Chapter 7: Turning things up a notch
"Wow." said Sakura about ten minutes after the music stopped. "She played it."
"Perfectly." added Eriol.
"That was so beautiful." said Tomoyo, eyes closed absorbing the memory of the tune of the song.
"I suppose it wasn't that bad." said Syaoron calmly.
"You idiot. You really don't understand music do you?" asked Touya.
"Don't argue. You'll ruin the moment." said Nakuru before Syaoron could answer.
"So..." began Spinel.
"Haunting." finished Kero.
"She didn't read it for very long but she played it as though she knew it forever." said Yukito.
Everyone went quiet again, trying to keep the song in their heads. During this time, Crystal came down the steps. She came into the living room and smiled at the silence.
"Where did you get that book?" asked Eriol, finally noticing her. He looked over the book. It looked ancient.
"Birthday gift from my grandfather. 'Fàbula' was my favourite song but I never played it. Thought I'd try." she shrugged.
"You played great." said Tomoyo.
"And your singing voice is great too." added Touya.
"Thank you." she said with a small bow.
It Nakuru who first noticed the time. "Wow. It's 4:30 PM already!"
"Oh no!" cried Tomoyo. "I have to go meet my mom for supper!"
"We should get going." said Sakura.
Eriol and Nakuru walked the group to a large intersection where everyone split up. Sakura heade to the right on her own.
This time Sakura saw rather than heard the shadow come at her, so she managed to dodge it. It came at her again in the same pattern as the last time, so Sakura dodged it easily.
The thing noticed this and changed tatics, coming at her from behind. It pinned her to the ground and managed to grab a few Clow Cards.
It jumped up into a tree. Sakura looked up and saw the thing smirk as it held "Jump" and "Shot" in it's hand. Sakura gave a yelp of shock after seeing that it had two of the cards, which again alerted Yue who was by her side in a moment.
The figure, as if doing magic, clapped it's hands on the cards and they vanished in a puff of purple smoke. When the cards vanished Sakura fainted, Yue caught her and the thing escaped.
