That night Sakura and Syaoran woke up at the same time from a weird aura
"It's a Clow card!" Sakura said as she jumped out of bed and got out her staff
Syaoran and Sakura got on her staff and flew out the window
They quickly caught up with the aura
"Its that guy again!" she said
The mysterious person was standing on lamp post
He lifted his hand
Suddenly the wings off her staff disappeared and the card flew into his hand
"AAHH!" Sakura screamed as they fell from the air
"Wind god DESEND" Syaoran called and caught them just before they hit the ground
Syaoran flinched and fell on his knees
"Syaoran-kun!"
"I'm fine I'm just not at full strength yet" he said with a fake smile
"Look what we have here" he said looking at Syaoran
"You're still alive"
Sakura stood in font of Syaoran holding her staff
"Leave him alone" she said angrily
"Last time we met he wasn't with you; you were begging me to tell you if he was dead, I was almost sure that we would be"
"Syaoran-kun I-" Sakura said trying to explain herself
"I know" Syaoran said slowly getting back to his feet and leaning on his sword
"It's alright, just don't go alone again ok?"
Sakura smiled and nodded
She turned to the mysterious person again
"Give me back Mr. Clow's cards!"
"I thought I was doing you a favour taking them off your hands, Y'know what happens when you collect them all don't you?"
Syaoran's eyes widened
"DON'T SAY IT!" Syaoran shouted at him
"What?" Sakura asked
"You'll-"
"SHUT UP!"
Syaoran tried to attack but he didn't have enough energy
"You'll have to say goodbye to your friend and both him and the Clow cards will return to the book"
"What?" Sakura said in shock
"Sakura-"
Syaoran was cut off by sakura hugging him tightly
"...I don't want you to go"
"We had so much fun together...life just wouldn't be the same if you weren't in it"
She said crying
Syaoran put his arms around sakura
"I know" he said sadly but he knew there was nothing he could do about it
Sakura looked up the sky suddenly
"The Clow card"
It started to get darker and darker until the only visible things were
Syaoran, herself and the mysterious person
"It's the dark and light card" Syaoran said to Sakura
"A Perfect time for me to be here"
"Dark...and light?"
"It's the last cards"
"No way..."
Sakura said with tears in her eyes
The mysterious person jumped down of the lamp post and got closer too them
"Give Sakura back the cards!" Syaoran said angrily
"No I don't think I will" the man said with an evil smile
"I SAID GIVE THEM BACK" Syaoran picked up his sword and started swinging it at the man,
He was so quick Syaoran couldn't hit him
Syaoran fell down from exhaustion, the man picked him up by the collar of his cloths, he was quite a bit taller then Syaoran
"SYAORAN-KUN!" Sakura shouted
"Well you have a bad temper don't you"
Syaoran struggled but wasn't strong enough to break free
"Still injured from are last encounter I see"
"You should learn to control your temper before you take on things you can handle"
He lifted his hand and it began to glow red
"POWER"
Sakura swung her fist and just barely missed the mysterious man
He dropped Syaoran and jumped back a few steps
"Don't touch him!" She said angrier now then she had ever been
"ARROW" Her staff turned into and arrow and she started firing
Countless arrows at him
She stopped after he was far away from them
Sakura ran up to Syaoran
"Daijoubu Syaoran-Kun?"
"I'm fi-ne"
"Don't lie!" she held him on her lap
"You still healing...Don't do stupid things like that ok?"
Syaoran smiled lightly and nodded
She got up and lied him down,
It got darker
"Sakura you have to seel the card" Syaoran said huskily
"But-"
"You're the Cardcaptor"
Sakura held up her staff
"Return to the guise that
You were meant to be in
CLOW CARD!"
She tapped her staff but nothing happened
"Why didn't it work?" she turned and asked Syaoran
"Because your heart doesn't want to seel it"
"What?" She turned back again
"The Clow cards can feel emotion; they won't let you do something you don't want to do"
"...You can't seel that card until you truly want to"
"Don't listen too him sakura-Chan you can seel it if you believe in your light!" Syaoran shouted
"If you want Mr. Clow's card so much why don't you seel it?" Sakura said to the mysterious person
"I haven't the ability to seel I wasn't chosen"
"Yeah, Just the ability to steal them" Syaoran answered snidely
"You really don't know when to shut up do you?"
He threatened, Syaoran ignored the threat
"Sakura-Chan concentrate on the light inside you"
Sakura closed her eyes
Sakura appeared in front of a tall slender woman with black hair and black cloths
"Are you the dark?"
She nodded
Sakura hesitantly raised her staff but didn't say the words,
She hung her head
"What's wrong?" The dark said lifting up sakura's head
"I can't do it" she said sadly
"Why not?"
"Because if I do someone very precious to me will disappear"
"Believe in your light"
Sakura looked at the woman
"And your heart"
Sakura lifted her staff once more
"Return to the guise that
You were meant to be in
CLOW CARD!"
