This is the second to last chapter. Or maybe not, I don't know.I think or
should I make Eriol propose to Sakura? If I do I'm defiantly not putting a
wedding scene it takes to long.
Kane: Make him propose.
Cherrie: But I really think readers are already sick of this story.
Kane: Then ask your reviewers.
Cherrie: Right.Well you heard the evil tenshi tell me if you want me to at
least get Eriol to propose to Sakura.
Kane: I've told you a million times I'm not a tenshi.
Cherrie: * Chants * Tenshi, tenshi, tenshi.
To all of my reviewers.

The Next Day At Night.
**************************************************************************** *************
Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling, Touya and Yukito went to the festival. "Wow, it's so lively when there's a festival going on." Meiling said. "Yeah, hey lets go to the river." Syaoran said. "You three go on, we'll go and get you all a drink each." Touya said "Ok." Syaoran said. When they got tot the river Syaoran said. "You know if you stand here." He moved to the end of the dock. "And then do this." He put is hands together and prayed. "And then you look in the water and then it will show you your future." Two shadows appeared in the water and they were both holding a staff. "Clow Reed's aura." Syaoran stepped back and a giant horse appeared above them. Syaoran called on his staff. "Wood." Syaoran said and the Wood Card wrapped around the horse's legs but it broke free. "It's not working." Meiling said. "If you help me then I might be able to get it." Syaoran said turning to Tomoyo. Tomoyo nodded and pulled out her sword, "Wind." She said and she trapped the horse in a tornado. "Thunder." Syaoran said and he struck the horse with it. And it slowly sunk under the water. Tomoyo sighed with relief. "That was close." "Hey the lights are out." Syaoran said. "Oh, no, now the festival can't go on." Meiling said disappointedly. "Wait a minute." Syaoran said and he took out a card. "Glow." He said and the Glow Card appeared. "Wow, it's so beautiful." Tomoyo said.
**************************************************************************** *************
Meanwhile In A Tree.
**************************************************************************** *************
Sakura sat down. "What are we doing tomorrow?" She asked. "Well there's nothing else we can do, we have to wait until Syaoran changes a few more Cards and then we can battle him." Eriol said. "Does that mean that tomorrow is going to be another boring day?" Sakura asked. "I'm afraid so star." Eriol said. "You know you could set up something interesting for them to play with like snow." Sakura said. "I'll think about it star." Eriol said.
**************************************************************************** *************
The Next Day.
**************************************************************************** *************
Syaoran, Kero and Yue were at the school. "Ah, you stupid little thing how could you do this to me?" Kero struggled to get out of a snowman. "Help." Syaoran said as he was chased by dozens of them. Yue held out his hand and fired moon shards at the school but they were blocked by a shield. "It's to strong, I can't get through." He said. The miniature snowmen stopped Syaoran and were building up snow around him. "That's it." Syaoran said and he pulled up a card. "Card created by Clow, discard your old form and be reborn under the name of your new master. Snow.Snow Card, get rid of these snowmen." The Snow Card came out of its card form and blew a gust of wind at them. Then they disappeared. "Wow, that was fast." Ruby Moon said sitting on the roof. "I told you that you made it to easy." Sakura sighed. "I'm only being fair star. We don't want to tire the child now do we?" Eriol asked. "Well maybe you don't but me, Spinel and Ruby do." Sakura said. Spinel and Ruby nodded their heads in agreement. "Star sometimes you're just to much." Eriol sighed but smiled. "I know I am." Sakura said happily.
**************************************************************************** *************
That Night.
**************************************************************************** *************
Syaoran couldn't sleep and Kero was looking out the window. "Hmm." Syaoran wondered. "Huh, you're still not asleep yet?" Kero asked. "No." Syaoran said. "You know it was snowing when Clow Reed died." Kero said. "Really?" Syaoran asked. Kero nodded his head. "You know, I think I should ask him if he's the one doing all of this." Syaoran said. "Who?" Kero asked. "Clow, I can use the Return Card." Syaoran said. Kero looked at him, "are you sure?" "Hai." "Well then go to sleep and we'll talk about it with Tomoyo and Meiling tomorrow." Syaoran nodded and went to sleep.
**************************************************************************** *************
The Next Day.
**************************************************************************** *************
"WHAT!" Tomoyo shouted out. "Tomoyo, not so loud." Syaoran said. "You can't do that what if you don't come back, or if something happens." Meiling said. "Meiling I will be back." Syaoran said. "When, where?" Tomoyo asked. "Today at the shrine where the cherry blossom tree is. That's where the Return Card's the strongest." Syaoran said. "Oh." Tomoyo said. "Well anyway see you there tonight." Syaoran said. "Syaoran will Kero be there?" Tomoyo asked. "Hai." Syaoran said and he walked away. 'Syaoran, I don't know what will happen if I lost you.' Tomoyo thought. 'Syaoran, I really do love you and I don't want you to get hurt.' Meiling thought to herself as she watch Syaoran walk away from them. 'But I know that you love Tomoyo and I'll try not to get in your way. But the wedding is unstoppable.'
**************************************************************************** *************
That Night.
**************************************************************************** *************
Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling and Kero walked to the cherry blossom tree. "Here." Syaoran said. "Syaoran are you sure that you're going to be ok?" Tomoyo asked. "Hai." Syaoran said. "Promise me that you're going to come back." Meiling said. "I promise Meiling." Syaoran said. Meiling sighed with relief. "And besides you have to come back to marry me." She joked. "Meiling of course I'll come back to marry you." Syaoran smiled. Tomoyo looked hurt but she didn't really show it. "Now you know what to do don't you?" Kero asked. "Hai." Syaoran said. "Ok." Kero said. "Return." Syaoran called on the Return card. "Well see you later Syaoran." Tomoyo said. "See you." Syaoran said and he put his hand on the tree and it glowed and then Syaoran disappeared.
**************************************************************************** *************
Meanwhile At Eriol's House.
**************************************************************************** *************
"Nakuru when you were unpacking my stuff, where did you put my robes?" Sakura asked. "The same place where Eriol keeps his." Nakuru said. "And where's that?" Sakura asked. "In his cupboard, where else." Nakuru said. "Star, are you looking for your robes?" Eriol asked. "Yes, I can't find them." Sakura said looking through Eriols cupboard. "Let me look star." Eriol said and Sakura moved out of the way, "here they are." He said as he pulled out robes like Eriols but instead of having the sun in the middle it had a star and instead of being black they were pink. "Arigato Eriol." Sakura said as she gently kissed him on the cheek and took them from him. "No need to thank me star." Eriol smiled. "It's so hard to find things especially when Nakuru hides them." Sakura sighed. "I did not hide them." Nakuru said. Eriol smiled took out his key. "Key which conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true self before me. I Eriol command you under contract, release." Eriol's staff appeared. "What are you doing?" Sakura asked. "I'm just going to watch what Syaoran's doing, go into the lounge when you're finished getting changed star." He said and he walked out of the room. Sakura quickly got dressed and walked outside and into the lounge. She saw Eriol sitting in his chair watching Syaoran, Kero and Yue sleeping and Clow Reed reading a book. "What happened?" Sakura asked. "Syaoran fainted so he's sleeping." Eriol said. "Eriol, don't we have to go soon?" Sakura asked. "Yes, but then again it's fun to watch them." Eriol said. Sakura smiled, "I know it is but I still need to find my hat." "Sakura, it's in the second drawer our room." Eriol said. "Oh." Sakura said and she walked back to Eriols room and pulled open the draw and her dark pink hat was in there. "Why do they put my stuff in the most least obvious places?" She asked herself. "Sakura, what's happening?" Spinel asked. "Spinel don't you know what today is?" Sakura asked. "What?" Spinel asked. "Spinel what does this remind you of?" Sakura asked motioning to her robes. "What, already?" Spinel asked. "Yes already." Sakura said. "Oh, where's Eriol?" "He's watching Syaoran." "Sakura, we must leave now." Eriol said through the door. "Ok." Sakura said and she walked out of the room with Spinel following her.
**************************************************************************** *************
When They Got There.
