Chapter nine: True loves birds
Li's apartment.
Li stood on his balcony looking at the sunset with the cards he had captured so far in his hand. He heard a chirping then looked up to see two love birds land on the railing in front of him.
Li smiled "I wonder if you guys love each other like me and Sakura"
Li's head snapped up suddenly *a card but where is it. It feels close very close but I don't see a card anywhere*
Li started looking around, the love birds looked at Li then at each other and took off looking back at Li who was still glancing around.
Next day after school.
"We're home!"
Wei, Korano and Senosa approached Li and Meiling who had just got home from school.
"How was your day master Li Miss Meiling?" Wei asked
"GREAT!" Meiling shouted.
"Yeah, yeah" Li muttered and went into his room.
Everyone looked at Li as he slammed his door then looked at Meiling.
"I assume something happened" Senosa said
"Well." Meiling looked at the ground
Flashback.
On top of the school.
Li looked at the school yard observing the football game below, he noticed a few girls walk by look up and wink at him but Li's thoughts were elsewhere. Unknown to him however two love birds landed on the side of the roof near him.
*It's that card again and it's right.* Li spun around and spun his fist and hit.Sakura! Square in the face and knocking her to the floor.
"Oh my god Sakura! Are you all right!?" Li said helping her to her feet.
As soon as she got up she slapped him "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU HIT ME IN THE FACE FOR NO REASON!"
"Sakura I-I sensed a card and I thought."
"YEAH RIGHT LI I'VE HAD IT GOODBYE!" she straightened her skirt and walked off.
End of flashback.
Li's room.
Senosa went into Li's room closing the door behind him, he then turned to Li and noticed that the floor was covered in splinters. He then looked at Li who was leaning on his sword panting, Senosa flew over him.
"Li Meiling told us what happened"
"You got a point stuffed animal?"
Senosa sighed "you two care about each other a lot and I don't think you should break up over a silly little disagreement"
Li stared at him "I punched her in the face you call that little"
"Well you said you sensed a card right maybe if you capture it she'll believe you and forgive you" "I guess" Li said looking at the floor.
"Think about it" Senosa said leaving the room.
Li looked at the floor *he's right I should capture that card but first I must figure out how I'm going to recognize it because I sensed it last night and today but.wait a minute those birds! They must be the card spirit of course how could I be so dense!"*
Li charged out of the apartment and headed into town to look for the card.
Reedington square.
Li checked the town square but the only birds he found were pigeons, he leaned against the wall of a building and sighed.
*It was a lot easier to find those birds when I didn't know they were a card*
His head snapped up when he heard a familiar chirping and saw the birds sitting on the roof of a building opposite to him. He ran after the birds as they took off, he followed them down a tight alleyway and stopped as they landed on a fire escape above him. He jumped into the air and pushed off the wall opposite the fire escape, he landed gracefully on the railing and took a swipe at the birds with his sword but they flew at him dodging his sword swipe. Li tried to get them away from him but they caused him to lose his balance and fall.
"WINDY!"
The windy card spirit broke Li's fall leaving Li dazed and confused until he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Sakura.
"Sakura what are you doing here?"
"That's a fine how'd you do I just saved your life after all and what do you think your doing attacking birds anyway" she said putting her hands on her hips.
"Sakura those birds are the card I sensed when I hit you!"
She looked surprised "you mean you were telling the truth"
"Of course do you really think I would hit my girlfriend"
Sakura looked down "I'm sorry Li"
Li smiled "don't worry about it"
Sakura looked up at him "okay I'll use the windy card and you."
"No use the twin card on me Sakura I have a better idea"
Sakura looked shocked "if you say so Li"
She used the twin card and in doing so Li split into two Li's both looking exactly the same as the other.
Sakura blushed furiously "two Li's I could barely handle one how can I handle two?"
Both the Li's walked up to her and hugged her in unison.
"Then again I could get used to this"
The two Li's let go of her and looked up at the birds "Sakura we'll handle this" they both said in unison.
They leaped up into the air and pushed off opposite walls, Li 1 landed on the fire escape without any trouble on one side of the birds and Li 2 pushed off the wall opposite the fire escape and landed on the other side of the birds. They both drew their swords and took a slice at the birds, the birds took off and dodged the sword swipes Li 1 and Li 2 jumped off the walls and followed them up until they landed n the roof. They just managed to beat the birds to the roof and Li 1 used his elemental wind attack to stop the birds then Li 2 used his elemental fire and then they both sealed the card. The card landed in Li 1's hand, he looked at the card which showed the two birds with a red ribbon in the shape of a heart and the word 'love' at the bottom. The two Li's jumped down next to Sakura and smiled at her.
"Great work Li uh-Li's"
They both stepped forward and hugged her.
She hugged them back "So you guys doing anything?"
