Vixen:: Hey guys! I am sooooo sorry I'm late updating. My mother decided to be evil and turn the Internet off for a month and well...lets just say she kept forgetting to turn it back on. I was angry. One day she just turns it off. I asked her why she did it and she said, "I've decided to turn the Internet off every other month so I won't get any viruses." I told her she was stupid but once she decides on something, you can't convince her otherwise.

Anyway, as for the winner (the one who gets Kero-chan) I've decided to cheat. =P Since I can't really tell who was the exact third person to review, and I didn't wanna choose, I decided to just send Kero through a copier.

100 Keros:: Yeah!

Vixen:: (laughs nervously) yeah, I cheated. But come on. I don't like to choose. So everyone who reviews gets a Kero!

Thank you...

(Previously)

Sakura sat there curled in a ball on the floor as the house continued to make noise. She could barely see the setting sun through the kitchen window.

"Tomoyo-chan. Hurry." she whispered as she hugged herself tighter.

Soon the sun set and Sakura lost herself to the darkness.

Nightmares.

That's the only word to fully describe the pictures going through Sakura's head.

A man standing on a hill of bones.

A woman with piercing green eyes embracing a small child.

A young man, no older than herself, standing at the edge of a forest surrounded by wolves.

A blue haired warlock casting his spells upon an unsuspecting town.

Sakura could hear the sobs of the small child. She could feel the small breeze that wound its way through the forest and feel the power coming from the warlock. It was just seemed so real.

Maybe too real.

Her last vision was of a book. A powerful book that was handed down from one great warlock to another. With every transition, the warlock became weaker and weaker. Then nothing. All Sakura could see was complete nothingness. No sounds, no anything.

Then a small light protruded the dark. It was a warm green color and gave off a certain warmth.

Following the light, Sakura found herself in a small clearing. Flowers of all colors danced in the breeze. The trees danced and the sun shone bright. In the middle of the clearing, a young boy sat enjoying the sun's warmth. A dark brown wolf was stretched out next to him. It's fur shone and it's ears twitched with the breeze as it slept beside it's master. Looking around once more, Sakura slowly made her way over to the boy and his pet. Upon closer inspection, Sakura could make out the boy's features. His shaggy brown hair was grown so that it obstructed his view and his poster was relaxed. He had to be at least her age and he looked to be taller than her. Calmly lowering herself into a sitting position beside him, Sakura found herself unable to look away from his face. The boy shifted slightly and opened one eye to look at her. Sakura gasped as amber eyes peered into hers. The boy then closed is eyes and sighed.

"It took you long enough to find me." His voice was strong and yet gentle at the same time.

Sakura looked at him skeptically. "What do you mean? Have we met before?" Surely, she would have remembered him if they had.

The boy opened both eyes but kept his gaze to the sky. "No we have not. But sooner or later we will meet in person."

She scrunched her face in confusion. "We will?" she asked.

The boy chuckled. "Of course we will. It is our destiny to meet." He said it as if it was the simplest thing in the world. But it wasn't.

"Destiny?" Sakura questioned. "I don't believe in destiny."

He then looked at her and Sakura couldn't help but tremble at the depth in those eyes. "You will. You are the Keeper of the Book are you not?" he asked.

Sakura, still unnerved by the boy's gaze, nodded. "How do you know about the Book?" She thought only her father and herself knew of it.

The boy's gaze returned to the sky. "Simple. That book was created by my ancestor, Clow Reed." Sakura gasped but the boy continued. "That Book knows of the Past, Present, and the Future. It's a real Oracle. It knows everything." He looked at her. " Even of this very meeting between you and I."

Sakura was speechless. A mere book wouldn't be able to do that. It was impossible. And yet Sakura truly believe every word this boy said.

"What all does the book say?" she asked.

The boy simply shrugged but his gaze never left hers. "I wouldn't know. Only the Book's Keeper can open it and read it's text." Sakura was slightly disappointed by this. For she had opened the Book before but there were only bare pages in it.

