Chapter Five The Other Me

To keep a secret it takes your whole energy and strength. It's like a never ending pain that you have to keep forever and for as much as you want it to go away it'll be with you always. Just from a secret your life can be horrible maybe even a living hell. The pain is so strong that you can even go up to the point of hurting yourself. But you don't know what's on the other side so you'll have to live your hell on Earth. Life itself is one complicated rule we all have to go through. But not everyone's life is the same. Some maybe perfect then you lose someone, others maybe horrible but at the end they find happiness. But for others it just never ends. Every step and turn you take there are only memories of the past. Each flame comes back to haunt you.

It's weird how she saw the memory of Darius's. His mother was really beautiful and those were wise words she had told him. And the unwise words Sakura herself had blown in his face.
Hidden, she had said to him. She had no right to demand what was not of her concern. But he was her concern. In fact why must he have to keep everything to himself? Always looking cheerful on the outside and always hiding everything in the inside. But at least he showed some emotion even though inside he was something else. Unlike Syaoran on the other hand who didn't show no emotion whatsoever. He doesn't show happiness nor sadness. Nor joy of pain. Only on the rarest moments did he show a bit of affection. Especially over his cousin. Syaoran's behavior was easy to know the cause of it. Though it was because of her he had to train in China. He didn't even have his own childhood. And she felt like it was all her fault.

" Kaijou! Wake up!" Touya called from downstairs.

Though he didn't know she was awake since midnight and didn't have much of sleep Sakura took her alarm clock and threw it on the floor just incase he had to come up stairs to check on her.
Some things are not meant for him to know. The flying teddy bear was still in his small bed cuddling and dreaming about cupcakes. But unlike her she couldn't dream of anything. The only images she had in her mind were her Mother and Kei's. Also Jeska was in her mind a lot lately.
There was such loneliness inside of her. She still hadn't known much about her she kept herself very distant, she had no right to judge her. But the thing that came up to her the most was the thought of the Egyptian Amaya cards. There was just this deep fear inside of her that made her get really scared. They seemed very dangerous and for one thing she had learned from Kero is to never mess with ancient Magic. Especially with Egyptian magic. But it was her responsibility, her job. She checked her hip to see if it were healing at least. And it was. Though the scar would stay with her forever. She was so afraid back then too. She almost lost her life and if it wasn't for Syaoran that came in time she would have been dead. But what then? What about everyone else, would Syaoran have to take over her job of Card Captor? Or would have everything just have ended just like that in a snap of a finger? To her, death didn't seem the answer but still she didn't want to deal with everything that her past had mistakenly done. But her thoughts were interrupted by the creak of her room door opening. It was Toya. He came in her room and stood there looking at her. "What?" Sakura asked.

"What's wrong with you? Why haven't you slept the whole night?"

How could he know? How? Why did he always outsmart her? "How did you know?"

"For one you didn't scream 'Hoee' this morning, second you have no energy to even talk, and third you just admitted smart one."

"Figures.." Sakura whispered under her breath. Her brother knew her to well. But he didn't say much and left the room leaving her alone. Just a few seconds passed and she jumped out of the bed. If she was going to do something right she could at least go to school. She needed to stop being a coward and accept her responsibility.

She didn't know what was wrong with her but lately she didn't care about anything and all she did was sit on her bed. not really thinking about anything or feeling anything. She puts on her uniform and looked into the mirror.

Who was that person starring right back at her?

The figure in front of her looker just like her only pale.

Who is she, and what has she done to me?

The girl in the mirror grabbed Sakura's arm and pulled her in.

"Don't be afraid", she whispered, "I am only you." As Sakura entered to the other side of the mirror, she entered a different reality. She could see nothing because of the fact she could only see black. In front of her was the figure that was there before. She was just like her only the girl had her hair tied up, her clothes were all black and silver jewelry all over her wrists and neck, and ears. Sakura was trying to recap of everything that just happened. Was her mind playing tricks on her, how could she have passed right through the mirror? Where exactly was she? "How can this be, how can there be another me?"

