Chapter 3- The Familiar Face
Kero sat there thinking hard. "Nah! It can't be her! It just can't be! She's been dead for so long!" whispered Kero to himself.
Sakura saw that Kero was looking a bit uneasy. "Don't worry! I bet that it was just your imagination!" assured Sakura, "Let's go and get something to eat. Syaoran said that our rides won't be here anytime soon!".
"Ya! I'm starving!" said Kero.
As they walked to a restaurant, Kero noticed that the Ling look-a-like was following them. "Speed it up Sakura! That girl is following us!" said the worried Kero.
"Right…" replied Sakura. Her pace quickened a bit.
"This looks like a good place to eat!" said Syaoran.
All the tables only had 4 seats, so Touya and Yukito sat somewhere else- far away from them. While they were eating, Sakura sensed 2 things: something powerful and someone watching her. Sakura purposely dropped her chopstick. While she picked it up, she quickly glanced over her shoulder. She saw that look-a-like staring at them. Sakura got a little freaked out. The mysterious girl made her feel uneasy. She had to know who Ling was. "Kero! Can you please tell us who this Ling person is?" asked Sakura impatiently.
"Ok fine! The story goes like this…" and so Kero told them Ling's story.
Even though they thought that Ling couldn't be there, boy were they wrong. Ling was sitting at a table all by herself. She was a bit nervous. She wanted to run up to them (Sakura and company) and tell them everything, but she couldn't. She thought that they wouldn't believe her. Suddenly, she noticed that they were leaving! She didn't know what came over her, but she ran up to them and said, "I need to speak to the Clow Mistress!". Shocked, they all froze.
Sakura didn't know what to say. She didn't know whether this person was serious or if she was joking. There was silence, and then Sakura spoke.
"Who are you and what to do you know about Clow?" Sakura asked.
"I'm Ling. I know all about Clow and his cards because he's my dad." Ling replied.
"Oh, I see… How do you know that I'm the Clow Mistress?" Sakura asked Ling.
"Well, when you pass away, you don't disappear from the face of the earth. As a spirit, I checked for news at the Li residence." Ling answered.
Ling continued to tell them her story; about her Ling Cards and how they're the ones who are causing all the weirdness in town. She told them about the spell she cast and her reason for coming back. "Now that they have escaped, I'm determined to catch all of my cards back… with your help. I need your help because, #1- I don't have anything to weaken them and #2- They're powerful! Powerful enough to break my seal! They also escaped Star!". After a short pause, Ling spoke again, but to Syaoran and in a flirtatious way. "Hmmm…. I sense some real power from you! Y'know, I think that you could be vital to this operation because my cards like guys more! Hehe!".
Syaoran blushes, but Sakura doesn't notice. She's distracted. Eriol had arrived.
"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late! My flight was delayed a few hours!" Eriol said cheerfully.
"Hmm… you look soooooo familiar!" Ling told Eriol. Ling felt like she had met him before this (Eriol is a half reincarnation of her father, Clow Reed).
Eriol was about to answer, but he was rudely interrupted by a small boy running around. The boy ran into his ankle.
"Sorry!" the small boy said.
"That's alright! Run along now!" Eriol said to the little boy. Eriol never got around to telling Ling who he was. He forgot.
Kero sat there thinking hard. "Nah! It can't be her! It just can't be! She's been dead for so long!" whispered Kero to himself.
