To Tomoyo+Eriol fans - sorry. I'm really sorry to say this, but since Eriol wasn't back then in this time, they won't really make any other appearances together till the very end. Gomen nasi.
AznTiger - Yes, I admit it. I have been watching card captors. **ducks at objects thrown**. I wanted Mei Lin outta of the story, so I chose that episode, and the English dub (I hate em, yet I watch em). was the only version I had for reference. I'm currently saving up money for a dvd player, and will buy the subtitled episodes! I'll do more research into the Japanese episodes, and make changes to that chapter when I have time. It was really that obvious I used the dub? AnimeDW14 - A braid? I did write that, didn't I. Please excuse the typo. I've been typing these on my computer at 3:00 am in the morning. Lets just say Eriol heard once that Tomoyo was attractive to guys with long hair, and while away, he grew out his hair, and keeps it in a braid. Kay? Me baka.
To Mina-san! - Hope you all like this chapter. I had soooo much fun writing this. If you have the song, I want you to read this with the Catch You Catch Me remix (original CC Sakura opening, except a totally awsome/kaiwaii remix), to get the full effect of this chapter. Its more fun to read. Hehehhe. Have fun!
Chapter 3
Meetings
**************************
Shaoran was on his way home from school through the park when he sensed something. He stopped himself and looked around. 'What ever it is, it's what I felt two nights ago...' After thoroughly looking around, all he saw was a teen couple making out on a bench near the penguin slide. 'Blaaah. That is soo gross. They look like their eating each other from the neck up.' he frowned in disgust. 'When I'm that age, I'm never going to do something like THAT.'
Yet the young boy kept watching. They where about 30 yards away from him, and something told him to get closer. As he approached the couple, he started to make out the aura of pink mixed with splashes of green.
'They where what I sensed!' he stopped suddenly.
**************************
Sakura came up to Tomoyo who was in the bushes, looking through her camera at something.
"What are you doing now, Tomoyo-chan?"
"Come see for yourself, Sakura-chan. I was waiting for you, and all of a suddenly I spotted Li-kun staring at this couple making out. AND he's been watching them for the last 5 minutes. Its soo hilarious!"
Sakura felt her cheeks fluster at the mention of Li being in a sentence about kissing.
"Oui, Tomoyo. You should leave Li-kun alone. He'll be very angry to know you've been filming him again."
"Two words, Sakura; possible blackmail. Come on and watch. It's too funny to pass by."
"Hoeeeeeee." Sakura sighed under her breath, anime style.
**************************
Shaoran took his lips from Sakura's neck. They've been like this for the last 20 minutes. This was possibly the first time they ever made-out in public, and out of all the places, it was the playground! Sakura locked lips with him again, giving him a deep, passionate kiss.
'Who cares if we're in public. I don't think Touya will disturb us here.'
He and Sakura had finished their scope of the town with the fly card earlier, searching for any signs of any of the loose cards. When they where done patrolling, they came here to rest, and before he knew it, he kissed her, and now they were STILL kissing.
Shaoran felt a tap on his shoulder, and looked up. Sakura also looked up when she saw the look of pure horror on her boyfriend's face.
"I really think you two should get a room." Touya said with Yukito beside him, trying to withhold his laughter.
"The elementary schools just let out, and in a couple of minutes this park will be full of kids staring at you. See, " started Touya, tilting his head to his left. " you already have a perverted Chinese-Gaki whose been staring at you two since I came."
With tomato red faces, Sakura and Shaoran looked to where Touya had pointed, only to meet eye to eye with wide chocolate colored eyes.
Little Shaoran's face turned as red as their's. He looked like a deer caught in head lights, and looked like he was trying to say something, but he suddenly turned and hightailed it.
Shaoran and Sakura watched him run away, then looked back to Touya, smiled giant fake grins, jumped up clutching each other's hand, and ran out of there so fast you would possibly assume they where using the dash card.
"Well, they where a bit odd, weren't they?" Questioned Yukito to his friend.
"Yeah, your right." Replied Touya, who had the strangest feeling to run after the guy with the girl, and... well, kick his ass. This shocked Touya because he was sure he didn't even know him. "Lets get to my place."
**************************
Shaoran had ran all the way to his apartment, which was now absent of Mei Lin.
"Is something wrong, Master Li?" Wei asked from the kitchen.
