"RINGGGG!" Li woke up as he heard the alarm clock and got ready for school again. 'Yesterday was sure rough...'
Li strapped on his backpack and walked next to Cherry. "Good morning!" said Li with a grin. "I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU LOCKED ME INSIDE A BIRD CAGE! GET ME OUT RIGHT NOW!" Li just headed toward the front door
ignoring Cherry's yells. "LLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Li took the elevator down to the 1st floor again. This time
he didn't see the hooded boy. As Li started walking toward school, he saw a certain boy he really hated. "Eriol..." Li
really despised Eriol especially since it seemed like Eriol was sort of hitting on Sakura when he first moved here.
"Eriol what are you doing in this part of town?" "Nothing. Can't a guy just do some sight seeing before going to
school?" "I don't know what you're up to, but you better leave Sakura out of it!" "Why?" Li's face suddenly turned
slightly red. "Because... um... well... she's a good friend! Yeah! That's it!" "Eriol simply smiled and walked away.
'The nerve of that guy...' thought Li.
Back in school...
Li arrived at his classroom fairly early as usual, and blushed slightly again as Sakura came in. "Ohayu Tomoyo-
chan! Ohayu Li-Kun!" Sakura looked really cheerful. "Well Onii-Chan's night shift was rescheduled to tonight, and
so did our little celebration!" Suddenly Li snapped out of his slight blush and dreamy nervous look and spoke.
"What do you mean rescheduled?" "Don't you remember? The party was canceled 2 days ago. Kero told you didn't
he?" "Oh he told me alright... heh heh heh heh..." Li had an evil grin on his face while thinking of a million ways he
could chop Kero's head off. (You really don't want to make this guy mad you know?) "Li-Kun? Is something
wrong?" asked Sakura. "Nothing!" "Anyways, come to my house at 8:00 like we planned it last time! I'll tell Yue
about it, and Tomoyo you ask Eriol..." Li suddenly stood up looking mad. "Why do we have to invite him?"
"Because he's our friend and he knows about the cards!" said Sakura angrily. Li sat back down slowly sweat
dropping.
After class...
Li again just stared at Sakura until he couldn't see her anymore, and started walking back home again. 'I can't
believe that stupid stuffed animal lied to me about the party! When I see him again, he's going to pay big time!' Li
reached his apartment door after walking a while, and went in. He saw Cherry in his room inside the cage he
trapped her in, trying to ignore him as much as she can. "Hey Cherry." said Li as he was walking toward her.
"Hmph!" Cherry continued to ignore Li. "Listen, I'm sorry for locking you up like this, but you have to know how
to respect other people's stuff." Cherry still didn't look at Li. "I know. I'll make it up to you. I don't have to be
anywhere till 8, and it's only 4 so..." Cherry finally looked at Li slowly. "We can both get out of this room and I'll
show you around town! I'll even let you see what a cherry fruit tastes like!" "EEEEEWWWWW!" said Cherry.
"Hmm? How in the world would you know what a cherry would taste like? Wei's allergic to them so we never
have them in the house." Li looked at Cherry suspiciously. "No! Seriously, I don't know what I'm talking about.
Heh heh..." Cherry sweat dropped. "Okay... anyways come on!" Li opened the cage Cherry was trapped in. "You can
come with me in this backpack." Cherry nodded and went inside Li's backpack. Li left the apartment and walked to
a nearby ice cream shop. He sat down in a pretty remote table and gently put his backpack on the table. "K Cherry.
You can at least stick your head out. I got something called a sundae! You'll love it." On the table was a glass
bowl, inside the glass bowl there was vanilla icecream topped with hot fudge, and on top of all that there was... a
cherry. "You see this little red thing right here? This is a cherry. Their actually really sweet and delicious." Cherry
started to look very sweaty and nervous. "Oh come on Cherry! You'll never know what they taste like unless you
try them." Cherry slowly grabbed the cherry on top of the sunday and started putting it in her mouth slowly. 'Oh my
gosh! I can't believe I have to do this again...' Cherry chewed very fast and swallowed.Cherry's face turned blue, and
she did the anime crying. "You like it that much huh? Hang on. Stay in the backpack for a minute." Cherry did what
Li told her to and put her head inside Li's backpack. A few seconds later Li came back with a bowl full of cherries.
