Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura or Anastasia

A cold, dark night. Snow slowly falls onto the white ground. All is silent until a blood-curding scream pierces the night

"SAKURA!" a girl shouts running towards the source of sound

Behind her, stands a boy, silent, cold and unmoving

The said Sakura is seen, knocked unconscious, and rolling down a snow-covered hill- towards a heavy, metal train track. The sound of a train blowing its horn. A girl crying desperately, clinging on to the boy, before the train whooshes past them. Then, all is still. They see Sakura's body and the bloody trail- from the top of the hill all the way to where her body now lies. The only noise is the girl sobbing uncontrollably, the noise echoing through the empty night. The boy still stares unmoving at the place her body is lying. Unknown to him, a tear slides slowly down his cheek before fading into the red stained ground.

*8 years later*

18 year-old Sakura lay on the ground, her cheek touching the cold, wet snow. Déjà Vu? She thought so. Except this time, a woman stood behind her coldly throwing Sakura her single bag, containing all her belongings, and an old, worn-out scarf.

"Be grateful I gave you that much" She snarled, referring to the scarf

The lady, then, promptly closed the huge rusty gates, closing the door to Sakura's supposed 'home' for 8 years. Sakura sighed. She had finally come of age and was now supposedly an adult and, thus, kicked out of the orphanage. She knew the mistress had been waiting for the day she could kick Sakura out because she noticed she had even bought a calendar to mark down the days until her eighteenth birthday.

"Such was life" Sakura muttered

She decided she officially hated birthdays. On her tenth, she woke up, shivering and all alone with a horrible throbbing head. The only things she could recall was how to speak, her name and how old she was. She also remembered a girl crying out her name but she figured it was in a dream as she couldn't exactly grasp who that girl was. The other birthdays she had, were always horrible. She had to do extra work because she was the 'birthday girl'. Finally, her eighteenth birthday, and here she was lying on the floor. Need she say more?

Sakura had no idea what to do now. Where could she go? She had no money, no food and honestly? No life. Sakura was alone. Well, she decided, it was no use lying on the ground like that so she decided to get up. When she stood, a warm object touched her neck and sighing, she pulled it off to get a better look. It was a necklace she had since forever. It was the only real clue she had towards finding her family as she had it from when she woke up on her tenth birthday.

Yes, Sakura believed she still had a family. Really, it was the only hope she could cling onto knowing that her family was probably out there looking for her. Although it had been eight years since that incident, she refused to believe that her family had given up. Yes, it was true that her family could have died, but Sakura refused to give up this small brightness that would never fade. Call her an optimist but Sakura needed this to survive eight years of hardship.

The necklace emitted strange warmth and, no matter the temperature, it stayed warm. It was a five-pointed star figure that was encircled by a ring and attached to the bottom was an odd key shaped tail. It was probably worth great value as the large star was made from gold, but, Sakura didn't have the heart to sell it. Inspecting it closer, she gasped as she noticed some writing on the inside of the band.

"Together in Paris" She read. And just like that, numerous sounds flooded into her head.

Flashback

A familiar song was heard in the mist… if only she could remember it…

She could hear lots of noises too

"Auntie! Auntie!" A little girl cried.

"It's nice to see you to Kira" A cheerful voice was heard.

Sakura supposed this was the said Auntie's voice (in this memory she can't see anything, only hear things) but she felt confused because although she knew her Aunt was talking to her, she knew her name was Sakura… not Kira

"As always, here's your gift" Although Sakura couldn't see she pictured her Aunt showing Sakura a velvet box and opening it to reveal a beautiful necklace.

"Wow!" Sakura gasped "Is it for me?"

"Of course!" the Aunt laughed.

"I made it especially for you, that way you will always be able to find me no matter what!" she announced with confidence, showing her the words written inside the band.

"If we ever get separated you know where to find me!"

End of Flashback

Sakura shook, before falling, once again, towards the ground. She had a family! This was proof she had a family! Although she couldn't see anything, she could almost picture everything- except for her aunt's face… but she still heard voices and that was enough proof to get Sakura standing up once more and running towards the train station. Destination? Paris!

a.F.p

Syaoran walked briskly through the town, searching for best friend who happened to be 3 minutes and 22 seconds late. Ok, so he was very punctual- so what? He couldn't care less what others thought. A poster distracted him momentarily from his thoughts and he stared at the paper before him:

Missing! Princess Melenia- not found since December the 2nd. If found please contact the palace. Great reward given-

It was here, Syaoran cut off from reading and his eyes grew large… 'Great reward given'

He could almost see the words highlighted before his eyes…he couldn't help it! Syaoran was just a poor peasant with no money. He had woken up one day and he knew his parents had died in a car accident and that he was now an orphan; however he couldn't shake off the feeling that something important was missing in his life. He had met Eriol, and they had immediately became friends and they even bought their own apartment together.

Syaoran took down the poster and impatiently waited for Eriol to come.

'She won't be missing much longer' He thought grinning

A.N So I have this feeling that Sakura's birthday is April the 1st, but in this story it's going to be December the 2nd
