8 Feathers
Chapter 2
Yawn.. Princess Sakura woke up and got into her purple dress. She walked down the stairs and saw Tomoyo already up and eating breakfast.
"You're finally up," said Tomoyo giggling.
"Sorry, you know I over sleep a lot," Sakura replied.
"Good morning Mom, good morning dad," Sakura said to her parents.
"Are you both ready to go to the Li Kingdom?" King Fujitaka asked.
"Hai, we're going to ride on Kotori and Jade," Tomoyo answered.
"We'll be back Mom, I promise," Sakura said comforting her mom.
"Yes, I know you will, but just be careful on your trip," Queen Nadeshiko said.
"Mom, I have been on other dangerous missions before with Tomoyo, and we didn't get hurt at all," Sakura told her mom. Queen Nadeshiko smiled.
"I think we should go now Sakura," Tomoyo whispered.
"Sure," whispered Sakura. "Well, we are going back up stairs to get our stuff, then we'll take off up in the Dragon Hold okay?" Sakura asked.
"Okay, off you two go now," King Fujitaka replied.
"Bye!" all of them said in unison.
"Hey, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.
"Yes?" Tomoyo said.
"Who do you think we will travel with?" Sakura asked curiously.
"I don't really know, but maybe we can try our magic," Tomoyo replied.
"I don't think so Tomoyo, we need to save our magic for our mission," Sakura dully.
"That's true… Any way, are you ready?" replied Tomoyo in delight.
"Yeah!!" Sakura exclaimed. "Ready Kotori/Jade?" both Sakura and Tomoyo asked? Both dragons nodded their heads. "Let's Go!!!!" Sakura cried.
Inside the battle arena
"Hey Eriol, when are they going to get here?" Syaoran asked impatiently. Just then, two girls walked in escorted by a guard into Queen Yelan's room.
"Who are they?" said a confused Syaoran.
"You'll see soon my cute little descendant," Eriol replied with a mysterious grin.
BAMM!!!! Syaoran just punched Eriol in the stomach.
"Ow! What was that for!?" said an injured Eriol.
"That, was for calling me your cutelittle descendant," said a very pissed off Syaoran.
"Sheesh, what's his problem? And who were those girls? We don't have anyone meeting us today except for the people who we are helping for the mission… Could it be those girls? Nah… Boys are suited for this job, not girls. I'm sure mom just invited them over for tea or something…" Syaoran thought.
Meanwhile in Queen Yelan's room
"How will our dragons travel with us?" asked Tomoyo.
"Well…. I'll give you two a magical orb that can store your dragons inside as well as other creatures, and they won't get hungry in there either so you don't have to worry about meat," Queen Yelan smiled.
"Awesome!" Sakura squealed.
"Well now are you two ready to meet our partners?" Queen Yelan asked.
"Sure!" both girls agreed.
"Guards, please, escort them in," Queen Yelan ordered.
"Yes, your highness," replied two guards.
Outside in the Li Kingdom's Battle Arena
"I summon the Water Dragon!" Syaoran shouted.
"That won't work unless I counter it with Firey!" Eriol roared over the loudness.
The attacked evaporated all the water creating mist. Then, Meiling and the two guards appeared once again through the door.
"In the middle of the battle again!! What does Mom want NOW?" screamed a very angry Syaoran.
"Well, for your information, your mom wants you both to meet your new partners in her room," Meiling said with a tint of anger.
"Please, tell her we will be right there," Eriol smiled.
"We're finally going to meet them," said Syaoran happily.
"I'm not sure you'll like them though.." thoughtEriol
"Hey Eriol, what are you thinking about?" Syaoran asked.
"N-nothing, nothing at all," Eriol replied.
"Weirdo," said Syaoran while pushing open the door.
"Syaoran my dear, meet your new partners!" Queen Yelan said.
"Uh, Mom, all I see are girls. Where are our partners?" Syaoran asked.
"WHAT!!! Those two are our partners? Those two guys are our partners?" yelled Sakura.
"Yes, they are your partners and please, keep your voice down," Queen Yelan said.
One girl and one boy were very angry, but the other two were not.
"Where's Touya when you need him?" whispered Sakura.
"Um… Sakura," Tomoyo said.
" What?" Sakura replied.
"Um, Touya's right behind you," Tomoyo whispered.
"Huh? GAH!!! Don't scare me like that Onii-chan!" Sakura screamed, then stomped on his left foot really hard.
"Ow!! That hurts kiijuu!" Touya complained painfully.
"And for calling me kiijuu…" Sakura scowled, then stomping on Touya's right foot. Touya tried not to let the pain go out, but then failed.
"AH!!!!!!! You will pay for that!!!" Touya yelled angrily.
