I'd like to thank everyone for being so patient with me. I know I took a long time. I'm sorry. Thanks for all the reviews, I loved them all.
Disclaimer- How could I own something as wonderful as CardCaptor Sakura? If I did though, which I don't, but if I did, I would make all the episodes played in Australia be re-dubbed so that all the episodes are exactly like the would be in Japanese.
That is all.
Chapter Seven
"Ok…. Let's see, where to begin? Oh, I know." Yuri mumbled to herself. "Clow Reed may have been a powerful sorcerer, but he was also a loving husband and father. His wife, Evelyn, was a sorceress. They were deeply in love. They also had three children. One son, who was the eldest, and two daughters who were twins. Now, it just so happens that Clow Reed wasn't the only one to create cards or be reincarnated. Evelyn created her own set of cards, called the Eve Cards which are identical to Clow's. She also got reincarnated, along with her children. Evelyn was also reincarnated into two separate beings. One was Sakura's mother Nadeshiko, and the other is…." Yuri paused, seeing if anyone could guess. "You obviously can't guess yet, so here's a clue. Nadeshiko and Fujitaka loved each other deeply. Some of this was part of their own emotions, but some was also Evelyn's and Clow's feelings. They are soul mates and are destined to be together. Now, since we have one half, who can figure out the other?"
"It's Tomoyo, isn't it?" Syaoran asked, looking at Tomoyo.
Yuri smiled at Syaoran. "It's nice to know that someone pays attention. Yes, Tomoyo is the other half of Evelyn. Which says something about this pair." Yuri said, looking at the blushing Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Who did the children get reincarnated into?" Touya asked.
Yuri stared at him. "Come on Touya, think. Now, I may not have given much information on them, but you can probably work out who they are. The eldest son had the ability to see into the spirit world."
"I'm the reincarnate?" Touya asked, surprised.
"Yes, you are Touya. There hasn't been any change. Your name and looks and personality is exactly the same now, as it was then." Yuri said. "Now the twins. One was destined to get her father's book, the other, her mother's. I'm sure you know who they are."
Naoko looked at Sakura. "So let me guess, Sakura was one twin, and you were the other."
"Yes Naoko. Sakura took after our mother in looks, while I got mother's eye's and father's hair. Our personality hasn't changed at all. And one thing, I'm not usually moody, I'm usually quite happy. I've been moody as I've been getting accustomed to having my family back."
"Why was Sakura in pain the other day?" Meiling asked.
"It's because, although she couldn't remember, a small part of her recognised me as her twin. The separation of twins can be quite painful. I had to leave, because I had to go see if the falls were still flowing."
"What falls?" Tomoyo asked.
"Why Rainbow Falls of course. This is where I live. It used to be our holiday home. Sakura and I….."
"Discovered the falls one day, and decided that it would be our own little private place. We made it as we wanted, creating flowers that only exist here, and making the falls rainbow coloured. We also created a couple of creatures that father and mother didn't know about and…oops…" Sakura broke off as she looked at Tomoyo and Eriol, a guilty look on her face.
Yuri laughed. "Don't worry Cherry! They can't punish us now, like they used to when we would dye Yue's hair blue." Yuri giggled at the look on Yue's face. "I see he still remembers."
Sakura began to giggle too. "Careful Lily, you're going to get me in trouble with my guardian."
"We'll just get Nerina and Ruby Moon to stop him from getting angry like we used to." Yuri cried as both she and Sakura fell to the ground, laughing helplessly.
Syaoran stared at Sakura, a look of puzzlement on his face. "Ah, Sakura?" He asked hesitantly.
Yuri, calming down, took one look at Syaoran's face and burst into a fit of laughter.
Sakura looked at Yuri to see what had started her laughing again, and when she saw Syaoran's face, she too burst out laughing.
"He *hiccup* could never *hiccup* understand why you and I *hiccup* went into these gales of *hiccup* laughter." Yuri said to Sakura.
"I know. Even after we got engaged." Sakura said, smiling at Syaoran.
Syaoran stared at Sakura as a look of understanding came to his face.
"I think he remembers." Sakura whispered to Yuri.
"Let's hope he doesn't remember the last trick we played on him. He did promise to get us back, remember." Yuri whispered back.
