Sakura was dreaming...Clow Reed was standing before Sakura, like when she
had
used the Return Card. "Sakura", he said, "The time is coming near when you have to
create new Sakura Cards. Instead of sealing them like you always have, you must create
them out of your own power. A descendant of an old friend of mine will help you. History
will repeat itself until there are 100 cards. Cerberus and Yue will fade gradually, so you
must make two new guardians. Your next descendant will have the power of a Card
Captor, and he will need your help." Suddenly he began to fade. "Wait!" Sakura
shouted, but Clow Reed only had one last word of advice, "It doesn't count what card
you have, it matters how you use it." "What do you mean?" Sakura asked him, but he
had already disappeared. Then her father appeared. "Sakura", he said-
"Are you going to get ready for school?" He called. Sakura woke up, and let out
a loud "Hoe!" When she saw the time. 7:45 "I'm going to be late!" She quickly got
dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. Touya was down there, drinking his coffee
calmly. "So my little sister sleeps in for a monster", he said with a smirk. Sakura would
have gotten mad years earlier, but this time the most she did was stomp his foot
REALLY hard. Baka onii-chan, or stupid brother. Then she grabbed her school bag and
lunch bag, put on her roller blades and left, saying, "Bye, Father!" Touya walked (or
limped; since when does Sakura wear rubber spikes to breakfast?) upstairs to Sakura's
room to wake up Cerberus (or known to many as Kero-chan). "Kero-chan, don't you
want breakfast?' he asked. The stuffed animal jumped up. "Pancakes for me!" He
shouted, flying down. Touya had dots for eyes and sweat-dropped. "I think we have a
new Yukito around here."
Sakura was just turning the bend, when someone in broken Japanese shouted out,
"Wait up!" Sakura turned to see a red-haired girl with a boy cut roller- blading also, who
caught up to her easily. In fact, if she weren't wearing a girl uniform, Sakura would have
mistaken her for a boy. Somehow with increased speed they managed to get to school on
time. The teacher Ms. Akechi asked the red head to stand at the front of the class. "Class
this is Fujimoto Juri. She is a temporary transfer student from America, and will be
staying with us for a week. Juri, will you tell us a few things about yourself?'" The
teacher asked. Juri nodded. "My actual name is Jane Fowers, but since I'm part Japanese
from my mother's side, she gave me a Japanese name since the family surname for my
maternal grandmother is Fujimoto. I learned Japanese from linguist classes at a recreation
center that held a very interesting program, which led to my four other friends." Juri
stopped there and smiled at Sakura. Sakura felt a gentle probing in her mind, but didn't
pay much attention to it. "Fujimoto-san, will you please sit in the desk next to Kinomoto-
san?" Ms. Akechi asked. Juri nodded, and she sat down, she smiled at Sakura again.
Tomoyo, who had a hand camera, was filming all of this, deciding to call it "Sakura and
the New Face." What she didn't know was that Juri knew Sakura. Juri put a finger on
Sakura's arm, and began transmitting a long and distant memory...
Nadeshiko Kinomoto and Sayoko Fowers looked at their two-year olds at what
would be their last meeting. "Nadeshiko, how much longer until you fade?" Sayoko
asked. Her daughter, Juri stopped running and listened. Fade? Does she mean fade as in
die? Juri thought. Sakura tapped her. "Tag. You it!" She shouted with pleasure. Juri
shook her head. "You Mom fading", she said gravely. Sakura didn't understand; she just
danced around. Juri sighed as she listened to more of the conversation. "Fujitaka doesn't
know he's the other half of Clow Reed. After Touya's fourteen, I will be leaving since
Sakura will find the Clow Cards and change them into the Sakura Cards on her own. And
maybe even Create a few." Sayoko nodded. " In due time I will pass the Fujimoto Cards
to Jane", she faded off, seeing her daughter looking at them. "Why do call her Jane,
Sayoko?" Nadeshiko asked. "Isn't Juri her family name?" "It is", Sayoko said firmly,
"but I don't want Jane to grow up as a girl with two names. So it is Jane. When she is old
enough to understand the importance of the Fujimoto Cards, then I will pass them to
her." She helped Nadeshiko and Sakura outside. "Don't worry", Nadeshiko smiled. "It's
not truly goodbye for one of us." Then she was gone...
Sakura stared a Juri, who merely smiled back and took her finger off of Sakura's
arm. They didn't say anything else to each other until lunchtime. "Sakura, I know about
the cards" Juri said, explaining all that had happened within the previous years. Sakura
looked in fascination at the Fujimoto Cards, which looked a lot like the Sakura Cards
except they were white. Syaoran Li, unofficially Sakura's boyfriend also looked at them.
