LAST, TIME..... Slowly Sakura opens her eyes. ''Urrr......What was that.'' She slowly tries to get up off the ground but stops suddenly. In the centre of the room, she sees a figure in shadow. It quickly raises a sword and comes silently towards Sakura. ''Huh, what is that?'' Sakura exclaims. But before she has any time to find out, the figure raises its sword and points it towards Sakura's chest. ''Now....for my revenge....'' __________________________________________________________________ ____________________________

Sakura's eyes widen in horror, as she feels the cold metal blade point towards her. Two cold, blue eyes seem to stare out, from the shadow that resembles a human figure. ''You won't deceive me again.....This time you shall die.... before you have the chance.....'' Suddenly the jewel behind the figure starts to glow a deep, fiery red. A shrill shriek echoes through the air, as the figure collapses to the ground in pain. ''Ahhhhhhh.....no more..... Please.....'' Lightning starts to shock the mysterious figure again and again, as they start to howl in agony. Sakura quickly retreats to the far corner of the room, where kero slowly starts to regain consciousness. ''Kero look what is that.....it.......it tried to kill me'' she whispers. Kero rubs his head, before quickly glancing at Sakura and then, at the figure that now lies in a crumpled heap on the floor. It's hand lays lifeless on the ground, still clutching its sword. Sakura slowly approaches it, Kero silently following her.

Bending down to the ground, she now sees a boy around her age. A dark scarlet cape, is tied around his neck by a thin golden chain. His clothes are stained blood red and numerous cuts and bruises are spread across his face.

'' Is he alive,....'' Sakura asks anxiously staring wide-eyed at Kero.

'' I don't know Sakura....but he sort of seems familiar.....like I know him....''

''What do you mean Kero?''

But before Kero has time to answer, a low moan escapes the boy's throat. Slowly he tries to get up, but collapses again in pain. Sakura cautiously backs away, grasping her wand tightly.

'' You're not the one...'' a voice echoes across the room.

Sakura now sees him gasping for breath, leaning heavily against her bed. His hands are covered in dark red blood, as he desperately tries to stop the endless bleeding at his side.

''Wha-wha-what do you mean I'm not the one'' Sakura trembles.

Slowly he raises his eyes to hers, and winces in pain as he tries to talk.

'' You're not her....the one who betrayed me, and trapped me in that cursed jewel, but.....you looked so much......so much like her...''

'' I don't understand.....what are you talking about......'' Sakura says as she backs away towards Kero.

A smile plays across his face, as he begins to slowly limp towards her. Kero suddenly flies towards him blocking his way to Sakura;

''Not a step further, unless you want me to get rough''

He glances at Kero, his smile growing even wider.

''Very well.....whatever you wish'' He says mockingly.

'' Now....'' Kero says '' Who are you and what do you want.....and why do I sense Clow reed's energy''

His eyes grow wider, as he coldly stares at Kero. Softly he says

''That is because I AM Clow Reed.....'' ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Another cliffhanger!
