   Card Captor Sakura
After Sakura had sealed and changed the final card “The Nothing” that was created by Clow Reed into a Sakura card, it was reincarnated into another card. Sakura had created this card with a heart and a crown on top of it, along with it was two wings on each side of the heart. This card is Sakura’s most cherished feeling when Li Shaoran went back home to Hong Kong. And so the final card is reincarnated as “The Hope” card that Sakura created, now she has confessed her feelings of love that she longed to tell Shaoran how she felt about him. Now everything is peaceful once again in Tomoeda. Or isn’t it?

Chapter 1
Sakura’s Strange Dream
and a new presence
Sakura was dreaming about three figures, one was a shadow and the other was facing the shadow figure along side a red bird. Sakura wondered who that shadow figure is. And why the other figure and the red bird is facing the shadow figure. Sakura woke up early this morning and saw Kero still asleep while getting dressed to see Tomoyo. Sakura ran down the stairs to see her father and her big brother Toya was in the kitchen. Sakura said “Good morning Dad.”
Fujitaka said “Good morning Sakura. Did you sleep well?” Sakura said “I did sleep well Dad.” Toya said “Well it’s no wonder you slept well because the monster snores in her sleep.” Sakura said “I do not snore big brother.” Toya said “Really, because I thought it was so loud that the neighbors complained how loud a monster snores.” Sakura was about to say something but something in her mind made her stop. Sakura said to herself “What was that dream about? Whatever it was I hope I find out soon.” Sakura’s father Fujitaka said “Is something wrong Sakura?” Sakura said “No Dad, I’m fine. Really there is nothing wrong.” Just then the phone rang. Sakura said “I’ll get it Dad.” Sakura ran to the phone and she picked it up. Sakura said “Hello, Kinomoto residence.” Li Shaoran said on the other line “Hello, Sakura.” Sakura said “Hello, Shaoran. It been a long time hasn’t it Shaoran?” Just then Sakura’s older brother Toya heard that his sister Sakura was talking to someone on the phone. Toya said “Who is it your talking to squirt?” Sakura was very annoyed by her big brother and said “It’s none of your business to know who I am talking to.” Toya said “You’re talking to that bratty kid. Aren’t you Sakura?” Sakura said “Yes I am. And he’s not a bratty kid, he has a name too. It’s Li Shaoran and I love him.” Toya said “You what?!” Sakura said “I said I love him.” Toya said “I don’t believe this that my sister “the monster” is in love with a brat.” Sakura said as her big brother walked away “I am not a monster, he is not a brat!” Sakura continued to talk to Shaoran on the phone. Sakura said “I’m sorry my big brother interrupted us.” Shaoran said “It’s ok. So Sakura how have you been lately?” Sakura said “Ok I guess.” Shaoran said “What do you mean you guess?” Sakura said “Well Shaoran, I had a really strange dream last night.” Shaoran said “What was it about?” Sakura said “Well I saw three figures in my dream. One was a shadow figure and the other was facing the shadow figure along side a red bird. But that’s all I got out of it so far.” Shaoran said “I see.” Just then Sakura felt a strong presence as if someone was watching her. Sakura said “Shaoran, I feel something.” Shaoran said “What is it Sakura?” Sakura said “A strong presence nearby, as if someone was watching me.” Shaoran said “Who is watching you?” Sakura said “I don’t know who is watching me Shaoran. I wish I knew who is.” Shaoran said “Whoever it is will be watching and waiting for you Sakura. And I’ll be there for you Sakura. You can count on me to be there with you.” Sakura said “Thank you Shaoran.”


Chapter 2
Welcome Back
Li and Meilin!
Sakura left for school this morning and saw her friend Tomoyo. Sakura told her friend about her dream on the way to school. Tomoyo said “Wow Sakura that is strange.” Sakura said “And when I was talking to Shaoran on the phone, I felt a strong presence. All I know is that this presence is a lot stronger than Eriol, and the final card I captured.” Tomoyo said “Wow Sakura! Any idea who it is?” Sakura said “No I don’t know who it is Tomoyo. And that’s strange for me to not know who it is.” Tomoyo said “What does Kero say about this Sakura?” Sakura said “He told me expect the unexpected. And all these times I have expect the unexpected.” Tomoyo said “And you have been doing a good job Sakura. You captured almost all the Clow Cards, have passed the Final Judgment. You became the new master of all the Clow Cards, and have changed all of them into Sakura Cards. And you defeated Eriol’s spell, matured into an amazing magical girl Sakura. I think you can handle anything that is coming your way.” Sakura said “Mm” Both Sakura and Tomoyo entered into their school, into classroom 6-2 with the other students. Mr. Terada came into the classroom. Mr. Terada said “Ok, class let’s be seated please. I have a very important announcement to make.” All the students faced Mr. Terada to hear his announcement. Mr. Terada said “We have two transfer students returning to us today.” All the students didn’t understand that two transfer students returning. Sakura said “I wonder what Mr.Terada is talking about.” Tomoyo said “We’ll have to wait and see who it is Sakura.” All of a sudden the door opened and two students walked into the classroom. All the students recognized the two transfer students, it was Meilin and Li. Tomoyo said “I wonder why Meilin and Li are here?” Sakura was still in a daze to see Shaoran again, he was happy to see her too. Both Meilin and Li walked to their usual seats in the back of the classroom. Li sitting behind Sakura, and Meilin sitting behind Tomoyo. As class started Sakura kept wondering why Shaoran and Meilin are back here in Tomoeda. Not that it would bother Sakura that much to see them both here again. What bothered Sakura the most was the dream that she saw, for some reason she can’t get it out of her mind. Most of all Sakura doesn’t want whatever is coming to hurt her friends or her family. When class was over they reconvened at the park for a chance to talk. Sakura was dangling on the swings with Meilin while Shaoran and Tomoyo was standing in front of them. Sakura said “When did you arrive in Japan?” Meilin reported gleefully “Just hours ago.” Sakura said “I would’ve picked you up if you’d let me know.” Meilin said “I kept quiet because I wanted to surprise you!” Meilin glanced briefly at Tomoyo, whose secretive smile indicated she’d known for a while. Sakura felt abashed. Sakura said “I really was surprised to see you both.” Meilin said “Then the mission was a success.” Sakura said “Hoe?” Meilin said “Oh nothing.” Meilin shook her head quickly, long braids whipping back and forth. Meilin said “So, Shaoran told me about your dream and he was worried about you. And he decided that he wanted to come here and protect you.” Meilin pushed her swing close to Sakura’s, dropping her voice to a confidential whisper. Meilin said “ And what I wrote in that last letter is true. How Shaoran vowed his life to protect you always.” Sakura’s smile faded while she said to herself “Shaoran was worried about me from all the way to Hong Kong.” Sakura wasn’t fooled. “Tomoyo, you’ve been swapping e-mails with Shaoran haven’t you?” Tomoyo said “Yes.” Sakura said “You knew all along about this haven’t you when I just told you about it at school?” Tomoyo batted her eyelashes innocently and said “I didn’t mean to trouble you about it Sakura.” Sakura said “It’s ok Tomoyo. As long as Shaoran told you about it I’m fine.” Sakura said to Shaoran “I’m glad that you were worried about me.” Shaoran said “I wasn’t the only one that was worried about you.” Sakura said “If you aren’t the only one that is worried about me, who else would be worried about me Shaoran.” Shaoran said “Well unfortunately my mother was.”