"No, I'm fine Wei." 'yeah right,' Shaoran thought. 'I just run into a person, or no, people, who have the most magic being emitted by their aura, the most I've ever seen in my entire life! Not only that, but they and Sakura's brother caught me watching them doing very personal stuff.'
He thinks back on the girl in the park. 'She was very pretty though' and he quickly diminished the smile that appeared on his face. 'I have to find out who they are.' He then went over to his closet where his green robes where.
**************************
The two love birds kept running until they where two blocks away from the park. They stopped, taking short rasping breaths. After a minute, they looked at each other and started to laugh. Suddenly, they stopped laughing, stood up strait, and looked around.
"How many days was after we captured the twin card did a Clow card make another appearance?" Shaoran asked, looking around.
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure it wasn't this soon."
**************************
Tomoyo was placing her camera back in her back pack when she got a good look at Sakura's face.
"Whats wrong Sakura?"
"I... I think I sense a Clow card."
"Thats great! I just finished a new costume last night which I want to see on you before I make my final judgment." Tomoyo said, dragging Sakura to her mansion.
**************************
"Awwww, so Kawii! Try not to ruin it. I really like this. In fact, as soon as your done with it, I'm placing it in a safe place." commented Tomoyo from behind her camera, which had Sakura's reflection in its lens.
Sakura had to admit, she liked it too. It was a pink dress with green trim that complimented her eyes. The skirt was short in the front, but traveled its way to behind her midway down her legs and split up in a way that reminded Sakura of a lady bug, and showed another green shirt underneath. Underneath the skirt, visible from the front, where green shorts. A green ribbon was wrapped around her waist, with a giant bow in the back. The top of the outfit was sleeveless. She wore pink gloves that went past her elbows with green trim. Sakura wore pink knee high boots that had green trim.
"Now Sakura, this card feels especially strong," Kero told, glaring at Tomoyo while he struggled to remove the pink ribbon from his neck. "You have to keep your instincts up. AWW CRAP! The Gaki's here."
As they approached the school, they say Shaoran on a wall, sword out, and looking across the street to where a tall, sliver girl with long ponytails coming from her two buns on either head. She wore an outfit that looked like it could of came out of a futuristic movie. She glared at Shaoran with slanted purple eyes.
"Sakura," began Tomoyo. "Isn't that the fight card?!"
"It can't be, I have fight right here," answered Sakura, showing the fight card to Tomoyo. "But she does look a lot like the fight card.
Shaoran attacked, swinging his sword. The card countered, running towards him, and gave a roundhouse kick that sent him to the ground, and a clank of his sword. Suddenly the card had a sword of silver light, and in a split second, turned and slashed, meeting swords with a man in green Chinese robes and a gold mask. Shaoran was then picked up by a woman, and he was surrounded in a pink aura, and robes to match. She carried him to where Sakura and Tomoyo stood.
"Don't worry your selves here," she said, giving them all a lovely smile that reminded Shaoran of Sakura, she also had green eyes, or at least Shaoran thought he saw green eyes through her gold mask. "This isn't a Clow card, and its responsibility to capture it is for my partner and I. Besides, it's too strong for you two." As she finished, she rustled Shaoran's brown bangs, who was looking at her again with giant eyes. She then turned around to join her partner.
Shaoran heard her whisper something, and suddenly her star wand she carried turned into a sword.
**************************
Slash - duck! Parry - swing, duck, jump. Block, jump back. As far as Shaoran could tell, the card didn't have a pattern he could use to his advantage for attacking. Plus he was at a disadvantage because he was getting tired fast, and the card showed no sign of tiring. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Sakura running up to him in her pink robes with a sword in hand. He tried to distract the card with attacking her with his sword, she blocked, jumped back, and swung at Sakura, who luckily was able to block. They had their swords locked with each other. Now it was a test of strength. The card put her weight against the sword, causing Sakura to have to jump back to avoid getting sliced with the swords. Shaoran again attacked the card from behind, but it was useless, for the card countered him with her sword.
'This isn't going any where good for us, we need to use the cards.' Thought Sakura, she looked over to the children, who where watching them, Tomoyo with her camera. She was unsure if she should use the cards so openly in front of them, however she knew what to use. She turned her back to the young card captors, removed a card, and suddenly her attention was to Shaoran barely avoided a slash to his head. Then Sakura watched in horror as the she saw the silver card spirit kick him down to the ground, and raise her sword high.

Chibi Shaoran: "Hey, those robes look like mine!"
Big Shaoran: "So? What are you gonna do about it?"
