CardCaptor Sakura Remastered IV Episode 9 (10)

CardCaptor Sakura Remastered IV 9 (10)

A Few Days Later… Nighttime in New King Penguin Park.
Sakura gritted her teeth, fists clenched as she looked up from the ground where she was knocked down.

Tomoyo felt the two clumsy males grope her, but she was only concerned
for Sakura. She looked so angry but all Tomoyo could think of was
quelling her anger. "Sakura don't--"

They grunted and choked out obscene words and gestures at her, groping
her breasts and bottom.

This didn't mean nothing to her. None of their touching did. All Tomoyo
could think of was Sakura.

She looked so angry. Her hand wanting to take her keystaff and --

One of the males falls over into the ground, the other spinning about
only to come face to face with a very tall and very angry person. Her
equine face looking down at him as her anger showed through her eyes. Her strong hands grabbing him, shoving him towards his "friend" on the
ground.

Xai Shar didn't have words for them, nor did she waste them, she simply
thrust her foot out and kicked the two backwards even further, hastening
their departure.

It took a long minute for Tomoyo to get Sakura to loosen her hands, which brought a yelp from her.

"You're bleeding!"

She had gripped her fists together so tightly that she cut herself on her own key, blood dripping from her hand as she lets the key fall from it onto the ground with a clack. Tomoyo, reaching down to tear abit of her clothes for a band aid, is stopped by Xai. "I'll heal it."

With a quick motion, and a few swipes of her hand in the air forming
spell craft, she casts a healing spell.

"I originally wanted to be a SpellThrasher. But I was never coordinated
enough to cast complex spells in conjunction with magic after -- my
nerves are a little shot after --"

"After?" Tomoyo asked, uncertain whether to even speak as she tended to
Sakura.

"I practiced since I was little. Always wanting to be a mage. But when I
was 12 cycles old I was hooked up with a friend on a fad called Rhythm
Thrumming, and it was great, for a time. Eventually it damaged my
nerves after prolonged exposure and I was no longer able to cast spells
like I used to, ruining my chances to enter a good SpellThrasher school."

She stops the spell as she looks at her hands trembling from the exertion. "You see, in order to weave complex spellwork you need nimble fingers, and that's something I don't have… anymore." (checks Sakura's hand) "Becoming a Judgment seemed natural since I was naturally quite powerful and fast, and more importantly I didn't need skilled hands to butcher people." Her voice drops abit, tinged with regret as she speaks.

* * * * * *

Keiko went to gather up Sakura and Tomoyo. Hearing from Xai Shar what happened while they were walking home from a school event.

"I'm fine. I'm just -- worn, that's all -- it's been a long day." Sakura
responded, her body shivering -- but not from the cold that was slowly
setting in as she overcame what happened to them.

Keiko kissed her on the forehead and mussed her head slightly, “You seem to be recovering fine.”

The bus ride home (Keiko’s insistance) was quiet. Sakura leaned against Tomoyo, quietly sleeping as the bus rumbled onwards. As she noticed Keiko wanting to speak, Tomoyo raised a finger to her lips and whispered "She had a busy day."

"So I figured." Keiko mouthed silently, noticing a watchful Xai Shar in
the background a few rows back keeping the two under surveillance. Slowly, and carefully Keiko leaned back in her chair watching the two.
"Clow card hunting and jerks take the energy out of her?"

"Something like that." Tomoyo replied in a soft hushed tone, never
straying far from Sakura's side. Suddenly Keiko felt a light touch on herself, and knew Tomoyo was eyeing her damaged uniform. "What happened? Are you hurt?"

“It's nothing." she remarked, waving Tomoyo's inquires off silently with
a smile as they walked towards the exit.

The whole bus ride home Tomoyo would hold Sakura's hand, leaning her own
head against Keiko's strong body as she watched over Sakura. Even when
assured that Sakura would be fine Tomoyo refused to leave her side. It
was as if something had happened, yet she would not say even when prodded for details.

Finally, as they reached home, Sakura woke up, staring down at Tomoyo as
she walked dutifully beside her, arm raised and hand holding Sakura's
hand. "Tomo-chan--? I?"

"So my sleepy head's finally awake. Here's your key back." she smiled,
putting Keiko's key back into her pocket as she beheld her beautiful
face, scrunched with concern and worry.

"Sorry." Sakura whispered sullenly, only to be scolded gently by Tomoyo.
"I like it better when you smile. You're my sunshine and my muse after
all, Sakura-chan. Smiles are more appropriate for my Sakura-chan's face
than frowns."

