CardCaptors: A New Threat to Face
By: Nerd917

Monday

*She's so beautiful. I miss her with all my heart. It's been 7 years
and she's probably comfortable with some boyfriend and forgotten all
about her old cardcaptoring partner. How badly I want to go back and
take her in my arms and never let her go. HA! Fat chance, I don't think
the elders would let me out of their sight for 5 minutes let alone
forever.I don't care who or what I am, I'll see her again, I sware it.*

Li Syaoran sat on his bed thinking to himself while closing his drawer
after replacing the photo of Kinomoto Sakura, one that Tomoyo had taken
for him and framed as a goodbye gift before he left. She had
understood his feelings for Sakura even before he had.

Sakura, a name and face he thought of every day, one that helped him
get through his Hell of training. He wanted to get back to her so
badly, but his mothers words still reverberated in his mind, "You
are to an important person, the future clan leader." Blah, blah. He
knew this already, but why couldn't he see her, it's not like she
would distract him from his responsibilities, he's probably more
distracted without her.

A knock on his door tore him away from his little world and Wei
entered.

"Master Syaoran, your mother requests your presence in the library.
She says she needs to discuss a matter with you."

"Thank you Wei, I will go right down," Syaoran said getting up and
off his bed and walking out the door Wei held open then closed behind
him. He walked down the stairs and through the long halls wondering
what his mother would need from him. He entered the library and walked
up to stand next to the chair his mother was stiffly sitting in.

"Sit down." she commanded and Syaoran sat in the chair across from her.
"Now I know you've been training hard and your skills have improved
greatly and you're in definite need of a break. "

At the last words, Syaoran started to stutter a complaint questioning
why she should think this, but the "look" he got shut his mouth.

"As I was saying, you deserve a break, so I decided to send you to a
camp for 2 weeks in Japan. It starts on Wednesday, so I suggest you go
and get ready. Wei will fly with you to Japan on Tuesday where you
will stay in a hotel until Wednesday morning where you will procede
to drive to the camp."

After his mother said the word Japan, Syaoran heard no more. All he
was concentrating on was the fact that Sakura lived in Japan.

*Maybe the camp will be by her house and I can sneak away and see her.
Or maybe I can just not go to the camp and stay in Tomoeda. No one
would ever know, I could hitchhike there . . . wait, what am I saying,
I'm a Li, I could rent a limo and chouffer to take me there if I
wanted to, no no no, there's no adventure in that, but I wonder what
would impress Sakura more, if I came to her window on a white
stallion or . . .*

"LI SYAORAN!!!!!"

Syaoran's eyes unglazed and came to focus on the now irritated face
of his mother.

"What are you mumbling about? Something about a white stallion?! You
already have a chestnut mare and a bay. Do you really think you need
another?"

"Sorry ma-ma, I got alittle lost in a thought. The camp sounds fine,
when did you say it started?"

"Syaoran, you must pay more attention, you are. . . "

" . . . an important person, the future clan leader. I know ma-ma,
you've told me a million times before, along with how I need to buckle
down more on my future as leader and choose a suitable wife . . . "

" . . . and you've never done such a thing. You keep saying you have
a girl like no other, but no more than that, and I've seen you with no
such girl. If you're not careful, you'll end up with Meiling."
Li Yelan chuckled as she finished this remark and eyed the blanched
face of her only son. She knew how potent this threat was in his eyes,
but he really did need to find a wife.

"The camp starts Wednesday, now go upsatairs and pack so you'll be
ready."

"Thank you ma-ma, I'm sure I'll come back . . ." Syaoran paused,
trying to find a word.

"Yes, I should hope you come back." His mother mused," And you better
still be a virgin, I can tell things like that."

"MA-MA! WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM!?!?"

"A 17 year- old boy, going to a co-ed camp for 2 weeks, things can
happen with so many hormones!" Yelan smiled as she watched her son
squirm at such a subject.

"Now go pack."

"Yes ma-ma."

Syaoran got up out of his chair and exited the library. He couldn't
believe the conversation he'd just had with his mother. She was such
a confusing person, at one moment, all stiff and serious, and the next,
joking about virginity, HIS virginity. This made him wonder if he'd
inherited any of her confusing habits. With this on his mind, he
headed up to his room where instead of packing, he sat on his bed
wondering what this camp would be like until it was late in the night
and he just keeled over, in his day clothes, shoes and all.
