Chapter One: Unsual Circumstances

Ripples come out of nowhere. The next thing is that we see a girl with long auburn brown hair and green eyes, with a small yellow bear-like creature with wings. We see a set of cards flying around the girl.

The girl sees a boy on the Tokyo Tower with a staff that has a symbol of the sun on the top end. The girl turns toward the bear-like creature.

Girl: Kero, who is that boy?

Kero didn't respond, but the boy did. He jumped off the tower in response.

We see the girl sleeping restlessly. Kero goes over to the girl.

Kero: Is there something wrong, Torika?

The girl, named Torika, wakes up and finds Kero staring down at her.

Torika: Ahhhhh!!!!!

She then knocks Kero away, causing him to hit the wall.

Kero: Once again you must have some sort of explanation.

Torika: Oh, it's only you. I'm sorry.

Kero: It's okay, Torika.

Torika: I had a dream.

Kero: Prophetic or what?

Torika: I don't know, Kero. I saw a boy, and he had a staff of some kind.

Kero: I'm not sure of what you mean, but something tells me that you are coming to that point in time.

Torika: You don't mean...

Kero: Yep. You're starting to fall victim to love.

Torika (blushing): I-I have no idea of what you mean.

Kero: Sure you do.

Torika: Why don't we go to the shrine.

Kero: Yeah, let's!

Torika: I'll invite Maddy and Tai.

Kero: WOOHOO!!!!

Torika goes to the living room to tell her mother, Sakura, and her father, Li.

Kero (thoughts): I don't know where this could be going, but could it be? Clow Reed? No wait a minute, that's not possible, Eli could be in his 20s, while the boy Torika described was a lot younger. Is it possible? Could Eli have a son? I need to tell the Li, Sakura, and Yue.

Kero heads down stairs to tell Li and Sakura about the dream.

Sakura: Kero, what is it?

Kero: I need to talk to both of you, but we also need Yue to be with us as well.

Li: Let me guess, Torika's coming to that age isn't she?

Kero: Worse as it turns out. I'll explain more at the shrine with Yue.

Sakura: Something tells me that he has returned.

Kero: No he hasn't.

Li: But Eli was able to keep his child-like appearance for who knows how long. Could it be possible that he decided to stay in his youthful state?

Kero: I'm not sure. But maybe Yue could be able to know what's going on.

A girl was sweeping the temple grounds, she was then distracted by Torika calling her name.

Torika: Hana!

Hana: Miss Torika!

Hana begins hugging Torika causing her face to change colors.

Torika: Hana... Choking... Not breathing...

Hana: Oh, sorry. What do you want Miss Torika?

Sakura: Kero needs to talk to Yue and both of us.

Maddy: Hey. Where's Tai?

Suddenly the see a winged being land on the ground.

Maddy: Tai, if you can hear me, you can just give me a warning that you are about to transform.

Yue: He can't hear you.

Li: Now that we're all here you can tell us Kero.

Just before Kero could open his mouth, a great light comes and they are trapped in a vortex of some type. They don't know where or when they will go, or if they will live or die.
