Season Four of Cardcaptors

It would be a dream come true for all Cardcaptor fans to have a season four of Cardcaptors! And we hate how Nelvana dubbed all the other seasons so I decided to write a fourth season. Hey we can all dream right? These stories are based more on CC than CCS but there are a few CCS moments in here. None of the characters belong to me they all belong CLAMP but this story is copyright!

Episode 1: A New Journey Is Just Beginning!

Prologue:

He had been awake all night, thinking. He had gone without rest or nourishment. He did not need them. He had to devise his plan, that was the only think that mattered. At dawn, he had once again summonded the Council of six telepathically. The session had been brief. He hadsimply informed them that the matter was in hand, that the project could not fail and that he would soon put it into execution. The council members had not dared to ask him what his plans were. They had complete faith in him. After all, he was their superior. He had called another meeting that noon and as he entered the room where the other councilors watched him, paralyzed by fear. Not one was bold enough to look him in the eye. He stood at the edge of the table and scanned all the councilors who were avioding his glance. He slammed his hands on the long table and glared impatiently at them.

"I've waited long enough! Does anybody havea plan or not?" He roared. Then the sound of moving chairs caught his attention and he eyes moved to his right to see two of the memebers standing up.

"We have a plan," one of them said. The master smiled wickedly and then pointed at a door behind him.

"Follow me."

Sakura was flying in front the radio tower. A tower with many memories of her Cardcaptor days. On top of the tower were two figures that she hadn't seen before. Looking at them she felt a strange aura and it really creeped her out. "Who are they? What do they want?" Sakura wondered. Suddenly both of them raised a tall staff in the air and suddenly Sakura saw herself falling from theskyand into a pit of darkness.

"RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ah!!" Sakura jumped off her bed and collapsed on her bedroom floor. Kero flew out of the drawer of Sakura's desk and floated in front of her.

"What happened? I haven't heard you scream in quite a while!" Kero said, chuckling. Sakura glared at him and sighed.

"I'm sorry I woke you up. It's just that..." Sakura stared at the floor. The dream really scared her. After she transformed all the cards into Star Cards everything was so normal. No more strange occurrences, nothing was out of the ordinary. Then comes this dream that could change Sakura's life... again. Kero always told Sakura that her dreams were visions and, well this was no exception.

"What is it?" Kero shouted, trying to get her attention. Sakura put a finger to her lips.

"Shush! Tori may know about you but my dad doesn't so you still have to lay low!" Sakura explained. Kero sighed and floating down and sat down in front of Sakura.

"Don't you think it's time you told him that magic runs in your family?" Kero asked, eyeing Sakura carefully.

"No way! You just want me to tell him so you can go to the fridge all the time, even when he's home!" Sakura replied, putting her hands on her hips. Kero stuttered for a second, knowing that Sakura was right for one reason.

"That's not it! Although that would be great... your father should know. He's a part of your family!" Kero explained thoughtfully. Sakura got up and walked around her room.

"Look Kero, it's not that I don't have the courage to tell him. It's just that I don't want him worrying all the time like Tori does. And now that Tori is certain that I'm involved with powerful magic that can be dangerous, every time I go out he asks me where I'm going. And lately it's getting annoying!"

"It's not his fault you know!" Kero shouted. Sakura stopped pacing around the room and stared at Kero. Never in a million years would he defend Tori, so what's this?

"After he gave his powers to Yue he hasn't been able to sense if you're in trouble anymore and it makes him worry so much more. Just still him that for now everything is calm and you're not up to anything." While Kero was talking Sakura was changing into her school uniform and then she sat on her bed and started brushing her hair. Kero floating in front of her and they were silent for a while.

"What is it? You're not answering," Kero said. Sakura put down her brush and closed her eyes. In her head she could see her dream repeat. She described the dream to Kero who looked stunned after she was finished.

"Oh Kero! What am I going to do? The last thing I want is to go through all the challenges I went through last year with the Star cards."

"Wait a minute. The last thing? You don't want to be involved with the cards anymore?" Kero asked, sounding angry and upset at the same time. Sakura looked up at him and for a moment they stared deeply into each other eyes.

"You know that's not what I meant." Sakura explained. Kero shook his head.

"I think that's exactly what you meant." Kero said. He flew out of Sakura's open window and out into the broad daylight. Instead of sticking her head out of the window and yelling at him to get back instead because someone might see him, she just sat there, almost breaking into tears. Sakura saw the look of disappoint in Kero's eyes just before he left and Sakura never wanted to see him like that ever again. Sakura then got up and pulled herself together and glanced at her clock.

