Last time in CP2.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo" apologized Sakura. "That's okay. You've got a lot on your mind, I understand" "Hoe?" asked Sakura. "Am I that transparent?" she asked. "Yes, I'm afraid you are" spoke a voice from the doorway. Sakura and Tomoyo both looked. "Sorry to intrude, but I needed to talk to you Sakura" "Sure Eriol, what's on your mind?" she asked smiling. "It's about Syaoran," he said. Her smile faded. "Oh.you noticed too?" she asked smugly. "Yes, I have. I don't know what it is, but I do know if anyone can help him, it's you Sakura" he said smiling. "Thanks Eriol" And he walked out. Her face suddenly became serious. "Tomoyo, could you play the song we reordered last time?" she asked. "Sure Sakura, but why?" "Cause the mood of the song will help me to think," she said as Tomoyo played the tape. Sakura then sat down and closed her eyes.
"And now, that I know Terumi is back." she said slowly putting the pieces together as the chorus came in strong and hard. "He's starting to act.distant!" she said in shock and almost accusingly.
"No.Syaoran." she slowly said as she remembered the dream he had last night.
"Mistakes?" asked Sakura. "Yes Mistakes. It was a mistakes to be with you, and it would be a terrible mistake to marry you" he said with out any emotion. "From now on, the wedding is officially off" he informed. "I have a new lover," he continued as Sakura eyes widened further with shock. "This soon?" she chocked out struggling to hold back tears. "Yes, her name is Terumi" he added. Sakura glared at her. "What? Don't believe him?" Terumi asked with amusement. "Maybe we should show her?" she suggested. "No.don't!" Sakura pleaded. But Syaoran ignored her, bent down and gave Terumi a long, deep, passionate kiss on the lips.
Syaoran turned to her, for a moment, he looked like his normal self, but his face then grew hard and distant. "Nice try Kinomoto" he said as a huge gust of wind came and blew Sakura and Eriol over onto their backs. Sakura slowly got up onto her side just to see them leave. A single tear running down her face. "Syaoran.!!" she cried. "No.Syaoran." "Sakura." "Hoe?" she asked looking up. "Come on, let's go back," he said with a reassuring smile. She nodded but didn't say anything as she looked towards the direction Syaoran last stood.
And so our story continues.

