Alright guys, thank you sooo much for the reviews and feedback first off. I'm so happy I have so many people reading and faving it so early on. This chapter is going to be pretty fast paced, with a lot of stuff happening, so I'm sorry if it's a little confusing. But things are finally starting to happen! I'm so excited to get this story really going. Anyway, here you go:

oOoOo

They drove down the streets of Tokyo in silence. It took a good hour to get out of the mess of Narita International Airport and into the heart of the city. Soon Sakura felt like she was in her own territory. However, her thoughts were aflutter. She had no idea what to do. The girl was riding in the car with a leader of one of the most notorious mafia gangs in the world; she was not scared.

'Are you crazy Sakura? You should be terrified! What the hell is wrong with you?' She thought to herself. She had remained silent since Xiao Lang's admittance to his position.

The car pulled up to a tall building, "Let's go."

Looking up, Sakura stared at the man's amber eyes, "Why?"

"We are going up to your house of course. I'll get your suitcase. You get some better clothes for the rest of our trip."

Nodding, Sakura placed her high-heeled foot out of the car and looked at her familiar apartment building. She heard the trunk slam shut as Xiao Lang had picked up her small travel suitcase. The girl did not want to ask any questions, feeling she already knew as much information that she wanted to know, "My keys are in the side pocket…"

Xiao Lang dug around and pulled out the small keychain, handing it to her, "Here. Time to go up. We're not spending a whole lot of time here."

Sakura led the way as they entered her building, and a man dressed in a suit greeted her, "Good afternoon Kinomoto-san! We weren't expecting you home so soon!"

"I came home early Tanaka-san. No need to worry. I'll just go up now."

The man nodded and pushed a button on the elevator, "Well I'm glad to see you home safe, have a good day, Kinomoto-san." The button rang and the doors opened. Sakura felt Xiao Lang's hand brush against the small of her back as he ushered her inside the box. It caused shivers to run up her spine, and not just shivers of pleasure but of strength.

The ride up was silent.

oOoOo

"Kero-chan!" A small, orange ear twitched, "Kero-chan!"

"Go away," A small voice murmured, "I'm having a good dream."

Delicate laughter broke out, "You silly stuffed animal. It's time to wake up. You've been sleeping far too long. Don't you have someone you need to be with?"

An eye opened up, "Huh? No, I just need to sleep in my dreams."

Dark, curly strands of hair blew in front of the creatures face, "You only believe that you should be sleeping. But there is much more for you to be doing. The one who you protect has slowly started waking up from her own dreams. It's time for you too."

"Why?"


"Because Clow wants it to be so. His descendants somehow managed to freeze everything. But someone has set things in motion. And danger is coming soon. You must make sure your mistress is ready."

Both eyes opened, and the orange creature sat up from his little ball, "What do you mean? My mistress…"

"It's a pity you forgot. Fortunately for you, I am capable of fixing that. Unfortunately for her, it's going to hurt a lot. But when it's all over, everything will be fine."

"What's your name?"

"My name? Silly Kero-chan, it's Tomoyo!"

oOoOo

A bright light could be seen glowing from the desk drawer. The entire office was dark and no one was about. A rattling sound was heard, and the glowing outline faded away. The drawer shot outward as it was forced open, and suddenly a creature flew out of its confines.

Glancing down into the drawer, Kero stared at the book of Clow Reed, "What has happened? Why was I in that book?" He poked at his forehead trying to remember something important. He was distracted by the sound of a key in the door. Looking about, Kero saw an air vent and dashed to it. He flew in just as the door opened and the lights turned on.

Kero saw a tall man with black hair and round-rimmed glasses. He looked startlingly familiar. He walked to the desk and froze when he saw his drawer open, "What??" Pulling out the book, he ran a hand over the cover, "Where have you gone, Kero-chan? Who set you free?"

