Don't own CCS. Though with my mental state, it probably would have ended
about the same. But still I make no profit from this, opposed to the warm
fuzzy feeling I get when expanding your minds.
Oh, and definitely not Eriol/Tomoyo. Trust me. I lied about the kitty, not
this one. Sooo not Tomoyo/Eriol.

There was so much blood.
The first shot she heard. After that, the rest were all dull thuds. Even the clicking as she pulled the trigger again and again, firing the long empty gun at the place he once stood seconds before.
Why didn't he just get up again? Clow had done it before him, dying but never leaving well enough alone. Always nearby to advise his successor, even when she probably would have figured it out on her own. Always leading her by the hand through the most direct way to power. Missing most of the important lessons along the way, always in favor of the fastest ways to gain dominion over the cards.

"Congratulations Mrs. Moon, you're pregnant." The doctor smiled as he told her this, but it felt like she had just been punched in the gut. The wall paper in the room seemed to curl as Madison Taylor Moon nodded. Even the drive down the crowed London streets seems tainted and darker then usual. The drizzling skies mimicking her mood that day.
She should have had the perfect life. Marrying her High School Sweetheart. Living in a large mansion in a far away exotic country. And now pregnant with her first child. A part of her mind told her that her school friends would be jealous of her. Rita, Niki, Chelsea, and even Meilin. And Sakura of course...
Sakura... every time she thought of that name she would get the worst migraine headaches. It was a loud buzzing that started back in Readington, when ever she would think of her friend's name. It was like she was under a spell.
Of course that was silly. Her husband was one of the strongest Magicians on the planet. He wouldn't have his wife walking around under a spell.

Unless it was his spell.
But no one would ever do anything that desperate. It'd be evil to play with people's emotions.
As evil as trapping a group of sentient beings to a deck of cards.
Clow was never evil. He just didn't understand that other people may not want his view of the world. Eli would sometimes have the same problem.

"Welcome a new student to class. Eli Moon." That didn't seem right. Mr. Terada didn't speak English much, if at all. Every time Tomoyo closed her eyes, to think of the first time she met her husband, it was slightly different. Like a fog was being lifted from her mind.
"Welcome a new student to Tomoeda, class. Eli Hiiragizawa." Still not quite right. It was Eriol the first time. Eriol Hiiragazawa.
As she dug through a pile of junk mail on the desk in a daze, a part of her noted that all the mail to Madison Taylor was intended for her. But it wasn't 'to' her. Like waking up in a stranger's life. But with a dead body cooling on the floor next to her. Was blood suppose to be that red?
It took a moment for the full effect of what was going on to catch up with her. The fights Eriol had with Ms. MacKenzie had gotten so bad, it was hard to ignore. Then she just vanished suddenly. Without a trace. The police and even the cards could not find her.
Then Eriol began to proposition her. She turned her down repeatedly because of... some one. She was already in love, but with who? Her brow furrowed. Because the caster had died, most of the spell was falling away, but this one strand of it would not leave her...
"Sakura." She looked up, to see both Spinni and Ruby at the door, in their true forms. Their heads are respectfully bowed, perhaps looking at their dead master. "It was Sakura." Ruby repeats for me, before the memories rush back to me. The numbing headache finally gone for now.
They aren't the happiest of memories, bittersweet at the best of times, but they're real. And I understand. Finally, and truly I understand.
Eriol wasn't doing anything evil. He wanted to make everyone happy. He accidently lashed out at Kaho, and in penance, he wanted to make me happy, at any cost. It almost brings a smile to my face as I look up, "You put the diary on my bed, didn't you?" Ruby and Spinel just nod. I would never had known if I never read that.
How upset he had been after erasing Kaho. His great plan to bring her back and needing someone to give birth to her. His wonderful idea to replace Sakura in my mind, and give me a wonderful dream life.
But he couldn't. He couldn't replace Sakura to me. He couldn't hide what she intended to me. He couldn't even erase her from me. The best he could do was change my memories to hide any mention of her. Change my memories, memories of my friends, change the world, so I was for all I knew always a valley girl. Born and raised in America. Far away from Sakura festivals, The Japanese language, cherry blossoms, and all.
I don't know if it really changed, or if it's all just in my head. But now I have to find out. "Ruby? Spinner? Where's Sakura now?"
