AUTHOR NOTE'S I don't own CardCaptor Sakura
What kind of question was that? "Yes, we are from the Li clan Kerberos, we were almost had the book too if the loser girl hadn't gotten it first" the girl said with anger in her voice.
"DON'T CALL ANYONE IN MY FAMILY A LOSER" I said with angry. These people are getting on my nerves.
"Well, you can just leave right now before I get angry and trust me, you won't like me when I'm angry" Kero said with the air of knowing something I didn't. They looked at each other then back at me and Kero "Fine we leave for now, but we will be back." the girl promised before angrily shutting the door.
"Well that was weird, right?" I said looking at Kero while he finished all of the sweets I gave him. "Not really, I'll explain more when we get home, later." Kero said with unease apparent in his voice. As we headed toward home, I couldn't put my finger on it, but something wrong and only Kero knew what it is.
TIME SKIPS
As Matthew, Logan, Lilly and I got settled on my bed, getting ready to listen to Kero and his information for us on the weird encounter today. We hear mom finally go to bed and Kero begins to talk. "Alright, I know there was card activity today, so before we get into the incident at the shop, who captured the cards." I knew he would ask that.
"Ok, I captured The Voice card. It was just as lunch started, didn't you sense it?" Matthew asked. "Nope, I didn't feel anything at that time" I said. "Anyway it kept singing something in Japanese though" Matthew said looking at the strange card.
"I captured The Sleep card in my math class" Lilly said while looking all happy and proud then worried. "But I was also noticed, there were two people watching me from the hallway." We waited as Kero made sense of the new info before making any decision.
"Alright, we still need to talk about what happen at the shop today. But you need to know why they have come to your country." Kero have some idea who this Li clan is and realised that we now needed the information.
"I will start from the beginning. During the middle of the 15th century, my dear friend, creator of the cards, the book, and me, was born. His name was Clow Reed. His magic was something the world had yet to see. It's because of his connection to both the sun and the moon that he was incredibly powerful. Clow Reed had an English father and a Chinese mother. This parentage allowed his magic to be more powerful than most others at that time. He created the cards under the powers of the sun and moon. Each card from his time fall under one of the jurisdictions, either sun or moon. One day, when he understood he was dying he made a sucessor within the last person to hold the cards."
Each of us soaked up each but of new knowledge of the cards creator; it still left a sense of unease within me so I asked "What does any of this have to with what happened at the shop?" Kero was a little bit mad at my questioning and insistence, but he also understood that I wanted to know why they were demanding the cards.
"I am about to get to it. Clow Reed's mother was part of the Li clan. Even with the last mistress and now, they still want those cards." Kero sigh while continue "As long as we work hard to capture each card before they have a chance to get one, we'll be okay". I know Kero is hiding something but right now, most of my questions have been answered.
My body started to feel something. "There a card out on the loose right now, we need to go Cardcaptors" Kero said with excitement. Lilly, Matthew and Logan looked at me for a response.
"Let's go, we need to beat those crazy, Li clan twerps" I spoke before we saw them outside the house from the window.
"Is that them?" Lilly asked as we looked at them.
"Kero, what is that compass they are using?" Logan asked
"It called a Lasin Board and yes, it's them" Kero said look annoyed.
"I knew there was more than one of them. I didn't expect to see four." The girl said looking mad.
"But it would explain a few night ago where a bunch of cards activated and capture within 2 hours. No one person could do that" the boy explained.
Lilly, Matthew and Logan look like ready to fight agenst the Li clan twerps. "This is getting us nowhere fast, let's ignore them and look for the card" I said trying to pull my siblings away from them.
"He right, for ounce. We need to find the card" the boy said look quite happy at me.
We started to look for the card; I notice a cat seemingly trapped in a loop as it began running around in circles. "Wait, what up with this cat?" I ask Kero.
"Oh no" Kero said looking scared at the cat.
"What wrong Kero?" Lilly asked.
"It the Loop card" Kero explain then continue "and were stuck in its pull now."
"So how do we defeat it?" Logan asked.
"Well you make it appear and cut it with The Sword card" Kero said.
"How do we do that?" Logan asked.
"Look there, the idots are asking the guardian on how to capture the weak Loop card. It's funny right 卡雷布[1]" the girl asked.
"Your slightly right 丽奈特[2], they only asking for help because they don't have any idea what they're doing" the boy explains.
"What's that on the cat paws?" Lily asked. We looked closer on the cat front paw to see the loop card on it cutting into its skin.
"Oh my, Matthew go into the house and get a pair of scissors" Lilly demanded of Matthew. Lilly has the biggest soft spot for animals of anyone I have ever seen. Matthew runs back outside with the scissors not wanting to be on Lilly's bad side. He hands Lilly the scissors and tried to cut the rope. But Lilly couldn't cut it.
"Kero, is this the loop card on the cat paw?" Lilly asked.
"Yep that Loop is on this poor little kitten" Kero said look sadden at the cat. The Li clan twerps were looking on the other side of our neighbour's fence looking for the car.
"Sword, lend me your strength, Sword" Matthew said summoning the sword card. Matthew lowers himself onto the ground and used the sword card through it. It was hard but Matthew got The Loop card off of the cat. The cat was purring on Lilly after it was off. Logan brought his staff out and said "Loop card, return to your power confined, Loop card" as it returns to it card form it floats in front of Matthew and Lilly.
Lilly picked up The Loop and gives it to Logan. We then see, coming out of our neighbor's backyard are the Li twerps appearing annoyed. The four of us laughed at them and their stupidity. As we head inside, I can't help but feel happy about us each having two captures under each of our belts. I just wonder what their names are?
