(Let's see the last time we left off)

"If you're going to continue to talk we're going to miss our flight!" Touya yelled.

"Ours?" sakura asked.

"Mine, Yours, Tomoyo's and Yukitos" Touya said.

"HOE!!" Sakura yelled.

Chapter Two: A New Power

"Yup c'mon let's get moving!" Touya said.

"Since when did you get a ticket?" Sakura yelled.

"Easy… when you got yours" Touya replied.

"B-B-but" Sakura stammered annoyed.

"C'mon let's go" Touya said.

"Why?" Sakura asked.

"Well considereing… how depressed you were when dad rejected you the first time.. I decided to step in despite your "quest" to find that Chinese Brat" Touya replied

"And you're a very good big brother but we are really going to miss our flight" Yukito yelled from outside waiting with Tomoyo.

"And I think I need a vacations from all these summer part time jobs" Touya sighed. They ran into Tomoyo's limousine and went to airport. As they boarded the flight Sakura couldn't help but feel nervous about her trying to find Syaoran or even meeting him after two long years.

"I think I better get a snack…" Sakura said as she grabbed her bag from under the seat. As she was rummaging in her backpack she felt something round. When she pulled it out it was Kero who eating a large chocolate chip cookie.

"Kero-Chan!" Sakura yelled.

"How could you forget me?" Kero yelled.

"I wouldn't … I didn't think you'd want to see Syaoran-kun" Sakura said.

"I'm not here for that kid… I'm here to protect you and to see Meiling again!" he yelled happily.

"I see." Sakura said.

"Plus… I feel a strong aura coming form the direction we're flying in" Kero said.

"Really? So I'm not going crazy?" Sakura asked.

"You've felt it too? It's very different actu-"

"There's more than one strong aura… infact… two of them seem familiar… but the others… are" Sakura stopped herself to think.

"Could it be the legend from a long time ago?" Kero asked.

"What's that?" Sakura asked.

"Nothing.. " he said "Well I hope it's nothing".

"Now that we're more closer… I can sense … that's weird." Sakura said to herself.

"Who? That Kid's Aura? Well it should've of gotten stronger" Kero said.

"No….Eriol's" Sakura said.

"Eriol?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yeah… for some reason I can sense his aura in the direction of China" Sakura said. Tomyo felt her cheeks slowly blush a pink.

"Are you okay Tomoyo-chan?" Kero asked.

"I'm okay," Tomoyo said.

"Are you sure you look a little red… " Sakura said.

"No I'm fine…" Tomoyo said.

"Well I better head back into your backpack but when the flight lady comes back grab me a good snack!" Kero said. As the plane landed the four of them took a nice car ride to their new house.

"It feels kind of good to be back" Sakura said.

"Ever since you won that trip a while back" Tomoyo said filming around.

"Say… Tomoyo-chan… where is that place you said your mom rented out," Touya said.

"Your looking at it" Tomoyo replied. Touya, Yukito and Sakura turned their heads to see a large white house staring back at them.

"You've gotta be kidding me…" Touya said at looking how large the house is.

"Is it too small I suppose?" Tomoyo asked.

"I think it's pretty good…" Yukito said happily. As they walk in Tomoyo pointed out where there rooms would be and Sakura walked up to her own room to take a break.

"Aw this is cute" Sakura said looking at the stuff animals on the desk and the prints on her bed. She layed down against her bed and took a great big sigh.

"I'm finally here after months of persuading father," Sakura said.

Who Am I kidding I mean it's been two whole years… Why hasn't he come back yet? Maybe its because I've neglected to come for him. Maybe he actually wanted to forget me…

"That Aura!" Sakura yelled. She sense a strong aura somewhere not far from the house.

"You sense it too?" Kero yelled jumping out of the bag with chocolate chip cookies on his face.

"Let's go!" Sakura said as they ran downstairs.

"I'm going out!" she yelled.

"Wait Sakura you don't know where you're going!" Touya yelled.

"I'll be back," Sakura said.

"She's excited just to find Li-kun huh?" Yukito said.

"With running out like that she'll never find him…good riddance" Touya said. Sakura ran towards a small park and noticed a figure there sitting on a bench far away.

