A/N: The bargains with Yuko are all done! What would Yuko want with Syaoran's (TC) right eye and it seems that Syaoran (CC) has paid the same price as his other self has paid before. Hey :[ Syaoran (TC) has paid twice to help Sakura (TC)! SCAM!
Chapter 4
'Sake!' Yuko declared happily.
Mokona seemed to agree with her. 'Go fetch Watanuki-kun!'
'I'm not for your sake delivering purposes, puff ball!' Watanuki yelled.
'Oh well,' Yuko stood up and picked up Mokona. She started swaying with Mokona to the couch as if she was about to die. 'Sigh. Without sake we're gonna die.' She fell to the couch playing nearly-dead. She stuck Mokona towards her. 'Oh Mokona what are we going to do? We'll die and Watanuki-kun's wish won't be granted.'
Watanuki's face became stoned.
Yuko then shifted to a smart look. 'And all these lives-' she referred to everyone present. '-will be at stake all because of Watanuki-kun.'
'Because of Watanuki-kun,' Mokona repeated.
Everyone shifted their eyes to Watanuki. A lot of sweat started to run down Watanuki's face …
… and a sudden roar blew throughout the house. 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! GET THE SAKE ALREADY!'
Watanuki ran out the door and went to get sake … if he knew the way to the stores. Damn rotten witch.

Yuko sat up. 'Well get that fluffy yellow toy into the mighty creature!'
The stuffed toy stood up and became proud. 'Ahah! About time someone praises me!'
Touya picked up Kero with the wings. 'So you are alive after all.'
'Hey let go of me!' Kero tried to wiggle his out. And Touya eventually dropped him. Kero landed on his butt on the table. Kero stood up rubbing his butt.
'Now,' Yuko said. 'Transform.'
Kero transformed into the winged lion - his true form. But unfortunately transformed on the table and the table crashed down snapped in two.
'I think you're the one eating the most of the sweets in this household,' Touya said. 'No wonder the table snapped.'
'So Sakura has been put into danger once again,' Keroberos said. He turned to Syaoran (CC). 'And a heavy price to pay … as always. Clow Reed liked your magic but not your demands.'
Everyone at the table (except the Mokonas) was surprised OO. Even Yue.
'Oh I wouldn't call it demands but offers! So how is Clow Reed nowadays?'
'I have not seen him for many years.'
'Exactly how many years?' Fai asked.
'Forty.'
'Wow did she use black magic to keep herself looking young?' Kurogane muttered and received a punch in the head afterwards … by Yuko.
'When did Clow Reed meet this woman?' Yue asked puzzlingly.
'You weren't there at the time. Clow was bargaining something from Yuko,' Keroberos said.
'And that would be?'
'I have no idea. They never mentioned what they were bargaining for and I don't know if she has fulfilled whatever wish that Clow Reed asked for.'
'So what did Clow Reed give in return to this woman?'
'Sakura.'

Where are the damn shops? Watanuki thought. He turned left, right, left, right, all around the alleyways and streets full of homes and parks but could not find his way to the shops wherever it is.
He then came upon a street full of sakura trees. Watanuki walked along the street enjoying the scenic view of the falling sakura petals. Then one petal hit Watanuki on the head hard. He then collapsed unconscious. The petal dropped beside him. It looked hard and shiny but after a moment it became a normal soft petal.

'Sakura?' Yue and all the others except Yuko were puzzled.
'Don't take the witch as the cause behind the abductions because I know that the repayment she still doesn't have.'
'Indeed,' Yuko said. 'I cannot fulfill your master's wish unless I have gained the repayment.'
'But what does Clow Reed mean by "Sakura",' Yue asked.
'That I don't know. I was even confused at the time of the bargaining. Only Clow Reed and Yuko knows and I don't think she has the intention of telling us what it really means.'
'Precisely,' Yuko said. 'But right now a dilemma is rising.'
Everyone listened to her attentively. Yuko had a very serious look on her face.
'What is it?' Syaoran (CC) said.
Yuko slammed her palms on the couch which startled everyone and stood up. 'Where is Watanuki-kun and the sake?!'
Everyone fell. - -;

Sakura (CC) wandered around the empty hallway. The walls and pillars were all maroon red. She saw to her right was the bright full moon shining. It was beautiful to see but she knew she had to move on. 'Hello? Is anyone there?' The hallway seemed to go on forever as it seemed to go on in pitch black darkness.
'Hello? Can you hear me?' A voice suddenly called out.
Sakura quickly put her attention to the pitch black darkness. She started running and as she ran it seemed that she hasn't gone further nor has she gone nearer as the repetitive view of the hallway seemed to go on and on. She then saw a figure emerge from the darkness and in no time stopped face to face with her very own self. 'You are …'
They both suddenly collapsed after a moment of seeing each other.
- - - - - -
She twitched a little … and went back to her still state.
- - - - - -
Yuko sensed something.
'What is it?' Keroberos said.
'Both Sakura has faced each other.'
Everyone has now put their whole attention into Yuko as they listened further.
'They both collapsed upon seeing each other but they're now in a state of temporary sleep until we wake them both up.'
'But how?' Syaoran (TC) said.
'We can get there by Mokona's teleportal snap but something seems to block teleportal access to the place and can only be broken once we find all five pieces.'
'Five pieces of what?' Yue said.
'All five pieces of the Crossover Petals.'
