Chapter 1. "Sepia Days. "
Sakura
I stare at the abyss.. everything seems dark, then I feel something pulling me.. holding me.. not wanting to let me go.. The feeling felt really inviting.. I felt wanted. I wanted to stay like this forever..

Then suddenly, all I felt was pain..
intense pain..
in my head..
I tried to curl up and cover my ears to block out the horrible ringing, but it was no use..
Then I realized I was dreaming, so I opened my eyes.. to see Kero banging an alarm clock on my head!
"Oww!!! GEEZ! What a great way to wake me up!", I groaned.
No wonder my head was aching so much. He needs to pay... Dearly.
"Well you still kept snoring even when I was punching your face! And I got drool all over my hand too!" As he was screaming in my ear, I body slammed him against the wall and told him to shut up. And laughed when all he could say was "I – TAIIIII !!! (It hurts!) "
"Sorry, Kero.. I'm not sure if I wanna go to school today.." I said whining. "Well, you have to.. oh, and the reason why I woke you up was, I wanted to remind you to bring home LOTS AND LOTS of sweets for me from the Tomoeda school festival! Okay, okay. Now write this down Sakura.. I want the caramel puffs.. the chocolate swirly thingies that I saw you make yesterday and the.." he squealed. "Blah!! I should've known!" And I tackled him to the ground not caring how little he was. "Aaahhh!!! Okay, that's it Sakura! You HAVE to bring me with you..!!! PLEAASSEEE?!?!"
"NO!" .. "Aww.. ! Pfft fine! You just don't want me to see you and that idiot Syaoran have a date!!! Ahahaha!"
I wanted to say more but instead I just blushed and looked out the window and wondered how our day might go..
"Ew Sakura.. go take a bath before he'd smell you all the way up from your room haha! We wouldn't want him to stay away from you the whole day, eh?" He said grinning and chuckled to himself thinking he was on the roll ..
"No candy for you EVER!!! Take that!"
Then everything was silent..
"Okay.." I thought. "This sounds.. bad, REALLY bad.."
Then he suddenly screams and pushes me in the bathroom and tells me to take a bath, then I hear him put my clothes on the bed. I just smiled and shook my head and went ahead and took a bath and changed and went near the door to open it.. Then suddenly he zooms in near me before I could go out and closes it and makes me promise to bring him back some cake. I just laughed and said, "I will! Don't worry." He felt relieved and sighed as I went downstairs and the last thing I heard from him were very weird snorting sounds.
Geez, when it comes to food he goes crazy.
"Oh no!" I heard someone wail, "Look who's here.. it's that ugly little free loader, who very much looks like my weird psychotic sister!!"
"Shut up, Touya!" I said fuming and kicked him in the shins as hard as I could but he seems unaffected. "... hrm, feisty.. and weak too." Then I tried to aim for his stomach but then Dad told us to stop and eat breakfast.
Day after day it's always been like this. sigh
"So, Sakura.. another school festival eh? I can't believe it's already been a year." Dad asked hoping I'd calm down.
I love my Dad, he's always been a very good father. Too bad my stupid brother isn't in ANY way like him, I wonder if he was adopted.. "Yeah! And we'll be handling the Coffee Shoppé again! It'll be fun!" I said beaming.
"Okay dear, have fun!"
"I will Dad, bye! ...Bye Jerkface!" I said snickering.
After I put on my blades I skated out the door as fast as I could before my brother could eat me alive.
"Today will be good." I thought, "I can feel it."

Just as Sakura was on her way to school, the Sakura Cards started to glow.. and flickered.. flickered like the stars you see at night.. almost like they were going to disappear.. She skids out of control on the sidewalk and falls to the ground unconscious.
And started to dream..
Hmm.. dreaming, when she should be in pain.. Dreaming about that dark place again.. but so full of warmth.. it was.. strange. But not strange enough for Sakura to make her wake up from it. Instead.. her intense wanting made her dream of a world.. her very own world.. a world where she could do whatever she wanted to.
It was a world full of flowers, trees, and laughter. A typical world for a typical girl. She walks down the road to find a beautiful bench, with vines as it's support, and it's flowers for decoration. She sits alone, and wanted people.. so she dreams up of her friends.. her family.. her house.. and a house for her friends. And she was happy.
"Wow.. I never thought life could be so peaceful without the cards." She thought.
As she kept thinking.. how her life would be so much more normal if she didn't carry that much responsibility with her. A familiar figure stands before her.. and kneels and lifts up her chin to his.
It was Clow Reed.
"Oee? Clow-sama?" Sakura mutters that out of disbelief. "I don't think I.." He puts his finger on her mouth to stop her from saying anything more.
"I'll take your burden away from you.. Sakura.. All the things you want to protect.. will be safe forever. If you just let me take them from you. I think it's been hard, especially since you're just a girl." He says softly.
"I.. I don't know if I should."
"In exchange, I'll give you this world. I have the power to let you stay here forever."
