What happened before:

During Yakusoro and Sakura's battle, Syaoran pops up with news that shocks them all. After saying goodbye to her Uncle (Yakusoro), Skaura and Syaoran return to the world of the living, to their worried friends.

"Come back with us." Sakura said, holding one hand out, the other hooked to Syaoran's.

Yakusoro shook his head, smiling sadly. "I cannot face your father, because of all the things I've done."

"He will understand."

"No." Yakusoro protested. "Perhaps I will stay here. It is a nice place to stay. I am old and awaiting my death. I will go join Nadeshiko soon."

Sakura nodded. The tears clearly shown in her eyes. "When you do, tell her I love her."

"Tell your father that I am sorry." Sakura nodded. Then Yakusoro spoke to Syaoran. "Tell your family, that I am sorry as well." Syaoran nodded and smiled. Of course I will, Uncle Yaku." He said, calling Yakusoro uncle.

Yakusoro smiled mischievously. "You picked a nice one." He gently teased Syaoran. "Good-bye."

Syaoran blushed and Sakura looked over at her two companions in confusion. Then she smiled. "Good-bye." Taking out one card, she transported them back to their own world.

"Until we meet again."

And now onto the story:

"I hope they get back safely...." Meilin whispered, looking out of one of Sakura's windows. The sky was bright and there were no clouds to cover the sun. It shone brightly, opposite to the mood which was in the Kinomoto household.

"I am certain that they are fine." Chi Yuen said, gently placing his arms around Meilin's waist and hugging her from behind.

"Yah." Rei agreed. "Don't lose your faith in them yet."

Chung nodded. He was about to reach for the stereo to play some music when they were blinded by a white flash. They all closed their eyes to block away the light. When the friends opened their eyes, they saw two figures dropped in the middle of the room.

One dark-haired figure pushed himself up. "You need more practice, Kinomoto." Dusting himself off, he motioned for the other figure to give him her hand and pulled her up.

"Well, sorry." The golden brown haired girl retorted. "I didn't see you do any better." She said.

"Oh well. At least it got us back." The boy answered.

Before they had a chance to move any more, the two people were smoothered (is that a word?) by several flying figures which latched themselves onto the surprised girl and her friend.

"AH!"

Sakura and Syaoran found themselves back onto the white carpeted floor, which thankfully softened their landing.

"SAKURA!" The surprised Card Mistress heard her name and fell back with a tiny squeak.

"Never do that again!" Meilin shouted then hugged Sakura tightly.

"I'm sorry..." Sakura apologized to her friends, hugging each one of them.

Syaoran had gotten up so that he would not be squashed by the pile of bodies on the bed.

"You're back!" There was a pat on his back as Auri thumped his back not too lightly.

Syaoran winced but answered his football playing friend. "Yeah."

"So what did happen?" Chi Yuen asked, curious over what had happened in the other world.

Chung nodded. "We need to know every single detail!!" He bounced, not wanting to miss anything about the Kinomoto family.

Syaoran went to sit beside Sakura again and the friends crowded around them, asking many questions.

Sakura started the story to the very first thing she could remember. She told them about how Yakusoro Li, one of Syaoran and Meilin's descendants first fell in love with Nadeshiko, to her and Yakusoro's battle and how it ended.

"...so that's why Uncle wanted his revenge." Sakura finished.

"You mean it was a family feud the whole time?" Chung asked. Sakura nodded to his question.

"So what happened to Yakusoro now?" Rei asked.

Sakura smiled sadly. "I tried to convince him to come back with us, but he said that he didn't want to cause any trouble and he was afraid to face my father after what he has done, so he stayed in the made-up world." She looked up to the ceiling. "I really hope he'll be okay there..."

Syaoran gently hugged the sad Card Mistress. "I'm sure that he'll be fine. He'll meet your mother up there soon."

Sakura smiled softly. "Yeah..."

There was a bit of silence before Ayuna noticed that Syaoran had his arm around Sakura, even though they had stopped hugging awhile ago. Her grey eyes lit up with some kind of light that looked suspiciously like Tomoyo's camcorder's blinking red light. "You're together now!" She exclaimed happily.

