Takako: I tried to make Touya-Syaoran battle abit more blood-worthy but nah! I love them both too much. Touya-kun! *runs and glomps Touya* O_O;;; Thanks for reviewing!
animegirl-mika/Michelle: How should I address you? Do you prefer animegirl-mika or Michelle? Thanks for reading my fic! *glares at writer's block* Nope. It still doesn't wanna let up. Sigh....
Comet-hime: Zettai I will write somemore!!! I will fight against this annoying writer's block! *Clenching hands into fists, fire blazing in the eyes* Thanks for reviewing!
yue-chan: Err...ok..hee..hee..I will write more *backing away as yue-chan continues to glare* Hoee??!! *stares in amazement as yue-chan runs off faster than when Syaoran ran away from Yukito* Thanks for reviewing!!!! *calls out after yue-chan*
Lufia: MUAH HA HA HA!!!! Dancing lobsters??!! Ha ha HA! Lufia, you're a scream! Soo funny! Dancing lobsters!! *starts to roll on the floor* Anywae thanks for reviewing! Another word for cool? Ermm... How about "Subarashi desu wa!!!" That's Tomoyo's word for cool ^^
ccsfan: Q1: Li's blushes does get out of the control. This is proven if you have watched the original version of CCS. Q2: Sigh..Sakura can be a very dense girl when it comes to love but that makes her all more kawaii!!! Q3: Hee hee.. I don't know but I'll make sure to it a big point if she does. Q4: *starts to shake head* Tomoyo and Eriol is really as dense as Sakura when it comes to the subject of love. Sometime you just wanna pour honey over them and set drunk Suppi on the loose! Q5: Epp! You don't knoe what Hanyaan means??!! Alright! Time to show off my knowledge on CCS *Puts on glasses and starts to act all smart* Hanyaan is a word invented by CLAMP. Sakura often used it to express the feeling of love and happiness. If you watch the Japanese version of CCS, Sakura often used "Hanyaan" around Yukito and Mizuki-sensei. Sakura uses both the power of moon and the sun. Yukito and Mizuki-sensei uses the moon power. This also explains why Syaoran thot he was in love with Yukito. Syaoran too uses the power of the moon but a different version from Mizuki-sensei thus explaining his mistrust over her. And also Yukito/Yue is the guardian of Sakura and a mistress will have mutual affection towards their guardians. Whew! That was long! Thanks for reviewing! Err..hope u understand what I have written ccsfan! ^_^X
Haru No Hime: *looking at Haru No Hime worriedly* Are you ok? You seem to be a little breathless ^_^ Thanks for reviewing and reading!

That took up almost half the page ^^.
On with the story then.
Disclaimer: *rolls eyes* Does anybody actually read this? Sigh...CCS belongs to CLAMP and CC belongs to episodes-cutting Nelvana. There. Done.
WOOD?
Later that night.....
~Sakura~
%Dream%
Where am I? There are trees all around me. Am I still in Hawaii?
I saw a figure dashed past me. I chased it. The buzz of green and yellow suddenly stopped in front of a large tree. Wood? Is that you? No it can't be Wood. Wood doesn't have wings. I have the card with me.But it has leaves all around her body just like Wood.
"Is that you Wood?" trying to make sure.
The Wood-look alike actually glared at me.
She opened her mouth to say something, when suddenly the whole world started to shake.
%End of Dream%
"Sakura? Sakura?!" It was Tomoyo. I sat up on my bed, flinging my comforter aside.
"Are you ok? You were tossing around on the bed like you are having a nightmare."
"No, not a nightmare exactly." I tried to recall my dream. "I'm not sure what is it"
"Want to talk about it?"
"Nah. Go back to sleep. I just go get a glass of water." I got up from the bed. Tomoyo started to get up too but I insisted she goes back to sleep. The poor girl looks like she is awake for half the night. I bet it got something to do with the conversation I accidentally-on-purpose overheard, she had with Eriol. Sigh... Those two should wisen up and just let fate do the work. (A/N: For someone who is dense over her love life, she sure is smart when it comes to other people. -_-''') I walked out of the room. To my surprise, the kitchen's light was on. I looked inside and saw Syaoran staring at a glass of water, deep in thoughts.
