Cardcaptors: Friend or Foe?-Ch.11
Sakura watched in horror as Rage and Li went at it, both dead set on killing each other. "Kero," she cried desperately, "How do I make them stop!?"
Kero flew close by, his arms crossed over his chest, the very picture of a calm, collected Guardian Beast of the Seal, but his wings were fluttering nervously, "Why would you want to, Sakura?"
Sakura just stared at him. "Because Rage is going to kill Li!!!" she finally yelled into Kero's ear.
Kero winced, rubbing his head, "How can you be so sure?"
Sakura gave him a look, "Don't be an idiot, Kero. You know Rage is a better swordsman than Li is."
"So why don't you help him?" Kero suggested.
"Help who?"
Kero stared at her. "The Kid of course!!" he exclaimed, his arms moving up and down faster than the eye could see. "Who did you think I meant? Rage?!"
Sakura looked back at the two. Li was on the attack, giving everything he had, but no matter how hard he tried to get through Rage's defense, he just couldn't. No matter where his sword was, Rage's was there to meet it. Li's forehead was glistening and Sakura knew he must be tiring. Rage, however, looked as cool as an Autumn day. And he was smiling. Sakura shivered, she got the sick feeling that Rage was merely toying with Li, that, at any moment, if she didn't do anything, Rage would run Li through and that would be that.
"Well, he hasn't really done anything wrong, yet." Sakura said.
Kero looked at her incredulously. "Are you defending him?"
Sakura looked around, "No, it's just,....." Sakura sighed. "I just don't want to see anyone get hurt."
Kero looked at her for a long moment. "That's commendable, Sakura," he said quietly, "But, I can't say the same."
Sakura couldn't believe this. Kero wasn't going to help her! Sakura frowned, becoming angry. "Fine!" she snapped, surprising Kero. "If you won't help me, I'll just stop them myself!" Sakura walked forward slightly, towards the fighting. She raised the Clow wand, "Windy! Release and dispel! Release!" Windy exploded out of the card and headed towards the two.
Li, hearing Sakura release Windy, looked up at Rage and smiled slightly, thinking that while Windy had him distracted, he would go in for the kill. Li only had a few seconds to think about this before he realized, in disbelief, that Windy was heading for him, too. Now Rage was the one smiling.
Windy reached them at the same time. She slammed into Li, encasing him in a bubble and immobilizing him. No matter how he tried to break free, he could not. Rage jumped up quickly, but Windy followed him. He sliced through Windy with his sword, and Windy retreated. Rage landed gracefully on the ground. He looked over at Li, smiling evilly. He started towards the trapped Cardcaptor, his sword held out in front of him.
Sakura marched up, placing herself in Rage's path, placed her hands on her hips, and glared. "Stop!" she demanded, angry that Li had been foolish enough to tangle with Rage, and angry at Rage for showing up at all. "If you want to harm him, you'll have to go through me." Sakura told Rage.
"Sakura! What are you doing?! Let me out of here so that I can finish this!!" Li ordered.
Sakura looked over her shoulder at him. "Shut-up Li, your big mouth is what got you into this in the first place." Li reared back, shocked. Then a hurt expression crossed his face. Sakura began to feel guilty, and with the guilt, her anger began to fade away. She really shouldn't have snapped at him.....Sakura mentally shook her head. No. If she was going to do this, she needed to be angry, her anger gave her strength.
Sakura faced Rage once again. She really didn't expect him to stop, in fact, she expected him to plow right over her. She even had a Clow card at the ready, just to be sure. She knew it wouldn't stop him, but it would give her and Li some time to get away. And so, it was to her great astonishment, that Rage stopped.
Rage lowered his sword slightly and looked into Sakura's angry face. "Move, or I shall move you."
Sakura blinked. What? No death threat? Wasn't he going to kill her? Her, the descendant of Clow Reed? Sakura frowned. Apparently not, or he would have already. Well, why not? Which brings her to the question.....why did he save her from the Disease card? Sakura became confused, and her confusion fed her anger, which, in her opinion, was a good thing. The angrier she was the easier this was.
