HEY! I'm back again with a new chapter! I think it's been awhile since I've update, SORRY! yr12 sucks and my life is like up and down! LOL But that doesn't matter! I've got a new chapter for you all! I hope you enjoy!

It was lunch time and Sakura sat under the cherry blossom tree, thinking hard about what was happening and trying to figure out a plan to fix everything up. This was her mess anyways.

Tomoyo joined her troubled best friend, sitting down next to her, offering a piece of her beloved strawberry short cake.

"I thought you might want it today," Tomoyo said, looking down at it, "you're always happy when, and after, you eat it."

Sakura sighed looking down at cake, "I don't feel like eating at the moment," she handing it back to Tomoyo, "I'm sorry."

Tomoyo smiled understanding how Sakura felt, "no need to be. But don't you worry too much Sakura. You're always good at sorting these things out."

Sakura lifted her head leaning it against the tree, looking relieved, "you're my rock Tomoyo, I have no idea what I would do without you."

Tomoyo smiled, leaning back looking into the cloudless sky, "I think I would go crazy if you weren't here." The two girls just sat in silence in each others company, pondering over what was happening.

After School

The two girls walked out of the school gates, talking about what action Sakura should take. 'The card is too powerful for me to battle in hand-to-hand combat, and all I can really do is slap!' Sakura thought, 'Someone could get seriously injured.'

Sakura was determined to catch this one, "Hey, can we go to the park? I've got some unfinished business I need to attend to."

Kero instantly flew out of her bag, "no way, you're not ready!"

Sakura hung her head. It was true, she was no where near ready for it, and she didn't have a plan.

"I guess," she said softly and continued walking, "can we at least walk by the park?"

"Uh, yeah sure," Tomoyo agreed, looking at Kero with worried eyes. The whole walk was in absolute silence. Sakura had tried many times the night before to open the staff, but the Key would just fall to the floor each time.

They arrived at the park and Sakura took a good look everywhere, remembering everything that happened, except there was a blank in her memory, when the Clow card was trashing her.

'What did happen after that?' Sakura thought. She just remembers being at home right after that scene.

Sakura woke up from her trance when she heard an urgent groan of pain.

"Not now!" Sakura pleaded, dropping her bag and running towards the slide.

There she saw Syaoran, lying on the ground, cringing holding his shoulder. The Clow card was standing over him, smirking.

Anger overwhelmed Sakura as she felt tears swell up in her eyes.

"Leave him alone!" Sakura warned, standing her ground, "Or you'll have me to answer to!" Tomoyo was about to run into the scene to stop Sakura, but Kero stopped her. Tomoyo understood his gesture and took out her video camera.

The Clow card turned to face Sakura, wiping her nose with its thumb. Sakura took a step back; she had no idea what to do! She had no type of training. So she did the first thing that came to her head, run!

It was like cat-and-mouse all over the park, except for Sakura's cries when the card came close. It seemed to work for her; she hadn't got hit so far, which was great! She could think of a quick plan.

She had a quick glance behind her to see where the Clow card was. And surprisingly, it wasn't even there. Sakura halted and looked everywhere. 'Maybe I scared it off?' Sakura thought, lost.

But then she felt a blow to her back and fell to the ground.

"Shit!" She swore, quickly getting back up.

Playing games wasn't a good idea after all. Once Sakura was back up on her feet, the card began thrashing her with it fierce punches and kicks.

Sakura could barely dodge them; she was still hurt from last night. Sakura was getting hurt and she felt there was nothing else she could do. But since when did Sakura give up on anything?

Sakura finally stood her ground, feeling confident about this. She clutched her fist and gave the fight card her most power punch. At first she thought it was pretty impressive, until the card caught her hand very easily.

Sakura looked up gasping with surprise. The Clow card smirked, slowly crushing Sakura's small hands. Sakura cringed, holding in any groans she was about to make. It was so painful for Sakura, but she wanted to look strong in front of everyone.

