Three days have passed since Syaoran and I… (blush). We didn't let things get weird between us. In reality it brought us closer. For just one moment in time Syaoran had belonged to her. Even though he still never told her that he loved her, she knew. But being of the femeal species, she wanted so deperatly to hear him say it. To know that he cared was differnt from knowing that he knew he cared. Femei and the other girls are coming home today. And how I long to talk to Femei. My dear friend. The moment I surrendered to Syaoran I decided my mission is no longer important. The Clow cards could never fill the void in my heart if I ever left this place. The Li family has become my family. And if Syaoran and I are married then I will full fill my mission to Yue and Clow Reed because I would still have possession of the Clow cards and could protect them.
There is one dark shadow that follows me though! I must confess my deception not only to my beloved lone wolf, but to his wonderful family as well. Femei has been my dear friend and confidant. I know I can trust her and she will judge me fairly. I shall tell her first and as soon as she gets back. I am kinda scared. But I have faced death its self before… I am the Clow mistress! Nothing stands in my way!

"I'm so glade to be home! Even though I am away from my future husband! He's such a dear! Who would have thought that in two weeks, you could fall so deeply in love. Oh Sakura he's so wonderful!" Femei sighed as she sat on Sakura's bed telling her all about the two weeks at the Season and meeting her love. Sakura just looked at her and smiled.
"I'm very happy for you! I can't wait to meet him!"
"I missed these little talks of ours so much. Even though I have there older sisters, I've always wanted a little sister! I couldn't have asked for a better little sister then you!" Femei bubbled.
Sakura was touched very dearly. It tore her heart apart to know she had lied to these people. These people who had been nothing but kind and caring to her. "I've always wanted a sister! But all I ever had was an older brother." Sakura confessed.
"You got your memory back! That's so wonderful Sakura! you must tell me all that you remeber" Femei beamed.
"I never lost my memory Femei."
Femei looked at her confused. "What are you saying Sakura?" Femei asked her eyes filled with a mixture of pain and confussion.
Please don't ask questions! I will tell you all. I will explain everything just give me time." Sakura paused and looked at Femei. She then went to her pillow and pulled from under it a purple bundle. She held it out to Femei. "Take this and open it." Femei did as she asked and gasped when she saw what was wrapped inside.
"These look just like the…"
"Clow cards!" Sakura finished.
"How do you know that? How do you know about the Clow cards?" Femei gasped.
"I am the Clow mistress. Hand chosen by Clow Reed! I passed Yue's judgement and the right to be considered the Clow mistress. This is the key if you still don't believe me. Though I wouldn't blame you." Sakura added remorsefully. Femei looked at her in awe and pain as well.
"You're here for the Clow cards!" Femei whispered.
"I was sent by the guardian of the seal, Keroberus! I was to come here to Hong Kong, take back the cards, escape, and turn them into Sakura cards."
"So these pink cards were once Clow cards and that's why there the missing cards because you have the power of the mistress to make them your own!" Femei exclaimed putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
"Yes."
"But why Sakura? Why the lies… and deceit? Why didn't you just come here and plea your case?" Femei sobbed.
Sakura swallowed the lump in her throat. "For many reasons. One being I thought you would not give me back the cards, Pride that the cards had been stolen from me and I had to prove I could get them back. But the main reason would have to be the Fire card. Of all of the Clow cards THAT card I truly have the right to call it my own! No one can lay the claim on that card but me!" Sakura was harsh and firm. Femei saw a great pain in her eyes as she mentioned the Fire card.
Femei shook her head. "I don't understand Sakura!"
"To capture that card I paid a price to high to have it stolen from me!"
"And what was that?" Femei spat. She was angered that her dear friend had lied to her the moment she laid eyed on her and just because she was the Clow mistress she thought it gave her the right to lie and plan to steal form her family. But Femei was a fair person she would let Sakura finish pleading her case and then she would make her judgement.