Removing his glasses, the man sat down in his chair and rubbed his eyes, placing the book on the desk. The decorations on the book seemed to be diminished, "Hopefully it's not a bad thing…"

Kero flew away from the office and tried to find a way out of the building thinking, 'Sakura. That is who I must find!'

oOoOo

Xiao Lang was surveying the girl's apartment while she was locked up in her room. He had noticed the spacious living room immediately. She definitely lived in style, with the wide windows and a simple, but luxurious décor. Hearing her move from one room to the other, and a shower turn on, the man turned to a counter in her kitchen and saw an envelope with a familiar label on it. This was what he had requested from his men.

Opening it, some papers slid out of the envelope and he grabbed the first one. Her name and photo were on it, along with her date of birth and the general details. He noticed her home town was Tomoeda. The town was a match from what his sister had said in the tape recording. Narrowing his eyes, he flipped to another page. It told of her entire history, every school she had been to, every place she had lived. A list of names who were closely involved with her was labeled, 'Kinomoto Fujitaka, father; Kinomoto Touya, brother; Tsukishiro Yukito, deceased; Daidouji Tomoyo, deceased. Only four names and half were dead.

It looked like the Tsukishiro kid had died of some sort of disease around the time Sakura was ten, and Tomoyo only in the recent years. Sakura was in her early twenties now. Skimming down the rest of the list, he came up to a name that caught his eyes, Hiiragizawa Eriol. He had only been in Tomoeda for a year, if even, but it was when she was ten. The same year as the death of Tsukishiro, and the same year that Xiao Lang lacked memories of. This girl had to be the Kinomoto his family referred to. There was no mistake.

oOoOo

The sound of sheets rustling was the only indication that someone was in the gently glowing room. A monitor that was recording statistics of sorts was silently working. Another movement causes one of the lines to spike high, and a beep began to go off. Sharp breathing suddenly made itself known, and a door flew open as the lights flickered on.

Men dressed in white coats brought in a cart full of different pieces of equipment as they moved to the person struggling to breathe on the bed.

"Contact the President!" One doctor said as he pulled out his stethoscope, and placed it on the patient's chest, "His heart rate is responsive!"

"Unbelievable," Another person murmured. This doctor was placing small wires on the unconscious patient's shaved head. As he was doing so, another screen was reacting colorfully.

Before the doctors could do anything else, the young adult sat up in the bed, one silver, and one dark, wide open. He pulled at the tubes that were going down his throat, and somehow managed to pull them out. Tearing off another hose, he gasped for breath, "Judgment," He said his voice hoarse and barely heard.

"What happened!?" A man dressed in a dark suit entered, and saw the scene before him.

"We don't know, Hiiragizawa-sama! The monitor just started to go off, and his heart rate became normal and he has brain activity. Just look at him!"

The man with dark hair and round-rimmed glasses stared in astonishment, "Yue-san, you are awake!" He walked forward, and snapped at the doctors, "Get this stuff off him. Get all the equipment out!"

"Yes sir! Call us if you need anything sir!" The doctors grabbed everything and left.

Sitting down on the edge of the bed as the door shut, Hiiragizawa said, "Do you remember who I am?"

Still breathing heavily, he said, "You are Hiiragizawa Eriol, reincarnation of Clow Reed. We are Tsukishiro Yukito and Yue all the same."

"Amazing," Eriol responded, staring at the different colored eyes, "How is this possible?"

Staring at his own hands, he said, "We don't know. We remember something happening involving the power of Clow. All of a sudden, it faded away from us, draining us of our strength, nearly killing us in the process. But someone saved us, and here we are, but now one body and soul."

Smiling, Eriol said, "Well, I guess we need to figure out how to address you. You must adjust to having two minds as one. And finally, you are awake for a reason. It can only mean one thing. Someone is working for us, and has broken whatever seal the Li-clan placed on the power."

Shifting, Eriol stood, and allowed the guardian space to move.

When he looked up, his eyes were solid brown, "Why did Yue go away?" He asked confused.

