rlm@2

14 I do not own Card Captor Sakura. CLAMP does! Other companies do! However, I used
|
|
rlm@2
|
15 their characters and ideas without permission. Still, this is just for fun, and
|
|
rlm@2
|
16 I'm not capitalizing on this, so please, don't sue me! X_x
|
|
rlm@2
|
17 Be forewarned: This tale doesn't contain explicit yuri scenes, but it's a
|
|
rlm@2
|
18 shôjo-ai story nonetheless (love between girls). Enjoy!

rlm@2
|
28 from POVs from time to time... The story needs it ^^ It's really annoying (and
|
|
rlm@2
|
29 shows my lack of good writing skills XD)... but I can't figure any other way of
|

rlm@2

43 Sakura stood alert in the middle of the park. It looked like the card would stay
|
|
rlm@2
|
44 hidden. She stood there for a long time, until that happened. I threw my video
|
|
rlm@2
|
45 camera to the hard cobblestones of the park. My head started to feel weird and I
|
|
rlm@2
|
46 heard this weird voice on my sub-conciousness. A cold feeling started to wrap my
|
|
rlm@2
|
47 body. I was very dizzy and couldn't even move. I panicked!
|
|
rlm@2
|
48
|
|
rlm@2
|
49 "Oh no! This can't be!" I thought. "If this card controls me... No! I can't bear
|
|
rlm@2
|
50 the idea of hurting Sakura-chan!
|
|
rlm@2
|
51
|
|
rlm@2
|
52 I was still concious of my actions. However, some unknown force thwarted my free
|
|
rlm@2
|
53 will. I was possesed. I couldn't decide what to do. My body started to obey the
|
|
rlm@2
|
54 commands of this evil Clow Card and move on it's own. I started to get very
|
|
rlm@2
|
55 worried about Sakura. I didn't care about me... I just wanted to protect
|
|
rlm@2
|
56 Sakura-chan!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
57
|
|
rlm@2
|
58 "Look Sakura!" Kero yelled. Sakura inmediately noticed something was wrong with
|
|
rlm@2
|
59 me.
|
|
rlm@2
|
60 "Sa.. Sakura!" I don't know how I managed to say that. My whole body felt like
|
|
rlm@2
|
61 a eight ton rock. Perhaps my love for her made me stronger. "R... RUN AND BE
|
|
rlm@2
|
62 SAFE!!!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
63
|
|
rlm@2
|
64 Sakura shocked at the sight! Oh, God... Poor Sakura! I felt horrible. Only a few
|
|
rlm@2
|
65 hours ago the incident with Naoko-chan... and now I was the root of her
|
|
rlm@2
|
66 uneasyness.
|
|
rlm@2
|
67
|
|
rlm@2
|
68 "I can't!" She cried. "I CAN'T LEAVE YOU, TOMOYO-CHAN!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
69
|
|
rlm@2
|
70 I noticed some tears started to run down her rosy cheeks. I wanted to cry too,
|
|
rlm@2
|
71 but my eyes were dry and hard... I could barely feel them. I started to feel a
|
|
rlm@2
|
72 great pain in my whole body. My mind was trying to resist to the attempts of the
|
|
rlm@2
|
73 wretched Clow Card, but it was all in vain. After a while of futile resistence,
|
|
rlm@2
|
74 The Control finally took charge of me.
|
|
rlm@2
|
75
|
|
rlm@2
|
76 I started to run towards Sakura-chan. Now my real self couldn't do a thing. I
|
|
rlm@2
|
77 still felt the inmense pain... My soul was crying. I was very worried for
|
|
rlm@2
|
78 Sakura. Sakura stood still, waiting for me. I tackled her very hardly and she
|
|
rlm@2
|
79 flew away. My strenght was also boosted due to the magic effects of this Clow
|
|
rlm@2
|
80 Card. I couldn't believe I was the one harming Sakura. I noticed how she rolled
|
|
rlm@2
|
81 on the cold cobblestone floor of the park plaza, and the skin of her knees
|
|
rlm@2
|
82 scratched. It was unbearable for me. I was fighting with Sakura-chan. The
|
|
rlm@2
|
83 feeling of pain grew even bigger than before.
