Li couldn't believe it, both of them…sick and they didn't know why. He sighed as he sat at his desk at school, he would have to talk to the teacher at their fifteen minute break so he could tell him where Sakura and Alyssa were. Tory and his dad weren't telling anyone, and Mr. Avalon had asked him to tell Sakura's teacher.

"Li, there was something you wanted to tell me earlier?" a voice said, bringing Li out of thought. Looking up, he had not realized that it was their break time, he saw that his teacher was standing there.

"Um…yes sir, it's about Alyssa and Sakura," he started to say.

"Oh, yes they're both sick today aren't they? Do you happen to know why?" he said. The teacher obviously was trying to catch the two sisters for skipping their classes.

"They're both in hospital sir, their father told me to tell you," he said quietly. The teacher merely nodded now and turned to go back to teaching. It wasn't until later, when Li was walking Madison home that he realized that he or anyone else could not help the two. He sighed, there was nothing any of them could do to help them, they were on their own.

It was a warm feeling, yet everything was black, but only for a moment. She couldn't see it all, but then, she didn't know what she was looking at. When her vision cleared she was amazed, Alyssa was standing beside a man that looked like her father…only it was Clow Reed. She knew this, because she had seen him once before, when he had appeared after the battle with Yue.

"Ah, Sakura, I see you've made it," he said, "now we must only wait for one other," he said. This made Sakura and Alyssa both think, another, to get sick and come here to them. They didn't want that to happen, the pain and the coldness was too much…but who was the other? Li…it just had to be Li.
