THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT (CHAP. 3)

"That's very pretty Eriol. Thank you." Tomoyo says as Eriol hands her a porcelain flower.

"You're most welcome my lady." He says with his strange smile. "So, how are you two?"

"I'm fine." I smile. "Syaoran? Are you ok?"

"Yes, I am." He grins. "So where to next Tomoyo?"

"How about the Ferris Wheel?" Tomoyo says slyly. "It's a beautiful night out to look at the stars."

I glare daggers at Tomoyo. "That would be a lovely idea." Eriol replies and takes her arm. "Shall we?"

"Sure." Syaoran says and suddenly takes my arm. "May I Sakura?"

"I…I…sure." I begin walking with him and Eriol and Tomoyo to the Ferris Wheel.

When we get in I hear an announcement over the carnival. I perk my ears up to listen more. "Tomoyo?"

"Sakura, Syaoran, did you hear that?" Tomoyo winks at me. "They're having a cutest couple contest. Maybe you and Syaoran should enter."

I grab her once we're off the Ferris Wheel. "What are you pulling Tomoyo?"

"Oh nothing." She says. "But don't worry, I don't think Syaoran will catch on. Eriol and I are going to enter so you'll feel better."

"TOMOYO!" I whine and turn pink. "That is so embarrassing!"

"Sakura!"

"Oh!" I gasp and turn around, abruptly placing Tomoyo away from Syaoran and I. "Yes? What is it?"

"I just wanted to know if we could talk later? You know, after the carnival?" He gives me a serious look. I nod. "Meet me at Penguin park?"

I nod again as he takes my hand. 'Tomoyo, I will get you for this.' I vow silently as we make our way to the stage. "Syaoran, are you sure about this?"

"Not really. Tomoyo said it would be fun." He gives me a curious look.

"SHE WHAT?" I feel as though my eyes have popped out of my sockets. "Do you SERIOUSLY think that?"

"Um…not really. It's kind of embarrassing." He looks the other way. "Well, let's get it over with."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our contestants for the first annual cutest couple contest!" The host says. "Right now, our couples will model off some outfits, made by our very own Miss Tomoyo, and we will see how cute each couple looks together!"

I feel myself get irritated. "Made by Tomoyo huh? Gee, wonder what our costumes will be."

"Our first couple is Sakura Kinomoto and Li Syaoran!" The host smiles. "Let's see what they look like in their modeling clothes, but first, let us remind ourselves of the rules and…"

The man's voice fades as I grab my costume and put it on. I see Tomoyo and Eriol putting theirs on as well. By the time I'm done I barely realize what the costumes are. 'Our old Card Captor outfits. How could she? I knew Tomoyo would do this, but I didn't think it hurt so much to see this clothing again.' I glance over at Syaoran who is patiently waiting is his outfit. I have to look away to hide the hurt in my eyes. I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn to the person.

"Sakura…these clothes…they seem familiar." He says. "It's as if I've worn them many times before."

I feel hopeful. 'He must remember now.' I smile at him. "Really? So do I."

"Here you are folks! Sakura and Syaoran!"

We walk out and the crowd of people go wild. I feel my cheeks getting hot. 'Oh god, I'm blushing!' I turn to Syaoran. He looks nervous and somewhat unsure. He almost looks like the old Syaoran I know. 'Could it be? Has he returned?' I tug at his hand and make him face me. "Syaoran? What's wrong?"

"Nothing." He says with and impassive voice. "What are we doing here? What am I doing here?"

"I…"

"Did you drag me here Sakura?!" He looks angry. "How did I get back to America? I'm supposed to be in Hong Kong!"

"You're back!" I say with delight and hug him. "Syaoran I missed you so much!"

"Um…Sakura. Why are you hugging me?"

"Because, after all this time, you're finally back." I sigh happily.

"Um…Sakura, I didn't go anywhere. I've been standing here the whole time. We came out together remember?" He gives me an odd look. "Are you sick?"

