Heyzanother chapter is finally outs. I am not sure if this is the right card because I have not seen card chapters for a REALLY long time. Correct me if I got the wrong card.

Chapter Five

Twin Christmas

Sakura walked down the street remembering clearly what had happened. It was Christmas Eve and Sakura could not forget what happened that day. What can I do if the power is stronger than the clow cards? Sakura thought. She snapped out of her little dream world when she heard empty glass bottles being thrown on the floor. Three drunken guys came out of the corner. Sakura stared at them blankly as their gaze fell on her. They smiled an evil smile. Reality hit Sakura and she just ran.

Celina saw Sakura running pretty quick as Sakura ran right past her, almost knocking her over. Celina ran after Sakura, curious of what Sakura could be running for. Sakura stopped when she met a dead end. Sakura then realized that Celina was there.

Celina looked at Sakura and asked, "Would you like to tell me why you were running?"

"There were three guys … three drunk guys following me."

"Oh."

"Oh! They could have…"

"There is no point overreacting about it. Let's go the right way out of here."

Celina walked out of the alley as the three guys approached them.

"Excuse me." Celina said grabbing Sakura along.

They blocked their way. Celina rolled her eyes. Sakura looked at Celina, she was so calm.

"Well, we have an idea, why don't you come with us?" One of them said.

"Psh, like we would." Celina said.

"Well, then we would have to make you." He said.

He lunged forward at Celina; Celina swung her leg, to kick him. He caught it. Celina dropped down to her hands and did a back flip, freeing her leg and kicking his chin in the process. He fell back. Celina heard Sakura screaming. Another one was holding Sakura. She sighed and ran towards jumping off the man that she had kicked before. She tackled the man, freeing Sakura. "Sakura, hurry! Run! I will hold them off." Sakura was about to protest but thought better. She ran but had no idea where she was running to. She saw Elrojo and ran to him. "Joe!" He looked at Sakura, "Are you okay?" Sakura nodded and grabbed Elrojo and dragged him to the direction Celina was. "Where are we going?" he asked. "Celina, she … they … she is in trouble!" Sakura said out of breath. "Celina? I doubt it." Elrojo said walking. "But!"

When they reached there, the three guys were running away. Sakura looked at Celina, "Lina, are you okay?"

"Yea, perfectly fine. Why did you come back?" Celina stopped and looked at Elrojo, "Why is he here?"

"To help!" Sakura said.

"It doesn't seem he was in any rush." Celina gave him a death glare.

"Well, obviously you didn't need help. Don't need to get so bitchy." He said in an unfriendly tone.

"Jerk…" Celina said rolling her eyes.

"Whore"

"Asshole …"

"Slut …."

"Dyke …"

"Lame ass …"

"Jackass …"

"Moron …"

"Faggot …"

Sakura stared at them as they insult each other. "Uhh … guys …. Guys!"

They turned and stared at her. "What?" they both said in unison. "Lina, I think we should be going." Sakura said. Celina looked at her confused but, she played along anyway. "Yeah, sure." Before Sakura and Celina left, Sakura and Elrojo said their good-byes.

"So, you can fight." Sakura said trying to avoid what had happened a few moments ago. Celina nods. She reached in to her pocket and pulled out an envelope. "You wanted the tickets right?" Sakura took the envelope and smiled. She hugged Celina screaming a million "thank-you".

"Are we going to exchange gifts?" Celina asked.

"Yeah, I called them; we are supposed to meet at 1." Sakura answered.

Celina stared at her watch. "Well it is 1:10"

Sakura eyes were wide opened. She looked at her watch and screamed, "Oh my god! They are going to kill me!"

Celina followed the panicked girl to the Kinomoto's residents. Sakura quickly unlocked the door.

"Hi Dad!" Sakura said quickly and ran upstairs.

"Hi Mr. Kinomoto" Celina said and followed Sakura.