It was almost time for school and for once she didn't want to be almost late. She quietly walked down the stairs, hoping that Tori and her dad weren't there to greet her because she wasn't in the mood to be preppy and they would probably get worried. Luckily nobody was downstairs and Sakura didn't fix herself breakfast because she lost her appetite. When she was outside, putting on her roller blades, she stared up at the sky and sighed.

Oh Kero, I hope your not getting yourself into any trouble.

As Sakura skated down the street she suddenly felt lonely and depressed. Kero and Sakura did have their share of fights but this time it was different. She almost and accidentally admitted that she regretted capturing and transforming the cards. And that would have meant admitting that meeting Kero and forming a friendship with him was a mistake as well. It's just that sometimes she wondered what her life would have been like without the cards. More normal and definitely not as pressuring. Now and for a while, she is the Mistress of the cards and she had to do everything in her power to protect and look after them. She never thought about it much before but the cards really depended on her and if she let them down... well she didn't want to think about how she would disappoint everyone.

It didn't take long for Sakura to reach school but she was surprised to find the field deserted.

Oh, no! What if I'm so late that school has already started? Sakura thought. No! That can't be... because then I would have heard the bell. Sakura started walking towards the front doors when she felt a strange presence near by.

She skated around the corner and saw a boy in a school uniform, arguing with a woman that was dressed like a teacher.

"This is never going to work! I look so stupid!" The boy complained. The woman straightened out her skirt and then answered the boy.

"We told master it would work and he trusted us with this mission. Listen, if you're going to go to this school you have to look the part! I should be the one that's complaining! Teachers have no sense of style!"

So she is a teacher... the boy and her must be new. What's thismission of theirs? Sakura thought.

"Are you sure everything will work out?" The boy asked. The woman grinned.

"Trust me, the plan is flawless!" The woman exclaimed proudly. Sakura leaned in closer, hoping those two unfamiliar people would expose their plan. Although as Sakura moved closer she lost control of her roller blades and stumbled to the ground.

"Did you hear that?" The boy exclaimed. Sakura panicked and raced into the school before the two people would discover she was eavesdropping. The two people walked around to where Sakura was and the woman crossed her arms.

"That little brat. Next time we have to be more careful," the woman grumbled. The boy nodded and looked up at the clock tower connected to the school.

"It's almost time..."

Sakura lost her breath as she dashed into the school. She leaned against her locker and calmed her beating heart.

"That was close!" Sakura exclaimed.

When Sakura finished changing her shoes she entered the classroom and noticed nobody was there.

"I know it's my first day of school but I'm sure this is the right class!" Sakura thought out loud.

"Your right." A voice said. Sakura looked at the front of the classroom and saw Li cleaning the blackboard. Li turned around and Sakura saw his face for the first time in a long time. Over the summer he got taller and looked a lot older and mature. Without looking at Sakura, Li pointed to the clock at the back of the room and said, "You're an hour early"

"Li!" Sakura ran over to the front of the classroom and wrapped her arms around Li's neck. "I can't believe you came back to Reedington!" Li turned red and was sinking in Sakura's arms.

"I can't breathe..." he choked out. Sakura giggled and let him go. Li collapsed to the floor and Sakura kneeled down and grinned.

"Sorry! I was just so happy to see you! Did you come back for a visit?" Sakura asked. Li was rubbing is neck and got back up to finish cleaning the blackboard.

"Mother sent me here because she felt strange forces in the area and she wanted me to see what was going on. Has anything unusual happened lately?" Li asked. Sakura got up as well and didn't even need time to think.

"No, nothing but last night I had an unusual dream about to figures on the radio tower. I've never seen them before and they both had tall staffs and in the end they summoned their staffs and I started falling into darkness," Sakura explained. She shuddered remembering how frightened she was when she saw herself helplessly falling from the air.

"Your dreams are visions, so this one is bound to come true. Have you been sensing anything strange?" Li demanded to know. Sakura shook her head.

"No, but I've been so distracted over the summer with homework and my friends that even if there was a strange force I wouldn't have felt anything," Sakura explained. Li nodded and obviously understood that Sakura must have been busy. That made Sakura smile. She was happy to know that he understood. Li picked up a dozen flowers that he picked from the yard from the teacher's desk and started walking towards the back of the class. Sakura quickly jumped in front of him and offered to take the flowers and place them on the vase for him. Li stood there blankly, still in shock about how fast Sakura jumped.

"I...um..." Was all that he could blurt out. Sakura smiled and took that for a yes. She took the flowers and skipped to the back of the classroom. When she carefully placed the flowers on the vase she looked up at the clock and watched the arm tick clockwise. She sighed.

I can't believe I woke so early. Something must have been wrong with my clock, I'll check it tonight.

"Um, Sakura?" Li called out. Sakura turned around and saw Li staring at the ground.

"There's something I need to talk to you about..." he started. Sakura eyes sparkled.

I wonder if he will say...
