Disclaimer: Sadly (T_T), I do not own Card Captor Sakura or any of its characters, demo, I do own Emerald Star. ^___^ If you wish to use her, ask me first in your review or email me at Yami6265@aol.com.

MM: Hello again!! Last time, my sweet Star Guardian Emerald took our Card Mistress 'hostage' I can say, and lured my dear Yue into her dimension.

Yue: I guess DrM was right...MM's Star Guardian is evil also...MM'll probably try the same tactic as DrM did with me in 'In This Tainted Soul...There Lies Hope...' making me go to the evil side.

MM: Just for the record and I'll just spill it, yeah I'm following DrM's tactic and making you go to the evil side.

Emerald & (DrM's) Hei-ying: HAI!!!!!!!! *high-five each other in evil victory, I can say*

MM: And I will dedicate this chapter to DrM for that brilliant tactic of making her Yue and giving me the idea of making *my* Yue evil!! And I will also give her the credit she deserves!! *applauds w/ whole 'cast' as Ruby Moon hands DrM two trophies, one of dedication and one of credit* I also dedicate this chapter to Sunmistress, who finally reviewed!! *applauds again w/ 'cast' as Ruby Moon hands Sunmistress a trophy of dedication* I *also* dedicate this chapter to Sayuri, who was the first person to R+R my previously updated chapter!! *applauds *again* as Ruby Moon hands Sayuri a trophy of dedication* And nowwwwwwwwww-

Whole 'Cast': NOT ANOTHER DEDICATION!!!!!!!!!!

MM: It's time to go on with the fic!! *grins evilly as whole 'cast' drops to the floor anime-style* And there's also going to be a little E+T in this chapter, just to let you readers know.

Whole 'Cast': *mutters while eye(s) twitch in annoyance* We hate you MM...

MM: Hai, I know!! *leaves with Eriol's evil grin on her face as whole 'cast' groans in annoyance*

*Stress/Emphasizing*
-Thoughts-
"Speaking"

"Sakura..." Tomoyo murmured against Eriol's chest as he tried to comfort her. He looked into the room to find his guardians trying very hard to get the Sun Guardian of the Sakura Cards back to consciousness again. He averted his gaze to Syaoran, who looked like a nervous wreck and was still searching for any sign of Sakura. And as for Touya, he had no clue whatsoever as to the location of Sakura's older brother.

But slow breathing brought him back to his 'task', where he gazed upon a now sleeping Tomoyo. Slowly the dark blue-haired reincarnation turned the dark violet-haired girl's head to rest on his left arm, and then bent down and put his right arm under her knees, taking her into his arms. Watching her sleep right there in his arms made all kinds of bubbled-up emotions boil in Eriol's heart. He shook them away and proceeded downstairs to the living room couch, which he gently placed her on and threw a blanket over her body to keep her warm. Eriol stared at the sleeping Tomoyo before turning to go back upstairs.

Upstairs in Sakura's disheveled room...

Syaoran groaned in annoyance and sat on the floor. His hair had suddenly became a mess while he was searching for any sign or object that Sakura left behind. Now he cursed Mandarin under his breath and plotted revenge against the one that had separated him and his beloved.

"Emerald...I *will* get my revenge on you if you do anymore harm to Sakura." he swore.

In Emerald's dimension...

Sakura woke up to find herself surrounded in darkness. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she tried to re-picture the events that happened in her room, but they wouldn't come to her.

But she did remember one thing. She remembered her guardians' cries ringing through the wind. The way they sounded so frantic and desperate to get to her and save her before Emerald took possession of her body and mind. -And now, - she thought sadly, -I'm never going to see them or my family and friends again.-

A tear slid down her cheek at this thought. She sniffed and wiped it away quickly. -Iie, I mustn't think like this. I must think positively, for my sake and everyone else's.- Picking herself up, she then realized the black marble floor. Lines like veins ran throughout as some sort of design in the color of...

"Emerald." Sakura murmured.

Then came a moan not very far from her left. Sakura snapped her head towards the darkness, calling out, "Hello?" No reply came back to her. She turned in the direction of the sound. "Anyone there?" she called cautiously, wrapping her jacket around her tightly. She slipped a piece of yellowish-golden paper wielding Mandarin writing out of the inside pocket, and whispered the incantation written on it. A little fireball appeared and floated over the paper. -Okay Sakura.- she took a deep breath, -Let's do this and get it over with. And remember, there are no such thing as ghosts.-

Slowly she began to walk to the source of the sound, if there was a source. Her ears were open for anymore strange noises as the moan came again. She called out again but received no reply.

