Disclaimer: I do not own CCS (although I wish I did) and I do not own the movie 'Little Ghost' but I do own this story so lay off and don't sue because I have a better lawyer then you...I hope.

a/n well here is the next chapter. I'll tell you now that this is a pancake chapter a.k.a Fluff, need I say more. So feel free to read on and of course review! They make me so happy and make me want to write faster, so now you have an even better reason to review, put a smile on my face!

Tomoyo, Syaoran and Meiling watched the men in their garden from the balcony. Syaoran could feel the excitement flowing through his blood, he had trained and studied all his life to feel the joyful rush of his ancestry, giving birth to his own 'fire.' Meiling looked at Syaoran.

"Syaoran? What's wrong? You look…strange." Meiling cocked her eyebrow, tilting her head to the side quizzically.

"A Clow card." Meiling gasped while Tomoyo turned to her friends with a gasp.

*oh no, they truly do know of the Clow cards! I thought they would have taken it as a legend, not in truth.*

Tomoyo quickly dashed away towards one of the secret passages.

*No, they can't find out, they mustn't!*

She ran faster and faster down the twisted dark corridors, only to bump into Syaoran and Meiling. They were both wearing the most bizarre outfits she had ever seen, not to mention she could add more touch-ups and accessories. Syaoran was wearing green robes and Meiling was wearing a red and white battle outfit. Tomoyo's eyes travelled to Syaoran's sword, making them widen in fear. She felt her brow begin to sweat and her palms grow clammy. She felt the cool moisture between her fingers which she quickly rubber against her Komono.

"What are you doing here?" Tomoyo asked forgetting about Syaorans sword.

"We were going to ask you the same question, Daidujii." Meiling crossed her arms triumphantly. Syaoran only grunted.

"I was going around the castle to the, the…garden! Yes the garden because I err umm." Tomoyo bit her lip in thought. "Because I wanted to pick some flowers, yah that's right I needed some flowers for my mother." Tomoyo played with her Komono nervously trying not to look them in the eye.

"Sorry Daidujii, wrong answer." Syaoran made his way carefully towards the nervous girl. He tapped her shoulder making her look at him.

"Daidujii, do not lie to me. If you wanted to go to the garden then why did you not take the stares on the balcony. Besides I don't think Meiling is fat enough to hide them from plain site." Syaoran gave her a secret smirk making her relax and giggle about the mental image of a fat Meiling who can't clime stares.

"LI SYAORAN!!!!!!! You take that back or you'll get an ear full from ME!!!!!! You'll regret that, you know what you're so immature!" Syaoran already regretted that, until they herd screaming coming from outside.

The walls shook violently knocking everyone off their feat. Tomoyo and Meiling 'conveniently' landed on top of Syaoran.

" Argh! Get off…of…ME!" both girls horridly removed themselves of anymore unnecessary body contact.

"See Syaoran that little ghost new she couldn't have you, so she had to get her little friend to fall an top of you." She started nodding her head in a matter of fact notion.

"Syaoran, you better watch your back, especially from SAKURA! Grrr, I new from the start she was nothing but a dead cherry blossom, probably still withering from-"

"Meiling." Syaoran spoke calmly.

"Yes Syaoran." She looked at him intently.

"Will you SHUT-UP! Kami you're driving me up the wall!" Syaoran was red and fuming, not a goon combination. Meiling backed off, in fear of Syaoran using his elemental cards on her. Tomoyo stood there on sure of what to do.

"Umm, guys? I think it would be a good idea to go out and see what Sakura, must have done." Tomoyo's eyes were closed as she smiled unsurely at the two bickering relatives. The others shot each other cold glares and padded towards Tomoyo. They ran towards the garden to see, all the men running from this huge monster. It had snakes for hair and burning eyes. It was enormous at least 5 stories high. Meiling screamed and held on to Syaorans arm.

"Make it stop! Syaoran, make it stop!" Syaoran ignored Meiling and looked at Tomoyo who was smirking strangely. It sent chills down his spine. The creature in the garden smashed all the equipment, by now all the men had disappeared except for the idiot who Sakura flipped upside down, earlier.

