Chapter Fourteen: Cards Mistress.

'Well, I guess she made things clear. She doesn't love me,' Syaoran thought to himself as he drove home. He saw that his living room light was on. When he walked in, he was greeted with a surprise.

"Mother," Syaoran said as he saw her sitting by the fire sipping her tea, gazing into the flames.

"Son. We need to talk," Yelan said not taking her eyes off of the fire.

"What about mother?" Syaoran asked as he sat beside her as she turned to him.

"As you know, we are the direct descendants of Clow Reed and we should have been the ones to have the Clow Cards, you more specifically. I do not want this magic to be released into the world untamed. It will only cause chaos," Yelan began.

"Yes, I know this mother," Syaoran responded.

"I want you to find her and make sure she has the cards under control. Then, we will force her to go under the training you have done. It will be twice as hard because she has many years of it to undergo. You will help her with everything. You will also test her to make sure she is worthy of having her magic," Yelan said as she stood.

"Mother. Why are you making me do this? I hate the woman that took my rightful place. Why should be kind to her and help her? The testing and training I have no problem with because she is most likely weak and won't be able to handle with," Syaoran said also standing rather outraged.

"You are the Li Clan leader. You live in the Li Clan mansion. So you will take upon all of the responsibilities of the Li Clan leader. And because you have protested against it, you will now also train her. I have a room prepared. Good night my son," Yelan said briskly as she walked up the stairs and into her room with grace.

"Why are you and the Elders making me do this mother? She took my rightful place. I was supposed to be the ruler of the Cards, but no, they were already captured. I always vowed I would make her pay. And when I find her, that's exactly what I'll do. Make her pay," Syaoran whispered wickedly to himself glaring at the flames as he put them out with magic with a flick of his wrist.

"Mistress. Beware I am searching for you. And when I find you, only consequences will come out of it. Pain and suffering. Because you took my place, you will have pain and will suffer. By my hand," a voice yelled out.

"Who are you?! How do you know of the Cards?!" Sakura cried back.

"You will know who I am in good time Mistress! I know of the Cards because they are supposed to belong to me!" The voice spat out.

"They belong to me! And they are Sakura Cards now!" Sakura cried in desperation.

"Maybe so, but you won't have these cards of yours for long. I assure you," the voice said lastly. "Remember this name though Cards Mistress. Remember him as the one who stripped you from your magic. It is-"

Sakura shot up out of her bed, drenched in sweat. She looked around to observe her surroundings.

"It was just a dream. I just pray it's not a prophetic one. But that voice, it sounds so familiar," Sakura said to herself as she glanced at the clock. It was 6:30 so she decided to get ready for work. She was ready within a half hour so decided to make breakfast and coffee. When Eriol and Tomoyo came downstairs to the kitchen they were shocked.

"Whoa! Are you really that upset?" Eriol asked as he felt her forehead while Sakura swatted his hand away.

"Hey you guys. I had a really weird dream last night. I think it could be another prophetic one," Sakura said as she sipped her coffee staring at nothing in particular.

"Really? What was it about?" Tomoyo inquired.

"Well I was in a pitch black room and I was in the middle. This voice. it was such a familiar voice was saying something about he was going to come and get me because I took his rightful place as a card captor. He was about to say his name, but I woke up. He also said something about me going through pain and suffering and my cards wouldn't be with me for long," Sakura said thinking hard.

"Pay attention to those you least expect. I'll meet you in the car," Eriol said as he put his mug away and left. 'It couldn't have been Syaoran could it? Please! They aren't to know yet. Yelan had better not interfere!'

"Expect the unexpected," Sakura mumbled to herself.

"Is everyone in on something but me?" Tomoyo asked no one in particular as she too put her mug of coffee away. They all rushed out of the door as they dropped Sakura off to work. Eriol and Tomoyo continuously teased Sakura about Syaoran and the teddy bear throughout the ride, so she was happy to get out. She straightened out her top and pants before she stepped in. Today, she was wearing a baby pink tank top with white faded jeans. Her hair was done up in a messy bun.

"Hello. I do not believe we have met before," a woman with long jet- black hair and black eyes said politely as she moved aside to allow Sakura entrance. Sakura was in such a rush this morning; she completely forgot to hide her aura. That was until the woman peered at Sakura curiously. (I'm really sorry you guys! I completely forget what Yelan looks like, so if that's not the proper description, please let me know and give the right one okay? My apologies! Thanks!)

'Oh my goodness! How could I have forgotten to hide my aura? It doesn't matter where I go, it always has to be hidden,' Sakura thought frantically to herself.

"I will not tell him for now Cards Mistress," the woman said simply as Sakura stared at her in shock. "Xiao Lang! A woman is at the door!"

"Oh hi Sakura. This is my mother, mother this is a good friend of mine, Sakura Kinomoto. She also takes care of Mei for me whenever I'm busy," Syaoran explained as he came running down the stairs in a mad attempt to tie his tie. He was going to the actual building to work today. He had a meeting.

"Syaoran, every time you try and do this you fail miserably. I really need to teach you how to do this," Sakura said as she walked up to him and made him stand still as she tied it for him.

"I know. Thanks. I'll see you tonight around 6:00 p.m. right? We'll be able to make it tonight. I'll see you late. Goodbye mother," Syaoran said as he shot them both a smile, took his suit jacket and left.

"What is your relationship with my son?" Yelan demanded as soon as he left the house.

"Hold on a second lady. Who are you and how do you know I am the Cards Mistress and have the Clow Cards which are now Sakura Cards?" Sakura asked, as she was lead into the living room shutting the door. She cast a quick spell making it so that no one could eavesdrop on their conversation. The only way he or she would be able to hear is if they came from another entrance or had a stronger magic.

"I am a direct descendant of Clow Reed. I know all of the Clow magic and my son was supposed to be a card captor, but you had already passed the final judgment. The Elders were so disappointed in him. They made him train harder to become the leader, which should not have been done. Does he know?" Yelan asked and explained.

"So Syaoran has magic?" Sakura asked steering off of the topic of the question she had put forwards.

"Yes. All of the Li's have magic and get back to my question. Does he know?" Yelan asked more sternly.

"Who are you? You are demanding me to give you information when you haven't even told me who you are!" Sakura exclaimed.

"I am Yelan Li. Now answer the blasted question!" Yelan yelled back.

"No! He doesn't! He doesn't know. You can't exactly go up to someone and say 'hi, do you have magic? Because you know what? I'm the Cards Mistress!'" Sakura yelled in her defense.

"Well. you know we have magic now. I want you tell him. I'm giving you three days. Then he had better know by you. or it will become much worse and he will know from me," Yelan said as she got up and briskly walked out of the room.

"So you are the Mistress," a deep masculine voice said as he stood in the doorway. Sakura gasped as her face paled. She could recognize that voice from anywhere. She then realized this was the same voice from her dream!

Syaoran had come in to get his keys, which he had forgotten when he had heard yelling. Since his magic was a little stronger than Sakura's, he was able to hear. He had heard the whole conversation. and he would be true to his word. He would make her pay.
