Chapter 6

~*~*~*~*~

"Miss Sakura? Do you have a moment to spare?" A voice requested
politely from behind Sakura, the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione,
startling them all. The said card captor whirled round to find a
smiling Dumbledore.

"Um, why not?" Sakura said weakly.

"In that case, please follow me to your room." As Sakura started to
wave good-bye to her new-found friends, she saw a look in their eyes
that was evidently saying `Lucky!' She sweatdropped.

"Hoe," she muttered under her breath. However, she followed Dumbledore
to her new room.

~*~*~*~*~

Upon reaching her new room, Sakura sucked in a breath of air. The room
was beautiful. Painted in various shades of lavender, the room not
only boasted of a crystal chandelier, but also of an elegantly
decorated bed, vanity table, a wardrobe and a study table, complete
with chair and table lamp. She turned to the old wizard.

"Professor Dumbledore, this is too extravagant, I can't stay in this
room." Sakura protested.

"I know what your mission is, Miss Sakura, and that is to capture all
the Relm Cards." Dumbledore's normally paternal voice had turned
deadly serious. Sakura stared at him, bewildered.

"How...how did you know?" she asked weakly.

"Your guardian, Mr. Yue." He replied simply.

"Oh," was all she could muster. Yue! How do you always manage to leave
out all the details? Sakura half-wondered, half-complained to her moon
guardian.

"As I know, you'll need a lot of your magic, so you do deserve this
room," Dumbledore smiled at Sakura, the twinkle returning to his eyes
and voice.

Sakura merely nodded, still bewildered. "But I must warn you, Miss
Sakura. Do you know how Voldemort gets his powers?" She shook her
head. "The Relm Cards make up about twenty percent of his entire
strength, fourteen years ago. If he unlocks the full potential to the
cards, he will be thrice as powerful as before. At his downfall, the
cards were released. Sakura, you have to capture all the cards by next
year, before the vacation."

Sakura nodded. "I will capture the cards!" she promised. Zettai
daijoubu! She planted the words in her mind with no room for doubt
that she couldn't accomplish the task.

"Miss Sakura, I neglected to mention earlier that you need a wand,"
Dumbledore paused in time to hear a `Hoe!' from Sakura. "However, Mr.
Ollivander has kindly agreed to come tomorrow, armed with his entire
array of wands." The corners of his mouth twitched. "So anyway, you
can go to the Gryffindor common room now. I expect your friends will
want to know the details. Good-bye."

"Wait! Professor Dumbledore! Do you know where I can find Yue?"
Dumbledore gave a grin that was most untypical of him.

"He's in the room next to yours." Was the reply.

"Um, okay." With Sakura's reply, Dumbledore Apparated to his office
while Sakura went next door.

~*~*~*~*~

"Yue! Yue!" Sakura called out to the room.

"Nani? Sakura-sama?" Sakura, being so anxious, did not even notice him
calling her `Mistress Sakura'.

"Yue, I felt the Relm Card's presence during dinner! And I just
thought of it..." Sakura trailed off. Yue patiently waited for his
mistress to continue, a characteristic most untypical of him. "What
chant will I use to capture the Relm Cards and will I still be using
my Star Rod?"

"You will still be using your Star Rod, Sakura-sama. As for the chant,
just say, Return to thy true form, Relm Card!" Sakura blinked.

"Isn't that the same thing I said that was used to capture the Clow
Cards?"

"Hai, Sakura-sama."

"Yue! If I can call you `Yue' you can call me Sakura, like Kero-chan!"

"Demo, Keroberus has always been the one to call his master or
mistress by their names without an honourific."

"N-never mind...Oyasumi nasai." Sakura retreated out of the room and
hurried to the Gryffindor common room.

~*~*~*~*~

Touya stepped into his sister's room only to find the guardian beast
playing some games. "Oi, Kero. Where's Sakura?" he asked loudly over
the noise of the game.

"She went to Tomoyo's house!" came the reply.

"Kaijuu... `Tousan's looking for her..." Touya grumbled. "Kero! I'm
going over to Tomoyo's house! Be sure to tell my father if he comes
home!" Touya hollered as he went out of the door.

~*~*~*~*~

"Is Miss Daidouji in?" Touya impatiently asked through the intercom.

"Gomen nasai, Kinomoto-san, but Daidouji-sama has gone to Hiiragizawa
Eriol-san's house," the bodyguard's exasperated voice blared through
the intercom.

"What about the kaij-, I mean, Sakura?" Touya felt like shouting,
however, he kept his cool.

"Miss Kinomoto went with Daidouji-sama, I believe, now if you'll
excuse me, I still have some duties. Ja ne, Kinomoto-san." The
intercom went dead.

"Fine, as if I care!"

~*~*~*~*~

"Hiiragizawa! HIIRAGIZAWA!" Touya roared, irritated, especially after
the rudeness he had faced at the Daidouji Mansion. A rather tired
Nakuru opened the door.

"Touya-kun!" she squealed, perked up at once. Touya sighed. Akizuki
was still doing that *glomping* thing. He hated that, although he knew
she was doing it out of habit.

"Akizuki..."

"My name is Na-ku-ru! And yes, I know you want to see Sakura-chan.
She's currently in a book!" Touya's jaw dropped.

"She's in a what?!" he sputtered.

"Touya-san, Sakura is in a book right now, because of the Through
Card," Tomoyo's voice piped in.

"Tomoyo, please tell the story," Touya then looked at the thick book
in her hands. "Let me have a look at that."

Tomoyo handed him the book. "Sakura and Yuki's alter-ego?" he felt
close to fainting dead on the floor.

~*~*~*~*~

Harry sat in a corner seat at the edge of the common room. He watched
lazily as Ron managed to build a card castle before the thing blew up,
this time, not letting his hair off like the last time. Hermione was
nearby, reading the new year's books. Then he heard a lot of savage
yelling. Only a selected few who were sitting near the door could hear
the screams. What the heck is that? He gathered his wand, and together
with Seamus, Ron and Hermione, he flung the door open. To reveal a
frustrated Sakura and a flustered Fat Lady.

"I'm sorry, Miss Kinimopo," the Fat Lady began.

"It's KiNOmoTO!" Sakura stressed the `no' and `to'.

"Right, Miss Kinomoto, please stop yelling whatever comes to your
mind," The Fat Lady caught sight of Harry and gang. "Oh and Harry,
please teach her the passwords! I'm getting a headache!"

"The password is `Quidditch and Wands'," Harry told the baffled card
mistress, amused.

"Um, okay."

"So, you're the new pupil, huh?" Seamus scrutinized her head to toe.
"Are you Harry's girlfriend?"

Ron threw up his hands in defeat while Harry's and Sakura's turned
flaming red. "Fer Chrissake, Seamus! That question has been asked for
a hundred and twenty-seven times!"
