The Reawakening of the Mistress

On the Way to China Part 2a

Chapter 7

A/N: Heh, I got an idea right after I posted chappie 6 but I'll still take the extra week off to start another fic ^_^ prolly be a short fic but since I like them long I might make this one longer…..

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS

Sakura looked at the crowd that had gathered around her, all expecting her to explain Yue.

A/N: Eheheh, I've used my extra week now so I'll get started on this….. I just have to say though, I didn't start any other stories because my Detective Conan one kinda sunk, and the other ones I kept getting ideas for other stories and I just had to put them down….. heh. Oooooh, I just finished playing Sakura Wars (Sakura Taisen in Japanese Romanized) 3, "Is Paris Burning?" is it's actual title I think….. anyways, it has got to be the most original <not plotwise> game I've ever played! I've never seen a game with the amount of characterization and coolnesses and battles and events and monsters <first one looks like it came out of alice in wonderland though….. a rabbit humanoid thing that goes usa usa <usagi in Japanese is rabbit…..> and waves around a giant scissor. <the usagi's name is Ciseaux, pronounced si-zo, sounds like scissor…..> I finished the game with Erica as my girl! Muahahahaha!!!!! I got the klutzy apprentice nun with the cross shaped machine gun!!!!! Heh, next time I'll go for the axe waving Viking noble stuck up Glycine girl….. o wells, I think I've written too much about the game but I really enjoyed it. I think Sakura Wars has the best music out of all the anime/games I've ever played. I'm playing the tune for Sakura Taisen 1 right now….. sugoi….. the movies with the koubu-F2's <the lil robots in the game, they look clunky cause it's 1920's but they look better then the ones in Tokyo….. at least till Sakura Wars 4 where the Koubu Kai's in Tokyo get a upgrade to Mach 2….. I hope….. and you guys have no clue what I'm talking about and if you do, then rejoice because I love Sakura Wars so much I'm going to add a Kohran like character in later! Maybe a different gender but still!!!! Heh, wow, that was a long author's note from out of no where but I just had to talk about the awesome animation and music and story and characters and….. there I go again….. I'll stop before I get too bad…..

"Eh, well, Yue was one of the guardians Clow Reed created to protect the book of Clow. Uh, I guess that Yukito is the human body created to house Yue until Yue was actually needed….. I'm not really sure since I've never had the chance to meet Clow Reed….." Sakura tried.

`Huh? Clow…..Reed? Where have I heard that name before….. <Li doesn't know Sakura is the card mistress as I've insinuated a few times.'

"There were two guardians altogether, Keroberos, <not sure if it's Keroberos or Kerberos since it's spelled both ways in the manga…..> the guardian of the Clow Book, and Yue, the one who tested to see whether the Clow Mistress was worthy….."

Everyone listened with intense concentration. Everyone, except Yukito. The boy sat there, jaws agape as he listened to Sakura say that he was just a body, made to hold another person. It just didn't seem too fair to just be an empty body without the other entity inside him.

Sakura continued, unaware of Yukito's predicament.

"So you see, I don't know too much about Yukito's past but I do know that it's his job to protect the current Clow Mistress….. which I guess would be me….." Sakura finished.

"So Yukito is your guardian….. and he draws power from your magic?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura nodded.

"Then why isn't he weaker then usual if you only have half of your power....." Syaoran continued.

"That's because he's drawing power from my other half….. which I just realized could be a way to find Kotomi if it were needed….. anyways, Kotomi is still a part of me just she isn't me anymore….." Sakura tried.

"So now Yukito can transform into some ultra powerful guy with wings?" Syaoran asked.

"I guess you can put it that way….. though it's more like Yue takes control of Yukito's body….."

"It's not fair!" Tomoyo suddenly burst out…..

Everyone's heads in the small tent turned towards the girl.

"Eh!? Did I say that out loud? Ignore me….." Tomoyo muttered.

`What the hell was that about…..' Syaoran thought as everyone's attention shifted back to Sakura.

"Uh….. w-why's everyone l-looking at me? Th-that's all I know….." Sakura stuttered under the pressure.

Now everyone's head turned toward Yukito.

"I-I think I need to think about this….. alone….." Yukito muttered as he stood up and walked off.

All heads turned towards Tomoyo now.

"Eh? I'm not telling you people what wasn't fair….." Tomoyo stated, reading everyone's thoughts. When everyone kept looking towards her, expecting an explanation, she decided it was a good time to need to go to the bathroom…..

