CardCaptors-Temptation
The Roller Coaster of Emotions
By AnimeGamer
[Sakura] Last time on Temptation. I got possesed by the Temptation card, but Li took it out of me and I managed to expel the Temptation card from my room. Just after Li leaves, someone opens my door. But who?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"...Syaoran...my dear Syaoran." Sakura whispered to herself.
Suddenly...the door opens widely.
"Sakura?" Sakura's father came in.
"Dad." Sakura instantly said.
"Sakura, did you go though my library?" Sakura's dad asked.
"No dad, why?" Sakura asked. Her father approached her and grabbed the clow key.
"Sakura...do you know what you just done?" Her dad said.
"Yes dad. I've had the necklace for 6 years." Sakura said. Her father let go of the key as it landed on Sakura's shirt.
"My god..." Her father said as he sat on the bed.
"Father..." Sakura said softly as she sat on the bed.
"How come you didnt tell me? That book is very dangerous. I'm surprised the town isnt in chaos yet." Sakura's dad said.
"I have Syaoran to thank for that."
"Syaoran...? I remember that boy, he was little when his mother and father talked to us. Those were the days..."
"Dad, he has been coming to our house almost every week."
"You mean, that Chinese boy is Syaoran? I knew he looked familer."
"Syaoran, Madison, and Kero are helping me, and we caught almost all the cards." Sakura said, proud of what she has done.
"Well, I guess I should have expected that. Your mother was a great card captor, and she used that very key."
"Really dad? My mother?"
"Yes, by the way, where is Kero?"
Kero opens the drawer.
"Who's calling my name."
"Kero? Is that you? Your that doll Sakura always had around for 6 years?"
"Huh? Sakura, did you tell your -? Oh my god! Your-"
"Father found out." Sakura and Kero said at the same time.
"Man, I was hoping to hide the embarrassment. Im sorry senior Card Master Kinamoto. For keeping all this a secret."
"Card Master?" Sakura repeated.
"Yes, your father is a Card Master."
"I've retired from this though, that is why I thought I had hidden the book away from anyone. Sakura, what cards are left?"
"The Temptation card and the Lust card." Sakura said.
"Well, it's about time your father helped you out. It takes more than yourself, Li, Madison, and Kero. These two cards are very dangerous if your caught under their spells. I got a plan to capture the Temptation card, and it will fall for it for sure. It works everytime."
"So your going to help me out Dad?"
"Yes."
"Thanks dad, I thought your going to be mad at me." Sakura said as she hugged his dad.
"It's my fault I got you stuck in this mess in the first place. Get some sleep now so you'll be ready for what we are about to do." Sakura's dad said as he got up from the bed.
"Good night, my daughter." He said as he closed the door.
"Oh man, I wish I was my former self when I was with him at your age. I was a grand gold dragon. Those were the days. Well, I guess I should get some sleep too. Good night Sakura." Kero said as he closed the drawer.
"Who could've thought..." Sakura said as she fell asleep.
*******************
Sakura came downstairs and saw her dad with a broadsword, almost like that of Li's sword but the blade was much wider.
"Dad??" Sakura said.
"This is the sword I used to capture all the cards along with your mom." Sakura dad said.
"Dad, should I call the others?" Sakura asked.
"All we need is you, me, and Kero." Sakura's dad said.
"Yup. Your looking at the best swordsman in his day. It's too bad that squirt has most likely passed up your dad."
"Syaoran is not a squirt!"
"Says who?"
"Says me!" Sakura yelled.
"Sakura, come on, lets go." Sakura's dad said and left.
*********************
About "X" hours later...(I'll let you guys figure out how long this took)
"Finally. The Temptation Card." Sakura said as she held the card.
