Ghosts of the Past
Sakura sighed as she and her sister walked downtown with Madison, Mei Lien, and Li. It was just too hot outside for the time of year, yet between the three Card Captors, they had not sensed any sort of Clow Card.
"Can we please get some ice cream?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah…please Li?" MeiLien asked, actually agreeing with her rival, Sakura. Li sighed, they had nothing better to do, so they might as well. Kiyoko and Kero had stayed at the Avalon house, against their own will, because Alyssa and Sakura had both agreed that it was too hot for them to be stuffed in their bags all day.
"I suppose so," Li said finally.
"Yeah! Li you're the best!" Mei Lien said and hugged him. Alyssa noticed the scowl on his face but brushed it off. Sitting at a table she waited for the other four to sit with her, she didn't feel right being by herself, it just bothered her right then. She shivered slightly and wrapped her arms around herself.
"It's just my imagination," she told herself quietly.
"Hey Alyssa," a voice said behind her, and when a hand was placed on her shoulder she jumped.
"Hey, what's wrong, it's just me," the voice said again. Looking up Alyssa sighed.
"Hi Julian," she said quietly. Julian looked at her curiously she was still shivering.
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked her. Alyssa merely nodded her head. By now Sakura and the others had come back with their ice cream.
"Julian!" Sakura said happily. Mei Lien just sighed as she sat down beside Madison to let Sakura talk to Julian, since she was in so deep conversation with him. Li, however stood beside Alyssa.
"Alyssa…you're shivering, what's wrong?" he asked her, more kind then he had ever been to her before then.
"I don't know…I'm just cold," she said slowly and rather quietly. Li looked at her again but didn't sit down.
"You should go home," he said to her. But before he had finished his sentence her eyes closed and she collapsed forward against the table.
