For the time was 6 years in the future; the gang are all 16 years old. It been 6 years since the last Clow card were converted to Sakura’s Control, but the world has changed, they live in what is now a cold and frightening future. Love and friendship ceases to exist from the result of there shame. Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo are now confined to the prison cells of medical lab. The secret magic Sakura had now become someone’s instrument for war.
Sakura looks weak and pale, starved of every basic human right. For information she exposed, tested with every form of torture known and treated like a second class human. Sakura and her friend’s future now were taking place isolated from this earth. Sakura looks out from her tiny cell window at a cold and depressing world that her soul is trapped in and brought upon; her mind lingers of what the world is doing about the other magical beings that surrounded her before.
She is feels the only one cursed, a curse in which eventually that cost her friends there freedom that night two years ago, that night which brought the end of her life as the card mistress, the beginning of a new holocaust that rid the earth of love, and the worst thing was…it was her fault.

Location: Tomoyo's Winter Retreat house
It’s about 2 weeks before that terrible day. In the far north of Tomoda, among the mountain range of the peaceful land, a large house stands in the valley of these mountains. The quiet peace of this place; prefect to have a quiet week with those you love. Sakura had came with Syaoran spend the holidays with each other. Since Sakura and Syaoran admitted there love, there was almost nothing stopping them becoming closer together, and bring Syaoran and Sakura a gift only they could share.
Tomoyo was in love as well, Eriol had fallen for her pretty much like Syaoran did for Sakura. Fortunately, Tomoyo could tell these things and it didn’t take all too long for Eriol who had forgotten how hard it was to love, being a re-incarnation of the most powerful sorcerer is one thing, making Tomoyo know how you felt was completely another matter. Eriol spent every moment he had with Tomoyo for sometime before they admitted there true feelings. Together, both couples enjoyed there company, and every time they could; they would all get away to somewhere like Daidouji Winter Retreat house.
With Sakura’s powerful cards and magic in full control, the event of strange activities stopped. Making Sakura happy and safely new that would almost assure her magic never would be reveled for the remainder to the open public of her life. Distance from the world, there special and unique gifts. Like the entire magic world, it was another secret unlike any other.
In the tall mountains not so fall from Tomoyo’s Winter Home, in the lush green trees blanketed with snow, this had been a place Sakura liked a lot, it was very peaceful, its clear exceptional beauty that this pristine valley made Sakura remind herself of the life she loved it was a clear reminder of how much her life now meant, Sakura’s life had reached perfection now, as far as she could think.
It was a warm Saturday afternoon. The sun had almost set over the hills to the west. Sakura and her companions gathered outside near an opening, where once horses were kept, Sakura and her friends played.
“Sakura-Chan, do you want to go ice skating?” Tomoyo spoke.
“But, Sakura-Chan, the nearest lake is not for miles” Sakura said.
“But Sakura-Chan, when there a girl with magic, there is a way” Eriol noted to Sakura.
Sakura glanced around and sighed “At least the cards will happy I still use them”
In the high mountains above Tomoyo’s home, a black spot tracks in between the undergrowth and the trees, the white cover or a bare mount the removes from hiding what appears to be a lump of snow moving, this is not, it is man in white, wearing the symbol of American intelligence, He is a rookie almost, the first time he had been sent on field work, and he was lost, why he was there? Not even he knew why…all he was meant to do was look from strange things.
The man stumbles around, the steep angle of the hill makes it impossible to walk and stay balanced for very long. The View he receives gives him a perfect view of the house and the field in front of it. The spy gives up trying to walk, and finds a some place to sit, the sun was setting and he hadn’t a clue were he was. Where he sat, he looked.
“I spent 5 years in the academy, and for what…I joined to hunt for drug dealers and terrorists, and for what do I get, strolling around in the cold mountains looking watching spoilt brats on there holidays”
He did not care much for the environment around him; he thought very little of anything that he thought was a waste of time. Lost and tired, he sits down on a log, he was about to get out a map and torch, as he looked onto the lodge.
“Brats” the agent thought to himself “Hope there parents are drug dealers, maybe then them top brass can give me a real job for once”
The agent then looks for a cigarette and puts it in his mouth, as he lights it.  The wind picks up, blowing right at him, it puts out the lighter flame, the agent is angry and re-lights his cigarette. He looks up to the lodge again. He paused for a second, the cigarette dropped into the snow and went out, and then he heard the strangest sound. It came in the direction that he first had given his attention.
Then saw something he needed to record. The agent quickly grabs a camera and starts to record Sakura reciting the incantation of the key of the star. Standing in a small bright circle a whirl wind circled the young girl. He could barely here her speaking, and then a flash. Inside the whirl of wind, a dark blue steam burst out of small piece of a tiny evaporating rectangle piece of paper.
The blue stream arced high and hit the ground, surprised it didn’t make a deep hole, the blue spread out across the enclosed box and formed a perfect circle. And lay still. Then this character once again made the ground light up around her feet. Again the wind swirled, and again a flash came, there seamed to be a pattern of this unusual thing. He observed as a lighter blue figure blew right over the horse paddock, it then made the dark blue disappear or so much froze the weird thing.
The winds died down and so did the light around that certain person, the Agent couldn’t believe his eyes, something this powerful, he just perked up and started to record every single thing.
“What is that? And why are they using it?” the agent said watching the 4 head back to there homestead.
In the meantime, Sakura and Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran walk to the winter lodge.
“I hope that the cards don’t mind I’m using them for this, like…they are like my friends too” Sakura pondering…
"Sakura-Chan, you heard the mirror card, they like you to be there card mistress; they’d do anything for you” Tomoyo spoke.