"I'm surprised you and Syaoran didnt capture this card by yourselves. The wind spell does the trick for these cards." Sakura's dad sat as he patted her on the back.
"Thanks dad." Sakura looks down on her watch."Oh no! Im going to be late! I'm supposed to meet Syaoran in an half an hour! And it takes me 15 minutes to get ready." Sakura said.
"Well, then we should get to you back home, I'll even drop you off." Sakura's dad said.
"Thanks dad."
*******************
"Sakura!" Li said as he walked over to Sakura.
Sakura only wore a half-moon hairclip, and the rest of her hair went down, instead of it behind tied in a weird but good to look at tie. She had a white dress that looked so bright, you could've swore she had angel wings.
"You look so beautiful." Li said as he suddenly saw Sakura's dad coming from behind her.
"Syaoran Li. If I knew your first name I would have welcomed you more."
"Huh?" Li was puzzled.
"I knew your parents well. How are they?"
"They're fine."
"That's good to hear. I trust you with my daughter now. Dont go reckless like me."
"Huh?" Li again was puzzled. Time seems to go forward a little bit.
"Have a good time you two." Sakura's dad said, waved, and left.
"What just happened?" Li asked Sakura.
"I'll tell you later. C'mon!" Sakura said as she gave her hand to Li, and Li took it and they went off, visiting booths and whatever else. Everyone around them always had a smile whenever they passed by. It seemed as if their aura was so good it rubbed on to others around them.
Finally, it was showtime. Madison was worried.
"I need a drummer! Our drummer broke his arm and he cant play with a cast!" Madison said.
Touya was just enjoying his day, deciding to go to the festival, and just gave a smile to Sakura and Li backstage.
Sakura let out a small sigh of relief. 'He's finally let go of me. After that long talk yesterday.'
Suddenly Madison went up to Touya, and nodded. He then went and looked at the song lyrics, and gave another nod.
"YEAH!!!! I FOUND A DRUMMER!" Madison exclaimed. Suddenly, Li brought Sakura's face to his face.
"Okay Sakura. Are you ready?" Li said dead in the eyes.
"Syaoran...I...I just cant do this." Sakura said looking down.
"Yes you can, you can do this Sakura! Think of all the people who wanted to see you sing." Syaoran said to try to cheer her on.
"But...but...I'm...so nervous..." Sakura said, her hands shaking from the nervousness.
On the stage, their act is called.
"Okay Sakura, lets go." Syaoran said as he took her hand and tried to guide her, but she wouldn't budge.
Madison ran over to them immediately. "Li-kun, plan B." Madison whispered and ran on stage.
'Oh no. Now look at what you got me into Sakura. Well, I just hope this works, I know you can do it.' Li thought to himself.
"At least come on stage Sakura." Li said, Sakura just shaking her head to indicate no.
"Okay..." Syaoran said as he went on stage. Everyone in the crowd was wondering where Sakura was, she is the most popular girl in school.
Instantly the spotlight came on Li. "I'm sorry everyone, Sakura didnt have time to practice onstage and still has stage fright. So I guess i'm going to have to sing. Sakura, just come out on stage, there is nothing to worry about." Li said into the mic, looking at Sakura off-stage.
Instantly, sudden bursts of "You can do it Sakura!" "C'mon Sakura!" "Come on stage Sakura!" Then it melded into a chant, all of them chanting Sakura's name. All that Li did was give his hand to Sakura, Sakura just blushed, she looked at the crowd, and then over to Li again, her cheeks more red than before, and finally she slowly walked on stage. Everyone cheered. Another spotlight came on to Sakura, Eriol brought her a stool and put it next to Li, who also took and sat on a stool. And Sakura just sat there.
"This one is called 'That girl on my mind.' For we all know who i'm talking about." Li said.
Sakura's cheeks were as red as apples by this time.

