SAKURA (P.O.V.)

I could not help but shift between the sheets of my bed which was incredibly comfortable and yet I felt totally out of energy, I guess I could have sleep the whole day but the warm sunlight that shone straight to my face or that seemed so, since I was not willing to open my eyes and find out I simply covered my face with the sheet.

It was weird but I felt very comfortable although the muscles of my face seemed somewhat tense like if I had slept on something hard, and I also felt something warm around my shoulders, reluctantly I opened my eyes to find myself lying on a bare torso nicely defined and what was around my shoulders was someone else's arm, as I was about to scream for help to rescue my life when I realized the events of the night before.

It was Syaoran, my Syaoran; his face looked relaxed and did not have that typical frown between his eyebrows I couldn´t help but smile, if I was dreaming I didn´t want to wake up at all.

- Are you done staring at my face?

- Were you awake? – I commented a little bit surprised

-Yes, for about two hours now, but what's the point of getting up if you didn´t? - And there he goes Syaoran Li could not be a day without frowning

With a swift movement, I got out of bed to take some clothes from my closet and locked myself in my bathroom, with new questions that haunted my mind, and my conscience was debating with my indecision and myself on taking a shower or not, but the best conclusion was taking a quick shower because my nerves did not trust the guy outside of my bathroom, if he was the Syaoran Li I knew, a door would be the least of his problems, he could simply take the door down with no effort in case he wanted to come in, so I finished and dressed myself up in a hurry.

Without thinking twice I left my room at the speed of light, I could not see him shirtless and also I couldn´t blush more, I was now a little more aware of a few things so… I can see him later when he is in a more descent status, so I went to look for Tomoyo so I took the lift down to the second floor which was where we shared the movie theater, the huge living room, kitchen, terrace, balcony and the indoor pool.

Indeed there was my best friend, sitting in the room with one hand holding her belly because she was laughing so hard, she seemed to be lacking of air, and in front of her was Kero, Yue and Eriol?

-Eriol! – I squeaked with joy

-And now you decide to get up Sakura? Where´s the kid?

-Kero-I shouted happily as I walked towards him ignoring what he had just said, I jumped to hug him, I had missed him so much, my great friend and advisor.

-It's good to see you too Sakura and it seems that today you´re in such a great mood-Eriol said with a smile as he came to hug me

-Definitely I had not seen her this happy since ... mmmm... I do not know, does Li have something to do with this Sa-ku-ra? - Tomoyo said in rogue tone and started laughing again as before-The poor of Kero was nearly having a heart because you were not coming ... hahahahaha... he was imagining that you ... hahahahaha… and Li ... hahahahaha…

-Hoe? – I couldn´t understand Tomoyo at all

-Good morning Mistress

-Uh ... Ggg ... Goo ... Good morning Yue-the majestic figure of Yue and serious look still intimidate me a little after not seeing him for a while

-Well if you are all done with your erroneous suspicions, I think we need to listen to some explanations don´t you think? Where is the stuffed animal?

-Hjkmlncpajemf ... – I felt Kero struggle in my arms

- What? - I asked looking down at where he was

-Hbioncsoiihwe ...-Kero loosened grip that kept him captive-Ahhh, don´t leave me with no air Sakura jezz… and YOU! YOU brat, I THE GREAT KERBEROS do not owe you any explanation at all

-Stop it, you two, and I think Kero, Yue both of you must explain everything to us right now, I do not understand anything at all and my head will not leave me quiet so. Yue? - I said in a serious tone

In that instant Yue with a snap of his fingers all Sakura cards materialized in front of us in their original form and not in their card disguise, having all the 53 of them in front of me was amazing, it was the first time that I saw them together like this smiling at me, it was something that filled my heart with joy, I smiled wistfully back. How was it possible to forget my faithful friends?

Ignoring everyone in the room, I by inertia and totally unaware of what I was doing I sat on the couch in front of them to contemplate them better, and next to them stand Kero and Yue, my heart ached and my stomach felt uneasy, I was feeling nervous as if what they were going to say was about to change my life but I was ready for it, whatever it was I had to believe in the words Clow told me in my dream "everything will be fine."

And without realizing it, now Tomoyo sat right next to me holding my hand, Syaoran on my left side with a hand on my shoulder and with a half smile to encourage me, and sitting by Tomoyo was Eriol, he only nodded as if saying he was ready too.

I looked at Yue straight in the eye and nodded, I was ready too, he copied my gesture and raised his right hand behind him peered the Light and the Dark.

-Mistress Sakura-they said in unison and bowed-is a real pleasure to see you again, but yet we would like it even more if it was in other circumstances.

-Sakura, as you know everything in this life is a balance, a give and take, and that the fate of the people is written and cannot be changed, except for some people as those with pure hearts, with magic skills or people who choose to ignore what they were "told to do" and risk taking charge of their lives and make their own destiny-said Dark

-Your destiny was written, and since you were born as one of the few people blessed with the red thread of destiny that is so good and true that it would never end, and by the time that your magic was the most powerful of all the universe certain evil forces wanting to change your life plan as they messed up with it for their own pleasure. But because your heart is pure we had the audacity to change those plans for you in order to be happy and we tried to return everything to "normal" back again- continued Light

-Even so as everything is cause and effect, if we changed something for good they´ll attack and they would write something worse and miserable for you and those who are part of your life, and we have come to today, where no matter where we have hidden you or what we change in your life to avoid you something unpleasant, and it had worked but ... – Wind added

-But they have found you again and will not give up. They are about to do something terrible again but now not only to you, they are willing to affect the rest of the world in order to destroy everything and making us to surrender. We have no clue how they have become stronger and with our current level of magic we can no longer protect you Mistress, some of us are so weak if they attack once more some of us will fade-Small said with some sadness and disappointment in her voice

Even without understanding everything, I look at all the cards in front of me and earlier I had not noticed their appearances, because of the thrill I felt of seeing them all together now did notice that some of them shone more than others, and their clothes were a little worn out and dirty, as I closed my eyes, placing a hand on the chest I focused on feeling their auras and I felt that some of them were actually very weak and they barely glowed as they used to do.

