     1.7 +Chapter II:
     1.8 +Card battle! The Control

    1.14 +
    1.15 +DISCLAIMER:
    1.16 +
    1.17 +I do not own Card Captor Sakura. CLAMP does! Other companies do! However, I used
    1.18 +their characters and ideas without permission. Still, this is just for fun, and
    1.19 +I'm not capitalizing on this, so please, don't sue me! X_x
    1.20 +Be forewarned: This tale doesn't contain explicit yuri scenes, but it's a
    1.21 +shôjo-ai story nonetheless (love between girls). Enjoy!
    1.22 +
    1.23 +***
    1.24 +
    1.25 +READ THIS PLEASE:
    1.26 +
    1.27 +Before reading this you should've read Chapter I ^^ Please, read it before to
    1.28 +get a better understanding of this part. Domo arigato!
    1.29 +In this part I'll switch from Tomoyo's. Don't ask why. Just read. However, I'm
    1.30 +almost sure that from now on I'm only going to use a witness POV, and switch
    1.31 +from POVs from time to time... The story needs it ^^ It's really annoying (and
    1.32 +shows my lack of good writing skills XD)... but I can't figure any other way of
    1.33 +developing the story. Gomen! :P)
    1.34 +
    1.35 +Japanese terms new to this part:
    1.36 +
    1.37 +1) Nani: This little midget translates to "What?"
    1.38 +2) Masaka: Translates to "It can't be!" (if you've seen a lot of anime in
    1.39 +   japanese you shold ve VERY familiar with this word ^^)
    1.40 +3) Rokushô Tama: "Verdigris sphere" is one of the attacks of ________ (read ^^).
    1.41 +4) Tonikaku: "At any rate, anyways"
    1.42 +5) Hai: Means "Yes"
    1.43 +
    1.44 +***
    1.45 +
    1.46 +Sakura stood alert in the middle of the park. It looked like the card would stay
    1.47 +hidden. She stood there for a long time, until that happened. I threw my video
    1.48 +camera to the hard cobblestones of the park. My head started to feel weird and I
    1.49 +heard this weird voice on my sub-conciousness. A cold feeling started to wrap my
    1.50 +body. I was very dizzy and couldn't even move. I panicked!
    1.51 +
    1.52 +"Oh no! This can't be!" I thought. "If this card controls me... No! I can't bear
    1.53 +the idea of hurting Sakura-chan!
    1.54 +
    1.55 +I was still concious of my actions. However, some unknown force thwarted my free
    1.56 +will. I was possesed. I couldn't decide what to do. My body started to obey the
    1.57 +commands of this evil Clow Card and move on it's own. I started to get very
    1.58 +worried about Sakura. I didn't care about me... I just wanted to protect
    1.59 +Sakura-chan!"
    1.60 +
    1.61 +"Look Sakura!" Kero yelled. Sakura inmediately noticed something was wrong with
    1.62 +me.
    1.63 +"Sa.. Sakura!" I don't know how I managed to say that. My whole body felt like
    1.64 +a eight ton rock. Perhaps my love for her made me stronger. "R... RUN AND BE
    1.65 +SAFE!!!"
    1.66 +
    1.67 +Sakura shocked at the sight! Oh, God... Poor Sakura! I felt horrible. Only a few
    1.68 +hours ago the incident with Naoko-chan... and now I was the root of her
    1.69 +uneasyness.
    1.70 +
    1.71 +"I can't!" She cried. "I CAN'T LEAVE YOU, TOMOYO-CHAN!"
    1.72 +
    1.73 +I noticed some tears started to run down her rosy cheeks. I wanted to cry too,
    1.74 +but my eyes were dry and hard... I could barely feel them. I started to feel a
    1.75 +great pain in my whole body. My mind was trying to resist to the attempts of the
    1.76 +wretched Clow Card, but it was all in vain. After a while of futile resistence,
    1.77 +The Control finally took charge of me.
