     1.7 +Author’s notes
     1.8 +
     1.9 +Hey, this is the standard disclaimer of your choice; CLAMP owns CCS
    1.10 +and so on…
    1.11 +Any way, I hope that you enjoy your reading and my stories.
    1.12 +I don’t know where this fits in, as I’ve only seen the American
    1.13 +dubbed version (<_>) so I won’t be using all of the correct Japanese
    1.14 +spellings, I don’t think. I will try to use some Japanese though, so
    1.15 +haannaay or hanya or what ever happy is in Japanese.
    1.16 +
    1.17 +There is Yuri in this story, so if you don’t like the thought of two
    1.18 +girls/women liking each other or having a relationship together,
    1.19 +evolve and grow up. On the other hand, you cant just not read this.
    1.20 +
    1.21 +I also made most of this story at about eleven until three in the
    1.22 +morning, sometimes past three, so I hope you can forgive any of my
    1.23 +faults (Godder Grammmer and crpa) and any of my screw-ups involving
    1.24 +the plot of the series… but I hope you like it anyway
    1.25 +
    1.26 +Illusions of happiness (should I tell if it is a happy or sad
    1.27 +ending? It is a bit sad, but also happy.)

    1.34 +This is where the narrator, which looks like a little plush teddy
    1.35 +bear we know, steps in to tell us what is happening.
    1.36 +
    1.37 +Kero, I mean Narrator: It was a sunny day, in Tomoeda, and Sakura
    1.38 +was running late, as usual. (So, once again, I didn’t get any
    1.39 +breakfast. <o_o>) Sakura is roller blading down the ohh too familiar
    1.40 +street that heads to the front gate of Yuri Bjoushi Elementary (did I
    1.41 +get that right?) 
    1.42 +
    1.43 +Sakura skids to a halt at the gate, looking for Madison, who else?
    1.44 +
    1.45 +¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤
    1.46 +
    1.47 +~ Sakura’s point of view ~
    1.48 +
    1.49 +‘What? Where is Madison? I know that she usually, always, waits for
    1.50 +me, even if it makes her late. Is she sick? Is she… AHHHH, I’m SUPER
    1.51 +SUPER late today!!!’
    1.52 +
    1.53 +I run through the halls, looking for my Math class. ‘OHHH MAN, That
    1.54 +was the second bell!! And last time Sensei said that if I was late
    1.55 +again, I would get detention!’
    1.56 +
    1.57 +As Sakura skids in the halls, trying to open the door silently. It
    1.58 +jerks open in front of her, and there was her teacher, fuming mad.
    1.59 +“Just take a deep breath,” Her teacher said to no one particular
    1.60 +“SAKURA!!!!” her yell echoed throughout the halls.
    1.61 +
    1.62 +“MS. AVALON, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU??? YOUR LATE, AGAIN!!!!”
    1.63 +The older woman bellowed, “GET TO YOUR SEAT, OR I…” she was cut off
    1.64 +at that point by a familiar, melodious, beautiful voice.
    1.65 +
    1.66 +“Excuse me, but Sakura didn’t wake up because of me, I forgot to
    1.67 +call her. You see, her father is out of town, and ke… I mean her
    1.68 +brother” oops, near slip there” isn’t home either, so she couldn’t
    1.69 +have woken up on time, because I didn’t call her”
    1.70 +
    1.71 +It was Madison, Sakura’s best friend.
    1.72 +
    1.73 +“I’m sorry for being late” at this point, she had the courage to
    1.74 +look at her teacher *probably because Madison is here*  “again.” She
    1.75 +finished of with a small smile at lavender haired girl, and hurried
    1.76 +to sit down, rubbing the back of her head.

    1.80 +~ Madison ~
    1.81 +
    1.82 +“What took you so long?” I asked, admiring those pools of green for
    1.83 +the umpteenth time today.
    1.84 +
    1.85 +“I…umm…I fell asleep after you called me, gomen Madison.” My Sakura,
    1.86 +no, Sakura said.
    1.87 +At first, I was a bit angry with her… but how do you expect me to
    1.88 +stay mad at her for long, let alone for the time being.
    1.89 +
    1.90 +“Ohh, Sakura was sleepy from last night’s late fashion show. Sakura
    1.91 +looks so cute when she is sleepy!” I spoke, trying to cheer her up.
