Ueno Park:

"Well? I know you're here! Come out, Clow card!" Li yelled, pulling out his sword and pointing it at the tree. There was definitely magic around this tree. Powerful magic.
Hmmph. He'd show Sakura yet. He'd gather all the cards and...
"*What* are you doing?" a bemused voice said.
Li nearly dropped his sword. He turned around to see an extraordinarily handsome, tall, and broad-shouldered man smoking a cigarette, staring at him through one dark eye.
~Ohmigod...I must look so...~
"I-I-I....!" he said, having no idea what to say as the man looked over him with a raised eyebrow. Li felt a blush rise over his cheeks, and couldn't stop it. "I-I-I...!" he tried again. He put his sword up, nearly impaling himself on it, and took off running as fast as he could.
From the shadows of the Sakura tree, the Sakurazukamori chuckled.