    1.78 +
    1.79 +I started to run towards Sakura-chan. Now my real self couldn't do a thing. I
    1.80 +still felt the inmense pain... My soul was crying. I was very worried for
    1.81 +Sakura. Sakura stood still, waiting for me. I tackled her very hardly and she
    1.82 +flew away. My strenght was also boosted due to the magic effects of this Clow
    1.83 +Card. I couldn't believe I was the one harming Sakura. I noticed how she rolled
    1.84 +on the cold cobblestone floor of the park plaza, and the skin of her knees
    1.85 +scratched. It was unbearable for me. I was fighting with Sakura-chan. The
    1.86 +feeling of pain grew even bigger than before.
    1.87 +
    1.88 +"SAKURA!!!" I cried louder than ever. The tears began falling. "PLEASE! RUN
    1.89 +AWAY!"
    1.90 +"NO!" She said gasping. I could feel the pain she was feeling. "I WON'T LEAVE
    1.91 +YOU TOMOYO-CHAN! I'm responsible for what happened to Naoko-chan, AND I'M NOT
    1.92 +GOING TO LEAVE YOU!"
    1.93 +
    1.94 +Sakura got up once again. She started to tremble. Little droplets of blood were
    1.95 +dripping from the tears of her skin. I won't be able to forgive myself! I know
    1.96 +it's not my fault! I'm being controlled by the card, but... Now it was really
    1.97 +overwhelming. The pain grew even more... And I lost it... The pain was gone, and
    1.98 +I saw only black. Cold and lonely black...
    1.99 +
   1.100 +
   1.101 +"Sakura! You need to seal the force first!" Kero said to Sakura.
   1.102 +"How on earth can I do that?" Sakura yelled. "I don't have the slightest idea on
   1.103 +how can I free Tomoyo from the influence of the magic energy.
   1.104 +"You DON'T need to free her at all..." Kero mumbled. "You must think of a way to
   1.105 +get The Control out of her. That's the only way.
   1.106 +"Hoe!" Sakura started to cry once again.
   1.107 +"Don't be such a crybaby!" Kero said. "Remember what Tomoyo said!"
   1.108 +
   1.109 +Sakura's eyes were wide open. She started to remeber what Tomoyo-chan said
   1.110 +earlier. She remembered that she promised to be a courageous Card Captor. She
   1.111 +needed to regain that confidence, and she needed it back fast.
   1.112 +
   1.113 +"I know. I'm sure I'll find a way to free Tomoyo from the card! I MUST SAVE MY
   1.114 +DEAR TOMOYO!"
   1.115 +
   1.116 +
   1.117 +Tomoyo let a scream. Maybe it was from the unbearable pain she felt. The fact
   1.118 +was that her face changed. Her gaze was different... She looked evil. Sakura
   1.119 +noticed this. She got ready for an inminent attack. But to her surprise it
   1.120 +wasn't a physical attack. Tomoyo started to levitate. She rose from the soil
   1.121 +until she reached about two meters. Then she stopped.
   1.122 +
   1.123 +"Hoe! What's happening!?" Sakura was puzzled.
   1.124 +"This is not right! This card isn't wild!" Kero was very worried.
   1.125 +"NANI?" Sakura cried out.
   1.126 +"This is planned... The Control couldn't manage to prepare something like this
   1.127 +on her own..." Kero said, thinking about it...
   1.128 +"I don't get it!" Sakura said in a deep confusion.
   1.129 +"I mean that this card is already working for someone... There is another Card
   1.130 +Captor near here. I can feel a great mana presence."
   1.131 +
   1.132 +
   1.133 +In fact Kerberos was right. Mana, the magical force that maintains the delicate
   1.134 +equilibrium of the world, was showing it's presence there. Suddenly, Tomoyo-chan
   1.135 +started to glow, and a magic emblem appeared on the cold floor, directly under
   1.136 +her feet. I was very complex and featured a lot of details and inscriptions in
   1.137 +the ancient language of the magi.
   1.138 +
   1.139 +"Masaka!!" Kero was shocked.
   1.140 +Sakura was too worried and perplexed to even try to say something. Her mouth was
   1.141 +opened. She was too confused.
   1.142 +"What do I need to do?" She cried.
   1.143 +"I don't know Sakura!" chuckled Kero, not believing the great amount of magical
   1.144 +energy he felt. "The Control must be somewhere. Maybe if you try hitting her..."
