--*The Task*--
Yelan looked at her son sternly. *He is now ready for his final task.* She cleared her throat and her son looked up from his day dreaming. "XiaoLang, you are going to Tomoeda, Japan for your final task. If you suceed, you will become the new leader of the Li Clan."
XiaoLang aka Syaoran, nodded. "And what is my task?"
"The Clow Cards dear. They belong to us, the Li Clan, because we are direct descedents of Clow Reed himself." Yelan explained. "But somehow, the Clow Book is in the wrong hands of a girl in Japan. You must get all the cards back from this girl before she turns 16. For when she turns 16, she is officially the card mistress, and we will not have that!"
"Is that all?"
"And you must kill the girl."
Syaoran's eyes widened. "Why do I need to kill someone?"
"Because then there should be no chance that anyone will come and take the cards away from us again. Got that XiaoLang?"
Syaoran nodded and started to leave when his mother spoke up again.
"Your flight is leaving today at
9:00 pm. I suggest you start packing." Yelan said in a colder tone. "Don't
have mercy, and don't let your heart soften."
"I'm getting dizzy Sakura!"
Sakura giggled and stopped swinging Kero around in circles. "I'm just so happy today Kero!"
"And why are you so happy?"
"Tomoyo and I are going to the new carnival that opened last Monday! It's going to be awesome!" Sakura clapped her hands together.
Kero's eyes had stars in them. "Sakura? Would you be so kind in bringing me along?"
"So you can raid the food stands?"
"Excatly."
Sakura thought for a moment, but smiled and said, "Ok, I'll bring you along!"
"OH YEAH!!! I LOVE YOU SAKURA!!!" Kero flew over to her and gave her his best hug he could manage with his paws.
"But, of course you have to stay silent, and stay in my bag at most times. Ok?"
Kero nodded and flew into Sakura's book bag and pretended he was a stuffed animal.
Sakura giggled.
"Hey squirt, your friend is here!" Touya called from downstairs.
Sakura swung the bag around her shoulder and ran down the stairs. "Bye oni-chan (brother)! Bye otou-san (father)!"
"Looking good Sakura!" Tomoyo smiled at her friend as they got into the limo.
"Arigatou (thank you) Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura was wearing a sleaveless white dress that went all the way down to her ankles with cherry blossom petals decorating it. "You're looking great to!"
Her friend smiled and pulled out her video camera. "I brought this along just in case we catch one of your kawaii moments!"
Sakura sweatdropped as Tomoyo chatted on about how a video camera worked and how you could add effects on the computer. Finally they arrived and the two stepped out of the limo.
"Wow! I bet this place would look so cool at night!" Sakura commented.
Tomoyo nodded in agreement. "Then let's stay till night!"
"Yeah!" Kero popped his head out of the bag.
"You brought him along?" Tomoyo questioned.
Sakura nodded, "Don't worry. He's here for the food!" Tomoyo sweatdropped with Sakura.
"Hey look! Let's go on that rollar coaster!" Sakura ran to join the line up with Tomoyo.
"I hate line ups!"
"Yeah, but its usually worth the wait!" Sakura smiled and soon it was their turn.
"Do I have to go with you guys?" Kero complained in the bag.
Tomoyo giggled, "The great guardian beast is afraid?"
Kero turned red in anger. "I'm not afriad! I just have a tender stomach!"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "As if."
The coaster went over a loop and down a very steep hill. Sakura felt something. A strange aura around the place. *Could it be a clow card?* She decided to hide her aura in case this thing was after her.
At the end of the ride, Sakura asked Kero, "Did you feel a strange presence Kero?"
"Hm? No. But I feel the presense of cotton candy."
"Argh! I meant something magical!" Sakura grumbled.
Kero scratched his head. "No, I guess I wasn't paying attention. Or maybe the rollar coaster just messed with your head Sakura."
"Guess so..."
"Can we please get some cotton candy?!"
Tomoyo nodded and bought three sticks/cones of cotton candy.
"You're the best Tomoyo!" Kero said while diving into his cloud of cotton candy.
"Hey look over there!" Tomoyo pointed to a crowd that was gathering a game booth.
