Author's Note: Things start to heat up fast as Sakura accuses Sora for stealing her book. Kero finds Ms. Mackenzie, Sakura's Teacher, losing in her dear heart to those Heartless (…and she was one of my favorite characters on the show, too…). Li Showron has a little battle with Sora, and so does the Opposite Armor. How the hell are Sora and Li going to retrieved Sakura's Clow Book from Tokimi, the one who betrayed Li? Oh, you'll see…

Chapter 11: The Lion, the Witch, and the Opposite Armor

It was not going very well at the Avalon household. Sakura's Clow book is missing and she thought of her real culprit is her friend. She went into the guestroom with Kero to unawake Sora. But still something bugged her. Her mind is saying to wake him, but her heart is saying don't. 'Why should I wake him?' Sakura's mind starts to take over, 'I mean, why would he steal my Clow cards, I know he would never do anything to hurt me. Whatever the means, I have to trust in my own heart…' She looks at Sora as he sleeps, and her heart has chosen, "It's not him…"

"What?" Kero shouted out.

"It's not him," Sakura repeated in her sobs, "Sora would never steal my cards…" Sakura lays her head towards Sora's chest. "…My heart says it…"

"Well, my heart says he did it!" Kero said persistently.

Thanks to Kero's boisterous noise, Sora woke up suddenly. Sora looks at Sakura as her head is touching his chest. "Sa-Sakura?" Sora bewilderedly said.

Sakura sees Sora walking up. "Sora?"

When Sora looked into Sakura's jade eyes, he sees confusion and tears. Sora asked Sakura, "What happened?"

"My Clow cards and my Clow book are gone," Sakura replied as she got off of his chest.

"How did this happen?"

"Someone took it," Sakura cried and cried until her heart can't take it anymore. Sora begins to cheer her up.

Sora said to Sakura, "Don't worry, Sakura, will find it…"

"Thank you, Sora," Sakura whispered softly. Sakura put her arms around Sora in an embracement. She was all happy and full with many sorrowing tears. This is the second time that this happens. The first embrace, Sora hugs Sakura, and now Sakura hugs him. Maybe this made Sakura believe that Sora was not the culprit all long.

Somewhere Downtown…

Li was with his encounter, Tokimi. Tokimi saw the Clow book that Li has in his little hands. She was very pleased for Li, "Excellent as usual, Li. You brought me what I wanted."

"A deals a deal, right…" Li Showron said, giving the book to the goddess herself. "Now you must get me what I need."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot," Tokimi chuckled, "Sakura and the eternal happiness of seeing her, without seeing that boy, Sora. I know how to do that." Tokimi's eyes looked straight at Li's auburn eyes as her green aurora glows through her body. She touches Li on the cheeks and said, "Li, just open your heart to darkness…that is all. Think you can do it?"

"I must," Li sneered, "And then I will hurt Sora once and for all!" As his lust for anger increase, the aurora around his body glows deeper to him. His anger minted all the Heartless to come out and play at Tomoeda. Due to Li's siding with the darkness, it gives Tokimi a great big, devilish grin when she looks at her little apprentice.

Tomoeda Elementary School

After school, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Kero, Sakura, and including Madison were having a meeting behind the school building, where there is nobody watching them or at sight.

Kero begins the conversation with a question, "If I was a Clow book, were would I be?"

"If you were a Clow book, you would be in a lost and found department!" Donald replied, laughing off from his joke.

Everyone was drop dead serious, while he's the one that is fooling around.

"Donald, it's not funny," Sora said to him.

Donald stops laughing and looked at everyone else. He saw that they were all serious about this. He continues to shut up for the rest of the day.

"The library, maybe?" Madison replied.

"It's not at home, right?" Goofy asked Sakura and Kero. They were the ones that search at home.

"Sakura and I looked twice as hard at home; still we couldn't find it," Kero sighed.

"So maybe someone stole it," Sora replied.

"Yes, we thought you stole it," Kero pointed out.

"What, I would never steal anything that doesn't belong to me," Sora replied, proving his guilt.

"We know, I believed you didn't take it," Sakura smiled, then she looks at Kero in a glare, "But Kero sure did!"

"Stop covering his guilt!" Kero shouted in denial.

"Anyways, it's not one of us," said Sora, "It has got to be someone who we hate, someone who would come at night-"

A long paused came between their conversations. Then a sudden gasp enters, they all knew who the culprit really was.