Tomoyo and Mei-ling were playing cards when Sakura and Celina reached the room.

"You're late!" They both said in unison. They looked up and saw Celina, "Hi Lina." Celina waved. She sat down next to Tomoyo and asked, "Why are you guys all here?"

Mei-ling put her cards down and said, "Well, we were supposed to exchange presents." Sakura laughed nervously, "Well, you see, I faced some trouble."

"What?" they both asked.

"Nothing that you guys have to worry about. Let's see what gifts you give each other. Oh, yeah sorry guys. I did not suspect to run into Sakura so I didn't bring your gifts except Tomoyo's." Celina said frowning.

"It's okay. Then I guess you can give your present first." Sakura said.

"Well, I can't really give it. Tomoyo, would you like to work in my company for two days to see how things work?

Tomoyo was speechless and only nods with a big smile on her face.

Suddenly Kero sticks his head out of Sakura school bag. Sakura quickly grabs her school bag and stuffs Kero's head back in the bag. Kero makes a muffled sound, everyone looked at Sakura. Sakura makes a fake cough. "Um … are you okay? Celina asks. Sakura nods and looks at Tomoyo and Mei-ling. "Uh … she is perfectly fine. Just a little cough, so lets all go to my house so then … I can show Celina my designs and go get her present." Tomoyo says. Celina looks at them confused and shrugs it off. She walks out of the room with Tomoyo and Mei-ling following her. "I will be there in a minute!" Sakura screams.

Sakura opens her bag and lets Kero out. "Kero, what did you think you were doing!"

"Well, why don't you check your clow cards? There is something wrong with the twin"

Sakura takes out the clow cards and searches for the twin card. "How am I going to explain when I completely disappear from my room?"

"You jump out the window?"

"Now I am suicidal?"

"No, never mind. Just check the card already."

Sakura sighs and screams from her room, "You guys go without me! I have to do something!" She heard voices then a door closing.

She transformed her key chain to a wand and tapped the card. The card glowed a white light. Sakura waited to be sucked in but instead something jumped out and leaped out of her window into the outside. Sakura eyes widened. "You got to be kidding me!"

Sakura ran downstairs and put her roller skates on. She run outside and chased them. She almost knocked down a couple people that were calling her names, "Sorry! I am so sorry, excuse me. Sorry, excuse me." Sakura constantly repeated. She was glad that there was still light outside. Apparently she was able to come across the girls. She was past the girls in seconds. Celina looked at her with and odd expression. Tomoyo and Mei-ling looked at each other. They turned to Celina but she wasn't there. They looked around and Celina was chasing Sakura. They ran after her.

By the time they reached Sakura, someone was yelling at her. "I'm sorry, I was in a rush!" Celina walked up to the lady and asked, "What is wrong?" "This girl bumped into me and I dropped all my groceries. I want my money back." Celina sighed, "How much?" "$50", she said. Celina looked at her disbelievingly, "What did you buy?" "Do you have the money? I believe you don't." She said ignoring Celina's question. Celina sighs, she takes out her wallet and hands over a 50. "You are lucky this time. Be more careful next time." The lady says, taking Celina's money and walking away. "Thanks, but I have to go." Sakura says as she turns to go off again. "Sakura, what's wrong?" Tomoyo asked. "Twin", Sakura said and ran off.

They chased Sakura. Mei-ling pulled out her cell and quickly dialed Li's number.

"Li!"

"Mei-ling?"

"The twin card, it's … we have to capture it again!"

"What?"

"Li! You have to come!"

"Okay, I'm coming. Where?"

"Where we last caught them."

Mei-ling hung up and reached Sakura. The "twins" were there.

They looked at the girls curiously and turned to run. Syaoran, Eriol, and Elrojo arrived a moment later. "Li, c'mon!" Mei-ling screamed. Syaoran followed the twins with Mei-ling beside him. Celina watched them as they begin to fight against them. Their swift kicks and punches were easily dodged.

