Prologue!!!!!!!!!!!
A 10 year old girl with short auburn hair and emerald eyes laid on her bed with her hair spread out in all directions, wearing a red tank top and jean shorts. It was Friday night and she had nothing to do.
"There's nothing going on today, Kero," the girl complained to her Guardian, a little yellow bear-like creature with big ears and wings who was playing video games.
"You can always play with me, Sakura!" Kero replied.
"Thanks," Sakura answered, "but I think I'll pass."
Just then, a shock hit Sakura. It also hit Kero.
"A Clow Card!" they both yelled and stopped doing what they were doing.
DING-DONG!!!!!!
Downstairs, a amethyst eyed girl with long dark hair, wearing a beautiful green jumper and a bow in her hair was knocking on the door.
"I'll get it!" Sakura screamed as she ran down the stairs and opened the door.
"Tomoyo!" Sakura yelled happily.
"Li just called and told me about The Clow Card," Tomoyo said, smiling. "Luckily, I already had this outfit made!" Tomoyo's eyes shine as she takes out a box from nowhere.
"Let's go in my room," Sakura said, not as happily as Tomoyo. The girls ran up the stairs and into Sakura's pink wall papered room.
Tomoyo took the outfit out of its box. It was a short pink jumper that flared at the bottom with a white T-shirt underneath. It also had a cute little pink beret hat and, to finish, pink shoes and white tights.
"Go try it on!" Tomoyo practically screamed and pushed Sakura into the bathroom and closed the door.
A few seconds later, a boy with messy chestnut hair and amber eyes came up to Sakura's window.
"How do you always get here so fast?" the boy asked.
"I just can't wait to get Sakura into one of my outfits!" Tomoyo said, shiny eyed. "Besides, you take too long, Li!" Tomoyo lost the stars and put her hands on her hips.
"Well, I do have to get changed too, Daidouji!" Syaoran countered. He was wearing his Clan's colors, green and yellow. (a/n: Is it green and yellow?) He had loose pants to move around easier and a green overthingy (a/n: You guys know what I mean!) and a green hat. (a/n: Which I absolutely love! It's so cute!)
Just then, Sakura came out in the outfit Tomoyo gave her with her Clow Key around her neck.
"I've always wondered, but what do you do with all of Tomoyo's outfits that she gives you?" Kero asked curiously.
"I keep them," Sakura said slowly.
"Let's just go already," Syaoran said. "The Clow Card is waiting for us."
"Right," Sakura replied. She said the incantation to The Key of Clow (a/n: I can't remember it!) and took a card out from her pocket. "FLY!" She threw the card into the air and slammed her wand against it and her wand suddenly grew wings.
"Let's go!" Sakura said as she sat on her wand and helped Tomoyo up. "Coming Syaoran?" Sakura asked when Syaoran hesitated.
"Yep," Syaoran replied, blushing at the sound of his name from her, "let's go." He sat behind Tomoyo and they all went in search of The Clow Card.
Tomoyo, of course, had her camera and was filming the flight to Penguin Park where they sensed The Clow Card.
Flying over the park, a bolt of lightning came out of nowhere and practically hit Sakura and the others.
"I already caught The Storm Card!" Sakura yelled at Kero. "What card is this?"
Another bolt of lightning hit beside them and Sakura felt it safer if they went down to the ground.
"It's The Thunder Card!" Syaoran yelled, realizing it then.
"The Thunder?" Sakura questioned.
"It's very powerful Sakura," Kero stated. "Be careful."
"Don't worry Kero," Sakura said confidently. "I know what to do."
Sakura grabbed the cards from her pocket and looked at them until she found the one she wanted.
"JUMP!" Sakura yelled and her shoes got little wings on them. She dodged the bolts with The Jump Card and was looking for its center. Syaoran was doing the same but without the card, so they could make it harder for the card since they were separated.
"There!" Syaoran yelled, stopping for just a second.
But that second cost him and a bolt of lightning hit him right there.
"Syaoran!" Sakura yelled and jumped off of where she was and tried dodging bolts of lightning to get to Syaoran before another bolt hit him. She finally got there and felt his pulse. He wasn't breathing!
