Last thing that happened. . .

Yelan smirks. "So. . . . . Meiling has powers. This could come in handy." She mutters.

"But. . ." She continues. "I have other plans." She says looking straight at Syaoran. "Xiao Lang. . ."

She holds up a card. "This will do it for me."

The camera closes in on the card and we see what it was. In clear black letters, it said The Clear.

Part Ten

Syaoran was standing out in the balcony again. Sakura comes behind him and wraps her arms around his waist.

Syaoran smiles and turns to her.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

Sakura smiles, "Of course. . ."

"I mean with the Clow Cards. . ."

"If you're with me, I'll always be okay." She comments.

Syaoran smiles and looks back at the sky.

"Shaoran!" They hear someone call out. The two turn around to be faced by Meiling.

"What is it, Meiling?" Syaoran asks.

"Auntie Yelan might get worried if we're out too long." She states.

Syaoran sighs, "I might as well go and face my mother."

Sakura nods and gives him a small kiss, "Please be careful. . ." She says.

Syaoran nods, "Of course. . ." The three of them walk off the balcony and into the room to see Tomoyo and Eriol at it again on a bed.

Sakura giggles, "Get a room, you two."

Tomoyo and Eriol suddenly stop and turn around. Tomoyo blushes, "Sakura!"

Eriol stands up and brushes himself, "Are you leaving, cute descendant?"

Syaoran glares at Eriol, "Shut up, Hiiragizawa. . ." He said coldly.

Sakura giggles, "Come on, you two. Stop fighting."

Meiling puts her hand on Syaoran's shoulder. "Let's go, dear cousin." She says.

Syaoran turns to him and smiles, "Okay, Meiling."

Meiling nods and waves bye to everyone. Syaoran does the same except he kisses Sakura.

"Bye everyone!" He grins. Syaoran and Meiling leave.

Sakura sighs, "I hope that Syaoran will be okay against his mother."

In the Li House

Syaoran enters his house along with Meiling behind him. As soon as he walks in, he's met with the face of his mother.

"Mother. . ." He says coldly before moving quickly up the stairs. Meiling passes by to hear his mother mutter something beneath her breath. All she was able to hear was "Soon" though.

That evening. . .

Syaoran turns in his bed. He groans as he dreams that something horrible would happen to Sakura.

In his dream. . .

Syaoran watches helplessly as a shadowy figure walks quickly to Sakura. He hears the person's last words before he pulls out a sword.

"I have finally gotten the Cards. Mother will be happy." The person says coldly.

Syaoran watches with fearful eyes as he sees the person lunge his sword into Sakura.

Syaoran gasps as Sakura's lifeless body gets thrown across the ground. He runs towards the person, almost seeing his face but his vision suddenly turns black and Syaoran sees nothing.

Back in the Real world. . .

A figure stands before Syaoran. "It is time, son. . . To have you back on my side. Where you rightfully belong." The moonlight hits the person helping to see her better. Yelan holds up a card, The Clear. She closes her eyes and mutters softly. "As the true founder of these deck of Clow Cards, I command you, The Clear, to clear the memories from this selected person of the feelings he felt towards the Clow Mistress and all they have gone through to make them come together."

The Card takes form over Syaoran's body. Its visible form nods slightly and quickly enters Syaoran's mind.

Yelan smiles as she watches Syaoran's body glow slightly. "It is done. . ." Yelan says as she walks out of Syaoran's body.

The Next Morning. . . (Okay. . . I know I'm skipping a lot of days but a lot of this stuff is irrelevant. Whee! I'm learning big words!)

Syaoran walks out of his room with a confused face. He sees Meiling standing next to him.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Shaoran!" Meiling greets with a smile.

Syaoran hears her voice and turns to glare at her. Meiling steps back in shock. 'Something's different. . .' She thinks.

In a cold voice, Syaoran asks, "What are we doing in Hong Kong?" Before listening to Meiling's reply, he comments. "It doesn't matter. . . As long as I'm away from that pathetic excuse of a Clow Card Captor." He heads to the kitchen where he was met with his mom. Syaoran smiles as he bows, "Mother."

Meiling enters with a confused face. Yelan smirks as she greets her, "Meiling."