|
|
rlm@2
|
84
|
|
rlm@2
|
85 "SAKURA!!!" I cried louder than ever. The tears began falling. "PLEASE! RUN
|
|
rlm@2
|
86 AWAY!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
87 "NO!" She said gasping. I could feel the pain she was feeling. "I WON'T LEAVE
|
|
rlm@2
|
88 YOU TOMOYO-CHAN! I'm responsible for what happened to Naoko-chan, AND I'M NOT
|
|
rlm@2
|
89 GOING TO LEAVE YOU!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
90
|
|
rlm@2
|
91 Sakura got up once again. She started to tremble. Little droplets of blood were
|
|
rlm@2
|
92 dripping from the tears of her skin. I won't be able to forgive myself! I know
|
|
rlm@2
|
93 it's not my fault! I'm being controlled by the card, but... Now it was really
|
|
rlm@2
|
94 overwhelming. The pain grew even more... And I lost it... The pain was gone, and
|
|
rlm@2
|
95 I saw only black. Cold and lonely black...
|
|
rlm@2
|
96
|
|
rlm@2
|
97
|
|
rlm@2
|
98 "Sakura! You need to seal the force first!" Kero said to Sakura.
|
|
rlm@2
|
99 "How on earth can I do that?" Sakura yelled. "I don't have the slightest idea on
|
|
rlm@2
|
100 how can I free Tomoyo from the influence of the magic energy.
|
|
rlm@2
|
101 "You DON'T need to free her at all..." Kero mumbled. "You must think of a way to
|
|
rlm@2
|
102 get The Control out of her. That's the only way.
|
|
rlm@2
|
103 "Hoe!" Sakura started to cry once again.
|
|
rlm@2
|
104 "Don't be such a crybaby!" Kero said. "Remember what Tomoyo said!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
105
|
|
rlm@2
|
106 Sakura's eyes were wide open. She started to remeber what Tomoyo-chan said
|
|
rlm@2
|
107 earlier. She remembered that she promised to be a courageous Card Captor. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
108 needed to regain that confidence, and she needed it back fast.
|
|
rlm@2
|
109
|
|
rlm@2
|
110 "I know. I'm sure I'll find a way to free Tomoyo from the card! I MUST SAVE MY
|
|
rlm@2
|
111 DEAR TOMOYO!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
112
|
|
rlm@2
|
113
|
|
rlm@2
|
114 Tomoyo let a scream. Maybe it was from the unbearable pain she felt. The fact
|
|
rlm@2
|
115 was that her face changed. Her gaze was different... She looked evil. Sakura
|
|
rlm@2
|
116 noticed this. She got ready for an inminent attack. But to her surprise it
|
|
rlm@2
|
117 wasn't a physical attack. Tomoyo started to levitate. She rose from the soil
|
|
rlm@2
|
118 until she reached about two meters. Then she stopped.
|
|
rlm@2
|
119
|
|
rlm@2
|
120 "Hoe! What's happening!?" Sakura was puzzled.
|
|
rlm@2
|
121 "This is not right! This card isn't wild!" Kero was very worried.
|
|
rlm@2
|
122 "NANI?" Sakura cried out.
|
|
rlm@2
|
123 "This is planned... The Control couldn't manage to prepare something like this
|
|
rlm@2
|
124 on her own..." Kero said, thinking about it...
|
|
rlm@2
|
125 "I don't get it!" Sakura said in a deep confusion.
|
|
rlm@2
|
126 "I mean that this card is already working for someone... There is another Card
|
|
rlm@2
|
127 Captor near here. I can feel a great mana presence."
|
|
rlm@2
|
128
|
|
rlm@2
|
129
|
|
rlm@2
|
130 In fact Kerberos was right. Mana, the magical force that maintains the delicate
|
|
rlm@2
|
131 equilibrium of the world, was showing it's presence there. Suddenly, Tomoyo-chan
|
|
rlm@2
|
132 started to glow, and a magic emblem appeared on the cold floor, directly under
|
|
rlm@2
|
133 her feet. I was very complex and featured a lot of details and inscriptions in
|
|
rlm@2
|
134 the ancient language of the magi.
|
|
rlm@2
|
135
|
|
rlm@2
|
136 "Masaka!!" Kero was shocked.
|
|
rlm@2
|
137 Sakura was too worried and perplexed to even try to say something. Her mouth was
|
|
rlm@2
|
138 opened. She was too confused.
|
|
rlm@2
|
139 "What do I need to do?" She cried.
|
|
rlm@2
|
140 "I don't know Sakura!" chuckled Kero, not believing the great amount of magical
|
|
rlm@2
|
141 energy he felt. "The Control must be somewhere. Maybe if you try hitting her..."
|
|
rlm@2
|
142 "But where is she!!! WHERE IS SHE!!!" Sakura cried harder.
