Li looked up from his book as he heard the doorbell rang. A look of confusion crossed his face as he stood up.

"Who could that be?" he asked himself. As he reached the door, he slowly turned the knob and opened.

"Hiya Li!" there, standing in the doorway, was a young girl, with hair the smae color as his, and the same brown eyes. Her ahir was pulled into a half-pony-tail, and around her neck was a strange pendant, which looked like an arrow. She was wearing jeans and a red jacket, over a white shirt. Over her shoulder was a blue backpack and in her other hand was a siutcase.

"HALLIE?!" he exclaimed. Hallie nodded, with a large grin on her face. He stared and gawked.

"Hey, aren't you gonna invite your little sister in?" Hallie demanded, "It's sorta cold here you know!" Li quickly stepped back, allowing her in. After a minute to recover form the shock, his eyes narrowed in anger.

"What are you doing here? I thought mom and dad-"

"There's been a change of plans bro. Some big changes. And I'm gonna need your help with this," Hallie said. Li raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?" Sighing, Hallie placed her sutcase down and looked at her brother, a bit of fear in her ees.

"Well, you-you've heard of the Mitora, right?"

"Vaugly, ya," Li nodded. "Why?"

"Well, uh...I found it in the house last week...and I uh...well...I...opened it."

"WHAT?!"

"And the cards escaped." His jaw dropped, and his eyes widened. Hallie sweatdropped. "I think this is the the part where I go and run for my life."

"Are you insane?! What were you thinking?"

"I don't think I was. It was ten o'clock that night, and I was tired and-"

"Those cards are powerful and extremely dangerous! It's bad enough with the original Cards released-"

"See? I'm not the only fool here who let out the cards."

"-but with the ones from the Mitora, that's just insane!!" Hallie sighed sadly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. but hey, now Im a Card Captor, just like you!" Li sweatdropped.

"Great..." Then, he noticed, his sister's backpack was moving. "Uh, Hallie..." He pointed to the bag. Hallie sweatdropped and opened it up. Out came a little winged horse.

"Geeze hallie, couldn't you have let me out sooner? I was suffecating in there!"

"I'm sorry Palia-chan, it's not my fault!"

"Yes, it was!"

"No way am I letting a stuffed animal stay here!" Li said. "I already have enough problems with Kero-chan!" Paliakyros looked at him, a nerve twitching. Spotting his finger, she bit it. "OWWW! Stupid stuffed animal!"

"Say that one more time and I'll-" Hallie grabbed Palia from mid-air and restrained her.

"Calm down Palia-chan. Li didn't mean that, right?" she added, looking at Li sharply. The boy said nothing, but was nursing his bitten finger.

"So, Keroberos is here aswell? Figured that poor excuse for a guardian would fail," Palia said, roling her eyes.

"Oh, and you did a better job?" Hallie said, eyeing the horse. Palia sweatdropped.

"Well..." They remained silent, the three of them for a moment.

"So, you're going to be here for a time, aren't you?" Li asked. Hallie nodded. "I'll go tell Waye(is that how you spell it?-LS) I think there's a spare bedroom. And, I better tell Meilin." Hallie stared.

"Meilin is here? No wonder I haven't seen here around Hong Kong."

"Did someone say my name? a cheerful female voice say. Hallie looked, and saw Meilin.  She was wearing black pants and a grey sweatshirt. She spotted hallie, and stared. "Hallie? What are you doing here?" she demanded.

"Do I have to explain this, again?" Hallie sighed. Palia looked up at the Card captor.

"Yup, and while you are, is there pudding here? I'm craving some at this moment."

Sakura looked up from her textbook, when she heard the phone ring. Picking it up, she said, "Hello?"

"hey Sakura, it's me."

"Li? What's up?" Kero-chan looked over.

"It's the kid?" Sakura eyed him and listened to her fellow card captor speak. Her eyes widened with surprise.

"Kero," she asked her friend, "was there a second Clow Book created?"

"Huh? What are-Well, ya there was, but-NO WAY! You are not telling me that-" Kero flew over to her, and yanked the phone from here. "PALIAKYROS! YOU IDIOT! PUT HER ON NOW!...Okay, Palia? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU WERE SUPOSSED TO GUARD THE MITORA CAREFULLY AND NOT LET THEM ESCAPE!...DON'T GO THERE! I WILL SERIOUSLY-"

"Kero!" Sakura hissed. "Stop yelling, otherwise..."

"Sakura, would you pipedown in there?" Sakura grabbed the phone from Kero and covered his mouth.

"Sorry Tori!" Quietly, she listened to his foot steps vanish. "Kero, you have to stop being soo loud!" Kero frowned and glared.

"Ooohh that horse has a lot of nerve...I'm going to get her back for that last comment." Sakura stared.

"Kero, what are you talking about?" But he ether didn't hear her or was ignoring her.

"Ooohhh, calling me a stuffed animal, I already have enough troble with that Li kid, but her? No way. She's gonna get it!"

"Hello? Li? You back on? Listen, I better hang up. Kero looks like he's on the war path." She nodded, listening to him. "Night." And she hung up. 'Kero, calm down already! I'm bringing you to school tomorrow, so that this can be explained better. And you better be on your best behavior."

"She's gonna get it, one way or another." Sakura sweatdropped and sighed.
