"Damnit! It's an unknown card!" Kirei said.



"That's why neither Sakura or I sensed it." Syaoran whispered.



"That means she's probably not the same Sakura anymore...try opening the closet door...but stay as far back as possible. She'll attack the first person she sees. That's how it's been with all the others. Just watch out." Kacie warned. Syaoran moved forward to open the door. He grasped for the handle and turned it slowly, then opened it a crack. As soon as he opened it that little bit, the door flew open.........and nothing happened. They looked confused, then Syaoran poked he head in the closet.



"Eep!" he gasped and jerked his head back out, and following it was a black-eyed card mistress, with her sealing wand out in front of her.




"Sakura?" Tomoyo asked, and took a step towards her. Her friend didn't turn to face her, as she normally would if Tomoyo had questioned her. Instead, her eyes stayed glued to Syaoran.





"Syaoran, it's the fight card. It wants to fight you. Watch out, and don't hurt her. She will feel whatever you throw at her." Kacie said. Syaoran looked at her.




"You're starting to sound like the stuffed animal." He smirked, without taking his eyes of *Sakura*. Kacie rolled her eyes.



"Oh no. Not that. Anything but that." She said sarcastically. Kero grunted at her.



*Sakura* took a swipe at Syaoran with the sealing wand, and scowled when she missed him. She took a few more swipes, obviously missing him with each turn. She backed him into the corner of the living room (A/N: you know what I mean...I think...) and pressed the top of the sealing wand to his chest hard. He looked into her eyes - nothing. Just blackness...her once jade eyes were taken over by that alien color.



"I'm sorry I have to do this Sakura." He said, and then backhanded her across the side of her head. She landed on the ground hard, but managed to push herself up a bit. She blinked once, her eyes returning to their regular color. She looked at Syaoran, trembling.



"Syaoran...help..." Sakura managed to choke out before the card took over her body again.





~*Sakura (but not really in her point of view...third person I think...)*~





Being *possessed* was interesting...it was almost like a warm blanket that was wrapped around you...every time you tried to go against it, it was like being forced out of that blanket. This was how Sakura felt.



And she hated it.



It was horrible. This THING took over her body...she could still see out as if she was her normal self, but she couldn't do a thing. Every time she tried to move a part of her body, the card would send a powerful blast at her, and she would stop. She just sat there and watched as the card began to attack Syaoran. She sat there and watched as Syaoran backhanded her. She felt the card loose control over her and she blinked her eyes to come to focus on Syaoran.



"Syaoran...help me..." she choked out. The card pulled her back and re-took over her body, shaking its head. She felt herself be pulled up and take fierce swipes at him, knocking him sometimes. While he was bent over nursing a winded stomach (A/N: I know its not really in your stomach when you're winded, but it sure as hell feels that way.), the card floored him. She managed to catch a glimpse of the others in the room. They all stood in shock.



Kacie was running over to Syaoran, helping him up. This made Sakura angry. Well, more jealous then angry. She had just attacked her best friend, if not more, and now she had to watch her unspoken enemy comfort him. Now she really was angry. Not at Kacie, but at this card.



"No." she stated to it. "You will NOT take over my body without a fight. And you WILL NOT harm my friends against my will."



After that was...well, to state it simply...weird. It was almost as if the card was attacking her now. Not physically as much as mentally. It was trying to force her back...to take her power. She went against it, and felt her body drop to its knees.





~*Regular (well, how ever it was before...)*~





Syaoran was up now, back to how he was. The *fight card* was powerful. Usually it was hard to lay a finger on Syaoran, yet it was able to wind him easily.



"Sakura!"



He watched her fall to her knees and clutch her head in pain. The hand he held out to help her immediately fell back...he knew what she was doing...she was fighting it.



"Syaoran! Do SOMETHING!" he heard Tomoyo yell. He smiled at her.



"She's fighting it. Right now, there is nothing WE can do." Finishing, he heard Kirei shout out orders to Kacie.



"Get ready to capture it as soon as it leaves her! And kid." He said to Syaoran. "Be ready to catch your Sakura after Kacie captures it." Syaoran blushed when Kirei said 'YOUR Sakura' but took his place standing near the young card mistress in case something happened.



Without warning, that same blast of power that pushed Sakura into the closet seeped out of her in such a way that it took form of a distorted "fight card" with half it's form still in her body. Kacie lept to action.



"Unknown Clow Card! I, Kacie, command you to return to your true sealed form!" (A/N: yeah, I know it's corny, but I couldn't use the same one that Sakura did...I'm already being mean to her -_-') And the card was captured much like the way Sakura catches cards. The card was caught, and Sakura fell towards the ground, letting whatever breath she had left in her lungs fall out with a sigh as Syaoran caught her.





~*~*~*~*~






Hours passed and it was getting dark. Still, Sakura hadn't woken up.



"Tomoyo, I think you may have to cover for her...she'll have to spend the night here. Her brother already hates me enough. I don't need to show up at their house with a beaten down Sakura to top it all off."



Tomoyo stood up and with a nod, left. Syaoran turned to Meling.



"You'd better be going too." (A/N: okay, in my story, they don't live together, okay? Good.) Meling for once didn't complain. She just sighed and left. Syaoran already had his two special girls - Kacie and Sakura - he didn't need another one. (A/N: whoo - hoo! At least only Kacie will be in the way of S+S for a while, ne?) The door slammed shut, and Kacie turned to Syaoran.



"You really do care about her, don't you?"



Syaoran looked startled at this, and he didn't answer, but the concern in his eyes and the blush on his face were evidence enough.



"Well, I care about you too, you know." He said.



"Well, it's nice to know SOMEONE does. But I think you care about her a bit more then you do to me." And she stood up and marched into her designated room, leaving Syaoran to contemplate what she said.




Then Sakura woke up.




Well, rather, her eyes fluttered open a bit, and she let out a startled "hoe?" which got Syaoran's attention.



"Sakura, are you okay?" he asked, immediately running to her side.

"It was so cold." Was all she could mutter out. She was shivering, but she took a few breaths before continuing. "Being possessed...it was so...so...alien. It was like it was invading everything that was ever personal to me...it could read my thoughts, I knew...it was horrible." With that she began to sob.

"Ssh...Sakura...everything is going to be alright. I promise." He lifted her chin and wiped away her tears.

"...arigato..." she whispered. Their faces were only inches apart...then Syaoran leaned in...
