A/N Someone asked if this was before or after Sakura turned the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards. It's after she turns them. I know she's suppose to have wings on her back when using the fly card but since I've already written it like this lets just say that she can also still use the fly card on her staff. ok?

Sakura suddenly started to feel lightheaded. Her vision blurred and she started to sway. "Sakura?" she heard someone call to her but before she could answer everything turned black.

Sakura found herself in a dark hallway and at the end was someone standing in the light. She started to slowly walk up to that person. With every step she took she got a more clear outline of the person but could not see who it was. The figure belonged to a guy a little taller then her. She was only a few steps away from him when the floor gave away and she started falling. She fell on a soft, dirt ground. She stood up and found herself in the front yard of the Li mansion. All of a sudden, out of nowhere a burst of fire surrounded her and through the fire came the guy from the hallway. He had a sword in his hand. He lifted it and whispered, "Good night, Card Mistress." The sword swooped it's way down on her...

Sakura screamed and sat up hastily knocking her head against Syaoran's. "OW!" they yelled in unison.

"Sakura are you ok?" Kero asked.

Sakura looked around and saw everyone had surrounded her as she lay on the ground of the study. Then her eyes landed on Syaoran...

She quickly looked away and stood up. She stumbled but Yue held her up. "Are you all right Mistress?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about." She stood by herself and tried to put on a happy smile. "I must still be jet lagged from the plane."

"Do you want anything, my dear?" Yelan asked her.

Sakura shook her head and started towards the door. "No. I think I'm just going to go up to my room and get some rest." She smiled at everyone and walked out of the room. As soon as she was far enough she broke into a run.

When she got to her room she immediately shut the door and leaned against it. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. What am I going to do?" She fell to the floor and started crying.

Back at the study room, everyone was having a heated discussion as to what was the reason for Sakura's fainting spell.

"It was the brat's fault I'm telling you!" Kero yelled.

"He was standing in front of you the entire time! How could he be the one responsible for this?" Meilin yelled at him.

"He used magic. Duh!" Kero stuck his tongue out at her.

Meilin growled and grabbed his tongue and pulled it. Everyone except Yue and Syaoran rushed to separate the two. "Listen here you little stuffed doll! My cousin is a nice person! He doesn't use magic on other people! How dare you even suggest it!"

Syaoran was looking out the window at the garden, thinking over everything that had happened recently. Was he really a danger to Sakura? It was obvious that he was against her being there but he would never do anything to hurt someone? Then he remembered the terrified look in Sakura's eyed when she looked at him. Would he?

Yue examined him closely. There was something about him that gave him an uneasy feeling. Syaoran turned and met his eyes. Yue looked back at the struggle between Meilin and Kero.

A few hours later, Sakura was laying down on her bed resting when a knock came on the door. She got up and walked to the door but hesitated to open it. "Who is it?"

"It's me, Meilin." Her voice came from the other side of the door. Sakura sighed and opened the door.

Meilin came up to her and hugged her. "How are you feeling?"

Sakura closed the door and walked back to the bed. "Fine." Meilin glared at her. "Ok I'm a little shaken."

"Yue said you probably had a premonition when you fainted. Is that true?"She sat next to her.

"Well I saw something but I'm not sure if it was a premonition. I usually only have those when I'm sleeping."

"Well what is it that you saw?"

Sakura looked at the ground and recalled the terror she had felt when the sword was coming towards her. She gasped and put her hand on her throat. Meilin took her hand and whispered with concern, "Are you all right?"

Tears started falling down her perfect complection. "Oh Meilin. It was so scary! It felt so real!"

Sakura put her head on Meilin's shoulder and cried as she tried to calm her. "I'll get someone to bring up lunch and I'll stay with you for the rest of the day. How does that sound?"

"Good."

It was near dinner time and the girls were getting ready to go down when the lights suddenly went out. After they came back on a few seconds later a faint scream caught their attention.

"Did you hear that?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah." Meilin opened the door and stuck out her head. The hallways were quiet. Too quiet. "Something's wrong."

