Hi, guys. *clears throat* Before I start my fic, I wanna say that the updated chapters may not exactly be good as I was typing tons of chapters at one go... -_-;; Anyways, to save time, let's get straight to the fic!

Recap of Previous Chapter: (In case anyone had forgotten, since I took so long to update it... -_-;;)

"I didn't even know Clow Reed had a sister. And what do you mean when you said that Sakura is a clone?" she asked curiously.

"She's not. She's the original. Alyssa is the clone. Kimberly overheard Clow Reed talking to Yue and Kero about his death and Sakura being the one to capture the cards. She also heard him saying something about his death causing her own death too. So, she decided to do something about it. And somehow, she cast a spell to have an identical baby like Sakura once she was born," Eriol explained.

"And Tomoyo? I did not want to use my powers just now because I do not want Alyssa to know that I have powers too. I want to have the element of surprise," he said.

"So, what do we do now?" Tomoyo asked quietly.

"We wait," Eriol said.

Secrets and Being New

Chapter 5 (Finally!)
****~~****~~****~~****~~****~~
***Sakura's P.O.V***

"Whew! All these moving sure makes me tired!" I groaned, flinging myself onto my new bed. I looked over at Kero, who was already sound asleep. I could DEFINITELY do some getting use to this bed. It was so hard!

My new house was bigger than the old one. And now, there were 5 bedrooms instead of 3, like her old house. One of the extra two rooms was used as a recreation room, where there was a bookshelf, and computer games. The other was used as Touya's and dad's 'workroom'.

I looked around my new room. The walls and ceilings were painted pale pink and the walk-in closet was lime green. My new bed sheets were baby blue with stars on it. I sighed. This was so unfair. Why did Touya's boss have to send him here to work? I mean, it's not as though there isn't any other jobs in Tomodae that he can't take. He had to move all the way here!

At least Kero's here with me. And I don't have to start school until a week later, after I get settled down and look around. But it's going to be so boring without anyone to go sight-seeing with me.

I just hope things are better back at Tomodae. Only at that time, I didn't know how wrong I was... and that I was going to get a surprise call from Eriol and the rest...

***Readers' P.O.V***

"You're kidding me, right? You actually want to go over to Alyssa's house?" Tomoyo demanded.

"I want to see how exactly Alyssa looks like," Syaoran answered, determination showing in his amber eyes.

"Oh, fine. But remember, whatever you do, do NOT show your aura," Eriol warned.

"You wanna go along and see? Maybe you could hide up in a tree whilst watching me," Syaoran said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"Hey, that's not a bad idea," Eriol brightened, his eyes liting up.

"You're nuts," Syaoran sweatdropped.

"I'm serious! C'mon. Let's go!" Eriol was about to teleport all of them there when he suddenly stopped.

"Whoops! I forgot to cast the spell to hide our auras," he smiled sheepishly.

As Eriol chanted the spell, Syaoran realized that he could no longer sense Eriol's aura.

"There! Now I can use my magic without actually worrying about Alyssa finding out about my powers," he smiled contently.

Then before anyone could say anything, they found themselves teleported to the backyard of Alyssa's garden.

"Ow!" Eriol muttered as Syaoran and Tomoyo fell on top of him.

"Tomoyo, when did you gain so much weight?" Syaoran winced as Tomoyo landed on him.

"Oops! Sorry!" Tomoyo shrugged as she got off the boys.

"C'mon! Let's go hide!" Eriol said as he grabbed Tomoyo's hands and teleported them up a tree. "Let's see how Syaoran reacts when he sees Alyssa," Eriol smirked.

***Readers' P.O.V***

Alyssa was flipping through her cards when she heard the doorbell rang. She looked down from her window and saw a guy standing there. A VERY cute guy, in fact. He had deep brown eyes that reminded her of chocolate, her favourite food, and dark brown hair. In fact he was perfect, except for one small problem. His eyes looked troubled.

"Hmm... let's see what's he thinking," Alyssa smiled as she took out the Mind card.


"O Power of Reed, hear me call! Your owner, Alyssa command you, RELEASE! Mind card, put yourself to work! Release and dispel!" Alyssa commanded.

Images and words flashed through her head. The guy, kissing a girl that looked like her. Kissing that girl so passionately. Then, it turned to a room. The couple who came by just now. They were discussing something. Then, it ended, as though some magical force had shut his mind.

Alyssa frowned. What was it that kept her from reading his mind? It couldn't be anyone with magic powers, or she would have sensed the aura.

"Oh, well. She said out loud. Better not keep that guy waiting. She checked her reflection in the mirror and went down to greet him, putting on her best smile.

***Syaoran's P.O.V***

I tapped my feet impatiently. What the heck was taking the girl so long to open the door. 'Maybe there's no one at home,' I thought, feeling disappointed. I was about to walk away when suddenly, the door flung open.

I gasped. Eriol and Tomoyo were right! Alyssa really did looked exactly like Sakura. Only Sakura will never be caught dead in that hot pink halter dress.

"May I help you?" Alyssa asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Uh... I'm from around here. And thought I would just see who just moved in. And you are..." I trailed off, wanting Alyssa to confirm her identity.

"Alyssa. Alyssa Whitman," she shook my hand. Was it my imagination, or did her hand lingered there longer than it should be?

I shook off that thought.

"Um... I just remembered. I need to run some errands," I stammered. I needed to talk to Eriol, FAST!

"Oh, too bad. Maybe I'll see you around?" she asked, pouting.

"Yeah, maybe," I said distractedly as I waved.

I was almost reaching the front gate when I decided to turn to look at her again. I shivered.

Her eyes were narrowed into slits.

***Reader's P.O.V***

"Did you see the look she gave me just now?" Syaoran asked, shuddering.

"Yeah, it was weird. I know I shouldn't be surprised since she was giving us the freeze treatment when we went by just now, but somehow, I still think that since she was cloned from Sakura, she should at least at some of Sakura's nice personality, don't you think?" Tomoyo frowned.

"So, what was it that you wanted to tell us?" Syaoran asked, looking curiously at Eriol.

"Yeah, you were in such a hurry to get back here," Tomoyo looked at him expectantly.

"You guys aren't going to believe this," Eriol sighed. "Remember when I told you that Clow Reed's sister, Kimberly Reed, created 20 cards, and that the Mind card was one of them? Eriol asked.

Both Tomoyo and Syaoran nodded.

"Well, she used that card just now to try to read Syaoran's mind. And she almost found out what we were discussing just now," Eriol muttered.

"WHAT? Did you stop her?" Syaoran demanded.

"Yeah, but she found out about Sakura, and she knows that we're you friends now," Eriol mumbled.

"So, what do we do now?" Syaoran asked.

"We need to call Sakura to warn her," Eriol said grimly.
