Sakura stood where she had just shattered the vines
that had bound her. Beside her, Mizuki-sensei waited,
her solemn eyes watching the Final Judgement. She had
performed her role; now it was up to the young girl to
figure out what to do. 

"I need a card that won't hurt Yue..." Her hands fell
to her deck, and she started to flip through them. She
couldn't think of Yue as the grim judge; in his face,
she saw the lines of Yukito, the boy she had cherished
for so long. 

She couldn't bring herself to hurt him. That was why
she had tried to use the Woody to imprison him.
Sakura's gloved hands fell on the gentle Windy. She
had captured so many cards with her, surely... 

As she raised the Windy, a sudden hesitation came over
her. "Kero rules Firey and Earthy... That must
mean..." She didn't know much, but the Watery and the
Windy were the other two elemental cards, and Clow-san
seemed to like separating things equally. 

Yue floated in the air, the moonlight reflecting off
his wings. "Are you going to do nothing?" he asked.
"It's time for this farce to end." His hands raised
slowly, between them a bow of light forming, one which
she knew would release powerful magic. He was an
expert archer, she knew now, just like Yukito.... 

Just like Yukito... 

Her eyes widened in realization, and she pulled out a
card, striking it with her changed wand. 

"SWEET!" 

Watching from a distance, Kero roared in triumph. "She
did it!" he said. 

Li raised an eyebrow. "How?" he asked. "How did she
beat him?" 

"She found the one card Yue was vulnerable to. Did you
ever notice that Yukito loves to eat?" 

Li nodded. "Yes..." 

"Yukito is Yue's subconscious. Yue never eats because
he thinks he's above it. It results in a SEVERE
craving for food. Guardians don't have to eat, but we
like to. Deny a craving, and it gets vicious." 

Up on the tower an hour later, a sugar-drunk moon
guardian pronounced Sakura the Mistress of the Cards.
