At Tomoyo's house, Tomoyo, Sakura, and Naito were in the living room talking. "So…," Sakura asked,"…do you know who Air is?" Naito sighed," That woman you met was an element created by Clow Reed himself." Tomoyo and Sakura were very surprised. "Why would Clow Reed make Air?" Tomoyo asked. Naito gave a pause. That is what I want to know. And why did she look like my mother? Sakura thought. Naito replied," To protect the new card captor of course. I know this might sound strange, but it's true. All the elements are trying to find the new card captor before any one else does. If they succeed doing so, they would be the new guardian for the new card captor and they would serve their every word. The elements are Air, Earth, Water, and Fire, and like I said if they ever succeed into finding you they would be your new guardian." Sakura was puzzled. "Why would do that when they can just sense the clow cards?" Tomoyo asked.
"They can't sense the clow cards because there are no clow cards. As far as I'm concerned I heard from Syaoran that the new captor named Sakura changed them all to 'Sakura cards'."
"Excuse me, Naito; I'm Sakura, who changed all of the cards to 'Sakura cards'. So if they can't sense them what would they do?"
"They would just give up and combine together to form the most powerful being of all. A being that would be able to control all of the elements of the clow cards good and bad. And that would be a bad thing 'cause if they don't find you they would destroy everything in their paths until they have found you and if one of the elements found you, that element would be yours to control, but if all the elements were to find you at the same time…"
"What would happen, Naito?" Tomoyo asked.
"The elements would battle each other till one was to only one remained. If that happens, the world might be in jeopardy when the battle clashes and intertwine."
"So why you and Eriol would be caught up in this?" Sakura asked.
"Clow Reed himself wrote in his dairy that one day that one of the reincarnations of Clow Reed and a trainee card captor would be the protectors of the new card captor of the elements."
"But what I don't get…" Sakura started,"…how could the elements be guardians if they are looking for me? It just doesn't make since. And I'm supposed to be the dense one."
Ding! Dong! Sakura and Naito flinched. Tomoyo stood up," I'll get the door. I wonder who would come to my house at this time of night." Tomoyo opened the door and gasped. Sakura and Naito patiently waited for Tomoyo. Sakura asked," Naito, could you tell me something." "What is it, Sakura?" Naito asked.
"Well, Air look liked my mother, so is it possible that they could look like a relative?"
"I can't say for sure, Sakura. But how elements get their appearance is that they find a soul from 20 years and now, so Air might have found your mother's soul and got her appearance as well. But sometimes elements like their own appearance, so they just stick with what they have with theirs. But I don't know for sure, Sakura, but I'm sorry for what happened back there. I didn't want Syaoran or you into this. Arrgh! I'm such a fool!"
"Don't take on yourself Naito!" Sakura tried to comfort Naito. Then a voice spoke up," Don't worry about him, Sakura. He just likes to beat himself up if he does something wrong, but it's more like Naito cries like a little baby and wants a lot of sympathy."
Sakura and Naito look up and the person beside Tomoyo was Syaoran! Sakura went into tears and ran to Syaoran," Syaoran!" She hugged Syaoran and he hugged back. Sakura cried," I thought I was going to be all alone again this summer! I'm glad you're here now, Syaoran!" Syaoran chuckled," Don't worry about it Sakura it's alright. I'm safe and sound. One of the reasons I came here was because my mother told me to come here and protect you from some kind of creatures. I didn't know what she was talking about, so I wondered if you knew about it, Sakura. But I don't need to ask you, Sakura. I know a certain person who can tell us about this..." Syaoran stared at Naito, who was tip-toeing out of the room," NAITO!" Naito flinched. He turned his head to Syaoran," N-n-nice t-t-to s-see y-you again…S-S-Syaoran…" Syaoran just glared at him. Naito bowed to the ground," PLEASE, SYAORAN, IT WASN'T MY FAULT REALLY! I WAS JUST ON PATROL AND I JUST HAPPENED TO MEET UP WITH THE GIRLS I SWEAR!" Syaoran turned puzzled for a moment,"…? Naito what are you talking about? I had no choice but to come here."
"But you never pass up on your sword training with your mother! Unless…"
"Unless my mother says that Sakura might be in real danger from some creatures called Clow Guardians. Do you know why they are after Sakura and me?" Naito groaned," Can we talk about it over tea?" Syaoran, Sakura, and Tomoyo gave a little chuckle. Syaoran groaned,"…Naito…you are hopeless…" I know! Aha!" Naito chuckled.
Over tea they talked about the Clow Guardians. "What?" Syaoran roared," That is just crazy!" "Syaoran, please calm down." Sakura pleaded. "We should try to do something about this." Tomoyo mummered," Oh! I know! Why don't we get Eriol's help on the Clow Guardians! That might help us on some things that we need to know!" "That's not going to be a good idea, Tomoyo." Naito replied," I don't think that I would be able to gain his trust this time; I've done too many things that mad Eriol mad." Tomoyo paused, puzzled. "Besides that, Tomoyo," Naito continued while looking at Syaoran," I don't thin that Syaoran would want Eriol around Sakura all the time. You know how jealous Syaoran would get if Eriol get even an inch to Sakura." Tomoyo looked at Syaoran, who had a rage of fire wrath around his whole entire body thinking nothing, but the death of his own cousin, Eriol. "I think you got a point, Naito." Tomoyo said. Tomoyo stared into the clock. It was 10:57 p.m. "Oh! It's getting late." Tomoyo rushed," I think that we should talk about this some other time. Now I have rooms for everyone, but Sakura and I are going to be in the same room. So if anyone has a question for Sakura or I just knock!" The boys went into their rooms as the girls went into theirs. There was not a single sound in the house.
