Wow! I'm happy you're still reading my story. Please continue. I don't have 'spell check' on my Word Processor so if I have any misspelled words you know why. I don't own Digimon or Card Captor Sakura.

Digital Cards

Let's Study History

*~*~*~*~*

Today was the day after Sakura's birthday. She was happy that it was over, since it just brought back memories. Getting out the ingredients for dinner, she suddenly heard someone knock on the door.
Sakura was home alone so she immediately put down her things and went to answer the door.
Outside was a boy with short brown-red hair, another boy with large brown hair, and a younger girl with brown hair to her shoulders. The girl seemed in shock, just at the sight of Sakura.
"Yes? May I help you? Sakura asked politely
"So it is you..." The older boy mumbled
"My name is Kinomoto Sakura. Am I supposed to know you?"
"I'm sorry, my name is Yagami Hikari, this is my brother Yagami Taichi, and our good friend Izumi Koushiro." The girl said pointing to the older boys. "We have come for your help."
"Help to do what?" Sakura asked confused
"It's a long story, may we come in?"
Sakura nodded hesitantly and moved aside letting the trio enter her house. She led them to the living room and let them sit down.
"Well, it started about a year ago when I began having a strange dream about a woman with a bluish-grey dress and long grey hair."
At these words Sakura's eyes immediately shot open and she dropped onto the opposite chair.
"The same dream accured until yesterday it was different. The woman began speaking the name "Mistress Sakura" and a book appeared. A flash of light occurred and another book appeared in my hands. Inside it told us to find you."
Sakura's eyes began to fill up with tears and she wiped them with her hand.
"Are you okay?" Hikari asked concerned
"The...the Dream Card and...*sniff*...the Create Card." Sakura cried,
"Then you do know what I'm talking about." Hikari smiled.
"Tell her about yesterday." Taichi urged,
"Well the three of us, as well as nine others, are in a group called the digidestined. We each have a digital monster in a different world called the "Digital World". We can enter that world through a computer."
At these words Sakura's hands shot to her side and she jumped out of her seat.
Hikari was startled, but she continued.
"Yesterday, we went to the digital world to visit our digimon. While we were there we were attacked. One by one these woman attacked us until the number of twelve digimon was reduced to zero. After they defeated each of them, both the woman and the digimon transformed into a card and disappeared. In the end it turns out that our old enemy 'Piedmon' is controlling them."
"We were informed by one of the cards that you could help us." Koushiro finally spoke.
Remembering something, Hikari reached into her pocket and pulled out a neatly folded green ribbon.
Sakura looked over at the ribbon and paled.
"No...no. It can't be."
Hikari handed over the ribbon and Sakura accepted it. Hugging it to her body.
"Please, anything but this...anything" Sakura mumbled
"What is it?"
"The Mirror Card"
"Yes, that is the name of the card that helped us." Koushiro replied,
"Were they all being controlled? All fifty three?"
"So there was fifty-three... Yes it did look to be around that amount. They were all standing in a large field, but two were in his hand."
"One was probably the Mirror Card. That poor girl..." Hikari sighed
Sakura paled. "What happened to her?"
Hikari's hand shot up to her mouth as she realised her mistake, then looked down at her feet. "She was beat up pretty bad by Piedmon after she helped us."
"Please tell me. Were any of the other cards hurt?"
"Hmm..." Koushiro said "The Fight card took a beating from Exveemon... but the rest weren't even touched. Well, except for the Wood card, but she only got a few scratches from Gatomon's claws."
"But that was in defence." Taichi spoke in their defence.
"I see..." Sakura whispered. "I'm so sorry. If only they didn't disappear."
"Tell us what happened." Hikari said calmly.
"When I was ten I found a book in my father's basement. When I opened the book I released all of the cards, called "Clow Cards", that were inside. Then, Keroberos the guardian beast of the seal appeared and told me I had to capture them all. After I captured the last card, Yue the guardian of the moon arrived and I had to take a test. Passing the test, I had to change all of the cards into "Sakura Cards" making them my own. On my birthday, April 1st, one year ago, I got a computer. But when I set it up a white flash occurred and sucked up the cards out of the book and Kero, who was sitting on the floor. I never saw any of them again. Not even Yue... Please, did you see a blue angel or a yellow stuffed animal in the group?"
"I don't remember seeing them..." Hikari tried to remember.
"There was that blue girl who attacked Stingmon." said Taichi
"No, that was the Watery Card." Koushiro said,
"I don't think there was."
"I understand. May I please be excused for a second?" Sakura asked politly.
Sakura ran upstairs and came back with a pink book and a pink cell phone. She sat back down on the chair and dialled the number into the phone.
"Hello, may I please speak to Tomoyo?"
...
"Yes, I can hold"
"Who are you phoning?" Taichi asked,
"Tomoyo is my best friend and one of the few people who know about me being a sorceress." Sakura replied. Then put her attention back on the phone.
"Tomoyo, it's Sakura! Listen, you have to come over right away! It has something to do with the Sakura Cards!"
...
"No I haven't found them yet, but there are some people here who have an idea where they are!"
...
"Ok, but hurry!"
After Sakura said bye she hung up the phone and put it on the table.
"Can your friend control the Sakura Cards?" Koushiro asked, wanting to obtain as much information as he could.
"No, I am the only one who can use the Sakura Cards. But if they were still Clow Cards then..."Sakura drifted off
"Then what?" Taichi asked
"Oh nothing"