CHAPTER VIII ~ HIDDEN POWER
~Next Day~
"How is she?" asked Tomoyo. Eriol shook his head. Tomoyo's face saddened. "What are we going to do?" she asked. "I don't know Tomoyo." he sighed.
~Sakura~
She was lying in bed. She looked weak, tired and depressed. "Sakura?" asked Tomoyo as she opened the door. "Hi Tomoyo" Sakura replied dully. "Sakura, you know Syaoran didn't mean those things he said, he was under Terumi's spell," she said sympathetically. "He loves all of us, you most of all" she added. " I know Tomoyo, but.to hear those words from him.it hurts" she cried. "I know Sakura." "Sakura!" said a voice from the door. "Huh? Eriol?" asked Tomoyo. "What's wrong Eriol?" asked Sakura. "I have an Idea," he said. "Hoe?" asked Sakura.
~Tomoyo's Room~
"Okay Sakura, when you use this transportation device here in combination with your speed ability, it will allow you to teleport to the other side where you'll meet up with Clow Reed" Eriol Informed. "Really? I'll see Clow?" asked Sakura. Eriol nodded his head. "How do you know Eriol?" asked Tomoyo. "He told me," he answered smiling. "Okay, so you ready?" he asked. Sakura nodded. "I'll cya later then" said Sakura. "Be careful," said Tomoyo. "Don't worry, I will" said Sakura before she closed her eyes and with a flash, she disappeared. "Are you sure she'll be okay?" asked Tomoyo concerned. "Don't worry, I know Clow has something planned for our Sakura.she'll be fine"
~Clow~
"Ah.. here she is" said Clow as Sakura appeared from out of nowhere. "Hello Clow Reed, how are you?" she asked bowing politely. "No need for such tradition here Sakura," he laughed. "But I'm fine" he added. "Eriol said that you wanted to talk to me," said Sakura. "Yes.Terumi has gotten terribly stronger, not even you could defeat her in your state, and now that Syaoran has fallen into enemy hands.." Sakura's face saddened. "Now that's not good enough, Sakura, there was nothing you could do, you know that, and you know he didn't mean what he said, so why are you so upset? You have to be strong, don't worry, you'll get him back" Sakura nodded in understanding before whipping her tears away. "That's better.now, you need more power to beat Terumi this time" "I know, but how? How can I get such power?" asked Sakura. "From within yourself" replied Clow.
"Hoe?" asked Sakura lost. "Sakura, you are a descendant from an ancient race called the 'Fuyu Ryü' other wise known as the 'Winter Dragons'. That's why when you transform, your body turns to crystal," he explained. Sakura was numb with shock, but made sure to take in every word. "Now Sakura, there is a lot more power within you then you realise, enough power to wipe out nearly 300 Terumi's" "THAT MANY??" asked Sakura not believing her ears. Clow nodded. "But because this power is so great, it's extremely hard to control. You must have complete control or you could destroy the entire solar system. Can you handle such a power Sakura?" "I don't know.I might," said Sakura unsure. "Are there any others like me?" she asked. "Yes, but they don't have the power you have. They are your mother and brother" "My mother and brother?" asked Sakura. Clow nodded. "What about my father?" "No, it's only pasted down by females" "Then.how did Touya get it?" "It was something to do with his birth, but what, we don't know" "oh." "Sakura, the Heart Felt song spell didn't work on Syaoran did it?" "No.it didn't," she said remembering what happened.
~Flash Back~
He started to walk away when he heard a voice, a very angelic voice behind him.
(Sakura)
This time before you run to her, leaving me alone and hurt,
Think it over, haven't I been good to you?
Think it over; haven't I been sweet to you?
Stop! In the name of love, before you break my heart,
Stop! In the name of love, before you break my heart,
Think it over, think it over.
~End of Flashback~
"Then you need a more powerful spell" "What one?" she asked. "I'm sorry Sakura, but you need to figure this out on your own, this is another test Sakura, I want you to past with flying colours, okay?" "Sure" said Sakura smiling. "I don't know if I can do it or not, but I'll sure give it my best shot" she added honestly. "Good, I'll be seeing you later then" he said smiling. "Bye Sakura, until we meet again"
~Tomoyo~
"Sakura!?" asked Tomoyo. "Tomoyo!" Sakura said smiling. "Oh thank goodness you're ok," said Tomoyo with relief. "So Sakura, what happened?" asked Eriol. "Not much, but Clow had quite a few interesting things to tell me" "Like what?" asked Tomoyo. "First I want the others here, they have to know this as well" said Sakura. "Okay" said Eriol. "I'll go get them" he added and left. "While Eriol is doing that, I've got an Idea for that song you couldn't finish" said Sakura. "Oh?" asked Tomoyo. "This song is for Terumi and what she did to Syaoran," said Sakura.
~Recording room~
(Sakura)
I see the picture clear now, and the fog has lifted.
The wool you tried to pull over my eyes was clever.
Yeah you're gifted.
But you forgot to dot some I's, and cross some T's along the way.
I'm better now despite you baby.
I'm stronger these days.
Stronger.
[Chorus]
I survived the crash.
Survived the burn.
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies.
Survived the blues.
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth.
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I survived you.
I can look in the mirror now.
It's been a slow awakening.
Haunted by a heart full of you, couldn't help mistaking.
That you could ever care for anyone.
Anyone but yourself. Hey, yeah,
But you would have to have a conscious baby.
Good luck I wish you well.
[Chorus]
I survived the crash!
Survived the burn!
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies!
Survived the blues!
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth.
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I survived you.
This heart has been torn in two.
Cut and bruised.
With too many bitter endings.
I'll be damned if I have thoughts of you, rain, on my new beginning~!!
[Chorus]
I survived the crash!
Survived the burn!
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies!
Survived the blues!
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth!
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I survived the crash!
Survived the burn!
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies!
Survived the blues!
Almost killed me, but I surviv~ed the truth!
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I surviv~ed you~.