"Of course there can be another you" the girl responded, "With out me your unbalanced, without me there wouldn't even be a you." The girl got closer to her and placed her hands upon her face "
We are in your inner self."

"My inner self?" Sakura repeated.

"Yes and my name is Kyoto"

" Is it because of you I've been feeling like this? Feeling so empty inside. I can't feel nothing I feel so emotionless." Kyoto shook her head. "No, it's not because of me I've always been here. Your in for a secret.
Every time you capture a card let's just say it has it' s own side effect. You have just captured the Missing. And your still suffering from the side effect of the Mau. The Mau lowered you self esteem making you feel like a coward. The Fear made you feel more afraid made you feel wounded, And for the last card The Missing has made you lose control of your own emotions. It has affected your inner self. Making me more dominant. But don't worry it's not permanent. As long as you discover yourself. If you discover your thoughts within the corner of your mind. Only by this little sacrifice will you have the full authority to claim the Cards your. Only then will you truly be proven to rightfully be called the Mistress of the cards."

Corners of my mind? Nothing made sense. "Will I ever see you again?"

Kyoto placed her hand into Sakura's and gazed into her eyes. " If you ever want to see me again then I suggest you finding the meaning of my name." She disappeared and with a blink of an eye.
Sakura found herself back in her room. She checked herself in the mirror again but she saw no reflection. She didn't see herself. "Find myself?" She wondered. What exactly was that supposed to mean. She joined her hands and noticed that Kyoto had left something in her hand. Carefully she looked what was on her hand and saw the most beautiful necklace she had ever seen. It had the most beautiful emerald gem that blended with her eyes. The design was unique with swirls of silver dancing around the gem. Though the chain was a very thin and delicate silver. But if you looked very closely at the gem you could see glowing stars and cherry blossom petals dancing about. "A gift for me" Sakura heard Kyoto whisper in her mind. Didn't matter for now, what mattered was that she was late for school again.

As she came to her math class she scanned for her seat. "Kinomoto, late again!" The Sensie yelled. Sakura just took a quick glance at her and walked right passed her. She sat down quietly and took out her notebook and began to write what was on the board. The teacher was furious but she continued her lesson either way. All eyes were on Sakura. She'd never acted like that before. With no one. Tomoyo noticed the differences that been taking place in Sakura's mind and for some reason she felt like Syaoran would be the one who could really help her.

The bell rang and everyone walked out of class. Syaoran was headed toward Sakura but Darius beat him there. "What's wrong?" he asked her careful not to break into another argument like the other day. Sakura had her eyes fixed on her necklace and quietly said " I must find myself, by myself." "Sakura lately you've been behaving odd. If there is something you need just let it out. I hope it has nothing to do with our argument the other day."Darius gave her a reassuring smile and Sakura tried to do the same. But as Kyoto said she remained emotionless. Darius secretly feared that Sakura was finding out the secrets of her inner mind. The secret he secretly shares too. For the time being he could not say. Like she said she needed to find herself by herself. Darius left her alone until this was over. He was pretty sure she would look for him when she found out the truth. Tomoyo remained from the group of people outside in the hallway. "Sakura-chan...seeing you like this just hurts me more. You don't know how much pain I feel right now. Tomoyo aproached her friend and hugged her with all her might. Tomoyo-chan Sakura thought. Her feelings for Tomoyo would never change she knew how she felt about her. She loved her. She was her best friend and no matter the circumstances she was always there by her side. She knew her to well and always looked out for her. But where has it all gone? She felt frustrated in this emotionless state. Now wasn't the moment to think about those things she had to get to class and she avoided Tomoyo and left her standing.

