Tomoyo's Wish 2

By: Akira
  Author's note:
        Well, the second part of Tomoyo's Wish is finally finished! I started taking requests from my readers and I decided to make the story longer than the first one. Now when you read this, I admit I used some scenes from movies like Valentine, Little Vampire and NYPD Blue. But DON'T SUE ME! I don't own anything! Heck, I don't even own my own car yet! I have to use my parent's car still, so leave me alone! But, overall I hope you enjoy the story.
_________________________________________________________

It was morning and it was Tomoyo's last day in England with Eriol. After that romantic night with Eriol, he showed her all the sights, took her out for dinner, danced and he even took her shopping! (What a mistake that was!) But now, she's going to leave all her happiness behind.

Eriol (lightly shaking her): Tomoyo. Tomoyo, its morning. Wake up.

Tomoyo slowly wakes up and she looks out the window and watches the sun rise. She wished that the sun wouldn't come up at all. She hated it. At that thought, a tear rolled down her cheek. Eriol understood and held her in his arms and hugged her. More tears ran down her delicate face.
Then, they got ready and Eriol drove Tomoyo to the airport...

P.A System: Attention all passengers. Flight 596 to Tokyo, Japan is now boarding. Repeat. Flight 596 to Tokyo, Japan is now boarding.
Tomoyo: Well, that's my flight. Promise to keep in touch everyday okay?
Eriol: Of course. I'll e-mail you at least once a day. I'm really going to miss you.
Tomoyo: I'll miss you a lot too.

Tears started forming in her eyes again.

Eriol: Tomoyo?
Tomoyo: I'm sorry. I'm always crying. I promised myself that I would leave here with a smile.

Eriol comforted her with a hug.

Eriol: Tell you what. How about I go with you to Tokyo?
Tomoyo: But my flight is leaving.
Eriol: There's always the next flight right?
Tomoyo: You're right. Oh! You're the best!

Tomoyo gave Eriol a great big hug and they rushed to the ticket lines. Tomoyo called Sakura on her cell phone and informed her that she will be taking the next flight. Finally three hours later, they got on their flight to Tokyo. Then 3 more hours later, they arrived at the Tokyo airport. Two figures came running toward the couple from out of the bustling crowd. It was Li and Sakura.

Sakura: Hey Tomoyo! It's about time you arrived!
Li: Hey! Who's that behind you?
Sakura: Hey! Is that-
Tomoyo: Yes. Everyone, meet Eriol.
Eriol: Hey.
Li: Are you still crazy?
Eriol: No. The curse left me after you two transformed the Light and Dark Card together. But Ruby and Spinner still live with me.
Sakura: You actually bought a ticket to escort her here?
Eriol: I'll do anything for Tomoyo.
Sakura (looking at Tomoyo): Oooh! I feel sexual attention in the air. Heeheehee.
Li (embarrassed): Sakura! People are staring!
Eriol: Well. I'd better be going now. My flight back home leaves in five minutes.

The new couple hugged for the last time and promised to keep in touch. Finally, Tomoyo reached home.

Tomoyo: Mother! I'm home!
Sonomi: Tomoyo! I'm in the dining room!

Tomoyo entered the dining room and she saw her mother sitting at the dining table. She looked kind of anxious.

Tomoyo: Hi mother.
Sonomi: How was your trip?
Tomoyo: I had a really great time. Here. I got my photos developed on the way home.

Tomoyo laid her photos on the table and Sonomi looked through them. Then Sonomi came across a picture of Eriol and Tomoyo.

Sonomi: Oh. Who's this?
Tomoyo (blushing): That's my new boyfriend; Eriol. He's my old classmate from the fourth grade.
Sonomi: And he's British?
Tomoyo: Yeah. I stayed at his place and he showed me all the sights.
Sonomi: Well, I can't allow you to be with him anymore. He's British for God's sakes!
Tomoyo: Why not? What do you have against British people?
Sonomi: Your father was English!
Tomoyo: My father?
Sonomi: Well, I was going to tell you about your father when you turned 18, but this is a good a time as any. But, I met your father on a luxury cruise to the Canary Islands and your father was the captain's son. He showed me around the ship and I guess we kind of clicked. Then after we got married and had you, your father was really into his business and it was all he could talk about. Then months later, I found out he was with another woman and he received a promotion in another country, so he packed up his things and left without a word, leaving me with you.
Tomoyo: I understand how you feel, but that doesn't mean that all British people are that way.
Sonomi: Well, I'm not willing to take that chance.
Tomoyo: But mom!
Sonomi: There will be no more discussions about this matter anymore. Now unpack and go to bed! You have school in the morning.

Tomoyo slowly walked up to her room and cried softy on her pillow.
The next morning, she poured everything out to Sakura and Li.

Sakura: That's awful.
Li: Yeah. I mean, talk about prejudice. But I understand how your mother feels.
Sakura: Have you tried talking to your mother or at least reasoning?
Tomoyo: This morning when I tried to talk to her, she just ran out to the car and didn't say a word.
Sakura: Wow. Talk about emotional.
Zachary: Hey Tomoyo. Did you hear the great news?
Tomoyo: What news?
Zachary: Oh never mind. You'll find out later. Heeheehee. (walks away)
Sakura: Ooookay. What was that all about?
Tomoyo: I have no idea.

Tomoyo struggled through school. It seemed like days until the final bell rang to go home. She walked slowly home. She watched Li and Sakura hold hands as Li walked Sakura home. And as usual, she watched Tori chase Li down the street. Hehe...this time with a hammer. Then she finally reached home.

Tomoyo: I'm home. I'll be in my room.
Sonomi: Tomoyo! Can you come here?
Tomoyo: What is it mother?
Sonomi: I have a surprise for you.
Sonomi (talking to the maid): You can bring him in now.
Sonomi: Tomoyo, I'd like to introduce you to your future husband.
Zachary: Hi Tomoyo! Surprised my sugar cookie?
Tomoyo: Uh...this is the big surprise?
Sonomi: Oh good! You both already know each other. See Tomoyo? Zachary here is going to take over my toy company when I retire. And he's smart too!
Zachary: Research shows that people who own their own business make more money than an average medical career.
Tomoyo: Uh...can I go to my room now?
Sonomi: Of course honey. Oh, and by the way, you can go home too now Zachary.
Zachary: Yes future mother-in-law!

