Chapter 1

The full moon shone down with it's silver light upon the world. It illuminated a large garden behind a big mansion that sat in the town of Tomeda. There, standing alone, was the form of a woman, she seemed to be waiting for something as her hooded face searched the starry skies. She wore a long, almost ceremonial, robe, it was a shade of cherry blossom pink, upon the back was a magical circle and in its centre was a star with a sun and crescent moon either side. This was the symbol of her magic.

On the front of the robe, on the breast sections were a sun to the left and a crescent moon to the right. These were a tribute to her guardians. The final piece was a gold broach at her neck holding the robes closed. The design upon it was almost like her magic circle, but was different. Instead of a star there was the sun, a crescent moon was above the sun and to the left.

This was there in remembrance of the greatest magician whom ever lived...the creator of the Clow cards and their guardians. The magician Clow Reed.

The moon glinted off a staff in the woman's delicate grasp, it was bigger than her and seemed to be made of pure gold. Atop the staff was a symbol; a sun joined the top of the staff, with a crescent moon joined atop the sun. And atop the sun was a huge star. On either side of this symbol were splayed wings.

The woman lowered the hood of her robe to reveal her face, she was beyond beauty, and her hair was a short chestnut brown with a few bangs about her face. Her eyes were of the purest emerald. She looked like an angel, the eyes shone with compassion and love…though there was a tinge of great sadness at their corners.

Her name was Sakura Li; she was the master of the Clow cards and the most powerful magician in this world.

From the mansion came the form of a bird, it was about the size of a hawk. Its feathers were almost silver, some had pure white and others had a pale violet tinge to their tips. Its tail feathers were long and seemed to hold all shades of feather upon its body. If it had been red you would have thought it a phoenix.

It alighted gently on the woman's shoulder and began to speak, though this seemed normal to Sakura.

"Mistress! You should not be out! You should be resting!" it spoke in a deep rich voice, like a dull monotone that seemed as if didn't care, but Sakura knew better.

"Yue, I think I picked the wrong form for you when I split you from Yukito. I think I should have turned you into a mother hen." Sakura smiled.

"Why is that Mistress?"

"Because you are clucking round me like one."

"I do not cluck"

Sakura laughed then at the almost indignant reply from her moon guardian. If Yue were in his true form he would be an achingly beautiful man with large white wings. His eyes a light, almost silver violet. She knew if he were in his true form, his eyes would be glaring at her. The bird was Yue's false form so he could move in the world, I mean a man who walks around with large white wings and long white hair that was in a semi ponytail and reached the floor. So he looked like an angel would be noticed.

But he did not always have the bird as his false form. When Sakura had first met his false form it had been in the shape of a young man with almost grey hair, his name was Yukito, Yue at the time was hiding inside the young man, waiting. For Yue was the Judge of the Clow cards, he would deem the new master worthy or not.

He slept inside Yukito so he could watch Sakura gather all the cards without her knowing he was there. As far as she was concerned Yukito was her elder brother, Toya's, best friend…and also the person she had a huge crush on.

But there was a slight disadvantage to having Yukito as a false form. Yue and Yukito were two different people inside one magically created body. Yukito had no idea that Yue existed. And Yue came to resent being locked away until needed, seeing through Yukito's eyes but never able to interact until danger threatened his Mistress.

Sakura had always said she wanted to be the guardians friends not their Mistress. Kero's false form let him keep his mind, as he appeared as a winged stuffed animal in his false form. He had been with Sakura since she had first become a card captor.

Sakura never proved her friendship more to Yue than the night she had given him his freedom.

He had flown to Tokyo Tower, he thought, to see the moon for the last time. His Mistress had mastered her powers; she was now even more powerful than Clow Reed ever was. She didn't need him anymore. Or so he thought. So Yue put into effect a spell that would basically cause him to die. He would meld inside Yukito, his spirit truly lost. Yukito could continue his life without suddenly waking up in strange places.

When Yukito was Yue he could never remember what happened, he hadn't even known Yue existed until the moment Yue's magic had been failing and they both were fading away. Toya had given all his magic power to the both of them so they would live, but Yue knew it was to save Yukito more than himself. For Yukito and Toya had loved each other for a while now.

Unknown to Yue when he began the spell Sakura had sensed the change and came running to him. He never remembered what happened that night. It took a very angry Keroberos to tell him when he awoke in Sakura's family home.

Keroberos was Yue's brother and fellow guardian. He was the guardian of the sun. His true form was of a great winged, main less, lion. His false form was a cute winged stuffed animal. Normally Keroberos would never get really angry, but this time he was enraged at how stupid Yue had been. He was meant to be the stupid one not Yue.