Meiling looks up to see Yelan smiling and blinks. She thinks to herself in confusion, 'Something is definitely different and wrong.'

Yelan smirks, "What are you to do today, Meiling?"

Meiling looks up and Syaoran hisses at her to answer.

"I. . . I. . . guess I'll hang out with some friends. . ." She says softly.

Syaoran smirks too, "You have friends?"

Meiling snaps at him, "Yes I have friends!" She immediately rushes out, "Excuse me!" She exclaims angrily as she stormed out. 'He's. . . .He's acting like he did before. . . . before he started to like Sakura. . .' Meiling thinks.

She grabs her jacket and starts towards the door. She finds Syaoran near the door, apparently waiting for her.

He had a small smile, "Is Sakura in Hong Kong?" He asks Meiling.

Meiling was startled at his actions. How did he know? She nearly smacks herself mentally. 'It's kinda obvious. . . Syaoran can feel auras.' With keeping this in mind, Meiling cautiously hides her aura.

She sighs and replies to his question. "Yes, she is in Hong Kong."

Syaoran smiles, "Bring me to her."

Meiling blinks, "Why?"

"I want to prove that I am the true superior magician and I should hold the power of the Clow Cards, not her."

Meiling rolls her eyes, "NO. I will not bring you to Sakura."

Syaoran blinks in shock. The Meiling he knew would never yell at him much less ever let go of him. "What?"

Meiling crosses her arms, "You heard me. I will not bring you to Sakura to start a fight. Now, I'll be on my way." She says, pushing Syaoran out of the way and walking out of the door.

Yelan sees the whole scene and smiles. 'This couldn't be going any better than what I had planned.' She thinks as she walks up to Syaoran.

"Xiao Lang? Will you let her get away with that?"

Syaoran turns around, "Away with what?"

"Are you going to let a non magic person speak to you like that? Especially if she has no power over you?"

Syaoran shakes his head. Anger starts to take over his emotions. Yelan notices this and smiles. She continues to talk. "Or are you going to let that pathetic Sakura take the Clow Cards from our family?"

Syaoran starts smiling. Without noticing, his eyes start to turn red with all the anger stored in his mind.

Yelan smiles as she sees him change to his old Clan outfit, the green outfit which he used to wear. "He has done it. . ."

With Meiling. . .

Meiling watches as Sakura collapses on the bed. Tears were running down her face. "No. . . No. . . Please don't tell me that's true. . . Syaoran couldn't have changed. . . He wouldn't. . ." Sakura says.

Meiling nods mournfully. "I'm sorry Sakura. . . It seems that his feelings towards you are the real thing that was taken away. . ."

Tears continue to fall. "No! No! Syaoran!" She exclaims. Meiling hugs Sakura, "It's okay, Sakura. . . . We'll help him get his memories back. . ."

Sakura nods but still kept crying, "I just can't stop!" Sakura tries to wipe away her tears. She grabs her jacket and starts to walk towards the door.

Meiling calls out at her, "Where are you going?"

Sakura turns around with teary eyes. "I just. . . . need to take a walk. . ." She says.

Meiling tries to stop her, "But Sakura. . ."

Tomoyo taps Meiling on the shoulder, "Let her go. . . She needs the fresh air to clear her thoughts. . ."

Meiling nods and Sakura mouths "Thank You" to Tomoyo.

Tomoyo nods and all three watch as Sakura walks out the door. What no one noticed was that not only did Sakura leave, so did Kero.

With Sakura. . .

Sakura walks in the park. Tears continue to fall and her vision was become more and more blurry. She finds a bench to sit on. She starts crying more until something enters her senses.

Her head snaps up in shock. She shakes her head in disgust, "A Clow Card. . . At this time. . . ." (This Clow Card is not The Clear, just to verify.)

She stands and starts wiping off her tears to prepare herself for the next battle.

"Stop." She hears a cold voice call out towards her. Sakura turns and gasps.

"No. . ." She mutters quietly.

To Be Continued. . .

*sighs* Gomen! Cliffhanger I know. . . . People will probably want to kill me now. . . . *grins* But it makes you look forward to the next chapter, doesn't it? *waves* Well. . . Ja! :Þ
