Meiling's eyes pops open as she squeals, "Really? WOW!" she exclaims, "Wow! Wow! Wow! That means I can go to anywhere I want without Auntie Yelan catching me!"

Kaho sighs as she adds, "I mean, Ms. Li, WHEN you need to go to the Deimos hall, so please pipe down." Meiling pouts but obediently obeyed. "Good, and now, I want you to know that these doubles are called Moon Mirrors, and they are the people that look like you, act like you, reflect about you, and do what you would do. Okay?" The girls nod.

Kaho smiles, "Very well. For our next meeting, you will soon meet your true master, Clow Reed."

Chapter 5: The First Mission >>

Another typical Wednesday morning, as the golden sun slowly climbs up the big mountains, and the birds setting off towards the great sky. Students with their uniforms kissing their families goodbye as they start to head off to school, and 5 unusual teenage girls, with unlikely elemental powers walking towards the streets of Tomoeda…

Sakura Kinomoto continues to walk with a frown and still sleepy eyes, her four friends behind her. Such an unusual day for Sakura this is! An early morning, here she is, walking to school. A miracle this must be!

"Aww… don't take it so hard, Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cheers, showing her pearly whites, and starts to catch up with her best friend. "Besides, don't you want this? It feels great walking early and smelling the fresh air!"

The auburn-haired girl rolls her emerald green eyes and responds with a pout, "Oh, sure, Tomoyo…. You tell me… I was so peacefully sleeping when you have to put my alarm clock in the loudest volume just right next to my ears, and that when I instantly woke up, Chiharu was in front of me, dressed up like DRACULA!"

Tomoyo giggles and smiles, "It was just for fun, Sakura. Don't take it so personally." She turns to her friends. "Right, girls?"

"Yeah, Sakura!" the three girls chorused, giggling uncontrollably. Sakura, who cannot hide it anymore, starts to smile. It feels so good to have friends like this. So good…

XXX ELSE WHERE… XXX

A girl with maroon hair and maroon eyes walks towards the crystal ball of her master, Clow Reed, and starts to frown as she sets her eyes towards the five girls, looking so carefree and childish.

"They aren't fit to be the guardians," she murmurs softly and dangerously, as her shoulders drop. "They have no experience." She starts to look away. "Clow Reed has me, and Suppi, but why THEM? What do they have that I don't?"

Ruby Moon, her code name, sighs and crosses her slender arms in front of her. "I can't believe this." She says in a whisper. "I have to find a way somehow to prove they aren't fit to contain the elemental powers…"

She narrows her eyes and says darkly, "I HAVE to find a way."

XXX BACK TO TOMOEDA XXX

Sakura swallows hard as their math teacher walks in to their humble classroom, looking strict as ever. Math, her most horrible subject, and her probably best enemy, is now here. She could barely remember what the teacher taught them yesterday. What was it again? Exponents? Or was it integers?

"Tomoyo… I'm scared…" Sakura whimpers to her best friend, who is beside her. Tomoyo turns to her with a questioned look. "I… I forgot what sensei discussed yesterday! What am I going to do?"

Tomoyo sighs and replies, "Just make the best of things, Sakura. Whatever will be, will be." Then she turns to their teacher, who has a triumphant look on his face. "Mr. Takana knows you're not good in math, so he'll probably go easy on you." She starts to cheer her best friend up, who only nodded.

"Well, class," their teacher barks as he sits down and opens his record book with a list of names in it. "I know we should have a review today about what I discussed yesterday, but since I'm such in a good mood, I think I'm going to give you all a pop quiz." He says this with a proud tone, and is also expecting some groans, which it did.

He starts to smirk and looks around the room, "Now, now. Let's get started." Little more groans and protests are to be heard. "Hmm… where should I start? To the bottom or above? Maybe halfway should do it…"

"Guardians…" a voice rings in Tomoyo's, Sakura's and also, Chiharu's mind. It sounded like Kaho's. "Guardians… I need you… Clow Reed needs you… Go to the Deimos Hall… now…"

"Did you hear that?" Sakura whispers to Tomoyo's ear, which simply nodded. "I think it was from Kaho. Tomoyo, call on to Chiharu and tell her we need to leave immediately." Tomoyo nods and gives Chiharu, who was at the other side of the room, the 'look'. The brown-haired girl nods back. "So…"

"KINOMOTO! DAIDOUJI!" Mr. Takana's voice yells to the girls, who made them jump in surprise. "What are you two mumbling in there?"

