A/N: Hi! I feel so happy that I have gotten 6 reviews! It warms my heart! Lol- Well, here's the next chapter! Just like you asked. Oh and I need 4-6 more reviews to update! (It depends on how far I've gotten writing-) Oh, the song I have here is Chaos by Masami Okui

It was the next day and Yuriko woke up earlier than usual. She could barely sleep the night before because of all the excitement. She was a card captor now and was part of that secret she had always wanted to be a part of.

She got out of bed and went into her closet. She took out her uniform and laid it out on her bed. She quickly changed into the uniform and went to her mirror. She brushed her hair until it shone and pulled it back into a ponytail. She glanced at the pendant resting on her neck in the mirrors reflection. It was small, purple and shaped like a heart. She remembered how she had gotten it.

FLASH BACK

"Let me get this straight. All of you capture these things called Clow Cards because Sakura let them out in the first place. Now, I have to join you on this "hunt" of yours. That's what that weird feeling was?"

"Basically," Sakura said, trying to stay calm after the talk.

"Okay, I get it. I'll help, I mean, why not?" Yuriko said.

'So now I know the secret that I felt I wanted to be a part of. Now I am. I guess that that's what I asked for.'

"So, what do I have to do to be a card captor?"

"Well, first we need to get you a staff," Kero said.

"A staff? What do you mean?"

"Well, to capture the cards, you need a staff to help contain their powers."

"And how do I get one of these staffs?"

"Well, you need to make a contract with it."

"A contract with a staff? Are you serious?"

"Yeah." Kero said before starting the contract incantation.

"Key of the seal

There is one

Who wishes the contract

With you here

The girl by the name of Yuriko

Key! Give power to the girl.

RELEASE!

Yuriko! Take the staff!"

Yuriko grabbed the staff and a bright light engulfed her. She looked down at what was in her hands and there was a pendant, small, purple, and heart shaped.

"Is this my staff?" Yuriko asked.

"Yes, this is your staff and you will use it to capture the Clow Cards."

"Wow, this is so cool! I never thought anything like this would ever happen to me!" Yuriko said with a big smile. Sakura, Tomoyo and Mei Lin giggled at her excitement and Yuriko joined them. Finally, her wish to be like them was coming true.

END OF FLASH BACK

Yuriko sighed. It was so strange to be in a situation like that. She went out of her room and began downstairs. She walked into the kitchen and sat at the table. Her mother came to the table and put down the plate that had Yuriko's breakfast.

"Morning, Yuriko dear. How are you this morning?"

"Good, mom." She began to eat her breakfast.

"Yuriko? Where did you get that pendant? It very pretty."

"Huh? Oh thanks. Yeah, my friends gave it to me."

FLASHBACK

"So, should I tell my parents what I'm doing?"

"No. This has to be kept a secret. No one is supposed to know outside of this group," Kero told her.

"Okay then. Well, at least I have someone to talk to it about. It would be too hard to keep a secret like this all to myself." Yuriko smiled and Sakura, Tomoyo, and Mei Lin smiled too, understanding what she meant.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Well, you better go to school, you don't want to be late!"

"Thanks mom," Yuriko said as her mother handed her her lunchbox. She kissed her mother on the cheek before running out the door.

She sang as she walked to school. It was a song she had heard before on a music video, it was called Chaos. She closed her eyes as she sang.

"Nanimo mienai nanimo kikoenai sekai de

Nanimo iranai tada anata to hitotsu ni naritai"

Itsuka toraretari hanaretari...

Sonna fuan daite

Nanko sugoshite iru? kokoro motteru?

You say "I miss you", but never say "forever"

Tashika na mono nante nanko ni mo nai

Sonna koto wakatteru setsuna ha senaka awase

Deai soshite wakare ha watashi o otona ni kaete kureta

Demo sore ha tsumifukai negai ni made...