Syaoran's look of understanding went as he remembered something. His face hardened, then he smirked. "I believe I owe two flowers a proper watering."
Yuri looked at Sakura. "I think he remembers."
"So do I."
"Syaoran, it wasn't my idea. Sakura talked me into it. You know how she can be." Yuri cried, laughing slightly at the look on Sakura's face.
"I didn't do it by myself. We both thought of it. It was you though, who started it." Sakura argued.
Syaoran looked at them and slowly transformed his pendant into his sword. He did it slowly so Sakura and Yuri wouldn't feel the change in his aura. He then pulled out a ofuda. He held it to his sword.
"God of water, come to my aid." He said softly. He aimed his sword to the sky slightly, so the water wouldn't hit the two girls full on.
In the middle of Yuri's and Sakura's argument, a blast of water hit them both, drenching them. They both screamed, and turned to look at Syaoran.
Syaoran placed his sword behind him and tried to look innocent.
"Nice try Syaoran, but we know it was you." Yuri said, raising her hand to her neck. "Shall we?" She asked Sakura, motioning to her neck.
Sakura smiled impishly and raised her hand to her neck.
Together, they began to chant:
"Oh Key of my star
With powers burning bright
Surrender the wand, the force ignite!
Release!"
Twin winds surrounded the two, and when the dust cleared, Sakura and Yuri were holding nearly identical staffs. Sakura's was as it always is. (A/N: pretty much everyone knows what her staff looks like, so I won't describe it.) Yuri's, though, was a darker pink, and her star was silver in colour, and the star was a ten-point star.
The two sisters grinned at each other before reaching into their clothes. Each pulled out a pink card, one light, one dark. They both had an intricate design on the back, with a star in the middle of it.
Sakura threw her card into the air.
"Rain Card!
Rain on Syaoran!"
(A/N: I know, I know, it's childish. But still. I couldn't really think of anything else to do to him, short of burying him in sand or snow.)
Sakura pointed her staff at the card, and out appeared a small child-like creature, sitting atop a fluffy cloud.
She giggled at the look on Syaoran's face, and proceeded to rain on him.
Syaoran swore and tried to run away, but the Rain spirit followed him relentlessly, soaking him.
Sakura was about to call the Rain card back, but, by some unheard request, the Rain spirit turned to Eriol and soaked him too.
Sakura called the card back and stared at it intently. "Why did Rain do that to Eriol?"
"Because I asked it to." Yuri said, smiling at Sakura. "I still haven't finished explaining, so after this, I will."
Yuri threw her card into the air.
"Change Card!"
Eriol and Syaoran looked at each other apprehensively.
"Change Eriol and Syaoran with each other!"
Yuri pointed her staff at the card. The card glowed and out appeared a lizard-like creature. It then hit both the boys, (A/N: I know that's not how Change works, but still.) and a bright light surrounded them. When it receded, the two boys were looking at themselves. They then looked at each other. They screamed.
"What's with this?" Asked Eriol, who was really Syaoran.
"What do you mean?" Yuri asked innocently.
"Don't give me that. Not only am I in his body, but I know his thoughts, his feelings! The Change Card doesn't do that! When I traded places with the Stuffed Animal, I didn't have an insatiable urge for food!" Eriol/Syaoran cried.
"Oh, didn't you realise? Sakura's cards and mine are very similar, but as no two people are exactly alike, they do have their differences. My Change card changes the spirit of two beings into different bodies. Now, that may seem like what Sakura's does, there's a slight difference. My Change leaves some of the previous spirit's personality, emotions, and how they see things. Sakura's is more like putting on a suit. You only wear it for a bit. Mine, you actually become it for a while. Of course, you retain you're own feelings and the like, so Eriol won't actually feel an urge to kiss Sakura or anything like that. His heart still belongs to Tomoyo." Yuri said, much to the relief of Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Ok. Now finish explaining. Why did Sakura's Rain card listen to you?" Meiling asked.
"Simple. It remembers me. All the cards remember us. That's why Sakura never got seriously hurt when capturing a card. Because they recognised her as Clow Reed's daughter. I simply asked if the Rain Card would do this for me, and it agreed. The Cards aren't only magic, they're also living creatures."
