Authors Note: I am so happy! I can't believe that I've gotten nine reviews for my first chapter! I am very glad that you guys liked the story so far. All those reviews have encouraged me to update faster, so this chapter is out sooner than it would have been thanks to all of my faithful reviewers. As I was rereading the last chapter I saw some grammar errors. I promise to try and check better for those from now on! Well, enjoy the story. And don't forget to review at the end!
Syaoran's Three Wishes
Chapter 2
Master Li
Sakura smiled as she walked back into her room. She grinned at all of the familiar objects. It felt great to be back! She had missed everybody, even though she had only been gone for two days. She couldn't wait to see Syaoran, Tomoyo, Naoko, and the rest of her friends at school the next day. Sakura flopped onto her bed and closed her eyes. She was just about to fall asleep when she remembered something and her eyes snapped open. She had forgotten all about her weekend homework!
"HOE!!!" Sakura screamed as she raced around her room grabbing her backpack, pencil, and other materials. She sighed as she pulled out her chair and sat down at her desk. *I guess I better do my math homework first, I've got the most of that one!* And with that, Sakura began doing her homework which would take up the next two hours of her day.

Syaoran had locked himself up in his room so that nobody could disturb him. Then he threw The Wish Card up in the air, slammed his sword against it, and shouted, "Wish Card!" The beautiful woman appeared again and stared down at Syaoran. He stared back, fascinated by her emotionless, silver eyes.
"What is your wish, Master?" whispered the Wish Card softly. She had an enchanting voice that sent shivers through his body, echoing slightly.
"I don't know what I want to wish for yet, but I do have some questions for you," Syaoran said boldly.
"Whatever you ask, I will answer. You are my master," replied the Card in an even voice.
"Well, how many wishes do I have?" Syaoran questioned. He thought it was three, but just wanted to make sure.
"Only three," was the Card's answer. That voice was beginning to give Syaoran the creeps.
"That's what I thought," Syaoran stated. "So, can I wish for anything?"
"Anything you want, there are no rules. You are my master, and I will grant whatever wish you want," the Card stated.
The Wish Card's POV
*I'm sure he is just like the others.* thought the Wish card. *Ignorant and greedy. Yes, I will grant whatever wish they want. If they desire more wishes then I will grant them that wish, but leave as soon as their three original wishes are used. All I ask for is a caring master or mistress who isn't greedy. All they ever see when they look at me is wishes. This young boy is my ninth master. All of the others were just arrogant, cold-hearted beasts, and I'm sure he'll be no different. When they capture me, they think that they must be super powerful or something. The truth is that capturing me is as easy as clapping your hands or turning around. It isn't very hard to do. All you need is a tiny ounce of magic, and a will to capture me and I will take the form of the Wish Card. But I never have had a true master or mistress, I am as free as a bird. I can leave my so called 'masters' whenever I want. Yet if I did that then I would never find my caring master/mistress that I know is out there somewhere. But I am beginning to lose hope of ever finding a truly loving master.*
Normal POV
Syaoran studied the Wish Card carefully. She seemed to be lost in thought. He didn't want to disturb her, so he just stood quietly. His thoughts began to drift to a certain emerald-eyed girl. (gee, I wonder who? ^_^) *She just has the most beautiful face and the sweetest laugh. She could brighten my day anytime. She must be home by now. I'll go visit her as soon as I'm done questioning the Wish Card.*
"Um, I don't mean to disturb you, but…" Syaoran mumbled uneasily as he continued to gaze at the Wish Card.
"I'm sorry for my lack of attention, master. It won't happen again. What is your wish, Master?" the Card asked quietly.
"Well, I'm not sure what I want to wish for right now, but I'll think about it," Syaoran said thoughtfully. "By the way, you can call me Li instead of 'Master'. Okay?"
"Whatever you wish, Master Li," replied the Card.
Syaoran sighed and shook his head. "Return to your power confined, Wish Card!" he shouted. Once again, the card flew into its card form and shot into Syaoran's hands. Syaoran placed it on his desk and ran out the door. He was going to go visit Sakura, and think about what to wish for!
Author's Note: I know, I know, another short chapter. But I figured you guys would rather have a short chapter sooner than a long chapter later. Syaoran is a bit OOC so far in this story, but I'm working on it! I already have the next chapter planned in my head, so it shouldn't take me long to type it. I don't like it when people list all of their reviewers, so I'm not going to do that. I just think it takes up time that I could be using to write the story. But I do thank all of the people who read and reviewed my story. Please review when your done with this chappie! Arigato.