"What?" Sakura got her cards and walked down the hallway next to Meilin.

"I don't know."

From behind them came faded sounds of footsteps. They whirled around to see who had made the noise but there was no one there.

"This place isn't haunted is it?" Sakura asked.

Meilin giggled. "Oh yeah."

Sakura gasped. Meilin raised a brow at her. "Are you serious? You believe in ghosts?"

Sakura shook her head vigorously. Then her eyes widened at something behind Meilin. Seeing the fear in her eyes, Meilin turned around to see what had caused it. She saw the shadow of a person walking towards the hallway they were in. Meilin grabbed her arm and led her towards a small table that held a priceless vase on it. She pushed her under the table and got under it herself.

They stayed there motionless and heard the footsteps get closer until it was in their view. The person walked slowly down the corridor until he reached the table the girls were hiding under and then stopped.

Sakura and Meilin were holding their breaths.

Suddenly the person bent down and came face to face with them. The girls closed their eyes and let our terrified screams. After a few second of screaming they realized that the person hadn't done anything to them so they opened their eyes and saw Syaoran staring at them. "You are so pathetic," he told them both. He got up and let them get out.

Sakura stood behind Meilin for she was still unsure of who that person was in her dream and if it had been Syaoran then she had to be very careful around him.

"What are you doing here?" Meilin yelled at him.

"I heard a scream and I went to see what it was but I couldn't find anyone," he explained.

"Did you check on the others? Are the OK?" Meilin asked.

"That's what I meant by 'I couldn't find anyone.' There's nobody here. I don't sense any of their auras. It's liked they just disappeared."

"Please tell me that's a normal thing around here," Sakura begged.

"I'm afraid not." Meilin took her shaking hand.

"Then where are they and why did only they disappear?" Sakura looked at Syaoran suspiciously.

"You think I did this?" Syaoran saw the accusing look in her eyes.

"No!" she said hastily. She saw a hint of sadness in his eyes and looked down to stop herself from feeling guilty.

"I'm sure that's not what she think. Now lets go try to figure out what happened to the others." Meilin led them down the corridor.

As they descended down the stairs a soft melody filled the place. "I thought you said everyone disappeared," Meilin said as Syaoran went ahead of her in case of protection.

"They did. I'm still not sensing any auras. Are you?"

"I can't sense auras you know that, idiot!" Meilin exclaimed.

Syaoran stopped and turned around. "I was asking Sakura, idiot!"

"Oh." Meilin and Syaoran both looked at Sakura for conformation.

Sakura closed her eyes and focused her energy on sensing her surroundings. There was a very strong aura close by and she assumed it was Syaoran's but besides that she also couldn't feel anything. Then something familiar struck in her mind. She opened her eyes and ran towards the soft melody coming from one of the rooms.

"Sakura!" Meilin and Syaoran both yelled as they also ran after her.

"I know this song!" She exclaimed.

They followed her into a room and ran into her for she was standing right by the doorway. They followed her gaze and saw a man on the piano playing a soft melody. Syaoran stood in front of the girls protectively.

The man finished playing and turned around to face them.

"Eriol!" Sakura exclaimed and ran to hug her friend.

"Hello Sakura." He hugged her and then faced Meilin and Syaoran. "Hello to you too my little descendants."

"Eriol." They replied at the same time dryly.

Sakura looked back and forth between them. "You guys know each other?"

Eriol chuckled. "Of course Sakura. After all they are the descendants of my past self."

Sakura looked thoughtful for a moment then asked, "What are you doing here?"

Eriol looked at her. "Well it seemed like big things were about to happen and I just couldn't stay away."

"What kind of big things?" The other three asked.

"It wouldn't be any fun if I just told you! You have to figure that out by yourselves."

"Always with the mystery. This is why I can't stand you. You never give anyone real answers." Syaoran crossed his arms and scowled. "I bet you have something to do with the disappearance of the others."

"Oh my dear descendant you're wrong. They haven't disappeared. You have."

"Huh?" Meilin and Sakura looked at him confused.