Sakura shrugged, "Let's go see." *I feel something alright...*
"Mister, are you going to play again?" Ask the person who was working in that booth. He seemed relunctant to let the boy play another round.
The boy with messy brown hair gave him a quarter and started shooting at the balloons. He didn't miss one, and everyone clapped. Soon he had a pile of stuff animals and he started to walk away.
"Wow, he's good!" Tomoyo gasped in awe.
*Hm...* Sakura went up to the boy. "Excuse me..?"
The boy turned around and shot her a glare. "What?"
"What are you going to do with all that?!"
"None of your business," He gave her another cold icy glare and Sakura decided to go back to Tomoyo.
"Kero, I feel magic from him," Sakura asid worridly.
Kero nodded, "I do to..."
"Who could he be?"
Sakura took off for school no her rollar blades, and the sun shining brightly through the leaves of the trees lining the side walks. As she turned the corner, she felt that aura again. *It's that guy....what's he doing around my school?* She went into the school, and saw students in the hall talking, or taking their belongings out of their lockers.
Sakura hurried to homeroom and took her seat. Tomoyo smiled at her, "You're not late for once!"
"Tee hee!" Sakura smiled, and the class quieted down as Mr.Terada stepped in.
"Ohayo class! Please take your seats quickly." He paused and waited for everyone to sit. "We have a new transfer student from Hong Kong today. Please give Syaoran Li a warm welcome!"
A boy with messy brown hair and amber eyes stepped into the classroom. He was glaring at everyone, so everyone stayed dead silent.
"Um...please take your seat behind Miss. Kinomoto over there."
Syaoran took his seat. While he passed Sakura, he paused for a second. *Did I just sense something from her?* He took his seat quickly.
Sakura couldn't concentrate. *Argh! Mr.Terada had to put him in the seat beside me didn't he?!*
Much to Sakura's relief, the lunch bell rang and Sakura pratically ran out of the classroom. But much to her dismay, Syaoran kept a close distant behind her while she took her seat in the lunchroom. Tomoyo eyed her friend. "What's wrong Sakura? You're acting awfully jumpy."
"Nothing's wrong!" Sakura waved her hands in protest with a huge sweatdrop.
Sakura gobbled down her lunch. "I need to go to the washroom. See ya Tomoyo-chan!" She got up from her seat and went up to the roof to think.
"What are you doing up here?"
Sakura turned around and saw Syaoran. "..I...er...what are you doing up here?!"
Syaoran shot the girl a cold glare like usual. "None of your business Kinomoto."
Sakura frowned at how cold he was being. "Stop it with the glaring!"
"I know you're different Kinomoto." He stated plainly.
"Nani (what)?"
"You're not some ordinary fifteen year old. I can sense it." He said, still glaring at her.
Sakura stood up from her sitting position. "What do you mean?"
"Do you know about the clow cards?"
"What cards?" She lied. *I knew he was up to something!*
Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Stop lieing and hand them over! Your death will be less painful if you coperate!"
"I have no idea what your talking about! Are you crazy?!" Sakura acted.
*Hmm...do I really have the wrong person?* Sayaoran paused for a moment. *Hmm...maybe a fight will do the trick...* Syaoran pulled out his sword.
Sakura's eyes widened. "What's...what's that!"
"It's a sword baka!" He charged at her.
*No, I can't summon my wand! Then he'll know I have magic of some sort!* Sakura rolled out of the way. "What are you doing Li-kun?!"
"I'm trying to get the cards!" He grunted, almost missing Sakura by a strand of hair.
"SAKURA-CHAN!!!!!"
Syaoran stopped, and they both looked towards the source of the voice. Tomoyo was at the bottom staring up at the two on the roof.
"Are you alright?!"
Sakura nodded.
"WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO DO?! KILL MY FRIEND?!" Tomoyo screamed.
Syaoran grunted again and shot Sakura a cold glare. "Hmpth, if I see something unusual from you, you'll get it Kinomoto." And he lept off the roof.
Soon after Sakura jumped off the roof and joined her frightened friends.
"He was trying to get the cards Tomoyo-chan!"
Tomoyo frowned, "But you don't even have them all yet!"
"Yet." Sakura reminded.
"You have to be careful ok Sakura?"
Sakura nodded, "I will. But I won't
give him my cards!"
