A/N- K-chan, please don't get mad at me for using Fuu's song! Sorry it's a cliffhanger, but I promise there'll be a really cool explanation later on. Remember the part in the first song about the ring, it comes back later! On with Chapter 3!

saki / kawaiisakura94- Oh, I like your story The Rebel! EVERYONE GO READ kawaiisakura94'S STORY "THE REBEL" ONCE YOU FINISH READING!!! ^_^

Sakura wiped her tears away as she went back on stage. "Thank you so much Tomoyo! Now, I understand you all love my first song ever, so let's see if you all still remember it. I want you to sing along with me." More cheers followed, then she sang My Only Love. She followed with thirteen other songs. Then she got ready for her new songs, the ones she'd only started practicing yesterday. "All right now, this is a brand-new song. It's called Before We Ever Heard Goodbye. As always, this is dedicated to my guardian angel, which has finally returned to Japan at last. But enough procrastinating. Let's go!" She said, shouting the last bit.

I remember that new pair of blue jeans
And man, your boots sure did shine
You had on my favorite 'cologne'
I knew what was on your mind

You picked me up in that Mustang
You were right on time
Had the radio on, it was playing our song
We were leaving the world behind

I wanna remember that loving feeling
When we were young and our hopes were high
A heart was something you could believe in
Love was more than just a word
Before we ever heard goodbye

That summer night down at the levee
You gave me your ring on a chain
here would never be another for me
Tell me why does everything always have to change?

I wanna remember that loving feeling
When we were young and our hopes were high
A heart was something you could believe in
Love was more than just a word
Before we ever heard goodbye

Sakura had to shout into the microphone to get the crowd to hear her. "The next song is called Soyokaze no Sonatine, or Sonatine of the Breeze."

When I silently chant your name
It refrains in my chest like my favorite song
My heart races every time I think of you
As if the wind was playing a piano

No matter how much I practice, I can't get better
The wind of loneliness just continues to crescendo
Stars in my eyes, you in my heart
Is this… love?

I draw, then erase, your caricature
With each recollection, I dream, and my cheeks just feel hot
The portrait of a smile that erasing doesn't diminish

I hit the piano again, unable to sleep
You probably cannot teach your heart lessons
But I still want to gently bring you the kindness of forte

I hope this prayer reaches you someday
Gentle breeze, deliver this sonatine of the heart
La la la la la. (This part is like a whisper and repeated a lot)

Just when the cheering was over, she ripped off her hat, than her mask, revealing herself to be Nadeshiko. She gave her audience one of her cheesy grins and walked to her friends. She pulled them up onto the stage, except Syaoran, who had fainted, and Yamazaki, because he was trying to wake up Syaoran. "Come on everyone, give a round of applause for my friends for moral support, even though only Tomoyo knew my real identity," Sakura shouted as loud as she could, because she didn't have the microphone with her. And so they did.

The next few weeks were chaos at her school and at home, and Tomoyo's mother insisted that the Kinomotos move into the smaller house on their property. Of course, this was only because Sakura's father was usually away anyway. Tomoyo's bodyguards drove Tomoyo and Sakura to school each day and picked them up as well. Luckily, Sakura's friends hadn't asked for autographs. She gave them to her friends anyway, since she knew they were just being polite in not asking.

Syaoran was avoiding Nadeshiko. He hadn't known that the Card Mistress was also his favorite singer. He hadn't bothered to tell his family. It wasn't really important. What was important was tonight. He was setting up a disturbance to try and make Shiko use the cards. He'd found out where her house was. He crept through the shadows to it, just to make sure she was home. He nearly fainted again when he found she lived in Sakura's house.

(A/N: I'm so sorry for making Syaoran seem like a fainting little wimp! I'm putting him through a lot of stress in this story!)

He realized Sakura must have moved. Well, he could hear Shiko shouting at someone in her room. Syaoran used his little yellow element card thingys to cause a major storm. Then he shielded his aura and hid in the shadows. Sure enough, she came outside with the key clutched tightly in her hand. He watched her transform it and use the cards. She defeated the storm and flew around with the fly card, looking like some weird angel. She disappeared from view. Syaoran thought he heard something, but figured it was his imagination.

Suddenly, time stopped around him and someone clasped a hand over his mouth from behind, laughing insanely.