"You see, I am here to test you." He explained further.

"But I thought all the testing would've stopped after I changed all the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards."

He chuckled. "My dear, life never stops testing you so neither will I. But I'm not here to only test you..." He looked to Syaoran. "Something has recently caught my eye and I must say it's a very fascinating... thing." He smirked and turned back to Sakura.

Meilin seemed to catch on to what he was thinking and smirked. "Oh! I get it!"

Eriol and Meilin shared a secret smile and then he said, "Well Meilin and I best be on our way."

"What!" Sakura and Syaoran exclaimed.

"She is not the one I came here to test, you are. So we will leave you two to figure out a way back to our dimension." Eriol smirked and stood next to Meilin and summoned his staff.

"Wait but how are we suppose to do that! I don't know anything about dimension traveling!" Sakura exclaimed.

Syaoran seemed rather calm however.

Sakura saw this and freaked out even more. Why was he so calm? Was it because if they were left alone then he could have a chance to kill her? That is if he was even the one from her so-called premonition.

Eriol smirked at the two. "You seem rather calm dear descendant."

Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Dimension traveling is a piece of cake. I'll have us back there before you can say 'I'm a stupid moron'."

Eriol's grin widened. "In that case I should make this more challenging. Have fun!"

With that said he slammed the end of his staff on the floor and a bright light engulfed the room.

When Sakura and Syaoran opened their eyes they were standing inside a club that looked like it belonged in the 1800's. Everything was colorful. Men were dressed in tuxes and women were dressed in elegant gowns. On the stage was a man playing the piano and a woman sitting on it, singing.

Sakura looked down at her clothes and noticed they were different. She was now wearing a green gown that was like a corset at the top and flared down at the bottom. She saw Syaoran looking at his clothes too. He was wearing a tux like all the other guys. They looked at each other, puzzled. Then in a puff a piece of paper appeared in front of them.

Syaoran took it and read it out loud. "'In case you're confused, this is a role playing game. You have to play it and win if you want to get out of there.' What is wrong with this guy? This doesn't test any of our magical skills!"

"No but it does test our thinking skills." Sakura said.

"Why are you defending him!" Syaoran asked.

"Why are you so against him!" Sakura yelled back.

"It's because he's a moron!"

"Or maybe it's because you're jealous he picked me as the Card Mistress and not you!"

"Oh please! I don't need to be the Card Master to be powerful! Even without them I have more power than you!"

"Uh, no you don't!"

"Yes I do!"

"No You don't"

"Yes I do!"

"Oh yeah? Well prove it!"

"I will!"

"Ahem." A voice interrupted their arguing.

"What!" They both exclaimed as they turned around to face the person who had dared to barge in their bickering.

A tall, bald man with a mustache glared at them. "You are disrupting my club. Please keep it down or I will have to ask you to leave."

"Fine." Syaoran mumbled.

The man glared at him and walked away.

"You need an attitude adjustment," Sakura said.

Syaoran growled and walked away. Sakura ran after him. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to figure out what is going on here so we can win this stupid game and be out of here already."

Sakura trailed behind him as he walked in-between groups of people who were having discussions. He stopped after he reached the stage. "I couldn't find anything in common in their conversations."

"I wonder what the purpose of the game is," Sakura wondered.

A young waitress came to Syaoran and offered him a drink. She flashed him a charming smile but he just waved her away. Disappointed, she left.

"That was mean," Sakura told him.

"I'm not in the mood to mess around. I just want to get out of here," he growled.

"Still, you could've just told her 'no thank you'."

Syaoran let out a frustrated sigh and faced her. "Why must you always argue with me?"

"I'm not arguing with you!" She exclaimed and walked away from him.

Syaoran sighed and rubbed his temples with his hands. "Oh Eriol. I'm going to kill you for this when I get back." He followed in the direction that Sakura left.

He looked around but couldn't find her anywhere. He noticed a group of men circled around something. He approached and to his surprised, they were all surrounding Sakura.

