It was the knocking sound that pierced the fog surrounding Sakura's mind, finally bringing her awareness back to the present. Opening her eyes, she absently noted that she was in a different place now - a different dream. It was a little sad to her, she thought, that she'd quickly lost the wonder she'd first had when it came to the dreams. Resting her head on the cold stone behind her, she took a deep breath, and hauled herself up and off the floor ( ... )

Yuuko gaped. It was very unwitchlike, nay, it was very unYuukolike to gape. But gape she did, for standing right in front of her, wearing the same gown she had been wearing at the Masquerade, so long ago ( ... )

The comfort that washed over Sakura at the sight of a familiar face made her feel weak and more than a little confused, so much so that it was all she could do to cling to Yuuko and bask in her presence. She hadn't even bothered to look around the room they were in, but she had to take notice now that she was seated on wonderfully soft cushions with her 'nee-chan beside her ( ... )

Yuuko frowned, a minor crease appearing between her eyebrows. "The person who kidnapped you is named Ken..kun? Do you know this boy?" The witch was racking her brain trying to think of a boy named Ken, someone young enough that the polite Sakura would call -kun. She was coming up empty. She left a mental note to herself to ask the others when she got back. But getting back would mean leaving Sakura here alone...

"You mean you've been asleep this whole time?" Yuuko couldn't bring herself to say that it had been weeks. Maybe a month or more by now, it was nigh impossible to keep track of time in this city...

"Do you remember anything about the place? Something you can tell us to help us find you? Did he put a spell on you to make you sleep for a long time?"

Yuuko made herself pause and calm down slightly. "I should let you know, we found Touya. He's worried about you and he's doing everything he can to help us find you, but he's doing just fine, and I'm keeping him safe." If someone, Fuuma, she thought was going to try ( ... )

Yuuko's mind was quick and calculating as she made sure to commit all of these details to memory. A Church member, Sakura had corresponded with him online (someone could probably find that and track it)... Something was wrong with him?

"Perhaps something happened when he joined the Church," she replied, unwilling for Sakura's sake to declare this Ken completely evil outright, no matter what she thought. "Maybe the the Church makes good people evil besides just taking the evil ones..."

She frowned slightly. "Then you've been sleeping for weeks. You need to wake up soon. But now that we know who has you, we can find you," she smiled. Whatever magic is on this city has made it very, very hard for anyone to track you." She paused, hesitant to ask, but deciding that she had to. "You say the room was weird? What made it weird? And...did you really hit your own head, Sakura-chan?"

Trying to lighten up the mood, she said, "I'll tell him you're alright, but I'd rather the two of you meet over my dinner table than in a dream."

Sakura brushed a lock of her hair away from her face - was it just her imagination or was it longer? - before answering softly, "I hope that's the case. What if something had happened to him to change him before he even got to this place? And if you're right... then the Church is even scarier than I first thought."

She bit her lip then, and huddled a bit closer to the fire as she remembered. "It was very, very cold in there. I couldn't feel anything at all, except the cold. And the room was dark. I couldn't see anything at all. And it seemed to get bigger and bigger, until I couldn't even find the door anymore. There was this... magic there, too."

She paused, then continued. It had been so long since she'd seen Yuuko, that she didn't want to taint their meeting by lying. "Ken-kun threw me into the room. I hit my head then. It hurt," she whispered.

At the thought of seeing her brother again, in the flesh instead of in a dream, her expression brightened. "Onii-chan can cook! He makes really good fried noodles!"

"A magic room, huh? Maybe that's why we haven't been able to find you. It could be hiding you from us."

Yuuko swallowed. So the son of a...he had hurt her. She pulled Sakura into a hug. "I'm so sorry," she murmured.

She grinned and pulled back at Sakura's next comment. "Good, I'll put him to work when we get you back. Him and Watanuki working together should make us a feast!" the witch cackled gleefully.

Yuuko paused and stared into the fire for a while. Should she tell Sakura-chan about Fuuma? Kamui was right in a way. If she didn't tell anyone what they were facing, she was no worse in trying to protect everyone than he was. She knew Sakura was strong and capable, but to give her and additional worry while she was all alone in the dreamscape...

She changed subject slightly. "What I don't get is why this Ken took you. There haven't been any ransom letters, nothing. He clearly doesn't want anything from us, or we'd have heard something by now." What if Fuuma got him to do it? spoke up a nagging voice in her mind. ( ... )

Sakura nodded solemnly. "The room's magic felt like the Church's. And I couldn't use my Cards while I was in there at all, or even access my magic ( ... )

Yuuko made a half-growl of frustration when she heard that. "We're talking about some strong magic then, if it can block the Cards." she paused. "If there was one thing that confounded magician hated it was anti-mage spells, and I watched him soak that card paper in every single potion he could think of... Not that any of our magic seems to play by the rules anymore here." She didn't bring up the fact that situations were beginning to arise where she found herself not having to extract payment, namely her involvement with Kamui. She was worried that such situations would become more frequent, and she would find herself in a position where her magic would no longer be bound to keep others safe ( ... )

"The Church scares me." Sakura didn't feel like she had anything to lose in confessing that to the older woman. "Its magic... feels wrong somehow. I don't know if I can explain any better than that."

She managed a grateful smile at Yuuko, before blinking. "Zack-san has a boyfriend? Really?" It was like her onii-chan and Yukito-san, though she wouldn't say that out loud while her brother was around in this world. She didn't want to embarrass him.

Shaking her head to clear that thought away, she blinked again. "A... party? For me? Oh, no! It would be too much trouble!" she stammered, flushing darkly. "I'm not worth it, really! Just a dinner with our friends would do!"

Hearing Yuuko's next words made her freeze though, her hands, which she had been waving around frantically, stilling in mid-air. "The Mirror Card?" It had been so long since that had even crossed her mind, and she felt guilty all of a sudden for not thinking more about it, for not trying to figure out who was out to hurt her, and, more importantly, her big brother.
