Sonomi looked out her window in a dreading expression. "Where could she be. Its 8:00 in the morning." she said. "Maybe she's at Sakura's house." she suggested.
She walked out her living room into the dining room. "Maybe I should call the cops."
(For all of you who don't recognize Sonomi, she's Tomoyo's mother)
Sakura knocked onto Syaoran's door. Tomoyo was behind her panting. "Are you sure Li's here?"
"He just got to be," said Sakura. "And Kero." Sakura banged against the door again. The door flew open. It was Wai. "Aren't you Sakura?" he asked.
"Yes, is Li here? This is an emergency," she said. Wai smiled and then shook his head. "I'm afraid not. I thought he was staying the night with one of his friends."
"Well he's not," said Tomoyo. Then Tomoyo's eyes grew wide. She spotted Kero stiffly sitting on the floor. "Sakura look its Kero."
"Kero?" said Sakura pushing through Wai into the house. She picked up Kero off the floor and hugged him. "I thought I'll never see you again."
"Police are searching for four missing teenagers throughout the city and in small town areas," said the reporter on the TV.
"Their names are Sakura Kinomoto." A photograph of her showed up on the screen. "Syaoran Li." Picture of him appeared. "Meilin Li." Picture of her. "And Tomoyo Daidoji." Her picture showed on the screen.
"These four teens have been reported missing from family members and are investigators are searching frantically for clues. Back to you Carson."
Toya was riding his bike around the neighborhood with Yukito.
"Sure, she's not just spending the night over her friends house?" he asked.
"No Sakura wouldn't just stay the night over someone's house without telling Me." said Toya.
"Oh, well she could be at school. Its pasted 8:00." suggested Yuki.
"Good Idea. Let's check the school," said Toya speeding up.
Well Kero explained the events on the happenings of the situation with Syaoran under the spell of Dream, Think and Heartbreak.
"So where did he go?" asked Sakura. They were near lover's leap pool, in the park.
"I don't know. He sort of ran off." Said Kero.
"Ugh this is getting ridiculous." Moaned Sakura.
"You tell me." Said Tomoyo.
"We have to look for him." Said Sakura. "He could be in danger."
"Him? Why you worrying about Li for? He's not the one being forced to love Kami?" said Kero.
"But he's the one who's going to get killed if we don't do something! Kami said so himself. He hates Li. He had always been jealous of him. And he has Meilin trapped in there. We have to go back and fight. So after we find Li, we are going to battle if it means life or death! No ifs ands or buts. Are you two with me or not?"
Tomoyo hesitated and finally said, "Yes I'm with you." Sakura turned to Kero. He rolled his eyes. "Yeah." He sighed.
Sakura raised her fists. "Good!" She took out her Fly card. She raised her wond. "Fly!" she called. The wings formed on the wond. Tomoyo hopped on.
"Excellent. Sakura's now in the game." Said Kami looking through his Vision card. "Her and that animal are searching for Syaoran, but they will fail. Once I send out stormy."
Kami revealed the gray dark card. It had raindrops and lighting designed on it.
"Stormy release your powers!" Before Kami can unleash the powers. Meilin shoved Him to the ground weakly.
Kami stood up and slapped her across the face. Meilin fell to the ground holding her cheek.
"Stupid girl, you've got beaten once, and you want another? Your crazy." Meilin had got into a battle with Kami while Sakura and Tomoyo escaped. Kami won the fight, but Meilin was badly beaten.
"As I was saying. Stormy goo."
"Tomoyo have you notice, that there's cop cars on every street." Said Sakura steering her wond in the air. Tomoyo looked down. "Yeah. Do you think are parents are searching for us?"
"Probably. I know my brother is probably freaking out by now." Sakura looked down again and suddenly spotted Syaoran. "Li!" she cried. Her gloomy face turned into a bright, energetic face.
"You found Li, where?" asked Kero.
"He's at my house!" They flew down.
"We had searchers looking for you guys. Where's Sakura and the rest?" asked Fujitaka.
"I was looking for her and the others." Said Syaoran in a gloomy tone. "I can't find them. I'm sorry."
"Its okay as long as you are Sakura's friend. I just hope to find her soon."
"Dad! Li!" called a voice. Syaoran and Fujitaka turned around.
Sakura rushed up to the two but unexpectedly embraced Syaoran in a hug. "I miss you." She said.
Syaoran smiled, "Me too." It's good to have Sakura in my arms again, he thought. He was ready to just lean forward and kiss her on the lips but backed out on it.
Tomoyo smiled who watched on the side. "I wish I had my camera with me." She gushed.
They pulled apart. Sakura turned to her father and hugged him. "I'm sorry I worried you, but I was over at Li's house." She lied.
Fujitaka was startled by that answer. "Y-you were over a boys house?"
Sakura sweat dropped and said quickly, "Um yeah! Nothing happened dad. Li would never do anything uncertain to me. I love, I mean I'm his buddy, yeah that's it!" blurted Sakura.
"Sakura is there something I should know?" asked Fujitaka.
"No dad nothing at all! Isn't that right Li?"
"Um-Um." Syaoran began. Sakura elbowed him.
"Ow, yeah she's right. Whats two 13 yr. Olds gonna do in a room alone together."
Sakura's father eyed him. "A lot of things."