|
|
rlm@2
|
143
|
|
rlm@2
|
144
|
|
rlm@2
|
145 The strange Tomoyo was still floating at a couple of meters from the soil. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
146 opened her eyes and looked directly at Sakura-chan. Her gaze was evil and
|
|
rlm@2
|
147 lifeless. She looked like she was dead. This new vision of horror was all that
|
|
rlm@2
|
148 Sakura needed to lose it. She fainted.
|
|
rlm@2
|
149
|
|
rlm@2
|
150 "SAKURA-CHAN!!!" Kero screamed when she saw Sakura falling to the ground.
|
|
rlm@2
|
151
|
|
rlm@2
|
152 Kerberos got near Sakura. She didn't move. Her eyes were completely closed. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
153 was only breathing, but if she didn't wake up soon, Tomoyo would kill her. The
|
|
rlm@2
|
154 possesed Tomoyo closed her eyes once again. She extended her right arm, and
|
|
rlm@2
|
155 opened her hand. The palm of her hand started to emit a light green glow, and a
|
|
rlm@2
|
156 little version of the powerful magical emblem appeared on the pale skin of her
|
|
rlm@2
|
157 palm. A bigger one appeared around her wrist and this one started to spin
|
|
rlm@2
|
158 slowly. It was a morbid spectacle of deadly magic. The light began to
|
|
rlm@2
|
159 concentrate on a little sphere on Tomoyo's hand, and this little orb of mana
|
|
rlm@2
|
160 began to grow. It's green light was very bright. Tomoyo was ready to strike
|
|
rlm@2
|
161 Sakura with the spell anytime soon...
|
|
rlm@2
|
162
|
|
rlm@2
|
163 "SAKURA!!" Kero cried out loud. "YOU MUST WAKE UP!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
164 Sakura didn't move, and Tomoyo was ready to throw the ball of magic at them.
|
|
rlm@2
|
165 "So this is it..." Kero said softly, waiting for the strike.
|
|
rlm@2
|
166
|
|
rlm@2
|
167 Tomoyo opened her eyes. She had a smirk painted on her devil-like child face.
|
|
rlm@2
|
168 She laughed and said with an out-of-this-world voice:
|
|
rlm@2
|
169
|
|
rlm@2
|
170 "Rokushô Tama!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
171
|
|
rlm@2
|
172 The sphere of green light popped up a bit and the started to fly down at Sakura
|
|
rlm@2
|
173 at an unbelievable speed. Kero thought this was their end, but..
|
|
rlm@2
|
174
|
|
rlm@2
|
175 "God of thunder!!" said a familiar voice from behind.
|
|
rlm@2
|
176
|
|
rlm@2
|
177 A thunder came darting from behind. The sparks impacted the sphere of green
|
|
rlm@2
|
178 energy. The orb was deflected and it impacted right behind Tomoyo-chan. It
|
|
rlm@2
|
179 exploded on a big cloud of green mist and energy. It almost looked like hot,
|
|
rlm@2
|
180 burning plasma.
|
|
rlm@2
|
181
|
|
rlm@2
|
182
|
|
rlm@2
|
183 Li Syaoran made it right in time. If he were a minute later, sakura would've...
|
|
rlm@2
|
184 At any rate, all was over, or at least for now. The Control lied there on the
|
|
rlm@2
|
185 floor. A few meters from her lied Tomoyo's body. Kero noticed Li was there.
|
|
rlm@2
|
186
|
|
rlm@2
|
187 "You've come at the perfect time, brat." he said at Li.
|
|
rlm@2
|
188 "Watch you tongue, asshole..." Li said.
|
|
rlm@2
|
189 Kero was really angry. "Tonikaku, help me with Sakura."
|
|
rlm@2
|
190
|
|
rlm@2
|
191 Li leaned to see Sakura. She was all right, and she slowly opened her eyes.
|
|
rlm@2
|
192
|
|
rlm@2
|
193 "What happened?.." she asked Li, slowly getting on her knees.
|
|
rlm@2
|
194 "It's over... The card is defeated. Now you must seal it..." Li said, blushing
|
|
rlm@2
|
195 a little. He was starting to feel uneasy whenever he was near Sakura-chan. "You
|
|
rlm@2
|
196 must do it quickly Sakura..."
|
|
rlm@2
|
197 "What about Tomoyo?" Sakura's eyes openened more. "IS SHE OKAY?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
198 Li nodded and pointed to where Tomoyo was lying. Sakura was overjoyed and a few
|
|
rlm@2
|
199 tears of happiness escaped from her eyes. "Oh, thank you god..."