Tomoyo quietly walked upstairs to her room and shut the door behind her. She lay on her pillow and tears came running down her eyes once more. That night, she was on her computer checking her e-mail. She wrote to Eriol about what has happened...

My Dearest Eriol,
A lot has changed in my life since I came home from the airport. I told my mother about you and I'm afraid I can't be with you anymore because my mother has a grudge against British people. Apparently, my father, who left my mother for another woman and left my mother with nothing. To out it simply, she's prejudice. God! Why do I have to have such harsh parents?! I tried reasoning with her, but she doesn't really like to talk about it. I hope I can work something out with her.
Another change just occurred today. This is going to sound weird, but since my mother didn't want me to be with you so much, she signed papers for an arranged marriage which out of all the men in the world.... ZACHARY! I think my life is over! Well, write back as soon as you can.
Yours Forever,
Tomoyo Daidouji

By the time Tomoyo got to school the next day, the news spread like a swarm of locusts. Sakura ran up to Tomoyo...

Sakura: Tomoyo! Is it true? That you're going to marry Zachary?
Tomoyo: (sigh) Yes, its true. My mother says that he will take over her company when she retires. My life is over!
Sakura: Come on. It can't be that bad.
Student: Look! There's the bride to be! (laughs out loud and runs off)
Tomoyo: Oh really?
Sakura: I'm sure it will pass.
Chelsea: Tomoyo! How dare you propose to Zachary behind my back!
Tomoyo: It wasn't my fault! My mother set us up!
Chelsea: Yeah right Tomoyo! You know that Zachary has been my boyfriend since kindergarten! How could you?
Tomoyo: But Chelsea, I-
Chelsea: I'm not your friend anymore! (walks away)

During lunch...

Zachary: Oh there you are my sugar cookie! (Hugs Tomoyo)
Tomoyo: Uh...Zachary?
Zachary: Yes my love?
Tomoyo: Can I talk to you for a minute?
Tomoyo drags Zachary behind the dumpster...

Tomoyo: Zachary! Why are you telling the whole school about the wedding?
Zachary: What's wrong with that?
Tomoyo: People are pointing and teasing me behind my back and Chelsea won't be my friend anymore!
Zachary: But we're partners in life! You're my sugar cookie!
Tomoyo (traumatized): Well you don't have to yell it out to the world!
Zachary: But aren't you happy? This is a joyous occasion! We are to be wed!
Tomoyo: The truth is... I really don't love you. Marriage is supposed to be two people who love each other very much and spend the rest of their lives together.
Zachary (shocked): But...I love you.
Tomoyo: Really? Seriously?
Zachary: Of course! Which reminds me...you want to see the shrine I've dedicated to you?
Tomoyo: A SHRINE?!
Zachary: Yeah! I even have one of Sakura, Chelsea, Rita, and Nikki...(trails off)

Tomoyo gets really annoyed and knocks him on the head and attempts to run off. Zachary grabs her arm and he kisses her passionately. After Tomoyo ran out of air, he let her go.

Zachary: Are you sure you don't love me?
Tomoyo stared at Zachary in disgust.

Tomoyo: Not even a kiss will convince me to even consider you a friend anymore.

Then she stomped off to find Sakura and Li.
Eventually, the school day ends once again and she arrives home feeling really mad about what happened during lunch, until she reaches her room...
The room was dark, so Tomoyo turned on the light to find Zachary...in her bed...NUDE! Tomoyo lets out a short "Eeek!"

Zachary: You must be tired. Come to bed my love (patting the pillow next to him)
Tomoyo: Zachary! When will you accept the fact that I DON'T LOVE YOU!!!
Zachary: Well...okay. But the least I can do to make up for all this is to get you some "refreshments" from the kitchen.
Tomoyo: I guess there's no harm in that.
Zachary: I shall go at once my love!

He puts on a robe (strangely Tomoyo's robe) and runs to kitchen. After a minute, actually not even a minute, Zachary runs through the door.

Tomoyo: That was fast. What did you get?

Zachary opens his robe (actually her robe), to reveal that he was covered in ice cream and whipped cream.

Zachary: Hungry sugar cookie?

Tomoyo, with an even more disgusted look on her face, ran to the window leading to the balcony. She opened it, and then she ran over to Zachary and pulled him by the ear to the balcony, and kicked him over the side while yelling "I HATE YOU ZACHARY!" "I LOATHE YOU! I SIMPLY LOATHE YOU!" "FOREVER!" Zachary luckily, okay not too luckily, lands on her mother's rose bush. Then her female bodyguards later chased Zachary off her property.
That night, Tomoyo couldn't sleep a wink. Especially because Zachary was in the same bed...nude...He got ice cream and whipped cream all over the inside of her robe. Overall, she was traumatized.
The next day at school, Tomoyo told Sakura and Li what happened at her house...

Sakura: Oh my god! Glad he's not my boyfriend.
Tomoyo: You don't have to rub it in! I already have enough problems.
Li: Yeah... and to think of all that wasted ice cream...what flavor did you say it was?

Sakura knocks Li on the head.

Sakura: This is not a time to be funny!
Li: Sorry.

Then lunch came...again. Tomoyo expected to see Zachary, but there was no sign of him. Tomoyo asked Chelsea, and she finds out that he didn't come to school. Zachary has never missed a day of school in his life, even if he really was sick. Tomoyo got really worried. She could see it now...Zachary lying on his death bed...suffering...mainly of the thorn wounds from the rose bush. Heeheehee...
Tomoyo arrived home cautiously, expecting Zachary to pop out of nowhere. She slowly went up to her room...she opened up her door, and no Zachary. She looked in every possible hiding place in her room, still no Zachary.

