Scary Sixteen
Over the next two days Sakura's life was a normal as could be. Friday morning she hand her training before she went to school. When she got there talked with Tomoyo and their friends before class. Went to her classes including the dreaded math class and boring history class before lunch.
"So Sakura what do you plan for your birthday tomorrow?" Naoko asked. Her other friends quieted down to hear the news.
"Well first my family is gonna have a big birthday breakfast then I was thinking that if any of you wanted we could meet at the mall for a little shopping before we have a camp out in my back yard," she explained.
"Wow that sounds fun," said Tomoyo, "You can count me in," she said. Sakura nodded and looked at the rest of her friends.
"I'll be there," said Naoko.
"We can come for the shopping but Yamazaki has to go to his grandmothers house later that day but I'll be there for the camp out," said Chiharu.
"I can make the shopping too but not the camp out," said Rika.
"Alright then its all settled," said Sakura happily.
"Is anyone else coming?" Yamazaki asked. Sakura thought of Syaoran.
"I tried to contact Syaoran and Melin but like always they're busy," she said quietly. Everyone knew how much Sakura wanted Syaoran to be there and it hurt to see her so sad.
"We'll just have to take pictures and remember everything so we can tell them when we see them next time," said Rika. Sakura smiled and nodded. Suddenly the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. The group packed up and finished off the school day.
"So you're coming to the breakfast too right?" Sakura asked on their way home.
"Of course," said Tomoyo.
"In that case I insist you bring your mother too," said Sakura. Tomoyo nodded then got that mischievous glint in her eyes that made Sakura sweat turn cold.
"Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said.
"Ye-Yes Tomoyo," Sakura answered nervously.
"You have to come over right now and try on the outfit I want you to wear tomorrow," she said.
"But I have homework to do and um…Kero will be hungry," Sakura said hurriedly.
"Oh Sakura don't worry about that it will only take a minute," said Tomoyo pleadingly. Sakura sighed. 'What have I gotten myself into?' she asked herself.
"Ok Tomoyo I'll go," she gave in.
"Great let's go," said Tomoyo pulling the helpless girl down the street.
A few hours later Sakura walked into her house and leaned up against the door. What Tomoyo had said would be a few minutes took forever after fittings and adjustments and more fittings followed by additions she hand finally announced that she was finished and allowed Sakura to go home. Sakura couldn't really complain the outfit came out beautifully.
"So your finally home," came Touya's voice followed by his face around the corner.
"Yea I was at Tomoyo's. She made an outfit for me to wear for my birthday wanna see?" she asked.
"I'll see tomorrow," he said. "I hope you know I had to feed that stupid stuffed animal of yours while you were gone. Where does it all goes?" He asked frustrated. Sakura sweatdropped.
"Sorry about that as to where it goes…who knows," she said sheepishly.
"Hey I can hear you two talking about me," said Kero flying over to the two.
"Your supposed to in my room when I'm not home," said Sakura.
"Oh Sakura I let him roam around the house as long as we don't have company," said Fujitaka coming from the kitchen.
"Well if you say it's ok," said Sakura.
"It ok now he doesn't have to be in hiding all the time now that we all know about him," he explained. Sakura shrugged her shoulders.
"Mmm, something smells great," she said.
"Take your things upstairs and we can eat dinner," her father said with a smile. Sakura hurried upstairs and soon they were all sitting down for dinner. That night Sakura slept fitfully with dreams of a birthday including the one she loved.
The next morning Sakura woke up slightly later then usually but she couldn't remember what woke her. Lifting her nose to the air she smelled the beginning of what seemed like a great breakfast already on its way. Looking around her room she guessed that Kero had already went downstairs to see if he could be the official tester. She went and took a nice warm shower using her special shampoo and body wash that was scented with cherry blossoms. She dried her hair and put on her new outfit.