The Clow card finally stopped and twisted Sakura's hand swiftly, causing Sakura flip in the air and land on the ground. Sakura coughed has she inhaled the dirt. She felt worthless, like there was nothing else she could do.

She watched as the Clow card turned on the ball of its feet and walk away. Sakura's head lay on the ground, now watching the ant walking towards her busily. There was nothing she could do.

Then the sound of groaning caught her attention. She lifted her head up and looked towards the direction it was coming from. The sight made her stomach turn. The Clow card was holding Syaoran in the air by his collar. She watched has he wiggled and kicked.

The Clow card smirked as she started punching Syaoran like a punching bag. He let out a painful moan, cringing helplessly like a rag doll she threw him to the ground and watch has he pushed himself so hard to get to his feet. He could barely hold himself up with his knees, but he just kept on trying, until the Clow Card came and lifted him up to his feet.

Sakura could only watch has he got trashed, what was this Clow card going to do? Kill him? Then it struck her. Sakura was given the responsibility of being the Cardcaptor. She always thought of capturing the cards has a burden since it would always interfere with her normal routine, but it was a gift.

She was the only one who can control the Clow cards, the only one who could even open the book. And the Clow cards answered to her and they were her friends now as well!

She was the chosen Card captor who was given the ability to save everyone from the destruction they may cause. She was half way through capturing them all, she wasn't going to let this one be the last! And she wasn't going to let this one hurt Syaoran anymore.

She suddenly felt energy flow through her; she smiled remembering the feeling, the presence. She took out the Key with totally confidence in it, and said the incantation, "O key that hides the power of the Dark. Show your true form before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract. Release!"

The Key expanded, finally revealing the staff Sakura dearly missed. She took hold of it and smile, "Thank you," she whispered to it, holding it close. She reached in her pocket for a Clow card and held it tightly as she ran over to Syaoran.

She picked him off the ground, running a few metres away; she threw the card in her hand up and called, "Shield!" A force field surrounded Sakura and Syaoran, as the Fight try to attack them.

Sakura could feel her strength run out. "Jump!" she called.

She held Syaoran tightly, jumping over to Tomoyo and Kero, "Please, take care of him."

Kero Cheered, "I knew you could do it!"

Sakura stood up straight with a smile, "thanks." She quickly turned around, facing the Clow card. She starred at it fiercely, fire burning through her eyes. She walked towards it, holding the staff with both hands in a tight grip.

"I may be very clueless at times, and crazy, and I might be the weakest person," She told the card, "but I won't ever let anyone hurt Syaoran!" The Clow card smirked at the beaming confidence Sakura had just gained.

The Clow card jumped in front of Sakura and tried to hook punch Sakura, but she easily dodged it, jumping down to floor. She spun around; holding her Staff out, "Power!" and the Clow card was knocked off it's feet.

As it finally found the ground, Sakura made another lethal attack, jabbing the staff into its stomach. It staggered back, caught off guard and very confused. The next thing it saw was Sakura flying in the air, holding her Staff above head.

The Clow card was knocked out cold.

"Now Sakura! Seal it!" Kero ordered.

Sakura stood over the Clow card, raising her staff, she began a new incantation, "Return to you true form. Clow card!"

It was too weak so resist, so without any trouble it was turned back into a card form. Sakura let out a sigh of relief has it returned to her hand.

"You sure were a handful, Fight card!" Sakura laughed.

She turned around to face Kero and Tomoyo, jumping up and down waving her hands in the air, happier than ever. Until she noticed that Tomoyo was still holding Syaoran in her arms, while taping.

The staff returned to its usual form as Sakura ran towards them.

"Is he okay?" Sakura asking panicking. Tomoyo transferred him to Sakura's arms. He groaned has his moved to get comfortable in her arms.

Sakura smiled down at him. There was only one thing that could make this moment even better; "So… Do you still have that cake?"
