Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura. CLAMP does.

Reia-chan: Mwahehehehe! Just for curiosity purpose, the story's title came from the title of one of Card Captor Sakura's songs. I was fond of hearing that sweet song; got addicted to it that I always play it everyday and repeat it over and over. Also, I wasn't able to grasp a good title for this story that I end up using that as one. Haha! What an idiot… I may change the title once I find a good one. As for now, I want to use that one. It's just that that song has an atmosphere of nostalgia that's why I also chose it… Anyway, let's get on with the story. I know you're excited… or am I wrong?... BTW, it's longer than the first. And thanks for the reviews.

Edit: From Keroberus, I changed it to Keroberos. Made a mistake with the spelling of the name! I fixed it now.

Chapter 1

----------

The sky was blue, and the breeze was cool; everything was the same on that beautiful morning like any ordinary day would be. But the fact that Sakura had lost her memory didn't make the brunette's day right. Touya was in the kitchen busily preparing the family's morning feast – especially the young girl's bedroom breakfast. It wasn't supposed to be his turn to do the chores; it was supposed to be Sakura to cook their morning meal but what would a lost girl do when she couldn't remember anything about herself? She didn't even know that she should be cooking at that time. The older brother also knew that it was best for her little sister to rest in the meantime. Everything must be done slowly if he wants her to regain back all of her memories.

Fugitaka came down to the kitchen and noticed Touya, "Touya, shouldn't Sakura be the one doing that?"

Not leaving his eye off the pan, the boy replied, "Well, the young princess is still sleeping so I thought I'd be doing it instead. Waking her up or waiting for her to get up would just be a waste."

He tried to slip the real reason out. He didn't want his father to worry about Sakura. Also, he knew that Sakura's lost of memory occurrence wasn't just a natural one that Fujitaka might find it hard to understand.

He was already preparing his father's lunchbox. Touya made the final knot before handing it down to him. He approached the dining table and noticed Fujitaka's frantic movements. He asked, wondering, "You seem to be in a hurry?"

The father scratched his head as he replied guiltily, "I'll be late for the meeting. Just take care, the two of you."

"We'll be fine," he told him even though Sakura wasn't all right. He then remembered as he handed the lunch kit to him, "I've also prepared your lunch. And take care too."

The man took it from the boy as he hurriedly went off to work. As for Touya, he was already done cooking. He just needed to bring Sakura's breakfast to her bedroom.

----- Sakura's Dream -----

There was only natural darkness and silence as the girl with auburn hair stood quietly in the middle of nowhere. Fear and loneliness were things that she was feeling at the moment; it surrounded her whole being. A cold wind suddenly passed by her. The chill penetrated her body, which made her tuck and wrap her arms around her. She then turned her gaze to the blow's origin. A voice then followed – calling her.

"Sakura," it calmly and naturally spoke. It was clear but seemed rather distant.

"W-Who's there?" the young girl said in a trembling voice as she spun around.

Hearing the voice no more, which made her feel restless, her feet slowly stepped backwards until she bumped unto something. It made her yank out and turn around to be able to face it. She only saw a silhouette before her; she didn't manage to get more details of its feature except that she could distinguish that it was a boy – about the same age as her. Both of them stood frozen for about 10 seconds until the boy lifted his right arm before him.

With the same tone, he said, "Take my hand… Take it."

Sakura wasn't able to grasp the idea of why that boy wanted her to reach for his hand or anything related with the hands. Hesitating, she slowly carried her hand forward to him but before she could have held it, she was been called back to reality by a knock, coming behind the door.

----------

After three knocks, a voice spoke, "Sakura, may I come in?"

Sakura slowly lifted her body to a sit then rubbed her eyes, softly saying, "Please do come in."

Once the door was opened widely, it revealed a tall boy, carrying a tray with Sakura's breakfast on it. Touya calmly greeted her, "Good morning, kaijuu." He joked upon calling her a monster again as he approached her; he just loved to tease his younger sister as always. "Did you get a good night sleep?"

Hearing the word 'kaijuu' once again, Sakura counterattacked his brother by pitching a pillow right on his face. But because her energy was somehow drained last night, and she was still regaining her strength, Touya was able to avoid the flying pillow.

He then cried, "Whoa! Easy there, kaijuu! If it hit the tray, I'd make you clean up the mess. No exceptions."

"You started it!" she bickered and continued, "And there you go again!"

"What do you want me to call you? Her highness?" he emphasized the last phrase. Upon arriving beside her bed, Touya laid the tray down on the sideboard and set Sakura's meal on a foldable table right before her.

