Sept 12th PM

I woke up from the rain this morning. I guess it didn't stop from last night. I heard a low rumble of thunder. I saw Syaoran stand over me. His eyes didn't look happy and lustful like they did last night, they looked sad and full of grief.

"I have some bad news, Hana." That's what he started calling me after last night. It means 'Flower'.

Syaoran led me downstairs.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Syaoran just kept walking down the steps. When he was at the end of the steps, he looked at me.

"What?" I asked again.

Syaoran pointed at the table.

"Oh no. Please, no" I ran to the table. My dad was there, his glasses askew, his face in shock, and red marks all over.

I burst into tears. My face was in my hands. I didn't know what to do. I have lost 3 people in less than a few months. My brother, Tomoyo, now my Dad.

"Hana?" Said Syaoran. "Come look at this."

I walked over to where Syaoran was. Sniffling hard, I tried not to let my emotions get the best of me. Syaoran already saw me cry, and I wanted to be brave.

"It's a card." Said Syaoran.

I looked at it. The image girl with spiky hair resided that card.

"The Shot card." Said Syaoran. Suddenly, a look of fear spread across Syaoran's face. "Oh, shit. I said it's name."

When you say The Shot, it suddenly comes to life. And no sooner than Syaoran said 'The Shot' it came to life. It started towards Syaoran.

"Oh no you don't!" I yelled at the shot. "Syaoran, touch the keychain!"

Dodging the shot, he quickly put his hand on the heart. Slowly, The heart turned into a staff.

"FREEZE!" I yelled, throwing the card in the air. But then something different happened. Instead of The Freeze going to attack the shot, a red light shone from the staff. Knowing what do, I aimed at The Shot and a stream of ice came from my staff, hitting The Shot. It turned to ice, and fell to the ground.

"Interesting." Said Syaoran. "Thanks, Hana."

Another rumble of thunder could be heard from the distance.

"It's really raining hard." I said, but Syaoran wasn't paying attention. He was looking alert.

"I sense something." He said.

I rested my head on his shoulder. "Syaoran, I think we should have a day of non magic, if we can help it."

Syaoran stroked my head. "Aishiteru, Hana"

"Aishiteru, urufu"

We went out side to stand in the rain.

"I love the rain." I whispered to Syaoran.

"It's beautiful" He whispered back.

After a while or so, we headed back to my room. On my dresser was a Clow Card.

"Syaoran!" I said "A card, and a note!"

"The Mirror" He said. "What does the note say?"

"'I think you'll need this. The next challenge will be harder than anything. A new card has been created.'"