"Stay back! I've…Ive got a, a stick, yah, so you better, you better run, or feel the wrath of the mighty stick! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"

"Poor guy, he seems to be going insane."

"Tomoyo, he is insane." Tomoyo turned to see Sakura standing behind her. Sakura had once again changed and was wearing a purple dress with navy blue lining. It even had a cloak that matched and a hat with strange jewels of importance on it.

"Oh Sakura-chan, you're wearing the dress I made you for your birthday last year!" Tomoyo went all starry eyed, then she suddenly scowled. "Oh NOOOO! I forgot my camera! Oh kami forgive me!" Everyone sweat dropped and fell over anime style, except for Sakura who was sweating and smiling nervously at her friends distress of not having her camera handy. Syaoran and Meiling quickly regained their composer.

"Sakura you're the card mistress?" Syaoran stared at her unwillingly, he couldn't believe it, it was, impossible! Sakura blushed and nodded.

"GRRRRRrrrrr, you can't be, you are not bound to the Li clan blood." Syaoran clutched his sword. He knew it wouldn't do him any good to attack her, but this was impossible. He was actually beginning to like her, and now she had to posses the cards, why didn't she tell him, wasn't he trustworthy?

"Syaoran, are you ok?" Sakura stepped towards him.

"NO I'M NOT OK!" Syaoran yelled in his fury. "Sakura do you know what you're dealing with, with the Clow Cards?"

"Up course I do, I've owned them for over 300 years." she smiled sheepishly.

Syaorans fury quickly left him. His eyebrows drew back and he stood up straight. "Then you really are the card Mistress." he let go of his sword and swung it back onto his back. Meiling and Tomoyo wanted to say something, but they new they couldn't.

Syaoran looked up into her crystal clear emerald eyes. "it's not fare." he spoke at last. "if an immortal ghost posses the cards, then what was all the point in training? What was the point in not leading a normal life, this means I've been living a LIE!" Syaorans fist made contact with the wall, making a small dent, cracking at the edges. He could feel his tears threatening to swallow him. He turned and ran away.

"SYAORAN!!!!!!!" Meiling yelled and tried to dash after him, but Tomoyo cut her by the back of her collar, effectively restraining her.

"That means I've been living a lie too." Meiling fell to the ground on her knees and wept into them. "It's not fare, that means I could have made Syaoran really notice me!" poor typical Meiling. Tomoyo put a comforting hand on Meiling, and Sakura stared at the spot were Syaoran had been standing. His words echoing through her head. *I've been living a lie…I could have had a normal life…* Sakura closed her eyes and let a tear slide down her cheek. "I'm sorry Syaoran…" Sakura whispered. "I'm so sorry."

Syaoran was sitting in his room. He wasted his entire life and for what. He tossed his sword to the side of the room. He was expecting to here a thump, but instead he felt a cold gust of wind surrounded the room and settle down lightly with a single cheery blossom petal on his nose. His eyes went cross eyed as they settled onto the cheery blossom and diverted to Sakura who stood shyly across the room. She once again was in a new outfit (probably thanks to Tomoyo =^-^=). It seemed to be a cross between a pale pink night gown and ballet outfit. It fell slightly past her knees and seemed to be made of a material that wavered around her gracefully, she was wearing slippers that resembled ballet slippers (but likely to be more comfortable). Her hair was tied in it's usual fashion, only with pink bows in it, rather then her red elastics.

"Syaoran?" Sakura took an uneasy step towards him. Syaoran only turned his back on her. He felt the bed ease as she sat next to him. Her arms came around his shoulders into a tight hug. He could feel her warm tears on his shoulder and he could feel his cheeks getting red hot.

"Sakura, you now very well I HATE hugs, even from a ghost." Sakura pulled away to see him smiling. "then you're ok?"

"No, why do you have the Clow Cards and I don't"

"Then it's time I tell you the story."

