Konnichiwa! Another chapter. Sorry for not updating. So here it is! The end of

"Card Master Sakura!"

Tomoyo (appears, looking sad): No more Sakura-chan!

Draconmouth: But Koto-chan will be in it

Tomoyo: Fine with me! (disappears starry-eyed)

Sorceress Vanessa (appears): DM-chan, could you help me hide from Selina? She got

mad at me for making Vanessa hug Yugi in my last chapter of "Battle City tournament"

Draconmouth: Sure, V-chan. Also, if you want to find out what happened to Annemarie,

read "Apocalypse in Dakota". "Card Captor Koto" will be published some time during

the summer, I think. Now, ON WITH THE FIC!

NOTE: /Clow\ = speaking in English; ^Clow^= speaking in Chinese;

Clow=Duel Monsters talking; and _Clow_=speaking on Lokhian

Liuka: 6600

Kaiba: 3800

Liuka drew. /First I play Card of Sanctity so that we both have six cards each.

Then I switch my knight to attack mode-\ /Nice try, but Concealed Bomb, which I can

play during your turn, will negate your switch and destroy your own monster. Special

abilities don't affect it\, the knight was destroyed. Liuka knew that Concealed Bomb

worked forever monster that had its mode switched, so she ended her turn with no

monsters in her hand. It was Kaiba's turn. /First I equip my Lord of Dragons with Flute

of Dragons. This lets me summon two dragons from my hand.\ Liuka had a strange

feeling that she knew what he was going to bring to the field. /My two Blue- Eyes White

Dragons ! (3000/2500) Now I will use Defense Paralysis and attack your Timeless

Mage.\ Liuka knew that her monster's special ability was useless , and her life points

dropped.

Liuka: 5470

Even so, she was going to have to defend herself. But all of her cards were

useless. She drew Summoned Price, but it wouldn't help. /I pass my turn\, she announced

sullenly. Kaiba ordered both of his Blue Eyes to attack her directly

Liuka: 0

She handed him two LOQs as the wager was, and watched him go. She had lost

everything to him; the duel, her chance to win the tournament, and Michelle. She held

onto her Amazon Angel, and picked up her cards. Not once did she glance up at anyone.

But then she saw the boy whom she had defeated earlier. "Do you want me to help?" he

offered. At first she wanted to refuse after understanding what he had meant, but

something stopped her. /Thanks\, she told him. /I can speak a little English\, he told her,

but she said, _And can you speak Lokhian?_ _Yes_, he replied to her complete shock.

Immediately they struck up an enormous conversation. They talked about Lokh, about

their origins, and soon Liuka forgot that she had lost a duel. The boy's name was Moreke,

which was Lokhian for "rain" with an added "ke" since he was a boy. Liuka knew that

her name meant "queen" with an added "ka" for being a girl. Once he asked, _Why do

you wear those gloves?_ A part of her wanted to say it was her style, but she owed

Moreke the truth. She told about how cinemopho powers ran in her family, and Moreke

listened, and said that he was interested in supernatural things. But then she accidentally

bumped into someone. /Michelle!\ she exclaimed. They hugged, and Michelle explained

how she had escaped.

*FLASHBACK*

Her mother had told her that she was working with an organization that would try

to make people accept ophos for whom they were. But her father had disagreed with it,

saying that she should spend more time with her own daughter and make her acceptable

for society. At this point the mother had left, wanting to break off all communications.

But when she learned what Michelle had done. She felt guilty for not being there for her

own daughter. But by then it was too late. So she had decided to take it slow, by sending

small emails and birthdays presents to her father. But he had burned all of them, not sure

whether he was ready to forgive her or not. Then through a sense of madness, she had

kidnapped her own daughter, and it wasn't until they were face-to-face that she realized

that the true monster was she. Then she let Michelle go, on the word that she wouldn't

say a thing to her father. So Michelle had left and met up with Mokuba and Seto.

Michelle explained to Seto that they weren't meant for each other as she still had to grow

up from a little girl to a woman, and did not want to make the same mistake her mother

did. So they were just friends.

*END FLASHBACK*

/Have you talked to Jenny?\ Liuka asked. Michelle nodded. /Let's go home\

Meanwhile, Eriol and Juri, back at his rented house, were having an awkward

moment. "Hiiragizawa- iie, Eriol-kun, we still have things to talk about", her voice was

soft. "Hai", he responded, "Juriko-chan, we will still remain in contact, ne [right]?" "Hai.

