Chapter 7

The Other Realm

Li "You ok?"

Sakura "What? Oh of course."

Li "Here's your card."

He hand it to her.

Sakura "Thanks."

Li "Want me to take you home?"

Li blushed as he asked.

Sakura "Sure."

He helps her up. She blushes as well.

Sakura "You know. My brother said he's going to help my dad in his reaserch.

So mostly I'm gonna be home alone most of the time."

Li "O.k."

In Sakura's house

Sakura "I can't believe it" ~ why can't Li, Yue and Keroberus defeat a monster just like that?  I think whenever we are in a battle I should give some of my powers to them like when they gave me their magic as I was battling Eli. ~

Yue "Is there something wrong Mistress?"

Sakura "No It's just about something that happened today."

Keroberus "Mistress?"

Sakura "Yes Keroberus?"

Keroberus "I was wondering how was your mother like?"

Sakura "I'm not so sure because she died when I was very young. Although I know she taught my brother the piano and she was an extremely kind person that loves to sleep. I miss her very much."

Keroberus "Clow Reed was like a father to us."

Sakura nods her head.

Sakura "Why don't you two get some sleep?"

They agreed. Yue went to Tori's room and Keroberus laid down on the carpet.  

Sakura "Wha What is this place?"

There were whirlpools in between white poles. Each one was a different color. Red, yellow, green, blue and black. The platform she was on looked like a circle with stairs going up. Kagi came and put a colorful gem in the middle of the five portals. The portals whirlpools started to swirl together like one gigantic whirlpool. Then a boy came forth in front of the huge portal. He was held by the shadows and his face is well hidden by a piece of cloth.

Akum "Throw him in."

The cloth was taken off.  He was pushed in.

Sakura gasped for air when she woke up.

Sakura "Oh It was only a dream."

Morning

Sakura "Hi Keroberus."

Keroberus "Well you're up early."

Sakura "Yeah I know It's like the first time I ever did in a year."

Yue comes down.

Sakura "Good morning Yue Would you mind if you can turn into Julian so he can eat?"

He nods his head and turns into Julian.

Sakura "Hi Julian."

Julian "Oh hi Sakura."

Julian looks at Keroberus.

Julian "Oh wow is this Kero?"

Keroberus "Yup that's me Why not join us?"

Julian "Thanks."

He starts eating. ~ Wow!  Julian can sure eat. ~ The phone rings, she picks

it up.

Sakura "Hello?  Tori!  yeah uh ok See ya there."

Keroberus "What did the your brother say?"

Sakura "You can do anything you want here but don't go anywhere. I'm going out for a while."

In the park

Sakura "Tori I'm givein' you back what you deserve."

Tori "I'm gonna need it and use it to help you just in case you're in trouble."

Sakura "Ok."

A fog goes around the two. She gets out her master staff.

Tori "And when did you get that?"

Sakura "My guardians left some of their magic in my staff. Now stand still."

A blue streak goes around him and disappears.

Sakura "Ok your powers are restored and you can see into the spirit world once again. Remember to tell mom hello when you see her."

Tori "Thanks squirt."

His cellular phone rings.

Tori "Hello? Hi dad yeah she's doing fine ok I'm coming."

He turns it off and knells by Sakura.

Tori "Dad told me to go to England as fast as I can because he need help in

finding the mysteries to one of the oldest castles since there are odd

scientific activities going on and he thinks they are ghost."

He puts something in her hand.

Tori "I found this item in one of the castles and I need you to look in dads library and do research in it Anyway can you do me a favor and transport me there?" Sakura nods her head.

Tori "See ya."

She uses the move card.

Li "So you gave your brother back his magic? Right?"

Sakura "Yeah. So what?"

Li "I was just passing by going to think about our plan."

Sakura "Uh Li?"

Li "Yeah?"

Sakura "I had a dream that, you would disappear and please be careful in what might be behind you."

A crack was heard in the woods.

Li "Who's there?"

A dark mist comes out of the forest and surrounds the two. Coughing hard they faint.

In a castle

Sakura wakes up. Chained on the wall she sees her friend on a platform. Below there were portals the colors are red, yellow, green, blue and black. ~ Oh no the dream. ~ Akum "Good you are just in time to watch."

A colorful gem appears in Akum's hand and he throws it into the middle, which had a hole that just fits in. The floor began to shake. Then the portals entrances start to combine, making a whirlpool like portal.

Akum "Throw him in."

He tries struggling out of his chains. Sakura tries doing the same and was successful with one arm.

Li "Fire!"

The chains melt. Akum takes Li's arm twist it.

Akum "Here's your last day of living warrior Any last words?"

Li "Take this bastard! Lighting!"

It shocks him but Akum managed to still shove him into the portal.

Sakura "Li!!!"

She frees herself from the chains.

Akum "Get the witch!"

His shadow warriors surround her. All of them charge at the same time. Sakura

"Jump."

In the air Sakura uses the shot. The white blast causes an explosion. Going down she kicks Akum and does a back flip. More Shadow warriors appear behind him.

Akum "Go."

They attack her. Dodging and fighting back Sakura lets another blast come out of her staff. Akum hits her with a dark blast. Sakura was hit to the wall. He was about to trap her and drain her magic into a crystal.

Yue "Mistress!"

Keroberus and Yue shot him with all their strength. The two shoots at Akum and escapes with her.

In Another dimension

Sakura "Clow Reed!  Where are you?"

He appears next to her.

Sakura "Clow Reed do you know all of the portals in Akum's castle?"

Clow "Yes Of course."

Sakura "Can you get my friend Li back to Readington?"

Clow "Yes."

Sakura "Thanks."

Clow "But Sakura let me remind you There will be a full moon tomorrow night and if I don't get the gem of the ultimate portal before sunset tomorrow Li will never get out of the portal He will stay there forever."

Sakura "I'll get the gem as soon as possible."

Clow "You should rest now and don't worry It's closer that you think."

At Sakura's House

Yue "We should give the Mistress some rest Keroberus."

Keroberus "Yes, that blast knocked her unconscious."

Yue puts Sakura on her bed and covers her with a blanket from foot to the neck.

Keroberus "Yue I found this when we came in the castle Do you think it will be useful?"

Yue "That's a possibility Maybe the Mistress can figure it out. She's full of ideas." Keroberus "Lets get some rest."