"Oh, come on Mr. Kinomoto. You know Sakura won't do those kinda of things." Said Tomoyo.
"Hope so." He replied. He noticed Sakura's outfit. "Nice custume, where ya get it from? Sakura flushed in embarrassment. Guess I forgot to change, she thought.
He looked up at the sky, which was getting dark and cloudy. The light breeze changed into a rough wind.
"Storm this time a day?" said Fujitaka. "Well you kids better get home. Sakura lets go in."
"Wait! Can I walk Tomoyo home?" asked Sakura eagerly. He turned to his daughter. "For what?"
"Make sure she gets home safely."
"But the storm."
"Don't worry dad. We'll be fine. I'll hurry back." And with that the three ran off down the road. The wind was getting fiercer and raindrops began to fall down from the sky. Rumblings occurred.
After five minutes, it began to pour down rain and bolts of lighting occurred. They reached Tomoyo's house and were soaked.
They ran in the house. "Mother! I'm home!" called Tomoyo wringing out her long black hair. No answer. "I guess she's out looking for me."
Sakura sighed. "Now we found Li, we have to get Meilin."
"You mean she's still at Kami's?" said Syaoran. Tomoyo and Sakura nodded.
"Yeah and Sakura is determined to get your cousin, so don't worry." Said Kero.
Tomoyo clasped her hands. "So how about that kiss Li?"
"What?" said Syaoran.
"The kiss. I mean come on its obvious you wanted to kiss her. You were eager. Come on." Said Tomoyo.
Tomoyo if you don't shut up, thought Syaoran who was blushing at the moment.
Sakura laughed and quickly dragged Tomoyo out the rec room into the kitchen.
"Tomoyo what do you think your doing? I can't kiss Li." Said Sakura lowly.
"But Sakura, you guys are longing for this." Said Tomoyo.
"But Kero's here."
"I'll tell him to leave."
"And what about you and your camera's huh?"
"The camera's?"
"Yeah the cam's. You are so sneaky Tomoyo, but you can't out sneak me."
"Oh sheesh those photos were going to be good."
"Well I'm....
A big rumbling sound blasting outside. That made the two jump. Sakura looked out the kitchen window. "It's a real storm out there."
Kero suddenly flew into the kitchen. "This is not your ordinary storm. It's a Dynasty card."
"Oh great." Said Tomoyo. "More interruptions."
(Dream, think, and heartbreak are in Tomoyo's mansion.) Sakura took out her key from her pocket, but a card fell out of it.
Kero looked down. " Whats that?" Sakura looked down. "Oh, that's the card I found on the side walk. She picked it up. Syaoran came into the kitchen.
"Whats going on?" They all stared at the card. It was purple and black and some angle and demon was on it. It was the Death card.
"The death card." Whispered Kero. Syaoran looked up to Sakura. "Where did you find this?"
"I-I found it."
(Read part 10 to know how she found it. Remember how she ran to get her scrunchies but picked up a card?)
"It was on the ground and I kept it."
"How come you didn't tell me?" asked Syaoran.
"Well we were in a rush."
"This is the most sinister of all Dynasty cards. It's powerful. Good thing you found it Sakura." Said Kero.
"Now you and Li capture that card." Said Tomoyo.
"I should stay here." Said Syaoran.
"Why Li?" asked Sakura.
"Something doesn't seem right in Tomoyo's house. You should sense it Sakura." He said.
Sakura nodded. "But if you do find that strange sense, please come and help me capture the stormy card."
"I will."
Okay Li don't do this, thought Syaoran. He was going to lean over and kiss her.
Sakura was thinking the same thing.
"Are we gonna have to break you guys up." Said Kero annoyed. He notices what was happening.
Tomoyo grabbed Kero and headed into the other room.
"Um, so I'll be seeing ya." Said Sakura. She turned to leave but Syaoran took her hand to stop her. Sakura turned back to Syaoran. "Yes?"
Here it goes, thought Syaoran. He slowly leaned forward to Sakura.
Sakura's heart began to pound. Oh my gosh he's going to kiss me!
Sakura closed her eyes and felt his warm lips on hers.
I'm kissing Sakura; this is so weird, thought Syaoran.
Their temptation's got to them. Syaoran ran his hand through Sakura's hair.
Sakura went deeper in the kiss. She was ready to wrap her arms around him....
"Hey you two!"
Syaoran and Sakura pulled apart quickly and started to act like nothing happened.
Kero folded his arms. "Sakura get out there and capture that card. Li! You go check around here for clues."
The two faces were crimson red.
"Didn't I say, no blushing until the end of the story. Now scram!"
Sakura sighed and smiled at Syaoran who smiled back.
"Promise you'll help me?"
"I promise."
Sakura headed out the door into the storm. Syaoran turned around to face a steaming and annoyed Kero and a dreamy Tomoyo.
"I have it all on tape, don't worry."
Sakura couldn't see through the pouring rain. It was blurring her vision. Her hair was soaked and matted to her face.
An ear crackling noise filled the air. Sakura screamed. "I need a raincoat for this." She said as she sputtered out some rain.
"Release in your spell! Fly!"
PART 13: Sakura battles it off with Stormy while Li, Kero and Kero faces, Heartbreak, hate, think, and Dream. Will they capture those Dynasty cards? And also are phony Sakura is stll in creation.
