The End Chapter 4- The Surprise Visit
Written by Sakura Showron
"Yeah, they are. Kero, the card didn't change!" said Sakura, looking at the giant lion.
"I know. What does this then really mean?" he looked at Eli.
"As for that I have no idea." said Eli helplessly. "We know that something that I have not experienced, and then neither have any of you, for that matter, is about to happen. But, this did not appear when I saw."
"Hold on. Does this mean we have no idea what Sakura is up against?" said Li, then, realizing that this sort of betrayed his feelings, he quickly said, "Because I'm going to end up being there too." Realizing this had dug him into a deeper hole, he turned red and ran out of the room. Sakura and the others looked at him go confused, but Madison smiled to herself.
"Perhaps if you looked at the cards left?" said a voice. Everyone turned around to see who it was.
"Miss- McKenzie?" said Sakura uncertainly, "Is that you?"
"Yes." said a tall brown- haired lady as she walked into the room, "I felt the magic, and all of the auras that surround you, and I couldn't resist. But more importantly, look at the cards left." She motioned to the Libra and Sakura's purse. Eli said "Hm." And walked over to take a look. As he looked, everyone crowded around Eli. Sakura came too. As she stepped into the circle, she could feel that magic around her. It felt so... full of life, so energetic. She felt that if she could just stay here all the time, things would be perfect. Li joined the group, and Sakura felt the feeling get so strong she felt as if she was going to burst. Suddenly, she felt not tired anymore. At that exact same moment, everyone in the room backed away from her and went as far away as they could get. Sakura immediately felt weak again.
"What's up?" she asked them all. They all looked uncomfortably at Sakura. Eli finally spoke up.
"Sakura, were you, um, taking our magic?" he said, looking at her.
"What?!" she said, "Of course not! How could I?" Sakura replied, giving Eli the look.
"I- we all, I vouch, felt someone take our magic, or feed off it, someone who felt like you." said Eli.
"But I didn't! I don't even know how to! And besides, if I did, why would I?"
"Wait. She doesn't." said Keroberos, stepping in front of Eli. "That is magic of a much higher level. Besides, Sakura would never do anything that mean."
"That must mean she is getting so weak that her body automatically drained magic from the surrounding area. This is not good. Something must be done, and fast." said Yue, looking concerned.
Finally Sakura couldn't stand it anymore.
"You guys, tell me what's going on! I'm the Master of the Clow, its got to do with me, TELL ME!" she said. Looking at the group, Eriol stepped forward. As he was about to open his mouth, Li caused a diversion and fell down. Sakura was just in time to catch him.
"Oh no, Li fainted! Quick, splash some cold water on his face!" said Madison, forgetting what Sakura's instincts would do. Quick as a flash, Sakura pulled out Watery.
"Watery! Wet Li!"
A full jet of freezing cold water hit Li right in the face. With a moan he opened his eyes.
"Sakura? Did you go mad?" he said, disbelief on his face.
"Sorry!" said Sakura, "My instincts are too strong! It's been about 2 years now! Are you all right?"
"Yes, I think, if Watery hasn't killed me." said Li, moaning again, "I just had such a bad headache, I passed out."
"Now that you come say it, my head is hurting a ton too. I think you'd better go lie down. We can continue our talk in another room." He added, seeing Sakura's face.

"Are you feeling okay?" said Madison to Eli, who was lying down on a sofa, trying to swallow the pills Madison had insisted on bringing.
"I'm fine." he said, "But these pills will not work! This is a magical headache! Whatever. Now to business. Our 4 guardians can sense something. Layla can feel something. Our magician and I can feel something strong and are receiving headaches. But our Clow Mistress."
"I'm feeling same as usual. No headaches, no nothing. Just weird dreams." Sakura said.
"No!" said Madison, "There is something more! Since you guys started to get the headaches, I've noticed you haven't been tired at all! Is she feeding off of this magic force field thingy?"
"That is most likely. Now everything is falling into place. We all are felling or sensing something, like a magic aura/force field. Sakura is feeding off of it, since she needs lots of energy, but it is giving Li and I headaches. And the cause must be, I have no idea. He put his head back on the pillow, wincing. Ms. McKenzie was about to say something, but got interrupted by Julian walking into the room.
Catching sight of everyone assembled, he said, "Um, am I missing something here?" To Be Continued...
