**Disclaimer: Come now, if I did own Card Captor Sakura, would I really be
sitting here writing a disclaimer? I think not...**
Welcome to Chapter 2. Chapter 1 was slightly confusing, however hopefully Chapter 2 will clear everything up (or confuse you more...). That's why I was so eager to post both at the same time so as not to lose or confuse readers. I hope I made a good decision. Anyway, enjoy the story and don't forget to review! *bow*
Wishing Isn't Enough
Chapter 2
Li sat up and pulled off the blanket on his legs. He could feel his hands trembling and the cold sweat on his forehead. He reached up and felt the tears that were sliding down his cheeks.
It took him a moment to figure out where he was. Li stood up and walked over to his desk where his sword and Lasin board lay. With trembling hands, he reached out and touched the sword and Lasin board, just to reassure himself.
Li heard the sound of footsteps coming down the hall. He hastily wiped away the sweat and tears on his face with the sleeve of his pajamas. The door opened behind him, allowing a sliver of grayish light to enter his dark bedroom. Li turned around and saw the silhouette of his mother in the doorway.
"Li, are you okay?" said his mother as she entered the room and sank into a chair.
"Yes, Mother, I'm fine now," replied Li, trying to keep his voice steady.
"Did you have another nightmare about Sakura?" asked she with a voice of concern.
"Yes," echoed he, bewildered. "How did you know it was about Sakura?"
Li's mother replied softly, "You shouted out her name. Listen, Li, I think your dream may be a warning about something that has happened or will happen. It is your duty as a descendent of Clow Reed to protect the mistress of the cards."
"Right," said Li, "I'll leave for Japan tomorrow afternoon."
His mother nodded and, with a gentle smile, left the room. Li lay back down and stared at the dark, almost invisible, ceiling.
'I'm coming, Sakura. Don't worry.'

Eeks! This chapter is even shorter than the first! Gomen. The chapters get longer and the story gets funnier. Please bear with me. ^^ I estimate that Chapter 3 will be up in about a week, assuming I don't: a) get lazy b) get a ton of homework or c) neglect this week's tasks and have to do them next weekend. Well, please review and be sure to visit me again! Arigato! *bow*