It was a two piece outfit composed of a shirt and dress. The shirt was white and high necked made out of a almost satin silk material. It had long scooped sleeves. The shirt was under a light red dress and went to her knees in a floaty skirt. The whole dress had a sprinkling of embroidered cherry blossoms in a beautiful pink shade. For her hair she parted it across the middle and tied the top in a half ponytail secured with a white ribbon with the same cherry blossoms it had enough length to had partly down her back. She slipped on a pair of white tennis shoes and went down the stairs.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY," yelled the people in the living room.
"Thank you everyone," she said smiling at everyone. There was her father, her brother, Yukito, Kero, and Sonomi she looked around for Tomoyo. Sonomi noticed.
"Silly me forgot your gift and sent Tomoyo to go get it she should be here any minute," she said. As if on cue Tomoyo busted through the door.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKURA-CHAN," she yelled giving the other girl a hug. Sakura hugged back before she stiffened. Quickly she pushed Tomoyo away just as a beam of energy went right between them and blew a hole in the couch. Everyone turned surprised to the new figure in the room. Sensing the enormous evil aura Kero and Yukito transformed to the true forms. Standing in front of the others.
"Who are you?" Kero demanded.
"And what business do you have here?" asked Yue. The hooded figure drew the hood from its head to reveal a man in his late thirties maybe early forties. He had pure black hair that was slicked back to land on his shoulders his eyes were black but radiated with an evil light. He was very pale and when he smirked he showed fanged teeth.
"I am I am Lord Raikash the most evil sorcerer ever," he said. His eyes flickered from the guardians to Sakura who held a clinging Tomoyo. His smile widened as his eyes began to turn a glowing red.
"Hey buddy I don't like how your looking at my sister like that," said Touya stepping in front of his vision of the two girls with Fujitaka by his side. Sonomi inched closer to the girls.
"I will not harm you if you give up the Cards Mistress," he said. Kero and Yue braced for attack. Raikash looked at them. "Wrong move," he snarled and shot a hand out at the two guardians. They were thrown through the living room wall and into the kitchen where they laid motionless
"Nooooooo," Sakura yelled. Raikash came at her but Touya pushed him away.
"Hurry go get the cards," he told her as he began punching at the evil lord. Still holding Tomoyo's hands she ran back up the stairs with Fujitaka and Sonomi a moment behind.
"Not so fast," said Lord Raikash crushing Touya's windpipe and shot a hand out at them. Fujitaka push the girls and Sonomi up the next few steps and took the blow leaving him mangled. The three women raced up the stairs. Hearing Raikash coming up after them Sonomi pushed them into the room and shut them inside.
"Mother," Tomoyo screamed. Sakura turned and grabbed the cards placing them in her pouch and called her key.
Oh key of the star
With powers burning bright
Reveal the staff
And shine your light
RELEASE…
The was a bang on the door then all went quiet Sakura and Tomoyo stood frozen thinking the worse. Just then there was a thump on the other side before the door knob was tried but it remained locked.
"Tomoyo he's too strong we have to go," said Sakura taking hold of the distraught girl. She didn't notice when they had both started crying. Tomoyo only nodded.
"We better hurry," she said. Sakura nodded and pulled out one of her new cards.
"Release Teleport Card," said Sakura. 'Take us to Eriol,' she told it silently. Just as the door opened to reveal a smirking Lord Raikash before they disappeared.
"No," yelled Raikash sending a blast at them but it was too late they were gone. He began to glow a molten red. "DAMN THEM," he yelled. Composing himself he walked back down the stairs. At the foot of them was Fujitaka and Sonomi when he hand threw her down them. The rest were littered around the house. Beside him materialized a young woman in a tight red outfit with the same hair style and fanged teeth.
"So she got away," she said.
"Yes Blanca but I have something she want," he said and at once all of the bodies were healed of the minor wounds.
"Is that why you didn't really kill them?" she asked.
"Yes now where could they have gone?" he asked.
"I know the one place they might go," said the girl.
"Go and find out if they are there if they are tell them to hand over the crystal tear or their loved ones will truly die this time," he said before he disappeared with Kero, Yukito, Touya, Fujitaka, and Sonomi.
"To Hong Kong I go," she said to herself before she too disappeared.
