A young girl of about five was setting on bench at a local shopping Centre. Her chestnut brown hair was tied up into cute little pigtails, her brown eyes looked around. Taking in what the shopping centre offered. The bright colourness of the shopping centre cheered her. As she waited for her Mummy and Daddy, her Mummy will make sure that she stayed in her place or else she'll get mad. She smiled and her Daddy will make sure that she'll get something like a lollipop or a little sweet for waiting for them. She was lost to her train of thoughts, when she spotted her mummy.

"Mummy!" the little girl shouted, rushing towards her mother.

Her mummy smiled as she ran towards her mummy. Her daddy laughed when he saw her. Just as her mummy was going to pick her up and give her a hug, a dark shadow surrounded her mummy. The little girl screamed as the shadow swallowed her mummy. Her mummy looked scared and her Daddy reached for her mummy.

"SAKURA! HOLD ON TO MY HAND!" shouted her Daddy.

Her mummy tried to reach his hand. Trying to fight the darkness that was swallowing her. Her mummy was crying and so was she.

"MUMMY! DON'T LEAVE ME!" shouted the sobbing girl.

"YUKI! SYAORAN! NO!" shouted her mummy. As the darkness swallowed her at last.

"Sakura..." said a shouted Syaoran.

"Mummy..." cried the little girl known as Yuki.

Her Daddy pulled his arms around her as she cried.

Yuki sat up in her bed. Sweat drenched her face, her hair was plastered onto her face her breath came out in rasps. It was so long ago that happened. Her mother had disappeared in that darkness thing. She really wanted to know what happened to her. She missed her everyday since then, and her father seemed to have lost a piece of him. Well in a sense really, her father always have said that her mother was his soul mate. She believed him as she had seen him in happier times with her mother when she was younger. She shook her head and rubbed her eyes. Then she glanced at her alarm clock. The red lights on her clock read 6:00am. She sighed again, this is a second time in a row that she woke up that early. She walked into her bathroom and decided to take a cold shower to drive the nightmare away.

Thirty-minutes later, Yuki stepped out of her room in a pair of flared jeans, dark red top, her hair was still wet as she began to blow dry it. Her hair was long and bits of red was in her hair, she had used temporary hair dye, to streak her hair. But it lasted longer than she thought. Her chestnut brown hair was cropped fashionably short. After it was dry she parted her hair a little so that she could see. She heard the maids and the servants get ready. It's her sixteenth birthday today, and her father made a birthday preparations. Her best friends Ayame and Tohru will be coming over for the party as well as Aunts, and Uncles from both Sakura and Syaoran's side. Also her parent's friends will be there too. She'll have to wear this for now, later she'll change into her gear. She had told her friends to wear formal too. They are after all from a wealthy family.

She heard her father waking up, she heard him shuffle a little from his room as he made his way to the kitchen. Her room was next door to his so that's why she could hear him walking down the hall. He wasn't as youthful as before, thought Yuki. Maybe the lost of mother made him like this..., she nodded to herself as if it was the sign of acceptance of oneself. She gave her hair another quick brush, one more glance at the mirror, she ran downstairs to her father. Today was her sweet sixteen party and nothing is going to stop her party.

How long has it? How long have I last saw my child? Or my husband? Sakura thought. She sat down the dark room, hugging her ankles. Her face was red and puffy from crying. Her long chestnut hair was tied up in a red rubber band. Ever since she arrived here. A man named Akito was the one behind the darkness swallowing her. She was meant to somehow to bring forth the Sakura Cards. But since the Sakura's cards no longer responded to her. Akito also known as the Dark Lord, decided to hold her for hostage, for he needed her for exchange for Yuki. Her daughter is the person who can now master the Sakura Cards. In time it'll be known as Yuki Cards.

She sighed, she was given plenty of food and a fairly warm room. Her clothes were warm too and non of them were in terrible conditions. Her hair was also vibrant as her hair in the past. She was basically treated with respect. But one thing that this place she now lives are her child and her husband to be with her. Her Yuki must be sixteen now and her husband will forever miss her. She had a feeling that Akito was going to use the fact that it was Yuki's sixteen's birthday to attack Yuki. A long time ago Meiling was just like Akito...Wanting to attack me and also wanting the Sakura Cards.. she thought suddenly.

She was stuck in this place until Akito decided to use her to gain the Sakura Cards. She hoped that Syaoran will give Yuki's heirloom in time. Before Akito gets them and use them for his own gain...

---Back at Yuki's place---

"Good morning, Father." said Yuki.

Her father spotted her and smiled. "Good morning, Yuki. How are you today?"

She smiled, "I'm fine thanks. How are today, father?"

Her father chuckled and went to the dining hall to eat breakfast. He was always trying to be cheerful no matter what... thought Yuki, Trying to assure me that everything is ok. She smiled sadly to herself as she walked towards the halls. She was lost in thought when she bumped into a maid.

"Sorry, Li-sama." she said and she curtseyed.

"It's ok, Miaka-san." she said to the maid.

She smiled to the maid. The maid flattered, because last time she did that another maid got fired. It wasn't Yuki's fault it just that she complained too much to her father. So the maid got fired because Yuki complained about her.

Yuki walked off, the maid sighed with relief. As she walked towards the gate. My lord... thought the maid I'll make sure you enter this place without going through the gate undetected. And obtain Yuki's birth rights.. The maid cackled evilly to herself as she walked towards the Servants' Room...
