Meiling couldn't believe what was in front of her.

Behind her, she heard something crash. She turned around and saw Himitsu looking at her, face pale as a ghost.

She stood up weakly. "H-Himitsu, why is this with you?"

He looked down at the broken plates. "Ms.Meiling.."

She faced him. "Don't tell me that you're no ordinary person..that you have magic and you know something about the Clow cards.." she whispered.

Still not looking up at her, he walked towards her.

Oh god, was he going to kill her because she already knew his secret?

He knelt down beside the masamune and held it. He then pointed it to Meiling.

Her eyes widened in fear.



"Kill me now!" yelled Himitsu, handing the masamune to her.

"W-What?"exclaimed Meiling.

He gave her the masamune. "Kill me now!Kill me for lying to you,Mei."

"Lying?" she echoed,her mind on the name he called her.

"I..I am here to kill your cousin, Li Syaoran." he confessed remorsely.

"A-And you're Yao,right?" she whispered.

"How did you know?"

"Only Yao calls me 'Mei'." She knelt down and embraced him. "Why? Why do you want to kill my cousin?"

He couldn't speak.

"It doesn't matter." She touched his face. "It doesn't matter if you tell me or not."

"No, I'll tell you, Mei." he said.

She sat down to listen to him.


Sakura was trudging around a garden dressed in pink silk medieval princess gown. She had been walking around in circles for hours, searching for the source of a voice beckoning her.

Where was she anyway?

"Sakura..Sakura.." Yukito's voice called.

"Y-Yukito, where are you?" she called out. She jumped down to a pit and saw Yukito dressed in a prince costume, eating.

"W-What are you doing down here, Yukito?"

He smiled. "Come and eat with me, Sakura."

She sat down beside him. "Why don't you eat up there, under a tree? Why do you have to dig a hole for yourself?"

"Try the strawberry cake. It's good." He took a forkful of it. "Open your mouth."

She did as told, but she was still puzzled. What's going on?

As soon as the cake slid down her throat, she felt dizzy and weak. She collapsed in Yukito's arms.

"Are you ok?" he asked worriedly, peering at her face.

She smiled forcibly. "Of course.."

She gasped when she saw his face descending to her face.

She closed her eyes as her vision started to blur.



Tomoyo stopped walking. She could sense something terrible happening to her best friend. She looked down at the sidewalk. "Sakura.."

"Daidouji-san."

She turned around and saw Eriol looking at her. Somehow, she could sense that he knows something about what was happening.

"Hiragizawa-kun, please help Sakura," she begged.

She wasn't surprised anymore when he nodded.



Kero-chan gasped. "Sakura is in danger!"

Yue clenched his fists but he forced himself to be calm. He looked at his fellow guardian. "Do not worry. The Clow descendant won't let anyone harm the mistress."

"Y-Yes, Yue."