“It’s true” Eriol spoke “You don’t think Clow-san didn’t use it like this”
“Eriol-kun, I’m not Clow-san”
“Sakura-Chan, I told you…twice, you are you, and Clow-san was himself”
Sakura made a made a look of confusion, seeing that Eriol was talking about himself or at least who he use to be, Sakura seemed to agree and looked to Syaoran for an answer.
Tomoyo giggled behind Sakura.
“Do we all have to go get our skates, can’t you go get them for me” Tomoyo spoke, to the both Syaoran and Eriol.
Syaoran and Eriol looked at Tomoyo, then at each other, and then commenced a race making a dash straight for the house.
“You wanted to do that, didn’t you Tomoyo-Chan” Sakura giggled.
Despite Syaoran and Eriol’s evolved friendship, there were still some ice thrones that appeared around the grounds of who was the best out of them. Syaoran and Eriol are neck to neck when Syaoran and Eriol reached the door. Sakura and Tomoyo stood outside of the lodge; the quiet was inexistence for less than a minute.
As quickly the silence came to valley, the noise of returned as Syaoran and Eriol race still neck and neck each carrying two pairs of skating boots. Sakura and Tomoyo are almost knocked down as Syaoran and Eriol speed past them.
Sakura turns around and watches them stop, Syaoran gives Sakura her pair and Eriol gives Tomoyo her pair. Sakura and Tomoyo notice and inspect there boots, Sakura then giggles a bit.
“Um Syaoran-kun” Sakura giggled “This is Tomoyo-Chan’s skating boots, not mine”
Syaoran and Eriol fall backwards in the snow.
The group then changed there boots again and the girls began to skate. Syaoran and Eriol followed suit. Syaoran then jumped on to the ice and started to skate, very well, after Sakura had taught him over the. They all skated around in peaceful serenity around Sakura’s creation from her magic, little much realizing that her secret was being watched.
“I need to get closer” the agent said to himself.
The agent got up again and started to rush down the side of the mountain, tripping on just about everything, lucky not being noticed. He managed to get within a 30 meters he crept in the bush and looked forward towards the group of four, he started to write down what he saw and remained active with a camera and voice recorder.
He watched on as Sakura and Tomoyo are moving on around the ice field. He carefully observes Sakura most of all, and watched her every move.
“Hey Sakura-Chan!” Tomoyo spoke “Simile!!!”
Sakura turned a around and started to skate backwards. Tomoyo then slung out hr video camera and began to record, Sakura performed some tricks for the camera, Tomoyo and Sakura smiled. As she turned back to Tomoyo Syaoran over took Sakura and suddenly slowed down, Syaoran lost his balance and fell, again.
“Sakura-Chan! Look out!” Tomoyo yelled.
Sakura turned around and saw Syaoran too late; she tripped on his back foot and land right onto Syaoran’s chest. She slides with Syaoran until they came to a stop.

Syaoran after he got pushed to the hardened ice. Although Sakura was a comfortable weight on top of him, the freezing cold ice was unbearable.
“Sakura-Chan, You okay?” Tomoyo spoke, sliding to a stop.
“Yes” Sakura responded.
“I don’t wish to be rude, but I’d like to like to be off me, the ice is starting to freeze my back” Spoke Syaoran.
“I’m so sorry, Syaoran-kun” Sakura spoke, quickly jumped up off Syaoran.
Eriol looked up at the hills towards the sunset. He approached the trio and helped Syaoran up.
“Look at the time, it almost 5, we should call it a day” Eriol said
“I suppose so, time for dinner” Tomoyo agreeing
Sakura agreed and everyone got off the ice, Sakura then transformed the water and ice into cards again.
“That was a fun day Sakura-Chan” Tomoyo spoke.
“I suppose so” Syaoran said walking slower.
Sakura turned to Syaoran “Are you alright? Let me help you”
“Ok” Sakura takes Syaoran and they walk helping Syaoran keep balance.
Meanwhile up in the hills, the agent runs without his backpack, only with a torch and his camera. He run thought terrain, leaving a path of destruction behind him, a sign of is disrespect for nature. He found a road and ran down until he saw a white van
"Liven those wires, I found something over the ridge back there”
“Agent 564, you haven’t found a thing here, and you want to know why? Because them top brass don’t care about what we do, they put us here because we are the only unit in Asia that is unable to keep track of anyone” The radio operator spoke “and we are unable to make so many mistakes, out here”
“Well the pentagon is wrong” The agent spoke back “I thought think the same, until I saw this”
The Agent grabs his camera and rewinds it to before the magic stunt. Hooks it to the computer and plays the tape.
“I don’t see anything suspect” The Radio Operator spoke.
“Just keep an eye on this girl” the agent pointing at the screen.
“She reminds me of my daughter” The Radio Operator joked.
The video plays, hearing the noise of Agent 564 lighting up. Then the girl there watching speaks, as she does a small white ball appears and opens to a staff. The Radio operator drops his cigarette he had in his mouth. They watch the entire video.
“Well?”
“That’s not going to stand up as a case” The operator spoke “Get move evidence and it then I’ll send it”
“Sure”
The agent set out back towards to where he left his bag. Knowing for once he had a job he could do. He ran thought the same path he took and reached the lodge just after sunset. Snow started lightly fall.
“Great, it’s going to a cold and boring night” the agent speaks as he watches the lodge dinning room.
The intermission of quiet outside kept him saying nothing and him lunching from a distance, he gazed at them alone, no parents around. He stared intensely at Sakura, something that innocent holding so much power. He stared ad waited. He grabbed his silencer gun and pointed it at the house; he fired a rope and anchor at the top of the overhang outside the dinning room.
The Projectile hit the snow on top; a stringy cable connected to the bullet is wired to a recorder and earpiece.
