Disclaimer: I don't own the Cardcaptor/Cardcaptor Sakura characters but the story line is mine.
Hazards In Hong Kong
Syaoran and Melin were in the library in the Li mansion finishing up there studies given to them but their at home teachers. Every weekday they had lessons followed by many hours of training before having the rest of the evening to their selves unless Yelan had something else for them to do.
At the time Syaoran's mind wasn't on his work. Instead it was on his beloved Cherry Blossom. He had asked the elders and his mother many times in advance for a break to Japan to help celebrate Sakura's sweet sixteen. Each time he had been declined and reminded of his duties to the clan. He had felt lucky that his mother at least let him and Melin buy her gifts and send them to her via Eriol, but he still wished her could see her for just a little while to know how she was doing. All of a sudden his stiffened and looked up just a evil aura descended upon the room. Slowly he rose and reached for his pendent and transformed it into his sword. Melin seeing this also jumped up into a fighting stance.
"What is it Syaoran?" she asked glancing around the room.
"I don't know but it's not good," he responded also waiting for some clue.
"Who would be stupid enough to attack the Li Mansion?" she asked.
"I don't know but whoever they are they are powerful. Hurry and bring my mother and the elders," he said. Melin nodded.
"That will not be necessary Xiao-lang," said Yelan coming into the room with several older men. She lifted her fan out in front of her and started an incantation.

Bring that is evil
In to the light
All of a sudden there was a bright flash that swept the room from top to bottom when the light finally cleared on the other side of the room floated a figure. It was a woman with luscious curves that were scantly covered by the skimpy red strapless leather dress that hugged her body to the hips where it loosened to her ankles and had a split from bottom to her upper thigh. Her air was a coal black as were her glowing eyes. When she smirked she showed fanged teeth.
"Well that was impressive," she said.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Yelan asked in her strong voice.
"Oh yes how silly of me to forget to introduce myself. I am Blanca Mirkosu, Lord Raikash's General," she said with a mock bow.
"That doesn't explain what you're doing here," Syaoran growled.
"Oh well as to that earlier my Lord attacked the home of the Card Mistress but she escaped with her little friend we thought that this is where she had come, but I don't sense her here so let her know that we have her family and guardians and if she doesn't had over the Crystal Tear that Raikash will kill them," she said.
"Why do you think Sakura has it?" Syaoran asked looking quiet pale.
"Because it was told in the prophesy," she said simply.
"What prophesy?" Melin asked.
"You find out," she said with a smirk. Syaoran looked to his mother.
"Mother," was all he said.
"You know that we have been monitoring magic in Japan sense you left there and have come up with some interesting developments," she said.
"Mother just tell us what you know," he growled lightly only cause it was his mother.
"The Card Mistress's powers have grown impressively in the last few years to where even at this age she has exceeded the point Clow Reed was when he died. Also it seems that her cousin has also released an aura of her own. It is still so small not even the Card Mistress or her guardians can sense it yet and it also seems that Melin has also released one I was waiting until she noticed the changes herself to tell her but it seems like fate has taken another turn," she explained. Syaoran and Melin both looked surprised.
"I have magic?" Melin asked. Yelan nodded.
"But it is up to you to find your powers," she told the young woman. Melin nodded.
"Now what is this prophecy she was talking about?" Melin asked.
"Until now we had believed it to be only a myth but now I see we were wrong," said an elder in emerald monkish robes.
"Well what does it say?" Syaoran asked heatedly. Yelan sighed and began reciting it.
The one chosen by Clow shall also be my chosen.
It would have proved itself twice but must do so thrice more.
The challenges before now were paved in time.
The ones to come are new and more challenging.
I am afraid help will be scarce due to the vast evil of our foe.
Hope will ally with Knowledge then they with Strength.
All of which to preserve the Light of Love.
Through all else the Crystal Tear must go unbroken.
For with it and the Key it will unlock the door to the enemies defeat…
"What does that mean?" Syaoran asked. His mother and the elders shrugged their shoulders.
"No one ever looked into it to check?" said a elder in ruby robes.
"What does it matter it does not involve us?" said another elder this time Melin, Syaoran and Yelan looked as if they were going to snap.
"It doesn't there for the Li Clan will not get involved," said the first.
" Are you daft?" Melin yelled her ruby eyes igniting. Everyone stepped away form her and away from the intense heat that was coming from the girl. "Not only is my best friends involved but so are we you can not stand there and say we are not," she said her aura twirling around her as if she was on fire.
"You both will respect our wishes and not interfere in what is not ours to interfere in," said an elder in sapphire robes.
"Like hell we will," Melin growled thrusting a hand down to her side at once a flame irrupted from it scorching the plush rug under her yet she was not burned only shocked and surprised at her own actions.
"Well Melin you seem to have the power of flame," said Yelan. Melin shook off her surprise.
"It doesn't matter the prophecy says we will help," she said cooling down after her outburst. Everyone looked at her dumbly making her sigh. "It said Hope with ally with Knowledge it not to hard to know that 'Hope is Tomoyo and 'Knowledge'; is Eriol," she explained. Yelan caught on.
"And when it said that they would ally with Strength it meant Syaoran and yourself," she said. Melin nodded.
"So obviously Sakura and Tomoyo when to Eriol," said Syaoran and soon they will come here. Raikash just didn't depict the words as people only words so he knew my connection to Sakura and came here first expecting her to be here," Syaoran put together.
"Right," said one of the elders in dawning.
"Excuse us elders but we have to prepare places for them," said Yelan brushing past them with Melin and Syaoran in tow, she let them go when they reached her rooms.
"We may have a problem," she said. Syaoran and Melin looked alarmed.
"If they checked here that means to things. It means they don't know where she is but they do know her friends," she said.
"So you think they might check other places?" Syaoran asked. Yelan nodded.
"If they are indeed with Eriol and he knows about everything then it means that they were unable to crack the riddle about Hope, Knowledge, and Strength or else they would have already been here," she explained.
"And that means they could check Eriol's place," Melin said. Yelan nodded.
"I going to send you both there to pick them up and bring them here and while you are gone I'm going to put a shield up about the grounds that will keep them out if they do come back," she said pulling out her fan again.

In a bright light both Syaoran and Melin were gone. Yelan turned on her heal and went to the elders to demand them to add their powers to the shield that would hopefully protect them all until they could figure out all this about a Crystal Tear.
