THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING "THE OTHER TWIN"!!! SPECIAL THANKS TO THOSE WHO REVIEWED, I APPRECIATED THEM VERY MUCH!!
Kamui felt thankful to the little Sakura. She could have refused aid, especially since she knew that he was a dangerous vampire, yet she opted to help him out. Like that other Sakura, this girl had a strong heart, growing in the right place.
The little girl went to her desk and opened a drawer. Rummaging inside for a moment, her eyes lit up as she pulled out a strange-looking book. "Look," she said, "this book was Clow's. Once upon a time, these cards inside this book were Clow cards."
She opened the book and showed Kamui the contents inside. Though, Kamui's face remained impassive, he was boiling with excitement inside. He was impressed by the enormous source of magic coming from these cards. If little Sakura controlled them, then surely she must be one of the greatest sorceress in existence in this dimension - or perhaps even in all dimensions.
"It hasn't been very long ago that I placed my own mark upon them and transformed them into Sakura cards," Sakura said. "I can still command the cards, thought it's much more difficult without the Star Wand. Because of that, I think I'll only be able to control one card at a time."
"What can these cards do?" asked Kamui curiously.
"They are creatures that live through Sakura's magic," Yue answered as he picked up a card. "Each card has a name that tells you of its ability. This one here," he showed Kamui the card, "is named Watery; she controls all water elements. Sakura feeds her magic into these cards and in return they perform their purpose."
"I see," said Kamui, "may I have a look at them?"
Nodding, little Sakura handed him the book. He took out the cards and he started shuffling through them, one by one. Most of the cards seemed silly - even worthless - in his adult mind, but he was sure that for a child a card like Sweet would have some sort of purpose. Maybe the girl had a sweet tooth? Besides, these cards actually lived, so perhaps they served to be friends for the girl?
There was only one card that actually caught Kamui's eyes. Return. He wished fervently that Subaru would return to him. Picking that card out of the group, Kamui showed it to Sakura. "Can this make anything return to you?" he asked.
"No." It was Keroberos who spoke up. As he was feeling no threat from Kamui, he reverted back to his small form. "The word 'return' is not explained that way," he elaborated, "This card allows one to return time. It allows you to go back to the past, but it does not return anything to you."
This revelation confused Kamui. "If Return allows one to go back in time then what does Time do?" he asked and he picked out that card.
"Time can freely control the flow of time. It can, for example, stop time, but the day it had made its presence known, it was repeating the day over and over again. The card had in essence created a loop in time."
"Then what about Loop?" Kamui shuffled through the cards again and picked out another.
"Oh, this one creates loops, not in time, but in space."
Kamui frowned. The cards seemed useful, but could they help him get Subaru back?
Loop could manipulate space, but he figured that he would need Subaru's location in order to create a loop in space that could lead him to his twin. And besides, he still did not have the strength to beat Seishiro in a fight. Time was probably too risky to use… messing with the flow of time could, as Keroberos said, lead to a never ending loop. While little Sakura had obviously managed to break through her loop of time, it had only been a small one that took merely a day. If the loop lasted for decades… Kamui did not want to take that responsibility. Then Return would be better. He could go back into time and save Subaru. But that wasn't right… he could not return to the future once he had performed his task. There would be two Kamui in the past and none in the future; in essence, he would be wiping himself out.
"Should I use Dream?" Sakura asked and she picked out a card from the stack.
Kamui peered at the card, before giving the girl a slightly confused look. "Dream? How can that lead me to my brother?" he asked.
"Well," said Sakura, "Dream can inspire you with visions while you sleep. Maybe it can help you save your brother."
Kamui frowned, but he nodded anyway. "I'll give it a try," he said. He decided that he had no more ideas to get to Subaru, so a vision might help him.
"Alright! Let's do this!" Sakura chirped. She threw up the card and lifted her arms up with the palms of her hand facing the ceiling. The card kept floating above her as a magical circle appeared underneath her.
"I, Sakura Kinomoto, command you, come forth Dream!"
In that moment, Kamui fell into the depths of darkness.
Where was he? Where were the girl and the two magical creatures? The cards?
You have a wish…?
He snapped his head around, but there was no one.
Come to me… use the Loop card and come to me, for I shall grant you your wish…
Did he have a wish? Yes, he wished for Subaru to come back to him, but he could not do that by himself - he needed help, someone who could grant him his wish.
There was only one person who could grant wishes… the dimensional witch.
THANK YOU FOR READING!! PLEASE REVIEW??
