Disclaimer: Card Captor Sakura, and the song Fighter is not mine. YOU HEAR ME???? IT'S NOT MINE!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU SUE YOU WILL NOT GET A THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M BROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Sakura has changed since Tomoyo and Syaoran moved to Hong Kong. She is no longer a happy go lucky kind of girl. She's now cold and intense. S+S. Please R+R, Flames Welcome.

"Talking" ((My Notes or Sayings)) "YELLING" 'Thinking'

****** Time change

Gasping for breath, Sakura continued to ruthlessly punching the punching bag. It's been six years since Syaoran moved back to Hong Kong, and four years since Tomoyo's mother's job transferred to Hong Kong, taking her and Tomoyo to Hong Kong. Sakura hasn't seen her boyfriend and best friend since. They call each other often and occasionally wrote. Sakura has since never been the same. She was growing colder and colder. She rarely is found hanging with her friends, but training with a Marital Arts trainer or a Karate trainer.

After all you put me through You'd think I'd despise you

But in the end, I wanna thank you

'Cause you made me that much stronger

Sakura closed her eyes, and concentrated on the punching bag. She gave it one swift kick and it went flying off its hinges. She stepped back and bowed. She was wearing black pants with a blue karate belt, and a black sports bra kinda shirt. A blond man wearing a black karate uniform also with a blue belt, who was watching the whole thing, walked up behind Sakura. "Wow Sakura, you get stronger everyday."

Sakura turned rather sharply towards the man, they were standing rather close. "And you care why, Nick?" Her voice dripped with venom. She has never liked this man; Nick Mcdee is one of Japan's strongest men and in the world, and always tried to date a strong woman, Sakura for instance. The only thing Sakura could say about this man, that was a least a little nice, was that he was extremely hot. ((NOT AS HOT AS SYAORAN, NO ONE IS AS HOT AS HIM ^_^)) Nick has the bluest oceanic eyes that anyone could easily drown in, he's about 5'9, and his blond hair always had a messy look, not as messy as Syaoran's but messy.

Nick frowned, and then smiled. "Ouch that hurt." He gave Sakura a look that says you-can-not-turn-me-down. "To make it up to me, do you wanna go out on a date with me tonight?"

Standing at 5'7 she looked up at him and gave him an oh-please look. She rolled her eyes, "No," was the firm answer.

"WHY IN THE WORLD NOT???" Nick yelled outraged. He asks Sakura out for date's everyday. She always said no. He never gets a reason out of her.

Sakura looked up at Nick and smiled. "You wanna know why?" before he could answer, she kneed him straight in the gut. "I don't date weak men"

Wincing and holding his stomach Nick fell backwards onto the floor. "Bitch" he muttered under his breath, massaging his stomach.

"I heard that." Sakura said as she walked off towards the gyms change room. People who watched the whole exchange quickly got out of her way of the beautiful eighteen year old. Sakura's emerald eyes have grown rock hard and shows little to none emotion. She kept her hair at about shoulder length, with black streaks in it, but never had it down. Sakura always had her hair tied up in a ponytail. Sakura no longer likes pink, in fact she detests it. Her new favorite colors are black and dark blue. Her aura still is pink, but now with a blackish tinge. It's not exactly dark magic, it's just there. Kero and Yue said nothing is wrong with it. But then, why when they transform to there true form, they have a blackish tinge to them? And, why is Yukito, rude and cruel now?

Ten minutes later Sakura walked out of the gym dressed in black leather pants, black halter top, and a black leather jacket that goes down to her knees. Putting on her sunglasses Sakura walked to her slick black Ford Mustang Convertible ((my dream car)), a birthday present from Syaoran, and got in. She placed the key in the ignition and roared the car to life. Placing the car in reverse, Sakura backed up. Putting the car in drive, she drove off.

