Chapter 4



"Don't worry!" The emerald eyed girl pleaded with him. "We're not going to hurt you!"

Clow frowned at her "Why should I believe you? Those two creatures of yours tried to take me captive!"

The emerald eyed girl sighed. "They're only trying to help you!"

Clow was about to say something, but then the two creatures came running up. "Sakura!" Keroberos yelled to the emerald eyed girl "You won't believe who that boy is!"

Sakura looked slightly confused, so Kero continued "That's Clow Reed!" He said excitedly "When he was a child I mean! This was before he made yue and I or the cards!"

Sakura looked at Yue, then Kero, then Clow. "Is this true?" She asked Yue

"Yes mistress... this is the child that our master was when he was younger..." Yue said slowly, almost as if he was trying to convince himself that this was all happening.

Sakura sighed again, then looked at Clow "If you don't mind... you're going to have to stay at my house until we can find a way to get you home ok?"

"I wouldn't mind a place to stay... but I don't want to go home, not ever" Clow said coldly, but there was a hint of sadness in his voice. "I.... there is nothing left for me there...."

Yue walked over to him, and hugged him. "It will be ok young master... please, don't try to think about the bad times."

This sudden outwards show of emotion from Yue shocked Sakura and kero, but they knew that Yue felt that it was his duty to protect his master, however young he was...

As they came within sight of the Kinomoto residence, two people came running up to Sakura. One of them was female and had long raven black hair. The other was male and had short chestnut brown hair. "Are you guys ok?" The boy asked.

"We are fine... there was only a few minor setbacks..." Yue said as he looked over at Clow. This made Clow blush, embarrassed.

"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you earlier..." He said as he bowed.

"Who is this?" The boy said quickly.

"Li, I would like you to meet Clow" Sakura said.

Li looked over at Clow... "Wha!- What? Clow? Are you sure Sakura? This boy is nothing like the infamous Clow Reed..."

Sakura merely smiled and nodded her head.

Clow looked around at the group "Why am I so famous?" He thought to himself "Did I do something important a long time ago?"

There was no time to think about it anymore though, for Sakura had took off at a run towards the school. "I sense something guys!" She yelled back at them as she ran.

Once they had reached the school, everything seemed quiet. Sakura began to walk towards the building, Clow followed her. "Please... stay back. I don't want something to happen to you..."

But before Clow could take another step, a great blizzard began to blow. Everyone tried to shield themselves from the cold blasts of snow, but it was no use. "This is crazy!" Li yelled, trying to be heard over to heavy wind. "It's the middle of summer!"

Sakura used her staff by sticking it in the ground, to keep herself from being blown away. "This must be...." She then looked over at Clow, then back to Li. "This must be.... well..... Clow's magic..."

"No way..." Clow said in surprise "I'll never be THIS good! Not ever!"

"Yes... you will..." Yue said calmly "This isn't even close to what you will be capable of doing once you grow up..."

"Listen guys! We can talk about this later! Right now we need to stop this blizzard!" Sakura slowly made her way to the center of the court yard. Suddenly small snowmen jumped up from the snow. "Wha!" Sakura said as she backed up a little.

The snowmen began to throw snow balls at her at a rapid pace. Sakura ran as fast as she could, but soon she fell to the ground, covered in snow. "I've had enough of this!" Sakura screamed angrily. She then took out the snow card. "I call upon the power of my star! Ancient forces near and far! Snow card discard your former might and draw your power from my light! Snow card!" She yelled, as the card changed into a pink colored one. The spirit of the card came out. "Snow card! Make all the snow disappear!"

All the snow and snowmen began to dissolve into nothing. Leaving Sakura, Li, Kero, Yue, Tomoyo, and Clow standing once again in the school yard alone. "He's gone..." Sakura whispered, almost trance like. "He left once the snow was destroyed..." She then turned to Yue "Will we ever get to see him?"

"I don't doubt it Mistress..." Yue said as he looked up at the moon. "I think it will be very soon..."

There was a moment of silence, then Sakura spoke again "I... I have to go back...." They all looked at her when she said it. She then continued. "I have to ask him..."

Clow walked over to her "If you're going, then I'm going too. I want to see who I'll become..." He smiled at her. It was a comical smile meant to make her laugh, and it did. She laughed happily, forgetting their troubles for the time being...