“Sakura-Chan” Tomoyo spoke “did you hear something outside.
“Not really” Sakura responded.
The agent tugs the line a bit and makes snow fall off the line. He can here them. Inside Sakura and Tomoyo and Syaoran were sitting to dinner, Eriol was cooking.
“It’s been a great weekend Tomoyo-Chan” Sakura complemented “Its being so nice recently that we haven’t had any problems”
“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself Sakura-Chan” Tomoyo replied.
“Well its not over yet” Eriol speaking, as he brought the dinner out “I hope you enjoy it”
“Thank you, it looks fantastic” Sakura.
The group of four speak in there version of grace. They then enjoyed each others company in the sharing of meal, or more like a feast to Sakura. The Agent from outside looked at them in, but he remained focused on the task at observing them. About half an hour later,
“Thank you for the dinner Eriol-kun” Complemented Sakura. 
“Im glad you enjoyed the meal”
“You’re such a good cook Eriol-kun, but if cooked for me all the time I’d end up getting fat” Sakura joked.
“Well, Sakura-Chan I wouldn’t that to happen, right Syaoran-kun”
Syaoran took notice made a blank looked at Eriol from that comment and then at Sakura, Tomoyo giggled.
“Yawn” Sakura spoke “I don’t know about you 3 but im tired.
“I agree” Tomoyo-Chan speaking and yawning as well.
“I think its best that we call it a night” Eriol announced.
The four begin upstairs to there rooms, Syaoran and Sakura in one and Tomoyo and Eriol in the other.
“Good night Tomoyo-Chan” Sakura spoke tired.
“Good night Sakura-Chan” Tomoyo giggled.
Syaoran went to the bathroom while Sakura went and changed into her new night gown Tomoyo had given Sakura for her birthday last week.
“Im tired Syaoran. I’ll be lying on the bed.
Soon enough Syaoran came in wearing something else to sleep in.
“It was a good day today, and a nice dinner that fill me up, and I’m with the person I love the most” Sakura said half asleep, turned over to face
Syaoran hugged Sakura’s waist “I know, I did as well”
“Good night Syaoran-kun”
“Good night Sakura-Chan”
Syaoran turned the light out and both fell asleep in each others company.

Outside, a cold and tired agent waited.
“So her name is Sakura, her friends are Tomoyo and Eriol and her Boyfriend is called Syaoran” as he notes in pen “I wonder what else there is to her”
The agent stood in the dark cold waiting for something to happen. He was about to leave when the audio picked something up.
“Sakura-Chan” Syaoran spoke softly.
“Hoe? Syaoran-kun its 3 in the morning”
“Lets go for a walk, to the top of the mountain there” Syaoran pointing out the window
“Okay, if im with you”
“You will be Sakura-Chan” Syaoran putting on something warm.
Sakura and Syaoran put on clothes and walked down quietly. Both stepped outside and walked into the open, above them Sakura’s eye’s lit up. Syaoran and Sakura stepped into the open where a half moon shone over them.
Syaoran the spoke “Lets go”
The agent listened carefully slowly grabbed an audio recorder and left his post. Sakura and Syaoran began there morning trek up the mountain to the summit, far behind was the agent followed them. At the summit that looked far over the valley below, cross to the sea in to the east, Sakura and Syaoran stand before natures gifts, and gaze at the first light of the new day Syaoran hugs Sakura’s waist and speaks to her.
“Good Morning Sakura-Chan” Syaoran softly whispers in her ear.
Sakura and Syaoran embrace the sun’s first rays on this pristine part of the world. The trees fed the new light that shone into the deep valley below them. Mountain sides begin to light on the mountains. Birds awoke and chirped, and flew into the valley.
“Syaoran, you want to fly with me”
“Anything if I’m with my card mistress”
In the bush, less the ten meters away, the agent held on to his breath. One tiny move would blow his cover, he revealed a video camera and started to record them.
“Yes Sakura, show me your secret”
Sakura stood in the center of the opening, Syaoran on the side watching. Sakura undid her necklace and held it front of her.
She recited the incantation that would open her staff, and extracted the fly card from her pack.
“Fly, form wings on my staff”
The fly’s sprit emerged from the card and took shape around the staff, and formed 2 wings at the end, Sakura and Syaoran Climbed on and took off. They flew in close speed with the birds, gracing in time with the morning breeze, the started to descend down the mountain on Sakura’s staff, watching her above now, the agent emerged from his nest, and looked at the duo fly back to the lodge.
“Enjoy it now Sakura, soon you’ll regret using those cards”

Location: Pentagon. Washington D.C.
Halfway around the world, its Saturday afternoon still in the city of misery, the air is filled with the aura of corruption and lies, the breezes said around the direction of progress and hate. Not far from the home of the most powerful person lies a building of five sides. Inside these walls are the most dangerous minds in the business, minds that crave destruction of its foes and the installment of fear into its enemies.
The temperature drops around the grey walls of this building, inside, it is colder as if to the journey to center of a the installer of hate, and the bringer of death. Inside these cold dark walls, in side the maze of wards of the office of high command, a young man in dark navy uniform dashes hastily thought the dark corridors, cutting through other person’s progress, the man runs as fast as he can towards an elevator, entering, he immediately presses the top floor button a few times.
The door closes with a silent bang and goes rises to the top floor. The young man continues his journey into a ward room on the side reads “National Strategic Service Command” He enters the office to the end, facing below towards a building across the lake. The young man stop running suddenly and slowly approached in appeared to be an old man.
The old man looked towards the younger officer slowly. The old man was a general, 5 stars to say the least. A man of many combatant years, evident by the ribbons he wore with each a memory inside the fabric. The young man stood and saluted sharply, the old man did as just, but in a slower sense.
