Nakoruru: Okay, I'm finally back! Welcome everyone to my new story. Crossover of Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura. Some of you might not know me, so let me introduce myself.

Blazer: She's the author that wrote One Strange Day, Thoughts Of Yesterday, and Once More Under The Moon. A Yu Yu Hakusho x Sailor Moon crossover trilogy.

Nakoruru: And that's my muse Blazer, a fire wolf demon whose mouth is almost as great as his inspiration on me.

Blazer (_): You want to start with me starting at the beginning of the prologue?

Nakoruru: No! (^ ^) Let's just start the prologue. I hope everyone enjoys it. And if the prologue does well, I promise to update next week and then update more regularly after that. Now let's get started.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura was hurled back to the ground, her head snapping against the concrete. Flashes of white dots formed in her vision. She let out a hiss of pain as she struggled to get back up. For a moment she saw nothing, but finally managed to get her eyes to focus on the figure that was hovering in mid air.

The smug smile in those purple eyes didn't flicker. Sakura narrowed her eyes, infuriated with herself. How could she have not noticed the dark magical energies surrounding this person? How could she have fallen for the innocent smile and shy words? They were costing her so much now. First her father, then her brother, and Li... She couldn't allow this to continue. She wasn't going to lose anyone else.

"Me and Syaoran trusted you so much. How could you have betrayed us? Why?" Sakura demanded once again since the start of their battle. "Why? What have I done to you to cause such malice?"

"You were foolish enough to trust me. So I have no hard feelings in draining you of all your power like I did your father and your beloved husband," the figure said, raising up their staff once more.

"I won't give up! Not to you!" Sakura shouted. Opening her hand a card appeared within it. Tossing it into the air, Sakura rose her staff. "Firey!"

The wings on the wand expanded as the card took on the shape of an element fire spirit. The spirit raced at the figure, but with a wave of the wand, Firey was pushed back. Sakura gritted her teeth, determined not to lose this battle. Everything depended on the outcome of this battle. The future and present as she knew it would be affected by this battle's outcome.

"Sakura!"

The woman turned her head, seeing Keroberos pulling himself from the rubble. Another figure followed, a male with long silver hair. Tears welled up in Sakura's eyes, seeing that her guardians had not fallen in their last attack. The strength of her enemy had caught them off guard and probably would have killed them if not for the fact that it was Clow that had made them, and not her.

Definitely stronger than she had expected her enemy to be. Sakura was uncertain if the cards or her guardians would be enough to defeat such an enemy. Even now, she had to focus almost all of her magic to keep Firey from being pushed back. If this kept up, there would be only one option left.

"Kero-chan! Yueh-chan! You're okay."

"For now," cackled the figure. "They can't stop me and you know you can't either."

"You're right. I can't," Sakura said, calling back Firey.

"Sakura, what are you saying?" Keroberos demanded. He was worried she was going to give in to their enemy. She couldn't lose hope, not while they were still at her side.

"I'm sorry Kero-chan, Yueh-chan. I can't allow this to end like it looks to be doing. I have no choice," Sakura said, calling to all of her cards. Cards that she had changed from Clow, who had been the most powerful magician in the world, to her very own cards. She would not allow this person to corrupt that bond she had made with them.

"What are you talking about? Are you surrendering to me?" inquired the figure.

"No, I won't allow you to corrupt my cards," Sakura said.

"Sakura--" Yueh started sensing what she was about to do. She turned a smile to him, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'm sorry. Tomoyo will take good care of Natsumi for me and Syaoran, I know she will." Raising her staff abover her head into the air. Sakura summoned all the magic in her body to her command. "Cards once made by Clow, hear my voice. I surrender the power, by the force of light, I command you to seal! Until your next master awakens you, sleep."

"Sakura! If you use your power to seal all of us--" Keroberos shouted.

"I know. But if I don't stop this somehow, then it won't end. Kero, Yueh, please watch over the next captor who becomes master. The battle ahead will be tough," Sakura replied. Closing her eyes, she released every fiber of magic she had.

"No! I won't--" The figure struggled to break free from Sakura's spell but it was to no avail. "I won't sleep forever! When I awaken, the power of the cards shall be mine."

Balls of light appeared around Sakura as everything was sealed for now. The balls of light hovered around her before dispersing. Once they were gone, Sakura looked to the night sky. She knew this was the only way, but she was sad that neither her nor Syaoran would be their to watch their little girl grow up.

As her eyes closed, her body slumping to the ground, she made a wish. *When the cards awaken next, please let the next one be strong. The world will need it.*

A star streaked across the night sky, as if trying to give her reassurance that everything would be all right. Sakura smiled, her eyes slowly closing. This was it. Her last battle as master of the cards. She wasn't scared, she had no reason to be. Even though she would miss her daughter and Tomoyo and all the friends she has made over the years, she also found peace in knowing that she would not be alone on the other side.

*Syaoran...I'm coming now. Meet me at heaven's gates and let's watch over Natsumi together. She is now an important piece in the future's survival.*
