" Clow cards? What about those cards?" Syaoran enquired.

"I can't use them," Sakura stopped and think for a while,

" Kero chan had felt that this rain was weird and we went to check out the rain last night. I had used the 'Watery' card, but, not only was it unable to stop the attacks but also, it got swallowed up by the rain. What do you think?"

" Have you written your name on all the Clow cards?"

" Of course, I do."

"Then..."

Silence enveloped them as they pondered and not talking.

" I'm sorry. I just can't thought of any reason why the Clow cards didn't worked." Syaoran said apologetically.

" No, it's all right. Thanks for your help." Sakura gave him a cheery smile.

She was about to walk away when Syaoran beckoned her to stay.

" Nani?" She asked.

Syaoran averted his gaze and fidgeted a lot before he replied, with his voice barely audible.

" What do you feel about that Hiiragizawa guy?"

" Hoe? He's, he's nice and gentle and, mature too." Sakura blushed.

Syaoran groaned, but Sakura did not take notice of that because she was too engrossed in thinking about Eriol.

[ That guy had only came for a day and she's already falling for him.]

" Then...what do you think about me?" it took Syaoran a whole lot of guts to ask that question.

" Eh? Syaoran kun? Hn..." Sakura paused to think.

" Syaoran kun is a nice guy,"

A flame of hope is ignited in Syaoran 's heart.

" but sometimes, you can get real jumpy about some matters and your mood are unpredictable, which makes you looks frightening to people."

The flame is reduced to smoke.

[ No hope, no hope for me at all.] Syaoran thought miserably.

" But if you smiled more, I'm sure you will have a lot of friends in Tomoeda." Sakura said, and gave Syaoran a assuring smile before she walked away.

Strange to say, the flame of hope that was reduced to smoke just now had now became a raging fire in Syroran's heart.

[ So Hiiragizawa, you want to play with me, huh? I'm not going to relent. Let's see who can win Sakura's heart first.] Syaoran thought determinedly.
