" How about this?"


" Too bright."


" This one?"


" Oohhh- shinny! Yeah, To-ya! Tomoyo-chan, what do you think?," asked Yukito the next day. All three were in a part shop, gathering materials for Sakura's birthday party that was to be held on Saturday. Touya held up a rolled up streamer that was a delicate pink color with a metallic surface with yellow stars on it. " Oh, Sakura-chan will most definately love that one!," Tomoyo said happily, clapping her hands. Touya placed it in the shopping cart and watched his cousin go off with Kero-chan in her purse to find some balloons of white, red, pink, and garnet- if they had any of course. Touga glanced at his koibito who was examining plates, cups, and napkins. " Cherry blossom print... perfect! This'll be the best birthday ever for her. To-ya...?," Yukito had trailed off, realizing that the boy was staring at him rather-


funny.


" Ano, To-ya, doushita?," asked the snow-bunny, golden eyes staring into Touya's dark brown ones with curiosity. He had seen this look before. " Daijoubu, Yuki... I'm just glad that things are alright," he murmured, a smile forming lightly on his lips. Yuktio smiled brightly. " Of course! C'mon, we've got to hurry! Sakura will be coming home soon," implied Yukito and he walked gracefully towards where the party candies were stored. Touya shook his dark head and grinned a bit.

" ... anata ni aete anata to sugoshite
ima koko ni sotto ukabu
afureru kono omoi o uke tomete..."


Sakura sang softly to herself, looking at her feet while walking back to her house from cheerleading practice. Two more days... Sakura stopped in her tracks slowly, her own emerald eyes on the sky and trees, gazing at the white clouds that floated by lazily, a few birds scattering across the blue surface, their songs filling in Sakura's empty and sad mind. They reminded her of the two, mysterious white birds when she went to Hong Kong one year by winning a contest- only by magic. Sakura smiled to herself then blinked, looking up at the cherry blossom trees quickly.


The troubled-looking child started to rumage around through her head, trying to feel any suspicious auras around the Tomodea area. " Nothing..." The trees, though, creeped her out. Maybe it was a sign. Sakura continued to walk to her house, when a noise like a small crash near Yukito's house made her yelp. " HOE?!" A cat, black as night, streaked past her, mrowing loudly, as if something scared it. " Nani yo?," breathed Sakura, running to Yukito's house. There stood Yue in the middle of the yard, a shocked look on his pale features, a upturned summer table turned over. " Did... I do something wrong?," he asked his mistress as she ran up to him. " Well, you scared the kitty when you transformed, most definately, but it'll be all right," Sakura ressured gently. " Oh. I suppose you have questions for me?," asked the Moon Guardian, walking to the bench that sat near Yuktio's small garden. " Hai. Demo ne... watashi dake ga kitto...," the girl murmured, sitting down, smoothing out her white, school skirt. " Hm? Is it that bad?"


" Iie," Sakura said, turning her face to Yue, who stood silently by her, wings folded behind him, a fixed expression on his face. " You know something..." " Mistress, I don't know what to tell you, but that the time grows. Training should've began earlier, but you were in no condition," scolded Yue to himself. Sakura smiled cheerily at him. " How about tonight then? I promise I won't fall asleep on you!," she laughed and stood, picking up her bookbag. " Daijoubu," answer the guardian, a faint smile on his lips. " Why I think that's the first smile I've ever seen you do!!!," giggled Sakura, clapping her hands. " Ah..." Yue looked away, a faint blush dusted lightly over his cheeks, eyes in a perplex gaze on the hedge. " Ja matta, Yue-san!," she called after him as she jogged off towards her house, waving to him. " Sayonara, Mistress..."
*+*+*+*+


" Oi, you awake?"


" You just woke me up."


" Ah-ha! Gomen, but it's funny seeing you angry!," giggled Meiling, smiling brightly at her cousin. Syaroan glared at her and stared out the window, grumpy and upset that he got the window seat. Oh, well, at least he could see the ocean down below him and the many islands that dotted upon the sparkling sapphire surface. " Ne, Meiling?"

