01x06 - Sakura and Her Mother's Memory

[bunniefuu]

[Sakura and memories of her mother]

That day it had gotten really late,

so I thought I would go through the woods
behind the school as a shortcut

A firefly?

Eh!

Sakura-chan

Sorry

Naoko-chan, is that story true?

Yeah

Could you have just mistaken it
with something else?

No

Let's not talk about this

I can't handle scary stories

Hey, why don't we go check

If that story is true

Club ends early today,

so let's invite Rika-chan
and all go together

Umm Umm Umm!

What?

Isn't there a cliff inside the woods?

It's dangerous

As long as you don't go next to
it everything is OK

But, what if a monster really did come out?

If we run away right away, it will be fine

But

Anyway, it's OK

Our break is over, let's go

Why does everybody like scary things?

Even though something scary might happen,

Why do we go?

Ah, Sakura-chan,

what's wrong?

Tomoyo-chan

Tomoyo-chan, come along!

Yes Yes

Why don't we go back?

It's fine There is still light out after all

Yeah, yeah Nothing to worry about

Hey, it's almost my mom's birthday.

What do you think would be a good present?

Your mom likes making sweets,

so why not a cute cake dish?

A cake dish?

Sakura-chan, what do you think?

Ah, don't worry about it

Now that you mention it,
this Sunday is my mom's

This way

It's crows

It was right here

Nothing is coming out

I wonder if it has to be night

Scary'

A long haired woman!

A misty form with pointed ears

A swirly thing with one eye

A pink monster with lots of fangs

A giant meat bun

What? I saw was a giant meat bun

I was really scared

What, Sakura, are you scared of ghosts?

I am

Even though you are fine fighting
the Clow Cards?

I just can't handle things
I don't really understand

I know where the Clow Cards came from

That's sort of an indefinite reason

But, didn't everybody see different things?

I wonder if there's a card like that

It's just about time for dinner

OK!

I wish you could hurry and
return to your normal form

and be my body guard

If you want that,

you'd need to get at least
the Fire and Earth cards

My true form is really cool

Cool?

EH!

It looks great!

You like noodles, don't you?

Yeah

I love this picture

This is from when Mom was sixteen right?

My mother Nadeshiko

She worked as a model
since she was in Jr High

We have all the pictures of her

From magazines,

and the ones that Dad took

Mom really was pretty

Yes, the most beautiful

and kind person in the world

I was only three when my mom d*ed,

so I don't really remember her

My dad tells me
all sorts of things about her,

So I love my mother

If you don't hurry and eat, it will get cold

Yeah.

If you don't hurry,

you'll miss the b*llet train

Yeah, yeah

Are your dad and brother gone?

My brother is at work,

my dad is on a business trip for a seminar

My dad made pudding

You want to eat my brother's along with me?

Yay! Pudding! Pudding!

Ah, I'll go pick that up

Hello? Kinomoto residence

Tomoyo chan? What is it?

They went to the woods again?

Yes, Chiharu called me.

This time they went with other club members

They say it appeared again

The ghost

What happened? What happened?

What is the use of the Card Captor
whimpering over a thing like this?

But

Are you all right?

I'm not all right, but

There were girls who got hurt, right?

Yes, I heard that Chiharu went with
about five people

When the ghost appeared they panicked

And people were falling down

If it is a Clow Card, I have to catch it

Now there is the Card Captor that protects
the peace of the neighborhood

But, what should I do if it is a ghost?

Anyway, we can't tell anything until
we check it out

Well then, shall we precede?

That is'?

Sakura!

Yeah! Fly!

Mom?

Is it really you Mom?

Mom!

What is that?

What's wrong Sakura?

Kero-chan!

Mom'

Sakura-chan!

That's a cliff!

Sakura-chan!

Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan!

Sakura-chan!

Sakura-chan!

Sakura is all right

Huh?

Are you awake?

Yukito-san,

Where is this?

It's my house

Your?

Huh? These clothes?

The ones you were wearing are being washed

Ah, it was my grandma who changed you

Oh yeah, my brother mentioned that

Yukito lived along with his grandmother and

Um, thank you very much

You fell from the cliff

Do you remember?

No'

I see'

But it surprised me.

I was walking along the road

and Sakura came floating from the sky

So you

Where is Tomoyo-chan?

