0. Arival at Tomoeda

Rin's POV
Damm it! That cup is back again?! Can't it just leave us alone? I wonder what the grail is thinking when it suddenly decide to move to Tomoeda.Well, at least there we'll have a chance at meeting this new "strongest mage", according to Eriol-the reincarnation of Clow Reed, the (previous​)strongest mage of all time that is.....then again Clow was known to be a trickster type too....But anyways, it's a good thing that i know someone at Tomoeda, if not, finding a place to stay for a long period of time is going to be much harder, we also have to locate the exact location of that thing too. The person I knew was actually my father's friend, he was a kind person and he's a college professor as I recall. He's the one who gave father the fossilized snake skin he used to summon in Goldie, or Gilgamesh. I took the phone right beside me and start putting in numbers, coming out of the phone was a warm and gentle voice of a man:
"Hello? This is Kinomoto Fujikata."
"Fujikata-san, do you remember me? I'm Tohsaka Rin." I said
"Oh yes, Rin-san, it's been a long time, how are you?" He asked, still as caring as always
"I'm fine, thanks." I replied
"Why did you call me? Do you need some help?"
"Yes, actually. In few days, me and 3 of my friends are going to Tomoeda for a long time so we need a place to stay, can you help us?"
"Sure, you could stay at our house. Touya is spending his last years in collage in America so he won't be home very often and I'm at England for some businesses and I'm not gonna be back for at least 2 years so there's only Sakura home."
"Sakura? I haven't seen her ever since she was a little kid. But wait, how could your house fit 6 people when it's only a house made for a family of 4?"
"Oh, we moved to a bigger house, well, a villa to be precise recently, take a piece of paper and a pen out, I'll tell you the address and don't worry about Sakura, she gets along with just about everybody." He said
...
"Thank you, if there's anything, I'll call you back, I have to go now." I said after taking the notes
"Goodbye." He said before the call ends
Good, now we have a place to stay, things just got much easier now. Lets start packing up the things we need.

Arturia's POV
We finally arrived at Tomoeda. The trip luckily didn't take too long. I started to look around. Rin said that someone will pick us up.
"Sakura! There you are!" Rin said
I turned my head at where she was looking at saw a girl with short brown hair and another one with long wavy black hair.


Looks like they see us too, the girls started walking towards us, Rin also went closer so me and Shirou followed her.
"Hi Rin-san, long time no see." The brown haired girl smile
"Same here, Sakura." Rin said
"Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Daidouji Tomoyo, Sakura's friend." The black haired girl lightly bowed
"Sakura, I want you to meet my friends, this is Shirou and this is..."
"I'm Arturia." I said
Rin and Shirou gave me a suprised look. I just told my real name to someone I barely know, but I could feel that this girl is very trustworthy.
"Hmm, I thought you said there were going to be 4 of you." The brunette said
"Well, our other friend is busy right now so they will come after." Rin explained, when we heard that the grail is back, it was decied that Shirou will fight as a master instead of Rin and she will focus on providing me with the mana I need to stay in this world. We haven't summoned the servant yet due to some difficulty so there's only 3 of us.
"Oh ok." Sakura said
Sakura look at me with a weird face so I did the obvious thing to do, I asked her what was wrong, the answer was somewhat unsettleing​ to me:
"You look like someone I saw in my dream, but the person I saw was in red armor and tied her hair in a pony tail, she kept saying something, I can't quite hear what she's saying, but its something with the word 'father' I think, it's kinda creepy but I feel sorry for that person."
I could only think of one person that have that description , who she saw in the dream was no doubt Mordred. Now I feel really worry. And the thing Sakura's friend said next only made things worse:
"Sakura is well known amongst her friends for having the ability to predict the future very accurately especially by dreaming so maybe we'll meet that person soon."
Oh no, not this, I'm not ready to face her. I don't want to admit it, but I'm scared, scared of what could happen and of my regretfull past that Mordred will remind me of.
I tried to keep a straight face and said with a fake smile:
"Maybe we will meet this person."
"Hmm, so Sakura could predict the future. Would you mind telling what is waiting for us in the near future?" Shirou asked
"Sure! No problem! But lets get back first." Sakura said
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Shirou's POV
After some time, we had basically everything settled down now. Tomoyo had already gone back home as soon as we got here so there were only 4 of us in the house but we (excluding Sakura) couldn't​ help but feel there are more, much more people in this place.
We were sitting down on the living room table when Sakura came from the kitchen with a tray of tea, cups and various types of treats. In the brunette's hand was also a pink book with golden details, it has Sakura's name literally written all over it.

