~~Recap~~ Once through, she opened her eyes when she felt a slight breeze hit her face to see that she was standing outside of a large fence with a very large mansion, The Li Residence Mansion, on the other side. ~~
As Sakura slowly approached the gate she felt that she was being watched. 'Let them watch,' she thought to herself. With a wave of her hand the gate opened and she continued walking towards the mansion.
After a few minute walk Cerberus, Yue, and herself reached the front door, where one of the many servants of the Li Clan greeted them. "You have been expected, Card Mistress." The Bulter gave a small bow and waved his hand ushering towards the door.
Sakura gave a small nodded and smile of appreciation to the servant as they entered. "Where is Yelen?"
"The Lady Yelen is in the main room, waiting for you."
Skaura gave a small nod before walking down the main hall and into the main room, where she was greeted by sight of Syoaron's crying older sisters and Mei Lin.
Yelen stood up slightly off to the side and greeting them. "You should really come more often, Ying-Fa, Xiao-Lang is miserable when you're not here."
"It's good to see you also Yelen-san, but I wish that it was just a social visit that I was here for." Sakura looked around the rest of the room, noting that Syoaran wasn't there. She quickly looked at Yelen with worried
Everyone especially Kero and Yue looked in shock at the spot where just a few second ago she was standing then they looked at each other. She teleported without using the powers of the cards! They looked at Yalen who nodded at them, then towards the door as they felt a new but familiar presence.
Yelen spoke, "Wondered when you were going to arrive Eriol. It's not like you to show late."
Eriol looked at her and gave a small smile, then up towards the floor above. "Her powers have surpassed all my expectations of what they would be." He looked at Kero and Yue with a grin. "Don't worry you two, she'll be perfectly fine."

Sakura opened her eyes, turned, and walked towards Syoaron's bed. As she sat down on the bed beside him she reached out with her right hand and moved a loose strand of hair from his face.
She then placed both of her hands on his chest and closed her eyes. Mentally she started to gathered some of her energy and focused it to heal him. When she opened them she saw that her hands and his body were glowing white, then she looked up at his face and she saw him grimaced in pain. Realizing that there was an outside magic preventing her from healing him she reached into her pocket and pulled out the Shield card. Holding it above her head it emanated a glow as a dome of shimmering light surrounded her and the bed. Placing her hands on his chest again she closed her eyes and gathered her energy to try and heal him again. She focused all her mind on healing and cleansing him of the spell that was killing him. A few minutes later she opened her eyes and smiled when she heard him starting to breath normally and to open his eyes.
When Syoaron opened his eyes, he looked up and smiled at the sight of her sitting beside him. But when he tried to speak she put her hand to his mouth and shook her head no as she lifted a card above her head. A bright light fill the room for a few seconds then faded away.
Then she said, "There was dark energy in the room causing you to slowly die in your sleep and it prevented me from healing you the first time I tried."
Syoaron just smiled at her and nodded his head in understanding then he asked hoarsely, "How did you know I was in trouble?"
She answered, "I had a dream of you surrounded in darkness and calling for my help as you started to fade away." Then she broke out and cried as she hugged him.
He wrapped his arms around her and started to gently rub her back. "It's okay, Sakura and thank you."
Pushing her away, he smiled as he reached over to a nightstand beside the bed and picked up a small box. He paused for a few seconds then handed it to her. "I've been waiting for the right moment to ask you this, but with what just happened I better ask you now." He paused to take a breath then asked, "Sakura, will you marry me?"
Sakura gasped when she opened the small box Syoaron handed her. It was a gold ring with a light blue Sapphire, her birthstone (ancient birthstone for April), mounted in the center with two diamonds, one on both sides. She looked up at him through teary eyes and flung her arms around him, holding him tightly as she cried, "Yes!" and then kissed him.
Syoaron returned the kiss for a brief moment and then pulled away. "We better get downstairs and join the others."
Sakura slowly nodded her head and helped him to stand. Then hand-in-hand, they walked out of his room and down the stairs. When they reached the bottom of the stairs they were greeted with cheers of joy for Syoaron being well.
As Syoaron motioned for everyone to be quiet Sakura felt a new presence that she felt up in Li's room. Looking around for the person she felt her eyes fell on a young man entering the room looking very displeased at Li, 'Gregory,' she thought. As he forced his way through everyone he looked even more angrily at Sakura and his eyes told her that she shouldn't interfered. Stepping in front of Syoaron, she asked, "So it was you that tried to kill Syoaron?"
Gregory just laughed and said, "And what if I did?"
"Does being the next Leader of the Clan mean so much to you that you'll kill for it?" she asked.
"Yes," Gregory replied coldly.
"Then I challenge you to traditional clan duel but with one change," paused before continuing, "And the change is to the death."
"By what right do you get to challenge me, Little Girl? Your not even a member of the Clan," and he laughed.
Raising her left hand for everyone to see she said very angrily, "By right of being Syoaron's fiancée and by right of being Kinomoto Sakura, Card Mistress." And as if they were cued the cards floated out of her robe pocket and floated in a circle about he head.
Gregory smiled and said as he turned to leave the room, "Then I accept your challenge, Little Girl." As he reached the door he turned and raised his right hand towards her and it started to glow black and he grinned and said, "Then lets get started then shall we," and he fired a black beam of magical energy at her.
Ripping the pendant from her neck she held it out in her open hand and it started to emanate a bright yellow light as it began transformed into a long staff with a large crystalline star and two large wings on the end. The circling card about her head stopped moving and one of them started to glow and a shimmering dome of light surrounded her.
A few seconds later the black beam made contact and dispersed into shards of hundreds of harmless black lights.