Tomoyo: Hmm. Maybe he finally got the message.
Night came; still no Zachary. Tomoyo was on her laptop. She was reading her e-mail. She got one from Eriol! She read it...

My Dearest Tomoyo, Its been exactly six months since we last saw each other. I really miss you. A day can't pass without the thought of you. i can understand what you're going through right now. If he's giving you a real problem, just tell me. So, how's life there?
Your Love,
Eriol Hiirigazawa

She quickly responded.

My Only Love,
I really miss you too. Actually, there's been a big change. My mother is actually letting Zachary come and go as he pleases! He's like the thing that won't stop following you. This is going to be sort of weird, but I keep telling him that I DON'T love him, but he can't seem to grasp it! I found him in my room...in my bed...NAKED! And he wasted all my ice cream and whipped cream because he rubbed it all over himself. But I kind of got out of control and I knocked him out my window and into a rose bush. I feel really guilty. He didn't show up for school today.
All My Love,
Tomoyo Daidouji

After all that typing, Tomoyo got really tired and she decided it was time to "hit the hay" (don't think nasty). She was about to go to bed, when she heard a noise from outside her door. She turned on her lamp. She thought it would be her maid.

Tomoyo: Rose? Is that you?

There was no response. She started getting really worried and scared. She had her hands around her cell phone and reaching for her decoration sword.

Tomoyo: Is anyone there?

She hears an eerie sounding whisper "My Love". Then the figure from behind the door breaks it down with an axe. There stood a figure with a white mask and dark clothes with an axe in its hand.

Figure: If I can't have you, then no one will!

The figure starts charging at Tomoyo with the axe. Tomoyo blocked the attack with her sword. Hehehe...for a plastic sword, it does a great job. She knocked him to the ground and she quickly pushed her panic button that alerted her bodyguards. The figure got up again.

Figure: My love!

Tomoyo screamed as loud as she could. The figure charged at her without the axe and the sword was on the ground across the room. The figure rammed into her causing her to become unconscious. The alarm sounded and the bodyguards were near. The figure quickly took Tomoyo's body and carried her, and jumped out the balcony window and got away.
The next morning, Tomoyo woke up in a bed that was not her own. She tried remembering what happened before she went to sleep, but everything was a big blur. As she was trying to figure out where the heck she was, she saw Zachary in the corner of the room, looking at her.

Zachary: Ah, my princess awakens!

Then Tomoyo realizes she's not wearing her own nightgown. She was in a silky, purple sleeping dress. She was convinced it was a dream.

Zachary: Arise my princess. Say good morning to your prince charming.
Tomoyo: Is this real?
Zachary: As real as you and me my love. Let's go back to bed.
Tomoyo: Uh...
Tomoyo, still convinced that it was a dream, followed him to the bed.

Zachary: Yes my love! Come to me now!
Tomoyo: Wait a minute this isn't a dream! You broke into my house and you kidnapped me!
Zachary: You are very wise my love.

Tomoyo runs to the door and tries to open it, but realizes it's locked.
Zachary (evil, perverted laugh): You are smart, but not too smart my love. I have you in my palace and there's no way out! You're my love forever! Ahahahaha!
Tomoyo (shocked and helpless): I'll find a way out! My real love is Eriol and you can't change that!
Zachary: Well a guy can try! Plus, there's absolutely no way of contacting the outside world in my palace! Ahahahaha!

Zachary scoots over to the door and unlocks it and closes the door behind him. Tomoyo looked around the room and starts to cry again. Suddenly, she feels something in her pocket, it's her cell phone! She quickly turns it on, but the doorknob started to turn. She quickly hid the cell phone under the mattress. Zachary entered the room...

Zachary: Ready my love?
Tomoyo: You wouldn't dare touch me!
Zachary: There is nothing you can do! But first, I want you to know, if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not really Zachary.

Zachary suddenly transformed into his real identity. Then, when the smoke cleared, there stood an older man in wizard's robes. The figure stepped out from the shadows.

Figure: I am the spirit of forbidden love, Atamar, and you are now my prisoner!
Tomoyo: What have you done to Zachary?!

Atamar kicked Zachary's trembling body in the stomach. Zachary gave a loud yell and blacked out.

Atamar: Hahaha. You're little friend is just one of my many pawns. I'll just send him to my dungeon, where the rest of my pawns spend their afterlife. I'll be back.

Then, Atamar and Zachary's body disappeared in a cloud of smoke. It was now Tomoyo's chance to get help. She reached under the mattress and got her cell phone. She tried calling Sakura's house, but the line was busy. On to other line...

Sakura: I love you Li.
Li: I love you more.
Sakura: No, I love you more.
Li: No, I do.
Sakura: No, I do.
Li: I do!
Sakura: I do!
Li: You're the best!
Sakura: No, you're the best!
Li: You are!
Sakura: No, you are!

(Keeps continuing)

Tomoyo (thinking): Out of all the time in the world, why did Sakura have to talk with Li now?

She put the phone away and she decided she'd try again later. Meanwhile, in England, Eriol got off from school on winter break. He tried calling her house.

Sonomi: Hello? Daidouji residence.
Eriol: Hello Ma'm. Is Miss Tomoyo at home?
Sonomi (bursting into tears): Don't try playing tricks on me! Who's this? Please return Tomoyo back to me!
Eriol: Ma'm, this is Tomoyo's boyfriend, Eriol. What happened to Tomoyo?
Sonomi: Oh. You're that British boy. Tell you what. If you can rescue my daughter and prove your love to her, I'll let you be with my daughter. But any funny business, and I'll get on your case! Do we have a deal? Eriol: Of course, anything for Tomoyo's safety. I'll find your daughter as soon as possible.

HANG UP

Eriol immediately gathered his things and bagged the next flight to Tokyo. At the airport, Sakura and Li were waiting for him.

