Tora held the time card up and examined it. "Humm..."he let out a sigh of wonderment. "What are you going to do?" Sakura asked with a puzzled expression on her face. Tora gave her no reply he only concentrated on the now glowing card.

"What's he doing?" Sakura whispered into Syaoran's ear. Syaoran only shrugged watching Tora work his magic in wonderment.

"There!" Tora exclaimed he handed the card back to Syaoran, he stared down at the glowing card he now held. "Nothings happened." Sakura stated shattering the silence. "No." Syaoran looked up and out the frost covered window, "Something did." The delicate frost bitten snow flakes the hung in the air frozen in time like a back drop for a Christmas play. The son was peeking over the hills casting it's radiant warm light on all of Hong Kong. Everything stood still, nothing except for the Card Captors and the Guardians could see the beauty laid out before them that time had preserved like one gigantic photograph.

"Were ready now." Tora stared out the window, pure determination painted on his round furry face.

Sakura sat up and stepped over to her closet to grab her coat. "Syaoran?" He looked over at the angel who called his name. "Get your coat or you'll be cold for our whole trip." She told him with a gentle smile.

"I'm just going to change, I really don't feel like wearing my uniform the entire time." Syaoran reached up and loosed the tie that hung around his neck. He turned and walked out of the room followed by Tora.

"Good Idea!" Sakura said to the now empty room. Sakura began changing when she smelt breakfast, she took a deep breath in. 'Syaoran's place always smells so wonderful whenever somebody cooks. Maybe it just seem that way because I'm so near the kitchen that I can smell everything. I'm really starting to get hungry.' Sakura mouth began to water and her stomach let out a tiny grumble at the thought of a huge breakfast waiting in the next room over. She took in the sent of omelets, breakfast crassant and hash browns cooking. 'At least Tora's not making us leave without a good meal.' Sakura's looked once more into the full lengthen mirror. "Perfect!" He voice rang out ecstatically.

"Sakura?" Sakura knocked softly on the door. "Breakfast is ready."

"I'll be right out!" She smiled into the mirror and unruffled the creases in her skirt. The smooth bottle green material complimented her beautiful, yet indescribable eyes making them a deep color bold color, the whirlpools Syaoran loved to get lost in. 'I love Syaoran so much. Maybe someday we'll end up like Yamazaki and Chiharu, married.' She let out a happy sigh and grabbed her coat heading for the dinning room.

Sakura sat her self across from Kero and Tora who were literally scarfing down food. Syaoran sat a heaping plate of food in front of her and sat down in the seat next to her to eat his breakfast too. Sakura gapped at the food it looked so delicious. "Thank you Syaoran." She pecked his cheek. "Your welcome." He blushed a deep ruby hue.

"Tora? Where are we going exactly?" Sakura asked changing her view from Syaoran's blushing face to Tora's stuffed one. [A. N. stuffed with food, not stuffed animal...all though...*laughs*] Tora looked up at her with a mouth full of food he swallowed the huge lump of breakfast and answered her. "It's really not that far away from here. It's near the lake."

"We were just there." Syaoran took a break from eating long enough to join the conversation.
"She wasn't there yesterday--or the porthole wasn't rather." Tora rolled off the sentence nonchalantly.

"Porthole?! You mean we have to go in another dimension?!" Sakura's eyes widened in the fear of unknown.

"No just another place in the world." Tora said lightly as if travailing through portholes were normal every day things. "And where is this?" Syaoran leaned down face to face with his partner in crime, Tora.

"Well, you see, we, Kero and I, we don't exactly know where it goes..." Tora hid behind a clueless Kero knowing full well that he had struck one of Syaoran's many nerves.

"What do you mean you don't know where it goes!!? You said you knew right where Tennotsukai was!!" Syaoran blew his top, flames crackled in his furious eyes. "You said you knew!!" He repeated anger growing in his voice. He slammed his fist down on the table top causing everything to shake on it.

"I do!" Tora yelped in panic.

"Where!?" Syaoran demanded of the little quivering winged tiger.

"Through the porthole." He offered reluctantly. Syaoran's eyes glazed over and his brow wrinkled in frustration, the anger was boiling it would only be a matter of moments before Syaoran went on a rampage. Tora knew.

"Syaoran, buddy, old pal! Calm down, your not mad you only think you are." Tora patted Syaoran's clenched fist his knuckles were glowing white. "Remember this isn't the time ti kill of your own Guardian's" Tora sweat dropped and let out a nervous laugh. "Sakura, a little help?" Tora asked with pleading eyes.

"Syaoran..." She grabbed his arm, he looked over at her the anger faded slowly from his face. "At least we know how to get to her." Her reassuring words had soothed the savage wolf [^^] for now.

"I think somebody owes me an apology!" Tora tapped Syaoran's hand his confidence now regained.

"Somebody pass the crasants!" Kero asked oblivious to the situation that had just unfolded before him.

"Kero your hopeless." Sakura laughed at her confused childhood friend and handed him the last crassant.