"No…but you…and you…um…nevermind." I say sadly. "I'm just a bit hyper I guess."

"Oh." He says.

I sigh again. 'For a minute, I really had the old Syaoran back, but now…there's got to be a way.' I smile at the crowd and we finally walk off. Next is Tomoyo and Eriol, then five more couples after that. I sit in the back, waiting for the winners to be announced while I sip a glass of tea. I see Syaoran standing by the side stage, his look a far away one. I can only hope that he will have more flashbacks, if that's what one can call them. I stand as I see all the couples lining up. I drag him over and we stand next to Tomoyo and Eriol. She looks over at me and grins.

"You're gonna win Sakura!" She cheers.

"Yeah I guess." I say as I grip Syaoran's hand.

"And the winners are…SAKURA AND SYAORAN!"

"YES!" I jump up then throw myself at Syaoran. He holds me in his arms for a few minutes before setting me back on my feet. We're about to receive the trophy when Syaoran suddenly faints. "SYAORAN!" I drop to my knees and catch him before he hits the ground. I shake him to see if he'll wake but he doesn't. I feel my eyes burn and begin to tear. "SYAORAN! WAKE UP! PLEASE WAKE UP!"

"SAKURA!" Tomoyo and Eriol run over and help me pick him up. "Eriol, call an ambulance, NOW!"

"WHAT"S HAPPENING TOMOYO?!" I scream hysterically after a few more shakes. "WHY ISN'T HE WAKING UP?! WHY?!"

"Sakura, calm down! You're spazing!" She shakes my shoulders. "He'll be ok. I'm sure it was just a moment of overwhelming…happiness."

"Uh huh…" I choke out. "So he'll be ok?"

"Yes." Eriol says. "Here, go in the ambulance."

I nod and they lead me to the ambulance. I get in and say bye. As we head to the hospital and I smile weakly. "Syaoran, I'm here." I gently brush his bangs back and place a small kiss on his forehead. "I'm here."

I don't know how long I've been waiting but I'm in the hospital sitting on the chair in the waiting room. I'm about o doze off when a doctor comes up to me. "You're the young lady who brought in the young man earlier? A Li Syaoran?" He asks. I nod. "Well, he's going to be fine. He just had a slight overload of information in his brain, although I don't what caused it."

"May I go see him now?" I ask tentively.

"Yes." The man says then leaves. "It is room 318."

I thank him and head over to his room. I'm eager to see him since he seems ok. 'What could it have been though? People don't just have a sensory overload for nothing.' Quietly I open the door and step in. The room is dark and silent as death. I walk to the bed and stand by it, resting my hand on his cheek. "Syaoran?"

"Sakura, there's something I think you should know." He says.

I jump a little and move my hand away. "I…I'm sorry. Didn't know you were awake." I laugh nervously. "So, what did you want to tell me?"

"Back, when I was in Hong Kong, I vaguely remember something trivial, though it seems rather important." He stares out the window. "After I went back to Hong Kong because of my mother and the clan, I remember holding a picture of a girl as I got off the plane. I was so engrossed by the girls beautiful features that I tripped. I remember tripping on the staircase, then blackness."

I choke back a sob as he turns to me, looking at me like the same Syaoran that left me four years ago. "Are you?"

"I am." He says.

My eyes begin to tear as I see him slowely get up and make his way over to my chair. "You…you…really are."

Gently but lovingly he cups my face in his hands. "Sakura I…I…AHHHHH!"

"SYAORAN!" I try to hold him as he backs away. He holds his head in his hands and continues his anguished cries. "Syaoran, are you ok?"

"Stay away from me!" He shouts. "No…NO! NO MORE! I CAN'T TAKE IT!"

"Please Syaoran, let me help you!" I cry, once again trying to help him.

Suddenly he stops and looks up at me, eyes full of curiosity. "Sakura, why am I in the hospital?"

