AUTHOR'S ANNOYING NOTE: Thank you for those of you who reviewed my HP slash. One of you (thanx, Alex Destine ^_^) was kind enough to suggest that I shouldn't put all the CCS characters in this story and I will do my best not to irritate you with chapters filled with CCS characters. However, I have to add four (errr, that should be five including Kero-chan) CCS charas but I promise only two of them will appear predominantly in this fic, okay? The focus will still be on H/D and SS/OC (winks^_^).
I'm also happy to announce that I just got my first flame. It's a comment on "Love Markings" story. Wow! I really feel as if I'm a real author now he!he!he! I have one question for the moron who flamed me - if you hate yaoi so much, why waste your time reading my work?!!! Duh!!!
Okay, enough with my ramblings - READ ON!

The Journey Card
Part 3
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in a little town in Tokyo...
//She was standing with people around her, people she hasn't met before, she looked down on herself and saw she was wearing a robe of some sort, gold and red, roaring lions.
The scene shifts, a huge castle, startling emerald eyes entwined with silver, niisan, Yukito-san, Kero-chan.I'm coming - Shaoran-kun -
Sakura -
Time - so different - from my own - an old man with glasses - a warm smile - reminds me of father -
Sakura -
Where am I? A huge crystal cave - Create card?! - no - no - a demon of some sort - riddle - riddle - snakes - water - so pretty - mizu no fumetsu - mizu no fumetsu - protect - mizu no fumetsu - help me Clow - Clow - Clow!!!
SAKURA!!!
Sakura Kinomoto opened her eyes and shrieked.
"Nani?! What - what did you see?" Keroberos, the Seal Beast, roared from across the room. He righted himself from his upside down position--- muttering about his graceless landing and Sakura's ear-splitting scream.
"Kero-chan, are you alright?" Sakura looked at her friend with concern.
"No thanks to you." Kero answered waspishly. "So why did you scream?"
"Well, you would too if I woke you up screaming your name - and when I opened my eyes I saw you - ." Sakura answered with an irritated sigh, still clutching the bed covers in a tight grip.
"Thanks a lot - I may not win the Best Looking Seal Beast Award but I know I'm not that ugly. Now Suppi 1on the other hand - ." Kero trailed off with a smirk.
"Kero, what are you talking about? You are the only Seal Beast in existence so I don't think you'll have any problem winning the award." Sakura explained at the obviously pissed off Guardian. "I didn't scream because I find you ugly - I was just startled when I opened my eyes to see you right in front of my face - I wasn't expecting it, I guess."
"Okay - okay - say Sakura, what's that in your hand?" Kero, not really appeased by Sakura's explanation, asked. He noticed that Sakura was holding something in her right hand.
"Nani?!"
Sakura brought up the card she was holding tightly and examined it intently.
"Kero - Kero - I've never seen this card before." she whispered.
"What? Let me see that." Kero flew towards Sakura's bed and looked at the card.
The back of the card resembled any other Sakura cards ---it had a star magic circle. The front however, looked very strange since both of them knew each and every Clow-turned-Sakura cards and it certainly was not one of the fifty-two cards. The card had a beautiful young man in front --- dressed as a sailor. He had long hair and was carrying either a wooden stick or a flute. The word "Journey" was written underneath the figure.
"Sakura - I think you've created this card." Kero informed the visibly frightened girl.
"But - how is it possible? I was - was sleeping - and I didn't do anything last night." Sakura answered.
"Sakura, remember the first card you've created? You didn't mean to do it but your deep feelings for that boy, created your very own Sakura card."2
"Kero-chan, please don't call Shaoran-kun "that boy". He has a name you know." Sakura patiently admonished the Seal Beast before continuing, "I just didn't know that I can create cards even when I'm not awake."
"Hmmm - I can't say that Clow created one when he was sleeping but hey, there's always the first time for everything."
Sakura was quiet for one moment thinking about what her friend said.
*Clow - Clow - he was in my dream! *
"Kero, do you think this has anything to do with my dream?"
"What dream? You didn't tell me anything about your dream." Kero answered with a frown.
"Well - I think one of the reasons why I screamed before was because I was in the middle of this really weird dream when you woke me up. I was in a place I've never seen before - it was a really huge castle --- like the ones we see on TV. There were many people in there - dressed in strange clothes - then I was in this beautiful cave but there was a monster - I thought at first it was the Create card but this was real - and - and - Clow was there - he really looked real - ." Sakura trailed off still caught up in her confusing visions unaware that she was almost babbling incoherently.
Keroberos reached up and felt Sakura's forehead. "Sakura, you're not sick again, are you?" he asked with another worried frown.
Sakura smiled and patted him gently. "No Kero, I just think that it's strange that I had that dream and then I woke up with a new card. Maybe - I should talk to Shaoran and Yue - ."
"Good idea - but why should you also include that brat?" Kero asked with an indignant sniff.
"Kero - ."
"Okay - okay - but first you have to cook breakfast. I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry."
"Well, since your otoosan isn't here to bake those delicious cakes - .I had to put up with your cooking."
"Keroberos!"
"Kidding - ."
"Why don't you bring the Clow book and the new card with you downstairs? Since it's Saturday, Yukito-san would be here to have his weekend breakfast with us. I'll show it to him and to niisan. I'll just finish making up the bed."
"Hai!" Kero flew to the desk and with a grunt picked up the Clow book where all the other cards reside but not before slipping in the "Journey" card inside in the book.
"I should have transformed first. Being in my super cool form - carrying this heavy book would be a piece of cake." Kero grumbled under his breath as he flew downstairs slowly. Reaching the living room he looked around and decided to place it on top of the coffee table.
"Whew! That made me really hungry. I wonder if Sakura has some left-over pudding." Keroberos flew into the kitchen in search of sustenaforgforgetting for the moment the mystery of the new Sakura card.
Unbeknownst to Sakura who was busy cleaning her room, and Keroberos who was also busy pigging out in the kitchen - a strange stiff wind entered the room knocking askew several pictures on the wall and the throw pillows off the couch. It created more disturbances around the room before finally sweeping past the Clow book with a sudden fierce gust. The book, as if in slow motion, fell on the floor scattering the Clow cards every which way. Two cards in particular landed on to eac each other and emitted a strange silvery light before settling back as if nothing of importance had happen.

To be continued - .
So what do you think of it? Have I confused the hell out of you? Don't worry - I think were making good progress here - it's kind of slow but definitely inching our way up.
In case you're not familiar with the Japanese terms I've thrown in into this mush here are some Definition of Terms:
Nani - what
niisan - brother (elder)
otoosan - father
hai - yes or something like that
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Suppi, also known as Spinnel Sun was created by Clow Reed along with Ruby Moon.
2 I think this was in episode 70 of the CCS series when Sakura finally realized that she loves Li Shaoran and thus created a new card. I don't know if the card has a name but based on the drawing in front I think it's the "Love" card or something along that line.
