Yukimi opened the window near her bed. It was a day like everyday, she had to go to Tomoeda High, study, eat, study, meet friends and go home. The same routine she had since first grade. At least that's what she thought.

The young teenager ate her breakfast and ran to school, forgetting her lunch box like usual. She waved to her dad quickly and jumped on her bicycle, forgetting the screams of her father yelling that she had forgotten her lunchbox. Yukimi was pedaling like crazy, hoping she wasn't late for her history test.

"Damn it! I was late again. Calm down Yuki, you'll know what to do next time, just cool it. I know Ryoko, but this alarm clock just isn't right!!!! I get late all the time, my teachers are so mad at me!

Ryoko is Yukimi's best friend. She's a talented photographer and designer. She has allot of influence on Yukimi because of her inner peace and celestial calm. Yukimi is more of a tomboy, a real hyper.

"I need to go to the library after lunch, wanna come with me? Sure! Said Ryoko. I'll come with you, what is it for? One of my teachers want me to copy a book. Because I was late. You're always late!!!

At 1:00 PM, the two girls went to the library. The book Yukimi was supposed to copy was in the last section of the library, the students liked to call it the "dark section" because those books were very old and very humid inside. And it smelled rotten eggs sometimes.

Ryoko was fascinated by the old documents, all piled on one another. Yukimi just wanted this to end. She started to copy quickly the special document her teacher assigned. Suddenly, Yukimi dropped her pencil that rolled near a hidden door, hid under the books. The girl tossed the books away and opened the door (that wasn't locked by the way) and saw a stairway that led to a basement. It wasn't very old, not like the books of the dark section, and Yukimi's adventurous side took over. She went deeper in the basement, and saw another library. The books were older and weirder, like magic books. Yukimi was amazed, but she was attracted by one book, a big pink book with a star on it, like if it was made of gold. The girl looked at it carefully, and decided to open the book. Gently, she opened it. Yukimi didn't see any pages, but cards, wide cards, all with the same pattern on them: a star, a moon and a sun. The teenager took one of the cards, looked at it, and opened her eyes widely, like if she had seen a ghost. The card represented a beast, a giant beast, with golden fur and with the power to breathe fire, and blow fire.

"It's like in the legend.the legend mother used to tell me."

And Yukimi saw before her eyes the past, the past of a little girl named Sakura, Sakura her mother who died when she was just 4 years old, the past of Sakura the card captor who became card master.

Suddenly, a glowing and raging light immerged from the book, a light so powerful that blew all the books off their tablets. But Yukimi wasn't affected, she even felt good and comforted. The book blew the cards away that went flying through the opened door, and out the window. The little particles of light joined together to form a weird human girl, with white butterfly wings. The girl opened her eyes that were silver and shiny, and looked at Yukimi. She smiled and hugged Yukimi like there's no tomorrow!

"You are finally here master! We missed you so much! Ma.ma.master??? Said Yukimi, confused. Yes master Yukimi! Don't you remember me? Sakuya? Your moon guardian? It's true you created me when you were just 3 years old, but your mother was there, and she must remember. I'm.I'm sorry, but my mother died a long time ago, and she never told me who you were, I am sorry, you must be mistaken. Your mother Sakura was an amazing person. She knew you would replace her after her death, so she created you a special guardian to help you. Don't you know who you are Yukimi? I.I'm just not sure.I. You are a card captor Yukimi and a great one too!! You promise allot! At the age of 2 you were able to summon the Fly, it was very impressive! I was able to do that? What's the Fly? Ah, you need to learn allot. Now, the cards are lost in the city. If you don't capture them quickly, we'll have a serious problem. Take the key in the book and let's go, I'll take a brief human appearance.

Sakuya transformed into a young girl who was probably 16 years old. She had the school uniform on and she had no wings anymore. Though her shiny eyes still glowed.

"When I'm like that, call me Megumi Hayase! Class 504 at Tomoeda High! Ah, alright. Now, take the key in your hand, and throw it in front of you, at the same time, scream: "Key of the sceal, I command you to obey me, master of the cards, unleash your power!" KEY OF THE SCEAL, I COMMAND YOU TO OBEY ME, MASTER OF THE CARDS!! UNLEASH YOUR POWER!!!!

The little key became bigger in a dash, blue light surrounding it, it was amazing. It became a wand half Yukimi's height.

Yukimi took it, looked at it, and sighed. "I'm just not ready for this; I don't know anything about those tricks. Don't you worry, said Megumi, you'll remember your past soon enough to understand the powers of the Sakura Cards.
