*DISCLAIMERS*
Yadda yadda yadda. You all know the disclaimers rite now. We all know that fanfic writers dont
own CardCaptorSakura characters and the storyline. That belongs to CLAMP. This fanfic has MY
storyline. That's that.

A/N: this part is.. kind of short..... just a spin off of the upcoming story. *SOME* S&S in here.
The biggie will come later x_x with a fanart picture too if I can find the time to scan it.

"Just a reminder to all of you that next week is the Mother-Daughter dinner. It would be great
if all you girls could make it, and it would be even better if you brought your mom with you."
The teacher announced. "Now, class is dismissed for lunch."
The class left in a hurry, leaving all the girls chatting about the mother-daughter dinner. Some
excited, some angered, and some depressed.
Our heroine just so happened to be one of those depressed girls.
"My mom is going to make her special Ramen recipe to serve," Chiharu bragged. "She makes the best
Ramen ever."
"Speaking of ramen..." Yamazaki popped up out of nowhere.
"YAMERU!! Enough of that nonsense! Not even you are allowed to make fun of my mom's ramen!"
Chiharu yelled as she started choking Yamazaki again.
Everyone else sweatdropped and continued eating their lunch.
"My mom is busy, so I'll have to be by myself for the first half. My mom promised to come after,"
Tomoyo said.
"Mom wants us to go early." Naoko sighed. "I had to cancel my piano lessons."
"me and my mom aren't coming." Rika said.
"Why not??" Naoko asked.
"My grandpa's sick, so I have to stay with her and help." Rika explained.
"Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked.
"Oh, don't worry. He just has the flu. We have to help though because he cant take care of himself
and my mom says he's a handful."
Chiharu sighed and sat back down. "You think your grandpa's a handful... try Yamazaki."
Chiharu nodded and pointed at Yamazaki who was now getting Syaoran to buy another lie.
The others giggled, then looked at Sakura.
"You haven't said a word since lunch began.. you're always cheery," Naoko pointed out.
Sakura just sat silent.
"Are you okay?" Rika asked.
Tomoyo shook her head. "I think it's the mother-daughter dinner."
"I wont have anyone for the whole night..." Sakura mumbled.
"Don't worry, Sakura-chan. You can sit with me and my mom for the whole time if you want, if you're
going to come!" Chiharu smiled.
Sakura smiled back. "Arigatou, Chiharu-chan."

The class got down to their homework after the teacher explained briefly of what to do.
They were assigned some math questions, leaving Sakura confused and to bear with the thought of
thinking hard.
Syaoran could only smile as he watched Sakura fumble with the numbers in her head. He couldn't
see her face, but she looked cute from the back anyways. He decided to start on his work, and
he managed to work through most of them quite easily.
He cracked his knuckles when he hit a tough question, and got back to working again.
Then he paused.
What was that? Who's presence did he just feel? Someone different..
He looked ahead and saw Sakura, who also paused. She was shaking and gripping her pencil tightly.
The tip of the lead then broke.
Why?
This person.. was definitely stronger than Syaoran himself, but not as strong as Sakura. Her
magic was overwhelming.
But, this presence.. it was obviously disturbing Sakura.
"Sakura, is something the matter?" The teacher asked as he turned to her.
"N... no...... nothing.." Sakura assured.
The teacher nodded. "If there is something bothering you, be sure to tell me right away."
Sakura could only nod back.

"Sakura, you really scared me earlier... you were shaking so much, and you looked so scared..."
Tomoyo went to comfort her friend. "Are you sure it isn't about the dinner?"
It was after school, and most people have already left.
Syaoran shook his head, calling off Tomoyo's question. "The presence is weaker than yours... so..
why?"
Sakura looked in Syaoran's amber eyes. "I... I know that! Are... are you saying that I cant sense
anything?"
Syaoran, taken aback, could just stand there shocked.
"Wh... what makes you think I'm saying that? I'm just asking why.... "
"I know you're asking why! But your asking a question like that is like insulting what I feel!"
Syaoran stopped for a second. Sakura never acted like this before. She would be scared at times,
but not so scared to make her react like this.
"Is it a ghost?" Tomoyo calmly asked.
"Don't start either, Tomoyo. I'm... I'm not scared! Just... just surprised to feel a strong
presence around here..!" Sakura couldn't get a grip of herself. She just stared into her friend's
eyes, and then calmed down.
"I'm sorry... it's just... I don't know..." Sakura sighed.
"Don't worry about it. We'll walk home together." Syaoran told her.
Sakura was about to make another comment about his 'insults', but trusted him this time... he had
a gist of what was going on already.
"So then, lets go!" Tomoyo said.
The other two nodded in agreement.

"Aren't you two cold?" Sakura asked.
"No, It's quite warm outside... are you cold?" Tomoyo asked. "You can use my jacket if you want..."
"It's okay. I'm just..... a little chilly." Sakura replied.
"Are you sure?" Syaoran asked, about to offer his jacket as well.
Sakura nodded and shivered.
Syaoran took this as another sign of Sakura's over-modesty and took off his jacket.
"Eeh.... uh.. Syaoran-kun.. you really don't... have to..." Sakura smiled nervously.
"Its okay. I need to cool down anyways." Syaoran shrugged it off. "Just wear it."
Sakura, having no choice, put on the jacket and buttoned it up. It was really warm. Sakura snuggled
in and breathed in his scent. Then another shiver went up her spine.
"Ho.... ho~e?" Sakura asked as she looked around.
"You felt it too?" Syaoran asked.
"Felt what?? Are you sensing what you felt earlier?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah..." Syaoran said. Sakura didn't reply.
"Oh my....." Tomoyo said in a depressed tone.
"Are you okay, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.
"I didn't bring my video camera.. I *knew* I had to bring it to school for some reason today!!"
"..!!! Not now Tomoyo! This is a different situation.." Sakura told her.
"..... I understand.... but it's still a shame that I forgot it." Tomoyo added.
The three stopped in their tracks and huddled back to back. Syaoran could feel it coming closer
and closer.
It was coming.
All Sakura could do was hide deeper in Syaoran's jacket.
"There!!" Syaoran pointed to a figure appearing in the distance.
"Tomoyo.... you'd better find a place to hide.. it'll be dangerous," Sakura turned to her friend.
Tomoyo nodded and ran behind a few bushes not far from the place they were standing.
Sakura, still with her back to Syaoran, wanted to turn to see the figure. Wanted to but was too
scared to.
But, after all that has happened.. now that she was strong....
Everything will be all right...
Sakura closed her eyes and smiled. She repeated the very words in her mind.
'Everything will be all right. Because I'm Sakura, and I have people who believe in me. And
because I have Syaoran. Everything will be all right.'
She turned and stood behind Syaoran, who was now face to face with the figure.
Sakura's eyes widened, showing an obvious sign of fear.
She took two steps back.
"No... nothing will be all right..." she whispered.
