From the last chapter….

Eriol and Tomoyo were also up.  "Hey Sakura, are you okay? We heard you scream!" Tomoyo said running up to Sakura.  "Huh? Oh, it was umm...just a bad dream, that's all." Sakura said.  She started to eat her breakfast when Sakura then heard another scream from upstairs.  Sakura, wide-eyed, looked up.  "Michelle!" Sakura screamed as she dashed up the stairs.

Chapter 2!

            "Michelle!" Sakura ran upstairs and opened the bedroom door.  Syaoran was holding a quivering and crying Michelle.  "What happened?  Are you okay, Michelle?" Sakura asked as she picked Michelle up.  "Monsee undee bedeeeee!" Michelle cried into her mother's shoulder.  Sakura gave Syaoran a look saying Were-you-telling-Michelle-stories-again look. He shook his head and said, "It really was a monster.  I know it sounds weird but it was."  Sakura set Michelle down who ran out of the room. Syaoran and Sakura both perked up and at the same time said "Clow Card!" "This is really creepy! We captured all the Clow Cards years ago! How are there more!" Sakura said taking her wand out and extending it to her staff. Eriol ran in and asked "What happened to Michelle and Why do I feel a Clow Card?" he said looking around.  Sakura shook her head as she looked around when she saw Michel in the corner.  (Ok, if you guys don't know who Michel is then you have to read, "I've Never Had A Dream Come True")  "Clow Card, Return to your power confined!  Clow Card!" she shouted and the card was sucked into the card form. "The Mind?  What's it supposed to do?" Sakura asked.  "It plays tricks on your mind and shows your worst fears, like The Illusion." Eriol replied.  "Oh great, another stupid card!" Sakura groaned said thinking of a certain author.

  (SL:  HEY!  SO WHAT!  Sakura:  Suuuree, some author you are.  SL:  HEY!  WATCH IT!  Or something will happen to your precious Syaoran!  Syaoran:  HEY!  I didn't do anything!)

 "I don't know where these card are coming from, but I intend to find out!" Eriol said and walked out.  "Mommeeee!!!  To many monsee's!" Michelle wailed clutching to her mother's leg.  "Don't Worry Michelle, no more monsters." Sakura said smiling and picking her up.  "Come on, I'm starving, let's go finish eating!" Sakura said and walked out with Michelle still in her arms.  "Look Eriol, I'm worried about Sakura, she is going to kill herself with all this and with the baby coming you never know.  I want to know where these cards are coming from and how you know about these cards!" Syaoran said looking at Eriol.  He sighed.  "I'll tell you after breakfast…Tomoyo, Sakura, and Michelle are supposed to go shopping. I don't want Sakura to hear this just yet."  Eriol said.  "Don't want me to hear what?" Sakura said walking in.  "OH!  Nothing just a surprise for you my cherry blossom!" Syaoran said kissing her. "Ummm...yes...well come eat!" Sakura flustered and walked out.  "Works every time!" Syaoran winked, laughed and walked out followed by a smirking Eriol. 

