Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: A Fair To Remember!: A Peculiar Glow!

Well, a couple more days had now passed since me and Sakura had captured and sealed the Erase Card spirit at the cave. Which we had managed to do with a little help from Li. But, I still didn't trust Li, as he had a current track record of being quite arrogant whenever he was around me and Sakura. But with regard to our current situation that we were currently in...

"Well, I have to say that this kimono that I am currently wearing does indeed feel quite comfortable," I proceeded to say to myself in a low tone. And this was due to the fact that I was currently wearing a traditional Japanese kimono, which was in a dark blue color. Which just so happened to match the color of my Clow staff. But a the moment, me and Sakura, along with Julian, were currently enjoying the many booths at the festival that we were currently at.

And as for my kimono, though I never wore one back in the real world. I still felt as though I had been wearing it for years. Which seemed quite odd to me, but yet I still managed to just accept this. But, with what was still due to take place in the not too distant, and also the distant future. This was going to be something, that would wind up being easier to accept, then what was still too come.

But, as for the current situation? Well it was sort of cut short abruptly by the appearance of what appeared to be bright firefly type orbs of bright light. That had seemed to drift down in front of us from out of seemingly nowhere. And though I couldn't sense anything hostile so too speak, I did however sense the all too familiar feeling of a Clow Card spirit being present. And upon me then proceeding to turn my attention to Sakura, and then give her a slight nod. Sakura then understood what we both needed to do. Which was to go off for a brief few minutes, in order to complete a successful capture and sealing of yet another Clow Card. And as for the excuse that we needed to give to Julian, in order for both me and Sakura to accomplish this...

"So Julian? Me and Sakura are going to check out a couple more of the booths over there, we will catch up with you in a few minutes," I proceeded to say in as normal of a tone of voice as I could possibly say this statement in. Which thankfully wound up doing the trick.

And as me and Sakura sprinted off to find the Clow Card spirit. We quickly happened upon a slightly open area, and in the center of this open area, was what appeared to be a bright glowing source of light. And without having to turn to or acknowledge, or say anything to each other. Me and Sakura reached down the fronts of our respective kimonos and pulled out our respective Clow keys...

"Key of Clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, release!" Me and Sakura proceeded to chant together in unison. Which after a brief blowing of the wind around both me and Sakura. Our respective Clow keys expanded into our respective Clow staffs in a brief moment. Which was followed by me and Sakura grasping both of our respective Clow staffs with a quick overhanded and downward grasp. Which was then followed by us both proceeding to twirl our respective Clow staffs. To which we then wound up striking our respective battle ready poses.

And with both of our respective Clow staffs now grasped in our hands. Me and Sakura then both proceeded to raise our respective Clow staffs. "Clow Card, we command you to return to your power confined!" Me and Sakura both proceeded to chant together in unison. Which was while we both proceeded to swing our respective Clow staffs down at exactly the same time.

And after the all too familiar and sudden appearance of our two respective light aura glowing Clow Card halves proceeding to materialize on the tips of our respective Clow staffs. And once the Clow Card spirit was broken down, and was sucked into our respective Clow Card halves. To which both of our respective Clow Card halves had then proceeded to combine together, in order to form a complete Clow Card. The Clow Card was sealed. Which turned out to be the Glow Card. Which did help to explain what the multiple light colored orbs were.

And as for my overall thoughts regarding this current successful, and surprisingly much calmer sort of Clow Card capture of the Glow Card...

"Well, I guess some things in life, are truly just a wondrous sight to see. Sakura, what are you thoughts on this?" I asked, while I proceeded to turn my attention to her. Which while I held the now captured and sealed Glow Card in my dominant and currently free right hand. We both then proceeded to make our way back to the festival and to Julian.

Unfortunately, Sakura never wound up giving me an answer to my question. But the good news, was that I somehow knew, that Sakura actually did in fact feel the same way that I currently did. However, though neither of us would know. Well, at least until much later on in the future. That the capturing and sealing of the still remaining Clow Cards, would wind up becoming the least of both my and Sakura's worries. And even after the Clow Cards were all captured, our journey as Cardcaptors would only be just beginning. And would help to prove that the phrase, 'I worked hard enough for three,' would wind up being proven to be more then just a phrase.

In fact, it would wind up being the case in the future, in an actual literal sense. But that, is for a much later date.