"Wow.Sakura, will we be singing that one to the performance on GMA?" asked Tomoyo. "No.I think we'll sing 'The Motown Song' instead" (A/N: GMA = Good Morning Australia - a television show here in Australia that's aired in the morning from 6am, hosted by Bert Newton. Cool show, though I rarely watch it ^____^') "Sakura?" came Eriol voice. Sakura and Tomoyo looked towards the doorway as Eriol, Kai, Melin, Touya, Kero, Yue, Ruby, Spinner, Naoko, Rita, and Chiharu walked in. "What's up Sakura?" asked Melin. "I've got some news for you all, some is good, some is bad" explained Sakura. "Start with the bad first" said Kero. "Okay, Syaoran is under a spell, and has fallen into enemy hands" Everyone gasped. "Syaoran's with that slut???" asked a pissed Melin. Sakura sweat dropped. "Yes, Syaoran is with Terumi, Terumi is also a lot stronger then the last time we fought her" "But you can still beat her, can't you Sakura?" asked Melin. "Can't you?" she asked again when Sakura didn't answer. Sakura looked over at Touya then sighed. "I'm a descendant of a ancient race called the 'Fuyu Ryü' or 'Winter Dragons'. That's why my body turns crystal when I transform" Everyone looked dumbfounded.
"It's true, Clow told me," she added. Touya looked at his sister. "I know it's true" he said looking straight at her. "So you know about it Touya?" "Yes, I'm also part of the race, although I'm not supposed to be" "What do you mean?" asked Eriol. "Only females carry and past on the gene, males cannot inherit the power, but somehow Touya did" said Sakura. "I see," said Tomoyo. "So what are we going to do about the GMA performance?" asked Chiharu. Sakura looked at her, her eyes flashed then 2 cards came floating into the air above her. "The Song and Illusion cards?" asked Eriol. "Yes, Song will copy Syaoran's voice, and Illusion will create the illusion that Syaoran is there singing along with us" "Great Idea Sakura" praised Tomoyo as the others agreed. Sakura smiled her appreciation, then suddenly turned and faced the window. "What's wrong Sakura?" asked Tomoyo. "Sakura?" she asked again when Sakura didn't answer. Suddenly Syaoran appeared by the window. Sakura, Eriol, Kai, Kero, Yue, Spinner and Ruby moved in front of the others like a shield to protect them. "What do you want?" Sakura spat venomously, knowing he was now working for the enemy. Syaoran smirked. "I have a message from Terumi," he said. Sakura glared at him for a moment before walking up to him and accepting the letter.
"What does it say?" asked Yue. "Terumi's challenging me to a duel" she said. {Just like I knew she would} she thought. She looked at Syaoran. "Well?" he asked. "You tell Terumi that I accept her challenge," everyone gasped. "But I want to know when and where" she added. "2 weeks exactly from today, at the very end of the forest, near the cliff. See you then - Card Mistress," he said before he disappeared. "Sakura! Are you crazy??" asked Kero. "Sakura!! Are you listening to me??" "Sakura!!" he persisted. "Kero." she said not looking at him. "Terumi is stronger then ever, Syaoran is under her spell, and now she has challenged me to a duel, if I don't accept this duel, she might as well just blow up the planet right now!!" she growled glaring at him with one of Syaoran's famous death glares. "I've got 2 weeks to train and somehow find this ancient power I have within me" "But Sakura, that's the day before our big concert, and what happens if you don't find this power?" asked Rita. Sakura glared at her for a moment, which made Rita a bit uneasy. Sakura then sighed. "Look, I don't know, but if anyone has a better idea, tell me now" she said. No one spoke. "Fine then, if anyone wants me, I'll be training" and she walked out. "What happened?" asked Kero. "I don't know, she seems so strong and cold.but I guess you have to be to defeat Terumi," said Tomoyo. The others nodded in agreement.
~A Week Later~
"Has Kai been around here?" asked Melin. "Nope, not around here.why?" asked Eriol. "He was supposed to take me out for lunch 3 hours ago!!!" she complained. Eriol Sweat dropped.
~Sakura~
She had her eyes shut as her body floated in the air. She opened her eyes, turned around as her body transformed into her crystal form just in time to block the fire coming towards her. "Nice.. you've gotten a lot stronger, and a lot quicker" said a voice from behind the trees. "Thanks Kai, you've gotten a lot better too" "But I think that'll do for you" "Why?" "Cause Melin's patience is wavering quickly" she said sweat dropping. "How do you know?" asked Kai. Sakura smiled and tapped her head, meaning her psychic powers. "Oh.darn, I forgot, I betta go, cya Sakura" "Cya Kai" "Hoe." she sighed as she watched him disappear into the distance. "Okay, round two" she said as she called upon the fight, dash and power card to battle against.
~Melin~
"Oh.where could he be?!?" complained Melin. "Where could who be?" asked Kai as he came in through the door. "Kai, I have know idea where he coul-KAI!!" she said seeing him standing there. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???" Kai sweat dropped. {Sakura was right...} he thought. "I was training with Sakura and lost track time," Kai explained. "That is the lamest excuse I ever heard!!!" But it's true!!" Kai fought back. Suddenly they heard laughter coming from the doorway. "Sakura?" they both asked. "Melin, don't be mad at him, he was helping me" she said smiling. "What's wrong?" asked Kai. "Hoe? Nothings wrong, why?" she asked puzzled. "You're smiling.you haven't smiled in over a week." Kai started. "Oh, don't worry about that. Right now, we need to get refreshed" "Why's that?" asked Melin. "Did you forget about our performance at the GMA tonight?" "Oh shit." Melin cursed. Sakura started laughing. "You better hurry, it's a long trip" Sakura stated smiling. Melin nodded and ran out of the room, closely followed by Kai. "You didn't forget too Eriol?" Sakura asked as he walked into the room. "No, I'm ready" he said as he sat down on the couch. "Oh? You're not going to wear that are you?" she asked looking at his baggy shirt and shorts. "No.I've got my clothes ready on my bed" he said shaking his head. Sakura sweat dropped.
~GMA~
Sakura was looking out the window and staring at the stars. "Sakura.you going to get Syaoran?" asked Tomoyo as she walked over towards her. Sakura's eyes quickly looked in her friend's direction before looking back at the stars. Her body then started glowing a crystal like colour. Tomoyo stopped dead in her tracks. Even though she knew about Sakura's power, she still got a bit nervous whenever Sakura powered up without saying anything. Suddenly the Song and Illusion cards flew up and released their spirits as a Syaoran like figure appeared in front of them. "Just keep a low profile okay?" Sakura ordered the fake Syaoran. He nodded. "Sakura, what songs are we singing again? I forgot," asked a sweat dropping Naoko. "Touch, The Motown Song and Young Turks" she replied. "Ah.thanks Sakura" "Sakura, it's nearly time," said Eriol who was waiting outside the room. "Thanks Eriol, well Tomoyo, you ready?" asked Sakura. Tomoyo nodded. "Let's go," she said.
~On Stage~
"Now, please welcome to the show, for the first time, the Sapphire Blossoms!" said Bert.
(Fake Syaoran)
Blue, is the ocean in your eyes,
Blue is cool September skies, as a lonely waterfall.
Red, is the fire in your heart,
Or the passion of love that we make as the sunset is fading away.
(Kai)

