Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura - Nor do I own the concept of 'Magical Girls'. I just own my idea and my Original character, "Alice Suikara" whom I think will be in here soon ;) That is all. Nothing more and certainly nothing less.
Chapter 3 - A Missing Memory
The next day, Eriol had started to recover whereas Syaoran had recovered fully. Syaoran's injuries were much less severe then Eriol's - So, it fell on Kero and himself to watch over the older sorcerer/magician and make sure he recovered 100%.
Sakura skated to the Li Residence while Tomoyo went to get some more clothes. This was for the inevitable battles that they would have with this new found person. She hoped not, but you never really know, do you?
As Sakura arrived in front of the doors of the Li Residence, she saw Kero fly down to her. "Kero! Be more careful! I wouldn't want-"
Kero nodded. "Yeah, yeah, I know. Look, Eriol was talking about parts of his memory that are missing. And that perhaps he might know who attacked him after all"
Sakura's eyes widened - Finally! Some kind of knowledge about what they were facing! She nodded rapidly. "Let's go!"
Syaoran opened the door and smiled at Sakura as the sorceress walked in. "Welcome back"
Sakura smiled sweetly at him. "Thank you Syaoran. It's nice to be back" She looked around several times. "Where's Eriol?"
"Sleeping"
Sakura sighed out of frustration more then anything. "Hopefully he can get that old brain of his working again"
Syaoran chuckled as he shut the door behind his girlfriend. "Me too"
[Meanwhile - Eriol's Room]
Eriol tossed and turned in his bed as he slept - Memories shattered and scattered this way and that way. It really was a minefield that he was in...And just trying to remember the girl who attacked him was hard.
All she had said was (In the memory), "I remember you. This is in return for what you did to me"
Eriol awoke with a start and sweat poured down his face. "KYAH!"
He thought he saw someone by the window but after blinking there was no-one there...But the presence was.
Someone HAD been there...Watching him sleep...
And it wasn't a friendly presence.
[Daidouji Residence]
Tomoyo reached through many clothes and eventually found her sewing iron and relavent materials. Getting up and walking over to her sewing room, she froze as her eyes landed on someone else's standing by the window - A girl who looked no older then 15 possibly 16 years old...
After a few more seconds, Tomoyo put the clothes down and walked over to the window, opening the full balcony to see the girl standing before her. She more like floating with a broom underneath her...Which could only mean...Was she the person who attacked Eriol!?
"Who...Are you?"
The girl titled her head to the right slightly with a soft yet gentle sad smile. "My name is Alice Suikara. I am here to offer you something important"
Tomoyo rose an eyeridge and nodded slowly. "Are you the one who attacked Eriol?"
Alice sighed as she landed in front of Tomoyo. "Look, I don't just 'Attack' anyone" She used her arms for emphasis. "I simply had to remind him that-"
Tomoyo growled under her breath. Normally she wouldn't even consider attacking anyone herself...But this girl was starting to annoy her. "-I'll give you grace if you admit you attacked him out of hate - Not even Eriol can remember things THAT well"
Alice stopped in mid-motion and took in a deep breath. "If you really wanna know..." She lowered her head and mumbled something incoherently.
Tomoyo stopped with the anger and reached a hand forwards, placing it on the witch's shoulder. "Come in. I'd rather know why you did, what you did...Then watch another problem arise. Tell me, why did you hurt Eriol?"
Alice rose her head slowly. "I can't tell you. Because even if you believed me-" She winked at her. "You wouldn't remember me..."
Tomoyo sighed out. "Believe me, I know that sounds ironic, but believe me. If you had been a normal human all your life-"
She was cut off as she heard Alice giggling lightly to herself.
"What's so funny?"
Alice stopped giggling. "You're not a 'Normal' Human..." She locked her eyes with Tomoyo, "Tomoyo Daidouji"
Tomoyo's eyes widened at this. "How did...You know my..."