Sakura and Syaoran blushed as everyone looked towards them and stared. "WHAT?!" They asked in unison.

"AWWW!!!" Meilin and Rei's eyes lit up as well. "That's so cute!"

If possible, Syaoran and Sakura turned even more red.

Then Auri pulled out a camcorder. "Say 'cheese!'" He said, videotaping them.

Everyone laughed as Sakura and Syaoran tried to hide behind each other. They were still laughing when they heard loud footsteps running up the stairs and towards their room.

Everyone freaked out, except for Sakura, who ran towards the door in joy.

That someone on the outside threw open the door and the friends looked into the big eyes of a giant yellow cat with wings. "SAKURA!" He growled.

Syaoran reached for his sowrd, but before he pulled it out, Sakura shouted outloud. "KERO-CHAN!" She threw her arms around the giant lion as it purred and licked her cheek. "You're alive!" He roared with happiness.

"Kero?" Syaoran put away his sword. This is that small stuff animal that he had met before? He was so... big.

"You mean Keroberos?" Chung said, remembering his little research on the Clow Cards, after they found out about them. His girlfriend, Fay, gaped at the sight of the Card Mistress and her loyal guardian, still hugging each other. "He's magnificant!" She gasped. She never thought that Keroberos was so wonderful.

Sakura turned back to her friends. "Kero, I want you to meet all my friends." She introduced each one of them. The she pointed to the giant lion. "This is Keroberos, guardian of the Clow Cards, now Sakura Cards."

Kero shook his mane. "Nice to meet you all." He smiled, showing pointy teeth.

Sakura saw the panicked looks on her friends's faces and laughed. "Don't worry. He won't hurt you as long as you don't get inbetween the buffet table and him."

Her friends began to loosen up and they inched forward. Ayuna was the first to pat the giant guardian on the head, scratching behind his ears. Kero purred. She smiled happily. "You're so big!"

"Powerful and strong too." Kero said.

Sakura smirked. "Full of himself too." She whispered quietly to Syaoan who laughed.

Auri was walking around the giant cat, who sat on his hind legs and videotaped the magnificant creature. "This will be such a good movie!" He said, with stars in his eyes. "I'll just make Sakura and Syaoran some costumes and it'll be perfect!" He said, deep in thought.

Sakura sweatdropped. "That's nice..." She said to the ecstatic boy who was still waving his arms around deciding how to set the room up.

Then she turned her attention to Kero, who was loving the attention he got from his new friends. "Where's otousan??" Sakura asked, wondering why her father had not come up.

"Right here, Saki." A voice said from the doorway. Everyone turned their heads towards the door and Sakura gasped at the sight.

Her father stood at the door with her brother.

"Otousan! I missed you!" Sakura said, fling her arms around his tall figure. Fujitaka smiled. "Hello, Sakura. I missed you too. I'm glad you're okay." He whispered in her ear.

As Sakura withdraw her arms from around her father's neck, she noticed the red blinking light of a camcorder. "Nani?" She asked. It couldn't be Auri, because he was still waving his arms around, blabbering about the decoration of the room, for his movie. So the only other person could be...

Sakura's eyes widened as she took in the purple hair and the bright grey eyes. "Tomoyo-chan...." She whispered.

"Sakura-chan..." Her best friend said, then threw herself on Sakura, who hugged the best friend whom she hadn't seen for 3 years. "I missed you so much!" Tomoyo cried.

Sakura smiled. "I missed you too..."

Untangling their arms, they pulled away and Tomoyo took a look at Sakura's new friends. She bowed low. "I'm Daidouji Tomoyo. Nice to meet you."

The group of friends smiled. "Nice to meet you too!"

Then Tomoyo noticed the camcorder in Auri's hands and she saw that it was on. Her eyes lit up. "Hey!" She pointed to the surprised Auri. "You're Auri, right?"

Auri nodded. "Yeah. Hi Tomoyo."

Tomoyo pointed to the camcorder in his hand. "Is that yours?" When Auri nodded, her eyes sparkled. "Great!" She reached for the camcorder, her's forgotten on the bed.

