The nurse walked out of a room in the Intensive Care wing and went to the Nurse's Station.

"I don't know what's happened to her. All her vitals are good, but she's in a coma. It's as if her soul has been taken away."

"Don't be silly, Mina! People don't just lose their soul after an accident!"

"I was just saying... she's very pale, and-"

"Oh, come on! We're nurses, not exorcist or something!"

"Sorry." Mina picked up a folder. "Could you go check up on Miss Kinomoto?"

"Sure," the nurse, Jessie, took the file labeled 'Kinomoto, Sakura,' "Kinomoto? Wasn't she just in here a couple days ago?"

"Yeah," Mina replied, "That girl is pretty unlucky to be here twice in one week."

"You said it." Jessie proceeded to Sakura's room down the hall.

"Knock knock. I'm here to check up on Sakura."

Syaoran turned to the nurse. "Oh, okay." He reluctantly let go of Sakura's hand and stood up to leave.

"I'll call you back when I'm done." Jessie smiled and began her examination of Sakura.

"Thanks." Syaoran softly closed the door behind him and went to the waiting room.

"Well?"

"Hm? Oh, nothing yet. The nurse is just checking up on her."

"Oh." Tomoyo sat down and nervously fiddled with the hem of her dress. She looked up when a hand took hers.

"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be fine. She's a strong girl." Eriol tried to cheer Tomoyo up.

She gave a small smile that said "Thank you."

There was an awkward silence as Syaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo waited for any news about Sakura. After ten minutes, Jessie entered the room.

"Mr. Li? I have a report for you about Sakura."

~~~~~~~

A dark figure materialized next to the sleeping card mistress.

"So this is the one..." he waved his hand over Sakura's chest.

"Yes... a pure heart indeed. And such strength! She will no doubt be a great aid to us."

The figure snapped his fingers and disappeared.

~~~~~~~

"What is it?" Syaoran's heart raced, hoping for good news.

"Well, she's going to be fine. Her injuries aren't severe although she should take it easy for a while; the wound on her back needs time to heal."

"That's great!" Tomoyo beamed, "Can all three of us see her now?"

"She's still asleep, but go ahead."

They all rushed past the nurse, nearly knocking her to the ground. Syaoran was the first to reach Sakura's room. He slowly entered and sat where he was before, next to his sleeping beauty, and took her hand. Tomoyo and Eriol brought their chairs closer to the bed.

They sat for half an hour before Eriol broke the silence, "When do you think she'll wake up?"

As if on cue, Sakura stirred and opened her eyes. "Syaoran?"

"Hey. It's about time you woke up." he gently kissed her hand.

Sakura blushed a light pink. "Oh, I didn't know I was asleep that long."

"You were only out for a couple hours; Syaoran feels like it was an eternity, I would guess." Tomoyo smiled at her best friend, happy that she was okay.

Syaoran softly squeezed Sakura's hand. "How are you feeling?"

"Um, a little tired with a sore back, but other than that I feel great!" Sakura glanced at the clock. "One a.m.?! I can't believe you guys are still here!"

"Of course we are! I had to make sure my half-daughter was safe." Eriol patted her hand and grinned.

"Half-daughter--- Oh my gosh! I told my dad I would be home by nine!"

"Oh, I didn't even think to call! I'll go right now." Tomoyo left to find a payphone, but came back and grabbed Eriol. She winked at Sakura before rushing off again, giving the couple some privacy.

Syaoran turned back to Sakura, "The nurse said you can leave anytime, but you have to rest for a while."

"That's good..."

"What's wrong?"

"D-did you sense anything... evil... while I was asleep?"

"No, why?"

"I dreamed about an evil force... in this room." Sakura trembled remembering the strange occurrence, "He said something about a pure heart and being a good help to them.... at least I think it was a dream."

Syaoran put his arm around Sakura to calm her. "I think you probably just had a nightmare because of the fight with Kaori."

"Yeah... What happened to Kaori, anyway?"

"Well, here's what Eriol told me...."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mrs.Otaka? Your daughter is in this room." The nurse pointed to her left.

"Thank you." Kaori's mother stepped into the small room. Her daughter was lying on the bed with several monitor machines attached to her tiny body, which was marked with many cuts and bruises.

"Oh, my poor girl!" she cried seeing Kaori and rushed to the bedside.

"How did this happen?" she asked the nurse without taking her eyes off the injured girl.