    1.92 +How I had managed to get up today I still don’t know, let alone make
    1.93 +it to school on time. I was up all night, crying again. Sakura, how I
    1.94 +miss you, even when I'm standing there next to you. I promised once
    1.95 +that I would tell you about it… but I'm afraid, not strong and
    1.96 +courageous like you, but weak, and sad…
    1.97 +
    1.98 +“What, huh? Ohh, sorry Sakura, I was just thinking.” I hope that she
    1.99 +didn’t see me, I was trying to be alone so I could think, and cry
   1.100 +some more but it wont do to let Sakura see me crying, will it? I
   1.101 +don’t want to dampen her ginki sprit? No, I would never want to hurt
   1.102 +her, even if I had to be the on the was hurting instead…
   1.103 +

   1.105 +
   1.106 +~Sonomi’s point of view~
   1.107 +
   1.108 +“OHH, my dear Madison is home!! How was school, better yet, how was
   1.109 +Sakura? (My daughter had told me about her love, well, I guessed it
   1.110 +and she just admitted it. It was quite obvious, if I say so my self.)
   1.111 +When are you going over to her house to sleep-over?”
   1.112 +
   1.113 +“MOM, ohh, never mind.” Was my dark haired girls reply.
   1.114 +
   1.115 +“I was just asking! I worry about you!” Ever since… well… the
   1.116 +incident I have worried about her and tried to protect her the best I
   1.117 +can.
   1.118 +
   1.119 +“Mom, you know, sometimes you’re a bit over protective! But I just
   1.120 +take it to hart, knowing that I’m loved.” Nice recovery she made
   1.121 +there.
   1.122 +
   1.123 +“Well, ok… but please be careful, I already lost Nadeshiko, and I
   1.124 +don’t want to lose the other person that is dear to me.” If anything
   1.125 +happened to her… But I felt that she is safe with her green-eyed
   1.126 +friend. I don’t know why, though. I just sensed something different
   1.127 +about her…
   1.128 +“Well, you better get going soon, you don’t want to be late, do you?
   1.129 +And remember, get all of it on tape so we can watch it later!” I
   1.130 +always liked to watch her tapes. Sakura reminded me so much of my
   1.131 +true love… Well, I can understand why my daughter likes my love’s
   1.132 +daughter. A bit Ironic, but cute all the same.
   1.133 +
   1.134 +Maybe I will be able to see my precious Nadeshiko again tonight, in
   1.135 +my dreams…

   1.138 +
   1.139 +~ Nadeshiko’s point of view ~
   1.140 +
   1.141 +I can watch my love, my true love from my place of view, always
   1.142 +watching over Sonomi, Madison, Sakura, or my husband and our son.
   1.143 +
   1.144 +I love my husband, but I also love Sonomi too, and it is a thought
   1.145 +that scares me, if I had to chose between the two…
   1.146 +
   1.147 +I wish that I hadn’t been so ignorant about Sonomi, or that my
   1.148 +daughter wasn’t the same way about Madison…
   1.149 +
   1.150 +¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤
   1.151 +
   1.152 +~ Sakura again ~
   1.153 +
   1.154 +“Did you feel that Madison?” I asked urgently, after feeling like I
   1.155 +was being watched
   1.156 +
   1.157 +“Feel wha…” Madison stopped for some reason
   1.158 +
   1.159 +“Madison? Where are you? … Madison?” Where had she gone? She was
   1.160 +just here in bed, but she stopped talking for some reason. Maybe she
   1.161 +just fell asleep, no that wasn’t like her. Maybe she just got up for
   1.162 +a drink or something…
   1.163 +
   1.164 +“SAAAAAAKKKKKUUUURRRAAAA!!” I heard her scream, some time after that
   1.165 +
   1.166 +“HELP! A CLOW CARD!” I got up outta bed still in my pajamas, looking
   1.167 +around desperately for the key.
   1.168 +“MADISON, WHERE ARE YOU?” I yelled hoping I could hear her, that
   1.169 +something hadn’t… silenced her.
   1.170 +
   1.171 +“up here…” Her voice sounded far away, and she must be moving
   1.172 +straight up! But… I already caught all of the cards that could fly…
   1.173 +What was it? I caught the dream card too, so I wasn’t having a bad
   1.174 +dream…
   1.175 +
   1.176 +“HAHAHAHA, NO, SHE’S MINE NOW, YOU’LL NEVER GET HER BACK AGAIN!”
   1.177 +That sounded like… Li… But, I thought her lov, liked me? Why would he
   1.178 +want her then? As I found the key, I grabbed it… but it fell through
   1.179 +my hands, so I tried to pick it up again, but I just couldn’t touch
   1.180 +it! When I touched it, my hand just went right through it. Could it
   1.181 +be a card like Transparency? But then how would it take Madison?