"THE HEARTLESS!"

"For mindless midgets they sure can find a good way to make us very mad!" Sakura groaned, making a fist in her hands.

"Hey, why is everybody always talking about me?" Kero asked with a loud voice as usual. Everyone starts to walk off, leaving Kero behind, "Guys, where ya going?"

At Tomoeda Park

The guys were at the park, waiting for instructions from their instructor. They seem to think that Sakura lost her book at the Tomoeda Park.

"We'll split up: Donald, Goofy, and I will go to the right, and you, Kero and Madison will go to the left!" Sora commanded to Sakura. Sakura and Sora were obviously the generals around here.

"Okay!" Madison said, holding up her digital camera. She went to the left as she was ordered to.

"You got it!" Kero saluted, going to the left with Madison.

"Sora, I wish you haven't done all of this for me…" Sakura said, in a displeasing way. She's glad that Sora is helping her out finding the book, but she thinks this was too much help from him than she has suspected to be.

Sora responded back to Sakura with a grin on his face, "I must do something, because if I do nothing than I would be bored for something. And that is completely be for nothing, right?"

Sakura was still confused of what Sora said to her.At a sudden time,she started to catch on. She chuckled, "Right. See you then…" When Sakura turned around, Sora starts to imagine. He looks at her. Sora's eyes widened more as he pictures Kairi walking away in front of him.

"K-Kairi?" Sora whispered.

"C'mon, Sora!" Goofy yelled.

Sora looks towards at Goofy, "I'm coming!" He called. As he turns around, he saw Kairi was gone. Disappeared into thin air. He thought, 'Kairi was that really you?'

Sora, Donald, and Goofy took right at the park. Donald and Goofy left Sora, while Sora checks over under the penguin slide and the swingset. "Do you guys see Sakura's book?" Sora questioned. Donald and Goofy didn't respond. He turns his head around. He noticed the two were gone. "Guys?"

"You're Sora, aren't you?" said a voice on top of the penguin slide.

"Yes, but how did you know my name?" Sora asked, looking up at the slide, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" He asked. The voice of the boy said his name, "I am Li Showron. Oh and your friends, they're gone with the Heartless for a long while."

"What have you done to them?" Sora snapped a question at Li. Sora was getting very aggravated at Li since he had appeared.

"What I did to them, let me tell what you did to Sakura!" Li said, snapping and sneering back at Sora, "You think she can be lured into your charms, right?"

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying you are using Sakura for you tricks, you two-faced idiot!" Li pointed directly at Sora while he said his harsh words to him.

"Wait a minute, you're calling me two-faced?" Sora angered, "I know deep in my heart that your heart is filled with darkness, and it is telling me that you're the one that stole the Sakura's book, didn't you?"

"Oh you're good," Li replied ironically. "Now I am going to destroy you!" Li jumps down towards Sora and starts the fight out with his strong kick.

Sora dodged it from using his Hitomi keyblade to shield his physical attack. "What?"

Sora and Li went one-on-one battle with each other.

On the left side of the park, Sakura and Madison were searching for the book.

As for Kero, he started to see Ms. Mackenzie battling the Heartless on her own, in a red formal dress. 'Is that Ms. Mackenzie?' Kero thought. When the Soldier-type Heartless attacked her, Ms. Mackenzie begins to disappear. Her heart floated out of her weak body; therefore, Mrs. Mackenzie is has lost her heart. Suddenly, the Heartless takes her heart and disappears.

"Layla!" shouted Kero. Someone tapped Kero on the shoulders. Kero turned around and lookes at him in astonishment. He had long, sliver hair and blue, soft eyes. He was one of Sakura's guardians. It was Kero's friend, Yue. Yue came and tell Kero signs that she has lost her heart to the Heartless...and there was nothing that he can do about it...Kero's eyes become all burry, trying to hide back the tears. He just set back and felt useless, "I'm sorry, Layla…"

At the unappropriate time, Kero and Yue were enclosed by the Heartless.

"Aw, man, not this again!"

Yue didn't hesitate to talk, he just pulled out his sword and was ready for battle.

Back on the right side of the park, Sora and Li were fighting the battle to the death. Li was pushing back Sora with his sword, and Sora just shielded himself from his keyblade, repelling his attacks.

