Chapter Three

No one at school said anything so we continued with class. I wasn't even paying attention I was thinking of the cards. I was thinking mostly of the Rain card. Why did it kiss me?

I jerked up when the bell rang and slowly got my books together.

I was looking at the Sword card while walking home. "What use is this to me, I already have a sword?" I didn't expect an answer I was alone after all.

"Syaoran!" I turned and saw Sakura but she felt different.

"So, how are you?" she said smiling. Something in the back of my mind kept telling me it wasn't my Sakura. So I guess it must be a card.

"Syaoran!" I turned again and saw another Sakura with Tomoyo. When they came close enough they stopped. I guess they noticed what I noticed.

I turned to what I guessed is the Mirror card but I saw another Sakura. It must be the Illusion card.

"What's going on?" Tomoyo asked as the two Sakuras took the one near Tomoyo.

"Cards. They're the Mirror and Illusion cards." Two Sakuras were spinning one of them and they were looking dizzy.

"I can't tell their magic signatures. They're to close together."

"I'm the real Sakura!" "No, I am!"

The other one didn't say anything so I took that to my advantage.

"Illusion card!" Than the Sakura flashed to the form of Illusion. "Return to your power confine!"

"That was good Li-kun."

"Yeah well, Illusion can't talk like 'Mirror' or 'Twin' but identifying the Mirror is going to be harder." I explained.

"So what do we do than?"

"If I use an attack it will go right through Mirror but I'll hurt the real Sakura." I couldn't really think of anything that could work but I got this silly idea. I went to the Sakura on the right. "You are the Mirror card."

The Sakura I was pointing to turned into the Mirror. "Return to your power confine!"

The real Sakura went over to Tomoyo and hugged her than she hugged me.

"That was very impressive Li-kun."

"Yeah, how did you know it wasn't me?"

"Uh… to you the truth I just guessed," I replied sheepishly, and they fell over.

"Raiju was right they do work together," I said holding the two cards.

Tomoyo sighed. "What's wrong?" Sakura asked.

"I missed another-we know, we know," I interrupted her.

She smiled, "You really know how to cheer a girl up." Huh what did she mean by that. (Even I don't know what she meant by that.) Was I trying to cheer her up, I just don't understand her at all.

The girls walked home with me Sakura wanted to because she was still jumpy and Daidouji didn't want to miss another capture.

"Oh Li-kun, I have a another costume I want you to try on." After hearing that I started lagging behind.

"Syaoran why are you slowing down?" Sakura asked, and Daidouji giggled. Sakura may be dense but I wouldn't have her any other way. Sometimes.

We were entering the apartment and I checked my mailbox.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Raiju said as we walked through the door.

"What?"

"You have a Play Station 2 and Final Fantasy 10!" (I really do have a PS2 and FFX)

"So?" I sweat dropped.

"So! So! Kero is going to be soo jealous!"

"Why?" "He only has a PS."

"Okay…"

"Syaoran I didn't know you played video games," Sakura said as we sat down in the living room where Raiju was playing FFX.

"I do, I just don't talk about it much," I said opening the mail and throwing the junk ones out. I skimmed through the one that said Hong Kong.

"What's it say Syaoran?" Sakura asked worried, must be because I dropped the letter.

"Meilin's coming back."