A small smile returns to the usually energetic girl's face, her body
wiggling as she asks to be put down. From there, Sakura walked the rest
of the way home, Tomoyo close by as they walked, each keeping an arm
around the other's waist, talking in quiet whispers. It might have seemed like Tomoyo was being a mother hen, but Sakura didn't mind the cuddling one bit as they walked.

* * * * * *

The shower seemed particularly soothing. Far more so than usual. All her muscles loosened up, and she seemed to nearly collapse against the wall of the shower as her tension finally let go. Xai looked about the shower, abit weary as she turned off the water and gathered her wits.

She had only been there to keep an eye on them, but another thought
occurred to her before the Sakura incident. 'I could take Meilin there.
On a date. The way lovers do.'

She hasn't gone on my dates with Meilin here in Tokyo because it felt so
wrong. Meilin had insisted on it because she, at least, didn't let their
difference in age diminish her love for the Palominian. At least she was
age-blind even if Xai sometimes let it trip her up. It wasn't as if Xai
was doing it on purpose, but she couldn't get over it no matter how she
tried to suppress it.

A girl of Meilin's age going out with a woman far older than her. Having friends and others from her school see her with an old mare of a female. She knew Meilin told her friends about the impending wedding, and how happy she was to be marrying Xai, but Xai at times she couldn't get over the fact that she was -- she was so much older than Meilin.

She kept her spirits up near her, and promised not to let her depression
show in front of her.

But still the doubts nagged in the back of her mind.

She turns her gaze upwards and sighs, a rush of breath near a horse's
sigh as she relents to her fears for a brief second. "I'm not a dirty old woman."

Time, it seemed, was not a good friend of her's anymore. She didn't like
feeling this way but -- she just couldn't help herself it seems. It
wasn't her fault. She didn't become this age by choice.

Still, if it was just the age thing she could get over it. There was a
new concern growing in her mind.

One she asked Meilin about as she returned to bed.

"Have you seen Sakura -- I mean have you seen her ever? lose it before?"

Meilin, not understanding the question posed to her, turned to look at
Xai as she crawled into bed.

"Lose it?"

"I mean have you ever seen her -- angry. Really and truly 110% angry.
Have you ever seen her in such a rage you would have thought her capable
of just about anything."

For awhile Meilin thought about it. Honestly and truly put that question
to her mind. Then, with a slight shake of her head, she answered "I don't know. She's been angry but not truly viciously angry. I never thought it was in her nature to be that way. She's too kind and pure for that. Why? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing." Xai answered, as if from a distance. "Nothing at all."

But that was not the truth. At least, not the way she was pondering the
thought in the back of her head.

'I just hope she's online tonight.'

* * * * * *

Online.

A term usually associated with surfing the internet. But when one has wetware installed into their brains it takes on a whole new meaning.

When "sleeping", in a state of rest that allows the spirit to recharge,
one's mind occupies itself within the confines of it's "head" and either
"dreams" to entertain itself, or "dreams" things which may be
subconscious messages from somewhere. If one has wetware implants one can spend their time in their "private command center" within their mind and go through their e-mails, surf the web, and do other things while
"Sleeping".

But in Xai's case she is referring to the vast Judgment Citadel within
DreamCyberSpace (the DCS Network) where Judgments meet and discuss cases
on "secure" links, in a place where no one can spy on them.

Thankfully the person she was waiting for, Keiko, was online tonight.

"Just what are you driving at."

"In consideration of what must be done -- perhaps we're going the wrong
way." Xai laid out plainly.

"And what way do you think we can go?" Keiko remarked, "I don't see where we have the luxury of a second "opinion" considering we don't even have the option of a second choice, period. Like it or not this is the only course of action we can take?" (snarls) "Devil be damned how it'll end."

"So you think Sakura is capable of --"

"We're all capable of it." Keiko answers. "Sakura is no different than
you, or me, she's a human being with human failings. And we have to power her up to levels well past her abilities when she was heir apparent of Clow Reed's magical "heritage", which will make it all the more worse for us if she turns."

"Will she turn?" Xai asks again, pressing the issue. Silence.
"If anything happens to Tomoyo we can kiss any chance of stopping Sakura
short of killing her goodbye."

* * * * * *

Sakura's eyes snapped open, her mouth wordlessly gasping a few words as
she wakes. It was still dark, which meant it was early in the morning? yet she couldn't forget so easily. She couldn't get it out of her head. What happened earlier. Those men molesting Tomoyo.
She then put it one step further, and thought of Tomoyo's father. What he did to her.

In her dreams she's a mute witness back at the skating pond, watching
Tomoyo's father assault her in the snow? screaming for him to stop. In a
brief instant she felt a terrible urge come over her. An urge to kill.
She wanted to grab her keystaff, bring forth sword, and? but then reason
overcame base fear and anger.

