Chapter 9

Sorceress Myst: Welcome Back! Don't worry Yue/ Ruby fans, I will still squeeze in a scene before Xylona talks about the past.

Fagtron: Guess what! I'm a year old!

Sorceress Myst: Yep a year ago, Fagtron was created for my six weeks test. Too bad I failed it. Curse my love for Dr. Pepper!

Fagtron: (while chewing on her chew toy) Can I say the disclaimer?

Sorceress Myst: I guess. (pulls chew toy from Fagtron's mouth)

Fagtron: I do not own CCS or any of its characters except for uhhh …all the characters listed in the last disclaimer.

Sorceress Myst: You know, that was vague enough to work. (throws chew toy) Go fetch girl!

Fagtron: My chew toy! (runs after it)

Sorceress Myst: Now on with the story before she comes back.

           ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

          "We should head for shelter. The storm is getting worse." Suggested Yue as he and Ruby flew through the stormy night.

"The storm this, the storm that. What so great about that storm." Ruby asked, letting go of Yue's arm.

"Uhh …I don't want you to get hurt in this storm."

"Oh Yue! That's so sweet!" Ruby hugged Yue so tight that they crash-landed on the school's roof. Then Ruby gave Yue a big kiss on the lips and Yue blushed a deep red

"Why don't we go inside and see if Sakura and her friends are safe?" Yue said while trying to walk away, but Ruby grabbed his arm again.

"Yeah and then we could have some private time!" Yue blushed redder.

"Ruby can't you once think about the possible danger our master could be in?" Suppi asked while flying above her, "Kalie want us to protect everyone."

"Suppi, I'm beginning to wonder if you have a crush on Kalie. You always talk about her." Ruby said, smirking.

"Th-that's not important right now. We need to go inside."  Suppi quickly transformed into his borrowed form and flew inside the school.

Syaoran looked around the corner to see if Sakura was there. He was in luck, she was there with her back facing him. Slowly he walked up to her, closer and closer. Sakura sensed someone behind her and looked away from her book. No one was there, but when she turned back to her book she found a beautiful hand-painted plaster cherry blossom on it. Then a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and she felt someone kissing her cheek.

"Syaoran, where did you get this?"

"Xylona got bored and was messing around in the Arts and Crafts classroom." He answered as he turned her around to face him. Syaoran smiled and lowered his head to kiss Sakura. They were both lost in an innocent kiss until Kero came between him.

"Okay break it up!" shouted the small stuffed lion.

"Kero! What are you doing here?" Sakura asked, blushing a little.

"I got worried and came here when I found out you had to take shelter at the school." Soon Kalie flew to the group.

"Kero you came! I tried to contact you at home but you weren't there." Kalie said.

"Well I got great foresight!" Kero bragged. Sakura and Syaoran rolled their eyes and left to search for Eriol and Tomoyo. After a while, they found out Tomoyo and Eriol don't want to be found so Sakura and Syaoran decided to look for Xylona instead. ;)

"Sakura! I can sense his presence again!" Xylona shouted as she ran through the hallway. Mrs. Brainwasher saw her running and pulled out her trusty bullhorn.

"NO RUN-" Xylona stuffed a sock in the bullhorn as she ran by. Once Xylona reached Sakura and Syaoran, she began shaking them like a lunatic.

"He's laughing in my head and it's really annoying!" Xylona let them go and banged her head on the wall repeatedly.

"That will get him out of your head." Sakura muttered.

"Do you know who he possessed now?" asked Syaoran. Xylona stopped giving herself serious brain damage and pointed to the sky.

"I don't know how but he possessed the coming hurricane." She answered when she noticed the voice in her head was gone.

"Don't you mean typhoon?" Sakura asked as the group started walking aimlessly. Xylona blushed and said, "Oh yeah, I forgot Japan is in the Pacific Ocean. I'm used to hurricanes when I was living in North America."

"Shouldn't we fight him soon?" Syaoran asked.

"We can't until the eye of the storm. He will show up in a form we can beat up. I hope you have your cards, Sakura."

"Don't worry, I have them." Soon the lights went out and Mrs. Brainwasher shouted, "GO TO SLEEP!!! …brats"

Syaoran took out his fire card and summon a little flame. The group walked in silence until they reached their sleeping bags near that closet. Eriol and Tomoyo were in each other's arms, leaning against the wall. Ruby, Suppi, Kero, Kalie, and Yue were there too. (Yue is not in Julian's body anymore. Don't ask me why, it just fits with my story.)

"Must sleep to regain full energy." Xylona said with her eyes wide open like a zombie.

"Uhh Xylona I've been meaning to ask you. Why do you loose energy after casting spells?" Sakura asked as she sat on her sleeping bag.

"Well your magic is apart if you, your energy. Children of Mana call upon our natural powers to protect others, or ourselves. You, Sakura, are lucky. You just use a small fraction of you energy just calling your cards because, they feed off of your energy and summon their own spells. I, however, do not have magical spirits to summon and must rely on my energy." Xylona sat down on her sleeping bag, "Didn't you grow tired when you summoned your powers to change the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards?"

Sakura nodded and Eriol realized something, "Xylona, you didn't loose energy that quickly when Eiryn came two months ago."

"There was a Clow Card inside me, so I must have used its energy as well as mine."

"You never told us how you got that Clow Card or when you first met Eiryn. Why don't you tell us now?" suggested Syaoran, sitting down next to Sakura.

"Three months ago you met me and you visited me every weekend to have a good practice fight, right Syaoran? 2 years ago I was adopted to the Pendragon family in North America. Before that, I was known as Mysty. (Yeah, yeah, I know the name is suspiciously similar to the author's) I was Mysty Shaheen, born in Texas, had a twin sister named Onica, and had supportive parents. Remember your old Internet pin pal Lady of the Dragons, that was me." 

"You were Lady of the Dragons?! I thought you seemed familiar when I first met you!" exclaimed Sakura.

"Then that means Sakura and I knew Xylona for 3 years." Tomoyo said, Xylona nodded.

"It all begins at a small town in Texas…"

Sorceress Myst: …I guess I couldn't make this chapter as long as the others. The next chapter will talk about Xylona's past.

Fagtron: (trying to chew on Sorceress Myst's new necklace) Ugh! Sorcerer Noah has bad tastes. He gave you a silver necklace instead of a gold one.

Sorceress Myst: That's why he gave me a silver one. So you can't chew on it! Now go chew on your chew toy.

Fagtron: Umm, I gave it to a little boy in the alley.

Sorceress Myst: That was nice of you, but what are you going to chew on?

Fagtron: Don't worry, I have an alternate chew toy. (starts chewing on a slipper)

Sorceress Myst: Hey those are Sorceress Celine's favorite emerald velvet slippers!
