Card Captors Sakura

Mission To Capture the Moon Cards

Part 1: And So The Journey Begins

 It's been 3 years since the last times our Card Captors have seen each other. Each one going their separate ways. The Mistress of the Star Cards, Sakura Kinomoto, has been spending her time in Tomoeda, Japan with Tomoyo Daijouji and Eriol Hiiragizawa. Eriol decided to stay at Tomoeda to help out Sakura in any way, plus to be with a special someone (Could it be… TOMOYO!?) Eriol has noticed that Sakura's powers have grown stronger through all these years. Touya and Fujitaka Kinomoto have found out about Sakura's little secret and they took it pretty well. Which surprised Sakura of their reaction. All they said about her being the mistress was that they were proud of it. Fujitaka couldn't help but love Kero. Those two are always together, and Sakura is happy that Kero doesn't have to stay up in her room all day. But the problem was, their food supply would always disappear.

 Sakura still loves Li Syaoran and hopes that he still loves her. All the boys would always ask her out, but she would always reply no, for there is only room for one person for her heart and that is Syaoran. Even though she never saw him for a long time, she would always call up Hong Kong to check up on how he was doing. She would always talk to Li Meiling, but not Syaoran. Those two would talk for hours talking about how things are and what's happening to their friends in Tomoeda. When Sakura would ask for Syaoran, she would always get….

 "Sigh…. Syaoran is kind of busy." As Meiling would say so dully.

 Sakura doesn't get what's happening over there, but she just wishes that she could see Syaoran again and see if he still loves her or not. Meiling said that Syaoran isn't seeing anyone, and that he has been training everyday and that his family hasn't seen him that much now a day.

 "I hope that your ok, Syaoran." Sakura whispered to the wind.

 Sakura is now 13 years old and looks more beautiful just like a Sakura tree. Her hair is a little longer then before, but she still keeps them up in those cute pigtails every one loves. She is a very popular girl around Tomoeda Junior High, and is an active person in Athletics. She sighed as she looked out the window. It was raining which had a sad feeling outside.

 "I miss you so much, please come back to me. You promised!" she whispered

 "What's the matter Sakura? Thinking of that brat again?" Kero popped out of nowhere.

 Sakura glared at Kero, "He's not a brat!" she yelled.

 "Gees I'm sorry. Yeah I know that you love him and all. But you got to get over him. It's been years!" said Kero.

 Sakura frowned, "That hurt you know Kero. He loves me and I know he does! Meiling said so."

 "But what does that kid know? For all I know her and the brat got married." Kero said, without noticing that Sakura was about to cry.

 The plopped down on her bed and sighed out loud pushing back her tears. 'I will not cry!' she told herself. "I'm going to bed!" she said. She pulled over her covers and fell asleep. She didn't know that tears were trailing down her face. Kero didn't know what to say. Tomorrow Sakura wouldn't be sad anymore and would be her happy self again. He turned off the switch and went into his own bed in the drawer.

  Li Syaoran. Syaoran is now 13 years old, just like Sakura Kinomoto. He has grown taller than before and is well built. He has handsome features and he still has that messy brown hair. But what stayed the same are his Amber eyes and his love for a certain Card Mistress. It's been three years since he saw his Cherry Blossom and wondered if she is now more beautiful than before.

 Syaoran fought back his opponent and struck back at him. The guy block with his own sword and seemed to be tired, but he tried his best to hide it from the great Li Syaoran. Syaoran push him back and got ready to use his magic, but stopped to see that his opponent was catching his breath. Syaoran stood up straight and looked at him softly. "You must be tired Xu. We can stop now."

 "No, I can do this." His friend said.

 He put his sword in front of him and stood in a fighting stance. Syaoran just stood there looked at him. He sighed and just kept on looking into his friends midnight blue eyes. Then after a few seconds, Xu collapsed on the floor. Syaoran ran to his side. "Are you ok my friend?" he asked.

 "Yeah, I guess I am tired. I guess I've been pushing this training a little too hard." Xu said and he noticed that Syaoran wasn't even a slight bit tired. He wasn't even breaking a sweat. 'Guess I'll never be like him. He is so strong, yet he thinks he is weak just because the cards are in the hands of a pretty faced girl he fell in love with. But he's not.'

 "Syaoran, Xu! Tea Time!" yelled Meiling as she ran towards them.

 "Boy don't you look tired Xu." Meiling complimented.