Tomoyo looks around with a desperate look, and an excuse finally zooms to her mind, "Um… sensei, I think Sakura's not feeling well… uhh… she needs to go to the… bathroom… yeah… to… to…"

Mr. Takana arches an eyebrow, and adds, "To what, Miss Daidouji? To have her 'bowel movement'?" Tomoyo nods with a sheepish smile, and Mr. Takana looks to the innocent Sakura, who seems perfectly fine, as he starts to be suspicious. "She wants to leave class right? All right, go ahead. And go with her. But as soon as you get back, you two will be stopping by the blackboard."

Sakura and Tomoyo nods and starts to walk towards the door, as Tomoyo again adds, "But this might take a while, sir." She starts to look behind Chiharu and urges her to come. Chiharu just simply nods and motions her to wait and that she'll be catching up later.

"Fine, then, Daidouji," Mr. Takana barks with a frown. "But remember, you two will be stopping here, alright? NO ONE escapes my quizzes!" Tomoyo nods and pushes Sakura to the hallway. "Alright, now that is over with, let us continue. How about Miha—" Once again, the teacher is interrupted.

"Oooohhhhh…" a girl with certain two pigtails moans loudly enough, hugging her stomachs tightly, a pained expression on her face. "Oooohhhhh… it hurts… my stomach hurts…"

Mr. Takana sighs again and shakes his head, "Miss Mihara, are you alright?" Chiharu looks up and stiffly shakes her head. "What seems to be the matter, then?" Chiharu bits her lower lip and points to her stomach. "Oh? A stomachache, is it? Mihara, are you bringing this up?"

Chiharu shakes her head and replies, "No…no, sensei…" she then secretly lowers her index finger below her desk and point to Mr. Takana's record book, and then points to the open window. In the split of a second, the record book is seen flying away outside.

"MY RECORD BOOK!" Mr. Takana shrieks as he starts to run outside the classroom to the outskirts of the school. "MY RECORD BOOK! THE TICKETS FOR THE COBALT BLUE CONCERTS IS IN THERE!"

Chiharu smirks triumphantly and stands up and snaps her fingers. "Score!" she laughs, and the whole class laughs with her. She then walks in front and says directly, "Class Dismiss!"

Back to Tomoyo and Sakura…

"What a nice way of bringing up an excuse, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura says in a bored tone, with a very unhappy frown. "I have to go to the bathroom to have my 'bowel movement'. It's so embarrassing! Good thing Syaoran's not in that class, or else, I would die of humiliation!"

Tomoyo giggles as they continue to walk towards the hallway, leading to a stairway. "But that was my only excuse, Sakura-chan." Then she starts to look around. "I wonder if Meiling and Naoko heard it, too?"

"We heard it," a familiar voice replies behind the two best friends. Sakura turns around and smiles as she sees Meiling and Naoko behind them with a smile. "Nihao!" Meiling greets.

Sakura smiles widely and pats Meiling by the shoulder, "Good, we are all here." Then she looks around. "The only missing left is Chiharu…"

"Hey guys! 'Sup?" a voice says behind them, and as they turn around, they see Chiharu smiling at them, her back against the wall, and arms crossed in front of her. Chiharu then starts to walk by her friends. "So, all of us heard Kaho's call. This makes immediate action."

"But where would we go?" Naoko asks in a matter-of-fact tone, pushing up her glasses. "We can't possibly transport to Deimos here. Many people can see, and can accuse us of being witches."

Sakura nods and says, "She's right." Then she starts to think, and then after a while, snaps her fingers. "Oh, I know!" then she stops. "Wait. I think we're missing something."

The other four girls blink. "Huh? What?"

Sakura giggles and winks, "Moon Mirrors! We can't just leave without the school's permission, ne?" the four girls look at each other and broke into grins.