“Son, what gives you the courage to pass through two armed guards and approach the your most senior commander, what do you want to speak” the old general spoke with a grunge in his voice “Speak up solider”
"Genera sir, I have just received a Received Emergency Action Message from the Japanese CIA operations” Spoke the young man.
“Son, why are you telling me? There are other people that take care of that certain matter in regard to what those egg heads in Langley think is a global threat, you report to your commanding officer, and he’ll submit me a report…”
“Sir, my commanding officer told me to go to you, sir” interrupted the young man
“Solider, watch your mouth in front of me, I’m the highest ranking commander in the entire United States military” the old man snapped at the young lieutenant.
“I’m sorry sir, but please read this before you make a further comment, sir”
The general receives the piece of paper and reads quickly, we scans quickly and then stops on something, and brings his eyes to the top of the paper again slowly reading it again, when he finishes, we read it two more times before putting it down onto the lieutenant’s hand.
“Sir, the audio and video evidence, is being downloaded; I suggest that you call a meeting…”
The general reaches down and pickles up the red phone an presses the top speed-dial button on the phone
“Yes, get me the secretary of defense…I don’t care what meeting, get me the war cabinet and assemble them at the white house, get me the chief of the CIA in my office” the general spoke “alert the president, we have a crisis”

“Gentlemen please” said the spokes person
“What have you called us for?” said a admiral of the navy “no details, no nothing”
“Gentlemen, we could not tell you because we are still without an explanation on this thing”
“So why have you called us”
“Because after you leave this room gentlemen, your understanding of world power will be changed forever” Spoke the chief commander of the military “shall we begin?”
The doors opened, entering the most powerful man in the world, the president sits at his sit and speaks,
“Okay, I had a dinner tonight, I’m going to have supporters wondering were there leader is, now why have you dragged me here”
“General, Mr. President, what we are about to show you must remain a high priory of secret, there is to be no disclosure what so ever in regard to what we are about to see” The secretary of defense spoke sternly “lieutenant?”
“Yes sir, lights please” The officer spoke, the lights dimmed and a projector turned on “Gentlemen, the last 24 hours have been a mixture of many things, on thing in particular is this person here”
A Picture of Sakura and hold her staff from 300 meters away
“Who is this?” The president exclaimed,
“This sir is the first proven case of supernatural power ever to be record. She goes by the name of Sakura, A.K.A ‘The Mistress of the Cards’. Our operation team has being very lucky to spot this abnormally, Sakura and three of her associates in the previous 24 hours, using something with great power. Sakura is in passion of what we have come to know as magic cards, containing an incredible amount of force with seem to obey to her every whim, Sakura seems a disordering person, but appears to act seemly normal”
“Secretary, before you lag us on with this fairy tale, can you assert to me that there is proof?”
“That is were we can help you” the speaker replied “The agent that was more then lucky to of spot this event was able to remain unseen to the person in question, on two occasions, this video is the entire footage shown during an event about 24 hours ago and again 4 hours ago”
“Gentlemen, I received this same order less then two hours ago, I couldn’t believe my eyes either, until you see this” the chief of the CIA spoke
The speaker commenced the showing of the first film entirely. When it concluded, the entire room exploded into argument, air force commanders and admirals mad statement threats of what the two magic forces could do to there planes and ships, army generals talked about the public reaction if they kidnapped her.
“Gentlemen” he president spoke up “We are dealing with a threat Gentlemen, a threat to the united states and this world, I think we should act”
“We have no evidence yet we do know that, she can not be alone in her actions, her friends we suspect might” the Generals spoke up “and how many of these ‘cards’ does she have?”
“52 cards, a photograph here, shown her removing what is called the ‘fly’ card, the practical card she is taking to use, made this staff capable of aerial fight, not just only did it support her, but this other person as well, her supposed boyfriend by the name Syaoran”
The speaker shows footage of the ‘fly card, being used, an then air force commander spoke,
“The girl could out-do our fighters if she is able to do those stunts”
“Gentlemen that conclude all the information gathered here, our operatives have reported that the suspects have left heading south, we have identified the number plate of the vehicle and as we speak tracing were movements.
“Mr. President? Your comments”
“Gentlemen, what we have seen is the most threatening thing I’ve seen, that could have the ability to overrun this government, and every democratic country on he face of he earth, Gentlemen, we are going to capture her, and he friends, and expose her for the true evil she is, you have two weeks”
The generals around the table looked carefully at the president, his face then told them work had to be done.

Time: 12:30pm, April 22nd, 2007

Location: Tomoda High School

Around in the air, the mood changes as the seasons start to change. The sun appears strong and dominant, the trees and flowers re-incarnate once more. Sakura enjoys this time the most around Tomoda, the season of re-birth, meaning and love. Birds and flowers appears much more vibrant in the palette again, once more the lined streets of cherry blossoms bloom as behind all of this, the presence of a evil lurks and appears in and around the world of Sakura’s unspoiled home.
In between the clean serenity of the cherry blossoms that Sakura passes lurks a black smudge in the portrait. Sakura and her fellowship are unaware of the presence of eyes watching them closely. There lives were been the center of attention for two weeks. Those who are interested were only interested in one thing that they rarely showed, there magic. One cloudy day had come upon the quiet city of Tomoda, Sakura wouldn’t realize it yet, but today would become what would be to be the last day of comforting freedom in there souls.
As now a young a beautiful lady, Sakura walks down the halls of the High school, a tall slender body she had reinforced her quiet and opening hope to the stone hearts of people, others would fear. Sakura walked down the hall with her long time accomplice and true friend of friends, Tomoyo. Tomoyo has since in the time admitted her feelings about Sakura and how she felt when Syaoran came into her life, but remains happy to see her grow up from the side and that herself and Sakura are constantly happy together.