The audience clapped as the music for the next song started.
(Sakura, Melin, Kai and Eriol)
Ooh, ooh, oh. (4x)
(All)
Bring over some of your old Motown records,
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go,
On the roof and listen to the Miracles,
Echo to the alley down below,
(Sakura)
Oh yeah,

Let's don't worry about the future or nothin' else,
'Cause just like the music's sayin', you gotta take chances,
Go ahead just do it, and trust yourself,
(Melin)

(Tomoyo)
Oh yeah,

But they think we're just dreaming,
Let's prove them wrong, baby,
'Cause you know what luck is,
Luck is believing you're lucky,
That's all, and showing just a little bit of faith,
(Rita)
There's a soul, in the city,

There's a whole world waiting out there!! Ahh, yeah!!
(Sakura, Melin, Kai and Eriol)
Ooh, ooh, oh. (4x)
(Chiharu)

But when we walk that darkened stairway,
And step out on the roof!!

(All)

(Fade.)
Everyone clapped and whistled wildly. (A/N: I love that song! ^_______^ Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.)
(Fake Syaoran)
Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams.
He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this.
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma, she was just seventeen, There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.
(Kai)
They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited.
We got just one shot of life, let's take it while we're still not afraid.
Because life is so brief, and time is a thief, when you're undecided.
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.
(All)
Young hearts, be free, tonight! Time, is on, your side!
Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around;
Don't let 'em ever change your, point of view.
(Eriol)
Paradise was closed, so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner.
They took a two-room apartment that was jumping ev'ry night of the week.
Happiness was found in each other's arms, as expected, yeah,
Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh!
(All)
Young hearts, be free, tonight! Time, is on, your side!
Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around;
don't let 'em ever change your, point of view.
[Instrumental verse] (A/N: Whenever the Sapphire Blossoms are performing, there is a band there, playing the music for them, and sometimes when there are not enough people to play the instruments, Eriol or someone, who knows how to play it, will fill in their place as well as singing the song, hope that clears this problem up)
(All except Sakura)
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
(Sakura)
Young hearts, be free, tonight. Time, is on, on your side.
(Melin)
Billy wrote a letter back home to Patti's parents tryin' to explain.
He said we're both real sorry that it had to turn out this way.
But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody list'ning, so we just ran away,
Patti gave birth to a ten-pound baby boy, yeah!
(All)
Young hearts, be free, tonight, time, is on, your side.
Young hearts, be free, tonight, time, is on, your side.
Young hearts, be free, tonight, time, in on, your side.
(Sakura sings this part while the others continue singing what's above)
Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free
Time is on, time is on your side,
Time, time, time, time is on your side,
is on your side,
is on your side,
is on your side,
Young hearts, be free, tonight,
tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah.
Music continues then fades.
The audience claps and cheers as they take bows. "Please thanks the Sapphire Blossoms!" said Bert. They all head backstage and back to the hotel they now, and for the time begin, call home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" " Talking { } Thinking or telepathic communication ( ) Note from me
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Last time in CP2.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo" apologized Sakura. "That's okay. You've got a lot on your mind, I understand" "Hoe?" asked Sakura. "Am I that transparent?" she asked. "Yes, I'm afraid you are" spoke a voice from the doorway. Sakura and Tomoyo both looked. "Sorry to intrude, but I needed to talk to you Sakura" "Sure Eriol, what's on your mind?" she asked smiling. "It's about Syaoran," he said. Her smile faded. "Oh.you noticed too?" she asked smugly. "Yes, I have. I don't know what it is, but I do know if anyone can help him, it's you Sakura" he said smiling. "Thanks Eriol" And he walked out. Her face suddenly became serious. "Tomoyo, could you play the song we reordered last time?" she asked. "Sure Sakura, but why?" "Cause the mood of the song will help me to think," she said as Tomoyo played the tape. Sakura then sat down and closed her eyes.
"And now, that I know Terumi is back." she said slowly putting the pieces together as the chorus came in strong and hard. "He's starting to act.distant!" she said in shock and almost accusingly.
"No.Syaoran." she slowly said as she remembered the dream he had last night.