Sakura knew she had to find the center fast so she looked to where Syaoran said to before. She saw a tiger-like shape. 'That must be its true form!' Sakura thought.
"Sakura, watch out!" Tomoyo yelled from where her and Kero were. Sakura looked up and saw a bolt of lightning coming straight towards her.
The bolt hit her at full force and she blacked out after that.
The Thunder Card left, seeing his job was done.
Tomoyo ran over to Sakura and Syaoran and immediately took out her cell phone and called an ambulance.
The ambulance kept asking Tomoyo how Sakura and Syaoran ended up like this but she only said one thing, she didn't know.
Kero was in Tomoyo's pocket the whole time. At the hospital, Tomoyo sat and waited for the doctor to tell her if Sakura and Syaoran would be all right.
Soon after, Fujitaka, Sakura's dad, and Touya, Sakura's brother, came to the hospital along with Meiling, Syaoran's cousin.
"Tomoyo," Meiling whispered, "was this the work of a Clow Card?"
Tomoyo only nodded in reply, too sad to speak.
"You should have called me," Meiling said sadly. "I know I might have not been any help but still-" Meiling stopped when a doctor came out from the other room.
"Will Sakura be all right?" Fujitaka asked the doctor, standing upright and fear in his eyes.
The doctor shook his head and all four of the waiting friends and family felt tears come to their eyes. "They both left us barely a minute ago," the doctor said and he left, letting the four cope with the deaths.
Tomoyo was the first to burst into tears, then Meiling did too. Fujitaka merely wept to himself and the same with Touya. They had lost more than just two kids, they had lost the Cardcaptors.
~****Tomoyo's House A Day After The Thunder Card****~
Tomoyo Daidouji, an amethyst eyed girl with long dark hair, laid on her bed in her pajamas, still not wanting to take them off although it was noon already.
She just couldn't believe what had happened the day before.
"I blame myself for letting her go fight The Thunder Card," Tomoyo whispered to herself. "It was just so powerful." Tears came to her eyes as she remembered the events of the night before.
~****Flashback****~
"Li just got hit by a bolt of lightning!" Tomoyo practically yelled to Kero.
"Maybe it will knock some sense into the little gaki," Kero said, a bit muffled.
Tomoyo was still filming the whole event. She watched Sakura jump over to Li and then she noticed a bolt of lightning coming straight towards her.
"Sakura, watch out!" Tomoyo screamed at the top of her lungs, but Sakura was hit by it and blacked out.
~****End of Flashback****~
"Sakura," Tomoyo whispered to herself, a tear coming down her cheek.
BRRRIIINNNGGG!
Tomoyo picked up her cell phone and turned it on. "Meiling," she said softly.
"How'd you know it was me?" Meiling replied on the other line.
"Who else could it be?" Tomoyo asked softly.
There was a moment of silence until Meiling said, "I just called to ask if you thought about The Clow Cards. What will happen to them now that Sakura and Syaoran are gone?" Tomoyo could tell that Meiling was crying.
"That's right!" Tomoyo said, realizing it. "Now that they're gone, the cards don't have masters!"
"We have to go find them!" Meiling said.
"I'll meet you at Sakura's house right now," Tomoyo said and hung up the phone.
~****Sakura's House****~
(a/n: The same thing is happening at Syaoran's house.) The top drawer of Sakura's desk started to glow. Soon it opened, revealing a glowing book. The book suddenly dropped to the floor and opened.
Every single Clow Card Sakura ever caught was flying out the window and flying in all different directions after they got out of the house, except one.
Kero, who was in Sakura's room at the time crying, started to glow too. He suddenly stopped crying.
"What the-" Kero started.
"Ceroberus," a voice sounded.
"Yes," Kero replied.
A form of a beautiful lady dressed in white appeared in front of him. "Ceroberus, Guardian Beast of the Seal, we must do something about this."
"About what, Windy?" Kero asked.
