Syaoran glanced around Sakura's room, checking out his surroundings. He sighed and said, "I don't know where to start....."
A very bored Kero replied, "The beginning would be nice. Geez!! Hurry up!!"
Syaoran glared at the doll. It seemed as though being gone all these years hadn't helped his relationship with Kero. 'Why do I offend him so much?' Syaoran thought. 'Sure, I call him a stuffed doll and I always glare at him... but why does he hate me so much??' By now, Kero was glaring back at Syaoran. Sighing again (he seemed to be doing a lot of that lately), Syaoran broke his glare with Kero to look at Sakura. The girl was staring at Syaoran with wide eyes. She was waiting for the story Syaoran was about to tell, obvlious to the glaring contest that Syaroan and Kero had. Syaoran blushed seeing Sakura staring at him a cleared his throat.
"Ahem.... *cough cough cough* Ok then, the beginning.... the story starts when Clow-san starts preschool..." Syaoran began.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Clow Reed was a happy 5 year old boy with no siblings. His mother and father were high sorcerors... very powerful. Therefore, their offspring, Clow Reed was twice as strong to have both the powers of his mother and father in him. But his family hid his powers from him, the didn't want to tell him about his potential because they didn't know how he'd handle it, or if he could control his powers at such a young age. They figured that they could tell him the truth when he older, more mature. So his mother became more of a house wife, acting as a normal mother would. Clow- san's father was a high official, a cheif in the police office headquarters.
Anyways, Clow-san went to school for his first day. He was very joyful, eager to meet people his own age and make friends. But to his dissapointment, no one would talk to him. They all glared at him, even the teachers. All but one girl with dark red pigtails, named Coyusk, Sayi. She went up to him and greeted him. He was ecstatic!! Someone was nice enough to say hi! But as soon as he told her that he was a Clow, she treated him as everyone else did. Sayi was particularily mean. She always screamed that he was cursing everybody, that his family were murderers, people who studied magic to hurt others. Others weren't so out-right, they just glared at him. But Clow-san was hurt terribly by these words that she said. 'How could she lie? Why does everyone hate me?! They don't even know me! How could they believe these lies?' Clow-san would think to himself.
After a few days of such torment, the now saddened boy confronted his parents. He asked his mother, 'Are we special people?' His mother, a very sweet person deep within her heart, replied that they were, in fact, 'special.' So he asked what made them special. She replied, 'We are a happy family with gifts. We do our best to help improve society and we make good money. All families are special in there own way.'
Clow-san wasn't satisfied with the answer so he continued to pry. His next question was, 'We have gifts? What are they?'
Clow's mother laughed. 'Why are you asking so many questions? Dinner's about done.... will you set the table?' Clow-san couldn't refuse his mother, so he grudgingly set the table. His father sat at the table, reading the newspaper. Seeing his boy looking distressed he put down his paper and asked his son what the problem was. Clow-san replied with a simple, 'nothing.' His parents knew something was wrong with their precious boy, but they didn't say anything. Clow, meanwhile, was deep in thought. His thoughts were pretty complicated for a boy his age... based on what kind of special gifts his family had. He refused to believe that Sayi was right, that his family was currupt, viscious liars who used magic.
Dinner was in silence. Both his mother and father kept stealing glances at the quiet boy. Finally Clow-san said, 'I....I was wondering..........' but he couldn't continue. He was afraid of how his parents would react if he asked about magic. He thought that his parents would think him silly or that they would be mad at him. His father said, 'What is it, son? You know that you can tell us anything.' Clow-san was still in doubt. But finally he managed to say, 'I was wondering... everyone at my school keeps glaring at me at school.... and a girl keeps saying that my family is evil.... studying magic. Is she telling the truth?'
Clow's mother, who was drinking water, dropped her cup and his father looked in shock. Clow-san wished that he never said anything... so he ran to his room. His parents reaction meant that they were evil, lying, magic-users.
Clow-san was in his room... crying. He was angry and depressed. This happy boy's thoughts were being drowned out by the thought that his family was evil.
In truth, Clow-san's family were the most un-evil people in town. Clow-san's mother, who was at the time an amateur, had accidently killed a cat trying to save it when it was caught in a fence. She used her magic... trying to pry the fence away, but the fence steel wouldn't budge and shook uncontrollably killing the poor cat. A neighbor, Coyusk's, saw this and told the whole town... therefore, the rumors started about the evil Clow-family. That was why Sayi, a Coyusk, had been so mean. The Clow family were aware of the rumors but thought nothing of it, because they didn't want to start a scene. Hearing about their boy's problems, they got saddened and tried to talk to the boy.
Clow-san continued his crying, hearing a vague plea from his mom on the other side of his bedroom door. Angry, he starting screaming to go away. Suddenly, he blew a blast of power.... turning the house on fire. Terrified of what he done, Clow-san was frozen in shock, untouched by the flames. His parents were trying to use their powers to kill the fire, but failed. Clow's mother saw her dumbstruck boy, and went to him. Picking him up she ran threw the flames to get him to safety. His father tried to find a manuver to get him out of the house. Eventually, Clow's family was out of their house. But a price was paid. Clow's mother was severly burned from the flames... still trying to stop the flames on her clothers. Clow-san's father made it out... in the same terrifying condition as his wife. Clow-san was uninjured... glowing a white color a little bit, scared to death. Firefighters and neighbors came... but the house was completely torched. Clow's parents were rushed to the hospital and Clow-san went with them. The doctor, was unfortunately, Coyusk himself, the person who saw Clow's mother kill the cat. Coyusk refused to help Clow's family, and no other doctor was at hand. Clow-san's parent's were refused help, and died a few hours later. Clow-san was sent to an adoption house, were he was treated badly and ran away...

"That's all the story I know.... the book I read was cut off there... many pages were ripped out of the book. But a few pages later, there was another part of the book. It said that Clow-san had put a curse on his town when he was older. In the future, when he was considered an ancestor, two people would be chosen. One of his great-great- great (however many great's) grandchild, and the holder of his most precious possesion, the Clow Cards. These two people would go to the past... somehow break his curse and return back home. If this curse wasn't broken, then the town that he was from would suffer the fate that his parent's had... being torched. The whole town would light on fire... with no available help," Syaoran said somlemnly.
Sakura and Kero were in shock. "Such.... a sad story!!!! Poor Clow-san!! We've gotta help him, Syaoran-kun!" Sakura said. She was sitting down but now she was standing up, her arm pulling Syaoran up off the ground too. Realizing what she was doing, Sakura calmed down, blushing. Syaoran was smiling a rare 'truely happy' smile.
"So, you've got to break the curse-- which is that Clow's hometown would be destroyed in flames. Hmm.... sounds dangerous, Sakura," Kero said, deep in thought.
"I know, Kero-chan.... but I've got to. Innocent people would die. And I need to get rid of these awful visions...." Sakura said quietly.
Syaoran looked at the Sakura and said as quiet as Sakura had spoken, "Don't worry, I've been chosen too. I'll help you, no need to worry."
Syaoran looked into Sakura's eyes. She slowly smiled and said, "Ok! Arigato, Syaoran-kun. I feel safe when you're around." Sakura and Syaoran blushed.
Kero sighed and said addressing only Sakura, "Then it's decided. You and the chinese brat are going to the past.... now we've got to find a way to get there..."
The three figures sat in silence, contemplating what to do next. Syaoran and Sakura were looking at each other... thinking of what to do. Kero had his arm raised to his face... a gesture to show how hard he was thinking. None of them knew what they could do....
