Wings of Fiery

It was already a week since Kero, the guardian of the Clow, assigned Kai as the Cardcaptor, and yet nothing happened. Everything looked as if it was normal.

"A bird, a bird …" "This dream, don't tell me it was a future dream again." Kai murmured to himself. Ever since he became a Cardcaptor his grandfather had always remind him to take note of dreams he had recently as he had the power of having future dreams.

"Snore, snore…" Kai woke up and he wondered where this sound came from. The sound directed him to a drawer. As he opened it, he realized that it was Kero, the guardian of the Clow. Kero was snoring as he fell asleep on top of the Clow book and cookies crumb was everywhere.

After cleaning up, Kai placed Kero on his bed, which caused Kero to be awake from his sleep. "Sorry, did I woke you up?" Kai asked politely.

"No, I just woke up myself." Kero replied. "Did you have any future dream?" Kero asked.

"Yes, perhaps. I had a strange dream it was about a bird surrounded with fire." "Is it, Kai you better bring the Windy, Azure (Kai's magical weapon) and me with you today. I had a feeling that maybe one or two cards would be activated within these few days and I had a bad feeling about this."

"Okay." Kai replied. As Kai turned his head slightly he noticed that he was late for breakfast again. "I am late again!" Kai screamed as he ran into the hallway.

Kai was slightly late when he reached the school today, as he was listening to his grandfather's daily lecture about punctuality.

Kai walked passed and realized that Ayashi was already sitting on her seat reading her novel. He always wanted to tell Ayashi 'Good morning' yet he didn't have the chance to. "Good morning, Ayashi." Kai said mentally.

"Good morning, Mizuki-san." Ayashi said.

"Could she read minds, I can't believe that she greeted me today." Kai wondered.

"Good morning." Akito and Ayaski said together. "I saw Ayashi talking to you just now. " Akito asked.

"All I could say is that you are very observant, Akito. Yes, could you believe it Akito? Ayashi greeted me just now."

"Yah! I know." Akito said.

"Good for you, Kai!" Ayaski congratulated him.

Several lessons was over, it was finally sports. Their class was playing basketball. After a brief introduction, they were off to divide themselves into groups of four.

Akito, Ayaski and Kai were in a group of course. "We're short of one person." said Akito. Just as almost all the students were ready in their groups, Kai saw Ayashi wandering around. "Would you like to join our group?" Kai walked towards Ayashi and asked her.

"Really? But I'm a bad player you know?" she said.

"Of course," Kai replied. "Thank you! Mizuki-san." she answered with a smile which had mixed emotions in it. At the blow of the whistle, the game started.

Kai later realized that Ayashi said that she was a bad player was actually a lie, she was just probably humble. Ayashi was actually an excellent player; she helped the team to get numerous of perfect goals. After the game ended they won. Kai smiled at Ayashi and she smiled back at him. Kai think that the rumors about Ayashi being an ice queen were actually lies. Her true nature was just kind, helpful and humble. But her amethyst eyes was filled with sadness and mixed emotions, distant and yet so lonely.

Today was just another happy day for Kai. Kai headed home after school, when he suddenly felt an enormous aura behind him.

Kai took out Azure. "Servant of the darkness, power of the wind and night. Your master, Kai summons you, hereby fulfill the contract between us. AZURE, RELEASE!!" Kai shouted the summoning sentence of Azura loudly; it took him a long time to remember it.



"Is it, Kai you better bring the Windy, Azure and me along with you today. I had a feeling that maybe one or two cards would be activated within these few days and I had a bad feeling about this." Kai suddenly remembered Kero's reminder.

"OMG, I had completely forgotten Kero's reminder about bringing the Windy and him along with me." Just as Kai was thinking about Kero's reminder, the aura just get stronger.

"It was too late now; I had no sufficient time to go home to get Kero and the card." A fiery bird appeared in front of Kai.

"It was the bird in my dream, the bird with fire surrounding it." The bird flew nearer and nearer while Kai was daydreaming.

"Run, Kai!" a voice said. It was of course a common sense for Kai to run, as he had nothing except Azure to defend himself. Kero appeared out of no where.

