Sakura felt a hand grab hers. Turning around, she felt herself start to tear up. "Please, Syaoran, don't leave me." she said. She looked down into his amber eyes and shivered. The next thing she knew, Syaoran let go of her hand and whispered "I love you, Sakura.", and then he slowly disappeared into a mist of white.
Sakura started to whimper before she dropped down onto the steps of the clock tower. A tear fell down her cheek before dropping onto the cement staircase. Another tear fell until she started to cry hysterically. An anguished scream rose from her throat before letting loose out of her lips.
She didn't even care to do anything, unmoving as the remaining Sakura cards burned inside her pocket. The Sakura cards glowed and shot out, moving toward a dark shadow, 'Void'. The Clow card, that Clow Reed abandoned, and buried underneath his house. 'Void' appeared in front of her and Sakura just whimpered mercilessly. Sakura then shot up, off her feet with a new type of determination.
Sakura Spoke, her voice broken and hoarse, "I know how you must've felt, to have the person you love leave and abandon you but you don't need to feel the way you do, Please Void, let me take the pain away…let me heal you."
Void, surprised, looked at the young mistress in front of her. She looked broken yet strong. Void nodded, "I, and the other cards will live in you. My pain will be your pain and your happiness will be mine. In order for my hatred and anger to be released, to feel as you once did, You must be burdened with the pain I feel. You will lose everyone you ever cared about. And with time, you will feel the pain, you will be the only one to remember what you've lost. Your memories and that of everyone's will lie within you. Are you ready to go through with that?"
Sakura looked up at Void with watered and red eyes. Void spoke, her voice carrying throughout Tomoedo. "Very Well, then"
Void used time to turn back time, Sakura turning into an infant. Void rose, using magic to transport into the Kinomoto residence. With a grim face, Void returned into a Clow Card before transforming into a Sakura card. Infant Sakura giggled. Void and all of the Sakura cards glowed before shooting into Infant Sakura's center: her soul, spirit, mind, and heart. Infant Sakura Cried.
Downstairs, in the Kinomoto Residence
Fujitaka smiled, looking down at his wife Nadeshiko laughing at a 7 year old Touya. Touya was a small child with jet black hair and piercing black eyes. "Okaa-san, look at me.", the young boy said. Touya put up building blocks as tall as him. Nadeshiko laughed, "My, what a bright young boy you are." Fujitaka nodded.
All of a sudden, a cry rang though the Kinomoto residence. Nadeshiko shot up and ran toward little Sakura's room. Opening the door, she saw infant Sakura crying. Picking up Sakura, Nadeshiko held Sakura, shushing her. Instantly, Sakura stopped crying and looked up at her mother. Her red and puffy emerald eyes watered. Nadeshiko couldn't help but notice Sakura's eyes were no longer bright.
2 years Later, Kinomoto Residence
9 year old Touya sat in his living room. Trying to do his math homework, he got up to go call for his mother. 2 years old Sakura, waddled toward where Touya's homework laid. Grabbing his pencil, she giggled before penciling in the answers.
In the doorway, Touya and Nadeshiko stood, gasping at little Sakura. Touya walked toward Sakura and picked her up. Nadeshiko picked up Touya's homework and glanced it over. Fujitaka came home early from work. "what's wrong?". he asked. Nadeshiko simply walked over to her husband and handed him the homework. Fujitaka laughed, "Touya got it all right, where's the surprise in that." Nadeshiko just shook her head, "Touya didn't do that, Sakura did."
Fujitaka just shook his head, "That's impossible." Everyone turned toward Sakura who just simply giggled.
Doctor Kaho-Mizuki's Office
"Well, there's nothing wrong with Sakura. In fact, I've handed her a series of tests. It seems she's, well…to put it lightly, just smart. I've called a specialist in from Hong Kong. Have you heard of the Li's" Doctor Kaho-Mizuki asked. Nadeshiko nodded, "They're a very prestigious family. I believe Xi-Xi Li is the head of the LI Corporation. I don't see how that's going to help us," Nadeshiko said. "Well, I was well referring to Xi-Xi's wife, Yelen Li. She's a Doctor like me but she specializes in predicaments like these"
Fujitaka spoke, "I'm confused, specializes in what exactly?" Doctor Kaho-Mizuki smiled, "In Gifted Children, Kinomoto-san. Your daughter is gifted, a genius and prodigy is the correct term I believe. Now, How gifted is she? Well, that's for Yelen-sama to find out"
Li Residence
Yelen kissed her Husband's Cheek. "I'll be going to Tomoedo, Japan for quite some time. Apparently, there's a little girl who's 2 year old who's gifted." Xi-Xi nodded. Yelen hugged her 4 beautiful daughters and smiled down at her 6 year old son, Xiao-Lang. Picking up her bags, Yelen turned toward the door and walked down the steps, into a limo.
