" Okay so which one of you is going to tell me what's going on?" said Sakura as she sat down on her bed and looked curiously from Yue to Kero.

" Alright Sakura, here's the deal. There's one more card out there that needs to be captured," replied Kero.

" Another Clow card?" asked Sakura.

" No. This is not a Clow card. However, it was created by Clow Reed," replied Yue as he gazed longingly out Sakura's bedroom window.

" Okay let me get this straight…Clow Reed created this card…but it's not a Clow card? Yue that doesn't make any sense!"

" It's because this card was not used by Clow Reed."

" Kero is right. Just as Kero and I are the guardian's of the master of the cards, there is a third Guardian."

" A third…guardian?" inquired Sakura.

" You got it! Clow Reed created the third guardian to protect the Master's protector," replied Kero.

" It protects the who and the what? Guys I am so lost," replied Sakura as she flopped onto her back on her bed.

" Listen Sakura. The third Guardian, Akira, was created to protect anyone who stood by Clow Reed. So, as you can see, Akira has returned to protect your protector," explained Yue.

" My protector? Oh! You mean Li?" said Sakura as she jumped up from her bed.

" Well, the guardian chooses her master, and yes, it appears she has chosen Li."

" The third guardian is a she?" asked Sakura.

" Exactly! And boy is she scary!" said Kero. Yue shot Kero a quick glance then looked over at Sakura.

" You need to explain this to Li. He is the one that must capture this card," said Yue.

-------------------------------------

" I have to what?" asked Li as she stood in his doorway looking out at Sakura.

" Look, it's really hard to explain. But the third guardian has chosen you to be my protector. So now, she'll be your guardian."

" And I have to capture this card? How am I supposed to do that?"

" You have to…well actually…I didn't ask about that part…" replied Sakura with a clumsy smile on her face.

Li hung his head and sighed. " Look Avalon, ask Yue and Kero what I'm supposed to do and I guess I'll try my best to do it okay?"

Li closed the door and walked back up to his room. He walked over to his window and watched Sakura walk back towards her house. " A guardian? Could it be you Aya?"

-------------------------------------

" I only have to hit her once? What are you crazy? I couldn't do it with you Yue, and this time around I don't have any Clow cards or anything! How the heck am I supposed to do this?" protested Li.

" Li, you've got other powers then the Clow cards," explained Kero.

" Alright…let's just get this over with."

Yue extended his arms straight out to his sides and closed his eyes.

" Uhh…Yue?" asked Sakura.

" Shhh Sakura…he's summoning her here," explained Kero.

" Oh!" cried Sakura as she clasped her hands over her mouth.

Suddenly there was a flash of light. Everyone shielded their eyes from the bright white light. The flash died down to reveal a woman of about Yue's height with long red hair. The bottom of her blue dress moved freely in the breeze as she opened her eyes to see who had summoned her.

" Y-Yue?" said the young woman. Her voice was gentle and delicate, and as she spoke, a shiver ran through Li's body.

" Hey Kero…" whispered Sakura. " She doesn't look scary at all? Were you joking or something?"

" Just wait for it…" sighed Kero.

" YUE!" she cried as she ran over and wrapped her arms around the guardian's neck. She nuzzled her face up against his. " Oh Yue! I missed you so much!"

" Uh...Li…now would be an excellent time to catch her off guard…" sighed Kero.

" Force know my plight! Release the light! Lightening!" cried Li as he thrust his sword in front of himself.

A shot of lightening struck the spot where the woman had been standing. However the guardian was no longer there. Li looked around frantically.

" Looking for me?" came a voice from high above. Everyone looked up to see Akira floating in the sky above them. " That was a cheap shot Li. Hmph, and I thought you were trained to be better than that…"

Li gritted his teeth and prepared himself as Akira floated gently back to the ground. He ran towards the woman and raised his sword.

" Force know my-"

With one swift movement Akira had thrown the sword out of Li's hands. Li did the only thing he could think of. He resorted to his martial arts training and began going through his moves. Akira was too quick for him; she dodged every one of his attacks.

" Tsk, Tsk Li," said Akira as she gracefully maneuvered her way out of Li's attacks. " You're pattern is too predictable! I know every move before you even make it!"

" Oh really? Well how about this one!" cried Li as he crouched down and swung his leg in a circle, tripping Akira and sending her to the ground.

" Does that count as hitting her?" asked Li directing his question to Yue and Kero.

" Maybe you should kick her in the foot or something to make sure Li!" offered Sakura.

" No, you have accomplished your task," said Akira as she stood up and brushed herself off. " You have proven yourself and so, from now one, I will be your guardian."

The young woman closed her eyes and bowed her head. White swirls of light began to wrap around her body taking shape right in front of her. Suddenly a white card appeared before Li's eyes and gently floated into his hand. He stared it for a brief moment

" The star card?" he asked.

" Yes. Just the stars watch over others, I shall watch over you."

" So do I have to use this card to summon you or something?"

" Umm…no. Actually the card's just more for show then anything else…" the woman replied smiling.

"Eh?" muttered Li and Sakura in confusion.

" Now my dear Yue…where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?" said Akira as she ran over to him.

" I'm transforming back into my original form now, Akira," he replied putting his arm out to stop her.

" No Yue!! It's been too long…couldn't we just…"

" I'M TRANSFORMING!" he cried.

" Ahh!! Wait I have to do it first!" cried Kero as he began to transform back into his original form.

" Oh…I suppose I should do it as well," muttered Akira as she began to transform herself. After her transformation was finished Li stood in shock.

" A-Ayama?" he whispered.

" Little brother…I told you we would see each other again," said the tall white haired woman with a smile.
