The boy woke up in his bed. He rubbed his eyes and looked around the bedroom. His eyes stopped at a picture frame next to his bed. He picked it up and smiled at it. "Good morning Sakura", he said. He got out of bed and walked to the window. He opened up the shades and allowed himself to bathe in the sunlight. He stretched out and took a deep breath, but his nice morning was interrupted by a great voice. "Li Syaoran! Wake up and get ready to go!" Syaoran sighed.
Kingdom ClowBy Heart of the Cards
Chapter 2: ClowbladeIt's been 3 months since Sakura and Syaoran sealed the Void Card in the 2nd movie. Syaoran is now in Hong Kong and about to depart to reunite with his love. Syaoran and Sakura are 14.
Syaoran walks down the stairs to be greeted by his mom, Li Yelan, and Wei, his butler.
Syaoran: ~bows~ Good morning mother, Good morning Wei
Yelan: Good morning Syaoran. It's finally here, the day you've been waiting for. ~smiles~
Syaoran: ~blushes~ Yeah, I'm finally going back to Tomoeda.
Yelan: Well, let me give you this first. ~gives Syaoran a credit card~
This should be enough for all your needs.
Syaoran: ~fiddles the card around in his hand~ O yeah? How much can I use?
Yelan: Infinite
Syaoran: ~eyes widen~ A-are you serious?!
Yelan: Yeah, I have a feeling you will need it. ~face softens~ I'm really going to miss you, Syaoran.
Syaoran:~smiles~ Don't worry, I'll call back every now and then.
Yelan: ~smirks and pinches Syaoran's cheek~ Huh, first time you smiled so much in 3 months, wonder why. ~chuckles~ Go on and check your things. Wei will have your breakfast prepared in a little while.
Syaoran: ~rubs his cheeks~ Alright Mom. ~goes back upstairs~
Wei: ~walks up to Yelan ~ Yelan-san, will Syaoran-sama be alright?
Yelan: ~slightly frowns~ I hope so Wei…I hope so…
~~Tomoeda, Japan~~
Kinomoto Sakura is already lively awake, cheerfully fixing her hair in her bedroom. Kero-chan flies out his drawer, I mean, room and lands next to her.
Kero-chan: Ohayo Sakura!
Sakura: ^_^ Ohayo Kero-chan
Kero-chan: You seem Very happy today. Something going on?
Sakura: ^_^ Syaoran-kun is coming back today!
Kero-chan: Nani?! That Gaki?
Sakura: Mou Kero-chan, don't be so mean to him when he arrives.
Kero-chan: Hehe…I won't. What time is he getting here?
Sakura: His plane arrives in a few hours. Me and Tomoyo are planning to pick him up! ^_^
Kero-chan: I see, have fun.
Sakura: Hoe? Your not coming, Kero-chan?
Kero-chan: Nah, I think I'll pass.
Sakura: Alright, I'll bring you back something sweet! ^_^ ~gets dressed and goes downstairs to the breakfast table~
Sakura's dad, Fujitaka, is preparing the table and Sakura's brother, Touya, is reading the newspaper.
Fujitaka: Ohayo Sakura-chan!
Sakura: Ohayo Otou-san!
Touya: Ohayo Kaiju. You seem very happy today.
Sakura: Grrrr…O-Ha-Yo O-Nii-Chan! I'm not a Kaiju! And I'm happy cause Syaoran-kun is coming back! ^_^
Touya: What?! That Gaki is coming back?! Well, he's not stepping foot into This house!
Fujitaka: Don't listen to your brother Sakuda. ~smiles~ All of your friends are welcome in this house.
Sakura: ~smiles back~ Arigato Otou-san.
The Kinomoto family enjoys their breakfast and midway through, Touya quotes on something from the newspaper.
Touya: ~still reading the newspaper~ Hm…let's see, "Super Model Kishuku Taka buys a new mansion for the price of 2 billion dollars" Isn't he the guy who married that pop singer Yuki Miaka a few years back?
Sakura: ~eyes widen a bit~ Oo, I love Miaka's songs! I heard she and Taka has a little girl too. I bet she's very very kawaii! ^_^ Oh my god, I'm gonna be late if I don't leave now. Ja ne Otou-san, Onii-chan!
Touya & Fujitaka: Have a safe trip!
Touya: Hey, their new house isn't too far from here.
Fujitaka: ~chuckles~ But what's the chances of us meeting Kishuku Taka and Yuki Miaka right? ~chuckles again~
~~Hong Kong~~
Syaoran is with Yelan outside the mansion, waiting for the limo. His suitcases are with Wei. The limo finally arrives.
Syaoran: ~looking down~ well…I guess this is goodbye Mom…
Yelan: ~smiles and puts her hand on Syaoran's shoulder~ ~Syaoran slowly looks up~ Remember to call and take care. Go find your Cherry Blossom and don't come back until she's your bride. ^_~
Syaoran: ~blushing furiously~ Mommmm…~gives Yelan a big hug~
Syaoran steps into the limo while Wei places all the suitcases in the trunk. Syaoran looks at his mom through the open car window.
Yelan: O yeah, Syaoran?
Syaoran: Yeah?
Yelan: ~face turns serious~ Be careful.
Syaoran gives her a confused face while the car drives away.
Yelan: Be careful my son…
~~Tomoyo's House, Tomoeda, Japan~~
Sakura and Tomoyo are adding some finishing touches to the surprise cake they're going to give Syaoran.
Sakura: I hope Syaoran-kun likes this cake…we put a lot of work into it.
Tomoyo: Of course he will like it. ~smiles~ as long as it's from you, neh
Sakura-chan? ^_^
Sakura: ~blushing~ mou…