A lot has changed since the last card was sealed. Tomoyo has grown up along side Sakura as an equally beautiful lady, Tomoyo sometimes lived with Eriol when her ever busy mother went abroad. Tomoyo learnt a lot more about life through Eriol’s reincarnated mind of Clow. Learning about Sakura in ways she never thought of. Eriol always enjoyed his girlfriend’s company and love. Making him find new love as his predecessor did once. They lived happily together, Eriol always making Tomoyo beautiful and tasty dinners; Tomoyo quite enjoyed them, so much that she at a stage was starting to get noticeable softer. Tomoyo spent many hours with Eriol in front of a fire in a private room at home together.
Sakura and Tomoyo were walking down the halls of Tomoda High school, remising memories of the days of when Sakura was a card captor. Unaware of the presence that she was attracting. Sakura and Tomoyo continued to the court yard where Syaoran and Eriol were discussing something in private. Sakura stopped at the flight of stairs and stopped Tomoyo.
“Look, over there” Sakura whispered to Tomoyo
“What could they be talking about” Tomoyo whispered back.
“Let’s give them some privacy” Sakura spoke.
Tomoyo agreed and went with Sakura down another flight of stairs towards were Rita, Naoko and Chiharu were sitting. In the medium, Syaoran and Eriol stand in the corner of the Courtyard. Both were hiding in the shadow the building was allowing to give privacy to there important discussion.
“Syaoran-kun, have you found your ring?” Eriol asked almost sternly “Remember our pact”
“Yes Eriol-kun” Syaoran answered “So why have you brought me here?”
“Two reasons Syaoran-kun” Eriol explained “Firstly, tonight I’m going to propose to my beloved Tomoyo-Chan, just before she sings tonight are the concert”
“I was waiting for you to say that, but for my reasons, I’ll pick a more peaceful setting, I want us to go to Penguin Park after the concert, so I can propose to Sakura-Chan” Syaoran answered and explained “Tonight, I want to make it the most memorable night of all our lives”
“That’s also another the second thing we must talk about, I believe that our honor of protecting our beloveds may be put to the test tonight as well” Eriol warned as Sakura began to approach “I fear that our lives may change in more ways then one”
Syaoran stared at Eriol blankly, and then resumed his gaze to something else. Sakura approaches and meets, they then all move of to eat lunch.

Time: 6:30pm, April 22nd, 2007

Location: Tomoda High School Auditorium
The night was becoming cold and the weather seemed to be clear that night, Sakura wore a dress Tomoyo made for the event, lined in purple and blue Saturn silk, with a fleshly picked Cherry Blossom on the top left corner on the strap. Syaoran wore a formal outfit as did Eriol, who quite more looked like an old English gentlemen then a young Japanese magician.
As Sakura moved up the stairs, Syaoran looked at her for a minute as she seamlessly was slower then normal self, Eriol and Tomoyo walked into an empty corridor whist Sakura and Syaoran waited in the foyer for Eriol to return, Syaoran looked at Sakura closely, she seemed edgy and quite nervous. Syaoran confronted her with concern.
“Why are you feeling edgy tonight?” Syaoran asked.
Sakura opened her eyes more and spoke almost shaking “I felt a presence of something on the way home today, I haven’t felt it in so long. When I got home I did a reading of my future”
Syaoran looked at her almost in surprise, almost nothing scared her “What did your future tell you?”
Sakura took a breath and quietly spoke “My worst fear will come true tonight”
Syaoran stood there and looked at Sakura almost start to cry, he stepped towards her and let Sakura’s head fall into her chest as Sakura was about to cry and calmed her back, softly hugging Sakura’s warm skin. Sakura looked at her and warmed herself again; Sakura lit her eyes again and looked at her. Her soul warmed up and her tears dried.
“My cherry Blossom, no man or sprit will harm you; I promise that from tonight and every moment onwards that I will protect you when you are sick, weak or afraid, I shall be beside you”
Sakura hugged Syaoran more tightly, as they did Eriol and Tomoyo return to the foyer, Sakura confused by Tomoyo’s extreme happiness, Eriol only giving Syaoran a wink to say that she has accepted.
“Sakura-Chan” Tomoyo spoke as they approached.
“Tomoyo-Chan, shouldn’t be backstage right now?”
Tomoyo exclaimed and giggled “I forgot”
“Tomoyo-Chan, how could you forget?”
“Um…I’ll tell you afterwards” Tomoyo giggling even more.
Sakura stood there confused as ever, trying to figure out what Eriol said that made her so happy
“My Sakura-Chan dear, have you been crying?” Eriol commented.
Syaoran stood up straight and looked at him “She felt something” Syaoran spoke “Something of her fears coming to life”
Sakura felt both protected and confused by the exchange between Syaoran and Eroil, but she then made sense of everything and smiled.
“Thanks ok Sakura, everything will surely be alright” Syaoran spoke.
Sakura stood up and took Syaoran by the hand, then proceeded into the main hall with Eriol on her left and her most beloved on her right

Once the concert had concluded, the cheers of the crowds rumbled the heart of the young Tomoyo. She made her exited from the stage and proceeded to quickly change as she wanted to see the next thing to happen tonight. Sakura and Syaoran proceeded to the foyer, and decided that Eriol, Sakura and Syaoran would part ways for the meantime and wait while Eriol went to receive Tomoyo. Sakura and Syaoran exited the building and walked out and were gushed into the chilling cold air that bound them in the cold night. Sakura put on the coat she had brought and looked into the direction of the park.
“Sakura-Chan?” Syaoran asked politely.
“Yes Syaoran-kun” Sakura answering in a calm voice.