She was emotionless, not feeling warm inside neither cold. Just plain emotionless. She didn't feel nothing and she was aware of that. Though friendship may be strong the inner depth was stronger for now. She had to discover her true feelings of life but now she didn't feel anything. It was impossible for her to think without having feelings. She remembered what she had called Darius.
Emotionless. Yet she shouldn't be talking now. Her words came to bite right back at her.

She stared at the chalk board as if looking to find answers there. All of suddenly she remembered what she had in her hand. The necklace. She looked at it really closely now and found a glowing silver inscription along the emerald gem. "Shall everything you do be done with love." For a second her eyes were hypnotized by the dancing swirls of petals and the silver glowing inscription. "With love?" she wondered. She was being hypnotized again by the swirls but was interrupted by a sudden voice in her head. "You must find it's meaning." she heard Kyoto's smooth voice sing in her mind.
As she heard this she thought of Syaoron. The moments they had shared side by side in combat as he helped her defeat Eriol. There was no ache, no pain. Nothing. But hadn't she loved Syaoran before? Hadn't she always cried for him for hurting her so? But then what is love? Why does love hurt us yet without it we hurt even more. Why do humans seek this knowing it will hurt them. Syaoran who had been sitting on the other end of the class noticed something different about Sakura. He no longer felt the same warmth of the pinkish aura he was use to feeling. But instead he felt as unusual glow. A grayish one. It was nor black nor white but gray. What has gotten into her lately? She had been acting strange. What happened to the Sakura he would see with that sweet smile and that cherry blossom face. All he saw now was her face all pale and full with emptiness. Was this his fault? Oh Sakura, she kept slipping out of his reach until finally he wouldn't be able to reach her any longer.
Sakura's mind kept wondering during class. Until she didn't notice that she wasn't in the classroom anymore.

"Great where am I now?"

She noticed herself in a familiar palace. The same palace she had the last ancient vision before.
Sakura heard two distant voices behind her. One clearly was Amaya's and she clearly recognize her figure. But standing next to her was a young man. Near the same age. By the way he was holding Amaya's hand she was guessing it was Lusheye. Amaya's lover. Lusheye was extremely handsome. And something of him reminded her of Kei. The eyes. Though the hair color was different because his was black and his eyes were amber. But this man had grace of life. Darius only had fear and emotions behind laughter. "You don't understand, my uncle Reed doesn't want the magic mixed any longer. Just like what my mother did. Therefore he doesn't want us to be together."

Lusheye stood there gazing into Amaya's eyes. " I don't want to lose you. Please don't do this to me, don't hurt me this way." He pulled her wrist towards him as he embraced her like he never did before. He inhaled her sweet scent. The scent of jasmine. Her innocence made her so attractive especially under the rays of the sun. He loved her. And he didn't want to be part of a world where there was no Amaya. There would be no point in living. No point to have the privilege to breathe the air of this world. Amaya's lips slowly spoke words. " You knew that I was Card Mistress. You knew my duty, my responsibility. Yet worst of all you knew my Uncle and you knew how he felt about this."

"Is it my fault now?" Lusheye spoke a bit harsh. " I was only young and a servant of your Father.
Am I to blame for because I fell in love with you? Is it all my fault you are expecting my child?"

"No I don't blame anyone. I wish we both could raise this child as we should with no fear. And not hiding. Oh Lusheye do you realize how much I love you. There are no words to express these feelings that I have for you. These feeling are so strong that I don't know how to control them. I don't want to live in fear from my Uncle."

"Then don't." Lusheye pressed his soft gentle lips on Amaya's. It seemed as though as time had stopped. But that moment didn't last. As the sun's rays expanded towards the both east and west the colors of the sun changed into a reddish color, the moon slowly rising. And this was when a hand grabbed Amaya from the back and pushed her against a pillar. She yelled in pain as her back soar. Lusheye tried to help her but he was also pushed back but with a staff pressed against his throat. It was Clow Reed's staff. Amaya turned around to notice her Uncle was fighting against her love. She tried hard to defend him with her magic but apparently she was to weak at the moment. Amaya looked up at him , Lusheye's eyes had no soul in them anymore. He was empty. Without a soul the body itself was useless. "Noo! Lusheye!" Amaya ran to hold him in her arms. "Lusheye.." Her eyes were full of anger. Full of rage. "You killed him.
Damn you Clow Reed you will you regret the day you ever met Amaya Reed."