Eriol (running off the plane and out of breath): Sakura! What happened to Tomoyo?!
Sakura: Come with us. We'll explain everything when we get to my house.

Sakura and Li helped Eriol with his stuff and they drove to Sakura's house and they quickly ran upstairs.
Sakura: Okay. Here's what happened. You know all about Tomoyo's arranged marriage with Zachary and how crazy Zachary got when Tomoyo told him that she didn't love him right?
Eriol: Right.
Sakura: Well, now she's been missing for a week, and so has Zachary. I have reason to believe that Zachary has kidnapped her because I found a note in his room saying "I'll be going away with my love, where we can't be disturbed for eternity."
Eriol: THAT FIEND!
Li: Wait now! Let's not jump to conclusions!
Eriol: What do you mean?! Would you be calm if someone kidnaps Sakura?!
Li: That's not what I meant!

Li knocks Eriol on the head to calm him down (I'm not sure how that works ^_^;). Then Eriol got really mad and Sakura had to help Li tie Eriol down to a chair.

Eriol (struggling): What's with all this?!
Li: Calm down and we'll let you go.
Eriol (bites Li): Where's Tomoyo?!
Li: OW! (knocks Eriol on the head again)

Suddenly, Tori runs upstairs and throws open the door to Sakura's room.

Tori: What's going on up here?!
Sakura (startled): Oh...uh...we're just...uh...practicing for a play.
Tori: Then what's China boy doing here? And who's this kid?
Sakura: Oh. That's Eriol. He came all the way from England. He used to be my classmate in the fourth grade.
Tori: Well, England boy, don't get in trouble with me. You can even ask China boy here. By the way, what makes you think little China boy here can act? Remember "Sleeping Beauty"?

Eriol started snickering.

Li: Hey!

Then Tori figured he had his fun and went back downstairs.

Eriol: Oh yeah! Tomoyo told me you were Sleeping Beauty! HAHAHA! She made your costume with the frills and everything!

Li knocked Eriol on the head again.

Li: Shut up! It's not like you were in it!
Eriol: It's just so funny! You in a dress! AHAHAHA!
Sakura: Eriol! That's not what we came here to talk about!
Eriol: Oh yeah. You're right Sakura.

Back in Atamar's palace...

Atamar: I'm back, my prisoner of love!
Tomoyo: Stay away from me!
Atamar: Remember? There is no way a mortal like you could do anything to escape! Now come here and worship me!
Tomoyo: Never!
Suddenly, Atamar used his magic to pin Tomoyo to the wall. Atamar walked up to the struggling Tomoyo.

Atamar: Don't be so arrogant my pet. (Touching Tomoyo's face) Your friends will never rescue you.

Tomoyo bit Atamar's finger. Atamar struggled to get his finger free.

Atamar: Oh. A little rebel eh? If you're hungry, dinner will be ready in an hour.

Atamar used his magic to levitate Tomoyo onto the bed.

Atamar: I'll wait until you're less hungry.

Then he vanished again. Tomoyo tried her cell phone again. Sakura picked up the phone...

Tomoyo: Hello? Sakura?
Sakura: Tomoyo?!

Eriol and Li get closer to the phone to listen, but Eriol breaks out of the chair and grabs the phone from Sakura.

Eriol: Tomoyo?!
Tomoyo: Eriol?
Eriol: Where are you Tomoyo? What happened?
Tomoyo: Listen. I don't have much time, but I'm in some sort of castle.
Eriol: What has Zachary done to you? I swear, if he laid a finger on you-
Tomoyo: Relax, Zachary didn't do anything. It appears a spirit named Atamar took over Zachary's body. So Zachary is just a helpless pawn. Atamar has him locked in a dungeon.
Eriol: Wait a minute. The spirit of forbidden love Atamar?
Tomoyo: Yeah. And he has me locked in his room. There's one window and I see nothing but forest. I have no idea where I am.
Eriol: Don't worry Tomoyo. We'll get there as soon as we can! Just don't let him get near you!
Tomoyo: I'll try, but hurry! I better hang up before he comes back.

HANG UP

Li: Well?
Sakura: Do you know where she is?
Eriol: Yes. I know exactly where she is. She's a prisoner of the spirit Atamar, the same spirit that has haunted my family for centuries. He led to the death of all the men in my family. I didn't know it would be my turn so soon.
Li: Oh yeah. So I guess he's after both of us.
Eriol: Mainly me because the spirit of Clow Reed took over my body for quite some time till I met you guys. But yes, he is after you too Li. We who are descendants of Clow Reed must live a strict life of practicing magic and sorcery and to protect the Clow Cards. We are not allowed to marry of fall in love with anyone outside of the family.
Sakura: But we can't just let you die.
Eriol: Well, there's only one life that counts right now, and that's Tomoyo's.
Li: What about Zachary?
Eriol: Uh...yeah, him too. (Sakura and Li fall over anime style)
Sakura: Where does Atamar live?
Eriol: In Scotland. He lives among the vampires.
Sakura: VAMPIRES?!
Eriol: What's the matter Sakura? Are you scared?
Li: You know, Atamar probably knows we're coming.
Eriol: Well if he is, then this is all I have to say... " COME AND GET ME YOU CREATION OF SATAN!"

In Atamar's palace, Atamar was sitting in a room, looking in his crystal ball; he heard the whole conversation between the three friends.

Atamar: Hey! How'd he know? Oh well...so he's next. Hmm. I wonder what I'll do with you. Maybe burn you in boiling oil. Nah.I did that last time...oh well. I'll figure something out by the time I capture you and you're little friends.

Tomoyo was in the room, trying to break out. She tried breaking the bars on the window, but the bars were too strong to break. She tried breaking the bricks on the walls, but they were too strong also. After a while, she got tired and laid on the bed and she eventually went to sleep. What a mistake that was! When Tomoyo woke up, she saw Atamar standing in front of the door.

