Reflections
"It reflects the emotions and the other personality." said a mysterious voice.
"Who are you?" asked Kai. "I will be waiting for you." replied the voice. Later Kai then realized that the voice was actually belonged to the mysterious woman in the dream he once had before he awaken Kero and scatter the Clow Cards.
Kai awaken himself from the dream and was dragged back to the reality.
"What's the time now?" Kai wondered.
"It was still early." Instead of usual, Kai found that he was punctual today.
"Good morning, Kero" Kai said.
"The sun must have risen from the west today; our great Kai was early today." Kai picked up the Azura and his bag and walked to the hallway.
"Good morning, Grandfather, Father and Mother." Kai said politely.
"Good morning, good to see you early, Kai." Mizuki Azukiya said.
"Grandpa you must consider it was a miracle seeing Kai early today." replied Kai's younger sister, Suzuka.
Kai walked into the class,
"I'm the first one today!" Kai exclaimed.
"Kai, good to see you early," Ayashi said as she walked into the class.
"Good morning, Ayashi." Kai said as he was blushing.
"Good morning, Kai." Ayashi replied with a smile.
Ayashi walked pass Kai, "This time will be tricky for you, it reflects everything including your soul." the voice sounded in Kai's brain once more.
Kai looked at Ayashi, "Did you say anything?" Kai asked Ayashi.
"Nothing," the amethyst eyed girl replied looking confused.
Class started and the words or rather the reminders the woman gave, made Kai confused as well as curious. As the school was dismissed Kai walked out of the class with his head hanging low. Ayaski and Akito followed after him.
"What's bothering you, you are not at your usual mood." Ayaski asked as he was worried about Kai.
"Is it about the cards?" Akito asked.
"You are really clever, Akito. I am worried about the reminder that a woman gave me in my dreams and I also heard it once more when I was awake in class." Kai replied.
"What sort of reminder." Akito asked.
"It reflects the emotions and personality. This time will be tricky for you; it reflects everything including your soul. Both reminders were given to me by a woman who has long hair, tall and slender body and amethyst eyes." Kai answered.
"Do you know who is she?"
"No, but Kero said that she does matches the descriptions of one of the judges of the Clow, Mistress of the Night." Kai answered.
"Mistress of the Night huh, is she powerful?" Akito asked.
"The most powerful of all among the other judges. But Kero does mention that she was also very clever, and she also had a lonely past." Kai answered again.
"Be careful, people with a sad or lonely past must have twisted personality." Akito warned.
"No, I see her in my dream once, she is really a beautiful person, but her amethyst eyes seem to be reflecting loneliness and sadness. She seems more like protecting, helping and training me than bringing me danger and harm." Kai said. The trio walked across the hallway as they ended their conversation.
Behind them was a pair of amethyst eyes looking at them, "Thank you," said Ayashi, the mistress, her voice was so faint that she herself could hear what she was saying.
"I'm home!" Kai said into his room.
"You're home Kai." replied Kero as he flew towards Kai.
"My, my, our Kai looked distraught today." Kero said in a teasing manner.
"Yes, I was." Kai replied.
"What are you worrying about?" asked Kero as he got worried.
"About the dream I had yesterday." Kai answered.
"What type of dream you had?" asked Kero.
"The Mistress of the Night seemed to be giving me some hints." Kai replied.
"What hint?" "It reflects the emotions and the other personality and it reflects everything including your soul." "The next card should be activated soon." said Kero in a serious and stern voice.
The weekend passed and nothing happened, Kai went to school as usual.
"Good morning, Ayashi" Kai greeted Ayashi as usual.
"Good morning, Kai." Ayashi said but while she was saying her next sentence, her voice was not audible. From her lips, Kai knew that she was trying to say,' be careful'. Kai walked towards his seat as Akito and Ayaski walked towards him.
"Kai, you probably think that I'm nuts, but whatever, allow me to ask you, are you in the Century Square during Saturday?" asked Ayaski.
"No, I have spent my weekend wracking my brain on those stupid mathematics and science questions." Kai replied.
"But Akito and I went to the Century Square for a walk and guess what we saw?" Ayaski asked.
"We saw you wracking and messing up the items in the bookstore." Akito replied.
"What! It can't be? I was indeed at home all the time." Kai exclaimed.
"Well then, never mind maybe we had problems with our vision." said Akito coldly. The incident and the mistress's reminders sounded in over and over again making him agitated, worried and confused. In the end, Kai decided to focus on his lesson and asked Kero what he reached home.
"Maybe the 'be careful' Ayashi murmured to me meant about this." Kai thought.
"I'm home." Kai shouted into the mansion. Kai went straight to his room after he had reached home.
"Yo! Kai you're home!" Kero exclaimed as he flew towards Kai.
"What's with your moody face?" asked Kero worriedly.
"Something's happened." Kai murmured.
"What's happened?" Kero asked.
After explaining everything, "It might probably be the work of the Clow Card." Kero explained.
