A/N: For those of you who might ask, the 2nd movie of CCS didn't happen in this fanfic. This fanfic takes place a few months after Syaoran left for HongKong. I am assuming that Sakura only turned 11 during the year, so this happened during the end of May.

Just so you know, the plot is predetermined, but it might change, depending on the circumstances and your reviews.

I would try to keep updating every after two weeks (or a week, if I have THE time) and don't hesitate to review! I would truly appreciate it.

Also, I do NOT own both CCS and HP!

I: Sakura and the dangerous dream

It was pure darkness. Sakura opened her eyes to see nothing. She can't even see herself. The cold mist sent shivers down her spine. Then, by every second, she started to see herself in the darkness.

"Light-san?" She called out as she saw a light flashing far away. By instinct, she ran towards the source of light, not knowing where it really was, not even knowing where she was.

'Where am I? Is this a dream?' Sakura dashed as fast as she can, not knowing which direction she went. She just simply followed the light she saw a while ago. She ran until she is in front of a big house.

"Where am I?" she asked herself. Suddenly, she saw a flash of green light from the 2nd floor window of the house she was in front of. She went inside the house to check it out. As seconds passed, the chills down her spine intensified even more. She reached the 2nd floor room where the green light came from. Shaking and panting from the sudden sprint from the outside, she peaked inside the open door.

"Die!" All the sound from inside the room were muffled to Sakura. When she slowly opened the door more and looked even closer, a stick with a green light on the tip was pointed at her. Suddenly, a burst of green light rushed over her. The moment the light struck her, she fell on the floor, as if dead.

'Am I dead?' She asked herself while the heaviness of her eyes rubbed off on her. She slowly lost her breath, and closed her eyes.

'No? I'm n-not dead?' Sakura opened her eyes once more. She then saw that she was in a big, white room with two doors.

'Now, where am I now? This dream sure is weird.' She looked around the room and saw nothing but white walls. She was confused; first she was in a dark area, now she is in a white room.

When she turned around to look at the two doors again, she was surprised to see a man standing in between the doors.

"Hoee? Clow-san?" She took a step forward to look at the man one more time. She wasn't mistaken, it really was Clow Reed, his ancestor.

On the door on her left, now open, her mother, Nadeshiko, stood there, smiling at her.

"Okaa-san!" Sakura ran towards the left door, but Clow Reed stopped her.

"No, Sakura-chan, don't come to me yet." Nadeshiko still smiled, although her eyes were sad.

"Why, okaa-san?" Sakura was again confused. She looked at Clow with a confused look.

"Sakura-san, you can't be with your mother yet," Clow Reed knelt beside Sakura and frowned.

"Why is that, Clow-san?" Sakura was on the verge of tears.

"You-" Clow stammered, unsure of how to say the situation to the 11-year-old girl.

"You died in your dream"

*KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING*

It was 7 a.m. in Tomoeda, Japan. A very noisy alarm suddenly rang in the room of Sakura Kinomoto. It didn't work though; as it rang endlessly, the 11-year-old girl just ignored it. Minutes later, a groan was heard from across the room.

"Sakura... yerr alarm is ringing. Put it down," a small, sleepy yellow creature emerged from the drawer on the right side of the room. Keroberos, the guardian beast of the then Clow cards (now Sakura cards), flew across the room to wake his mistress up. "Even if yerr the strongest sorcerer in the world, ya still have school, ya know." He flew closer to Sakura.

"Sakura, if ya don't wake up, ya'll be …." Keroberos noticed that Sakura wasn't moving. She was sweating all over, but she was disturbingly still.

"Sakura?" He slowly flew towards Sakura's face. The moment he touched her face, he was horrified; Sakura wasn't breathing anymore.

"Sakura? Sakura!"

"I-I died?" Sakura fell to her knees. She was still in shock of what she discovered; what happened in her dream really happened to her, and her soul is on the verge on crossing the "lines", so to speak.

"Yes, Sakura-san, I'm afraid you did. And you are now in a place where souls are to cross the border line." Still frowning, Clow Reed stood up and looked at Nadeshiko, who also was frowning.