Atamar: No more waiting my love. It is time.
Tomoyo: Go away! Stay away from me or suffer the consequences!
Atamar walked toward the bed. Tomoyo backed up against the bed. There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. She was trapped. Atamar approached the bed. Atamar already cornered her. Atamar attempted to take Tomoyo's dress off, but Tomoyo kicked his face and punched him to the ground.

Tomoyo: I told you there would be consequences!

Atamar pinned Tomoyo to the wall again.

Atamar: You're the feistiest one yet. But you'll be mine, sooner or later.

Tomoyo spat on Atamar's face.

Atamar: I'll leave you there until morning. Then we'll see how stubborn you are.

Atamar vanished again. All Tomoyo could do now is hope that Eriol and the others get there in time. Back home, Eriol, Li, and Sakura were at the shopping center, looking for equipment. Suddenly, Chelsea spotted them.

Chelsea: I know everything.
Li: What are you talking about?
Chelsea: I overheard your guy's conversation at Sakura's house.
Sakura: How?
Chelsea: Tori let me in, but just as I was about to open the door, I overheard a lot about a spirit named Atamar and how Zachary is just a pawn and how Tomoyo is a prisoner in Scotland. And. If you guys don't mind, I want to come too.
Li: Uh...Eriol? Could we?
Chelsea: I'm doing this because I want to apologize to Tomoyo and to save Zachary.
Eriol: I'm not sure if we should risk Chelsea's life. She doesn't posses any magic.
Sakura: But she could even up our forces.
Li: All right, as long as you can defend yourself.
Chelsea: All right!
Eriol: But NO word of this to ANYONE! Understand?
Chelsea: Understood.

Chelsea pinky sweared with Eriol, and she helped the friends shop for equipment. Finally, after a day of shopping, they got all the equipment they needed.

Sakura: Finally! I've never been so tired after shopping.
Eriol: We're only missing one thing.
Li: What's that?
Eriol: A transmitter.
Chelsea: A what?
Eriol: Well, since Atamar is a spirit, we can't just put a steak through his heart. We have to teleport him to another planet so he can just die of suffocation.
Li: But where are we going to get a transmitter?
Eriol: Leave that to me. I have one at my house. I'll just contact Ruby and Spinner, and they can get it ready.
Chelsea: Then was there any point to this conversation?
Eriol: No. (Everyone falls over anime style)

Everyone arrived at Li's house so Tori wouldn't bother them. Kero was waiting for them there and he brought Yue with him too. They all gathered in the living room and divided the supplies amongst themselves.

Kero: Okay. Where's the fridge?
Sakura: KERO!

Wei came out of the kitchen with a platter of sweets for Kero.

Kero: All right! Chow time! (starts drooling)

Kero flies at the speed of light to the platter of sweets and just starts munching and chowing down the food. Everyone stares with a sweat drop in embarrassment.

Li: Okay, who needs him? We'll start without him. Anyway, we'll start now.
Eriol: Yeah. First of all, when we get to the castle, we'll split up into two groups to cut time in half. Sakura will come with Ruby, Spinner, and me. Li will take Chelsea, Kero, and Yue. We'll arrive there at morning, so Atamar's minions will be asleep because of the light. But we have to be careful, because the dungeon is as dark as night, so Li and Chelsea better be careful and quiet.
Li: I've divided up the supplies. Everyone will get a necklace of garlic cloves; Chelsea and I will take the guns and extra ammo, while Eriol takes the sacred sword. I think I better bring mine too. Sakura will carry the transmitter.
Eriol: We leave first thing in the morning.

In Atamar's palace, Tomoyo was still struggling to get free of the magic holding her to the wall. Just then, her cell phone rang. Atamar entered the room...

Atamar: What's that racket?! I need to get my beauty sleep!

Atamar discovered Tomoyo's cell phone under the mattress ringing.

Atamar: Oh. So you have been talking to your little friends eh?

Atamar smashed the cell phone right in his hand.

Atamar: Let's see how you're little friends contact you now! AHAHAHAHA!

Tomoyo was speechless, as if all the energy in her body was drained out of her. She couldn't move, paralyzed as she looked upon the only way out of this godforsaken prison. No one knows where she is. She can be on another planet for all she knows! Meanwhile, on the other line, Sakura heard the phone break. After Sakura told the rest of the gang the whole story, everyone gasped in shock. Even Kero stopped eating the chocolate cupcake he was gobbling down.

Eriol: How are we going to get over there without being detected?
Li: We can use the guardians to fly over the gates. Don't you watch T.V?
Eriol: T.V? What is this T.V?

Everyone fall over anime style.

Sakura: You have a computer, but you don't have a television?!
Eriol: No. When I want news, I just read it online.
Li: Not news! Don't you watch cartoons?
Eriol: C-ar-toons? What are those?

Everyone falls over again.

Chelsea: Okay, stop asking Eriol about his "forms of entertainment". He doesn't watch T.V okay?
Sakura: Yeah, Chelsea's right, maybe not about the "forms of entertainment", but we have to concentrate on how to get Tomoyo and Zachary out of that castle.

The friends continued with their packing, while the four guardians sat down and discussed their strategy on how to get into the castle undetected. Well, most of them. Kero kept nibbling at his chocolate cupcake.

Kero: Hey Spinner! You wanna try some of this stuff? Its good.
Spinner: Uh...no thank you Kero. I get hyperactive when I have sweets remember?
Kero: Oh yeah! Like that time at the school fair! HAHAHA! You were harder to stop than a clow card. Spinner: I don't wanna talk about it.
Yue: Can we get back to business?
Ruby: Yeah. We don't have a lot of time. Tomoyo and Zachary are counting on us.
Spinner: Right. But Ruby and I haven't been in that castle for quite some time now. But I think I remember a secret entrance in the front garden. We'll have to move some bushes around to find it though.
Kero: I hope we don't find anything besides the entrance in those bushes.
Yue, Ruby, and Spinner: KERO!
Kero: I'm just saying! I've already got enough experience with things in the bushes.
Spinner: Oookay, let's just ignore him.
Kero: Hey!
Ruby: Oh yeah! I've got the map right here.