 Xu blushed a bit and followed her inside the palace of the Li residents. Syaoran smirked at what he saw, and knew that somehow those two are in love with each other. Love… Syaoran looked up into the afternoon sky and saw and waves of pinkish and purplish colors. He whispered into the wind, "Sakura…"

 "One day I'll come back to you and be as strong as you are. But right now, I'm a weakling. Your guardians know it, your brother knows it everyone in this damn world knows it. Even mother…." He said to himself.

 "Hey Syaoran what are you waiting for, Christmas!?" yelled Xu.

 Syaoran looked forward and walked into his home.

 It was knight time and the stars shined brightly upon the house of Syaoran. Animals of the knight softly sang to the full moon and a cool breeze softly blows through the trees. Then a tiny light appeared from the stars. It glowed in a purple aura slowly floating into an open window of the Li's Palace. It entered into the room of Syaoran. It glided slowly upon his sleeping figure and stayed there for a while. "Your not weak, Li Syaoran." Someone whispered softly.

 The glow glided down on Syaoran's bed and the glow stopped. Now laying on his bed was a small figure, right beside him.

 Morning came, and Syaoran woke up. It was 6 in the morning, and he got ready for his training. When he was going to fix his bed, he noticed some thing small on his bed. He picked it up and it was a stuffed animal with wings like Kero. But this one had a coat of white like snow, small cat ears and whiskers. Syaoran noticed the small Green gem resting on the head. Syaoran poked it, as the thing stirred in his hand. Syaoran was quite taken back at its reaction. He shakes the thing lightly as the small animal groaned. Syaoran couldn't take it anymore so he spoke to it, "Hey wake up who ever you are."

 The thing opened its ice blue eyes and looked at the figure in its view. "Where am I?" it asked in a female voice.

 "Your at my room." Syaoran answered.

 "Oh?" The thing jumped out of Syaoran's hand and floated in front of him. "Who are you?" she asked.

 "Um… Li Syaoran." He answered.

 "Oh…. little wolf. Nice name." She crossed her arms.

 "And may I ask who are you?"

 "Sure thing, I'm Diamond Sun. Just call me Dia." She answered.

 "Dia? Um… are you a guardian of some sort?" Syaoran asked.

 "Yeah! I'm the guardian of the Moon Cards. Oh and that reminds me! My task is to search for the master and collect the cards." She said. She looked into his eyes. "Your strong, I can tell. Your even a Card Captor am I correct?" she asked.

 He nodded.

 "And you know the Card Mistress of the Star Cards, no? Oh and you are in love with her too."

 Syaoran didn't know what to say.

 "Don't worry. I can see everything that happened to you in your past by just looking at you. I CAN read minds you know." She said thoughtfully. "Look you're the only one I can see who can help me. I just need you to help me find this master and help get the cards back. Can you?" she asked.

 Syaoran thought for a moment then nodded.

 "Why thanks! This could be a chance for you to test our your new strength. Don't worry what other people say about you, you are strong I just know It." She said. 'And some how I feel as if he is the Card Master.' She thought.

 "So where do we start?" Syaoran finally spoke out.

 Dia closed her eyes and concentrated. A purple aura surrounded her. She opened her eyes and looked into Syaoran's Amber eyes. "I feel a card in Tomoeda, Japan."

 "WHAT!? Are you sure?" he asked. He just wasn't ready to face Sakura.

 Dia frowned lightly. "Yes. And you are not weak Syaoran. I'll show you that you are just as strong as that Card Mistress!" she yelled out.

 'Why all of a sudden do I feel confident on this boy? I'm not even sure he IS the Card Master.' She thought.

 Syaoran looked down and sighed. "Fine I'll help you. First I have to tell mother."

  It was school time for Sakura in Tomoeda Junior High. As usual she was always late in waking up. To her it was like a normal day, but something in her said that it wouldn't be so normal for long. She got into class a little early before class started.

 "Morning Tomoyo, Morning Eriol!" she greeted her friends.

 "Morning Sakura." The two said at the same time.

 She smiled at them and sat on her seat. Just then the Teacher entered the class and stood in front of his desk. "Class we have a new student. Please come in Li Syaoran."

 When Sakura heard that name her heart skipped a beat and she jumped in excitement. Syaoran entered the room and whispers and giggles could be heard from the girls. The boys all glared at Syaoran, but not as hard as Syaoran can do.

 "Mr. Li, you can sit right there behind Miss Kinomoto." The teacher said.

 Syaoran nodded and took his seat. Sakura was jumping with delight in her mind, as she tried her best not the scream out for joy. Syaoran smiled at the back of her head. Just like three years ago, he would always stare at her shining brown hair.

