I'm BACK. Finally. After so long I have returned from my much needed vacation. I am sorry for forgetting my disks but I am back now and I intend to write. Errors or not since I won't send these few to Max.

Anyway so you know I am now engaged. Yes I'm seventeen and I'm getting married. That's why I took a little longer to get back than I had planned. Cause I had to get my engagement ring and everything.

Well I am going to write now.

Thank you for your patience.

*** "It's a full moon." A blue haired boy mumbled as he leaned over the railings of the bridge. A dark haired girl stood next to him with a quizzical look on her face.

"What's wrong with a full moon?" She asked looking up at the moon as it reflected in the water.

"Nothing love. Just a feeling." He answered holding her hand tightly. As if to find comfort.

"Eriol. You know you can tell me anything. It can help to talk about it." Tomoyo said softly.

"I don't want to worry you."

"You won't. Come on talk."

"In the past a full moon was a symbol of strength and growth. For both good and evil. Everything that has happened has occurred on a full moon. I don't know if it's an omen or just coincidence."

Tomoyo stayed quiet for a few minutes. She then took a deep breath and looked into the water.

"Eriol do you think they're just after the star cards?"

"No. I think there is more to this than we're being shown and I just hope things work out."

"Me too. It's been a week since we've been back in Japan and Sakura looks so depressed. Even with the bond she has with Syaoran it's still hard for her."

"I know. It will be alright though." Eriol said with a small smile. His mood had lightened up a little.

"Eriol. What do you know?" Tomoyo asked suspiciously.

"Nothing dearest." He said innocently.

"I don't believe that."

"It's a secret. I was sworn not to tell.' He said lifting his hand

"Mou. Eriol dozo. Tell me. I promise I won't say a word." She said battering her eyelashes.

"No. I promised. I do not go back on my promises."

"Please." Tomoyo was getting anxious. Eriol knew something. He knew something big and he wasn't telling her. His own girlfriend.

"No love. A promise is a promise. I won't go back on it. Besides it would ruin it for everyone."

"Mou, You're evil." She whined. He chuckled and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Is that better my sweet?"

"No." She pouted.

He gave her a more passionate kiss on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her and bought her closer to him.

"How about that?" He aside with his usual glint in his eyes.

"A little."

He smiled and made the kiss more passionate pressing his body against hers.

"How's that?"

"Much better." She purred as he ran his fingers through her hair.

"Good."

*** A winged figure sat in the tree in front of the Kinomoto residence. Her aura hidden from even the sorceress who had just fallen asleep.

Such purity coming from the room made Nisha warm but also sick inside

"So little card mistress. That innocence of yours will get you into trouble. You still don't know what true pain is. You are far from your warrior but you haven't lost him."

Sakura tossed a little in her sleep and Nisha watched intently at the card captors movements.

She'd been doing this ever since the cheerleader had come home. She'd sit in the tree and watch as the girl slept. How one minute she'd be having a nightmare and the next she'd be sleeping peacefully with a smile on her face.

That was probably the work of the bond she had with Syaoran.

She would tell everyone she was just observing the card mistress. Making sure no one else decided to go after her but she had other things in mind.

Elsu was pleased that she was taking her job more seriously but he didn't have a clue about what she was planning. This went far beyond power anymore.

"Time to find out if you're truly worthy to be called the card mistress Sakura." She whispered bringing out nine of the forbidden cards.

The cards shone brightly in her hand and she had to focus a lot of energy to hide their essence from anyone with magical powers. Especially the people in the house she was watching.

"So which one of you will it be?" She asked the cards as she began to shuffle them about. She wasn't going to plan anything. This was going to be chosen by fate.

She moved her hands gracefully over the cards making them float in front of her. She moved four to the left and four to the right. They were all facing down.

The card left in the middle shone brightly and Nisha picked the other eight up and put them away.

"So lets see who'll be first." She whispered as she flipped over the cards. She raised an eyebrow and traced her fingernails over the card. Examining its features and feeling the magic that vibrated from it.

The card was of a woman. She wore a short green dress with an expensive looking necklace on her neck. Behind her was an image of another girl wearing the exact same thing only in a light blue.