“You are still worried? About your fears”
“No, I’m just glad that tonight…that nothing had gone wrong” Sakura turned to hug Syaoran “Can you forgive me for acting sad before?”
“Oh course Sakura-Chan” Syaoran “I always forgive you”
“Thank you” Sakura’s eyes closed to appeal her tiredness “Lets go home”
As Syaoran and Sakura were about to kiss, he doors open with Eriol and Tomoyo walking out. Sakura and Syoaran pull back from a kiss but continue to hold each other. They eventually release each other and begin down the stairs and towards Penguin Park.
The evening was fresh and cold, the water reflected like a mirror, a perfect reflection of the image above them in the night sky, an assembly of white dots blanketing the sky with a full moon at presence brightly over Tomoda, Sakura walked in time with Tomoyo as she waited to hear of Sakura’s comments about her performance. As Sakura walked, she was blinded by a twinkle of bright light into her right eye. She rubbed it and tried to force its source of the light, the light of the moon reflected on a silver ring that now appeared on Tomoyo’s Hand. Sakura skated around to face her.
“Tomoyo-Chan, since when did you have a ring on your finger?” Sakura ask her friend politely.
Tomoyo blushed and confronted to face Sakura, Syaoran started to sweat as he reached into his pocket for a small box.
“Before the concert, Eriol came to me and…”
As Tomoyo was about to tell her, and as if it was the key note of a song the ground rumbled as all of a sudden two loud explosions went off. Then everything went silent and in slow motion, The girls instantly screamed but the noise was muted, Syaoran quickly caught Sakura and covered her, onto the ground, they then looked at Eriol, Eriol looked at Tomoyo who was on her knees bleeding and saw a red light pointing at her, he ran towards her and jumped in front of her, facing her, the noise of bullets hitting flesh was the only noise auditable, still in slow motion Eriol body took shock waves of a bullet impacting in his back, he jolted 6 times, then his body hit the ground, he then rolled on to his back.
The silent was absorbed with sound again, and time resumed. Eriol mouth opened as air quickly escaped through his mouth, he’s voice started to make only a light noise as he the air came out, he cold air crystallized his last breathes the noise of air exiting him, with the steam heat of his arm body starting to retreat out.
"Eriol!!!" Tomoyo yelled at the top of her lungs.
Tomoyo disregarded her own safety and came to Eriol body, she dropped right on to him and picked up her hand, he could barely speak but he tried to say a last word to her
“I…love…you…” Eriol’s blue lips spoke words once more and stopped.
His face stopped moving, his eyes stopped blinking and came out of focus and motionless. Eriol’s entire body slow became very pale; the pavement was being covered in a rich red substance, blood. Eriol was not moving at all, Eriol had died protecting his Beloved.
Tomoyo’s body dropped onto her, crying in a burst. "Why?, who could do such a thing?”
Sakura and Syaoran were surprised by the absence of action the got up and looked. As they walked to Tomoyo, the sound of gunfire cracked and rittald the the trees and quickl Sakura and Syaoran ducked.
“The game is up Sakura, you have lost” yelled a man pointing a rifle at them, behind him assembled marines with automatic weapons. Another dozen marines came out of the bushes behind them and helicopters appeared out of nowhere, American CIA agents, American marines surfaced from the lake. Sakura was surrounded and outnumber 200 to 1. Sakura and Syaoran went back to back and waited to see what happened next.
“Sakura, now if you do use your magic, we will kill your friends and you, and you know that” The man spoke.
“Who are you?” Syaoran yelled
“We are the saviors of this planet, he are here to stop your kind from ruling the world”
Sakura and Syaoran’s anger inflected by accident and activated there sword and staff.
“Sakura” the man yelled “you made a terrible mistake” the man the yelled “do not kill them, we need them alive.
The men didn’t haste, and Shot single rounds around Sakura three hitting her arms and legs and a further two shots directly into the staff, snapping it in two. Sakura dropped and hit the ground. Syaoran yelled and prepared to use fire, two marines shot him 5 times in the chest and arms.
“ARHHHGG” Syaoran yelled in pain, he dropped to the ground, 2 men surrounded him, pointed the guns at him, but didn’t shoot.
“Syaoran-kun! Sakura-Chan!” Tomoyo yelled. Tomoyo got up. Suddenly she froze expected to die in another hail of bullets, but nobody shot her.
“Tomoyo, I wouldn’t want to make the same mistake as Sakura and Syaoran, now would you? I know you have no magic, so we could kill you, but we wont” the man yelled to the marines to retrieved Sakura and Syaoran’s bodies and were quickly put into an ambulance, Tomoyo waked towards the man and asked,
“What about Eriol”
The man looked at the body of Eriol and then looked back to Tomoyo “He’s Dead, the marines will dispose of the body”
Tomoyo returned to the body of Eriol, as she turned to Eriol's body over, She saw Eriol's magic key, she undid the chain and took his key and then took his glasses, then Tomoyo kissed her beloved one more time. A marine slapped her away from the body; she was handcuffed as she saw the soldiers throw Eriol's body in the lake at the park. Sakura not realize how much her life would change after that in her darkest hour.

Sakura woke up, slowly. Her eyes were fuzzy, she tried to wipe them but she couldn’t move her hand to her face. Her eye gained focus and she stared to get an idea of where she was. Her clothes had been removed and were lying on a table wear all of her things were laid out; she was dressed in only a white robe, nothing underneath.
To her left lay Tomoyo still asleep and Syaoran to her right in another white robe with his belongings on the table. Sakura tried to struggle but lost energy. She tried to get an idea were she was. Finally her eyes stopped hurting everything came into clear focus. She was in a room, in was cold. The walls were stainless steal; everything in the room was stainless steal. There were three beds and three tables. Sakura managed to sit up in her bed and look around better, there was one white light above her, Tomoyo and Syaoran. There appeared to be only one door. Sakura felt like she couldn’t walk, so she tried to get Syaoran up.
