This is where we get to the bit where I have to say I own nothing in this story. The majority of this belongs to the lovely people who make CCS. So please don't sue me.

"Sakura! Sakura!" Tomoyo shouted running up Sakura's drive, waving her arms wildly in the air. Sakura put her head through a window sleepily.

"What?" Sakura said drowsily.

"I'm going to England! My mother's taking me to England!" Tomoyo said shouted up happily.

"Ohhh…" This statement didn't seem to please Sakura as much as it did Tomoyo.

"We're going all summer!"

"Oh." Sakura defiantly wasn't happy about this. She didn't want her best friend gone all summer long. She had other friends, but Tomoyo was different. "Hold on, I'll be down in a minute." Sakura walked down the stairs sleepily. How could Tomoyo do this to her? They were always together. Sakura realised how selfish she was being. 'Tomoyo deserves a break. All of us do sometimes. Capturing cards wouldn't be the same without her.' Sakura opened the door and Tomoyo walked in, beaming. They both went up to Sakura's room and sat on her bed.

"England, huh? Its really far away." Sakura said

"Yeah, I know. I wish it wasn't all summer really but I can still call you. "Tomoyo said, trying to convince herself as much as Sakura that they could talk all the time." Tomoyo pulled out something from her backpack and handed it to Sakura. "My mother gave this to me to give to you. I have one as well!"

Sakura ran her hands along the smooth silver plastic covering and opened it up. "What is it?" She asked, staring at a variety of buttons and a large screen.

"It's a video phone, see? We can still see each other! We won't be completely apart!" Tomoyo beamed.

"Oh wow! Thanks so much!" Sakura wrapped her arms round Tomoyo tightly, smiling. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. "You have to call every night, So I know how you are!"

"Of course I will!" Tomoyo's eyes sparkled. She knew she would miss Sakura. "Look, Sakura. I have to go pack now. Bye" Tomoyo said, staring down at the floor.

"Pack now? When are you leaving?" Sakura saddened.

"Tomorrow." Tomoyo and Sakura stood up. "Oh, by the way. Here's the key to our house. I made you some new outfits. You know where they are." Sakura and Tomoyo hugged.

"I'll miss you." Sakura said

"I'll miss you too." Tomoyo replied. She left.

Sakura sat on her bed again. A whole summer without Tomoyo was going to be lonely, even if she could still see her over a phone. Sakura sighed, got changed and went downstairs.

Venus span the large golden globe then placed her hands either side and shut her eyes. "Show me where the magic lies." Slim beams of light emitted from different parts of the globe. She lightly opened her eyes again and the globe stopped spinning. 'Magic is dying out.' She looked at all the areas the areas that the light beamed from. 'Africa is a possibility. Quite a few areas of magic there. Mostly tribal I guess. It might be to primitive.' She moved round the globe slowly. 'America. I've searched every where around there. No suitable candidates. Mostly self-taught magic. No real magic family's, except the Riley's, all female clan. That would have to be the ultimate last resort, maybe turn them male… Too much hassle, they . What about… no. Hmm… Japan. Looks like a lot of strong magic coming from that area. I wonder what comes from Japan.' Venus walked over to her large bookcase and put her hand out forward. She concentrated hard. Four old dusty books rattled and flew out the bookcase and landed in a pile at Venus' feet. She picked them up and placed them at the old table which she was sitting at she placed her hand over the first book and the pages flickered. 'Li Clan. I believe I've heard of them, of Clow linage. This must be a strong magical family. I must check this out.' With that Venus closed the book and left the room.