**************************************************************************** *************
Eriol and Sakura stood on top of the shrine and watched as Syaoran talked to Tomoyo and Kero. "But who made them forget?" Syaoran asked. "It was Clow Reed." Eriol said loud enough for them to hear. "Eriol, Sakura." Syaoran said running up to them. "Who are you?" Meiling asked. "My name now is Eriol, but my name before was Clow Reed." Eriol said. "That's impossible, Clow Reed died a long time ago, Yue and I were the ones that witnessed it." Kero said. "But he's really Clow." Spinel said coming out from behind the fence. "Suppi." Kero said. "Don't forget me." Nakuru said coming out from the other side. "Nakuru." Syaoran said, "how come you're here as well?" "Key which conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true self before me. I Eriol command you under contract, release." Eriol said and Nakuru and Spinel floated up to them. "Reveal your true forms, Spinel Sun, Akizuki Nakuru." A second later Spinel and Nakuru were standing in their true forms. Sakura smiled and held out her key. "Key which conceals the power of the stars, reveal your true self before me. I Sakura command you under contract, release." Sakura's staff appeared. "What." Tomoyo said. "That staff it's the same as Clow Reeds." She said looking at Eriol's staff. "You're right." Kero said. "That means that Eriol is really the reincarnation of Clow Reed." Syaoran said. "Who cares, you couldn't be able to do those things to Syaoran." Kero complained. "That's where you're wrong, Cerberus." Eriol said and he let go of his aura. "Clow." Kero said. "Then let it begin." Eriol said and he lifted up his staff and the darkness above him covered the moon and the sun. Then all across the streets everyone fell asleep but Tomoyo and Syaoran. Meiling fell to the ground. "What did you do?" Meiling asked weakly. "Right now everyone's asleep." Sakura said. "What." Syaoran said. "Why are you doing this?" Meiling asked. "I only made Tomoyo and Syaoran not go to sleep, to make it fair since I have Sakura by my side. But you seem to be much stronger then I thought" Eriol said. "What he's done is he's made everyone go to sleep until someone gets rid of the darkness." Sakura said. "If you don't defeat me then everyone will stay asleep." Eriol added. "When you say asleep then how long until they wake up?" Syaoran asked. "They just sleep." Sakura said. "Forever." Eriol added. "Then how do I make them wake back up?" Syaoran asked. "My challenge is, defeat me with your own magic." Eriol said. "But I can't fight you." Syaoran said. "Well then since you don't want to fight." Eriol started. "Let's have some fun." Sakura added turning to Spinel Sun who was beside her and she patted him on the head. "Fine." Spinel said and he jumped from his place and he fired a red beam at the group. "Don't' even think about it." Kero said as he changed into his true form and he blocked it with his shield. Spinel then threw another blast at them and Kero countered. "So you aren't that dumb." Spinel said and Eriol's staff glowed and so did the jewel on Spinels head and Spinel threw an even bigger blast at Kero. Then Kero was knocked to the ground. "I never knew that their new master would be so useless." Ruby Moon said. Spinel Sun flapped his wings violently and the wind was about to attack Syaoran and Tomoyo when it was blocked by a shield. Syaoran looked up to see Yue and Touya. "Yue, Touya, huh, what's wrong with Touya?" Syaoran asked. "He's sleeping." Yue said laying him down against a tree. "Even my brother." Syaoran said. "It's because he gave all of his magic to me." Yue said. Then he turned to Sakura and Eriol. "Clow." "Yue." Eriol said. "Well since Yue's here, doesn't that mean my opponent's here?" Ruby Moon asked. "Not yet." Sakura said, "looks like Yue want's to have a little chat first." Yue looked at Sakura. "You're Sakura." He said. "Well who did you expect me to be?" Sakura asked. "Yue, now is not the time to talk." Eriol said and his staff glowed. "Well now finally." Ruby Moon smiled and she glowed red and then she sent sapphire shards at Yue and he just moved away in time. Then she tried to cut him but only got some of his hair. "I guess she thought that Yue needed a hair cut." Sakura smiled. "Star, not now." Eriol said. "Well no wonder you needed Touya's power to sustain you." Ruby Moon said. "This doesn't concern Syaoran." Kero said getting up and standing beside Yue. "Touchy." Sakura said. "Yue, lets finish them." Kero said. "DON'T!" Syaoran shouted. "Tomoyo, watch Touya." "I understand." Tomoyo said. Then Syaoran turned back to Eriol, "Eriol, why are you doing this, weather it was you or Clow Reed you were always helping me. Why?" "Defeat me, and I'll tell you." Eriol said. "You don't have a choice anyway, do you really want all of your friends to sleep forever?" Sakura said. "No, but, but." Syaoran trailed off. Eriol smiled and sent a blast at him from his staff. "He's about to attack." Yue said. "Syaoran, look out." Kero said. "Shield." Syaoran said. "Nice move." Sakura smiled. "Jump." Syaoran said as he dodged the continuous shots that Eriol was shooting at him. "Syaoran." Kero said as he and Yue rushed to help him. "And where are you two going?" Ruby Moon asked standing in their way. "You're opponents are us." Spinel added. Syaoran was hit and Meiling quickly said. "Wind." And Syaoran was just saved from hitting the ground. "Well now she moves." Sakura smiled and her staff glowed pink and she aimed a blast at Meiling. "Meiling look out." Syaoran said and Tomoyo quickly pushed Meiling out of the way and they both just missed the shot. "Fine then." Syaoran said and he took out a Card. 'Windy please help me.' He thought and he touched it with his staff, "Windy." He said and it went right past them. "You can't use Wind to defeat us." Sakura smiled. Eriol's staff started glowing again and he started shooting at Syaoran again. "Fly." He said and he quickly tried to move away from the blasts. Then he was hit by one of Sakura's unexpected blasts. "Opps did I just kill a bird?" Sakura asked sarcastically. "Syaoran." Kero said and he and Yue tried to help him but Ruby Moon and Spinel still blocked their way. "That's it." Kero said and he hit Spinel full blast. "Move out of my way." Yue said and he distracted Ruby Moon long enough to make a move towards Syaoran. Meanwhile on the ground Syaoran woke up again and saw the Cards surrounding him. "Were you worried about me?" he asked as the cards floated around him, "but." He took some cards out of his pocket. "There are some cards that haven't been changed yet." "Syaoran, are you ok?" Kero asked as they landed behind him. "Mm.Yeah" Syaoran said and he turned to Sakura, Eriol, Ruby Moon and Spinel who had taken back their places beside their masters. 'Maybe I can use these cards now.' He thought. Then he through them above him and said something then they all turned green. "That was pretty good Syaoran." Sakura said. "But there's still two more Cards that you haven't changed." Eriol added. "It's Dark, and Light." Yue said. "Light and Dark were special Cards, does that mean that Syaoran doesn't have enough power to make them his Cards?" Kero asked. "I'll try again." Syaoran said, but they still didn't change. "Wait a minute, didn't light once say that Light conquers the Dark so then that means." "He finally gets the message." Sakura said. "Star I told you, now is not the time to be joking around." Eriol said. "I'm sorry Eriol." Sakura said. "It's our turn now." Kero said. Yue nodded his head on agreement. "Syaoran." Kero said. "Huh?" Syaoran said. "Syaoran, its Light and Dark that are our elements." Yue said. "So that's means that for this we can help you." Kero said. "Kero, Yue, how can you help?" Syaoran asked. "You can just seal us into your staff." Yue said. "What?" Syaoran said. "But won't there be a problem?" "If you can get rid of the darkness and change the cards then there will be no problem." Eriol said. "Then what if I can't call on the Light Card?" Syaoran asked. "Then they'll be like everyone else, they'll sleep inside the staff." Eriol said. "I CAN'T!" Syaoran said. "If I don't change the cards then I won't be able to see Kero or Yue." Yue put his hand on his shoulder. "Even if you don't change them, won't it still be the same, you wouldn't be able to see everyone else." He said. "Fine then, I'll try." Syaoran said and he held his staff out to them and Yue and Kero went into it and his staff grew to the length of Sakura and Eriol's. Then he did his little chant and the Cards began to change but it stopped at the middle and began to go down. "Huh." Syaoran said. "Remember what you're dealing with right now, four against three." Sakura said. Meiling put her hand over his. "I may not have as much magic as you Syaoran, but I have some of Clow Reeds blood in me and that might help." She said. Syaoran nodded, 'I know that I'll have no problem now.' He thought to himself. "Eriol, do I have to let them win?" Sakura whispered in Eriol's ear. "Yes star." Eriol said. "Fine then." Sakura said and she let her hold go on the Clow Cards and the blinding light covered them. "Light." Syaoran said and the Light Card came out and went into the sky and the darkness disappeared. "I can't believe I just let them win." Sakura sighed. "Well let me put it this way." Ruby Moon said, "at least you did it for the guy you love." Sakura sighed and hugged Eriol. "The things I do for you." She said. "I know star." He smiled. "Well then time to go." Ruby Moon watched as Syaoran, Meiling, and Kero rejoiced. Eriol nodded and they left. "Just one more thing Clow." Kero started, "why did you make Syaoran do those stupid tests?" But when he turned around they weren't there. "Huh they're gone." Kero and Yue flew down the road in search for them. Syaoran was about to follow when Meiling said "Syaoran wait." (if you've watched the third season of CCS you'll know what happens here.)

