Disclaimer: Card Captor Sakura does not belong to me, but to CLAMP the wonderful people who created the most beautiful manga ever and to all those big companies that I don't remember at the moment…
Author Notes: This story takes place after everything, after the Sakura Cards and after the Clow Cards. I writing from the manga story line since I live in the US and they haven't gone very far in producing a good version of the beautiful Anime. I've got the first two subtitled tapes and that's it. Depressing. Very. Keep in mind I'm also a first time writer so suggestions, reviews, criticism is welcome and since I'm probably boring you with my continuous babble, on with the show!

Prologue~The Beginning
The night was dark and chilly, this was strange considering that not only was it summer on the east side of the world it had also been boiling hot during the day.
The sudden coldness and the rapid darkening of the sky seemed to be a foreboding sign, but the darkness was this night was almost choking, killing the light that had slowly faded away.
People upon the streets hurriedly made their way home, whether it was by bus, train, car or feet, they hurried. Animals from the tiny mice to the large elephants cowered in their homes, shivering, trembling and making sounds of fear.
Everywhere around the world, no matter what the weather or people, this strange activity was happening.
The day on the other side of the world seemed darker than usual and though the sun was high in the sky, it cast no warmth.
Everything and everyone upon the earth was quiet and still, the only movement was the howling of the wind, as the world seemed to wait tensely.
In the center of this strange activity was Tokyo where night had long fallen and people had begun to sleep though restlessly. Tokyo was not only the capital city of Japan it was also one of the centers of magic, strange occurrences and evil.
Atop the famous Tokyo Tower stood a dark figure that was covered in pure darkness and was surrounded by evil.
The figure waited.
As the pale silvery moon rose into the black velvet night it arose.
"Ah…the beginning. It has begun the beginning of the end for this world and the new awakened dawning of darkness. I shall rule this world once again and all obstacles will be eliminated. I will not allow them to win again, they will not defeat me. I will be the ultimate winner in this game this time around."
The moon rose higher and higher until it casted light upon the dark being's face. The face was pale and paper-white, dark ebony hair framed a pair of glowing crimson eyes. An evil smile alighted upon his face as those red eyes focused on the house of a certain 15 year-old Sakura Card Mistress.
In deep sleep Sakura Kinomoto twisted in vague pain and restlessness as her mind found an evil presence. The being knew that she would not remember this when she awakened, she was too deep in her sleep for her to be awakened.
However, he had taken interest in the Card Mistress because of her release of the former Clow Cards. The break upon their seal had also awakened him and his evil forces again, he would have to thank her graciously for that act. Perhaps he would let her live?
Perhaps, but he hated her for capturing the cards so quickly and changing them into Sakura Cards no less so that there was no way he could turn the cards to his side.
The smile changed into a smirk that expressed no less evil and no less maliciousness. The cards would have been useful in their weakened state, but still maybe he could persuade the mistress to his side. He'd have the cards then and another strong mage to help him along.
No, she was far too well protected to be turned that easily, he couldn't even approach her at his current strength. The Sun Guardian stayed by her side day and night, the Moon guardian resided quite near with the mistress' brother who had recently regained his power. Both halves of the once powerful and hateful Clow Reed were by her side, one as her father and the other a best friend. The descendant of Clow Reed, the Li, as her lover and the cards themselves that would risk their very existence to protect her from harm.
Finally the Guardians, they would be arriving soon to protect her as well.
The being's fist clenched tightly as he thought of the wretched Guardians that had destroyed his plans and sealed him away centuries long ago. No, the card mistress was well protected now, but he would wait, after all it only took a little time to find a weakness in this protection after all he had waited centuries for this victory he could wait a little longer.
He smiled and melted away into the shadows, a pair of glowing red eyes shone briefly before they too disappeared.
Not long after this dark being left, a young girl arrived, her face was shadowed.
"We were too late, but he was here though I can still feel his presence. He wants, Sakura, the Sakura Cards Mistress, the one who had unleashed the Clow Cards." The girl murmured to the small creature perched on her shoulder, the creature could not be seen also.
"I suppose you'll want to warn her?" The creature questioned as the girl nodded. "We'll head back to the mansion so I can cast the dream spell. I'll need to speak with the others as well, they have to be prepared for anything his forces might bring. I have no doubt he's already stationed a proportion of his forces near the Destiny Points. If he's here at the most powerful Point already he must be ready to start." The creature on her shoulder growled angrily and the girl reached up to rub the creature's head soothingly.
"Don't worry, if we defeated him once we can do again, besides we have improved over several centuries and we've also got ourselves allies and a secret weapon. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you."
"You say that, but I can feel your worry. I trust in you and the others though so I'll try not to worry."
The girl let an out a small delighted laugh.
"I'm glad to hear that, so let's get home so I can actually do something 'kay?" The creature nodded again and snuggled against the girl's neck.
"There's nothing to worry, we'll beat them because we're the Guardians and we'll win again because good always triumphs over evil."
