---

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto was laying in her bed, wrapped up tight as could be in the blankets, occasionally just sighing. She had been to school, of course, but the normally peppy, excited, jumpy card captor was just in this horrible bounds of depression.

It wasn't hard to find out why. Lost her magic, lost her mother(a THIRD TIME), lost her cards...

Honestly, it's like life has just been smacking her down and trying to break her apart. And she just needed to rest and recover.

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Naomi has no idea about Sakura's current dilemma. She doesn't know that she's been in school. She doesn't know about her mother, the loss of magic or the loss of her cards. What she does know is that she's not heard a thing from her friend in about two weeks. This has her a little worried.

Now, As Cure Spark, the girl is flying through the air, searching the city. She's checked but to no avail. She went to the next most likely source to get information about her friend. Tomoyo. It took a bit of doing and an autographed photo of herself to actually find out where Sakura is.

Then its onto the Frat House, a place she's never been before. Using her ability to fly, she circles the building before finding the room where Sakura happens to be lying.

*Knock Knock Knock on the window*

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto glanced up and then... "Huh?" Laid her head back down. Then... "AGH! Spark-sensei!" she shrieked, throwing off the covers, running over and pulling open the window. "W-what are you doing out here? Why didn't you use the elevator? There are stairs, too! If elevators scare you!"

Kero was off to the side, her arms crossed. Well, at least Sakura had gotten up.

Sakura didn't look good, though. A bit... skinnier than normal. And she'd been crying a lot. And, well, the whole... not having magic thing was leaving her really, really tired.

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Spark smiles to Sakura. She does notice the change in appearance and that she is looking rather sickly. Quietly she flies into the room and lands. Her wings plinking into a back bow. "Hello Sakura-chan. I was worried about you. I haven't heard from you in a while and haven't been able to get ahold of you."

She doesn't dance around the topic. Nope! She's too worried for that. "What happened, Sakura-chan? You look really rough and like you've not been eating. You know you could have called and talked to me about whatever is troubling you right?"

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto sniffles and wipes her eyes. "I... I sent y-you a text, didn't you get it?" she asked softly, glancing up. "I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to worry you..."

Kero sighed. "Low down. Illusion card made sakura's mom appear, who is dead. Then this lost lego thing made sakura think her mom was real and some kids blew her up in front of her. Then Hannah almost died and Sakura gave her magic to the girl which was the STUPIDEST THING EVER because she wanted to be sure she'd be okay. Then the cards got stolen by some guy with a bad accent and a girl who looked like a copy of sakura. They mugged her and stole a bunch of them."

Sakura just kind of... feebly nods. "U-uh huh..."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark smiles to Sakura, "No Cell Phone." She states reminding her that Spark doesn't have a phone. Only her cure line. She frowns to Sakura, "Its okay. I'm not mad or anything. I understand, really.

Then Kero begins explaining what all happened. Quietly she moves to sit down on the edge of Sakura's bed. She pulls Sakura close and just hugs her tight. "Its okay. Its alright, Sakura-Chan." She frowns as she hugs her. "Can I do anything to help?" she whispers.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto goes into the hug willingly, closing her eyes and laying her head against the other girl's chest. "No. I just... what if..." She gulped. "W-what if that guy was right? I... I gave up my magic. I didn't even think about what might happen. I just... I just gave it up. And then... then he just took the cards. W-what if I'm not good enough to be the card captor? H-he had the power to... to capture the cards, r-right? A-and I'm supposed to be the only one..." She gave a little sniffle.

"What if I'm just a weak failure... what if... me having the cards was just an accident...?"

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark holds onto Sakura tightly. She doesn't speak. Not for a long few minutes. She lets Sakura speak her mind and cry if she needs to. Quiet she rubs her kohai's back and just quietly lets her know that she has a friend who isn't abandoning her.

Finally Spark gently pushes Sakura back a step so she can look her in the eyes. "Sakura-chan, you've been through a lot recently. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I understand why you'd want to give away your magic. Part of me might be a little mad about that but honestly, I understand why you did it and if I went through all of that I'd be ready to stop being Cure Spark." She frowns over the whole thing.

"You're the Card Captor, Sakura-chan. You are not weak. You aren't a failure. You're a wonderful friend and you're someone I know will do all you can to help people out."

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto nodded. "I-it was just temporary. She... she said my... link... thing, grows back. Jsut need to... to wait," she said with a light sniffle, rubbing her eyes. "I-I don't know... how long though..."

Kero sighed. "She's been sad ever since, I try telling her, but she won't listen..."

"You told me no one else could use the cards, too! But he did! Maybe you're just wrong! Maybe he was supposed to be the card captor and I... I was just an accident..." She looked up at Spark. "I... I want to help people but... but what can I even do? Everything I do... it just... it makes things worse...."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark blinks, "She who?" She asks as her eyes narrow. "I don't know what the link thingy is but... Someone removed your ability to use magic and suddenly someone showed up able to use the cards?" She asks curiously. Slowly she begins piecing things together.

Finally she stands up looking much more like she's ready to do something. "Remember when we were training, and I told you why I say what I do when I transform?" She asks quietly.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto blinked a few times. Then, slowly, her eyes went wide. "N-no. That's not... H-hannah wouldn't have done that! She can't be involved! She's my friend, s-she needed my magic to survive! S-she was really hurt!"

But there. There's that doubt. That little bit of... worry. Could hannah have betrayed her?