********************

Sakura, Syaoran, Meiling and Tomoyo sat in a secret room. Torches lit the room, and it had a cherry would table where they could easily sit on. There was a small chest at the side and cheese cake for everyone on the table.

"Alright are you all ready." Everyone nodded through there mouthfuls of cheesecake.

Sakura smiled and closed her eyes to ready herself for the story.

"It was during a huge war between the Li family. Members were jalousie as to who would have the Clow Cards. Clow Read tried to make peace for he remained neutral from the war. But everyone turned against him. I was his daughter so I had to come too. Everyone's hatred for each other grew to the point they were blood thirsty. The battle took place in this vary castle. It was magic against magic, power against power and life against life. There was so much blood shed on these walls that Clow himself grew restless. He came out in front of the walls and performed one of the most complicated spells. He gathered everyone's hatred and turned it into a great monstrous spirit. It was the 53rd Clow Card, it was named 'Hate Card' I was the only one with the sealing wand, so when I went to seal it…I…I…I couldn't handle it." Sakura looked down tears falling down as she started to cry. "It was so evil…so evil..that it took my…my…" her voice borke and cracked against the words, "it took me away…forever from the ones eye loved, I lost everything that day…" Sakura broke down and started to cry. Tomoyo patted her friends back and rubbed the tears of with a cloth.

"Then,,,then why are you still here?" Meiling asked who too had tears in her eyes.

"I'm here because I must protect the castle and not let more danger come to it. Or the creature will be released and if the castle falls I…I…" she didn't have to finish. Everyone was silent.

Sakura got up and disappeared in her own way. Everyone didn't know how to react.

"oh kami…" Meiling muttered. Syaoran felt terrible, he got up and left the room.

Tomoyo and Meiling looked at the door he left to and decided it best that way.

Syaoran ran towards the court yard and saw her sitting in her Cherry blossom tree.

"Why do you sit here often, is it your favourite tree or something?"

"It should be, I planted it here over 300 years ago." She smiled obviously feeling better.

Umm Sakura…"

"Yes"

"I'm sorry about earlier." Syaoran looked down ashamed.

"It's ok, you didn't know and it wasn't you're fault." Sakura looked at him. Syaoran blushed and took his hand from behind his back where he concealed his flowers for her.

"Here, these are for you." Sakura blushed intensely, and took the flowers.

"Oh, Syaoran, they're beautiful! Where did you get them from."

"Oh, here and there." Syaoran blushed and thought of the trouble he would be in if his mom found out he stole them from her favourite garden on his way here. *Please let her not notice…if there's a God up there please don't let her notice!*

Sakura smiled and smelled the flowers.

"Well it's getting late, we should go to bed, besides I'm going to need your help tomorrow with coming up with a little idea."

"And what does your little idea involve?"

"Guess you'll have to see tomorrow." Sakura giggled and disappeared. Syaoran smirked ad started walking. Un known to him someone was watching him. Suddenly a vine ripped up making him trip and fall flat on his already red face.

~In heaven: Touya: "YES! Ha! Ha! Stupid gaki from china thought he could get away with keeping MY sword! YES! Stupid gaki embarrassed now!" stands stupidly while laughing at his immature prank. Heavenly angels decide not to ask. Ummm, Touya, maybe you should get therapy, I'll schedule you with an appointment with God next week." Touya face faults. "Are you crazy! I am more sane then you, you pompous, halo wearing cross dresser!" "I better make that, tomorrow, by the way I wouldn't talk, you up course have seen the halo on your head and the white robes you wear, or have you gone blind." Touya yells "oh I get it! You waited tell I fell asleep didn't you, and then dressed me up in this, you hentai…." Angel quickly runs away, "I'm telling God on you!"

"What! you can't do this to me I'm Invincible, no one controls me!" Suddenly a bright light appears and a deep voice says, "Touya, what were you saying about 'control.?'"

"Ummm…Hi big man…I mean boss…I mean a, Lord?" smiles nervously~

Back at the castle everyone's asleep soundly, except Syaoran, who's nursing the bump on his head. But un-known to everyone something dark stirs underneath the palace…something, evil.
