AN: This is my first attempt at writing fanfiction!! Look for a Sailor Moon fic and Gundam fic coming from me soon!! In this story, Sakura has just passed the final judgement, and she is still transforming the Clow Cards into Star Cards. Also----- I haven't seen the whole series, so I apologize if I messed up on a lot of things. I also used a few lines from the Manga and show. See first chapter for character info.

Truth of Your Reflection
"Julian! No!" She threw herself at the disappearing boy.
"Sakura!" He outstretched his arms towards her, full of trust. But unfortunately, trust wasn't enough.
It just wasn't enough... Julian... The fallen angel as she had liked to think of him was gone. Not dead... Just gone.... Gone for good? She didn't know. But she intended to find out.
"Julian!" She dropped to the floor once more and pounded down hard with her fist. "No!" She sobbed. "Please... I don't want to lose everyone I care about! I don't even know if anyone's okay... And what about me? What am I supposed to do?" She waited for the answer that she knew wouldn't come. She pounded the floor again, and this time, though she wasn't aware of her strength being at such a high level, she broke one of the boards in half. The only thing weirder than that was the fact that light was shining through.... A bright white light. A wind picked up around her, and the blinding light enveloped her. She knew exactly where she was going. "I'm coming Julian."
Sakura landed in a flat plain. The odd thing was there was no colour. None. Not even a sky or a ground... Everything was just.... Black.
"Where am I?" Her voice echoed off into oblivion, useless. There didn't seem to be sound, either. She would have to use..... something. None of her other senses seemed to be of use..... She couldn't smell, hear, taste, feel, or see anything. She tried to take a step. She slowly pulled her foot up, moved it forward, and unsuccessfully tried to set it down.... She tried once more. This time she succeeded. And then everything around her shattered. "Gah!" The inky-black darkness flew up in shards around her. "Somebody help!" But of course no one could help -for a very good reason. They weren't there, and they wouldn't be there ever again unless she found them. She drew herself up.
"I will find them," She whispered. "And when I do, I will tell them the truth. The truth about me being a cardcaptor."
She stood up and began to run through the now 'lush plain', full of trees and flowers. It was however, colourless. Black and white, with only the suggestion of shading.
An artist's worst nightmare. She laughed in spite of the seriousness in the issue.
"Well, not much I can do...." Her stomach growled hungrily, and she noticed it had been hours since she had eaten. She forgot her lunch. She took a look around, and found several black berries, though she first thought that she couldn't be sure they weren't poisonous since she couldn't see what colour they were.
"Here goes nothing." She muttered.
Li sat up straight. He could tell something was wrong. He could always tell when something wasn't right. He was Clow Reed's descendant after all. He picked up the phone, paced around with it lying lightly in his palm, and set it down again. Pick it up, put it down. Pick it up, put it down, and that was how it was, with the battle being fought in his head.
Come on! Call! You know something's wrong.
What if she thinks your an idiot for calling to check on her?
What if she's in trouble?
What if she's not?
What harm would it cause? He shook in anger.
"Argh! Fine! I'll call her!" He picked up the phone again, and pressed the speed dial button that said: 'Sakura'. It dialled up the number, and Li let it ring several times. One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six...
"Okay, I'm going to go and check this out." He announced to no one in particular. "Sakura always answers her phone."
Sakura had long since finished off the berries, and she decided to explore. She seemed to be walking down a hallway. There were green circles, red squares, blue triangles, and yellow ovals, all floating in mid-air... She was very confused. There didn't even seem to be an exit; so she decided she'd just keep going... There was no point in going back after all, since there wasn't anything there except the colourless field.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" There came no answer of course, but it was a little reassuring to know that she could speak normally again. Her footsteps echoed down the hall, and it was only then she remembered the gift from Li. She pulled out the neatly wrapped present, and started to tear at the paper.
"Hmm..... Could this help?" She slid the gift out of it's casing. It was a box. She opened the box and found a piece brightly coloured paper. It had three words on it.
"Great.... A piece of paper?!?!" She looked at it again. It read:
Trust your reflection.
"Trust my reflection? Trust my reflection for what?" She shook her head and sighed. She tucked the box back into her pocket. "Everyone is disappearing... It's like the Erase Card all over again!" She slumped to her feet. The words kept racing through her mind with several other questions, all of it going a mile a minute. Trust your reflection... What did Li mean? Where was this place anyway? How had those berries grown with no water? Why did this hallway have floating shapes? Where had the others gone? Were they all right?
Li ran to Sakura's house. No one answered when he rang the doorbell. He ran up to her room, (Feeling a little embarrassed barging up there,) and scanned the area. No Sakura. He flumped down on her bed and dialled Madison.
"Hello." Came a pleasant voice.
"Madison, I-"
"I'm not in right now, but please leave a message after the tone and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible."
"......Beep!"
"Madison, it's Li. Please call me back or pick up if you're there. I need to know if Sakura's there- something's wrong... Call me." He hung up.
"MADISON!" Sakura cried out in anguish. "LI!" Salty tears started at her green eyes and trickled down her cheek. "ANYONE? CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?" She collapsed. There was no family. No friends. No secret crushes or Guardians that could help her. She was alone. "Is this some stupid test?" She cried. But she knew that even if it was there wouldn't be an answer.
Madison set down her video camera. She was outside, and had been looking through her camera filming birds and insects zoom past her and onto future adventures in the sky, when she heard the familiar beep from her answering machine.
"Oh no! I missed a call!" She ran up to her bedroom and pressed the button. The message was replayed back to her. "I wonder what happened..." She called Li. He was still in Sakura's bedroom.
"Ohayo.....?"