At the feet of the green dressed girl was a vicious looking dog who growled at the blue dressed girl and tried to take her necklace away. Behind the scene was a pool filled with water that looked freezing cold.

(For those who don't know. Green is associated with envy. A dog is also associated with it. Apparently the punishment in hell is to be tossed in freezing cold water. There is a site that has the seven deadly sins.)

"Interesting selection." Nisha said looking closely at the card. "Envy it is then."

She stood up on the branch of the tree and called forth her staff. It was now impossible to hide her presence since the magic of the card could be felt but it was not likely that anyone would see her in time to stop the inevitable.

She called upon her magic circle and let the card go loose. It now had no master and was free to do its biddings.

"Good luck Sakura Kinomoto. You'll need all the luck you can get to pass this test." She whispered as the card floated around looking for a victim.

Nisha called back her staff and vanished back into the night before she was discovered by either side.

Kero woke up after feeling the intense magical power. He'd felt it before. Now it felt even stronger.

"What's going on out there?" He whispered as not to wake Sakura up. There was no one outside. There were no noises coming from the ground or the tree.

"Must be my imagination." He mumbled and went back to sleep.

As he closed his drawer a dark green glow formed around Sakura as she turned over happily. Her dreams where pleasant and she didn't even flinch when a necklace snapped itself into place around her neck and then became invisible.

She turned over again and the dragon statue that sat on her table started to glow the same green that had engulfed her. It surrounded the gem stone that lay inside the shrine and the dragons eyes turned a blood angry red.

The green glow sank into the statue and then disappeared as quickly as it came. The dragon's eyes went back to normal and everything seemed like it was before.

Sakura sighed and whispered in her sleep.

"I want to have that too."

*** The loud sound of an alarm clock woke a dazed Kero out of his sweet dreams of pudding. He groggily got up and looked at the clock.

He sighed. Sakura had school for the rest of the month and then she was off on summer vacation. It was her last year of high school so it was important for her to get up on time.

"Sakura. Time to get up. Come on stop dreaming with Li." He said as he tried to get her awake.

"Five minutes." She mumbled and turned over. He sighed and decided to make things easy for himself.

He transformed into Keroberus and lifted the covers off his mistress. She protested as he carried her into the bathroom and with great difficulty he managed to get the sink faucet going and placed his paw under the cold water.

'I hate to do this Sakura but it's the only way.' He thought as he splashed her with his paw. She shrieked and he raced out of the bathroom and down the stairs before she could say anything.

"KERO!" Came a yell from the bathroom. He winced. He was going to get it when she got out of there.

"At least you're awake." He called back and transformed back into his teddy bear form.

Sakura sighed and got undressed. The water started to run and she got in. She sighed as the warm water hit her skin.

It wasn't fair. Why did she always have to get up? Kero got to do what he wanted. He could sleep in all day and play video games. Eat as much pudding and sweet foods as he wanted and never worry about getting sick.

"It's not fair. I want to be able to do that. I want to be able to sleep all day and be with Xiao Lang but no. I have to go to school. I envy those people who don't go to school."

She suddenly stopped herself. She'd never been envious of anyone before. Why had she thought that? She didn't like playing all those video games. She didn't like eating sweet food all the time.

'It doesn't matter. What matter's is that KERO gets to do all that whenever he likes and you don't. You never get to chill out like that. Don't you want to?' A voice in her mind said soothingly.

She nodded even though there was no one there. The voice was right. She never got to do all the things she wanted. Everyone was always so happy and she was always so miserable and had to hide it.

A small part of her felt Syaoran's own envy. The envy towards everyone who got to be with her. The jealousy he felt towards everyone who could do as they wanted. Could run out and just be normal. Those people who had two parents and took it for granted.

She suddenly felt that same envy. She didn't have her mother. All her friends had theirs and they always took them for granted. Syaoran didn't have his father. It was the same thing. Why couldn't they have something so simple?

'Cause they don't want you to. Don't you see? They want to deny you things that you need so you become weaker. Easier to manipulate.' The voice said.

Yeah. They did always seem to get her to do things their way. They hardly ever let her do her own things.