"Mistakes?" asked Sakura. "Yes Mistakes. It was a mistakes to be with you, and it would be a terrible mistake to marry you" he said with out any emotion. "From now on, the wedding is officially off" he informed. "I have a new lover," he continued as Sakura eyes widened further with shock. "This soon?" she chocked out struggling to hold back tears. "Yes, her name is Terumi" he added. Sakura glared at her. "What? Don't believe him?" Terumi asked with amusement. "Maybe we should show her?" she suggested. "No.don't!" Sakura pleaded. But Syaoran ignored her, bent down and gave Terumi a long, deep, passionate kiss on the lips.
Syaoran turned to her, for a moment, he looked like his normal self, but his face then grew hard and distant. "Nice try Kinomoto" he said as a huge gust of wind came and blew Sakura and Eriol over onto their backs. Sakura slowly got up onto her side just to see them leave. A single tear running down her face. "Syaoran.!!" she cried. "No.Syaoran." "Sakura." "Hoe?" she asked looking up. "Come on, let's go back," he said with a reassuring smile. She nodded but didn't say anything as she looked towards the direction Syaoran last stood.
And so our story continues.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
CHAPTER VIII ~ HIDDEN POWER
~Next Day~
"How is she?" asked Tomoyo. Eriol shook his head. Tomoyo's face saddened. "What are we going to do?" she asked. "I don't know Tomoyo." he sighed.
~Sakura~
She was lying in bed. She looked weak, tired and depressed. "Sakura?" asked Tomoyo as she opened the door. "Hi Tomoyo" Sakura replied dully. "Sakura, you know Syaoran didn't mean those things he said, he was under Terumi's spell," she said sympathetically. "He loves all of us, you most of all" she added. " I know Tomoyo, but.to hear those words from him.it hurts" she cried. "I know Sakura." "Sakura!" said a voice from the door. "Huh? Eriol?" asked Tomoyo. "What's wrong Eriol?" asked Sakura. "I have an Idea," he said. "Hoe?" asked Sakura.
~Tomoyo's Room~
"Okay Sakura, when you use this transportation device here in combination with your speed ability, it will allow you to teleport to the other side where you'll meet up with Clow Reed" Eriol Informed. "Really? I'll see Clow?" asked Sakura. Eriol nodded his head. "How do you know Eriol?" asked Tomoyo. "He told me," he answered smiling. "Okay, so you ready?" he asked. Sakura nodded. "I'll cya later then" said Sakura. "Be careful," said Tomoyo. "Don't worry, I will" said Sakura before she closed her eyes and with a flash, she disappeared. "Are you sure she'll be okay?" asked Tomoyo concerned. "Don't worry, I know Clow has something planned for our Sakura.she'll be fine"
~Clow~
"Ah.. here she is" said Clow as Sakura appeared from out of nowhere. "Hello Clow Reed, how are you?" she asked bowing politely. "No need for such tradition here Sakura," he laughed. "But I'm fine" he added. "Eriol said that you wanted to talk to me," said Sakura. "Yes.Terumi has gotten terribly stronger, not even you could defeat her in your state, and now that Syaoran has fallen into enemy hands.." Sakura's face saddened. "Now that's not good enough, Sakura, there was nothing you could do, you know that, and you know he didn't mean what he said, so why are you so upset? You have to be strong, don't worry, you'll get him back" Sakura nodded in understanding before whipping her tears away. "That's better.now, you need more power to beat Terumi this time" "I know, but how? How can I get such power?" asked Sakura. "From within yourself" replied Clow.
"Hoe?" asked Sakura lost. "Sakura, you are a descendant from an ancient race called the 'Fuyu Ryü' other wise known as the 'Winter Dragons'. That's why when you transform, your body turns to crystal," he explained. Sakura was numb with shock, but made sure to take in every word. "Now Sakura, there is a lot more power within you then you realise, enough power to wipe out nearly 300 Terumi's" "THAT MANY??" asked Sakura not believing her ears. Clow nodded. "But because this power is so great, it's extremely hard to control. You must have complete control or you could destroy the entire solar system. Can you handle such a power Sakura?" "I don't know.I might," said Sakura unsure. "Are there any others like me?" she asked. "Yes, but they don't have the power you have. They are your mother and brother" "My mother and brother?" asked Sakura. Clow nodded. "What about my father?" "No, it's only pasted down by females" "Then.how did Touya get it?" "It was something to do with his birth, but what, we don't know" "oh." "Sakura, the Heart Felt song spell didn't work on Syaoran did it?" "No.it didn't," she said remembering what happened.
~Flash Back~
He started to walk away when he heard a voice, a very angelic voice behind him.
(Sakura)
This time before you run to her, leaving me alone and hurt,
Think it over, haven't I been good to you?
Think it over; haven't I been sweet to you?
Stop! In the name of love, before you break my heart,
Stop! In the name of love, before you break my heart,
Think it over, think it over.
~End of Flashback~