Meanwhile On The Roof.
**************************************************************************** *************
"Oh, that's so sweet." Sakura said looking at Meiling and Syaoran. "To bad those two were dumb enough to go the other way, I wanted a rematch." Spinel said. "Why don't you go look for them, I'll go with you." Sakura said. "Hai." Ruby Moon said. "Come on." Sakura said and she went on Spinels back with Eriol watching them. "Be careful star." Eriol said before they took off. "I will." Sakura smiled and they took off. "There they are." Ruby Moon said pointing to where Yue and Kero were flying down the street. "Well then." Sakura said getting impatient and she jumped of Spinel and landed in front of Yue and Kero who stopped when she landed. "Hello." She said. Yue and Kero went into fighting stance and Sakura smiled. "It's not me who want's a rematch, it's them." She said pointing up to Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun who were above them. "That was an unfair battle since Syaoran was involved." Spinel said. "In this battle I set out the rules." Sakura said. "What." Yue said. "Don't worry she's fair." Ruby Moon said. Sakura nodded. "I don't want to harm any of Clow Reeds or Eriol's creations, although they are close to the same people." She said. "Since I fell in love with both of them. Well then rules are, no using me as a hostage which goes for just Yue's side since Spinel wouldn't dare let Ruby Moon touch me and the second rule is no attacking your partners opponent." "Those seem fair." Kero said. "They're as fair as they get." Spinel said. "Ready." Sakura started. "Wait a minute." Yue said. "What?" Ruby Moon sighed. "Just one thing, how do you know that Clow Reed loved you?" Yue asked. "That's one thing you're better off not knowing." Sakura said. "Sakura." Yue said anxiously. "Fine then new rule, what you're fighting for." Sakura said. "What?" Spinel said. "Spinel be quiet or I'll let Nakuru get you drunk." Sakura said. "Fine." Spinel said. "Yue is fighting for what was stated before and Ruby Moon is." Sakura started. "Can I choose what I'm fighting for?" Ruby Moon asked. "Fine." Sakura sighed. "I want to know what kind of relation ship Yue had with Clow Reed." Ruby Moon said. "That's for me to know only." Yue said. "Yue, do you want to know or not?" Sakura asked. "Fine." Yue said. "Ok, you all know what you're fighting for, you know the rules. Now Spinel Sun and Cerberus what are you two fighting for?" Sakura asked. "Takoyaki!" Kero said. "What, Takoyaki?" Sakura said. "Well it's both of their favourite food." Ruby Moon said. "But you make it for Spinel all of the time." Sakura said. "I know, but let's say a big bowl of takoyaki." Ruby Moon said. "I'm fine with it." Spinel said. "So am I." Kero said. "Ok." Sakura said. "So." Ruby Moon said getting impatient. "Ready." Sakura stared. "Begin." Kero and Spinel started fighting when Meiling, Syaoran and Tomoyo went over to them. "What the, what are they fighting over?" Tomoyo asked. "A bowl of takoyaki." Ruby Moon said. "Yay, I won." Spinel cheered standing on Kero's back. "Ok Spinel get off Cerberus's back already." Sakura said. "Fine." Spinel said and he floated back to Sakura's side. "So what are the rules?" Eriol asked as he stood in one of the trees. "Eriol, are you trying to scare me or something?" Sakura asked "I'm sorry star." Eriol said. "The rules are no taking anyone hostage." Sakura said. "The battle is between Yue and Ruby Moon, no helping from masters." "Fine." Syaoran and Eriol said. "Begin." Sakura said and Ruby Moon and Yue started fighting. "So what are they fighting over?" Syaoran asked. "Something personal." Sakura said. "Like what?" Tomoyo asked. "Ruby Moon wants to know Yue's relationship with Clow Reed." Spinel said. "You know if she just asked I could've told her." Eriol said. "Well I think that Yue's going to win anyway. He's desperate." Kero said. "Why, what's he fighting for?" Syaoran asked. "He wants to know about Sakura's relationship with Clow Reed." Spinel said. "You know I could have told him that as well." Eriol said. "I know." Sakura said. "Yes and Eriol, you still didn't answer my question." Kero said but when he turned around again Eriol was gone. "He likes doing that a lot." Sakura said. "Typical." Kero said. Ruby Moon hit the ground unconscious and Spinel flew up to her and nudged her shoulder. "Ruby Moon, are you ok?" He asked but she didn't answer. "Don't worry Spinel, she's just fainted." Sakura said. "So Sakura." Yue said. "Ok Yue since you beat Ruby Moon I'll tell you." Sakura said. "Clow Reed and I meet when I was wondering in the forest." She started. "I already know this." Yue said. "I know it's just that it's better telling the story from the beginning." Sakura said. "Now, where was I, oh yes, we meet in the forest. I was kind of lost and a bit afraid since my magic wasn't as controlled as Clow's. Then he helped me get out of the forest and we became friends. Soon I was in trouble again. I was stuck up in a high tree and couldn't find my way back down. Then soon Clow came and floated up the tree with the Float Card rescued me again and then I noticed that he was blushing when he was holding me and then I started blushing and we landed on the ground we sort of uh, we uh." Sakura trailed off. "You what?" Spinel asked. "Um, I don't think that I should say this." Sakura said. "Then why don't you just show them." Eriol popped out of nowhere again. "Fine." Sakura said and she called on her staff and her symbol appeared on the ground with a little hole in the middle showing an image. A girl that looked like Sakura but older and Clow Reed. Clow floated up and held the girl in his arms and then he took the girl down to the ground and then they kissed. "YOU KISSED HIM?" Kero shouted. "It was a mistake." Sakura said. "Anyway we said it was just a little slip and that we wouldn't tell anyone that it happened and then well a few days later I finally met Yue and Cerberus." "What, and that's it?" Kero asked. "No." Eriol said. "Soon Sakura found herself in danger once again. But this time she wasn't stuck on something there was a man. He was pulling on her arm and you know the stuff that school boys do when they're really hooked on you." "Yeah we know, it's the same thing Ruby Moon does to Touya but just more violently." Spinel said. "Anyway it's basically just following you around trying to get with you and trying to kiss you and grabbing your arm to make you stay in place." Sakura said. Everyone nodded their heads. "So this guy was pulling on my arm. Then I slapped him and when he let go I ran off as fast as I could. He almost caught up to me when he was stopped in his tracks, just frozen. I turned around to see why he stopped and then I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I turned around I saw that it was Clow." Sakura said. "Then I said that everything was going to be alright and then I unfroze him and he ran away." Eriol added. "Then he did this little magic trick which sent Fire Works and I think there was light shining everywhere and it was so beautiful." Sakura said sighing when she remembered it. "And then we both said the unthinkable." Eriol said. "What?" Yue asked. "I get three guesses, you give me a dollar if I get the first one right." Spinel said. "Ok." Sakura said. "I-Love-You." Spinel said. "Yep." Sakura said. "You owe me a dollar now." Spinel said. "Here." Sakura said and she tossed him a dollar. "Arigato." He said. "I can't believe you actually said that." Kero said. "We did keep it a secret until Sakura died and then I died two days after her." Eriol said. "How come you never told us?" Yue asked. "I know how you would have reacted." Eriol said and he walked away. "Eriol, wait for us." Spinel said following him. Eriol stopped and turned to Sakura. "Star, are you coming home?" He asked. "Coming." Sakura said as she followed him. "I always wondered why he called her star instead of Sakura." Kero said. "He never called her star when I was around." Yue said clenching his fist. "He always called her star when you weren't around." Kero said. "Maybe it's because he knew that you liked him." Syaoran said. "Why would you say that?" Yue asked. "Oh come on Yue, we all know." Kero said. "What." Yue asked. "That you liked Clow Reed and you still do." Meiling said. Yue turned his head away. "I better go now, I've occupied Yukito's body for long enough." He said. Then he quickly changed back into Yukito. "Why does he always do that?" Syaoran asked. "He just does." Tomoyo said holding Kero in her arms like he was a stuffed animal. "What happened?" Yukito asked.
**************************************************************************** *************
At Eriol's House.