Ruby lays out the map for the other guardians to see.

Ruby: See? The front garden is right outside the castle to the right. But there will probably a lot there waiting for us. We have to be prepared.

Back at the palace, Atamar was looking through his crystal ball again.

Atamar: So, they are coming. Better get the troops together.
Commander Vampire: Yes, of course my lord. I'll prepare them at once. (leaves)
Atamar (laughs evilly to himself): Excellent. I better go see how my prisoner is doing.

Atamar vanishes and reappears in Tomoyo's room. Tomoyo was startled.

Atamar: I've sent my minions to destroy your friends. There's no hope now. There is no use to resisting my power! You will be mine tomorrow, so get ready my love. Hehehe....

Atamar vanishes once again. Tomoyo becomes worried and looks out the window.

Tomoyo (thinking): I hope they make it. That's all that I can do now.

It was finally early morning back in Japan and everyone was up and ready to go.

Sakura: Okay! Is everyone ready to kick some vampire butt?
Everyone: Yeah!
They used Li's car to drive them to the airport, but just then, they realized they might have a problem about getting on board.
Chelsea (whispering to Eriol): Eriol! How are we going to get past the guards if we have weapons in our luggage?
Eriol: Don't worry; I've put a spell on the weapons, so it will be detected as plastic.
Chelsea: It seems as if you have done this before.
Eriol: Yeah. My mom taught me how. So we can bring our spells and stuff to England when we moved from Japan.
Sakura: But what about Kero, Spinner, Ruby, and Yue?
Li: Hide Kero and Spinner in your backpack. I gave Ruby and Yue trench coats to hide their wings.
It was their turn to go through the metal detectors and the luggage passed. It was Sakura's turn...

Guard: Miss, I need to look inside that bag.

Sakura gave the guard her bag.

Guard (holding Kero and Spinner): Miss, are these your pets?
Sakura: Oh no. Those are my stuffed animals.
(Kero and Spinner pull off the stuffed animal look, but at the same time they have sweat drops on their faces)
Guard: Oh okay. Just making sure miss. You may pass.

Everyone was relieved when they got on the plane. Kero and Spinner emerged out of Sakura's bag out of breath...

Kero: Why didn't you at least put a little air hole in your bag?!
Spinner: Yeah! And I got squished with mister "I'm obsessed with sugar" here!
Kero: Obsessed with sugar?! I'll show you obsessed with sugar! (attempts to beat Spinner up)
Eriol (grabs Spinner just in time): Save your strength for when we get off!

Spinner goes to sleep in Eriol's lap.

Atamar (looking through his crystal ball): They are coming. Are the troops ready?
Commander Vampire: Yes my lord, we await your orders.
Atamar: Excellent.
Commander Vampire: But sir, what about the light? We would be fried to a crisp!
Atamar: Do not question me! Just attack! All of them need to be brought back to me… dead or alive.

Meanwhile, in the prison room, where Tomoyo was held captive, Tomoyo looked out the window. There was no sign of them. She knew this was the day that would determine if she would live or die. At the same time, she was still trying to break out.
At the airport, everyone ran out of the plane, got their luggage, and ran out the door. They ran to the woods, where no one could see them.

Eriol: You can take the trench coats off now. Both of you will have to fly us to the castle.
Ruby and Yue: WHAT?!

Suddenly, Li heard a rustling noise coming from the bushes…

Li: Sh…quiet everyone! I hear something. Something is close by…

The rustling grew louder…

Li: Everyone! Get ready! They're coming!

Everyone drew their weapons. Li got out his sword and cautiously walked near the bush the noise was coming from. He used the sword to look into the bush…and someone pops out!

Meilin: Hi Li!

Everyone screams in surprise. Then they realize it's only Meilin.

Li: MEILIN! Don't scare me like that! And what are you doing here?!
Meilin: I came here to see you of course! Let me help you guys one last time! I can protect myself!
Eriol: But Meilin, there's already four of us. The guardians can't carry all of us!
Meilin: I said… I'm coming! (glares at Eriol)
Eriol (sweat drops): Alright… (thinking) what a guy does to be polite…
Meilin: And besides, Sakura has her wand thing, why can't she use that?
Sakura: Oh yeah…why didn't I think of that? Ehehehe… I have room for one more. Li, you want to ride?
Meilin: Oh no you don't! Li's riding with me!
Sakura: Meilin, I thought you called off the whole engagement.
Meilin: So? He sees you all the time! I came here to see Li, so he'll ride with me!
Sakura: Okay, whatever you want Meilin.
Meilin: Ha! I won! I'm riding with Li! I'm riding with Li!
Chelsea: I'll ride with you Sakura.
Sakura: Okay.

Ruby carried Eriol and Yue carried Meilin and Li as they flew over to the castle. They avoided most of the attacks from the vampires on the ground. But just as they were arriving at the front gate, a flock of 100 vampires attacked from the air. Everyone got their weapons ready.
Chelsea shot down ten and then ran out of ammo. Sakura used the shot card to shoot 30 more down. Suddenly, the vampires were charging at them. Li stood up on Yue's back and used his fire element card to burn 30 more.

Meilin: Yay! That's my Li! See? He's better than you Sakura!
Li: Shut up Meilin! This is not the time!
Meilin: Sorry…
Eriol: Hey you guys! Sunrise is in 5 minutes! Hold on!

Kero and Spinner went in front and transformed into their real forms. Kero shot an energy ball at them, and missed.

Keroberos: Oops… guess my aim needs work.
Spinner Sun: You idiot! Let me show you how it's done!

Spinner Sun threw another energy ball at the vampires and it hit 20 vampires. And he stuck his tongue out at Keroberos. Keroberos growled.

Eriol: 2 minutes to sunrise!

The vampires realized it too and they charged nearer and nearer the group by the second.

Li: Sakura! Use the shield card!
Sakura: Release! Shield Card!