Suddenly there was a flash of light
And two cards appeared in sakura's hands
'The dark' and 'The light'
The place lit up again
Sakura turned around to see Syaoran was fading away
"SYAORAN-KUN!" She cried
She ran up to him and kneeled down next to him
"Sakura-chan…"
Sakura wrapped her arms around Syaoran and held him tightly
"Syaoran-kun...I couldn't imagine my life without you in it...that's what makes this so hard" she cried
Syaoran put his arms around Sakura
"Aishiteru..." He whispered in her ear before he disappeared
"SYAORAN-KUN"
"Watashi mo aishite imasu" she cried as she knew he was gone
A hand touched her shoulder, it was a woman in white with long flowing white hair
"Don't cry little girl...remember to believe in your heart and your light"
The cards floated out of her pockets and circled around her
And started to disappear along with the cards the mysterious person's cards
"NO!" Sakura cried
"The book it's in my drawer at home"
Sakura jumped to her feet
She turned to where the man was
But he was gone
"Wha..?" she stopped and thought for a few seconds then took of for her house
She was quite far away and since she had no staff or Clow cards she had to run all the way home
Once she got to her house she was faced with the task of getting in without her brother or father hearing her
She opened the door quietly and snuck up stairs as quietly as she could and into her room.
She ran over to her drawer and pulled it open
It was empty
Sakura's eyes watered, she sloped over to her bed
And fell down onto it, She started crying into her for arms
Something floated out of her pocket and tapped of the floor,
It was the was the only card left in her deck,
The nameless card
But Sakura didn't realise it fell out of her pocket
The next morning Sakura was walking down the street early in the morning, she trailed down the road with tears streaming down her face
She's been crying for what seemed like forever
"Sakura?" A female voice said
Sakura turned around slowly to face her friend Rika
"Are you ok did you hurt yourself?"
"No...I'm fine"
"But you're crying"
Sakura tried to keep it together
"..Oh Rika!"
She started sobbing into her own hands
"I'm sorry for crying"
"It's ok" Rika said hugging her friend
"..Rika you're seeing someone that you can't see often aren't you?"
Rika nodded
"Do you get sad when you can't seem him? Do you feel like crying?"
"You can't see someone you love is that why you're crying"
"I won't see him ever again" she cried
"Is that it?" she said sadly
"I can see the person I love allot but I can't talk to them"
"Why?" Sakura asked
"His work" Rika said sadly
"...Don't you get lonely?"
"Yes I suppose I do but in the end I still love him"
"I can't fall out of love just because I can't see him"
"Do you think you'll stop loving your special person if you can't see him?
"No never!" Sakura said
"Well there's your answer"
"Thank you Rika! I have to go now sayonara"
Rika smiled and waved
Sakura ran to her house
"Rika is right no matter what I still love Syaoran and I always will even if that means I'll never see him again"
She ran as fast as her legs could carry her into her house and up the stairs and ran in her bedroom and closed the door
She started looking around franticly
"Where is it?"
She searched in drawers and her coat pockets she couldn't find what she was looking for
She sat on her bed
"I guess that's gone too..."
Suddenly there was a glowing light and a card floated into Sakura's hands
Sakura held the card in her hands tightly
"Syaoran...I know my feelings now...even if I never see you again I know I will always love you"
She lied down silently and looked at the card
The next morning she got up for school and skated alongside Touya to her school
"You're unusually quiet"
Sakura put on a fake smile
"Oh I was just thinking about something"
Touya didn't buy it
Soon they pulled up to sakura's school
Sakura waved goodbye to Touya and he cycled away on his bike
As soon as he was out of site sakura ran out of her school yard
And hid behind the wall
She couldn't face all the questions of where Syaoran has gone or why he isn't coming back she especially didn't want to explain the story to Tomoyo
She curled her legs up to her chest and put her arms around them
"I'm going to have to face this sometime"
Sakura buried her head in her arms
The school bell rang and all the students sat down
Mr. Terada started calling the role
"Daidouji Tomoyo"
"Hai!"
"Kinomoto Sakura"
No answer
"Absent" he marked sakura on his book
"Li Syaoran"
No answer
"Absent" he marked Syaoran on his book
Tomoyo looked at the seats of Syaoran and Sakura and began to worry
Sakura was still curled up crying by the school wall
"What am I going to do?"
Suddenly Sakura heard the footsteps of two people getting closer
She raised her head to look,
She saw two young girls,
One with blue hair one with pink
"We know someone who can help you" they said in unison
"W-who are you?"
They lifted sakura up by her arms and carried her to a creepy looking shop, Sakura looked around she was rather scared as the shop looked haunted
"Go on in" they said together as they pushed her in
Sakura stumbled threw the curtains into a Smokey room
The smoke cleared slightly to show a tall thin woman with black hair and red eyes
"She looks a bit like the dark card"
"How may I help you?"
Sakura looked stunned she just stared at the woman
"I'm guessing by your face that you're not familiar with what I do,
I am Yuuko Ichihara I can grant you any wish but it comes with a price equal to what you wished for"
"Any wish?"
Yuuko nodded slowly
"So child what do you wish of me?"
"Recently I lost someone very important to me but he's not exactly not human"
"If he's not human what is he?"
"Well I used to be a Cardcaptor and the person who is special to me was the guardian of the Clow but as soon as I caught all the cards both him and the cards went back in the book and the book disappeared"
"I see so you would like him back but you would also like him to be human?"
"Yes" she nodded
"As I said you will have to pay a price equal to your wish"
Sakura gulped
"Your price is...."