**************************************************************************** *************
"Time to pack our stuff." Sakura said. "What do you mean?" Spinel asked sitting on the couch in his false form. "We're going back to England the day after tomorrow aren't we?" Sakura asked. "Oh yeah we are aren't we?" Spinel asked and he helped Sakura fold some of her clothes. "Sakura. Are you going to school tomorrow?" Eriol asked. "Are you?" Sakura asked. "No." Eriol said sitting down on the bed and Spinel floated over to him and sat on his lap. "I'll go to school. But I'm bringing Spinel with me in his true form. I don't want guys coming over and hassling me." Sakura said. "That's perfectly fine with me but Spinel." Eriol looked down at the guardian on his lap. "I don't want you talking or showing your wings." "I know master." Spinel said. "Good. I'll write you a note Sakura. You know how to forge your parent's signature don't you?" Eriol asked. "Yes I do." Sakura said and Spinel jumped off Eriol's lap as he stood up and helped Sakura pack their things.
**************************************************************************** *************
The Next Day.
**************************************************************************** *************
Sakura was the first person to class with Spinel by her side. Most of the people that saw her walk past were scared out of their wits. 'Yes be very afraid of me.' Spinel thought. "Hey Sakura." Tomoyo walked into the classroom. "I thought that you wouldn't be at school today because of that incident yesterday." "Of course I would be at school but Eriol stayed at home so I needed my little Spinel Sun to look after me in case someone tried something on me." Sakura said. Tomoyo nodded in agreement. "So have Syaoran or Meiling come on yet?" Tomoyo asked. "Not yet I haven't sensed them all day." Sakura said. "Sakura I'm bored." Spinel said. Sakura stroked his head gently. "I'll read you something at lunch time. But for now be quiet until then." Spinel nodded his head. "Hey Sakura wouldn't the teacher say the Spinel isn't allowed to be at school?" Tomoyo asked. "I've got a note." Sakura said holding up a piece of paper. It read.
To Whom It May Concern: Sakura is to bring her bodyguard Spinel Sun to school today since Eriol Hiiragizawa is unable to attend school. This is for her own safety. If need be please call this number.
Nadesiko Kinomoto.
"Hey Sakura is that your mother's name?" Tomoyo asked. "Yeah. I forged her signature though." Sakura said. "It's one of my special abilities." "But what about if they do call your house?" Tomoyo asked. "Eriol will answer the phone. You know we are older then we look Tomoyo." Sakura said. Her voice changing to a more mature one. "Woah how old are you really in this life?" Tomoyo asked. "I'm 12 like all of you it's just that I've been alive for over 200 years." Sakura said. "You seemed pretty naive in your before life." Tomoyo said. "Things change when you fall in love with the most powerful magician in the whole world." Sakura said. "So you don't like Syaoran that much do you?" Tomoyo asked. "No I don't." Sakura said. Soon Meiling, Syaoran, Yamazaki, Chiharu, Rika and Naoko walked in. "Hey Syaoran you're not late." Tomoyo said. "Yeah I woke up pretty early." Syaoran said acting as if nothing had happened the day before. "Oh my gosh Sakura what's that?" Naoko asked pointing to Spinel. Sakura patted his head affectionately. "This is Spinel Sun. Spinel for short. He's my bodyguard." Sakura said. Spinel purred in response. When Sakura stopped he nudged her hand and she started stroking him again. "Woah he's so cool." Naoko said. Sakura nodded her head. "Just don't touch him or he might bite your hand off." She said as Spinel glared at the group. "Sakura what's that little crystal on his head for?" Chiharu asked. "It's just a mark that Eriol put on him." Sakura said. "Speaking of Eriol where is he?" Yamazaki asked. "He's at home." Sakura said. She stopped patting Spinel again and he rested his head on her lap while her hand rested on his back. The bell rang and the other students entered the room. Seconds later Terada sensei entered. "Ms Kinomoto what might I ask it that?" He asked pointing to Spinel who was resting his head on her lap. "This is my bodyguard Spinel Sun." Sakura said patting his head. "What is he doing here?" He asked. "He's my bodyguard. He's guarding me." Sakura said smiling. "Do you have any reason for having him here?" He asked. "Since Eriol's not here to protect me I have Spinel here to." Sakura said. She gave her note to Spinel and he bought it to Terada Sensei. He quickly scanned the note. Then left the room. "Where did he go?" One of the students asked. "To call Sakura's parents probably." One of the others answered.

At Eriol's House.
**************************************************************************** *************
Eriol picked up the phone. "Hello Eriol Hiiragizawa speaking." He said. "Excuse me Mr. Hiiragizawa but may I speak with Sakura's father or mother." Terada Sensei's voice asked on the phone. "Of course Terada Sensei." Eriol said he pretended to call for Sakura's Father. Then he answered the phone again. "Hello Fujitaka Kinomoto speaking." He said in his older voice. "Mr. Kinomoto I would like to know about this business about Sakura and her bodyguard." "Do you mean her bodyguard Spinel." "Yes." "He is her bodyguard. Seeing as how Eriol isn't there to look after her we have her bodyguard to make sure that no one harms her. We like to take our precautions." "Very well. But is the animal safe?" "He knows what he's doing. He'll only answer to Sakura if she orders him to do something or if he feels that she is threatened. Just make sure no one touches him." "Why is that?" "He'll bite anyone who touches him. He doesn't like being touched. Be sure to inform your class about that." "I'll tell them goodbye Mr. Hiiragizawa." "Goodbye Mr. Terada." Eriol said and he hung up the phone. "Master who was that?" Nakuru asked. "Why did you not go to school today Ruby?" Eriol asked. "There's no need to. I can't get Touya's powers and Yue would probably kill me because my master's girlfriend took his master away from him." Nakuru said. "Nakuru you know that's not a very good reason." "It is." "If you say so Nakuru."
**************************************************************************** *************
Back At Sakura's School.
**************************************************************************** *************
It was interval and Sakura was sitting under the Sakura tree with Spinel sitting beside her half sleeping while she was reading a book to him. "Sakura the child is coming." Spinel murmured while opening one eye. "I know." Sakura said patting Spinels' head. "I can sense him." She looked up and Spinel got up on his feet and turned to face Syaoran, Meiling and Tomoyo. "Spinel if I told you to would you rip their heart's out?" Sakura asked. "Yes. Just give me one good reason to." Spinel said. "Not yet we'll just see what they want." Sakura said. "Hey uh.Sakura." Syaoran said. "Hey Sakura." Meiling said. "Hi Sakura." Tomoyo said happily. "Hey Spinel." "Hello Tomoyo, Meiling, child." Sakura smiled. "Hi Tomoyo." Spinel said. "Enough with the child business you know I beat you." Syaoran said. "You only beat me because Eriol made me let you win." Sakura smiled. "You're still a child." "You know Sakura you really shouldn't be so mean to Syaoran." Tomoyo said patting Spinel on the head. "It doesn't matter. Come on Spinel." Sakura said standing up and walking away. Spinel walked behind her. "Uh hey Sakura." Syaoran said. "Yeah." Sakura turned her head. "Do you mind if we go to your house with you, you know to see Eriol." Syaoran said. "Yeah sure. But don't expect me to wait for you." Sakura said. Syaoran nodded his head and Sakura and Spinel continued to walk away. "You know I really thought she was nice." Meiling said. "She's was only nice to you Syaoran because Eriol told her to be." Tomoyo said. "Hey how do you know?" Syaoran asked. "Oh, Sakura told me." Tomoyo said. "How come she told you and not me?" Syaoran asked. "Because I'm the only one that she likes." Tomoyo said smiling. Sakura walked down to the front of the school and looked up. "After today Spinel Sun we're not going to come back." Sakura said. Spinel nodded his head in agreement. "I wonder if Eriol would want to come back." "No he wouldn't. Japan has seen enough of him." Spinel said. "You've got a point Spinel Sun." Sakura strokes Spinels head. Occasionally brushing past the jewel on his head. Spinel purred. "You like that don't you Spinel Sun?" Sakura asked smiling at the Sun Guardian. He nodded his head. The bell rang and Sakura and Spinel walked back into the classroom for Sakura's next two lessons.
Next time: Sakura and Spinel decide to have a little fun with Syaoran during their classes because of how he said that he was stronger then them. Sakura comes across some problems at Lunch and they go to see Eriol ^_^ I'm such a spoiler.
Cherrie: Kane what are you doing? Kane: * Sits on Cherries bed innocently. * Nothing. Cherrie: What are you doing? * Walks over to bed and lifts up the pillow and finds a tape recorder. Then presses play. * Tape recorder in Kane's voice: You will make Eriol propose to Sakura, You will make Eriol propose to Sakura, You will make Eriol propose to Sakura, You will make Eriol propose to Sakura. Cherrie: KANE! Kane jumps out the window and flies as far away from Cherrie as fast as he can. Cherrie: I'm going to kill that Moon Guardian when I get my hands on him. Oh well I'm going to sleep now. * Picks up tape recorder and tosses it at the wall and it smashes into a thousand pieces. Then goes into bed. * In the middle of the night Kane sneaks back in and puts another tape recorder under her pillow and presses play.

