********

Yelan stomped her foot on the hard stone floor furious.

" HOW DARE SHE LET HERSELF BE KNOWN TO HIM!? H-HOW DARE YUKITO ALLOW IT! HOW DARE YOU ERIOL!" Shouted Yelan.

Eriol smiled.

" With all do respect, if you don't want the girl to travel with Xiao Lang, just pull him away, they've only been training, and still Syaoran hates her guts, he says he hates mixes." Said Eriol.

" If this insident happened, 3 years ago, why am I barely finding out about it!?" She shouted furious.

" We have been training, and Plus Meilin's attraction is getting dangerously strong with Syaoran... don't you think it's time to separate them...just for a little while?" Asked Eriol.

" NO!" She shouted angrily.

" You should be calm, your acting out of character, mother..." Said a voice behind Eriol, Syaoran appeared, 13 years of age and strong.

" Xi-Xiao-Lang!? What are you doing here?" Asked Yelan-Li.

" I heard you people talking about Half Breed, Kinomoto?" Asked Syaoran.

" Sakura is allowed to be herself, as everyone does....... you must know she is one of the lost-"

" Don't say it!" SHouted Yelan Li.

" Huh?"

" .......??" Syaoran looked at Eriol and then at his mother.

" You didn't tell your son yet, Yelan?" Asked Eriol.

" Tell me what?" Asked Syaoran looking at his mother.

" Mother?" Asked Syaoran.

Yelan felt herself growl, Eriol smiled.

" Sakura is a Celestial Dragon..." Said Yelan.

Syaoran stiffened.

" And one of the chosen ones to hold the Clow Cards." Said Eriol.

Syaoran's eyes widened.

" She might get to the cards first.. and they might listen, you might loose them to her... so you must train hard." She said her voice growling.

" ....She's 3 years younger than I am." Syaoran said.

" ....Yes I know..." Said Yelan Li.

" ......What is it with you and keeping secrets mother?" Asked Syaoaran. Yelan-Li faced her son.

" Xiao-lang looked at him and sighed.

" Theres more..." Said Yelan Li.

" ....More?" Asked Syaoran.

" Theres been a new set of cards.." Said Eriol.

" New set? You mean the Clow Cards aren't the only ones out there?" Asked Syaoran.

" No theres more... but these cards rest within people... and it can only be taken out by a couple..." Said Eriol smiling.

" So? What does that have to do with it? I'll take meilin along." Said Li.

Yelan shook with anger.



" It's not that simple, Xiao-Lang." Said Yelan walking to her son.

" You see..... there are 5 rules that you must have in order to have the cards, 4 by which have to be a must have." Said Yelan.

" Rules? For capturing these mystery cards?" Asked Syaoran.

" Yes.." Said Yelan.

" What are the five rules?" Asked Syaoaran.

" First rule..." Said Eriol walking to Syaoran.

" Your partner MUST have magical powers... even though Meilin is of your bloodline, she has no magic within her..... not a drop." Said Eriol.

Syaoaran cursed in his mind.

" Second rule..." He said without expecting him to protest.

" The partner must be at an age difference..." Said Eriol smiling. Syaoaran knew what he was getting at.

" Third... your partner MUST NOT be family, therefor, it eliminates EVERYONE that you or your mother has thought within the LI-clan." Eriol said circling him.

" 4rth?" Asked Syaoran.

" ......Your partner must be female..."

" And fifth?" Asked Syaoran.

" ....Hmph..... your not ready for that rule yet, right now you should choose on your partner and head off to the search... i'll tell you the 5th rule when your ready.." Said Eriol but then felt himself smile.

" Either that or you'll learn the rule yourself." He spoke in a chuckle. " In a few years or so..."

Sakura was walking down the halls of the castle, her necklace bouncing off her chest as she walked.

" Sakura what are you going to do?" Asked Yukito curiously.

" To train, will you come or not?" Asked Sakura in an angered tone.

" You shouldn't take what Master Li said so seriously." Said Yukito. Tears stung in her eyes.

" Well I take things very seriously.... especially when my mother is called easy." She said in an angry tone.

A body appeared behind her.

" ......" Yukito looked at Eriol who had came up behind Sakura touching her shoulder.

" EEek!" She shouted jumping. Eriol laughed as this happened.

" That was mean Hiiragisawa-kun!" She shouted angry.

" Come with me.. I have a surprise for you." Said Eriol.

he took her hand leading her to the room dissapearing and reapearing infront of Queen Yelan-Li. Sakura bent over, blushing full blast.

Yelan Li walked upto, taking her face making her face her. Her Green eyes facing her.

Yelan grunted.

" ....... You are a celestial Child....." Said Yelan Li her anger showing. " You may be one... but your still a mix... and our servant, and as such.. you will obey my rules without hesitation." Said Yelan Li. Sakura nodded.

" ....Yes Mistress.." Said Sakura.

" You will be paired.... with my son... but before that... you will be flogged 5 times as a warning." Said Yelan. Syaorans smirk fadded when he heard the flogging part.