I offer help because that's the natural thing to do...and because houses work is secretly my hobby. So after a while, Sakura opens the book to reveal that there were no pages but instead, pink cards. I'm pretty sure that the others are sense the unusual powerful magic from those cards too, it reminds me of noble phantasms. Weird...
Rin's POV
"What are these?" I asked, looking at the mysterious cards that were completely covered with very, very strong magic
"I-it's welll...umm...it's...a gift, yeah! This is a gift from a friend of mine." She said
Well thats not supicious at all, there is definitely something more than that
"So what do you use them for?" Saber asked
"I use it for fortune telling, you guys said you wanted to know the future, right? And I'm guessing that waiting for me to have a specific dream will not be ideal so I'll use something that is just as effective, that is by using my...custom tarot cards, yeah..."
Hmm...interesting, Sakura is acting weird(again). Just like whenever she had something to hide, wich don't happen very often due to her honest personality. Oh the memories are coming back to me.
Arturia's POV
We have been doing this for a few minutes now and the little girl's predictions are pretty accurate, specially the "life-threatening event" part, that is obviously the holy grail war, yeah, "holy". Then, Sakura started predicting our future individually. It was my turn, to be honest, I'm a bit nervous. Sakura began shuffle the cards, dividing and then placing them, all with her left hand although she's not a lefty. After that, she flips the cards one-by-one in a very specific order. Finally, when all of them was fliped, Sakura carefully looked through the cards. When Sakura was done, she said:
"Arturia-san, in the near future, you will see 3 people that are very close and loyal to you. A person that you hate and, someone that is both identical to you but also the total oposite of you at the same time."
Ok, now I am certain that I will see Mordred again. Maybe this isn't so bad, maybe, this is a chance, Mordred definitely deserves more than an apology.
"Can you tell me about that last person please?" I requested
"Sure, just wait for me a minute, is that ok?" She asked
"It's fine, thank you."
After repeating the same steps, the young girl finally said:
"Hmm...you and that person are currently at bad terms with each other, right? But don't worry, in the future, your relationship with this person will improve tremendously, but it will take time..."
I was very happy to say the least, and then, her next words took me by suprise:
"...and this peron is...no, will be in love with someone. Well, thats it for now, I could only go as far as this with someone​ I don't know, sorry."
"It's ok, thank you." This was...I don't know how to react to this. I've never seen Mordred as a romantic person before so this is completely new to me and properly anyone who knows her as well. Looks like I've found myself looking forward to this much more than I thought.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Hours have passed and now it's finally dinner time. My stomach was screaming when the smell of chiken curry hits my nose. I can't wait! Sakura said that she will make the meal herself as a welcoming gift, and who can't say no to good meal? Definitely not me. But even though I'm very hungry, I must keep my manners, I'm still a guess after all.
...
"One more please." I said for the 5th time
"I'm glad that you're​ liking it but be sure to leave some space for dersert." The kind girl said
...
When we were reaching the end of meal, Sakura suddenly droped her spoon and pulled her hand back, her face expressing pain. Oh no, please don't be- it is, the blood red command seals are on the back of the girl's hand. Why, why this innocent young girl? Just..why?!
"Sakura, those marks..." Rin saw them
"H-Hoe?! W-what are these?! Where did they come from?!" Sakura expresses a mix of suprise and confusion, wich is understandable
"Sakura, the red marks there, are a sign that you where chosen by the not-so-holy grail to fight as a master in the holy grail war." Rin said
"A...master? And what is the grail war?" Sakura asked, confusion took over her face
"It's what you've predicted, that 'life-threatening event'. It's basically the battle between 7 mages and-"
"Wait, how did you know that I'm a mage?" Sakura cuts Shirou off
"What?! You're a mage?!" We were all suprised
Rin's POV
What?! Since when did Sakura became a freaking mage?! Well that actually explained the cards and her behavior. Now that I think about it, the magic from the cards feels rather familiar to me, I think that I have encountered it in England-wait a minute, could she be...
"Sakura, can you show us your power?" I asked, I have to know if this is truly the case
"Umm, ok." Sakura stands up and takes out a weird looking key,then, she uses a spell, I think:
"O key that hides the power of the stars, reveal your true nature to me, I, Sakura command you under our contract, RELEASE!"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

A magical circle appears under Sakura, it's the exact one on the rear of the book and cards. The key then levitate and started spinning around as it grew larger by the second. Yup. She's definitely the mage that Eriol was talking about. What are the odds of this happening to us. As the young mage grabs her "key" that is now about a meter long. This is great! Not only do we have someone that knows this place like the back of her hand, but she happens to be the most powerful mage there is! The rest of the night we spent time explaining to her how this war works and she introduced us to the "Beast of the seal", Cerberus wich took the form of, out of all things, a teddy bear.
========================================
I hope that you enjoy this. I'm really bad at explaining things so I might miss some important information so if you don't have time to check out the series then I recommend watching a review or reading a bit through the time line to better understand this, here's the link:
http://cardcaptorsakura.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_of_events . You don't have to read through the whole thing though, just to "during the second movie" part, the rest won't be touched on because it's complicated. Also, English is not my first language so if you find a mistake mostly in spelling or grammar, please tell me so i could fix it. Thank you.
