A/N: Sorry that I haven't written in so long! I've just been really busy with finishing moving out here to California and then finding work so that I can keep the apartment that I'm now in. Hopefully once things settle down I should be in a regular routine again of updating at least once a week if not every other day like I used to.
A/N: This is a rewritten version of New Beginning due to the fact that I have now seen CCS Movie 2: The Sealed Card. So I hope you like it just as much as you did the original. The original will still remain up for those of you that liked it. But the way things look this will be the version that I will continue and yes finish. That I promise! ^_^V
A/N: My portray of the ending scene from The Sealed Card might be different from the actual movie b/c I haven't scene it for over a month now and also I added a bit that I think they should have had in the ending too. ^_~

~~~Ending Scene from CCS Movie 2: The Sealed Card~~~
Sakura head hung low after sealing and transforming the Sealed Card into a Sakura Card. "I never got to tell him before the end after all."
Mysterious female voice spoke briefly then. "It'll be alright."
A stream of tears started to roll down her cheeks. Slowly she turned towards the motionless Li Syoaron. "Even if you have lost your feelings and have forgotten me I have to saw this." She paused briefly then continued. "I love you Li Syoaron."
Syoaron smiled a bit when he heard her. "I love you too."
Sakura looked up at him in shock.
Syoaron's smile broadened a bit and he turned and looked at her. "Sakura."
Sakura shock changed to that of happiness. 'He remembered! He didn't lose his memory or his feelings!' Then she started to back up from the edge with a grin on her face.
Syoaron looked at her in surprise and shock. "Sakura shouldn't you wait till everything is back to normal?"
Sakura to one more step back and paused when she felt the edge of her section, then she broke out into a run and leaped from her section of the stairs over the broken section between both of them. "I can't wait!"
Syoaron moved closer to the edge of his section and caught her as she barely landed on his section and wrapped his arms around her tightly. "My impatient Sakura." Then he kissed her lightly and briefly on the lips.
Sakura gave a startled expression at first when she felt his lips touch hers and then she slowly closed her eyes and moaned a bit. Then she opened them when he broke the kiss.
Syoaron just held her and looked at her. Slowly one of his hands moved to cradle and caress her cheek. "One of the things I love about you."

--- Seven Years Later, Japan, Kinomoto Residence
***Sakura found herself standing in a room void of all light. Looking around she saw nothing but darkness. Slowly she started to walk forward a bit and she paused when an image of a tormented young man appeared before. "Syoaron," she whispered lovingly.
Slowly the image of Syoaron spoke. "Sakura...help...me..." Then his image started to slowly begin to fade away.
Sakura broke out into tears and ran towards the image, but when she the spot that it was in it was already gone.***
Sakura jolted up right in her bed gasping for air. She wanted to so badly tell herself that it was nothing more than a dream. But she knew otherwise and she would be lying to herself. Even thought it had been almost seven years since she last had one, she knew that it was a premonition and that her love, Syoaron, was in danger. Slowly she looked at the bedside clock.
4:30 a.m.
It was still early and she knew that everyone else would still be asleep. Slowly she looked at the right hand top drawer of her desk and practically half whispered due to her still recovering from her premonition, "Kero."
Slowly a faint glow could be seen emitting from inside through the cracks in the drawer and it slowly opened. A small head appeared then soon following the entire body. It looked like a small stuffed teddy bear with wings and a long tail. Kero looked at Sakura in concern as he floated over to her. "What is it Sakura?"
Sakura looked down at her hands and then up at Kero and tears slowly started to stream from her eyes down her cheeks. "I had a premonition again, Kero. And it was about Syoaron."
Kero could see the tears that were rolling down her cheeks and he tried to cheer her up. "Come on Sakura, you know that the Gaki can take care of himself."
Sakura's looked up at him when he said that but with an even more sad expression then before.
Kero could tell that it only mad her feel more worried and instantly regretted his little joke. 'Poor Sakura.' He knew about the special feelings that she had for the Li kid and that he had for her. And even though they hadn't been able to see much of each other the last seven years they always kept in contact with a letter every month.
A light tapping sound could be heard coming from the window. Slowly Sakura got up and walked over to the window to see that Yue was hovering outside of it. Slowly she opened it and stepped back.
Yue slowly entered and landed next to Kero and looked at his young mistress with a small look of concern as he watched her walk back over and sat back down on the bed. "What is the matter, Keroberos?"
Slowly a pair of large white glowing wings surrounded Kero's little form and the room filled with a bright white light. When it faded, a large lion with a pair of white wings was standing in the little stuffed-bear like guardian's place. Keroberos looked up at his fellow guardian Yue, but he was cut off before he could even answer.
"I had another premonition." Sakura answered instead.