*~*~*~*~*
After Tomoyo arrived all four of the children explained what had happened. Of course, she made them explain it on video...
After that, Sakura was surprised to see that Tomoyo had brought a few videotapes of when Sakura caught the cards.
She asked permission from the visitors to play them, and then popped them into the VCR.
Sakura waited nervously as the digidestined watched films of her capturing the Shadow card and transforming the Watery Card.
The three digidestined looked sad as they watched the Watery Card sprinkle water over the pool. They knew she was kind but still thought of her as the enemy after nearly drowning Stingmon.
"So what are we going to do?" Tomoyo asked still with the video camera glued to her eye.
"I...I guess I'm going to have to phone Syaoran-kun" Sakura sighed and reached for the phone. She could still remember the last time she had phoned the Li residence.

*~*~*
Flashback
*~*~*

Sakura's hand shook as she pressed the numbers. It had been 60 minutes since Kero and the cards disappeared into the computer, but it seemed like seconds. As soon as it happened she ran to Yukito's house and knocked on the door. Expecting Yue to already be in his true form, Sakura was surprised to see Yukito answer the door. She told Yukito that her cards had disappeared and asked why Yue hadn't transformed but he didn't know. Now she was phoning Li Syoaran to ask for his help and was more nervous then ever. Even after they confessed their love for each other she still hadn't talked to him for months.

"*BRI...*" before the phone even ring once, someone answered it from the other end.
"Kinomoto-san, I have been awaiting your call. Tell me is something wrong with the Sakura Cards? I no longer feel their presence." calmly asked a female voice from the other line.
"Li-san I...! I'm sorry, but they seem to have disappeared" Sukura cried trying to stay calm.
"I see..."
"What should I do?"
"I cannot find their location with my magic, so I do not know what to tell you except, good luck and that I know you will succeed."
After, she hung up and that has the end.

*~*~*
Flashback ends
*~*~*

Now she was phoning the Li residence and was even more nervous than before.
"Who is Li?" Koushiro asked
"He was also a Cardcaptor. When I had to capture the Clow Cards, Li and I competed for them. Then when I had to transform them into Sakura Cards, he stayed with me and helped. Right now he is in Hong Kong where he lives.
Sakura was about to dial the last digit when all of a sudden there was a knock at the door.
The mistress of the cards sighed in relief at the thought of postponing the call and went to answer the door.
She swung the door open and dropped the pink digital phone as she saw the familiar face of her one true love.
"You...you're back!" Sakura gasped not even noticing Tomoyo behind her.
Syaoran looked nervously around not quite sure what to say. "We sensed that you were in danger so...we hopped in a plane..."
Sakura's eyes filled with tears and she carefully wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I thought you forgot about me." Sakura struggled
"Oh Sakura, I would never forget about you." Syaoran smiled and returned the hug.
Sakura opened her eyes only to see Mei-ling and Yelen smiling at her. Syaoran opened his eyes to see a video camera staring him in the face. They both jumped apart laughing nervously and Sakura invited the three into the Living room.
"Umm, digidestined I would like you to meet Li Syaoran, Li Yelen and Li Mei-ling. These are the digidestined Yagami Hikari, Yagami Taichi, and Izumi Koushiro."
"Listen Kinomoto-san, I'm really sorry about your loss of the Sakura Cards, and especially the stuffed... I mean Kero." Mei-ling said.
Sakura smiled at her friend and said, "I'm really happy you all came, we need your help. The digidestined say that they know where the Sakura Cards are."

Yes, I know it's short. But you don't want the chapters to go by so fast do you? I'm going to my dad's today so I won't be updating until Thursday. I just thought it would be nice to get out a chapter before I leave. This story may go by slowly because I can only work on it from Thursday - Sunday. But, I work on my other story from Monday - Wednesday so it sorta works out.
