Chapter 2
"Return to your power confine!"
I'm really getting sick of saying that phrase over and over again. Why couldn't it be a different incantation instead.
The Shadow card flew to my hand. I used my lighting spell and turned on the streetlights. Than I used Windy to trap it.
"That was a great capture!" Tomoyo said, videotaping from a far.
These cards are different from the Clow cards. Usually they only come out one by one on some days, but these ones come constantly.
This morning I noticed the Sweet card was in my apartment. I'd say it was my great senses that sensed it but I'd be lying. I was pretty sure my room didn't look like a candy house. To make things worse the Jump card was trying to eat my bed, and Raiju was about to eat my desk.
It was easy to get Jump since it was occupied and Sweet was a simple capture too. Now I have teeth marks on my bed and desk.
Okay back to the present where I just captured the Shadow card. I thought when I could capture these cards I'd be wearing my robes but Tomoyo had a different idea.
I felt ridiculous wearing it now I know how Sakura feels.
The clothes were simple but I still felt stupid. I had on a black sleeveless looking vest with baggy black pants to match, and chinese slippers that felt a little comfortable. I had to wear a white belt around my waist and there was a Yin Yang sign on my back, and to top it off she wanted me to wear a black bandana around my head. When I was trying them on before the capture Tomoyo had a weird sparkle in her eyes and Sakura looked dazed too. She blushed when I snapped my fingers in front of her face and she said I looked cute. I gave a small smile.
It was the next morning and I was walking with Tomoyo and Sakura (surprising she was up early) to school.
When we got to our classroom I sensed something. As we got in the entire class was asleep.
"What happened?" Sakura asked.
"It's the Sleep card," I sighed, and Sleep came out behind Mr. Terada's desk. It was about to attack but I whacked it with the side of my sword. Before it could regain consciousness I sealed it. The class was still asleep too.
"What should we do if they ask?" Sakura asked as we sat in our desks.
"Uh… Hope they don't ask?"
"I just missed a capture that I wanted to tape." I think you know who that was.
I felt something near the window when I turned the Rain was nose to nose with me. It was kind of cute on its little cloud.
It kissed me on the nose and giggled away. "What the heck was that?" I said utterly shocked.
Sakura giggled, "It must be playing a game."
"I think it likes you Li-kun," Daidouji said smiling also. I have this tendency to call her by her last name when I'm angry.
I shook off my shock and went after Rain and we bumped into Rika. Rika can sometimes be late except when she's needed to 'talk' to Mr. Terada. Not very many people know about them but I do and I'm not blurting anything out. They seem happy despite their age difference.
"Hey guys did class start?" she asked.
"Uh… not really," I said uneasily.
"Li-kun does Mr. Terada know about that?" she pointed to my sword. After she asked I noticed Rain and ran after it.
"You know Sakura that broach I got, the sword one. It was strange that I found it in my room."
I stopped and looked at her and there was the Sword on her shirt. "Oh, Kami." We know what would happen and we ran like hell.
Rika's eyes turned dead and she had the Sword in her had. I turned back to face her and block her attack.
"Syaoran don't hurt her!" Sakura cried.
"Who's hurting who?!" As I blocked another attack. I dodged another attack and hit her hand with the flat side of my sword. As the Sword fell out of her hand I caught her. "Return to your power confine!"
We brought Rika into the classroom. "That was déjá vu wasn't it?" I said to the others and they nodded.
"I missed yet another capture." Sakura and I sweat dropped.
I felt something above me and I saw the Rain it was patting my head. I put the tip of my sword on its head. "Return to your power confine."
I looked at the card and felt that it pitied me.
Oh well, a card's a card.
