Chapter 48 – Time
I love him. Of course I should love him. He’s my Master and Creator after all, but I don’t think Yue-sama understands. Those few of us who were Syaoran-sama’s cards before the Final Judgment still retain our memories as Clow Cards, and in Sakura-sama’s case, those of us she has newly created are truly new cards.
I was Syaoran-sama’s first card after all. I still remember how he found me that night, it seems years ago, climbing up the clock tower and then catching me by surprise with his lightning. I suppose that I should have been angry, but he intrigued me.
That was why I chose to go to him and not Sakura-sama, Cerberus-sama’s Chosen card captor.
Doesn’t he understand?
No, I do not think Yue-sama understands. The others, our new brothers and sisters, they owe him no allegiance, and indeed, were it not for Syaoran-sama’s unspoken, almost unthought-of order to keep Yue-sama safe, they would not hesitate to attack him after he made Syaoran-sama cry.
Mayhap he is beginning to see…
He accepted Yukito-sama last night. That is important. He has to learn to share…it will be hard, but not impossible…
Ah, the benefits to knowing the future. And yet I cannot see the whole future, for it is constantly in motion, but soon, there will be a day when Yue-sama accepts us and we accept him. By ‘we’, I mean all of us, the entire deck, not just us few who know him better…
So I will keep hoping until then, and now, it’s time for dinner…
Cerberus-sama and Yukito-sama are sleeping, and Syaoran-sama is busy trying to hide from a very determined village girl – she snuck into the temple to find him, which is strictly off-limits!
This ought to be interesting…
“KYAAA!”
Syaoran-sama is huddled under the blankets with Watery and Windy protecting him and Firey is chasing the girl off and Earthy is helping her…
Well, they look cozy…
We still sleep in the same bed, all of us, and since Yue-sama and the others don’t mind, why should I?
It’s getting dark anyways.
All good things must come to an end eventually.
“You two sure you want to come with me?”
“What sort of question is that?” Cerberus-sama growls. Yes, he does look almost like our Cerberus-sama, except he has green adornments instead of red. Interesting. But fitting, for was not Syaoran-sama’s color of choice green?
Yukito smiles “I have to come and keep an eye on Yue.”
Syaoran-sama laughs lightly, with a nod, and Yue-sama looks slightly uncomfortable, but he nods in return, and then we all join hands – well, all of me and my siblings have gone into card form, temporarily of course, and Yukito and Yue and Cerberus are around him, and then Gateway flashes…
And we’re elsewhere.
Syaoran-sama is turning an interesting blue color while Yukito-sama and Yue-sama and Cerberus-sama all scramble off of him. Perhaps now that we are all independent, I should drop the -sama…
That might work.
“Where are we?” Syaoran-sama asks. Gateway shrugs, he’s just a door, really, with black light going in and white light coming out, or at least his card picture is, and he doesn’t talk much.
When we see him, he’s usually trying to fade into the background. I think he and Shadow are friends.
He’s got pale skin and wears shadowy black clothing… but that’s not what I should be concentrating on! Is Syaoran-sama injured?
It doesn’t look it, as Return checks him over. Return can’t heal, per se, but she’s good at identifying problems, and then I can rewind time on him to eliminate them.
“I’m fine.” He smiles. “But I do wish we knew where we were.”
Hmm… Create appears, he’s wearing a light purple robe with the blue star on his book on the back, carrying the book in his arm. I’ll see what I can do…
“You don’t have to do anything, Create. I was just wondering….”
I look around. Well, in my opinion, it looks a bit like Tokyo.
“We’re in Tokyo?”
We’re in another world’s version of Japan, I’d suspect. Create nods.
“Well, I guess I can deal with that.” Syaoran-sama looks down at his clothes, noting that they’ve changed into a school uniform. Black pants, black jacket… simple enough.
We seem to have landed in a bush.
While Syaoran-sama brushes bits of prickly green off his clothing, Yukito frowns.
“Why do you have glasses on now?”
“Glasses?” Master Syaoran frowns. “That’s odd…”
Yue nods silently. This is quite strange…
Where have we landed?
The mystery is solved quickly enough, though, as a girl in a sailor suit bounds past – blonde pigtails flying.
“It can’t be…” Syaoran-sama is starting to look terrified. “We’re in the same world as… as… Sailor Moon?”
Yes, it seems to be the case. Sailor Moon, the klutzy crybaby of a senshi here in the flesh… and from her fuku, it’s evident that we’ve landed in season one…
This is not good!
Could be worse.
“Yes, you’re right, Silent.” He smiles. “We could have been in season three, where they were running off with heart crystals, or in season four, with the dream mirrors, or worst of all, in season five with the star seeds. Losing any of those results in death rather quickly…”
Silent laughs. Well, you are so optimistic, Master Syaoran?
‘Well, why not?”
Point taken. What should we do?
“Hide unless she needs our help?” Syaoran-sama suggests. I’m inclined to agree, and the others as well… but first, we’ll need a place to stay…
Syaoran-sama has a slightly mischievous smile on his face, and before we know it, we’re sequestered safely at the Cherry Blossom Hill Shrine, with the future senshi of Mars…
This will be quite interesting…
