Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ The ReAwakening of the Mistress ❯ The Dark Star ( Chapter 4 )
Reawakening of the Mistress
The Dark Star
Chapter 4
A/N: In response to Avelyn Lauren's review saying that the bracelet of energy stops her from doing evil there's a few ways of looking at it…. It never said it would stop her but it would make her loose her powers temporarily. And depending on the psychological point of view the person that could be telling her to do what would be considered an evil thing could actually be looked at as if it were a good thing….. it's a hard way to look at it but as they say, it's hard to understand a criminal's mind. ^_^ so that's my explanation for that one, sorry if you couldn't understand because my mind is funny….. And the reason she calls him master because she's Sakura and she just woke up from like a six hundred year sleep so she's like on half computer mode….. kind of how you are when you just woke up but not sleepy…. That didn't make sense did it? Oh well, hopes you gets the idea. And eventually I have to either make her weaker or some other people stronger because it would be too easy for Syaoran and the gang to have her as the most powerful person on Earth…. Anyone know how ffnet posts the new stories? If I want to post on Wednesday do I have to post on Tuesday? It says it takes 24 hours to update but I just wanted to make sure. Oh well, enjoy!

Sakura's mind raced as she felt her powers fade, no, become corrupted. Thoughts flew through her head.
`Darkness'
`Star'
`Pain'
`Horror'
`Master'
`Li'
`Awake'
`Pain'
`Darkness'
`Star'
`Sakura!'
`Sakura!'
`Pain'
`Sakura!'
Syaoran?'
Sakura's eyes fluttered open as Syaoran shook her. "Huh, what?" she whispered before a spasm of pain shot through her. A sudden image shot through her and she saw a star fade away into a black swirl, a black hole. As suddenly as the image had come it disappeared, replaced by the worried faces of Tomoyo and Syaoran. She was lying on the grass with the sun glaring in her eyes. She lifted her hands to block the sunlight but the sunlight still streamed through her fingers.
"Sakura-chan?" asked a concerned voice. Her eyes focused onto where the voice came from and she saw the worried face of Tomoyo.
"You ok?" asked another voice. This time it was Syaoran.
"I feel like I've been hit by a bulldozer……" Sakura mumbled as she tried to lift her head up. Most of her thoughts were in a jumble and she felt as if something wasn't right.
"Do I seem, different to you?" asked Sakura?"
"Eh? You seem like any other girl I've met," said Syaoran.
"Your fine, you don't seem weird or strange," smiled Tomoyo.
"No, I meant, do I seem different from a few moments ago?" asked Sakura.
"Uh, I don't think you seem any different. Should you seem any different?" asked a very confused Syaoran.
"Well, it's just that I feel as if something is wrong inside of me….. like some light has diminished, or my soul has been darkened…" said Sakura with a look on her face that said that she was just as confused as Syaoran.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan! You fine, it was probably just sudden exposure to the sun and stuff that made you faint," said Tomoyo pleasantly.
Sakura nodded slowly, not completely reassured that nothing was wrong with her. Sakura looked around and noticed that Chiharu was once again killing Takahashi even when they were both sleeping (she's choking him while they're both asleep) while Rika and Naoko were concentrating on the apparently mind boggling game of…… Tic Tack Toe.
"Hmm, if I put the X in this box then I could do that later but then she might do that so I would have to do that but if I did that then she would do that and then I wouldn't be able to do that then….." Rika thought out loud.
Continuing her look around she saw that Tomoyo was packing her things to go to wherever they had come from. Last but not least her master, Syaoran was concentrating on digging a hole in the ground with his stare. Every once in a while he would shoot a worried glance at her whenever he thought no one was looking. Sakura caught his eye the next time he was looking and he quickly averted his eyes and went back to digging his hole with his eyes with more fervor. Giggling at her master's antics Sakura stood up and said, "So when are we going to leave master?"
Syaoran looked at her, then turned his attention to Tomoyo.
"We're going to leave as soon as we can!" she said as she lugged the last of the packages into the wagon.
"Ok! Let's get going!" Sakura said as she held her hands up and materialized her wand before striking the air. The world around them shimmered as her magic flared around them. After a few seconds, they suddenly found themselves in a different location.
"Hmph, if you told me you could do that I wouldn't have had to pack all that stuff!" pouted Tomoyo. She was about to say more but she saw Sakura frowning at her wand, the look on her face telling her that something was very wrong.
"What's the matter Sakura?" asked Tomoyo. She tried to use her empathy powers on her but her magic naturally raised a shield against her, giving her mind a jolt.
"….Sakura?" asked Syaoran as he watched her frowning at her wand. He looked at where she was staring at, the star at the end of the wand. At first everything seemed like it did before but for the briefest of instants he saw the aura around it give off a pulse of darkness.
"It's….black…." mumbled Sakura as she stared at her wand.