" You will be flogged twice a day until I think it's enough.." Said Yelan Li.

Sakura flinched and nodded.

' Five times!?' He thought.

" .......As for you Yukito... you will be flogged twice for letting your heart over my authority... becasue of you she was known to my son.." Said Yelan.

Syaoaran saw Sakura shake her head.

" You can;t do that! It wasn't Yukito's fault the truth was let out, he took me away before my form showed, he tried hard in making me stay hidden, with your orders!" She shouted at Yelan Li.

" How rude of you child!" Shouted Yelan slapping her.

" You will be flogged 6 times for that." Said Yelan talking to Sakura.

" Don't punish Yukito!" Shouted Sakura tears straeming out.

" .....Hmmm what do you suggest?" Asked Eriol smiling.

" ......Give me double the punishment..." Said Sakura weakly.

" In exchange for yukito."

Syaoaran couldn't believe his ears.

" Sakura...." Yukito murmured.

" 12 times.... you'd go though.. to get flogged just so Yukito wont be punished this time?" Asked Yelan smiling widely.

Sakura smiled.

" ....Very well..." She said, Syaoran looked at his mother in utter shock.

" ....for what happened three years ago?" Syaoaarn murmured shocked and confused as guards came in and took Sakura off.

" ......mother......" He said soundly as they carried her off roghly into the dungeron room.

" MOTHER!" Shouted Syaoran looking at her. Yelan turned to her soon.

" Don't be so bloody cruel! She's only 10 years old! She'll die from all that flogging!" Shouted Syaoran.

" ........ So has she gotten to you allready?" Asked Yelan-Li.

" No... but .. mother your being too cruel.." Said Syaoran.

" Even for the undeserving.. you shold always have some compassion..." Said Syaoran.

" ....hmph...." She said then turned to one of the servants.

" Tell them to only flog her 10 times.." Said Yelan.

" ...Mother!?"

" All right!" She shouted.

" ....Only 3..." Said Yelan Li.

" ......." Syaoaran gave his mother a look.

" Li saved this girl so you could look after her, not punish her, you have no right...." Said Eriol.

" I am her master-"

" You are nothing of the sort, She is Naideshiko's daughter, princess of the skies... which makes her a princess. mix be what it may." Said Eriol his angered eyes glaring at Yelan-Li.

Tomoyo gasped walking hearing this, Eriol heard and turned.

" Master you said you wouldn't tell about Saukura-chan." Said Tomoyo.

" ....?..." Syaoarn looked at Eriol.

' How much are they all hiding from me... is Knomoto really this important?' He thought.

" .... She will not be flogged at all, it was my fault Xiao-lang knows about her... if you want to keep my kingdom allied, you will never hurt her again.." Said Eriol. Yelan-li growled at Eriol but then bent her head down.

" As you wish... Hiragizawa..." Said Yelan-li. Eriol turned to Li.

" You better run to stop her if you want to save her from being flogged even more, go!"

Li turned and ran off.

Yelan smiled gently.

" Please forgive my soldiers.. they didn't know what washappening.. you wont mind a few scars on ehr back from the hit, now will you?" She asked evily.

They threw Sakura on the floor roughly, a bit of blood spilling form her mouth. Li was breathing heavily, reaching to her and dragging her up. She squeaked a bit form the pain, her back bleeding heavily.

" ......Come here you idiot..." Said Li dragging her. She fell against him breathing heavily.

" Yukito?" She asked her vision hazed as she let her eyes open wide. Syaoran went pale looking at her, if possible purple looking at the little girl infront of him.

" ......Ki-kinomoto..." Said Syaoaran taking her by the shoulders looking at her.

" Your .....eyes.." He said getting a good look at her. She was dizzy, blood comming gently out of her mouth.

***Flashback***

" Do you remember how to others, little brother?" Asked one of Li's sisters.

" Yes!" Shouted Li as a little boy, Meilin was sitting there sobbing over her broken ankle.

" Well?" She ased the youngest one looking at him.

Li scowled looking at Meilin. He closed his eyes and chanted a little incantation that his sisters had taught him.

" ' Within my heart, binded to your soul...

is a family chant, centuries old...

I lent my heart..unto yours...

taking your pain.. sharing your soul.

We are as one for One hours time... for now, we are as one....

My heart is yours... and your heart is mine..."

And with that he kissed her lips gently, healing her fully.

** End Flashback**

Syaoran blushed remebering the incantation knowing what he had to do.

' Her breathing is deep.....' Thought Syaoaran seeing a lot of blood spilt.

'....My mother tried to have her killed...' He thought looking ot the guards angry.

" You knew.." He said angry, he then looked at Sakura.

" Li...." She said weakly looking at him, tears in her eyes.

" I lost..too much blood..." She said weakly falling back.

Syaaran laughed sourly.

" Your not going to die, idiot..." He said as he leaned down touching his forehead with hers, a dark blush on his cheeks.

" Now stay still, and close your eyes.." He said.

She blushed.

" W-why?"