Sakura's glare intensified and she took a step forward. Rage blinked, surprised. "Why don't you just go through me?" Sakura asked quietly, angry. "Why don't you just run me through with that big sword of yours and be rid of me?" she questioned.
Rage looked down upon her, the same question going through his head. Why hadn't he killed her? "My word," he said quickly. He knew that was the reason why he hadn't touched her, yet, but, he sensed it wasn't the only reason.
Sakura's green eyes glimmered, and Rage couldn't help but be captivated by them. "Oh?" Sakura said. She placed her index finger on her lips and pretended to think about what he said. Then her gaze snapped back to him and she stopped pretending. "Is that so? I guess that makes sense, seeing as how you're so honourable," she began moving forward in a fury, "But that didn't compel you to save me from Disease, did it? You could have let him kill me, that way, I'd be dead, one problem solved, and your word would have been kept, problem two solved. So why did you do it? Why save me? And why couldn't you have just waited the extra day, and shown up then!" she yelled. "Then, you could have killed me yourself! I might still have been alive."
Rage's back slammed into the penguin slide. He glanced over his shoulder slightly, surprised. Had he been......backing away form her?! A woman who was half his size? Impossible! And yet, apparently, very possible. He had been dazzled by her temper, what a feisty wench! And her eyes had held him spellbound. He had been thrown off his stride, and by a woman no less. Why? Sakura's own question rang through his mind. No matter. Rage's eyes narrowed. He would not let this.....woman, push him around, he would not give her any power over him, no matter how beautiful she was. With that thought, Rage's mind began working again,
He sheathed his sword and folded his arms in front off himself, trying to get back his composure. "It is no concern of yours why I chose to save your life," he informed her.
Sakura's mouth tightened. "Like hell it isn't!" she hissed at him. She took two more steps towards him, and Rage couldn't help but be consciously aware that he had nowhere to go. Sakura jabbed her finger into his chest and glared menacingly up at him. "It's my life and I have a right to know why my enemy, would dare to save it."
Rage's eyes narrowed, "I should think it was rather obvious," he countered.
"Well it's not to me." Sakura snapped.
Rage smiled slightly, that infuriating smile that told Sakura nothing. "You are my enemy," he said slowly, "And descendant to Clow Reed," he hissed the sorcerer's name, "So, naturally, I would want to be the one to kill you. I am but one day away from accomplishing my goal, so why would I give you up to Disease when I am so close?" he reasoned.
Sakura looked at him skeptically. "That doesn't make sense. Why not just let him kill me, it would have been easier," Rage opened his mouth and Sakura held up a hand. She shook her head, "Right, right, you're no coward, I know. But why kill Disease then? He was a fellow card, or a brother, if you will."
Rage laughed, he couldn't help it. "A brother?!" he questioned incredulously. "He was no brother of mine! He is a card, and therefore, has something in common with me, but, that is where the similarities end. If I had had enough time and a good enough reason centuries before to get rid of him, I would have. Disease is a snake, he even looks like one, and he has the morals of one. He possesses no honour, and some of the things he has done....." Rage stopped himself, realizing he was giving too much away. He shrugged, "I was simply removing some competition." he pointed out calmly.
"Really?" Sakura questioned, something told her he wasn't telling her the whole truth, and what had he been going to say before he stopped in mid sentence?.......
"Do not believe me, it is no concern of mine, but that is my reason." Rage said stiffly.
Sakura stood there, contemplating, her anger draining away. "So, we're back to that now are we? You trying to kill me?" Sakura sighed. "It's just too bad you weren't on our side." she said almost wistfully.
Rage's eyes widened in shock, "What do you mean by that?" he asked, in almost a whisper.
Sakura looked at him curiously. "Nothing, it doesn't matter. Why?"
Rage shook his head slightly. "Nevermind, you are correct,......it does not matter."
Sakura smiled, not knowing why, "So I'll see you tomorrow then."
Rage glared at her, but his mouth twitched. "You will not live past that day, I do not know why you look so happy about it."