"A-Ano…" Sakura stammered. There was a slight pause before she was able to continue saying, "… Thank you."

"Eh?" Touya stopped with what he was doing and immediately turned to face her.

"Thank you. I'm not sick yet you serve me. You seemed to be a stranger to me yet you treat me nicely like a family," she justified. Her eyes started to water, almost at the brink of falling. As beads of tears escape her eyes, she began wiping them off with her frail hands.

"I maybe a stranger to you, but the fact is we are genetically related. Whether you believe it or not, physically, you are my blood-related younger sister," he explained. "If the real Sakura was here, she would probably laugh at what you said. I love teasing her all the time by calling her 'kaijuu'. But that is also one of my ways of showing that I care for her." He went back to transferring the meal from the tray to the table.

Upon hearing that from him, Sakura smirked, "You're so mean." Her hands were both laid down on her lap as she thought in relief, "So that's why he's calling me that way… No harm meant… He was just treating me normally… But still…"

The older boy was just a few inches away from her – she knew about that. And desiring satisfaction through revenge, Sakura snatched the little yellow creature, which she thought was a stuffed-toy, and threw it right on Touya's face. Instead of hearing anything from Touya first, it ended up hearing something from Keroberos.

"Ouch!" Keroberos cried as softly as he can but still he was noticed. One of his limbs even jerked a reflex.

"Are? A living stuffed-toy?" Sakura blinked and wondered surprisingly. She wasn't sure whether her reaction would be to be curious or to be scared of him.

The older boy detached the small creature off his face by using his two fingers as he gave it a deadly stare. He brought it close to his face for examination and said knowingly, "I thought so…"

Keroberos started to sweat a lot as he was being pondered by the boy. Touya then said, "Now that there's no point in hiding anything anymore, will you spit out the details about what happened last night? About Sakura's memory loss?"

The yellow creature was starting to get terrified of the older boy so he transformed to his real self. Touya ended up being pushed down by Keroberos' paws as Sakura tilted her head sideways, not believing what she was seeing, and stared at them in bewilderment.

The yellow beast finally spoke, "I know you have the right to know being concerned with your younger sister, but don't be so pushy!"

As Touya was trying to free himself from Keroberos' grasp, Keroberos turned his gaze on Sakura, who immediately pulled her blanket near her face but her emerald eyes were still left seen. Sakura suddenly felt scared of him.

"Sakura, don't be afraid. I'm your friend and, at the same time, one of the guardians of the Clow," he reintroduced himself to her having in mind about the young girl's situation. "Keroberos is the name. You can call me Kero-chan like how the old Sakura used to call me."

The young girl was even more confused about hearing unfamiliar, or rather bizarre, words. "Clow?... Keroberos?..."

"Let me give you a short explanation about yourself. About your 'magical' self," he started as the Clow Book was being pulled out of the drawer by magic. "This is the Clow Book, dear Sakura. And you are the Card Mistress. Before, you've been capturing the Clow Cards that were creating havoc in this world, and you've managed to seal them back. As for now, your duty is just to protect the book, and, of course, the cards in it as well."

There was a long silence surrounding the room. Sakura did pick up a few words but it still was shocking for her to believe.

"You don't believe me? Take out that necklace you're wearing," Keroberos ordered.

"Ehhh?" The young girl pulled out the star key pendant following his orders. She never realized that there was something around her neck that existed until recently.

He continued, "Can you stand up?"

"Rather still weak but I can try," she cautiously slid out of the table then the bed and attempted to stand up on her own. Her feet managed to lay flat on the ground. Sakura then interrupted, "Oh and, will you… uh… Keroberos, right?... Kero-chan, I mean… let go of Touya niisan?" She then turned to his older brother who was still lying on the ground due to the beast's strong force. She told him, "And will you just sit and calm down after you're being released, Touya niisan? I bet he's not hostile that you should be always on the guard."

Keroberos removed his paws away and stepped aside to give room for the boy to get up. Touya still haven't fully trusted the beast yet he sat on Sakura's bed abiding by her request as he watched anything interesting that might happen.

"Shall we move on?" Sakura turned back to the yellow beast in front of her.

"All right," Keroberos continued, "Hold the pendant and repeat after me."

… Key that uses the power of the stars…

"Key that uses the power of the stars," holding the star key pendant before her, Sakura followed as an emblem and rays of light appeared below her. "What's this?"

… Appear before me in your true form…

"… Appear before me in your true form…"

At first, Touya carried a surprised look on his face, and, in the end, he fell fascinated over what he was seeing.

… For Sakura, the one with the contract with you, commands it…

"… For Sakura, the one with the contract with you, commands it…"

…Release!