"Huh?" Rika asked as she looked at Sakura in bewilderment. Everything had seemed fine until a few seconds ago after she teleported them.
"Sakura, is your star supposed to be black?" asked Tomoyo as she watched the star on the wand darken. With each shade of black the star passed through the less coherent Sakura's body seemed to become. Bursts of energy started snapping all over the place.
"She can't control her powers for some reason…." Stated Syaoran as he watched her fall to her knees and clutch her head in pain.
"Sakura, get a grip on yourself!" yelled Syaoran as he tried to walk towards her but the energy deflected him as he tried to walk towards her. Upping his level of effort, Syaoran jumped at Sakura but a black bolt of energy lashed out against him, sending him flying into a tree.
"Sakura! I command you to sleep!" tried Syaoran as he struggled to his feet.
Sakura's eyes seemed to close slightly from exhaustion from all the energy she had raging around her and the orders from Syaoran to sleep.
"Tomoyo, how much do you know about your empathetic power?" yelled Syaoran.
"I know enough to say I can do what you're asking," smiled Tomoyo despite the circumstances.
"Then hurry up and suggest her to sleep!" shouted Syaoran.
"Her power deflects my mind from her, I can't get through to her," said Tomoyo.
"I can help with that, I'll put up some illusions and some mesmerizing spells around her, they can't really effect her but I can set them to draw from surrounding energies and with Sakura's energy flaring like this they should be powerful enough to get through to her," said Naoko.
Tomoyo nodded in agreement and Naoko went to work on her spells. She first weaved an illusion spell that would trick a spell into thinking it was working. Then she wove another spell that would open a tunnel into Sakura's magic. Of course it wasn't strong enough to get through but Naoko laid the first spell onto the second to make the second think that it was working. Next she lay a series of foundation spells followed by a branched spell that combined with the first spell in order to make the tunnel really work by reinforcing what it was doing ten-fold, which would make the tunnel more potent as it was already thinking that it was working. (oookies, that was a bit confusing, its like this, if the tunnel spell wasn't working then it wouldn't work ten times over, but if it thought it was working <uh, to think is to be…> then it would work ten times ^_^ hope that made sense) Using the tunnel Naoko slipped illusions that would lead the energy around and mesmerization spells that would feed off the energy and then mesmerize Sakura so in effect Sakura was getting mesmerized by herself. Finishing her complex chain of spells (really complex….. took me a while to figure out what I wrote…. My fingers are smarter then me), Naoko nodded at Tomoyo who immediately set off to work on Sakura's dulled mind.
"Your sleepy your sleepy your sleepy your sleepy your sleepy," Tomoyo said out loud as she concentrated on those words. Sakura's raging energy simmered down as she sank into a half sleep state. Taking advantage of the situation Syaoran jumped at Sakura, knocking her down, causing the rest of the blazing energy to subside.
Syaoran brushed sweat from his head. Looking at Sakura's serene form, he could hardly believe she was capable of generating the massive quantities of energy he had just faced. Suddenly, he turned his head to the sound of clapping.
"Well done! I couldn't have done better myself! Thank you a lot for knocking her out for me!" said a cloaked figure in a tree.
"Who are you?!" asked a surprised Tomoyo as she tried to figure out if the new person was friend or foe.
"I don't think it would help you too much if you knew who I was, I'm just here for the girl," said the shadowy person.
"Hell your getting Sakura! Take that!" yelled Rika as she formed a giant ball of fire above her head and threw it at the new person.
"Tut tut tut! Didn't your mother ever teach you not to throw balls of fire at strangers? Now little annoying girls on the other hand…." Trailed off the newcomer as he threw the fireball at Naoko.
"AAAHHH!!!" she screamed as the ball of fire flew at her.
"Damn!" cried Rika as she jumped in the way, trying to fend off the blast of energy but the hooded man had increased the size and power of the fireball so Rika was unable to block the attack. The fireball engulfed her and Naoko, transforming them into little vials of liquid.
"Rika! Naoko!" screamed Tomoyo as the vials of liquid floated up to the newcomer.
"Ah, the taste of desperation, such a fine and unique taste, delightful!" sneered the mystery man as he drank the vials.
"You monster!" yelled Syaoran as he jumped at the man.
"Huh? What's going on?" asked Chiharu who was just waking up.
"Huh?" asked Takahashi as he sleepily rubbed his eyes.
"Don't tell me you guys slept through all that……" mumbled Syaoran as Tomoyo stared at the two dumbstruck.
"Die Takahashi! You made me miss something!" screamed Chiharu as she strangled Takahashi once more……
"I think I'll leave you two alone….." mumbled Tomoyo as she sweat dropped.
"<sigh> now you were saying Syaoran?" said the mystery man.
"Grrrr, die!" Syaoran yelled as he jumped at the man, sword drawn. Suddenly, a wave of power swept through the air, stopping in front of Syaoran. Yelping in surprise Syaoran slammed into the wave of energy.