Well I, thought I knew you

Thinking, that you were true

I guess I, I couldn't trust

Called your bluff, time is up

**************************************************************************** ******************************

The next day at school, Sakura walked in the classroom, early, for school. She was wearing the usual school uniform; it disgusted her, because it was LIGHT blue. She revolts light blue. The uniform consisted of: a black skirt, a blue blazer jacket with the school emblem on it, a black tie, and a white button up T-shirt also with the school emblem on it. At least it had a LITTLE black. As Sakura sat down the bell rang. The rest of the class flowed into the room, followed closely by the teacher.

"Alright class, settle down." The teacher, Mr. J. Summer, said idly. "I'm putting you in pairs for this project," the class groaned loudly, "And the pairs are. . . Tarzan and Jane, Jack and Rose, Joe and Rika, Chris and Sakura . . ." Sakura groaned. It figured; she hated the guy, every other female in the class envied her, he's the hottest guy in the class and most popular, but a complete ass. Chris was an exchange student from Canada. He had black hair, and grey eyes. Chris was rather weak, and short. He stood at about 5'6. So Sakura was taller then him. The class started moving toward their partners and Chris walked up to her.

"Hiya, Sakura." He stated softly. His Canadian accent was clearly heard.

Sakura choose not to answer him, and they started working on their project. They started working on a report about the history of the sword. Sakura perked up. This interested her. They worked for about an hour, than he popped a question. "Will you go out with me?"

"No" Stated Sakura without looking up. Chris just smiled. As they were sitting side by side, he moved his hand and stated to feel Sakura up. "What the hell are you doing?" she asked bitterly.

He didn't answer but continued to feel her up. That did it. Something inside snapped; Sakura was fuming now. She got up a punched him straight in the eye. He fell out of the chair he was sitting on, and flew into the desk right beside it. The whole class went dead silent, it sounded like no one was breathing; you would be able to hear a pin drop if some chose to drop one. Mr. Summer came running over and slid to a halt beside Chris. He was lying there unconscious. "What the hell Sakura?!?! Why did you punch him like that?!?!?!" Mr. Summers yelled at Sakura.

"He was feeling me up that fucking bitch!!!!" Yelled Sakura, rage boiling up in her. She was massaging her knuckles. No wonder he was unconscious, that punch had hurt her hand like hell. Everyone was backing away from her in fear. No one has ever seen her like this.

'Cause I've had enough

You were, there by my side

Always, down for the ride

But your, joy ride just came down in flames

'Cause your greed sold me out in shame, mmhmm

Mr. Summers gaped openly at her. "Go to the office Miss Kinomoto." He stated steadily.

She glared at him, and looked like she was going to punch him into next Tuesday, but then silently turned and walked towards the door. People backed away in fear. She walked out of the door, and slammed it as she turned towards the office.

**************************************************************************** ******************

Walking home Sakura was fuming with anger. The principle was angry and sent a note home, and wanted to she Sakura's father the next day. As she walked into the house Fujitaka and Kero greeted the girl. "Ohayo, Sakura-san"

Sakura didn't answer, but handed him the note. He gave her a questioning look, and then read the note. He looked up at Sakura a said only one word. "Explain. . ."

**************************************************************************** ******************

Sakura was now sitting in her room doing her homework. She explained every thing to her father, and he was not happy. He didn't yell like Sakura thought he would, but that was good thing. He wasn't that mad, but was going to talk to the principle tomorrow. Sakura didn't like the thought of that. Kero, who was still downstairs, was still eating, so she was alone. Sakura was brought out of her thoughts when the phone rang. She got out of bed and walked to the phone.

"Moshi, Moshi?"

"Ohayo Sakura-chan!" replied a cheerful familiar voice.

"Tomoyo-chan? Is that you?"

"Hai, it's me! But it's also Syaoran-kun, and Meiling-chan!!! I'm over at their place!!! And you're on speaker phone!"

Sakura sweat dropped. "Hoe. . . Ohayo Meiling-chan, Ohayo Syaoran- kun"

"Ohayo," came a feminine voice. "Ohayo, Sakura-chan" came a masculine voice, that made Sakura's knees go weak. Tomoyo's voice then came through the phone, "So, Sakura-chan, what's new?"

