After everyone left the meeting room, Mr. Kobayashi started talking. "Sakura, since you know met Mr. Li already; I assume you know he has magic?" Sakura nodded. "Well, since you know each other quite a bit, I will move the beginning of the mission a week earlier, which is tomorrow." Sakura and Syaoran were both wearing blank faces. "You both will be able to choose one person to go along with you on this mission. Sakura I assume you will choose Tomoyo, and Syaoran you will choose Eriol, ne?" Both of them nodded. "Well, that's about it. Please get ready for the plane flight at three A.M. tomorrow morning. You will be taking a private jet. We have lots of leftover money from the last few missions. That way, you can still buy some things you need in China." Syaoran and Sakura both nodded and made their way to the door. They were about to leave until Mr. Kobayashi's voice interrupted them. "You will also be an engaged couple."

Before Sakura and Syaoran could stop themselves, they both let their emotions out. Both their faces were filled with disbelief. They had to be an engaged couple? How? They both weren't interested in each other. They heard Mr. Kobayashi voice again. "Oh yeah… um…when you are in high-school, please do not put any disguises on. You will also be going under cover as new business partners of Huang Yuan Hue. Then, you'll need disguises for that. Please remember to change your hair color, accent, and eyes. For the clothes, I am sure Daidoji would be happy to assist. Please also tell your back-up partners, Hiiragizawa and Daidoji, that they would be an engaged couple as well. I already took care of your absences at school. Good-bye." Mr. Kobayashi left Sakura and Syaoran alone in the room. They both looked at each other. Sakura could hear Syaoran's thoughts. "This is going to be a long mission….."

After realizing they were both looking at each other for more than twenty minutes, they both quickly put on emotionless faces and left the room. Sakura waited for Syaoran to leave and teleported to Tomoyo's house. Sakura knocked pressed the doorbell near the intercom.

She heard Tomoyo ask, "Who is it?" Sakura replied, "Sakura, you dummy. Don't you have video cameras all over your house?" "Oh yeah, I forgot. Heh heh……." Sakura just sweat dropped as the front door was opened by Tomoyo. Sakura quickly ran in and upstairs to Tomoyo's room. Tomoyo followed right behind Sakura. Tomoyo asked, "Sakura, what's the rush?" "What's the rush? The rush is that there is a new mission tomorrow. We have to be at the Tokyo Airport by 2 A.M. The flight is at three." Sakura took a few quickened breaths. "Guess who is going to be my partner? Syaoran Li! Ha, isn't that a coincidence. And you know what's even better? We are engaged!" said Sakura sarcastically. Tomoyo face brightened. "I'm going on this mission with you?" "No duh, now start packing while I finish the rest of the information." Tomoyo began taking out suitcases and putting in the things she needed. Sakura watched her and was about to begin when Tomoyo took out her case for making clothes. Sakura gulped. This was not a good sign.

After Sakura calmed down, she began with the mission details. "As you know, LI and I are going to be engaged. So are you and Li's back-up partner. Guess who it is? It's Eriol-san!!" Tomoyo blushed and Sakura smirked. "Anyway, the mission is about finding the person behind the assassinations in Hong Kong. CIA believes the person hiring assassins is some business man who wants to become filthy rich. His name is Huang something. Our task is to get close to his son, Hajime. Anyway, Li, you, Eriol, and I would be going to the same high school. We will all have the same schedule. Meanwhile, Li and I would also be the Hajime's father new business partner. So, that's about it." Sakura looked down and saw Tomoyo finished packing. Sakura gulped. Tomoyo had packed at least fifteen bags. Tomoyo looked around her. "Is this too less? I wanted to bring more, but I didn't feel like it." Sakura sweat dropped and summoned her powers from inside of her. She called out the Little Card and shrunk the suitcases down to pocket size. The Little Card returned back into Sakura's body.

Sakura smiled in satisfaction and told Tomoyo to get a bag and put the suitcases inside it. After Tomoyo finished tucking the bag inside her jeans, Sakura took her hand and teleported them into Sakura's room.

After Sakura and Tomoyo opened their eyes, they were at their destination. Sakura summoned some power and used magic to pack her suitcases and miniaturized them. Sakura quickly tucked Kero into her jacket pocket. Kero was already sleeping. Sakura turned around and told Tomoyo to follow her downstairs. Sakura ran downstairs and found Touya in the dining room. Touya looked at her shocked and asked, "How the heck did you get in here without making a noise?" " Baka, I teleported into here." "Oh." Sakura rolled her eyes and quickly explained her mission to Touya. Sakura promised she would call as soon as she was in Hong Kong. Touya nodded and said, "I'll miss you kaijuu." Sakura smiled and refrained from stomping on Touya's foot. They won't see each other for a long time. Sakura nodded and hugged Touya.

