*URGENT NOTE*
If you haven't read chapter 7 recently, then please read the last paragraph. I didn't know you weren't supposed to put stuff in the and some of Sakura's important thoughts sorta disappeared.
**
Yes, I know I'm late. I was on vacation! Well, I worked really hard on this chapter since it's sorta important but it still is really short! I want to make it long but I guess I'm just not good at that.(Yes, I know, I'm not a very talented writer, but I try.)
I do not own Digimon or Card Captor Sakura...

Arrow's Comeback
*~*~*~*~*
It was pitch black. Sakura looked around but no matter how hard she strained her eyes, nothing could be seen.
"Hello?" she asked the darkness. But there wasn't a response.
Sakura began walking but it didn't seem like she was going anywhere. She looked down at her legs but they were not there. It was just too dark.
Suddenly she heard something. It sounded close but the voice seemed distant.
"Kero-chan! Tomoyo-chan! Where are you!"
It sounded familiar… but that was impossible, was it?
"Kero-chan! Tomoyo-chan! Li-kun!"
The voice was closer now. Then she saw it. Someone was coming. Sakura could see a light approaching. Within seconds, the person was now only a little ways away. Now, looking at the figure closer, Sakura gasped. It was girl around 11 years old with auburn hair and emerald eyes. It was herself!
"How strange. I keep walking but I seem to get nowhere." Sakura heard her other-self say as she still approached. "Is anyone there?"
"KERO-CHAN! TOMOYO-CHAN! SOMEONE ANSWER ME!"
Suddenly she tripped.
"Where is everyone?" young Sakura said as she was getting up. "Am I all alone?"
Sakura looked closer at herself and saw that tears were rolling out of her eyes.
"Crying won't help. Tomoyo-chan and the others might be afraid in the pitch dark."
She stood up with a very determined look on her face and revealed Sakura's old Clow key.
"Key which hides the powers of the darkness reveal yourself to me. By our contract I, Sakura command you. RELEASE!" The Clow wand then appeared.
"I've decided to collect all the cards. I have to do my best!"
"What card would work?" Sakura watched her past self go into deep concentration. She seemed to be thinking about what card this was. Then out of the blue… "...Dark"
The darkness around her went a foggy grey. Sakura was beaming. "That's it!" She exclaimed. But without another thought it went dark again. Sakura again went into thinking but realised something fast.
"Huh? If it was really dark I wouldn't be able to see myself. Why can I see myself?"
But before she could get further into her conclusion, her legs disappeared.
"What!? I can't see myself!"
It looked like she was going to cry again.
"I CAN'T CRY! I have to do my best! Even if I disappear!"
Sakura then smiled. "It'll be alright. It'll surely be okay."
Suddenly a bright light emerged from within the young Sakura.
"Light!"
*~*~*~*~*
"Please Li-kun! Please do something!" Tomoyo begged. She was ecstatic. Something terrible was happening to her Sakura and there was nothing she could do about it.
Syaoran looked at Sakura's eyes. She was staring at the picture of Piedmon. She was looking straight into Piedmon's eyes. Syaoran took out his goblets and transformed them into his sword.
"SUI RYUU SHOURAI!" Syaoran yelled and water emerged from his sword. It doused Sakura from head to toe. To most people this would have seemed pointless but Syaoran knew what he was doing. He had seen it done once before…
Syaoran scanned the area around Sakura. With his sharp eyes, he quickly found what he was looking for. Coming out of one of the eyes was a single piece of string. It was attached to Sakura's forehead. Syaoran yelled and swung his sword down on the string, cutting it easily. Sakura collapsed.
"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled and dropped his sword. He flew to Sakura's side and lifted up her head to look into her eyes. She was gasping for as much oxygen as she could.
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cried and ran to her friend's other side. Syaoran was lifting Sakura up onto his lap.
It took a few moments but Sakura finally got her breath back.
"Sakura!"
Sakura's eyes slowly opened. Syaoran could see the color of her eyes slowly brighten.
She looked up at him for a moment as if she was trying to remember something. Then all of a sudden there was a look of terror and surprise. Within seconds she was up to her feet but they betrayed her and she fell back to the ground.
"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled. He was surprised. Did something happen while she was asleep?
"Run!" Sakura screamed. "Run now!"
"What?" Syaoran questioned
"He-he's coming!"
Syaoran face went white. He had forgotten all about them being in the enemy's house.
"Run! Get out of the cave!" Syaoran ordered.
"What about you?" Mei-ling asked. She was panicking.
"I'll bring Sakura out. All of you just run."
Tomoyo hesitated for a second but finally obeyed and ran out of the cave with Koushiro and Mei-ling.
Syaoran held on to Sakura's arms to lift her up but Sakura weakly struggled away.
"You go too!" she demanded
"I'm not just leaving you here!" Syaoran muttered and again tried to lift her up.
"Syaoran-kun! Please just go!"
"Do you actually think I'll do that?"
"But…"
Suddenly there was a scream from outside.
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura yelled
Sakura slowly lifted herself up and, with the help of Syaoran, exited the cave.
She gasped at what she saw outside.
All of the other digidestined had arrived. They were just outside the woods in which Sakura herself had just been a little time earlier. Even though the other side of the field was quite a ways away, Sakura could clearly see that Tomoyo, Mei-ling, and Koushiro were not in that group. Where could they have gone?