Tomoyo: Alright.
~~Syaoran's plane, Midair~~
Flight Attendant: This plane is on schedule for Tomoeda, Japan. We will arrive within this hour. Thank you for riding Jet Blue.
Syaoran: Gah…so nervous. I can't wait to see Sakura again. ~imagines Sakura's kawaii face but shakes it off~ But…what was that serious look from mom about? Could it have something to do with that weird dream? ~flashes of the dream appear in mind~ It felt so real…I better be in the look out for anything suspicious. Almost there to Tomoeda, I wonder if Sakura is already there waiting.
~~Airport~~
Sakura is sitting down next to Tomoyo, waiting impatiently for the plane.
Sakura: ~unconsciously playing with fingers~ mou..I hope the plane arrives on time. I'm so nervous. It's been so long since that time when I…
Tomoyo: Confessed to him? ~puts a hand on Sakura's shoulder and giggles~
Calm down Sakura, there's nothing to be nervous about.

~~Sakura's House~~

Sakura: Ano…Syaoran-kun…me and Tomoyo-chan made this cake for you…in welcoming you back to Tomoeda…I..I mean, We hope you like it! ~very nervous~

Tomoyo: ~too busy recording to eat~
Syaoran: ~takes a bite~ ~eyes widen a bit~ ~Sakura notices this~ Delicious ^_^ Arigato
Sakura: ~sighs in relief~ your welcome..
After a few hours of chatting, Tomoyo had to go, leaving Sakura and Syaoran alone.
Syaoran: It's great to be back in Tomoeda.
Sakura: ~sits down next to Syaoran~ It's great to have you back.
~Both are blushing furiously~
Syaoran: I missed you very much…~gently holds onto Sakura's hand~
Sakura: I missed you too…~holds onto his hand tighter with her head on his shoulder~
Syaoran: ~still blushing like crazy~ You know, my feelings for you hasn't changed…I love you Sakura…
Sakura: ~blushes as well~ I love you too Syaoran-kun…Forever…
~Sakura's lips moved towards Syaorans' and Syaoran's lips drew closer to Sakuras. They were close enough to feel each other breathing. Suddenly, both of their head's shot up~
Syaoran: you feel it?
Sakura:Hai…a very dark aura…
~The sky turns dark and screaming can be heard outside. Sakura and Syaoran rush outside to see dark like creatures attacking people~
Syaoran: What in the world is going on?!
Sakura: They look like the shadow of the Fight card. We got to try and save the people! ~makes staff appear~
Syaoran: Your right, we got to stop whatever those things are. ~brings out his sword~
"The Heartless"
Syaoran: Huh? ~turns from left to right~
Sakura: Something wrong?
Syaoran: No, nothing. It's the same voice as the dream! ~hears Sakura screaming~ Sakura!
~Sakura was being sucked into the floor just like what happened to Syaoran in the dream~
Syaoran: This can't be happening! ~grabs onto Sakura's hand and pulls with all his strength~ Just hang on Sakura!
Sakura: Syaoran! Help! It feels so…cold and dark… ~starts to lose strength~
Syaoran: No! Hang on!
~A man suddenly appears and knocks Syaoran away from Sakura~
Syaoran: Nooooo! SAKURA!
Sakura: Syao- ~completely sucked in~
Syaoran: ~still staring at the floor where Sakura was, then turns to glare at the man. The man had blond hair, blue eyes and was wearing bluish armor~
Syaoran: You B*stard! Who the hell are you?!
Man: ~silent but stares down at the fallen Syaoran~
Syaoran: ~lounges toward the man with his sword but is sent flying back. Syaoran gets back up and looks at the man, noticing a Chinese symbol on his forehead. Just like the man from the dream, except it's blue.
Man: Get him.
~Many dark creatures begin to surround and attack Syaoran. Syaoran is outnumbered and beaten. A car is heard speeding in the distance towards the area where Syaoran is. The car stops and a man jumps out~
Man#2: ~glares at the man and shouts~ Nakago!
Nakago: …Tamahome…~he quickly vanishes~
Tamahome: Hey wait! ~stares at Syaoran who's surrounded by the dark creatures. Runs into the crowd and quickly drags Syaoran out. They retreat to Sakura's house~
~Syaoran wakes back up almost immediately and looks at the new person in front of him and eventually recognizes him~
Syaoran: You! You're the person from my dream!
Tamahome: Hm? What are you talking about, kid?
Syaoran: uh…O no! Sakura! Where is she?!
Tamahome: ~slowly shakes his head~ She's gone, Nakago took her away.
Syaoran: Nakago?! You mean that blond guy?! ~drops to his knees~ No…Sakura…how could I let this happen…it's just like the dream…now she's all alone and scared…I couldn't save her…~starts to weep~
Tamahome: ~frowns at Syaoran~ It's going to be okay kid…too bad we can't defeat thos-
~a bright light comes down from the sky. Syaoran and Tamahome has their eyes set on it. The light goes through many of the creatures, destroying everyone of them in its path and stops right in front of Syaoran. Both of them are amazed by how those creatures were easily destroyed. Without thinking, Syaoran reaches into the light, to find his hand holding a odd looking sword. It was a long blade identical to his own but it has the Clow's symbol on the handle and was much longer.
~Syaoran and Tamahome both stare at the sword with a surprised look on their face~
Syaoran: What in the world…
"Clowblade…Clowblade…"