"Ok Cherry. You can just stick your head out again so you can eat these." Li thought he was doing Cherry a huge
favor, but to Cherry it was her worst nightmare. "Well, what are you waiting for? Eat as much as you want." 'Mr.
Li-Kun probably thinks I love Cherries... only if these things weren't so expensive and only if Mr. Li-Kun hadn't
bought them...' tought Cherry as she rememred the price tag at the grocery store. Cherry slowly grabbed a cherry
fruit and right when shewas about to put it in her mouth, a specific girl with her purse came in the icecream store
and spotted Li. "Uh-oh... It's Sakura! Quick hide in the backpack!" Cherry got inside the backpack dropping the
cherry she almost had to eat. 'You're a life saver Miss Sakura...' Soon Sakura sat down in the same table as Li. "I
didn't expect to find you here Li-Kun." said Sakura. "Well um... I just had a strange craving ok?" Suddenly Sakura
stared at the bowl of cherries. "You actually like these things? They taste terrible." Li put aside the bowl of cherries
at the side of the table. "So Sakura, why are you here?" said Li. "Well Kero just had to have some icecream today."
Sakura put her purse on the table. "K Kero, you can at least stick your had out so you can eat some icecream. As
Kero put his head out of the purse, Cherry who was looking through a hole inside Li's backpack couldn't help
speaking out. "OH MY GOSH! KERO IS SO CUTE!" said a very high and girlie voice. Sakura and Kero both
stared at Li's sweat dropping and their eyes being dots, thinking Li had said that. Li picked up his backpack, and
ran into the icecream store bathroom blushing like crazy. "What was that all about Cherry?" said Li angrily. "I'm so
sorry Mr. Li-Kun. It was an accident..." Cherry started to cry inside the backpack. Li who saw Cherry's face and
couldn't help but trying to comfort her since Cherry was based on Sakura's form after all. "Um... It's alright. It was
just an accident after all..." Suddenly Cherry snapped out of her crying face and looked cheerful. "Good! Ok, first of
all I hate cherries! So stop buying those stupid expensive things so I don't have to eat them! 2nd, the bunny desktop
stays... Hey!" Li who was angry again stuffed Cherry back inside the backpack. Li got out of the bathroom and
sneaked out of the icecream store while Sakura wasn't looking. "K Cherry, you can stick your head out." Cherry
stuck her head out. "Alright, enough fooling around after that incident... Now you're going to help find the cards!
You are the guardian of the Sakura cards so you should be able sense them right?" Cherry let out a big smile.
"Yep!" "Good, then let's start looking!"
Later that day...
"Return to the guise you were meant to be in, Sakura Card!" A blue aggresive fish-like girl seperated into many
waves of water and turned back into a card. "Whew!" Li and Cherry both sat down in penguin park next to king
penguin while panting. "Well I think capturing 10 cards is enough for today..." said Li. "You think? You should
know! I'm exhausted!" Li stopped panting and smiled toward Cherry. "You did good today. You were terrific
sensing out cards and being bait." Cherry glared at Li. "Next time you be bait!" Suddenly the cardcaptor and his
guardian heard the school clocktowerbell ring. As Li glanced over to see what time it was, he sweat dropped. "It's
8:00! I have to go to Sakura's house! Cherry, go back into my apartment room. You don't have to stay in the cage
anymore, but plz don't touch my stuff!" Li dashed off to Sakura's house at his world record speed again. 'Wow...
Mr. Li-kun runs really fast...'
At Sakura's house...
"Ding dong!" Li was wearing casual clothes and carrying nothing. (Mainly because he didn't enough time to get
ready.) "Who is it?" "Li." The door was opened by Tomoyo. "Oh hello Li-Kun. Come on in!" Li stepped inside the
house and found Kero, Tomoyo,and Eriol with his 2 companions."Hey Tomoyo, where's Sakura and Yue?" asked
Li. "Yue went back to Yukito's house. He got kind of mad that we called on him just to have fun with us." said
Tomoyo. "Ok... what about Sakura?" Everybody faced the ground grimly. "Sakura's in the balcony just moping.
