A.N: I know this seems to be a strangely written and a bit bland, but once I pass what was in the original RP, it will get better! Unfortunately, there are several more chapters to go until that happens.

I've got a feeling this is going to be a long story… .

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original characters (Kero, Sakura, Tomoyo, Li etc), or the original plotline. As this was originally a role-play on the characters and some of the storyline and words belong in a way to their creators, through I've made many changes, they are still essentially the same!

Many thanks to those creators, including Hiryu-chan (the owner of CCS: The Next Generation).

Chapter Two: First Capture

The previous day's sunny weather did not last. Li Kyozuki woke up feeling cold and walked over to close his open window. It was unusual to have such a cold spell in this season but it did not bother him. Instead he climbed back into the comfort of his bed, making himself a cocoon of his blankets.

Considering his long family line, he did not suspect the goings on while he slept. Had he been awake enough he would have realised that what he had been sensing the last couple of days was starting just a few blocks away.

His mother looked out the window, knowing that something important was happening.

His father stood beside her and nodded.

"They've been released, alright"

"Yeah. It might happen tonight. Kero keeps talking about how the weather is just like some card and he's always upset when he looks out the window. I'm really nervous Natsumi!" Kimika said tensely into the phone. She inched over to the window, noticing that there were large gusts of wind forming. Kero sat on the sill, staring into the landscape.

"It's happening again," Kero whispered quietly. Kimika gave him a puzzled look.

"Why is it so windy?" asked Kimika. She sighed.

"Natsumi? Is it quite windy where you live?" Kero asked, talking into the phone, squished into Kimika's cheek.

Natsumi laughed hearing Kimika's voice change into Kero's and pulled back the curtain next to her chair.

"Well, it's rather dark out, I'll have to open the window..." she said, pulling back the lock and shoving open the window. A huge wind then stalked inside pushing her to the ground.

"Yeah, you could say it's windy" Natsumi said, shoving the window back in place.

"I don't remember it being so windy before..."

Kimika looked down at Kero and sighed.

"It's a Clow card isn't it Kero-chan?" she said with a sinking feeling. Kero turned to her and nodded.

"I sure it's The Windy. The Windy is known to make gusts of wind and stop proper wind from coming."

Kimika sighed, took a deep breath, and then drew on a serious expression. Turning back into the phone she said,

"Nat-chan, I'm going to capture that card!"

She put the star necklace around her slim neck and started at herself in the mirror. It reflected a pretty, thin girl with big blue eyes and a mass of blonde hair going down her back. She was tall and looked nervous in her usual khaki tan pants and her three oranged star-ed black shirt. She turned away from the mirror to see Kero looking pensive out the window.

"So how do I get this wand thing to its original size?" asked Kimika of Kero. Kero smiled and told her to stand in the middle of the room. Kimika flashed him a wary glance and obeyed.

'What does this have to do with anything?'

"Now, all you have to do say 'Release!'"

"'Release'?" Kimika asked. Kero just nodded.

"Release!" Kimika yelled. Before her the start pendant twitched and became a long pink staff, with an encircled gold star at the top. Along the circle two little white wings flapped at the sides, again like Kero's. Kimika gripped onto the wand and touched the little wings.

"Wow...that was...cool..."

"When you capture cards you have to use your Star Wand and say to the Card 'The So-and-so Card, show me your true form! Return to your original form! So-and-so!' Then if all goes well, the card will be sealed once again!" continued Kero. Kimika looked at her wand again.

"Ah...Kero-chan...how do I...turn it back...into the necklace?" Kimika asked nervously. Kero told her and she turned it back. Looking up she saw a serious Kero looking at her from eyelevel in the air.

"Are you ready?"

Kimika nodded. Taking another deep breath she walked down the stairs and opened the door. She was glad her parents had left her alone tonight. There was noway they would have let her out on such a night, so late. Looking around she realised something had changed drastically.

"The wind stopped!" Kero said, alarmed. "The Windy must be near by."

Suddenly, a huge gust of wind came and pushed Kimika to the ground.

"Ugh..." Kimika uttered as she got up, "I don't believe this card likes me..."

Kyozuki shot up from his sleep. He could feel an intense vibe now, distracting him from sleep. Outside the wind pounded his window, trying to get in. He could already see a tiny crack forming. Dad was not going to be happy.