The Next Day At Night.
**************************************************************************** *************
Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling, Touya and Yukito went to the festival. "Wow, it's so lively when there's a festival going on." Meiling said. "Yeah, hey lets go to the river." Syaoran said. "You three go on, we'll go and get you all a drink each." Touya said "Ok." Syaoran said. When they got tot the river Syaoran said. "You know if you stand here." He moved to the end of the dock. "And then do this." He put is hands together and prayed. "And then you look in the water and then it will show you your future." Two shadows appeared in the water and they were both holding a staff. "Clow Reed's aura." Syaoran stepped back and a giant horse appeared above them. Syaoran called on his staff. "Wood." Syaoran said and the Wood Card wrapped around the horse's legs but it broke free. "It's not working." Meiling said. "If you help me then I might be able to get it." Syaoran said turning to Tomoyo. Tomoyo nodded and pulled out her sword, "Wind." She said and she trapped the horse in a tornado. "Thunder." Syaoran said and he struck the horse with it. And it slowly sunk under the water. Tomoyo sighed with relief. "That was close." "Hey the lights are out." Syaoran said. "Oh, no, now the festival can't go on." Meiling said disappointedly. "Wait a minute." Syaoran said and he took out a card. "Glow." He said and the Glow Card appeared. "Wow, it's so beautiful." Tomoyo said.
**************************************************************************** *************
Meanwhile In A Tree.
**************************************************************************** *************
Sakura sat down. "What are we doing tomorrow?" She asked. "Well there's nothing else we can do, we have to wait until Syaoran changes a few more Cards and then we can battle him." Eriol said. "Does that mean that tomorrow is going to be another boring day?" Sakura asked. "I'm afraid so star." Eriol said. "You know you could set up something interesting for them to play with like snow." Sakura said. "I'll think about it star." Eriol said.
**************************************************************************** *************
The Next Day.
**************************************************************************** *************
Syaoran, Kero and Yue were at the school. "Ah, you stupid little thing how could you do this to me?" Kero struggled to get out of a snowman. "Help." Syaoran said as he was chased by dozens of them. Yue held out his hand and fired moon shards at the school but they were blocked by a shield. "It's to strong, I can't get through." He said. The miniature snowmen stopped Syaoran and were building up snow around him. "That's it." Syaoran said and he pulled up a card. "Card created by Clow, discard your old form and be reborn under the name of your new master. Snow.Snow Card, get rid of these snowmen." The Snow Card came out of its card form and blew a gust of wind at them. Then they disappeared. "Wow, that was fast." Ruby Moon said sitting on the roof. "I told you that you made it to easy." Sakura sighed. "I'm only being fair star. We don't want to tire the child now do we?" Eriol asked. "Well maybe you don't but me, Spinel and Ruby do." Sakura said. Spinel and Ruby nodded their heads in agreement. "Star sometimes you're just to much." Eriol sighed but smiled. "I know I am." Sakura said happily.
**************************************************************************** *************
That Night.
**************************************************************************** *************
Syaoran couldn't sleep and Kero was looking out the window. "Hmm." Syaoran wondered. "Huh, you're still not asleep yet?" Kero asked. "No." Syaoran said. "You know it was snowing when Clow Reed died." Kero said. "Really?" Syaoran asked. Kero nodded his head. "You know, I think I should ask him if he's the one doing all of this." Syaoran said. "Who?" Kero asked. "Clow, I can use the Return Card." Syaoran said. Kero looked at him, "are you sure?" "Hai." "Well then go to sleep and we'll talk about it with Tomoyo and Meiling tomorrow." Syaoran nodded and went to sleep.
**************************************************************************** *************
The Next Day.
**************************************************************************** *************
"WHAT!" Tomoyo shouted out. "Tomoyo, not so loud." Syaoran said. "You can't do that what if you don't come back, or if something happens." Meiling said. "Meiling I will be back." Syaoran said. "When, where?" Tomoyo asked. "Today at the shrine where the cherry blossom tree is. That's where the Return Card's the strongest." Syaoran said. "Oh." Tomoyo said. "Well anyway see you there tonight." Syaoran said. "Syaoran will Kero be there?" Tomoyo asked. "Hai." Syaoran said and he walked away. 'Syaoran, I don't know what will happen if I lost you.' Tomoyo thought. 'Syaoran, I really do love you and I don't want you to get hurt.' Meiling thought to herself as she watch Syaoran walk away from them. 'But I know that you love Tomoyo and I'll try not to get in your way. But the wedding is unstoppable.'
**************************************************************************** *************
That Night.
**************************************************************************** *************
Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling and Kero walked to the cherry blossom tree. "Here." Syaoran said. "Syaoran are you sure that you're going to be ok?" Tomoyo asked. "Hai." Syaoran said. "Promise me that you're going to come back." Meiling said. "I promise Meiling." Syaoran said. Meiling sighed with relief. "And besides you have to come back to marry me." She joked. "Meiling of course I'll come back to marry you." Syaoran smiled. Tomoyo looked hurt but she didn't really show it. "Now you know what to do don't you?" Kero asked. "Hai." Syaoran said. "Ok." Kero said. "Return." Syaoran called on the Return card. "Well see you later Syaoran." Tomoyo said. "See you." Syaoran said and he put his hand on the tree and it glowed and then Syaoran disappeared.
**************************************************************************** *************
Meanwhile At Eriol's House.
**************************************************************************** *************
"Nakuru when you were unpacking my stuff, where did you put my robes?" Sakura asked. "The same place where Eriol keeps his." Nakuru said. "And where's that?" Sakura asked. "In his cupboard, where else." Nakuru said. "Star, are you looking for your robes?" Eriol asked. "Yes, I can't find them." Sakura said looking through Eriols cupboard. "Let me look star." Eriol said and Sakura moved out of the way, "here they are." He said as he pulled out robes like Eriols but instead of having the sun in the middle it had a star and instead of being black they were pink. "Arigato Eriol." Sakura said as she gently kissed him on the cheek and took them from him. "No need to thank me star." Eriol smiled. "It's so hard to find things especially when Nakuru hides them." Sakura sighed. "I did not hide them." Nakuru said. Eriol smiled took out his key. "Key which conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true self before me. I Eriol command you under contract, release." Eriol's staff appeared. "What are you doing?" Sakura asked. "I'm just going to watch what Syaoran's doing, go into the lounge when you're finished getting changed star." He said and he walked out of the room. Sakura quickly got dressed and walked outside and into the lounge. She saw Eriol sitting in his chair watching Syaoran, Kero and Yue sleeping and Clow Reed reading a book. "What happened?" Sakura asked. "Syaoran fainted so he's sleeping." Eriol said. "Eriol, don't we have to go soon?" Sakura asked. "Yes, but then again it's fun to watch them." Eriol said. Sakura smiled, "I know it is but I still need to find my hat." "Sakura, it's in the second drawer our room." Eriol said. "Oh." Sakura said and she walked back to Eriols room and pulled open the draw and her dark pink hat was in there. "Why do they put my stuff in the most least obvious places?" She asked herself. "Sakura, what's happening?" Spinel asked. "Spinel don't you know what today is?" Sakura asked. "What?" Spinel asked. "Spinel what does this remind you of?" Sakura asked motioning to her robes. "What, already?" Spinel asked. "Yes already." Sakura said. "Oh, where's Eriol?" "He's watching Syaoran." "Sakura, we must leave now." Eriol said through the door. "Ok." Sakura said and she walked out of the room with Spinel following her.
**************************************************************************** *************
When They Got There.