"B-but, I can't die yet, I-I ... otou-san, onii-chan, the Cards, Kero-chan, Yue-san, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura's face fell down, her auburn-colored bangs covered her eyes, covering her tears falling from her face. "S-Syaoran-kun"

"You cannot die yet, though, Sakura-san," Clow patted Sakura's head. "There's so much for you to do, still"

"Sakura!" Clow and Sakura was surprised. When they looked for the source of the voice, they found out that the right pathway where the other open door is started to glow.

"That voice," Sakura wiped her tears and tucked her short auburn locks behind her ear. "Kero-chan?"

She stood up and ran towards the right door and tried to open it, but there was no doorknob.

"Kero-chan!" Sakura shouted one more time then turned to look at Clow Reed who was still standing there, looking at the door.

"Sakura-sama! Sakura-sama"

"Sakura!"

"Wake up, please!"

"The cards? The cards! I'm here!" Sakura tried to pound on the door, but still it won't open

Now smiling, Clow Reed walked towards Sakura who was facing the door. Sakura fell to her knees again and started crying. 'How can I go to where everyone is?'

"If it's you, everything will surely be all right." Clow whispered. Sakura stopped crying and looked at Clow, then to her mother who was still standing at the other door, smiling.

"Alright" Sakura stood in front of the door once again and touched it.

"Sakura! Don't die on me now!" Keroberos' voice was clearer that before. Sakura placed her hands together and closed her eyes

'Take me where everyone is, please.' She prayed. She and the door then started to glow. She felt as if a soothing hand was taking her away from the white room she was in. She looked back to where Clow and her mother were.

"I'm sure when you return, new troubles will occur around you, but I'm sure everything will be all right." Clow said as Sakura slowly entered the right doorway.

"I'll always be watching you, Touya and Fujitaka." Nadeshiko waved to her daughter, who smiled back.

"Be careful, Sakura-san," Clow's face suddenly turned serious, "the dark lord has begun."

"Hoee?" Sakura was surprised on what Clow said. "Wait, Clow-san? Clow-san!"

Sakura then woke up.

Sakura jolted up from her bed, surprised with the sudden blow of air to her lungs. Heavily panting and sweating, she felt dizzy the moment she woke up. What surprised her was all her cards and Keroberos surrounding her.

"SAKURAAA! I thought we're gonna lose you 'ya know!" Keroberos flew to Sakura, still crying. All of her cards rested on Sakura's open palm. She felt terribly weak that she fell onto her bed again. All she can say was a quiet "hoee.." at Keroberos. All the cards then returned to the book. The door suddenly opened.

Touya peeked and saw Sakura still laying on the bed with Keroberos floating by her side. Keroberos was now not a problem, since Toya knew from the beginning what Sakura had been doing for the past year. He even gave up his power to Sakura's other guardian, Yue, to sustain his best friend's existence, Yukito (Yue's false form).

"If you don't wake up now, you'll be super late," Touya stared at Sakura then sneered. "Kaijuu"

"I'm not a monster!" Sakura jolted up her bed again, but the moment she sat up, she remembered the flash of green light she saw in her dream. The memory overwhelmed her and she fell to her bed again.

"Sakura? Are you ok?" Touya walked towards the side of Sakura's bed, only to find her sleeping again.

"Hey Keroberos, what happened?" Touya, worried, asked the still-crying Keroberos.

"I ... don't know either." Keroberos' face fell. Touya stared at the plushie for a while, raising an eyebrow. The Mirror suddenly emerged from the cards. "He is telling the truth, onii-sama." The Mirror said while still in her card form.

"Well then," Touya rose up from Sakura's bed, still worried. "I'll be going now. Keep an eye on her for me while I'm not around. Otou-san won't be back until next week. I'll be back tonight." Toya reached for the door.

Before he left Sakura's room, Touya told Keroberos that there are snacks in the drawer at the kitchen and that he should not to open the fridge. Giving Keroberos one last glare, he left the room. Keroberos sweatdropped. He then looked at the sleeping Sakura with worry on his face.

'What in the world happened?'