As she looks down she finds herself in a state of half dress, her pajama
top pulled away exposing her bare flesh. As she closes her top she sighs. Her last rational thought in her dream was to take Tomoyo's place. Pull her clothes away and beg him to take her instead. Anything for Tomoyo…

That's when she felt a hand squeeze her hand, and Tomoyo's gaze fall upon her. "Sakura-chan?" Sakura smiles, and leans down to kiss her softly. 'I don't want to worry her anymore.' Sakura thinks to herself. 'It's not fair to her.'

"You OK?" she whispers, concerned. Sakura smiles and whispers "I'm
thirsty."

Tomoyo's head bumps against her's as she sighs. "You're a poor liar,
Sakura-chan."

Sigh. She could never lie to Tomoyo it seems. She always knew when Sakura was being less than honest.
"If anything ever happened to you?"

Tomoyo nodded her head, and knew what Sakura was about to say without
even having to hear it.
"Nothing happened. Don't let that incident worry you so. They could never "touch" me the way you do right here." (she grasps Sakura's hand and puts it to her heart) "Do you understand?"

Tomoyo falls back into a lying position, her hands pulling Sakura along,
her smile electric as they fell into each other's arms. "I'm going to
have to work harder to make you forget those sort of things, don't I?"

The two kiss long and passionately, a kiss that lasts an eternity before
they break, Tomoyo smiling as she

"I'm going to make you a new costume. That'll help you forget."

Sakura suddenly feels grateful that it's too dark for Tomoyo to see the
expression on her face at that moment.

* * * * * *

"What's wrong with --" Eve asked before Keiko showed her her phone, or to be more precise the remains of her phone. "Yet another thing to add to my "to replace" list -- apparently it was damaged during that little job I did yesterday and was broken -- cut nicely in half too." (plays with pieces before disposing of them in a proper disposal container) "I don't suppose you have a cellphone on you?"

"Yes and no.” Eve said, “I have to charge mine again… Where are you going? Can't you use the regular phones?"

Keiko shook her head as she walked, "I don't want the call traced so I'm using a portable cellphone and making it short. Nina got a new one yesterday so that'd be perfect. Since it hasn't been used much it'd be perfect for an untraceable call."

"They're tracing the calls?" Eve asked, confused.

"Tomoyo's bodyguards has a monitoring system on the phones -- mostly to
weed out sex fiends and perverts making obscene calls to Tomoyo or
Sonomi." Keiko remarks, walking right into Nina's room and straight
towards a huge desk and the gigantic cute doll house sitting on it. "Only Nina would think of hiding her phone and datapad in a doll house. Yet who'd think to look in here -- ingenious, really."

"Is this alright? Borrowing Nina‘s stuff I mean…" Eve whispers, glancing about, "We could get in trouble."

"It's alright. She won't mind. I'll just reach through the roof and grab
the phone and we're in---"

"EEKKK!!"

Quickly Keiko yanked her arm out of the doll house with a deathly pale
face, grasping her hand as if it was just burned. "WhatthehelldidI---"
she rasps, teeth clenched.

"Keiko---?"

From inside the house something moved, which scared the hell out of Keiko causing her to fall over onto the floor. Small footsteps could be heard as Eve rushed to her side, the footsteps slowly descending down
the "stairs" as they listened. Soon, a small little noise could be heard
in the house, which followed by the little door of the house popping wide open, causing Keiko to yelp in a rather out of character manner.

There, at the door of this little house, stood the most peculiar sight. A small "female" about so high with well defined and rounded features
complete with small perky breasts no less, wearing the most bizarre
little outfit while sporting this strange purplish hairdo. She looked on, eyes rolling back and forth at the two, before she spoke. "Who squeezed Plum? Well? Who-Squeezed-Plum?" (the little one demanded)
The small female, face pouty, repeated her inquiry while she stood there
with arms crossed in a judgmental way. Keiko, now frowning, looked as if
she was about to cry. "It's accusing me of molesting her!!"

"?" Plum looked confused by the sudden accusation, then she thought about it -- and thought -- and thought -- and shook her head, and thought some more -- That's when a second voice called out to her from inside the doll house.

"She thinks you're accusing her of touching you in your naughty spots!" a tired voice from inside screamed. The voice, which sounded quite feminine(and quite sleepy) cried something akin to "Good night" then fell silent. Plum, looking back through the door for a second, quickly recovered and waved at Keiko,

"Oh, no! No! My naughty things are untouched, thanks! Opal didn't frisk
me yet this morning so I‘m hoping she gropes my naughty things soon."

Something inside the house groaned. "Don't call me that (and stop “sharing“ things like that with complete strangers while you‘re at it)."

