The Crystal Tear

Disclaimer: I don't own the Cardcaptor/Cardcaptor Sakura characters but the story line is mine.
The Prophesy
The one chosen by Clow shall also be my chosen.
It would have proved itself twice but must do so thrice more.
The challenges before now were paved in time.
The ones to come are new and more challenging.
I am afraid help will be scarce due to the vast evil of our foe.
Hope will ally with Knowledge then they with Strength.
All of which to preserve the Light of Love.
Through all else the Crystal Tear must go unbroken.
For with it and the Key it will unlock the door to the enemies defeat…
Sakura Kinomoto age fifteen opened her eyes on another beautiful day. Slowly she stretched her arms and climbed out of bed. After a few more stretches she put on a pair of short shorts and a tank top tying her waist length auburn hair into a high ponytail she went into her back yard. Already there was a sleepy looking lion like beast.
"Good morning Kero," she greeted. The animal yawned.
"What's so good about it," said Kero also known as Keroberos the guardian beast of the one time Clow Cards turned Sakura Cards. Sakura stuck her tongue out at him.
"Your just cranky because you stayed up all night playing video games," Sakura resorted. Kero looked away sheepishly. Sakura sighed. "Fine you can go back to bed," she said turning away from him acting as if she were mad. She smiled as the now tiny beast of the seal hugged her thanking her over and over. "Your welcome Kero just don't let it happen too often, you're the one who suggested me training to make sure my powers don't get rusty," she reminded.
"Yea me and my big mouth," Kero muttered.
"What was that?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing I was just saying how much it helped you," he said.
"Really how?" Sakura asked.
"For one you're never late to school on the three days you have practice," said Kero. Sakura nodded. "And…um…well…," he said trying to find something else positive that had come out of the early morning training they had on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. "And your power is at its peak," he finally said.
"Thanks a lot," Sakura said sarcastically.
"Your welcome," said Kero sleepily as he went back into the house and back to his bed. Sakura shook her head and pulled out her key and a card.
Key of the star
With powers burning bright
Reveal the staff
And shine your light!
Release!
Sword!
Sakura now stood with her Clow Sword balanced perfectly in her hand. In the half hour that followed Sakura went through a precise dance pattern thrusting her sword at the empty air around her sparing with a nonexistent partner. She blocked, pared, dodged the invisible blade with her own whirling around her rhythmically. Soon she finished and took a break. Five minutes later she got back up.
"Never gonna get better sitting around," she told herself getting up pulling out another card.
Sword Card
Return!
Fight Card !
Release!
Sakura now stood without a sword in front of her was a girl in a strange outfit and large pigtails already in a fighting position. Sakura bowed to the girl and the girl bowed back.
"Good morning Fight," Sakura greeted standing straight.
"Good morning Mistress," said Fight finally coming back to an upright position. Sakura wrinkled her nose.
"You all know how much I hate the formalities," she said. Fight smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry Mis- Sakura I guess old habits die hard," Fight replied. Sakura nodded.
"Well lets get started," she said. Fight nodded and they started a hand to hand practice routine. They started slow then got faster and faster adding flips and complicated dodges. Fight gave no quarter to Sakura and Sakura didn't want one. Soon they stopped and bowed to each other.
"How was that today?" Sakura asked.
"You did very well you are beginning to use your senses to tell where the next attack will come from and your dodges are very automatic we do need to work on your left side high kicks," said Fight like a true martial arts teacher.
"Yea they tire me out a little more then the right," said Sakura. Fight nodded.
"Soon you'll be as good as the Li," she said before she turned back into her card then floated into Sakura's pouch leaving Sakura blushing. 'I can almost keep up with Syaoran now. I wonder what he's doing right now' she thought.
"Maybe he can come for my birthday this year. It is on Saturday," she said out loud to herself. She walked into the house and got ready for school with a blush on her cheeks and hopes in her heart.
When Syaoran had come the second time from Japan Sakura had managed to admit her feelings to him. Their happy time together was short lived because a few days later he had to return to Hong Kong. For five years they only had scant communication from each other only when Syaoran could sneak a phone call or smuggle letters to her in Japan. Of course Tomoyo, Melin, and on a rare occasion Eriol were happy to help. Those snatches of each other were all they needed to keep their love alive and strong all those years. Until they could be together again that was all they needed.