It was 2 in the afternoon. Sakura slowly opened her eyes. She doesn't remember much about anything that happened. All she remembered was feeling terribly weak earlier during the morning.

"Sakura! Yerr awake!" Keroberos suddenly bursted into the room and flew towards Sakura.

"Kero-chan, what happened?" Sakura's whisper was barely audible. Suddenly, she remembered seeing Clow Reed and her mother, and that she died

"Kero-chan, I-I ..." Sakura stuttered. Keroberos was still staring at her.

"Kero-chan, what happened?"

*FLASHBACK*

"Sakura?" Keroberos slowly flew towards Sakura's face. The moment he touched her face, he was horrified; Sakura wasn't breathing anymore.

"Sakura? Sakura!" He shook his mistress to wake her, but she didn't budge.

"Sakura-sama?" The cards emerged from the drawer, surrounding their mistress.

"Sakura's not waking up! She's not breathing at all!" Keroberos cried. In panic, the Cards started circling around Sakura.

"Sakura-sama! Sakura-sama!"

"Sakura!"

"Wake up, please!"

Still, nothing happened. Sakura was still not moving, and not breathing. The Cards started to lose their color. Keroberos, although his power comes from the sun, felt his energy draining every second.

"Sakura!" Keroberos started to cry. "Don't die on me now!"

Suddenly, Sakura started to glow. Keroberos and the Cards started to feel warmth from her again; the Cards started to gain their color again, and Keroberos is regaining his strength.

Sakura then woke up.

*END*

"It's probably my dream," she whispered. Keroberos raised an eyebrow.

"What dream? Ya remember, right?" He just looked at her intently.

Silence rose from the room, with Sakura staring at the floor and Keroberos looking at her. Sakura gave off a nervous laugh.

"I ... really... don't." Keroberos fell to the floor as Sakura just continued to laugh nervously.

"Ya know dreams are important for a sorcerer like you!" Keroberos shouted to Sakura. "Ya never change," he just shook his head and went to sit on top of Sakura's drawer.

"I do remember some, though," Sakura sounded serious. Keroberos looked at her intently again. "I remember seeing a flash of green light, then it hit me. I fell to the floor after that." She paused and looked at Keroberos who was looking back at her.

"And then, I saw Clow-san and okaa-san, in a white room with two doors." Keroberos flinched at the mention of his former master's name.

"You saw Clow Reed?" He paused for a while, then it hit him. "The crossroads!"

"The what?" Sakura, still feeling weak, she almost tumbled down when she tried to walk towards the drawer. Keroberos caught her.

"Beeerrr keeerrfaauull!" Keroberos said while biting Sakura's pajama top. He then supported Sakura while she walked towards her chair. Settling Sakura down, Keroberos sat in the drawer again. "The crossroads is where souls cross the line to the afterlife. Although there is a possibility that you can still live, it's only a little. Most cases, the soul heads straight to the door leading the after life, not really having the chance to choose." Keroberos paused and looked at Sakura, who was half asleep.

"But Clow-san stopped me from going there," Sakura yawned, "and then, I started to hear voices, your voices." Sakura took the Cards from where it was then placed it near her chest. "I was really scared at that time. When I heard your voices I felt a spark of hope. Then Clow-san told me everything will be all right when I was about to cry." Sakura smiled. "Then I woke up."

"That's good to hear, Sakura." Keroberos relaxed a bit, then smiled. Sakura smiled back, but then, she remembered something else.

"Oh yeah, Kero-chan, about my dream," she looked so serious that Keroberos flinched. "I really don't remember much, but about the green light I told you, I think it's that light that killed me." Sakura bit her lip; it was hard for her to talk about it, after all. "Do you have an idea what it was?" Keroberos, meanwhile, was in deep thought.

"Hmmm... I don't really remember. Clow did tamper our memories after all." Keroberos frowned. "Well, Sakura, in any case, we should be careful 'bout green lights and stuff from now on!" Sakura dropped from her chair.

"Is that really necessary?" Sakura just scratched her head. Keroberos roared with laughter.

'I'm afraid, Sakura, that everything begins here.' Keroberos thought to himself. 'But if it's you, everything will surely be all right.'
