| Sakura and Shaoran and the Invisible Thread Sakura wakes up at 6:35 am. Kero says that she woke up too early. Sakura smiles. She notices the Clow Card Book and looks worried. She asks Kero if incidents taht occurred lately can be realted to the new cards and Clow. Kreo says it's possible, but Sakura shouldn't be so gloomy. Kero asks to worried Sakura, "What would happen if something bad happens and Sakura-chan is not okay?" Sakura replies, "Yeah, I'll cheer up." "Right! So you'll head out to school energetically today, too!" "Right!" Sakura replies, smiling. Sakrua skates to her school. She sighs when she sees that it's closed. "Well, since I"m so early, it's not surprising... oh yeah! Oniichan said he had a morning practice!" She goes to the highschool grounds and sees her brother passing the soccer ball to Yukito. Yukito passes it back to Touya and Touya easily shoots it past the goal keeper. All the girls watching wildly cheer while Nakuru runs to the middle of the field and gives Touya a big hug. "Touya-kun! You're caught!" She happily declares. Touya complains that it's still in the middle of the game, while Yukito stares at tem. Nakuru catches his eyes and gives him a smug smile. Yukito sweetly smiles back. Sakura and Tomoyo are talking about the last incident with piano. Tomoyo says there will be a new piano arriving soon, and that the music teacher, Tsujitani sensei, is relieved. <Flashback from last episode where the piano crashes through the fence flashes by> "I would have never even dreamed that I would be chased by a piano," Tomoyo comments. Sakura agrees, but turns seroius as she says she felt Clow's aura at that time. Tomoyo says that he definately died after all. Sakura agrees, and says she'll be cheerful and everything will turn out okay. Tomoyo sweetly smiles upon her and says smile suits Sakura the best. Sakura and Tomoyo apologizes to the girls for being late. The girls sit around the school lawn. Rika presents her cookies. Sakura samples one and says it's really delicious, and upon tasting other girls agree. Rika says she's glad that Sakura likes them, since she seems so down lately. She hesitantly adds that she can be wrong, but Sakura shakes her head and thanks her. Rika asks the girls' permission to continue with her sewing. She takes out an adorable teddy bear. Girls are all delighted with him. Sakura asks if it's hand-made, and Rika answers in affirmitive. Chiharu comments that Rika-chan can do anything and Rika blushes, saying it's really simple if you just follow the directions. Tomoyo asks the girls if they know when is a stuffed animal's birthday. Sakura guesses that the day that it's finished. Tomoyo says that that can be true, but many store-bought dolls don't have the day that they're finished on them, so a stuffed animal's birthday is the day whne it is given a ribbon and a name. She adds that overseas, one presents a person he/she likes with a stuffed animal named after himself/herself, and the two people will fall in love. Rika starts to blush. Shaoran watches the girls from top of a tree, muttering to himself, "Falling in love...." He stares at Sakura. He blushes and shakes his head. A voice suddenly comments, "Girls are so cute, talking about stuffed animals' birthday." Shaoran looks down and sees Eriol. His face changes to that of Touya's when he sees Shaoran. "You always make such a scary face when I'm around. Did I do something to displease you?" Eriol asks, smiling. "No," Shaoran curtly replies, still continuing on with that expression of "I'll kill you". "You came from Hong Kong, right?" "Yeah." "Would you mind showing me around?" Eriol looks up to meet Shaoran's eyes. His smile suddenly turns mocking. "Li Shaoran." Shaoran suddenly looks shocked, then falls off from the tree. Eriol catches him, and looks at him with concerned expression. "Are you all right?" Shaorna leaps out of Eriol's arms and yells, "It's nothing!" He starts to run away, but stops and says, "Sorry about that." and runs off again. Eriol looks after him with a smile. "What an interesting person...perhaps you can be of a use to me..." Children are sayibng good-bye to Terada as they leave. Rika apologizes for not being able to accompany Sakura and Tomoyo to the sewing shop. Sakura says Tomoyo's going with her, so it's all right. Rika notices Terada is leaving, and hurries after him. Tomoyo looks on with a meaningful smile on her face. Sakura asks Tomoyo if Rika-chan had finished the bear. Tomoyo says she did during the break. Suddenly Takashi pops out of no where and starts, "Did you know that bears were originally sea animals? They would go on a voyage that extends to all of the seven seas in pursuit of salmons! To Atlantic, Artic, and even Antartica in south! It is truly a graet world-wide journey! They say that the white mark of the moon bear is said to be there so that the bears can indentify each oter in the depths of the ocean! You see, what caused them to come up to the land was the existance of..." Chiharu appears, crying, "Not again!" and drags him away. "The salmon so big taht they could be copared to the size of a whale was the original factor in their migration to land..." Takashi continued. "Yeah, yeah, so?" Chihaur replied, dragging him away. "Was that all lies?" Sakura asks Tomoyo, looking uncertain. Tomoyo smiles and says, "Shall we go?" Eriol comes in and asks if they're going to the handcraft store. "Yes," Sakura replies. "May I come with you, too?" Sakura nods. Shaoran runs into the classroom, looking pissed, and yells, "I'm gonna go, too!" We see Chiharu and Takashi passing by. "So the seven year long enemity of bears and salmons caused..." "Yeah, yeah." Rika approaches Terada in the library. She hands him the bear in shopping bag. Terada takes it out of the shopping bag and says that it's very well made. Rika asks if it's okay with him to have it. "For me?" Terada asks, surprised. Rika nods. "Thank you, Sasaki. I"ll treasure it," He says, smiling. Rika blushes. <CM break--Shaoran Card!