"If there is anyone who should regret this it's you." Clow Reed and his arrogance left the balcony.
Lusheye was the only one who was always there for her when her Father had passed away. The one who taught her so much. She loved him so much and now he was gone. Damn Clow Reed someday the biggest revenge would fall upon him. If not now, it will someday. Her days were calculated already. For every women who mixed the blood in the Reed line was cursed from way before. She ran her fingers through Lusheye's hair. Soon she would be with him again. But her soul won't rest with Clow Reed going about. Atleast not with any of his line going on about. Her cards contained the mysteries of the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. They would fall upon the world someday if they were ever to be open again.

Sakura's eyes fluttered open. So it wasn't Clow Reed who sealed the cards away. It was Amaya.
The Amaya Cards contained the Egyptian Clow Cards which had been passed down from Clow Reeds past generation. Sakura had noticed herself standing in front of the class. Immediately her head became dizzy. Having those visions took up all her energy. Her body couldn't hold her no more and the cherry blossom fluttered down to the floor.

Sakura's eyes fluttered open once more as she found herself in a room that was white. A room that was silent. A room that was cold. Cold, but her hand was warm. A hand was holding hers. "Sakura."Syaoran said. "What happened to you?"

"I don't know Syoaran, I feel like there's a confusion so deep inside of me, like a cloud covering all my feelings." She looked up to him this time. "Syaoran, I don't know what I feel anymore.
Like what I'm so suppose to do, why I was chosen to do this job. It takes up all my energy." Frustrated as she was it was the first time she opened up herself since all her troubles started.
And it felt good.

"Sakura, I admit that I myself was like that at some point. When I thought that everything was predestined and we didn't have a path to choose. Why did destiny pick me to be in the clan and do what I do now. But I accepted it and do what I have to. I know how you feel. I use to feel the same way, like if there were a cloud covering my mind. That I hid myself from the world. So that I wouldn't have to deal with everyone else. No one is perfect so you should accept whatever comes your way and make the best of it. But for now take a rest alright"
He was right. Sleeping was the best thing to do right now. And so she did. But as she drifted away once more. She found herself in a familiar place. Once more she found herself in the Old Tomoeda. The one her mother grew up and met her father. She passed by another house and spotted Aya.. She being happy that she finally had achieved the true love of her life. Not wanting to let go of him ever and she would do anything for him. Just like Amaya felt about Lusheye. Aya was so in love that love was blinding. That same day as she was ready to go to school. She noticed a figure next to her. Surprised at the sudden appearance she moved back. Only to see Amaya the one and only who hasn't slept in peace. With a cloak around her she presented herself to Aya.

"Amaya" Aya gasped.

"Don't be surprised. You know what you have to do. Nadeshiko is one of Clow Reeds chosen ones and she will bare a child that will serve for Clow Reed's purposes. And where will we be at? Destroyed. Aya you have to kill Nadeshiko if you don't Clow Reed will destroy us. You hear me Aya?" Amaya's spirit howled.

Aya understood what Amaya was telling her. She knew that this day had to come sooner or later.
But Nadeshiko and Sonomi were her bests friend.

" I cant do it. Even if her daughter were to destroy me I could never kill Nadeshiko."

