The Second Generation
4



Syaoran
drove his family home, and the children went up to their room. It was Saturday, so everyone decided to take
a rest. Meeko brought up the Clow Book
with her to the room, though Makoto protested.

"There's no
reason to keep it Meeko. It's
empty. We lost them." He pointed out.

Meeko
climbed the ladder to her bed and sat down.
"So? Maybe there's something
here that can help us."

Makoto
joined her and sat down next to her.
"Help us do what?"

"Capture
the cards." She said as a matter of a
fact.

"Nani? Why?
Let mom and dad do it." He
argued.

"No." She said sternly. "We lost the cards, and we're gonna get them back. Now you can either help me or go away."

Makoto
smirked. "Like I'm going to let you
have all the fun."

Meeko
smiled and slowly opened the book.
There was a bright flash and Meeko and Makoto watched as two keys came
out of the book.

A bird
headed key came to Meeko and a small blue sword came to Makoto. When they reached for the keys, the keys
grew to a staff and a sword. They
grabbed them.

They held
the weapons carefully.

"Wow."
Meeko whispered.

"Whoa."
Makoto echoed.

Suddenly
the bedroom door flew open and Sakura and Syaoran, along with Kero, came
barging in. "What's going on in here?"
Syaoran asked.

Then they
saw they're children handling their old weapons. Kero shook his head.
"Another generation of cardcaptors is born."



The family
sat around the table and ate dinner in silence. Meeko and Makoto wore the keys that had been passed down to them
on their necks. What Meeko couldn't
understand is why is caused their parents such distress? They were given something very special, a
chance to follow in their parents' path.
Their parents should be proud of them, shouldn't they?

"Mom?" Meeko asked quietly.

"Yes
dear?" Sakura responded.

"How come
you and dad are so scared?" She asked
innocently.

Syaoran
chokes, while Sakura dropped her fork.
"Well, sweetie. There's a chance
you might get hurt." Sakura told her
daughter.

"Some of
the cards are gentle, like Windy or Wood."
Syaoran explained. "But
others…like Shot and Thunder, can be violent and dangerous. We're just worried for you."

"Don't
worry about us!" Makoto said
confidently. "We'll get them all back!"

Syaoran
smiled at his son's courage, though misguided by nativity.

Meeko
thought for a moment. She felt
something, but what was it? "How do you
know when a Clow Card is nearby?"

Sakura
seemed disturbed by the question, but Syaoran replied with a frown. "You can usually sense it. Why?"

Meeko
smiled. "Oh, no reason."

Makoto
raised an eyebrow. You do sense
something, don't you?

Yeah,
but let's check it out later. I don't
want to worry mom and dad.

Fine. Makoto reluctantly agreed.



When the
children went back up to their room after dinner, Syaoran called Eriol. "You sense it too?"

"Yeah,
there's a Clow Card around." A voice came over the speaker.

"Do we let
them capture it?"

"You have
to."

"Can we
help them?"

"You can
advice them, but you can't aid them in the capturing of the card." Eriol explained.

"Why not?"

"They have
to learn on their own…"



Meeko and
Makoto sat in their room, as the feeling of the Clow Card grew.

"How do we
know what card it is?" Makoto asked.

"I'm not
sure." His sister replied. "But I do know there are 52."

"How do you
know that?"

Meeko
smiled and brought her hands to reveal…

"The Sakura
Cards!" Makoto exclaimed. "How'd you get those?"

Meeko
shrugged her shoulders casually.
"Having a brother steal your stuff gave me all the tricks in the
book." She winked.

Makoto
smiled. "Let's do some card
capturing." Makoto grabbed his
skateboard and Meeko put on her skates and they snuck out through the window.



Sakura and
Syaoran settled into bed, and Sakura looked over at her dresser. She frowned. "Do you know where my cards are dear?"

Syaoran
came around from the other side of the bed and peered over her and saw they
were gone. "No."

"Then who…"

Immediately
both parents got up and ran to their children's bedroom. They opened the door, but found no cards
and…no children. Syaoran ran to the
open window and saw a giant bird fly by the window, filling the room with a
gust a wind.

"Oh
no!" Sakura cried.

"The Fly
Card!" Syaoran slammed the window
shut. He ran past Sakura and started
down the stairs.

"Wait!" Sakura called. "We can't help them, remember!"

Syaoran
called out his sword, and squeezed the hilt.
"Then I guess I'm going to have to do some advising."

"Hold
on." Sakura ran back into the bedroom
and brought out two robes. She threw
one to Syaoran. "Don't want the whole
neighborhood to know what kind of boxers you wear do you?"