To try and kill himself Keroberos told him that Sakura had found him passed out atop Tokyo tower. She could sense his spirit failing so she did the only thing she could. She separated Yue from Yukito so she could focus on Yue.

Yukito kept Toya's magic to sustain him while Sakura did something spectacular for Yue. She created his very own star for him. The moon star.

Even now you could see it when there was a crescent moon, nestled safely in the moons embrace. His star. Yue had rushed to Sakura's room, intending to thank his Mistress…but she wasn't there.

It was then he learned the reason for Keroberos's anger. Sakura was in a coma at Tomeda hospital. For weeks Yue was shouted at by Toya and even Syaoran for even thinking of doing what he did to endanger Sakura.

For a time he wished he had died as he looked at her frail form through the hospital window. He was in his new false form, the shape of a bird. It pleased him greatly that he did not look like a stuffed animal. That the false form looked almost regal. Eriol, the reincarnation of Clow Reed had told him Sakura must have chosen the false form. For the Mistress determines the shape.

Sakura remained in a coma for four weeks before she finally opened her eyes. Everyone had been ecstatic but Yue had been afraid. Would she now throw him away as Clow had done? Clow had not been a bad master. But he did not share his feelings openly, Yue had loved him with all his being. When Clow had died Yue had felt betrayed and vowed never to serve another master.

He waited in the moonlight outside her window, until to his surprise she beckoned him in. He had flown in, turning into his true form, began to apologize, babbling like a frightened child.

Sakura had just raised her hand with a smile to silence him and then held it out for him to take. He had grasped it like a lifeline as she spoke.

"There is nothing to forgive Yue. I shall always need you my friend" her voice had been horse from lack of use. He felt tears pricking at his eyes. This shocked him. He did not cry…well he did not babble like a small child either but he just had.

Sakura opened her arms for him, "Stay with me Yue"

Yue turned into his false form and like Keroberos did in his, snuggled up to Sakura under the covers. When the nurse came in and saw this exotic bird next to Sakura, Sakura just said it was a friend, to which the bird agreed with a trilling note.

Yue was brought back to the present as his brother Keroberos could be seen in his true form flying towards them. It seemed he was carrying a branch in his mouth. He back winged to land softly in front of Sakura before then placing the branch on the grass.

"Thank you Kero" Sakura spoke as she kissed the lion on his black nose. Sakura had always called Keroberos, Kero for short. Because she thought it was cute. His full name was only spoken when he did something wrong…like eat all the sweets in the house.

"You're welcome Sakura, what are friends for?" But you should be resting, your injuries…"

"Are fine" She interrupted him. There was a flash as Yue turned into his true form.

"They are not fine Mistress," Sakura sighed as Yue spoke the word Mistress. She kept trying to get him to call her Sakura. "We almost lost you to that mad man. You should be inside resting. Not out here getting Keroberos to fetch sticks!" he spoke as if it was beneath them.

"Hey! I'm not a dog you know!" Kero snapped at his brother.

"Stop it you two! I have to do this now. I see you do not recognise this tree Yue."

"Tree?" Yue asked surprised.

"Yes tree," Sakura turned from Yue to look at something on Kero's head. "Little." A small glowing object jumped from Kero's head and into Sakura's open palm. She petted it a moment before speaking again. "Can you change it back to its normal size please?"

The small creature nodded before jumping onto the branch. Slowly it began to grow to its real size of a huge cherry blossom tree. Around the tree's trunk was a rope with tassels upon it. This showed it to be a sacred tree. You could see this tree had been recently cut down with a chain saw, as it had no roots. Yue looked on in shock…he knew this tree.

"It is the tree from Tsukimine Shrine." Sakura spoke softly as she gently caressed the bark of the tree. She could feel its pain and fear. She turned to the Little still sitting on the trunk.

"Thank you very much. You can return now." The little smiled before turning back into a card. It fluttered into Sakura's hand then she placed it in the card pouch at her waist.

"They actually cut it down" Yue spoke as he recovered from his shock.

"To make room for that new development, or so that horrible councilman says." Sakura was kneeling by the tree now; you could see she was in some pain, which her guardians did not miss. But they remained silent for now.

"They had just thrown it on the rubbish heap like trash." Kero snarled. How could they do such a thing? The tree was hundreds of years old. It had heard people's dreams and prayers for so long. It held great power that all could feel even if you had no magic in yourself and they had just thrown it away.

Sakura rose from her kneeling position as she pulled two cards from the pouch.

"Earthy, Wood. Release and dispel" With a flash of light the cards exploded into their true forms. That of a beautiful wood nymph and a woman of earth and stone. They stood before Sakura for her orders.

