-1The New Edition Cards
Chapter 4: A Piece of the Puzzle
In Sakura's Room
Sakura - ... And her name is cherry?
Li - Yeah
Kero - and she said she knew us?
Li - Right
Madison - Sakura-Chan didn't we call you cherry as a child?
Sakura - Yeah ... But I didn't know Li when I was little
Li - That reminds me Cherry said she watches over us and she talked to Hiiragiwaza and Madison.
Sakura - She talks to Madison?
Kero - Madison you know her?
Madison - Umm ... Well ... Something like that. If I could tell you I really would, but I can't you have to figure it out on your own. The only people's memories that are missing are you two's so this is your mystery.
Sakura - But why just ours?
Madison - You'll soon find out
Kero - ooo tell me I looove secrets!
Madison - No, Kero-Chan has a big mouth so it's better for me to keep it a complete secret
Sakura - Hey, I'm thinking that maybe we can make a sakura card to help us
Li - What car would that be?
Sakura - I was hoping that you would know
Kero - First of all she knows me and sakura so she has to be in your past. Also the brat said she said good luck with the new cards so she's probability in the future and known there would be a problem.
Sakura - We can use the return card, but maybe it was just a normal dream you had.
Madison - You did say she visited you in your dreams, right?
Li - No, She was more like a ghost like figure
Sakura - g-g-ghost?
Li - -puts his hand over his face- Oooops, Sorry Sakura. She said she wasn't a ghost or else you and her couldn't be friends.
Sakura - m-m-maybe we should stay here I'm sure it was just a dream.
Li - -sweatdrops and starts to shout- You're not listening she said she wasn't a ghost! An besides, I can't believe you're still scared of ghost. You fight spirits.
Kero - -laughs-
Sakura - That's not funny! I mean spirits are one thing, but ghosts are scary!
Kero - Let's just face it Sakura will never out grow her fear in ghosts ...
Madison - -giggles-
Sakura - That's not true! I become a little braver every year! Right, Madison?
Madison - Right
Li was calmly thinking of an explanation of why he couldn't seem to remember the short haired brunette.
Kero - A sakura, I forgot to tell you there's a ghost that lives in your closet ... -speaking spooky- It comes out to watch you sleep.
Sakura - Stop!!
Li - I got it!!
Everyone started to stare at him wondering why he was so very, very loud.
Li - This has got to do with my memory, I mean I can't remember anything from when I was little.
Sakura - Me either!
Madison - I told you ...
Kero - How do you figure that?
Li - It's no use in going to the past and future if I can't remember her. Plus she talked to me as if we were old pal, she did the same with sakura, Kero and everyone else, she seemed like she was someone very important to me.
Madison - You would think so ...
Sakura looked down as it seemed like she was about to cry. She held back as hard as she could.
Sakura - Shall we proceed to the shrine?
Li was quiet as possible. Sakura got even sadder as she stared at him.
Li - Huh?
Li said bringing himself back to reality.
Sakura - Cheer up we'll find out who she is just try your best!
Li - Yeah, you're right
Sakura - You guys ready?
Madison - I'm ready
Li/Kero - Yeah, us too
Tsukimine Shrine
Sakura - Key of star, with powers burning bright, Reveal the staff and shine your light! Release!! ... Are you ready Li!?
Li - Yeah ...
Sakura - Return, Return Li to his past, to find the cherry chapter, Beginning and last! Return! Release and Dispel!!
The cherry tree began to glow. Madison was taping everything.
Sakura - Li, wait ...
Li turned around.
Sakura - Promise me ... That you'll come back?
Li smiled.
Li - I promise
Li turned around and placed his hand on the tree, then vanished.
The Past
Cherry - -giggles-
Madison - Cherry!!
Cherry - Hiy!
Cherry fell while trying to run.
Cherry - AHHHHHH!!! Whaaaaa!! -crying-
Madison - Please ... Don't cry little cherry-chan ...
Cherry - But ... It hurts! Whaaa!
A boy was watching them and staring at cherry. The little boy walked up to cherry and put his hand on her knee.
Li - It'll be fine now
Cherry stopped crying.
Cherry - Wow, How did you do that?
Li - It's magic
Cherry - Can I try?
Li - You can't
Cherry - Why?
Li stared into cherry's eyes, and cherry was looking up at him. He backed away.
Li - You're different
Cherry looked at him in a cute confused way. Cherry held out her hand causing Li to stare more. He sensed her power inside of her.
Cherry - I'm Sakura but my friends call me cherry -smiles-
Li shook her hand smiling.
Li - Li Showran
Cherry - How about I call you ... Little wolf?
Li - So whatever you want!
Cherry giggled.
Li - I should be going but, I hope we meet again ... My little cherry blossom
Cherry watched Li leave.
Sakura - He's nice
Girl - I think he likes you ..
Sakura - You do?
Girl - Absolutely! I mean why not?
Sakura - He is really nice -giggles-
The Next Day, At School
Teacher - We have a new student, Li Showran
Madison - Hey, It's the boy from yesterday
Cherry - Hey ... It is!
The teacher had just got done talking about being nice and respectful.
Teacher - You can sit behind ... Cherry
Li walked back to his seat
Li - So ... We meet again my little blossom
Cherry - We're in the same class isn't that neat!?
Li - -nods-
At The End of the School Year
Cherry - What do you mean leave!!?
Li - My mom said, it's summer and I need to train
Cherry - For what!?
Li - To get stronger ...
Cherry - When will you be back!?
Li - I don't know
Cherry - You can't go ... You're my best friend!
Li started to stare at her.
Li - Cherry
Cherry - What is it?
Li - I,I...I love you!
Cherry - Uh... I love you too Li, like I said you're my best friend. You're like part of my family.
Li - (To himself) Just as I thought, she doesn't know what I mean, I guess I have to do it
Li leaned forward and kissed cherry on her cheek.
Li - I guess I'll see you whenever I'm able to return.
Li ran off and sakura was left there holding her cheek.
The Airport
Cherry - -running- Wait!!
Li - Cherry ... You came?
Cherry - Of course! Why would you run off!?
Li - I thought you didn't ... no never mind, I have something for you.
Li handed Cherry a pink bear holding a green heart, and it's paws and feet were green. The heart said, "My". The belly said "little". The left foot said, "Cherry" and the right foot said, "Blossom". Cherry hugged the bear tightly. Then repeated it on Li. The Charm on The bear said, "Cherry, I'll always remember you, It's a promise."
Cherry - I'll miss you -starts to cry-
Cherry handed Li a wrapped gift. Li stepped forward and kissed her cheek. Cherry wiped her tears.
Li - Bye Sakura ... My little cherry blossom -grabs the gift-
Tori - C'mon Sakura!
Li got on the plane with Wei.
On The Plane
Li - Oh, Yeah
He opened his gift. It was a charm in the shape of a sword. "Forever and ever ... Friends for life, Love always your one and only cherry blossom". Li put on the pendant and held it close falling asleep.
Flash Of Light
Li returned to the present time.
Back at the Tsukimine Shrine
Kero - So what happened!?
Li - Cherry is ... A fried of my past
Sakura - Do you know who she is?
Li - Uhh ... -looks at her- No, I don't remember
Madison - You still don't know who she is?
Li - I'm afraid not ...
Kero - Did you get any answers?
Li - Yeah ...
