Hi everybody! Gomen. I'm sorry that it took so long for me too update. I've had writer's block and I was working on 'Love 4rm A Game'. I hope this chapter makes up for the loss.

This is in baby-sweet's favor.

Chapter 7

Another Identity??

Sakura lay in the tree, dreaming about her first crush. At first it was a dream; sort of a reminiscence of the past. But it soon turned in to a nightmare.

Dream

Hitoshi and Sakura ran around in the field playing tag, each running out of breath but each with a smile on their face. Finally Sakura couldn't run anymore and fell down in the tall grass, hiding her from Hitoshi.

Hitoshi who was shorter than the grass ran yelling, " Where are you, Saki!" When all of the sudden he trip over something. That something was Sakura. He landed with his stomach on her back.

" Oww. You're squishing me, Hito!" Sakura squeaked, as he literally knocked the air out of her. " I can't bweathe!"

In the midst of Sakura being breathless, he still manage to tap her on the shoulder and say, " Tag! You're it!" He quickly stood up and ran away from her. By the time Sakura had gotten up, dark clouds had rolled in and in the middle of the field stood the grown-up Hitoshi.

Sakura, too, stood in the field, in her teen form. She was somehow wearing a white slip-shoulder dress with majestic white wings. She stared at Hitoshi on the other side of the field wearing a black cloak and had a dark look in his eyes, which stared at her with great intensity.

" Hi. To. Shi?" Sakura said weakly while trying to reach for him. But in a blink of an eye, he appeared behind Sakura, clutching her arms.

" You will be mine."

He then moved in front of her and all her friends appeared next to him. A sword appeared in his hands and in front of her, he slaughtered each and every one, including Syaoran. As much as she tried to move, her body was frozen and tears fell from her eyes, mixing with the oncoming rain. Soon, Rei appeared also. As Hitoshi was about to chop his head off....

Sakura sat up in a fright with cold sweat lying on her forehead. Softly, she whispered, " Rei..What does this mean?" She put her head in her hands and slowly, her breathing became regular. The thought of her father figure being beheaded just made her want to cry out with all the tears she had.

Slowly in the horizon, the sun started to rise, beginning the new day. Sakura stood on the branch and stared at the sun will it rose. Soon, she realized what it meant. She mouthed the word 'no'. She called Dash and jumped out of the tree. Running in the direction of west; where home was.

Running through the forest she thought to herself, over and over, what the dream/nightmare meant. She dodged branches and little creatures. You will be mine; it rang in her head as many times as she thought about the dream/nightmare.

.: Nothing better happen to them, Uchida, or you will pay. Dearly:. Thought Sakura, with fire in her eyes. .: You will pay. With your life:.

A bush shook. She stopped and called back dash. " Who's there? Show yourself!"

Syaoran's House/Mansion

Dragon lay asleep in his room, dreaming about finding Sakura, while hugging her mask. He spoke in his sleep, smiling. " We found you, Sa. Ku." He groaned and turned over, still hugging the mask with care.

His alarm rang at 7:45 but he turned it off and continued his peaceful dream. But about 10 minutes later, the door opened slowly, revealing a crimson eyed girl in a tank top and capri pants. She tiptoed into his room and stared at him.

.: So cute, my Syao-Syao. I'll surprise him with something I know he'll like:. thought the crimson-eyed beauty.

She moved her face closer to his. Closer. And closer. And closer until it was just centimeters away. Right when she was about to plant it on him, his eyes slowly opened and his smiling face turned in to a face filled with horror.

" AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" he screamed. It was loud enough to wake up the dead. He fell out of the bed, but managed to save the mask and slip it quickly under his bed. Mei Lin crawled on the bed and looked down at Syaoran, who was on the floor, still with a horrified look.

" Stay away! Stay away! EVIL!!" He made a cross with his fingers and closed his eyes shut. He even started to whimper when the others in the house rushed to his room to see what the matter was.

