Sakura's mind flashed back to the kiss that they shared in the park. "Sometime soon Syao-kun." It was all she could say before she went into her room.

Li watched her disappear. "Sakura, what happened to you?"

Dark Heart 2- I wasn't really trying to get the same ideas as you. I think that you will just have to read to see if I really use one of your story line ideas.

L.P.B. - Did you really think that she would not use magic at all? She continued to speak telepathically even though she wasn't really trying to.

Moon Maiden 625- Don't worry I'll see to it that you get some clues as to what happened in this chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own them! I just have a lot of fun writing them!

Chapter 8

-Sakura's room-

"Sakura you'll have to find me. That is if you can," The voice cackled and taunted at the same time as walls rose all around her.

"What is this?" She yelled through the fog that was collecting steadily all around her.

"Sorry not telling. You're goal is to get to the castle at the end. You have five hours to get to your friends."" The haze only thickened around her.

"How am I supposed to find her when I can't even see?" Sakura muttered under her breath. She chanted her incantation to bring forth her wand. "Windy blow this fog away!" When everything cleared out she saw she was in a maze. She tried to use fly to get above the thing but that was in vain because she couldn't get any higher than the walls. There seemed to be a magical barrier that prevented anything like that.

Sakura had been walking around for a little while she found herself in front of a fairy. "Card mistress I'm here to help you." The little voice informed her.

"Help me how?" Sakura was surprised to see the creature. She hadn't seen any living creatures, insects included.

"Help you find your friends of course."

"Why would you help me?"

The magical world has been watching you for some time. We have great respect for you just as you have dangerous enemies. Most of us were watching you at the final judgment when Eriol revealed himself to you as Clow Reed." The little fairy flitted around not able to stay still.

"You were?" She was surprised at what she had just been told.

"Yes, I can answer questions for you but I can't tell you how to get there."

"Okay I at least need a name to call you." Sakura wasn't as suspicious of the flitting fairy anymore.

"Aideen." The little creature returned.

"Alright aideen since you can't tell me how to get through the maze the tell me about these walls. There seems to be no break in them." Sakura requested.

Sakura listened to the fairies description of the walls and came up with an idea. "Aideen stay back." She pulled out her wand. "Wood create a string of roots that will mess up this wall!"

Wood did exactly as it was told and managed to knock down the hard earthen type wall. They walked through the path that led to the staircase that had been revealed when the wall was knocked down. The whole in the ground seemed to what apparently the only bit of light coming through the underground tunnel.

There was a clock on the wall about fifty feet ahead of them that could only be seen because fiery lit the way on the torch that she was carrying.

"Well. It appears that you have gotten farther than I thought in the amount of time that I have given you. I think that I will take an hour off the clock. You like the maze?" he taunted before he disappeared leaving a ball of burning inferno blast pushing them through the halls. (Ones the fairy.)

"Aideen are you alright?" She asked. The little fairy lay still in her hand. "That's enough of this game of yours. You have no right to play with people's lives like you are doing! Water put out the fire! Windy blow the steam away." She ordered bother of her cards.

The voice continued to cackle. "You know it would be such a shame if you're little yellow stuffed animal of a guardian died without any food or water." The voice was becoming vicious.

Sakura was ready to slaughter the guy but knew that she was going to have to play his game. "Aideen I'll find a way to help all of us." She promised as she walked the way that the flaming inferno had pushed them. Sakura gently placed the fairy in her backpack that she usually had Kero in when she had to take him with her somewhere.

Sakura closed her eyes and stood there for a few moments. 'Where are you?' That was the only thing that she was thinking with her mind. She finally sensed a faint aura that she had been trying to get or at least one of them.

That way.' She started to run in that direction. 'I have to find them.' She found a bunch of stairs that were going every which way. Some of them were upside down others were right side up and none of them ever connected. This was worse than the maze! She had to fight off fogs, monsters, fires, and other stuff and she was getting tired. She wasn't used to going this long using magic as she had been doing. Finally she saw Tomoyo sleeping on one of the stairs. (Obviously I haven't typed up everything. That would take too long.)

"You seem to have passed every test that I have thrown your way except this." He reached his hand in the air somehow turning on the light with the twist of a hand. There seemed to be mirrors all over the place that were reflecting every which way. "Now you have to find the real people that you came here to save."

There were reflections of Tomoyo, Yukito/Yue, Touya, and Kero all over the place and some of them were doubled up somehow making it impossible to find them unless. She did just what she had done an hour before. (It's a large maze of a castle.)

"Oh and I forgot to tell you that you have fifteen minutes to find the proper person.

Sakura concentrated on what she was doing as she walked upside down steps and right side up steps. "What happens when I find them on time?" Sakura questioned.

"You should ask what happens if you don't find them on time." The man in white had appeared among the mirrors. His white hair was long and all messy looking.

"Alright what happens?" She conceded playing along.

"They all stay here and never leave again." The man informed her with mirth.

"I just found Tomoyo!" She announced out loud. She continued to do the same thing this time except this time she called out fly. She flew around sensing auras. She finally found Yukito she just had to find Kero now.

"You have 1 minute left!" The man was doing a countdown now. He wanted to see how fast she could find the sun guardian.

"I've found Kero and I have found you. Now why did you do this?" She floated to where he was.

"I've put a curse on them that will come out when the time is right and had some fun with you. You have far too many weaknesses. You're friends are merely one of them." The man disappeared with an evil laugh that sent chills up her spine.

Sometime later they all found themselves waking up on the grass in the penguin park. "We must have fallen asleep." Sakura whispered as she looked all around to see that they were all sleeping fairly soundly. Kero was muttering under his breath about having to eat more pudding. At that Sakura was sweat dropping.

Sakura looked in her backpack for some snacks because she knew that she would need them as soon as woke Kero to find an odd little shaped human with wings on them. "Aideen." She whispered as she gently took the little fairy out of her bag. She was flitting her wings all around. "You must be feeling better."

The little fairy nodded affirmative. "They are under a sleep spell. I will wake them as I pass by them. They will not remember anything that happened and they must never find out." The fairy warned and flitted to the woods that were nearby before Sakura's friends woke up.

Sakura sat up with a start in her bed. She hadn't had that dream or nightmare as she called it. "What does it mean?" She thought for a second. Her mind went back to yesterday morning when she and Li had been battling.

Sakura had almost completely let out her aura. Tomoyo had hollered, "Stop!" before freezing time. She stopped time but not the magicians all around her.

"That's why I am having this dream again. That is one of the curses that was given to Tomoyo." She whispered.

Sakura tried to lay back down but found that she couldn't sleep. The cards began to glow in her bag as they filed out one by one going in a circle around Sakura. They seemed to be whispering with worry about something.

-In Tomoyo's room-

'What are they going to do today? What do they have planned? Why do I feel this way? What did I do to deserve this? I like filming her!' Her mind ranted over and over.

"I can't sleep." She announced out loud. "I'm going for a walk." She stepped out the door but not before she looked at the clock. It was 3o'clock in the morning.

She could feel something in the air just as she had felt it yesterday morning. "Someone's training." She thought.

-Sakura-

Sakura had decided that it was time to get up and train. This was her normal time anyhow so it worked for her. There wouldn't be anyone else up. She hoped. The way her cards were acting at the moment is what worried her the most.

-Tomoyo-

She followed the hall to the gardens that led the the training grounds. What she saw surprised her. Eriol had taken off his glasses. 'He looks good without the glasses.' She kept that thought to herself. She watched in wonder as he had a whirling vortex of wind around the top of the staff.

"What is he doing?" She whispered.