   1.182 +
   1.183 +“Sakura, what is the matter? Is it a card?” A familiar voice sounded
   1.184 +behind my head, as something that was yellow, no, tan whooshed by my
   1.185 +head.
   1.186 +
   1.187 +“Kero, It’s a card, and it got Madison! What could it be?” I was
   1.188 +relived that the small looking seal-beast was here, but still puzzled
   1.189 +on what card had Madison, and why the key was acting so strangely…
   1.190 +
   1.191 +“Hey, who are you, what…” I heard as Kero said something outside of
   1.192 +the window, and I was getting scared.
   1.193 +
   1.194 +“Kero…KERO???” Oh no, I couldn’t help but think two down. It was up
   1.195 +to me…
   1.196 +
   1.197 +It was hovering outside of my window, but I couldn’t see his *gulp*
   1.198 +or its face *double gulp* or whatever it had on its’ head… Then I saw
   1.199 +the hand, it looked like it was wet, or worse yet, was MADE of water.
   1.200 +Oh man, then I realized that it was coming through the window towards
   1.201 +me, and I realized something that mad me forget about the key, Kero,
   1.202 +and Madison. It was coming through the window, right? Then why was
   1.203 +the window closed, and locked. It can’t be, not a
   1.204 +
   1.205 +“GOST, GET AWAY, NOOOOO” I yelled.
   1.206 +
   1.207 +Then, as it gripped me, I realized that I was being shaken, and that
   1.208 +I was in my room, sweating. I saw the person that was shaking, no,
   1.209 +more like just holding me…
   1.210 +
   1.211 +“MADISON, ohh, it’s you, where did the ~ gulp ~ Gost go?” I asked
   1.212 +that pair of eyes surrounded by hair that was Madison.
   1.213 +
   1.214 +“There was none, there there, it was just a bad dream. Don’t worry
   1.215 +about it” Ohh, what sweeping relief this girl’s face gave to me.
   1.216 +
   1.217 +“What, dream? But, I was sure!” I replied, “But I got the dream card
   1.218 +already! Where is Kero? He would know.” I looked around for that
   1.219 +perpetually hungry teddy bear.
   1.220 +
   1.221 +“There he is, Kero, wake up. KERO, GET UP” I said while shaking the
   1.222 +seal-beast.
   1.223 +
   1.224 +“Ummhh… Pudding…” Kero said, still asleep, “hummmh what? What do you
   1.225 +want?” He woke up slowly.
   1.226 +
   1.227 +“There was a card!” I was frantic, searching to find it. I know it
   1.228 +had been there, I felt it, I sensed it. I was sure of it.
   1.229 +
   1.230 +At that moment, I saw something that was shiny outside of my window,
   1.231 +right as I saw Li jump through it with the Lasin board in hand, but
   1.232 +wasn’t it closed? I guess not.
   1.233 +
   1.234 +“Did you…” Li cut me off at that moment.
   1.235 +
   1.236 +“Yes, it was a card, and a powerful one. What did it do? Have you
   1.237 +seen it yet?” Li interjected.
   1.238 +
   1.239 +I told him about my dream, (all that I knew about it) and then
   1.240 +blushed furiously when I noticed that I was in my pajamas, and he was
   1.241 +in full costume. I stood up quickly, and so did Madison.
   1.242 +
   1.243 +“Here Sakura, this is the costume that I made, go put it on so we
   1.244 +can go find that card” Madison spoke while rummaging around in her
   1.245 +white backpack for something that I soon noticed as her ever
   1.246 +faithful, ever trusty, ever ready camcorder.
   1.247 +
   1.248 +“Uh, thanks Madison, I’ll change right now,” then as a quick after
   1.249 +thought, remembering that Li was here, and Meilin probably would show
   1.250 +up any minute, “in the bathroom.”
   1.251 +
   1.252 +As I stepped into the bathroom to change, I heard another voice
   1.253 +outside the door.
   1.254 +
   1.255 +“What are we doing here Li, why are we at her house? I though that
   1.256 +you said you had sensed a card, so why do we need her pathetic help?”
   1.257 +Ahh, it was Meilin, like I suspected. 
   1.258 +
   1.259 +“We are here because this is where the Lasin board said it was,
   1.260 +remember? I was running by and this is where it stopped pointing.” Li
   1.261 +replied, scowling like usual, or I guessed.
