Chapter 9 Enter Kimi
By Keyblade King 12 and Card Captor Fiona
(somewhere)
"Scarlet. Wake up Scarlet." A familiar voice echoed in Scarlet's head. She slowly opened her eyes, and found herself looking at her best friend, Kimi. "Kimi? Where am I? What are you doing here?"
"Well, you're in Japan. You came here, in a flash of light. Happy Birthday, by the way did you get my present?."
"Birthday? It can't be, I've been in Konoha for about a month now, as a Cardcaptor. Unless no time passes here…" she paused when she looked at the confused look on Kimi's face
"Oh! I'm sorry Kimi, I must sound crazy right now." Kimi nodded and laughed. "It seems kinda weird considering you did appear in a flash of light near me."
Kimi shrugged and laughed again. A beautiful laugh, Scarlet thought. The Cardcaptor looked at her friend, who she hadn't seen in so long. Kimi was the same age as Scarlet but taller. She had long black wavy hair, pale creamy skin like hers and sea foam eyes, and she had the same fashion sense as Madison from the show. She was currently wearing a black Kimono style blouse with a white obi and loose black trousers, she was wearing open toed shoes like Scarlet.
"Care to enlighten me on what I've missed." Kimi asked. Scarlet drew a deep breath and began to tell Kimi about her life in Konoha, her Dad getting her the Clow cards and costumes, and Sasuke getting his curse mark. Finally, she concluded with the question "How am I supposed to get back?"
Kimi thought for a moment then snapped her fingers "I got it!, why don't you just use the Summoning Jutsu, again?"
Scarlet hugged her best friend. "That's brilliant!" Scarlet's face turned down. "I'll miss you, though."
Kimi flashed a devilish smile, like she knew something Scarlet didn't. "uh oh, I know that look. What are you plotting in that mind of yours" Scarlet asked fearfully
"You said your dad got you your cards and costumes, from a weird shop, that was gone a second later, right?" Scarlet nodded, not sure where this was going. Kimi went away for a second, returning with a trunk labelled 'Super Cool Stuff'. Kimi opened it up, Scarlet gasped, in surprise. Inside was a Mieling battle costume only it was black and white, Li's sword and five of his elemental talismans. (One for each element- Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Lightning.)
"I got these from someone like that and I think I'm supposed to come with you, and be Mrs. Shikamaru Nara." she said dreamingly Scarlet nodded and laughed. The two held hands, and Scarlet used the other to do a hand sign "Summoning Jutsu!"
Kakashi sighed as he looked at the unconscious Sasuke hoping he would be ok, but what really got him worried was Scarlet's sudden disappearance.
`now I know for a fact she hasn't made an animal pact, and it looked like she was trying to stop herself from making those hand signs earlier. So I'm guessing someone was trying to get rid of her`
He thought for a moment on who would want her gone, then it hit him `Ino and Sakura. They both hate her because Sasuke pays more attention to her than them, so Ino must've used mind transfer on her and forced her to do the hand signs . I'll deal with them later`
he was suddenly drawn to a light on the ceiling and heard two girls screaming "what the..?" he was suddenly knocked on the ground and felt a familiar weight crashing on him. He groaned in pain.
"I'm getting a sense of déjà vu here…Scarlet" he said with a slight frown on his face
"sorry Kakashi-Sensei!" she said, he sighed with relief as she rolled off him "phew, your ok. For a minute there I thought you wouldn't come back" he said while rubbing his head. He looked at the other girl beside her "who's this young lady" he said politely
"oh! This is Kimi my BFF, you see when I did that Jutsu I landed in Japan in my own world and she was with me so she told me to use the summoning Jutsu again to come back." she said in one breath. Now that shocked Kakashi but it was a god thing she came back or things would have gotton out of hand with the Clow cards or worse… a very angry Yue and Sasuke.
He picked up Sasuke and motioned the girls to follow him. Scarlet looked at her friend/crush with worrying eyes. "will he be ok?" she asked quietly, Kakashi looked at her "don't worry he'll be fine…I know you did all you could to protect him. Maybe he was meant to get this mark after all" he said mumbling the last part.
Scarlet gripped her key of Clow `it's not over yet! I will still protect you Sasuke` she promised to herself.
While the prelims were still proceeding Scarlet stayed with Sasuke while he slept soundly. He had a mask on his mouth to help him breath better and a white cloth around his eyes. Scarlet sighed and stood up `Kabuto should be coming about now, it'll be a bit different now that there are no ANBU around` she thought. She took out her sword card "sword card release and dispel" she whispered. A blue cloud surrounded her staff turning it into her grand sword of Clow.
Kabuto the silver haired sound ninja walked slowly into the room "hmph, no ANBU guards. These shinobi are very careless" he mumbled. He walked over to Sasuke and prepared to cut the tube to his air mask until he felt something cold against his neck "now I'm not very much the type to kill…but I can consider you, eh Kabuto" Scarlet whispered in his ear.
he paled a bit and stiffened at the sudden presence, but he smirked "well Card Captor Scarlet, what a surprise" he said sweetly. He felt a knife at the other side of his neck `she's really well prepared. It's like she knew I was coming`
"Wipe that smirk of your face. Your in a lot of trouble for attempting to kill Sasuke-kun" Scarlet hissed
Kabuto took the chance and elbowed the girl in the stomach and stepped away to the door but was stopped by Kakashi "your not going anywhere Kabuto" he said as he held up his kunai knife. Kabuto looked at both Scarlet and Kakashi and took the only exit he could…the window.
He jumped through it sending glass flying out and landed in the trees. Scarlet cursed under her breath "fuck we almost had him"
She was suddenly slapped across the head "watch you language Scarlet" Kakashi scolded, she rubbed her head with a frown on her face "yeah yeah yeah" she mumbled.
(with Kimi)
Before Scarlet left, Kakashi told Kimi to stay and watch the fights. She stood with a blush on her face. Yeah. Shikamaru was standing only a few paces away from her, alone. She finally plucked up the courage to talk to him so she walked over to him with a nice smile on her face.
"hi" she said sweetly. Shikamaru glanced over to the girl, his eyes widened for a brief moment. `wow` was all he could think of.
"hey! You!" Hayate's voice yelled. Kimi glanced down at him "me" she said pointing to herself "yeah, we had an odd number of candidates, there's no one to fight Kin, can you be our substitute" he asked
(A/N I'm twisting it a bit. Shika has already fought someone so make a person up)
Kimi thought for a moment `well I sure as hell don't know how to use lei's powers yet. But I guess I can use taijutsu for now, I know all her moves anyway` she nodded and made her way down.
"ok what's your name?" he asked. She smirked "Kimi Sh… just Kimi" she answered.
Hayate coughed "ok Kin. Kimi is just a sub but if you win your through to the next round but if Kimi defeats you your not through" he stated "any objections
They shook their heads. Hayate coughed again "ok then. Let the final battle begin!"
Jeez oh! Kimi's fighting already. find out if she defeats Kin after I think about how she shall fight…TUNE IN!