"Wood, help this tree root. Earthy help Wood plant the tree here" Sakura indicated with her staff at the raised mound in her garden. She wanted the tree atop this little hill.

Both cards set to work. Wood made the tree re-grow its roots while Earthy made a hole to plant it in. between them they lifted the tree up. Wood held it while Earthy filled in the hole round the roots and made sure it was stable. When they were done they both returned to card form.

Sakura thanked the two cards then brought out Rain, a little being sitting on a cloud, to water the tree and Flower, a woman in a pink dress and crazy corkscrew pigtails, to replace the flowers lost when the tree fell. It now looked as though the tree had always been there. When Sakura placed her hand upon the trunk again it hummed in happiness and thanks.

"You're welcome," she whispered to it.

"I wish I could take on my true form more often so I could enjoy the sun. Like we did when we was with Clow" Kero spoke as he stretched. When the two guardians were first created, it was in a time when magic was believed in. so they could move freely with their master without anyone batting an eye.

Sakura was just wishing the same thing when the tree began to glow. Then from her pouch, the illusion card shot forth. It hovered in front of the tree a moment, quivering. Before it fluttered to the ground. Sakura picked it up quickly and mentally asked the card if it was okay.

It confirmed it was, just that the cherry blossom tree had borrowed some of its power. As the card finished a beam of light shot to the heavens from the tree then it created a bubble the covered the whole of Sakura's estate. Sakura laughed in a free and happy tone as she turned to her guardians.

"Seems you get your wish Kero. Both of you can come out at anytime now in your true forms. Illusion and the sacred tree have made it so."

"Yay! I can eat Tomoyo's strawberry shortcake outside in the sun…oh and her…also her" Kero went on in he cake filled dreamland.

Sakura smiled at her sun guardian, something's never change. Yue was looking at his brother with long suffering annoyance. That was not how a guardian should act.

All of their heads whipped round at the aura of power that suddenly appeared. As they looked to the sky it seemed to melt and drip like hot wax to the ground. Kero began to growl while Yue snarled. Both of them too off towards the Intruders.

Everyone came out of the path between dimensions with the usual flair. All of them landing on Kurogane. Mokona bounced around as usual as Kurogane tried to get everyone off him.

"Puu. We've arrived in the next World" Mokona exclaimed as Kurogane grabbed the little furball.

"Oi White meat bun! What have I told you about the landings? Maybe we should have got the black meat bun!"

"Wahy Wahy! Kuro-chan, so mean" Mokona exclaimed

Mokona was a little white being almost like a rabbit with his large ears, but you could tell he was a magical creation. The white being was their transport between dimensions. The dimensional witch Yuuko gave had given him to them

Kurogane was a samurai from a different dimension than this one. His Japan mirrored the feudal era but with magic. He had served Princess Tomoyo. But in his never-ending struggle to become stronger he had killed many people in his dimension. This had been against the princess's wishes. So she had cursed him for every person he killed he would become weaker. And then she had sent him to the dimensional witch to find out about another kind of strength.

Kurogane's hair was deep black and spiky, around his head was a red bandana. He wore a long black cape and as a samurai carried a sword. Though the sword he had now was not his original one. He could seem gruff and imposing if you just met him. But he did have a soft heart.

Behind the warring two was another man. He was fair-haired and wore a long hooded white winter robe. He was smiling as Kurogane shouted at Mokona. This was Fye. He was a magician from yet another dimension; from his clothes you could tell his world was cold. He seemed to be running from something there.

Beside him were two young people, a male and a female. The male was making sure the girl was all right. The male was called Syaoran; his hair was short dark brown. His eyes were of a chestnut hue. He wore a long green cape and had goggles about his neck.

He was making sure the girl who had short chestnut hair and bright emerald eyes had not injured herself in the landing. Her name was Princess Sakura

From the dimension of Clow. Both Syaoran and herself came from Clow. Her father Clow Reed had been the king until his death. Then her older brother Toya had taken over.

It was for Princess Sakura that they were together; she had this magical power that none knew the full extent of it. Back in Clow something had happened to awaken her power in the form of wings at her back. A dark power had wanted Sakura's power for itself and attacked the kingdom. Syaoran had saved Sakura but the wings had exploded into individual feathers and spread across dimensions.

These feathers held her memory; at first she had been dying from the loss of them, for what is a body without a heart and soul? So the high priest of Clow, Yukito, had sent her to the dimensional witch with Syaoran as her protector. As fate would have it they all arrived at the same time. Their goals had coincided, Kurogane wanted to find his home dimension. Fye wanted to go anywhere but his dimension and Sakura needed to go to as many dimensions as she could to find her missing feathers

But as with all things there was a price. The dimensional witch would not give them Mokona to travel between dimensions without payment, something of great value to the owner.