"That can't be true." She whispered mostly to herself. Seeing the boy's confused look, she explained. "I've already opened it and there was nothing in it. Just blank pages." Sakura looked down ashamed but looked up at the sound of the boy's laughter. "What's so funny?" she demanded.

The boy calmed himself but released a small chuckle every now and then. "You have to be near a decendent of Clow before you can see the writing. It's still there. You just can't see it unless I'm nearby. My magic reveals the writing. While your magic reveals the Book."

Okay. Now Sakura knew this dude was crazy. Magic? Her? No way.

"I don't have magic." she glared. This boy was toying with her.

The boy disagreed. "You do. How else would the Book come into your possession? And even then how could you have opened it if you didn't have magic?"

Sakura shrugged. "Simple. My dad found it while he was on one of his adventures. He gave it to me for safe keeping. And I could only open it because the key that fit the lock was the same key my mother always wore around her neck. Pure coincidence. Nothing more."

The boy laughed again. "You're funny."

Sakura didn't laugh. "And You're weird."

His smile still held amusement. "That may be true but either way, you will be meeting me soon. Then everything will make sense."

"Whatever." Sakura grumbled, determined to have the last word.

The boy laughed. "I can not believe you're the Book's Keeper"

Sakura gave him her dirtiest glare. "Quit calling me that."

The boy laughed harder. "Well what should I call you?"

"If you're asking for my name, it's Sakura." she grumbled. This boy was a pain!

"Sakura." the boy whispered. "Pretty."

Sakura blushed which caused the boy to laugh more. "Whatever", she growled turning away.

They sat there, for who knows how long, just enjoying nature. But their silence was destroyed when a dark cloud covered the sun and cast it's shadow upon the clearing. The beast beside the boy sat up and looked around. It's gaze then locked on the dark forest in front of us and it growled. The noise sent waves of panic through Sakura's body. What was going on? What's out there?

The boy quickly stood and stared at a certain spot in the woods. Not moving to even look at her, he spoke. "You need to leave." Rising to her feet, Sakura stood by his side. "Why? What's going on?" she asked.

"You need to leave...Now." Just the way he said it, Sakura knew not to question him further. Sakura turned to run the other way but stopped short. Turning back around, Sakura saw the wolf run off into the forest. The boy stayed rooted in place. "I though I told you to leave!" He growled, still not looking at her. Sakura stopped her legs from obeying. "But what's your name? I need to know your name if I'm going to find you!" she yelled. Her feet had started moving on their own, and she was now slowly walking backwards away from the boy. The boy then looked at her and she stopped moving.

He grinned. "Syaoran. Li Syaoran." and with that, he bounded off after his pet into the forest.

Sakura stood there a moment in shock. But a low growl from behind her caused her to spin around quickly. Spinning too quickly, she lost her balance and found herself falling.

And falling.

And falling.

And she couldn't save herself.

She opened her mouth to scream but no sound came.

(present time)

Sakura shot up into a sitting position.

She was breathing heavily and her heart was racing.

Looking around, Sakura gasped. 'It was a dream? But it seemed so real...Wait. If that was a dream...then shouldn't I still be on my kitchen floor?' Sakura wondered.

Taking in her surroundings, Sakura discovered that she was definitely not in her kitchen anymore.

Violet drapes hung over the large windows, blocking out the sun that so desperately wanted in. The bed she had unknowingly been resting in had a lavender comforter and large fluffy pillows. The room was a light purple color. Heck. Everything in the room was some shade of Purple.

Sakura's eyes widened. 'Oh my god. I've been kidnapped. That's the only thing that it could be. The people who took dad came back for me. And now I'm probably going to die!'

She began to panic. Throwing the comforter off, she raced to the only door in the room. As soon as she opened it, some unknown force knocked her to the floor. Looking up, Sakura was speechless.

'What the hell is that thing?'

Vixen:: Yeah I know it was super short and all but I just wanted to update and the Chapter I had was seriously too long. So I decided to break it up into three different chapters. It's easier that way...well...for me at least.

Since it was short...I'm just gonna ask for 2 reviews.

That's right folks! Just 2 reviews and you shall learn just where Sakura is and what that 'thing' is.

Sooo...until next time...

Bye!