(Sakura looks away from audience and catches Li's look, and gives Li a look he'd remember for the rest of his life, a light breeze moving Sakura's hair to her left, to the crowd.)

(Song ends, applause)
At the end of the song, Sakura gives Li a hug.
"Thanks Li."
"Now it's your turn." Li said.
"...I...I..." Sakura paused, and looked at the audience, and saw her dad.
"...I'll try my best." Sakura said as she silently cleared her voice.
"Dont worry Sakura, it'll go fine. Your the star tonight, dont forget that." Li said.
Sakura went up to the mic stand as Li cleared the stools.
"Um...this one is written by my Syaoran. It's called It's my life."
Tooi Kono Machi De
(Drum opening, spotlight time on Touya who is doing drums, everyone is clapping their hands to the beat, glowsticks and lighters are waved. Small breeze goes though causing everyone's hair to be whipped to the right.)
([Sakura] Okay Sakura, you only have to hit this first line and then everything will come naturally...)

(Instrumental, Li and Eriol step up, they are both next to each other, even though they are playing different chords, their short haircuts get whipped around by light wind, everyone is surprised that Li can play guitar so well. Sakura gives him a light hug before returning back to the mic stand.)
umareta machi de yume mite kita

(Hits high notes, and every single high note after this, main sound emphases on snare drum.)

(Light cheers as song nears end)
watashi no chikara de susumu hateshinai kono michi o
(Song slows down)
Umm hmm...
(Song ends, loud applause)
Li goes over to Sakura and gives her a big hug, then a big kiss. Everyone on stage and backstage then comes on stage and gets into a big group hug while everyone is cheering and clapping.
"You sing as good as your mother Sakura, you truely do." Sakura's dad says as he walks away. "Take care of her Syaoran, I know I can trust you now."
Touya sees his mom clapping, and she sees him looking at him.
"Always tell Sakura I love her, and that she was great tonight." His mom says before disappearing.
Touya looks over to Sakura, still in the massive group hug.
"I dont think I need to tell her, mom." Touya said.
***********
Li was carrying Sakura in his arms as they finally arrived at her house after visiting 3 parties. They both were literally wrapped in silly string like cocoons.
"Finally." Li said, about to put Sakura down when the door opens.
"So how did it go you two?" Sakura's dad said.
"It went great dad."
"Well, I want both of you to come in." Sakura's dad said seriously.
Both of them went in and Li put Sakura down and they both sat on the couch.
"Well. I have a confession to make to you Sakura. When you hear this, I know you'll be mad at me Sakura, so just hear this." Sakura's dad said seriously.
"Okay dad." Sakura said, listening carefully.
"Your mom is almost excatly like you. Maybe that is the reason Touya is so protective of you.....Sakura, I want to be with you to capture the last card." Sakura's dad said.
"Okay dad. Got it." Sakura said grabbing Li's hand and they both stood up and she started to lead him upstairs.
"Sakura, wait, that is not what I wanted to say." Sakura's dad said seriously. Sakura stopped. (AG: I safely assume he will be talking serious the entire time, okay.)
"Sakura...this is so hard for me to say..." Sakura's dad said.
"It's okay dad. I just hear it tomar--"
"Sakura, I must tell you this. Sakura...you were born because of the Lust card." Sakura's dad said, immediately looking away in shame.
This took the wind out of both Sakura and Syaoran.
'What...what does this mean father?' Sakura thought.
"Sakura, 9 months before you were born, we caught the last card at a price. The lust card managed to use it's spell on your mother and I, and we both...then, because of the spell, when she gave birth to you, she died instantly because of it. I tried to keep the book away, buried the key with your mother. That is why Touya can see your mother's ghost, it's from the residue of that magic spell. Yet, the book had still found you. So I want both of you to be careful when trying to capture this last card, for if it get's it's spell on you, if you......it'll kill you." Sakura's dad said, pausing at certain parts.
Sakura and Syaoran were just frozen there. They couldn't believe what Sakura's dad had just said. Could Sakura...have been a mistake?
--------------------------
Okay, everyone say "oOoOoOo", in 1, 2, 3.
[Everyone] "oOoOoOo"
Like I said in my last part, I just love cliffhangers. I just have to come up with a solution of which why the Clow Book is in Sakura's father's library. I hope you had fun reading CardCaptors: Alternate Universe, and CardCaptors: Temptation up to this point. I only hope you guys feel the same. Well, now a break from this story to fully develop S+S=ME into a short full story. If I can get a hold of some of the japanese eps. Besides that, I'll also work on the next series, which sadly, will be the final, definate series. If you can think of a better group name for my next story though (The S+S=ME, which might get a rename at some point), just say it in your review. Oh wait, I just remembered, I was supposed to show flashbacks from what happened between Li's arrival back and just before CC: Alternate Universe. Oh well, that'll be later on, more for your yearning pleasure.

