"Father why aren't you coming with us?" Sakura asked.

"I'm sorry Sakura," Fujitaka apologized, "But I have work to do."

"But father you were the one who gave us tickets in the first place, so shouldn't you go?" Toya inquired.

"It was just last notice…" Fujitaka sighed, "I'm sorry Sakura… Toya. You just have to use the other ticket for someone else."

A vacation to the beach, to stay at a 5 star hotel for a few days, it was the perfect vacation for the Kinomoto family. But the father was asked for last-minute excavating an old temple, which he could not deny. The transportation and hotel were free, as we all know free things you can not deny. So, their perfect vacation was not so perfect now.

Once their father had walked out of the kitchen to start packing, Toya and Sakura tried to vote who would go with them. Either Yukito or Tomoyo. Toya wanted Yukito to come, and Sakura wanted Tomoyo, though she also wanted Yukito. So the snow-rabbit man was called on the phone by Toya and he gladly accepted. Once that was over, Sakura called Tomoyo and told her to come so that she would not be all alone with Yukito. Tomoyo was grateful Sakura told her, and said she would get her own ticket there, and would bring at least 10 tapes for the vacation.

"Ah… Tomoyo…" Sakura sighed on the receiver of the phone.

"When will you be going?" Tomoyo ignored that last statement.

"Tomorrow." Sakura squeaked.

It was so last minute, Tomoyo might have not gone. Luckily her mother managed to get tickets, though Sonomi herself was not going. Luckily they had connections, so Tomoyo was traveling alone with her horde of women protectors. After all the preparations were complete, the day of going off was right there. Toya, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Yukito crowded around the bus. Once they got on, Toya kept telling his little sister about a ghost that haunts the 5 star hotel for someone took down his house and built over a hotel. Tomoyo was extremely happy to tape Sakura, that she even brought twice as more tapes as she said she would.

"So that is why that hotel we are going to is a cursed hotel." Toya finished.

"Hoe…" Sakura whispered to herself.

"Don't worry Sakura, if a ghost comes to get you I'll protect you." Yukito smiled, and then patted her on the back.

Sakura blushed, and nodded her head. Tomoyo was glad she brought 20 tapes, and her mob of women in black suits were in the limo car driving next to the bus. Once an hour past they were finally there. Sakura stared at the ocean, and smelled the air. Yukito covered his eyes from the sun. After a nice breath of the ocean they opened a piece of paper directing them to the hotel. But they got lost twice, and had to ask tourists where it was. Thanks to a very nice store clerk they found the hotel, which stood bravely twelve floors from the ground up. Their room was on the fourth.

"Wow! The view is so pretty!" Sakura exclaimed running to the balcony.

Tomoyo came following, using her camcorder to get the view for a few moments. Then they started to unpack. The army of women in black suits told Tomoyo that they would be in the room next door, and would be under Sonomi's orders for the next few days.

Yukito sat on the chair and enjoyed the view. The sun was setting, and it made the town look like it was softly tucking itself to sleep. Toya joined him, passing him a soda. They sat there for a few minutes until Yukito's stomach growled. Sakura and Tomoyo heard it and asked what the noise was. Yukito explained that he was famished and that he should eat soon. Everyone sweat dropped. After a nice meal (The bill was over 10,000 yen, or over 80 dollars. Tomoyo's guards ate separately so save their money) they decided to relax, and decide what they would be doing tomorrow.

"I got this brochure when we came in." Tomoyo opened it up and started to read aloud the key places where they should go.

"I want to go to the beach," Sakura said looking at Toya, "Can't we?"

Toya nodded, "Sure. I'm sure the people at the beach are not going to like it when the monster comes to take a stroll-OW!"

Toya never got to finish his sentence. The reason why is that Sakura stepped on his foot. Tomoyo stared to stare into space, Sakura started to wave her hand in front of her. There was no response or blinking from her, Sakura tried to get poke her awake and it worked.

"Um, Tomoyo are you okay?" Sakura asked.

"I'm fine. I just need to make you a bathing suit tomorrow so you look extra cute on this occasion." Tomoyo replied.