'That's right. They don't care about you. They're just after your power. So what if you get a little jealous. Look at everything they have. Look at everything they get to do. Get to feel. What do you get? A whole lot of pain and misery.'

She finished her shower and got ready for school. The voices in her head kept telling her that it was ok for her to want things. It was normal to feel what she was feeling and her deepest insecurities were being fed off.

The thoughts kept racing through her head as she walked down the stairs. Her father greeted her and she just graced him with a small smile. He didn't ask what was wrong. He didn't need to in his mind. She was thinking of Li and that's what had her so depressed.

If he only knew the real reason behind today's depression. It was beyond missing her love. It was more than just depression. She was starting to believe she wasn't worthy of anything because she didn't have the tings other people had.

"Morning kaijuu." Touya said walking into the room. She didn't even flinch. She was too deep in her thoughts.

"Wouldn't try. She's been like this all morning. It's pointless." Kero said floating in front of the table. Touya sighed and muttered something about the gaki and left the room again.

'See they don't care. If they really cared wouldn't they ask you if you were alright? Wouldn't they try to help you? Don't you want a family that will care about you? A brother that doesn't insult the man you love?'

'Yes. But they love me. Don't they?' Sakura thought. She felt a green aura reach out for her. It felt the exact same way as her. Confused and angry.

'They don't. Look can't you feel him calling you? Everyone is happy that you're away from him except you and him. Don't you think it's injustice to keep the both of you apart?'

Sakura felt hurt. It was true. No one let her be with him. No one let her even call him. Maybe they really didn't care about her. They were just using her and she was jealous of all of them now.

"Sakura you'll be late." Her father said softly. It snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Oh yeah right." She said nervously and raced to put on her roller blades. "Sayonara."

She raced out the door and looked around. So many people. All of them happy with their lives. All oblivious to the dangers the world had to offer. She envied that innocence in them. She envied the ignorance to the truth.

She kept looking at the little town. Everything seemed so different to her now. She didn't need it anymore but she wanted it. She wanted to feel special again. Wanted to feel needed and right now she didn't' feel any of that. She just felt. Empty.

'I feel cold.' She whispered in her mind as a strong chill went up her spine. It was a hot day but she felt nothing but cold.

*** "Little brother what's wrong?" Xie Fa asked as her brother paced around. He didn't answer. He just kept his death glare and his scowl.

He'd been this way for three whole days now. He hadn't even said a single nice thing to anyone and he'd look at everyone in disgust.

His aura was constantly reaching out for Sakura's. He wasn't hiding that fact to anyone. It was almost as if he was challenging anyone who robbed him of that right.

No one would of course No one had a problem with it but he seemed to think otherwise. He'd look at the elders with envy. As if he was jealous of the power they had. Of the decisions they could make about his life.

Whatever it was that was driving him was definitely costing a bit of money. He'd asked for a lot of things. No one told him no because he was future leader but he would look at something on TV or read something in a magazine and ask to have it.

When his sisters had asked him about it he'd just said it wasn't fair that everyone got to have things and he didn't. They had blamed his behavior on the fact that he missed Sakura but now it was just getting out of hand.

"Xiao Lang would you please stop." Meilin said when he stopped pacing and looked at the TV. "Come on you're acting stupid. Why don't you just sit down?"

'Why don't you just leave me alone? No one asked you to help me and I don't need anyone. Not you, not my sisters, not my mother or any elder to tell me what I should be doing. You don't care anyway." He growled and left the room.

That startled everyone. He stormed up the stairs and into his room. He was angry and frustrated. Why did they care? They had everything they wanted. He didn't and it was driving him slowly insane.

She felt the same way. He'd felt it. Heard it in the back of his mind. Her thoughts. Her fears and as sick as it sounded to him. He was glad she felt the same way as he did. He'd hate for her to be all genki when he was so miserable and angry.

He'd hate to feel the way he felt towards everyone else. This jealousy he had always felt but it was never this intense. It never got him this worked up.

He didn't want to hate her for what she had. So he was glad that she felt the exact same way as him. He doubted he could handle hating her but it was so unfair on her.

'What's wrong with me?' He asked himself leaning against his closed door. All his hidden insecurities were being pushed to the front of his conscious mind and all his jealousy was being revealed to the world.

