Prologue

What had she done?

The earth trembled beneath her feet, she fell grasping onto the stone column on the ledge. Pain tore at her core, as she felt her magic being drained from her. Her eyes were on her family. Touya was by Yukito's, and her father, his notes scattering like leaves in the wind, watched her. Crying out her name, unable to get pass the circle they were on. But she was too far away to run to them, and the stone wouldn't let her let go.

And then she felt it, a pulse in the ground. The papers spiraled up, in a vortex around them, as something came. The ground lit up with symbols, circling the entire archeological crew. They flicker in and out of site, before disappearing entirely. Fog rose up, as the ground rumbled one more time, before the ledge falter then cracked taking her with it. Finally she could let go of the stone, but she was already tumbling with the ledge. Falling backwards with her dress rising around her and the ocean beneath her, her gaze was still focus on the cliff. She should do something, but froze. She saw it. Something rising from the fog that made her trembled with the instinctive fear.

Before she felt its gaze and her world went black with the sounds of screams.

A beautiful work of steel and magic charged on railroad tracks, through the emerald hills and drizzling weather, letting little steam puffs out in consecutive intervals. A true classic to the picturesque image of a train.

Within one of the apartments rested a young lady, her age undistinguishable, other than that of a young adult. Her shoulder length golden locks of hair were in a disarray though it only made her more stunning and some would say cute. Her eyes were closed as if in ponderous, but when open would reveal sparkling emeralds. Her chest rose, as she took in one deep calming breath.

Her destination still felt peculiar to her, like a dream. To teach, at a school full of magic, a style that she barely understood still. Though there was a sense of freedom. How she was hired was still a mystery to her. It would be a school where they would know nothing about her past. A school where she would just be a regular boring professor.

Everything that had happen.

First with Syaoran, leaving again, because the elders had wanted him to investigate something, she had not heard from him since. Her magic was still mostly untrained, yet she knew he was still alive. But…Why had she never heard from him? The elders had never truly approved of their relationship as children, despite that his mother showed her favor upon her.

And something else…There was someone else missing, someone who was gone. Something that had happen.

Shaking her head, she let her mind drift to her childhood.

Fond memories of her childhood drifted across her mind, landing on an image of a young girl. Tomoyo, with her dark locks that had a purple shine to them and amethyst eyes, was as crisp in her mind's eye like lighting flaring in a storm. Tomoyo had left with her mother to Europe, for a high class fashion school. From time to time she still received outfits and costumes in the mail, throughout school. Incidentally, Tomoyo had met up with Eriol again, and the two had casually fallen in love. They were thrilled when Sakura said she would come and stay with them after she had finish school.

She ended up finishing early, at sixteen, mostly as a result of training with Yue, who demand perfection in every aspect. After seeing the pictures, Tomoyo couldn't resist the many exclamations of "Kawai" at her graduation outfit.

When she had arrived, they knew something was off. Her moods had been unhappy, though she did enjoy learning western magic, where they called themselves wizards. Sometimes Tomoyo would ask insightful questions about Syaoran, with worries in her eyes. After a couple of months, Eriol suggested that she teach at a wizarding school in hopes of helping her, but he made it very clear that she was not to show that she was card mistress. His eyes had a mischievous glint in them. He thought it would be fun if she could fool the whole school into thinking that she was some boring teacher. Eriol had then began to teach her how she to teach, seeing as he somehow just flat out knew that they would hire her for the job.

It was shocking, her experience with the man name Dumbledore. He had an odd tinkle in his eye. He may have suspected something about her, despite her lack of information, the glamour to make her appear more in her twenties then her current seventeen years, and that she was mostly home-taught. They talked for a while, and she demonstrated some of the small thing she learned. Apparently being able to cast a patronus was impressive. She was relieved when he finally said she would have the job, but would probably only be for a year. Muttering something about a suppose curse plaguing the office and chuckling at the same. Sakura had said that was perfectly fine. She wasn't really certain what it was she was looking for, but maybe this school would help.

Yue would be pleased, that she was continuing to learn. Yukito and Yue were able to separate after Sakura's magic was strong enough to do so. Yue became like a second older brother to her continually lurking around her and going through subject material be it magic or the ever-detested math. He did not wish for a job there to continue his guardian duty, instead he chose to turn into an owl, a creature of the moon, which lead to Sakura discovering that he could turn into any creatures that were under his "rein."

Kero in turn proved that he could minimize his large form, into that of a small golden cat. Though without the wings and the gems around his face. He was currently residing on her lap, utterly knocked out. At least now he was purring in his sleep, instead of the snoring when he was a flying teddy bear.

The compartment door slide open, disturbing Sakura's reflections. Hastily, Sakura casted her professor illusion, which made her look slightly older. And three students strolled in completely focused on their conversation. Humored, Sakura just decided to pretend to be asleep.

"I wonder what the new professor will look like?" It was a female. They obviously were oblivious to her.

"I dunno know, just wait for the Feast." One male huffed, as he sat down. Unwrapping a chocolate frog, he popped it into his mouth. "Want one?"

"No, and Ron this compartment isn't empty either. Oh well, she's asleep. Certainly, she wouldn't mind us. It would be interesting if she's the new professor, she's too old to be student." Said the girl.

"Isn't this exactly how we meet Professor Lupin?" There was a bit of humor in the third's voice.

"Now that you mention it, Harry, it is." Then male munching on something, must be Ron.

"I doubt we'll be able to find another compartment, what with the train already moving. You just had to stick your foot in your mouth early, didn't you Ron?"

"I just hope no dementors attack this time, Hermione." Harry diffused away from the already worn topic.

"Really, Harry." A sigh from Hermione, then a glance at Sakura. "We should talk softer, I don't want to wake her."

"I'm already awake, though thank you for your concern." Sakura croaked, starling all three of them and herself. Her throat was a little dry. Clearing her throat, she continued in a more pleasant younger tone."Is there something the matter?"

"No." Hermione who was the first one to recover.

" How ddiidd yooo…" Ron stammered, but was cut off by Hermione.

"I'm Hermione Granger and those two are Ron Weasley and Harry Potter." She pointed to them in the list of their names. They were in surprise that Sakura didn't have the classic reaction as most first time Harry Potter meeters, and just smiled all the same.

"Are you the new professor?" Harry was to the point, a little grateful that she wasn't like the rest.

Sakura gave a single nod, realizing that she was tired from not getting any sleep last night. Something would haunt her dreams. "I think I'll actually finish my nap, could you wake me when the train stops?" She heard mutters of confirmation sure as she drifted off into a dreamscape to end up training with Yue. Who said control of a dreamscape and teaching in such was related to having power over the moon. They began with mediation. Something she didn't really have a flare for. Then went on to training.

Sooner the Sakura realize she was jerked awake by the sudden stop.

"We're here." Ron nudged her. Still amaze that a someone could fall asleep so easily in the company of strangers.

All four of them got up to leave. Still drowsy and feeling light head, she stumbled over the exit step and fell into someone. Looking up, she stood there stun for a moment. It could not be.

Her mind shut down, and her world went dark.
