III.Khan cards

Sakura and Tomoyo were gaping at him. Sakura was the first to recover, "So I'll capture them with the Sakura cards"
"NO! That's exactly how the Khan cards release them. As long as they are sealed, they are safe from tha Khan's influence. I am hoping that they haven't been released yet, so that I can teach you about them. First; defense cards are okay, such as Jump, Fly, Shield, Big, Sleep, and a few others. The Khan doesn't want those and therefor will not take them. But do NOT use the offensive cards, except for the elements."
"So how do we capture them?" Tomoyo asked
"I'm getting there. The Cards are able to inhabit a person by taking over their mind. Remember how some of the Clow cards could affect everyone around them?"
"Yeah?"
"Well all the Khan cards can do that once they are inside their host. They must be lured out, by a Cardcaptor, namely Sakura or I"
"Will I be able to sense the Khan cards? And what about Tomoyo, can she be affected?"
"Yes, to your first question, and to your second-not if she wears this charm" He handed Tomoyo the amethyst ring he produced.
"Ooh, pretty! Perfect fit." she said putting it on and admiring it. "Safety!"
Li went on,"These cards can sense us, also. If released, they WILL try to harm us, even kill us." Li was his old sober, and frowny self talking about this. "They are skilled liars and cheaters, and will say anything to get their way. Do not, for one moment, believe in anything they say. You are immune to their mind control, but doubts, and disbeliefs work on everyone."
"Are you always gonna tell me that I'm not needed and you can do it by yourself?" Sakura asked, a little afraid that he would say yes.
Without a moments hesitation, he replied,"No. I truly accept and even am glad that we're a team now," he grasped her hand and held them up in front of them,"and forever"
"Good," she said, relieved.
Tomoyo started up her camera without them noticing, in addition to her microcassete recorder she had turned on upon arrival at the park.
"Shaoran? When this is over, will you... will you leave again?" she inquired in a small voice.
Li lifted her chin and kissed away a lone tear running down her cheek."Sakura, I will NEVER leave you again. I swear to it."
"Okay"
Li said in a lighter tone "Hey, guess what?"
"What?"
"I am officially the new leader of the the Li clan. And as such I was granted one wish by the elders. I asked to come back here until graduation. Then I asked permission to do something else."
"What was that?"
"I asked if, after graduating, and if you agreed of course, I could bring you back to China and marry you. They agreed. Do you agree?"
Sakura was ecstatic,"YES! As long as I can visit my family and friends, and they can visit me"
"They will"
"Then YES YES YES YES YES!" She vaulted into his arms and kissed him all over his face. "So are we engaged now?"
He grinned, "Yup,"
"Ooooh! I have an idea. Why don't you both come over to my house for dinner tonight? It will be a blast! I'm sure Kero would love to see you again."
"What about your brother?" he asked wearily. They had never liked each other that well.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about Touya. He moved out two years ago, and only comes over occasionally now. Well, I gotta run if I want to have dinner done when it's time to eat. Come by around six." She then took off running, because she hadn't felt like wearing roller blades that day.
Tomoyo was preoccupied with her camera. "I gotta go get this saved. See ya tonight, Li"
"Bye..." Li turned in the opposite direction for his very own apartment. Luxury of an unlimited money supply, and wiseness beyond his years to budget it.
He was a little- no ALOT guilty. He hadn't told them, HER, all of it, and felt really horrible about it. He didn't want to see her hurt though, and this would surely pain her and make her hesitate. It didn't matter- he had to tell her. For even if he wasn't directly lying to her, he was by omission. Tonight he would tell her.

Sakura changed her clothes, yet again. This was the last good outfit in her closet, so it would have to do. She looked around, and smiled sheepishly. It was a disaster, with clothes scattered all over. Well no one besides her would be in here tonight, that was for sure!
"Kero! Come on. It's almost time for them to get here!"
"I still don't know why that Chinese Brat has to eat here" The teddybear-like creature said sulkily. For the last time Kerobera, Shaoran is not a brat! He's my fiance. If you want to eat my curry, then you'll agree with me." She threatened. Kero got it; No nice=no food.
"Fine, if you want to play dirty." He huffed, but subsided.
"I think you'll find he's changed, for the better toward you"
"Doubtful" he grumbled.
'KERO! If you don't want to at least be civilized then maybe I should lock you in here. Is that what you want?" she glared.
"No, no, no, no, no! I'll be good!" he flew out and down before she could make good on the threat.
Sakura shook her head and sighed. She heard the door open downstairsand her father come in and call,"Sakura! Your friends are here."
"I'll be down in a sec, just go to the living room. She checked her reflection one last time, then headed down the stairs. Just then the door opened again. Sakura frowned,"I wonder who that could be...?"
"DAD, SAKURA! I'm here. I decided to accept your invitation... after...all." his voice trailed away, and Sakura KNEW he had looked in the living room. She did the only thing she COULD do. She sat down on the step she was on and face faulted. WHY was this happenning to her!?