"Eriol-kun!" Sakura yelled running closer to only a teenage girl sitting there.

"You sure do look like…Eriol" she mumbled to herself. The girl had light blue eyes and her hair was long and flowing.

"May I help you miss?" the girl asked.

"Ummm have you seen a young man? Maybe dark blue hair and dark eyes?" Sakura asked.

"No I'm sorry…" she said.

"Well...is it okay if I sit next to you?" Sakura asked and the girl nodded.

"My name is Emiko what's your name?" she asked.

"Sakura, Sakura Kinomoto" Sakura said.

"mmm… you look sad… is something bothering you?" Emiko asked.

"umm... kind of … I've been looking for a friend of mine because he promised me he would come back" Sakura said.

"I see…well life there is always room for second chances… isn't that right?" Emiko said.

"I guess so… " Sakura said to herself.

"Well then… shouldn't you give the person your looking for a second chance?" Emiko asked.

"Your right … he might have been doing something important" Sakura said. Emiko looked at her watch and stood up.

"You're leaving already?" Sakura asked.

"I have someone to catch up to and some things to get ready for I'm sorry" Emiko said.

"No it's okay, I have to go somewhere too or else my brother will get mad" Sakura replied. Emiko walked away and Sakura decided to walk back to the house since her brother might be worrying like crazy. As Sakura walked Emiko walked behind a tree to see her brother Eriol sweating as if it were a hot summer's day.

"With the way you jolted I thought you'd of left China by now" Emiko said.

"Sakura is quite a finder of my aura… if I didn't run into the forest she would of found us out" Eriol said.

"It is really today?" Emiko said.

"This is what I had foreseen but with Sakura-chan you don't what may happen" Eriol said.

"You make it sound like it's a bad thing…" Emiko said.

"I'm not… I mean life is unpredictable isn't it?" Eriol replied and Emiko nodded.

"Well we must keep watching… or else we might miss something" Eriol said walking away form the park.

"Hearts are so unpredictable as are you big brother," Emiko said. As they walked towards a different direction Sakura walked back home Touya was quietly waiting outside.

"I'm home!" Sakura yelled.

"Well go change!" Touya yelled annoyed.

"Why's that?" Sakura asked.

"Touya says we should go out to lunch for the first time in China" Yukito said.

"I offered to treat all you but he wanted to do it himself" Tomoyo said grabbing her video camera.

"Really?" Sakura asked.

"Now come on! I must dress you!" Tomoyo yelled.

"But Tomoyo-chan I've brought my own clothes!" Sakura said.

"You are not walking into a restaurant without looking your best" Tomoyo said grabbing Sakura's hand and quietly dragging Sakura into the house.

"Tomoyo-chan must work out doesn't she?" Yukito asked.

"If she can carry my sister then she must" Touya said.

"Tomoyo-chan! This is too ah!" Sakura yelled embarrassed.

"Your so cute!" Tomoyo yelled filming it on camera. Sakura came wearing a simple white ¾ sleeved shirt and a cute gray overall skirt that was slightly baggy. Sakura even wore a cute gray flower pin and matching knee-length gray socks.

"It's really embarrassing" Sakura said.

"Well let's go I'm really hungry," Touya said. As they drove into the city Sakura could feel Syaoran's aura come closer and closer. She didn't want to follow it because her brother might just call off her "education in china". They walked into a nice restaurant and quickly ordered their food.

"This place really smells good" Yukito said. Tomoyo was filming and looked over maybe 2 tables down to see a young woman with straight black hair and glowing red eyes. She was quietly sitting drinking a cup of coffee and sighing.

"She awfully looks like..." Tomoyo mumbled to herself.

"What is it Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked.

"Nothing" she replied.

The young woman's cellphone on the table rang and she picked it up. Sakura had managed to pick up a couple of Chinese words from this book she read back in Japan.

"Hello? AH!!! Xiaohu you can't keep calling me if you feel lonely ok?" the woman screamed.

"My she sure remind me of Meiling-chan" Sakura said sheepishly.

"She sure does" Tomoyo said.

"HEY! The food is getting cold… do you want Yukito to finish all this food?" Touya asked.