Syaoran
looked down and noticed he was still wearing the boxers he was planning to wear
to bed. He blushed. He and Sakura quickly put on their robes,
Sakura had to cover that thin nightgown she was wearing, and ran outside after
their kids…and the Fly Card.



Meeko and
Makoto were ahead of the Fly Card by about one block. "Got any ideas!" Meeko
yelled.

Makoto
skated on his skateboard faster. "How
about the Windy Card! Isn't that how
mom caught it?" He yelled back.

Meeko
nodded and turned around. She brought
out the Windy Sakura Card and her wand.
She stopped. "Wait! What do I say?"

Makoto
stopped and ended up next to his sister.
"Wasn't it something like…Windy?"

Meeko
smiled bashfully. "Oh yeah." She threw the card in front of her. "Windy!"
She hit the card, but there was a bright flash, and the card floated
down to the ground. She picked it up
and looked at her brother. "What
happened?"

Makoto
shrugged, and then noticed Fly. "Let's
book it!"

Meeko and
Makoto started racing away from the Fly card again. The giant bird blew huge gusts of wind at the two rookies. Meeko almost lots her balance, but Makoto
grabbed her hand and steadied her.

She
smiled. "Arigatou."

He
winked. "What's an oniichan for?" He noticed they had gained some room and
screeched to a halt, his sister did also simultaneously. "Now, we have a card to catch!"

Meeko got
an idea. "And I know how!" She turned to the quickly approaching
bird. Raising the wand above her head,
she moved it in a large circle, and it formed a red hued sphere, just like her
shield before.

Makoto
caught on. "Catch ya sis!" He got ready.

"Now!" Meeko threw her hands forward and the sphere
grew until it held the Fly Card still.
She used her powers to shrink it, made sure it couldn't move. "What are you waiting for?" She shouted to her brother.

"Right!" Makoto used his power and pulled down Fly's
wings, latching it to the ground.

"On
three!" Meeko yelled. "One…two…THREE!!!" As one they let go, leaving the Fly Card immobile. Before it could react, Meeko brought up her
wand, much like she'd seen her mother did in the videos. "Return to the shape you were meant to
be! Clow Card!" The Fly Card turned into a card and floated
to Meeko's hand.

Makoto came
up and they shared a hi five. "The Li
twins make their first capture!" Then
Makoto thought for a moment. "But
wasn't it… 'To thy true form, return, Clow Card?" (Japanese version)

Meeko stuck
her tongue at her twin. "So I made it
up! I worked didn't it?" She gasped and Makoto turned around.

"Dad!" There Syaoran was standing, Sakura behind
him, carrying his sword. Makoto fumbled
for the right words. "Well, you see it
was such a pretty night, that we decided to go for a walk and…"

"Save
it." Syaoran cut him off.

Sakura ran
to Meeko and grabbed her into a hug.
"Are you okay sweetie, you could've been hurt."

"I'm fine
mom." Meeko hugged her mom back. "We made out first capture!" She showed her mother the Fly Card. Her mother smiled and nodded.

Syaoran
looked over at his daughter. "The
Cards?"

Meeko
swallowed hard under her father's look and handed her mother the Sakura
Cards. "They didn't work anyway."

"Well, they
won't…" Sakura said. "Unless you're
Sakura." She winked at her daughter and
Meeko smiled.

"I'd say
it's time to go home." Syaoran
said. They all walked home, once again
in silence.



"What!" Makoto exclaimed. "Grounded?" He couldn't
believe what he was hearing. "For
what! Doing what we're supposed to?"

Syaoran
shook his head. "For going, one,
without permission, and two, without telling your mother or me."

Sakura nodded her agreement. "You could've gotten hurt."

Makoto rolled his eyes. "But we didn't and we made a capture!"

"The ends don't justify the
means. These things have to be done
right." Syaoran argued.

Makoto pouted, but said no
more. "Now to your rooms. You still have to get some sleep." Sakura said. Makoto stormed upstairs, while Meeko went slowly after.

She reached the bottom of the
stairs. "Gomennasai." Then she silently went to her room.

Sakura sighed and Syaoran wrapped
an arm around his wife. "Makoto takes
after you. He has your temper." Sakura giggled.

"Well, he'll grow out of it." Syaoran replied. "Hopefully."

Sakura laid her head on Syaoran's
chest. "You think Kero will get mad we
didn't wake him for this?"

Syaoran rolled his eyes. "You can tell that stuffed animal in the
morning."

Sakura giggle and together, she and
Syaoran went back to the room, to hopefully have a good night's rest.