[Li] Missing something AG...
Oh yeah...but it'll kill the cliffhanger a bit.
[Sakura] Do you want me to call Kid and tell her to kick your arse so hard you'll kiss the moons?
Okay okay, I get your drift...geez.
------------------------------
Earlier that night...
Eriol and Madison were chatting away, seemingly interested in each other. While Sakura and Syaoran were hiding behind the bushes.
"You think they are going to hook up?" Sakura asked.
"Well, depends if they like each other." Li replied.
Suddenly, the two got up and passed by the bushes Sakura and Li were hiding in and out the door. Sakura and Li got up from their crouch position.
"So we got to go to another party now?" Sakura asked. Before Li can asnwer, Eriol and Madison come barging in and start spraying Sakura and Li with silly string.
"Got'cha!" They both exclaimed. Suddenly it seemed everyone rushed in the room and sprayed Sakura and Syaoran with silly string while also firing at each other.

"Yes, by the way, where is Kero?"
Kero opens the drawer.
"Who's calling my name."
"Kero? Is that you? Your that doll Sakura always had around for 6 years?"
"Huh? Sakura, did you tell your -? Oh my god! Your-"
"Father found out." Sakura and Kero said at the same time.
"Man, I was hoping to hide the embarrassment. Im sorry senior Card Master Kinamoto. For keeping all this a secret."
"Card Master?" Sakura repeated.
"Yes, your father is a Card Master."
"I've retired from this though, that is why I thought I had hidden the book away from anyone. Sakura, what cards are left?"

"Sakura!" Li said as he walked over to Sakura.
Sakura only wore a half-moon hairclip, and the rest of her hair went down, instead of it behind tied in a weird but good to look at tie. She had a white dress that looked so bright, you could've swore she had angel wings.

"Have a good time you two." Sakura's dad said, waved, and left.

Finally, it was showtime. Madison was worried.
"I need a drummer! Our drummer broke his arm and he cant play with a cast!" Madison said.
Touya was just enjoying his day, deciding to go to the festival, and just gave a smile to Sakura and Li backstage.
Sakura let out a small sigh of relief. 'He's finally let go of me. After that long talk yesterday.'
Suddenly Madison went up to Touya, and nodded. He then went and looked at the song lyrics, and gave another nod.
"YEAH!!!! I FOUND A DRUMMER!" Madison exclaimed. Suddenly, Li brought Sakura's face to his face.
"Okay Sakura. Are you ready?" Li said dead in the eyes.
"Syaoran...I...I just cant do this." Sakura said looking down.
"Yes you can, you can do this Sakura! Think of all the people who wanted to see you sing." Syaoran said to try to cheer her on.
"But...but...I'm...so nervous..." Sakura said, her hands shaking from the nervousness.
On the stage, their act is called.
"Okay Sakura, lets go." Syaoran said as he took her hand and tried to guide her, but she wouldn't budge.
Madison ran over to them immediately. "Li-kun, plan B." Madison whispered and ran on stage.
'Oh no. Now look at what you got me into Sakura. Well, I just hope this works, I know you can do it.' Li thought to himself.
"At least come on stage Sakura." Li said, Sakura just shaking her head to indicate no.
"Okay..." Syaoran said as he went on stage. Everyone in the crowd was wondering where Sakura was, she is the most popular girl in school.
Instantly the spotlight came on Li. "I'm sorry everyone, Sakura didnt have time to practice onstage and still has stage fright. So I guess i'm going to have to sing. Sakura, just come out on stage, there is nothing to worry about." Li said into the mic, looking at Sakura off-stage.

"...I'll try my best." Sakura said as she silently cleared her voice.
"Dont worry Sakura, it'll go fine. Your the star tonight, dont forget that." Li said.
Sakura went up to the mic stand as Li cleared the stools.