~Syaoran~
I felt a pink aura near the door. I looked up and sure enough I saw Sakura. She was wearing this white pajamas with Holstein cows all over. Only Sakura can make a ridiculous pajamas looks so sexy.
"Hey," she greeted, still standing at the door.
"Hey".
"Erm...Am I interrupting something?" shuffling her legs nervously.
"Nope. Have a seat," I pulled a chair out. What was I thinking? I shouldn't let her seat so close to me! I probably embarrass myself!
I watched Sakura filled a glass with cold water from the fridge. She sat down beside me and slumped down her chair. All thoughts of embarrassment flew out of my head.
"What's wrong?" I asked, worried. I saw her bit her lower lips.
"I had a strange dream." Huh? I tried my best to pull my eyes away from her lips. She gulped down the glass of water.
"I had this dream. I was in a forest and saw this thing that looks just like Wood. I don't think it is evil. But the glare she gave me told me otherwise. Do you think it is a prophetic dream?"
"A prophetic dream? A dream which actually came true? Yeah, maybe. You are the card mistress after all" She frowned and looked at her glass of water, worriedly. I felt like kicking the back of my head. Stupid Syaoran! Why do you have to make her worried?
"Err... Then again it could be a normal dream. I mean, you have dreams that never actually becomes a reality right?"
"Actually all my dreams turns out to be prophetic dreams," then she brightened.
"Oh, I do have one dream which I'm sure it's not real. I dreamt that you still sleep with a soft toy bear called..." she thinks hard. "Oh yeah! Muffy! What a ridiculous dream. That can be counted as a non-prophetic dream right?"
I tried to say '"Of course not!", but I am not the type to lie so I just settle on blushing like a tomato. Sakura's eyes widened when I didn't answer her.
"Err...well... Anyway, I'm sure if this dream turns out to be a reality I'm sure everything will be all right," she then looked down, studying her hands, hair covering her half of her face.
"Especially when there will always be you around," she said softly.
Two warm pink spots appeared on my cheeks. Then I smiled. For one moment, I felt that this amazing girl beside me here actually reciprocate my feelings. Sakura looked up and smiled at me. I smiled back at her.
For that one moment, I let that crazy thought lingered.....
~~~~~~TIME INTERVAL (THE NEXT DAY)~~~~~~
~Tomoyo~
"Wah! So that is Kilauea Volcano!" Sakura said, leaning over the railing. We were in a small ship, which was big enough to hold the whole class. The ship moved closer towards the volcano, making Kilauea Volcano bigger. Sakura's eyes got bigger too.
"It's big isn't it?" Eriol whispered behind me. I swiftly turned towards him. He was looking right at me. I gave a him a smile and turn to look at the volcano. I nodded my head.
"Tomoyo? What's wrong? You seem to be a little quiet today?" I racked my brain, thinking of what to say to him. I am NOT going to tell him I was tired because I couldn't sleep. He will probably figure out it is because of him. Thankfully, Tereda-sensei distracted him.
"Ok class. If you turn to your left, you could see Kilauea Volcano." Everybody turned to the left, there were a lot of oohs and ahhs going around.
"There are 5 volcanoes in Hawaii. They are the Mauna Loa, Hualalai, Lo'ini, Haleakala and lastly Kilauea. Kilauea Volcano was recorded to be the world's most active volcano. It had erupted continuously since 1983." (A/N: This is just some facts that I researched on, you might not be interested anywae :P. But I'll just type it down)
"Did you know....?" I immediately perked up at Yamazaki's voice. Nothing beats seeing Sakura's and Syaoran's face when they were heard Yamazaki's lies. Except you can't see Syaoran's face now. He is busy sticking his head out in the sea, emptying his breakfast.
