"General Li?" Tomoyo knocked softly on the door.
"Come in!" Syaoran barked. He was not in a good mood as quite a number of his soldiers had died in the last battle and they were forced to retreat.
"I heard they found where the Clow book is," Tomoyo said meekly, knowing what was coming next.
"WHAT? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER?" he shouted.
"I… I just knew of this piece of news," her lips were trembling.
"Uh huh. And Eriol and I are friends," he said sarcastically.
"Believe whatever you want," Tomoyo muttered under her breadth.
"I heard what you said. But I'll just ignore it. Anyway, WHAT WAS IT THAT YOU HEARD?" he tapped his foot impatiently.
"One of the spies said that the book is hidden somewhere in Eriol's kingdom," she said, knowing that Syaoran would definitely NOT welcome this piece of news. She was right.
"I must be dreaming. No, having a nightmare is more like it. How can it be," he started pacing around the room. Then, he turned to Tomoyo, "What else have you heard?" he demanded.
"Someone has found the book. Eriol found the whereabouts of it but when he searched the place, the book was gone. He's worried as apparently, only those with magical abilities can open the book and he doesn't think that anyone in the castle has any magical abilities," she said out in a rush.
He started pacing quicker. Tomoyo was getting dizzy.
"At least we know he's not holding the book now. And that's good news… I think. Ok, Tomoyo, you may go back to your room now," he sighed.
Suddenly, he sensed something.
"A clow card," he said, and took out his sword.

***Sakura's P.O.V***
"Wh… who is that?" I stammered. This castle was said to be very old and old equals to ghosts. I am NOT a big fan of ghosts, to put it mildly.
"Lucky you. Now's your chance. This is the Mirror card. Capture it and the fake cards will just disappear," he said calmly.
"BREAK? YOU CALL THIS LUCK ME?" I was hysterical. I was debating on whether to strangle Kero or just make a run for it.
"Release the key!" he commanded. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to do neither, I thought as Kero shoved the key into my sweaty palms.
I took a deep breath, then, making sure that no one was watching, I commanded, "O Key of Clow, power of magic; Power of Light! Release the wand, the force at night!"
"Now what?" I asked Kero as the duplicate advanced towards me.
"Duh! Use your brains. Release the Windy card and use it to bind the mirror," he rolled his eyes.
"How an I supposed to do that?" I asked, backing towards the door.
"Just take out the windy card and say 'Windy, Release and dispel!' "he said.
"Ok. Windy card! Release and dispel!" I commanded, then paused before saying, "Bind mirror up!"
I watched in satisfaction as the Mirror card struggled.
"Now's your chance! Capture it!" Kero yelled.
"Mirror, return to your power confined! Mirror!" I shouted. I watched in amazement as the two cards floated back to her. Then, those cards in my backpack floated out and almost half of them disappeared.
"Great job! Now let's see…," Kero muttered as he looked through the cards. You've only got the Rain, Erase, Sword, Shield, Shot, Voice, Song, Twins, Sand and… uh… uh-oh… the Light and the Dark," he said hesitantly.
"What do you mean 'uh-oh'," I narrowed my eyes suspiciously.
"Um… you may not be able to handle the Light and Dark yet…," he mumbled. "But hey! Look on the bright side! At least you only have 11 cards to capture," he offered.
Sakura was about to reply when she heard footsteps. "Come on! Let's get outta here first!" she said, grabbing Kero along with her. But unfortunately, she didn't notice 1 card had dropped out…