Sakura's eyes began to tear as she moved to the window seat of her room sat down. She didn't look at Femei. She stared blankly outside as she wove her tale. A story and a moment in time she wished she could erase forever.
"The piece I paid was the life of my father and the love of my only sibling. The only family I had left. The love of my beloved oni-chan.
It happened a little over a year ago on a cold winter's day. Christmas day in fact. It was beautifully white. Snow blanketed the Earth with its splendor. It was nightfall and my older brother Torii and I were in the living room bickering about him calling me a little monster. My father was in the kitchen pulling brownies out of the oven. It was in the middle of are argument that we heard my father gasp in terror. I had been to busy fighting with Torii I didn't sense the Clow card.
After hearing my father's scream I sensed it. I ran to the kitchen calling out my wand. It was then I saw the fire and… and the firey card was about to throw a fire arrow at my father. I tried to save him I really did! I sent the water card after it. But it was to late… my father was hit by the blast! I sealed the fire card. My brother saw the whole thing. We both rushed to our father only to find him barely alive.
My father fought to live he really did! But to much of his body had been burned! He died just a few hours later at the hospital. Torii and I were there just as he passed on. My brother took it hard. Real hard. You see my mother died giving birth to me… Torii… he made me explain what had happened at the house. I did. He… he… then called me a murder! He said first I killed our mother… then… then I killed our father. He said he never wanted to see me ever again. That he didn't want a murdering sister who could come… come in the middle of the night… and kill him!" Sakura was shaking with sobs. Her face buried in her hands.
Femei had tears of her own in her eyes. She knew Sakura was telling the truth. The anguish in her eyes in her voice was no act. It was genuine pain and sorrow. She rushed to beloved friend and embraced her.
"Oh no Sakura! You mustn't believe him! He was angry and hurt and to blind by grief when he said all of those things to you. Oh he couldn't have meant it."
"He did! Oh Kamii Sami he did! The hate in his eyes as he accused me was real, oh so very real." Sakura began to cry even more.
"Oh Sakura I'm so sorry."
"Oh Femei I'm so sorry! I truly am! I should have come clean sooner it's just that… that you and your family became the only family to me. And I have never had sisters and a mother, and then I… I fell in love with Syaoran. And I don't know how I am going to tell him! What a horrible person I really am."
"Sakura you're not a horrible person. You're just so kind and sweet. The story and intentions of how you came into our lives may be false, but your love and emotions are true. I won't lie to you, I was a little angry at first when I found out you lied to us like that! But how can I judge you illy knowing had I been in your shoes I would, have done the same thing. The others will understand just as I have."
"You really think so? Even Syaoran?"
"Especially Syaoran! Because he loves you."
"Oh Femei I knew I could trust you and you would understand!" Sakura cried as she embraced her.
Femei got up and began pacing around. "I got it! You will tell Syaoran after the ball! Then Li can marry you on the same day we all get married."
"All of the Li children married in one day." How cute Sakura agreed.
Femei giggled as she looked up at Sakura. "Here I thought that my powers didn't work all that well on you because of your amnesia but I think I just figured it out! You used Shield to block my powers!"
Sakura nodded her head. "Here I'll call off Shield and you may use all of your powers." Sakura did.
Femei sensed trouble ahead for her friend, a long happy life though and… Femei paled. "Sakura we need to talk!"

AN: Cliffhanger I know. But it keeps the story interesting. I only have one more chapter to write! "The Ball" As weird as it sounds I already finished the last two chapters after chapter 6. So once six comes out I only have to touch up on 7 (The Escape) and 8 (Confessions of the Heart) and then my story will be done! Thank God! Sorry it took so long to get 4 and 5 out. I've just been busy. Preparing for a new puppy, Band camp, school shopping, and dying, and fixing up my hair for school so it's nice n' pretty in three weeks when school starts up again! Thank you all for your wonderful reviews other then my horrible spelling and grammar they have been nothing but praises. I hope you are enjoying my story so far.