Now only Sakura, Syaoran, Chiharu, and Takahashi remained. In the tent.

"Um, what do we talk about?" Sakura asked.

"I'm not sure….." Chiharu started.

"Did you know that long ago if you were caught-" Takahashi interrupted….. but was stopped by Chiharu's mad rage at her lying boyfriend/coworker.

"I think we should leave them alone….." Syaoran said as he stood up to lead Sakura out of the tent.

"I, uh, think that's a good idea?" Sakura said as she walked out of the room, keeping a weary eye on the struggling Takahashi and the attacking Chiharu.

Takahashi cast a glare at the pair that were leaving him to his fate. Sighing, the poor doctor managed to loosen Chiharu's grip long enough to take a deep breath.

*************************************************************** *********

Yukito walked aimlessly through the forest. He was just a body that was created but some powerful magical angel thing that was created by an even more powerful magician. Making him the just something that came out as a side effect….. something unwanted?

What was life exactly? It was described as being able to think? To process complex thoughts? No, then animals wouldn't be alive. To be able to contract different types of bacteria and viruses? That couldn't be right or else rocks and water were alive. To be able to own things? Yeah, that would be a logical definition. But if to be alive were to be able to own things then he wasn't really alive was he…..

Yukito sighed, everything he owned, everything he valued, were actually the properties of the magical entity that used his body as a sort of conduit for energy. Yukito sighed, if that were so, his life was useless. All that he had worked for all his life were for naught because in the end, the life he had was only borrowed.

Another sigh escaped the man's body as he looked up into the sun, squinting as the bright light filtered through the forest's many branches.

*************************************************************** *********

A spy was kneeled in front of a sly looking man, making a report that he hoped would raise his rank.

"So….., the great Aoi Vermouth has fallen, this is indeed a great opportunity to exploit the chaos that should follow. This humble clan, lead by I, Rewop, shall rise and become the rulers of Japan!"

Rewop stood up to start planning his takeover.

"Sir? I don't mean to impose upon you oh mighty and powerful Rewop, leader of the great and powerful port city of La' Pava, but is there any chance of me getting a reward?" the spy asked cautiously.

"Yeah, whatever, servants, give the man a gold coin for his services." Rewop said dismissively as he walked out of the room.

A servant took a gold coin out of a bag that was hanging next to him and flipped it to the spy.

Anger swept through the spy. Gripping the knife that he had at his waist, he leapt at Rewop, hoping to skewer the arrogant man then take all of his gold.

"RRRWWWAAAAHHHH!!!!"

Rewop turned around calmly and drew an intricate pattern in the air. The doorway filled with billions of tiny lights, each glowing with intense fury.

The spy slowed slightly as he considered the tiny lights in front of him but he pushed forward.

"If I were you, I wouldn't d-" Rewop started as he created a magical shield around him.

BOOM!!!

The lights seemed to catch the spy like a net, slowing him down, then the doorway exploded, leaving behind just a crater in the ground where the door used to be.

"-o that if I were you….." Rewop finished, flinching slightly as the spy's arm went flying past him.

"Well, I did try to warn him….." Rewop said, a glint of malice in his eyes.

The servants around him looked at the wreckage and sighed. There would be a lot of work for them tonight.

"Oh, and clean up the mess by tomorrow….." Rewop said as he walked into the planning room where his generals were.

Yup, there was tons of work for them tonight…..

*************************************************************** *********

The survivors of Kotomi's attack were once again were on the move. They were headed towards the nearest harbor city. La' Pava, being the closest one, and also the one that was closest to China.

Tomoyo and Syaoran were at the head of the group, leading the way since they were the ones that knew the lay of the land.

Chiharu and Takahashi were helping the young, old, and injured in the back of the "caravan".

Sakura was flying around the caravan, keeping an eye out for rogue sorcerers that might be a threat.

And Yukito was sitting in the back of one of the trucks, a dull look in his eyes.

Tomoyo noticed this and went to talk to the boy.

"Hey! What's going on?" Tomoyo asked cheerfully.

Looking up from his stupor, Yukito said, "Oh nothing, just thinking about things….."

Tomoyo took a second to read his mind, "Yukito, Yue is part of you, it's your life, you're two different people!"

Glaring at Tomoyo, Yukito said, "I would appreciate it if you would keep yourself out of my mind."

Taken aback, Tomoyo said, "What are you talking about? I didn't read your mind!"