“Syaoran-kun?” Sakura spoke quietly.
Syaoran mumbled and looked for the voice that he heard “Sakura, are you alive or am I dead?”
“We’re alive, I think” she responded half glad.
Syaoran managed to awaken and started to focus his eyes, he then sat up.
“Sakura, I’m come to you “Syaoran announced.
“Don’t, your legs are still weak” Sakura spoke.
Syaoran climbed out of the bed and walk, he stumbled and staggered to the ground, he then crawled towards Sakura’s bed.
“My legs are too weak!” Syaoran then climbed up the side to Sakura and climbed on to Sakura’s bed and collapsed. Sakura was use to Syaoran’s weight on her and didn’t mind at all, she felt like everything was being crushed.
“Syaoran-kun, you’re crushing me” Sakura whimpered.
“Sorry” Syaoran puffed, lacking the energy.
Syaoran then heaved to Sakura’s left side and lay down Sakura moved a bit over so Syaoran didn’t fall off. Both lay on there backs and looked at only the ceiling.
“What happened to us?” Sakura spoke,
“We were shot in the legs; our bodies might not be able to work them anymore”
“What about Tomoyo” Sakura turned to look at Tomoyo “she looks…”
“She wasn’t shot, she is merely asleep”
Tomoyo lay on the bed, she looked like she had been crying for hours, and she slept soundlessly and calmly. You could almost mistake Tomoyo for being dead. Her hair was messy, not normal for Tomoyo to leave it like that, her normally clean body covered with scars and bandages. And her eyes had black tear liners, from the makeup and her crying.
“Wake her up” Syaoran said “we need her awake”
Sakura couldn’t speak loud enough. So she climbed out of bed and dropped to the floor. Like Syaoran, she slid her half dead body, across the floor and reached Tomoyo’s bed. Sakura climbed up onto her knee’s and came face to face with Tomoyo sleeping. From up close, Sakura could hear Tomoyo’s nose and mouth breathing very gently, her eyes were still moistened with tears rolling down her cheeks. Sakura gave a light tap on her arm.
Tomoyo moved a bit, and rolled onto her back, Sakura touched her neck, her soft and sometimes thick skin was warm, the nerves vibrated and her pulse could be felt, Sakura tried again to wake Tomoyo up. With success, Tomoyo turned back over towards Sakura and opened her blue eyes.
“Sakura-Chan?” Tomoyo’s lips slowly moved, they seemed as they were blocked and stuck, Tomoyo’s eye’s widened and slowly regained focus.
“Tomoyo-Chan, it’s me, Sakura”
Tomoyo still couldn’t hear Sakura yet but her face meant more then anything Sakura could say
Tomoyo took some time to wake up, after a while; she helped Sakura back to her bed and went to the table with her evening gouwn and belongings. Tomoyo stood and approached Sakura again.
“Tomoyo-Chan, do you know where we are?” asked Sakura,
“I don’t know, but we were on a plane for a while” Tomoyo responded.
Just as Tomoyo answered the question, a buzzing noise came and went, and then in front of Sakura and her friends, the door opened. In came 4 air force armed guards and 2 other person’s in high rank. Sakura and Syaoran couldn’t stand, and had no magic for them to use.
“General, these are the people we hunted down last night, and brought back here” spoke the Major.
“Good morning Sakura, Welcome to the Langley Air force base, Washington D.C” Spoke the commanding general.
Sakura and her friends froze.
“I’ve just wanted to visit you, despite the reputation the media has made of you, of your paretic attempts to defeat us in the previous 48 hours.”
Syaoran looked and attempted to stand up and fell. All of the guards flinched and pointed the guns at Syaoran.
“Don’t shoot” the Major yelling.
“What happened to our legs” Sakura cried.
“Nothing, they have being given an injection of nerve de-simulates, you will able to walk in a while” the major spoke to Sakura sternly.
Sakura nodded in acknowledgement. Surprising the General.
“You are very cooperative, that’s good for a prisoner”
All three pricked of them pricked there ears hearing that word
“Prisoners? What have we done to harm you?”
“My commanding officers and the CIA made the order for you to captured, as your ‘magic’ has been considered a threat. The president this morning made full disclosure about you Sakura” the general explained.
“What! Why!” Sakura spoke.
“Because we know your true powers Sakura” Spoke a man entering the room “But we don’t know your intentions were for good, but as you proved, they weren’t; now…you are going to tell me everything”
“How many people know about my magic?” Sakura asked politely.
“Well, you should see for yourself” the integrator spoke.
Another person rolled in a Television set on a stand and turned it on
“This is CNN; I’m Bruce McKay, coming back to the main story, ‘Lie or truth; the mystery of Sakura’. After the pentagon’s release of information yesterday of claming to of captured the first known magician Sakura, has become an international headline around the world, mixed reactions from Japan, mainly on the fact that the first attack on Japanese soil since the Second world war in the space of a few hours, American soldiers purposely damaged buildings and captured its people. The illegal act of war on Japan, this news has cause all outrage in china, North and South Korea and in Russia, are intending that this ‘act’ of capturing a supposed magical being, is being considered as an ‘act’ for another global conflict, the president will make a national address tonight, with clam that the untied states government will release video footage shot...”
“I don’t believe this” Syaoran commented.
“Well, believe this; at 6pm tonight, 1.2 Billion people are going to learn the truth about you, your secret will be broadcast to every single nation in the western world”
Tomoyo and Sakura hold on to each other and watch the television
“…in more news, the Russian president slammed the United States government in causing an international conflict to kidnap 3 people, including the mysterious Sakura…”
The major turned off the Television,
“We will let you eat in 2 hours, until then, let the nerve tonic where off” the general kindly proposed.
