Chapter 5: A Watery Encounter
Ki
It hasn't been a week since I discovered Lian's identity as Night Captor, but still, I am still amazed that her family was CardCaptors, like us.
We went to a water aquarium as a class field trip. Lian said, "Isn't this amazing , Ki? We actually have a class field trip without worrying about the Sakura Clow Cards for once."
She still has the Star necklace around her neck, and keep it hidden from her parents, hoping that they don't discovered her secret.
She also informs me that her uncle Tori, already knew that she is Night Captor and he said that he would do anything he can to help us locate the missing cards.
"I am glad too. But we should be on our guard, just in case." I said, as we head inside to check out the aquarium.
"I can't believe how many things were in the aquarium." Amanda said, bringing her camera and Kiro was in her backpack!
"K-Kiro?!?" Lian said, as she pushes the little Guardian as we go into hiding before any of the other students see him.
Lian said, with a stern voice, "Kiro, why you here, I thought you don't want to come on this field trip."
"Well, I was bored, and I just can't get enough with the food!" He replies , as he drools about food, which Lian sighs, "Gee, is food all you think about?"
Suddenly, a voice asks, "Hey, what's going on, you guys?"
We turned to see Johnny who was confused as Kiro hid behind Lian.
Johnny
As much I hate to admit it, I am starting to feel left out. Lian, Ki, and Amanda always hang out together, even though Ki was new to the city.
It feels like they share a secret only they know about, and it seems to be their concern half the time.
"Hey, what's going on, you guys?" I ask them, as Lian, Amanda and Ki were nervous of seeing me as if something was bothering them.
"Johnny! Um, it's nothing to be concern about, honest!" Lian said, sweating nervously as she pushes Ki and Amanda away from being embarrassed.
I sigh as I sat in, as I saw someone giving me a soda, "Are you feeling ok? You seemed distracted."
I turn to the person speaking to me, which turns out to an total surprise, "T-Tori?!? What you doing here in the aquarium?!?"
He said, "This is one of my part-time jobs while I'm in college, Johnny. What's on your mind?"
I sigh, "It just feels weird. Lian , Ki, and Amanda always hang out together, and left me out of something big, like a big secret they know about."
Tori begins to understand how I felt, "You seemed jealous of their friendship. Lian and Amanda been your friends as long you remember, then Ki shows up.
Trust me, I too was jealous when Syaoran starts hanging out with Sakura. It took me a while to attach to the guy, but it turns out he's not a bad person as I thought he would be.
Just try to get to know him better, Johnny."
As I begin to smile, the water of the Aquarium broke out as I was drowning .
Lian
I saw the commotion as Ki said, "No, it can't be a ..."
"It has to be a Sakura Clow Card, it has to be! " Amanda said, as she turns to me, "I'm sorry, but it sounds like Night Captor needs to seal it , even if it is her day off."
"But I can't transform with all these people around, and it would expose my magic." I point out as I tried to look for a place to transform into my alias.
Ki points, "In here!"
I took out my star necklace as I begin to chant out the words to transform, "With key with the star bright, Release the Staff, and release your light!"
The transformation was complete as Ki asks, "What type of card is it?"
I look closer as I saw the spirit form .
"Uh, Kiro, correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the Water Card?" I ask.
The Guardian gulps, "I'm afraid so, Lian. That is one of the Elemental Sakura Clow Cards."
Ki said, "Oh, that's a relief to know what we up against, but how we going to seal it from all of this destruction to the aquarium?"
I thought back of seeing the videos of my mom being a CardCaptor, and capturing the Water Card.
I knew that we have to lure it to the ice freezer.
"Ki, you get Johnny and Tori out of here, I know how to get the card's attention."
The boy asks, "And exactly how you're going to get its attention, Night Captor?"
"By letting it chase after me, of course." I said, replying to the CardCaptor's confused look.
I raised the Fly Card, "Fly Card, help me fly!"
The Staff has wings as Kiro said, "Lian, this is your plan?!?"
I rolled my eyes at the little Guardian, "Kiro, you have to trust me, I know exactly how to seal the Water Card."
Amanda said, pointing to a nearby doorway, " Night Captor, down this way!"
We flew right where the freezer was as Kiro was nervous about my attempt.
"Uh, L-Lian?" He stutters as I raised the Windy Card.
"Windy, come to my aid!" I commanded with the Windy Card, as the Spirit pushes the Water Card into the freezer as Amanda shuts the door .
I sigh with relief as I was exhausted.
"Oh, so you planned this all along! You wanted the Water Card to go to the freezer. It was a trap." Kiro said, as I smiled.
"C'mon, Kiro, you have any doubt? Besides, my mom was a CardCaptor, remember?" I point out as the young guardian sweats, "Yeah, you're right."
Amanda said, "Hey, I think it's time, don't you think?"
We opened the door, as we see the frozen Water Card Spirit.
"Return to where you came, Water!" I said, touching the spirit with my staff as it transforms into a Sakura Clow Card.
"You really pulled it off, Lian. You should be proud of yourself." Kiro said, as I look at the card.
Just then Ki came with Tori, "It seems you sealed the Card, Lian. Awesome work."
Sakura
We came home , to see Lian , wet from her field trip.
Syaoran ask, "Lian, what happened to you at school?"
The girl said, "Uh, the Aquarium offered us to feed some of the animals as a treat. Tori walked me home."
I look at my brother who nod with a nervous tone, "Yeah, I wanted to take her home, it's no big deal since you guys are at work and all."
They hurried to their rooms as I said, "Now that is odd. I wonder what into them lately?"
Syaoran said, "Maybe it's a secret between them. Do you hear that there was an mysterious girl lately? It was on the news, no one knows who she is, but it only happens when something unusual happens."
"Like magic? Nah, it's not possible that the Sakura Clow Cards on the loose. Kiro is with the Sakura Clow Book. It's no way that he has awoken from his slumber, is there?"
My husband cuddles me as he knew I was worried.
Suddenly, an evil cloud came swirling around us as I scream in freight.
"Sakura! " Tori yells as Lian said, "Mom, Dad!"