 The school bell rang and the old gang (Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol.) All walked together out side. "Hey Syaoran glad your back." Said Tomoyo as she smiled at him.

 Sakura couldn't help but keep on staring at Syaoran the whole time. She just couldn't keep her eyes off his grown features.

 "So Li, why did you come back? You just didn't come back here to visit, no?" asked Eriol.

 Syaoran smirked.

 "Tell me Li, did you feel any strange forces from the past few weeks?" he whispered to Syaoran.

 He just looked at him and nodded to Eriol.

 "Um… Syaoran, do you want to come over for dinner? You can come too Tomoyo, Eriol." Asked Sakura. She was just too happy.

 Syaoran smiled, "Sure. I would love to."

 When they got to Sakura's house they all entered and sat in the living room. "I'll be right back, I'll go set up dinner and get you guys some drinks and cookies." Sakura said and she walked to the kitchen.

"I'll go help her out." Said Tomoyo and followed her.

 Eriol and Syaoran were left together in the room. It was quiet for a moment, until Eriol spoke up. "Tell me, why were you sent here?"

 Syaoran looked up at Eriol, "Have you ever heard of the Moon Cards?"

 "Moon Cards?" Eriol asked.

 Syaoran looked down, "Someone told me there was two packs of cards created by two powerful sorcerers. Clow Reed created the Star Cards, while Ryouka Lunar created the Moon Cards. Ever hear of her?"

 Eriol put his hand on his chin. "Somehow, she was this powerful sorceress who Clow Reed seems to be competing over with. I think she was quiet a women, that made Clow Reed sometimes distracted."

 "Well you see, this 'person' came to me and asked for my help to find this master of the Moon Cards and help capture them. She told me that the air is panicking for evil is coming out to get the Moon Cards for destruction. And we have to get them before evil does." Syaoran told him.

 Eriol looked down and went into a thinking mood. "Tell me, is this 'person' the guardian of the Moon Cards?"

 Syaoran nodded.

 He smiled, "I remember now, her name is Diamond Sun, or is it Dia?"

 "She's both."

 "Why should she go to you, if she thinks you're not the master of the cards?" Eriol asked.

 Syaoran looked down, "I don't know? Ask her."

 "Maybe it's cause of his great growth of powers. Ever since Syaoran came back, his aura seems to change greatly. That's why she went to Syaoran, cause she was attracted to his magic." Eriol whispered.

 Syaoran got annoy, "Why does everyone think I'm so strong?" he muttered.

 Eriol looked at him a little angry, "Because you are getting strong. Just because you didn't get the Clow Cards doesn't mean you're not strong. It's cause you have another Destiny. But in Sakura's Destiny, you were to help her go through her test with your love for her."

 Syaoran just looked at him and couldn't say anything. Suddenly the two girls appeared and popped their from the door. They had a big huge smile on their face. "Dinner's Ready!" they both said happily.

 Syaoran entered his apartment and headed straight to his room. He dropped his bag on the floor and slipped off his shoes. "I'm home Dia!" he called out.

 Dia flew into his room. "You had fun?" she asked.

 "Hn." Was all he said.

 "She you go out to eat delicious food, and you forgot about me and left me starving!" she yelled.

 Syaoran sighed. "Sorry. Fine I'll make you something. Let's go to the kitchen."

 He walked to the kitchen.

 "You know something's gonna come up tonight, so I need food for energy!" she yelled out while following him.

  Sakura was in her room doing something when all of a sudden she felt a jolt of magic go through her. She gasped out in shock.

 "Kero!" she called out.

 "Yeah I know, let's go." He said to her.

 It was nighttime and it was all quite with stars sparkling bright. But then a tiny flame appeared. It looked so innocent as the little flame flew around the park. It touched a tree as flames started to build up on the tree, then the flames spread and a fire started. The little flame grew bigger and now looked fierce.

 Syaoran and Dia entered the park as they watch the fire grow bigger. Syaoran was quiet in a shocked state.

 "That's the Fire Card." Said Dia.

 Syaoran stared into the flames, "How are we going to stop that?"

 "These Moon Cards are different from the old Clow Cards. The Card will choose who the master will be and it becomes a card it's self." She told him.

 "Don't we fight it first?" he asked, "You know, like to weaken it."

 Dia looked into his Amber eyes; somehow she could see something in them telling her something.

 "Sure, if you want too." She just said.

 Syaoran was confused on to what to do. She just stared at the fire, as it grew bigger.

 "Watery Card!" yelled a female voice.

 Then a shot of water hit the flame as the orange and blue colors mixed. The Watery Card withdrew back to a Card and the flames just grew bigger.