   1.262 +
   1.263 +¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤
   1.264 +
   1.265 +~ Li ~
   1.266 +
   1.267 +“Sakura, you almost ready?” I was scared when I heard her scream. I
   1.268 +don’t like her or anything, well, I like her, but not like that. I’m
   1.269 +not surprised that Meilin came with me. Some how she managed to
   1.270 +follow me, even when I was using my Cards.
   1.271 +“Good, now lets go, grab your key. And Madison, try to stay outta
   1.272 +the cards way, it could hurt you.” I said, almost blushing. Madison
   1.273 +was, is cute, but I think Meilin would kill me if I made a move on
   1.274 +anyone else. I don’t mind though. She’s nice, as long as you’re not
   1.275 +on her bad side.
   1.276 +
   1.277 +“Umph…” I hear behind me as Sakura jumps down from her window.
   1.278 +
   1.279 +“Just use fly or float.”
   1.280 +
   1.281 +“Ohh, duh, I’ll get it for Madison. Float, bring Madison to the
   1.282 +ground, and be careful.” I hear her say. She must really be best
   1.283 +friends with Madison, to take such care as to get a card out for her,
   1.284 +when Madison could have just gotten down using the stairs, and tell
   1.285 +float to take “Good Care of Her”
   1.286 +
   1.287 +“Good, now we can get that card. It sounds like the dream card, but
   1.288 +maybe it was a premonition…” I know she has visions in her dreams,
   1.289 +but this one sounded kinda off, well, we will see.
   1.290 +
   1.291 +¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤~~~~~¤
   1.292 +
   1.293 +~ Meilin ~
   1.294 +
   1.295 +Humph, why did we have to stop at what’s-her-face Avalon’s house? Why?
   1.296 +Does Li that girl like Li? Worse yet, does Li like her?
   1.297 +
   1.298 +“Li, why did we have to stop at her house?” I said as we were
   1.299 +running with the now shining Lasin board. “Why? Do you like her or
   1.300 +something?”
   1.301 +
   1.302 +“Of course I like her, but not in the way that you think.” Well, I
   1.303 +guess if Li likes me more than he likes her, if he loves me, than all
   1.304 +is well. But, if he likes her… what will I do? I would be mad at her,
   1.305 +that stupid Madison. Well, I guess that it could also be that weird
   1.306 +Sakura. Maybe. I don’t wish.

   1.310 + ~ Narrator ~
   1.311 +
   1.312 +So, what do we have now? We have a confused Meilin, an intrigued Li,
   1.313 +a dreaming or rather nightmaring Sakura, and a sleepy and hungry
   1.314 +(ALWAYS) Kero, and nostalgic Sonomi, a watchful Nadeshiko, and
   1.315 +lastly, a… umm… well, we would have to see Madison’s current mood.

   1.318 +
   1.319 +~ Madison ~
   1.320 +
   1.321 +“Huh, ohh, this is hard. Running and running and running, I was so
   1.322 +out of breath that I thought that I was spinning, or maybe swimming.
   1.323 +But, I should be used to it, because I got it every time I saw that
   1.324 +ravaging angel of the cards.
   1.325 +“Ohh, Sakura…” I said absent-mindedly, and dreamily.
   1.326 +
   1.327 +“Yes Madison?” Sakura replied. Wait, did she just say what I think
   1.328 +she said? Did she just actually hear what I just thought? Did I just…
   1.329 +
   1.330 +“Yes?” She was waiting for me.
   1.331 +
   1.332 +“Ohh, I’m just running out of breath, were running so hard. But
   1.333 +Sakura the athletic card captor isn’t out of breath, because she is
   1.334 +strong.” I thought up quickly. I love to make her blush.
   1.335 +“Sakura is so kawwii when she blushes!” Sakura is so cute whenever
   1.336 +she does anything, I wanted to add. But alas, I never could. I mean,
   1.337 +what would she do if she knew? Probably run from me? Maybe she would
   1.338 +faint… No, she was WAY to strong for that. I would be the one to
   1.339 +faint, not her. I wish that someday I could call her mine. My Sakura,
   1.340 +no, she could never be mine…
   1.341 +
   1.342 +“Ohh… umm… thanks Madison, you say such thoughtful things.” She
   1.343 +blushed once again. My wonderful, kawwii beautiful Sakura. Maybe when
   1.344 +the Sakura blossoms are in bloom, I will tell her. Or leave her,
   1.345 +because Li will be coming to his senses.
   1.346 +
   1.347 +
   1.348 +End Chapter One. Stay Tuned for the next fiction, it will come soon.
