Chapter Three: The Reading

Sakura woke to the sound of an alarm. 'It's Tuesday, sports day. Better not be late,' thought Sakura. She started to pack her bag for an active day when she remembered something.

"The letter. I need to finish it!" shrieked a hysterical Sakura but when she reached her desk, she found a sealed envelope.

"Oh. I'm so stubborn. I didn't need to hurry at all. I finished it last night."

"Hey squirt. What did you finish?" asked Tori as he stepped out of his room. [Sakura set her alarm clock one hour early.]

"TORI!"

"Did you finish your housework duties? They're scheduled for today. Remember?"

Sakura felt frustrated. Why did Tori have to be so ignorant? She decided to leave early, to avoid the congestion of students trying to force their way into jail [school] and to avoid Tori.

***********************************

"Ah. The sensation of being first to class is wond-"

Sakura heard a sniff. She turned around to see none other than......... Li Showron.

"Li. what perfect timing! I needed to give you something." Sakura handed Li the envelope and Li muffled a word of thanks. He felt excited. This was the first time Sakura had given him a letter. He wanted to rip open the envelope but politeness stopped him.

[After school at Li's apartment]

"Hello master Li," said Wei [correct spelling?]

"Hi."

Li hurried to his room only to read a derisive letter. It read-

Dear Li [a.k.a kid],

Since this is the last time I'll see you, I've got a few things to say.

1. Thank you for the many fights we have had. I've enjoyed every one, especially when it comes to biting fingers for Kero.

2. Thank you for leaving the Clow Cards to me. I'm going to enjoy the look on your family's face when they realise you didn't retrieve them. Ha ha.

It's been wonderful to know that you've got an idiot for a girlfriend and I hope you enjoy every one of her terrible torments back in Hong Kong. On the other hand, I've got a kind, handsome and appealing Guardian and a wonderful friend for companions.

I am glad you're leaving, KID.

Sakura

"That Sakura. She'll pay for this!"

********************

[At Sakura's house]

Ring, ring

"I'll get the phone." Sakura picked up the phone to hear 9 words. 'Sakura, meet me at my apartment tomorrow after school.'

It was the unmistakable voice of Li. Sakura was stiff with surprise.