He's gone. "You don't remember?" I sigh sadly as I now realize that Syaoran is having flashbacks but hasn't returned. "Well, actually there's nothin to remember. You just hurt yourself, that's all. But you're better now so, I'll check you out."

With a heavy sadness upon my shoulders I take his hand and lead him to the nurse's station. "Nurse? My. Li is ready to leave." I say. She looks at me with a sarcastic look. "The doctor said he could go." Finally she nods, checks the computer, and we leave. On the way to his house I notice his look is far away, sad, longing. "Syaoran, would you mind walking home alone the rest of the way? I need some time alone."

"But…"

"Go." I say. "Please."

He nods and walks off, disappearing into the morning fog. With one more heavy sigh I walk the short distance to the park. As I round the corner I halt to a stop. "Tomoyo? Eriol?" I jump behind the tree and spy. 'Ah, a little spying never hurt anyone.' I decide to have a small peak. When I look out I see Tomoyo and Eriol holding hands, sitting on the ground. 'So…they ARE an item.' Suddenly I hear a leaf crunch behind me. "Who the?"

"Hello Sakura."

I practically jump out of my skin. "KERO?!"

"YUP!" He shouts.

"SHUT UP! Tomoyo and Eriol will hear you!" I say and slap a hand over his mouth. "Why don't we go to my house? Come on."

We quickly make our escape to my house and run up to my room. "So Kero, what's wrong this time? Didn't we seal the clow cards for good?"

"Well, I thought we did, but, there's more to it than just the cards." He says. "The cards that we need to capture now, but, they were created. Someone is messing with the book of Clow. We need to stop them."

"But…But Kero, who's going to help me?" I ask.

"The little brat of course."

"Kero, he doesn't remember the Clow cards. He doesn't remember MeiLin that well either…he doesn't even remember me…" I tear up a bit but brush it aside just as quickly.

"Are you for real Sakura?" His eyes widen."This can't be possible! This could be the end of the universe!"

"KERO!" I yell.; "You're freaking me out! This is just too much to handle!"

"But Sakura, you're a Card Captor!" He says.

"Well, maybe I don't want to be one anymore!" I yell loudly. "Maybe, I don't want the responsibility! I'm tired Kero!"

"Sakura…" Kero begins. "You can't give up on the clow cards!"

"YES I CAN!" I repeat over and over again. "I am MY own person."

"Well, I can't force you to Sakura but you know where to find me if you change your mind." Kero says sadly. "Goodbye…"

I watch as he disappears through the window, With burden I trudge over to my bed and ly down. I'm about to put on my radio when I hear a rapping at my window. I look up and jump. "Syaoran!" I open the window and let him in. "What the hell? Are you crazy? If Otausan found you…or Onnichan, he'd kill you!"

"Well there've been stranger things like that little yellow stuffed animal floating out your window, or was that a figment of my imagination?" He dusts his pants off.

"Oh!" I sweat drop slightly. "That was a figment of your imagination…and um…since when do you jump through my window?"

"I don't, but the door was locked." He points to the tree. "That was the only other way."

"Ahh…haha." I laugh solemnly. "So, what did you come here for?"

"Nothing really. I just thought that maybe we could go talk." He smiles. "I've been meaning to ask you something."

"Well, is later ok? I have something to do right now." I lie. "I have to go to the shopping center to pick up some supplies for Touya and my father."

"Can I go with you?" He asks.

I stare at him a while. 'Kero, I will go.' I think. 'I can't let this world be destroyed. I can't let Syaoran be destroyed without his proper memory. I can't let love be destroyed because of my own selfish reasons.' I know what I must do. "No Syaoran. You stay at home. I will visit you later. I just need some time to think." I place a fake smile on my lips, hoping that he will fall for it. He falters.

"Ok. See you later Sakura." He jumps through my window and is gone.

