The mist was deep and no one could be seen around, silence was absolute and shadows of trees danced with the wind.
Where am I? - Thought Sakura, -Am I alone? –Is anyone there!?- She screamed, but heard no answer.
Suddenly, she saw two strange shadows moving in a strange way, they were getting closer to her and she could hear a slow breath, and when the shadows stopped, they were beside Sakura.
She could feel their warm, the soft movement, the beating of her own heart. Then, she swallowed hard.
Who are you?- she asked; the shadows gave no more answer than pointing toward a place in the mist.
Are you..-But a light beam that came from the middle of the misty trees interrupted her question, and she saw for a moment a face she could recognize, but then more came, and one of them hit Sakura in the shoulder.
Ahhhhhh! She screamed, the pain was so deep, so... real; it was then when she heard her name.
Sakura....., Sakura......
Who is it? Where are you?
You must know the beginning, know it, for it holds the power.
What power? What are you talking about? I can't see you.
Sakura...Sakura!...Sakura!!! SAKURA!!!!!
Sakura woke up with Kero's screams.
-What is it, Kero? Why can't you let me dream?
-There're big things going on, first of all, some Sakura cards have been making appearance in public, second, most cards lost their colors, and third, Tomoyo, Meirin and Syaoran are back!!
-What!?, Why didn't you wake me up before?
-I tried, but you are such a sleepy head...
-Ok, whatever, let's clear things out, what do you mean cards are on the loose?
-Look from your window and you'll find out.
Sakura peeked out and almost felt from the big shock.
-There are flowers everywhere, and the presence of a Sakura card is strong, why didn't I feel it before?
-Because you were still sleepy, but don't worry, the only cards that have showed up are harmless, although they may rise a lot of confusion.
-Well, we'll talk about it later, but what about Tomoyo and Syaoran? Why are they back?
-Tomoyo is back because I called her to tell her the news on your cell phone, but I have no idea of what is HE doing here.
-Well, I'm pretty sure Tomoyo won't want to lose the chance of taping a thing like this, but what is going on?
-Sakura, look!
And she looked towards the place Kero was pointing out, which turned out to be where she kept the Sakura cards, but she couldn't believe what she was sawing, a Clow card was losing it's color like if it was being unpainted by an invisible brush.
It was the card of the Flower.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Syaoran and Meirin were unpacking at the old manor where they used to live while they were studying in Tomoeda.
-Syaoran,- said Meirin- why do you think the Clow cards are acting so weird?
-They are Sakura cards, remember? But I have no idea of what is happening.
-Can Kinomoto be doing this?
-I don't think it is her doing, but all probabilities are still uncertain.
Deep inside him, he knew that it was not her who did this, but he was still scared of what would he do when he meet her.
-Last time we saw each other... he started to say.
-Yes, what?
-Nothing, forget it.
-Awww, ok, but promise it wasn't important
-I swear.
-Well, I've got something important to tell you, Syaoran, and that is about Sakura and Tomoyo,
-What is it?
-They are here, in the front door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some time later the four of them were having tea, but none of them said a thing.
Suddenly Sakura asked:-Why did you came back?-
Syaoran was about to answer, when Meirin interrupted:-We saw Sakura cards in Hong Kong, so we immediately came here to see you and figure out what the problem was.
-And when Kero told me about it, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to see my beloved Sakura card captor- said Tomoyo eagerly.
Suddenly, Kero came out from Sakura's back pack and asked
-So what are you planning to do?-
Everyone was surprised, because even Sakura forgot about him.
-why don't we ask Yue? He might know something.- Said Sakura
-great idea- said Kero -but, where is he?-