            "Mmm…that was delicious!" Sakura said as she finished up her breakfest.  Everyone sweat dropped as they stared at her now empty plate.  "Ummmm…. Sakura…. you had pancakes with syrup, pickles, ketchup, corn, and mustard" Tomoyo wrinkled her nose. "What!  It was good!" Sakura said happily.  Syaoran shook his head. (SL:  Believe me!  I've seen worse!  Besides!  I used to put ketchup on my potatoes and dip my French fries into my ice cream, the McFlurry's from McDonalds! Lolz) Sakura yawned.  "Hey you guys, I'm not feeling well, Tomoyo why don't you take Michelle to go…" Sakura stopped as she fell asleep falling off her chair.  "Sakura!" Syaoran said getting up and rushing over.  He picked her up and carried her upstairs.  'What is wrong with her!' he sighed lying her down on the bed and covering her up.  He looked at the sleeping angelical figure, kissed her an d walked out closing the door.  "Is she okay?  Lemme see her!" Tomoyo said trying to get past Syaoran.  "No, you can take Michelle and go shopping without Sakura.  She's just gonna take a little nap." Syaoran said.  "OK!" Tomoyo said running to the kitchen and running back up with Michelle.  Syaoran sighed as he went downstairs to find Eriol.  Syaoran walked into the library to find Eriol reading and old looking book.  He looked up and put the book on a shelf.  "Ohayu Eriol.  Now please tell me what's up with these new cards!" Syaoran said sitting down.  "Bye Daddy!" Michelle said running into the library and into her dad's arms.  Syaoran had to admit.  The outfit wasn't bad.  A simple blue dress, with pink cherry blossoms sewn at the bottom.  "Bye Michelle, have fun!" Syaoran said setting her down, as Michelle nodded and ran out.  "Now, anyways, Syaoran, I really think Sakura is going to have trouble with this.  With her having the baby and all these new cards appearing, and a new force coming, well it's going to be really tough on her." Eriol paused.

"It all started back in Clow Reed's time. While he created the Clow Book, Michel was alive.  Michel was jealous and enraged at how extraordinary Clow's magic had become that he plotted to steal the book.  Although he didn't succeed.  So he sent himself to another dimension and as we know, came back and tried to take it but we got rid of him.  Also, another man, related to Michel, but a lot more powerful, had created his own book.  Clow found out and was furious and sent him to another dimension as well.  Clow was never able to find the book, nor able to locate it's magical powers.  The man probably hid its powers and placed it so that someone in the future could find it and cause problems over Japan and further.  Although someone recently has found this book, broke the seal and now has to try and capture the cards.  Although Sakura has been capturing them.  Clow knew that once they were loose, he knew not what to do so along with the Star Key ability to transform the cards; he gave it the ability to transform other things into Star Cards.  So someone else has the ability to capture cards and probably knows of the Clow Cards. So we just have to get the guy who broke the seal and deal with this.  Although it may not be easy for a reason…" Eriol finished.

"Why's that? Do you know who broke the seal and gained the magical powers." Syaoran asked.  Eriol nodded and mumbled a name, but Syaoran didn't hear.  "What? Say it again.  "Touya…" he mumbled.  "NANI!?!?!?" Syaoran said wide-eyed as he passed out.  Eriol sighed as he stood up, stepped over Syaoran's fainted body and walked out.  He went out to the kitchen to start making lunch. 

Sakura, who was upstairs sleeping, woke up from her nap.  She reached over to find no one.  'Where's Syaoran?' she wondered.  She yawned as she sat up.  She still didn't feel well, but was starving.  She looked in the mirror and reached for her brush and gently brushed through her hair.  She then changed into a blue skirt and a baby blue t-shirt.  She smiled gently as she looked at her stomach.  She wished the baby would come soon. She was so tired.  She paused as she closed her eyes and searched for the familiar auras.  'Syaoran's green aura is close by, probably the library.  Eriol's blue aura is near the library, the kitchen.  Michelle's gold aura is further, probably still shopping with Tomoyo. I feel my own pink aura but whose is the purple?' Sakura thought.  She could sense a Clow Card nearby to but didn't know exactly where. She decided to go and see Syaoran and then ask Eriol about it. 

Sakura walked out of her room and down the long hallway, down the flights of stairs and to the library.  She walked in to see Syaoran groan and sit up.  "What happened to you?" she asked walking over and helping him onto a chair.  "I fainted because Eriol told me…" he stopped not wanted to tell Sakura yet. "Ummmm, because Eriol told me that umm…Tomoyo decided to give Michelle some outfits for her birthday." Syaoran said pulling Sakura onto his lap.  "And why am I not surprised!" Sakura laughed.  She kissed Syaoran and jumped up and ran out.  Syaoran shook his head and sighed.  'Well at least she's feeling better!' he thought. 