Giving Tomoyo a look of contempt, Yukito turned away from her.

Sighing, Tomoyo gave up and walked back to the lead.

~*~

Tomoyo walked in silence for a few minutes up front with Syaoran before he got annoyed.

"What's up with you?" Syaoran asked, "You feeling ok?"

Surprised, Tomoyo looked up, "Oh, it's….. nothing….."

"C'mon, I know when your not feeling too well," said a exasperated Li, "and I don't need your psychic powers to know that."

"It's just that, Yukito's feeling really bad about Yue….."

"Eh? Why would he be sad that he's also a part of a really powerful magical being?"

"He thinks his life is just "borrowed" from Yue….."

"Borrowed? I've never thought about it that way….. but I guess it does make sense since without Yue, Yukito wouldn't exist….."

"How can you say that! Yukito and Yue are two different people! Even if Yue did make Yukito, Yukito is still a separate person! Albeit in the same body, but they are still different people!" Tomoyo yelled.

"I never said that he wasn't a separate person! I just said that it's true that he's living on a borrowed life because it wasn't him that made it!"

"Life can't be created! It's like energy! The, uh, what's it called? The law of conservation of energy? Energy can't be destroyed or created! Life is, erm, life force! So since force is energy then it can't be created from nothing!" Tomoyo said as she tried to explain her theory. <heh, that might've been how I said it if it were just off the top of my head ^_^>

"Magic is a type of energy! Duh!"

Tomoyo looked away in embarrassment as she realized her major oversight.

"I'm sorry, it's just that, I don't want Yukito to be sad….. it's not right to have a friend sad right?" Tomoyo said sullenly.

Syaoran scratched the back of his head, "I guess…..

The two walked in silence for a little while longer as the approached La' Pava.

*************************************************************** *********

Rewop watched on his castle walls as the workers under him stacked and moved various crates on and off ships. The ships were the main source of his wealth and power, shipping travelers and trade goods everywhere.

A long line of travelers were lined up, ready to go to China. Most of the travelers were of the shady sort, but Rewop didn't really care as long as they paid their dues. Besides, some of the passengers had pretty nasty bounties on their heads, and it was pretty easy to turn them in when the boat reached China.

Rewop sighed as he looked at a long forgotten air strip. Airplanes didn't have too much use ever since anti-air spells had been placed in strategic locations in the sky. They automatically short circuited any flying machines that neared them, causing the planes to crash into the ground. The spells were also one of the main reasons nations couldn't nuke the sorcerers.

Rewop did wish that he could fly once again though, as a sorcerer, he wasn't a very powerful one, he had always enjoyed flying in a plane more than using levitate magic to fly. To be able to soar through the skies, enjoying the vastness of the earth. But those days were long gone now.

A commander in his army approached him.

"Sir, there are a pair of very strange people who are demanding to board the Resiurc," the man reported.

"Did they pay?"

"Yes sir, they are paying….. but….."

"Spit it out, I don't have all day."

"They are paying the amount one would pay for a few hundred people….."

"Hmmmm, did you catch their names?"

"I'm sorry sir but they wouldn't give their names to me."

"Run a back round check on them, see if there are any bounties on their heads."

"Yes sir! Oh and what do I do with the money?"

"Keep it of course."

*************************************************************** *********

Syaoran and Tomoyo looked up at the walled port town in front of them. All the survivors were gathered behind them. The town of La' Pava lay before them, the smell of the salty sea lay before them.

Sakura had flew in ahead, scouting ahead to see how the local sorcerer infestation was.

Sakura looked around, taking in all the sites of a modern city. Even though she hadn't made a big deal out of all the new things in the world, inside, she was fascinated by all the modern machinery and different looks.

Looking through a nearby window, she saw a teenage boy sleeping on what Tomoyo had called a sofa….. in front of him was a strange looking box.

Sakura phased through the window with her magic to inspect the box. To her surprise, there was a cartoony looking person on it. From what she could tell, it was some sort of device that played pictures that moved on it. Apparently when the boy touched cold water he turned into a girl….. Upon further inspection, she found a few buttons on the box. Giving a hasty look at the sleeping boy, Sakura pressed one of the many buttons on the box.

Suddenly, the cartoon boy turned into a dusty looking magician that was casting a spell. Giving a shriek of surprise at suddenly finding herself faced with a tiny wizard that seemed to be casting a spell that she had never seen before, Sakura threw a magic blast at the box. The box exploded in a flurry of metal and wires, flinging Sakura into the couch the boy was on, tipping it over.