"Li, I did not betray Sakura, you did. You stole her cards and her book," Sora convinced him, "Believe me, what would she think of you now when she finds out that you stole her Clow cards?"

Li hesitantly react to what Sora actually said to him. Li thought that getting the Clow cards would make Sakura believed that Sora stole it, but it can also mean that he stole something very important to her, 'Clow Reed', and the whole world. Li drops his sword in defeat. "You're right…" Li finally has overcome his power over darkness. "It's my entire fault, just because I was jealous over you and Sakura."

"What do you mean you were jealous?" Sora asked.

Li blushed, "When I saw you and Sakura as a team, working together and hugging, I got-"

"A little jealous?" Sora added on.

"Yeah…"

"Seriously, it's not anything like that," Sora chuckled, "Believe me, Sakura is nice and all, but my- I think my heart is with somebody else."

"Really?" Li exclaimed.

"Yeah, she used to live with me on my island in a faraway world. I felt a connection in my heart every time I'm with her and every time she is with me. Hard to believe that she's actually a princess. And now, when we're far apart…I believe a part her is still will be with me."

"Wow, sounds like you and her are- you know?" Sora chuckles at Lei's comment. Sora afterward pulls out his lucky charm that Kairi gave him at Traverse Town in the secret cavern a year ago:

'It's my lucky charm. Make sure you bring it back to me…'

'I promise…'

"Is that a keepsake?" asked Li.

"Yeah, from her…" Sora said softly.

"The girl you were talking about?"

"She gave it to me for luck." Sora nodded, "Li, do you like Sakura?"

Li Showron started to blush like mad. He was very embarrassed. Li felt silent, giving nothing to say to Sora. "I-I like her as a friend." Li forgot about the Sakura thing and moved on into important things. He stood up dignified. Li was ready to do what's right this time for Sakura. "I should get Sakura's Clow book back. She'll be wondering were it's at."

"Good point." Sora replied. Still, he wondered if Li was just saying that to covered up that fact that he likes Sakura to death.

"Now where's Tokimi?" Li said, hiding the blushes from Sora.

"Tokimi? Who's-"

Out of nowhere, something dropped out of the sky. The two looked at the dropping object.It was Sora's encounter in Traverse Town. Opposite Armor makes his appearance in Tomoeda...

"Not him again!" Sora yelled.

"You know him?"

"It's that Heartless from Traverse Town!"

Li and Sora stared at each other seriously. Their eyes were narrowed; looking as they were ready to fight the Heartless together. Li got out his 'Lasin Board' and summon the spell: "Lightning!" Next up, Sora used his 'Ars Arcanum' attack and it actually work! Li and Sora attacked Opposite Armor from each body part.The Heartless begins to disintegrate into pieces. Its heart came out ofits body and just flew away.

After defeating the Heartless, Li received a sword upthat just came outofthe sky. "Wait a minute," he said, "This sword is designed by Clow Reed." Li looked up in the sky and sees a image of Clow Reed smiling at him. "Thanks, Clow…Now, time to retrieve the Clow book from Tokimi!"

Back on the left side of the park, Kero, who turned into his true form, Keroberos and Yue fought off all the Heartless in the area.

"Would these Heartless be a little less persistent?" Keroberos said.

"Would a bitch be a little less persistent to ask, I would not prefer to answer," Yue said.

…………………

Li was on the rooftop with Tokimi.

"Tokimi, I need that book back!" Li said to her.

"Not a chance, remember?" Tokimi replied. "A deals a deal, right?" Tokimi smirked as she held the Clow book in stingy way.

"That's it, wasn't it?" Li scorned, "You lied to me so you can get your hands on that book!"

"Wow, now you are now catching on?" Tokimi chuckled, "You're pathetic, first you loose your girlfriend and now you loose your girlfriend's book…you are obviously a horrible boyfriend."

"You know, I knew you were going to say that," Li replied, "You not very smart for an evil goddess, either."

"What! Why you little-"

"Stop!" Sora summoned his stopraga on Tokimi in an ambush. She just froze there like a statue. "Aw, you're giving the book to me? You shouldn't have!" Sora kindly snatches the Clow book out of Tokimi's hands, "Time magic, works every time."

"Come on, let's get out of here!" Li cried out.