"Then you need a more powerful spell" "What one?" she asked. "I'm sorry Sakura, but you need to figure this out on your own, this is another test Sakura, I want you to past with flying colours, okay?" "Sure" said Sakura smiling. "I don't know if I can do it or not, but I'll sure give it my best shot" she added honestly. "Good, I'll be seeing you later then" he said smiling. "Bye Sakura, until we meet again"
~Tomoyo~
"Sakura!?" asked Tomoyo. "Tomoyo!" Sakura said smiling. "Oh thank goodness you're ok," said Tomoyo with relief. "So Sakura, what happened?" asked Eriol. "Not much, but Clow had quite a few interesting things to tell me" "Like what?" asked Tomoyo. "First I want the others here, they have to know this as well" said Sakura. "Okay" said Eriol. "I'll go get them" he added and left. "While Eriol is doing that, I've got an Idea for that song you couldn't finish" said Sakura. "Oh?" asked Tomoyo. "This song is for Terumi and what she did to Syaoran," said Sakura.
~Recording room~
(Sakura)
I see the picture clear now, and the fog has lifted.
The wool you tried to pull over my eyes was clever.
Yeah you're gifted.
But you forgot to dot some I's, and cross some T's along the way.
I'm better now despite you baby.
I'm stronger these days.
Stronger.
[Chorus]
I survived the crash.
Survived the burn.
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies.
Survived the blues.
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth.
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I survived you.
I can look in the mirror now.
It's been a slow awakening.
Haunted by a heart full of you, couldn't help mistaking.
That you could ever care for anyone.
Anyone but yourself. Hey, yeah,
But you would have to have a conscious baby.
Good luck I wish you well.
[Chorus]
I survived the crash!
Survived the burn!
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies!
Survived the blues!
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth.
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I survived you.
This heart has been torn in two.
Cut and bruised.
With too many bitter endings.
I'll be damned if I have thoughts of you, rain, on my new beginning~!!
[Chorus]
I survived the crash!
Survived the burn!
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies!
Survived the blues!
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth!
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I survived the crash!
Survived the burn!
Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned.
Survived the lies!
Survived the blues!
Almost killed me, but I surviv~ed the truth!
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed.
I surviv~ed you~.
"Wow.Sakura, will we be singing that one to the performance on GMA?" asked Tomoyo. "No.I think we'll sing 'The Motown Song' instead" (A/N: GMA = Good Morning Australia - a television show here in Australia that's aired in the morning from 6am, hosted by Bert Newton. Cool show, though I rarely watch it ^____^') "Sakura?" came Eriol voice. Sakura and Tomoyo looked towards the doorway as Eriol, Kai, Melin, Touya, Kero, Yue, Ruby, Spinner, Naoko, Rita, and Chiharu walked in. "What's up Sakura?" asked Melin. "I've got some news for you all, some is good, some is bad" explained Sakura. "Start with the bad first" said Kero. "Okay, Syaoran is under a spell, and has fallen into enemy hands" Everyone gasped. "Syaoran's with that slut???" asked a pissed Melin. Sakura sweat dropped. "Yes, Syaoran is with Terumi, Terumi is also a lot stronger then the last time we fought her" "But you can still beat her, can't you Sakura?" asked Melin. "Can't you?" she asked again when Sakura didn't answer. Sakura looked over at Touya then sighed. "I'm a descendant of a ancient race called the 'Fuyu Ryü' or 'Winter Dragons'. That's why my body turns crystal when I transform" Everyone looked dumbfounded.
"It's true, Clow told me," she added. Touya looked at his sister. "I know it's true" he said looking straight at her. "So you know about it Touya?" "Yes, I'm also part of the race, although I'm not supposed to be" "What do you mean?" asked Eriol. "Only females carry and past on the gene, males cannot inherit the power, but somehow Touya did" said Sakura. "I see," said Tomoyo. "So what are we going to do about the GMA performance?" asked Chiharu. Sakura looked at her, her eyes flashed then 2 cards came floating into the air above her. "The Song and Illusion cards?" asked Eriol. "Yes, Song will copy Syaoran's voice, and Illusion will create the illusion that Syaoran is there singing along with us" "Great Idea Sakura" praised Tomoyo as the others agreed. Sakura smiled her appreciation, then suddenly turned and faced the window. "What's wrong Sakura?" asked Tomoyo. "Sakura?" she asked again when Sakura didn't answer. Suddenly Syaoran appeared by the window. Sakura, Eriol, Kai, Kero, Yue, Spinner and Ruby moved in front of the others like a shield to protect them. "What do you want?" Sakura spat venomously, knowing he was now working for the enemy. Syaoran smirked. "I have a message from Terumi," he said. Sakura glared at him for a moment before walking up to him and accepting the letter.