Sakura looked worried. How did they get so much better?

Celina looked at Sakura. I have to do something. "Joe?"

Elrojo turned to her, "What?"

"Can you still fight like them?"

"Yea … only if you are up to it though."

Celina nods, "I am."

"Mei-ling!" Celina screamed. Mei-ling turned. "You and Li take one and Elrojo and I will take the other." Mei-ling nodded.

Celina took a deep breath and looked at Elrojo. "Ready?" Elrojo nods and they charge at the enemy.

They repeated the tactics Mei-ling and Syaoran used. Celina aimed to attack the left side as Elrojo attack the right.

It tried to concentrate in defending itself from the attackers but attacks were coming from left and right. It felt a swift kick on it's back and flew to Sakura's feet. It turned its head and saw its twin right next to it.

Celina watched Sakura seal the card. She looked around, everyone was relieved. She did not know what came over her, she ran away from her friends. She heard them calling out for her but she ignored them. She ran to the beach and sat down gazing up into the sky. She heard footsteps and turned around to see Eriol walking towards her.

"Hey, you just ran off there. Are you okay?"

"Yeah … I am alright."

"You are not freaked out or anything by that display?"

"What? Nah … that was not the reason why I ran away."

"Is it because of Joe?'

"Humph, yeah. Every time I am around him, it will bring back memories. Every time I talk to him it reminds me why I hate him. Just remembering why I hate him, I will only realize why I can't fully hate him."

"Huh?"

"Never mind. Are you planning to tell me what is with Sakura and you guys?"

"Uhh … yeah."

"Okay, let's start with Sakura."

"Sakura is well, the mistress of a group of powerful cards known as the clow cards. You see, these cards have special powers, you just seen the twin card, there is a bunch more, like the time card. This card freezes time and there is the wind card which …"

"Produces wind? Okay how do you fit in this?"

"I was one of the people who test her, to see if she was worthy."

"Oh, what about Li?"

"He was one of the people who were competing with Sakura to become the master of the clow cards."

"Cool, Mei-ling?"

"She and Li knew each other and she wants to help which she did. You just saw how she helps and when Sakura was sick, she helped Sakura capture the card."

"And Tomoyo?"

"She records the adventures."

"Cool", Celina got up and dug her fingers in the snow. She pulled out a nicely wrapped present that was small enough to fit in a pocket.

"Here, this is your Christmas present." She said smiling.

Eriol pulled out a small box that was also wrapped and handed it to Celina, "And this is yours."

Eriol shook the box and heard no jingle. "Don't break it", Celina joked. Eriol shrugged, "Can I open it?" Celina nodded. Eriol ripped the wrapping off and saw something black. He looked at it, "What is this?" Celina took it and pressed a button, the device opened and parts from the side come out. It revealed a laptop. "That's interesting." Eriol said taking the laptop. "Always keep it with you okay?" Celina said. Eriol nodded in response. "So, am I allowed to open mine?" Celina smiled sweetly. Eriol nods. Celina carefully opened the package and it was a pretty red box. She opened it to see a necklace. "Thank you!" Celina hugs Eriol and then jumps up.

"I got to go. Thanks for the necklace though."

"Let me put it on you."

Celina nodded and handed the box to Eriol. He carefully took the necklace out and walked over to Celina. Celina picked up her hair as Eriol placed the necklace around her neck. After he was done, Celina turned to him, "If you are not doing anything tomorrow, would you mind to have Christmas dinner with me?

Celina waited for him to respond but he just stood there, "I am going to ask Sakura later, since the others have other things to do. You can also bring you relatives."

Eriol nods, "I will try my best to come."

"Great!" Celina runs off.

Kinomoto's Residence

Sakura collapsed on her bed. "Sakura, relax" Kero said hovering above the girl. "She was freaked out. What other reason can there be that would make her run away like that?"

"Sakura …" Kero began only to be interrupted by Touya.

