AN: Welcome to my second story! This one will be a little different than the other two I wrote. It won't be really long probably about five chapters, but it will take a while to write because I'll be going out of town for five weeks.
Syaoran, Sakura, and anyone else their age is about sixteen. That's all you really need to know.

Disclaimer: I don't own Cardcaptors or Cardcaptors Sakura. I don't have any money anyway, but you are welcome to take my sisters!

A Time of Need
Prologue
By: AnimePrincess

***

Li-kun,

I'm not going to take the time to be very formal, because we don't have that much time to waste. Enclosed is a one way ticket back here to Tomoeda, Japan. It's pretty much a universal ticket, you can leave on the flight closest to when you receive this letter. The reason why I'm calling you back is because of Sakura. She is in a lot of trouble. She won't let anyone help. I know you're the only one who can save her. Please come as soon as you can. Call me and tell me if and when you're leaving and I will be there to pick you up. Hurry I don't know how much time we have left.


Sincerely,

Daidouji Tomoyo

Li Syaoran stared blankly at the letter and ticket in his hand for a few seconds. He hadn't contacted Sakura or Tomoyo in about a year. If Tomoyo suddenly writes him out of the blue like this then something must be wrong. In a split second Syaoran had already decided, he was on his way back to Japan.

"Mother I need to go back to Japan." Syaoran said and handed his mother the letter. His mother read it over quickly and nodded her head in agreement.

"All right Syaoran, you may go. She obviously needs your help. Please be careful and contact me every once in awhile to tell me of the situation." Syaroan's mother kissed her son on the forehead and then let him go to his room and pack while she made the arrangements to get him to the airport.


Once in his room, Syaoran picked up the phone and called Tomoyo. He needed to let her know he would be coming on the next flight .

"Daidouji residence, Tomoyo speaking."

"Hello Daidouji it's me." Syaoran said gruffly into the speaker. He wasn't quit sure how Tomoyo would react to him calling after so long, even if she did ask him to.

"Li-kun, I've been hoping you'd call. Are you going to be able to come?" Tomoyo's voice sounded so hopeful, yet still ready for rejection.

"Of course I'm going to come. I'll be on the next flight." Li hung up the phone and quickly threw all of the neccessary items into a suitcase and was out the door.

On the plane, Syaoran couldn't stop thinking about Sakura and the trouble she has gotten into now. He was only hoping it wasn't the cards again. He did not want to go through all of that again. But if it wasn't the cards then what was it? It must have been something pretty bad. Figuring there was nothing he could do about it then, he decided to get some sleep before he arrived in Japan.
Syaoran had no idea what he would be up against when he got to Japan. He deffinately had no idea how to handle it, but he would have to learn soon before it was too late.

To be continued...

AN: So what do you think is going on with Sakura? Who knows you may be right or you may be wrong, you'll just have to find out in the next chapter. Until then, see ya! R&R! Don't worry S&S!