"I've never seen weather like this...I've never felt this way before...it...must be time"

Kyozuki shifted out from his bed and changed his clothing to one not unlike his father's had been, except red for it's base colour.

He knew mother and father would disapprove of his leaving, but it had to be done. He was going to carry on the 'tradition'. He sighed and gently opened his first floor window and jumped out onto the varanderah outside. Closing his eyes he mentally judged the position of the Card and went to follow it.

Kimika tried to pedal faster on her bike as the wind attempted to knock her down and distract her. She had asked Kero why they weren't capturing the wind that was attacking her here; his only answer was that it wasn't the "core". So, Kimika kept going to her undefined destination.

Around her the weather was uncontrollable, you would have to be mad to go out. Kimika wondered if she was crazy. Then realised that wasn't the only crazy thing that had happened to her lately.

"Hey, sir! You better get to shelter! These winds are only going to get worse!" yelled out Kimika to the dark male figure ahead of her. Soon, she whizzed past the person, only to be swept up by a large wind and carried away. Her bike shot past her, landing in the old playground where she and Natsumi used to play as young kids. Kimika could just make it out, lying atop the large blue penguin slide's crown. The wind that had carried her off had developed into a tornado. Kimika could tell where Kero was. All she could hear was the rush of wind. It was like one of those washing machine rides at the Show, except faster and more violent. Kimika always screamed on those rides, she supposed she was screaming now. It also didn't help that she always wanted to vomit on those rides...

Kimika suddenly took a turn away from the tornado, going headfirst into a wooden fence. Kimika felt dizzy and spent the next few moments, rubbing her head and vomiting, surprised that she wasn't unconscious and that there wasn't any blood.

She looked up and saw that the tornado had grown; taking in all objects around it and was coming straight for her!

'If I don't do something now, I won't be the only one to get hurt!'

Kimika took a deep breath and pulled out her Star Key, turning into the Star Wand. It felt right in her hands, made for her, her right hand gripping it near the top, her left hand near the bottom. She stood facing the tornado, the golden circle under her feet, as she chanted. She needn't have asked Kero about them earlier...they just came out naturally.

"The Windy Card, show me your true form! Return to your original form Clow Card! Windy!" Screamed Kimika. She pushed to hold her stance as the wand started to seal the card. Gold and stars flashed everywhere, but she held on tight to the wand.

'I can do this!'

A beautiful transparent woman smiled at her and pulled itself into the card. Kimika suddenly became aware of her weakness and fell back. Upon opening her eyes again, she found everything was still, through messy, and inside her hand laid a very delicately designed yellow card. Kimika recognised as the card she had held when she opened the Sakura box.

"I did it!" Kimika yelled, struggling to get up. She saw Kero fly over to her, a wide grin placed upon his face.

"You sure did, kid! I'm proud of you! Then again, once the Windy saw you were the Cardcaptor she stopped fighting and just went back to the card...so all you really did was seal her..."Kero musing, as Kimika's face rose to a deep infuriated red.

"I JUST WASTED NEARLY A WHOLE NIGHTS SLEEP, NEARLY GOT KILLED, LOST MY BIKE AND ALL I DID WAS SEAL IT?" Kimika yelled.

"You'll get over it. Besides, the Windy is a she..."

Kimika sighed. It wasn't worth yelling. She just wanted to go home and sleep now.

"Still, you managed to convert it from a Sakura Card back to a Clow card...that's gotta be a feet all in it's self!" Kero said smiling.

Kimika was suddenly overcome by worry, as the first rays of light shone through the misty would-be morning. Kero didn't understand her sudden change in emotion, especially after he'd complimented her.

"What's wrong Ki-chan?" he asked concerned. Maybe she wasn't ready for the task ahead of her. Sakura had been, but all Sakura had to do in her first capture was seal the cards. Kimika had to change them too.

"I have to get home! Mum's going to wake up soon! They'll notice I'm gone!" Kimika said, as she worked up 'second wind' and ran past Kero.

"Wait!" Kero said, rushing after her, "I'm hungry!"

Well, that was my first go at a battle. You'll have to excuse the cards if they're a bit OOC sometimes, but I try to keep it like it was.

R&R!