**************************************************************************** *************
Eriol and Sakura stood on top of the shrine and watched as Syaoran talked to Tomoyo and Kero. "But who made them forget?" Syaoran asked. "It was Clow Reed." Eriol said loud enough for them to hear. "Eriol, Sakura." Syaoran said running up to them. "Who are you?" Meiling asked. "My name now is Eriol, but my name before was Clow Reed." Eriol said. "That's impossible, Clow Reed died a long time ago, Yue and I were the ones that witnessed it." Kero said. "But he's really Clow." Spinel said coming out from behind the fence. "Suppi." Kero said. "Don't forget me." Nakuru said coming out from the other side. "Nakuru." Syaoran said, "how come you're here as well?" "Key which conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true self before me. I Eriol command you under contract, release." Eriol said and Nakuru and Spinel floated up to them. "Reveal your true forms, Spinel Sun, Akizuki Nakuru." A second later Spinel and Nakuru were standing in their true forms. Sakura smiled and held out her key. "Key which conceals the power of the stars, reveal your true self before me. I Sakura command you under contract, release." Sakura's staff appeared. "What." Tomoyo said. "That staff it's the same as Clow Reeds." She said looking at Eriol's staff. "You're right." Kero said. "That means that Eriol is really the reincarnation of Clow Reed." Syaoran said. "Who cares, you couldn't be able to do those things to Syaoran." Kero complained. "That's where you're wrong, Cerberus." Eriol said and he let go of his aura. "Clow." Kero said. "Then let it begin." Eriol said and he lifted up his staff and the darkness above him covered the moon and the sun. Then all across the streets everyone fell asleep but Tomoyo and Syaoran. Meiling fell to the ground. "What did you do?" Meiling asked weakly. "Right now everyone's asleep." Sakura said. "What." Syaoran said. "Why are you doing this?" Meiling asked. "I only made Tomoyo and Syaoran not go to sleep, to make it fair since I have Sakura by my side. But you seem to be much stronger then I thought" Eriol said. "What he's done is he's made everyone go to sleep until someone gets rid of the darkness." Sakura said. "If you don't defeat me then everyone will stay asleep." Eriol added. "When you say asleep then how long until they wake up?" Syaoran asked. "They just sleep." Sakura said. "Forever." Eriol added. "Then how do I make them wake back up?" Syaoran asked. "My challenge is, defeat me with your own magic." Eriol said. "But I can't fight you." Syaoran said. "Well then since you don't want to fight." Eriol started. "Let's have some fun." Sakura added turning to Spinel Sun who was beside her and she patted him on the head. "Fine." Spinel said and he jumped from his place and he fired a red beam at the group. "Don't' even think about it." Kero said as he changed into his true form and he blocked it with his shield. Spinel then threw another blast at them and Kero countered. "So you aren't that dumb." Spinel said and Eriol's staff glowed and so did the jewel on Spinels head and Spinel threw an even bigger blast at Kero. Then Kero was knocked to the ground. "I never knew that their new master would be so useless." Ruby Moon said. Spinel Sun flapped his wings violently and the wind was about to attack Syaoran and Tomoyo when it was blocked by a shield. Syaoran looked up to see Yue and Touya. "Yue, Touya, huh, what's wrong with Touya?" Syaoran asked. "He's sleeping." Yue said laying him down against a tree. "Even my brother." Syaoran said. "It's because he gave all of his magic to me." Yue said. Then he turned to Sakura and Eriol. "Clow." "Yue." Eriol said. "Well since Yue's here, doesn't that mean my opponent's here?" Ruby Moon asked. "Not yet." Sakura said, "looks like Yue want's to have a little chat first." Yue looked at Sakura. "You're Sakura." He said. "Well who did you expect me to be?" Sakura asked. "Yue, now is not the time to talk." Eriol said and his staff glowed. "Well now finally." Ruby Moon smiled and she glowed red and then she sent sapphire shards at Yue and he just moved away in time. Then she tried to cut him but only got some of his hair. "I guess she thought that Yue needed a hair cut." Sakura smiled. "Star, not now." Eriol said. "Well no wonder you needed Touya's power to sustain you." Ruby Moon said. "This doesn't concern Syaoran." Kero said getting up and standing beside Yue. "Touchy." Sakura said. "Yue, lets finish them." Kero said. "DON'T!" Syaoran shouted. "Tomoyo, watch Touya." "I understand." Tomoyo said. Then Syaoran turned back to Eriol, "Eriol, why are you doing this, weather it was you or Clow Reed you were always helping me. Why?" "Defeat me, and I'll tell you." Eriol said. "You don't have a choice anyway, do you really want all of your friends to sleep forever?" Sakura said. "No, but, but." Syaoran trailed off. Eriol smiled and sent a blast at him from his staff. "He's about to attack." Yue said. "Syaoran, look out." Kero said. "Shield." Syaoran said. "Nice move." Sakura smiled. "Jump." Syaoran said as he dodged the continuous shots that Eriol was shooting at him. "Syaoran." Kero said as he and Yue rushed to help him. "And where are you two going?" Ruby Moon asked standing in their way. "You're opponents are us." Spinel added. Syaoran was hit and Meiling quickly said. "Wind." And Syaoran was just saved from hitting the ground. "Well now she moves." Sakura smiled and her staff glowed pink and she aimed a blast at Meiling. "Meiling look out." Syaoran said and Tomoyo quickly pushed Meiling out of the way and they both just missed the shot. "Fine then." Syaoran said and he took out a Card. 'Windy please help me.' He thought and he touched it with his staff, "Windy." He said and it went right past them. "You can't use Wind to defeat us." Sakura smiled. Eriol's staff started glowing again and he started shooting at Syaoran again. "Fly." He said and he quickly tried to move away from the blasts. Then he was hit by one of Sakura's unexpected blasts. "Opps did I just kill a bird?" Sakura asked sarcastically. "Syaoran." Kero said and he and Yue tried to help him but Ruby Moon and Spinel still blocked their way. "That's it." Kero said and he hit Spinel full blast. "Move out of my way." Yue said and he distracted Ruby Moon long enough to make a move towards Syaoran. Meanwhile on the ground Syaoran woke up again and saw the Cards surrounding him. "Were you worried about me?" he asked as the cards floated around him, "but." He took some cards out of his pocket. "There are some cards that haven't been changed yet." "Syaoran, are you ok?" Kero asked as they landed behind him. "Mm.Yeah" Syaoran said and he turned to Sakura, Eriol, Ruby Moon and Spinel who had taken back their places beside their masters. 'Maybe I can use these cards now.' He thought. Then he through them above him and said something then they all turned green. "That was pretty good Syaoran." Sakura said. "But there's still two more Cards that you haven't changed." Eriol added. "It's Dark, and Light." Yue said. "Light and Dark were special Cards, does that mean that Syaoran doesn't have enough power to make them his Cards?" Kero asked. "I'll try again." Syaoran said, but they still didn't change. "Wait a minute, didn't light once say that Light conquers the Dark so then that means." "He finally gets the message." Sakura said. "Star I told you, now is not the time to be joking around." Eriol said. "I'm sorry Eriol." Sakura said. "It's our turn now." Kero said. Yue nodded his head on agreement. "Syaoran." Kero said. "Huh?" Syaoran said. "Syaoran, its Light and Dark that are our elements." Yue said. "So that's means that for this we can help you." Kero said. "Kero, Yue, how can you help?" Syaoran asked. "You can just seal us into your staff." Yue said. "What?" Syaoran said. "But won't there be a problem?" "If you can get rid of the darkness and change the cards then there will be no problem." Eriol said. "Then what if I can't call on the Light Card?" Syaoran asked. "Then they'll be like everyone else, they'll sleep inside the staff." Eriol said. "I CAN'T!" Syaoran said. "If I don't change the cards then I won't be able to see Kero or Yue." Yue put his hand on his shoulder. "Even if you don't change them, won't it still be the same, you wouldn't be able to see everyone else." He said. "Fine then, I'll try." Syaoran said and he held his staff out to them and Yue and Kero went into it and his staff grew to the length of Sakura and Eriol's. Then he did his little chant and the Cards began to change but it stopped at the middle and began to go down. "Huh." Syaoran said. "Remember what you're dealing with right now, four against three." Sakura said. Meiling put her hand over his. "I may not have as much magic as you Syaoran, but I have some of Clow Reeds blood in me and that might help." She said. Syaoran nodded, 'I know that I'll have no problem now.' He thought to himself. "Eriol, do I have to let them win?" Sakura whispered in Eriol's ear. "Yes star." Eriol said. "Fine then." Sakura said and she let her hold go on the Clow Cards and the blinding light covered them. "Light." Syaoran said and the Light Card came out and went into the sky and the darkness disappeared. "I can't believe I just let them win." Sakura sighed. "Well let me put it this way." Ruby Moon said, "at least you did it for the guy you love." Sakura sighed and hugged Eriol. "The things I do for you." She said. "I know star." He smiled. "Well then time to go." Ruby Moon watched as Syaoran, Meiling, and Kero rejoiced. Eriol nodded and they left. "Just one more thing Clow." Kero started, "why did you make Syaoran do those stupid tests?" But when he turned around they weren't there. "Huh they're gone." Kero and Yue flew down the road in search for them. Syaoran was about to follow when Meiling said "Syaoran wait." (if you've watched the third season of CCS you'll know what happens here.)

Meanwhile On The Roof.