"You traitor!" Amaya, about to destroy her own reincarnation stopped. She had a better idea that way not all was lost. Amaya being a spirit had an advantage of overpowering Aya. By casting her soul and body to be separate. Once that occurred Amaya took over Aya's body doing whatever she pleased. And eliminating Nadeshiko would please her very much. She walked out of the house heading towards where Nadeshiko lived. Sakura seeing what had happened in the past curiously followed her. But little did she know that even though her mind and body weren't connected her body was unconsciously moving leading her out of the nurse's room to the edge of a cliff by the road. As Syaoran had cut class miserably worried about Sakura he had decided to visit her at the nurses office. To his great surprise she was no where to be found. Asking desperately where she was the nurse confused, didn't know where she had gone. Quickly Syaoran ran out of the office running towards her house as fast as he could. I hope she's alright she shouldn't be out in her condition, he thought. When he finally reached her house he jumps into her room through her window but also Sakura wasn't there. He looked around to see if there was anything that could help him find her but only Kero was found. "Brat, what are you doing here invading my mistress' privacy?"

"Dumb stuffed animal, has Sakura been her?" he frantically asked out of breath.

" No, wait let me think , no it's probably because she's at school learning unlike some other people." Kero sarcastically stated.

Syaoran did not have time for nonsense especially to argue with a stuffed animal. " She's not in school she left and I have no idea where she could be. She has been acting weird lately like you say something to her and she has no reaction to it. The last time I saw her she was talking about not having feelings of some sort of feeling clouded and confused very deep inside" Kero nodded, though he hated to admit the brat was right it was true.

" Yeah your right she has and this morning she was standing there starring at her mirror for the longest time. It was very un Sakura like. So I drifted to sleep."

"Mirror?"Syaoran asked. He stood up and looked at the mirror but instead of seeing his reflection he was greeted by Kyoto.

"Sakura?" Syaoran gasped. Kyoto shook her head in delight.

"No, Kyoto." Just like she had done to Sakura before she grabbed for his hand, dragging him into the mirror, into the cherry blossom's inner soul. And just like Sakura had Syaoran could see nothing but an endless dark void. "Who are you?"

Dancing lightly in the air she twirled around him. "I'm Kyoto, I'm Sakura's other self, her inner self. Only unlike her I remain emotionless too keep the joyful balance of her outer self, there must be bad for there to be good, there should be dark for there to be light. I know everything about Sakura of course since I am her." She paused for a moment placing her finger on his lips enjoying the pleasure of his warmth.
"I see the Young wolf is truly handsome my, my, the cherry blossom does have good taste." At this comment Syaoran felt slightly uncomfortable. Noticing the slight moment of silence Kyoto changed the subject into more important matters.

" I have something you want...something your seeking. Truth. Am I not right little wolf?"

"Where's Sakura?" he yelled. She was trying his patience.

"Patience my young wolf, patience. I'm also concerned about her very much this is why I brought you here in her inner self so I can speak to you the truth. Only so much that Sakura is willing to say the rest for her to decide if she will tell you or not."

"Go on"

" I'm a spirit, well sort of and I know what is around me more than humans can ever notice.
There's a hunch about collecting the Egyptian Amaya cards. For each one you capture each value you shall suffer. And the value our cherry blossom is suffering right now is the control of her own emotions. She's been hold so much inside that it's hard for her to control what she feels that she has ended not feeling anything. She had lost the sweet innocence and has to discover on her own what her feelings are for everyone, including you. This won't be permanent unless she find it in due time only will then the card be truly hers when she has shown her inner strength and mind to over power the cards she has a right to call hers."

" I never knew this was happening, why didn't she tell me?"

"Because she only relies on herself for now she does not know who to trust. Yet I fear she's in the worst of dangers now. Her own life is playing at stake and is playing with the fact she is a thread away in losing it."

"What the heck are you talking about?"

" My sweet other self is unconsciously moving through the visions she's having she moving without knowing her body is and for that matter she is about to lose her life if she doesn't wake up to reality soon enough. You' ll find her at the edge of a cliff near the road about lets say half an hour from here. " She had the most miscellaneous smile dancing on her face.

"Why are you smiling like that" he demanded.