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark turns to look at Sakura. "Hannah?! Hannah Sharpe! Miss White!" She frowns and lightning crackles as she is clearly not happy. "She would. I thought she was trying to turn over a new leaf but, She can be a lot of trouble. Sakura-chan, I know of one person who has the ability to create alternate versions of magical girls. They did it to Prism Keeper Orange. Riventon. He's very dangerous." She frowns.

"It all starts with Curiosity. What if I do this or that. That is what I was going to ask. Right now though I am going to ask a more important question. What are you going to do? You're my Kohai and like a little sister to me. You know I will back whatever you decide to do. I can't help you over the illusions, but I can help you get your cards back and maybe get your thinger back. Its up to you. What do you want to do?"

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto stared at the ground. All those things people had said to her. All the bad things, Slowly she clenched her fists. She couldn't help it.

She was mad. She gives up her magic to help her friend. She makes herself VULNERABLE because she CARES! And what happens?

Her friend betrays her. There were tears in her eyes as she clenched the bed and... well, she looked mad. Really mad. Probably the first time she's actually looked mad since the Tomoyo incident. "SHE BETRAYED ME!"

KEro nods. "It would make sense. You gave her your magic, then this person turns up? Who happens to have your magic? I'm not sure on how these linking things work, but if they used your magic, it's entirely possible thats how they're controlling the cards and how they made a duplicate wand. It must be connected with your wand somehow."

"She... she's my friend. She..." Pause. "She was my friend. How could she do this to me, Spark-sensei? I defended her. I told everyone they were wrong! And she... and she just USED ME!"

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark frowns, "I don't know Sakura-chan but I intend to find out." She frowns and looks down at the floor. "Sakura-chan, I am so sorry this happened. I wish it wouldn't have. I wish you didn't have to go through this. Remember though, You have friends who aren't looking to betray you."

She quietly gets out her Cure Line and quickly makes a call. "Blue-Sama, What would Miss White want with a umm... Linker thingy?"

The image of Blue appears on her cureline and he responds, "Linker Thingy? Do you mean Linker Core? I don't know, Why do you ask?"

"Because she took away Sakura-chan's Magic and now all the sudden there is this wierd girl who looks like her out there using her cards and and wand."

"I will see what I can find out." With that the Cure Line goes dead.

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto shook her head. "But she... everyone is always telling me bad things about her. Everyone. A-and I defended her. They said she'd use me and she'd... and she'd hurt me and that she'd... what if this was it? what if this is what they meant?"

She looked up to Spark. "Why am I so stupid? Why did I trust her? Everyone told me not to and I just... I just..." She clutched her head. "I... I just wanna know why. Why would she do this to me? Why would she hurt me like this? Why would... I-I thought she was like a sister. This isn't what sisters do..."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark looks at Sakura, "There is a reason why people have been warning you about her. She's dangerous. She is usually afterher own ends and we usually don't know what they are. I trust Cure Gull. Cure Gull is in a relationship with Miss White. While I am civil with Miss White, I do not trust her because of who she works with.

Quietly she walks over and sits beside Sakura. "You aren't stupid. You trusted her because you want to see the best in others. You wanted to prove to others that she isn't as bad everyone says. As for why she would do this? I have no idea. I want to know why though. There is only one person who can answer that question and I really wanna go have a chat with her."

"No Its not. Its very dirty. I hope you don't think I would do that sort of thing to you. This is just... This is horrible."

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto nodded, leaning against her. She closed her eyes. "Just... do... it without me. I just... I just want to tell her. I just want to tell her I want nothing to do with her any more." She was quiet for a moment. "I'm so... I'm sad. I trusted her. I... I want to believe she had a good reason but... I just... I just..." She took a long, slow breath.

"I just want to tell her I'm... done. I forgive her, though. Is that weird? I don't... hate her. And I want to be her friend. But... but I can't now, can I? Not after this. Not after... doing this." She wiped her eyes. "I..." And then she hugged her and cried. "Why? Why couldn't we just be friends? Why can't she just be like I THOUGHT she was?!"

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark holds Sakura close and just frowns. "Sakura-chan. I know you are upset. I am too. You can't quiet though. You're a magical girl. Even without your cards and magic right now. You are the Card Captor. Those cards are your friends. I guarantee they will still hear you. You are a very compassionate person and you can use that right now. Hiding away and crying your eyes out, Its not going to help you. You have to get up. You have to get out there and you have to fight."

She frowns. "Being a Magical Girl... Its not like it is in the manga and anime. We go through a lot. We deal with it and we keep going because we are the ones that bring hope to the world around us. Even when they don't know its us. We fight, We stand, We get weak, We fall, We make mistakes, We learn from them. Then we stand and fight again because that is what we do. There is more on the line then just us. So, are you going to sit here and keep crying or are you going to get out here and go do your job. You've lost your cards again. You know what that means? Time to find them again." She turns to look at Kero, "Right?!"

Sakura Kinomoto has posed:
Sakura Kinomoto sniffled and then gave a nod. "Y-you're right. Y-you're right! I'm not... I'm not giving up!" She grabbed the cards in her pocket. "And... and I'm not going to lose my friends! Even if... Even if Hannah-chan betrayed me, I still have all my others! And I'm not... I'm not going to give up! I'm going to find them again and bring them back!"

She rubbed her eyes and smiled up at her. "I'm not going to give up, I'm not going to surrender!" The cards glowed in her hands and she blinked, looking down. "I... I can hear them again!" she said, her eyes going wide. "S-spark-chan! I hear them!" And then she hugged the girl, giggling happily, her arms tightening around her.

Sakura was back. And she was bringing muffins, cupcakes and hell with her!