Sakura was in the kitchen with Eriol talking as he made lunch.  Eriol finished his sentence and then dragged Syaoran across the room and said quietly.  "I didn't tell Sakura yet. And I don't really want her to know yet.  Did you tell her?" he asked him. He shook his head. "Good, I was thinking that we let her have the baby then tell her so that some stress is out of the way." He said. Syaoran nodded his head in agreement and then walked back to Sakura and sat next to her.  Eriol, I was wondering, have you felt the purple…" but Sakura was cut off as she heard a door close and some squealing and running.  "Mommy!!  Lookie!  Auntie Tomoyo buys me a anoder teddy and candy!" Michelle said jumping into her mom's lap. Sakura smiled at Michelle and smiled gratefully at Tomoyo.  "Arigato Tomoyo! I'm feeling a little better after that nap." Sakura said setting Michelle down.

Eriol, finished lunch and set it out for everyone.  Sakura ate it hungrily as Syaoran smiled.  'At least she is feeling a little better' he thought.  "So Sakura, when is the baby supposed to be born?" Tomoyo asked.  "Umm, well actually any time, really…" Sakura said looking over at Syaoran.  "Really!?!? Ohhh!!!!  I can make some outfits for the baby before it's born!" Tomoyo squealed as she quickly finished her lunch and ran off.  Michelle also finished and ran off giggling with Spinel Sun and Kero. Sakura yawned and said she would go back to her room saying she was really tired and also left.

Syaoran glanced at Eriol who had a look over worry in his eyes.  "I'll be right back." Eriol said.  "I need to see where Tomoyo has gone off to, check on Michelle, and see if Sakura's all right." Syaoran nodded as he finished and headed outside to train for a while. He was so tired of all this and needed to clear his head.

"Tomoyo dear, what are you doing?" Eriol asked walking into a room.  Clothes filled thousands of shelves; computers were set up in a corner and a single table sat in the centre or the room where Tomoyo was busy sketching some designs.  "Busy…" she mumbled as she erased something and started drawing again.  Eriol laughed as he walked over and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.  "What are you working on?" he asked.  "Umm, just an outfit for the baby and then I am going to finish Michelle's dress for her birthday tomorrow." Tomoyo said looking up.  "Ok, good luck, I need to check on Suppi.  Make sure Michelle doesn't feed him any sweets." Eriol laughed and walked out and Tomoyo got back to work. 

Eriol walked out to the toy room to see Michelle chasing Suppi and Kero around the room.  He laughed and then walked to Sakura's room.  He knocked on the door.  Sakura yawned as she got out of bed and went and opened the door. "Oh, hey Eriol." Sakura said. "Hey Saku…" Eriol paused as he sensed the flash of magic come and go by Sakura.  "Clow Card" was all he had to say when a black creature dressed in a black hooded cape came out and soon disappeared out of the room.  Sakura collapsed to the floor in exhaustion. "Sakura!  Are you alright?" Eriol said worried, rushing over.  "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm glad that that…thing…is gone.  I thought I was going to die!" Sakura laughed getting up.  "Come on, I got to seal this card before it attacks someone else." Sakura said getting her staff out.  But Sakura was to late.  A loud cry could be heard from the toy room.  Sakura, Eriol, Syaoran and Tomoyo all ran from their places to the toy room.  Spinel Sun and Kero were hovering over Michelle who was on the floor.  "Michelle! Oh no!" Sakura rushed over to Michelle and gently picked her up.  "Sakura, careful the card may attack you again!"  Before anything could happen, Touya came rushing in.  "Khan Card, return to your power confined!  Khan Card!"

SL:  MUAHH!  CLIFFHANGER!  What are these Khan cards?  What's up with Touya being a Card captor?  Or is he something different?  Is he bad or good? Stay tuned for the next episode of "LOVE AND CARDS!" lolz.  I am hyper today!  It's my birthday!  Lolz.  Enjoy! R/R!
