Note: Thank you for the reviews!!! I know most of my chapters are pretty short, but here's a longer one. Please R+R!!!

Disclaimer: "Star light, Star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might. Have the wish I wish tonight. *I wish to own CardCaptor Sakura*" That wish has yet to come true. In other words: I don't own CCS, Clamp does.

Chapter 8: The Return Trip

*~*~*~* Sage's POV:

The next morning, I was the first to wake up. I was on Sakura's left side and Tomoyo was on her right. Syaoran was off on his own near the tree line and Eriol was directly on the other side of the campfire. Yue and Ruby were up in the trees together.

I got up, dusted myself off, went and caught a couple of rabbit, and started preparing them for breakfast. In order to start a fire with which to cook, I had to wake Eriol, but he said he was happy that I woke him up, he didn't like sleeping in too late.

As the meat was cooking over the small fire I had started, (The old-fashioned way. She can't start fires with her magic) Sakura woke up with Tomoyo waking up almost immediately after.

"What are you cooking?" Sakura looked over my shoulder, "It smells delicious!"

"Rabbit." I smirked when she twisted up her face.

When the second rabbit was done cooking Syaoran finally woke up. Eriol was sharing the first rabbit with Tomoyo and Sakura decided to eat some food she had brought instead, she didn't like rabbit meat.

When the second rabbit finished cooking, I offered three-quarters to Syaoran which he happily accepted.

"That was great!" Eriol exclaimed when he finished.

"That was the best I've ever had!" Tomoyo agreed.

Syaoran just nodded in agreement as he finished eating. Yue and Ruby then came down from the trees and commented on how good the food smelled.

"It's nothing. I've had to cook on campfires since I was little." I replied putting out the flame. Once everyone was ready to go, Diov burst into the clearing.

"Diov!" I ran over to him and threw my arms around his neck.

"Are you all right?!" He was upset about something. His dirty white shirt had a rip from the neck to about half-way down his body.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" I was confused.

"Because…I don't know. I felt you use your powers last night! Why?!" His eyes were full of concern.

*~*~*~* Tomoyo's POV:

When Sage started to laugh, Diov's confusion reached its peak.

"Sakura was taken captive by a tree and I tried to destroy the tree, but it didn't work. Everything is fine now, though." Sage kissed Diov on the forehead and giggled some more.

"Well, we need to get back to the Kinomoto Castle. Queen Nadeshiko wants to meet Sage as soon as possible. We also need to get back so we can plan what to do next." I spoke up, "And Diov, let me see your shirt, so that I can fix it for you."

He looked at me with a look that said 'yeah right', but handed it to me all the same. While walking, I joined the threads back together. I don't know if it really is magic or not, but I can fuse two ends of any kind of string together and whether as cloth or just a single strand, string of any kind will listen to me and do as I ask. The only person I have told is my mother, not even Sakura knows.

"Here." I handed Diov his shirt back after about five minutes.

He stared at it, trying to figure out what I had done, but, when he couldn't figure it out, he just put it back on and shrugged it off. That night, when we stopped for dinner, still a few hours outside town, I mended everyone's clothes.

"How do you do that?" Sakura was amazed when the hole apparently fixed itself.

"I don't know. The material listens to me and does what I ask it to." I answered, smiling, "I guess I'm not completely magic-less."

*~*~*~* Arukas' POV:

'So, Asiva was beaten. I didn't think she would be able to win.' The Diov arrived, "Traitor!!!" I spat when he arrived on the scene, "What the…" He was taking off his shirt and handing it to the girl with black hair. As I followed them, it felt as if the one girl was using a small amount of magic and when she handed Diov back his shirt, the rip in it was gone, as if it had never been. 'So. They all have magic…it doesn't matter. Hehe…'

"Master's calling…hehehe" I went to Ispep's lair, "Yes, sir?"

"Is she dead?" He didn't think Asiva would be able to do it.

"No. She still lives. And they all have magic, I found that out today! Hehehe!" I couldn't help but laugh at his face with the news of magic.

"Send Rorrim and Roim." His evil grin grew a little. I left in a flash, giggling the entire way.

*~*~*~* Third Person POV:

The group stayed at an inn in the town. They would have gone straight to the Castle, but decided to stay at the inn because of the time they reached the town, nearly midnight. They took two rooms with three beds each, the boys in one room and the girls in the other room. All six of them fell instantly to sleep.

The next day, everyone slept in until nearly eleven in the morning. After they were all up and ready to go, they headed out to the Kinomoto Castle, almost reaching it by that evening. They were about two hours from the castle when water from a nearby stream cut Sakura and Sage off from everyone else.

"AAAHHH!!!" Sakura and Sage both screamed while pounding on the wall of water before disappearing from sight, water, girls and all.

"Sakura!" or "Sage!" Everyone yelled when the walls of water disappeared with the two girls.

*~*~*~*

What Happened?!? Bwahahaha! I know! And if you want to find out, you have to wait for the next chapter!!! Hehehehe…!
