Chapter 1: "New cards, New adventures"
After capturing the Void card and confessing both their feelings, a boy with messy brown hair and amber eyes named Li Syaoran is going back to Hong Kong, China by the order of his mother, Li Yelan.
At the airport
"Don't worry. I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Promise?" an auburn-haired girl with emerald green eyes said in reply, putting out her right pinky finger. This girl happened to be Kinomoto Sakura.
"I promise." Said Li who is also holding out his pinky.
"Then, I'll be waiting for you, Syaoran-kun." Syaoran grinned at Sakura in reply.
Syaoran then boarded his plane to Hong Kong with thoughts of Sakura in his mind. He sat beside the window. He looked at the fading figure of Tomoeda airport as the plane took flight. 'I guess I won't be here for some time. I just hope that I get back in time for Sakura.' And with this, he let out a sigh.
At Hong Kong airport
"Flight HKT 794 will be arriving in 5 minutes time. Relatives waiting for their loved ones who are in this flight may now wait at the 'Arrivals Area'."
"Let's go, girls," a woman named Li Yelan said to her 4 daughters.
"Coming!" the 4 girls said in chorus as they went after their mother.
"Flight HKT 794 has landed"
Li Syaoran went down the plane and went to get his baggage. After that, he proceeded to the Arrivals Area looking for his mother and sisters.
"Xiaolang! Over here!" came a couple of female voices that Syaoran knew so well for he turned to where the voices came from. It was his mother and his sisters.
"Let's go now." Yelan said.
It was nighttime when they arrived at the Li Clan Mansion.
"I guess you're tired already. You should get some rest. We'll discuss your ahem wedding first thing tomorrow morning." Yelan continued as they approached the giant front doors of the mansion.
"But I don't want to! And besides, you'd probably set me up again with another girl!" Syaoran shouted, trying to argue back at his mother.
"But you're the future leader of our clan! You know you must marry some girl in due time! And you should watch your mouth, Xiaolang!" Yelan said with fury clearly seen in her voice.
Syaoran wanted to argue back, but decided not to. Yelan proceeded to the front door.
"Oh, and by the way, I WILL NOT set you up with someone else anymore. I already know that you like that Kinomoto Sakura. And if you don't love her, I will let you choose until you're 20. If you haven't chosen someone by that time, then will be the time I will force you with someone. But until then, I'll let you marry for love." Yelan said emphasizing WILL NOT with a hint of calmness in her voice.
Syaoran blushed at the thought and mention of Sakura's name. He didn't think that his mother would let him off this easily.
The door opened and Meiling suddenly jumped at Syaoran knocking him off his thoughts.
"Hi 'cuz! Long time no see!" Meiling greeted him.
"Hello...Meiling..."Syaoran trailed off gasping for air as Meiling suffocated him with her tight hug.
"Uhh...Meiling...could...you...just...let...go?" Syaoran managed to say.
"Oops...eheheh...Gomen nasai!" Meiling apologized. Syaoran took a deep breath.
"You should try to lose some weight."
"And why is that so?" Meiling asked playfully.
It's because you're already getting heavier by the day." Syaoran tried to hold back a laugh coming through.
"Not funny, Xiaolang!" Remembering that Yelan was still there, Meiling bowed and greeted her. "Konbanwa."
"Konbanwa, Meiling. Could you call our maids to help Xiaolang here with his luggage to bring to his room?"
"Hai!" Meiling answered, turning to the brightly lit living room and began shouting,
"Miysu, Tienwey, Zixiao! Come here quickly!"
3 maids came and helped then in. Syaoran went to his room. Not long after, he instantly slept, dreaming of Sakura.
Meanwhile, in another mansion, in another street in Hong Kong
A girl around Syaoran's age was standing atop the Tokyo tower. She had long, beautiful golden brown hair that flows like a river and a pair of gorgeous chocolate brown eyes. A pair of eyes rarely seen in any part of the world. She is wearing a red and white chiongsan with matching red slippers that looked like Syaoran's. One that she usually wears for she belongs in a wealthy clan. She was holding a baton of red and white.
Standing...uhh...floating beside her was a small, white animal that looks a lot like a stuffed toy. It looks a lot like Cerberus (Keroberos/Kero), except that he is white. Pure white with orange eyes and red wings.
It began showering cards. It seemed like the Clow Cards that Sakura caught. But it's different.
The girl and the small animal beside her jumped from the top of the building. The cards turned to rose petals. Then came a sound. Sounds like a ringing bell.
"Ooeee!" shouted the girl, holding her alarm clock. "Oh, it's just a dream. Another one of those dreams. Could it have a meaning?" she wondered, looking at the time. "Ooeee! It's already 7:20 in the morning! I'm going to be late for breakfast!" With that, she ran towards her bathroom, her walk-in closet and began to get dressed in her school uniform.
A head popped in. "Is there a problem, young miss?"
"Hmh? Uh, no." She replied holding her hair as she tried to tie it into two ponytails.
"Very well. Breakfast will be on the table in 5 min. Your parents are waiting for you at the dining hall." The maid said as she went down.
The girl with long, golden brown hair and chocolate brown eyes went down to join her parents in eating breakfast.
That afternoon, after school
The girl with her best friend, a girl with long blue hair and violet eyes named Zaimeta Jumi surname first, right? were walking on the roads of Hong Kong, going home.
"You know, Jumi-chan, I have these weird dreams lately. As if I'm in Tokyo, Japan or something."
"I know, Yuri-chan. You've told me about it all morning."
Kazekiuchi Yuri blushed. "Oops...sorry about that. That's all in my mind today. I don't know why, but I feel like it's telling me something. Like something's about to happen."
"Is that so?" Jumi asked.
Yuri and Jumi passed by the Li Clan Mansion.
"You know, in one of my dreams, it told me that in this mansion lived a descendant of Clow Reed. You know, the one who created the famous Clow Cards. But I doubt it."
"Really now, Yuri-chan, I think you're going a bit too far now with what you just said." Jumi stated, giggling.
Yuri stopped and also started giggling.
At the Kazekiuchi Mansion
The 2 girls arrived. They proceeded to the mansion library to do some research assigned to them. Yuri went past a book named "Life". Curious, she took and magically opened the lock it has without even noticing what she had done. There, she found cards. She took out the card at the top. She called Jumi.
"Jumi-chan, look at this. Isn't this like the famous Clow Cards?"
"It looks like, but it's impossible! The Clow Cards were caught!"
"I know. Demo, I guess this is a different set. Look! I don't remember any 'wing card' in the cards created by Clow.
"I guess so."
Yuri called out the first card without knowing it. "The...Wing."
Unexpectedly, a big gust of wind as felt by the two girls. Most of the cards flew out. The books in the library fell off the shelves.
"What's happening, Yuri-chan?" Jumi called out.
"I don't know!" Answered Yuri.
Soon, everything came to a stop. Yuri looked at the book of cards. Everything except 2 cards was gone. The 2 remaining cards are called 'The Wing' and 'The Life'.
"What will I do now?" tears started to form on Yuri's eyes.
"Don't worry, Yuri-chan. We'll be able to find it...somehow."
Suddenly, the book started glowing. Something is coming out from it! Afraid, the 2 girls stared at it, slowly moving away from the book.
"Thank you ever so much for waking me up!" a small voice said.

Author's Note
Who's this Yuri and Jumi? From whom (or what) did the voice come from? Will Syaoran come back to Tomoeda? Will Yuri be able to find the so-called 'cards'?
Names here are on Japanese order. Surname is placed before the first name. Example: When I say Kazekiuchi Yuri, the American order for this is Yuri Kazekiuchi.
