Chapter 1
The room was empty except for her. The yellow curtains blew gently from the wind coming in through the open window, shining with a bright hue from the sunlight. The air in the room felt clean from the summer morning air and the fact that she just vacuumed the house.
Sakura was deep in thought, her cheeks turning slightly pink. Her bright, beautiful green eyes were looking upon a black teddy bear. At a first glance, this plush didn't seem so special. But to Sakura, the stuffing, the cloth, and the warmth that emitted from it brought memories and emotion to her.
It was a bear she received from Syaoran. He had made it himself. Sakura smiled to herself, her mind lingering among memories of her friend. Perhaps he was more to her than a friend, but Sakura didn't care about how much. She knew that Syaoran loved her very much. The message was clear on that depressing day.
He was leaving for home, home in Hong Kong. It was in the morning, and Sakura had felt the feeling of dread and sorrow fall on her like a six-ton rock the same way it did when she was battling Eriol. A feeling of coming loss of those close to you, like your heart was starting to tear away. She caught up to him just in time, before he would leave for who-knows-how-long. Her heart was beating- she didn't want him to leave.
Wei, his butler handed him the teddy bear. She realized something her friends mentioned once, and requested if she could hold the plush in her arms. It was a legend in Tomoeda that if you make a teddy bear, name it after yourself, and give it to the number one person to you, the both of you would stay in love together for eternity.
He accepted, thrusting her heart into a realm of happiness. If Syaoran couldn't be there all the time, his teddy bear could. Her happiness wouldn't last forever, but she wasn't going to stop smiling because so.
Months later, when Sakura entered the sixth grade, they had bumped into each other at a playground, immediately reacting in shock from the encounter. She had tried several times to confess her feelings to him, because he had told her about his feelings directly, but always was interrupted. In the meantime, a lonely Clow Card with immense negative magical energy was wiping Tomoeda away bit by bit.
They had worked together to capture this card, but doing so required giving away their most important feeling, love. Syaoran was about to give his love for Sakura in exchange for the definite capture of the dangerous card, but a nameless card interfered and therefore gave itself up instead.
Sakura had created this card on the day of Syaoran's departure through her extreme emotion and flow of feelings. She felt an overly extreme weight of depression fall on her, used her distressed state as magical energy, and created her own Sakura Card. On it was a pure symbol of love.
She was glad she and Syaoran met, because without him, her life would be too much different from what it was now. He assisted in the sealing of magic cards and several times he helped her when she reached her limit, or when she was on the brink of defeat. He taught her to be a hard worker and comforted her when she had confessed her liking to Yukito, only to be gently rejected, and to have her feelings resorted. He gave her courage and strength, and she gave him a kind heart. They fit together like colorful jigsaw pieces.
Sakura held the bear to her chest and sighed. He, of course, had to leave again, but promised to meet again someday.
Kero burst into the room as spontaneously as an exploding bomb. He resembled a yellow plush toy with wings, but now Sakura understood that his true form was much different. "Sakura-chan!" the Guardian of the Sun cried out gleefully.
Sakura pouted as the quiet, thoughtful atmosphere that existed in her room two seconds ago was being blown apart as Kero's loud, enthusiastic voice shook the whole room. But she smiled again, because when Kero-chan was happy about something (as long as it wasn't some kind of sweet or dessert he sneaked) she would feel happy too. "What is it, Kero-chan?"
Kero hovered out of the room for a moment before returning with a white envelope in his jaws. Sakura took it gently and turned it over to open it.
“Mail? For me? Who is it from?” Sakura pondered as she ripped the paper open. Inside was a another folded sheet of paper. Sakura unfolded it and gasped as she recognized the handwriting as her beloved Syaoran’s.
Dear Sakura,
How are you doing? I don’t exactly know where to start with this letter, but I’m doing fine. I’m attending a Japanese class here in Hong Kong, so hopefully I’ll keep up with you. I’m getting better at the sword and martial arts.
I have to admit that I really miss you. Meilin does too, but she’s busy with her new boyfriend. She doesn’t fuss over me anymore, but it saves me a lot of backache. She says we’re lucky we have each other, since her boyfriend is “nothing compared to her ex-fiancée.”
I want to see you really soon. If anything happens with the Sakura Cards, let me know. I want to be there… just because.
Let me know how Daidouji-san is doing. I’m not really interested in how that four-eyed creep (referring to Eriol Hiiragizawa) is doing, but just tell me. And tell me about how Tsukishiro and Yue are doing.
Li Syaoran
P.S. I hope the plush toy isn’t getting fat from all those sweets.
A vein bulged on Kero’s forehead. “Damn that kozo (kid)! I would never get fat from all.. those delicious sweets…” Kero’s expression underwent a big change from furious to dreamy- most likely about sweets. “Oh, by the way, Sakura-chan, did you bring me any sweets from your visit to Tomoyo-chan’s place?” the Guardian snickered deviously as he cornered Sakura mentally. Kero rubbed his paws (or hands) together.