"… RELEASE!" she yelled out the final word.

The pendant transformed itself into a wand with a star at the top of the stick. Both Sakura and Touya were dumbstruck, speechless.

"This is…?" the young girl stared at it in amazement.

"The Star Wand," the beast replied. "You have to believe me now that I've show you something interesting… And about the memory lost…"

Realizing, Touya suddenly interrupted, "Sakura, your meal." With narrow eyes, he pointed and continued, "It's already catching flies. The flies might not leave you with anything."

"Oh yeah, right!" Sakura laughed lightly as she scratched the back of her head in ridicule. "Kero-chan, I hope you won't mind me eating while you're explaining?"

"I won't," he said reverently as he changed back to his 'petite' form.

The wand also altered back to its key form with the young girl's will, and Sakura slid back on her bed then in between the table legs. She started digging in the pancakes as she listened to Keroberos. Touya listened as well; that was what he wanted to hear from the very beginning.

"I really don't have the full details of what really happened, but I'll tell you what I know," the little creature started. "I was already sleeping at that time when I felt a weird aura within the atmosphere. By the time I got out of my 'room', Sakura seemed like she was being possessed, but I managed to wake her up. I'm not sure if it got anything to do with the Clow Book or… Going back, I found her being surrounded by some purple and black aura. She also told me that she was hearing something that I couldn't. Then after, she screamed and collapsed. She was unconscious… I tried to wake her up until you came into the room. When she woke up, I thought she would be all right, but then she lost her memory as I overheard you."

"So… it was all that purple and black auras' fault then?" Touya asked trying to understand as he analyzes the details.

"Well, that's where everything leads to… for now, I guess," Keroberos said unsurely.

Sakura suddenly interrupted, "So, how will I be able to recall my lost memories? Anyone have an idea?"

Keroberos stammered, "Well… I… I'll talk to Yue about this matter. I just hope it wasn't a drawback when you caught the last card."

Out of the blue, Sakura's mobile phone rang, which alarmed everyone.

"Sakura, answer it. It's probably Tomoyo," the yellow creature said as he flew towards it to hand it to her.

Enjoying, the young girl was about to place the food in her mouth but then she was interrupted with Keroberos' sudden statement. As the fork left hanging before her, she asked in confusion, "Who? Who's that?" She continued on with eating.

Touya abruptly answered her instead, "Daidouji Tomoyo, your best friend since elementary."

"What should I tell her when I get to talk to her?" she panicked as she held on the glass of milk. "I don't think I'll be able to answer anything right."

Instead, the older boy took the phone from Keroberos and answered the phone.

"Hello, Sakura-chan?" the person on the other line started.

"Hello. Good morning. This is Sakura's brother, Touya. Is it you, Tomoyo?" he asked. "Sorry to tell you this but Sakura's not feeling well right now."

"Is that so... Yes, this is Tomoyo. Would it be all right to come over there?" Tomoyo asked politely.

"I suggest that you should," he replied calmly.

"Ok. I'll be there right away. Please do tell Sakura to take care of herself or I'll be worried about her," she anxiously told the boy.

"I will. Bye," he hanged up.

Touya sighed, and then turned back his gaze on Sakura who was already finished with her breakfast.

He told them, "Daidouji-san will be arriving in a few minutes."

Wiping her lips with a table napkin, Sakura said, "All right. That means I should prepare, right?"

The older boy took away all the eating utensils that the girl used, and without leaving her gaze on him, he walked towards the door. He said before leaving, "Dress up."

----------

After a few minutes of waiting, a light knock came behind the door as Sakura and Keroberos were discussing about certain things pertaining to the young girl's memory.

"Must be Tomoyo-chan," Keroberos gladly said as he flew away to get the door. "I wish for dessert!"

As soon as door was opened, it revealed a gorgeous lass, carrying a basket along with her. She was wearing a purple dress as her grayish-violet hair was tied behind her. The sincere and sweet smile calmed the two.

Tomoyo spoke turning to Keroberos then to Sakura, "Hello there, Keroberos, Sakura-chan. I've brought in some cake to make you feel better."

"CAKE! You're really sweet, Tomoyo-chan!" The little creature said as he blushed and almost melted in delight.

The amethyst-eyed lass giggled then asked the other girl, "How are you feeling now, Sakura-chan? Your brother, Touya, told me that you're not ok. I hope it's not because you slept late last night." She walked in as the little creature accompanied her towards Sakura.

Keroberos interrupted and explained flying in between the two girls, "Well, she is physically all right but…"

"But what?" the amethyst-eyed lass asked. She started to worry because of Keroberos' hanging statement. Sitting before Sakura on the bed, she placed down the basket beside her and listened to his explanation.

