Chapter 6 of Royal Luv:
In Miro's room:
Bright emerald eyes struggled to open, but their lids
refused to open.
*What happened? Why does my head hurt so much?* Sakura finally
managed to
open her eyes half-way. Sakura groaned and found herself pinned
to a wall.
*What the...?!*
Sakura's eyes opened up fully and saw that Syaoran was
also tied up to
the wall opposite of her. Syaoran's head hung limply on his
shoulders. His
chest heaved up and down unnaturally. *Syaoran!!* Sakura tried
to call out
his name, but no sound emitted from her throat.
Sakura struggled against the vines and branches but to
no prevail.
"Oh look! Little Cherry Blossom woke up!"
Miro came from a small study
that was connected to her room. She had changed her clothes
from her dress
into loose, black pants and a tight, dark navy shirt that barely
showed her
belly-button. Miro strode across the room until she was face
to face with
Sakura. She placed her hands under Sakura's chin and lifted
it up an inch.
"You ruined my life, little Sakura." Miro mocked.
Anger rose inside Sakura as she felt Miro's ice-cold hands
under her
chin. She spit in Miro's face. "You just ruined mine."
Sakura managed to
croak out.
Miro growled as she wiped Sakura's saliva off of her face.
She began to
laugh softly to herself, and her laughter rose to a high, squealing
pitch.
"I ruined yours?!" Miro laughed out.
Miro pulled out a key from around her neck. Sakura glared,
refusing to
give into Miro with the endless questions that pounded her head.
Through the
corner of her eye, she could see Syaoran slowly beginning to
stir. *Please
Syaoran, don't wake up! I don't want you involved in this!*
Miro smirked. "Key of darkness that holds the dark
hand of my wrath,
release yourself to me." Miro said calmly. Sakura squeezed
her eyes shut as
she felt a strong gust of wind sting her face. When the wind
calmed down,
Sakura peeked through her lids and found Miro holding a staff
much like hers.
But Miro's staff was pitch black with a dark crystal ball at
the top with
dark stars, a dark moon and a black sun moving dully around in
circles.
Sakura bit her tongue as billions of questions were about
to pour out.
"Holding yourself in, ne?" Miro grinned evilly.
"I might as well tell
you my side of the story, since I know you want to know."
Miro's eyes
thinned and glared evilly at Sakura which sent a cold feeling
slide down her
spine.
"I have powers, Cherry Blossom. When I was ten,
just like you, I knew I
had a tremendous amount of power. Also, when I was ten, I had
found the Clow
book. Guess what happened?! Right when I was about to open
the book, it
disappeared!" Miro spat as if the memory displeased her.
"My parents had a lot of power, and I knew I had
too. I knew about the
Clow Cards and the Clow Book. Heck, I knew everything about
magic. I was
supposed to be chosen as the card mistress. ME!! But right
at the last
second, they find someone else better for the job. Did you get
that, Sakura?
I am supposed to be the original CARD MISTRESS!" Miro
screamed into the air.
"My anger grew as I realized day by day that someone
else had powers that
matched mine. So, I made my own deck. My anger and frustration
were all
poured out into the cards. They used the powers of Darkness
and I knew that
they would be ten times stronger than those weak Sakura Cards.
"And of course, with my great mind, I added three
cards to the deck. The
block, explosion and the death card. Interesting, ne? I made
them stronger
everyday, and I knew that one day, I would destroy the one that
took away my
pride." Miro spat at Sakura. "That means you."
*I get it now. I didn't feel her aura because of the
Block card. She
used the Water Card on me in the swimming pool, the Woody in
the bedroom, and
the explosion card in the kitchen. Who knows how the Death Card
works.*
Sakura shivered at the thought and quickly glanced at the struggling
Syaoran
and managed to squeak out, "So what does this have to do
with Syaoran?"
"Well, glad you asked. You see, I knew about the
Prophecy of the United
Card mistress and Royal blood. Prince Syaoran could have been
mine if you
weren't in the way." Miro said casually. "But I'm
over it and I just want
to kill him too. Just for the fun of it."
"You're a monster." Sakura seethed.