Turns out something happened earlier today between her and Yukito." said Eriol. Li had a concerned look on his
face and walked upstairs to the balcony. As he went on the balcony, he saw Sakura with her arms curled on the f
ence of the balcony crying softly. "How could I have been so naive..." murmered Sakura. "Hey..." Sakura turned
around to see who itwas. "Oh Li-Kun..." Sakura turned back to the balcony fence."Li-Kun, you came here to have
fun. I shouldn't get in the way for that." Li put one hand on Sakura's shoulder. "Want to talk about it?" said Li.
"Well um..." "It's about Yukito isn't it?" said Li. "How did you know?" said Sakura. "Tomoyo told me. What
exactly happened after you bought Kero icecream?" said Li. "Well..." Sakura told Li exactly what happened. After
she left the icecream store, she found Yukito at the park. Sakura approached Yukito and started talking with him.
Finally after a long deep conversation, she finally told him. "I love you Yukito-san" Yukito answered Sakura.
"Butin what way exactlySakura?" Sakura stared at Yukito with aquestioned face. "Do you love me like a close
and dear friend or family member, ordo you love me more in a romantic way?" Sakura looked down on the ground
thinking. 'I feel the same way for Yukito as I do for Touya and Tomoyo-Chan, but Touya was my brother and
Tomoyo was a girl, (let's just not bring the topic of some girls liking other girls here) so I thought I loved Yukito in
a romantic way...' Suddenly, she started to cry."Sakura... you don't have to feel bad about this at all. Someday,
you'll find one special person that you'll love the most."Like that, Yukito rode his bike and gave Sakura one last
piece of candy. "And that's what pretty much happened..." Sakura almost started to cry again. "I'm so stupid and
naive! It took me all this time just to find out my feelings for one person that I thought I loved the most..." Li
looked at Sakura concerningly again. "Don't cry Sakura... you really do have nothing to feel bad about. I kind of
went througha similarsituation..." "Hoe?" Li started telling his story. It was about a couple months ago. He had a
strange crush on Yukito as well. "At first I tried to resist my feelings for him because I didn't want to be gay... But
as time went on I couldn't help but accept the fact I actually liked him..." He told Sakura how he eventually gave
Yukito a teddy bear but realized he was attracted to him only because of Yue's powers. "Yue told to look deep
inside my heart and find out who I really loved..." He told Sakura how after that conversation he no longer felt
anything for Yukito."Unlike you however, I was actually kind of glad that I wasn't really gay or anything..." Sakura
and Li both laughed for a while. "Thanks for telling me that Li-Kun. I feel a lot betther now..." Li blushed slightly
and looked away. "So did you find out?" asked Sakura. "Huh?" "You know, the person you really loved." said
Sakura smiling. "Well... Um..." Li blushed. "It's okay Li-Kun. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to yet."
Sakura stood up. "Come on. Let's go meet everyone else." Li followed Sakura back downstairs. "Sakura..." said
Tomoyo as she saw Sakura coming down the stairs. "It's okay Tomoyo-Chan. Syaoran-Kun and I talked for a while
and I feel much better now." Li blushed as Sakura called him Syaoran-Kun. "Did you... just... call Li, Syaoran-
Kun?" said Tomoyo.Sakura blushed slightly. "Well... um... come on! We should be celebrating right now!"
Meanwhile...
'I can't believe I have to work through the entire day, and the entire night!' thought Touya as he was cleaning the
table with a wet sponge. 'I could've sworn there was fire... wait a minute... a fire that you can run through and not
feel anything? It must have been some stupid prank with lights! When I find out who's responsible, that person is so
dead!' "Crack!" A very angry Touya accidently snapped the table in half due to pushing down on the sponge too
hard. "Touya! That table is coming out of your paycheck!" said the boss. Touya started to do the anime crying.
