Disclaimer- I do not own CCS so you can¡¯t sue me. ^_^
Sitting by my window I see him coming out of a white limo. He¡¯s in a tux that¡¯s dark green and his gold cuffs gleamed even in the dark. He strides toward the door and somethings in his hand but I can¡¯t make it out. He looks so handsome and a glow from his eyes can be even from here. I peer down at him when he reaches for the doorbell.
The Encounter

Syaoran~*~Syaoran
Briiing. I take a step back and hold my breath. My heart was beating like crazy. It was prom night and I couldn¡¯t believe I was taking the girl of my dreams. I make sure the flowers are not messed up and look up just in time to see the door open. Standing there was Touya.
¡°Oh. It¡¯s you. Just wait a sec.¡± A look of disbelief is written all over his face. It didn¡¯t matter. Sakura was going with me and that was the only thing that mattered.
¡°Sakura! The Chine¡¦ I¡¯m mean your date is here.¡± It seemed to hurt him to say that. A beautiful voice came from up stairs. ¡°Just a minute!¡± A minute later I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I stared as she came to full view. She was in a beautiful light pink gown/dress. She had pink satin slipper/shoes. A flower(you guessed it. Cherry blossom) was pinned right next to her ear. She had a look of pure delight on her face but was also blushing at the same time.
¡°Sa-Sakura! You, you look wonderful!¡± Ok that sounded kind of corny but Sakura didn¡¯t seem tot mind.
¡°Thanks. You don¡¯t look so bad yourself.¡± She walked over and slid her arms into mine. Touya frown but didn¡¯t say anything to upset Sakura. Her dad came out and took pictures. He had tears in his eyes. ¡°Sakura. If your mother could see you today.¡±
Sakura flashed her dad a smile. ¡°Oh come on dad. Don¡¯t cry.¡±
He quickly brushed away a tear. ¡°You¡¯re right. Syaoran, take care of her and don¡¯t come back any later than 1.¡±
I nodded and tried to look as mature as possible. ¡°Yes sir.¡± I looked at Touya. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t kill her.¡±
Touya looked furious but just stood there. We awalked out of her house. When Touya closed the door I whipped the flowers from my back. ¡°Pretty flowers for a beautiful woman.¡± Sakura blushed and giggled.
¡°Oh stop it Syaoran. Domo Arigato.¡± She took the flowers and breathed into them. ¡°They smell wonderful.¡±
We got to the limo and I opened the door and she stepped carefully in. Inside it was leather and a beautiful tune was playing. The car began moving and Sakura leaned on to me. My heart began beating faster and faster. I put an arm around her shoulders and she sighed. ¡°What a wonderful night Syaoran.¡± I sighed as if to say yes. We just sat there like the luckiest couple in the world and the limo came to a stop.
We got out and looked at the hotel where the prom took place. Many couples were arriving but we seemed to be the only one in a limo. I thought too soon. Behind us tires came to a halt. A really and I mean really long limo appeared. A door opened and Eriol stepped out. He reached for a hand a Tomoyo stepped out as well. I could help but feel jealous.
Tomoyo saw us and waved. ¡°Oh hi Sakura. You look gorgeous. Syaoran you look great.¡± We both thanked her and returned the compliments.
Eriol stepped up and shook my hand. ¡°Hello Syaoran. What a wonderful night, hai?¡± I nodded and we walked together to the lobby.
Sakura~*~Sakura
We stepped into the most beautiful ballroom I¡¯ve every seen. A huge chandlier hung on the ceiling, glimmering in the lights. A golden hue engulfed the walls and beautifully designed round tables were on the edge of the dancing floor. Many couples were already dancing and others were scattered around the room. We walked over to a vacant table for four and sat down. Tomoyo and I talked to friends who walked by and exchanged compliments. Syaoran just sat there but Eriol was looking around like a little boy in a candy store. Syaoran said he was going to get punch and Eriol got up as well.
¡°You¡¯re so lucky Syaoran asked you,¡± exclaimed Tomoyo.
I nodded and remebered the day he came up to ask me. It was the greatest day of my life. Tomoyo went crazy on the phone when Eriol asked her. The guys came back and we drank our punch.
I got up and took Syaoran¡¯s arm. ¡°Let¡¯s dance.¡± Syaoran got up with a sigh and took my hand. He wrapped an arm around my waist and lifted my arm with his. We danced to the music and I felt dazed because I still couldn¡¯t believe I was standing here with the most handsome guy in school. If only he knew how a felt. The song came to an end but when we tried to move we couldn¡¯t. It was as if we were stuck there. Suddenly everything around us dissapeared and a weird feeling of power and authority fill our head.
One word boomed in our head. ¡°COME!¡± we looked around to see who was shouting. What I saw made my heart stop.
Syaoran~*~Syaoran
We were standing in a vast room which seemed to go on forever. Hundreds of people were walking around, as confused as we were. Many of them were wearing outfits that seemed to be from the past. Maybe they were actors. I felt Sakura tremble next to me and I held her tight. We walked around to see if we knew anyone.
¡°Well this definetly doesn¡¯t look like the ballroom.¡± Sakura giggled at my remark but stopped immediately.
¡°Sy-Syaoran. Where are we?¡± She seemed confused and dazed at the same time. I had no answer for her . I looked around and started to answer her when I saw him. He would have looked like anyone but I knew he wasn¡¯t.
¡°Li Syaoran!¡± I eclaimed. Sakura looked at me confused.
¡°What did you say Syaoran?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Li Syaoran!¡± I was excited but also confused. How could it be. He was dead hundreds of years ago. Sakura looked at me. ¡°Syaoran, I think your sick. What do you mean it¡¯s Li Syaroan. Your Li Syaoran!¡± I shook my head.
¡°I had a ancestor named Li Syaoran. I was named after him. He was considered the greatest Card Captor of the Li clan. He was the only one every to seal all the cards. But people like you Sakura, no offence (Sakura- ¡°None taken.¡±), released them. But¡¦he¡¯s dead and was for centuries.¡±
Suddenly something dawned to me. I looked around and saw many faces I only saw on portraits owned by the Li clan. They were all Card Captors, just like us! But they¡¯re all dead! The only one who could do this was¡¦
¡°CARD CAPTORS! WELCOME!¡± I stared at the middle of the room. There standing in the middle was a man dressed in a deep blue cloak. By his side was Keroberos in his true form. I stepped back in surprise. Sakura looked at me. ¡°Syaoran what¡¯s wrong?¡±
I could not talk for a second but finally one whisper escaped my mouth. ¡°Clow Reed!¡±