Sakura quickly saw that the general hid a personnel feeling for Sakura and her friends predicament and was helping as much as he could. Sakura nodded in acknowledgement. The General walked out slowly shaking his head, the major promptly ordered the guards to leave the room, leaving only the interrogator. Sakura and Syaoran sat up in there positions, Tomoyo sat next to Sakura and held onto her arm for support.
“Ok, now Sakura, if you want to see daylight again, you’re going answer a few questions in regard to your cards and you” the interrogator spoke,
Sakura looked at Syaoran and worriedly looked at Syaoran’s sign to tell him.
“We will tell you” Syaoran and Sakura agreed.
“That’s what I wanted to hear” The man spoke, turning on a recorder. Sakura turned to her friend, disgraced by her openness. Tomoyo whispered an apology to Sakura. Syaoran looked disappointed. Sakura closed her eyes and spoke again, confessing everything she knew.
After hours of explaining the real story, the interrogator stood up and looked at his watch.
“Well, its time”
Sakura still shaken looked at the time, 6:30pm. She looked towards Syaoran who was walking around now that the nerve tonic wore off. Tomoyo sat on a bed looking at her. Sakura was quietly spoken for when Syaoran approached the man.
“What time? What’s going on?” Syaoran spoke sternly
The interrogator looked at them closely and laughed weirdly,
“We need to get better information for tonight, tonight is the night that the president will admit to the world what you have”
Sakura and Syaoran’s mouth dropped in unison. Tomoyo turned white as she saw the door open again. In walked the general, two CIA agents and two dozen marine units, the marines surrounded the three and stood extremely still. After the group entered, two air force technicians entered the room with a television,
After some tuning they were watching the oval office of the white house filled with generals and media crews. Behind the desk sat a lone president prepared to talk to the nation. He seemed like he was going to enjoy the moment a lot. He waited until a person spoke,
“Mr. President, you’re on in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…”
Suddenly the fuzzy reception cleared to even better reception and the president looked into the camera and spoke
“My Fellow Americans, in the last 48 hours have been extremely intensive across the world; once again your country has proven itself victorious in defending this land from the evil threats from abroad. On the 22nd of April, 2007 the central intelligence agency and the United States marine core conducted and completed the task of arresting terrorists in the empire of Japan. The immediate report of terrorist were to cover for a much more extraordinary plot against the free world, these people,these3 people in particular have in the bodies powers of unimaginable force, nothing any political or military power can match. These people go by the names of Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo…”
Sakura and Syaoran stood there with there mouths open and stared at the television. Tomoyo limped towards Sakura and held onto her arm. Sakura instead put her arm over Tomoyo’s head and hugged her.
“…these people have magic, no more is there a barrier of protection between the magical and human world, there secret is blown…and now its time for them to pay, these three alone, could have the potential to threaten and destroy the entire democratic world, there want to bring peace to us is not there intention, they are the enemy of the free world and the enemy of the united states, they are pure evil…there apart of a wide network of evil, an axis of evil that spreads throughout the entire world, they hide as spies for there secret army, waiting for the day when they can rise and rule this earth…”
“That’s a lie!” Sakura shouted to the general in the room
“…tonight my fellow Americans, we will rise to this threat…will are now of this moment at war with magic. We will unite as one and purge this earth of all those who follow this path of destruction and pure hate for mankind. We will stop at nothing and go where we are needed before we have removed each and every magician, witch, wizard, and sorcerer from this earth, we will use our most powerful weapons to destroy them. Its time for there demise, that demise will begin with Sakura…”
“What!” Syaoran turned to the general,
The general was nowhere to be seen, instead approach the guards with there guns pointed, the started to move them to a plane outside. The television coverage continued around the world, in Japan; Chihura, Rita and Naoko watched intensely as they learnt there friends secrets as it unfolded.
“…and to every nation that stands with us, you now have one choice, if you do not support us, we will eliminate you, if you are hiding magic types, you will be destroyed…if you support us, you will be spared, the choice is yours…
As the speech continued, the door to Naoko’s house was blown open, in charged marines and CIA operatives, capturing the three girls watching the television. Meanwhile Yamazaki was riding as fast as he could out of town on a motorbike, he was almost in the forest when an a helicopter gunship flew out of nowhere and fired missiles at him, blowing him off the road and down a hill, to be left for dead. Yamazaki could only look up, a full moon…the last to be covering a peaceful world for a while.
“…I leave you tonight with the hope that god will help us support the pure and democratic humans to distain this earth of magic types and bring forward a new freedom to us all, good night and god bless the United States of America”
As the president concluded, Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo sat in there seats and watched the night sky. It would be the last time the sky would cover a peaceful world, her moment of concentration was then interrupted as 5 B-2 bombers taxied onto the runway and took off, Sakura could only imagine where they were going, but she didn’t have to imagine what they were going to do.
Sakura wanted to cry but couldn’t, one move and she would be shot at, instead she looked towards the major and asked,
“Where are you taking us?”
“To your home…” the major responded
Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other in confusion before the major filled her in,
“…the president authorized the invasion of Japan one hour before the speech; the country is now under American control, your hometown will become your base of operations for this new war, we are removing the people and destroying the northern side to create an airbase and prison for only you and your friends in Japan and here”
Sakura went to hug Syaoran, but was thrown back by a marine
“Oh and one more thing Sakura, there will be no more of you magic types breeding more of your kind, your going to die as the last generation of magic types”
Sakura stood still half understanding what he meant, which really meant that love was now forbidden across the fragile earth.
