"Uh...A dream again? But, I don't recognize where I am..." Sakura whispered. Instead of the dark, black void, or the white void where Sakura saw that woman, the girl found herself surrounded by mirrors, showing off her reflection. Looking around, the magician saw now way out. Then, some of the reflections began to waver. Sakura stared at the wavering reflection to her left when all of the sudden, it changed into different woman. The woman had pure white, shoulder length hair, some of it was in two ponytails. She had a beige colored shirt inside her dark colored jacket with purple trimmings on it. In her gloved hands were a blue book and a shield with five different colored gems on it. She stared back at Sakura before pointing behind the girl, causing Sakura to turn her head. There, another of her reflection was gone and instead another woman. The woman had light black hair and violet colored eyes, and a white gown covered her. Suddenly, her eyes turned red, a picture of a red bird taking flight. The insignia also appeared on her chest where her heart was. A pair of blood red wings appeared behind her back. Looking closely, Sakura noticed two more after images like the woman stood next to her, but they were different. The one on the left was a male who had short black and a white, blue and yellow noble outfit. Both his eyes had the insignia, but he had no wings or one at his chest. On the right was remarkably similar to the woman in the middle, but she wore a black dress. She had the wings, but the insignia was not in her eyes or on her chest. All three bore their eyes into her, making Sakura uncomfortable. Suddenly, are her reflections were replaced with different people. One had green short hair and purple colored eyes who held dual blades. Another was wearing a purple mechanical suit with long flowing blonde hair and green eyes, holding a blade with pure red energy. One had blonde hair in two ponytails, her eyes a scarlet color. Another was a woman with snow white hair, her white dress covered with blood dripped down her fangs. When Sakura looked in front of her, the girl's eyes widen. Standing in front of her was the woman she met before. However, the blue parts on her hair and eyes were gone, replaced with another color-purple for her hair and gold for her eyes. The woman lifted up her arms.

"They're waiting for you...Your guardians...your creations...your children...They will slowly die without you...What will you do now?" The woman whispered. Then, the images all disappeared except for three of them. The woman with the blood red wings growled.

"Will you let me die again? Or will you save me from the abyss that has surrounded me?" The woman with the white hair and the blue book and shield frowned.

"Some of us have already died...but it was thanks to you that they were saved. But, what will you do to those who can't be saved again, like me?" She asked in a haunting voice. Sakura shook her head.

"Who are you? I never seen you before!" The woman with the multicolored eyes smiled sadly, and for some odd reason, Sakura's heart broke a little.

"You find out eventually...now, go back. You will wake up soon..." Then, the scene faded away, and Sakura was covered in the darkness.

...

As the light from outside hit her face, Sakura groaned as she buried her face into her pillow. Suddenly, she felt something warm hug her. Looking behind her, she saw Sinbad, in all his naked glory.

"..."


...

As a merchant was putting out his fresh carts of fruit, a scream resonated in the kingdom.

"KYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" With that scream quickly came the sound of someone being slap. The merchant shook his head.

"Another poor girl...I really think King Sinbad needs to stop doing these things."


...

"I apologize my Lady! I was sure the king was in his own room! I don't know how he got here!" Jaf'ar said as he bowed, along with seven other people. Sakura huffed in anger and turned the other way, unwilling to speak with them. When she had accepted their invitation to the palace, Sakura didn't expect to find herself with a naked man, IN THE SAME BED. Kero yawned lazily as he looked at the bowed generals.

"Yep, you goofed up big time. When Sakura gets mad, she REALLY gets mad. I'm surprise she hadn't murdered that guy right then and there!" Sakura confirmed that statement with a glare to Sinbad who had a reddening mark that resembled a hand on is cheek. Rubbing it, he murmured something under his breath.

"...Hope alright." Sakura narrowed her eyes.

"What did you say?" She said in a deadly tone. Sinbad held his hands up innocently.

