The Second Generation
8

Makoto
here! Last time, I left Shinji with
Meeko to talk about…"things". I'm not
stupid, (Meeko: *cough* Are you sure?)
Shut up! I'm not stupid! I know Meeko likes Shinji! (Meeko: That's none of your business!) Wanna bet?! Anyway, I leave Shinji alone with my sister, and she gets trapped
in the Shield Card! (Meeko: It wasn't
his fault!) Don't push me! I'll get him yet! Anyway, if Meeko will let me finish, Shinji and I along Syaoran
and Yukito-san, are all on a search to find the Sword Card. Mom is out shopping for the coming Christmas
season, so we couldn't use her Sakura Card.
I hope we get to Meeko in time, or I'll have to rearrange Shinji's
face! (Meeko: Makoto!)

Shinji ran through town, Makoto
right behind him, trying to find any place that would have broaches. So far they hadn't had any luck. They went into another store, and ransacked
the shelves, looking for any broach that looked like a sword.

When they
were searching for it, Shinji sensed it.
Apparently, so did Makoto, because he jumped for joy at pointed to a
particular broach. The salesman was in
back, so Makoto snatched it up. "I got
it!"

Shinji tied
to warn him. "Don't touch it!" But it was too late. The sword had already transformed and
Makoto's eyes glazed over. He swiped at
Shinji, now possessed by the Sword Card.

Shinji
dodged it, and blocked the next blow with his sword. I have to get us out of here. He jumped over a display and ran out of the store. "Come on, Sword Card! Come and get me!" He taunted.

Makoto
jumped over the same display, and out of the store. The salesman came back and looked around. "I thought I heard a customer." He shrugged and went back to cleaning the
store.

Shinji ran
to the first alley he saw, and turned into it.
At least here, less people would see the two fight. But Shinji didn't want to fight Makoto. He had to get the sword out of Makoto's
hand, but how?

Akiko
watched helplessly as her best friend, slowly slumped to the floor, sweating,
and breathing heavily. Akiko wanted to
help, but didn't have any magical powers (Remember, Eriol and Tomoyo haven't
told her about her powers yet).

Behind her, Akiko heard a
laugh. She spun around and saw the same
woman that had spread all the cards.
"What are you doing here?!"
Akiko demanded. She moved in
front of Meeko. She may not have
powers, but God himself couldn't stop her from trying.

The woman
stepped forward, and attacked Akiko with a powerful blast of magic. Akiko couldn't move away in time, and was thrown
back into the shield. She moaned, and
slowly got up.

Something
in her snapped. "No one is gonna hurt
my friends! Not if I can help it!" She took a fighting stance, and made ready
for battle. Just them, her body started
to glow with an inner yellow light. She
looked at herself in wonder.

The woman
took a step back. She wasn't expecting
much of a resistance. Now the tables
have turned.

Akiko
narrowed her eyes. She wasn't sure of
what was going on inside her, but she didn't care. If she could protect her friend, then she would. She threw her hand back, and fired a
lightning blast at the woman.

The woman
dodged to the side and the blast hit a tree, causing bark to spray
everywhere. Some cut into Akiko, but
she simply jumped towards the woman, and kicked her in the stomach. The blow caught her off guard and she
doubled over.

Akiko
followed up with a knee to the woman's face.
Something cracked and the woman fell to her knees. Akiko smirked. "Now leave before you get hurt…" She then added as an
afterthought. "…More."

The woman
took Akiko's mistake of overconfidence and tripped Akiko.

Akiko went
down hard. The woman jumped up and
tried to bring her foot down on Akiko.
Akiko though, somehow sensed the move, and without looking, rolled to
the side, getting into a crouch.

The woman
smiled evilly. "You may have discovered
your powers, but I will not allow you to stop me from destroying those pesky
cardcaptors!"

Akiko stood up and got back into a fighting
stance. "You're gonna have to get
through me first!" The woman smiled and
attacked Akiko again.

All Meeko
could do, was watch helplessly, as her friend now battle for Meeko's life…and
her own.

Shinji
dodged to the side, as Makoto tried to bisect him hip to hip. "Makoto fight it! Snap out of it!" Shinji
pleaded with his friend, but was not heard.

Makoto
stacked again, this time making contact with Shinji's arm, making a gash which
bleed heavily. Shinji held his arm,
trying to stop the blood. "Okay that
does it!" He said.

He held
onto his staff in both hands, ignoring the pain he felt in his arm. "This is for Meeko. Please forgive me." He attacked Makoto, using his staff to
deliver blows to Makoto's stomach and back.

Finally,
Makoto was thrown to the ground, where Shinji was able to knock the sword from
his hand. It floated up, where Shinji
hit it with his staff, also a sealing staff.
"Sword Card! To thy true
form! Sword!!!"

Sword Card
flew into the staff, and a card formed at the end. The sword was changed down, now trapped in card formed.

Makoto awoke and shook his
head. "Wha…what happened?"

Shinji knelt by his side. "Don't worry. You were taken over by the Sword Card." He explained.

Makoto nodded and got up with some
help from Shinji. "So…you got it?"

Shinji nodded and proudly held up
and card. Makoto smiled. "Well, let's go!" He and Shinji ran back to the park.

Akiko was thrown into the
tree…again. This time, making a wound
in the back of her head. She slumped to
the floor, and tried to open her eyes, but only saw the world around her spin,
so she quickly closed them again.

Meeko was now fighting to stay
conscious, leaning heavily on the side of the shield.

The woman smiled and aimed another
attack at Akiko.

"THUNDER!!!" A large lightning blast hit the woman,
sending her flying back.