"Hey!" Watch it!" Auri said. He didn't want some girl wreaking her camcorder. He stopped when he saw that she knew exactly what she was doing and that she had started watching everything from the beginning of when Sakura first came to their school.

"KAWAII!" Tomoyo said when she saw the part where Syaoran lifted Sakura up when she had fainted. Auri smiled and he and Tomoyo started a very lively conversation on how cute Sakura and Syaoran were together.

Sakura sweatdropped and turned back to her father. Then she saw someone else behind him. "Nani! Touya!"

Her older brother smiled at her but then almost fell over as Sakura glomped him. "Kaijuu, watch it!" He teased.

"I'm not a monster!" Sakura yelled then flattened her brother's foot, smiling evilly.

Syaoran, who was beside her, winced as he thought he heard some bones cracking. "Sakura." He placed one hand on Sakura's shoulder soothingly.

Touya immediately switched his attention from Sakura to Syaroan. "Who are you and what are you doing to my sister?!" He threatened.

Syaoran gulped and took his hand away from Sakura's shoulder. "I'm Syaoran..." He said. He wasn't scared of Touya, but he was scared of what he could do. Sakura's brother was so much taller then him and his glare was very strong. Worst then Syaoran's death glare.

"Touya-chan. Stop intimidating Sakura's boyfriend." A voice which Sakura hadn't heard from awhile spoke.

Sakura brightened up. "Yukito-san!" She ran up to the bluish grey haired boy and hugged him, making Syaoran stop his glaring contest with Touya and look miffed at this Yukito for being so close to *his* Sakura.

"Hey Sakura-chan." Yukito greeted her. And as all of Sakura's friends watched, amazed, Yukito sprouted wings and changed from Yukito to Yue.

Rei stared at the moon guardian. "Wow..." She said.

Auri grabbed his camcorder from Tomoyo and started to stalk around Yue, catching every part of him on tape.

"Yue-chan!" Sakura said. Yue smiled slightly. Very slightly and allowed his mistress to envolope him in a suffocating hug. "I'm glad Touya has been taking care of you."

Yue nodded. "I'm glad to see that you are well, my mistress."

Sakura nodded. Then catching all of her friends' stares, she introduced everyone to them. "You know Clow Reed had made two guardians. Well, this is Yue, the other guardian of the Cards." Pointing to Touya, who broke off his glare with Syaoran to grin at her friends, she said, "This is my onichan, Touya and that's his best friend and lover, Yukito."

Everyone greeted each other and they moved top the Kinomoto's giant living room and sat down, chatting to each other. Wang, and some other servants of the house brought tea and many tiny delicasies for everyone to try.

Sakura and Syaoran explained everything to the newer arrivals.

"I forgave him a long time ago..." Fujitaka said when they mentioned Uncle Yakusoro.

Sakura smiled. "I'm glad."

Touya thought for a while. He knew who everyone was, but he still didn't know what Syaoran was doind with his arm around Sakura's waist. Then something that Yukito had said snapped back to his memory and he started. "NANI?!"

Sakura jumped, with everyone else in the room. Her brother could be really loud when he wanted to be.

"He's your boyfriend?!!!" Touya yelled, his face starting to get red.

Sakura winced. "Um... yeah..." She said in a small voice, plugging her ears so that she wouldn't have to hear the rest of Touya's ranting.

"YOU ARE DATING THIS FREAK EXCUSE OF A GUY??!!!!" He yelled, making every wince.

"Oh no..." Tomoyo whispered. She knew exactly what was going to come next. The last time a guy asked Sakura out, Touya spent the rest of the day chasing the poor guy. "Syaoran, run!" She said.

Syaoran took her advice and ran out the door. Touya ran after him, intent on killing our chestnut-haired bishounen. Yukito, who had changed back from Yue ran after his best friend, berating him and trying to get him off Syaoran's case. "Touya, calm down!"

Meilin laughed. Her cousin was really funny when he put his mind to it. Or rather his feet.

"I guess I should save him..." Sakura said thoughtfully.

"Should is the key word here." Chung said.

Sakura nodded. "Hai..."

Everyone burst out in laughter as they listened to Yukito, Touya and Syaoran chase each other.
