It's me again! I tried to get this chapter out as soon as possible; unfortunately it did not work as planned. The story would be completed hopefully by the time summer hits. Anyhow, I wanted to get this story moving. I mean it was getting kind of reparative. A card gets out of control, Sakura calms it down. So, here is the chapter that you will learn more of Redagen. Thank you for the long wait.

Chapter Seven:

Redagen

Eriol walked in to his house. He saw Naruku sitting on the couch watching television. "Ruby Moon, we need to talk." Naruku looked up and instantly turned into the guardian. "What is the matter, master?" Ruby Moon said. "What do you know about Redagen?" Ruby Moon looked stunned for a second. "Well, I… Yue should tell you guys." "We tried that and Yue wouldn't talk." "He will now …" Ruby Moon said softly.

Supi looked at his master and Ruby Moon, "Are we going to Sakura's place?"

Everyone arrived at Sakura room. Yue was confused about the gathering because he was the only one that was not informed. Ruby Moon stood next to Yue, "We should tell them. There is no use not telling them the truth." Yue gave her the look that said are-you-sure? Ruby Moon nodded. Kero had some home made popcorn with him that made it look like he was watching a movie. Supi sat next to him to steal the popcorn, which ended that the popcorn was everywhere. Sakura stared at Kero annoyed, "Kero, clean this room right now!" Sakura and the others patted their hair to make sure no popcorn flew on their hair. It ended everyone had at least two popcorn caught in their hair. Their hair smelled like butter …great they all thought. Kero and Supi ran across the floor to eat the popcorn. Everyone just ignored them.

After Kero and Supi finished eating the popcorn which left the room popcorn less, they directed their attention to Yue and Ruby Moon.

Ruby Moon decided to start, "As you know, Yue is powered by the moon. Redagen is powered by dragons. Dragons are the most powerful beings known and Redagen possessed the power of each dragon."

"So, Redagen went crazy and almost destroyed Earth?" Syaoran asked.

Ruby Moon had to laugh at this. Yue shook his head, "Redagen would never do anything like that."

"The chances he would do that is like Sakura using the cards to take over the world." Ruby Moon stated.

"No, Redagen was a pure soul. He would never do anything to hurt someone unless it was necessary. "

"Then why were you scared when you saw him?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know what 300 years could do to him."

"300 years?" Tomoyo said.

"Yes, he was locked up for 300 years. It was supposed to be for eternity."

"What did he do?"

"Nothing", Ruby Moon spat.

"Then why would he be locked up for eternity?" Mei-ling asked.

"Fear", Kero said.

"Huh?" They all looked at Kero.

Yue cleared his throat, "Yes, the council saw what Redagen could do and were afraid of him."

"What did Redagen do?"

"He saved the world … but he unleashed a power that should have never been seen."

"What? They locked him up because he saved the world?" Sakura said angrily.

Ruby Moon nodded, "Redagen was a fool to not rebel. He did nothing wrong but was punished."

"The council sounds like a bunch of idiots", Syaoran said.

"They were afraid they will loose control. Redagen was the only one that was threat to them. They knew he would not do anything but nonetheless locked him away." Ruby Moon said sadly.

"What was happening that Redagen had to use his power?" Supi asked curiously.

"You heard the stories … a war. The owners of the magical books passed away so, someone else was to claim the book. Unfortunately the new owner was unable to control the book and unleashed a deadly spell. The spell sent all the enemies that the original owner fought to be revived. You see the owner killed thousands so, thousands of enemies were released. The guardians fought the undead and we were losing. Redagen was never allowed to fight till that day. In a couple blasts he killed all of them. They were all sent back into the book. People were overjoyed by this but the council was furious. They told Redagen that his power will cause destruction to the colony. They said that they will send him somewhere that will allow him to cause no harm." Yue said sadly.

"They lied?" Sakura asked.

"No, they told the truth but they were going to send Redagen to a dimension that he will be all alone."

"Why didn't they just kill him?" Syaoran asked.

"They couldn't. Redagen's dragon powers were unstable and if he was in any danger there was a chance that the powers will activate and defend him." Ruby Moon answered.

"How did he know about the clow cards?" Sakura asked.

"He was supposed to be your guardian. But, when he was …. punished I replaced him." Yue said.

