Sakura woke up on the ground from a light sleep. Lying on the ground Sakura looked around to see where she was. She saw that she was in a garden. It had a small river flowing by her feet, and Banzil trees that were the most beautiful ones she had ever seen. There was a small stone statue that looked like a home for spirits.

Now getting on her feet, Sakura looked up into the sky. She now noticed that it was very dark out.

"When did it become dark out? It was morning when I was with Tomoyo at the King Penguin Park... Oh Tomoyo! I forgot about the lamp post!" Sakura said. "I wonder where she is?" Sakura said out into the night sky.

I feel as if I need to call out to her, but there is something inside me that's telling me not to. I think if I walk around that maybe I can find some answers. But is that safe to do? I have no clue were or what this place is.

"Oh who cares if it's safe or not? Tomoyo needs me." Sakura said, finally making up her mind. "But I wonder where I should start?"

Looking around, Sakura once again saw the small river.

"I guess I should follow it. Maybe I'll find Tomoyo or at least someone to tell me where I am."

Sakura started out on the river path. She had walked along this path for about twenty minutes. "Where the hell is someone?! I'm getting tired." Sakura said with a moan. When she finished saying that, there was a loud crack of thunder, and green lighting that followed it.

Sakura got up with a start and ran under a tree. "What the hell was that? I felt as if my heart was going to stop!." Then looking up into the night sky, Sakura felt a small drop of cold water hitting her forehead. Little by little more began to fall.

"Great, now it's raining. It can't get any worse than this."

Bending down, Sakura put her head between her knees and started to cry. The tears kept falling as did the rain. For a moment Sakura stopped crying and got up. "Damn this rain!" she yelled out before she reached into her T-shirt.

"The Key which hides the powers of the Stars, Show your true form before me! I , Sakura, command you under our contract! RELEASE!"

However the star key didn't release. "What?! What's going on?"

Sakura was once again crouched down on the ground crying.

At the top of the tree, the one where Sakura was crying, a voice came to her. "How long can one girl cry for?"

"Who's there?" Sakura asked as she got up in shock.

"Look up, then you'll find me." The voice said.

Sakura did what the voice said. She saw it her great surprise there sitting in the tree was the girl that Sakura had ran into in the park. "It's you?! Who?! What?! When?! Why?!" Sakura asked with great confusion. "Well the who could be you, then the what is me here in this tree, the when is right now and the why could be the person who brought you two into this dimension prison." the girl said as she was trying to stay in the tree. Giving up she jumped down from the top. "I wish I could sit in trees as long as my little bro could, but other than that, does that answer your four questions?"

"Well I guess so..." Sakura said as her voice got louder. "But you know I have, a hundred more to ask you."

"Well first I think we need to get out of this world. It could get a liitle ugly her." The girl said.

"I can't leave Tomoyo here!! "Sakura cried out.

Bending her head down, and with a heave, Sakura heard the girl speak. "I didn't say now. I meant later, but we need to find her and haul our asses out of here, and find your friend before Hotaru does."

"Are you going to help me find her, and who is Hotaru?" Sakura asked.

"I will help you find her. However I will not tell you who Hotaru is now it is a long story. Just to tell you whatever you do and whatever happens, do not and I MEAN do not use your magic. I stopped you the first time it could have been bad if I did not stop you she would have come and take you for herself. I'm so glad that I stopped you, I don't know how I could ever tell little bro, and you could kiss finding your friend good-bye."the girl said as she pulled out something from under her skirt.

"You stopped me from summoning my seal? But how?" Sakura asked, even more confused.

"It's a level of magic that you may never get to." She answered.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked, feeling her head throb from everything.

"Do you want to find your friend or not?" the girl yelled, making Sakura jump in shock. When she saw Sakura nod the girl took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "Okay then just stop asking me questions will ya? I need to think." The girl said in a less but not by much of a yell. The object that she had puled out from her skirt was a thing that looked like a compass. Taking a long breath, Sakura watched mystified at the girl chanting.

"I am the spirit of the earth. The power which I command show the spirit of nature inside the one I wish to find."

The compass started to spin around and pointed to where the river was flowing.

"You know magic?" Sakura asked in amazement.

"Dear Sakura you are not the only magician in the world ." the girl answered. "Now lets begin. Follow the green light and don't stray too far behind, and if you use your magic I will kill you."

The two girls started to walk. The green light flowed up the river path. "I know you don't won't to hear anymore questions but... can I ask you what your name is?"

Smiling, the girl stopped and turned to look at Sakura. "I can answer that." She said. "Now the author can stop calling me 'that girl'. My name is Daneko."

"That's a weird name." Sakura said.

"You'd think so." Daneko said with a little chuckle.

"But I'm happy you told me." Sakura said.

"Well when you find your friend I'll answer your questions and tell you more about me as well." Daneko said as she wend under a branch.

"Okay you look like an interesting person." Sakura said as she followed Daneko's movements.

Daneko stopped abruptly. Sakura who wasn't paying any attention, ran into the back of Daneko.

"Sakura no matter what happens, don't use magic, and don't scream." Daneko said with stern urgency as she looked down at her compass. The green light had disappeared.

"What's going to happen now?" Sakura asked in a small whisper that was so quiet that you could barely hear it.

"Sakura you might see things that aren't real, so keep still and don't make any sudden movements." Daneko ordered as she turned around again to face Sakura. "When we walk up this hill we will be at Hotaru Prison. If we do have to use magic I will use mine. Hotaru can not use my magic as her power. So shall we begin to walk Sakura up this evil looking hill.?" Daneko asked.

Sakura nodded her head and began to follow Daneko up the hill in silence.

I hate hills. Daneko said

AN: It has been a long time since I updated, and if you read my story I feel really bad. Last time It took me so long to write my chapter was because I went with my class to New York, but this time I have been being a convention whore. I went to Otakon, Anime Weekend Atlanta, and Animazement. I have been very busy. They were a lot of fun. I cosplay as Kagome from Inuyasha, and I will tell you something being a school girl has have a lot of weird stuff associated with it. Like people asking to rub my feet. I think that man had a foot fetish. In the next chapter I will have more action in it . Well I hope to have my next chapter up sooner then the last one. I send out a special THANK YOU to my good buddy Yayoi Sakuma. She helped me edit and type this chapter. Like you already know I have issues will spelling and typing. Hopefully she will keeping on helping me. Thank you for reading I hoped you like it and please review. It will be helpful to hear your feed back.