"Hurry up Kero!! We need to get going!" Tora dashed over and began shoving the food in his fellow guardian's mouth. Kero swallowed the food as quickly as he could. Syaoran slowly stood up and stretched then walked to the door and slipped on his shoes and coat. Tora looked up and flew over to his side followed by Sakura and Kero who was busy stuffing the last reminets of breakfast into his mouth.

"So once we go through here, how will we get back?" Syaoran asked standing in front of a large hole in the ice that made a thick frozen layer over the clear water lake. "There will be another opening." Kero assures.

"Your sure this is it?" I don't feel like jumping into freezing cold water for no reason." Sakura peered into the water, all she was deep water, deep freezing cold water.

"Stick your hand in the water if your not too sure about it." Tora told her. She kneeled down hugging her coat close to her with one hand and dipping her other in to the water. It swirled and rippled around her finger and opened up a load howling wind blasted up blowing strands of Sakura's hair back it was followed by a pillar of light shooting skyward. Sakura feel backwards into Syaoran's arms shocked, she pilled her hand out of the water and it turned back into the dark icy water.

"Lets go!" She tried to sound confident but reached back for Syaoran's reassuring grip on her cool hand.

"I really don't want to do this! Can't we just take a plane to where this leads?" Sakura asked, fear rising her voice.

"WE could if we even knew where it led to." Tora looked over at Sakura who was shaking, in fear or from the cold he wasn't quit sure. Syaoran who was quiet ever since they had left his house let go of Sakura trembling fingers and crouched down by the hole. His eyes had a pained look in them, he plunged his palm downward into the water, it separated, reacting for him the same way it did to Sakura.

"Syaoran?" Sakura came up behind him and gripped his shoulders. "Sakura if you don't want to go you don't have to, I can do this alone." 'I don't want to though, I need you with me Sakura.'
To Sakura Syaoran's whole demeanor had changed. 'what's wrong with him? Why is he saying he doesn't need me? This is just like when we were capturing cards back in fourth grade. We were getting along so good too.' Kero pulled Sakura out of her troubled thoughts with a small yank of her hair. She blinked a few times trying to focused then finally realized that Syaoran had already disappeared through the hole.

"Our turn Sakura." Kero hovered over the hole. "Right!" Sakura closed her eyes and leaped into nothingness, a swirl of bright light swallowed her up.

"Syaoran?!!" Sakura yelled out when the light let her go. "Sakura, right here." Syaoran said calmly and grabbed her form behind.

"Syaoran we're back in your apartment?" Sakura looked around at the familiar setting. "I don't understand it. Kero and I would have known if she was here. Tennotsukai isn't that hard to miss. Right Kero? ...Kero?" Tora turned to find his comrade. Kero was in the kitchen stuffing cake into his mouth. Tora shook his head in disapproval. "What?! Travailing through those things works up an appetite!" Kero tried to defend himself.

"I'll be right back you guys." Sakura headed towards her room.

"Tora, I don't get it. What was wrong? That was the right porthole, right?" Syaoran sat down in an arm chair and let out an exasperated sigh.

"It was supposed to be." Tora sat on Syaoran's knee and let out the same sigh Syaoran had just earlier. "I'm tired," Syaoran stated out of the blue. He could feel his eyelids growing heavy. 'Seeing that we got nowhere today I might as well make good use of the time home and sleep.' Syaoran got ready to close his eyes and drift off.

"Um, Syaoran? Come here!!" Sakura screamed from the other room. Syaoran threw a slightly annoyed look in no general direction and sat up and slowly drug himself down the hall towards Sakura's room, he saw her standing in the door frame. "What is it?" He asked when he finally reached her, he lazily leaned up against the door. "Look." She pointed, Syaoran rased his head and followed the path her finger made with is gaze. His eyes settled upon a figure nestled deep within Sakura's bed sheets.

"Who or what is in my bed?! Go find out. please Syaoran?!" Sakura gave him a soft shove towards the bed. Syaoran walked cautiously towards the sleeping figure, he pulled the bed sheets down just enough to see the person's face. He stared down at the familiar features. Her beautiful eyes were sealed shut as she slept, dreaming. Syaoran held himself back from reaching down and running his fingers through the soft silky smoothness of hair that cascaded over her face. Her lips showed a rich crimson color against the ghost white sheets she laid in. Syaoran's emotions went confused, He felt himself smile but why? 'This isn't her it couldn't be. How could it possibly be when she's...' Syaoran looked back at Sakura her eyes looked into his, questioning.

'Who could it possibly be. It's not anybody of a threat to us Syaoran wouldn't sit there if it was, Why is he smiling? Maybe it's Tennotsukai? It's obviously somebody he cares deeply about, he has that rare look in his eyes...What if he's in love?'
Sakura shook her head 'He couldn't be he said he loved me.' Sakura felt like her world would shatter at the slightest thought of losing him to somebody else.

"Sakura come here please." Syaoran reached his hand out to her, she took it when she had walked close enough to reach him. "Tell me who you see so I know that I'm not insane." Syaoran motioned to the bed. Sakura came closer to the bed and looked down at the sleeping body. She let out a quick gasp and stumbled backwards Syaoran caught her in his arms before she went crashing to the hard wood floor.

"Syaoran!" She panicked, "It's, it's me!!"