"What about the books? Whatever happened to them?" Sakura asked.

"I doubt Yue or Ruby Moon knows. The book supposedly was given to another family but, of course no one is sure." Supi said.

"Is the person who carries the book, the enemy?" Tomoyo asks.

"We can not be certain." Yue said.

The meeting was dismissed.

Eriol walked by a park and he heard his name called. He turned to face Joe. Joe was sitting on a bench and his back was facing Eriol. Eriol went over and greeted him. Joe expression was plain and dull.

"So, you have been spending time with Celina?"

"Not too much …"

"Celina isn't as strong as she seems."

"…."

"There was a moment in time when she vulnerable …"

"When was that?"

"When … coughs parents died."

"Well, anyone would we weak when their parents died."

"She didn't cry."

"Then?"

"She told me that death is part of life and everyone and everything has to experience it. There is no point in weeping something that you know will come. She was sad though; she didn't speak, talk, smile, or eat for nineteen days. She was as good as dead."

"What made her to return to her former self?"

"I don't know but within those nineteen days she always wrote about something. After the phase was over I believe she burned the books but I am not sure."

Eriol got up and was about to leave till Joe added, "If she ever goes through that phase again, please protect her with your life."

Eriol didn't answer, he just walked away.

Sakura fell down on her bed. It was 1 p.m. A little fair was about to start. It started around 2 and a huge section of the city had rides, cotton candy and popcorn. Sakura wondered why they had the fair now. Christmas had already past but she believed it was basically because everyone was too busy with their families to care about the fair. Sakura looked at the window and remembered the gorgeous women she keeps seeing. Was she going insane? Clearly the woman did not exist but why does she keep seeing her?

Sakura sighed. It was a possibility that she had made up the woman but all the weird stuff that had been happening, Sakura was not one hundred percent sure. Sakura wished to clear her mind so; she headed out to the fair. She left a note for her father. Her brother was already out with his best friend.

Sakura wondered around and heard loud screams and music being played. She smiled as the huge floats passed by.

"Hello", Sakura jumped and looked behind her to see who that voice belonged to. Syaoran was behind her. "Um, hi. Why are you here?" He nodded towards a group of girls. "Let's get out of here", Syaoran said walking away from his sisters. Sakura followed him, "What about your sisters?" "They won't notice, besides we got a few hours. We can do whatever we want till the fireworks."

Sakura walked besides Syaoran without saying a word for ten minutes. She wished it could stay like this, but of course things never last. "Why have you been avoiding me?" Syaoran asks casually.

Sakura sighed, "Do you believe in premonitions?"

"You think you had one?"

"I … don't know."

"What happened?"

"I'm … I'm not sure … it was unclear", Sakura lied. The only thing unclear was the person who was causing the destruction.

Syaoran looked at her disbelievingly, she was stuttering a lot. "It was probably a nightmare."

Sakura nodded and whispered softly to herself, "I hope".

The day went by how it used to be. How Sakura had nothing to worry about besides the clow cards. Sakura remembered the boy that would always come and help her when she was in trouble with the clow cards. Sakura frowned slightly remembering that practically every time he returns is because of the cards. For example now, the clow cards are acting strange and he came, and the first time she ever met him was to capture the clow cards.

Sakura spotted Tomoyo and Eriol. "Tomoyo!" Tomoyo turned to Sakura. "Oh hi!" They gave each other a friendly hug. "Are you two dating?" Sakura said pointing to both of them.

"No!" They said in unison and turned away to hide their red cheeks.

"What about you two?" Tomoyo quickly changed the subject looking at Sakura and Syaoran.

"We ran into each other". Sakura said casually.

Sakura looked around and saw someone selling cotton candy. "Oh, I have to have some!" She walked towards the stand and brought the cotton candy. She happily ripped pieces of sugar and put it in her mouth. The sugar rushed through her. They all began to pick pieces from the cotton candy. Sakura sighed happily.

The streets were crowded with people and you could get lost easily. Sakura and the others stood on the side as the floats passed by. They were fascinated by all the lovely floats. When the parade ended, people began to crowd again.