Keiko however was more interested in the strange purple haired micro girl who, with her large eyes and whimsical face, creeped Keiko out majorly. Slowly, but surely, she raised herself up to look this "Plum" straight in the "eyes" to ask, "Just who the heck are you? anyway?"

It took a few seconds for the question to sink in. She smiles, and points at herself saying "Plum."

"Say what." Keiko mutters. Clearly she was still dazed from what happened a minute or so ago.

"Plum." she repeated, pointing at herself again. "Plum. I'm master's
messenger. My partner's Opal, and--"

"My name's NOT Opal! Stop calling me Opal!"

But Plum would hear nothing of it. She walked right back in, her
footfalls the only thing heard, until something with long dark hair is
shoved through the second floor window. "OPAL!! Say hi!! Say something
intelligent!!"

The small female, her eyes droopy as she looked about, sighed? "Stupid
idiot."

"No, no." Plum insisted. "Say something smarter than that!"

Opal - "(-_-)"

Breakfast was slowly becoming a feeding cattle call in the Daidouji
Estates.

The amount of residents, Clow girls and visitors was becoming ridiculous. It was becoming harder and harder to feed everyone. It came to the point that they either had to rotate dining shifts so the kitchen wasn't overwhelmed, or a whole room had to be converted into a "mess hall" to accommodate everyone.

The latter choice was made. Tomoyo decided to do the task so when she and Sakura woke up that morning for breakfast in bed, she began to work. As Tomoyo sketched out the plans on a notebook, Sakura glanced over her
shoulder with a curious expression on her face. "That's not clothes for
me, is it?"

"Not now, but I have a few designs I want to show you later."

Sakura blushed. "Oh. But?" (?) "Tomo, are you drawing a room?"

"It's the new dining area to accommodate all our visitors and extra
"family". After drawing costume designs for years it's very easy to
design a room layout." (smiles) "And it's fun too -- but not as much fun as going on another date with you."

Sakura's eyebrows go up, confusion setting in. Tomoyo simply smiles and
says "There's no school today. Let's go out and --"

* * * * * *

"Date?!?"

Nina, Keiko, Eve and Cloud seemed rather confused by this announcement.

Kero, hovering over the table, smiled his wicked little smile. "It really pays off to pay attention and keep your ears open, because you'll never know when you'll hear something interesting."

"Interesting only to you." Keiko countered. "What. You're love life that
boring that you need to live vicariously through Sakura and Tomoyo?"

Cloud pouted, and Kero refused to say a word to her. Eve had to do the
speaking.

"Where are they going?"

"They wouldn't say. All I could hear was that. I had important things to
do and, you know, it took priority."

"They threw you out." Nina guessed, to which Kero didn't say a word
until he finally nodded his head and sighed. "Sakura has no sense of
humor."

Everyone (except Kero) sighs. Cloud, kicking her feet beneath the table,
gave Kero a severe look.

"You're just avoiding the fact that you STILL suck at Mario Party 8! Any
other reason you found a good excuse to go "check" on Sakura than to
avoid admitting MY greatness other than that?" Cloud challenged.

"You're not THAT great." Kero scoffed. "Don't get all self important on
me. I was winning."

"That's the lament of a LOSER!"

"W-what?!? Why you!!"

Nina sighs as she watches the two bicker, pulling another biscuit from
the basket on the table as she speaks, "Not that I care where
Sakura/Tomoyo date, or when while we’re on the topic, but why don't you two --" (aiming her comment right at Cloud/Kero) "-- get a room or something, you lovebirds you."

The two huffed their breaths, grabbed biscuits, and stormed off to go
back to playing games.

Nina - "When those two finally get back into their human adult female slash giant lion sex antics again, and Cloud gives birth to Kero's child? I am so going to shoot myself, mostly from the shock that the two actually stopped playing video games long enough to even think of attempting reproduction, let alone actually succeeding in reproduction. Oh, yeah, where are they going?"

Eve - "Back to their room to play Mario Party 8, of course."

Nina - "I meant Sakura/Tomoyo. Where are THEY going."

Eve - "I thought you didn't care."

Nina - "Screw that. I wanna watch." (eyes turn towards Keiko) "Yes, yes I am THAT bored. Up yours."

Keiko - "Didn't say a thing."

Nina - "You were, and that's what counts."

Keiko - "Was not, and like that ever counted with you."

Nina - "Jerk."

Keiko - "Natural born stalker."

Eve sighs and goes back to her own food.

Nina - "So? where are they going?"

Keiko - "Go ask Kero, if he's not too busy reproducing."

Nina - "Up yours."

To be continued. In the meantime...
