DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Cardcaptors characters, they belong to Nelvana. I only made up the character of Melissa the incantation that she says was also made up by me.
Chapter 5: To Love or to Hate?
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. This is my first Cardcaptors fic so be patient. Enjoy!

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...

::There are only two cards in your power, Sakura. Earth and dash. I don't know if they will be able to help you, but you have to fight Emptiness to save the save the ones you love. If you love your sister as much as you say you do, you must learn to let her go since she cannot be a member of your future:: Sakura's head echoed those in her head. She didn't seem to know who said them and why they said that Melissa would not be a part of her future. ::You either love someone or you hate them. It's up to you, my little one::
"Li...", Sakura woke up from the trance she seemed to be in, "...Li. Meilin, where's Li?"
Meilin looked worried, "are you sure you're capable of helping them, Sakura? Will you be able to help all of us?"
::Emptiness takes over you. You need to stand up to it. I will be here, if you need me::
Li was in the Penguin park once again. "Emptiness! Why do you want Sakura and her sister? I am Clow Reed's descendant, why don't you want me?"
The tall figure appeared once again. "Li Showron. Your heart is dark for me to claim. I took Clow Reed's because he had a special magic in his heart. You don't seem to posses that, Sakura does. If you don't want to see her harmed, I would recommend you to leave her now. I will reach her, and she will have a tough decision to make. Leave. Leave..."
"Take me! She's loved in this place. I'm not needed!"
"Foolish boy. Sakura loves you and you love her. You don't matter to me! Don't you see that?" Emptiness sent Li an energy blast that injured his shoulder. "Now leave if you want her alive!"
The blast really injured Li and he fainted. The group was soon at the park and saw Li on the ground in a puddle of his own blood.
"You're finally here, card captor. Are you up to my challenge?" The Emptiness card neared Li's half dead body and healed it. "Stand up boy, the true test is about to start!"
As Li stood up with Madison and Meilin's help, Emptiness entered Sakura's body. ::You must fight it. If you love them, you can't give up. If you need my help, just say so::
Back at the hospital, Melissa was still under a critical condition. ::It seems the only way I can reach her is through her dreams:: Kero concentrated and was soon in Melissa's nightmare.
*Dream sequence*
Melissa was witnessing Clow Reed's death. Clow Reed seemed to be talking to someone but there wasn't any sound coming out of his mouth. Melissa couldn't tell who he was talking to. Clow Reed then got upset and threw everything that was near him to the person that he seemed to be talking to earlier.
"Why don't you help me?! Why is she inside of me? Why can't they help me?!" Those were the only words that Melissa heard from Clow Reed.
"Melissa," Kero was now in Melissa dream, "he was talking to me. I didn't know what he was talking about. I just knew he was mad, angry at some one and he was upset that they couldn't help him. I finally understand what he was talking about"
"It wasn't your fault. You couldn't see into him" Melissa looked back to see Kero and she saw that he was now in his true form. A big lion like figure with wings on his back stepped in front of Melissa and looked at her.
"You need to wake up. I know your magic is consuming all of your energy, but Emptiness might all ready be inside of your sister. Once she's inside, there isn't a way I know how to stop it. You saw how Clow Reed was acting before he died. As hard as this may be to believe, I didn't see him die, I just saw him... dead. I don't want that to happen to Sakura"
*End dream*
::You must fight her, you can't let it kill you::
Back in the park, Sakura looked up at her friends. She was sitting on her knees trying to gather everything that was in her head. She heard voices from to females.
"Sakura, are you all right?" Li extended his hand and lifted Sakura.
"I think so. I have a terrible headache though" Sakura stood up and everyone headed back to the hospital. Everything was back to normal.
Kero was keeping watch over Melissa. *I don't know kiddo. If you wake up, you might be able to help Sakura. But this battle is up to her*
"You guys should go ahead" Li looked back at Meilin and Madison and then looked at Sakura.
"We'll be upstairs if you need us" Meilin grabbed Madison by the arm and pulled on her.
Li went over to hug Sakura. "This seems to be a toll on you. Sakura, wasn't I hurt when you got to the park?"
Sakura nodded and returned Li's hug. She Leaned closer to him and gave him a soft kiss on his lips.
*I will consume you. You are mine now* a voice in Sakura's head said.
Sakura pushed Li back and slapped him. "Who do you think you are? Why did you kiss me?"
Li looked at Sakura surprised. "What?" He rubbed his left cheek as he watched Sakura head angrily towards the hospital. "What?"
Madison, Meilin and Kero were in Melissa's room. They jumped out of their seats as Sakura rushed into the room and near Melissa's bed. She started to take out all of the plugs that were in Melissa's body. The heart monitor beeped like mad as Sakura was shaking her sister.
"Sakura! What are you doing?" Madison tried to hold Sakura back but Sakura pushed Madison hard enough to make her back hit the wall.
*It's happening again. Melissa, wake up!* Kero thought as Meilin and him tried helping Madison up.
::Why are you messing with my daughter's life?::
*So you're the one that hasn't let me take full control of her, right? Well, I'm willing to fight for her and while she's awake, she will hurt who ever is in her way!*
A fight was going on inside of Sakura's head between the soul of Sakura's mom and the Emptiness card. Meanwhile, Sakura was still shaking her sister uncontrollably...
Next time: The final battle has started! Will Sakura hurt the ones she loves? Who will stop her? What will happen to Sakura if her mother's soul losses? Join me in the conclusion of Not Now in chapter six: is it the end?
Not Now!
