By Cod I finally updated!
Disclaimer: The day I own Card Captors, or anything related with it will also be the day that...Arnold Schwartzeneger becomes mayor of California. Wait, that's already happened...
Ah by fuck I won't ever own Card Captors.
Any original characters I make up is mine and mine only. Anybody dares...I'll do something so horrible even I don't know myself.
I also have a quizilla account, which features the exact same story. Please don't go over there and accuse me of copying from myself because it will confuse me greatly.
In this chapter, there is use of the words fuck, and shit. Oh yes and bitch. Which I didn't bother with the Japanese portions of it because I'm lazy.
"Hold the tune, cut the lights, this is it, tonight of nights. And oh what heights we'll hear, on with the show this is it!" (The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show opening, I don't own that either.)
(11) Broken.
You felt drained again, personally, you did not know why, and for some reason, you could tell that Yukito-san, Mei-Mei, Kinomoto-san, and Sakura-chan were drained as well. For some reason, you knew that they all had some inkling of what happened; it was just that they were not telling you for some reason or another. Part of you wanted to yell in indignation. How dare they treat you like this, how dare they leave you out of the loop, especially Mei-Mei, considering that she was your best friend…
But you decided to let it go. They must have their own personal reasons, even if it was irritating the hell out of you that they were doing so. Big deep breaths Himitsu-san, big deep breaths…
Sakura-chan left when the four of you reached your classroom, the running footsteps pounding away in an accelerando. You rubbed your knuckles against your temples, and pushed a certain soft spot in your eye socket, feeling your headache go away temporarily. You could tell that this was going to be another long day.
You drifted in and out of sleep, and unluckily for you, both Hirotomi and Hiro-sensei had caught you. Earning you a half-hour detention after school since that was apparently how long you had slept. At that moment you had wished that like Mei-Mei, you had mastered the art of sleeping with your eyes open (having done so since she was the smartest dumb slacker you knew). Right now, you were counting down the minutes until detention was over. Currently, there were ten minutes left, and you were stuck on an English problem.
"Wood yo ew car rye the boo kay foh your me?" you slowly pronounced.
"Actually O-nay-jiang, it's: Would you carry the book for me?" arching your neck over the book, you saw Mei-Mei leaning up against the door in a laid-back fashion. Your face crinkled in annoyance while Mei-Mei simply said, "Yeah I know, English's a bitch."
You snorted before you laughed and you packed away your things, hopefully your homework will be finished when you got home. Hopefully.
Spinning around in a circle, you flung your arms out wide and began singing with soft crystal clarity. Your voice echoed eerily across the school grounds while Mei-Mei-san smiled softly at your open attitude. To be honest, it is nice to see your tree bud with flowers…
Needless to say, the rest of the day passed by without much incident, except that once again, both your mother and father were absent on a business trip or meeting with friends. You honestly wondered why your father put up with your mother's beeswax. Actually at the moment, you were fed up with both. Why were they never at home with you? Your anger bubbled near the pit of your stomach, while you took deep calming breaths. Relax, relax, you were telling yourself over and over again.
The sake bottle was drained when the night was done.
(A few weeks later.)
You awoke to the sound of familiar screaming. Eyes snapping open, you threw off the covers of your bed and crept towards your door, just in case your parents had somehow managed to come home in the evening. They were not home yet, and you thundered down the stairs, distractedly grabbing a light jacket, while you dashed out the door. Flying down the streets, weaving through alleys, you could hear the sound of the screaming getting closer and closer, but it seemed to be moving…
Whipping your head around, you heard the scream coming behind you, and you ran towards that direction, but realized that the voice was coming closer and moving further away at the same time. Taking the time to gather your bearings, the scream flew even further away.
"Mou wakaranai yo," you mumbled to yourself, while you dashed off towards the sound of the screaming once again. You headed toward your school; the sound was coming closer now…
It seemed to be in worse for wear. There was loose rubble everywhere, and there were giant craters in the structure, and it appeared as though the structural integrity of the school was in question. Amidst this, you could hear an angst-filled scream while even larger parts of the school were blasted off.
"I HATE THIS!" a familiar voice yelled while another portion of the school was blasted off of its hinges.
You crept forwards as silently as possible while avoiding all the falling loose rubble and dangerous shards of glass. Why were you approaching this…person? Why were you bothering to come closer in order to calm her down? Turning around a corner, you saw what was responsible for all the havoc.
A single figure, with wings and ears as black as space, while the fur on the tail stuck out as if it had just been stepped on, was demolishing the building for its own pent-up frustration. It was so familiar, why…?