"I guess he decided that sharing the body at the same time is tiring. This is interesting. I will get you something to eat, and we will work on getting you ready to go back to the public, and to your duty."

Silver eyes flashed momentarily, "No need to go searching for Sakura. She will come to us first. All we have to do is wait."

oOoOo

The hot water scalded Sakura as she sat in her tub, thinking. Xiao Lang was less than twenty feet away from her, in her home, and he was managing to get her to do whatever he wanted without complaint. Slamming her fist into the water, Sakura murmured, "Stupid Sakura! You should be telling him what to do, doing things on your own terms. This bastard has no right. I did nothing to him, and definitely did nothing to the yakuza."

Sakura was starting to feel a slight pressure on her head, but she shook it off as a result of the hot water, 'Alright, when I get out of the tub, I'm going to tell him to leave me alone and never come back. I don't have to go anywhere else with him.' As the seconds passed, the pressure continued to build up, and started to become a sharp pain, "Why does my head hurt…"

Standing up, Sakura swayed dizzily. She grabbed onto a rail, trying to steady herself. Suddenly, she could not contain it any longer. The pain became unbearable in an instant.

oOoOo

"AAAH!"

A piercing scream brought Xiao Lang out of the little biography he was reading. Sakura continued to scream, and he rushed towards her bathroom door, "Kinomoto, what's going on in there!?" However, the screaming didn't stop. And he decided he needed to check it out, whether she liked it or not.

He attempted to open the door, but it was locked tight. Sighing, he decided to force it open. He could get his people to fix it later on, "I'm coming in now!" He highly doubted she heard him, because she simply continued yelling, "It hurts! It hurts!"

The sight that met Xiao Lang's eyes was one of beauty and pain. The girl was sprawled on her knees, clenching her head as she leaned it against the bathtub. Her naked form was pink from the hot bath that was still steaming next to her. From behind, Xiao Lang got a small glimpse of the curve of her breast, before he shook himself out of it. Her fingers were clenched in her hair as some pain invaded her senses. Looking around, he spotted a towel, and grabbing it walked to her.

Wrapping her up in it, he picked her up and took her back to her bedroom, putting her on the bed. While doing all this, the yelling turned into murmurs, but she was still repeating the same thing, "It hurts." Tears were sliding down her cheeks, causing her face to become more flushed than it already was.

"What's wrong Kinomoto?" He tried to ask her, but Sakura ignored him. Her auburn hair looked much darker wet, he noticed, as he ran his hand through her hair trying to find a bump, thinking she had hit her head.

Forcing her face up to look at him, he checked her eyes. Her pupils looked fine, but her green eyes were glowing strangely, "What the..?" But he didn't have time to finish his phrase, because she passed out in front of him, falling back onto the bed, and Xiao Lang lost control of his mind, and blacked out.

oOoOo

"What is going on!?" A powerful wind was blowing inside the temple a group of people were in.

A tall woman dressed in traditional Chinese clothing stepped forward to answer the question asked, "Well obviously our seal was broken. That was the only seal capable of keeping the powers once released at bay. The fact that it is broken means only one thing," Her black eyes penetrated everyone's gaze, "The power we once concealed has been released."

"Why now? If the seal were going to be broken, why now, at least ten years after the incidents occurred?"

"Obviously, that power wants to attack and make its move. Unfortunately for my son, this means that he will now know everything that has happened in the past. Our seal that had protected the world from the evil entities, made us seal away all the magic from our distant relative. It looks like that time is over, and the time of magic has begun.

oOoOo

Well, I know this chapter is shorter than the previous one, but a whole lot of stuff happened huh? I would love to hear you guys' thoughts about it. I love it when I hear the different theories etc. So next chapter, I'm pretty sure you will be introduced to the official antagonist. I'm still working on getting a solid idea for him or her. So until next time! Hope all of you had great spring breaks, I know I did. Bye!
