"Lord Kuhn will be taken out of the line of succession and Lord Eriol will once again be put in the line of succession. As further punishment for their crimes Lord Kuhn will be taken from Master Xiao Lang and Mistress Ying Fa and be instead given to Lady Tomoyo, our Lord Eriol's bride, to raise and he will no longer be able to take any claim to the Li house." The head of the Elders said loudly to the group. They all nodded none having authority to override the eldest. "So it shall be done."
Sakura sat in her study, at her desk. Cerberus laid beside her feet. She was looking over her cards they had been telling her that something was going to happen for some time now but were not specific enough to tell her what the event was. Suddenly the door was thrown open. Sakura and Cerberus were on their feet in seconds. At first she smiled and relaxed when she recognized them as elders, "To what do I owe this visit?" "Lady Ying Fa we are here to inform you that as of four months ago you and your husband, the Lord Xiao Lang, have been found to have committed a treasonous act. You both are to be punished. Your son is to be taken out of the line of succession, furthermore he is to be taken away from you and your husband and given to another." One elder spoke in a commanding voice. In seconds Sakura's face changed from surprised to shock then fear. Cerberus looked between his Mistress and the elders. Slowly Sakura started to back against the wall. Trying desperately to put distance between her and the elders. "No. Never. We have done nothing wrong. My son has done nothing. Who put you up to this?" The mans face became angry and he stepped toward her. Sakura backed away again frightened. Cerberus jumped in between the two. "You will not harm my Mistress." Cerberus growled. The man stopped. "We're not after your Mistress only the boy." Sakura's face became panicked. She tried to find a way out. Any way if she could only get to her son. Everything would be fine. Syaoran would help her. Once again the men advanced on her noticing what she was doing.
Cerberus looked between the two, he was reluctant to attack the men. They were members of this clan but if they continued to threaten Sakura he would have no choice. His loyalties laid first with her, clan second. Quickly Sakura grabbed two cards from the desk. In a flash Sakura held a long sword in her hands ready to fight. "Cerberus keep them as long as you can." Sakura shouted as she turned to the door. Cerberus jumped at the man nearest to him, knocking him to the floor. Once out of the room she slammed the door and throw the other card up the door glowed as it locked behind her. She quickly came to another door. Bursting in she found a man standing with a baby in his arms. Quickly she ran over to him. "Syaoran! Syaoran we need to go. They are going to take him. They want to get rid of him." Sakura said fear apparent on her face. Syaoran looked at her for a second then handed her the child. "Here take Kuhn. Run. I'll hold them off." The door flew open and the men that got away from Cerberus ran in. Syaoran pushed Sakura towards the door. "Go." Then he turned back to the other men.
Sakura ran from the room holding her son close to her. She was looking for any one who could help her. No one seemed to be around. The once busy house was deserted, not even a servant in sight.They had planned this. They wanted her alone. Sakura was suddenly pushed to the side by a man. An elders guard came at her from the side pushing her down. She stumbled away. The guards started to group around her. Quickly she stud taking her sword in her free hand and holding it in font of her. "I will attack. Stay away from me." She growled. The guards did not listen and advanced on her, pulling out their own weapons. Sakura held her son close to her as she charged at the man in front of her. Catching one in the side with her sword, she pushed him off her as another came at her. This one cut her arm, she cried out in pain, but retaliated by stabbing him in the stomach. Again she tried to run from the room. She was grabbed from behind, she dropped her weapon to get a better hold on her son. They tried to pull Kuhn from her. She struggled, all the while the boy cried out in fright. "Cerberus! Yue!" Sakura cried in desperation. Two powers appeared at her side. The men holding her released her in surprise. Cerberus appeared joined by Yue. They stud protectively in front of her. Sakura regained her hold on Kuhn.
Yue and Cerberus attacked Sakura was able to run from the room. A man appeared in front of her. She almost cried when she saw him. "Eriol! I don't know what happened. They found out! They are trying to take Kuhn!" Sakura said running to him. "Sakura, I know. I was sent to take him." Suddenly Sakura stopped her advances. "What?" She gasped. "The Elders want me to take him." She backed away as he started to advance towards her. "Please, Eriol, let me go." "I'm sorry Sakura." Gently Eriol took the child from Sakura. Kuhn started crying at being taken from his mother. Slowly Eriol turned and gave the baby to the women behind him.
Sakura looked up at the women surprised, "T-Tomoyo?" "I'm so sorry Sakura. I have no choice." The door behind Sakura slammed open making everyone look towards it. Syaoran stud in the open doorway looking in between his family members confused. Sakura only sat on the floor tears streaming down her face. Slowly Syaoran walked toward Tomoyo to take his son back. Tomoyo stepped back and Eriol stud in front of her blocked Syaoran's view of his son. "What are you two doing?" "Syaoran we were told to take him. You have been found out?" "What? How?" Tomoyo had tears running down her face as she looked towards Sakura. They made eye contact for only a moment before Tomoyo turned and left the room.
Syaoran jumped towards her in a last chance to get the boy from her but was caught by Eriol. "Just let it go. At least you still get to see him. They're not sending him away." Eriol tried to comfort him. Syaoran struggled until he heard Sakura's cries, he want to her and hugged her to him. Sakura turned towards his comfort. Slowly the elders walked into the room. Yue and Cerberus appeared at Sakura's side. Eriol slowly knelt down to try to comfort her. As soon as he touched her she cringed away from his touch. He quickly pulled back after hearing the grow Cerberus was giving him as a warning. Slowly he left the room leaving Sakura and Syaoran alone with the men that had taken their son away from them.
Suddenly Sakura looked up at them hate written in her eyes. A fierce wind started to blow around the room. The windows started to shatter, showering the room in glass. Cerberus and Yue backed away from their Mistress, as even Syaoran was pushed away. The elders stayed back to afraid to move. "How dare you! You use my family against me. Again you have ruined my life. Taken away my happiness." Sakura yelled at the frightened men. Around Sakura a gold glow appeared as well as her magic circle under her. When the light made contact with her millions of tiny lights flew though out the room. The men watched the lights fly around in shock. Soon the lights turned into Clow cards. Sakura stud wrapped in a bright pink light. When it cleared she stud in dark blue robes, they had a sun and a moon on the back. In her hands she held her tall staff, with a sun and star sitting in between a pain of gold wings. Yue and Cerberus bowed low to her. Their Mistress was on longer the happy Sakura Li, she had turned into the Clow Mistress,...Sakura Reed.
