Episode three
Tomoyo slowly woke up and saw a familiar face looking down at her worriedly.
"W-Who are you?"There was something strikingly familiar about those kind prussian blue eyes.She knew she saw them already.
"It doesn't matter.That was foolish of you to play heroine when you know that you barely have the power to protect yourself."he replied.
"S-Sakura,is she ok?"she asked.
"I'll go check."He stood up and faced a red-haired woman and a black tiger."Take care of her while I'm gone."
"Yes Master."both politely replied.
"W-Wait!What's your name?"She was about to stand up to follow him when he waved his staff.Immediately she fell asleep.
"Die!!!"Syaoran attacked Himitsu ferociously with every intent to kill him.He had lost control of himself now.All he wanted to do was to destroy the one who harmed Sakura.
"Sakura..Sakura!Sakura!Sakura!!"Li shouted repeatedly as he slashed his opponent.
Himitsu knew that the sudden increase of his foe's fighting ability was unstoppable.He had already waken up the sleeping dragon within Li.
He smiled.He had waited for 2 long years for this battle,and he was enjoying every moment of it.Li was a most formidable opponent.
Syaoran suddenly stepped back,leapt up and attacked his enemy while falling down.Himitsu failed to read his move,so as the first rays of daylight broke through the dark skies,Himitsu was wounded on the shoulder by Li.
Li was breathing heavily as blood dripped down the blade of his sword.
"Dawn has come,Little Wolf.We shall do battle again,next time.Till then."He disappeared into the fog.
Li fell down the ground,panting.He punched the ground with all his might."Damn!!I didn't kill him!!"He started to weep."I'm so sorry,S-Sakura.."
"Stop that foolishness now,my descendant."a voice thundered.
Li looked up and saw a black-coated man standing beside Sakura."Bring the card mistress home so she can sleep properly."
"Sleep properly?You mean she's asleep?"Li couldn't believe his ears.
The boy nodded.
True enough,Sakura woke up."S-Syaoran..Tomoyo?"
Li hurried towards her."Sakura,are you ok?"
"Yeah.My neck just feels stiff,but aside from that,I feel fine."she murmured.
Li was about to thank the boy when he discovered that he was gone too.
"OOOOOOUUUCCHH!!!!!"
Sakura sighed as she dipped the swab of cotton into the peroxide.She cleaned Li's wound gently."You weren't screaming like this awhile ago."
"Awhile ago,all my attention was focused on fighting with Himitsu.Will you be more gentle,please?"he asked through gritted teeth.
They were in Li's house treating Li's wounds from the battle.
"Wei,can I have more bandages here please?"requested Sakura as she taped one on Li's cheek.
"Maybe you ought to go home before Touya discovers you're gone."Li suggested reluctantly.As much as he was enjoying playing patient for the pretty nurse,he didn't want her to get into trouble with her big brother.
"Ok."she replied.Just as she opened the door,Li Meiling burst into the room."Tadaimaaaa!!!"
A raven haired little girl looked curiously at the flower crown he made."It's so pretty!"she gushed.
He placed the crown on her hair."There."
She blushed."If only Syaoran can be as kind as you are to me,Yao."
Himitsu sighed when he remembered the sweet little girl he used to treat with fondness.He could vividly recall how she often runs to him whenever Syaoran snobs her.He would then comfort her by playing with her.
He finished ironing his school uniform.The beginning of another fruitless day.
"Tomoyo is absent."said Sakura worriedly.
"Perhaps she's late."Meiling adjusted her Tomoeda uniform.This was one of her most favorite clothes in her closet.This was a tangible reminders of the good times she had when she,Syaoran and Sakura were still catching the Clow cards.
Li looked at the empty seat beside Tomoyo's seat.He had not tell his cousin yet about Yao Leu.He knew it would worry Meiling terribly if he would tell her about Yao's revenge.He silently prayed he won't turn on Meiling next.
"Eriol is absent too."added Sakura.
"Eriol?Oh yeah,the Londoner who Tomoyo never fails to mention in her letters."said Li's cousin as she recalled Tomoyo's stories about the enigmatic boy who often shows interest on Sakura."Maybe they're out on a date."
Li rolled his eyes.Hiragizawa and Daidouji?That would have to be the most far-fetched couple in the world.
Suddenly Himitsu entered the room.He made a beeline for his seat when he noticed a girl sitting on his place.He frowned."That doesn't look like Daidouji."he muttered.
Sakura and Li saw him.The amber-eyed boy immediately ordered the girl to get out of the seat.
"Why?Is Daidouji's seatmate here already?"She turned around and faced him.
Himitsu froze.He knew that high-pitched voice.He knew that arched eyebrows.He knew those ruby eyes.
It was his little Chinese beauty,Meiling.
