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!

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
