Chapter 1:

With Our Lives (Part 1) ...

"Tomoyo, promise me... no matter what happens... you must go on, live on... without me...or Li...."

"What do you mean?"

"Promise me!"

"Demo..."

"Promise me!"

"I...promise..."

Tomoyo saw her friend smile. It was a soft yet sad smile but her emerald eyes shone with hope. Tomoyo saw Sakura touch her chest with both hands crossed over it and slowly closed her eyes. Suddenly, a bright glow of light appeared from within Sakura and it seems to be making its way out of Sakura. The light was shinning with a soft glimmer of gold and it slowly formed itself into a beautiful orb.

Tomoyo was awestruck with what she had seen. Her intuition was urging her to get her video camera to catch all of this on tape. However, she stayed there. She did not know why. It was as though as she knew she need to stay and not be rushing of to get her video camera.

When the orb was completely formed, Sakura released her hands from it. She gazed hard on the ball of light. Tomoyo watched it with surprised as it slowly made its way to her. Finally, it reached her and absorbed itself into Tomoyo.

Taken by complete surprise, Tomoyo was suddenly felt warm. However, it was just for a short while. The shinning orb had gone and Tomoyo found out that in its place was a beautiful necklace with an orb just like the one just now, only smaller and it had lost the glow, beautifully formed and was hanging on her neck.

She looked at her friend, Sakura with a questioning glance. However the next thing surprised her the most of all. Sakura took out a book, opened it and took out all its contents, which were cards, magical cards to be precise. She handed out every one of them to Tomoyo.

"Why..." She wanted to ask...

"Keep this for me OK? I...I...have to go now........."

"Sakura..."

Sakura did not look back as she walked out of Tomoyo's room. She felt her tears slide down, reaching her cheeks but hurriedly rub it off. Tomoyo called her name again. She stopped but decided to go on once more. Outside of the Daidouji mansion, a brown colored hair man with amber eyes stood waiting. He saw Sakura and went to her. He could see that she was sad. He was too. He hugged her, trying to console his dearest woman the best he could.

However, both of them knew it had to be done. There was no other way. The Sakura Cards cannot fall into the hands of those 'monsters'. The Mistress and Master of the cards will die tonight with or without the cards. Their enemy was powerful and they could only buy time... with their lives...