Sotto kuchibeni hi ita no kane mukou de

Ai sareru yume mita chiisana kokoro ha naiteru

Kare ga suki datta nagaitami zutto setsurezu ni ita

Dokuri no jikan ha shojo no yume o

Tokeru hodo moyashita

Never say "I love you" and "forever"

Kotoba ni suru hodo horete yuku

Sonna koto wakatteru dakara senaka awase

Iranai... hitotsu ni naritai…

Negai ha mitsuka ni umare ochita

Tomerarenai PIRIODO ha hai ni natta

Tashika na mono nante nanko ni mo nai

Sonna koto wakattete setsuna ha senaka awase

Deai soshite wakare ha watashi o otona ni kaete itta

Itsuno hi ka tsumifukai negai yo kanae

She opened her eyes when she finished and saw Sakura and co. looking at her.

"Um, hi… heh heh."

"That was very good. You sing really well," Tomoyo said.

"Coming from you, that's a great compliment!" Yuriko responded.

"Hey, you should join the choir. I'm sure they'd love to have you!" Sakura told her with a smile.

"Uh, thanks," Yuriko replied with a slight blush. "We better go in now, or we might be late."

"Okay!" They walked into the school and hurried up the stairs into homeroom. They all sat in their seats. It was hard fro Yuriko because she sat on the other side of the room of Sakura, Tomoyo, Mei Lin, and Li. She sighed. It would be a long day.

"Quiet down class. Quit down. I decided that today we'll be changing seats. Because you are so good, you get to choose where you'll be sitting. Okay, go ahead!" What luck! Now Yuriko could sit with everyone! She walked over to where they were and sat on the other side of Tomoyo.

"Hi guys!"

"Hi Yuriko! Wasn't it great that we were able to change seats! Now you can sit with us!" Sakura said with a smile as Yuriko sat down.

"Yeah, I know! It was perfect timing!" Yuriko agreed with a smile. As soon as everyone was sitting, the teacher started the lesson.

The rest of the day went quickly. No trouble, no cards either. Yuriko sighed happily as she and her friends left the school grounds. They were happily chatting away and were headed towards Yuriko's parent's store, (which I have mercifully renamed) "Ichigo Douzo".

They went into the store, talking excitedly and laughing. Yuriko went over to the counter of the bakery/café. She went around the counter to the back and changed into her uniform.

"Toriyama-san, I didn't know you worked here! Aren't you too young to work anyway?" Mei Lin asked.

"Well, this store actually belongs to my parents. I work here every other day," she responded.

"That's so cool! Do you like working here?" Sakura asked.

"Eh, it's okay. It's fun, it makes me feel more responsible and I like that." A lady called Yuriko over. "Be right back, I got to go help her."

"Welcome to "Ichigo Douzo." How can I help yo- Sakura?" Sakura looked up at the voice.

"Ah, Touya! I didn't know you worked here now! Does that mean Yukito works here too?"

"Uh-huh. Hi, Sakura! Hi, Tomoyo! Hi, Mei Lin! Hi, Li!" Yukito greeted.

"Did you guys know that the owners of this store are the parents of one of our friends?" Tomoyo asked.

"No, I didn't. Who's your friend?" Touya asked.

"Hi, guys! Sorry to keep you waiting!" Yuriko said with a smile when she comes back.

"Yuriko, did you know that my brother and his friend work here?"

"Huh? Really? Who?"

"Us," Touya says and Yuriko turns around.

"Oh, Hi Touya. Hi Yukito. Touya, why didn't you tell me Sakura was your sister?"

"I don't know."

"He probably forgot!" Yukito says happily. They all sweat drop. Yuriko feels something; that certain tug. She looks at Sakura and Li sees that they feel the same thing.

"Anou, can you two take care of my customers for a while. Something…just came up," Yuriko asked Touya and Yukito quickly.

"Uh, sure." Yuriko and the others ran out of the store.

"You guys feel that too, right?"

"Uh-huh," Sakura and Li respond along with a nod. Kero appears out of nowhere.

"Oh, uh, hi Kero." Yuriko said when he flew up to her.

"Yuriko. I never told you how to release your staff. Repeat after me:

The key that holds the power of love,

Reveal your true form to me.

I, Yuriko, commands thee under convent

RELEASE!"

"Okay!" Yuriko repeated what Kero said and her heart pendant turned into a staff. It was lavender with a heart within a ring on top.

"Wow, it's beautiful," Yuriko whispered.

"No time to admire it! We have to go get the Clow Card!" Kero reminded her.

"Right!"
