Sakura brought the knife up to her room. In there, she wrote four letters. One for Tomoyo, Kero and Yue, her family, and Syaoran. When she was done writing, she put the letters in an envelope and wrote the names on each one. Then she went to check on Kero in her father's room. Kero was staying there, since her father was away. Sakura saw that Kero was snoring and hugging a stuffed chocolate like pudding that Tomoyo had made for him. Sakura smiled a smile that she hasn't worn for a long time. Sakura then walk back to her room and closed the door. Sakura looked at the knife, remembering how much memories the knife held. She remembered cutting her birthday cake and Tomoyo's goods. Sakura took out a sheet of paper and wrote 'time' on it. She waited for the clock to strike nine, when it did, she wrote nine p.m on the sheet of paper. Sakura then held the hand in both of her hands and closed her eyes while she brought down the knife.

Kero was sleeping softy when something in his mind told him to wake up. When Kero woke up, he felt that something was missing and gone. He went to Sakura's room to see if she was alright and that she wasn't crying herself to sleep again. When Kero got near Sakura's bedroom door, he felt that something was wrong. When Kero opened Sakura's door, he saw a sight that was horrifying...his mistress was lying on the ground when a knife through her heart. Kero quickly went to Sakura to see if she could be saved, but Sakura wasn't breathing. Kero softly cried as he went over to Sakura' phone and dialed Tomoyo's.

Tomoyo was about to go to sleep, when the phone rang. Tomoyo took a glance at the caller i.d and saw that it was Sakura, Tomoyo was happy that her friend was calling once again. When Tomoyo picked up the phone, she was surprise to hear Kero's voice, instead of Sakura's.

"Kero? What's wrong?" Tomoyo asked.

"S..Sakura...s...s..She c..Comited s..Suicide!" Kero cried in replied.

"WHAT?!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

"C...Come over....please?" Kero plead as he continued to sobs.

When Tomoyo got to Sakura's house, she ran up to Sakura's room and saw Sakura lying on her bed and Kero trying to get the knife out of her heart. Tomoyo dashed over to Sakura's side and cried there. After Kero finally gave up on getting the knife out of Sakura, he tried to get a hold of Yue, by transmitting his energy. Tomoyo kept on asking a dead Sakura 'why'.

After a few hours, everyone knew that Sakura was dead. Touya had back home early from his job, Kero had gotten a hold of Yue, after Tomoyo ran out of tears to cry, she phone Syaoran to tell what had happened.

"Hello? I can talk to Syaoran?....No, it's very important!....Why? Just put him on the phone!...Fine, I'll wait," Tomoyo got ticked off by who ever had answered Syaoran's phone. Tomoyo had to wonder who the girl that picked up was.

"Hello? Syaoran speaking," Syaoran answered.

"Syaoran? Listen, I want you to come to Sakura's house a.s.a.p," Tomoyo said quickly.

"Why?"

"She committed suicide!"

"What?! Hmm....Naru, stop that! Not right now....I'll go to sleep later.....I promise....I love-" Tomoyo had hung up. The nerve! I can't believe that she do that at a time like this! Tomoyo thought angrily.

When Syaoran had gotten to Sakura's place, Tomoyo saw that Naru was clutching on his arm, still dressed in her night gown, while Syaoran had enough time to change. When Touya saw Syaoran, he wanted to beat him up, since he was the cause for his sister's death. Tomoyo had start crying once more, unable to control her sobs. Syaoran went to comfort Tomoyo a bit, but when he got near her, all she did was point a finger upstairs at Sakura's room. Syaoran didn't know what to do so he just followed Tomoyo's finger and went up to Sakura's room, while Naru followed. Kero and Yue saw Naru and wondered who she was.

Syaoran nervously opened Sakura's bedroom door and gasped when he saw Sakura lying on her bed with dried blood on the clothes she was wearing. While Syaoran went over to Sakura, Naru looked around her room. Hmm...for the Clow mistress, her room is pretty small, how can she live in this? If the Clow mistress is dead, that would mean that Syaoran would the Clow Master now, and his family would be proud of him, and me too, of course! Naru thought to herself. When she looked at Sakura's desk, he noticed four letters, and one of them was address to Syaoran. Naru picked up the letter and showed it to Syaoran.

Naru wasn't surprise that Syaoran hadn't cried out a single tear like the others that she saw downstairs. Syaoran placed the letter in his pocket and went downstairs. When he got downstairs, he saw Eriol there. Eriol then asked Kero to explain how he found Sakura like that. When Kero finished explaining, he went upstairs and came back down with the Sakura Book and the other three letters. He handed the letters to the person that was addressed to. Tomoyo quietly placed the letter in her purse and continued to sob. When Eriol tried to open the Sakura Book he was thrown back.

"What just happen?" Touya asked.

"A spell has been caste on the book," Eriol explained as he got up.

"And that would mean....?" Kero trailed off.

"My little descended here isn't the next master. Someone else is, unfortunately," Eriol explained.

"What? Syaoran isn't the next master? How can that be?" Naru exclaimed.

"Well, if the master or mistress 'picks' a person, the person that he/she picks is the next master or mistress," Eriol explained, receiving a glare from Naru.

"So, Sakura has chosen someone ELSE?" Kero asked, as he ignored Naru's glare to his former master.

"Yes, it seems like that you'll have to wait and see who it is. For the meantime, Kero, Yue, I suppose that you can stay where you are now, unless you want to live somewhere else," Eriol told the two guardians.

"Dad's coming back as soon as possible. He said that the funeral will be on April first, Sakura's birthday," Touya said as he got off the phone with his father.

After some more talking, Tomoyo offered Kero to live with her, since she has a lot of sweets. Kero sadly took the offer. Eriol was going to stay at Tomoyo's house until Sakura's funeral. When everyone left, Touya quietly went up his room and opened the envelope. As Touya read the letter, he didn't notice that tears were falling from his face. When Touya finished reading the letter, he felt that it was his fault that Sakura was dead.

When Syaoran and Naru got back to the place that they were staying, Syaoran told Naru that he was going to sleep. When Syaoran heard Naru sleeping in the other room next to his, he opened the letter and read.

Dear Li-san,

I'm not sure if you remembered the promise that you made with me years ago, but I do. Since you broke it, I have no reason to live on. I have chosen a new mistress to keep the Sakura cards. I know that you thought that you would be the next one to keep the Sakura cards, but I thought that they needed to new master/mistress that is true to his/her words. I know that this letter might hurt your feelings, I'm really sorry if they do. I just want you to know that I'm really grateful to have you help me turn the Clow cards into Sakura cards. I think without your help, I wouldn't be able to do that.

I don't know if this is too late to say these words, but I'll say them anyway. I LOVE YOU.

Sakura.

Syaoran felt as he was being stabbed when Sakura wrote Li, instead of Syaoran and that she had thought that he broke the promise, but in a way he did. Syaoran quietly undressed himself into his sleepwear and cried himself to sleep.

When Tomoyo got home, her mother was waiting for her at the front doorsteps. Tomoyo ran up to her mother and cried in her arms, while Kero hid in Eriol's bag. After Tomoyo told her mother when Sakura's funeral was, Tomoyo quietly walked up to her room like a ghost. When she got there, she showed Eriol a room that he could stay in for a few days until Sakura's funeral. While Eriol unpacked, and Kero flown to Tomoyo's bed to sleep, Tomoyo quietly got out all the video tapes that she had tape of Sakura. After a few hours, Tomoyo fell asleep.