" Hai?," answered the girl, looking up from her magazine. " Do you remember before we left... if anything weird was happening?" " Hai, I heard on the news that a lot of things were going on that was crazy!," piped Meiling, ruby eyes wide. " Like?" " Well, there was something about the animals going kinda physco during mirgation and hibernation and the weather was acting particularly funny in some parts of the world. Africa was getting snow in the south when it's near the equator!!! And the places that are mild are getting kinda rained out and crops and stuff are getting flooded out! I meant to ask you to ask the Lasin Board to point out the direction of the source of the problem," finished Meiling, her face now beaming with importance and excitment. Syaroan was quiet and still after Meiling's report, and began to worry some. ' This isn't good. Kitto... watashi dake ga tsukau. Yue might know something. And Kero-chan. Who else...? AHA!!!"


The boy quickly dug around in his bookbag and found his cell phone and punched in a few numbers and waited with held breath for the operator to put him through. ' Onegai... be there!'

A dark room in the colour of dark red with plush black cusions in sofas and chairs in gilted gold seemed to sprout out elagance of the Eastern culture, mixed with old England. The hardwood, pineash floors were covered in red, black, silver, and gold rugs of different designs, many of them Persian and Japanese. French windows were hidden from thick draperies of black with gold braids hanging at their sides. Tables with glass tops and bookshelves with many books showed that its keeper was a reader. As the crowning glory, the fireplace was large and white, made from ceramic with Greek style carvings. A roaring fire spitted some sparks and a poker pushed through the logs and was then joined back in the holder with the rest of its family. A grand, large, armchair in dark red velvet held a petiet-appearing young boy who was reading from a navy and silver book, legs crossed and hands calm as they turned the parchament papers of the old book. He was very pale and held heavy English features in his face, but his eyes clearly stated that he was half in half Japanese and English. They were large, but very narrowed and shined with the colour of midnight blue that sent shivers down one's spine. His accent was mixed in the Western, Eastern, and English tonuge, which he handled the three languages both well.


He adorned a Chinese robe of basic blue with black linings and wore black pants underneath with blue slippers on his feet, which his right one tended to sway back and forth whilst he read. He lifted his head, glasses flashing in the dim light as the door to the study opened. " KONNANICHIWA, ERIOL-SEMPAI!!!," shrieked a loud voice, very girlish and very annoying. " Aha... ittai...," sighed Hiiragazawa Eriol, slapping a hand to his forehead. " Suppi-chan doesn't wanna PLAY with ME!!! MAKE HIM!!!," demanded the voice, belonging to a very sour and displeased Atsuski Naruku, alias Ruby Moon. Eriol stared at her, eyes wide and mouth slack. " What in the world are you wearing, Naruku?," asked her master. The girl blinked then looked down. " Oh! It's kawaii desu, ne?," she giggled, twirling around in her 'creation'. She wore a orange-yellow, button down blouse with red fish prints across it in glitter glue. Covering it was a hot pink, satin vest with large, gold buttons. On her legs, she wore bright yellow capree pants and blue sandals that appeared to be a good four inches tall. Her hair was braided into four, large plaits with blue, pink, yellow, and orange ribbons intertwined together in the dark brown-red hair. " Doushite? Nakuru, you're never this... birght before...," trailed Eriol, opening his book back up.


" Baka ga tsuke-agaru dake desu yo... shimpai wa arimasen," came a soft, almost whimsical voice of old wise ordeals and almost scolding in a light, airy tone that clearly stated that he did not want to play with Nakuru. " DATTE! SHIZUKA NI, ANATA BAKEMONO!!!," screeched Nakuru, she face growing red, shaking a angry fist at the floating Suppi-chan, alias Spinel Sun. The dark purple cat landed on his master's armchair and glanced at Nakuru with a cool gaze with its blue eyes. " Why would I want to play with you? Last time we did, I ended up in the oven while you tried to make a crazy love-potion for Kinomoto-sempai...," mumbled Suppi-chan.


" Oi, oi... let's not start with that, onegai?!," implied Eriol, waving his hands madly. " Well, here's your mail, master," Suppi-chan said, flying over to the table in front of the window and picking up some envelopes. Placing them in his lap, Suppi-chan and Nakuru surrounded their master, eagerly awaiting to see if they had a letter from anyone back in Tomodea. Nakuru sat on the floor, head lying in her arms, which were resting on Eriol's leg. " Hmm... bill, bill, magazine- that's yours Nakuru, bill, oh catalog..." " ERIOL-SEMPAI!!! MI NASAI!!! It's from Sakura-chan!," squealed Nakuru, pointing to a pale pink envelope, recongizing the young girl's girlish handwriting in English. Eriol's hand trembled slightly as he picked it up and started to open it. A scent only he could smell wafted to his nostrils- a girlish innocence, and the smell Sakura had about her that she never knew about: a natural scent of her birth flower and sign.