Sora and Li jumped off the building. Leaving Tokimi stopped this whole time. In three minutes, Tokimi's time to freeze was over. Tokimi saw that Li was gone and so was the book she kept in her hands. "Blast you!" Tokimi snapped at the both of them. "I will get my hands on you, Keyblade Master!"

Later on, Sakura and Madison looked like they have lost hope sinceSakura's book was gone for sure. Sakura was really the one who was terribly upset.

"Sakura, we found your book!" Two voices warned Sakura. Sakura looked up and saw Sora and Li with the Clow book.

"You did it!" Sakura hollered, "My Clow Book and my Clow cards!"

"Look what we found…"- Madison said, as Sora sees the foot of their appearance.

Sora could not believe his eyes, "Donald! Goofy! I thought you guys were gone!"

"What happened?" Donald said in confusion.

"Uh, some crazy story," Li blurted out a lie to the two.

"Li?"

"Sakura?"

Li and Sakura looked at each other. Li, as usual, blushes every time he sees Sakura. He doesn't think of any nice words or any words to say to Sakura at all. He just immediately blushes in embarrassment. Oh well, Sakura can't wait, can she? No matter how long Li takes to reply, Sakura knows deep inside that he has a crush on her. She grins at him, and he blushes more.

Sora and Madison looked at each other with a grin on their face.

"Um, thank you- for what you did for me," Sakura responded.

"You're welcome." Li said with a blush on his face.

"Anyways, I wanna know were the keyhole is at?" Sora added.

"Keyhole?" Li asked Sora.

"Yeah…"

"I heard it from Clow Reed once, but it's been a long time since I heard about his story."

"Oh, oookkaaaaay…"

"You are searching for this so-called Keyhole," A familiar voice said.

Everyone turned to the speaker in surprise.

"Yue?" Sakura startled as she sees one of his guardians finally arriving.

"You must be one of the keyblade barriers?" Yue said to Sora, "I know where the keyhole is at?"

"THEN WHY DON'T YOU TELL US?" Everyone shouted out at Yue.

Yue closed his eyes and took a deep sigh, "The keyhole is Sakura's Clow Book…"

"My Clow Book?" Sakura questioned.

"No wonder Tokimi wanted the Clow book so bad," Li replied thoroughly.

"Tokimi?" Sakura looks at Li.

"A stupid conspiracy," Li nervously grinned.

"The keyhole…" Sora sees the keyhole on the Sakura's Star Clow Book shining. With his Hitomi keyblade, Sora's seals the keyhole, andmade this world safe and sound. Also, there were cherry blossoms coming out of the skies that bloom so beautifully. Everyone stared at it for a long time.

Meanwhile, Keroberos comes up to them and told everyone that Ms. Mackenzie's heart has been taken by the Heartless. Everyone gasped.

"Ms. Mackenzie lost her heart?" Sakura repeated the question.

"Don't everyone worry, we'll get her and her heart back," Sora said with determination. Sora is not going to let anyone be annihilated from the Heartless that easily.

"Thanks a bunch, Sora!" Keroberos thanked him for his courteousness and support.

"Oh, we would like to get you something, Sora," Sakura said as she gave him a new keyblade called, 'Cherry Blossoms'. After Sora retrived his new Keyblade in the Cardcaptors's World, a new portal to a new world has emerged.

"Sayonara!" Everyone from Cardcaptors Sakura yelled and waved at Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Come back soon!" Sakura yelled.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy walked towards the portal, and went on to a new adventure.

3. Yue is one of the guardians for Sakura, like Keroberos is. He is the one that challenge Sakura at the 'Final Judgment' to see how powerful Sakura and the other cardcaptors are. Luckily, Sakura is the only one who has passed the judgment, and claimed her title as 'Mistress of the Clow Cards'.

4. Sakura's name is Japanese for 'Cherry Blossoms'. I think that's how I made up the keyblade's name for the Cardcaptor's World.

5. Ars Arcanum: A fomidable attack. After a combo, select followup attack again for a double combo. This attack can be used right after you defeat Captain Hook in Neverland. And yeah, this attack can be only done by Sora.

6. Kairi is one of Sora's friends from Destiny Islands.

7. Layla Mackenzie isSakura's school teacher. She is also a Cardcaptor who holds the bell as her weapon.

8. Li uses his Lasin Board to attack. This board contains the elemental powers of: Lighting, Fire, Wind, and Ice.