" Just do it! You wanna die here!?" He shouted his blush darker.

She shook her head.

" ......Allright..." He said.

His little maturing horn began to grow slowly, his eyes closed as the bright white glow came.

" Within my heart.... binded to your soul...." He chated then was shocked to find her lips moving along with his her eyes closed.

' She knew the incantation?' He thought and blushed harder.

" Is a family chant centuries old.."

' Is a family chant centuries old..'

He chanted as she murmured, a tear gliding out of her closed eyes.

" I lent my heart, unto yours.... Taking your pain... sharing your soul..."

' I lent my heart, unto yours.... Taking your pain... sharing your soul...' she mimicked her eyes closed more tears comming out.

She felt his breath mingling with hers as she whispered it. Was it really this hard on her? This strange? To have him of all people, heal her... Why was Li here? Him.... instead of Yukito?

Tears....

" We are as one for One hours time... for now, we are as one...."

' We are as one for One hours time... for now, we are as one' she whispered.. as his lips almost touched hers. She felt herself blush.

" My heart is yours... and your heart is mine.. "

' My heart is yours... and you heart is mine...'

He tied his lips to hers gently in a innocent kiss, he felt his heart leap from the little contact, feeling his stomach become ice cold.

She pushed away weakly, her blush hot aswell, her push comming off weak, their lips still connecting. They both felt dizzy, a warm feeling overwhelming them both, it was like flying, beautiful and...such and incredible emotion. Sakura gave out a little moan from the contact, Syaoran couldn't help but groan, kissing on.

Yelan was walking in when he saw both of them, she gasped in fury not only seeing them glow but aswell seeing something very odd.

" ...Oh... I see..." Said Eriol seeing the light emiting form their chests aswell.

" This...can't be..." Said Yealn-Li.

Tomoyo gasped looking at them both, feeling herself blush.

" ....That glow.... that mark... it's the mark of the-"

" STOP IT!" She shouted.

Sakura jumped, their lips giving out a *smack* the feeling loosing itself, leaving only duzziness. Suddenly a pain hit them both. It came from the pit of the stomach and knawed at the sences, making everything hurt. Sakura curled up in a little ball, pain filled whimpers hitting her.

" Oh no..." Said Eriol seeing them.

Tomoyo looked at them both.

" Sakura! Sakura whats wrong!?" She asked.

" ......You idiot.." Said Eriol looking at Yelan-li.

" ......."

" You interrupted them... you know how dangerous that is when dealing with 'them!?'" He shouted.

" ..... That never happened with Meilin.." Said Yelan-li.

" Thats because mMeilin isn't-"

" ...... " Yelan glared at him making him stop.

" It must be a glitch... That Kinomoto girl can't be My Xiao-langs other half... she's a halfbreed!" Shouted Yelan.

" ..... Souls don't choose what form they take... Just be happy his other half wasn't male.." Said Eriol.

Yelan grimaced.

" I don't see why we have to pair them up... I wanted Xiao-lang to be with Meilin.... she would learn his ways-"

"... She allready has.. and nothing has changed..." Said Eriol looking at Yelan-li.

" Even though Meilin is a loved family member, but thats all she is... it's wrong in anyway for them to be engaged..." Said Erio then faced Sakura.

" She is a decendant..... but from a different clan.. one with greater power... one as great as your sons.. but still hidden." Said Eriol looking at Yelan.

" Let him stay with her, while he wants... while she allows it.. You see. This way... you'll have double the power-willingly." Eriol said.

" Willingly?" Asked Yelan looking at her son.

" Yes..." Said Eriol in a vexed sigh.

" How so?" Asked Yelan.

" You don't want your daughters to hate you do you?" He asked.

Yelan flinched.

" You know they love Sakura... the only reason most of them left was beacause they didn't want to see how poorly you treated her... you know they disaprove of it." Said Eriol.

Yelan shook with annoyance.

" I don't see why they can't just agree.." She huffed.

" Becasue Yelan... you see... they fell inlove with men that would make them halfbreeds aswell.." Said Eriol.

.....

" WHAT!?"

Tomoyo helped Sakura's shaking body up.

" W-what was that?" Asked Sakura shakily.

" .....Oh that? You two opened up your bodies fully... meaning spiritually you left yourself wide open...ehehe... both of you merged.." Said Tomoyo.

Sakura groaned getting up.

" I thought that only happens with soulmates..." Said Syaoaran groaning.

Tomoyo laughed nervously.

" Ya see I just found out the strangest thing..." Said Tomoyo laughing nervously.

Both Sakura and Syaoran's head shot up looking to Tomoyo.

" Tch-WHAT!?" They both shouted.

" Well ehehe...." Tomoyo felt a sweat of persperation hit her, she desperately wanted to hide right about now.

" Tomoyo.. don't tell us.." They both said afraid.

" ...Well, ehehehe... I guess you guys know..."

" M-mom don't tell me it's true... it is?"

Yelan burst into tears.

" Yes son....."

" Kinomoto is your other half..."
