Well, here goes nothing. This is an old story I made some minor changes to, but I hope you like it anyway. Even though I wrote it in like, fourth grade. :)

CHAPTER ONE: RETURN

Sakura looked at the card she held in her hand. The fancy script at the bottom read, 'The Soft'. She knew it had been created to make things abnormally soft, because it had made the ground under her feet as soft as dough while she was fighting it.

Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she turned to face Syaoran Li and showed him the card.

Syaoran nodded. "Now we need 'The Hard'."

Sakura agreed and put the new card in the pouch that held the Clow Cards. The Syaoran pointed to something coming toward them. Two figures walking quickly toward them. As the figures drew closer, Sakura was able to see who they were. One was a girl. Meilin, Syaoran's cousin. The other was a boy named Eriol, Clow reincarnated.

As soon as they were close enough, Meilin tackled Syaoran. Syaoran pulled away, and there was an awkward silence until Sakura spoke.

"So…… What brings you two back to Tomoeda?"

"Well," Eriol said, "I just wanted to visit, and enjoy the…. Scenery."

He glanced meaningfully at Sakura as he said 'scenery', and she blushed. Syaoran, noticing her blush, began to get the angry feeling he always felt when someone hinted that they liked Sakura. It didn't make sense, because he didn't like her, right?

"Well," Syaoran said acidly, "You came and you saw. You can leave now."

There was a silence, then Syaoran spoke up, "Why are you here, Meilin?"

"To see you of course, Syaoran!"

Sakura's eyes narrowed. Couldn't Meilin just realize Syaoran didn't like her? Wait, why did she, Sakura, care anyway? It wasn't as if she liked Syaoran. Right?

"Oh, good for you."

Why was she so mad? She didn't care if Meilin liked Syaoran, because she didn't like him. Sakura knew that to the others, she sounded upset, but she couldn't help it. Meilin raised her eyebrows, then shrugged.

"Yeah, it is pretty good for me, so I'm not letting him out of my sight."

Sakura frowned. "Of course not." She said dryly. "Well, I better go, I'm… late."

"For what?" Meilin asked curiously.

"None of your business." Sakura said before she turned and left, leaving her icy tone hanging behind her.

Syaoran paused. "I'm going to head home."

He walked off following Sakura. Meilin was confused.

"But Syaoran, you don't live that way!"

Syaoran ignored her and kept walking.

"Syaoran, wait!" Soon he was out of sight and Meilin sighed. "I can see how this vacation is going to turn out…."