"Kero, where did you come from?" Kai asked Kero surprisingly.

"I'm the guardian of the Clow, and Azure was the sealing key of the Clow, of course we had some connection." Kero answered.

"How are we going to defeat it?" Kai questioned.

"Those cards should be the Fly and Fiery. For the Fly, you could just easily defeat it with the Windy as its powers were originated form wind. Fiery, would be tricky for you since you do not have the Watery and Fiery was an attack card and an elemental card." Kero answered.

"I will just have to defeat the Fly first." Kai thought to himself. Indeed the Fly was easily captured using Windy, remaining the Fiery.

"It's coming!" Kero shouted. Fiery started shooting fire arrows aiming at Kai, it was too late.

"KAI…" Kero shouted as he thought that Kai was shot down. Kero was later shocked to see that Kai was still alive.

"He was still alive; does that mean that he could set up a barrier?" Kero murmured as he realized that the fire arrows did not manage to reach Kai. Seeing that the arrows did not reach Kai, the Fiery shot an arrow once again.

This time Kai used the Azure to defend himself, and to his surprise the arrow was frozen. "It could not be, he had not even captured the card yet." Kero said in shocked.

After thinking twice, Kero made a decision. "Kai use the Azure to defend you again." Kero shouted. "Okay." Kai replied. Using the Azure to defend himself, Kai saw the arrow that the Fiery shot had been frozen.

Kero made a conclusion, "Kai listen, I think that the Freeze was inside Azure, release it to help you to capture Fiery." Kero said.

"But I haven't captured that card? I also forgot to bring at the cards why it was stored in Azure?" Kai asked

Kero while he was trying his best to defend himself from the arrows Fiery was aiming at him. "I will explain to you about that later, just do what as I said." Kero exclaimed.

"Cards stored in the Azure, please aid me. Your master, Kai, command you to release your power. The Freeze! "Kai commanded. A huge creature in the shape of a whale with a huge ruby jewel embedded on its forehead emerges out of the Staff.

"So it was indeed the Freeze huh." Kero murmured. Kai concentrated his power and the Freeze finally manages to freeze the Fiery.

"Now, Kai use this opportunity to seal Fiery!" Kero exclaimed.

"Power of darkness, I, Kai commands you to return to your true form at once to fulfill my contract. Return to your true form, Clow Card!" Kai commanded. Fiery was finally defeated and was drawn into the card.

The Fiery landed on the ground, waiting for its master to pick it up. "Now, Kero, would you mind explaining why the Freeze and other cards was in Azure?" Kai asked out of curiosity.



"The other cards that you captured belongs to you, thus, they were stored in the Azure once they were sealed. As for Freeze, I do not know. Considered you to be lucky as it might be a present from the activator. But you would not be as lucky as this time." Kero explained.

"Kai certainly have some potential as a knight, he could set up barrier and he could even easily defeat the Fiery with the Freeze." Kero thought to himself. "Let's go home, Kero. I'm hungry." Kai shouted. Both of them walked back to the Mizuki mansion under the evening sky.

At the same time in an old mansion, the mansion was old yet beautiful and elegant. A woman with amethyst eyes and a strange but cute creature with long ears in a shape of a bun were looking Kai and Kero through a magical ring.

"Moonie-chan, interesting isn't it? Kai could even set up a barrier and defeat the Fiery." asked the woman with her amethyst eyes staring in the ring. The woman was dressed up in a black kimono, with her long straight hair by her shoulders and a long staff with symbols of stars, moon and sun indicated.

"Aya-chan, Kai-kun only managed to capture Fiery with the Freeze, without it he could not even do anything to Fiery. By the way, why did you help him?" asked the strange creature which was known as Moonie-chan by the woman.

"Moonie-chan, the Freeze was only given to him as a welcoming gift and it was also used to test his strength. But it also shows that Kai indeed have some magical potential. A normal starter could not have defeated Fiery with the mere help of the Freeze. Freeze could only have defeated Fiery only if its user has used his full potential. The next time it will not be so easy, good luck, Kai." the woman said.

"Oh, our great mistress of the night had finally returned to her true nature." said Moonie-chan. The conversation ended in the night.