"We must capture it before something else happens." Kai answered.
"If it is not, maybe your friend might have something wrong with their vision."
The next day, Kai walked into class as usual. "Excuse me, Senior Mizuki would you mind sparing me a moment?" asked a female student which he recognizes as one of his fan club girls.
"Sure," Kai replied.
"What I did not do that, why would I go around bullying young children?" Kai answered. 'I was at home all the day." he continued.
The fan club girl heaved a sigh of relief, "Glad that it wasn't you, Senior Mizuki, maybe I had something wrong with my vision."
Days after days, there were more and more rumors spreading around the school.
"What should I do?" Kai asked his friends wearily. Not long after, a tall boy looking exactly the same as Kai ran across the trio. Chasing after him were a few of Kai's female classmates.
"Mizuki-san what a terrible thing you are doing." one of the females shouted at Kai.
"What have I done again? I'm with Akito and Ayaski all the while and look; I'm still drinking my beverage!" Kai exclaimed.
"Oh was it? Then I'm sorry Mizuki-san, for mistaking you." after apologizing the females walked away.
Things had gotten much more serious, after returning home, Kai immediately explain everything to Kero once more. Kero suggested that they look around the neighborhood, as the card should be near around here. Looking rounds and rounds, Kai and Kero were exhausted.
"We found nothing after such a long time." Kai said wearily.
"Let's continue." Kero said. After a moment time, both of them sense a huge aura that was surrounding them.
"Well, I guess we could stop searching, it has come to us." Just then, a boy with azure orbs, blue hair and looking tall walked towards Kai. Looking closely, the boy was a splitting image of Kai the only difference was just that Kai was wearing Azure on his neck while the boy wasn't.
"Servant of the darkness, power of the wind and night. Your master, Kai summons you, hereby to fulfill the contract between us. AZURE, RELEASE!!" Kai commanded as Azure transform into a magical staff.
"Cards stored in the Azure, please aid me. Your master, Kai, commands you to release your power. The Fiery!" The Fiery was summoned and shot numerous arrows but it was useless none of them reached the card.
"Kai try using the Windy!" Kero shouted.
"The Windy." Kai released the Windy and the effect was still the same, neither the Windy nor Fiery managed to hurt the boy.
"Why?" Kai asked Kero.
"Just as I thought, Kai that guy was a special card. The method of capturing this card would be different. You would have to guess the true form of this card, once you're correct, that guy would automatically lose all its power and reveal its true form!" Kero exclaimed.
"The true form huh," Kai murmured. Kai stop his attacking, and closed his eyes thinking in deep thoughts.
"This card had the form which is the same as me," he thought. When Kai opened his eyes, he was surprised to see that the card was copying his actions, everything was the same.
"It reflects the emotions and the other personality. It reflects everything including your soul." the mistress's reminders echoed into Kai's ears once more.
"A card that reflects everything including my soul, emotions and personality."
"You're…" Kai saw a huge mirror with his image in it.
"You are The Mirror!" Kai exclaimed. The guy transformed into a beautiful green-haired girl, draped in a long flowing kimono holding a mirror in her hands.
"Power of the 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. The Mirror was sealed everything returned to usual.
"Kai it was clever of you to guess that it was The Mirror." said Kero as he was praising Kai.
"The mistress's reminder just echoed into my ears and the card was also helping me." Kai replied.
"Hey Kero, how does the Mistress of the Night looks like." Kai asked out of curiosity.
"She was beautiful, talented, and smart but she was also sad and lonely… By the way why are you asking this?'' Kero answered.
"I'm curious about her; I also want to thank her, every time she was protecting me, she also gave me hints." Kai said.
"Don't worry; you will meet her sooner or later. She was protecting you as she shared a mystical bond with you." Kero replied.
"Mystical bond?"
"Never mind, you will discover it yourself sooner or later." Kero answered.
"Kero was the Mistress of the Night a good mistress to you." Kai asked.
"Yes, she was indeed. She was the best mistress I ever had, she cared and worried for me. To me, she was more like a kind and caring friend. She was a responsible guardian. She was also one of the most powerful sorceresses in the universe." Kero said in a happy expression.
"I will have to buck up then," Kai answered.
"Behind her smile, her amethyst eyes reflect sadness and loneliness. That's something you don't have, Kai, an emotionless face." Kero continued in a faint voice which could only be heard by him.
"Am I really emotionless and does my eyes reflect sadness and loneliness, Kero-chan?" Ayashi said and smile in a weary grin as she was looking in the magical ring.
"That's true, Aya-chan. I have to agree with Kero-chan. When you first created us you were really emotionless, although you always smile in front of us, but you were actually sad and lonely right?" said Moonstone.
"That was true actually, I was really sad and lonely but that was in the past, you and Kero-chan really brought me a lot of joy and laughter." replied Ayashi.
"Kai had improved, he actually could guess the true form of The Mirror when I only given him some clues about it." The mistress ended the conversation with her guardian while staring into the full moon of the bright night sky.