"I'm not sure. Two boys and a girl brought her here, along with another injured girl."

"I see. What is her condition?"

"She's stable, all her vitals are fine, but..."

Mrs. Otaka looked to the nurse with worried, teary eyes, "But what?"

She took a deep breath, "Kaori is in a deep coma, and right now it doesn't look like she will ever come out of it."

"No...Kaori...she's all I have left... after her father died... no.." she laid her head on Kaori and cried.

The nurse put her hand on Mrs.Otaka's shoulder, "I'm sorry."

~~~~~~~~

"Hey, lovebirds!" Tomoyo returned to the room with Eriol. "I told your dad that you were hit by a car on the way home, and we didn't call earlier because we forgot. I didn't know if you wanted to tell him about Kaori."

"Nice story..." Syaoran said sarcastically.

"Hey, it's one a.m., what do you expect?!" Tomoyo glared at him.

Eriol sweatdropped, "Anyway, your dad and Touya are coming right away to pick you up."

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Tomoyo rummaged in her bag for a minute, "Here are your cards." she handed the deck to Sakura.

"Thanks." Sakura noticed something odd about the top card. "What's this? It's pink and green."

Syaoran turned it over to reveal a heart with wings on the card. "Hope..." he read.

"Where did that come from? Clow Reed only made 52 cards." Eriol examined the card.

"I...I created it after Syaoran left, but it was all pink and didn't have a name." Sakura said confused by what happened to her card.

"That's the card that revived you, Sakura," Syaoran took the card and smiled, "Hope showed me that you really do love me, and my faith in our love gave you a second chance."

"I guess your magic mixed with mine to activate Hope. Thank you, Syaoran." Sakura tilted Syaoran's head to face her and kissed him tenderly.

"Kawaii!!!"

Just because they have great luck, at that moment Touya and Fujitaka came into the room. Touya blew up at the sight of the couple.

"Aaaa!! You gaki! Get off my sister!" he started to chase Syaoran around the room before Fujitaka restrained him.

"Calm down, Touya!" he thought Syaoran and Sakura looked cute together.

"Hi dad, Touya!"

"Sakura, I'm glad you're okay, but how did this happen again?" Fujitaka was worried about Sakura since she was already in the hospital earlier this week.

"It's that Chinese gaki's fault! He probably pushed her in front of the car!"

Syaoran shot daggers at Touya. "Never would I do such a thing!"

"Um, I'll explain everything. The truth, not what Tomoyo told you. But let's get out of here first, okay?"

"Sure, sweetie." Fujitaka left to sign the out-patient papers.

Touya glared at Syaoran, while Syaoran glared back, and Tomoyo mentally taped (cuz her camera was smashed) while Eriol laughed at the two boys. Sakura sighed happily and admired her new card.

~I'm so glad I was given another chance. I love my life, no matter how crazy it gets.~

~*~The End~*~

One More Day, by Lady Yunaleska, theme song by Diamond Rio

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me, it could be for anything.
I didn't ask for money, or a mansion in Malibu,
I simply wished for one more day with you.~

Cast: (all play themselves)

Sakura Kinomoto
Syaoran Li
Tomoyo Daidouji
Eriol Hiiragizawa
Cerberus (Kero)
Kaori Otaka
Diablo
Mr.Terada
...and many others who are kind of important but there's too many. ^-^

One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you.

Special thanks to:

computer_chick, you gave me lots of good suggestions and your reviews always brightened my day!
CLAMP for creating CCS in the first place

First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone, keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second, say a million "I love you"s
That's what I'd do with one more day with you

Thanks to all my reviewers and the peeps who put me on their favorites list!!!

But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

And thank you Kero, Eriol and Tomoyo for your help co-hosting!

One more day
One more time...
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied,
But then again, I know what it would do,
Leave me wishing still for one more day....

Thank you FFnet for making this site so people can share their stories!

Leave me wishing still for one more day....

This story is dedicated to my mom, because she wanted to be a writer but has never got around to it.

Leave me wishing still for one more day....

....With you...





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Four years later: (you don't really think I'd stop up there, do ya? ^-^)

I am a dreamer
Hisomu PAWA

Stage lights came on and were directed at one girl. She stood with her back to the audience members, who were chanting "Sakura! Sakura!"

She turned around and the music started playing. Sakura Kinomoto walked down the steps and sang.

Watashi no sekai
Yume to koi to fuan de dekiteru
Demo souzou wo shinai mono
Kakureteru hazu

Sora ni mukau kiki no you ni anata wo
Massugu mitsumeteru

She continued to sing as dancers came on stage.

Mitsuketai naa kanaetai naa
Shinjiru sore dake de
Koerarenai mono wa nai
Utau you ni kiseki no you ni
"Omoi" ga subete wo kaete yuku yo
Kitto kitto
Odoroku kurai

As the instrumental played, Sakura joined the dances while cherry blossoms fell from the ceiling.

I am a dreamer
Hisomu PAWA

She then walked to a bench and sat while she sang.

Mada minu sekai
Soko de nani ga matte-ite mo
Moshimo risou to chigatte mo
Osore wa shinai

Tori-tachi wa kaze ni nori tabi wo shite yuku
Kyou kara ashita e to

A male dancer, who looked very familiar, pulled Sakura off the swing and they danced.

Tsutaetai naa sakebitai naa
Kono yo ni hitotsu dake no sonzai de aru watashi
Inoru you ni hoshi no you ni
Chiisa na hikari dakedo itsuka wa
Motto motto
Tsuyoku naritai

She ran to the edge of the stage and proudly sang to the audience.

Genkai no nai kanousei ga koko ni aru
Kono te ni--------
(It's gonna be your world)

The dancer came back and pulled Sakura to the center of the stage to dance around her with the others.

Mitsuketai naa kanaetai naa
Shinjiru sore dake de
Koerarenai mono wa nai
Utau you ni kiseki no you ni

The dancer picked her up and spun her around.

"Omoi" ga subete wo kaete yuku yo
Kitto kitto
Odoroku kurai

They performed a great dance while the music came to a close, and ended with Sakura twirled and dipped by her dancer as the lights faded. Some thought they saw them kiss before exiting the stage. (a/n: Bet ya know who it is! ^-~)

The crowd cheered, hollered and whistled for the spectacular performance.

"She has to win!" someone said.

"Well, duh! How can she not when she has Tomoyo Daidouji as her coordinator?!" said another between whistles.

A few more performances were made, but none as good as Sakura's. The MC came on shortly after the last performance.

"The results are in. The winner of Tomoeda High Talent Contest is..."

*Drumroll*

"......Sakura Kinomoto! Congratulations!" Sakura came on stage to accept her prize.

"I just want to thank Tomoyo and all of the dancers, especially Syaoran." she winked at him, "I couldn't have done it without them."

After the congrats and such, Sakura and her friends were getting ready to leave when a man in a brown suit with long black hair came up to them.