**************************************************************************** *************
"Oh, that's so sweet." Sakura said looking at Meiling and Syaoran. "To bad those two were dumb enough to go the other way, I wanted a rematch." Spinel said. "Why don't you go look for them, I'll go with you." Sakura said. "Hai." Ruby Moon said. "Come on." Sakura said and she went on Spinels back with Eriol watching them. "Be careful star." Eriol said before they took off. "I will." Sakura smiled and they took off. "There they are." Ruby Moon said pointing to where Yue and Kero were flying down the street. "Well then." Sakura said getting impatient and she jumped of Spinel and landed in front of Yue and Kero who stopped when she landed. "Hello." She said. Yue and Kero went into fighting stance and Sakura smiled. "It's not me who want's a rematch, it's them." She said pointing up to Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun who were above them. "That was an unfair battle since Syaoran was involved." Spinel said. "In this battle I set out the rules." Sakura said. "What." Yue said. "Don't worry she's fair." Ruby Moon said. Sakura nodded. "I don't want to harm any of Clow Reeds or Eriol's creations, although they are close to the same people." She said. "Since I fell in love with both of them. Well then rules are, no using me as a hostage which goes for just Yue's side since Spinel wouldn't dare let Ruby Moon touch me and the second rule is no attacking your partners opponent." "Those seem fair." Kero said. "They're as fair as they get." Spinel said. "Ready." Sakura started. "Wait a minute." Yue said. "What?" Ruby Moon sighed. "Just one thing, how do you know that Clow Reed loved you?" Yue asked. "That's one thing you're better off not knowing." Sakura said. "Sakura." Yue said anxiously. "Fine then new rule, what you're fighting for." Sakura said. "What?" Spinel said. "Spinel be quiet or I'll let Nakuru get you drunk." Sakura said. "Fine." Spinel said. "Yue is fighting for what was stated before and Ruby Moon is." Sakura started. "Can I choose what I'm fighting for?" Ruby Moon asked. "Fine." Sakura sighed. "I want to know what kind of relation ship Yue had with Clow Reed." Ruby Moon said. "That's for me to know only." Yue said. "Yue, do you want to know or not?" Sakura asked. "Fine." Yue said. "Ok, you all know what you're fighting for, you know the rules. Now Spinel Sun and Cerberus what are you two fighting for?" Sakura asked. "Takoyaki!" Kero said. "What, Takoyaki?" Sakura said. "Well it's both of their favourite food." Ruby Moon said. "But you make it for Spinel all of the time." Sakura said. "I know, but let's say a big bowl of takoyaki." Ruby Moon said. "I'm fine with it." Spinel said. "So am I." Kero said. "Ok." Sakura said. "So." Ruby Moon said getting impatient. "Ready." Sakura stared. "Begin." Kero and Spinel started fighting when Meiling, Syaoran and Tomoyo went over to them. "What the, what are they fighting over?" Tomoyo asked. "A bowl of takoyaki." Ruby Moon said. "Yay, I won." Spinel cheered standing on Kero's back. "Ok Spinel get off Cerberus's back already." Sakura said. "Fine." Spinel said and he floated back to Sakura's side. "So what are the rules?" Eriol asked as he stood in one of the trees. "Eriol, are you trying to scare me or something?" Sakura asked "I'm sorry star." Eriol said. "The rules are no taking anyone hostage." Sakura said. "The battle is between Yue and Ruby Moon, no helping from masters." "Fine." Syaoran and Eriol said. "Begin." Sakura said and Ruby Moon and Yue started fighting. "So what are they fighting over?" Syaoran asked. "Something personal." Sakura said. "Like what?" Tomoyo asked. "Ruby Moon wants to know Yue's relationship with Clow Reed." Spinel said. "You know if she just asked I could've told her." Eriol said. "Well I think that Yue's going to win anyway. He's desperate." Kero said. "Why, what's he fighting for?" Syaoran asked. "He wants to know about Sakura's relationship with Clow Reed." Spinel said. "You know I could have told him that as well." Eriol said. "I know." Sakura said. "Yes and Eriol, you still didn't answer my question." Kero said but when he turned around again Eriol was gone. "He likes doing that a lot." Sakura said. "Typical." Kero said. Ruby Moon hit the ground unconscious and Spinel flew up to her and nudged her shoulder. "Ruby Moon, are you ok?" He asked but she didn't answer. "Don't worry Spinel, she's just fainted." Sakura said. "So Sakura." Yue said. "Ok Yue since you beat Ruby Moon I'll tell you." Sakura said. "Clow Reed and I meet when I was wondering in the forest." She started. "I already know this." Yue said. "I know it's just that it's better telling the story from the beginning." Sakura said. "Now, where was I, oh yes, we meet in the forest. I was kind of lost and a bit afraid since my magic wasn't as controlled as Clow's. Then he helped me get out of the forest and we became friends. Soon I was in trouble again. I was stuck up in a high tree and couldn't find my way back down. Then soon Clow came and floated up the tree with the Float Card rescued me again and then I noticed that he was blushing when he was holding me and then I started blushing and we landed on the ground we sort of uh, we uh." Sakura trailed off. "You what?" Spinel asked. "Um, I don't think that I should say this." Sakura said. "Then why don't you just show them." Eriol popped out of nowhere again. "Fine." Sakura said and she called on her staff and her symbol appeared on the ground with a little hole in the middle showing an image. A girl that looked like Sakura but older and Clow Reed. Clow floated up and held the girl in his arms and then he took the girl down to the ground and then they kissed. "YOU KISSED HIM?" Kero shouted. "It was a mistake." Sakura said. "Anyway we said it was just a little slip and that we wouldn't tell anyone that it happened and then well a few days later I finally met Yue and Cerberus." "What, and that's it?" Kero asked. "No." Eriol said. "Soon Sakura found herself in danger once again. But this time she wasn't stuck on something there was a man. He was pulling on her arm and you know the stuff that school boys do when they're really hooked on you." "Yeah we know, it's the same thing Ruby Moon does to Touya but just more violently." Spinel said. "Anyway it's basically just following you around trying to get with you and trying to kiss you and grabbing your arm to make you stay in place." Sakura said. Everyone nodded their heads. "So this guy was pulling on my arm. Then I slapped him and when he let go I ran off as fast as I could. He almost caught up to me when he was stopped in his tracks, just frozen. I turned around to see why he stopped and then I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I turned around I saw that it was Clow." Sakura said. "Then I said that everything was going to be alright and then I unfroze him and he ran away." Eriol added. "Then he did this little magic trick which sent Fire Works and I think there was light shining everywhere and it was so beautiful." Sakura said sighing when she remembered it. "And then we both said the unthinkable." Eriol said. "What?" Yue asked. "I get three guesses, you give me a dollar if I get the first one right." Spinel said. "Ok." Sakura said. "I-Love-You." Spinel said. "Yep." Sakura said. "You owe me a dollar now." Spinel said. "Here." Sakura said and she tossed him a dollar. "Arigato." He said. "I can't believe you actually said that." Kero said. "We did keep it a secret until Sakura died and then I died two days after her." Eriol said. "How come you never told us?" Yue asked. "I know how you would have reacted." Eriol said and he walked away. "Eriol, wait for us." Spinel said following him. Eriol stopped and turned to Sakura. "Star, are you coming home?" He asked. "Coming." Sakura said as she followed him. "I always wondered why he called her star instead of Sakura." Kero said. "He never called her star when I was around." Yue said clenching his fist. "He always called her star when you weren't around." Kero said. "Maybe it's because he knew that you liked him." Syaoran said. "Why would you say that?" Yue asked. "Oh come on Yue, we all know." Kero said. "What." Yue asked. "That you liked Clow Reed and you still do." Meiling said. Yue turned his head away. "I better go now, I've occupied Yukito's body for long enough." He said. Then he quickly changed back into Yukito. "Why does he always do that?" Syaoran asked. "He just does." Tomoyo said holding Kero in her arms like he was a stuffed animal. "What happened?" Yukito asked.

At Eriol's House.

"Time to pack our stuff." Sakura said. "What do you mean?" Spinel asked sitting on the couch in his false form. "We're going back to England the day after tomorrow aren't we?" Sakura asked. "Oh yeah we are aren't we?" Spinel asked and he helped Sakura fold some of her clothes. "Sakura. Are you going to school tomorrow?" Eriol asked. "Are you?" Sakura asked. "No." Eriol said sitting down on the bed and Spinel floated over to him and sat on his lap. "I'll go to school. But I'm bringing Spinel with me in his true form. I don't want guys coming over and hassling me." Sakura said. "That's perfectly fine with me but Spinel." Eriol looked down at the guardian on his lap. "I don't want you talking or showing your wings." "I know master." Spinel said. "Good. I'll write you a note Sakura. You know how to forge your parent's signature don't you?" Eriol asked. "Yes I do." Sakura said and Spinel jumped off Eriol's lap as he stood up and helped Sakura pack their things.

