Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Silver Lining ❯ Chapter 3

Well, I've just screwed the CCS manga timeline. This is AU, remember

Disclaimer: If I owned CCS, there would be a lot of hentai stuff in it probably…

Notes: Underage sex, stuff like that… focus is on Syaoran mostly.

Chapter 3

 

The next day, Sakura was on her way home when she spotted someone that looked exactly like her speeding away on roller blades!

“What the-?”

Kero-chan peered out of her backpack. “That must be the Mirror card!”

“The mirror card?”

“Hurry! We have to capture it fast! That card can do a lot of damage!”

“H-hai!”

Sakura put on her own roller blades and sped after Mirror. Unfortunately, soon the card had just… disappeared.

Feeling down, Sakura went home.

 

Syaoran, on the other hand, was at the public library reading a book on Japanese history with his notebook next to him. Unfortunately, that was only a cover. There was supposed to be a Clow Card here…

At least, that's what Dream had told him last night.

“What are you doing here brat?”

Syaoran met Touya's angry eyes. “Studying. What does it look like? And I'm not bothering your sister, so leave me alone.”

“Don't think I forgot about the time you set me on fire.” Touya glared. Syaoran turned his head and went back to his book, but then Touya grabbed his shoulders.

“Look at me when I'm talking to you!”

Syaoran yelped, partially from the pain but partially because the tentacle card had just jabbed him in a sensitive spot. It looked like the next Clow Card had shown up, but what was it?

Could it be-?

Syaoran gulped nervously. This could be very bad, but it was worth a try. “Lust card, return to your true form!”

There was no response.

“Guessed wrong then…” Touya showed no signs of letting go. A plan coming to mind, Syaoran activated the Dream card and then had it distract Touya while he broke free. The Clow Card pursued. Now free of a fake body, it's true form was revealed. Long, thin vines, chains, and leather were shown…

“You're the Bind Card!”

The card nodded, looking at Syaoran expectantly. Syaoran sighed. “Wait until I get home, okay?”

A nod came from the leather-clad boy. He was tall and thin, with long red hair. From his hands and body trailed various binding implements.

Syaoran locked the door to his apartment and then faced the card. With a growl, it pounced. Syaoran found himself tied to the bed, but then the Bind card got bored and returned to card form.

It was no fun having such a willing participant.

 

As he left the building, Touya ran into Mirror…

Sakura did her card divination at home, and ran off to find her brother…

Syaoran tried to figure out a way to untie him… luckily, the bonds dissolved after a few minutes. Sighing, he put on a clean pair of clothes and went off to find the Clow Card. Even if it wasn't his, Kinimoto-san might need help.

He was busy hacking his way through underbrush - well, rephrase that. He was busy wandering through a mess of leaves, twigs, and grass, trying to find the Clow Card in the mess. Unfortunately, his compass only had limited range…

He soon heard the sound of crying.

“You again, brat?” Kero-chan asked.

“I came here searching for the Clow Card. I have as much right to be here as you do!” Syaoran retaliated.

Sakura looked up, tears streaming down the face.

“What's the matter?” Syaoran inquired.

“You! That compass! It's used to find Clow cards, right?”

Blinks came from the Chinese boy.

“Please help me find my brother!” Sakura begged.

 

Against his better nature, Syaoran activated the compass, and they ran after the beam of light. When the came to the edge of a cliff, Sakura activated Fly and they flew down. Sure enough, there was Touya Kinimoto, unconscious… and a copy of Sakura.

Wait…

Then that would be `Mirror', and not his to capture.

Turning his back on the scene, Syaoran left. She should have no problem… right? Turning around, he saw Watery vanish after a failed attack.

“You have to call out the card's name!” Kero-chan called.

After a few seconds, Sakura figured out it was Mirror. Sighing in relief, Syaoran left the scene before he was asked to help get Touya back home.

He missed Kero-chan's glare at his back.

 

“What's wrong, Kero-chan?”

“That brat… what is he doing?”

“Hoe?”

“Couldn't you sense it? There's a Clow Card following him. I can't believe he didn't notice!”

`A-ano, should I tell him? Wait! A Clow Card?”

“Never mind. Oops. Not a Clow Card.” Kero-chan quickly amended. “It's another set that Clow created.”

“Another set?”

“That way, you'll each have your own.”

“That's wonderful, Kero-chan! Now we won't have to fight anymore? I wonder if it's another Windy?”

Sakura didn't get it, but enlightening her would probably be bad in this case… he just smiled and nodded.

“That'd be cool Sakura!”

“Hai~!”

 

Syaoran walked home, thinking.

He was still too young though. Yukito might like him, but…

Well, darn! What to do?

What could he do?

Rumor held that there were other cards that would… help, but he hadn't captured them yet. Until then, he could only wait…

And plot…

 

Kero-chan was waiting in his house. Well, more like his apartment, but that wasn't the point.

“Yes, stuffed animal?” Syaoran asked.

“Don't call me that!” Cerberus bristled.

“What do you want?”

“You do know what you're doing, right?”

“Hai! I'll catch the Clow Cards and-.” He blinked as Kero-chan cut him off.

“That's not it. I have confidence in Sakura that she will win her half of the Final Judgment, but you must win yours as well! Otherwise, these cards will be hers!”

Syaoran shuddered. “And that would defeat the whole purpose of having two separate decks.”

“Exactly. Do you understand now?”

“Hai. I won't lose…”

“Good.” Having conveyed his message, Kero-chan flew off. Syaoran nodded. * I won't fail… *