"Sakura, pick up the phone!"

Sakura reached for the phone, "Hello?"

"Hi!"

"Lina?"

"Who else?"

"No one."

There was a brief awkward silence.

"Would you like to come to my Christmas party? Your family could come if they wish."

"I will ask my dad, hold on."

"My dad says okay, if it is not too much trouble for you."

"No trouble at all, is your brother coming?"

"Yeah, I was wondering, my brother's friend Yuki wants to come along. Is he allowed?"

"Yep, I will pick you up around 10 okay?"

"Uhh … sure."

Christmas

"SAKURA! GET UP, YOU LAZY BUTT!" said the one and only Touya. Sakura rolled over, mumbling about how she was so tired and deserved 5 more minutes. "SAKURA, YOU HAVE EXACTLY 30 MINUTES TO GET OUT OF THAT BED!" Sakura closed her eyes, trying to remember what was happening today. Hmms … lets see. I capture the twin card again. Celina ran … CELINA! The party … OMG THE CHRISTMAS PARTY! Sakura leaped from her bed and ran into the bathroom. "TOUYA, CALL MY FRIEND TO TELL HER TO PICK UP ERIOL FIRST!" "Alright squirt."

Sakura took a quick shower; blow dried her hair, and put on a pretty pink dress that almost touched the floor. She started to brush her hair when she heard a car beeping. "Sakura, your friend is here, hurry up!"

"Okay, I will be down in a minute." Sakura finished brushing her hair, put on silver earring, and put on matching shoes for her dress. She quickly walked downstairs, and went into the limo. She saw Celina, Eriol, Naruku, and Touya all sitting down. She put the little bag carrying Kero next to her. They all were dressed wonderfully except Celina. Naruku wore black dress that stopped on her knees; she looked so beautiful that Touya was constantly glancing at her. Celina on the other hand, wore jean and a t-shirt. She then noticed Supi resting on Naruku's lap.

"I do not remember I ever told any of you to dress so formal." Celina said crossing her arms, looking at everyone.

Sakura looked at her and knew Celina was embarrassed and annoyed. "We just thought it would be a formal party since you are …"

Celina sighed, "We are going horse back riding, a water gun fight if you wish, ice skating, and a bunch more activities. Then of course we will be back around 7 for the formal party which Mei-ling and the others will be attending. But, what would it matter, if you would like to get your dresses and suits wet and dirty, be my guest."

They all looked at each other, "Can we go back to our homes?"

Everyone had changed and brought their clothes for the party along. Everyone was now wearing jeans, t-shirts and a big coat. After everyone was settled and they picked up Yukito along the way, they drove for an hour or so and they reached a ranch.

Celina jumped out and ran to the stables. Everyone slowly followed her since they were stretching from the ride. Celina started to scream, "Midnight Star! Midnight Star!"

A horse came running towards Celina. The horse was a palomino, its white mane danced widely in the cold wind. When the horse reached Celina, everyone could clearly see it was not a full grown horse but not a colt either.

Celina brushed Midnight Star's mane and suddenly galloping was heard. Elrojo was charging towards Celina and stopped just 2 feet away.

"What could you possibly be doing here?"

"Just riding, even if it is not exactly the perfect weather to ride." Elrojo glanced around and spotted Sakura and Eriol. "I presume all of you are also going riding?"

The two nodded. "Wonderful, go head to my stable over there and pick a horse." "Sure", Sakura said heading toward the stables. Touya and Yukito followed Sakura as Naruku, Eriol, and Supi followed Celina. They walked to the stable with Midnight closely behind them.

Eriol and Naruku looked around and were amazed by all the different horses. "Do you have any recommendation?" Eriol asked. "No, they are all fairly well if you can ride them properly." Celina said grabbing all the equipment needed. She gave them to Eriol and Naruku.

"I am going to go ride around. If you need any help just ask. Bye!" Celina got onto Midnight Star and rode off.

