'Where am I? It's so dark. Oh yeah, Suka probably brought me here. That baka! I wonder how Syaoran is doing. Syaoran…I'm so sorry,' Sakura thought. She tried to look around, but it was too dark.

"Ah, my beautiful queen. You have awakened. I told one of my servants to dress you up. Get up and look at yourself in the mirror. You look great," Suka said. Suddenly, lights turned on. It blinded Sakura for a few seconds. She looked around when her vision was good again, and she saw herself facing a mirror. They seemed to be in a room, and Suka was wearing a white shirt with black shorts. Sakura was wearing a dress, and Sakura had to admit it was beautiful. She wore a long dress that stopped at her ankles. It was yellow that blended into green, then blue, then yellow again. It had some pretty flowers on it. The dress was made from silk, so Sakura felt very comfortable.

"My queen, let me show you around," Suka said, offering a hand.

"OK, but I don't forgive you" Sakura said nervously. She took Suka's hand, and together they walked out of the room. Actually, the room was a house, except only with that room. The minute Sakura walked out, she started marveling at the beauty. "Where is this place?" Sakura asked.

"Welcome to my world. Together, we'll rule the whole world," Suka said.

"This place is so beautiful!" Sakura exclaimed. It was like paradise. There were mountains and hot springs, trees and flowers, and no bugs! Suddenly, people came out from the trees. They were *very* short. "W-w-what's this?"

"Don't worry my queen. You'll get used to them. They're my servants. They may look short, but they're very strong. They live inside the trees. The trees are not actually trees. You can walk right through them. The only real trees here is that one over there and that one over there," Suka said, pointing to the real trees. Sakura tried walking through the fake trees, and it worked! She went into the tree, which looked like a very small room, and walked out.

"Amazing! What do the flowers do?" Sakura asked amazed.

"The flowers are just real flowers, nothing special about them," Suka said.

"Is there a way to get back to the real world?" Sakura asked, hoping to catch Suka off guard so he would tell her.

"Yes there is. There's a special tree somewhere here. You have to stand inside the tree and say a chant. Then…ZOOM! And you're out of here," Suka told Sakura. "As for now, we need to make you my queen."

"No, I can't. Everyone's waiting for me. I can't! That's like betraying my friends and family. If I'm your queen, then I'll have to work with you to rule the world. I don't want to do that!" Sakura shouted.

"Calm down Sakura. Don't worry, they won't think you're betraying them. Come and be my queen."

"No!!!" Sakura screamed, trying to run away from Suka.

"Then I guess I'll have to do this the hard way…brainwash you," Suka sighed.

"No, I want my memory. I want to remember all my friends! I want to remember Syaoran! It was my fault that he was hurt. I don't want him to get hurt again!" Sakura screamed, holding her head in her hands.

"Servants! Please take my future queen to the brainwash lake," Suka commanded. Instantly, many servants surrounded Sakura and carried her to the brainwash lake.

"What are you going to do to me?!" Sakura asked.

"It's nothing, my queen. My servants will simply push you into the water. Then they'll drag you around and around the lake until a small whirlpool forms. They'll then push you into the whirlpool, and you'll be spinning and spinning and spinning. By then, your memory should almost be gone. Some of my servants will swim around the lake to make the whirlpool bigger, and others will sprinkle some brainwash powder into the center of the whirlpool so you'll lose your memory once and for all. You better not cause any trouble because this takes a lot of effort and a lot of days," Suka explained. He snapped his fingers, which was the cue to let his servants begin the brainwashing.

"That's a stupid way to brainwash!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs while struggling to get out of the servants' grasps. 'Forgive me Syaoran. I've let you down. I was too weak. Forgive me Kero, Tomoyo-chan, otou-san, onii-chan, Eriol-kun, and all my friends,' Sakura thought sadly.

"Meinan, do you know anything about the hole that Suka disappeared in?" Kero asked. Kero, Tomoyo, Eriol, Meinan, and Syaoran were having a meeting at the hospital.

"Well, there's this prophecy saying that when three is injured and one has the magic, the evil one summons his world and brings whom with the magic. Two will bring disaster to the whole world. Only those with Clow power can stop the two. Destroy the evil world, kill the evil one, and help the brainwashed. Six will go on the quest, five will return. Until then, the world will be in great danger," Meinan recited. Four puzzled faces stared at her. "Hey, don't look at me. I don't know what it means. My mom used to always tell me that and warn me." Four people fell anime-style.

"I think this prophecy is important to us. Can you repeat that again?" Kero asked.

"Meinan, maybe if you write it down, then we can all read it and think about it instead of you repeating the phrase over and over again," Syaoran suggested. Everyone agreed, so Meinan wrote the prophecy down on a piece of paper.

Kero was the first to make sense of the prophecy. "I think I got it! See the first sentence? That means when 3 people are injured…Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Meinan, and one has the magic…Sakura, the evil one…Suka, summons his world and brings Sakura with him. I think it's talking about us! The second sentence means that Sakura and Suka will bring disaster. The third sentence means that us, people who know Eastern magic, can stop Sakura and Suka. The rest is pretty straight forward," Kero explained.

"Now I get it!" the other three exclaimed.

"So that means only we can save them?" Syaoran asked.

"Right. After Sakura is the queen, the world is going to be in danger. We need to save her," Kero said.

"It says six will go on the quest. That would be me, Kero, Syaoran, Eriol-kun, and…" Meinan said.

"Do you think it's possible Tomoyo-chan will go?" Syaoran asked.

"Of course! She doesn't have magic, but she always comes with us," Eriol said.

"We still have one person. We need to find he/she quickly. Anyway, it says five will return. One of us will die in the world. I'm ready. Are you guys ready?" Kero asked enthusiastically.

"Do I look ready to you?!" Syaoran and Meinan shouted at Kero.

"OK OK, we'll do some researching to find out how to get in. You two can lay back and heal," Kero said as he flew into Tomoyo's bag.

"Ms. Daidouji and Mr. Hiiragizawa, your visiting time with Meinan and Syaoran is over. Please leave now. They need their rest," a nurse politely said.

"OK," Tomoyo and Eriol agreed as they exited to hospital.

'Hang in there Sakura. I'll protect you as soon as I'm healed. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you,' Syaoran thought.

"Hey you, come over here. Why is it taking so long to brainwash my future queen?" Suka demanded to a servant.

"The queen is very strong. It is hard to brainwash her. She still remembers three people named Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Mom," the servant replied weakly. She knew certainly that she'll get whipped. Amazingly, the master just smiled.

"Ha, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Mrs. Kinomoto, eh? Brainwash her. I don't care if it takes a month. I want her to forget everything! After that, bring her into the memory tree and make her think that she is my queen and we are destined to rule the world together! Now scram, you worthless piece of junk!" Suka shouted. 'She may be very strong, but my brainwash lake never fails,' Suka thought.

So, whatcha think? Anyway, PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks! Some ideas would be greatly appreciated!