"LISTEN TO ME! Eh?! I don't care if he doesn't want to hang out with you! XIAOLONG CAN JUMP OFF A ROOF FOR ALL I CARE!" She yelled. Sakura dropped her chopsticks hearing the word "Xiaolong" ring through her ear.

"M-meiling-chan?" Tomoyo asked.

"Hm? How do you know my name?" Meiling asked.

"Don't you recognize us? It's me Sakura Kinomoto" Sakura said. Meiling looked at her from head to toe and then ooked at Sakura's eyes.

"Hoe?" Sakura said confused.

"AHH! Your really here Sakura-chan!" Meiling yelled happily.

"Umm..how about we sit down and you know have a regular lunch?" Touya asked. Meiling paid for her coffee and sat down with Sakura and Tomoyo.

"Sakura-chan… you've grown up so pretty and Tomoyo looks pretty too!" Meiling yelled.

"What about you? I didn't even recognize you!" Sakura said.

"So I see everyone is ok but wher-" Meiling said.

"I'M RIGHT HERE!" Kero yelled and Sakura stuffed him back into her backpack.

"People might see you!" Sakura yelled.

"Kero is the same I see" Meiling said.

"So Meiling how is Li-kun?" Tomoyo asked knowing Sakura didn't have the courage to ask about him. Meiling's eyes flared with anger but then looked at Sakura's eyes that were anticipating for an answer. She closed her eyes and sighed.

"Since we've came back… Syaoran hasn't been the same" Meiling said.

"Really?" Sakura said.

"…. Apparently they found him a new wife her name is Jingfei she knows magic just as much as Syaoran" Meiling said.

"Oh I see" Sakura said feeling her heart was being suppressed.

"And the strangest things…is he can't seem to remember you.." Meiling said. Sakura just felt her heart drop even more.

"Why would Syaoran ever forget about Sakura doesn't he love Sakura?" Tomoyo yelled.

"I don't know but I definitely recalled it started about a year ago" Meiling said.

"…. How long ago" Sakura managed to say.

"A year or ago maybe… 6 months after we came back" Meiling said.

(A/n: ANOTHER FLASHBACK WOOSH!)

"Can't we just leave these two?" a boy yelled.

"No way! I'm never leaving Xiaolong and that chick behind!" Meiling said.

"Fine… then it would be a lovely double date!" he yelled happily. Meiling noticed Syaoran was wearing a green scarf and she smiled.

"Hey! Xiaolong.. I still remember when you told me that scarf Sakura-chan made for you" Meiling said.

"hmm? Who's Sakura?" Syaoran asked.

"You've got to be kidding … the reason why you went to Japan the girl you love!" Meiling yelled.

"Oh that card mistress… was that her name? Well let's go Jingfei wants to go to a ice parlor," Syaoran said.

"What? What the hell is wrong with you?" Meiling asked grabbing him by the collar. He gave her a cold look and removed her hand from his collar.

"Get off me Meiling" he said as he walked away.

(Goodbye flashback!)

"And that's how everything started… I was so angry at him for doing something like that" Meiling said.

"You shouldn't get angry at Syaoran-kun it's has been two whole years…" Sakura said.

"Well if that's how you feel…how about we pay that crazed cousin of mine a little visit?" Meiling asked. Sakura's mouth dropped and Tomoyo looked at her worried.

"Shouldn't we wait a while? I mean we are tired from out flight and all" Tomoyo said.

"Don't be so shy! We can all meet together I mean… Xiaolong's mother would be excited" Meiling said grabbing Sakura.

"Is it okay?" Sakura asked.

"It's the weekend as long as this Chinese girl know where's going I'll be okay with it let me take your bag" Touya said reluctantly.

"Okay…" Sakura said unsure of what was going to happen after all the stuff she heard. Tomoyo sighed and watched as Sakura was anxiously walking onto the bus.

"I hope meiling knows what she's doing" Tomoyo said.

When they got off to the stop Sakura felt Syaoran's aura just from the door itself. It felt cold which sent chills to Sakura's body. As Meiling knocked on the door there was a calm silence in the house.

