THANK YOU FOR READING "THE OTHER TWIN"!!!


With a shock Kamui awoke from the darkness. "Loop!" he gasped as he fumbled to sit up. "It's Loop!"

"What do I have to do with Loop?" he heard beside him

Kamui blinked, still disorientated from sleep. "Uhm… wha? Pink?" he said confused. Where was he? He rubbed at his eyes to clear them and turned towards the voice that had just spoken. "Oh, little Sakura!" he exclaimed, remembering where he was again. "Oh, yes, the Loop card! I dreamt about a voice, which was telling me to use Loop. You have to loop me to the Dimensional Witch."

"W-witch?"

"Yes." Sensing that something was wrong, Kamui lifted a brow. "Is there something I should know?" he asked, when he saw the crestfallen look on the little girl's face.

"Y-yuuko…" the Sakura whimpered, "Ms. Yuuko… she died…"

"What? But that's…" The last time Kamui had heard about the Witch, she was still there, healthy and alive. How could she be gone now? "How did that happen?"

Sniffling, Sakura shrugged her shoulders. "We don't really know, but I think it has to do with why I gave my Star Wand to the one who looked like an older me in that dream. I have been having dreams lately; they're very vague, but I know something important is about to happen."

Kamui frowned. He too had known something big was happening at the moment. But what?

"Sakura, could you still loop me to the Witch's lair?" Kamui asked. "The Dimensional Witch may be gone, but I've still been bequeathed that dream through your Dream card. We should not waste its hard efforts to help me."

He didn't like what was going on; it seemed suspicious that the Witch had died, even though he had been told by that vision, through the influence of the Dream card, that he was to go to her. However, if he had been given this vision, then there was a purpose to it. Everything happened for a purpose after all - that had been the Witch's favourite motto.

Sakura nodded. "Alright, I'll take you to her shop." She took out the Loop card from her stack and held it up. "Are you ready?" she asked him.

He nodded. "Yes," he said and got up from her bed.

Sakura threw up her card, and swung her arms into the air, the palms of her hands facing the ceiling. "I, Sakura Kinomoto, command you, come forth Loop!"

A strange looking creature emerged from the card and made a small noise.

"Loop! please, loop my home to that of Yuuko's wish shop! My friend needs to go there, it's very important."

The creature made that same strange noise again, then swirled around in the room. The entire space became blurry for a while, and then, suddenly, there was the front door of Yuuko's shop. And at the entrance stood a boy with glasses, wearing an elaborate robe that had once been Yuuko's, smoking a pipe which had also once been Yuuko's.

"Welcome…" the boy said. "I am the successor to the Dimensional Witch Yuuko."

Sakura stared at the boy before her and frowned. "You… you look like-"

She was quickly cut off by Yue and Keroberos, who both at the same time yelled, "CLOW!!!"

The boy took off his glasses and revealed his mismatched eyes. "Once I was known under a different name, but from this moment I am Clow Reed," he said. "And you are Sakura, but you are not the same Sakura as the one I met before."

"Clow!" Yue exclaimed, "How…! But you died a long time ago! You are reborn as Eriol, aren't you?"

The boy blinked for a moment, as if not understanding, but then he sighed. "I see. Since her death, everything has started to move again, has it not? She told me that the time-space continuum has started to collapse. And if they do not succeed in defeating him, reality will soon be no more."

Kamui frowned. "Her? They? Him? That do you mean?"

"Yuuko… she told me this before her death. They are the once you have met before and will soon meet again. And he is the one who is the true cause of your grief."

"But…" said Keroberos, "you still haven't told me why you are here!"

The boy gave him an impassive look. "I know you not, yet you know me. How peculiar. Perhaps you are one of those creatures whom I will create in the future?"

"F-future?" Keroberos stuttered. "B-but… what?"

"Like I said, the time-space continuum is collapsing at this very moment. Because of that the flow of time is not like a single river anymore; the past, present and future are overlapping and blurring each other at this very moment, which is why you are able to come to this shop with Loop in the first place. In your time, my shop should not be existing anymore and I should be dead."

"Then," said Yue, "you are the Clow from the past?"

"The past for you, yes," the boy said. "The people here still know me under my real name, however." he turned his attention to Sakura. "It is best if you should stop this loop now. The reason why reality is falling apart in the first place, is because of the people who broke the natural laws of the universe."

"Uhm…" Sakura hesitated. "W-will I see you again?" she stuttered.

The boy smiled. "If we are fated to meet, then we will meet," he responded.

Sakura nodded and then smiled. "Goodbye, Mr. Clow!" she called out and she waved. Keroberos waved too, and Yue simply looked at Clow, his eyes shimmering with tears.

"Farewell Sakura… my two future creations…" the boy said. " until we meet again."

Behind Kamui the girl and two magical creatures slowly blurred together with the pink room until they faded away. "Thank you, Sakura," Kamui whispered. He wasn't sure if she had heard him. Looking up, he stared into the mismatched eye of the boy again.

"You did not belong in that future with that girl," the boy said. "I have seen you before."

"As I have you… Watanuki, isn't it?" Kamui replied.