"Hmm…" Piedmon sighed with a delighted smirk on his face. He held up a purple card. "The Knowledge Card, not bad."
Sakura looked closer at the card. On the cover was a picture of Koushiro, standing in a normal position. Underneath, 'Knowledge' was written.
"And these," Piedmon continued. "I can use to start my new collection."
Sakura looked at his other hand. On the tip of his black staff hung two small key chains. They were replicas of both Tomoyo and Meiling.
Could those little key chains really be her friends? But how could that be? Sakura was scared. She knew anything could be done with magic. She looked over at Syaoran and was surprised to see that he was silently cursing himself. She then realised that he had left his sword back in the cave. How could he get it now? He would have to go back in there, but would he be able to?
"Now I'll show you all another nice trick of mine." Piedmon announced above her thoughts. He held up another purple card. It was the Tentomon Card.
"Tentomon!" Piedmon yelled and connected the tip of his staff with the purple card. A red bug digimon appeared before them. Its eyes were glowing an unnatural red.
Piedmon also brought out a Sakura Card but Sakura herself could only see the back of it.
"Big Card! Knowledge Card! Digivolve!"
Piedmon slammed his staff down on both of the cards and a purple cloud emerged from them, surrounding Tentomon.
"Tentomon digivolve to… KABUTERIMON" Sakura could hear from inside the cloud.
The purple cloud grew greatly in size and was blown away by a mysterious wind. Standing in front of them was a giant blue bug digimon.
"Don't you understand?" Piedmon laughed. Sakura saw that he was speaking to the digidestined. "Thanks to this young ex-card mistress, I am now unbeatable! You should all just give up 'hope'."
Piedmon sneered and turned to the blue insect of knowledge. "It's been a while since I've spoken to the child of hope. I command you to retrieve him for me."
Kabuterimon leaped into the air and began flying towards the unexpected group.
"Takeru-kun!" Hikari screamed and grabbed him around the waist. Yamato also stood protectively in front of his younger brother.
"Stop!" Sakura yelled. Piedmon turned to her. She was holding out her staff offensively.
"What are you going to do little girl? Hit me with your wee stick?" Piedmon smirked.
Sakura took out her one and only card. 'Arrow-san? Are you well enough to fight?'
She was hesitant about using her card. Arrow took quite a beating and Sakura wasn't sure about using her right away.
"Yes" Sakura heard from out of nowhere. Who was that? Was she hearing things? The voice was unfamiliar but sounded very warm and kind. Sakura knew to trust the unknown voice in her head.
"Arrow!" Sakura yelled and threw the card out in front of her. But to her surprise, the Arrow card just dropped to the ground.
Sakura bent down and picked up her Sakura card. What had happened? Was the mysterious voice wrong? What if Arrow was to hurt to come out of her card form?
"Sakura"
Sakura looked up. It was Syaoran.
"Look at the bottom."
Sakura again looked down at her card. She then noticed something she hadn't before. At the bottom of the card, 'Piedmon' had been written in messy black ink.
"Pass it here" Syaoran insisted
Sakura handed Syaoran her pink card and he held it in front of him, muttering something under his breath. After a moment or two he handed it back and the smudge of a name had disappeared, showing her usual name. It was her normal card again.
"Arrow!" Sakura repeated and again through it in front of her. This time however it stayed in the air and Sakura was able to hit it with her staff. The arrow card appeared in front of her. Now she was smiling, enjoying the fact that she will now be able to attack the monster that caused her so much pain and is trying to hurt her mistress.
Sakura now realised what had been going on while she was thinking. Piedmon, who had been laughing in amusement at her attempt to use her card, was now seething with anger. Kabuterimon had reached the digidestined and was attacking them from the sky. The digidestined had scattered to escape the assaults from the giant bug.
Arrow held up her bow and fired an arrow at Piedmon.
"Shield!" Piedmon yelled and hit his staff against the card. A grey bubble appeared around him, blocking the attack.
Sakura looked over at the digidestined. Kabuterimon was now chasing Hikari and a boy with spiked blonde hair.
"Arrow-san! Please! Stop it!" Sakura cried. She was scared for her new friends, not knowing what this digimon was capable of.
The girl in purple aimed her bow at the bug and shot her arrow. Unfortunately it was not before Piedmon cast a shield around Kabuterimon. A grey bubble appeared around it but surprisingly the arrow went right through the barrier and the penetrated one of Kabuterimon's four wings. Kabuterimon screeched and began falling towards the earth.
It collided with a loud crash, pelting Hikari and the boy with rocks as they flung themselves to the ground. Sakura could see that the boy was trying to cover up Hikari as much as he could in order to protect her from the flying rocks.
Taichi, the boy Sakura remembered as Hikari's older brother, ran from the trees and towards the younger teens.
Sakura looked back at Piedmon. He was snarling at her in utter fury.
Arrow aimed at Piedmon but didn't bother to shoot, knowing that Shield would block.
But what if Shield didn't protect Piedmon? It didn't work for Kabuterimon so maybe it would also fail for him. Piedmon seemed to also be considering this and decided to waste no time. He pulled out the Sakura cards and chose one.
"Storm!" he yelled.
A small tornado appeared and twisted around Piedmon. Causing him to disappear from Sakura's view. Sakura struggled against the wind but it was just too powerful. It lifted her off her feet and flung her backwards. She crashed into something, which she assumed was the cave wall. At least, that's all she could think before everything went black.
