Kero: "Yah, yah! They know already! Why do you have to keep repeating it?
Daphne: ignores him and looks at her clock "Oh, no! I only have eight hours to get ready! I have to go! Kero will tell you the story!"

Chapter 7.
"Kero! Guess what!" Sakura rushed into her new bed-chamber, her eyes sparkling. Kero listened patiently as Sakura described her conversation with Queen Yelan.
"…And then she asked me to call her Yelan, but I couldn't do that, of course. So then she finally told me to call her Lady Yelan. Of course, she is not really a Lady, but I refused to call her anything less royal. Even 'Lady' is stretching it." Sakura said excitedly. Kero smiled and looked thoughtful.
"Sakura…did you notice that the royal family has magic?" Kero asked. Sakura nodded.
"I did. Her Maj…I'm sorry, Lady Yelan has a very kind aura, all yellow! And the Prince…"
"His is green, I know. Sakura, we have to be careful here. If they find out…"
"Sakura! You'll never guess who has come!" Came Tomoyo's voice. Kero immediately dropped onto the floor, just as Tomoyo came skidding into the room.
"Touya's come! He has finally come! You have to meet him!" Tomoyo cried, grabbing Sakura's hand and dragging her to the Throne-room.
"But what if he doesn't want to meet me?" Sakura asked hesitantly as she caught sight of the queen and her son. A soft chuckle rang out behind them.
"Who wouldn't want to meet you?" A voice asked. Tomoyo turned around and smiled widely. A tall young man with dark brown hair and brown eyes looked down at the two girls. He looked to be about twenty-five years old.
"Touya! There you are! Touya, this is my friend Sakura." Tomoyo exclaimed. At these words, Touya gave a start and stared at Sakura.
"What is your name?" He asked, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Sakura smiled uncertainly and looked at Queen Yelan, who smiled and nodded.
"My name, Highness, is Sakura." She answered, giving a small curtsey.
'She looks so much like…NO! It has been too long! She is probably dead for all we know!' Touya thought, and then shook himself.
"Nice to meet you, Sakura! May I introduce my father, King Fujitaka." Touya bellowed. Sakura smiled and looked at the man indicated. This man was much older. He had light brown hair, streaked with gray, and kind brown eyes. King Fujitaka quickly came forward and took Sakura's hand.
"It is very nice to meet you, Sakura. I am sorry for my son's rudeness." The King looked back and glared at his son, who shot a small smile back. "You see, I used to have a daughter, and her name was Sakura as well. In fact, she would be about your age now." The King's face turned sad and Sakura felt sorry for the older man.
"Well, if I may be so bold as to say so, Your Majesty, she has been very deprived not to have a father like you." Sakura whispered in a sympathetic voice. The King smiled down at her.
"Prince Touya! Your here!" Shrieked Meiling, running into the room. Touya's smile grew at the sight of the girl and he quickly moved forward to kiss her hand.
"Princess Meiling! A pleasure to see you again!" He said, as a small blush rose up in Meiling's cheeks. Tomoyo let out a secretive giggle.
"Meiling fancies him!" She whispered to Sakura and the King. King Fujitaka smiled.
"The feeling is mutual, I believe." He chuckled. Then he turned to Sakura. "Tell me, Sakura. Do you read?" He asked. Sakura nodded vigorously.
"Yes, Majesty, I love to read!" She answered eagerly.
"Then, would you be so kind as to come and read a book with me? It is a wonderfully told story, and I do wish that I had someone to talk it over with." The King said wistfully. Sakura's beautiful smiled bloomed out and she nodded.
"I would love that, Majesty!" She exclaimed, her eyes shining. Fujitaka offered her his arm and then led her out of the room.
~*~*~*~
"Where did Sakura go?" Eriol asked Tomoyo, as he and Syaoran came up behind her. She smiled.
"I believe that the King was quite taken with her. He asked her to read a book with him, and they've gone to the library." Tomoyo explained. Eriol grinned.
"No one can meet Sakura without liking her, ne, Syaoran?" Eriol teased the Prince. Tomoyo grinned and elbowed him. Eriol blushed a little when she did this, and looked away.
"The Great Eriol is blushing. The world is coming to an end." Syaoran stated, in a toneless voice. This mad Eriol blush even more, and even caused Tomoyo to blush a bit.