You had jumped away before you could comprehend why. Turning around, you saw another oddly familiar silver-head before you jumped back avoiding the onslaught from the person's ridiculously over-sized fan. Rolling away from the person's second fan, you used the momentum of the roll to go towards the person and pounce on them, then pinning her onto the ground. You threw a glare at the oddly-silver-haired girl before your ears pricked up at the sound of wind rushing, rolling out of the way, the cat-angel collided with silver-hair before rolling off weakly and asking, "How did you find us Hana-des?"
"No you answer me," where had this voice come from within you? "What has been happening to me? And don't lie you dirty frogs, I know you're involved somehow, just…FREAKING tell me what in the name of hell has been going on!" you half-screamed to the damaged duo.
In the blink of an eye, you were tied down to the ground with purple wires and a surprisingly sharp edge of the golden paper fan was held to your throat. Blinking, your eyes met the half-dead violet eyes of the silver-haired one, but underneath the veil of apathy was a smouldering cauldron of anger.
"Don't tell us what to do," she stated in a lofty but even voice before a familiar sensation of being struck across the head invaded. Fighting to stay conscious, the two discussed whether or not they should erase your memory, before deciding not to since the blow would probably cover this event for them.
"Man, she is going to loose so many brain cells until Master's done with her."
"No she isn't Ume, she isn't entirely human."
You wanted to ask her what she meant by that statement before you drifted into the welcoming darkness that awaited you.
(Sakura's P.O.V)
"Sakura I sense something," Syaoran-san testified suddenly while Sakura glanced at him with knotted eyebrows.
"Really?" she asked in astonishment while a sweat-drop appeared on her head. "I don't sense anything at all."
He let out a noise of disbelief before banging his head at the table they were sitting at and muttering quite vehemently under his breath. Sakura blinked at his reaction before he raised his head and shouted, "You're the most powerful magician in the world, and you STILL can't sense things?"
"Hey, it's not my fault! Well…maybe it is but-!"
"Oi kozo!" Kero-chan shouted while popping out from Sakura's hood. "Stop arguing and let's go!"
Hastily with Tomoyo, Sakura, Kero, and lastly Syaoran, dashed behind the café, into a small alley where only a dumpster for company. Fumbling with excitement, Tomoyo-chan quickly undid the straps of her bag and magically pulled out a digital camera. The joy was so evident it was as if someone had taken a permanent marker and wrote the word glee across her pale porcelain face.
Acting quickly, the magical girl twirled her star staff and cast the Sleep, the town quickly fell into a slumber while Sakura winced. Reassuring her friends' worries, and mentally brushing it off as nothing, she quickly summoned fly for her two non-winged friends and the four of them flew quickly and briskly towards the sign of danger. Though this time, even Sakura could see where the chaos was coming from.
By simply following the line of destruction.
"I must make it there, I must," was the only thing running through her mind while she sprinted the last few metres toward the high school. "It seems as if I've been coming here for quite some time now…"
A black blast of energy appeared in the middle of the three friends, while the each of them went flying off into three different directions. All of the acting quickly, Syaoran summoned his sword and thrust it into the ground to steady himself while he slid a few metres from his landing spot. Sakura summoned The Flower to soften her rather loud landing, while Keroberos was howling painfully because Tomoyo had grabbed onto his tail for leverage (while somehow managing to look immaculate and with the video camera glued to her eye).
"By fucking hell!" a high-pitched voice screamed while more debris of the school fell from the school and each of them ducked out of the way in time. "I hate this! I take the backseat, EVERYTIME, just because I fucking screwed up ONCE! Then she has to go rub it in my face, and plus she's always showing up, and-and, I have to erase her memory and-"
The blathering of bothers was cut off suddenly by a banshee-like wail, while a crater exploded onto the soccer field. Once again, the debris of the wreckage floated in mid-air before they started to move and swirl. Luckily, Sakura managed to summon The Protect before it escalated into the blinding sandstorm as it did when these two had first met. Thinking fast, Sakura summoned The Time quickly, making everything but her friends freeze and discolour into an old faded photograph, and make the features of Ume seem almost demonic. Cautiously approaching the figure in the sky (by using The Fly card), Sakura sympathized with the agony and frustration that was clearly etched into the figure's face. A slight pull in her sixth sense made her notice The Hope in her pocket.
"Hope!" Sakura yelled while raising her staff above her head. Instantly, the form of the magnificent being Sakura saw before she sealed the card away appeared and gracefully made its way over to the cat-angel. It did not do much, all it did was kiss Ume softly between its pointed ears, before it dissipated and reassembled itself back into a card. With the card floating towards her, Sakura sensed a strange presence behind her…
"Shot!" she cried while twirling around to meet her attacker, whom merely flicked off Shot as if it were a fly. A soft clink could be heard while the silver-haired figure leisurely strolled towards Sakura on her brittle clouds.