"So who was that guy?" Naoko asked.
Yuri began to frown. "He is nothing to worry about at the moment." Yuri said, her tone saying that that was the end of the discussion.
Sakura suddenly looked at Yuri, a mischievous smile playing around her lips. "So, where is he?"
"Who? That guy in the cloak?" Naoko asked Sakura.
Sakura shook her head. "He's not who I'm talking about. That guy has an evil feeling about him. I'm talking about someone else." Sakura sent Yuri a sly look.
Yuri blushed. "I don't know what you're talking about Sakura." Yuri said.
"Sure you don't. That's why you're blushing." When Sakura said blushing, she gasped, remembering something.
****FLASHBACK****
They were running.
They were running through a dark forest.
Every now and then, a ray of light made it through the dense leaves of the canopy above.
They had to get away. If they didn't……………………………………….
Suddenly, two men jumped out from behind the trees in front of them.
The two sisters skidded to a halt.
They screamed and turned to run the other way, but were caught from behind by strong arms around their waist.
Sakura turned to see her sister struggling in the grasp of one of them.
She began to struggle too.
Her captor didn't like this, and lowered her to the ground.
Sakura froze, seeing his hands reach for her.
She was lifted into the air, and pulled towards the man who held her captive.
Looking up, she saw the man lower his head to hers.
They kissed.
After what seemed like an eternity to Sakura, the man lifted his head. Sakura turned to look at her twin and saw that she was receiving the same treatment.
When they didn't stop, Sakura and her captor began to laugh.
Yuri pulled away and blushed.
"You two were going on forever." Sakura cried to her blushing twin.
"Not like you can talk Sakura." Yuri shot back, still blushing.
"How did you find us Syaoran? You cheated, didn't you?" Sakura asked, turning back to her captor, her fiancé, Syaoran.
"Of course not. We didn't cheat, did we James?" Syaoran denied, looking at the man who held Yuri.
"No, we didn't." James replied, trying not to grin.
"Liar." Yuri said, recognising her fiancé's look. "You cheated. And that means you didn't win."
"Oh, but." James protested, as a ray of the sun broke through the canopy above to fall on him, highlighting his features. He had dark brown hair, a little neater than Syaoran's, and dark eyes, almost black. He was about the same hight and build of Syaoran, but Sakura thought her Syaoran was handsomer.
****END FLASHBACK****
"James…." Sakura whispered. She suddenly remembered when she had first seen this part of the palace. It was when she had been watching Yuri train. She broke one of the dummies, and out walked a young man, about their age, named Jamie.
"Jamie is James!" Sakura cried to the surprise of everyone else.
"What?" Touya asked, wondering what Sakura was talking about.
"So, I see you remembered." Yuri said, smiling. "When was it?"
"They were chasing us through the forest, on our estate, and they caught us about 500 metres in. They cheated though." Sakura said, smiling back. "You and James didn't look like you were going to stop anytime soon, either."
"Well neither did you." Yuri shot back, blushing, remembering.
Eriol/Syaoran began to blush too.
Syaoran/Eriol looked at his body, which was being occupied by Syaoran and smirked. "What is it, my cute little descendant?"
"None of your business." Eriol/Syaoran snapped.
"He doesn't remember either, does he? That's why you were so upset on Saturday. Because he didn't remember." Sakura said, figuring it out.
Yuri's head shot up. "So someone was watching me. I knew it!" Yuri said, looking at Sakura.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to spy, but I could see someone training out my window, and when I sent out my aura, nothing came back, so I wanted to find out who it was." Sakura said, blushing slightly.
"It's ok. I was hiding my aura from you all, and I kinda knew it was you anyway. I would of done the same thing." Yuri said.
"Miss Yuri!" A voice called. "Miss… I mean, Yuri! I found out how to make the dummies stronger!" A young man called as he raced towards Yuri, seemingly not noticing the others. He ran up to Yuri and swung her around. "I found out how to make them stronger." He cried happily, his almost black eyes sparkling with happiness. "Come see." He took Yuri's hand and began to pull her along.
"Jamie, I know where to go." Yuri half protested.
Suddenly a voice stopped them. "Who are you, twerp, and what are you doing with Yuri?"