> Sakura asks if Li-kun is mad at something. Shaoran grumpily denies. In front of them, Tomoyo and Eriol are talking to each other, getting along great. Shaoran positively GLARES at Eriol. Sakura looks scared and says, "Hoe...." Shaoran says if something else happens, she should call him instead of just going out alone. He comments that she seems to be in danger, and blushes. Sakura cutely consents. Sakura finds the bear making kit inside the store and is happy to find out that she could afford it with her allowance. "For Tsukishiro-san?" Tomoyo asks. Sakura nods, and asks Tomoyo if she will not buy one." "...for me.." Tomoyo smiles with a trace of sadness. "For me, if a person I love the most can be happy at distance, I'd like to preserve that happiness for that person forever." Sakura looks startled. "You mean, it's okay even if the person doesn't love you back?" "Of course, I"ll be really happy if the person loves me, too," She sweetly smiles upon Sakura. "But the happiest thing for me would be that the person I love be as happy as the person possibly can be." Sakura smiles. "The person being loved by Tomoyo-chan must be really happy!" Tomoyo asks, "Do you really think so?" "I'm sure!" Sakura confidently replies. "Thank you," Tomoyo says, smiling. Eriol comes towards them with package in his arms. "What did you buy, Eriol-kun?" "Threads," He said, showing them the threads. "Threads? For sewing?" "There are many uses to threads." Shaoran cuts in between them and says, "They use it to roast meats!" Eriol smiles and says, "That's true, kite strings are used to roast meats." Sakura says, "Li-kun knows a lot, too!" And sweetly smiles. "Not really," Shaoran says, looking embarassed. Sakura is sewing. "How is it?" Kero asks. "Hard!" Sakura moans, putting her sewings down. "Lemme see." Kero says, taking the sewing from her. He sees something remarkably similar to himself. "Is this really a BEAR?" He asks, making a face. "Hoe! It looks like Kero-chan!" Sakura cries. "WHATCHA SAY?!" Kero starts. Sakura stops talking. "What's wrong?" "This..." "This aura..." "Clow's aura!" Shaoran and Sakura are standing together in the penguin park. "Why did we cal the brat?" Kero groomily says. "Because I promised Li-kun that if anything came up, I'd call him! Right?" Sakura turns to Shaoran, and he turns away, turning scarlet. "Well, I guess he would be more helpful than nothing," Kero says, shrugging. "What did you say?" Shaoran growls. Sakura breaks the two up before a battle breaks out. Suddenly Shaoran draws out his sword, looking confused. His body trembling, he slashes at Sakura. "Brat, wuz up?!" Kero asks, alarmed. "My, my body.." Shaoran says through clenched teeth, struggling against something. "Get out of my way!" He cries as he attacks Sakura. "The brat's gettin' controled by somethin'!" Kero says. "But I don't see anything!" Sakura says, dodging. She stops. "What is it?" Kero sharply asks. "I sense an aura." "Get....away from me..." Shaoran says, struggling to get away from Sakura. "But I can't just leave you like this!' Kero and Sakura tries to figure out what's controlling Shaoran. Shaoran takes out a sticker. "Suryo, syorai!" Water dragon emerges, outlining the threads controlling Shaoran. "Cut'em down!" Kero cries. Sakura changes the Sword Card into Sakura Card and cuts the threads. Shaoran falls down. "Li-kun!" Sakura cries, running up to him as he collapses. "I'm okay," Soaked Shaoran says, smiling up at her. "Thank goodness.." Sakura replies, smiling weakly. She falls into Shaoran's lap. "She fell asleep again," Shaoran says, holding her. "Creating Sakura Cards must be hard," Tomoyo says. Eriol smiles, broken threads hanging on his fingers. "I guess your spell is broken?" Suppi asks. "Yes," Eriol says, looking up from the globe that's showing Sakura, Shaoran, Kero, and Tomoyo. "But why did we come all the way to Japan?" Nakuru asks, entering the room. "Are you bored here?" Eriol asks. "Nope. It's fun! Especially at school. I found something I like, too," "It's amazing you didn't just snatch what you want right away," Suppi comments, looking up from his book with an amused smile. "'Cuase there was a hindering object," Nakuru replies. "But," Suppi says, as Nakuru takes off her jacket. "Shouldn't you wear the guy's uniform?" Nakuru smiles. "But the girls' uniform is so much cuter! Besides," He spins once and places his second finger in his lips thoughtfully. "It doesn't matter; I'm not even a human anyway." Eriol smiles and takes out a small key. "O key that contains the power of darkness within, show thy true form in front of this one. In accordance to the contract Eriol commands. Release." He waves his tall staff. "Return to your true form. Spinel Sun. Ruby MOon." Nakuru and Suppi is engulfed in mysterious mist, and reveal themselves as a beautiful young lady(er, man?) with pink hair and black dress and a gorgeous black tiger. They both have butterfly wings. "Our creator Eriol, whose pervious name was Clow reed. Why have you came to this town?" They ask. "To make things interesting," He says, smiling rather coldly. A omnious music plays on the background as the scene slowly fades. <To be Continued> Summary written by Wing Zero and placed on Sakura Wing in August of 2001. CCS belongs to CLAMP. |