" What happened??" they asked. But when they saw Mei Lin making kissy faces, they all bust out laughing and realized what the evil was: Mei Lin.

"The brave Xiao-Lang scared of Mei Lin the crazy lover of his," said Eriol, chuckling. The others laughed with him.

" This isn't funny," Syaoran said, hiding behind Eriol. He was looking at Mei Lin like she was an evil sorceress or something, which to him, is what she is.

Mei Lin got off the bed and puckered her lips and headed for him. Syaoran called this 'The attack of lips.' She chased him around the room while he scanned his brain for an excuse. He glanced at the clock and it came to him.

He stopped and put his hand out, telling her to stop, which she did. He then pointed to his watch. " Well, look at the time. Gotta get ta school...Later!"

Dragon grabbed some clothes out of the closet and then his backpack and ran to the restroom. He changed at super human speed and rushed out the house. Hopping on his board, he skated to school in record time: 1 minute. It was a 10 minutes trip by board and all you could see was smoke.

Sakura

Out of the bushes, came a little brown fawn white spots. It walked slowly up to her, stopping about a foot away. It then transformed into a little girl with medium length brown hair and big brown eyes. She stood in front of Sakura, wearing a forest green dress and looked about ten. She just stood there and stared at Sakura.

" Who are you, kid?" Sakura asked, as she cocked head. It seemed weird to her that it would just change right in front of her without any precautions and then just stare at her.

" Mistress...We have found you.." the girl said, bowing. She stood up straight and a number animals came out from the shadows and transformed into humans and bowed.

Sakura stared at them with a look of confusion. " What do you mean? I am only Sakura Kinomoto. Mistress Yuki the singer. But that's it."

All the kids/animals came and formed a circle around her, the fawn/girl in front.. She seemed to lead the pack of most likely ten year olds. " You are our Mistress. Mistress Sakura. Our protector. Please, do not leave us again."

Sakura stood there, staring at them. She heard them say a chant and a bright light surrounded her, outlining her body. When it faded, she sat on the ground. She was wearing an emerald green dress with the ends spread out around her. Her head bent, covering her eyes ( anime style) and the upper part of her hair in a white satin ribbon.

She stood up and spread open her arms. " My children. Come to me." They ran to her and hugged her tightly. " I'm back..but.." An image of all her friends and them searching for her flashed across her mind.

" But what Mistress?" one asked curiously. They all stared up at her, wondering what was bothering their mistress.

Sakura sighed and looked into the sky. " My children, I'm glad that my memory is restored and I would love to be here again with you all..but..my friends..They are searching for me.." (Btw..Sakura's thousands of years old for real)

The girl hugged and squeezed her tightly. " You must not go, Mistress. You cannot. Not after we've just found you," she cried. Tears fell from her eyes and she cried uncontrollably.

" Come now, Mika. You must not cry. I have to go and protect my friends. A new evil has come upon us. And I have to get to my friends before anything bad happens. I will come back and you can stay with me..How does that sound, my little ones?"

They hesitated before all nodding. One stepped up and asked, " Mistress..would it be alright if we help you in your venture?" They all nodded vigorously at their mistress, asking her.

Sakura let out a sigh before nodding. " It doesn't seem like you would change your minds, anyhow," she said, looking down on them with soft, gentle eyes.

They all jumped up and down, excited to be reunited with her once again after many, many years. Mika and the other children glowed, each a different color, and when the lights faded, they stood before her with fighting clothes on and weapons in hand.

Then, a light surrounded Sakura, once again, and when it faded, she stood in her regular clothes, only this time, she had a sword, in its sheath, hanging across her back. She looked around and then said, " Let's go."

They transformed back into their animal forms and with Sakura, dashed off towards Tomoeda.

Sorry it was so short. And now you know, Sakura has many identities. The Clow Mistress; Mistress Yuki; and Mistress Sakura. Either way you look at it, she's a mistress. But don't worry...soon there will only be 2.