"What does it say?" asked Yue. "Terumi's challenging me to a duel" she said. {Just like I knew she would} she thought. She looked at Syaoran. "Well?" he asked. "You tell Terumi that I accept her challenge," everyone gasped. "But I want to know when and where" she added. "2 weeks exactly from today, at the very end of the forest, near the cliff. See you then - Card Mistress," he said before he disappeared. "Sakura! Are you crazy??" asked Kero. "Sakura!! Are you listening to me??" "Sakura!!" he persisted. "Kero." she said not looking at him. "Terumi is stronger then ever, Syaoran is under her spell, and now she has challenged me to a duel, if I don't accept this duel, she might as well just blow up the planet right now!!" she growled glaring at him with one of Syaoran's famous death glares. "I've got 2 weeks to train and somehow find this ancient power I have within me" "But Sakura, that's the day before our big concert, and what happens if you don't find this power?" asked Rita. Sakura glared at her for a moment, which made Rita a bit uneasy. Sakura then sighed. "Look, I don't know, but if anyone has a better idea, tell me now" she said. No one spoke. "Fine then, if anyone wants me, I'll be training" and she walked out. "What happened?" asked Kero. "I don't know, she seems so strong and cold.but I guess you have to be to defeat Terumi," said Tomoyo. The others nodded in agreement.
~A Week Later~
"Has Kai been around here?" asked Melin. "Nope, not around here.why?" asked Eriol. "He was supposed to take me out for lunch 3 hours ago!!!" she complained. Eriol Sweat dropped.
~Sakura~
She had her eyes shut as her body floated in the air. She opened her eyes, turned around as her body transformed into her crystal form just in time to block the fire coming towards her. "Nice.. you've gotten a lot stronger, and a lot quicker" said a voice from behind the trees. "Thanks Kai, you've gotten a lot better too" "But I think that'll do for you" "Why?" "Cause Melin's patience is wavering quickly" she said sweat dropping. "How do you know?" asked Kai. Sakura smiled and tapped her head, meaning her psychic powers. "Oh.darn, I forgot, I betta go, cya Sakura" "Cya Kai" "Hoe." she sighed as she watched him disappear into the distance. "Okay, round two" she said as she called upon the fight, dash and power card to battle against.
~Melin~
"Oh.where could he be?!?" complained Melin. "Where could who be?" asked Kai as he came in through the door. "Kai, I have know idea where he coul-KAI!!" she said seeing him standing there. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???" Kai sweat dropped. {Sakura was right...} he thought. "I was training with Sakura and lost track time," Kai explained. "That is the lamest excuse I ever heard!!!" But it's true!!" Kai fought back. Suddenly they heard laughter coming from the doorway. "Sakura?" they both asked. "Melin, don't be mad at him, he was helping me" she said smiling. "What's wrong?" asked Kai. "Hoe? Nothings wrong, why?" she asked puzzled. "You're smiling.you haven't smiled in over a week." Kai started. "Oh, don't worry about that. Right now, we need to get refreshed" "Why's that?" asked Melin. "Did you forget about our performance at the GMA tonight?" "Oh shit." Melin cursed. Sakura started laughing. "You better hurry, it's a long trip" Sakura stated smiling. Melin nodded and ran out of the room, closely followed by Kai. "You didn't forget too Eriol?" Sakura asked as he walked into the room. "No, I'm ready" he said as he sat down on the couch. "Oh? You're not going to wear that are you?" she asked looking at his baggy shirt and shorts. "No.I've got my clothes ready on my bed" he said shaking his head. Sakura sweat dropped.
~GMA~
Sakura was looking out the window and staring at the stars. "Sakura.you going to get Syaoran?" asked Tomoyo as she walked over towards her. Sakura's eyes quickly looked in her friend's direction before looking back at the stars. Her body then started glowing a crystal like colour. Tomoyo stopped dead in her tracks. Even though she knew about Sakura's power, she still got a bit nervous whenever Sakura powered up without saying anything. Suddenly the Song and Illusion cards flew up and released their spirits as a Syaoran like figure appeared in front of them. "Just keep a low profile okay?" Sakura ordered the fake Syaoran. He nodded. "Sakura, what songs are we singing again? I forgot," asked a sweat dropping Naoko. "Touch, The Motown Song and Young Turks" she replied. "Ah.thanks Sakura" "Sakura, it's nearly time," said Eriol who was waiting outside the room. "Thanks Eriol, well Tomoyo, you ready?" asked Sakura. Tomoyo nodded. "Let's go," she said.
~On Stage~
"Now, please welcome to the show, for the first time, the Sapphire Blossoms!" said Bert.
(Fake Syaoran)
Blue, is the ocean in your eyes,
Blue is cool September skies, as a lonely waterfall.
Red, is the fire in your heart,
Or the passion of love that we make as the sunset is fading away.