"Did you know that when lava flows out of a volcano and on to the ground, it will forms a layer. That layer is called a 'bench' It may look hard enough to step on but when somebody did...." he turn towards Sakura.
"KABOOMM!!" He shouted, raising his arms for emphasis with eyes opened. Yes! Open! How many times do you get to see Yamazaki's eyes opened? This is one of those very rare moments and I of course got this on tape.
"Hoe!!!!", Sakura shrank back.
"The whole layer will collapsed! And did you know...?" he continued. Red veins started to pop on Chiharu's head.
"The volcano is said to be the house of Pele, a Hawaiian goddess and she...argghh!!!".Chiharu produced a huuggee baseball bat from behind and hit Yamazaki right on the head. Yamazaki sunk 3 inches down into the floor.
"Ermm...Actually Chiharu, what Yamazaki said were actually true facts," Tereda-sensei clarified.
"Oh. Hee....hee...." Chiharu hid the baseball bat behind her, flushing with embarrassment.
"Did you know...?"
Huh? We turn to towards Yamazaki. Apparently he had recovered from Chiharu's head bashing.
"The Hawaiian used to go up to the volcano and barbeque their marshmallow making it all soft and....WHACK!"
"That I definitely know was a lie" none other than Chiharu, exclaimed.
We all sweatdropped at that .
Not disappointing us, Sakura exclaimed "That was a lie?!"
Hee hee.... Sakura is so innocent. No wonder Yamazaki loves to tease her even though Chiharu's beatings leave him with bruises that take weeks to recover. Having such a violent girlfriend is such a trial.
"Did you heard?" Naoko asked, spectacles gleaming so brightly you can't even see her eyes.
"We are going to have one of those courage test just like the one we had in 4th grade!"
"Cou-cou-rrage te-te-test?" Sakura stammered.
"That's right. Do you think there will be...." Everybody shook their heads, trying to stop Naoko from finishing her sentence but being Naoko, she was too absorbed with her 'scary' tales.
"Ghosts?" Naoko finished.
"HHHHOOOOEEEEEE!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed almost scaring the souls out of everybody, and grabbed the nearest person to cling on.
Unfortunately Syaoran was that person. But instead of the usual shade of red, he turned into a murky shade of green. He puffed up his cheek and covered his mouth with his hand. He mumbled something which sounded like, "Sakura get away from me, I'm going to throw up!" but Sakura, still suffering from an aftershock, was pretty much paralyzed. Syaoran turn into a more yellowish base colour which warned me that the bile is halfway up the esophagus and that prompted me to grab Sakura away.
Immediately, Syaoran leaned over the railing and started to throw up. And throw up. And throw up. And throw up. Geez! Just how much does that guy eat for breakfast? For a normal person, his stomach should be empty after the 12th throw up. But his on his way to the 14th throw up. Nope. Make that 15th. No, 16th.
Of course I got this all on tape.
~~~~~TIME INTERVAL~~~~~~
I watched Eriol and Sakura supporting Syaoran as they led him to his bedroom. Syaoran had worn himself out by repeatedly throwing up. I tried my very best to save Sakura's dress from getting ruin but to no avail. Sakura insisted on feeling Syaoran's forehead and fanning him etc etc. The girl meant well but in the end her dress might as well be a rag to wipe up Syaoran's puke. Sakura doesn't seem to be too worried over her dress though... Thank Kami-sama that the dress was not one of my design. I will probably play this tape to the whole school if it is.
~~~~~~TIME INTERVAL (THE NEXT DAY)~~~~~~
~Eriol~
Tereda-sensei was explaining about the courage test which prompted some yays and boos. I wasn't paying attention to it. I was busy looking at this particular girl who was busy comforting Sakura. Kero, who was invisible thanks to my magic was muttering something about card mistress but still afraid of ghosts. Tomoyo seems to be a little distance lately. I tried to strike up a conversation yesterday on the ship but she seems reluctant to talk to me. She probably hates me. Damn it! I wish I didn't kiss her! Everything changed because of that kiss.