"Am I, really? Didn't think you would realize it
so soon." Miro said.
"Woody! Return!" The vines that clenched Sakura's
ankles and wrists let her
go. Same for Syaoran. "We're going to have a little fight.
Your cards
against mine. I just want to prove to myself that mine are stronger."
Miro
smirked. "Ready when you are." She plopped on the
bed and watched as Sakura
made her way toward the fallen Syaoran.
"Sakura!" Syaorn fully awoke and stared at
Sakura. "What's going on?"
Syaoran rubbed his head painfully as he struggled to sit up.
"I have a little fight to take care of. Just relax.
It's going to be
okay." Sakura assured and leaned him against the wall to
rest. Sakura stood
up to face Miro. "Let's fight, spoiled brat."
Miro face scrunched up at the insult, but pushed it aside.
"I've been
waiting for this for years."
"Key that holds the power of the stars! Show your
true form to me! I,
Sakura, under contract command you, release!" Sakura shouted
and her key
shone with light and transformed into a staff.
Miro got up from her bed and stood up, facing Sakura.
With a snap of her
fingers, the two young women were transported somewhere else.
"This should
give a bit of room." Miro smirked at Sakura's surprised
face.
"Syaoran!" Sakura shouted realizing that Syaoran
wasn't in the giant,
dark room. "Where is he?" Sakura demanded.
"Still in my room, probably snoozing right about
now." Miro said.
"So where are we now?" Sakura asked.
"We're on my own grounds now." Miro replied
with an air of pride.
Sakura looked around and found the room to be very large in size
and very
dark. The walls, cieling, and floor were all painted black and
there was one
large window on the far wall that gave the room the least bit
of light.
"Let's get started! Windy! Release!" Miro
yelled. Her staff slammed
into a dark card and a women who looked just like Sakura's windy
card blew
out. (except that she was dressed in black.)
"Shield! Release!" Sakura said and a large
sheild appeared itself
before Sakura blocking her from the wind. But the wind was too
strong for
the sheild to bear, and the wind broke through. "Ahhh!"
Sakura quickly
covered her face with her arms as she felt a strong gust of wind
smack her
face.
Miro didn't show any mercy. "Firey! Release!"
Fire encircled Sakura
immedietly.
Sakura struggled up from the blow. "Watery! Put
out the fire!
Release!" The watery streamed out and put out the fire.
"Not bad." Miro chuckled. *Let's play with
the mind, shall we?*
"Illision! Release!" A blob of black plopped in front
of Sakura, not taking
any shape. "What's wrong?!" Miro became enraged as
she made the card return.
As the blob tried to mold itself in front of Sakura, she
smirked. *I
would like to see my family, but I don't know who they are.
So, the illusion
card can't trick me in any way.*
Miro frowned. "Earthy! Release!" The ground
shook from under Sakura's
feet.
"Fly! Release!" Sakura yelled and large wings
sprouted on her back. She
flew into the air right before the ground under her crumbled.
Sakura
breathed heavily and noticed that Miro was beginning to sweat.
*Good, she's
beginning to tire out. Eh, Can't blame her.* Sakura thought.
Sakura saw the whole ground diminish before her eyes.
*Those cards are
strong!*
Miro had black wings which had flown her to face Sakura
in the air.
*Without the ground, I guess we're going to continue on
the air.* Sakura
thought.
Miro was still a bit breathless and tired from her attacks.
*I'm losing
it. I have to wait for her to attack.*
*She's waiting for me. I better do something. These
wings may not last
forever.* Sakura tightened her grip on her staff. "Windy!
Blow her down!
Release!" Windy flew out of her card form and blew hard
against Miro's back.
She knew this would be a battle that would decide on their fate
and pushed
against Miro as hard as she could.
*Grrrrr....* Miro growled silently at the pushing force
on her back. It
was so hard to fight against this kind of pressure. "Ahhh!"
Miro felt
herself give in as she felt her self plummet to the endless ground.
**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**
Hehe, I know that this chapter is kind of short, but I still
have to decide
what to do with Miro. Hmmm. I got it! Haha! You'll have to
wait now.
Thanx for reading this horribly made fic.