Akiko opened her eyes, fighting her
dizziness, and turned to see Nakuru and Sakura running up. Sakura had her staff out and Nakuru was
transformed into Ruby Moon.

Sakura knelt besides Akiko, while
Ruby Moon fended off the woman with her red crystal attack. (Similar to Yue's
crystal attack, where crystals come out of their hands and attack the enemy,
very sharp, but with red crystals) The
woman jumped moved to side, dodging as many as she could, but some hit her and
they sent her to the ground.

Akiko was helped to her feet, and
looked at Meeko. "We're running out of
time!!"

Sakura nodded. "I told Syaoran we'd be here. He'll come as soon as he can." Sakura stood in front of Akiko. "Stand back."

Akiko would have nothing of the
sort. "No!" She said. "I can help
to!" She fired up and fired a lightning
attack of her own, though weak, sent the weekend foe to her knees once again.

Sakura's mouth dropped and Ruby
Moon shrugged. "Looks like she knows
now…" The woman sneered and growled before disappearing.

Akiko frowned, but was unable to
ask anything about it, because them, Shinji and Makoto came to them. "We got it!!" Makoto shouted.

Shinji's smile faded as he saw
Meeko collapsed in the shield.
"Iie! Meeko!" He immediately brought out the card. "Sword Card!" Sword wrapped around Shinji's staff and it turned into a sword.

Shinji put on a determined face,
and raised the sword. He brought it
hard down on shield, splitting it in two.
It turned into the normal form of the Shield Card, and floated towards
Shinji in aggression. Shinji wasn't
going to give him the chance. "Shield
Card! To thy true form! Shield!!!"

Shield returned to card form and
floated to Shinji. Shinji immediately
knelt by Meeko's side, lifting up her head, and cradling it in his arms. "Please wake up. Onegai, don't leave me…" He said softly.

Meeko stirred and slowly opened her
eyes. "Doko? Where am I?"

Shinji smiled. "You're safe now."

Sakura smiled at how kawaii they
looked. "Shinji, please take her home."

He nodded and brought out his
wings, then took to the air.

Makoto walked over to Akiko. "I'll take you home." She nodded and they started off.

Ruby Moon turned back into Nakuru
and walked over besides Sakura. "This
is only the beginning."

Sakura nodded, then turned as she
sensed Syaoran and Yukito coming. They
looked around. "Guess you ladies took
care of everything."

Sakura smirked. "You got that right."

Then Nakuru walked over to her
husband. "Akiko knows…"

Yukito nodded. "Secrets can not be kept for long…"

Meeko closed her eyes as the wind
washed over her. She felt so bad, being
mad at Shinji for keeping his secret.
She should have understood him, instead of being upset. And here he was taking her home, first
class, with her in his arms. She loved
the feeling, his body's warmth, shielding her from the chilly outdoors.

He showed no expression as he flew
over the city, above everyone's heads.
Meeko looked down sadly. She
wanted to say it…but…

"It's okay." Shinji said.

Meeko looked up shocked. "Nani?"

"I know what you want to
say…don't. You have a right to be
mad. I was wrong." He explained, not looking down once.

Meeko sighed. "No, I was wrong. I should've tried to see it from your point of view. Gomannasai.
Onegai (please), forgive me?"
She asked, finally getting the courage to look up.

He looked down and smiled. "Only if you forgive me."

She smiled. "Hai."

He smirked. "Not only for that."

She frowned. "Nani?"

"For this!" He let go of her and let her dropped a few
yards, before flying down under her and catching her again.

"Shinji-kun!" She hit him in playfully in the arm.

He laughed. "I asked you to forgive me ahead of
time." Then he smiled. "Want me to do it again?" He teased.

Her eyes went wide, before she grabbed
his shirt tightly and closed her eyes.
"Iie, onegai!"

He blushed furiously as she held
onto him to him so closely and tightly.
"Okay, okay…I won't."

She sighed in relief and looked
down. "It really is beautiful."

"Now as beautiful as you…" Shinji
said, but then caught his mistake.

Meeko looked up in surprise. "N…Nani?"

Shinji blushed. "N…nothing.
Here's your house." He flew down
and gently put her down on the ground.

"Shinji?"

He turned to her. "Hai?"

She quickly kissed him on the
cheek, and ran into the house. Shinji
stood there frozen, and touched his cheek.
I think…koishiteru (Not a typo, it means…) I'm in love…

Makoto walked Akiko home, who for
some reason, was unusually quiet.
"What's the matter?" Makoto
asked.

Akiko looked up shocked, then averted Makoto's amber
gaze, and looked down at the ground again.
"I…have powers too." Was all she
said.

Makoto gasped. "When…when did you find out?"

Akiko sighed. "I saw the woman, from my house that night
the card were scattered…"

"She was there?!" Makoto asked in shock.

Akiko nodded. "I tried to protect Meeko, and something
happened. I discovered my powers…"

Makoto nodded, but didn't pry any
longer. He knew Akiko would have a long
chat with her parents when they got to her house… which was now.

Eriol and Tomoyo were at the
doorsteps…waiting for her. She sighed
and drudged up to them. Makoto wanted
to help, but this was something Akiko was going to have to work out with her
parents on her own. Just like he and
Meeko did. How did being a normal kid
like himself, get mixed up into all of this…

Makoto walked away from the house
when Eriol and Tomoyo took Akiko inside.
He had things of his own to talk over with Meeko, when he got home…they
still had a lot of work ahead of them.

Work…school…he still had
homework!! Makoto started running
home. How did his parents keep their
grades up, with the Clow Cards trying to fail them at every chance!!