Yue looked at her with, what many would say was an impassive look. But if one looked closely enough they could make out a slight frown and a hint of worry in his eyes.
Sakura looked up at him and answered while tears started to form again. "It was about Syoaron and he was calling out for me to help him. Then he started to fade away."
Just hearing Syoaron's name from Sakura was enough of an answer to his question. He watched as Sakura stood up and walked over to her closet and started to change.
Sakura turned around and looked momentarily at both Yue and Keroberos.
Yue noticed that Sakura had changed quite a bit over the last seven years. She had let her auburn hair grow out some, so that it was now almost to the middle of her back. And until last year, her figure had filled out more so that she had turned into quite an attractive young woman. Her green eyes still held that sparkle of innocence, but also held knowledge that many would believe were beyond her young years. "You're going to him aren't you?"
"Yes." Slowly Sakura turned her gaze towards the same drawer that Kero had left. A soft white glow filled it and slowly once known Clow Cards, now Sakura Cards started to float out it and formed a circle around her head momentarily in greeting before they settled down in her hand. Then with her other hand she reached up to her chest and clasped her hand around her pendant.
Both guardians watched the display of welcoming the cards gave her. Keroberos still held his look of concern. He was about to say something then stopped as he saw her reach up to her star-like key pendant.
Slowly she held it out in front of her and that of a serious one replaced the look of sadness.
Keroberos had only once seen this serious look from her and that was when her and the Li kid were up against the snow card and she used Firey.
Slowly the small pendant gave off a white light, which filled the room and when it faded the pendant was replaced with a large staff that had a single crystallized star with two large wings on either side.
Even Yue's usual cold features showed a little awe at what he had saw. Not many people with magic could control it to the degree of not having to say the incantation.
Slowly the top card floated up, level with her face and it gave off a brief faint white light. As it did so Sakura folded one of her arms slightly below her chest. When the light faded a small cat-like creature, Dash was lying in the small cradle that her arm had formed. Slowly it stretched then it leapt up onto her shoulder and started to nestle and lick at her cheek.
Yue couldn't help but be shocked at how far Sakura's magic had come within the last seven years. In fact he never knew she had reached this level. To his knowledge till now was that only Clow Reed could summon forth the cards without saying the spell. Then he recalled a conversation from long ago that he had with Keroberos.
*** It was just after her defeating him in the Final Judgment, when she was just starting to change the Clow Cards to Sakura Cards and when Kero and Sakura were telling him about some of her adventures they had prior to that event. "Her Magic is just as strong as, if not greater than, Clow Reed's."***
Yue gave a sideward glance at Keroberos 'How is it that Keroberos was able to sense this ability in her but not me? Is their bond that much stronger because of them being together from the start of this?'
Slowly Sakura reached up to her shoulder and lifted Dash off of it and again cradled the small creature in her arms as she walked over to her small desk. Gently she sat Dash down on her desk and then took out a small piece of paper and pen and began to write:
Dad
Sorry I left without telling you in person but had to leave right away to take care of an errand. I don't know when I'll be back but don't worry I have Kero, Yue, and the Cards with me to help and to protect me. Sorry I couldn't tell you more. Please understand.
Love Sakura.
Slowly she folded the paper and then picked back up Dash. "I need you to do a favor for me Old Friend."
Dash answered her with a small lick to her cheek.
Sakura giggled again slightly then looked a little bit more serious as she placed the small piece of paper in Dash's mouth. "I need you to run this down stairs and set it on the dining table for me." Slowly she knelt down and released Dash.
As soon as she did Dash was already gone, and in a few seconds it was back again and in her arms and licking her cheek.
Sakura scratched Dash's head in reward and watched as it turned back into a card and settled back down on top of the rest. Then she motioned for both guardians to approach her.
Both Keroberos and Yue remained quiet as they stepped up beside their mistress. Keroberos had a small proud smile for what Sakura had down so for. Yue still remained his usual quiet self and deep in thought.
Slowly again the top card floated up and stopped once leveled with her face and as Sakura reached up and grasped it with her hand. She stared at it for a few seconds. On it was a picture of a large circular door and just below it was written 'Teleport Portal'. It was one of the few Sakura Cards that she had created in the last seven years. Then with a flick of her wrist she tossed it towards the center of her room and it gave off a blinding flash.
When the flash faded a large wooden framed circular frame with what looked like to be filled with glass appeared.
Slowly Sakura reached out to the sides and took both Yue's and part of Keroberos's mane in her hands. Then she closed her eyes as she stepped through the glass and mentally pictured the Li Mansion. Once through, she opened her eyes when she felt a slight breeze hit her face to see that she was standing outside of a large fence with a very large mansion, The Li Residence Mansion, on the other side.