Sakura

Sakura walked into the stable and picked the first horse she saw. She brought the horse to the snowy field. Touya and Elrojo were closely behind her with their horses. Elrojo patted his horse and climbed onto the horse. The horse was very much similar to Celina, it was a palomino but it was a lot larger. Touya and Yukito hopped onto the horse and rode off. (Touya and Yukito is such a good horse rider blahs … I don't know this part just play a long cause I really don't know ;x I shall continue now)

Sakura got onto the horse and tried to make it move but it was not going anywhere. She looked at it confused, "Giddy yup?" The horse started to run unexpectedly. "STOP! JOE, HOW DO YOU MAKE IT STOP?" Sakura screamed. She heard Elrojo laughing, he caught up to Sakura in a few seconds, and he grabbed the rein and pulled it hard. The horse eventually stopped. Elrojo held his laughter, "You can capture clow cards but you cannot ride a horse."

Sakura caught her breath and stuck her tongue at him. In moments Celina suddenly came. "Are you okay Sakura?" Sakura nodded. Elrojo's horse went towards Midnight Star, they both neighed.

Celina smiled and patted the horse, "How are you doing Demon?" She got off Midnight Star and turned to Sakura, "You could ride Midnight Star. It is a lot easier to ride her and a lot more fun. You could plainly tell her to go faster, slower, stop, and go."

Sakura shook her head, "But, that is your horse. What horse are you going to ride then?"

Celina smiled, "Demon."

"What! Then which horse am I going to ride?"

"The one Sakura is on, since that is your horse and I am not going back to my stable to get a horse, besides I would like to have some time with Demon."

Elrojo muttered something, and got off his horse. Sakura got onto Midnight Star and rode off, she had thought she heard them arguing about something but did not stay to figure out if they were.

"Faster", Sakura commanded and sure enough the horse went faster. The wind dancing on her face was amazing. She felt she was free and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes and saw a lady staring at her. Sakura blinked, she could not believe anyone would be riding in this weather. When she opened her eyes, the lady was no longer there. "I must be seeing things." Sakura hoped. The feeling spooked her, yet she had this warm feeling. She could not get a close look on the woman but it felt she had seen her somewhere. She tried to shake off the feeling but it was no use. Her mind was thinking about the woman she saw earlier. She suddenly heard a voice and realized she still had her bag with her. "Are you okay Sakura?" Kero spoke in a whisper. Sakura nodded.

Sakura reached to the stable and was amazed that everyone was back from their ride. "Celina, has anyone else come for a ride?"

"Not that I know of, but I will ask Oscar."

"Oscar!"

A man in his 50s came walking towards Celina, "Yes ma'am?"

"Have there been any other visitors besides us?"

"No, since no one is as crazy as you people to be riding in the winter but you can double check with Joe."

"That is very nice to know. Thank you anyway." She turned to Sakura, "Come with me, I need to go check Joe's stable."

Sakura followed Celina to the other stable. "Joe? Micheal?" Celina screamed. Elrojo came walked towards them, "What?"

"Has there been anyone who asked for a horse or anyone that came by your stable?"

"Not that I know of, why are you asking?"

"Sakura said she saw someone."

"Well, if your stable did not see anything neither did mine then perhaps you are seeing things because no one is allowed to walk in the field unless accompanied with a horse. I also doubt anyone would be walking in the field in this kind of weather."

Celina Chen Residents

They all (except Joe) arrived to Celina house and when they entered the house, the place was amazing. It gave an amazing Christmas feeling. The colors red and green were everywhere; white cotton was placed for the snow and blue snowflakes dangled from the ceiling.

"Its' beautiful!" The females exclaimed. "You all can go change in the guest room. Marie, bring our guests to the guest room please." A brunette lady walked towards them, she was in her late 20s and stood about 5'6.

"Please follow me", she said.