Sakura shrugged. She turned around, the thought that Rage might attack her never entering her mind. "Windy, return to your power, confined! Windy!" Sakura resealed Windy, letting Li out of his little bubble. "If you're coming Kero, let's go." she said, still angry with him for refusing to help her stop the fight between Rage and Li. She began walking out of the park, a sullen Kero following her dejectedly.
Rage stood, watching her go. "She is beautiful when she is angry." he commented. He turned to face Li, who was eyeing him warily. "Don't you think?"
Li glared at him, "It doesn't matter what I think, and you have no right to be thinking anything of the sort." he snapped. He lowered his voice until it was at a dangerous pitch, "I don't know what your game is, Clow card, but I'm going to find out. You may have fooled Sakura but you can't fool me."
Rage smiled that half smile of his. "Run along, boy, she did not go through that much trouble to have us start up again." then his voice lowered as well, "But keep in mind, she cannot protect you forever. I will have my revenge, and she will not stop me."
Li stood there a moment, wondering why Rage sounded like his revenge didn't extend to Sakura. Finally, he called the Time card back to him, sheathed his sword, and with a last glare at Rage, hurried to catch up with Sakura.
Rage stood, leaning against the penguin slide, thinking. A single pink cherry blossom drifted down in front of his face, distracting him. He reached out a hand and let the delicate flower fall into it. Closing his eyes, he lifted it to his face gently and inhaled the sweet fragrance. Opening his eyes once more, he glanced up into the clear blue sky, and whispered, "Sakura......"
~
Li quickly caught up to Sakura. He grabbed her arm and turned her around roughly. "What was that?" he asked, his own temper getting the better of him.
Sakura looked down in shame, feeling guilty for lying to Li. "What?" she asked in a small voice.
Kero shook his head, he knew this would happen,
Li's eyes narrowed. "Don't play dumb with me. Is this the thing I was supposed to find out in two days, tomorrow?"
Sakura looked up at him. "Li, I was going to tell you I swear, I just didn't know how you'd react." she said desperately. "I didn't know how you would take it."
Li threw his hands up in the air, "What!? That you were on friendly terms with a Clow card!?"
Sakura crossed her arms over her chest defensively, but she tried producing a wobbly smile to make light of the situation. "I wouldn't exactly call our relationship friendly, he does want to kill me after all."
Li just stood there, staring at her for so long that Sakura started fidgeting. Finally, he said, "He's a Clow card Sakura, doesn't that mean anything to you? Whatever he said, whatever he did, to gain your pity, or sympathy, or, whatever, forget it. H e
l i e d."
Sakura's gaze became heated. "So what if he's a Clow card? What is with you two?" she cried, looking at Kero as she said this. "He has feelings, as you've pointed out more than once, Kero, he may have been created out of magic, but in every other sense of the word, he is human."
Li and Kero stared at her. "He's killed countless people, Sakura.Why are you defending him?" Li asked.
Sakura threw up her arms. "I don't know!!" she cried, frustrated. "I just feel like I must! There's something about him that makes me think he is not what he seems, but I can't put my finger on it." she looked up at Li pleadingly. "Look Li, please, just trust me, I know you don't like the Clow cards, and that's understandable, but you can't let your hatred for them rule your life. It will destroy you, and it might destroy others as well. Just let it go, let me try and understand this odd sense I'm having to try and protect Rage. I promise, if I'm wrong, I'll do everything in my power to stop him."
Li stood for a moment, gazing off into space, not moving an inch. He turned around suddenly, and walked away. Looking over his shoulder, he said quietly, "It may be too late by then." and he walked off.
Sakura's shoulders slumped. "What am I going to do now?" she asked herself, desperate. She turned and looked at a very sullen looking Kero. "Kero, you believe in me don't you?" she asked hopefully.
Kero looked upon his Mistress sadly. He shook his head, "I'm sorry Sakura, but you're going too far. You can't trust these cards, especially the Rage card." Kero flew off, leaving Sakura alone.
Sakura collapsed to the ground, crying silently. What had she done? What had she done?
To be continued.......