"Oh, I'm so scared," Sakura sarcastically said. Sakura and Touya chased each other all over the room while Syaoran and Eriol were dotted eyed, while Tomoyo was giggling and Queen Yelan sighing.
Queen Yelan's thought, "They told me this might happen..."
"That's enough!!! You four will stay together and there is nothing you can do to change this. Touya, I know you will be mad, but they will stay together as a team!" shrieked Queen Yelan.
Everyone in the kingdom was frighten by Queen Yelan's sudden uproar.
"U-um.. When will we be leaving?" Syaoran stuttered, terrified.
Queen Yelan's mood suddenly turned from angry to excited. "Your mission starts right after I give you four the pet that allows the ability to send you to different dimensions!" said Queen Yelan cheerfully.
"All right!!" cried both Sakura and Tomoyo.
"And here it is!!" Queen Yelan said happily.
It was a small tabby cat kitten…
"KAWAII!!!" screamed Sakura, Tomoyo and Meling.
"You girls can scream all you want, but I'm going to name it," Eriol said.
"I advise you don't let Eriol name it," said Syaoran.
"Ahem. Syaoran, Eriol, let the girls name it, and the kitten is a girl." Queen Yelan corrected. "Oh and Touya, your father and mother want you home right now," Queen Yelan said unexpectedly.
"What? I'm going to have to let you go so consider you lucky right now Syaoran," glared Touya.
"Like I'm afraid of you," scoffed Syaoran.
Touya's eye's shot daggers at Syaoran and it hit it's mark.
"Y-yes sir," said Syaoran trembling.
"Hahahaha!!" Sakura laughed so hard it made her cry. "You should have seen the look on your face!!" cried Sakura.
Syaoran started to turn red. Meling surprisingly pushed Syaoran to the ground and Eriol then followed up with by stepping on Syaoran's back.
"Hey Sakura! Melin! Lets name the kitten Kirara," Tomoyo called out to the girls.
They automatically said, "Great!" and started to play with Kirara.
"Girls…" Thought Syaoran and Eriol shaking their heads.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I suggest you pack up and head out the door right now. Oh, and don't forget pack for little Kirara too," Queen Yelan said while kicking them out the door.
"Excuse me Queen Yelan, but I need to ask, will we know where this cute kitten will drop us off?" Eriol asked politely.
"Well, we don't really have a way to tell, and she might send you to a place you've all been to before just in different times," Queen Yelan explained.
"We'll be on our way now Mother," Syaoran said eagerly.
"Also, you all must remember this, it was spoken by someone very powerful named Clow Reed, 'There is no such thing as a coincidence'," Queen Yelan said, quoting Clow Reed.
Sakura then gasped very loudly and every one turn to her.
"What's wrong?" Tomoyo asked, looking concerned.
"Nothing really, it's just that I heard that before when Clow Reed was talking to me," Sakura replied quietly.
"How do you about Clow Reed?" asked Queen Yelan, Prince Syaoran and Meling.
"Whoops. Um, please excuse me, I'll be right back. Tomoyo I need you to come with me," Sakura said nervously.
Quickly both girls rushed into a room with nobody occupying it.
"Kero-chan, you can come out now," said Sakura as quietly as she could.
"Mmm, what do you want from me?" asked a really sleepy Kero. He wasn't completely awake, but then he sensed Clow Reed's presence and awoke surprised.
"Sakura! Don't you know that presence? It's Clow Reed! Along with other people..." Kero said loudly.
"Quiet Kero-chan! What do you mean by Clow Reed's presence? I can't sense anything!" Sakura yelled in a whisper.
"Well since Clow Reed is very strong, he can conceal his aura to anyone he wants," Kero explained.
"Nothing less from the famous Kero-chan!" Tomoyo perked.
"Why thank you Tomoyo, at least someone cares about me," said Kero.
"Cool, I might be able to do that someday," said Sakura in amazement.
"Oh yeah, Kero-chan; Queen Yelan, Syaoran, and Meling are wondering why I know about Clow Reed. Should I tell them the truth or should I just tell them something else?" Sakura asked impatiently.
"That name seems familiar. Let's see… The Li family inherited some magic from Clow Reed so I think that's why they are surprised. And yes, you should tell them about the now called Sakura Cards," replied Kero.
"No! Say no more about our past. It's makes me sad that I can't make Sakura anymore clothes and capture her beauty in my eyes," said Tomoyo sadly.
Both Sakura and Kero sweat dropped. "Do I tell about them you too Kero?" Sakura asked.
"Sure! Maybe these people will praise me highly," said a day dreaming Kero.
"Okay then, get back in my sack until I tell you to come out," Sakura said.
"Okay!" Kero obeyed still day dreaming.
"Let's go Tomoyo!" said Sakura cheerfully.
