Chapter 3: Missing

Sakura's POV

I woke up the day after Shaoran told me he loved me...I wasn't quite sure what to make out of the situation...did I feel the same way or not? I got dressed and went downstairs. I was glad it was Saturday because I was really tired. My brother Touya was still sleeping...he also seemed to be constantly tired now a days. I ate my breakfast slowly. My father had made pancakes...hes an amazing cook. No matter how I tried I couldn't shake yesterday's events out of my head.

"SAKURA IM IN LOVE WITH YOU!" Shaoran's voice resounded in my head.

My father must of been able to tell I was troubled about something because it was his voice that soon broke my train of thought.

"So Sakura, whats on your mind?" He asked in an inquisitive tone.

"Nothing...nothing at all." I lied trying to sound cheerful and normal.

My father just smiled at me and told me to take it easy today...he must have been able to tell I looked tired too. I had just finished my breakfast when I heard Touya walk down the steps.

"Morning monster." He smirked at me. "Your loud obnoxious eating woke me up."

A sour look came over my face.

"I AM NOT A MONSTER!" I screamed back at him.

After that he just sat down...it seemed like he didn't have the energy to continue the argument...I felt kind of sorry for him. I was heading back to my room when I heard the phone ring. It rang a couple of times and when I decided no one else was going to answer I walked over and picked up the receiver. Before I could even touch it all the way to my ear I head a familiar voice yell over the phone.

"SAKURA! I thought you were never gonna pick up the phone..."

I slightly laughed to myself, "Hey Tomoyo, whats up?"

"Sakura its Shaoran...hes going back to Hong Kong..." she said sounding slightly rushed.

"Li's gone back to Hong Kong before..." I replied still not piecing together the puzzle.

"Sakura...hes not coming back."

I dropped the phone and ran out the door. I didn't know what I was doing...my heart was pounding. I ran all the way to the airport and started searching for the departure gate to Hong Kong. I finally found it and not a minute too soon. I saw Shaoran picking up his bag and he was about to board the Plane. I yelled out his name and ran up to him. We faced each other. He was wearing the scarf I had made for him and I asked him if I could have it. He gave it to me and I put it on. I made him pinky swear that we would see each other again and then the final boarding call for Li's flight rang out. He turned and picked up his luggage. Before I gave him the chance to turn back around I was running out of the terminal just as quickly as I had run into it...I was crying and didn't look back. When I got back to my room I buried myself in my pillow and cried myself to sleep. After I woke up I saw that it was dark outside but the night was still very young. I walked downstairs and I saw that both Touya and my father were listening to the radio with serious looks on their faces.

"Has something happened?" I asked them.

Touya was the one to reply, "A plane just crashed out side of Hong Kong...some how both of the engines gave out and the plane went down. People were saying that a large bird attacked the airplane. Many were injured but some how no one is reported dead...however one person was reported missing..."

Touya kept talking but I tuned him out.

"Large bird?" I thought to myself.

All a sudden it hit me like a blow to the stomach.

"Where was the flight from I demanded"

"Here..." Said Touya with a solemn look on his face.

Then it happened...his name was announced over the radio...the missing person was Shaoran Li . I couldn't breathe...it felt like someone had punched me in the stomach...hard. I ran upstairs before Touya and my father could say anything and I explained the situation to Kero.

"I'm gonna go look for him." is what I ended my rant with without a seconds hesitation.

I reached for the Fly card...but it wasn't there. Looking through my cards I noticed that several of them were missing...

"Kero whats going on!"

Fly, Dash, Jump...they were all gone. One of my remaining cards rose up into mid air. The card read The Firey. It evaporated in a burst of light. I turned around and looked at Kero. He was my last chance to fly me out to look for Shaoran."

"Kero can you still transform?" I demanded in a rather harsh tone.

He tried but couldn't.

"Sakura..." Kero began now sounding very worried, "since I cant transform it means that where ever Firey is its power is no longer sealed." Kero looked worried, "The large bird that attacked that kid's plane must've been Fly.

I heard a noise and turned to see several other cards disappear in a flash of light.

"Kero why is this happening!" I yelled.

I desperately grabbed for the clow book and peered inside. What I saw both shocked and terrified me; all the cards were gone except for one. I picked up the card in my hand. It read The Thunder...it was the first card Li had been around to help me capture. At that moment a card Flew in through the window without warning.

"FLY!" I yelled joyfully..."but how did it get back here?"

"Some one must've defeated it, Kero replied. "It must've been..."

I Yelled it out before he had a chance to,

"Shaoran!"