"Auntie? AUNTIE! I have a surprise for you!" Meiling yelled happily looking around through the windows. A old man opened the door.

"Ah Miss Meiling… it has been quite a while since I have last seen you… Sakura-san how are you?" he asked.

"Wei… it's nice to see you again" Sakura said.

"Where is Xiaolong? "Meiling asked.

"He is at a meeting with the elders and Jingfei nothing out of the ordinary I suppose" Wei said.

"Well…I guess we can take a peek right?" Meiling asking Sakura and Tomoyo.

"No no..that'd be spying" Sakura yelled.

"No it won't I do it all the time… " Meiling said as they walked over to the next building. As Sakura, Tomoyo and Meiling walked to the entrance to eavesdrop the door suddenly opened.

"You can come in Meiling… you don't have to eavesdrop anymore," a girl said.

"Sorry JingFei" Meiling said embarrassed as the three walked in.

"Hm? Are these your friends Meiling?" Someone said. Sakura felt her cheeks flushed as that sentence echoed in her head. She looked up to see none other than Syaoran his amber eyes and his hair had grown out more. Sakura felt a large lump in her throat as she saw Syaoran stare at her with a blank expression on his face.

"I'm sorry this is Sakura and Tomoyo friends of syaoran and mine too from way when" Meiling said.

"It's very nice to meet you" Tomoyo said and Sakura faked a smile as she looked at Jingfei and Syaoran. She felt her eyes were getting tense and watery.

"My, My, for such a young age… you posses quite a lot of magic and your cute too!" Elder Ming said from the background.

"Thank you very much" Sakura said.

"No wonder Lady Yelan had recommended you two years ago…" Elder Li said.

"Is that so? She doesn't look like much to me…Compared to Jingfei" Elder Shen mumbled in the corner.

"I assure you… she knows a lot" Tomoyo said.

"Well how about we put that to test why not?" Jingfei said.

"Eh?" Sakura said.

"AH! A test between the candidates how exciting!" Elder Shen yelled.

"I guess that's not a problem…" Sakura said to herself looking at Syaoran then to Jingfei to agree to combat.

As Sakura was calling her Key Elder Li immediately in a swift of wind grabbed it and Sakura was shocked.

"Only pure magic" Jingfei said.

"That girl….Jingfei maybe we should let her use her weapon." Syaoran said.

"Be quiet Xiaolong this is only between her and me" Jingfei said and Syaoran studied the girl.

"Where have I met you? This strange aura seems to me familiar and warm" he said to himself. Sakura looked at Key that was just stolen away and nodded to Jingfei.

"What Sakura this is dangerous you've haven't fully mastered your powers!" Tomoyo said.

"I'm fine Tomoyo-chan… don't worry about me" Sakura said.

"Sakura-chan you are really being stubborn" Meiling said.

"This is for me… to prove I'm more than just some card mistress" Sakura said.

"Agreed then let's begin" Jingfei said as she held out her palm and suddenly from a simple light there was a sword with Chinese lettering written on it's blade.

"Ho-" Sakura said surprised.

"Pure magic can create many things a lesson you may have to learn the hard way" Jingfei yelled as with one slash of her sword numerous waves of water came. Sakura turned to see Tomoyo and Meiling also in the line with the wave. As Meiling quickly dogged it Tomoyo screamed until she was immediately teleported to a safe spot in the temple. When Tomoyo opened her eyes she was shocked to see a good-looking boy had managed to save.

"Those kind..eyes" Tomoyo mumbled.

"It's nice to see you again too Daidouji-san" he said.

"Hiiragizawa-kun!" Tomoyo yelled but Eriol shushed her.

"We must keep quiet" Eriol said.

"Why is this happening?" Tomoyo asked.

"I'll explain later when this battle is over…right now all we can do is watch," Eriol said. Tomoyo blushed despite Eriol having a serious look on his face but shook it off again as the battle continued. Sakura was mercilessly being whipped around by water and was slowly starting to bleed.

"You must fight this Sakura…" Eriol mumbled.

"Are you really weak? No wonder my grandfather would even accept a girl like you into the clan" Jingfei said lashing one more attack as Sakura fell against the ground.

"SAKURA-CHAN!" Tomoyo yelled.