[Li Residence]
Sakura sat with her boyfriend in the living room as they spoke to each other about Eriol's condition.
"Something's not right with Eriol" Syaoran nodded. "It feels as though he's being hunted"
Sakura nodded. "I know, I'll go and see him...It's about time I did so" She stood up and walked towards the corridor, being followed by Syaoran.
"I'll show you the way"
Sakura smiled. "Thanks Syaoran"
Syaoran nodded. "Anytime Sakura"
[Eriol's Room]
Eriol shifted in his room, having changed his clothes and recovered 100%.
He then suddenly stopped in mid-motion. "No..." He closed his eyes and then snapped them open. "TOMOYO!" He raced to the door and swung it open.
Sakura blinked as she was stood there. "Eriol? You're okay?"
Eriol nodded. "Let's go! Tomoyo's house! Now!"
Syaoran tilted his head. "Why the rush?"
Eriol shook his head rapidly. "Tomoyo's about to be attacked! I saw a vision of the girl from yesterday! SHE'S AT TOMOYO'S!"
Sakura's eyes widened as she raced into the room where Eriol had been and to the balcony. "Come on you two!"
Eriol nodded. "I'll teleport there! You go with her Syaoran!"
Syaoran nodded. "Alright! Try not to be hurt!"
Eriol chuckled. "Charming"
Sakura nodded at Kero who had changed into his true form after she opened the balcony doors for him to fly out off. "Hurry up! She's in trouble!"
"We need to figure out-"
Sakura took no time in listening to Syaoran or Eriol as she jumped off of the balcony, using the FLY card instantly, heading directly for Tomoyo's home. She couldn't care less about who saw her now...She wanted to make sure Tomoyo was okay, that was all she needed to do.
[Meanwhile Daidouji Residence]
Tomoyo flinched as she lay on her bed, she had been injured but not physically, she had been changed...Internally.
"Now, do you see?"
Tomoyo cast her eyes to Alice and whimpered. "I can't believe you would be this horrible...I thought you-"
"Now look, I'm not the almightiest, horrible witch that you cannot trust. If it wasn't for me - Would you be able to access your magical side? Eh?"
Tomoyo shook her head. "I don't want it! I don't want it!"
Alice hummed at her in almost disapproval. "Hmmm? I thought you would want to be able to help the likes of your beloved second-cousin..."
Tomoyo's eyes widened, she couldn't mean-
"Sakura?"
Tomoyo closed her eyes. Somehow, this "Alice" had done something to her that she could only consider as horrible...She couldn't breath let alone focus on what she was meant to be doing. It felt as though she was floating in the sea of conciousness...It was hard enough to breath, so she would stick to that.
"TOMOYO!"
Tomoyo could hear Sakura's scream from where she was...
"Ah, how nice of you to join us...Sakura"
Sakura growled as she wrenched open the balcony doors with her magic. "YOU!" She stormed towards Alice but then stopped when Alice moved her hand in front of her - In effect = holding Sakura in place.
"What in?" She tried to move. "What have you done!?"
Alice smiled semi-warmly at her. "I simply helped your family relation to unlock powers of her own. You should be considering with whom that you are dealing with...I am no ordinary witch. I won't deal you a thousand curses or anything stupid. If you don't attack me that is"
Sakura frowned as all this information was going through her head. "I'd rather see you-"
Alice shook her head several times. "Tsk tsk, that won't get you anywhere"
Sakura growled as her magic was trying to get at Alice but no matter how hard she tried - Sakura was stuck in place.
Alice looked over to Tomoyo. "Looks like I'll have to end this sarade before it gets any worse..."
Alice began to walk towards Tomoyo when Eriol and Syaoran burst through the door, Eriol firing a strong blast of laser magic at her.
Alice did not have time to think as the blast connected and sent her through the wall and out into the huge Daidouji mansion's garden.
This was going to be a war...That was for sure.