"She's mentally not all right," he said as his voice softens in a fading manner.

Wanting to make the young girl feel better, Tomoyo thought of joking around, but by looking at Keroberos and Sakura's expression, things seemed complicated, which made her withdraw the idea. It seemed that things were pretty serious, she thought. "What do you mean?"

Feeling that it was all right for the girl to know what was currently happening, Sakura continued, "I…I actually don't remember anything. You, Kero-chan, Touya niisan, and anyone I knew before." She suddenly felt distressed and continued, "I don't even know anything about myself. Kero-chan and Touya niisan give me a few ideas though."

The other girl felt disturbed by the sudden happening. It even worried her more knowing that Syaoran's arrival would be in a few days.

She thought, "How would Li-kun react when he knew that something bad happened to his love? Must he know or must he not?"

She suddenly realized that the surroundings became quiet so she abruptly asked, "Why don't we eat the cakes while discussing about this, ne?" She smiled trying to cheer up everyone from the gloomy atmosphere.

Keroberos took the bait and gladly cheered, "Yay! Time to try Tomoyo-chan's cake! Surely they are delicious! What did you bake?"

"Blueberry cheesecake," Tomoyo gladly replied.

She opened the basket taking out slices of cakes that were already prepared to be served. She gave each one, including herself, a slice of cake and a fork. The yellow creature started munching on his in a fast pace.

"Take it easy, Kero-chan. You might get choked," she warned him.

Sakura suddenly said smiling, "Thank you, Toyono-chan,"

Tomoyo giggled on Sakura's funny fault, "It's Tomoyo, Sakura-chan."

Embarrassed, the young girl blushed lightly as she playfully pushed her two fingers together before her. "I'm sorry."

Still smiling, the long haired girl shook her head and said, "That's all right. You're still in your recovering stage." She then pulled out small cups from the basket and served the iced tea.

As they were having their snack, they continued over with their conversation.

The long haired lass asked, "Do you think this has something to do with the Clow cards? But isn't it that all cards have already been captured?"

"I believe they are all already captured by Sakura-chan. I'm not yet that sure if this has something to do with the Clow book though," Keroberos replied even if his mouth was full. "It'd be wise to ask either Yue or Clow Reed's reincarnation, Eriol."

Tomoyo suddenly remembered and said shifting the topic, "Oh yeah, Li-kun and Meiling-chan are coming to Japan in a few days. When I called you last night, we decided to hold a welcoming party. I know that we have a current problem in here but we have to act normally, especially you, Sakura-chan." She looked at the other girl seriously then smiled softly, assuring her, "Don't worry. If things would go wrong, I'll back you up. Just be yourself. You're a good actress anyway."

"All right," Sakura agreed but somehow, she was having doubts that everything would be just fine. She then parted a piece of the cake with her fork and placed it in her mouth.

Keroberos then said, "I'll then be finding out what caused all this trouble so Sakura-chan will get back all of her memories as soon as possible."

"Right," Tomoyo agreed then turned back to Sakura. "We should tell Li-kun about this also. He must know. He's your sweetheart."

Indulging herself with the cake, the auburn haired girl almost choked upon hearing that from the other girl. She hurriedly took the cup of tea and drank it to clear her throat. Her face was then profusely red as she reacted, "Eehhhhhhh? I already have a lover!"

The other girl nodded and grinned happily. As Sakura's face changed to despair, Tomoyo's expression changed as well knowing that something was bothering her.

"But even though you say that he's someone I love, what if that feeling is gone along with my memories?" Sakura turned serious as she started to worry. "I won't be able to act as how I should be towards him. I don't know how I treated him before to be able to care for him right now."

"Sakura-chan," Keroberos couldn't help but feel sorry for the young girl's confusing situation.

Tomoyo pat her shoulders, "Don't worry. We'll see about that… once you see him."

Sakura softly smiled trying to hide any doubts and grief she was feeling at the moment.

"All right! Let's get down to business, shall we?" the amethyst-eyed lass said.

"Sure," she said, still carrying that serious face. There were many things going on her mind as she and Tomoyo started to plan for the party.

She thought, "I just hope that the feeling isn't gone… that it will save me… The feeling… called 'Love'…"

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat when Touya's image appeared in her thoughts. She tucked a little and placed her hand on her chest.

"You all right, Sakura-chan?" Keroberos noticed her.

"So warm…" she gladly thought blushing. "Don't tell me… I love Touya niisan?" She shook her head along with the thoughts, "No. that would be very bad! He's my brother said he!"

"I mustn't think or feel that way!"