   1.145 +"But where is she!!! WHERE IS SHE!!!" Sakura cried harder.
   1.146 +
   1.147 +
   1.148 +The strange Tomoyo was still floating at a couple of meters from the soil. She
   1.149 +opened her eyes and looked directly at Sakura-chan. Her gaze was evil and
   1.150 +lifeless. She looked like she was dead. This new vision of horror was all that
   1.151 +Sakura needed to lose it. She fainted.
   1.152 +
   1.153 +"SAKURA-CHAN!!!" Kero screamed when she saw Sakura falling to the ground.
   1.154 +
   1.155 +Kerberos got near Sakura. She didn't move. Her eyes were completely closed. She
   1.156 +was only breathing, but if she didn't wake up soon, Tomoyo would kill her. The
   1.157 +possesed Tomoyo closed her eyes once again. She extended her right arm, and
   1.158 +opened her hand. The palm of her hand started to emit a light green glow, and a
   1.159 +little version of the powerful magical emblem appeared on the pale skin of her
   1.160 +palm. A bigger one appeared around her wrist and this one started to spin
   1.161 +slowly. It was a morbid spectacle of deadly magic. The light began to
   1.162 +concentrate on a little sphere on Tomoyo's hand, and this little orb of mana
   1.163 +began to grow. It's green light was very bright. Tomoyo was ready to strike
   1.164 +Sakura with the spell anytime soon...
   1.165 +
   1.166 +"SAKURA!!" Kero cried out loud. "YOU MUST WAKE UP!"
   1.167 +Sakura didn't move, and Tomoyo was ready to throw the ball of magic at them.
   1.168 +"So this is it..." Kero said softly, waiting for the strike.
   1.169 +
   1.170 +Tomoyo opened her eyes. She had a smirk painted on her devil-like child face.
   1.171 +She laughed and said with an out-of-this-world voice:
   1.172 +
   1.173 +"Rokushô Tama!"
   1.174 +
   1.175 +The sphere of green light popped up a bit and the started to fly down at Sakura
   1.176 +at an unbelievable speed. Kero thought this was their end, but..
   1.177 +
   1.178 +"God of thunder!!" said a familiar voice from behind.
   1.179 +
   1.180 +A thunder came darting from behind. The sparks impacted the sphere of green
   1.181 +energy. The orb was deflected and it impacted right behind Tomoyo-chan. It
   1.182 +exploded on a big cloud of green mist and energy. It almost looked like hot,
   1.183 +burning plasma.
   1.184 +
   1.185 +
   1.186 +Li Syaoran made it right in time. If he were a minute later, sakura would've...
   1.187 +At any rate, all was over, or at least for now. The Control lied there on the
   1.188 +floor. A few meters from her lied Tomoyo's body. Kero noticed Li was there.
   1.189 +
   1.190 +"You've come at the perfect time, brat." he said at Li.
   1.191 +"Watch you tongue, asshole..." Li said.
   1.192 +Kero was really angry. "Tonikaku, help me with Sakura."
   1.193 +
   1.194 +Li leaned to see Sakura. She was all right, and she slowly opened her eyes.
   1.195 +
   1.196 +"What happened?.." she asked Li, slowly getting on her knees.
   1.197 +"It's over... The card is defeated. Now you must seal it..." Li said, blushing
   1.198 +a little. He was starting to feel uneasy whenever he was near Sakura-chan. "You
   1.199 +must do it quickly Sakura..."
   1.200 +"What about Tomoyo?" Sakura's eyes openened more. "IS SHE OKAY?"
   1.201 +Li nodded and pointed to where Tomoyo was lying. Sakura was overjoyed and a few
   1.202 +tears of happiness escaped from her eyes. "Oh, thank you god..."
   1.203 +Sakura began to run to Tomoyo, but Li moved his arm and grabbed hers. "Daijôbu,
   1.204 +Sakura-chan?"
   1.205 +"Hai!"
   1.206 +
   1.207 +Sakura ran as fast as her wounded legs allowed her. She reached Tomoyo quickly.