Once he is gone I grab my old Card Captors outfit. Rummaging through my jewelry box I find the clow key. With a weak smile I place it around my neck, the clothes in the other. 'I don't know if I'll make it my friends.' I think as I step to the window. 'I guess this is goodbye for now.' With that last thought I hop out the window, disappearing from the place where I hope to return.

POV SWITCH (SYAORAN)

'Why did Sakura ask me to go? Something has to be up.' I watch silently from behind my cache as Sakura jumps through her window. As she adjusts herself I see a flash of a key like necklace that falls from her neck. It's a pretty key, seeming almost familiar. As she leans over to pick it up I get a better look. Suddenly my head begins to hurt. It pounds. 'W…what is happening? Why does it hurt so much?' I grab my head and fall to my knees as the pain intensifies. Then, as if by magic, the pain is gone. I get up just in time to see Sakura run off with that yellow stuffed animal. I follow them. 'Sakura, where are you going? You don't have to lie to me.'

POV SWITCH (SAKURA)

"Kero, where exactly am I supposed to go?" I ask as we continue running. "Definitely not Penguin Park, I'm sure!"

" Right! Well, to be quite frank it's not anywhere near civilization!" Kero glances around.

"IS it on the city's outskirts?" I keep running even though I'm out of breath.

"You could say that." He says.

"Well, how far is it then?" I pant.

"Just a couple more miles!" He says.

I've been running for hours. I know Kero and I are beyond the city, far beyond it. 'Far beyond Syaoran.' I think sadly. 'I never even told him.' A couple tears travel down my cheeks but are dried by the wind that rushes on my face. "Now are we almost there?" I ask.

"Yeah!" He says. "Stop right here!"

"Ok." I say. "Where is the card? I sense it. What is the card? Kero?"

"I think it's-AHHHHHHH!"

"Kero!" I cry as I see him shot back 12 feet away from me. I glance around. "Clow Card! REVEAL YOURSELF!"

Out of the darkness a beautiful glowing card steps, flaming red and orange. It looks at me oddly before a laugh escapes its throat. "Hahahaha...hello."

"You can talk?" I ask bewildered. In all my years of capturing I had never met a talking Clow Card. "What are you?"

"I am a Clow Card of course. Little girl, back off now, if you want to live." She says.

"NEVER!" I take another look at her. 'She looks like a fire type card. Wind and Water might do the trick.' I raise my wand. "WATER, WIND RELEASE AND DISPEL!"

I watch as the water and wind attack disintegrate in front of her. "Water and Wind? Well, that won't work dear child."

"What are you?" I call back the cards. "WATER, WIND RETURN TO YOUR POWER CONFINED!"

"Till next time child." She starts to fade away. "A bit of warning, I will strike where the living lay!"

"WHAT? WAIT!" I begin to run towards her but a sudden voice stops me.

"SAKURA!"

'SYAORAN!' I turn around just in time as Syaoran slams into me, knocking us both to the ground. "OOF!"

"Oh, Sakura! Sorry!" He says and quickly helps me up.

"That's alright." I rub my head.

"Sakura, why are you wearing that?" He points to my outfit. "Wasn't that for the contest?"

"Um yeah...just felt like playing." I scratch my head and laugh.

"At 11:00 at night? And in the rural part of the town?" He gives me a questioning look.

"Look, it's a long story." I fan myself. 'I wonder if he saw the Clow Card?' I plainly look towards the city. "Let's just go home."

As we begin to walk away I remember Kero. 'Oh no! Kero!' I turn to Syaoran. "Can you wait a minute? I forgot something." I run over and pick up Kero who is ok but sleeping. 'That blast must have hurt some.' I gently wrap him in my scarf and place him in my bag. "Ok. Let's go!" As we continue running I look back. 'I will figure out what that Clow Card is. But what did she mean till next time? Striking at the living?'

(Hey again! I'm sorry if it's so cheap & short but I need to make it somewhat suspensful right? If it's even that. Anyway, hope to have the next part out soon. THANX!) ~SAMENIA~
