Authors Notes: This is my first CCS fanfic, so please bare with me, and R&R. (
Sakura stared at her empty hands. What was she doing? Where was she? Her mind was gray, the flittering pictures in her mind disappeared a she tried to grasp them. She looked down at the creature before her, a yellow, winged little creature, looking up at her with concern.
"Sakura? Kid?" *Sakura, is that my name?" she thought. " What did you do? You used the Fade Card, didn't you?" *Fade? Card* "Sakura, listen to me, the Fade…well, it makes you fade away, first your memories, your personality, then you're just…gone. Fade's a dangerous card, it won't obey its master. Sakura, you're a card master, you have to wake up!" The lost girl lay down on the bed, curling up into a ball. *Card Master? * Yes, fleeting memories filled her mind, fading into the gray mist. Images of a boy, a girl with a camera, her brother, a strange animal…being with wings. She was confused, so confused, she tried to grab hold of the image, the boy. A name drifted into her mind, Li.
"Li, " Sakura weakly cried out.
"That's it, Sakura, try to remember. Li is your friend, he's a descendant of Clow Reed. Do you remember Clow Reed? Remember Li, when he helped with Time? Try to remember all you can," Kero murmured. More images came, a girl with grayish black hair, smiling, laughing, and singing. The camera, Sakura struggled to hold on to the pictures, fighting the Fade with the last strength she had left. She couldn't let it get her. She fought so many cards, she couldn't back out now…Meilin, two black buns. The fight card, the twin card, her everlasting devotion to Li. someone ran into the room, followed by more footsteps,
"Sakura?" A voice penetrated the gray in her mind. "Sakura, it's me, Li, madison is here too, look…"
"Sakura…we're here for you, we're not going to let his get you." Li's voice filled the room as he talked of old times, of the cards they captured, field trips, hanging out in the park, beneath the cherry trees, the petals floating softly down…she concentrated on that voice, it was pulling her out, out of the void. *Why does this person meet so much to me? * She wondered, her mind slowly starting to work again. She heard Li and Kero talking in the background. She picked up snatches of the conversation,
"Awake Card"
"Will it work…"
"Chancy…"
"No strength…'
"Has to…" She saw Li's face hovering over hers,
" Sakura, you have to try to transform the Awake Card, I know you're tired, but this is the only way." Words slowly formed out of the mist in her mind, she whispered them, her voice getting louder and stronger as she said the incantation:
"I call upon the power of my star,
Ancient forces near and far,
Awake card, discard all your former might,
And draw your power from my light!
Release!"
The card obeyed, clearing away the mists in its mistress' mind. Sakura gasped, as her mind was unveiled, remembering every thing. She sat up, looking from one person to another. Li, Madison and kero looked at her, seeing if it had worked. Then, Sakura smiled,, jumping up and hugging Madison, Li and Kero all at once. Li and Madison held her like they would never let go, and ouside, the sun rose, bringing light to a new day.

Sakura stood under the cherry trees, wacthing Li come nearer. She took a deep breath as he came and stood bside her her. She looked at him,
"Li, It was you, you were the one who found me." Li looked at her, "You pulled me out of my mind. You mean that much to me." She hugged the boy, who was still trying to figgure out what she had just said, then wrapped his arms around her, smiling,
"I love you too, " he whispered in her ear,