2 Years Later
Little Sakura sat down in a white room. She scribbled something down on a piece of paper. Outside the room, Yelen talked to Fujitaka, "How has she been, since the accident?" Fujitaka's face was grim, "Since we've all lost Nadeshiko, things have been hectic with the funeral. Sakura has been more withdrawn that usual." Yelen nodded, "I thought so, she's been working more diligently in her studies, soon, she'll be done with her college studies. In Martial arts, she is far more superior than anyone I have ever seen. She's been able to take 20 men about 10 times her size in less than a couple minutes without a scratch. She's also completed a little over 62 languages. I believe Nadeshiko would have been proud of her."
Fujitaka just shook his head, "Nadeshiko would've been happy just to see Sakura smile. I haven't seen her smile a real smile since the day she was born. It's like she's void of any feelings." A tear slipped down Fujitaka's face.
All of a sudden, 3 men in black garments barged through the room. Yelen could clearly see a tiger tattoo on the neck of one of the men, narrowing her eyes, she was about to summon her magic when little Sakura appeared in front of her. Time seemed to rewind. Those without magic didn't notice. The tigers seemed to be walking backwards outside. Li Yelen turned toward Fujitaka against her will.
Then time stopped. Little Sakura tugged on her father's pants leg. Fujitaka looked down, "What is it Sakura?" Sakura tried to plaster a smile on her face, "Can you take Yelen to get some ice cream down the street?" Fujitaka shook his head, "How about a little later, sweetie?" Sakura shook her head, before her eyes glowed a eerie green, "No, you will go out the back door and take Yelen down the road. You will not return until later in the day.", Sakura said in a deep voice unlike hers. Yelen watched in horror as Fujitaka grabbed her hand and walked toward the back door. Yelen opened her mouth to protest as she was being dragged to the back when Little Sakura spoke, "I'm sorry but I need you to protect what's left of my family." Yelen looked at her with sad eyes. Right as Yelen and Fujitaka walked out the back door, 3 men came barreling through the door. Sakura glowed a eerie red and burst into flames, "You guys picked the wrong place.", little Sakura said before bright flames of fire burst out of little Sakura inflaming the entire place. The 3 men screamed and Sakura closed her eyes. She felt the magic over power her and something from the back of her mind came through. Sakura fainted.
flashback
"Class, we have a new student. Please welcome Syaoran Li." A Young 10 year old boy walked through the classroom door. Sakura giggles and watched as Tomoyo whispered something. Terada-sensie continued, "Syaoran Li, would you like to introduce yourself?" The boy nodded, bowing, he said, "I'm from Hong Kong, My name in Syaoran Li and I am in the 4th grade." Terada-sensie nodded, "You may sit behind Kinomoto Sakura."
Sakura raised her hand and watched as the boy stopped next to her desk, staring down at her and she staring up at him.
Flash
Sakura hit the volleyball up and watched as Syaoran hit the ball back toward her. He laughed and she felt herself start to feel warm inside. She looked toward the side and saw Tomoyo, Rika, Takashi, Eriol, Chiharu, and Mei-ling staring at them.
Flash
Sakura was running through a swarm of people, holding a teddy-bear in one hand. She forced her legs to go faster. In a distance, she could see him. Calling out his name, she yelled, "Syaoran-kun". The boy turned around and watched as she ran to him.
Sakura jumped on the other boy, she felt him hug her, his grip on her tightening as if he was going to lose her for life. "Syaoran-kun, do you really have to leave?", she asked.
"Yes.", the boy replied. Sakura broke loose of their embracement and stared at him with watering eyes. "Please, Stay.". Syaoran shook his head, his heart breaking as he replied, "I have to finish my studies, Sakura-chan, But I promise, after I'm finished with my Li training, I'll return."
Sakura whimpered, looking down at her teddy-bear, she held it out for him to take. She watched as he grasped it, staring at it for what seemed to be hours on end.
"Li-sama, it's time to take your leave, the plane will be leaving any second.", a man said as he appeared next to the distress couple. "Yes, Wei-san.", Syaoran replied.
Sakura looked down at the ground, tears dropping onto Tomoedo Airport's floor. Suddenly, Sakura saw a blur of a teddy-bear, resembling hers but with a green bow. She grabbed it and when she looked up to say something, she saw Syaoran was already walking into the airplane, with her teddy-bear in hand. Looking down, she held onto Syaoran's teddy.
"I love you, Syaoran-kun", she whispered. She turned around, about to walk away, when she felt the wind carry across the distance three words following her name.
"I love you, Sakura-chan"

End of Flashback
Little Sakura woke up and looked around the hospital room. Trying to get up, she noticed a doctor walking toward her. "Please, Don't try to move. You just survived a massive fire. A young man got you out just in time. Do you remember your name?" Sakura didn't reply.
"I'm sorry to say, but there was no immediate family on the scene. Would you like us to contact your family?", the doctor asked. Sakura shook her head, "I don't have a family. I've lost everyone."