She continued walking as another moan came, but this time it was closer. She stopped, bending and waving the paper over the floor slowly for any sign of the 'source'. Some strands of white hair soon caught her eye.

Back in Sakura's house...

"Who will you get your revenge on?" a voice intertwined in calmness and madness asked. (MM: I *do* hope [and think] everyone knows who this is before I say it.)

Syaoran looked up to see Touya (MM: Ha!! I bet everyone thought it was Eriol!!) above him, his eyes looking a bit glazed over.

"Oh, Kinomoto-san...It's nothing..." Syaoran muttered as he looked down again.

"It sure doesn't sound like nothing," Touya countered as his face, unbeknownst to Syaoran, broke into Eriol's evil smile. "So I'm going to say good-bye to you right now."

"What the hell do you mean?" Syaoran muttered as he picked his head up to meet a sword coming down above him. "Nani?!" He dived to the side as the chair he had been sitting on was sliced in half. "What the hell do you think you're doing Kinomoto-san?!"

"What's with all the racket?!" Cerberus shouted, his head throbbing in pain. Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun had been successful in waking up a now very outraged Sun Guardian. His gaze averted to the future Li Clan head defending himself against Sakura's older brother. "What the hell!? Why is Sakura's brother fighting the Gaki!?" he questioned Ruby Moon, who was watching the fight.

"How would I know?!" Ruby Moon snapped.

"OK, OK, look, *now* is *not* the time to be arguing. Where's Master?" Spinel Sun asked.

"Right here! What's with Kinomoto-san?!" Eriol asked as he entered the room.

"We don't know! He just entered the room and started attacking Li-san!" informed Ruby Moon.

"Well we got to find some way to stop him then!" announced Eriol.

Back in Emerald's dimension...

Sakura gasped and followed the strands of hair to an unconscious Yue.

"Yue!!" cried Sakura.

The Moon angel was lying on his side, his breathing slow and shallow. Sakura turned him so he was on his back. -No signs of injury,- thought a relieved Sakura. She changed her position so that she was on her knees. She took Yue's head and placed it in her lap.

-Great...- thought Sakura. -Now what do I do?-

"You try to get your Moon Guardian back! Otherwise, he's mine forever!" stated a voice.

"Emerald!! Where are you?! And what are you talking about?!" demanded Sakura.

A strong gust of wind formed in front of the Card Mistress, and once the wind died down, Emerald was revealed, but there was a total difference in her appearance.

Instead of the overcoat and mini-dress, the young girl had on a sleeveless but long dark ruby red dress with slits on both sides that went up to her thighs. Her hair was the same color, dark green with light apple green highlights. Her wings, not black or angelic-like, now were faerie wings which edges were rippled (MM: Or ripped...) and were the colors dark red and in the middle dark green. (MM: Think of a cross between angel wings and butterfly wings...I know, it's kind of hard to imagine...) On her feet were high-heeled shoes the color of black. In her right hand she wielded a staff the same height as Eriol's, but was black and on the top held a star the color of Emerald's eyes. On each side of the star were the same type of wings Emerald had on her back. A grin appeared on her face at the sight of the shocked Sakura.

"So...didn't expect me to have a third form?" mocked Emerald.

"Iie, demo whatever it is you want from me take it, as long as it's not my friends or family." muttered Sakura.

"And what about your dear cards and guardians? You don't consider them?" pressured Emerald.

"Why of course! I consider my cards and guardians family! What kind of master or mistress wouldn't?!" Sakura shouted.

"You it seems. As you can see, your Moon Guardian is unconscious in your eyes. In mine, he's in a deep sleep and can't be awakened unless you defeat us both." pointed out Emerald.

"What do you mean 'us'?! I only see you as my enemy!" Sakura countered.

"That's where you're wrong. You can come out my love."

Another gust of wind picked up and died down as a mysterious being was revealed.

Sakura gasped and shook her head at the sight. -It can't be...- she thought. -I must be dreaming! Soda! I'm dreaming!- She shook her head a few times to clear her head of any stray thoughts and looked up again. The being was still there.

-Iie...- Sakura thought. -It can't be, demo it's...-

It's time for MM's A/N's!!

MM: Ha ha!! I left you on a cliffhanger!! You guys must hate me for that!