 "What happened? Why couldn't it be stopped?" asked Sakura.

 "That's a Moon Card alright." Said Kero.

 "Moon Card?" asked Sakura.

 "Legend has it, that there are two powerful sorcerers. Clow Reed and a Beautiful Sorceress, Ryouka. Both have created cards and guardians. And that is her card, a Moon Card. But since she passed away, just like Clow. There has to be a master who will take the cards, like you." Eriol explained.

 "Oh…." She looked up at the growing flames. "How are we suppose to stop that?" she asked.

 "We don't, the master does." Said Kero.

 "What?"

 Then the flame shot out a ball of fire at the two. Eriol and Kero moved away, but Sakura was too slow to move. But someone pushed her away and made the ball miss. When Sakura opened her eyes, she saw a pair of Amber eyes looking down on her.

 "Syaoran…" she whispered and she blushed.

 Syaoran noticed he was on top of her and started to blush even more.

 "What's going on here!?" yelled Kero.

 Syaoran and Sakura jumped up in surprise. They are now blushing 12 shades of red, and they got embarrassed. "T-thanks, Syaoran." Stuttered Sakura.

 "Y-yeah…. No problem." Syaoran answered back.

 Eriol smiled at them.

 "Are you ok?" asked Dia.

 "Who are you?" asked Sakura.

 "Me? Well I'm the great Guardian of the Moon Cards!" she said proudly.

 Syaoran and Eriol Sweat dropped.

 "Wow! Your so…. CUTE!" cried out Sakura.

Syaoran and Eriol sweat dropped, as Dia face faulted.

 "We need to stop that before the fire gets out of control!" said Dia. She looked at Syaoran and nodded at him.

 He nodded it back. 'Well here I go. Hope this will work.' He took out a Chinese Card and his sword. "Water come to my aid!" he ordered.

 The Fire fought back as to push back the water, but Syaoran pushed back and fought harder. He ordered everyone to get back, and they did as what he said. Then he let go of his magic and moved a side. The fire plunged down at the spot Syaoran was. Syaoran ran to one side and shot many water spells at the flame. The fire was getting smaller but the main flame roared out in rage. It attacked Syaoran as he got knocked on a burning tree.

 "Syaoran!" Sakura yelled as she runs to Syaoran. But Eriol and Dia stopped her.

 Sakura looks at Dia in a confuse look.

 "Let Syaoran do as what he is suppose to do." Dia said without looking straight at her face.

 Sakura turned back to watch Syaoran in a worried way.

 Syaoran got up quickly before the burning branch from the tree squash him. He looked at the flame, he felt something from the flame…. loneliness. Syaoran stepped closer to the flame as it backed away a little. It's now afraid like a little child.

 "What's wrong with it?" asked Kero.

 "It's afraid of him. His powers is a lot stronger then what it thought." Said Eriol.

 "Good. Now all Syaoran should is let the Card trust him." Whispered Dia.

 "You can do it Syaoran, I believe in you." Sakura whispered.

 Syaoran walked closer to the flame and put out his hand. The Flame backed up a few inches but then looked at his eyes. His eyes…the Amber colored eyes. Syaoran just kept on looking at the flame and still had his hand out.

"Don't be afraid, you don't have to be alone anymore. Nobody wants to be lonely, please trust in me." He whispered.

 The Flame was a little hesitant but then it shrank down its former size. The fire around the park disappeared.

 "That's the fire card?" asked Sakura with a sweat drop.

 "Hey don't make fun of it! It may look small, but it's way powerful than your Fiery Card!" yelled Dia.

 "Huh?"

 "Er… It doesn't matter." Dia flew towards the Fire Card. "Fire Card hear my plea and tell me who is the master to be. With strong powers and might, and with darkness and light. Cast your powers upon him!" she chanted.

 Two bright lights cast down on Syaoran and the flame. The small flame went into Syaoran's chest as it whispered to him, "Trust me…."

 Syaoran closed his eyes and felt the burning sensation. Bright lights covered the whole scene and nothing could be seen. The light show stopped and Syaoran now held on a Card. "The Fire Card." He whispered. He could feel a warm feeling within the card.

 "I knew it! I knew you are the master!" Yelled out Dia in excitement.

 Sakura smiled widely and ran to Syaoran to give him a hug. She embraced him and held him tightly, "I'm proud of you Syaoran! See your not weak, and I can help you out in anyway I can. Like old times when you helped me." She said.

 He smiled and hugs her back, "Yeah…." He took another look at the card and smiled proudly.