"So weak… so much for a strong card mistress" Jingfei said turning around and facing syaoran.

"This is why I was chosen," she yelled. Syaoran looked at Sakura helplessly lying cold against the floor and Tomoyo was crying.

"Look…" Eriol said in a calm voice and Tomoyo looked up to see Sakura slowly standing up. Her eyes were determined of beating the girl in front of her.

"I'm not weak" she managed to say.

"What was that?" Jingfei said.

"I SAID I'M NOT WEAK!" Sakura yelled clenching her first and a pink aura had formed around it.

"You call me Sakura-chan… then can I call you Syaraon-kun?"

"Sakura-chan?" Syaoran asked slowly remembering a young girl asking him that question and he agreed to it happily. The pink aura had slowly formed into a sword as well, in contrast to her regular wand, the handle had a very pointed star similar to Eriol's and the wings of the side were fully angel wings.

"She can't use it for too long…where is she?" Eriol asked.

"What's this… some pathetic excuse of an aura … can't create a lot" Jingfei as she continued to attack her with water whips but Sakura's sword managed to deflect most of it. Jingfei bit her lip and charged at her only to be shot at from a far away distance with a silver arrow on her arm.

"I think we've seen enough," someone yelled. Everyone turned around to see Emiko there with a silver bow and arrow in her arms. She walked forward and with a couple movements of her fingers Sakura's sword disappeared and Sakura fell to the floor exhausted.

"Pretty good for calling it" Emiko said.

"Your… the girl from the park" Sakura said weakly.

"On what grounds do you have to be here?" Jingfei yelled.

"Plenty…. Your grandfather should know about me isn't that right?" Emiko said happily.

"Grandfather?" Jingfei asked.

"She is … the new Sage of Hearts," he said. Jingfei looked at her embarrassed and politely bowed to her.

"I'm sorry to say but… Elder Shen… as a sage yourself you have really been abusing your power…reflecting it into someone who is not worthy or does not the heart to become such a sage is quite appalling" Emiko said looking at Jingfei.

"I have done no such thing" Elder Shen yelled.

"Let's not forget what powers such a sage such as Emiko has…" Elder Ming said with a smile on his face.

"What brings you to us" Elder Shen said.

"Simple… I want you to reconsider having Sakura as a candidate for Clan Leader" Emiko said.

"Impossible the young clan leader has long forgotten the face of the card mistress" Elder Shen yelled back. Emiko smiled at Syaoran who was sitting there innocently watching her talk to the elders.

"Have you really forgotten her?" Emiko asked.

"She's sort of familiar… I remembered I'd let her call me by my first name…Syaoran…" he said with a smile.

"He hasn't smiled like that in forever," Meiling said.

"His memory is not good enough… Jingfei shall be kept as the only candidate" Elder Shen yelled at Emiko.

"Then I propose that Sakura will go under the Sage's Act to qualify" Emiko said. Elder Shen was taken back at what she said and tried to think quickly.

"As stated there must be three sages present within the request" Elder Shen said.

"There's four … in this very room," Emiko said. Everyone looked around and Emiko smiled.

"Foolish child! There is only you and me," Elder Shen laughed.

"Oh? There's me Sage of Heart, there's you Sage of Water, Xiaohu is in the corner over there…" Emiko said pointing to a large foundation and a young man slowly came out.

"You caught me. Lady Emiko I'd be honored to witness" Xiaohu said bowing.

"He's the sage of earth and there's one more… but that'll have to wait since it is part of the task" Emiko said. Elder Shen thought over and over again looking at his granddaughter's gaping mouth at the whole topic of instating the test again.

"There is no rule you can put on me…" Emiko said. Elder Shen let out a big sigh and shook his head.

"No matter how much I disapprove… I must accept…" Elder Shen said.

"Good…" Emiko said, as she got ready to shoot an arrow into the roof.

"Powers of the Sage I Sage of Heart have instated the Sage's Act! A young woman must receive each your acceptance to overcome this act BEGIN!" Emiko yelled as she shoot the arrow and it passed through roof to send shining lights all over the place.

"This is going to be a long journey ahead of you Sakura-chan"