The shield card protected the group from the stampede of vampires. Finally, the light of the sun killed all the remaining vampire warriors. Eriol and the others arrived at the front gate of the castle.

Eriol: Well, whatever happens, we have to get Tomoyo and Zachary out of there alive no matter what.

At the same time, Atamar was watching through his crystal ball.

Atamar: Ah. I see you have defeated my forces. I expected no less of a descendant of Clow Reed. But let's see how you handle what's coming up next.

The group of friends flew over the front gate and landed in the garden.

Meilin: What do we do now Einstein?
Eriol: We look for which bush has the secret entrance under it.
Li: It doesn't say so on the map?
Ruby: No.
Chelsea: Great. This could take forever! Look how many bushes there are!
Li: Not for me.

Li pulls out his element cards.

Eriol: No Li wait!
Li: What?
Eriol: There could be vampires under those bushes.
Sakura: You mean if we choose the wrong bush, a vampire will pop out?
Eriol: Exactly.
Chelsea: Well, the best way is to try to find the bush that looks different than the others.
Meilin: Hey, this bush has lighter color leaves.

Meilin tried to be careful, so she kicked the bush to see if there was a vampire. But a vampire emerged from the bush. Meilin screamed.

Meilin: Ahh! Li save me!
Li: Element! Lightning!

The vampire disappeared.

Meilin: Oh Li! You're my hero!
Sakura: This is going to be harder than I thought.
Eriol: Try looking under the bushes. The door to the secret entrance has a silver doorway.
Chelsea: Hey. This one looks a little silvery on the bottom.

Chelsea tried to push the bush away, but something popped up out of the bush. Thinking it was a vampire; Chelsea screamed and whacked it to the ground. It appeared to be a little man. He stood up and spoke.

Little Man: Why hello miss. Sorry I startled you. I was just doing my business in the bushes like I do everyday. Yes, a man has to have his privacy
Li: Um… are you a vampire at all?
Little Man: Not that I know of. By the way, I'm Hairy Pickle. Would you like me to tell you a story?
Eriol: Now is really not a good time.
Hairy Pickle: But it's a really good story! I made it all up by myself!
Eriol: We can't listen to your story! Our lives and the prisoners' lives are in danger!
Hairy Pickle: But I want to tell you my story!
Chelsea (whispering to Eriol): Just ignore him.

Everyone walked away, but Hairy Pickle followed them.

Hairy Pickle: Can you hear my story now?
Eriol: No!
Hairy Pickle: Now?
Eriol: No!
Hairy Pickle: How about now?
Eriol: No!

Suddenly Eriol runs into a bush, and the command vampire emerges from the bush.

Command Vampire: I've got you now!
Hairy Pickle: Can I tell my story now?
Eriol: Shut up!

The command vampire attacked. And Sakura pulled out the Arrow card.

Sakura: Release! Arrow Card!

Arrow hit the command vampire, but he was still standing. Sakura pulled out another card.

Sakura: Sword card!

Sakura used the sword card to drive the blade through its heart. And the command vampire disappeared.

Hairy Pickle: Wow! Where do you keep all those cards?

Hairy Pickle attempted to look down Sakura's shirt, but Li grabbed him.

Li: Look. If we let you tell your story, will you go away?
Hairy Pickle: Why of course! But before I tell my story, whenever I pause, you guys have to say my name. Here it goes… There once was a man named…
Everyone: Hairy Pickle.
Hairy Pickle: Everyone hated…
Everyone: Hairy Pickle.
Hairy Pickle: So they hung him by his…
Everyone: Hairy Pickle.
Eriol: Are you happy now?
Hairy Pickle: Don't you think it's funny… or at least disgusting?
Li: We think you are disgusting.
Meilin: Now go away!

Meilin kicked Hairy Pickle into a bush.

Eriol: I'm glad that's over.
Li: You said it.
Ruby: We still have to find the entrance.
Spinner: Well, since the command vampire is defeated, then the army that hasn't been melted by the sunlight should be gone by now.
Li: Yes! Its elements time!

Li pulled out his element cards.

Li: Element… Fire!

Li set all the bushes on fire. Then he got out another element card.

Li: Element… Water!

Li put out the flames to reveal the remaining ashes of the once beautiful garden.

Eriol: I wonder if you burned that annoying Hairy Pickle with the bushes. Hehehe…
Li: Start searching for a door.
Sakura: Wait. I can help.

Sakura pulled out the Windy card.

Sakura: Release! Windy! Blow away all the debris!

After the debris was blown away, the secret entrance appeared right in front of them. The friends ran up to the silvery trap door. Eriol and Li tried to open it, but it was locked. Sakura pulled out her lock card and unlocked it and everyone entered. It was very dark and almost impossible to see.

Sakura: Light card! Release!

The light card caused everything to appear as if there was electric lighting inside. There were skulls hanging from the walls and the smell of rotting flesh became worse as they went.

Meilin: It stinks down here!
Li: Quit complaining Meilin. If you're bothered by the smell, then go back.
Meilin: Oh Li! You know I'd never leave you… with her!

Meilin stared at Sakura.

Ruby: Well, according to the map, we're almost near the dungeon.
Eriol: Okay. This is where we split up. I'll give you a copy of the map Li. After you rescue Zachary, come up to the upper floor and try to find us. We're not sure which room Tomoyo's in.
Li: And let me guess…I have to take Meilin with me.
Eriol: Yeah. And Chelsea, Kero, and Yue will go with you. I'm taking Sakura with me.
Li: Why do you get Sakura?
Eriol: Just go!

The friends split up. Li was already having trouble with Meilin.

Li: Meilin! Be serious for once, and let me go so I can see the map!
Meilin: Oh all right. After we get this rescue mission over with.
Li: Meilin! Get this straight, I have a girlfriend, and her name is Sakura. Okay? So I'm not your fiancé anymore!
Meilin: You didn't have to put it so harshly!
Kero: You guys… you should be quiet around these parts. Anything can pop out from any corner.
Li: For once, Kero is right.
Chelsea: Stop causing fights you guys! You want to get us all killed?!

