DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Cardcaptors characters, they belong to Nelvana. I only made up the character of Melissa. ^_^


Chapter 2: Emptiness Leads the Way

Five years have passed since Sakura met her final match. I have not seen the Sakura cards season so I will not add Eriol and the rest of that cast to this story. I will also write most of it in Sakura's point of view and I will also go into the third person since I don't think I can keep this whole thing under Sakura's point of view. I hope it doesn't confuse you. This is my first Cardcaptors fic so be patient. Enjoy!

"Avalon! You are such a ditz! Why didn't you seal ALL the cards?" Meilin always has a way to get to me! I did seal the clow cards!

Sakura quickly pulled out the pink cell phone from her pocket and called Kero.

Back home, Kero jumped as his cell phone rang. "What'd want?"

"Kero! It's a clow card!"

"WHAT?"

Minutes after their conversation, Kero had arrived at school. Meilin, Li, Sakura and Kero were searching for clues.

"So, let me get this straight, you guys just left for a couple of minutes and then everyone was gone?" Kero always tries to sound smart, he is.

Everyone nodded a yes to Kero.

They were surrounded by nothing. No sound. No movement. No life, except for their own.

This is too strange! I know I've already sealed all of the clow cards. I did that years ago!

A sound was heard from behind the three teens and Kero.

"Sakura! Where did everyone go?" It was Melissa, Sakura's sister.

"Melissa! You're all right!" Sakura just hugged Melissa and Li had a suspicious look on his face.

"And who are you?" Li grabbed Melissa making her stumble backwards toward him.

"Li, what's wrong? Don't you remember my sister?" What is up with Li? He really enjoyed being with Melissa before he went back to China, now he doesn't even remember her!

Before Li could answer, the whole group noticed that people were starting to reappear.

"Could it be work of the Erase Card?" Asked Kero.

Sakura searched through her cards. The Erase Card was in the group.

"I don't think so. It's right here" said Sakura showing everyone the card.

Minutes later, everyone was back.

"Sakura", said Madison running toward the group, "what happened? One minute we were all here and then... I... don't remember were we where"

No one noticed that they were being watched.

That night, Sakura was having another one of her dreams.

Sakura was standing in front of the Tokyo Tower looking at a big croud and they all suddenly disapear. "It's so quiet. It's empty. The whole world is empty!" Stated Sakura.

THE LEGEND:

Kero: Clow Reed made each and everyone of his cards special in a different way. The four basic elements were his strongest creation ever, but he accidentally made a card that even he feared. It made everything go wrong and it eventually ended his life...

It was a peaceful Tuesday morning and Li Showron was looking down on a stream from a bridge. He was thinking about everything, his feelings and what the new Clow card could be.

"Morning, Li!" Sakura was alone this morning. It was Tori's day off so he stayed home. "What are you thinking about?"

Li blushed. "Morning, Sakura. The reason why I went back to China, was to learn more about Clow Reed. But you know what I found? Nothing. There is nothing that leads me back to him. I've heard that the cause of his death was one of his creations--"

"You mean a Clow card?" wondered Sakura.

"Yes. A Clow card"

Sakura looked at Li and she shuddered. Li saw that she was about to cry and as if he was being pulled by some force, he hugged her. "Nothing's gonna happen to you, Sakura. Clow Reed didn't make his cards for killing people, he made them to expand his magic powers"

Li backed Sakura a bit from him and took her face on his hand. They both stared deeply into each others eyes for a couple of minutes. Sakura let out a small shudder as a cause of a sob. Li held her and they leaned toward each other...

"Hey, Li!" This voice came from behind Li. It was Meilin. The sound of her voice broke Sakura and Li appart. Meilin noticed what was about to happen and moments later, Sakura whipped her face from crying and headed back home.

"Where are you going?" shouted Li.

"I need to think. I'm heading back home" responded Sakura rollerskating as fast she could.

They were being watched once again.

Madison soon reached the bridge were Meilin and Li were looking at Sakura disappear in the distance. "Where is she going?"

"She isn't feeling well. She's going back home" said Li in his semi deep voice.

Meilin, Li and Madison decided that they should go after Sakura. It was morning and the air is usually filled by noise. However, there was none. This had happened the day before in school. No one was around. There no was noise. Nothing.

Sakura reached the corner of the street where she lived. She stopped before entering the yard to her house and slowly awaited a cherry blossom that was heading her way. She grasped with her hands with all her might as a tear flowed down her cheek and she entered the house. She sat down to take off her skates and then started to go up the stairs.

"Sakura, what are you doing home?" asked Melissa.

Before answering her sister, Sakura fainted and slowly fell down the five steps she had already gone up. Aiden, Melissa, Tori and Kero watched as Sakura fell. As Sakura was on the ground, she still held the cherry blossom and from it came out a small powder which made its way into Sakura's nose.

Only Kero noticed this. Aiden and Tori went to pick up Sakura while Melissa answered the door. Madison gasped at seeing Sakura being carried off the ground and the three teens entered the Avalon house.

Minutes later, everyone was gathered around Sakura while she lay on her bed. Sakura slowly openned her eyes and looked around each face that was gathered around her. She even noticed Kero floating around. "Kero, they'll see you. Go up to my room"

Sakura was confused, the fall or the powder had injured her. She slowly stood up and Li grabbed her hands "Are you allright?"

Sakura looked at Li "who are you? What are all you people doing in my room?"

At that time, the Clow book was glowing and the Windy card disappeared...

Next time: Was one of the Clow cards the reason of Clow Reed's death? Why are Sakura and Li forgetting things? Why is Sakura so worried? What's happening to the cards? Join me next time as we see what is happening to Reedington and it's people in chapter three: Recapture the cards: Sakura, Wake up!