Sakura felt herself being pushed away from her friends. They all tried to push their way towards each other. Sakura stopped shoving the large amounts of people. She once again saw the woman standing there. It felt as if time had frozen. She stood there as people just passed, Sakura did the same. Sakura could not move or speak. She just stared. The woman gave a warm smile. Sakura slowly opened her mouth and was able to say, "Uh…" People begin to pass and block Sakura from seeing the woman but Sakura could still see her or at least feel her presence.

She felt a tap on her and slowly turned around. Tomoyo looked at her oddly because the look on Sakura's showed that she was dreaming or something. "Sakura?" Sakura shook her head and said, "Hey, you got away from the mob?" Tomoyo nodded. Sakura looked back at the spot the woman stood but like all the other times she was gone.

"Where are the guys?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo simply shrugged. Sakura nodded and began to walk away. Tomoyo followed her and asked, "What is with you? You were hyper just a couple of minutes ago, but now you seem so dead." Sakura opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. Sakura shook her head, "Its nothing, I just hope we can find the guys."

Sakura did not know why she did not tell Tomoyo. She felt that she was going insane. It seemed all too strange to her. Sakura wanted so much to ask everyone here if they saw that woman. For someone to tell her she is not insane, someone that saw what she saw, and someone that knew who she saw.

Sakura wished she knew who that woman was, and why she was so familiar to her. Sakura mind traveled, was she a ghost? That would be one possible reason no one can see her … but then how could she? Wait a moment, ghosts doesn't exist right? But then all the things happening I can't help but wonder … Still, ghosts? Ahhh … I am going insane. She felt her slamming right into someone. She looked up at a man looking angrily at her, "Stupid teens …" he muttered.

Tomoyo grabbed her arm, "Are you okay?" Sakura nodded.

"Sakura!"

Sakura slowly turned to her friend. "Yes?"

"We are best friends right?"

"Yes …"

"Then tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing, oh look I see them." Sakura quickly said and pointed to two boys. They rushed towards the boys standing on the sidewalk away from the big crowd. "Hey!" The guys looked up and waved.

Sakura looked up at the night sky as fireworks exploded in the night sky. They all had sat down on a bench and watched the fireworks. She admired them as a little kid would about how gorgeous they were. A big explosion causes all of them to gasp as the huge beauty scattered.

One final explosion meant the show had ended. Sakura watched as the final sparks faded into the night sky. Tomoyo sighed. "I wish we can do this everyday but school is tomorrow. This vacation seemed to pass so fast. So, how are you going home?" Sakura shrugged.

"Syaoran should take you home" One of his sisters's said. I don't know their names … if you do tell me -.-;;

"Uh … isn't mom expecting us …?"

"No, c'mon the poor girl needs an escort. Hurry!" She says pushing her brother towards Sakura.

"Fine" Syaoran said.

They said their good-byes and walked in an uncomfortable silence. Sakura looked up in the sky, the star shined so brightly and the moon was full. It was truly a beautiful sight. "Remember the first clow card we caught together. It was the time wasn't it?"

"Huh? Yeah … it was. Tomoyo made you a very interesting outfit, but she always did for all the clow cards you went after."

"I remember the first time I met Kero. Oh, you two never got along well did you? I remember when you two switched bodies. Kero had to cook for Mei-ling." Sakura laughed remembering when Syaoran had to be Kero.

"It wasn't that fun…."

Sakura smiled at him, the innocent smile she would always have. Syaoran turned away to avoid her from seeing his blushing cheeks.

"Uh … we are here."

Sakura went up to her door. "Li …" Syaoran turned around and felt Sakura's body pressed against his. "Sakura …"

"Don't leave …" Sakura whispered softly.

Syaoran did not say anything and hugged her. He could not lie to her, but he wanted to protect her. He did not know that was what she feared.

"Sakura … You should go before your brother comes …" Sakura looked up and slowly pulled away. "Yeah …" She ran to the door and opened it. "Good-bye" She said quickly and disappeared into the house.

Syaoran looked up as he saw a light flicker indicating she was in her room. He turned to leave and whispered softly, "I'm sorry, Sakura".

The next day

Sakura rolled over her bed as the clock buzzed. She clicked the sleep button and continued to dream. The phone rang, her father told her to pick up the phone. Sakura yawned and picked up that phone, "hello?"