For Kurogane it was his Katana, Silver Dragon. The sword had been in a symbol of his family for years. He vowed he would reclaim it.

For Fye it was the tattoo upon his back. It acted as a conduit for his magic. Without it he swore never to use magic.

For Sakura there was no price, for she was unconscious at the time. Though the price asked of Syaoran affected Sakura also.

For Syaoran it was his relationship with Sakura. The two of them had grown up together in Clow. She had taught him how to smile and laugh. If she regained all her memories, anything about him would be taken. She would see say an empty chair in her memory of a day where he once sat. Nor would she remember that the day before all of this happened she was going to tell Syaoran that she loved him.

"Who are you? Name yourselves!" came a roar from above, all eyes turned skyward as a winged man and lion came into view. They did not look happy.

Syaoran moved in front of Princess Sakura, as she stood scared at their aggressive nature. Fye and Kurogane stood close also, ready in case anything happened while Mokona zoomed into Sakura's arms. They two creatures seemed to become angrier as they caught sight of Sakura and Syaoran in the moonlight.

The winged man called forth what seemed to be crystals in his hands. They circled round his palm ready to be sent forth to impale his enemies. His violet/silver eyes narrowed as he spoke,

"Whatever your master is planning it won't work! Did he think to confuse the cards with these copies? We will teach him the error of this!" with that the winged man fired his crystals at them

Syaoran pulled Sakura out of the way as he saw the winged lion breath fire at Kurogane and Fye. He kept Sakura behind him as he called for Mokona to give him his fire sword. Mokona spat out the sword that was three times his size from his mouth and into Syaoran's waiting hand. Then the white meat bun spit out Kurogane's new sword that replaced silver dragon…for now.

"You think you can fight me Kuso?" the winged man shouted. "Your real self could never beat me. So what hope does a copy have?"

Syaoran jumped at the winged man only to be stopped by a magical barrier. He was thrown back and landed hard. Sakura rushed to his side looking fearfully at the winged man. Just as the man was about to fire again a female voice rung out.

"Kero! Yue! Stop!" Syaoran looked as a young woman walked into the light of the moon. His eyes widened as he saw her face aand her eyes seemed to widen at the sight of him. She seemed to whisper his name. She looked exactly like Sakura…only older.

"But Mistress! They must be stopped!" the man made to move again as did the lion.

"Yue! Keroberos! As your Mistress I command you to stand down!" She commanded, stomping her staff, which glowed a little. The lion backed down looking chastised as he walked to the women's side with his head bowed.

"But…her aura!" The winged man pointed at Sakura, Syaoran tensed.

"I know what her aura feels like Yue. But you are scaring the poor girl" the woman smiled kindly at Sakura. Syaoran felt Sakura leave his side and move towards the woman searching her face so like her own. The winged man called Yue and the lion Kero, tensed. As did Kurogane, Fye and Syaoran.

"I am sorry if my guardians scared you. They have been very protective of me as of late. Please tell me your names." Syaoran came to stand beside Sakura.

"My name is Syaoran and this is Princess Sakura"

The woman smiled. "I thought as much..and you?" She indicated Kurogane and Fye.

"I am Fye and this is Kuro-wan-wan" the fair-haired one spoke before getting hit on the head buy the dark haired one.

"I'm not a dog! It's Kurogane. KU-RO-GA-NE!" he shouted at Fye

"And I'm Mokona! Pleased to meet you! Puu" The woman petted Mokona as she laughed at their antics.

"Well my name is Sakura as well. Sakura Li. These are my guardians Yue and Keroberos but we call him Kero for short" the older Sakura smiled

"I sense great power in you" Fye spoke with his usual smile.

"I sense the same in you. You are a magician are you not? And all of you are not from this world that much I can tell. But come you must be hungry" as the elder Sakura spoke, the younger Sakura's tummy rumbled. The elder laughed. "Seems I was right, please follow…."

The elder Sakura was cut off as she stumbled; she dropped her staff to the ground as Yue and Kero rushed to catch her,

"Sakura!"

"Mistress!"

Yue gently picked up his mistress from the grass; she placed her arms about his neck as she was cradled against him.

"Sakura. Your wounds, I knew you should have stayed in bed." The lion exclaimed.

"Then why did you let her come out?" Yue turned his cold gaze on Kero.

"Now don't start." Sakura murmured. "Lets all go inside. Kero please bring my staff"

Yue turned to lead the way to the mansion as Kero picked up the staff in his jaws like a dog and indicated the others go first.

TBC,,,

KITG: So…..what do you think so far?