"Did one of your ancestors ever know Clow Reed?" he asked. Juri nodded. Then Syaoran
explained the relation between Kenzubaro Fujumoto and Clow Reed, and how powerful
they were. "In fact they were able to seal away the most powerful evils and create the
Clow Cards. But something terrible happened", he said grimly, "Somehow there was a
spell called Copy, which only needs hard concentration, and it was used to create a whole
new set of cards that were set loose on the world. Jounichi was able to seal away these
cards, but when he sealed the Void card, Clow lost his most important feeling, which was
to that woman in Hong Kong." He nodded at Sakura, who remembered that. Suddenly
they heard, "You!" They turned to see Juri calmly staring at a girl who was in wildfire.
"Konichiwa, Chaco", Juri said calmly. Chaco, which was obviously the other girl's name,
attacked her. "I told you they are rightfully mine! I should have the cards, not you!"
"Chaco, let's settle this later", Juri said, avoiding the stares of the other eighth-graders,
and sent Penguin Park at Nine to both Sakura, Syaoran and Chaco, who was though
fuming, walked away. Sakura looked at Juri as if to say, What was that about? "Sakura,
Chaco is an old enemy of mine. We used to be in linguist classes together, and she was
totally peeved at me for learning Japanese faster. Also, she found out about my Fujimoto
Cards, she wanted them, thinking she was the most powerful sorceress in the world. So I
had to teach her a thing or too, and I came out first. She moved to Japan I heard, but
thank goodness you're in different classes." She then went to get ready for her next class.
Tomoyo was beaming after Sakura had told her what had happened. "Sakura, I can't wait
for you to try on my battle costume tonight." Both Sakura and Syaoran fell over anime
style. Some things never changed.
Touya arrived home early. School had ended early, for a change, and he was
planning to crash on Kero-chan while the guardian was playing with video games. He
shifted uneasily at the thought of Sakura with magic. He had found out just a few months
ago,
FLASHBACK
"Now Fujitaka will be able to see ghosts, and have the powers of Clow Reed",
Eriol Hiiragizawa smiled warmly at Sakura, who was running towards Syaoran, repeated
thanking him. Touya had then woken up, not really remembering anything. "What?" he
had gasped, seeing Sakura hug Syaoran? "Sakura, get away from that brat!" Sakura had
then run to Touya to stomp on his foot. "Li-kun is not a brat!" she had shouted. Then one
of Sakura's cards, Return, flew from her hand, and then Touya had seen all of Sakura's
adventures. Then they had talked. "So you don't have your powers anymore?" Sakura
cried; knowing Touya would no longer be able to see ghosts. Touya shook his head. Then
when they had gone to Fujitaka, he had the powers of Clow Reed, so he knew about the
cards.
END FLASHBACK
Touya frowned. Something was not right. Then he saw her. She had appeared in
front of him. An ordinary girl, no? She had brown skin, and her eyes held a warm brown
in them, giving a feeling of trust behind oval shaped glasses. But it was the clothes. She
was wearing blue robes with a golden R across the center, robes that had a tinge of magic
in them. Touya stared at her. "Who are you?" he asked. She didn't answer but held out
her hand. "Take it", she ordered, but with a smile. Touya instinctively took it, and they
began walking through a portal. "Where are we going?" Touya looked around the swirls
of colors. The girl shook her head. "I'm not leading you. You are the one leading me."
Touya looked and gasped. The girl was right. He had been walking on his own, and the
girl had been lagging behind. They had finally reached their destination; the portal ended,
and Touya had jumped out first, the girl following him. They had landed in an area,
where it was dark, and the only light came from one crystal ball. "Touch it", the girl had
coaxed. On instinct, Touya did, and felt energy rushing through him. The next minute the
ball fell to the ground and shattered, and Touya was now engulfed in the light. "What's
happening?" he stretched a hand towards the girl. "You lost powers that shouldn't have
been yours years ago", the girl answered with a surprising calmness. "These new powers
allow you to travel through other dimensions and to other worlds. One day they will
prove useful for you, and sometimes you have to let go of the things you most want."
Then Touya heard his sister's voice. "Onii-chan? Is that you?" Touya shook his head,
pinching himself to make sure he was awake. It was just a daydream. But then he looked
down at his hand, and it was glowing. "Sure I'm here, monster", he laughed, knowing
what to expect.