"Are you ready yet? I'm at your house in…." A familiar voice said.

"Tomoyo? You are at my house! HOLD ON", Sakura hang up the phone and put her clothes on. She quickly went to the bathroom and got ready. She ran downstairs and saw no one.

"I'm glad you are up. Tomoyo said she will be here in 20 minutes." Sakura's mouth dropped. "She …." Sakura began but was interrupted by the door bell.

She opened the door to see Tomoyo in front of her.

"I'm glad you are up Sakura." Tomoyo smiled.

"Good morning!" Sakura said cheerfully.

Tomoyo smiled, "Good morning!"

They walked together talking about school gossip. Such as, how there was rumors of how a teachers were dating each other. When they were one block away from the school they saw Elrojo exiting from his car with a man right next to him.

"Good morning Elrojo!" They said in unison.

The teenager looked at the girls and waved. The man bowed and said, "Good morning, Ms. Kinomoto and Ms. Daidouji."

"You don't have to formal to us, sir. Just call us Sakura and Tomoyo," Sakura said quickly.

"Sorry about Shinji,A/N I would like to thank Anonymous Coward for giving me this name. he is my butler and my guardian."

"How does he know our names?" Tomoyo asked.

"I told him. Let us go to school now. Shinji you can go home, I will come back right after I go to the shop."

Shinji bowed once again and entered the car and drove away.

They entered class and were all chatting until the bell rang. The teacher was checking attendance. When the teacher called Celina name, there was no answer.

"Celina is not here?" Tomoyo whispered looking around.

"I hope she is not sick," Sakura whispered back.

"TOMOYO DAIDOUJI!"

"Here!"

"Pay attention next time," The teacher said and continued.

After school, Sakura and Tomoyo went to Celina's house to check if she was alright. Sakura rang the doorbell and it was quickly answered by Marie.

The maid told them that Celina was not at home and Celina would be attending school tomorrow. So, they did not have to worry.

Kinomoto's Residents

Sakura plopped on her bed. She looked up to her ceiling and felt warmth on her waist. She looked down and found her key chain was glowing. She transformed it into a wand, a light shot up through the window and into the night sky. Sakura opened her window and tried to see where the light pointed at.

She felt a tug, next thing she knew she was outside and Kero was chasing after her. She stopped in an open space, away from society. She let go of her wand that she clung so tightly while she was flying.

She looked around her surroundings and found a being sitting in mid air. It was Redagen, his eyes was closed. Sakura slowly walked up to him, his eyes immediately opened. "Hello, mistress" he spoke the same way he had the first time she met him.

"What … am I … doing here?"

"Hmm … to prove the power of the clow cards", Redagen said simply. "Though, your guardians could hurry."

Sakura turned around and saw nothing. The awkward moment lasted till Yue and Kero arrived.

"Long time no see, old friend", Redagen said smirking.

"What are you planning?"

"Ah, Yue, you will never change. I would hate to spoil the reunion though. But, like all of us, you chose your path I chose mine. I ask you, how well is the mistress with the cards?"

"…"

"Fine then …" beasts appeared around them. "Think of this as target practice, only thing is, you can get hurt if you miss."

Sakura looked around her and pulled out fire, she quickly summoned it. The being floated next to her, it glanced at the enemies and closed its eyes. In a blink of an eye, ashes surrounded her.

Redagen was expressionless but deep inside he was quite impressed. He decided to test if what seemed to have happened is truly what it seemed.

Sakura looked around as the dark ashes fell around her like black snow. Heat suddenly reached her. She turned and a bright light shined her way, Firey quickly protected Sakura, the light disappeared and Firey was no where to be seen.

"Just as I thought, I gathered enough." A fire ball formed in Redagen's palm. "Oh yes, Yue you can't stop me or Kero so, don't bother. And mistress, don't try to get out your other spirits. They are clearly still weak".

Sakura's eyes widen. The heat rushed to her, but just like all the other times it never reached her. She saw a black-haired girl near her.

"Geez, I didn't think you would actually do that." Celina said looking up at Redagen.

Chapter 8 should be out by next week. For the last two chapters, I would either put chapter 9&10 out together or one at a time. (Of course putting them together would take longer but, the rate I've been updating it doesn't seem so bad.)

Review!
