Dragons and Cherry blossoms

A/N: Sorry about all the confusion here, well to avoid anymore i'll explain what everything is about for so far.. ( Hopefully I wont confuse anyof you even more! *,*)

Allrighty, anyways, the story so far....

Naideshiko was taken and made un-pure by a demon Dragon. Now technically in the heavens you loose your heavenly powers if you have "sex" ( Thats how I think about it.) So Naideshiko did have a son before, BUT! HE is only Sakura's half brother. ( Ya see, the way they worked up in heaven is that, the greater being takes the essence of the soul from both the mother and father..mix it, and *poof* baby comes out. Thats simple, so no sex in heaven.) Hope this isn't confusing..but you see, Naideshiko and Fujitaka( Papa) wanted another child, but the Naideshiko was stolen and was taken by force, by then only making a child out of female angel ( Strong pure blood.) And Male demon blood, ( Really strong evil blood.) By which making the ultimate mixed child, Sakura. ( so Fujitaka isn't the father of Sakura, only Naideshiko is, but she still looks like Sakura.)

*Takes in a breath*

Now since Naideshiko was taken in by the demons, and pregnant with a child, managed to excape, they chased after her and killed her, but not before she manage to put only daughter in care of the Li-Clan's demon Dragons. ( These are demons aswell but reptile like demons, not fully darkshadowed, viciously violent ones.)

Anyway, as the years passed by Sakura was trained and given the burden of guarding 'Xiao-Lang' Aka, Li. Now, as she grew the Li-Clans queen, Yelan-li hated Sakura becasue of the death of her husband. ( Remember? The father saved one of his daughters becasue the demons were after the new infant his daughter was holding.)

*Breathes a little, then continues.*

As the years fly by Sakura will soon find out the real truth and will eventually know that she has a brother of pure angel blood! (Gasp!) Teheh, I mean it's not like you guys wouldn't of guessed about Touya being in the fic, I mean whats a CC's fic without Touya?! Anyways, about the whole Ayumi and Lance thing. Lance Is a little playboy, and one of my characters. Ya see he tells any girl with green eyes that shes his other half Cuz,well, he's obsessed with the Princess of the skies. ( Thats what got him kicked out of heaven in the first place, right? Obsession is forbidden up in heaven. It's a sin, bad, bad sin.) Yiu and her husband were just put as background on Ayumi. ( If you haven't guessed, Yiu and Kanno are Ayumi's parents. Long ago...) Anyway, Lance betrayed the heavens and gave Ayumi another life, so by then making Lance loose his immortality and give up his powers as an angel, plus having his obssession as a sin was forced to live on earth as punishment for his childish acts and way of being. So he grew with Ayumi as his friend, but he flirted with all the green eyed girls but her. Since the heavens saw Ayumi's attachment with Lance they decided to grant her a power, she would bear the powers of the Clow Books protector along with the legendary quardians that represented the moon and sun on the books cover, Cereberus(sun) and Yue(moon). She would guards Sakura along with them until all card were taken in and put back in their place.

*Phew..*

Ok lesse, hmmm, about the Necklace that Naideshiko gave Sakura. If I explained it ok, the necklace was suppose to burst into flames somehow, and the baby new born white Celestail dragon. ( The reincarnation of Ayumi when she killed herself to give the Book of Clow to Sakura. )

Ok..NOW, The other necklace that commands the cards and captures them, Magically appears on her neck right after the released the cards, but she didn't notice it till she felt the neklaces weight.

And lastly, the question about the necklace before Ayumi was introduced in the fic, ( When Lance kissed Sakura's cheek.) Since even though Lance was banished, his pureness is still there, so Sakura is an angel too, angel kiss angel, so he lifted any spell that Sakura might have had on her, without having to wear her mother necklace to taim the spell.

Allright... I hope I covered everything that you were confused about, if I missed something please tell me so I can explain it, I don't like people being confused, and I feel bad.

" W-Whats happening?" Asked Sakura backing away from the book. Syaoran came to her side as did Lance and so did Meilin.

A little yellow animal popped out of the book, it's eyes opened, it's wings flapping slightly.

" ......????........" Meilin looked at the ball of fluff curiously.

Syaoran hit his head.

" Don't tell me.... don't say it...." Said Syaoran backing away from it.

Lance and Sakura blinked as it flew to Sakura.

" ...Hello...." It said a bit irritated Li's attitude.

Sakura smiled to it.

" Hello, my names Sakura." Said Sakura rather normally seeing the little floating creature.

" Who opened the book?" Asked the animal.

" I did...." Said Sakura looking at the animal. Kero glowed slightly, the book floating to her.

" This is yours then.." Sid Kero looking at her smiling.

" And who just might you be?" Asked Meilin.

It's little chest puffed up happily.

" I am Cereberus, guardian of the ceal and also.. protector of the clow card captor..er-what your name?" Asked Kero facing sakura.

" S-Sakura Kinomoto." Said Sakura cutely blinking.

Kero cleared his throat.

" I am Cereberus, guardia of the seal, and also protector of the Clow Card Captor Sakura." Said Cerberus smiling.

" Kero-chan." Sakura said smiling petting it's head.

" Stop that kid..."

Li fell back.

" YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THE LEGENDARY, FEARLESS, GRAND BEAST CEREBERUS!" Shouted Syaoran disbelieveing.

" Well I AM!" Shouted Kero.

" You can't be you freaking stuffed animal!" Shouted Li.

