Stuck in a maze
by: lily
Hello!
I'm soooooooooooo sorry iy took so long! I apologize to all of you. The story
must go on... even if I have 4-hours-long math assignment and 3 reports to
do in one week in my French class... I'm so tired! It's boring too! I'll
write more often, I promise.
My reviewers thanks go to: (God, it's been a so long time!)

And my special hello is for: ~*Baby Blue~* !!! Your reviews worth at least 5
special hello! It's the biggest number of special hello that I ever gave!
Did you ever realized how many new authors are there since a month or so?
There is SO many! Ok, I'm one of them in one way but I'm there as a reader
since very very long and I think this is the moment when so many new authors
pop up! It's great, I mean, originality when there is many different people is
increase but, ya know, it's tough to read them all! (^_^) When I came to FFN,
I wanted to read all the fanfics on CCS. It was working pretty good, those days
I read over 600 fanfics but now that there is many authors, it's tough! I
stopped reading fanfic at that rate since I start being an author. I would
like to start over but there is too many! What I mean is, ... ok I'll give
ya an example:
6-8 months ago: about 50 new fanfics were added each week
Today: about 200-300 new fanfics are added each week
Ya understand now? I read fanfic each day but not as many as I read 6-8 months
ago...
On with my fic, if some people find the time to read it...