The Next Day.
**************************************************************************** *************
Sakura was the first person to class with Spinel by her side. Most of the people that saw her walk past were scared out of their wits. 'Yes be very afraid of me.' Spinel thought. "Hey Sakura." Tomoyo walked into the classroom. "I thought that you wouldn't be at school today because of that incident yesterday." "Of course I would be at school but Eriol stayed at home so I needed my little Spinel Sun to look after me in case someone tried something on me." Sakura said. Tomoyo nodded in agreement. "So have Syaoran or Meiling come on yet?" Tomoyo asked. "Not yet I haven't sensed them all day." Sakura said. "Sakura I'm bored." Spinel said. Sakura stroked his head gently. "I'll read you something at lunch time. But for now be quiet until then." Spinel nodded his head. "Hey Sakura wouldn't the teacher say the Spinel isn't allowed to be at school?" Tomoyo asked. "I've got a note." Sakura said holding up a piece of paper. It read.
To Whom It May Concern: Sakura is to bring her bodyguard Spinel Sun to school today since Eriol Hiiragizawa is unable to attend school. This is for her own safety. If need be please call this number.
Nadesiko Kinomoto.
"Hey Sakura is that your mother's name?" Tomoyo asked. "Yeah. I forged her signature though." Sakura said. "It's one of my special abilities." "But what about if they do call your house?" Tomoyo asked. "Eriol will answer the phone. You know we are older then we look Tomoyo." Sakura said. Her voice changing to a more mature one. "Woah how old are you really in this life?" Tomoyo asked. "I'm 12 like all of you it's just that I've been alive for over 200 years." Sakura said. "You seemed pretty naive in your before life." Tomoyo said. "Things change when you fall in love with the most powerful magician in the whole world." Sakura said. "So you don't like Syaoran that much do you?" Tomoyo asked. "No I don't." Sakura said. Soon Meiling, Syaoran, Yamazaki, Chiharu, Rika and Naoko walked in. "Hey Syaoran you're not late." Tomoyo said. "Yeah I woke up pretty early." Syaoran said acting as if nothing had happened the day before. "Oh my gosh Sakura what's that?" Naoko asked pointing to Spinel. Sakura patted his head affectionately. "This is Spinel Sun. Spinel for short. He's my bodyguard." Sakura said. Spinel purred in response. When Sakura stopped he nudged her hand and she started stroking him again. "Woah he's so cool." Naoko said. Sakura nodded her head. "Just don't touch him or he might bite your hand off." She said as Spinel glared at the group. "Sakura what's that little crystal on his head for?" Chiharu asked. "It's just a mark that Eriol put on him." Sakura said. "Speaking of Eriol where is he?" Yamazaki asked. "He's at home." Sakura said. She stopped patting Spinel again and he rested his head on her lap while her hand rested on his back. The bell rang and the other students entered the room. Seconds later Terada sensei entered. "Ms Kinomoto what might I ask it that?" He asked pointing to Spinel who was resting his head on her lap. "This is my bodyguard Spinel Sun." Sakura said patting his head. "What is he doing here?" He asked. "He's my bodyguard. He's guarding me." Sakura said smiling. "Do you have any reason for having him here?" He asked. "Since Eriol's not here to protect me I have Spinel here to." Sakura said. She gave her note to Spinel and he bought it to Terada Sensei. He quickly scanned the note. Then left the room. "Where did he go?" One of the students asked. "To call Sakura's parents probably." One of the others answered.
**************************************************************************** *************
At Eriol's House.
**************************************************************************** *************
Eriol picked up the phone. "Hello Eriol Hiiragizawa speaking." He said. "Excuse me Mr. Hiiragizawa but may I speak with Sakura's father or mother." Terada Sensei's voice asked on the phone. "Of course Terada Sensei." Eriol said he pretended to call for Sakura's Father. Then he answered the phone again. "Hello Fujitaka Kinomoto speaking." He said in his older voice. "Mr. Kinomoto I would like to know about this business about Sakura and her bodyguard." "Do you mean her bodyguard Spinel." "Yes." "He is her bodyguard. Seeing as how Eriol isn't there to look after her we have her bodyguard to make sure that no one harms her. We like to take our precautions." "Very well. But is the animal safe?" "He knows what he's doing. He'll only answer to Sakura if she orders him to do something or if he feels that she is threatened. Just make sure no one touches him." "Why is that?" "He'll bite anyone who touches him. He doesn't like being touched. Be sure to inform your class about that." "I'll tell them goodbye Mr. Hiiragizawa." "Goodbye Mr. Terada." Eriol said and he hung up the phone. "Master who was that?" Nakuru asked. "Why did you not go to school today Ruby?" Eriol asked. "There's no need to. I can't get Touya's powers and Yue would probably kill me because my master's girlfriend took his master away from him." Nakuru said. "Nakuru you know that's not a very good reason." "It is." "If you say so Nakuru."
**************************************************************************** *************
Back At Sakura's School.
**************************************************************************** *************
It was interval and Sakura was sitting under the Sakura tree with Spinel sitting beside her half sleeping while she was reading a book to him. "Sakura the child is coming." Spinel murmured while opening one eye. "I know." Sakura said patting Spinels' head. "I can sense him." She looked up and Spinel got up on his feet and turned to face Syaoran, Meiling and Tomoyo. "Spinel if I told you to would you rip their heart's out?" Sakura asked. "Yes. Just give me one good reason to." Spinel said. "Not yet we'll just see what they want." Sakura said. "Hey uh.Sakura." Syaoran said. "Hey Sakura." Meiling said. "Hi Sakura." Tomoyo said happily. "Hey Spinel." "Hello Tomoyo, Meiling, child." Sakura smiled. "Hi Tomoyo." Spinel said. "Enough with the child business you know I beat you." Syaoran said. "You only beat me because Eriol made me let you win." Sakura smiled. "You're still a child." "You know Sakura you really shouldn't be so mean to Syaoran." Tomoyo said patting Spinel on the head. "It doesn't matter. Come on Spinel." Sakura said standing up and walking away. Spinel walked behind her. "Uh hey Sakura." Syaoran said. "Yeah." Sakura turned her head. "Do you mind if we go to your house with you, you know to see Eriol." Syaoran said. "Yeah sure. But don't expect me to wait for you." Sakura said. Syaoran nodded his head and Sakura and Spinel continued to walk away. "You know I really thought she was nice." Meiling said. "She's was only nice to you Syaoran because Eriol told her to be." Tomoyo said. "Hey how do you know?" Syaoran asked. "Oh, Sakura told me." Tomoyo said. "How come she told you and not me?" Syaoran asked. "Because I'm the only one that she likes." Tomoyo said smiling. Sakura walked down to the front of the school and looked up. "After today Spinel Sun we're not going to come back." Sakura said. Spinel nodded his head in agreement. "I wonder if Eriol would want to come back." "No he wouldn't. Japan has seen enough of him." Spinel said. "You've got a point Spinel Sun." Sakura strokes Spinels head. Occasionally brushing past the jewel on his head. Spinel purred. "You like that don't you Spinel Sun?" Sakura asked smiling at the Sun Guardian. He nodded his head. The bell rang and Sakura and Spinel walked back into the classroom for Sakura's next two lessons.
Next time: Sakura and Spinel decide to have a little fun with Syaoran during their classes because of how he said that he was stronger then them. Sakura comes across some problems at Lunch and they go to see Eriol ^_^ I'm such a spoiler.
Cherrie: Kane what are you doing? Kane: * Sits on Cherries bed innocently. * Nothing. Cherrie: What are you doing? * Walks over to bed and lifts up the pillow and finds a tape recorder. Then presses play. * Tape recorder in Kane's voice: You will make Eriol propose to Sakura, You will make Eriol propose to Sakura, You will make Eriol propose to Sakura, You will make Eriol propose to Sakura. Cherrie: KANE! Kane jumps out the window and flies as far away from Cherrie as fast as he can. Cherrie: I'm going to kill that Moon Guardian when I get my hands on him. Oh well I'm going to sleep now. * Picks up tape recorder and tosses it at the wall and it smashes into a thousand pieces. Then goes into bed. * In the middle of the night Kane sneaks back in and puts another tape recorder under her pillow and presses play. Tape recorder in Kane's voice: You will obey your evil Moon Guardian, You will obey your evil Moon Guardian, you will obey your evil Moon Guardian.
