The Second Generation
16



Sakura: Last time, we brought home an injured Shinji and
another girl named Hitori. Syaoran: After calling all the parents, a woman appeared. Sakura: It was our children's teacher. Syaoran: They really
need to do better tests on the people they hire to be teachers. Sakura: Anyway,
she attacked and no matter what we did, nothing worked. Syaoran: Spinel
Sun and Keroberus got a few hits, but soon fell as well. Sakura: Now she
has the children and Hitori. Syaoran: But I plan on getting them
back! Just wait and see!



Meeko
slowly opened her eyes and looked around.
She saw they were chained to the wall on a dark cell. Everyone was accounted for. Her brother, Shinji, Akiko, and Hitori were
all chained to the wall besides her.

Makoto.

No
response.

Makoto,
wake up.


Slowly,
Makoto opened his eyes and look sideways at his sister. "Where…where are we?"

Meeko tried
to get free, but the chains only cut into her skin more. "I don't know, demo we have to get out."

Makoto
rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I wasn't
thinking about that." He turned to his
and moved slightly to nudged Akiko awake.
She stirred and opened her eyes.
"Come on. We're breaking out of
here."

Shinji was
already awake and woke up Hitori next to him.
Hitori fought back to tears that threatened to come out of her
eyes. "G…gomennasai. I didn't mean…to involve all of you."

Meeko shook
her head. "You're our friend, and we'll
help you in any way we can."

"Especially
against Madoushi Sensei." Makoto added.
Meeko glared at him.

Hitori
shook her head. "We can't win…She's too
powerful."

Shinji
smiled warmly. "We'll find a way. We always do. You just have to have faith."

Hitori
nodded and slowly smiled. "Arigatou
minna-san. For everything."

A little
later the cell door opened and Madoushi Sensei walked in. "I hope you like your living
conditions." She said with a cold
smiled.

Makoto
shrugged. "Would be nice with a couch
or two."

"Maybe a
window." Meeko added.

Akiko
smiled. "And wonderful curtains to…"

"Silence!" Madoushi bellowed. "You fools have had your fun, now you will pay!"

Shinji
glared at her. "Be careful what you do…
Our parents will be here soon." He knew
it was an empty threat. Their parents
probably had no idea where they were right now, let alone had enough strength
to defeat her.

Madoushi
smiled. "I will just have to get rid of
the reason they'd come here at all."
Everyone gasped and widened their eyes.
Madoushi threw her hands up into the air and formed, what seemed like, a
large black hole, and aimed it at the children.

Meeko's
body slightly shook with fear.
"Iie!!!!"

But it was
too late, Madoushi released the attack, blasting the kids, and pinning them to
the wall.

They
screamed out in pain, until all of them passed out. Their bodies hung there lifelessly, dangling in the chains.

Madoushi
smiled. "Now the ceremony can begin."



Little did
Shinji know, was that the parents did have a plan to find their children and were
following out with it at that same moment.


Syaoran and
the others felt their children's aura's become distorted and disrupted. That was when Syaoran couldn't wait any
longer. He pulled out his trusty
lasenboard. "Source of light with
ancient spin. Send forth the magic
power within. Oracles of gold, wood,
water, fire, earth, clouds, wind, rain, and electricity. Force knew my plight, release the
light!!" The lasenboard came to life
and shot out a blue light towards where the children were being held
prisoner. "Let's go!" He ran off, Sakura on his heels, and
everyone else right behind them.

Everyone
else, but Tomoyo, that is. Upon request
from Eriol, Sakura had used the Sleep on Tomoyo, and she was now fast asleep at
home. Eriol didn't want to have to
worry about his wife being hurt, as well as his daughter. As Eriol ran after Syaoran, he mentally
prayed. Please be okay, Akiko, and
everyone else. For the love of
Kami-sama, don't take them away from me.




This time,
Akiko was the first to awaken. She took
one look around and screamed. The
scream brought up everyone's attention.
Meeko opened her eyes and gasped at the site before her.

Hitori was
unconsciously hanging on what was similar to an American cross, but slightly
different, with the tips splitting into three spikes.

Shinji
narrowed his eyes. "Hitori! Wake up!"


Hitori
stirred and slowly opened her eyes. She
looked around, fear taken hold.
"Oh…no…she…"

"Oh yes I
would." Madoushi said out of
nowhere. The children saw Madoushi come
out the shadows, holding a large magic book in her hand. "I will, right in front of everyone."

Hitori
shook her head, tears coming out once more.
"Please don't…I…"

"You had
your chance!" Madoushi yelled back.

Makoto
frowned. "What is she talking about?"

Shinji saw
the cover of the book and remembered something his father, while Yue, had told
him.



Yue sat next to his son and
handed him a transcript. "The time will
come when you will have to face the person who created this magic. It is black magic, completely opposite from
Clow Reed's magic."


Shinji
nodded. "Why show this to me now?"


Yue
looked up at the sky. "I sense the Clow
Cards have once again been scattered.
That is why we are going to Japan.
This person has also sensed it and will prepare to unleash dark forces,
which until now have been sealed away.
She will use powerful subjects to break the seal. That is why you must stop it. In case none of us adult can be there."


Shinji
nodded and stared at the symbol…he wondered…when will I have to face this?




Shinji
saw the exact same symbol on the cover of the book. He gasped. "No! You can't!"

Madoushi
laughed. "Oh, but I can. Hitori here will be my poor servant, like
she has been this whole time."

