Rosetta: Yah, Sakura has been through a lot. So much happens to her…I feel so bad doing this to her and stuff! But I need something to keep the story moving on.

As she slept another dream came to her. She…no…Kinomoto Sakura was standing at the airport with Syaoran. They both still looked somewhat young…perhaps they were to be in sixth grade or somewhere around that age.
"I told you I would come back to you…" he whispered to her as he walked by.
"And I waited…" she whispered back.
He turned around and flashed her a quick smile…a smile that was saved only for her. Nobody else caught it but her. But this was the same smile that Syaoran had given her before everyday when she went to school (as Tenshi Sakura). The scene in front of her turned began to spin slowly around her and melt into a scene at the park. This time Kinomoto Sakura was swinging happily on one of the swings. For some reason it felt as if in this dream she would be able to move and talk instead of watching. She glanced down at her hands and to her surprise she was able to see and move her hands around.
Kinomoto Sakura jumped off her swing, "I have been expecting you."
"You're Kinomoto Sakura aren't you? I've seen your pictures in Syaoran's apartment," Sakura responded. She looked a little closer at this other Sakura and noticed that she was somewhat transparent. As if she has been waiting all this time to meet her."
"You have to listen closely because I don't have a lot of time. It is forbidden to talk with your past or future self. But I have made this one exception…because you need answers," Kinomoto Sakura said as she held up her palm. "We are the same, but we are different. You are I, and I am you. But that does not mean that you aren't still you and I'm not me."
"I don't understand."
"Put palm against mine," Kinomoto Sakura ordered. "Time is running out."
Sakura obeyed and placed her palm against Kinomoto Sakura's palm. A blinding pink light radiated from their contact that filled the park. When it disappeared, they were standing in what seemed like the middle of space.
"The universe has many different stars. Each star will grow until it will die out. However the remains of the star that has died will be gathered again to create a new star. The star is not exactly the same…in fact it may be very different. But it is still somewhat the same star because the same remains make it," Kinomoto Sakura explained as they zoomed in to witness the rebirth of a star. Time went by quickly where they stood although it seemed to move slowly. "You and I are like the rebirth of a star. When I died, my personality was gathered together again to create you. Created from the same person, you are not exactly like me. However we still share some of the same qualities."
"I understand a little better now… But how come I have memories of my past as well?"
"When a star is reborn, other pieces float in. Other forces will also help push the star back together. Without it there would be no star. During that time you have gained your own memories. During the three years between when I died and you were created, the universe changed to fit you in. People will remember you, and you will remember a past. In truth you are me…the Card Mistress."
The scene of the galaxy faded away into a dark never-ending space. Complete darkness with a pink circle glowing with strange symbols inside. Tenshi Sakura and Kinomoto Sakura stood in the very center of the circle…the symbol for the Sakura Cards.
"I have one request for you…" Kinomoto Sakura began as she began to fade away. "Look after Syaoran… If you end up not loving him…I can understand. Promise me." She held out her pinky finger.
Sakura grasped Kinomoto Sakura's pinky finger with her own, "I promise… But what about the Card Mistress…what exactly is that?"
Kinomoto Sakura was almost completely gone but she was able to whisper out, "I have awakened you…but the rest you must find out on your own. Find the guardians: Yue and Cerberus. It was nice meeting you, Sakura…"
With those last few words Kinomoto Sakura disappeared forever. Tenshi Sakura could now be complete…once she fully discovered the truth. When she disappeared, Sakura woke up from her dream, remembering every detail.
"Ugh…where am I?" she moaned as she opened her eyes. Quickly surveying her surroundings she remembered that she was in the elevator…
"Sakura! Sakura! Are you in there! Answer me!" Syaoran's voice shouted overhead.
She remembered her promise to Kinomoto Sakura, "Hai…I'm in here."
"Sakura? Do you see a latch at the top of the elevator car? Can you release it?"
"I'll try…" Sakura mumbled as she stood on the railing of the elevator car. She had often climbed many things because of where she had lived before… Especially running away from people. She easily released the latch and a door swung open. Syaoran jumped down from above, and hugged her.
"Sakura…I was so worried about you… Don't do that to me again. Please…" he whispered into her neck.
"Syao…" she began, but she remembered how much Kinomoto Sakura had loved him. She felt wrong to love him now…Kinomoto Sakura and Li Syaoran was the match made in heaven. Not her and Syaoran. "Li-kun…I'm fine."
He stepped back, scanning her eyes. She had put on a fake smile, and with much training she made her eyes shine with fake happiness that it looked real. "Sakura?"
"I've made a mistake…and I'm sorry. I would like to be friends with you…" she said in a smooth tone. Inside she begged that Syaoran would refuse to be just friends with her. [Syaoran! I'm so sorry…but…I feel as if I don't deserve you. But I still love you!]
Syaoran hung his head, "If that is what you want… Should I call you Tenshi-Chan…?"
She shook her head, "You can continue to call me Sakura."
"You could still call me Syaoran, you know."
"I know…but I think for now…I'll call you Li-kun… I'm sorry…"
"No, it's ok," Syaoran remarked. [I've lost you again…] "Let me help you out of the elevator."
"Iie…I can get out myself." With that she put one leg on the railing and jumped out onto the top of the elevator.
He smiled a little. [She certainly moves like Sakura… Why did I have to lose her again?] He jumped onto the elevator car top also. [So close yet so far…]
