Disclaimer – I don't own CardCaptors, but the names of the children are my own idea ;D

A/N – I'm loving thinking of new ways that our new Cardcaptor could capture the star cards, I'm enjoying writing this story a lot, enjoy!

Chapter 11

Rei sat on her bed looking at the cards she had captured.

The Freeze, Dash, Rain, Firey, Sand, Glow, Erase and now, the Song.

"What are you thinking Rei?" Leo asked.

"I'm just wondering what the next card will be. Do you know?"

"There's no way of telling which one it will be."

"I'm excited, but a little apprehensive. I mean, it might be a really strong card." Rei put all the cards in her school bag and shot out the door after Danny and Mika. "Hey guys. Are we going to meet Tai and Joe?"

"Like we always do." Mika smiled.

At school, Danny and Rei spent the day - bored as usual - listening to their teachers drone on, and on. It wasn't long before the end of the day when Rei went to collect some work in the art workshop.

"My rucksack," she moaned, exasperated as she remembered that she had left her school bag in her classroom. She wandered back through the empty corridors to the deserted classroom, which wasn't really empty; Danny who waited silently on his desk for Rei.

"They've all left. You were taking way too long," he taunted his twin.

Rei went to pick up her rucksack, but it was open. "Who has been in my bag?" Rei demanded, putting her art stuff on Ami's desk. "Danny?"

"No one has been near your bag, Rei!" protested Danny.

"Well someone has!" Rei shook the open bag in his face.

"Trust me Rei. No one touched it since you left to go to the art workshop."

"Danny, oh this is bad. This is so, so bad." Rei began to panic – a lot – desperately searching for the star cards.

"Why is it so bad?"

"The star cards were in there, Danny! All eight of the cards I had captured were in there. What if someone finds them? What if someone knows how to use them? It could end dangerously."

"Have they even been taken from your bag, Rei? That's so irresponsible of you." Danny tilted his head to one side.

"Oh," Rei let out a squeak. "Oh, hang on." She rifled around the bag and pulled out a small wad of the star cards. "Phew." She held the cards close to her chest. "That was a huge scare."

"Check they are all there Rei," Danny demanded eagerly, clearly not sure what to think of the situation.

"The Dash, the Glow, the Sand, the Erase, the Firey, the Rain, the Song. The Freeze, and, the Shot card." Rei screwed up her face. "I don't remember catching. Oh my gosh-"

There was now a tall individual with a yellow streak through their 'hair' standing in front of her, staring at Danny.

"Rei?" Danny yelped. Slowly stepping backwards he knocked over a desk. The being in front of the twins lunged across the classroom towards Danny who scrambled under another desk. "Do something Rei!" He shouted.

"What if something sees?" Rei squeaked dashing towards the being. "It's the Shot card Danny." At the sound of its name the Shot card grabbed Danny's leg, pulling him out from under the desk. Holding Danny's leg the Shot threw him against the wall. "Hey!" Rei pulled at the Shot's arm but it pushed her back against another desk with great force. "That's it! I've had it." She yelled as the Shot jumped back over the desks towards Danny, who dove under the desks knocking them into the Shot's path.

"Rei!" A bright light shot out towards Danny.

"Move Danny." Rei pulled out the star key. "O key of the star with powers burning bright, reveal the staff and shine your light. Release." Rei held one star card in her hand. "Erase card, remove Danny from existence." The Erase card waved their wand slowly from side to side.

"Rei! That is not what I meant!" Danny looked petrified as he faded away. "Rei!"

The Shot card hit the wall following the light and where Danny had been, a small crack formed in the wall. "Shot card, I command you to return to your power confined, Shot card." Both Shot and Erase returned to their card forms. Danny reappeared where he stood before.

"Rei! Don't ever do that again! The Erase card is dangerous." Danny squeaked.

"Let's go home Danny, I need to talk to Leo. I think I might have to start allowing him to come to school with us."

"Are you sure that's wise?"

"I don't have a choice. Do you want more dangerous cards to appear out of nowhere like that? Do you?"

"Well I suppose when you put it like that, I agree completely."

Danny and Rei spent a while tidying the classroom before skating home, and the newly appointed cardcaptor made sure to sign the card.

"Where have you two been?" Mika stood at the bottom of the stairs by the door when the pair stepped inside.

"I had to pick up some art stuff for my homework assignment," Rei replied.

"Right, I waited for you with Tai, but we got bored of waiting and we carried on home."

"Okay well, I'm doing to do my art assignment now." Rei went to go in the living room.

"What is this?" Mika pointed at the Shot card on the floor. The twins froze.

"It's a playing card, they're the new thing," Danny reacted quickly.

"Oh, that's cool." Mika handed the card to Danny.

Danny took the card in his hand and froze, exchanging a petrified look with his twin sister that said, we nearly got busted there.

Thoughts from AspiringWriterGirl = I wondered about having a different way of capturing the Shot card and pre-planned the Erase doing its work – I felt like this card didn't get much of the limelight!