Sakura and Tomoyo walked out onto the porch. Sakura was about to call Syaoran and Eriol, but decided to pay them a surprise visit. Sakura closed her eyes and found their auras. Sakura grabbed Tomoyo's hand and teleported to their location. Sakura opened their eyes and found themselves looking at two half naked hot-looking guys. They had their shirts off. Tomoyo blushed and Sakura quickly said, "Gomen!" and walked out. Once they walked out the door, Eriol and Syaoran quickly pulled on their shirts and followed the girls. They saw Tomoyo blushing ten shades of red and Sakura with another emotionless face. Sakura saw them and said, "We need to get to the airport. It's 2 AM already. Did you guys pack yet? Did you get your identification cards?" Syaoran and Eriol nodded. "Well, let's go! We're going to be late!" Before the two male teenagers could say another word, Sakura had taken their hands along with Tomoyo's and teleported right to their flight gate.

Sakura looked over everyone's faces. Tomoyo was looking down at her hand, which was holding Eriol's. She saw Tomoyo move her gaze to her hand. Sakura looked down at her hand and found Syaoran's hand it in. Sakura pulled out her hand and looked down at her watch.

Airport (Sakura POV)

I looked down at my watch. We were going to be late for our flight! We quickly rushed to the CIA gate. It looked like just any other gate, except you had to swipe your identification card in this machine and there was very tight security. After we got onto our plane, we all gaped at the plane. It was very luxurious. It had huge windows with gold and red drapes. We had our own sofas and T.V. channels. We all had our favorite food and snacks in little freezers and we had king sized beds to sleep in. I looked around and found Tomoyo and Eriol fast asleep. I saw Syaoran open his refrigerator and I saw stacks and rows of chocolate bars. So, he likes chocolate, huh? I flipped through the channels and found a map of the plane. I saw there was a workout gym. Cool. I could practice later. I set my watch to wake me up at 6 AM. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I woke to my watch's alarm clock. It took me a while to take in my surroundings. My eyes first fell on Li's face. It seemed so peaceful. He looks so cute…..Ah!! Sakura you can't have any emotions. You have to remain emotionless. But he's your friend. Yeah, he's just a friend. He has to remain a friend. But what if I fall for him? Just do what your heart tells you to. I feel so dumb, arguing with myself. I heard the rustling of plastic coming from Syaoran's refrigerator. I frowned. What was it? I slowly opened the door and found an overstuffed Kero and all of Syaoran's chocolate gone. I gasped really loud. I heard a moan beside me. I turned around and saw Li's eyes flutter open. His eyes first landed on me, then Kero, and finally, his finished chocolate bars. I counted the seconds. Ichi, Ni, San…… I heard Syaoran say, "Who the hell at all my chocolate bars?" I heard the Kero say, "Oh, those were yours? Well, they were good." I closed my eyes and heard those two bicker.

"How dare you eat my chocolate?"

"Hey, I apologized!"

"How can a stuffed animal like you have such a huge appetite?"

"I don't know gaki. Besides, I am not a stuffed animal!"

"Yes you are."

"This is my cute form. You wanna see my real form?" growled Kero.

"Fine, whatever."

Kero summoned some powers from me and changed into his real form. There was a blinding yellow light which awoke Eriol and Tomoyo. Kero looked very majestic and stern.

"Well?"

"Well, you look like a circus lion with wings glued onto his back."

"How dare you insult me, Kerberos, ex-guardian of the Clow Cards? Wait….I fell Clow Reed's aura in here!"

I saw Kero look around expecting to see Clow Reed, but saw a blue haired boy and a purple haired girl. I heard Kero ask Eriol, "How do you have Clow Reed's aura? You are just a teenage boy." I listened to Eriol's response and I wanted to laugh. "Well, Kerberos, long time no see. How long has it been? A few centuries maybe? And as for your question, I am the half-reincarnation of Clow Reed." "Oh, Ok!" Kero returned to his cute form and started rummaging through everyone's refrigerators. I heard the intercom say, "Please fasten your seatbelts. We are arriving in Hong Kong. Please fasten your seatbelts." I sighed. I guess I'll have to workout later.

As the flight descended, I asked Li about the engagement rings and where we were going to live. His reply was. "We will be living in the Li mansion. I think you know I am the future leader of the Li clan." I nodded. "Anyway, here are the engagement rings." Li handed me three small boxes. Each one had our names on top. I opened mine first and saw it had three small diamonds and the band was a mix of pink and green. I loved it at first sight. I opened the other boxes. Tomoyo and Eriol's engagement rings also had three diamonds, but their band was purple and blue. I handed them over and I cracked a small smile at Tomoyo's beaming face. Before I could stop myself, I asked Li the most stupid question. "Can I call you Syaoran?"
