Disclaimer: Sorry I took so long to update! I've been really busy. Don't own it. On with the story.





Sakura grew closer to the soccer field. She could see Syaoran with his hands above his face. Suddenly, she broke into a run. Finally, she reached the field.

Syaoran was grinning as she ran up to him and put a big wet one right on his lips. The soccer team, excluding Kazul, all being immature, started to hoot and clap, shouting things like, "Go Li!" "Yeah man!"

Meanwhile, Kazul broke out in a cold sweat. And it wasn't because Sakura really was going out with Syaoran. 'No! This-This-This can't be happening! Why didn't I sense her or him? And-And-And, I wanted to be free! I don't want to be owned!' Kazul thought.

'YOU HAVE A TASK TO COMPLETE!' Boomed the warning from the unknown source. It was right, of course. It always is. He had grown used to it over the years, reminding him, telling him, and warning him of his duties to his unknown mistress.

Steeling himself to do it, he approached the embracing couple as they started away. "Wait!" He shouted. Syaoran and Sakura turned around, Sakura confused, and Syaoran scowling.

"What is it?" Syaoran snapped. Taking on a cool demeanor, Kazul made himself ask,

"Are you the Card Mistress and Master? You must be, unless that necklace is stolen." He pointed to the Key.

"H-H-How did you know?" Sakura stuttered nervously.

"I am a card." Two un-stifled gasps greeted him.

"I thought Sakura captured all the cards! What the heck?" Syaoran shouted at him.

"I am not a Clow or Sakura card. I am a special kind of Card. I am a Trib Card. I was created by the card named The Tribulation but you know her better as Sirena. (This is kind of going to be the sequel to 'Turbulence In My Heart'. See that story for better references on Sirena. You don't have to read that to get this one though. Sorry for changing it, Sarah!) I am The Messenger."

He was met with more gasps. Sakura and Syaoran still remembered the unpleasant experience with Sirena. She caused a lot of trouble, almost taking both of their lives. "But why are you here?"

"To take you someplace." Kazul's appearance changed, his card form came out. He was pale, almost white. His hair was very black and his eyes were a blank silver. He was wearing an odd costume, almost like what Hermes would look like. His sandals had wings on them and he carried a glaive.

With a quick twirl of the glaive, a small portal appeared. "Follow me." Obediently, the followed him into it. "Hold on and tightly as you can and whatever the reason, _don't_ let_ go_!"

Sakura clutched Syaoran's hand and Syaoran wrapped an arm around her waist(Don't ask me how he can do it!), whispering sweet nothings in her ear to calm her down.

"I can follow you no farther. Against my orders, I wish you good luck." 'Kazul' stepped out of the portal and with another wave of the glaive, the portal closed.

Instantly, the portal grew unbearably bright. They couldn't close their eyes and wanted to let go of each other's hands but Kazul's warning rang clear in their minds. Almost as suddenly as it came, it disappeared. The tunnel/portal now filled with pictures of loved ones being tortured, abused, killed, and many things to gruesome to mention.

Finally it was over. They hadn't let go. Sakura and Syaoran landed with a thump on dry ground. So dry that it was like desert. A thing was waiting for them.

"What are you?" Sakura asked.

"I am another Trib Card. You must battle me to gain life, for I am the Life."

"Why would Sirena create a _nice_ card? She's evil!" Syaoran exclaimed.

"Oh, my name is The Life but that is an oxymoron. I do quite the contrary. I suck all life from anything, almost like The Void Card." The Life was a small critter. I looked a little like a bunny, only its ears were smaller and it walked on to legs. Cute was the only word to describe it.

"Now we do battle. You may only use the Trib Cards you have captured so far. You may find that your little Sakura Cards are all black, which is only a temporary spell. It will go away after you leave."

"But I don't have any Trib Cards!"

"Precisely."





Evil, aren't I? I'll get another chapter up soon, I hope. Sorry for the wait. If you want me to e-mail you when I update, then leave a valid e-mail because sometimes I try to e-mail people about updates and the e-mail comes back. R&R please! Jesus Freak signing out!^_~!