Sakura remained calm, since for now she had it perfectly safe. Her hand reached out to the handle of the second drawer down on her desk and she grabbed a bag of gummy candies she got yesterday, since she didn’t want Kero to know that she forget about him and his lust for candy.
“Wai, wai!” Kero screamed happily, zooming about the room joyfully like an uncontrollable rocket ship. He seized the bag and a gluttonous expression appeared on his face as he tore the sack open. “Arigatou, Sakura-sama!” he cried with his mouth full.
Sakura flopped on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. Her eyes closed slowly and lazily, but they didn’t open back up.
_________________________________________________________________
To douse a flame
Use water
Sakura opened her eyes and floated in space, stardust and gas swirling around her. “What…?”
To see through darkness
Use light
The voice was hollow and haunting, its tone monotonous and echoing slowly around the space. The stardust turned red and blue and black, some clouds starting to mix together.
To end a life
Find…
The voice trailed off and paused, as if it was hesitating. But as it announced the final word, its voice shook and made Sakura tremble- from the vibration of the voice or horror she could not remain conscious long enough to remember.
DEATH…
_________________________________________________________________
Sakura’s eyes burst open as she heard a knock on her wooden door. She recollected herself and another set of knocks were heard from the door.
“Sakura?” her brother called at the door.
“Onii-chan?” was her dazed reply.
Her brother opened the door and stuck his head in. Touya glanced around the room and locked eyes with Kero, who was desperately trying to look stuffed.
“Give it a break,” Touya told the Guardian’s false form. “I’ve known you to be alive for a while now.” Kero looked angry as he flew towards his Master’s sibling. Touya lifted his hand and flicked the plush toy away easily, sending him flying into the trashcan. Kero groaned as he struggled to get out.
“Onii-chan!” Sakura scolded. Her brother turned his attention back to her.
“Dinner’s ready,” he said, then added, “Kaijuu.”
“I’m not a Kaijuu (monster)!” she screamed as he closed the door. ARGH! She pouted, and Kero managed to yank himself out of the wastebasket’s opening after quite some effort. “Onii-chan can be so mean…”
_________________________________________________________________
“Itadakimasu!” the four people, excluding Kero, said in unison before beginning to eat. Kero sat in front of Sakura, being too small for his own chair. He still wasn’t used to the rest of the family knowing of his and Sakura’s magic, so he ate nervously. Either way, in a few moments he forgot the occasional looks from Fujitaka, Sakura’s father, and ate a bite after another.
Yukito sat opposite Touya while Sakura sat opposite her father and next to Yukito. Even after she found out her feelings for Yukito were not returned in the same way, she enjoyed his company very much. (Sakura had some romantic attachment to Yukito, but it was similar to a family love as well. Yukito loved her similar to the way he would love a sister.)
“I made your favorite, Sakura,” Fujitaka told his daughter. He got up from his seat and approached the stove and returned in a brief moment, with a fresh plate of fried shrimp. Its aroma and sensory appeal turned Sakura’s “world of heaven” switch on.
She thanked him and had a feast for herself…
Outside the window, a pair of silver eyes, glowing in the moonlight, peeked through an opening in the bush, concealing itself with the thick bounty of the leaves. They had been placed on Sakura for a while, as if it was an image set in stone. These eyes hardly blinked.
Sakura, up to now, had been feeling too much joy to feel the presence of the stranger’s gaze. She glanced out the window, but the presence disappeared.

Dear Syaoran,
Thank you for the letter- it was the only one I received so far. Another trimester of sixth grade is going to begin in a week-
“Hoe!” Sakura cried in realization that she hadn’t started her humongous pile of summer homework yet.
I forgot about summer homework until now…
Tomoyo-chan is doing wonderfully. She got a new camcorder with advanced technology and is still obsessed with filming me- even more than before. She films me everywhere, anytime, and while I’m doing almost anything. She said she wishes you were hear to watch all of it- I’m not sure. She’s filmed me eating at least ten times already, falling asleep in class two times, doing my cheerleading routine so many times I’ve lost count. But she loves filming my battles against things I made with the CREATE card the most. She would invite me over and let me watch all of it, I enjoy it, but sometimes I worry if filming me is Tomoyo-chan’s life overall…
Eriol-kun has returned for summer vacation and still attends class so he can spend time with everyone. He used his powers to that he could be a true sixth grader. Now he’s my age for sure, still with all the wisdom and magic, though. He’s taught me a bit of English. I can do the chant for the Star Key in English now.
Yukito is doing great. My magic power is enough to support Yue now, so Yukito’s feeling much better. If I had been stronger earlier, Onii-chan wouldn’t have had to give up his powers…
Will you be visiting anytime soon? If you do, Kero-chan will bug you to death if you didn’t bring anything sweet for him to eat.
Gomen, I really do want you to visit sometime before the summer is over, sweets or not. Receiving a letter from you makes me warm and happy inside, but I want to see your face again.
Really miss you,
Kinomoto Sakura~