'You just want her. You're just jealous that all those people get to be with her. It's ok though. No one will hold it against you.' Those damn voices again. The one that sounded so right.

He did want her though. He hated being so far from her and even with the bond it wasn't close enough. He'd reach for her and she'd do the same and something would interrupt.

For a brief moment he'd been able to speak with her telepathically. It had been very brief because Tomoyo and Eriol had interrupted her and they'd lost the long distance connection.

She'd been at the mall buying clothes. He'd actually encouraged her to buy them because he said she'd look beautiful in anything and he wanted to see her in something new.

She'd gladly complied to his wishes and he'd even sent money into her bank account so she could spend more. Something he'd never done before. Why did he care if she had more things or not?

'You want her to have luxury. Just accept it. Be jealous of everything you can't have. You deserve it.'

He felt cold. He didn't know why though. A sudden chill went up his spine as he embraced his feelings. It wasn't right and he knew it.

His hands felt like ice and the more he thought about it the colder it got. It felt as if someone was pushing him into a freezing cold river.

At first it was just small chills. Now most of his body felt cold. He was freezing and it didn't matter how many layers of clothes he put on he'd just feel worse.

He felt suddenly tired. He laid down on his bed and fell fast asleep. The green energy that had engulfed Sakura three nights ago was coming over him and it became stronger.

"Sakura." He murmured in his sleep.

*** "Nisha what did you do?" Bahul asked with amusement when he saw his mistress watching the events.

"Nothing." She said innocently. She was good at that.

"Hmm. I don't exactly believe that. I've known you for too long." She gave him a small smirk and motioned with her hand for him to follow her.

He was very curious now. After the talk with Elsu she'd been avoiding him and it had driven him close to insanity. She'd leave each day to watch over the card mistress or that's what she told everyone.

They entered her private chambers and she took out the book where she kept the forbidden cards.

'You didn't." He said with an evil chuckle.

"Oh yes I did." She said proudly. "I don't think it will take them too long to figure it out but believe me it's caused some damage."

"How much damage?" He sat on the edge of the bed looking over the card. All the cards were there except for envy.

"Their jealousy is driving them both insane. It's only been three days and their already consumed by it. Consumed with need to have things they don't need but since everyone else has these things they don't care."

"I don't see how envy can hurt them." He said. Nisha gave him a small smile and started to explain.

"Envy is just the start of it. They're growing insecure. They think things will make them secure and you do remember the punishments of hell for envy don't you?"

"To commit the sin of envy will bring you the punishment of being thrown in the freezing waters." He said. He'd forgotten most of his studies.

"Exactly. They're freezing. Physically, emotionally and spiritually. They don't feel envy towards each other because the card recognizes them as one person but to the rest of the world they only feel jealousy. Each time they think or act out their jealousy they become colder. It will slowly kill them if they don't figure it out."

"Do you want them to die?"

"No but it puts leaks into the master's plans. I don't care what he says. That girl isn't ready for him. Never will be." She said quietly. Elsu would kill her if he knew what was going on but since she hadn't made her intentions known till now there was no way he could pinpoint the culprit unless Bahul opened his mouth. She doubted that very much.

"Why is it working so fast?" He asked curiously lying back on the bed. He was now showing affection to her as she ran her fingers through his black hair.

"It's very easy to become jealous. Remember what happened to Anuradha. She became so blinded by it that it bought her to this. Envy works fast because everyone has that feeling hidden deep within them." She explained.

"So how long do you give them?" He asked with a yawn.

"Days."

*** "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Sakura yelled as her friends tried to approach her. She'd become so paranoid in the last two weeks that she was being hostile to everyone.

"Sakura what's wrong?" Kero asked trying to get near but she just moved back holding the cards and her staff close to her afraid that they would take them away from her.

"Don't get any closer." She warned. Her aura was flaring and no one knew what to do. Not even Eriol knew.

"Sakura come on. We want to help." Tomoyo said trying to sooth her friend.

"You don't care. You don't want me to be ok. You just want to take the cards away from me. Just like you took me away from Xiao Lang. Just like you took my mother away." She sobbed. Her body was shaking from the cold she felt.