"Thank you," it stated while something unreadable lay behind the curtained eyes. Walking sombrely over towards her partner, Umeko placed her hands on some invisible object, before a red bubble started to form underneath her hands. The bubble expanded, and then engulfed the hysterical cat-angel whom became coloured in the same tint. Umeko reached up and pulled a tiny pin from her hair before popping the bubble. Her partner let out a harsh rasp before coughing.
"Did you have to fucking do that Umeko?" she panted. "I almost fucking died you fucking idiot! Oh yes, and thank you little Sakura-chan."
Sakura blinked at this complete one eighty change in mood.
"The perfect person would probably stay around and try to help you clean up the mess I made, however…"
"We aren't human," Umeko interjected while she flung her pin at Sakura.
"Element, Fire! Come to my aid!"
The blast of fire disintegrated the pin, and nearly burnt Umeko's hand, while Keroberos tackled Ume from the side.
"Yara, yara," Umeko said with the tiniest hint of mischief dancing in her eyes. "It seems that we are tackling more people than usual…"
"Hell yeah! And I'll be sure to take every single advantage of it!" came Ume's enthusiastic response while purple orbs appeared beneath her hands. She threw one towards Syaoran who tried to cut through it with his sword, but the orb ended up exploding into wires and ropes that bound Syaoran tightly.
Sakura did not have time to see what happened to Keroberos seeing as Umeko swiped at Sakura with her giant gold fan. When Sakura turned around to face her properly, Umeko was in a fighting stance, with one fan open for defence, the other closed for attack. Giving her a lopsided smirk, Umeko then went on the offensive. A whirlwind of swipes, jabs, while gold paper winked and blinked at Sakura all at the same time. As you can probably imagine, Sakura was overwhelmed by this display of martial arts, and was barely able to dodge let alone keep up. She was almost smacked across the face by one of Umeko's giant fan had she not raised her staff up in time. Flying across the air, and nearly plummeting into the ground, Sakura quickly fused The Fight and The Fly together to create a humanoid being similar to Yue.
With its intense gaze, The Fight charged head on towards Umeko and…well fought, well…sort of. It was more like The Fight charged towards Umeko and Umeko smacked it sideways with her glowing red fan. The Fight, and The Fly separated, and Umeko hastily ran forward on her brittle clouds, before delivering a knock-out blow that sent The Fly falling down, down towards the ground. The two sentient beings flew towards the falling form of the card, and unexpectedly, Ume bound her with her purple wires while Umeko made a green rectangle underneath them and forcibly shoved the fight into it. A muted wailing cry emerged from the card before it was silenced and changed into the mockery of the card it was before.
Smiling to themselves, as if they had done a job well done, the two of them turned their attention toward Sakura, Keroberos, and Syaoran who had finally managed to escape the bonds Ume had placed upon him. The two sides prepared to attack before their images started to surge and fade a little.
"Shit," Ume swore, before she summoned more wires and wrapped them around somebody, somebody familiar to Sakura…
"Hanayaru-san!" she exclaimed upon realization, but it was too late, Hanayaru was sucked into the black whirlpool Ume and Umeko used to disappear.
Looking around, Sakura realized that she could not leave the school in such a state, many questions would be asked, and quite possibly, the trail would lead to her.
She thought of turning back time in order to restore the school, but then she thought that Ume would just come around to wreck it again, only resulting in a loop of never-ending destruction.
Closing her eyes in concentration, and with much effort on her part, she slowly pieced together the pieces of the school…the end result was a new card named The Repair.
(Hanayaru's P.O.V)
You groaned while you slowly sat up in your bed rubbing your temples. It felt as if some hundred kilogram elephant was sitting upon your head right now. Tiredly you tried to remember what had happened with your slightly hung-over self. You had been drinking again to forget your troubles, problem was, your excessively drinking was probably causing you more problems then letting you forget…
A pair of deadly red eyes, and a pair of light purple ones flashed in your minds eye. Slowly, you started to remember the forms that those eyes belonged to. You smiled to yourself. You finally had one piece of the puzzle you desperately wanted to solve.
Ha! I love butchering the English language! It was so hard for me to learn, hell, I'm still learning.
Mou wakaranai yo I don't know anymore or just I don't know. I don't want to watch the entire video again to get the exact meaning. (Moe wakara nai - e yo)
Yara yara Something along the lines of, "My, my..."
Credits: Dirty frogs was something my chemistry teacher used to call us when she was pissed off.
Yeah...I used the English incantation for Syaoran's thingy...I thought that since I already used Sakura's English incantation, I would use Syaoran's for consistency. Don't worry, I won't try to pretend that there weren't any relationships at all...I'll keep them there, except I'll add my flavour into it...tee hee...
And I realized in the last chapter there were no real hard Japanese terms...I've used them before. Bleh...
Ciao!
