Hey, Minna-San! I�ve thought this fic through, and it is really good, at least I think so. It�s hard for me to type right now, because I took a nasty fall outside the library today, and I have an icepack on my wrist. Anyways, I hope you all like it, and I know that I�m making Eriol seem more evil than he really is again, but I can�t help it. So� Yeah.
CCS isn�t mine. I still hate to admit it, and I hat writing these things even more, but oh well.
Mastery: Chapter 1.
�Master? What are you doing?� Nakuru asked as she knocked on Eriol�s heavy wooden door.
�I�m making something. Now please, leave me in peace. This is very important.�
Nakuru shrugged and went to search for Spinel Sun.
From inside Eriol�s room, sounds could be heard, and Eriol�s voice rang off the walls of the chamber. �Soon you shall be alive. Soon you shall be my spy, and my assistant. I must hurry; the girl has found the Clow Cards already! My time is very short, indeed.� A figure was lying on a table in the room. It nodded, as though understanding him.
�This should be fun. I can make a stuffed toy and a sexless wonder, but I wonder how far I can go when making human life? I guess I�ll find out, won�t I? Wait, I never named you� It must be a fierce name, something to prove that you are no one to be reckoned with.� Eriol quickly glanced around the room and spotted a sculpture of a wolf up on a shelf. �A little wolf, hmm. You�re supposed to be Chinese, so� Xiao Lang. Or Syaoran, in Japanese. Yes, soon, we shall see just how well you turned out, Syaoran.�
~*~*~*~*~A week later~*~*~*~*~
�At last, he�s done!� Eriol shouted. His creation, Syaoran, sat up on the table and looked around at his surroundings. He wore only a pair of jeans, and no shirt, showing off a body that was muscular and thin for a ten-year-old.
Nakuru knocked on Eriol�s door as she had before. �Master? What�s done?�
�Come in, I�ll show you. Bring Spinel, too.� Eriol smiled wickedly as Syaoran continued to survey what was around him.
�Yes, Master.� Nakuru called for Spinel Sun and the two entered the room. Nakuru saw Syaoran and gasped. �Oh, KAWAII! Master, he�s so cute!� Nakuru ran over and hugged the boy. Syaoran backed away a bit, alarmed.
�Master? Nakuru�� Spinel said with a sweatdrop developing on his forehead.
�Oh! Get off of him! Syaoran, I am Eriol, I have created you. This is Nakuru and Spinel Sun.� Eriol stated as he gestured to the two �I have created them as well. I guess you can say they are your brother and sister. Now, You have a very important task that I need you to complete��
Syaoran, his voice shaky at first, for he has never spoken before, said quietly �Who am I?�
�You are Syaoran Li. That is what I have named you.� Eriol told the boy.
�Where am I?� Syaoran continued, putting no end to his looking about.
�You are in London, England. This is my home, my bedroom. This is where you were created.� Eriol grew impatient as he wanted to get to the point, but nevertheless, Syaoran continued to ask questions.
�I am London England. I am in Syaoran Li. My master is Spinel Sun. My brother is Nakuru. My sister is Eriol.�
�No! All wrong! You are Syaoran Li. You are in London, England. Your master is I, Eriol. Your �Brother� is Spinel Sun. Your �sister� is Nakuru.
�Oh! I though London England would be such a unique name!� Nakuru complained.
Spinel looked at Syaoran and said in his ear. �Pay no mind to her. Nakuru is just hyper. She�s had a lot of sugar today.�
�Shut up.� Eriol commanded, throwing a piece of candy at Spinel. The candy is gone in two seconds flat.
Spinal�s eyes shut and arched upward. His cheeks became rosy. �EEEEEEE! SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUGARSUGARSUGARSUGARSUGAR!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!� Spinel flew around the room in large circles, swooping high and low above the other�s heads. Once or twice, he knocked down a few things from the shelves they sat on. Eriol dove to catch them all, but was too slow. Syaoran got off the table, and picked up the ten things Spinel just knocked over before they had fallen two feet.
�Wow. I didn�t realize I made him that fast!� Eriol marveled as Syaoran set down the items and rushed off to catch more of the falling objects.
�Ooh! Look! He�s not even short on breath! Oh, Master! You did make him cute!� Nakuru squealed as Syaoran ran to catch still more.
�Silence.� Eriol said, throwing a candy in her (?) direction. Unfortunately, Spinel spotted it and flew straight at it. Syaoran saw this, too, caught three more things, and the candy while Spinel was still a good five feet away.
�There you go.� Syaoran said, handing the food to Nakuru.
�Thanks, oh kawaii one!�
�Kawaii�?� Syaoran inquired.
�It means �Cute� in Japanese. You are going to have to learn it, since that is where you�re going.� Eriol clarified.
�Where is this Japan?�
Eriol fell over anime-style. �This is going to take while.�
After an hour of trying to explain to Syaoran all he would need to know, Eriol finally felt he could give Syaoran his mission.
�Okay. Now, this is what I want you to do. You are to go to Japan.� Eriol began, pointing to the globe on his desk. �And each day, you will give me information about the CardCaptor, her powers, how many Cards she has, etc. We�ve covered all of that, haven�t we?�
Syaoran nodded �Yes, Master. The CardCaptor is Kinomoto Sakura. The guardian of the Cards is Cerberus. The Cards are magical items created by you in a past life.�
�Correct.� Eriol smiled, handing Syaoran a small gray box that held what looked like a cell phone. Only there was a screen at the top, and only two buttons �Call� and �End� �This is how you will contact me. My number is programmed into it, so just push �Call� and we will be linked directly to each other. This is the video screen.� Eriol stated, indicating the screen. �This way, we can speak face-to-face, understand?�
�Yes, Master.� Syaoran confirmed, putting the communicator in his pocket. He ran through everything he had been taught so far in his head. �I understand everything.�
�Good. Now, your airplane leaves for Japan tomorrow. You are being transferred to the CardCaptor�s school. Find her and assist her as soon as possible. But first, act as though you want the Cards for yourself, so she does not get suspicious of our plans prematurely.�
�Yes, Master. I will find her. How difficult could it be to find one little girl?�
�Don�t get cocky. It just may be harder than you think.�
++++++++++
Okay, I know that was weird. I wrote this first in a play format, but I didn�t like it, so I went over it and changed it to paragraphs, not lines. Anyways, I hope you all like it so far, and Eriol didn�t turn out too evil, did he? I hope not, Eriol�s cool. (Just not as cool as the oh-so-kawaii Syaoran-Kun!) ((Li-Chan glomps Syaoran.)) So Kawaii!