He laughed at the men's pitiful attempt of wooing her. Sakura seemed very uncomfortable and it seemed like every opportunity she got, she was trying to get away but they wouldn't let her, so she just smiled at them politely. Her eyes fell on Syaoran and they seemed to be begging him to come rescue her.

Syaoran just chuckled. He seemed to like watching Sakura get tortured so he just stood there and watched them try to impress her.

Suddenly a scream caught everyone's attention. It was the same one they had heard earlier in the Li Mansion. Everyone rushed to where the noise had come from.

They saw the bald man from earlier who had told them to be quiet, lying on the floor in a puddle of blood. Sakura gasped and hid behind Syaoran.

"Somebody murdered the club owner!" yelled a man.

The crowd buzzed. Who could've done it?

"Oh great!" Syaoran mumbled. "It's a murder mystery."

"But is the man really dead?" Sakura whimpered.

Then suddenly the whole room froze and Eriol appeared in front of them. "Well my dears, your time is up. Do you know who killed Mr. Bowmont?"

"His name is Mr. Bowmont?" Sakura asked cluelessly.

"How should we know? You didn't tell us to try and find out who was a possible murderer." Syaoran glared at him.

"He's not really dead though right?" Sakura asked.

"No he's not really dead and none of this is real. But your time is up and you do need to give me an answer now," Eriol explained.

Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Fine, well it's always the one you least suspect. Hmm... I'm going to have to say, Sakura."

"What!" Sakura yelled. "You think I killed Mr. Bowmont!"

"Yes."

"Well when would I have done it, Genius? I was with you the whole time until the mob of crazy guys came on to me! If anything it was you!"

"Me! Why do you always suspect me of everything?"

"I do not!"

"Yes you do! First you thought it was me who made everyone disappear and now this!"

"ENOUGH!"

They both stopped arguing and looked at Eriol. "Obviously you two failed this test." He sighed and then a small smile came on his face. "But that's all right because you can take it again!"

"What?" Sakura and Syaoran asked in unison.

"Yes, you will relive the night and this time you better pay more attention to things so you can figure out who is the murderer."

Before they could argue, a bright flash of light hit them and they were back where they started.

Syaoran sighed. "We might as well mingle and try to separate the potential murderers."

"But they're not real murderers are they?" Sakura shivered.

"No," he replied simply.

They walked up to Mr. Bowmont. He seemed to be having an argument with a young waitress. "I don't know why I hired you! You're useless! Get out of my sight!" He turned around and sighted them. He smiled and greeted them. "Good evening, sir. How are you doing ma'am?"

Syaoran and Sakura exchanged a look and then smiled back. "We're doing great. This is an amazing club you have here, Mr. Bowmont." Sakura curtsied.

The man chuckled, "Oh no I'm not Mr. Bowmont."

"You're not?" Syaoran asked.

"Well I am Mr. Bowmont but just not the Mr. Bowmont you're talking about."

They looked at him confused.

"You see, my twin brother owns the club. I'm only the manager."

"Oh!" They nodded in understanding.

"But people get us confused the whole time!" he laughed. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to go take care of some things." He walked away leaving them to think things over.

The young waitress that had offered Syaoran a drink before, came back. "Can I get you something to drink sir?"

Sakura glared at him. He sighed and mumbled. "No... thanks." Still, the girl frowned and walked away when she saw the angry stare in his eyes.

Sakura shook her head and sighed. "You need to be a little nicer to people or you're going to end up old, alone, and miserable."

Syaoran smirked. "Hopefully."

Sakura frowned. "That's not a nice way to live though. You'll miss out on all the good things in life!"

"Such as...?"

"Such as friendship, fun, youth,...love." Sakura had a dreamy look on her face.

He studied her face. He noticed, for the first time since they got there, that she looked older, and also more mature and beautiful than she had earlier. Maybe it was the way she was dressed. The way the beautilful gown hugged her body. She noticed his stare and blushed.

Just as they had done the night before, the mob of crazy men came up to Sakura and started showing off again. A miserable look came across Sakura's face. Syaoran hated that. That looked didn't match her.