Ten minutes later…

"What a place… so… ugh… clean…" Meiling says with sarcasm as they enter the smelly boys' room, filled with such dirt and sour smell. Meiling then tries to fan her nose. "Ugh, what a stench!" she then turns to Sakura who had no movement as she continues to walk in the middle. "Don't tell me this is what you have in mind, Sakura."

Sakura glances up to her and smiles, "I'm sorry, Meiling, but this is the only way left." Then she continues to walk in the middle, ignoring the smelly surroundings. "Besides, you don't want to go to the girls' room, don't you? Numerous girls will be in there, and they'll suspect the whole thing."

"She has a point, Meiling," Chiharu snaps at her 'rival' with a triumphant smile. "No need to get picky!" then she laughs off.

Meiling narrows her eyes at Chiharu and clenches her fist. "Darn you, Chiharu!" then she sighs and follows behind Sakura. "Okay, let's get this over with." The other four nods as they form a circle.

Sakura then puts out her Crystal Heart pendant, and starts to chant…

"O Crystal Heart, with all our heart and soul, may you guide us to our way towards to Clow Reed in the Deimos Congregation Hall. May the Holy Spirit of Yuan Xin reside into our spirits and enlighten our hearts and mind, as we get ready for our mission to stop evil at all costs. Crystal Heart, bring us to Deimos!"

In a magical place…

A holy lion, with unusual black fur, and dangerous but kind eyes, looks up suddenly as he feels a supernatural force is coming towards his master's lair. He turns to his master, Clow Reed, who has a mysterious smile, and is looking very calm and relaxed as he sat in his royal throne.

"Master…" the loyal pet starts as he sits up, but then, interrupted.

"Do not worry, Spiral Sun," Clow Reed smiles, as he caresses its fur. He looks up again. "I feel it, too. It must be the new Guardians." He laughs. "They will now start their very first mission."

Spiral Sun soon starts to hesitate, as he asks, "But, Master, don't you think it's too much of a risk? They're only little girls! Very young, and very new to this kind of treatment!" He then shakes his head. "They might not know what to do, since this is their FIRST mission."

Clow Reed gives off a kind laugh. "Yes, I do know that, Spiral." Then he smiles at his pet. "But they are determined. They will give out their best, that is for sure."

"But Master…!"

The powerful man stops him with another laugh, "Just wait and see, Spiral Sun. You will know the results in a matter of days." Then he closes his eyes as he waits for the new girls to come in.

Then, suddenly, a pink light soon starts to grow in front of the highly man, as it grows bigger, brighter, and more powerful. Spiral Sun covers his eyes to protect it, but Clow Reed didn't. In fact, he was still smiling.

Then, the light soon fades, to reveal five young, sweet, beautiful but strong girls with eyes closed. Soon, they open their eyes, to reveal pretty colors of eyes such as warm emerald green, soft amethyst violet, determined ruby red, just honey brown, and sweet maroon.

Everyone in the congregation hall gasps at the beautiful sight of the girls, and soon, whispers are to be heard, but Sakura dismiss it.

"Which one of you is Clow Reed?" Sakura asks in a loud, strong and determined voice.

Clow Reed smiles as he stands up, and replies, "It is I, guardian. I welcome you to the Deimos Lair."

Sakura looks up and her eyes flew open. Clow Reed was terribly handsome! At first, she was expecting a wrinkly old man who always barked orders, but this was nothing she expected! He looks even kind!

Then, Sakura kneels down before the powerful man, as Tomoyo, Chiharu and Naoko did the same. Meiling looks around, dumbfounded, but Chiharu nudges her at her ankle and Meiling then kneels down, grumbling about something.

"Thank you for the treatment, guardians," Clow Reed smiles. "I have expected you. As you have known, I am Clow Reed, your master. This, on my right side, is Spiral Sun, my loyal pet. And on my left side is…" then he turns around. "Hm? Where is Eriol?"

"Sorry I am late!" a voice calls behind the magician. He turns around and smiles; it was Eriol, with his round glasses, azure hair and sapphire eyes. "Hi! I'm Eriol, Clow Reed's assistant."

Clow Reed laughs, "He said it all."

