Chapter One- I Love You, Always and Forever
Sakura turned and slowly raised her wand as she faced the Void Card, �Return to your true form, CLOW CARD!" A strong wind blew as the Void was released from her black sphere.�Card created by Clow, drop your old form and revive under the name of your new master, Sakura!" The Void transformed into a glowing pink card and floated in the air.
Suddenly the black sphere surrounded around a figure across from Sakura.
Her eyes widened, "SYAORAN-KUN!" she cried as she ran towards Syaoran and stopped at the edge.
Syaoran looked up at her, looking as tired as ever, �I�m glad I made it in time. It seems I have more magic left in me, after all. It makes sense, since you�ve been using your magic to summon the cards all day. And just transformed the card?
�Syaoran-kun!" Sakura said, but was interrupted by Syaoran.
�Even if I don�t have these feelings, I�ll come back to love you again�Sakura."
Sakura bursted into tears, �SYAORAN-KUN!!!"
The card floated forward, and bright light filled the tower. When it dimmed, Sakura cried more, Syaoran had lost his love for her.
�Don�t cry," said a voice, �it�s all right."
Sakura raised her head, �The�card," she whispered as she took it. The glowing pink faded, it had merged into the Hope Card. She looked up at Syaoran, he looked away from Sakura. More tears came out and flowed down her cheeks as she took in a deep breath.
�Syaoran-kun? she said, �even if you don�t care for me, I love you. You�re the one I love the most, Syaoran-kun, you�re my number one!" Sakura squeezed her eyes tight and new tears formed in her eyes as they rolled down her cheeks.
�And you are mine too," Sakura gasped and looked up, Syaoran was looking at her with a smile on his face. "Sakura."
Sakura cried again, and with happiness. Syaoran hadn�t lost his love after all.
Light pours in from the dawning sun. The light extends to rebuild the rest of the city. People start awakening; Meiling and Tomoyo look up. Sonomi wakes up to find herself leaning against Fujitaka, and turns away indignantly. Fujitaka smiles. Touya stands up, clenching the silly waiter hat in his hand. Kero-chan wakes up, but pretends to be a stuffed animal when he realizes Yukito is awake too. Yukito just smiles, and Kero-chan�s sweat drops.
�I�m jumping to you!" Sakura called to Syaoran as she took a few steps backwards.
�Don�t do it!" Syaoran said holding up his arms. �In just a moment, the building will repair itself, so-"
�I don�t want to wait!" said Sakura, smiling, she runs and jumps, arms outstretched, �I LOVE YOU!!!"
A few days after Sakura and Syaoran sealed the Hope Card, Syaoran had to leave for Hong Kong. Sakura had promised to meet him and Meiling at the airport with Tomoyo. Sakura ran towards Syaoran as he and Meiling were about to board the plane.
�I love you Syaoran-kun," said Sakura, hugging him, then lifted her head and her lips met with his. She stopped and looked up to see him blushing. She reached into her shirt and pulled out a heart locket with her picture inside and name carved on the front. She took his hand and placed her locket into it, then put both hands on top of his. �You must not forget me, Syaoran-kun, I will love you forever."
Syaoran hugged Sakura once more, then he pulled off his jacket, and placed it over Sakura�s shoulders. Syaoran looked deeply into her eyes, and said, in a soft voice, �Now you won�t forget me�Sakura-chan. I will love you forever." And with one last deep kiss, he boarded the plane with Meiling.
Sakura took a few steps forward, �Make sure you come back Syaoran!!! Don�t forget me!"
Syaoran turned his head at the doorway and waved back, �I won�t! Ashiteru, Sakura-chan!"
�Ashiteru, Syaoran-kun!"she yelled back as he went through the doorway.
Tomoyo ran up to Sakura. She saw tears running down her face and she started crying too. �Don�t worry Sakura-chan," she said, putting an arm around her shoulders. �You�ll see him again soon, he would never leave you." Sakura nodded as the best friends turned and left the airport.
�This place," thought Sakura, �I�ve been here�before." Sakura looked around, she was standing in a field�a Cherry Blossom field. Many trees were lined up one by one, and pink blossoms were happily blooming on them.
�It�s the Sakura Fields," she said, remembering, �I came here with Syaoran-kun the day before he left. Why am I here?" She neared a tall, young-looking, tree. She placed her hand on the rough wood and stopped.
�What�s that?" she thought as she gazed ahead.
A few trees ahead, she saw a small black sphere, like a small version of the black sphere surrounding the Void. Sakura walked up to the sphere, �It�s an orb," she thought. Sakura reached up to touch it, but the orb flew away, she followed it and tried to touch it again. But every time she tried to, the orb flew away from her. Sakura stopped after 5 minutes of trying to catch it.
�What are you?" she asked the orb, gasping for air, but it just stayed there, not moving. �What are you?" she asked again. Sakura got tired of trying to catch it, so she turned away and started walking in the opposite direction. Before leaving the fields, she stopped by the tree she was at earlier, and pulled off a cherry blossom.
�It�s lovely," she said to herself, brushing it with her other hand. Using her hand, she put the pink flower in her hair. Suddenly sensing something coming from behind her, she whirled around and saw the black orb flying towards her. Sakura couldn�t move her legs, she couldn�t run away, she was frozen in her spot.
The orb hit her in the center of her chest. Sakura gasped and started screaming as it made its way inside her body. Sakura�s eyes suddenly darkened, her gentle emerald eyes turned pitch black. The whole place darkened, there was nothing around her but darkness. She couldn�t move.
Sakura looked down and saw nothing, no surface, no ground, nothing. Suddenly, her whole body just started falling down�down�down�not knowing what she would end up as. Sakura�s eyes turned back emerald green, she shook her head so she was fully awake.
She reached inside her shirt and pulled out the Sakura Key, �Oh key of the stars, with powers burning bright, reveal the staff, and shine your light. RELEASE!" The wand didn�t show. �RELEASE!" she said again. It didn�t work, �Why won�t it work?" In the corner of her eye, she saw something glowing.
Sakura looked down, she could see�an opening! A smile spread on her face, but it soon disappeared. A tall skinny figure with waist length black hair looked up at Sakura, and said in a rasp whisper, �I have come to take your love, Sakura. Join me, Sakura. Join me."
Sakura screamed. As it reached out and grabbed her arm.
�NO!" Sakura sat up straight in bed, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She turned to the drawer, Kero-chan was still asleep. Sakura calmed down and rolled up her sleeve and gasped at the sight she saw. Her arm had a mark on it�a grip�like a skeleton. Sakura thought back in her dream, what did the figure look like?
Sakura closed her eyes. An image flashed in her mind, the fingers were long and bony, no meat. The skin was green, olive green. Sakura gasped as she opened her eyes. She swung her feet over her bed and slipped her feet into her slippers. The wood creaked underneath her feet as she made her way to the bathroom. She flicked on the light and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her hair was messed up, and her eyes...they weren�t the normal emerald green, they weren�t the green she liked. Her heart, it felt...like there was a huge whole in it, a part was missing. "That...dream..." Sakura murmured. "It felt so real!" she pulled up her sleeve once more and looked at her arm where the mark was.
Sakura turned on the cold water tap, and let it run for a few seconds. Then she cupped her hands and let it fill with cold water, then splashed it into her face. After that, she felt much better, refreshed. As she turned of the bathroom light, she looked in the mirror at her face again, then left and went back to bed.