"No! The world would only come to an end if YOU smiled, Xiaolang!" Eriol hissed. Suddenly, his face changed.
"Syaoran…"
"Yes! I feel it too! It's the Huns, and they are after Sakura!" Syaoran exclaimed, turning to his mother. "Mother! It's the Huns! Rally the troops and make sure they are ready to go within a week." Syaoran commanded.
~*~*~*~
*Two weeks later*
"It has all happened too fast! What if something bad happens to them?" Meiling cried, throwing herself onto Tomoyo's bed. The troops had left a week before, lead by King Fujitaka, Prince Touya, Prince Syaoran, and Lord Eriol. Tomoyo and Sakura watched the distraught girl solemnly. During the last week, Sakura had become quite close to King Fujitaka, and his sudden departure saddened. Her.
"I am sure that everything is going to be all right." Tomoyo soothed, "there is only one thing that still confuses me, though. Why on earth are the Huns attacking, and why do they want Sakura?" All through this speech, Sakura had been silent, but now she sighed.
"I know why. Can you two keep a secret?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo and Meiling sat up straighter and nodded. "It is because I have magic. I have the Clow Cards." Sakura explained. The other girls eyes widened in shock. They knew about the Clow Cards. In fact, they had both grown up hearing about the Clow Cards almost every day! Suddenly, a small, yellow teddy-bear looking thing popped out of Sakura's pocket and drifted up to her face.
"'Sakura Cards', Sakura! They are 'Sakura Cards' now!" Kero reminded her, turning to the other two girls. "Hey! I'm Cerberus, Guardian Beast of the Seal; And you don't have to tell me who you are! I go almost everywhere with Sakura!" Kero explained. Sakura smiled.
"You see, I transformed the Clow Cards into my own type of cards, the 'Sakura Cards'. This is what the Huns are after, I'm sure of it!" Sakura said. The shock had worn off a bit, and the other two girls were able to talk.
"So, your magic is like Eriol's!" Tomoyo exclaimed clapping her hands and smiling. Sakura looked at her in confusion, but Kero nodded.
"The young man who is the half-reincarnated form of Clow Reed? Yes it is, except Sakura's magic is a bit stronger than his, now." Kero gloated, looking proudly at his mistress. Sakura smiled uncertainly.
"Well, if Lord Eriol is only half of Clow Reed, who is the other half?" Sakura asked. Meiling grinned.
"Why, King Fujitaka, of course!" She said, giggling at Sakura's shocked face.
"So, it must have been Eriol that made the bracelet fly onto my wrist like that!" Sakura cried, and then clapped her hands to her mouth, as she realized that she had just told on him.
"You mean, you didn't really steal that bracelet? Eriol…OH! That is just like him, too!" Meiling laughed, falling back onto the bed.
"And you never said a word! Oh, Sakura!" Tomoyo ran forward and hugged Sakura. "You let yourself take the blame!" At these words, Sakura pulled away and gave Tomoyo a tight smile.
"Tomoyo, this war is because of me, and for once, I refuse to take the blame. If it is me the Huns want, it is me that they are going to get! Me at my best!" A sly, very un-like Sakura, sparkle rose in Sakura's eyes. Tomoyo and Meiling immediately understood what she was planning to do, and Tomoyo let out a happy cry.
"Finally! A chance to use these!" She cried, running over to her wardrobe and pulling out three beautiful dresses. "This one is for you, Sakura, and this one is for Meiling." Tomoyo said, handing each girl their dress. Sakura looked at hers and gaped. It was royal-blue satin, with a full skirt and a low, squared neckline. The bodice was laced up in the front with slim white ribbons and white lace bordered the neckline. The satin sleeves reached down to just below the elbow, and then ended in a scoop of lace that wet down to the wrists. (a/n: A SCOOP is where the lace is short at the seam, but then it lengthens as it gets to the back and then shortens again, kind of like a candy scooper, if you have ever seen one of those.) Meiling's dress was silver satin. It was almost exactly like Sakura's except the bodice didn't lace up in front and the neckline was boat-shaped. Tomoyo's was a mint-green silk, the same as the others except it was embroidered with a feathery leaf design. Tomoyo then did the other girls hair. Sakura's was pulled back into a half ponytail, Meiling's was braided and twined around her head, and Tomoyo's was pulled back with two amethyst- studded hair combs.
