Hello here is another attempt to improve Can't Lose You Now. I hope you like it and will let me know what you think. And how I can improve upon it.

I don't own the characters of Card Captor Sakura and I don't have delusions that I do, although I wouldn't mind owning some of them. : )

In this story there a few years older around 15. This story kind of mixes up the way the events take place. She hasn't gone up against Yue yet or captured the last card yet. But she does have a lot of the cards the erase card and the camping trip just came later. Knowing that I hope you'll still read it and that you like it.

Can't Lose You Now

"Do you want all of us to stay gone!?"

Syaoran roughly spoke to Sakura, as he continued to slowly disappear. She closed her eyes to concentrate on where the card was hiding. She finally got a lock on it, and ran towards the shrine in the middle of the small island. She quickly opened the doors and the card's form came misting out.

"Return to the guise that you were meant to be in…Clow Card!" She yelled.

The usual swirls of light formed as it returned to its card form. "Erase card" she said out loud.

"Syaoran. "

She gasped, as she was frozen in place. She had suddenly looked up at him and was surprised when he was still disappearing, faster now.

"Syaoran, what's happening to you?" She cried.

"I really don't know," he said in a cool and unwavering tone, staring straight at her.

She looked at the card in her hand, 'there was something off about it' she thought to herself.

"Syaoran, I don't think this was the true Erase card" she spoke quickly to his vanishing form.

She gave him a worried look, then returned her gaze to the card looking at it closely. There's something, she inspected it even more closely. There's something on it, there's a black aura around it, it's barely visible but it's there. She noticed,

"There is something around it."

She looked towards Syaoran again putting the urgency back in the situation. Syaoran had vanished significantly. All that remained was a portion of his upper chest, part of his right shoulder, his left arm and his head. She felt an unfamiliar pain as he was vanishing. He held out his hand to her and she was quickly at his side, holding his hand as he vanished out of sight.

"Syaoran. "

She whispered. When he was gone she felt a weird sensation come over her. She quickly looked around and noticed that all her classmates and teachers were lying around her unconscious. She felt they were fine, so she made her way out of the cave. She felt a pain as she thought about Syaoran disappearing. She ran as fast and as carefully as she could out of the cave and to the beach. As she ran towards a little restaurant on the beach she started to sob.

'Please be working, please be working' she chanted to herself as she ran towards the eatery. As she continued on her sobs were slowly lessening. By the time she entered the diner they were merely whimpers. She barged through the doors, receiving weird looks from the eating customers, and some staff. A young man who looked only a few years older than herself approached her.

"May I help you?"

"I- I need Yukito!"

She said demandingly, with out any emotion to her words.

"Yukito Tsukishiro?"

The young man questioned. She just gave him an annoyed nod.

"Yeah, he's out b… Yukito-kun come here"

He yelled loudly. Quickly Yukito came out from the back room, with his usual bright smile, which didn't seem to phase Sakura. His bright smile remained until he realized who was standing next to his co-worker.

"Sakura-chan."

In a moment he was by her side

"What's the matter?"

He asked with concern in his voice.

"I need to get to Kero."

She again answered emotionlessly. Yukito noticed something was wrong with her, he wasn't quite sure what, but he was worried.

"Kazui, can you take over for me for a little while?"

He asked kindly

"I have to take her home."

He finished with more urgency in his voice.

"Yes, go ahead"

He rose from his kneeled position next to Sakura, and led her to his car. Once they reached it they got in and were quickly on their way to her home. "May I ask what happened, it must have to do with the card if you need Kero.

(Yukito learned about Sakura, Syaoran, and the cards by accident, much like Tomoyo.

~FLASHBACK~

Yukito was on his way to the Kinomoto residence to see Touya, from the library. He went through the woods that night because he was in a hurry and the woods at dusk were beautiful. When he noticed small flames, he ran towards them to see what had happened. As he got a little closer he heard a familiar voice. "Return to the guise that you were meant to be in…" "Clow card" she finished. He continued forward to see if it was whom he thought he heard. He saw a swirl of fire turn into a card and hover in front of Sakura. He then noticed 2 figures swirl and turn into cards. Sakura felt a little tired after having used both windy and watery she collapsed to her knees but soon regained composure. Syaoran was at her side complimenting her on her capture. Kero was too. Yukito was concerned so he cautiously approached the three. Syaoran noticed him first as a fierce blush stained his cheeks; he would have taken off running if not that he was helping Sakura to her feet. Sakura looked at a reddened Syaoran then looked towards the direction he was staring. "Ahh," she squeaked. "Yukito, what are you doing here??" "I was on my way to your house to see Touya actually. What is going on?" She gave him a peculiar look. After some coaxing and a promise not to tell anyone, even Touya she told him everything.

~END FLASHBACK~)

She uneasily began to tell him about her school trip, and how people had been disappearing, and she successfully captured the Erase card and everyone returned and was alright. She paused for a moment and continued speaking in her emotionless tone.

"Before I located the card Li-kun was disappearing too. And when I sealed the card he didn't return, he kept vanishing."

She took out the card and looked at it, a strange feeling came over her as she thought of Syaoran leaving. Only to fade away seconds later.

"I wasn't able to help him."

Emotion entered her voice once more but soon left as abruptly.

"You care about him?"

Yukito made it sound more like a statement than a question.

"No."

She answered flatly. Yukito was very disheartened by listening to the young girl he saw as his own little sister.

"Were here."

The cheerful but concerned sound of Yukito's voice broke through the silence. Sakura slowly got out of his car shutting his door behind her. She made her way to her house followed by Yukito.

"Kero."