"The only masters of The Clow Cards are gone," Windy said. "You must guard the seal again until another worthy Cardcaptor comes. We must all forget about the past and look into the future. Another potential person will come in one short month and you must train that person to become the new owner of the cards."
"What about Sakura?" Kero asked.
"Sakura is gone," Windy answered. "It was destiny that she died."
"So you're going to tell me it was destiny for me to pick her as the new Card Mistress and then for her to die because of it?!?!?!" Kero yelled with anger.
"Enough!" Windy shouted as she blew gusts of wind at Kero. "The Clow Cards will be much harder to capture now than before because they know not to underestimate the person. The Thunder will be waiting and in due time, he will want to face the new Cardcaptor and destroy her as well."
Before Kero could respond he was sent back into The Book of Clow until another Cardcaptor came and released him.
~****Outside of Sakura's House****~
"I have to hurry!" Tomoyo yelled as she ran down the sidewalk to Sakura's house.
When Tomoyo got in front of Sakura's house, she ran into someone and they both fell to the ground.
"Tomoyo!" Meiling shouted. She was wearing jean shorts and a red tank top with long red socks and awesome high-heeled shoes on.
"Meiling!" Tomoyo shouted back. She was wearing a blue mini skirt and a light blue T-shirt with a duck on it.
"Gomen!" Meiling said, helping Tomoyo up off the ground.
"It's all right," Tomoyo replied, brushing herself off. "We have to find The Book of Clow and The Clow Cards before Sakura's father does!"
They both ran up to the front door of Sakura's house and Tomoyo rang the doorbell. Touya answered the door.
"What do you guys need?" Touya asked in a sad voice.
"We needed to look for something in Sakura's room," Meiling answered quickly and nervously.
"All right, but if I catch you taking anything that isn't yours, you're both out of here," Touya said sinisterly, opening the door wider to let them in.
Tomoyo and Meiling ran upstairs and into Sakura's room.
"Kero," Tomoyo called at a whisper while Meiling could only look at the floor.
"Look at this," Meiling said, crouching down by The Book of Clow. "It never looked like this before."
Tomoyo crouched down too and looked at the book. Meiling was right. It did look different.
Meiling picked it up and tried to open the seal. "It's stuck!"
"Here, let me try," Tomoyo said and Meiling handed the book over to her.
Tomoyo tried as hard as she could to open it but didn't have any luck. She was panting after trying so hard at opening it.
Meiling picked up the book and sat on Sakura's bed while Tomoyo stayed on the floor. Trying as hard as she could, Meiling still couldn't break the seal.
"I bet Kero is in there," Tomoyo stated after a while.
"What do you mean?" Meiling asked, confused at how a small stuffed animal-like creature could fit into a book.
"Kero's spirit was put back into the book and the cards all spread out over the city," Tomoyo explained.
"Then who will catch them again?" Meiling asked again. "We certainly can't."
"We'll just have to wait until another Cardcaptor comes," Tomoyo replied.
"How can we wait?" Meiling asked, getting up with an angry look on her face.
"It's our only choice," Tomoyo said, tears running down her cheeks. The one thing that reminded her of Sakura was unable to be opened and Sakura's Guardian was gone, too. Nothing was left of her dearest friend...

Snow Horse: *crying her eyes out* I've been crying for so long! I did this in the morning before school and when I got there, I had to hold back tears. I know you all hate me, but I promise it'll get better! And if you must send flames, then make them less harsh...
Tomoyo: Make the flames as harsh as possible! She killed Sakura and Li!!!!!!!!!!
Snow Horse: It's hard being an author. Killing your own characters...
Meiling: You mean killing CLAMP's characters, don't you?
Snow Horse: *throws pillow at Meiling* Just send your flames already! Or nice reviews if you have them. I'm introducing one of my new characters in the next chapter so I hope you can give a warm welcome to her!!!!!!!

Sakura grabbed the cards from her pocket and looked at them until she found the one she wanted.
"JUMP!" Sakura yelled and her shoes got little wings on them. She dodged the bolts with The Jump Card and was looking for its center. Syaoran was doing the same but without the card, so they could make it harder for the card since they were separated.