Meanwhile, Eriol and Sakura found the main hall. There were very strange statues, some with a very disturbing nature. There was no sign of more vampires. They had their sights on the huge staircase that was sort of decorated with skulls and skeletons. Still in her room, Tomoyo was wondering what would happen after today when the sun sets. Suddenly, Atamar appeared in the room.

Atamar: It is time my love.
Tomoyo: You'll never take me alive!
Atamar: Don't think I haven't learned from my previous mistakes my love.

Atamar used his magic to pin Tomoyo straight down on the bed. She couldn't move. She felt as if she was being chained tightly to the bed so she couldn't even struggle.

Atamar: Ha! Now you see why evil conquers all? I used a stronger spell on you.

Then, Atamar used his magic to make Tomoyo levitate. Tomoyo screamed.

Tomoyo: Ahh! Help! Help! Someone save me! Please! Anyone!

Eriol and Sakura heard Tomoyo's screams. They quickly ran up the staircase. They followed the screams to the hallway of the prison rooms to find vampires waiting for them.

Ruby: Master, Spinner Sun and I will take care of them. You and Sakura go save Tomoyo.
Eriol: Okay.
Spinner Sun: Good luck master. We've come the closest so far. If we succeed, we break the family curse.
Ruby: All right then, Spinner Sun, you take them on the left, I'll go right.

Ruby and Spinner attacked the pack of vampires, while Eriol and Sakura snuck into the prison room the vampires were guarding. They overheard Atamar torturing Tomoyo. She still had her dress on, thank god.

Tomoyo: Don't go near me! Just leave me alone!
Atamar: And why would I do that my pet?
Atamar petted Tomoyo's head.
Eriol (whispering): That bastard! I'm going to kick his ass for doing that her!
Sakura (whispering): No time for that now. We have to figure out how to get Atamar into the transmitter.
Eriol (whispering to Sakura): Okay. Put the transmitter in the middle of the room. I'll try to lure him into it.
Atamar: It is time!
Tomoyo: Ah! No! Let me go!

Atamar tried to kiss Tomoyo, but Eriol tried to shoot Atamar, but missed and caught Atamar's attention.

Atamar: How did you get in here boy?!
Eriol: How dare you take advantage of women using your evil magic? You disgust me!
Atamar: What's it to you? Now, I'm going to kill you, just like I did to your father, and your father's father, and your father's father's father, and… (Trails off)

Meanwhile, Li and the rest of the group in the dungeon finally found Zachary nearly half dead.

Chelsea: Zachary?! Are you okay?
Li: Here you go Zachary. This will give you a bit of energy.

Li gave Zachary some food and water. Zachary gobbled it all up and started talking.

Zachary: Thank god you guys got here. I've been down here for three or four days. You've got to save Tomoyo… (passes out)
Chelsea: Zachary?!
Li: I think you should take Zachary to the hospital. Kero, go with her.

Kero and Chelsea left the dungeon and Kero flew Chelsea and Zachary out of the castle. Li, Meilin, and Yue continued their way to the prison rooms. Meanwhile, in the prison room, Eriol was still fighting Atamar, when suddenly Ruby and Spinner Sun joined the fight. Sakura already got the transmitter in place and now she was getting it ready.

Eriol: Hurry Sakura!

Atamar used his magic to levitate Eriol in the air like Tomoyo still was. The magic made Eriol's body weak, and made him drop the sword. But Ruby grabbed it. Atamar tried using his magic again on Ruby, but it appeared she was immune to dark magic.

Sakura: Keep going Ruby! I'm almost done.

Atamar tried again, he caused a mini whirlwind to hit Ruby, but she was still standing. But the whirlwind threw a piece of the transmitter across the room. Spinner Sun tried to go after it, but Atamar kicked it out of the way. Sakura couldn't leave the transporter because she was holding two wires apart.

Sakura: Kick it over here Ruby!

But Ruby was too busy fighting Atamar. Spinner tried to kick the piece across the room to Sakura again, but Atamar slammed him to the ground with his magic. Then Li and the others entered the room.

Atamar: What is this? Another descendant of Clow Reed?
Meilin: Make that two more blood breath!

Meilin used her karate skills to trip Atamar to the ground, but Atamar pinned Meilin to the wall. Li used his sword to stab Atamar in the back. But he was still standing. He used his magic to take the sword out of his back and it flew to hit Li, but he dodged it. Li and Eriol were keeping Atamar busy while Yue got the missing piece and kicked it to Sakura.

Sakura: You guys, hold on to something!

The transmitter started working. Suddenly, a huge vacuum started, but Atamar held onto Tomoyo who was still levitating.

Atamar: If I have to go, I won't go alone!
Tomoyo: Let go!

Tomoyo kicked Atamar off of her and he was sucked into the transmitter. Everything stopped levitating and the transmitter shut off.

Eriol: Tomoyo! Are you okay?

Eriol held Tomoyo in his arms.

Eriol: I'll never leave you alone again! Are you still a virgin?

Everyone in the room falls over.

Tomoyo: Of course I have! I've been fighting off this guy since I got here! If you didn't come when you did, I wouldn't have been.
Eriol: Uh… let's never talk about this adventure again.
Tomoyo: Yeah. Imagine what people will think. They probably wouldn't believe us if we told them anyway.
Ruby: There are at least two goods of this. Tomoyo and Zachary are alive and we broke the family curse!
Eriol: Oh yeah!

Everyone fell over again. Then everyone go their stuff together and flew out of the castle before the remaining vampires awakened. After an hour or so, the friends picked up Chelsea and Zachary, who appeared back in good health, and arrived in England, at Eriol's place.

Sakura: Why did you drop us off here?
Eriol: Anyone interested in seeing the sights of England?
Chelsea: Oh wow yeah! Let's go!

And that night they triple dated as Eriol and Tomoyo toured the rest of the gang around England.

The End
