Chapter 2 - Interlinked Dreams on the Battlefield.

I'll be calling Eriol's home Eriol's as Clow Reed is dead and Eriol isn't...Ah to heck with it, I hope you get it! ;)

[Chapter Begin]

Sakura tossed and turned in her sleep as she went through the most horrific nightmare she had been in awhile. "No...Come back here!" She screamed as the magical powers she had condensed her screaming to only a whimper.

Kero was floating above her and could hear her screaming. "Sakura! Talk to me!" He didn't want to disturb the gentle tranquillity of the Kinomoto Household, but the way it was going? He might have too...

(Nightmare)

Sakura jumped down onto another house roof and spun around. "There's always an explanation! What's yours!" She shouted as a boy who she couldn't see the face off collided a huge staff with her own. "No explanation?" She panted. "Then feel this!" She shouted as she forced the boy off of the roof and spun, generating her wings and flying into the air in moments.

(Eriol's Mansion)

Eriol grunted in his sleep while his two creatures looked on with worry. Both Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon were concerned - The last time Clow Reed had a dream this bad was when he engaged in a battle that almost killed him. Yet, now he was Eriol, things would get even more out of control if he wasn't careful!

"Master Eriol! Talk to us!"

Eriol felt his body begin to heat up as the focus on his training was getting way...WAY out of control! He was trying to train Sakura so she wouldn't be scared in these kinds of scenario's...But it was having the opposite effect!

The real question was:-

Why?

(Nightmare)

Eriol felt the fire build into his staff as he blew the house that Sakura had been standing on only seconds previous to pieces. Shrapnel and parts of the house flew apart - Including some that almost pierced Sakura's arms even though she was quite high up. "STOP IT!" Sakura screamed but Eriol shook his head.

Raising the staff into the air, Eriol focused some of his most strongest dark energy, firing three lasers into the skies - One of which hit Sakura dead on target.

Sakura felt her wings be torched as she fell towards the ground at high speed. "Ah...ah...ahhhhhhh!" She screeched yet just before she hit the floor she felt someone grab onto her...Someone familiar.

(Kinomoto Household)

Sakura screamed both in magic and in reality as she bolted up in bed - Only to be caught in the arms of her father. "Sakura!" She heard him shout. "Sakura! Its me, Dad, calm down, its a bad dream...That's all it was...Shhhh...Calm..."

Touya was instantly by Sakura's bed side the minute he woke up. He had been watching in the nightmare unable to leave - Something to do with that new kid at her school with Glasses. He would sit down and talk to that kid...He didn't like him already but watching what happened? Now he HATED HIM. Wanting nothing more then to rip the glasses kid's throat out and use it to paint his new bike...But that wouldn't be right so he would settle for a stern word.

Sakura was in floods of tears on the other hand. She was shaking and it really hurt Kero, the fact he couldn't move and talk to them both, he knew Touya had powers and could appear in front of him...But he wasn't sure of Fujitaka so he dare not appear in front of her Dad...Especially when he was the best one to comfort her right now.

(Eriol's Mansion)

Eriol slowly rose out of his bed and looked at his creations. "Ruby and Spinel, can I help you?"

They almost face-faulted but gained their composure. "Actually, Eriol, can we help YOU?"

Eriol shook his head. "No. It was a training exercise"

"These are getting more frequent. Try not to hurt yourself or Sakura"

Eriol nodded slowly. "I'll take that into account"

"You hurt her...Didn't you?"

Ruby looked between Spinel and Eriol as Eriol's smirk reappeared. "Maybe..." Ruby groaned. "You shouldn't be hurting her! At least hurt that Chinese Gakai first!"

Eriol slowly nodded again. "Perhaps that's an idea...Now can you two give me some room?"

"Just curious, why?"

Eriol sighed. "I need a shower after that, as you can see its morning and I don't think you'll both want to see my new body naked will you?"

"As if we didn't already" Ruby smirked and Eriol chuckled. "True, but I'm not the one who wants to have intimate relations with Touya am I?" Ruby went red. "I...Well I...SHUT UP!"

Eriol laughed as he walked towards the shower room. "I have something in mind for the future anyway...Call it a passing trial"

"We'll look forward to that"
