Chapter One: A New Presence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a strange, dark room, a boy sits on a black chair laughing quietly to himself as he looks into a bowl of the darkest liquid. On the surface of the murky water, is an image of Sakura.
"Kinomoto Sakura eh? She looks like a child! How is this frail child capable of the Clow Cards? O should be the one with them all! The most powerful sorcerer of all time! Miss Kinomoto, Clow Reed's successor, is gonna have the time of her life…MWAHAHA!"
Previously on Card Captor Sakura-The Sealed Card
Sakura watched as the HOPE card landed in her hands.
"Don't cry, everything will be alright"
Sakura held the card and looked at Syaoran.
"Syaoran…it's okay if you don't have any more feelings for me! That doesn't matter to me at all Syaoran…but I'm in love with you and I just wanted you to know that I'm in love with you and that's all… You're the most important person to me in the whole wide world!"
Sakura watched as Syaoran stared at her and cried.
"And you are mine…Sakura."
Sakura gazed at the HOPE card remembering what had happened the day before. Syaoran had caught her in his arms before the building had returned. Sakura smiled and blushed.
"SAKURAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"HOEEE!" yelled Sakura. "KERO-CHAN!"
"You're gonna be late for school!" said Kerberous.
"S-school?" Sakura's mind was blank.
"THE NADESHIKO FESTIVAL IS BEING REPEATED BECAUSE EVERYONE LOST THEIR MEMORY!"
Sakura remembered everything. After the Sakura and Syaoran were down from the tower, everyone woke up and had only remembered the blackout. The only people who had remembered were Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meilin, Kero, Yukito, and herself. So, the school had decided that the festival would take place today as a redo of yesterday.
"EHHHHHH?" Sakura cried
Sakura grabbed her backpack and ran downstairs.
"Good morning Mom!" Today, her mom was wearing a yellow dress and a hat. Sakura smiled and hurried to the table.
"Good morning Big Brother!"
Toya looked at her slyly.
"Looks like the monster finally woke up! I still can't believe you're playing the princess for the festival! Did they pick you by accident?"
Sakura stomped his feet but missed.
"Ouch…" Sakura thought as she kept the pain of the hard floor in mind.
"GRRRR IM NOT A MONSTER!" Sakura yelled.
Sakura's dad brings breakfast and Sakura stops arguing with Toya.
"Good morning Father!"
"Good morning Sakura." Fijitaka Kinomoto smiled kindly at Sakura as he handed Toya and Sakura their breakfast. "I made you your favorite today!"
"Thanks Father!" Sakura grinned happily at her father. "I'll be leaving now!"
Sakura put on the knee pads, arm pads, and rollerblades. She skated quickly to school to see the rehearsal of the play they were doing.
"Good morning Sakura!"
Sakura turned around to see Yukito waving at her. Waving back, she said,
"Hello Yukito-san!"
Toya bicycled beside them as they went to school.
"Bye Sakura!" Yukito said throwing her a piece of candy. Sakura caught it and grinned at the flavor.
"Strawberry!" Sakura said happily as she walked to class 6-2.
"Good morning!" Sakura said to Tomoyo, Rika, Chiharu, and Takashi.
"Good morning!" they cried.
Sakura walked over to her desk and sat down, taking off her hat.
"Did you tell him yesterday Sakura-san?" Tomoyo asked.
"Mhmm!" Sakura nodded, smiling.
"I'm so glad! Li-kun returned home very happy last night! Meilin and I heard him mumbling "Sakura" in his sleep! Ohohohohoho!" Tomoyo said excitedly.
Sakura sweat dropped and turned a deep color of red.
"I'm so excited to film you tonight for the play! Sakura-san, in a costume I made for her being her kawaii self with Li-kun at night! This is a dream!" Tomoyo's eyes sparkled with joy and happiness.
Sakura blushed and said,
"Bu-"
"Good morning Sakura-san"
Sakura looked up and turned as red as a rose as she saw Syaoran walk up to her. He sat down removing his hat and gave her a kind, shy smile.
"G-good morning Syaoran-kun" Sakura said nervously.
Syaoran smiled and sat down.
"Okay everyone, get ready for the dress rehearsal!" said Naoko.
Sakura smiled and ran with Tomoyo to get dressed. Syaoran followed Yamazaki to the changing room.
"Are you sure that you're alright?" said Syaoran. After using the SLEEP card, Yamazaki had fallen to the ground and had a sprain so Syaoran had to take his place.
"I'm alright." Said Yamazaki smiling…or, at least that's what Syaoran thought. Yamazaki always had his eyes closed in an amused and smiling way.
Syaoran got dressed and looked at himself.
"Ready." He thought.
Meanwhile, Sakura was putting on her wings.
"You look so kawaii Sakura-chan" said Tomoyo merrily.
"T-thanks Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said blushing.
Meilin charged in the room.
"Sakura you look great!" Meilin said smiling. "I have to thank you for something."
Meilin took out a box covered in a pretty pink ribbon and handed it to Sakura.
"Thank you Meilin! Can I open it?" Sakura said.
"Of course!" said Meilin.
Sakura opened the box to find a little jeweled crown.
"This is for helping my cousin and for finally telling him!" Meilin said with pride.
"Thank you so much Meilin!" Sakura said. Placing the crown on her head, she felt overjoyed.
"Hurry, hurry Sakura!" cried Naoko, popping her head in the room.
"Okay!" said Sakura. "Thanks again Meilin!"
"No problem Sakura!" Meilin said.
"Good luck! I'll be filming your kawaii and wonderfulness back here!" Tomoyo said.
"T-thanks Tomoyo-chan…" Sakura said, sweat dropping.
After the play, Sakura walked home with Syaoran.
"You were great today Syaoran-kun!" Sakura said.
"Y-you too!" Syaoran said blushing.
They arrived at Sakura house soon after.
"Um…Syaoran…when are you going back to Hong Kong?" Sakura said sadly.
Syaoran put his arms around her.
"Soon but…I promise I'll come back." Syaoran said firmly.
Sakura put her pinkie out. Syaoran hooked it with his and together, they sang a familiar song they sang back when Sakura was going into the tree of memory.
"Pinkie promise, if you lie, I will make you swallow a thousand needles." They sang.
"Bye Sakura," Syaoran said, dazed.
"Bye Syaoran," said Sakura, hugging him, blushing.
"I'm home!" Sakura said. Sakura gazed at the schedule board.
(Schedule board)
Dad: Work until festival
Toya: Practice at school
Sakura: Going home early
Sakura walked upstairs to find Kero playing video games.
"Hi Kero!" Sakura said cheerfully.
"Oh hi Sakura can't talk bye!" Kero said, pressing the buttons rapidly.
Sakura hopped on her bed and sat down. She had to practice the lines again before the play.
"I thank you all…but dancing has never been one of my t-"
Suddenly, Sakura felt a presence.
"M-magic!?"

It's such a coincidence that I have the same last name of Syaoran-kun! But remember, there are no coincidences in
the world! Clow Reed is such an inspiration!