   1.208 +Inmediatly she leaned her head, getting near to Tomoyo's. She was still
   1.209 +breathing. And Sakura could finally breathe peacefully again. Sakura embraced
   1.210 +Tomoyo and started to cry.
   1.211 +
   1.212 +"Oh, thank you god."
   1.213 +
   1.214 +Li stood up and looked at Sakura. He felt happy for her, but at the same time
   1.215 +felt a deep sadness withing him. He was starting to fall in love with her, but
   1.216 +she knew that even if Sakura tried to love him, her real feelings were for
   1.217 +Tomoyo-chan.
   1.218 +
   1.219 +
   1.220 +Tomoyo slowly opened her eyes and noticed that Sakura was embracing her. She
   1.221 +started to weep and returned the embrace.
   1.222 +
   1.223 +"Sakura-chan..." Tomoyo said between gasps. "Please, forgive me!"
   1.224 +"No..." Sakura said, placing her soft hands on Tomoyo's white cheeks. "Its okay.
   1.225 +It wasn't your fault." A few tears of joy rolled down her cheeks.
   1.226 +"Sakura is worried about me... Sakura... I love you so much." Tomoyo thought,
   1.227 +closing her eyes.
   1.228 +
   1.229 +Li was dissapointed. He wanted to be with Sakura like that... But he knew that
   1.230 +wouldn't happen. He went close to the sweet couple.
   1.231 +
   1.232 +"Sakura, you must seal the card fast..."
   1.233 +"Hai!" she answered.
   1.234 +
   1.235 +Sakura stood up, and Tomoyo did too. Tomoyo had one arm clasped around
   1.236 +Sakura-chan's waist. She was still shocked and wanted to hold Sakura. To feel
   1.237 +she was really all right. After a while, Sakura went near the body of The
   1.238 +Control. The card was lying on the cold soil, trembling. She slowly opened her
   1.239 +eyes and looked at Sakura.
   1.240 +
   1.241 +"I'm going to seal you."
   1.242 +"Do it if you want..." the card said, sadly. "I've already failed my master,
   1.243 +Emeraldo."
   1.244 +"What?" Sakura asked.
   1.245 +"Seal me already!" the card cried out. "My master won't receive me! I FAILED
   1.246 +HIM!"
   1.247 +"Hoe!"
   1.248 +
   1.249 +Sakura didn't understand what was happening at all. She only knew that this
   1.250 +Emeraldo was the previous owner of The Control, whoever he was. Sakura proceeded
   1.251 +to seal the card, and she finally did it. The Clow Card flew from the air until
   1.252 +she reached Sakura's hand.
   1.253 +
   1.254 +"So this is The Control..."
   1.255 +
   1.256 +
   1.257 +Meanwhile, in the rooftop of a nearby building, a mysterious silhoutte was
   1.258 +looking at the events in the park. The hair of the figure was flowing with the
   1.259 +cold breeze of the night.
   1.260 +
   1.261 +"She's stronger than I thought." The subject smirked. "It won't be too long,
   1.262 +though... So wait for it, Sakura..."
   1.263 +
   1.264 +***
   1.265 +
   1.266 +JIKAI YOKOKU:
   1.267 +
   1.268 +Who is this Emeraldo guy? He and the new mysterious Clow Cards are doing their
   1.269 +stuff, trying to destroy Sakura's life. Tomoyo, as usual is going to be very
   1.270 +supportive to Sakura-chan, but... Will Sakura be able to endure all the
   1.271 +hardships to come? What? A new student comes??
   1.272 +
   1.273 +Don't miss the next chapter of A love story,
   1.274 +
   1.275 +Chapter III:

   1.280 +AUTHOR'S NOTES:
   1.281 +
   1.282 +I guess this is starting to lose the shôjo-ai strenght :( But I want to create
   1.283 +a new story about Card Captor Sakura... Gomen for that ^^ BTW, this whole
   1.284 +Emeraldo ordeal is starting to shape like Eriol's (the third season of the TV
   1.285 +series). Anyways, I'm still looking forward to reading you comments/critiques.
   1.286 +E-mail me at my address, riel@telcel.net.ve. See you soon! ^^