"I know you'll be there in time for I know what is in your inner soul also, a sweet spot for a certain blooming flower who has to be awakened to all these feelings. Take care of her for me little wolf for if she disappears so do I for we are one together. But please do not hurt her for if you do you will be hurting me as well. She giggled in a flirty way and placed her hands in his. Be strong for the final battle between you and yourself is near. Hurry for time is slipping out of your fingers." She disappeared and everything went back to normal. He jumped out the window and started running towards the end of the road. Oh Sakura please be okay, he hoped.

It was a really long way down the road. One jump and everything you ever knew in your life disappears. The wind whistled through her hair making a chill run down her spine. Not yet conscious about her body moving towards the edge of the cliff. At the same time her spirit was watching the struggle between Aya and Amaya. As Aya had approached the cliff she saw Nadeshiko waiting for her.

"So what is it? Is there something the matter?" Nade asked worried for her.

Amaya in Aya's body smiled dangerously. "Your so guilable." Amaya chuckled. She grabbed Nadeshiko's wrist and pushed Nadeshiko off the cliff. Luckily for her she grabbed unto the edge of a rock.

"Aya! What's gotten into you!" Nade shouted, trying to grasp for air.

"Fool I am not Aya! I'm Amaya, mistress of the Egyptian Clow Cards."

Nade gasped in surprise. She knew of Amaya. Aya was part Egyptian and followed the decadency of all the Egyptian wizards. Nadeshiko was the only one who had the power to stop Amaya and if not her if the prophecy was correct her daughter would also have the ability to.
Nadeshiko closed her eyes for a miracle to happen. Amaya raised her foot aiming it right at Nadeshiko's hand. But exactly that moment Aya rushed into her body gaining control of it. Nade noticed tears rushing out of her eyes.

"Nade" Aya sobbed as she lifted Nade off of the edge. "RUN! Save yourself, I can't control my body for long." she cried. Nadeshiko could have ran if she wanted to but she didn't.

"Im not. Im staying right here with you." She tried picking Aya up but didn't succeed. Amaya returned to Aya's body once more.

Only this time she threatened Nade with long poisonous claws ready to strike. She was anticipating the pleasure of ripping through her flesh. "Finally Clow Reed I will get my revenge"
she sang. Her claws ripped through Nade's flesh. The poison swiming into her blood stream.
Nade backed away. Her arm stinging as the poison was sinking into her veins flowing through the rest of her body. Aya seeing her dear friend shrieking with pain went back into her body.
Nade moved uncontrollably the poison was to much to bare. As Aya approached trying to help her, Nade accidently pushed Aya back her claws injecting poison in her leg as she fell. Both of their lives were at stake now. Both equal poisoned of hatred, anger and hurt. Amaya's soul had infused with Aya's. Now having two different personalities. This is how it all began. How all the hatred started between them both. Not because of pure hatred but because they had been poisoned Amaya's plan had back fired she still needed to get her revenge somehow. Nade poisoned wasn't enough. She wanted to hurt something more.
And what would hurt more if the future clow master were to be destroyed. She would be hurting poor Nadeshiko as well. Seeing her only child die miserably. Even though Nadeshiko and Aya were bound to hate and death for eternity now. Aya needed the satisfaction so she could finally rest in peace.
Sakura's body hanged like a thread near the end of the cliff. Finally as the scene had ended in her mind she opened her eyes back to reality. She found herself in the same place where Aya and her mother had fought. She was shocked how did she get here in the first place? Her legs gave in easily to the sleek dirt. Her mind went blank and she didn't have enough time to grab her key and staff. Only one hope was in her mind.

"Syaoran." she whispered. Her eyes closed as her body flew down toward her end. Where all of it ends. "I''m going to let my soul dance with the wind."

Her hand lifted in the air as a sign of surrender. Her fingers twitched as she felt the warmth of other fingers intertwined with hers. The grip on her arms were strong g as they pulled her up. Her eyes opened to see someone's chest in front of her. To feel someone's arms around her.