(In the underground world...)
They were going in the direction Syaoran was pointing, the East. He sensed
life being that way so they decided to go check it out. They were walking since
half an hour or so, and they still didn't find anything.
"Are you sure there's life to the East?" Meiling asked
She wasn't annoyed at this time, (and wasn't annoying too -> it deserves a
medal, no?) she was just tired of walking.
"Yeah, just follow me, were not too far from it now" Syaoran replied
"I feel it too" Sakura said "It's near but it doesn't seem aggressive tough..."
Syaoran and Sakura, holding hands, started walking faster in that maze. They
were in the front when Meiling and Tomoyo were behind them.
"Tomoyo! Tomoyo!" Meiling whispered "Please Tomoyo! Listen to me!"
"What's happening Meiling-chan?" Tomoyo asked with concern
"It's... I don't know how to describe what I feel right now... It's like...
I don't know how to say..." Meiling started
"You have a weird feeling, hey? Me too. The difference is that I know what it
is. It's your powers Meiling-chan. I knew that I had powers since a while but
I didn't say it to that witch because I didn't want her to know that I knew
it. Understood?" Tomoyo asked
"Yeah, I think. It drains my energy... I feel like I'm gonna past out at any
moment..." Meiling said
Tomoyo saw that she was not feeling good. Meiling's face was pale. Tomoyo
wanted to become a doctor so she knew when somebody was not feeling good. She
also had special powers in that cathegory: medicine.
"Can we please stop one second? I think Meiling will not pass through this if
we continue..." Tomoyo said
"Yeah, we'll take a break" Sakura said
"She's not feeling good, you say? She seem ok to me..." Syaoran said
"It's because you don't see that type of disease. You don't see 'magic
diseases'. But I do" Tomoyo said
"You have magical powers?" Syaoran asked
"Yep. I knew that since a long time but I wasn't able to use them. I didn't
remember how. But now, I remember. I don't know how I remembered that, I
don't know when I remembered it: the only thing I know is that I didn't
knew how to use them before, and now I know"
"It's me who discovered that she had magic powers" Sakura said "I was doing
a reading with the Sakura cards and the reading said: 'The friendship is strong
but yours is stronger because yours has magic' I asked kero-chan what it meaned
and he said..." Sakura didn't had the time to finish what she was saying when
her bag moved
"What's that?" A not strong, and now very scared Meiling said (A.N. ok, if
some of you don't remember, in this story Meiling is a cool girl and she
don't care that S+S are together, she's happy for them.)
"I don't know!" Sakura replied
Suddenly, her bag openned up and:
"Hiya everybody!!!"
"KERO!!!" they all said *sweatdrop* *anime fall*
"*yamn* What's for breakfast?" he said
"There's no breakfast stuffed animal, there's no nothing! Were stuck in there!
...And it's not a joke!" Syaoran said
Becoming a little more serious, Kero said:
"Where are we and why are we in here?"
"We're trap by a witch in an underground world..." Sakura said
"Do you know the witch name? I knew someone crazy in Clow Reed's time... I
just hope it's not her"
"Don't know" Li, Sakura and Tomoyo said
"I know something..." Meiling said. She was very weak now. She didn't have
enough power to talk normally.
"What? Everything would be better than nothing! We have to know who she is
before anything!"Kero said
"Her name is Cassilyanne..." She manage to say
"I don't know her..." Kero said
"She has a pet rat... named Karine" Meiling finished
"I do know her...and, believe me, she's worst than the first one I talked
about. This woman's crazy! She's powerful enough to make the Earth stop
turning ya know!"
"And what do WE have?" Li said
"You. All 3 of you." Kero said pointing to Li, Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Ahem! All FOUR of us" Tomoyo said. "Meiling has powers, but she didn't knew
it since today so she suffers from a magical disease called 'adictrojoshia'.
It means that she suffers from the inside, because her powers are showing
up all at the same time. She need to rest"
"I knew that you had powers but I didn't knew Meiling had some too..." Kero
said
"She have some. And that's what the witch wants. The powers of the 4 of us."
Sakura said to the tiny creature
"Oh No....that is the worst that could have happened. It was written in a old
magical book that someday, a witch would want the powers of the 4 elements.
The four elements would been send by a powerful sorcerer into 4 other forms.
4 other human forms that will already have some magical powers. It seems that
YOU are the 4 elements. The only thing is that you're by 5 time more powerful
than the element you are, or let's say, you were in another life."
"Why?" Tomoyo saked
"You have an element inside of you. Each of you have one. But you also have
a special knowledge, in addition of your advanced magical knowledge. You know
more magic than the 4 elements knew. And you have another special knowledge.
You also have a special power, other than magic by itself. Something even magic
could not do. "
"What? How do we know what's our special knowledge and what's our special
power?" Li asked
"The power and the knowledge are not the same thing in that case. Those are
different thing" Kero said "We'll have to discover by ourselves what are they,
for each one of you. But we'll have to think very hard, and fast."
"I know mine" Tomoyo said
"What do you think it is? I know all the powers you can have, I just don't
know who as which one so tell me and we'll see" Kero said
"My special knowledge is medicine. In that case, can my special ability could
be to cure someone?" Tomoyo asked
"No. You're right for one thing tough, you have the medicine knowledge. It's
somebody else who will be able to cure someone." Kero said
"I don't understand anything that you say, fluffie, so explain further" Li said
And here they go! A glaring contest started... but it didn't last very long
because...
"Like that? Curing someone like that?" Sakura asked
"What?" The 2 boys asked
"I just touched meiling's forehead with 4 fingers and a pink beam shot right
into her head. She was glowing with it... and now, she's fine. See?" Sakura
said pointing at Meiling
Meiling was up and was chatting loudly with Tomoyo. She was fine and full of
energy again.
"So I guess we found the curing ability" Kero said
"Come here everybody!" he yelled for attention
They all sat in circle on the cold rock where they were.
"Let's look at what we have now, before starting the toughest quest of all
your life." Kero said
"Ok" he added "Tomoyo have the medicine knowledge. Sakura have the curing
ability. One thing done. 3 more to go. It's better than I thought it would be
but we don't have any spare time so we better hurry up to know what the 3
other are."
"You said 'one down, three more to go' but it's 2 down, 4 more to go, no?"
Meiling asked
"If you take that in that way, yes. But, as you saw, an ability and a knowledge
go together. Medicine and curing are about the same thing: against diseases
so each and every of the ability and the knowledge we have to find goes
together." Kero said
"You said you know all of them. Just tell us and we'll see who has what" Li
said
"Not that easy, kid. I have a special nerve in my mind to detect the ability
and the knowledge. You say you have a knowledge and if you're right the nerve
activate. I don't know what the ability and the knowledge are before you tell
it to me."
"We'll find out right now. We'll take a break and think very hard of what we
are and all that kind of stuff." Sakura said
"No, we must not. We'll not be able to find anything in that way. When we'll
have the time to do that we'll do it. What I mean is, if we try too hard to
find something, we'll not find it. So, if you thought about that, for
example, when you're alone, when you're about to sleep or something like that,
it might just pop up in your mind but nothing else." Li said
"We'll play a game." Kero said
"A game? You want to play a game in time like that?!?" Li asked confused
"You'll see which game it is and I promise that you'll be eager to play it..."
kero said with a big grin on his tiny face, his black dot eyes lightened by
the thought of that game...

What d'ya think?
I know it's not a place to end a chapter and I also know that it is not
long. I wanted to do a long chapter but, ya know, it's not as easy as it
seems to be, when you're at home with your family... "Lily! Come here please!"
"You didn't clean up your room Lily!" "Lily!!! Help me please!" (nearly
crying) "I bet you didn't hear that joke before Lily. It's the story of a man
who....blah blah blah"
My room is always clean
I heard that joke 22 time already
My brother is able to do that puzzle and
My mother is able to do the supper by herself BUT
I must be there for them...
Even is my room is always clean like Mr Net's one
Even if that joke is 60-years-old
Even if the puzzle is with 9 pieces and my brother is 10-years-old
Even if my mother will do again the things I did for her because it's not done
her way
I must do all those things!
So I ended there... Ah! Family!