Sakura hesitated . . . unsteadily she replied "you don't wanna know"

Everyone on the Hong Kong end was surprised. "What's wrong Sakura?" Syaoran asked. His chocolate brown hair was still as messy as ever. Meiling added into the conversation, "Did something happen?" Meiling still kept her raven hair in her childish buns on either side of her head.

"Yes something happened." She could hear all three take in breaths, they sounded nervous. "Here let me explain . . ."

After all of the stealing and cheating

You probably think that I hold resentment for you

But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong

'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do

I wouldn't know, just how capable

I am to pull through

So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it

**************************************************************************** ******************
After explaining what happened, they went silent. Tomoyo, Meiling, Syaoran don't know that Sakura has become a fighter, or that she takes special classes for fighting. They were all surprised that Sakura had punched a guy, and knocked him out. Syaoran was fuming, "That bastard was feeling you up? I'll kill him!!!"

Sakura laughed, much to her dismay, she hasn't laughed in months. "Syaoran you don't have too. I think he'll stay away from me." Everyone was surprised when she said this.

Tomoyo spoke up here. "Sakura you changed. You never used to ever want to hold a grudge against someone."

Sakura had no answer to this. She's changed and she knew it. She was about to change the subject when Kero came flying into the room. He was practically yelling. Everyone on the phone heard what he said. "SAKURA I FEEL DARK MAGIC!!!!! WE GOT TO GO!!!!!"

Sakura quickly spoke into the phone. "Look guys I got to go. . ."

"We understand" Meiling replied. Syaoran spoke up. "Sakura be careful." He stressed the word be, he was really nervous about her fighting dark magic alone, this would be the first time since he left, that there was dark magic in Tomoeda. Tomoyo then hurriedly said, "Sakura call us when you get back in, ok?"

"Thanks guys. I'll call you as soon as I get back." She replied quickly, and got off the phone. She turned to Kero as she grabbed her coat, "Ok, let's go."

**************************************************************************** ******************

Sakura ran to where Kero, and now her, felt a dark but a somewhat familiar aura which happened to be, where there is always magic, Penguin Park. Kero transformed and stood beside his mistress. Yue should be on her other side, but Yukito is out of town with Touya. They found a black cloaked figure facing away from them. It looked like the shadow card. Sakura called out her staff and stood ready for anything. "Who are you?" she asked calmly.

The hooded figure turned to face her. Sakura was not ready for that. The figure was a man; A guy that looked just like Syaoran. The only difference was their eyes. This man's was green. Emerald green to be exact, just like hers. Sakura's eyes grew wide. "Well, hello Card Mistress." Syaoran's look alike stated.

Sakura gave him a cold stare and steadily asked, "Who the hell are you, and why do you look like my boyfriend?" Sakura quickly got into a fighting stance. She was again wearing all black; black jeans, black runners, her black leather jacket that went to her knees, and a tight fitting black tank top, saying 'Don't Mess with Me' in sparkly dark blue dust.

The figure smiled. "I look like Li Syaoran because, we are cousins. My name is Li Jet. You better remember that name because it won't be the last time you hear it; that's if you survive."

Sakura's eyes grew wide, and she shivered. This guy gave her the creeps. Before she could say or do anything, this Jet guy blasted a power ball towards Kero and Sakura. Sakura put her arms in front of her face to shield her from the attack. She felt it coming towards her, and then heard a yell. She turned towards the sound; it was Kero. "Kero-chan!!!!" Sakura yelled frightened. He was blasted into a tree, and knocked out. He returned to his hidden form. She was about to run to him when Jet teleported behind her.

"Don't move" He whispered icily. He was so close to Sakura that it sent a chill down her spine. There was about 3 inches between them. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She brought her elbow up and then sent it back into Jet's stomach. She turned around and kicked him in the face in the process. He went flying back into a stone wall.

"Don't you dare tell me what to do you selfish bastard." Sakura was angry. VERY angry. She's never been this angry at someone before. There was rage boiling inside her as she walked towards Jet. "DO you wanna know what I'm gonna do to you?" She grabbed him but the cuff of his cloak and shoved him into the wall.
