"Please do not be perplexed, but I think you would," Natasha paused, absorbing the curious looks from the group had on his or her face. "I'm your elder sister, Kinomoto Sakura"

"Sis… sis… sister?" Sakura stuttered in amazement.
"What? She can't have an elder sister!" Syaoran protested. "Your family name isn't Kinomoto! There's no way you can be her elder sister!"
"Yeh! Give it up and go home!" Eriol, who was now pissed off at the sudden change of events in his daily life, snapped at poor Natasha.
"Please… Please! Onegai! No shouting!" Natasha said. "I will explain if only we go to a quieter place." Natasha whispered to the group.
Soon after, the group went to the back of the school building and they settled down by a cherry-blossom tree.
"Right, now, I'm Sakura's elder sister because I was given away at birth to our mother's sister, Nadehiko Peterson." Natasha paused, letting the group sink in her words slowly.
"But why would my… no… OUR mother do such a thing?" Sakura asked in bewilderment.
"Nadehiko, my foster mother didn't have any children before me, so, our mother gave me away and she brought me up in America." Natasha explained.
"Then why is your family name, Peterson?" Syaoran questioned.
"Nadehiko married an American here in Tomoeda and so they moved to America because my foster father works there," Natasha paused again. She seemed to hesitate in telling them the full details after seeing multiple puzzled faces that all screamed out the expression of 'is this some kinda joke?' looks. "When I was 5, Nadehiko taught me Japanese."
"That explains why you were able to speak in our language fluently." Tomoyo said.
Natasha nodded. "When I was 14, Nadehiko told me the whole truth about my true identity and about my younger sister, Sakura and my elder brother, Touya. She told me to help you with your cardcaptoring skills because there is a new evil brewing up in Tomoeda and we'll have to work together as team in order to defeat this new evil."
Syaoran shrugged. "And I thought my mom was weird when it comes to cardcaptoring."
"That means your mom isn't a foreigner to the world of cardcaptors?" Natasha asked.
"Yeh, my mom back in Hong Kong, knows about the cards and Cardcaptoring too… just like yours." Syaoran explained.
"THIS IS SO EXHILIRATING!" Tomoyo squealed, with her video cam in hand.
"Nice introduction peoples." Eriol was leaning back against the tree. "So now what about this 'new evil'? Don't we just have enough of that crap?"
"I'm not too sure about what this new evil is either. But I've sensed his presence a few times. According to what my senses told me, this new evil cardcaptor draws out energy from the clow cards for his own uses." Taichi explained. "I also heard that he has a partner in this crime."
"Not too sure about that," Natasha continued. "But this dude is after my cards."
"Cards? You have your own cards?" Sakura's eyes went wide.
"That's the problem… you caught all the cards when I was in training and there wasn't any left for me."
Everyone anime drops at this point. (minus Natasha and Taichi)
"Smart. But how are you gonna protect your deck of cards when you don't even have ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE?" Eriol raised his tone at the sweatdropping Taichi and Natasha.
I'm sensing something, like an aura, no! TWO AURAS! But, I can't put my finger to what it is! Natasha thought but soon brushed it off.
"I'll unlock my staff and… we'll see what happens, because I don't know what gonna happen next!"
Everybody anime drops again, this time, minus Natasha.
Natasha then held her key up. It was silver and ice blue in colour and its design made no difference to Sakura's very own except for the silver heart and a blue crystal teardrop in the middle of the heart.
Holding the key up, the auburn haired girl began to chant the ancient incantation to release the power stored within the magical key.
"O key of silver love, with strength's of angels above and grace of rainbow's curve. I command you to unseal and release the silver tears traped within! Reveal!"
A reasonably long staff appeared in her hands and its features were more or less likely, exactly like the Star wand Sakura used but it was silver in colour.
Sakura gazed in awe at the beauty of the shiny staff when suddenly, a bright light surrounded the group and the entire Star cards floated from Sakura's pocket and encircled themselves around Natasha. After 3 rounds, the cards divided themselves into 2 packs, one being the Star Cards that belonged to Sakura whilst the other was a blue deck of cards known as the "The Tear Deck" which was obviously, none other than Natasha's deck of cards.
In the process, Eriol, Sakura, Syaoran, Taichi and Natasha felt two strong auras but brushed it off because of the excitement filling the dull air.
After a while, the light died down and the 2 deck of cards returned to its respective mistress.
For Natasha, HER deck of cards floated into her hands and formed another eye-blinding glow, causing everyone to shut their eyes even two other pairs of eyes that were hidden from the group's sight. Very soon, Natasha could feel the weight of a book on her hands. Opening her eyes slowly, she could see that a some sorta blue clow book was lying down there in her two palms and it had a unique tear drop clasp as a lock.
"This is helluva amazing!" Sakura squealed.
"This is twice as better than recording the battles Sakura had!" Tomoyo was jumping up and down with her shock proof camera in hand. Sakura suddenly got a feeling that Tomoyo was marking her battles as 'boring'.
"Hey, hey! Hey!" Another feminine voice popped from the new Clow Book in Natasha's hands.
"What the…" Syaoran was about to draw out his sword when a huge, majestic looking white tiger appeared from the book. Everyone could tell that it was female from the voice and the looks of the white tiger. Her armour was like those of Keroberos but it has blue sapphire gems glittered on the coat of the grey armour.
"Err… the guardian beast of the seal number two?" Sakura suggested sheepishly.
"Oh, gomen! Oh, quite close Sakura. Her name's Kleo, Kleoberos. Guardian of Tears and Love!" Natasha boasts.
RRRRIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGG
"There goes the school bell." Kleo moaned. "And I was just getting out for some fresh air."