Tomoyo looks at Eriol with surprised amethyst eyes, as she feels her heart pounding against her chest. This Eriol looks so cute, and she is pretty sure she is at the same age as her.

Eriol looks at the guardians and caught Tomoyo looking at him differently… like… dreamy. He chuckles and shakes his head as he thinks – Another admirer, I see… -

But Eriol has someone else in mind, and it was surely not Tomoyo. It was another girl, also one of the guardians, with characteristics such as strong, beautiful, independent and strong-willed. And it was, Sakura Kinomoto.

(A/n: Please forgive me, Tomoyo/Eriol fans, but I immediately made a mistake about the couple thing. At first, Eriol is veryIN LOVEto Sakura. But in the end, you'll know the twist. )

"Very well, then," Clow Reed booms. "You will get to be used to us sooner or later. As for now, I have a mission to be bestowed upon you."

"We are ready for your orders," Sakura replies, her voice echoing in the palace, the other four girls smiles at their leader.

Clow Reed smiles, "Good. I will give you the mission." He puts out his right hand and places it in front of him and chants a spell. A few moments, an image of the planets and galaxies under his guard appears magically. "As you can see, one planet among you are seeing now is called Velania, the world of lifting verses and unknown curses."

"There is a king that lives here, and his name is Fateskos, the king that was before had a heart of gold, but now, changed, and for the reason, I do not know. Now that he is very evil and has a heart full of rage, he despise me, hates me, accusing me of the sufferings he has experienced and wants to destroy me, and not only me, but everything."

"Every day that pass, every second that go by, he is getting stronger. It must be because of the anger that is packed up inside him." Clow Reed puts off the images. "And now, I want you to stop him. Stop him before it's too late. Change his mind. Let his heart soften."

Sakura, Meiling, Chiharu, Naoko and Tomoyo nods in the same time, and is getting the message. Eriol smiles for their bravery, especially for the young leader.

"Very well," Cloud Reed smiles, and zaps a portal below where the guardians are standing. "That is the portal to Velania. Remember, do your best, but do not force yourself if you can't do it. There is always a second time. Now, DO YOUR DUTY!"

"Yogai (Roger)!" exclaims the girls, closing their eyes as they are slowly now being transported to the land of Velania…

1 second later… (The transportation of Clow Reed and any magic related to him is similar to a fraction of light… so yeah…)

Meiling slowly opens her eyes to see unfamiliar surroundings. It was dark, strange trees… maybe it was nighttime… she looks down herself and screams! She wasn't wearing their uniform! They were wearing…

"AH! Why am I wearing this!" yells Chiharu. She was wearing a V-neck earth-green shirt, narrowed to her thumb. Sparkles of dust is scattered on her skirt which was up until to her foot, which was colored forest green.

"A costume? Oh! Interesting! Free clothes!" Naoko laughs. She was wearing an also V-neck orange sleeveless hang top and a red miniskirt with long orange and red socks. She is wearing a fiery red headband.

"ARGH! I can sew better than this!" Tomoyo cries. She was wearing a gray square-neck hang top, and gray miniskirt that is above the knees and white socks.

"Oh… a costume… I wasn't expecting this…" Sakura says, smiling. She is wearing a V-neck yellow shirt, its sleeve to her hands. She is also wearing very short yellow short, but very long light yellow socks.

Well, as for Meiling, she is wearing a blue sleeveless square-necked shirt and has similar shorts like Sakura, but has short blue socks.

"At least look at the bright side guys," Naoko cheers up her friends, shrugging. "We got free clothes! I mean, costumes!"

Tomoyo sighs and gives up, "I guess," then she lit up with an annoyed face. "But I can sew something better than this, y'know…"

Sakura giggles, then their laughter fades, as she looks around the new surroundings. Trees are everywhere, and it seems it is also nighttime. And it also seems they are in the middle of a forest.

Rustle… Rustle…

"Shh…" Sakura warns her friends, putting her index finger on her lips, motioning to be quiet. The other four instantly shuts up. "Be quiet… I think… I'm hearing something…"

Rustle… Rustle…

Sakura quickly put on her fighting stance, and so did the others, expecting a fight…

To be continued…