" Stuffed Animal! Who are you calling stuffed animal!" Shouted kero.

" YOU! THATS WHO!" Shouted Li.

Sakura smiled nervously.

" They seem to be good friends allready." Said Lance sarcastically. Meilin smiled seeing them fight.

" The animal seems to suit it's owner." Said Meilin smiling toward Sakura.

" Small and weak."

Lance glared at Meilin.

" Thats not true. Sakuras a lot stronger than you." Lance said in a serious voice.

" SHE IS NOT!" Shouted Meilin hitting Lance on the head once she jumped high enough to reach him. Sakura couldn't help but giggle. Lance rubbed his head as Sakura walked to kero, taking him in her arms.

Lance pocked at the creatures stomach.

" Chubby thing isn't he?" Asked Lance.

" I don't think it's chubby." Said Sakura looking at it.

" Hey watch it!" Shouted Kero to both of them.

" I'm jus looking!" Said Lance.

The little dragon sniffed at it.

" Don't get any ideas." Said Kero defensively then flying, landing on Sakuras shoulder.

" Come on..." Said Kero. " We have to get out and search around...it would be highly dangerous if there was any cards bussling around." Said Karo.

" ....But the cards are just paper aren't they?" Asked Sakura as she walked out along the dark halls as she continued. " I don't think they could hurt anything." He said.

Kero hit his head in exasperation.

" What!? You mean you don't know?" Asked Kero almost shouting.

" ...Know what?"

Li's eyes narrowed leaning on one of the walls.

" She doesn't know a lot about the cards..." Said Syaoran smiling as he looked at her.

" How could she? Auntie has kept her under lock and key until now. And now she's turned rebellious?....*tsk* how rude." Said Meilin walking next to Li hands on her hips.

" Sakura your not Carcaptor material, why don't you save yourself the trouble and the danger and just let me handle it.

" No you can't do that!" Shouted Kero angrily. Sakura held the card possesively.

Lance looked at Sakura.

" Maybe Li's right for once Sakura.... maybe you should just let him have the burden." Said Lance.

Sakura glared at him.



She looked at her little white dragon and then Kero, she held them both possesively aswell as the book.

" Your not taking any of these!" She shouted as she felt tears come to her eyes.

" Ayumi gave her life for this stupid book! And by the gods i'll capture them and put them back for her sake!" She shouted tears comming out.

Lance looked at her in a gasp.

" You can't bring her back Sakura.... she's dead... all Ayumi is... is that little dragon thing." Said Lance.

Sakura held the baby dragon, it snuggled and licked her cheek gently.

" ....I'll find a way to bring her back." She said gently. Lance's eyes widened slightly, then he closed them and felt himself sigh in defeat after a long time of staring.

" .......allright......." Said Lance. Syaoran looked at him curoiusly.

" .....If you can tell me theres still a way to bring back that little white rat soul back into Ayumi...and make her like she was.... I'll held you throughout your journey....princess." Said Lance.

" There is a way.." Meilin sighed, letting her tongue slip.

Li growled.

" ......Is there?" Lance ordered.

Li glaced at him and then looekd away.

Sakura shot him a hopeful look.

" Li?" She asked hopefully. Li looked away.

" There is..." He finally answered.

" But Sakura's too weak.... not even I have that kind of power." Said Li.

" What do you mean?" Asked Lance and Sakura at the same time.

" Well... You have to capture all 52 of the cards....then by using one of the special cards... " The Create.." you bind your powers and make a new card... the legendary one... called. " The life..." He said and looked away.

" The life?" Asked Lance curiously. Li nodded.

" But ALL the cards have to be captured." Said Li.

Sakura nodded.

" Fine we'll capture them... and your going to help her." Said Kero.

" What are you talking about, Fluff ball? 'My Syaoran' wont help any tramp his father picked up." Said Meilin defensively.

" ...... " Sakura looked away from Meilin shocked by her words.

" Syaoran?" Asked Sakura in shock.

" What? You expect me to defend you? Your not my girlfreind, just my soulmate, what makes you think i'll defend you?" Asked Syaoran.

" You did it before..." She said tears welding up.

" I thought I could get the Clow Book before you..." Said Syaoran.

" ....... " Sakura looked down.

" .....I might get lashed for this..." Said Sakura but then walked to him, and then looked directly into Syaorans eyes.

" I might not be the perfect person for the job like you are Li." She said her eyes locking with his brown ones. Syaoran looked into her green orbs dazed.

" But I know I can be just as good as you could be." She said.

Meilin threw a slap at her, she blocked it, still looking at him.

" It seems that you don't care about us being linked by souls... sharing the same soul and such. So if you don't... I wont either." Said Sakura as she reached her hand and touched his horn. His pupils became small.

" From now on.. me and you are rivals." She said with a determined look, then turned and ran toward the exit.

" Come on Kero, teach me all you know about the cards." Said Sakura leaving Syaoran standing there, his cheeks stragely hot.

' Her eyes......were disgustingly.....'

' Attractive...' He leaned against the wall touching his horn, looking at where she was, his breathing harsh. ' Whats happening? My hearts beating so fast..'

" ?? Syaoran-kun? Whats wrong?" Asked Meilin about to reach for him.

" I told you not to call me that." He said then walked out. Meilin following after him.

Lance smiled as he followed her. ' I saw Syaorans eyes change drastically when he saw the determined look within Sakura......'

He laughed and followed on out in the rain.

' Things are starting to get interesting.' He thought in a smile.