" Eriol-sempai, look at your lap!"


The blue-haired boy did so, seeing cherry blossoms sprinkled against the darkness of the fabric, lightning the colour. Suppi-chan was the first to realize the matter. " It's not the 1st of April yet. Why did she send us these?" Silence stretched in the room and Nakuru bit the bottom of her lip, a serious expression on her face. " Cherry blossoms in dawn of the reddness of the dark era..." Eriol simply placed down the letter, drinking in her words. ' I know that verse from somewhere...' RRIIIINNNG! " Get that for me, Nakuru," asked Eriol kindly. The genki girl bounced to the phone and picked it up. " Hello?"


" Is he there?"


" AA!!! Konnanichiwa, Li-kun! Hai, he's here! Master! It's your kawaii descendant!!!," called Nakuru, ignoring Syaroan's Chinese cursings on the other line. Eriol stood from the chair and walked over, taking the reciver. " Hai, Li-kun?"


" Have you been watching the news lately?"


" Hai."


" ... You know something."


" Boku- ah... danda..."


" HIIRAGAZAWA!!! Shittamatta, tell me!!!


Eriol bent his head down a bit, and sighed. " Her time is coming up." He then stared at the letter, realizing that it was a fake one... and what Nakuru said was written on old parchament in front of him in scarlet.
*+*+*+*+


Tomoyo was taking the last bag into the Kinomoto house as Touya and Yuktio placed the party items away, their silence questioning. " Ne, To-ya?" " Nn." The snow-bunny bit his bottom lip and looked at the tall boy with something in his golden eyes. " Sakura-chan, she seems... I don't know... like she's not all there for the past two days. Do you think it's something that had to do with the dream she had?," he asked softly, holding the cherry plates to his chest. " She begun her training. Even though I don't have my powers anymore, I can feel her strength rising more, little by little by the hour... she's learning Clow's magic... thanks to Kero-chan and Yue-san." Touya stared down at Yukito and smiled handsomely. " I thank Yue-san for doing all that he can." Yukito blushed and glanced down fastly at the floor, trembling slightly. " Yuki?"


Touya walked away from the shopping bag to his koi and placed both hands on his pale face. He bent his dark head towards Yukito and lightly kissed his lips, once, twice, thrice. " Aishiteru, Yuki."

Sakura was on her roof that night, ready to release her Fly and Windy cards. She wanted these two to level up first because they were her first cards she had ever recieved as a cardcaptor. Yue stood on her opposite side, arms crossed over his sturdy chest. " Concentrate hard on them, Mistress... be careful while in the process." Sakura nodded and held out her Sealing Staff in front of her, ready to begin. Closing her eyes, she raised her right arm, staff gleaming in the moonlight, while she held the two cards in her left hand, poised to be thrown and summoned. The Clow circle glowed gold underneath her bare feet and a magical uplift of wind pushed back her hair.


" I call upon the power of my ancestor and of my inner strength! Under my command, Windy and Fly!- Become finished as of now! RELEASE!!!"


The Clow circle then glowed a mysterious bright, white-pink colour and opening her emerald eyes, Sakura tossed Windy and Fly into the night, twirling her staff and bringing it down, winds in the colour pale yellow and slate intertwined in the air as they took form and began to change.Windy was no longer a wind nymph, but now a woman-looking creature with flowing, white-beige hair and sharp, inclining pale yellow eyes that had the appearance of a cat and bore claws like that of a gryffin in gold scales going up her arms. Feathered wings sprouted from her back and she wore nothing, but had tendrils of wind covering her body. A emerald headdress bore on her head with beads falling to her shoulders.


Fly was a large, grand bird-man that was mighty and powerful-looking, inbetween a hawk and eagle with colours of blue and white on his feathers. His beak was gold and his eyes were a bright garnet. He had larges arms and legs and his tail feathers stretched out for miles in a brilliant silver-blue.


The two creatures had a aura of increased intensity about them, glowing the same white-pink colour like that of Sakura's new Clow circle, sparks of small stars falling around. Sakura dropped her staff and fell backwards, exhausted but happy. Yue sprang forward and caught his mistress in his arms, wings spread out behind him. " Sakura-chan, doushite?" The little girl curled up in the Moon Guardian's arms and sighed. " Daijoubu... I'm proud of them," she whispered, emerald eyes shinning. Yue smiled faintly, hugging her. " I am of you. Excellent job, Mistress..."