"Sakura we're not trying to hurt you. We didn't take you away from anyone. Your not gong to get hurt." Her best friend tried to convince her but she wouldn't hear it. She was being driven by envy and Xiao Lang was feeling the same so the bond was flaring.

"No. You lie. Why do you even pretend to care? You don't need me. I envy the fact that you can pretend. I hate the fact that you have everything and I have nothing. Now you want to take my friends away so that I'm left stranded and alone." She accused.

"Sakura we wouldn't do that." Yue said. "Mistress please calm down."

"NO. GO AWAY." She screamed and started to run. Yue and Kero ran after her. The others following close behind. She was screaming and crying and her body was becoming colder by the minute.

She was using dash to get away from them and it was becoming difficult for them to follow her. Only Yue, Kero, Suppi and Nakuru could keep up. They followed her to the park and watched as her magic flared furiously in a mixture of pink and green.

"SAKURA." Kero yelled when she started to glow green. This green wasn't Syaoran's aura though. It was different. It was foreign and dark.

"GET AWAY. I HATE ALL OF YOU. I HATE YOU FOR LETTING HIM LEAVE. I HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL JUST PRETENDING TO BE MY FRIENDS. I HATE THAT YOU WON'T LET ME HAVE A NORMAL LIFE LIKE ANY OTHER GIRL." Her screams were louder and the night air seemed to crackle with energy.

"Eriol do you feel that?" Kero said when he felt the green aura burn from her.

"Yes. It feels so much like a clow card." He whispered. It was impossible. Sakura had sealed all the clow cards.

"It can't be though. They're all sealed." Yue said. His mistress was crying and was going into a compete breakdown. Her body was trembling violently and her cries of pain were enough to make the demons mourn.

"I know but she's being possessed by something. It has to be a clow card. I don't know how but it is." Eriol said calling forth his staff. He tried to find the card himself but it was impossible. The card would only respond to Sakura and Syaoran. How he knew that he himself couldn't understand.

"Where's the kid when you need him." Kero called into the night. Sakura's cries became deafening and she went down on her knees trembling and sobbing. Syaoran's energy had changed around her. It wasn't so angry now. It was panicked. The coldness they all felt was not as strong but it was still hurting Sakura.

"ERIOL!" Tomoyo came running towards them with her phone in her hand. "Meilin said that something's terribly wrong. Li-kun is,,, he's tearing the place apart."

Eriol grabbed the phone and spoke to Meilin. "What's wrong with him?"

"He's tearing everything apart calling out for Sakura. He kept trembling as if he was cold. He wont let anyone near him."

"What else is he doing?" He asked urgently. Sakura was crying so loud that Meilin could hear it over the phone.

"He keeps saying that no one cares." She said fearfully.

Eriol stayed quiet for a moment. He didn't know what this was. Sakura's screams became louder. Syaoran could be heard over the phone screaming in pain as well.

"ERIOL!!!!" Tomoyo screamed. Eriol turned to see as Sakura started to freeze into an ice statue.

"NO. XIAO LANG." Meilin's voice could be heard . His body had become a statue of ice just as Sakura's body had.

A loud laughter could be heard as the card showed it's true form. Lifting out of Sakura's body. The beautiful green dressed girl floated in the air lifting Sakura's frozen form from the ground and opening a portal into what looked like a land of ice.

"SAKURA!" Kero called as he and Yue flew to rescue their mistress but it was too late. The portal had closed and the only thing left was a small piece of ice that was from Sakura's hair.

"Where is she?" Tomoyo cried. Her gaze focused on Eriol. The onl one who might have some sort of clue.

"I don't know love. All I know is that we don't have much time. Wherever that woman is taking Sakura she'll surely go after my decendent."

"Meilin." Tomoyo said grabbing the phone off her boyfriend. All she could hear was the beeping sound.

They where lost. No card mistress and soon no Li. With no clue of where to look and no idea who was behind this they felt lost.

*** Ok that's it for now. I'll probably have twenty two by later tonight. Yes it's a two part. I can't help it. I like my cliff hangers.

Anyway I have to call my fiancée. I'll talk to you all later.

And I still need someone to draw those animations for me. Please tell me if your interested.

Later.

Kang