He broke through the group of men and grabbed Sakura's hand. "I'm sorry to inform you all that this young lady is already taken." He kissed her hand and smiled at her charmingly.

Sakura was shocked. Syaoran was a fantastic actor!

Sakura played along and smiled back at him. She apologized to the others and walked away with her arm in Syaoran's. "You should become an actor," she giggled.

"Ah but I couldn't take all the obsessive girls just throwing themselves at my feet begging for a moment of my time," he said dramatically.

She laughed. He loved that sound. Syaoran smiled at her and they walked to an empty table. "So which Mr. Bowmont was the one that was killed? The club owner or the manager?" Sakura asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. I'll go find out if the club owner is here today." Syaoran got up and walked away. Sakura sat there and watched the woman on stage sing.

It was a beautiful ballad. Suddenly a young man came up to her and asked her to dance. She politely refused him and continued watching the singer. She had so much passion in her words.

The song was about a man that changed her life, turned her world upside down. They were two very different people but at the same time they were very similar. They felt the same way about each other and would gladly die for the other.

Something about the song touched her. It wasn't just the words either. It was also the way the she sang it. The woman had so much emotion in the words, like she was in love herself. Sakura wished she could know what that was like.

Suddenly the same scream that they had heard, came again. She ran to the scene of the crime and saw Syaoran was already there. A bright light flashed in the room and Eriol stood there again. "So have you guys figured out who done it yet?"

The two exchanged a grim look and said, "No."

Eriol sighed. "This will be your last chance to solve the mystery!"

And again, with another flash of light they went back in time. Both let out a frustrated sigh. "You know what? I think we should just go hide somewhere near the crime scene so we can see who kills him!" Syaoran suggested.

Sakura reluctantly agreed. They went to the less crowded place in the club where they had seen the dead body of Mr. Bowmont. They hid in a dark closet and waited.

And waited.

And waited...

Until the sounds of an argument approaching could be heard. They looked through the crack in the door and saw Mr. Bowmont talking to the young waitress that had tried to offer Syaoran a drink. "I think that's the same waitress that he was arguing with earlier." Sakura whispered.

"Shh!" Syaoran shushed her. They listened to the argument.

"You're doing this on purpose! You're telling them not to order anything from me because you so badly want to fire me!" The girl yelled.

"Don't be ridiculous! I have better things to do with my time than to concoct a plan to fire you!" Mr. Bowmont said gruffly.

The girl growled and took an empty beer bottle and smashed it on his head.

Sakura gasped and hid her face in Syaoran's chest.

Mr. Bowmont fell on the floor.

The girl screamed and ran away.

Syaoran wrapped his arms around Sakura and rubbed his arms up and down her back.

A flash of light filled the room and Eriol stood by the door. "You better have solved it this time!" He looked at them in the closet in each other's arms and raised a sly brow. "Exactly what are you two doing in a closet? And in each other's arms? From what I heard you two were not exactly fond of each other."

Syaoran and Sakura exchanged a look and practically flew apart.

Eriol smirked.

Syaoran hurriedly answered. "The waitress did it!"

Eriol nodded and said, "Good job." There was another flash of light and they were out of there.

"I think I'm going to be blind tomorrow from all this flashing." Sakura said. She opened her eyes and they were in the Li family common room. Everyone was sitting down, trying really hard to hide their amusement. "What is everyone looking at?"

Then they all cracked up. Even Yelan was laughing. Syaoran and Sakura looked at each other then back at a grinning Eriol. He just shrugged his shoulders and walked to sit on a couch.

Meilin ran up to them and said in between giggles. "Oh man, you guys are so funny! We saw everything on the tv!"

"The TV!" Both exclaimed.

Eriol smirked. "Well they wanted to see how the most brilliant and talented Sorcerer and Sorceress in the world were like on a mission together."

Their jaws dropped to the floor. "You mean, you saw everything?" Syaoran asked.

"Yup!" They all replied.

Syaoran groaned and walked out of the room.