~~~~~~~~~~

Red fingers tapped on the chair armrest as the owner of them watched the scene in a pit of lava.

"That girl... we need to get her soon."

"Yes, Master. We have worked out a plan."

"Good. We can't let her powers be given to the light!"

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hello, my name is Allen Toriji, President of Toriji Records." He offered his hand, which Sakura shook, and Syaoran glared at him.

"I saw your performance tonight. You are an amazing singer. I'd like to sign you on with us, and you friend, Tomoyo Daidouji, as well. She did a great job organizing for you, and I think she could do well in my company."

Sakura just stared blankly, not believing what she just heard. "Are you serious?! Oh my gosh! I would love to!" She got excited and hugged Tomoyo.

"I'll do it, too!" she replied, and hugged Sakura back, then went to hug Eriol as Sakura hugged Syaoran.

Both were very excited, their dreams were coming true.... but how long would they last?

~~~The END End~~~

LY: Okay, that's gotta be the longest chapter I ever wrote. ^-^ Oooh new things are happening.... Sakura's got a new career with Tomoyo, S+S are together, so are E+T, it's kinda subtle right now though. But what's this new danger???

Oh! If you want to know that song up there in english, go here:

I'm not sure if I'm gonna put the sequel here or under a new story.... We'll see. I'll let y'all know what I decide.

I wanna thank everyone again, in case you zipped past the credits. ^-^ Those were fun to write. I don't know what else to say... I think I'm going to take some time off from writing to rest my brain and fingers and get some ideas for the sequel and my new story. Your suggestions are always welcome! I won't be gone too long, I'm thinking around a month. I'm not promising though!

This story was a lot of fun to write, I reached my goal and finished before summer was over! Yay! I'm glad you all enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to Season 2!

Kero: And don't forget to review on your way out!

LY: So, until next time, ja ne, minna-san! ^-^