"What the heck?" asked Syaoran as he rubbed his head. The wave of power came to an abrupt halt. The ripples in the air dissipated and revealed a humanoid figure.
"Shit, for all the time for Sakura to be knocked out she picks right when we're about to get attacked….." grumbled Syaoran as he slowly stood up using his sword as a prop.
The humanoid figure now came into focus revealing…… Sakura?
"B-but that's Sakura! And that's Sakura!" Tomoyo cried out in confusion as she looked from the Sakura on the ground to the one in the air.
The Sakura in the air smirked, "Should I kill them now master?" she asked to the hooded figure.
Syaoran's face showed shock and anger, "What are you talking about, you can't ki-"
"Yes, go ahead Sakura, kill them," interrupted the hooded man.
"Thanks!"
Sakura turned her head towards Syaoran, a malicious glint in her eyes.
"What the fuck have you done to her?" yelled Syaoran.
"Ah, but I didn't do anything. It was all my masters doing. He poisoned her star while she was still weak from reawakening. So each time she used magic a part of her would become corrupted from drawing magic from a tainted source. This little one is my dark Sakura, same as yours except she's evil and more importantly, she's mine. Too bad the original Sakura didn't have enough will power to hold the darkness inside of her, if she had I wouldn't have to use just a half power Sakura, oh well, she's powerful enough to destroy you so…."
"That's such a mean thing to do!" cried a new voice.
Everyone turned to see that the "good" Sakura had woken up and was holding her star wand threateningly at herself. (the bad one)
"Ah, Sakura, so nice of you to join us, Sakura, meet my Sakura! Sakura! Attack!" the mysterious man cried out.
"Were you talking to me or her?" asked the evil Sakura. Everyone sweat dropped at this. Even though the evil Sakura was evil she was still as naïve as ever.
"Of course you, you dimwit! Now go out and kill Sakura!"
"Wouldn't that be counter productive if I killed myself?" asked the evil Sakura, a very confused look on her face.
"Bwah, this is getting us no where, I think I need to change your personality a little…… you bunch got off lucky this time, next time your going to die!" The hooded man then grabbed the evil Sakura by her hand and disappeared into the forest.
"Uh, that was interesting…" said Syaoran as he looked towards the direction they had disappeared to.
"There's something seriously wrong with the enemies we've been encountering lately….." said Tomoyo. Turning towards Chiharu she was about to say something but stopped as she saw Chiharu still strangling Takahashi, "I wonder how long Takahashi can hold his breath?"
"Uh, maybe we should think about Takahashi's amazing ability to survive Chiharu's attacks and start thinking about how we can solve Sakura's problem…" reminded Syaoran.
"Oh right, Sakura, how can we solve your problem?" asked Tomoyo.
"What? You think she knows how to so-" started Syaoran.
"Well, it is possible but…." Said Sakura.
"But what?" asked Tomoyo.
"I can cut off my other self's access to my star but then that would be cutting myself off too…. There is one other way but it would be really hard to do…"
"Why is that?" asked Tomoyo.
"Well," said Sakura as a blush settled into her expressions, "the spell only works if it is performed by someone who loves you or at least lusts for you and also has at least mediocre magic."
"Well, then it won't be such a problem!" said Tomoyo.
"Hoe?" asked Sakura.
"We have Syaoran!" cried out Tomoyo.
"HOE?!?!?!?!" cried out Sakura.
"Kawai! Your so cute when you do that Sakura!" gushed Tomoyo.
"HOE!?!?!?!?!?!?"
A/N: Well, I have to admit that this chapter is kinda crap and I said I would do twenty one pages but I only have eight pages here…. I can explain… my lap top broke down on me, fell asleep with it on and it kinda burned out…. So I couldn't write till Sunday and I had to rush through the story… it definitely didn't come out the way I wanted it to so after I finish this story I'm going to go back and fix this chapter! Gomen! I'm posting this on Tuesday so I'm thinking it should come out on Wednesday…
I'm learning Japanese from my mom! Wheeee! Going to start adding a few Japanese words here and there when I remember to…. And I've decided that my own original character I'm going to add is going to be a girl and I already gave her a pretty big part in the story line for later on! Yays! Er, the Ja ne part is on the ninth page but doesn't really count….. and then counting these last two lines to say that these are also on the ninth page….<scratches back of head> oh well…
Ja ne
……I upped the rating on this thing because I'm going to have the characters use more swear words. I killed Naoko and Rika rather badly but I rather didn't want them in my story for too long, might make them come back later if some of you want me to. And if any of you have any ideas to add, post them or email me and I'll try to add them in if I like em! AND COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET FF NET TO READ THE BOLD ITALLICS I PUT INTO MY STORY???? <THIS IS ALL INBOLD AND ITALLICS SO I'm HOPING YOU CAN NOTICE THAT……