The others laughed as Natasha commanded her new guardian to return back to the Tear Book. (A/N: yeh, it's called the Tear Book. GOT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT? *towers over readers in a scary way*)
Unknown to the group, a pair of crimson red eyes and another pair of icy blue ones were watching their every move… but forgotten to hide their auras a little lower which made Natasha earlier, sensed their auras. Luckily, she brushed it off.
~*~ Behind a peach-blossom tree that is allocated not far from the Sakura tree the group were at previously ~*~
Two students – a girl with red hair and a boy with silver and blue hair – sitting side by side on top a tree branch.
"So, they've finally sensed a presence from us." The girl said, eyes gleaming in an insane shade of icy blue to silver. "Too bad, they assumed that the one who is sending out all those presence is a BOY."
"Naw, they'll just have to keep this up with that stupid thought of that and they'll be dead in no time at all, that is, if we're lucky enough." The crimsoned eyed boy replied as he scooped the girl up into his arms and carried her down from the tree branch.
"Aww… you NEVER fail to have good ideas in your head." The girl giggled as she leaped down from the boy's arms. Together, they walked back to their class, hand in hand.
~*~ Back to Natasha and co. ~*~
Class went on smoothly for Natasha and our err… heroes and err… friends. Yeh… friends.
Natasha had told Sakura and the rest that they need to have a meeting right after school for a strategy against the new-evil-brewing-cradcaptor that she had told them about earlier. After what seemed like eternity, school finally ended and the group made their way towards Sakura's house for the strategy meeting.
~*~ Kinomoto Residence ~*~
"Wow! I thought you lived in an apartment!" Natasha squealed, receiving several 'anime drops' on the ground from the group. "What?"
"Why are you always tagging us along?" Syaoran asked in his lazy drawl.
"Because I am Natasha's partner and I am also her guardian! That's why." Taichi said casually, as if he was forecasting the next day's weather report.
"HE SI YOUR WWWWHHHHHHAAAAAATTTT????" The group screamed, causing poor Taichi to crash onto the floor form his spot on Sakura's sofa.
It was a lucky thing that Touya and Fujitaka Kinomoto were out overseas for a month, leaving the group surrounded with echoes everywhere and alone in the silence of the house. (Scary!)
"Hey! Hey! Cool down already!" Natasha yelled, pulling Taichi up to his feet. "He's something like your tomodachi, Yukito-san who has Yue-san inside of him. Taichi's guardian name is Yain."
Taichi sighed heavily, "Tell me Daidouji-sama, is that so exhilarating?"
"HAI! It is!" Tomoyo squealed happily into Taichi's ears, causing his hair to stand on ends.
Suddenly, Eriol, Sakura, Syaoran, Taichi and Natasha jerked up, leaving a poor Tomoyo, extremely clueless and left out.
"Did you guys feel it?" Sakura asked, unleashing her staff soon after.
"I definitely could." Natasha said before lowering her head and closing her eyes to sense the presence better.
I wonder how she can sense something that far… Eriol thought to himself. This presence is dark but it's so faint and quite hidden… yet to her, this sensation is crystal clear to her. She must be very powerful…
She is Eriol-kun, she has trained hard and she is actually powerful than you Syaoran and Sakura combined… a voice echoed in Eriol's mind which startled him but soon he brushed it off.
"It's at Penguin Park!" Natasha yelled.
"I sense it too! It IS at the pa-"
"KKKEEEEERRRRROOOOOO-SSSSAAAAMMMMMAA!!!" Natasha squealed, squishing him to her hearts content.
"AAAAHHHHH!! BREATHE! CAN'T BREATHE!" Kero screamed.
"Will you two save the hugging for later?" Syaoran pulled Natasha away from the airless Kero. "We have a card to capture!"
At this point, Kleo popped out form behind Kero, waiting for Natasha to climb onto her back.
"Who's she…" Kero floated dreamily to Kleo.
Taichi and Natasha hopped onto Kleo's back and flew out of the opened sliding door.
Just watching her made me feel so… ah… soooo… GOOD! Kero thought wildly in his mind.
Sakura and Tomoyo giggled as Tomoyo recorded Kero's love-sick expression which was totally a rare sight indeed!
"Hey… can we get this done and overwith!" Eriol barked, sending Kero back into the world of reality.
Eriol pulled Tomoyo up to an already fully transformed Spinel Sun's back and flew off to the park right after Kero transformed into Keroberos to carry the now blushing Syaoran and Sakura as they have to hug each other for dear life.
~*~ Penguin Park ~*~
"Ahh… I am beginning to smell 4 little disgusting brats heading this way."
A girl with flowing red hair sat atop a lamp post. On a tree branch not far from the lamp post stood a boy with silver and blue hair.
"I can feel them too… funny thing Hoshi hasn't come back yet," said the boy.
"Grr… this plan better work!" The girl scowled.
~*~ Somewhere near the park ~*~
A handsome teenage boy about the age of 18 leaned back against the graffiti decorated walls, in his right hand was a can of coke and under his left arm, he clutched onto a skateboard.
He wore baggy khaki cargo pants, very loose dark blue T-shirt with a black singlet inside it, black Nike air shoes, a metal chain around his neck that had a symbol of the Yin-Yang and a bulky digital G-shock on his left wrist. (A/N: ALL THE BRANDS ARE REGISTERED AND DOES NOT BELONG TO US! THANK YOU!)
He might be taken in for just another skater in the streets… or IS HE?
WHIZZ
Keroberos, Spinel and Kleo flew overhead, their movements were swift and graceful.
The skater boy removed his headphones and glanced up into the sky.
"So… they have arrived… I hope you are there too Yue… I will be awaiting your challenge…" the boy smirked evilly as he placed his headphones back on and made his way towards the park, with the beats of 9 inch nails music blaring into his ears…
