Sakura to Fushigi na Burochi <<Title Screen: Sakura and the Mysterious Brooch>>      Sakura was walking absent-mindly.  Tomoyo, noticing her, smiled.  "Ohayo gazaimasu!" She happily cried out.  "Ohayo, Tomoyo-chan.." "You look down.  Didn't you sleep well?" Tomoyo asked.  "Oh, it's just...." "Are you worried about last time?" Sakura sat down.  A flashback.      "Come thunder and obey thy command!" Shaoran cried, hitting Thunder.  "You can capture it in its beast form.  You don't even kow that yet?!" Sakura took out the Windy Card... "You stupid or somethin'? Windy can't be a match for thunder." Shaoran attacked it...       'But you did catch it.  You've acted out your role as the world's only cardcaptor wonderfully," Tomoyo said.  "It's really nothing impressive," Sakura replied, still dejected.  More flashbacks followed...      "That's the rod of the seal? But really, you know absolutely nothing.  With your powers, this is way too much."     Sakura softly said, "But I don't know what I would've done without Li-kun's adivce." "Ohayo, Sakura-chan," A voice said.  "Ohayo, Rika-chan," Sakura replied.  She noticed a hand holding out a small pink flowr.  She looked up.  "You seem down," Rika kindly said.  "Rika-chan! Arigato!" She took the flower, smiling.  'Rika-chan is mature, kind, and wonderful..." Shaoran entered.  Sakura sweat dropped, looking pained.  Shaoran stared at her.  Awkward silence settled.  "A, ano! Yesterday! Thank you!" Shaoran looked surprised.  "Because you told me all those things, I was able to capture Thunder." "As a cardcaptor, that's a basic knowledge, really," Shaoran coldly said.  Sakura sweat dropped again.  "Um, the clothes you were wearing yesterday was cool.  Does everyone in Hong Kong wear things like that?" Sakura asked, attempting another normal conversation.  "Um, I had a dream before you came, about a boy in green clothes like yours.  I was surprised when you appeared!" Shaoran snapped, "That was a ceremonial clothes, passed down among the Li clan.  There is no way you could have known about it!" "I didn't know about it; I just dreamed about it," Sakura awkwardly explained.  "So you have powers to have premonition dreams." Sakura sweat dropped again.  Shaoran started to glare at Sakura again.  "Ano..." Tomoyo started.      "Li-kun!" A voice interrupted them.  "Yamazaki-kun..." Sakura said.  "Even though you're a new student, that doesn't excuse you from monitor duties!" Takashi happily declared.  "Monitor duties?" Shaoran asked.  "Yes, you have to clean the blackboard and write dates and stuff on the blackboard as well," Takashi explained.  "And then, during the break, you have to sing and dance and perform for the class." "Japanese schools do such things?" Shaoran asked, surprised.  "Yes," Takashi replied.  "They do?" Sakura asked, turning to Tomoyo, looking uncertain.  "Nope!" Tomoyo happily replied.  Takashi dragged Shaoran away.  "For the time being, let's clean the blackboard," He said.  "And when you're done cleaning, start singing." "Okay," Shaoran obediently said, starting to clean the blackboard.      That dream.  Tokyo Tower and a full Moon.  Sakura is standing on top of a building in a pink custom.  "Sakura-chan!" A sweet female voice called her.  Tomoyo's voice... "Who? Who is it?" Sakura asked, leaning forward.  "Kinomoto!" "Ah!" Sakura opened her eyes.  Terada stood in front of her.  "You didn't get enough sleep?" "Uh..." "Well, then rest well at home.  Homeroom's over. " Terada said.  He walked up to the front of the class.  "I think that's enough for today." "Bye, sensei!" "Don't forget your homework!" "Bye, sensei!" "Take care!" Rika was staring at Terada. "Huh?" Noticing this, Sakura looked at her, puzzled.  "What is the matter?" Tomoyo asked.  "Nothing... ah!" Shaoran had leaped up right behind her.  He glared at her for the last time for the day, then left.  Sakura sweated.  "It must be stressful to have Li-kun sitting behind you," Tomoyo sympathically said.  "yeah..." "Ah! Do you have some free time today?" "Yes, I don't have to make dinner today.  Father's going to be late, and Oniichan has a part-time job," Sakura told Tomoyo.  "Then would you like to go shopping? Rika-chan found a nice store." "Arigato," Sakura said, smiling.  Tomoyo gave her a puzzled glance.  "Because I seem to be spaced out all day, you're trying to cheer me up.  Arigato."  Tomoyo sweetly smiled.  "I just wanted to be with Sakura-chan longer!" Sakura immediately found herself surrounded by flowers and sparkles.  She became very embarrassed.  Suddenly a brush was thrusted at her face.  "Huh?!" Takashi smiled.  "It's great to do stuff after school, but please finish cleaning up first!" "H, hai.."      "It's over here," Rika said.  "Wow..!" Sakura and Tomoyo said, delighted.  There were dolls and dishes and stuff like that.  "I thought Sakura-chan would like place like this, too." "I really like it!" Tomoyo and Rika exchanged smiles.  "Sorry for making you come along.  Sakura-chan seemed so down," Tomoyo said.  "No, I've been wondering about that, too," Rika said.  They came upon brooches.  "Kawaii!" Sakura cried. "They're really cute," Tomoyo agreed.  "Ah!" Sakura said, picking up  a heart-shaped one with wings.  "I'm sure it'll look great on you," Tomoyo said.  "I want it, but... but...." Sakura hesitated.  "Are you going to buy it?" Tomoyo asked. "Yeah, because I just got my allowance.." She started to "fake" cry.  "... but that means no snacks..." "Then, I'll take this one," Tomoyo said, picking up the cross one.  "How cute," Sakura said.  "I wanted a brooch, too," Tomoyo said, smiling.  "Then I'll have this," Rika said, choosing one.  "It's a pin brooch, right?" Sakura asked.  "I'm sure it'll look great on you," Tomoyo said.  It's a sword-like one...      It was Sakura's house.  Kero was playing a game.  "Kero, we have guests, so you may not come downstairs, okay?" Sakura told him.  "Got it, got it..." He lost the game.  "AAARGH!!!"  Sakura left her room.  "Do you want me to help you?" Tomoyo asked.  "No, just sit down," Sakura said.  "I'm sorry for bothering you like this before dinner," Rika apologized.  "It's all right.  Oniichan and Otoosan will both be late," Sakura said.  Sakura sat down and poured the tea out. Rika gracefully set the cups right.  She looked up at Sakura and smiled.  Sakura smiled back.  "Arigato." She went over to the refridgerator and brought back puddings.  "That looks delicious!" Rika said.  "Father made it.  Let's eat it together!" "Itadakimasu!" The girls cried in unison.  "Oishii!" Rika happily said.  "Your father is a great cook after all," Tomoyo said.  Sakura, pleased, smiled.  Sakura took out her brooch and put it on.  "How cute.  It was a nice shop," Tomoyo said.  "Next time, let's invite Naoko and Chiharu-chan, too," Sakura said.  Rika smiled, and put on her brooch, too.  "Rika-chan is mature and pretty, so it'll become you very well!" Rika stared down on the floor, silent.  "Rika-chan?" Silence.  Suddenly she looked up.  Her eyes were strangely blank.  "Rika-chan!" The brooch suddenly glowed, becoming a big sword.  "Rika-chan!" She suddenly started to attack Sakura.  Sakura jumped down, holding Tomoyo with her as she fell on to the sofa.  Rika raised her sword again... <CM Break-- Sakura Card!>      "Rika-chan!"  Rika continued to attack.  Sakura ran out to the hallway.  Rika got her cornered and stabbed her, just missing her.  The wall next to her that got hit cracked.  Sakura ran out.  She desperately tried to open the door.  Rika was slowly approaching.... she raised her sword... and Sakura opened the door and ran out.  "Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cried.  "What is this! I sense Clow Card's aura!" Kero yelled, flying downstairs. He stopped and smelled the air.  "Ahh! I smell pudding! Without me!!!" "This is not the time! Sakura-chan is in danger!" Tomoyo cried.  "Rika-chan.... Rika-chan!" Sakura desperately said, dodging the sword.  "Sakura!" Kero said, flying out.  "Rika-chan is.." The sword that Rika was holding shone.  "That's...." Rika lunged at Sakura again, cracking the wall.  "Sword Card!" "But Rika-chan never learned things like fencing! So why?!" "Sword Card makes anyone an expert at sword play. That girl's consciousness is completely controlled by the Sword!" "That can't be!" Sakura cried in dismay.  "Behind you!" Tomoyo screamed.  Sakura jumped away just as Rika swished her sword again.  As she fell down, she released her key.  "Jump!" She cried, jumping up to a wall and running.  Rika followed.  "If you get hit by that, it's gonna be really bad! Sword's power depends on the user.  If it means you no harm, it can just hit you with its backside, but if it had mind to..." Rika sliced the light pole(or whatever it is) that Sakura was sitting on in half.  "It can even cut through rocks." "But I can't attack Rika-chan!" Sakura protested.  "Then run away!" Kero scolded.  "But, but! I can't just leave Rika-chan like this either!" Rika lunged at her with a sowrd.  Sakura closed her eyes tightly as...      Another sword blocked Rika's sword.  She opened her eyes.  "Li-kun!" Sakura said in relief.  "How pathetic..." Shaoran grumbled, jumping down.  He placed his fingers upon point of his sword.  "Dame!" Sakura screamed, hugging his arm.  "What the hell are you doing?!" Shaoran cried.  Rika attacked them.  Sakura jumped.  They both landed in the bush.  "Are you OK?!" Kero asked.  "Yeah.  How about Rika-chan?!" Sakura asked.  "We almost got killed thanks to you, moron!" Shaoran said.  "You can't hurt Rika-chan!" Sakura snapped.  They GLARED at each other.  Kero sighed, "It'll be okay if only she would let go of that sword, even for a second...." Sakura leaped up.  "Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo said. "Tomoyo-chan and Li-kun, help me too!" Sakura said, facing Rika.  "Ano baka...!" Shaoran cried.  "Shuddup and jus' watch!" Kero snapped, biting his finger. "...ARRRGH!!!"      Sakura took out Illusion.  "Display form of the person she thinks of the mos! Illusion!" And the form takes on the form of.... "Sensei...." Rika said.  "Ah?" Sakura asked, surprised.  "Sakura! Imaya!" Kero screaemd.  Sakura slapped Rika's hand.  Rika let go of the sword and fainted out.  Sword floated up into the air.  Holding Rika in her arms, she cried, "Return to the form in which thou should be in! Clow Card!" She captured it.       "All right!" Kero happily said, flying up to her.  "You did it," Tomoyo declared, running up to her.  "Rika-chan! Rika-chan!" Sakura said, gently shaking her.  "She just swooned, that's all," Shaoran said.  "See brat! Sakura captured it all by herself!" Kero proudly said. "Everyone knows that Sword is a piece of cake," Shaoran said, shaking his finger in a lecturing-manner.  "What?!" Kero bit his finger.  "AAARGH!!!" "Kero-chan!" Sakura scolded.  "I think someone's coming.  I hear footsteps!" Tomoyo cried.  "Someone is here! Kero, go to my room, now!" Kero abolutely let go of Shaoran's finger, causing him to fall.  He flew off, stilll looking pissed.  "Is Touya here? I'm returning the CD that I borrowed.... ah?" He looked around at fainted Rika, Sakura with a pink staff, Shaoran in a green custom, and Tomoyo with a video camera.  "What's going on?" He curiously aske.d "Ah..." "Um..." Yukito noticed Shaoran's finger that was bitten by Kero.  "Oh... are you all right?" Yukito asked, gently holding Shaoran's hand.  Shaoran's eyes grew shiny.  He suddenly ran off, leaving a trail of dust cloud behind him.       It was library.  Rika was reading.  "Rika-chan," Sakura said.  "Sakura-chan," Rika said, looking up.  "I'm sorry for yesterday for fainting out like that.  But I don't remember anything.  Strangely, I only remember putting on the brooch..." She said, looking confused.  "Ah, ah, ah... here!" "May I open it?" Rika asked, accepting the little gift.  "Yeah, yeah...." Sakura said, sweating.  "Oh...this is the one you bought," Rika said, surprised.  "I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find yours, so..." "Don't worry about it! It was my fault," Rika said.  "But I want you to have it!" Sakura said.  'Her brooch returned into a card, so I can't return it to her.  But I can't tell her that! Ahhh... I just can't explain!' Sakura thought, looking pained.  "Thank you.  I"ll take good care of it," Rika said, smiilng.  "Huh....?" 'She's not asking me about anything else because I seem troubled.  Rika is mature, kind, and wonderful after all!' Sakura thought.  Terada entered the library.  "Ohayo gozaimasu!" Sakura said, walking by.  "Ohayo," Terada said.       "What? the lil' git was here?!" Touya asked. "Yes, but he left right away," Yukito said.  "Then can't do anything to him this time, I guess..." Touya mumbled.  "You chase all boys who approach Sakura away liek this, don't you?" Yukito asked, smiling.  "Only I am allowed to annoy her!" Touya firmly said.  "Yatbari Sister Complex da ne..." Yukito said, laughing.  "Shuddup."     Sakura was running towards the Seijou High.  Yukito took Touya's hand to look at the watch.  "It's almost time.  Why did Sakura-chan want to see me?" "I dunno, but since I told you, she has to make dinner tonight." "Picking on her again," Yukito said, smiling.  Suddenly, a sticker came whizzing though the air and landed on Touya's clothes and exploded into fire.  "....!!!!!" Touya hurriedly slapped on it,  putting it out.  He looked up.  Shaoran was standing on top of the wall, holding a lot of stickers and looking majorly pissed.  "Why you...!" Touya said, jumping down from the three.  Sakura ran up to them.  "Sorry to keep you waiting... ah?!" She noticed Shaoran and Touya engaged in a glaring contest again and groaned.  "Sakura-chan, why did you want to see me?" Yukito asked.  "Oh! Thank you for helping us yesterday.  This is a thank-you gift," Sakura said, handing him the package.  "Ah?!" Shaoran asked.  "Really? Thank you! Wow, chocolate! I love sweets!" Yukito happily said, opening the package.  Shaoran suddenly started to rummage around, then ran up to Yuktio.  He pushed a box of  chocolate towards Yukito.  "May I have it?" Yukito asked.  Shaoran nodded.  As soon as Yukito accepted the gift, he ran off.  "Thnak you!" Yukito called out after him.  "What... " Sakura asked, looking after him.  "Sakura-chan!" A voice said.  "Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura happily said.  "I wasn't able to film yesterday's battle, so I'm filming "Sakura-chan Giving A Present"!" Tomoyo declared.  She came up to her and whispered, "You know, I think Li-kun likes Tsukishiro-san!" "HUH?!" Sakura asked.  "Both in Clow Card captoring and in love, a rival has appeared, didnt he!" "Hoe?!!!" Sakura cried as picture of both of them flashed by. <Kero-chan ni Omakase!>      Konyanyachiwa!
