Lchan: Please review this!!! I would really, really appreciate it. I'm used to getting few reviews (sniff, sniff...sadly), but that doesn't make me like it. Please, minna, feedback!! Comments and compliments welcome, but flames...no. It would be better if you contribute a nicely-typed flame in the guise of a comment. Onegai! Flames can a)discourage me and affect my writting b)get me down c)humiliate and totally whallop my pride d)all of the above.

I especially hate A and C...and B. Okay, so I hate D most, but you get my point!!

I'm rambling. Sorry. Please read and review!! I promise to update real soon if I receive enuf feedback. Uhm...okay. Thanks a lot!

Prologue

All was quiet...

A soft breeze blew through the city...

Streetlights glowed, houses were dark...

Sakura Kinomoto's peaceful face could be seen sleeping in her room...eyes closed, lips curved into a slight smile...signs that she was having the sweetest dreams...a blooming blossom, serene and innocent.

Syaoran, on the other hand, in his apartment room, was trapped in uncomfortable sleep...his auburn hair swept messily across his forehead, damp with sweat that dripped from his temples...his breathing was fast and uneven...constant tossing and turning showing his sheer discomfort.

Kero, sticky drool forming on the side of his mouth, slept unmindful of anything by the window...the absence of alertness on his features somehow showing that he was dreaming about cupcakes in Tutti Frutti Land again.

From the desk that was stashed with homework papers and a couple of alarm clocks, a rebellious Clow Card, with its glossy pink surface and the sweet- faced creature on the front, waited for a gust of strong wind.

When it came, the Card danced with it, blissfully sailing out the window, slowly foating straight down towards the pavement. Just before it touched the ground, however, it glowed a brief flash of white and disappeared.

And all was quiet again...

A soft breeze blew through the city...

Streetlights glowed, houses were dark...

And still, uneasy, restless sleep tortured a young Chinese boy while a sweet blooming flower rested, dreaming beautiful dreams...
