The Journey Begins
Part 4
A few moments after the strange disturbance in the Kinomoto household, the rattling sound of keys being fitted into the lock and turned was heard. The murmurings of a deep baritone voice were answered by a soft husky chuckle. The door opened to reveal the tall figure of Touya Kinomoto and the slight, willowy form of his companion who was juggling two large bags of groceries.
"Tadaima! Here, Yuki let me have that."
"Iie. You're carrying a lot too—I can manage."
Their argument would have continued if not for the sight that greeted them. The living room was a mess. The throw pillows were scattered all over the floor. Some of the picture frames were in danger of falling off and their Otousan's decorative knick-knacks were strewn all over the room. What alarmed Touya further was the sight of Sakura's prized possession ----the Sakura Cards---- were also scattered all over the floor.
"Nani?!! What the hell happened here? SAKURA!!!" Touya frantically looked around for his sister knowing that she was all alone in the house.
Worried brown eyes behind round glasses met another set of desperate brown eyes. Yukito Tsukishiro was silent for a moment—concentrating fiercely before a relieved smile broke over his face.
"Touya, she's okay—I think she's upstairs."
Touya frowned at the gentle, knowing smile on his friend's face.
"Hn, I'm not worried of the kaijuu—I was just thinking of cleaning up this mess that she undoubtedly made with that stuffed animal of hers!"
Yuki refrained from commenting but he couldn't resist giving Touya another teasing smile.
"C'mon—help me fix this mess—k'so— Sakura is definitely fixing dinner tonight."
Yukito's husky chuckle made the tall young man smile a little, the left-over tension from his recent scare slowly draining out of his body. Touya took the bags of groceries from Yukito and dumped them along with the packages he was carrying, just outside the kitchen door. He could hear the faint rattling of dishes inside the kitchen and decided to let Sakura's stuffed al (al (who else would be ransacking the kitchen?) to finish his rummaging before they start playing the "let's-pretend-I-don't-know-who-you really-are" game again.
Yuki and Touya began putting the room into rights in record time. After arranging the throw pillows, various knick-knacks and straightening the picture frames, they started picking up the scattered Sakura Cards ---carefully placing each one inside the open Clow Book on top of the table.
"Hmmmm, strange—." Yuki mumbled under his breath.
Touya looked up from his bent position; the hand reaching for the last Sakura card hovered over the faced-down card.
"Huh?"
Yuki stared at the card he was holding with an intense expression, examining it in minute detail. The card's back looked just like the other Sakura Cards but the front of the card was another matter. He was quite familiar with the said Cards (being one of its guardians) but he was pretty sure that he hadn't seen this one before. The card had the figure of a young boy in a sailor's uniform; he was holding either a staff or a flute in one hand. The roman writings at the bottom of the card read "The Journey."
Touya, curious of his friend's arrested expression, picked up the last card and straightened up, sauntering over to Yuki to take a closer look at the card that bothered his usually calm and collected companion. Unbeknownst to him, the card he was holding was starting to glow—the glow becoming stronger as he approaches his friend. Yuki, still preoccupied with the card he was holding, was also oblivious to the strange light being emitted by the card Touya was clutching in his hand.
Touya slowly bent down to look over his friend's shoulder, still unaware of the mysterious glow. Yukito suddenly looked up as the fine hairs on his arms began to tingle as the magical aura intensified around them.
"What's that?" Touya asked.
Yukito, as if in slow motion, looked over his shoulder and saw Touya's free hand (the one not holding the card) rose and began to descend on his shoulder. While this was happening, he could also feel the card within his grasp heat up and glow.
"—"
Upon contact of Touya's arm on his shoulder, a magical circle burst forth under their feet and emitted a strong golden light sucking them in ---everything around them began whirling and swirling in a confusing kaleidoscope of colors. In the chaos that ensued, Yuki could distinctly hear Keroberos' voice shouting to them to drop the cards and another voice that sounded very much like Sakura screaming their names. All he could do was to wrap his arms around Touya who had grabbed him tightly when the magic circle appeared. The last thing he could think of before darkness descended was:
//Clow's aura—how is it possible—.again?//

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I apologize for not updating for almost a month. I was busy and frankly speaking, quite exhausted (overworked) and in no mood to write anything. Next part will be at Hogwarts—I just needed to get these boys there first, okay? So don't get your panties in a bunch—there will be a lot of H/D in this fic, never fear ^_^.