A group of women wearing sunglasses
came to pick her up

She was very worried,

but when I said I would contact Touya

she asked me to take care of it.

My brother?

Don't worry

I'll explain things, so he won't scold you

Oh yeah, Kero-chan

Ah, that orange stuffed animal?

Tomoyo said
she would take care of him

So, rest a little longer

Yukito-san

Hmm?

I met my mother at the top of the cliff

I wonder if that was my mother's ghost

A long time ago my brother told me

In order for a ghost to
appear they need a reason

I wonder why my mother was there?

But you know, if it was your mother,

would she put you in danger?

Mom

Sorry about this Yuki

No problem

Sakura-chan said she met her mother

In the woods behind the elementary school

Have you ever seen your passed on mother?

Yes.

But not behind the school though

It's probably my fault

that she is afraid of monsters and ghosts

Ever since she was small

I would tell her things like
There's a woman with a

Or There is a man with white hair floating there

So, that is how Sakura-chan
became afraid of them

She can't see them, but it seems
that she knows they're there

She would just start crying out

Do you still see your mother?

No, she wasn't around any more
when I went to Jr High

I suppose it must be lonely for her
not to have her mother

I don't think that's it

It's just natural to want
to see her if she could

Sakura-chan has her troubles too,

so try not to scold her for today

But, if you really think Sakura-chan
is so cute

you should stop picking on her

The only one allowed to play around
with her is me

Have you ever heard of a sister complex?

Shut up

Come in

Sakura-chan

Tomoyo-chan

Are you OK?

You took the day off

Yeah, I'm just fine.

My brother ordered me to rest

Kero-chan

I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything

No. Thank you

It smells nice

But, I wonder what that light was

My mother was there In that forest

But everybody saw something different

You were the only one to see a woman

It might be best to give up on this one

I don't know if it's a Clow Card
or a real ghost,

but it has enough power
to defeat you and me.

It was me
who asked you to look for the cards,

but I don't want to see you get hurt

Kero-chan

That was pretty cool, Kero-chan

I am always cool

But, I think I'll go after all

Sakura

If it is a card, I have to do
something about it

If it's my mom

A long time ago my brother told me,
Mom isn't here anymore

Because I got big so she can relax

and went to a very beautiful
place above the sky.

That's why
I want to ask her why she's there,

and if she has something to say

Please be careful, Sakura-chan

Don't fall off the cliff again

Yeah

Be careful of the unexpected too.

But, I wonder if it will
appear so conveniently.

It will There is no avoiding my hunches.

There it is

Sakura

Yeah

It's Sakura-chan's mom

The same as the picture,
But why can we all see the same thing this time?

Mom

Is that really you Mom?

Why are you here?

Mom are you lonely?

Do you want to be with me

Wait! on't go Mom!

No! Don't go there!

Kero-chan!

Sakura is

Mom! Wait, Mom!

Please, don't leave!

Mom!

Sakura

Mom!

Why? Mom

Why?

If it really was your mother,

would she put you in danger?

No.

Mom wouldn't do this

She wouldn't do this

Sakura

Sakura

You're not my mom

Who are you?

I have seen that pattern before.

It is a Clow Card after all.

That light!

Return to your rightful form

Clow Card!

You did it

It's the illusion card

That's why everybody
saw different things

What do you mean?

Illusion is a card

That shows people what
they want to see

It shows you various things
within your own heart

It's only natural that
everybody would be different

Now that you mention it,
when we first came here I was hungry

And thinking I'd like to eat a meat bun.

The monsters that everybody saw

were what they thought would be scary,
if it appeared

Just all seeing Sakura's mom

It was because we were all shown the photo,

And expected her to show up

And what threw you back?

Sakura's feelings of happiness
from seeing her mom

It were just that strong

I'm so glad

That my Mom wasn't here alone

I would be happy if I could see her

But, if she is in a beautiful
place in the sky,

that makes me more happy

You tried this hard.

Your mother must be put at ease

Well, she might have worried a
little about you this time.

I'll be late!

In uniform even on a Sunday?

I have club

Thanks for breakfast

Happy Birthday, Mom

I love you

Well then, I'm off

I came because
I was a little worried this time

But she seems all right now