Sakura sighed and offered to help. But Tomoyo denied and stay up until midnight to finish. When they got to the beach the next day, Sakura had a very cute bathing suit. It had green rims, and blue vibrating after it. There was fish swimming past each other and dolphins, whales, and other creatures. Tomoyo was pleased of her work, and turned on her camcorder.

"I got the watermelon, the blindfold, and the baseball bat." Toya dropped the items on the sand.

"Can I go?" Sakura gazed at the items.

But Sakura could not go. Want to know why? A tide came in and washed the items away. All four of them stared at the ocean. Toya and Yukito went again to buy the items. When they were gone, Keroberous flew out of their clothing bag. He gasped for a few moments of air.

"I felt a CLOW CARD!" Keroberous exclaimed pointing in the direction of the ocean.

"Kero…?" Sakura blinked, "How did you come here?"

"I snuck in your bag while you weren't looking!" Keroberous boasted out his chest.

Tomoyo chuckled, "Kero must be very sneaky."

"Thank you!" Keroberous bowed, "But anyways, I felt a CLOW CARD nearby, right over there!"

Keroberous pointed at the ocean, then pondered which card it could be. WATERY and STORM were already captured. BUBBLES seemed unlikely, because it looks like everyday ocean. (Video recordings showed in the second movie, I was told, so I'm not doing one chapter on that) Also for the fact that there was no cloud in the sky nor a single drop from the sky, but those cards was already captured. The card had to be the card that Keroberous never paid attention too.

"But the ocean looks the same." Sakura told Keroberous.

"Ah! It was one of those cards!" Keroberous rubbed his paws together, "It was… that one… card."

But before Keroberous could go back to remember a tide washed some people hanging out in the ocean, get pulled into it. Most screamed, as another tide came to wash more people in the middle section. So about everyone gather up their supplies and ran. Or they just ran away to save their life and not their possession. Once the coast was clear, Sakura took out a necklace which had a little key attached to it. Then said the incantation,

"The key, which hides powers of the dark. Show your true powers before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract. RELEASE!"

The little key spun around and finally grew longer, Sakura grabbed it once it was done growing. Then doing a couple of spins, and put up a serious face. Sakura used the SLEEP card just in case, except for Tomoyo though. She stared at the ocean which was attempting to pull her in, but was too far away. Slowly the tides were getting closer, which helped Sakura have time to think. She needed to stop the tides from getting closer. Then Sakura got it.

"Water, create a whirlpool to stop the tides, WATERY!"

The WATERY card dispersed into the ocean, soon there was a whirlpool. Also the tides were swirling around the giant whirlpool. Sakura got out another card, she flipped it.

"Let me hover over the water, FLOAT!"

Sakura sat on a hot air balloon as it drifted her over where the whirlpool was. She saw the WATERY was swimming in circles deep in the ocean. Also Sakura saw that the tides tried to go to shore but was sucked into the whirling doom. Meanwhile on the shore, Tomoyo was relishing every moment of Sakura capturing the card. Sakura raised her capturing staff.

"Return to the guise that you were meant to be in. CLOW CARD!"

A card formed and flew over to Sakura's hand and she caught it. Keroberous looked over her shoulder and shook his head. He asked him how could be forget that card.

"WAVE card, huh." Tomoyo looked at it curiously, "We would have never guessed."

When everyone woke up from their sleep, Toya and Yukito returned. Sakura got to hit the watermelon, and they ate the watermelon happily. Yukito gave his usual compliments, and Toya referring to his sister as a monster. Tomoyo gave Sakura the exclamations of how beautiful she hit the watermelon.

But in the depths of Sakura's clothing bag a magical creature glared enviously at the watermelon.

Next time: Sakura and friends go in a chamber in a festival. Kaho Mizuki made a room full of special powers. The chamber is said to tell if someone lies or not. All they have to do is to let the balance touch the person's heart. If the balance moves they are lying, not then it's the truth. But it creates conflicts with Syaoran and Meiling.