|
|
rlm@2
|
200 Sakura began to run to Tomoyo, but Li moved his arm and grabbed hers. "Daijôbu,
|
|
rlm@2
|
201 Sakura-chan?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
202 "Hai!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
203
|
|
rlm@2
|
204 Sakura ran as fast as her wounded legs allowed her. She reached Tomoyo quickly.
|
|
rlm@2
|
205 Inmediatly she leaned her head, getting near to Tomoyo's. She was still
|
|
rlm@2
|
206 breathing. And Sakura could finally breathe peacefully again. Sakura embraced
|
|
rlm@2
|
207 Tomoyo and started to cry.
|
|
rlm@2
|
208
|
|
rlm@2
|
209 "Oh, thank you god."
|
|
rlm@2
|
210
|
|
rlm@2
|
211 Li stood up and looked at Sakura. He felt happy for her, but at the same time
|
|
rlm@2
|
212 felt a deep sadness withing him. He was starting to fall in love with her, but
|
|
rlm@2
|
213 she knew that even if Sakura tried to love him, her real feelings were for
|
|
rlm@2
|
214 Tomoyo-chan.
|
|
rlm@2
|
215
|
|
rlm@2
|
216
|
|
rlm@2
|
217 Tomoyo slowly opened her eyes and noticed that Sakura was embracing her. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
218 started to weep and returned the embrace.
|
|
rlm@2
|
219
|
|
rlm@2
|
220 "Sakura-chan..." Tomoyo said between gasps. "Please, forgive me!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
221 "No..." Sakura said, placing her soft hands on Tomoyo's white cheeks. "Its okay.
|
|
rlm@2
|
222 It wasn't your fault." A few tears of joy rolled down her cheeks.
|
|
rlm@2
|
223 "Sakura is worried about me... Sakura... I love you so much." Tomoyo thought,
|
|
rlm@2
|
224 closing her eyes.
|
|
rlm@2
|
225
|
|
rlm@2
|
226 Li was dissapointed. He wanted to be with Sakura like that... But he knew that
|
|
rlm@2
|
227 wouldn't happen. He went close to the sweet couple.
|
|
rlm@2
|
228
|
|
rlm@2
|
229 "Sakura, you must seal the card fast..."
|
|
rlm@2
|
230 "Hai!" she answered.
|
|
rlm@2
|
231
|
|
rlm@2
|
232 Sakura stood up, and Tomoyo did too. Tomoyo had one arm clasped around
|
|
rlm@2
|
233 Sakura-chan's waist. She was still shocked and wanted to hold Sakura. To feel
|
|
rlm@2
|
234 she was really all right. After a while, Sakura went near the body of The
|
|
rlm@2
|
235 Control. The card was lying on the cold soil, trembling. She slowly opened her
|
|
rlm@2
|
236 eyes and looked at Sakura.
|
|
rlm@2
|
237
|
|
rlm@2
|
238 "I'm going to seal you."
|
|
rlm@2
|
239 "Do it if you want..." the card said, sadly. "I've already failed my master,
|
|
rlm@2
|
240 Emeraldo."
|
|
rlm@2
|
241 "What?" Sakura asked.
|
|
rlm@2
|
242 "Seal me already!" the card cried out. "My master won't receive me! I FAILED
|
|
rlm@2
|
243 HIM!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
244 "Hoe!"
|
|
rlm@2
|
245
|
|
rlm@2
|
246 Sakura didn't understand what was happening at all. She only knew that this
|
|
rlm@2
|
247 Emeraldo was the previous owner of The Control, whoever he was. Sakura proceeded
|
|
rlm@2
|
248 to seal the card, and she finally did it. The Clow Card flew from the air until
|
|
rlm@2
|
249 she reached Sakura's hand.
|
|
rlm@2
|
250
|
|
rlm@2
|
251 "So this is The Control..."
|
|
rlm@2
|
252
|
|
rlm@2
|
253
|
|
rlm@2
|
254 Meanwhile, in the rooftop of a nearby building, a mysterious silhoutte was
|
|
rlm@2
|
255 looking at the events in the park. The hair of the figure was flowing with the
|
|
rlm@2
|
256 cold breeze of the night.
|
|
rlm@2
|
257
|
|
rlm@2
|
258 "She's stronger than I thought." The subject smirked. "It won't be too long,
|
|

279 I guess this is starting to lose the shôjo-ai strenght :( But I want to create
|
|
rlm@2
|
280 a new story about Card Captor Sakura... Gomen for that ^^ BTW, this whole
|
|
rlm@2
|
281 Emeraldo ordeal is starting to shape like Eriol's (the third season of the TV
|
|
rlm@2
|
282 series). Anyways, I'm still looking forward to reading you comments/critiques.