She called out dimly. Kero groggily came down stairs, whining because he was napping quite comfortable. Kero stopped short looking at his sorceress; there was something wrong. He looked at her but couldn't quite figure out what's wrong.

"Sakura aren't you supposed to be on a school trip today?"

I was, but something happened, she said emotionlessly cool.

"What?"

Kero yelled.

"When the courage test started people started to disappear. Then it was Tomoyo-chan' and my turn. Tomoyo noticed after Mr. Tereda, no teachers tried to scare us and also no students were returning. When we got to the bridge we heard screaming and when we got there we saw Rika, and Chiheru disappear. Then when we were going back to get our teachers Tomoyo disappeared setting the bridge on fire. Then I ran into Li-kun. When we got back to the shrine with the help of float, he started to disappear too. I concentrated and found the card in the shrine, and I sealed it everyone returned, when I turned to look at Li-kun he was still disappearing. Until he was gone."

She finished and placed her empty gaze back on Kero, who was taking in everything she said.

"Oh yeah there was something else too"

Kero broke out of his thoughts as he saw the card she pulled out.

"It has a faint… whaa.… it has a black aura around it. It was lighter earlier."

She spoke still emotionlessly. A shocked but knowing look came upon his face.

"Do you know what it is, Kero?"

"Is it even the real erase card or some kind of copy?"

"It can't be,"

Kero whispered to himself.

"What?"

Yukito questioned.

"Void"

Sakura turned her empty eyes back to her guardian.

"What is Void, Kero?"

He looked at her in thought.

"Sakura I love you."

He said as a comment. She looked at him very strangely and never spoke. Yukito was very curious now as to what was going on. But suddenly he heard someone open the door.

"Sakura-chan, are you home?"

Yukito, Sakura, Kero all returned downstairs, you Yukito to see whom was at the door and Sakura and Kero went into the kitchen.

Yukito looked out a window then saw a limousine pull away. He went to the front door, opening it to see a young girl about Sakura's age in front of him with long dark gray hair,

"Tomoyo-chan right??"

He asked triumphantly sure he got the right name and was rewarded by a bright grin.

"Yep"

He smiled back at her and invited her in, Maybe you can help Kero, and I. She looked at him till they made it to the kitchen.

"Do you know who we are?"

Kero asked as Yukito entered the room followed by Tomoyo.

"Of coarse, Yukito Tsukishiro, friend of her big brother, and Kero guardian beast of the seal."

She finished flatly. Kero flew up to his sorceress

"But we're also your friends, as well as Tomoyo-chan, and Li-kun."

She gave them an exasperated look, what are you talking about.

"Do you know who I am Sakura-chan?"

Tomoyo asked hopeful.

"Yes you are Tomoyo"

she answered curtly.

"Do you remember Naoko-chan, Chiheru-chan, Yamazki-kun, or Rika-chan?"

"I know who they are but that doesn't mean much to me"

"But we're all your friends as well as Li-kun."

She sighed exasperatedly

"I don't know why I'd need any friends so how can I have any?"

She finished.

"Kero, what's void?"

She again questioned impatiently.

"It's an entity that attaches to cards, it doesn't do anything to the card it's self but when the card affects a person to some extent so does void. But it usually just makes them unhappy and miserable. Until it leaves the Card."

He stopped for a moment.

"But it's sealed now."

Sakura interjected.

"That's the problem. It's not a Clow card it wasn't meant to be sealed, at least with another card, and since it was, it has taken your most treasured emotion."

He stated gravely.

"How can an entity take anything from me, what is it, it's taken from me? And what does it have to do with Syaoran?"

She asked in an intrigued but emotionless tone.

"Well by itself the it voids, or displaces the captors most precious emotion, 'Love'."

He paused for a moment then continued.

"But since it was captured bonded with the Erase card, it must be using erase some how. Using Erases abilities while it changes itself. Not much is really known about it. But in order to recover it you have to discover your love and then recapture both Erase, and Void."

He finished. After a few moments of quiet Yukito spoke.

"I have to get going back to work. It's getting late."

He paused a moment.

"When do you think Touya will be home?"

"I'm not sure."

She stated.

"Well I'll be by later. Tomoyo can I offer you a ride?"

She looked at Sakura who was looking at her blankly.

"Yes, Thank you very much Yukito-san. Well, good bye Sakura-chan"

"Bye."

She mumbled. Yukito put his hands on her shoulders.

"We're going to help you Sakura-chan!"

She tried to pull out from his grasp. He felt hurt but understood. He shortly left; Tomoyo gave her a hug trying to reassure her that it'll all be ok. She quickly followed in suite and left. She felt awfully tired so she went up to her room. She looked at her watch and noticed it was almost 3:00. She lay in her bed and quickly found herself a sleep.

~DREAM~

Peoples faces kept flashing through her mind, people she new but didn't know her connections to. (Syaoran, Tomoyo, Yukito, Rika, Yamazki, Naoko, Chiheru) shortly after the images subsided she was eating a picnic with Tomoyo, Rika, Naoko, Chiheru. They were eating the delicious food that was made, gossiping talking and laughing. Then suddenly the scene changed and Sakura was left alone, in blackness. Until she was sitting on the ground with a big scrape on her knee from where Syaoran pushed her to the ground. Big brother and Syaoran were having a glaring match. "If you ever touch my little sister again, I'll hurt you myself." Syaoran made a motion to leave in the direction of Sakura but Touya stopped him from advancing further. Sakura watched her brothers bout' of protectiveness with a look of amusement. The scene again blackened she floated in the darkness for a long while. While she was floating she felt like a piece of her was missing. She could feel a faint pain in her chest then she heard a faint whisper. "Monster, Monster" till a voice yelled. "Squirt!"