"Hi Li, it's Madison." He told her what had happened. "Really? Hang on, I'll be right over."
"Okay." They hung up simultaneously. Madison grabbed her camera, (She had set it down when she was talking so as not to drop it,) and headed for Sakura's house. She was there in 10 minutes.
"I'm here!" She ran up the stairs and bumped into Li.
"Sorry! I was just so worried!" He didn't even turn to glare at her.
"That's all right. I'm worried too."
"What should we do?"
"I don't know.... Tori and her dad aren't here either...."
"Did they go on a trip or something?"
"No. The door was unlocked." Madison sat down. So did Li. "Besides..." He whispered. "Keroberos isn't here either." Madison felt hot tears streaming down her face.
"Sorry, I-"
"It's all right." They sat there for what seemed like hours. Sakura was nowhere to be found, and Madison found herself staring at the doll she had made last year so long ago, a complete replica of Sakura. Li found himself staring around the room at a certain animal he had won for the cardcaptor at the fair. Neither spoke. And they both started to disappear at the same time.
"Aaah! Li!" Madison screamed.
"Element Wind!" Huge shocks of wind surrounded the fast-disappearing Madison, trying to pull her up. But it wasn't strong enough since Li was disappearing too.
Sakura heard a loud 'thud' from somewhere behind her, and looked around. No one was there. "Even if this is some stupid test.... I'm still going to make it through." She muttered to herself. She kept walking.
Sakura found herself in a room. Oddly, it wasn't dark and grim like the other rooms. It was full of furniture.... And it had a.... Soda machine? She inspected it closer. Nothing seemed wrong.. But appearances can be deceiving, she reminded herself.
"Care for a drink, Madam?"
"Hmmm? Oh... No thanks." She turned around and saw Julian. He smelled of spices.
"Julian! Oh it's you I-"
"Julian? Who's Julian?"
"What? You are!"
"No Miss, I'm not Julian, I'm James, the butler. Julian is over there." He pointed to the hallway riddled with shapes that she had just come out of.
"Um... Thanks." She sat down and stared at the butler. He really did look like Julian, though she was puzzled as to why she had thought it was him. Sure, he had the same hair and eyes, and even the same smell of spices and flowers, but.... He didn't act like Julian. She turned around and saw.... Yueh?
"Yueh?" The man turned to face her. She glanced at a mirror on the wall before continuing.. The butler was gone.
"Who's Yueh?" He whispered as Sakura gave him a frightened look.
"Then.. Who are you?"
"Yai...." He looked as puzzled as she did. She shook her head.
"Nevermind. Sorry sir." She should have realized it wasn't Yueh when 'Yai' turned around and had no wings. Something was always different about the 'copies'. Yai didn't have wings like Yueh, and if James was Julian, he must have had a complete personality change... But maybe Yai and James were one in the same like Yueh and Julian..... But she pushed that out of her mind when she turned around and saw that Kero was there.
"Kero!" Her shoulders felt like a great weight had been taken off them.
"Kero? I'm not Kero, I'm Kure. Sorry to disappoint you." The weight was back. Well, the distinction between the two was easy. Kero wasn't that polite. She shuffled her feet until she arrived at a row of chairs and sat down. Beside her seemed to be Madison, Tori, Meilin, Keroberos, Li, and Fujitaka. ((AN: His name in the anime is Aiden, but Fujitaka is Sakura's dad.))
"Hi I'm Sarah." The Madison-like girl sneered. She was really snobby.
"Um... Hi. Do you like to film people by any chance?"
"Boring! I hate movies!" Well it wasn't Madison that was for sure. 'Tori' spoke up next.
"I'm Tom." He smiled.
"Hi..."
"Hey.. Do I know you?"
"No... I don't think so." Sakura replied.
"Oh.... Want to be my girlfriend?" Sakura was in shock. She wanted to hit him but knew it wouldn't do any good.
"N-no thanks. I think I'm a little young for you. Sorry."
"Okay!"
Can you spell c-r-e-e-p-y? She thought. A guy like that couldn't be her brother Tori. It was silent for several minutes then Sakura decided to ask the supposed Keroberos (Who turned out to be Kifmelif) if he had heard of Clow cards.
"No. Is it a video game or something?" He replied, puzzled.
"Um... No, it's not." Well, this Keroberos DID like video games.... But he was completely ignorant of the Clow cards. She spoke to Meilin's copy next, doubting greatly, but wanting to know someone.
"........Meilin?" The girl didn't respond. Instead she clung to 'Li' and held up a sign. It read Mally.
She obviously liked 'Li' but she was too quiet to be Meilin.
"Li?"
"No. Luke." He whispered.
"Ok... Erm... Luke." He wouldn't talk after that. Though Li was quiet at times, he never completely ignored her. She was desperate for conversation.
"Dad?"
"No. Dan. Who are you?" He sneered. Where was her kind loving father, the one who sewed, and cooked, and cared about his children more than anything in the world? Obviously not here.
"Nevermind... Goodbye everyone..." Sakura stood up and walked over to the end of the room. Everyone stood up. Sarah, Tom, Kifmelif, Yai, Mally, Luke, and Dan.
"Where do you think your going?" They hissed together.
"I.... I need to look for my friends...."
"We are your friends."
"No! You aren't!"
"We can be....." They hissed. She stepped back and took a deep and shaky breath.
"No. I'm sorry, but no one can replace my friends. You can't."
"You will be our friend. You will." They hissed and transformed into horrible monsters. Evil spirits that would make the bravest man want to run and hide for cover. They began to advance slowly.
"You will be our friend." They hissed again. "You will be our friend."