Meeko
frowned. "What is she talking
about?" She asked Hitori.

Madoushi
smiled. "Oh, you haven't told
them?" Hitori closed her eyes. "She is not my daughter." She told the kids. "I created her. I used
her. She was the one who unleashed the
Silent and the Lock. She was there when
I released Cloud, Thunder, and Wave upon this city."

Everyone
gasped. Hitori looked up. "I didn't want to! She made me!"

Meeko
looked at her unbelievingly. Shinji
narrowed his eyes. "And you plan to use
the descendants of Clow to break the seal."

Madoushi
smiled. "Very good, young one. I might find alternate use for you."

She opened
the book and it floated in front of her.
She began to read the passage in Japanese, the incantation…to
unlocking the evil below.



Chikara no shiranai

Hakai suru ano raito…



(Powers of darkness)

(Destroy the light…)





Syaoran
pulled out his sword outside the area he felt the children being held. Something wrong was happening. Sakura pulled
out her card. "Through Card!" Through Card made a hole in the side of the
wall, where they felt the children the strongest.

Ruby Moon
smiled. "Better than using the front
door."

Yue came
forth. "Matte."

Syaoran
frowned.

Yue turned
to Eriol. "It has begun…"

Eriol
nodded. "We must fill you guys in on
what you're about to see if we cannot stop this…"



Hitori
struggled as Madoushi continued the second half on the incantation…





Ni kazen soshite
kaeru

To issho ni subete
jigoku chikara!



(To complete and
transform)

(With all Hell's
might!)



The ground
in the center of the room began to shake and black beams busted out of the
ground. Two shot at Meeko and Makoto,
making them cry out in pain. A third
shot at Hitori, also making her scream.

"Iie!" Shinji cried, pulling at the bonds, cutting
more into his skin, but not getting any closer to being freed.

Suddenly,
out of the side, came the adults.
Sakura, Yue, and Ruby Moon, came in through the air. Syaoran came in, surprisingly riding
Keroberus, and Eriol, riding Spinel Sun.
They stopped dead in their tracks when they saw what happened next.

Hitori
began to change. Her eyes went from
bright green, to pure black, with red pupils.
She stopped screaming and began to laugh with a hellish voice. "Yes!
Yes! I am free!"

Madoushi
smiled and opened her hands. "I,
Madoushi have freed you! You will serve
me and destroy my enemies!!"

Hitori
smiled evilly and pulled her arms forth, easily breaking the chains. Though instead of falling onto the ground,
she floated in the air.

The black beams
that hit Meeko and Makoto had stopped, leaving them unconscious. Syaoran growled. "Let's move!"

Sakura and
Ruby Moon flew to the children, while everyone went after Hitori. Shinji yelled. "No! Don't hurt her!"

Yue turned
to his son. "She is not who she was
anymore!"

"Don't hurt
her!" Shinji insisted.

Eriol
nodded. "The transformation can be
reversed, but for now we have to help the children escape!"

Syaoran
went after Madoushi, who as trying to sneak quietly away. "Force know my plight! Release the light!" Hit attack hit it's mark, and Madoushi fell to the ground,
weakened from casting the spell earlier.

Yue
attacked Hitori with his white crystals, which she easily dodges and threw a
fireball at him, making him dive to the side.

Eriol fed
power into Spinel Sun, blasting Hitori with a powerful red beam. She went flying and hit one of the spikes,
it went through her back, and out her stomach.

Sakura and
Ruby freed the children, though Shinji refused to let go of Meeko. He held her limp body in his arms. Sakura held Makoto, while Ruby Moon held
Akiko.

"We have to
get out of here!" Sakura called
out. She and the others made their
getaway, while Yue and Syaoran made sure Hitori was…gone.

Suddenly,
Hitori's head shot up, and she laughed.
She floated forward, coming off of the spike, and before their eyes, her
wound healed.

Syaoran
attacked with his lightning, but it didn't work. Keroberus tried, bit his flame sputtered out as it hit her
skin. Syaoran's eyes widened. "We are going…NOW!"

Keroberus
needed no more encouragement. He turned
around, Yue leaving with him. When they
were out, Yue used his attack and sealed up the hole. They were safe for now.



Back at
home, Meeko lay in bed, looking out of the window. Thanks to some quick healing from her parents, she and Makoto
were fine. But Meeko still wondered
about Hitori. Would they be able to
save her? Or was she doomed to live a
life that was not her own. She did not
choose to be evil, he mother… no her creator force it on her. Meeko sighed and silently prayed they'd have
enough strength to bring in the remaining Clow Cards, and save their friend.



Eriol sat
with the rest of the adults in the living room. "What has happened had been foretold. We tried to prevent it, but it occurred anyway. Now the rules have changed. We must side our children in bringing in the
rest of the Clow Cards and focus on this new enemy at the same time."

Yue
nodded. "We must find the spell that
will reverse the transformation for the girl."

Ruby Moon
nodded. "It must be hidden somewhere."

Sakura
frowned. "Would we be able to sense
it."

Eriol shook
his head. "We will not be able
to…demo…"

"Our
children might." Syaoran caught on.

Kero in the
center of the table, snacking on pastries with Suppi, snorted. "The brat finally figured it out."

Syaoran
growled. "What did you say, stuffed
toy!?"

Kero glared
at him. "You heard mrhprh…" Suppi
stuffed his face with another treat and sighed.

"There…much
more quieter."

That made
everyone burst out laughing. Though the
future seemed dim, they would find a way, with the help of their children, of
course.
