Hello everyone! I'm sorry to inform everyone that I've completely rewritten this whole crossover, but I'm positive that it was better than the last one. As before, it is set before Sakura becomes mistress of the cards, so she is till capturing Clow Cards. Specifically, it's just after Li captured the Dream Card. Enjoy, people!

SAKURA POV

Sakura tossed and turned in her sleep, trapped in a iridescent tunnel of dreams and visions that she couldn't escape from, desperately seeking reality but unable to even touch the border between sleep and awareness. That same dream, playing in her mind every night. That same dream, the same mysteries.

A dark, twilight sky illuminated by a giant, silvery moon. White light thrown upon a pale pink tower, dozens of Clow Cards spiralling on a cold breeze. Herself standing on a concrete building ,clutching her staff, determined, but underneath she was petrified. A strange, shadowy figure perched on the tower.

"Who are you?" she demanded tentatively. Her question was always greeted with silence.

The dream was surreal and everything shifted and flickered like the pages of a book, yet it was so vivid that she could feel the soft air on her face and hear the light rustle of the Clow Cards fluttering past like red and gold butterflies.

But this time, something was different.

Her dream suddenly died like a candle being extinguished, and Sakura screamed as she was thrown into darkness. She stumbled around and gasped as the ground fell away beneath her, and she was tumbling into an abyss as dark as obsidian.

There was a flash of blinding light that seared the young girl's eyes, and before she knew it, she was back in the dream world again. She sat up and looked around at her, expecting to see the pale tower again.

But the sight before her took her completely by surprise.

She was standing a field of wispy, lime green grass that swayed on a breeze that wasn't there. An impossibly profound sky as dark as a crow's shadow arced above her, its surface spattered with a myriad of golden stars that sparkled like coins on a black table cloth with a yellow crescent moon painted in the west. But even though it was in the zenith of night time, it was brighter than daytime. Flower opened their petals to the moon, and behind her light poured out from a huge, grey torii gate. She could feel the light beckoning her, but Sakura resisted it's pull and turned her attention to a white shape edging closer towards her.

She quickly closed her eyes and tried to sense if it was a spirit of sorts. A swift analysis proved it to be of ethereal quality, and immense power radiated from it's body, warmer than the summer sun. She could not tell if it was hostile or not though, for she sensed both fierceness and compassion from the shimmering spirit.

Sakura decided to play it safe, and began to summon her staff. She held it front of her, and the world momentarily vanished as she concentrated on the task, the golden magic circle appearing at her feet.

"Oh Key of Clow," she chanted, the familiar words flowing from her mouth automatically. "Power of magic, Power of Light. Surrender the wand, the force ignite! Release!"

Yellow light erupted from the ground on a strong wind as the key transformed into a cerise pink staff with a head like a bird. It glowed softly as she grasped it tightly in front of her. Her hands shook slightly as she pulled The Windy out of her deck, and she shook away the fear knowing at her young heart. She'd captured far more dangerous spirits before, so this should be a piece of cake. She hoped.

As the white spirit came nearer, Sakura realised that it was an animal or something, a wolf she thought. The staff rattled in her hands at the thought. Wolves had a reputation of preying on little girls in fairytales.

"Windy!" she cried. "Release and Disp-"

Her words were cut off as the wolf halted next to her and there was another flash of brilliant light, and then she was engulfed by the same blackness as before. However, this time she could feel the presence of the wolf beside her, and hear it whine softly.

Sakura awoke with a shocked gasp, her breathe ragged and her heart hammering against her ribs like a hammer against a nail.

"Sakura!" the comfortingly familiar voice of Kero calmed her down. As the Guardian Beast shaped like a yellow plush toy glided towards her, she was certain all the strangeness was a dream.

"Are you alright?" asked Kero with concern. "I was so worried! You were tossing and turning, and moaning in your sleep. I tried to wake you, but I couldn't."

"I'm OK Kero," she replied with a relieved sigh. "Just a dream."

"The same one?" said Kero as he sat down beside her.

"Yeah, but this time it was slightly different."

"Different?" Kero enquired.

Sakura nodded and explained what had occurred.

"Strange…" murmured Kero, as he hovered in mid-air, forehead creased in deep thought. "It seemed to far realistic to be a normal dream, so perhaps it was a vision. But those are extremely rare, and I've never heard of a white wolf spirit before."

"What do you think it could mean?" Sakura sat with her legs pulled up to her chin, wrapped in her duvet. "You don't think the wolf was a… ghost?"

"I don't think so," replied the Guardian Beast. "The way you described it, it seemed to powerful. It's not a Clow Card, it's not a ghost, so it must be-"

There was a faint whimper from under the bed.

Sakura let out a small squeak of terror and leapt of the bed, Kero jumping back in fright too.

The noise came again, and then there was a soft shuffling and a black nose poked out from under the bed, sniffing cautiously. Sakura was about to summon her staff when Kero said "Wait!"

He drifted down to the floor and walked forwards to the nose. A head edged out, glimmering white and adorned with crimson markings. A wolf looked out, confusion and a touch of fear in its amber eyes.

"What on earth is happening?" whispered Kero.