Visit my parents' shop sometime. They have a lot of things that you, Suppi- chan, and

Nakuru-san may like." A muffled voice from a bag said, "It's Spinel!" and there was a

scuffle with a "Found you, Suppi-chan! Time for sweets!" and a "NOO!". Juri and Eriol

had a laugh. "I will not longer be Juri Fujimoto or Jane Fowers", Juri closed her eyes, and

"I will be Jane Fujimoto, taking on my mother's name." Eriol gave her a light kiss on the

cheek. "All right, Jane-chan."

(AN: Now, everything here's in English. So don't worry about the above, except

for the Lokhian)

In years to come Liuka never quite knew what had happened. She and Michelle

were eighteen, Michelle having recently graduated from Oberlin College and Liuka from

Stoneman High. Liuka was now a national runner- giving up Duel Monsters completely-

but right now, she was enjoying her time with her cousin. Then Michelle had noticed a

baby bird that had fallen out of its nest of an Australian pine. "Come down!" Liuka

called, but Michelle insisted that she would be all right. The mother thanked her for

returning her baby to the nest through chirps, but at that moment Michelle slipped and

fell into the lap of a man who had just lay there to rest. By the time Liuka came over to

check on her cousin, Liuka's English tutor Mr. Stovall had said, "I thought and angel had

fallen out of the sky." Liuka then went to University of Miami, and even though she was

slightly annoyed at Mr. Stovall, she let it go. In time they got married, but after Liuka

graduated from UM , she herself had dated different men, but had married Moreke Tamil

(yes, the same boy who had helped her) and moved back to Lokh, where she had truly

belonged the whole time. As an old saying went, _No two people ever walk on the same

path of adulthood._

One night Jane was working late at her inherited shop. Many witches and wizards

as well as a small handful of sorcerers and sorceresses came now that she had a mix of

old and new things. She hadn't seen her old friends for years, although Jenny and

William had come in for an occasional visit. Rarely were there non-magic people. But on

this particular night Eriol had come in. In his blue Chinese robes he truly did look like

Clow Reed. In her pale Sakura-embroidered robes, Jane truly did look like Ying Fa. He

took out the ring from long ago that had been laid on his hand. "Jane Fujimoto, I have

chosen who I would take this ring off for." "Eriol-kun, I don't know what to say", Jane

answered. This was not the answer Eriol had expected. "Why?" he asked. "Because if we

married you would insist on me selling the shop and moving to Japan or England, which

is something I cannot do." "How about we compromise", the man suggested. "We will

still live in Miami, but every summer and winter we will visit Sakura and my cute little

descendant." Jane laughed. "Then yes." The ring floated on her hand.

Sakura and Syaoran were happy together in Hong Kong. Their first child was a

girl who was pink-haired and amber-eyed. She was name Tomoko, after her first-cousin

Tomoyo, who was married to Yugi. But about seven years later, Sakura was having

another child with difficulty. Syaoran had died of a hereditary Li Clan illness that had

killed his father. And Sakura felt herself dying, too. But the child would survive. "His

name will by Koto", she told Yue and Cerberus, who no longer needed their false forms,

"because I like events." As expected, the future Koto had come and talked to her, but she

gave no answer to his questions. She would reincarnate, of course, to guide her son and

descendant of the Sakura Cards. Tomoko knew about the Sakura Cards, but they were not

meant for her, although she could see ghosts now as well as other spirits. On the fateful

day that she was in labor, she made Meiling promise not to say a word of the Sakura

Cards until Koto discovered it himself and raise him in Tomoeda. She told Tomoko not to

mention it at all. On her last dying breath, she requested that she would be the daughter or

Eriol and Jane that was coming up. The Li Clan had finished its reign. So on the day that

Li Kinomoto Sakura died, Hiiragizawa Anuko was born. But in the meantime, Li Koto

would discover for himself in Tomoeda that there were such things as cards. But in the

meantime, he still had another ten years himself.

Pussy willows, cattails,

Soft winds and roses

Rain pools in the woodlands

Water to my knees

Shivering, quivering

The warm breathe of spring

Pussy willows, cattails

Soft winds and roses

Catbirds and cornfields

Daydreams together

Riding on the roadside

The dust gets in your eyes

Reveling, disheveling

The summer nights can bring

Pussy willows, cattails

Soft winds and roses

Slanted rays and colored rays

Stark blue horizons

Naked limbs and wheat bins

Hazy afternoons

Voicing, rejoicing

The wine cups do bring

Pussy willows, cattails

Soft winds and roses

Harsh nights and candlelights

Wood fires, a blazng

Soft lips and fingertips

Resting in my soul

Treasuring, remembering

The promise of Spring

Pussy willows, cattails

Soft winds and roses

One more thing; do you want a sneak peek of "Card Captor Koto"?
