(A/N: I don't own Card Captors Sakura, just my own character, Yuriko, who is also a collector of the Clow Cards.)

Yuriko was walking down the busy street as people pushed past her. She always loved the spring. The flowers were in bloom and it made her smile. She walked by a flower stand and stopped. She saw that there were tiger lilies for sale. They were her favorite flower. She went inside and bought a dozen.

'They'll look great on the hallway table,' she thought with a smile. She continued to walk and saw some girls she recognized from school. It was Sakura and her best friend Tomoyo. Yuriko always wanted to be a part of their group. Mysterious things always happened around them as well as Li and Meilin. She wanted to be apart of that.

'Now's as good a time as any!' she thought and walked up to Sakura and Tomoyo.

"Hi, Sakura. Hi, Tomoyo." Yuriko called and walked up to them.

"Oh, hi Yuriko. What's up?" Sakura asked.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to a shop that just opened up not to far from here. It's really great, it has all kinds of things and even a place to eat!" Yuriko said in invitation.

"Sure! We have time, right Tomoyo?"

"Yeah, let's go!"

Yuriko led them to the store called "Shop 'n' Eat". (A/N: sorry, I just couldn't think of anything!)

They went inside and looked at all the things. That store really did have everything. They had toys, jewelry, a minimart, an arcade, and anything you could think of. They stopped everywhere and bought so many things, that they couldn't carry them all.

They finally went to the restaurant area. They sat the bar and thinking about what to order to drink.

"That was so much fun! We should really do this again sometime soon!" Yuriko said happily.

"I agree! This is such a great place! I can get everything I need here!" Sakura smiled.

"I'm glad you invited us to come here! Thanks!" was Tomoyo's response.

"No problem! I don't mind at all!" Yuriko said modestly. She turned towards the window and saw Li and Meilin walking by. Yuriko turned towards Sakura and Tomoyo.

"Hey, isn't that Li and Meilin out there?" Yuriko asked.

"It is! Why don't you invite them over?" Sakura said with a smile.

"Okay!" Yuriko said. She jumped off the stool and walked over to Li and Meilin.

"Hi guys!" Yuriko said. Li and Meilin looked to see who was saying hi. They saw Yuriko walking up to them. They went to meet her.

"Hi, Toriyama-san! What's going on?" Meilin asked.

"Well, Sakura, Tomoyo and I are at the store getting something to drink and were wondering if you'd like to join us."

"Okay! Let's go Syaoron!" Meilin said, dragging Li with her to the store. The three of them went in and sat.

"Hi Kinamoto-san, Hi Daidoji-san!" Meilin said and jumped into the seat next to them.

"Hi Meilin! Let's order!" Tomoyo said. They all ordered their drinks. They sat talking about school. They were all in the same class, so they were talking about how boring it was and getting the homework.

Yuriko remembered her flowers and saw that they were wilting.

"AH! I got to go home!"

"Why? What's wrong?" Sakura asked.

"My flowers are wilting. Sorry about having to leave like this, but-"

"It's okay, I understand. See you Yuriko!"

Yuriko ran home carrying her flowers. She arrived at her house the same time her mother did.

"Hi mom! Look, I bought flowers!" Yuriko said, quickly jamming the flowers in a vase full of water.

"Hi Yuriko, how was your day?" Her mother asked.

"Good. I showed the new store to my friends."

"That's good, our store needs more customers." Yuriko's parents were the owners of the new store where she went with Sakura and co. earlier. She smiled at the thought of helping her family with their business. When she grew older, she would have a job there as well as the responsibility of being the owner herself.

Yuriko went up to her room and lay down on her bed. She looked up at the ceiling still thinking about the secret of Sakura and her friends and why they always had mystery about them.

Sakura and her friends were still at the store talking and laughing. Suddenly, Sakura felt a feeling that a Clow Card was near. Li had the same feeling and they ran out of the store to where the feeling was coming from. Tomoyo and Meilin were close behind, Tomoyo getting her camera ready.

They reached the place where the Clow Card was just in time. There was a person standing in the middle of a crowd of people who was brandishing a sword. She was swinging the sword almost hitting many people. The crowd ran in fright, so Sakura, Li, Tomoyo and Meilin were all lost in the crowd. Yuriko was still lying on her bed when she had a strange feeling, a strange twinge. She stood up and had the greatest urge to leave her house to where the strange feeling was coming from.

She ran down her stairs and to the busy street. She heard a few screams and went in the direction of the screams. When she reached it, she got tangled in a group of people running. Once she got past them, she saw what they were running from. It was a normal person, but she had a sword. She saw Sakura, Li, Tomoyo and Meilin.

'This is the place where the feeling was coming from.'

Yuriko felt a fluttering from behind her and turned. She was too slow and only saw a blur of feathers. She looked back to Sakura and there was a stuffed toy talking to her. She saw Sakura pull of her necklace and say some words that she could just hear.

"The Key That Hides The Forces Of Darkness... Show Your True Form Before Me! RELEASE!!" She heard Sakura say.

All of a sudden, the necklace grew and became a staff-like thing. Sakura and Li fought with the person until she fainted and the sword dropped. Before it reached the ground, it turned into a card and flew into Sakura's hand.

"Now we have another Clow Card!" Sakura said with a smile.

"Heh heh heh...heh heh" Yuriko giggled nervously. She saw Sakura and co. turn to her and start towards her right before she fell to the ground in a faint. "Yuriko? Yuriko! Yuriko!? Are you okay? Wake up!"

Yuriko opened her eyes slowly and saw four blurry figures. She closed her eyes and reopened them. The blurs became clearer. She saw Sakura, Li, Tomoyo and Meilin standing above her.

"AH! Get-get away from me!" She shrieked, moving closer to the head of the bed.

"Yuriko? Are-are you okay?"

"Go-go-go away!"

"Ah, Yuriko-"

"GO! Stay...away-from me!" Yuriko stood up and saw that she was in her own room. She slowly walked towards the door.

"Yuriko, please, listen to me! I just want to talk," Sakura said quietly. Yuriko saw her chance and ran out the door, down the stairs. Before she could reach the front door, she bumped into the stuffed doll Sakura was talking with.

"Yuriko, you're a Card Captor! That's why you had that strange feeling!" It spoke to her.

"I'm hallucinating! That, or I've gone crazy!" Yuriko cried. Sakura, Li, Tomoyo and Meilin came down the stairs after her.

"Please, Yuriko, calm down. We just need to talk to you."

Yuriko gave up and sat on the couch in the living room.

"Yuriko, this may be hard to believe, but Kero, the stuffed doll that talked to you, says that you are a Card Captor."

They spent about two hours explaining everything to Yuriko.

"Let me get this straight. All of you capture this things called Clow Cards because Sakura let them out in the first place. Now, I have to join you on this "hunt" of yours. That's what that weird feeling was?"

"Basically," Sakura said, trying to stay calm after the talk.

"Okay, I get it. I'll help, I mean, why not?" Yuriko said. 'So now I know the secret that I felt I wanted to be a part of. Now I am. I guess that that's what I asked for.'