"N...Nothing! I was just talking to myself! Nothing important!" Sakura continued to glare at him. When the king had caught Sakura in his arms, he persuaded the girl and her companion, Kero, to stay the night at his palace. Although they were suspicious at first, the two were tired and agreed to go there. Now, Sakura wished she hadn't. She crossed her arms together as she confronted the group.

"Ok, what gives? Before, you were all ready to capture and label us as enemies. Why are you so nice to us right now?" The man with white hair and tanned skin spoke up.

"Well, it's because you look and act like-" Before he could finish however, the rest of the generals dog-piled him, trying to shut him up.

"What are you trying to do, Sharkkan?!I knew you were an idiot, but you were given specific instructions not to say anything!" The woman with the seashells growled. The man known as Sharkkan snarled back.

"Oh excuse me for trying to help out someone!" As the two continued bickering, Sakura finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Kero! We're leaving!" Grabbing her bag, she stomped out towards the door with a tired Kero at her tail. But as she reached the door, the girl was stopped by Sinbad.

"...Look. I'm sorry ok? I shouldn't have done that. You have a right to your own space and I invaded it. Just please, don't go." Sakura, though she was no longer angry, looked at him confused.

"...Why do you even want me to stay? A mere girl who you met just yesterday! Why...?" The man's face darkened.

"...You won't understand." he answered. Sakura crossed her arms together and glared at him.

"I've been through too many things a girl my age shouldn't even have. Try me." Sinbad sighed as he rubbed his head in defeat.

"...Ok, I'll tell you, but not now. How about when the sun sets and if you're still here, I'll explain everything." Sakura stared at him before sighing.

"...Fine." With that, Sakura headed back to her temporary room. Kero, however, remained behind. He glared at Sinbad.

"I don't like or trust you, ya know?" Kero said after some time. "You have a weird aura around you. Try anything funny at her, and I'll make sure you'll regret it." Sinbad nodded, knowing that the doll was powerful enough to do so. When he had grabbed Sakura, the guardian came out from its hiding spot and literally attacked the man in his true form. Had the seven generals not been there... As Kero left to follow Sakura, Sinbad smiled a little.

"Hm...This is an interesting turn of events..." Sinbad lifted from beneath his shirt a small bag twisted with a small, old rope. As he opened the bag, the man pulled out a small sliver ring with a pink gemstone on it. The ring, polished and well kept, shone in the light, the gemstone sparkling. But, the shape of the stone different. The stone was shaped into a small cherry blossom, its petals etched carefully by a professional. Sinbad held it in the light as the generals watched him. "I wonder if I give it to her tonight, will she remember again? Hope...after all these years, your fiery temper and gentle smile hasn't changed one bit..." Suddenly, Sinbad narrowed his eyes as he spun his head around, surprising the generals.

"Sin! What's wrong?!" Ja'far asked as he ready his blades. The rest prepared their weapons as well, but Sinbad motioned them to put it down.

"Sorry guys...my mistake. It was just a bird." Sighing in relief, Ja'far began to scold Sinbad for scaring them, but the man eyes was not on his friend. Instead, his golden eyes were looking at a blood red bird that flew by. As the bird flew away, it briefly changed into a woman with flowing light black hair before returning back into the shape of the bird.


A dream that foretells a dangerous secret...but how is that connected to Sakura? Why does Sinbad have the ring Sakura saw in her visions from before? And why Hope? Just what is that bird? And why does it look so familiar...? Until Next Time...


Extra:

As Syaoran and Tomoyo were led by the guards to the throne room, the group heard a faint ear-shrieking scream. As the guards look at each other in confusion, Tomoyo shook her head. "I feel bad for whoever made Sakura scream..." Syaoran nodded. Having been together for a long time, the two knew the difference between Sakura's scream of terror and her scream of surprise.

"I just hope she isn't too mad..." Syaoran added.


tomoyo0000001: You are right on some things...but I won't say what.

Guest: Maybe. You'll just have to keep on reading to find out. But, I did leave subtle hints as to who she may end with...can you figure it out?

Guest: Unfortunately no. That song was from Madoka Magica called I'm Home.

Until Next Time! R&R!