Sakura cast a guilty glance at the boy, she found herself staring into the eyes of a surprised teenage boy.

"Uh, I'll be going now….." Sakura said.

Sakura phased out of the building and flew towards the exit of the city.

"A sorcereress? Just what I needed," the boy grinned. Pulling out a remote control, he pressed one of the many buttons on it. Half the room started changing as computers and tools popped up…..

*************************************************************** *********

Rewop was observing the large crowd that had gathered outside his cities gates when he heard an explosion in the residential district of his city. Frowning, he cast an eagle eyes spell. From the building, he saw a girl holding a wand flying away from the small explosion. From what he could tell, the girl seemed to be pretty powerful, and was a pretty good looker too.

Smiling, he cast his specialty spell. It was basically the same spell he had used against the spy but the tiny dots were harder to see and they were all connected like a giant net.

He watched as the girl flew towards the net, unaware of the danger and obviously a little spooked or she probably would've noticed the tiny dots of magic.

Rewop smiled when she hit the net. Explosions lit off all around her, shock was written across her face as the force of the blasts knocked her out.

*************************************************************** *********

A small explosion jerked Yukito out of his daze. He jumped out of the truck and rushed to the front of the group to see what was going on. Most of the survivors had ignored the explosion, dismissing it as nothing, but it was obvious that Syaoran and the others had felt that it was dangerous from the way they were straining their eyes trying to look over the wall.

"What happened?" Yukito yelled as he ran up to the group.

Chiharu turned towards him, "Syaoran felt Sakura feel surprised then fear, all sometime around the explosion."

"I'm not exactly sure why you guys are all worrying about it, Sakura's more than strong enough to handle anything she finds in there….." Takahashi said, the uncertainty in his voice betraying his real feelings.

Suddenly, a loud explosion rocked the floor. Syaoran went down to the floor, clutching his head in pain. Tomoyo shot a worried look to Yukito.

"Should we go in?"

Yukito looked at the downed Syaoran, then at the fire that still lingered in the sky before nodding.

"Let's go."

Tomoyo and Yukito were about to go rushing in but Chiharu stopped them.

"Matte! We shouldn't go announcing our hostility until we're sure we can handle whatever we get into. Besides, Syaoran's down, and without him and Sakura missing, I don't think we're very strong right now….."

"Chiharu's right, we shouldn't charge in until we know what we're up against." Takahashi jumped in.

Yukito and Tomoyo exchanged glances that told Chiharu that they still were going to charge in.

"Look before you leap, I believe the saying goes," a new voice joined in.

Everyone's heads turned as the looked towards the new voice.

A teenage boy was standing in front of an interesting looking door that was integrated into the wall.

"Loo guo ni yao chu jo ni de pen yo lu hua, ni jo shu yao wuo du ban man (If you want to save your friend, then you will need my help)," the teenage boy said.

"Nani?" Takahashi asked as he tried to make heads or tails of what the boy had just said.

"It's Chinese….. he just basically offer his help….." Tomoyo said as she looked at the boy curiously.

"An empath right? At least that's what my scanner reads."

"Scanner?" Chiharu said as she tried to get over the fact that the teenage boy seemed smarted than she was…..

"Ah, I'm forgetting my manners, me llamo es Enikan Loot (my name is Enikan Loot), igu tsuo ji chi du lung tsai tse gu dee fang (a person who makes machines in the place)

"EH?? I think I heard some Spanish there but the Chinese I still don't understand….." Takahashi said, wide eyed and bewildered.

"He's Enikan Loot, a, inventor I guess?" Tomoyo said as she translated the boys words.

"Um, I'm sorry, but can you stick to one language if you want to help us or else we won't understand anything….." Yukito said.

"Very well, I'll get straight to the point so pardon me for skipping all the formalities. I can help you save your little friend, that is, as long as you get me out of this city afterwards." Enikan said.

"And how do we know we can trust you….." Yukito asked warily as he weighed the pros and cons of the alliance in his mind.

Enikan shrugged, "I dunno, I'll revive your unconscious friend there."

He pulled out a blue rod, then pointed it at Syaoran. Suddenly, a shot of blue hit Syaoran. Instantly, he sat up gasping.

"Sakura! She's hurt! She-!" he gasped before seeing Enikan with his strange rod and the mechanical door behind him, narrowing his eyes, he said, "Who the fuck are you?"