(Instrumental, Li and Eriol step up, they are both next to each other, even though they are playing different chords, their short haircuts get whipped around by light wind, everyone is surprised that Li can play guitar so well. Sakura gives him a light hug before returning back to the mic stand.)
umareta machi de yume mite kita
kujikeru tabi ni omoidasu
ano uta no you ni ima dekiru koto wa
sukoshi demo mae ni fumidasu koto
(Hits high notes, and every single high note after this, main sound emphases on snare drum.)
lalalala utaou sora o miagede
lalalala It's my life aruite yukou
(Other instriments pick up, Madison does backup)
lalalala utaou sora o miagede
lalalala It's my life aruite yukou
(Light cheers as song nears end)
watashi no chikara de susumu hateshinai kono michi o
(Song slows down)
Umm hmm...
(Song ends, loud applause)
Li goes over to Sakura and gives her a big hug, then a big kiss. Everyone on stage and backstage then comes on stage and gets into a big group hug while everyone is cheering and clapping.
"You sing as good as your mother Sakura, you truely do." Sakura's dad says as he walks away. "Take care of her Syaoran, I know I can trust you now."
Touya sees his mom clapping, and she sees him looking at him.
"Always tell Sakura I love her, and that she was great tonight." His mom says before disappearing.
Touya looks over to Sakura, still in the massive group hug.
"I dont think I need to tell her, mom." Touya said.
***********
Li was carrying Sakura in his arms as they finally arrived at her house after visiting 3 parties. They both were literally wrapped in silly string like cocoons.
"Finally." Li said, about to put Sakura down when the door opens.
"So how did it go you two?" Sakura's dad said.
"It went great dad."
"Well, I want both of you to come in." Sakura's dad said seriously.
Both of them went in and Li put Sakura down and they both sat on the couch.
"Well. I have a confession to make to you Sakura. When you hear this, I know you'll be mad at me Sakura, so just hear this." Sakura's dad said seriously.
"Okay dad." Sakura said, listening carefully.
"Your mom is almost excatly like you. Maybe that is the reason Touya is so protective of you.....Sakura, I want to be with you to capture the last card." Sakura's dad said.
"Okay dad. Got it." Sakura said grabbing Li's hand and they both stood up and she started to lead him upstairs.
"Sakura, wait, that is not what I wanted to say." Sakura's dad said seriously. Sakura stopped. (AG: I safely assume he will be talking serious the entire time, okay.)
"Sakura...this is so hard for me to say..." Sakura's dad said.
"It's okay dad. I just hear it tomar--"
"Sakura, I must tell you this. Sakura...you were born because of the Lust card." Sakura's dad said, immediately looking away in shame.
This took the wind out of both Sakura and Syaoran.
'What...what does this mean father?' Sakura thought.
"Sakura, 9 months before you were born, we caught the last card at a price. The lust card managed to use it's spell on your mother and I, and we both...then, because of the spell, when she gave birth to you, she died instantly because of it. I tried to keep the book away, buried the key with your mother. That is why Touya can see your mother's ghost, it's from the residue of that magic spell. Yet, the book had still found you. So I want both of you to be careful when trying to capture this last card, for if it get's it's spell on you, if you......it'll kill you." Sakura's dad said, pausing at certain parts.
Sakura and Syaoran were just frozen there. They couldn't believe what Sakura's dad had just said. Could Sakura...have been a mistake?
--------------------------
Okay, everyone say "oOoOoOo", in 1, 2, 3.
[Everyone] "oOoOoOo"
Like I said in my last part, I just love cliffhangers. I just have to come up with a solution of which why the Clow Book is in Sakura's father's library. I hope you had fun reading CardCaptors: Alternate Universe, and CardCaptors: Temptation up to this point. I only hope you guys feel the same. Well, now a break from this story to fully develop S+S=ME into a short full story. If I can get a hold of some of the japanese eps. Besides that, I'll also work on the next series, which sadly, will be the final, definate series. If you can think of a better group name for my next story though (The S+S=ME, which might get a rename at some point), just say it in your review. Oh wait, I just remembered, I was supposed to show flashbacks from what happened between Li's arrival back and just before CC: Alternate Universe. Oh well, that'll be later on, more for your yearning pleasure.

[Li] Missing something AG...
Oh yeah...but it'll kill the cliffhanger a bit.
[Sakura] Do you want me to call Kid and tell her to kick your arse so hard you'll kiss the moons?
Okay okay, I get your drift...geez.

Earlier that night...
Eriol and Madison were chatting away, seemingly interested in each other. While Sakura and Syaoran were hiding behind the bushes.
"You think they are going to hook up?" Sakura asked.
"Well, depends if they like each other." Li replied.
Suddenly, the two got up and passed by the bushes Sakura and Li were hiding in and out the door. Sakura and Li got up from their crouch position.
"So we got to go to another party now?" Sakura asked. Before Li can asnwer, Eriol and Madison come barging in and start spraying Sakura and Li with silly string.
"Got'cha!" They both exclaimed. Suddenly it seemed everyone rushed in the room and sprayed Sakura and Syaoran with silly string while also firing at each other.