"We are ready to go, now." Tomoyo said at last. Sakura smiled at her and pulled out her wand.
"Oh, Key of My Star…"
~*~*~*~
"King Fujitaka, you and Prince Touya go to the far zone, and Eriol and I will take the nearer one." Prince Syaoran said, pointing at a map in front of him. The other three men nodded in agreement, and then made their way to the horses.
"Until next we meet, Prince Syaoran." King Fujitaka said, getting onto his horse and riding away, followed by his son. Syaoran raised his hand in a solute.
"Until next we meet, King Fujitaka." He returned, getting onto his own horse. He and Eriol quickly made their way to the planned place, and met their troops. After a few hours of waiting, the enemy attacked! With loud cries and sharp yelps, they threw themselves into the fray. Swords crashed all around and shields blocked blows. Men fell to the ground like flies and lay still.
Eriol and Syaoran slashed their way through anything that attacked them. Loud cries rang out, and screams of men were heard. Suddenly, something made Syaoran look up into the sky, and his jaw dropped. Above them hovered three girls. Two were standing on a bubble-like thing, and the other was floating along side them with her own pair of wings. Syaoran felt something sharp cut into his arm, but he paid no heed. Suddenly, the girls began to descend and stopped only inches above the heads of the warriors. Men from both armies caught sight of them and stopped fighting, too astounded to do anything. One of the girls raised a wand-like thing and said some words. Suddenly, all of the soldiers fell to the ground, and began snoring! There was a roar of laughter and a large lion came into view, landing in the middle of the battle grounds.
"You see, Sakura! I told you the Sleep Card would work!" The lion laughed, looking up at the three floating girls. At the name 'Sakura' Syaoran looked around shock. Sakura was here?!
"Ha! They didn't even see it coming!" Shrilled Meiling's voice.
"That was fun! Can we do it again?" Came another. Tomoyo's. Eriol looked up in shock and a small grin came to his face. The third girl raised her staff again, whispered a few words, and then all of the Huns disappeared! Eriol's smile got bigger.
"I see that you know Sakura's secret! So tell me. What do you think?" He asked his eyes sparkling. The three girls landed on the ground, and both the wings and the bubble disappeared. Syaoran's mouth dropped open as he finally understood what was happening.
"You are the Cards Mistress?!" He asked incredulous. Sakura gave him a sweet smile.
"Why, yes! And this is Cerberus, Guardian of the Sakura Ca…" Suddenly, Sakura trailed off and started to sway. Syaoran quickly rushed forward and caught her before she hit the ground. Sakura was out cold.
"What is wrong with her?" Tomoyo asked, looking panicky. Eriol smiled gently.
"She used four cards at one time. That takes up a lot of her energy. Don't worry, she will be fine. But for now, I think that it is best if we all go home. Fujitaka and Touya are waiting for us at the Palace. I have all ready sent them." Eriol said. With that, he raised his own staff and transported them all back to the Li Palace.

Eli Hiiragizawa: "Hello! I know that I am not your normal storyteller, but Daphne and Kero are downstairs talking to my parents, so I thought that it would be safe to write a small note! I just want to say, that I have read Daphne's story and I really like it! Her other story, (the Original one) is good too! I am ashamed to say though, she has no idea that I have read them! If she did, I know for a fact that she wouldn't show her face in public again! Oh, well. Too bad I can't tell her in person how much I like her!"
Kero: "Gaki! What are you doing to Daphne's story!?"
Eli: "Nothing, Kero! Please don't tell her that I was writing on it! At least, not until later!"
Kero: "Fine, but we had better post this before she comes up! I will tell her I posted it for her."
Eli: "Kero, you are one great friend! By the way, to all you readers out there, keep reviewing! I know for a fact it really boosts up Daphne's spirits when she reads them!"
Kero: "Yah, yah! Now get out of here, twit!"
Kero: *snorts* "A little time?"
Daphne: *throbbing vein* "Yes, Kero, a little time. Now, I just want to remind you that CCS is not mine, it belongs to Clamp!