"Syaoran, how did you know I was here?" she asked.

"I'll always know you are." he whispered in her ear sending electrical waves through out her body. "Don't try dancing with the wind again, I'll be Forced to dance with you."

At this he smiled but he realized he was still holding her tight afraid that she was going to die. He secretly wished they could stay like that. Wished that if they had met at some different point in life they could have been the perfect couple.

" I met Kyoto." Syaoran finally said. Heading Sakura toward her house, walking side by side.

"I know you can't have feelings for anyone and that sacrifice you have to give to capture each one of your cards but don't give up. Cause I'm here." his smile was sad but it made all the difference in the world. Sakura felt a certain warmth rising in her chest and before she knew it she had returned a smile. She now understood what Kyoto had said.

"As long as you discover yourself. If you discover your thoughts within the corner of your mind"
Sakura felt compassion towards others, it was this love towards everyone even people she didn't know that made her Clow Mistress, this love that she was capable of forgiving and saving people's lives from the harm of evil's claws. She was capable of not using her powers for the wrong reasons.
She finally knew why she had been chosen. And why she must keep striving. " I feel love for everyone, and I'm not giving up" Sakura faced Syaoran. Her face filled with rosy cheeks and vivid emerald eyes again.

" I'm glad your back." Syaoran said. Sakura thanked Syaoran maybe not the best way but right now she needed to talk to Kyoto. She ran up to her room ignoring her brother's presence. She faced the mirror in her room still she couldn't see her reflection.

"Find the meaning of my name.." She Kyoto's voice echo through her room.

"Kyoto, means mirror." Sakura calmly answered. Kyoto smiled from the other side. Once more she pulled her in. "That's right my little cherry blossom. I'm a mirror a mirror of you. And once more Sakura found herself back in her inner self. Kyoto sat down in thin air looking amused. "So did you uncover the secrets of your inner mind"
Sakura's face hardened a bit. " I carry the poisonous hatred that Amaya Placed in my Mother's blood. And so does Darius. It hasn't fully developed unless I let it. I feel so much love for everyone that I won't let others get hurt because of me. And I don't want me and Darius to fight either. Now I understand why you told me that everything that I do shall be done with love.
Because if I don't the poison will kill just like it killed Aya and my mother." Kyoto had known of this. And so did Darius but didn't want Sakura to realize this. "Love yet is a thing that keeps me going. You once asked me what was the meaning of love. Love is a feeling deep inside. A good affection towards another. It's such a good feeling that you would go through anything to do in the name of that love. I thank you for making me realize these things."

"My sweet cherry blossom. Do not worry for things that are not yet to come. All of these things that you hath said are true I shall not deny them. But they will all come in due time." Kyoto placed her hand on Sakura's chest. The only cure for the poison is inside here, in your heart.
Don't forget my dear that when you need me all you need to do is see yourself."She giggled and everything went back to normal.
Sakura checked herself back in the mirror. She could see her vivid emerald green eyes again. Her long auburn hair at hair side a bit messy and her grown body starring right back at her. Her face lighten up. Once more her cheerfulness stood out. Only she now knew why Darius's face always seemed hidden. Because of the secret burden he carried. Just like she did now. She jumped on her bed grabbing Kero into one huge hug.

"Where have you been? The brat came looking for you." Kero claimed her.

"Syaoran he came here?" He did say he met Kyoto. How else but by the mirror. She began to think about Syaoran what was her feelings toward Syaoran. She loved him as a friend like everyone else. But for now she left her feeling unsorted out. He was there for her when she'd wanted to give up. Who else could she trust but him. Slowly she got her phone and began to dial.

Alex: Well I decided to change a lot of thing in the story and the name from Kei to Darius thought an Egyptian name would be better. Things in the next chapter are alittle more heated so don't miss it.