"So now I will put you guys into groups..." Groups? Did Tereda-sensei said groups? I used a little mind probing which I was blessed with to get Tereda-sensei to group Tomoyo, Sakura, Syaoran and me together. Sakura gave me a grateful smile while Syaoran gave an expression between a frown and a smile. They both felt my magic flaring. Sakura was probably grateful to have me by her side in case some 'ghosts' appeared. Syaoran was probably happy to have Sakura in his group but was not sure about me.
"Ok minna, each of you will get a coloured band. All you have to do is followed the trees tied with your coloured band. You will see some things for you to pick up. Bring back all the items to the finishing line. The more items collected, the more points you get. The forest however is densely populated with large trees so it will be quite dark. If a group does not finish this test by 45 minutes, don't worry just stay put. We will call a search party." Sakura was getting increasingly worried. She began to dig her fingers in Tomoyo's arms and tighten her hold around Kero. Tomoyo doesn't seem to mind but Kero was turning into a suspicious shade of purple.
Tereda-sensei gave us a yellow coloured bands. We tied them on our wrist.
"Tomoyo, what if there are ghosts?"
"Of course not Sakura, there is no ghosts, right Eriol? Syaoran?" I jumped slightly when Tomoyo mentioned my name. Well, ok she mentioned Syaoran's name too but she said my name first! MY name.
"Of course not Sakura. Syaoran will protect you from anything, right Syaoran?"
Sakura swung towards Syaoran suddenly and bring her face close..
"Really Syaoran? You will protect me?" she said, eyes as big as saucers.
Syaoran was too mesmerized by those eyes but to just nod his head. I can't help but chuckled at that. Mentally of course. My descendant can be a really dummy when it comes to Sakura. (A/N: woo-hoo! Looks who's talking!)
"Ok minna, on the count of three, you will proceed the test."
"One.....Two.......THREE!"
~~~~~~TIME INTERVAL~~~~~~
This is weird. It's been twenty minutes but not a single yellow coloured band on any trees. Of course I could just levitate and Sakura could just use Fly but we are not into cheating. Well, not much anyway.
Beside there is some strange aura going on in this forest. Sakura was already digging her nails deeper in Tomoyo's arm causing Tomoyo to flinch a little. Kero was concentrating really hard to find the exact location of the aura. Syaoran's sword was already out. We could really use his Laisen board right now but no...he just had to leave it behind.
"We are walking around his circles!" Kero shouted, exasperated.
"That's right. I tied a ribbon to a tree and there it is again." That's my girl Tomoyo. A really smart girl. Did I said 'my' girl? That is not right but I like it.
Syaoran leaned against a tree, putting down his sword and sighed.
"Syaoran, get away from that tree." Something is definitely not right with that tree. Sakura and Syaoran probably didn't feel it. I guess only my level of magic can feel the strange aura.
"What?" Syaoran smirked. "You think I would have trigger a vortex or something to lead us to another dimension?"
And that was what exactly happened.
It was like what the Return card did. A black hole opened up on the tree trunk. It sucked Syaoran in first then it the hole got really big as if it decided we are the right kind of meat it wanted.
I tried to use my magic to stop it and Sakura tried to summon her wand but it all happened so quickly. Then everything went pitch black.....
All of us woke up at the same time. The surrounding was blurred and I righted my spectacles and shook my head slightly to clear the web in my brain.
"Wood?" I heard Sakura mumbled.
I looked up and echoed Sakura.
"Wood?"
A/N: How was it? Sorry minna I couldn't update this sooner. Isetan was having a mid-year sale and I was helping out a friend. Anywae, the sale ended on the 6th of June and now I am free to update this fic! R+R please! I know this is short but I have to end it here. Sorry for the cliffhanger :P I know there isn't much funny stuff going on but it was meant to be that way.