The audience clapped as the music for the next song started.
(Sakura, Melin, Kai and Eriol)
Ooh, ooh, oh. (4x)
(All)
Bring over some of your old Motown records,
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go,
On the roof and listen to the Miracles,
Echo to the alley down below,
(Sakura)
Oh yeah,

Let's don't worry about the future or nothin' else,
'Cause just like the music's sayin', you gotta take chances,
Go ahead just do it, and trust yourself,

(Rita)

(Sakura, Melin, Kai and Eriol)

And step out on the roof!!

(Fade.)
Everyone clapped and whistled wildly. (A/N: I love that song! ^_______^ Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.)
(Fake Syaoran)
Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams.
He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this.
Patti packed her bags, left a note for her momma, she was just seventeen, There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.
(Kai)
They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited.
We got just one shot of life, let's take it while we're still not afraid.
Because life is so brief, and time is a thief, when you're undecided.
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.
(All)
Young hearts, be free, tonight! Time, is on, your side!
Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around;
Don't let 'em ever change your, point of view.
(Eriol)
Paradise was closed, so they headed for the coast in a blissful manner.
They took a two-room apartment that was jumping ev'ry night of the week.
Happiness was found in each other's arms, as expected, yeah,
Billy pierced his ears, drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh!
(All)
Young hearts, be free, tonight! Time, is on, your side!
Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around;
don't let 'em ever change your, point of view.
[Instrumental verse] (A/N: Whenever the Sapphire Blossoms are performing, there is a band there, playing the music for them, and sometimes when there are not enough people to play the instruments, Eriol or someone, who knows how to play it, will fill in their place as well as singing the song, hope that clears this problem up)
(All except Sakura)
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
(Sakura)
Young hearts, be free, tonight. Time, is on, on your side.
(Melin)
Billy wrote a letter back home to Patti's parents tryin' to explain.
He said we're both real sorry that it had to turn out this way.
But there ain't no point in talking when there's nobody list'ning, so we just ran away,
Patti gave birth to a ten-pound baby boy, yeah!
(All)
Young hearts, be free, tonight, time, is on, your side.
Young hearts, be free, tonight, time, is on, your side.
Young hearts, be free, tonight, time, in on, your side.
(Sakura sings this part while the others continue singing what's above)
Young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free
Time is on, time is on your side,
Time, time, time, time is on your side,
is on your side,
is on your side,
is on your side,
Young hearts, be free, tonight,
tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah.
Music continues then fades.
The audience claps and cheers as they take bows. "Please thanks the Sapphire Blossoms!" said Bert. They all head backstage and back to the hotel they now, and for the time begin, call home.