Opening my eyes, I saw them staring curious to me in order to see if I understood the seriousness of the matter and in that moment I sat on the edge of the couch to lean forward and take Small in one of my hands to put her at my eyes height, Small was so pale, and worn out that it just saddened me even more, she came over and hug one of my cheeks with her whole body, and my tears started coming out slowly.

I was the card mistress after all I was the one in charge to look after them and protect them rather than the other way around. Why? Wasn´t it supposed to be all peace and quiet? It should be that way since we captured all the cards including The Hope. I felt guilty, how long have been enduring this for me to selfishly unknowingly be happy?

The Flower approached me and gave me a beautiful Nadeshiko flower; she placed her hand in my other cheek and made me look her in the eyes

-Sakura, it is not your fault, and if we do this is because you are our Mistress and we are happy if you are happy, please smile as you usually will do, if not we´ll feel that we have not done our job right- said reassuringly Flower

-But ...- I was silenced with her finger on my lips

-Shhh, trust us and your friends, you have taught us that no matter what happens everything will be fine right? - Continued The Hope

- Who is behind this?-Wonder bitterly Syaoran

- Who's who?-Apparently Tomoyo wonders the same things as I did not understand his question

-We do not know, it is not a particular person, and it constantly changes shape but we just know it is someone who does not want for anything good for our Mistress-Dream commented bowing to Syaoran

-As insightful as usual, I could not expect less from you brat- Kero said but was ignored by all of us with his next question

- Are you sure? How long have you fighting? - Asked Syaoran

-Yes, we are sure, Master Syaoran we can´t explain clearly to you humans but it would be something like about 50 years in your time scale

- WHAAATTT?-Tomoyo and I yelled at the same time

-But we are only 16 years and the boys just turned 17- Tomoyo said very thoughtful

-I guess that Time has something to do with it- Eriol said so peaceful and serene to the point it was scary

Time just nodded but said nothing; nobody made any comment after that it was still too much information to process.

The Erase along with the other cards made a circle around us, they extended their hands in front of us and a blizzard air surrounded us, they were creating a magic field and we heard Yue say:

-Do not let go of your partners hands, the cards are the only ones that know everything and didn´t forget a thing and I Yue along with Kerberos think it is time for everyone of us to find out what happened and when it started. We´ll see how long our spell can last with our actual magic level, even so I still think there might me some memory blackouts that each of us will complete if necessary

Normal (P.O.V.)

At that moment the four teenagers sitting on the couch, along with the guardians, their bodies tensed and their eyes were distant, their pupils from their eyes disappeared and they entered in a trance induced by the magic of the Cards Sakura.

Syaoran P.O.V.

- Please wait, I'll be right away with you- I said trying to make her rethink what she was about to do

-I don´t want to- and with that she jumped in my direction, and she added- I love you

I received Sakura in my arms, I was way too happy, she had not lost her most precious feeling nor I forgot who she was, as she hugged me and rested her arms around my neck I looked the Clock Tower from the theme park it was going back to its normal state again, and those gigantic holes were completely gone as if nothing had happened.

Sakura felt weak so I put her in my shoulders, and in that piggyback position I started to go down the stairs of the tower, I had no idea what happened to the people of the festival, nor I didn´t knew if Tomoyo and Meiling had reappeared, but I hoped so, the last Sakura card " The Hope" has been captured so everything should go back to normal.

After coming down the many stairs from the tower, outside from it with the first sun rays from dawn I could see that our battle outfits were dirty and worn out, but they had endure it and fulfilled Tomoyo´s desire that as long as we wore them we would return safe and sound.

-Hey, brat climb up- Kerberos shouted as he came down to where we were

-Mmmm-I was so tired that I did not care that he was calling me brat, I got on his back after sitting Sakura carefully so she would not fall, and Kerberos began flying again, he took us to Tomoyo´s house in order we could rest without trouble. According to the stuffed toy he said that after we captured Hope, everyone and everything that went missing reappeared and the ones who had no magic at all or weren´t related to the Sakura cards had forgotten everything and believed that the Tomoeda festival was a success and that our play had a wonderful ending.

-Li, Sakura Here ... Syaoran, Kinomoto! – I heard Tomoyo´s and Meiling´s worried voices once we had entered her room through the window along with Kero

-Sakura, sakura… -sniff sniff- is she going to be fine Li? – asked a sobbing Tomoyo

-She will be fine Daidouji, just let her rest, it was a very long day for everyone, so stop crying, everything is over now- I replied kind of rudely but relatively calm down, it was just that I hate when women cry

I laid Sakura down in Tomoyo´s bed, and I sat in a chair nearby the bed and held Sakura´s hand with mine, without even noticing in no longer than two minutes I had already fallen asleep...