By the time they finished, Li, Mei-ling, and Tomoyo arrived and Celina was no where in sight. Marie welcomed the guests and told them to sit in the guest room. Sakura sat with Tomoyo and Mei-ling, while Li and Eriol sat next to each other. Touya, Naruku, and Yuki explored the mansion.

"Marie?" Tomoyo said.

"Yes?"

"How long have you known Celina?"

"Well, since she was a little girl. I took care of her; I am kind of like her nanny. Her parents were constantly busy and I had to keep Celina on schedule."

"Keep her on schedule?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, such as the time she has to get up, eat breakfast, work, practice sports and the violin. She can never get off the schedule, if she does; she would be late and sometimes might even get punished. Her schedule was rough so her parents hired a tutor instead of going to school. She had various tutors to teach her different subjects. Her play time was always limited, and I mean even through the summer, weekends and holidays. Sometimes she would work the whole day and just go to bed."

"She didn't play with her friends?" Mei-ling asked disbelievingly.

"Friends? She has no time for them."

"What about her parents? I do not see them around." Eriol asked.

"Her parents … they …"

As if cue, visitors came pouring into the mansion. Marie got up to greet them. Sakura and the others quickly left because a crowd was filling the living room. Sakura went upstairs and went on a balcony, staring at the night sky. It was beautiful outside and it was snowing. Sakura shivered, but still stayed outside. The stars were shining and the snow sparkled.

"Hey Sakura", a voice said. Sakura turned around and saw Li. Sakura did not answer and turned around to stare at the stars. Li watched her for a moment and waited for an answer but, she did not say a word after she turned to the stars. Li looked up at the night sky, the snow was falling peacefully.

"Why have you been avoiding me?" Li asked softly, as if he was afraid someone was listening.

"Why did you come back?" Sakura replied still staring at the stars.

"Because there was something wrong with the …"

"Clow cards."

"Sakura …" Li walked towards Sakura so quietly that you could not hear him. He took her hand and turned her around to face him. Their faces only inches away from each other. "The reason why I wanted to come back was because I missed you …"

Sakura stared at Li, how she loved his chestnut hair and chocolate eyes. She opened her mouth to reply but a voice interrupted her.

Touya walked to the balcony and opened the slid door, "Hey Squirt, time to go back …" He looked at Li and gave him a death glare, "What do you think you are doing to my sister?" "Nothing", Li said. He broke away from Sakura and walked out. Touya watched him until he was out of sight, "What did he do?" Sakura shook her head and went downstairs.

Sakura saw Celina in a long red cocktail dress, diamond earrings dangled from her ears, her hair was put in a bun. Celina was talking with many adults and teens around their age. Once Celina spotted Sakura, she gave a look that told Sakura to save her. Sakura walked up to Celina, "Hi, wow you look great." Sakura gave Celina a hug like they have not seen each other in ages. "Well, I will leave you ladies alone", a man said.

"Thank you! I could not stand another moment." Celina smiled. Eriol walked towards them, "Hmm ... you are popular." "I am hosting this party, dummy. Anyhow, can you get something for me, Eriol? It's in my room on my desk. Thank you." It seemed more like a command rather than a request but Eriol went to get it anyway.

He walked up the stairs and it took a while to find her room, but he eventually did. The window was open which caused the room to be cold. He walked toward the table and was about to grab the paper but a gust of wind blew it on the floor. He picked up the paper and saw something under her bed. He told himself to just leave and that it would probably be her diary. He went to see what it was anyway. He picked up the book and flipped to a page. He nearly dropped the book when he read the first line.

This is the end of this chapter. I am so sorry it took so long. Besides the fact I was lazy, school was ending and you know how it is. You start slacking off, but I thought I would say sorry by writing this extra long chapter. I even put a Sakura and Li moment! I was thinking of putting those moment a lot later in the story but, you know, I'm nice xP. Review please and I might make the next chapters this long

Anyways, who was that lady Sakura saw?
