Setting: This takes place right after all the cards have been turned into sakura cards. Syaoran hadn't told Sakura his feelings, okay? And they already know that Eriol is the reincarnation of Clow Reed.

Part 1:

Sakura tapped her pen on the table and sighed. Miss Mizuki's been gone for quite a while…

"Hey Sakura!"

Sakura turned to Tomoyo, who was sitting beside her. "Want to watch all your video footages I've collected while you capture the Clow cards?" Tomoyo asked, smiling at Sakura.

Sakura sweat dropped. "Uh…haven't you watched it already?"

Tomoyo clapped her hands together and sighed dreamily. "Yes! And all those costumes you're wearing were so beautiful!"

"He he…okay Tomoyo…"

"Syaoran, talk to me!"

They both turned around and saw Meilin holding his arm. "Syaoran, I'm not angry at you!" They both looked at Tomoyo and Sakura, who were looking at them weirdly. Tomoyo smiled at Syaoran and winked. He blinked and looked at Sakura, who was smiling back. He blushed and turned to the window instead. Why do I feel like this?

Meilin sighed and slumped on her chair and looked at Tomoyo. Meilin leaned to her and whispered, "Do you know what Sakura feels for Syaoran?"

"I don't know. I think Yukito is still her Mr. Right. Are you all right about what happened to you and Li?"

Meilin nodded and took a quick look at Syaoran. "I guess Sakura really means much to him."

"Sakura, we need to talk."

Sakura looked up at Eriol, who was standing beside them. "Why Eriol?" Syaoran was interested in the conversation also and leaned closer to Sakura's chair. He could smell her hair, making him blush. She smells like fresh flowers…

"Syaoran?"

He looked at Sakura's face, only inches apart from his own. "Are you all right? You look a little flushed…" Sakura reached out her hand and rested it on Syaoran's forehead. He blushed even harder and brushed Sakura's hand away. Sakura just smiled and looked at Eriol.

"Sakura, let's talk outside." He looked at Syaoran, Meilin and Tomoyo. "You three can come as well."

The four stood up from their chairs. As they leave the classroom, Chiharu stood up also. "Where are you guys going?"

"Uh…we're going to find Miss Mizuki." Tomoyo said gently at her.

"Oh…can I come to?"

"NO!" They all yelled, which surprised Chiharu. "Uh…we're too many already. You don't mind it, right Chiharu?" Sakura asked.

"It's okay! I need to talk to Nauko anyway." Chiharu smiled at them and turned to where Nauko is.

They all sighed in relief. They looked at each other and went outside the building. Once they're in a quiet place, Eriol looked at them seriously.

"Something's going to happen…"

"What's going to happen?" Meilin asked, curious about Eriol.

"I can feel someone's power…in fact, its source is just around us."

Syaoran stood on guard and looked around. Suddenly, a strong wind came and they heard a cruel laugh.

"Aren't you good Eriol! Or should I say Clow Reed? Ha ha ha!"

They looked up to a tree just beside them and saw a familiar figure standing on a strong branch of a tree. She was wearing a long black cloak. She has long brown hair and quite tall.

Sakura looked at the figure closely and sure enough she recognized who it is.

"Miss Mizuki!"

The figure laughed. "Wrong my dear. I'm Sumire, Mizuki's twin!"

"WHAT?!"

Sumire smirked at them and looked disgustingly at Sakura. "I can't believe you're a card captor. I'm worthier than you!"

"What did you say?!" Syaoran yelled at her. Sakura rested her hand on his shoulder and looked at Sumire. "The cards chose me!"

"Cards? You mean your lame Sakura cards?! They definitely won't surpass my own cards."

"Your own cards?" Eriol asked.

"Yes my master. My own cards. And they'll definitely conquer the whole world."

Tomoyo looked at Eriol worriedly. "She called you master. Do you know her Eriol?"

"Unfortunately, yes… She's one of my private students."

"Too much talk. I came here not to chit - chat with a bunch of lame losers."

"How could you say that in front of me?! I'm not lame!" Meilin yelled, tightening her fist.

Sumire rolled her eyes at her and took a card out of her coat. She threw it across them and it stayed in front of Sakura's classroom. The five looked at the card, which was bathed in black light. Then it flashed a bright light. Sakura covered her eyes the opened them as she heard Nauko's horrifying scream. She opened her eyes and found shadows coming out of the window. They were all sucked in by the black card.

"Nauko!!" Sakura yelled. Her eyes widened as she heard her classmates screaming. Then it quieted.

"What did you do?!" Syaoran yelled at Sumire, who was laughing.

"Did you enjoy my little show?" The card returned again to Sumire. She smiled in satisfaction and looked at Syaoran.

"I just replenish my Shadow Card. You know, not only their shadows were taken, but their strength, their little power, and actually, their own spirit were taken."

"How…How could you be so heartless?!" Sakura stammered as she reached in her uniform and got her key out.

Sumire just laughed and took another card. "Let's see…what card should I use for you Sakura?"

"No card would touch Sakura!" Syaoran yelled angrily and stood in front of Sakura.

"You're brave! I know the best card that will surely enjoy the taste of your blood! Sword Card!!" She took another black card and immediately, the image of a sword appeared and went directly to Syaoran.

"No! Shield Card, protect Syaoran!" Sakura's Sheild Card glowed and a green barrier circled Syaoran. Sumire smiled inwardly as the sword went closer and closer to Syaoran. The sword reaches the barrier, and in one swift motion, it broke the barrier.

Sakura's eyes widened as the sword struck Syaoran. A horrifiying yell escaped Meilin's mouth. As soon as the sword pierced through Syaoran, the sword instantly disappeared.

Sumire frowned. He's a descendant of Clow Reed. "I've finished my business here!" The strong wind returned and Sumire instantly disappeared. Sakura rushed at Syaoran, who was on his knees. Tears were falling down her eyes as she held Syaoran's face. "Syaoran…"

He reached inside his uniform and got out the thing he uses to find Clow Cards. It was broke in half and Syaoran's blood stained it.

Syaoran looked at Sakura. "I told you no card will touch you…" then he went unconscious in Sakura's arms.

"Syaoran! Syaoran!" Eriol knelt beside Sakura and rested his hand on her shoulder. "He's all right Sakura. I assure you."

"Don't worry Sakura. If we ever saw that Sumire again, I'm gonna give her a piece of me!" Meilin said, also crying.

Tomoyo stood beside Eriol. "Sakura, we better call Keroberus."

"I'll do that later after I put Syaoran to the clinic." Sakura rested his arms over her shoulder. Syaoran…please be all right
