The Second Generation
5



Konnichiwa! I'm Akiko!
You met me last time, the proud daughter of the, now married, Eriol and
Tomoyo! Last time, our two young rookie
cardcaptors made their first capture!
The Fly Card! Meeko tried once
to use her mother's cards, but that wouldn't work, because they only respond to
their mistress. They were in for a real
doozy when the Fly Card came after them!
But my friends were quick on their feet! They used their innate magical powers to freeze the Fly in its
tracks, and seal it! Though with their
parents coming around the corner, they were grounded for a time. But am I the only one who thinks grounding
them won't stop them?



Meeko sat
on her bed, reading one of her father's old magic books, trying to find out
more about who she was and what it was that she was expected to do. Not only her, but Makoto, her twin brother
and fellow cardcaptor.

Meeko
turned a page, when she noticed something.
It was written in Chinese, but that was all right. Her father had taught her Chinese and
Japanese, then also a little English, just in case. She tried to understand a certain passage in the book, but
couldn't quite concentrate.

Bang! Bang!
Bang!

That was
the sound of her brother's stupid soccer ball bouncing against the wall. He was still mad about the fact that they
were grounded for their little adventure.

Bang! Bang!
Bang!

He
continued to bounce the ball. The sound
was getting to be very annoying for Meeko.
She waited for him to throw the ball yet again, and then used her power
to create a shield right in the ball's path.
The ball hit her small red-hued shield and bounced back at Makoto. It smacked him in the head, knocking him to
the floor.

Meeko
couldn't help but giggle as stars flew in circles around Makoto's head. When he came around, he shot up and glared
at his sister, veins popping out anime style.
"What was that for!?"

"For
annoying me!" She accused.

He picked
up his soccer ball, and plopped himself next to his sister. "Whatcha readin'?" He asked.

"Magic."
She said simply.

Makoto
raised an eyebrow and peered over her shoulder to read the book, but upon
seeing the text, said, "Chinese?"

"Yep." She lightly elbowed him. "If you had listened to Dad when he
was teaching us, you would be able to read it too."

Makoto
glared at his sister. She grinned,
knowing full well what she had said was true.
Makoto had been skeptical about the usefulness of learning Chinese and
had paid little attention when Syaoran decided to teach them.

Makoto
sighed. "What does it say?"

Meeko began
to read from the ancient book. " 'If a
cardcaptor uses a spell, or a card, it uses magical energy. When a cardcaptor is magically drained, to
continue the spell, one starts to lose their life energy. For life energy and magical energy are
directly linked. This can be the rise
or downfall of a cardcaptor.'" Meeko
frowned.

"So we used
some of our magical energy last night."
Makoto concluded.

Meeko
nodded. "We need to be careful and not
cast too big of a spell until we're older."
Makoto nodded his agreement.

"Kids! We're leaving!" Sakura called.

Meeko and
Makoto got up and went downstairs.
Syaoran and Sakura were standing by the door. Sakura wore a white-laced blouse and a yellow pleated knee length
skirt. Syaoran wore a nice brown suit.

Sakura
smiled. "Your father and I are going
out. We'll be leaving you two alone."

Makoto
could barely contain his joy and whispered a "Yes!"

Syaoran
raised an eyebrow. "Don't think because
we're leaving that it automatically means you're off groundation."

"We're
leaving Kero…" Sakura added. "To watch
you guys."

Both
children's mouths dropped.
"Nani!?" Meeko exclaimed.

"Stuffed
animal plays babysitter?" Makoto asked.

Kero flew
in and rammed into the back of Makoto's head. "That's Mr. Stuffed Animal to you, brat boy!"

"Kero!" Sakura exclaimed.

Makoto
growled. "I'll call you what I want to
you miniature doggy chew toy!"

Kero had
three veins popping out. "Nani?! You want to know what I can do when I change
into my full form?!"

Makoto
crossed his arms, not impressed. "And
what would that be? A giant teddy
bear?"

Meeko
laughed. "Monzaemon!" (Digimon joke)

Syaoran
tried his best not to laugh, though he loved seeing his son really give it to
the guardian beast; he had to be the mature one. "Now, be good you too."

Meeko
giggled. "We will!"

Syaoran and
Sakura smiled and left.

"I'm gonna
go make something to eat." Meeko went
to the kitchen.

Kero flew
after her. "Don't think you can tempt
me with food! I'm not letting my guard
down!"

Meeko
shrugged. "Fine then. I won't make you
anything."

Kero
freaked out. "No! That's not what I meant!" Then he disappeared into the kitchen with
Meeko.

Back in the
living room, something was bothering Makoto.
He could sense it. He looked
around the room, trying to find the source of it. He heard something and walked over to the corner. The coffee table was tipped over on its
side. "Huh?"

Makoto bent
down and thought he heared a growl.
Then his amber eyes caught site of the pink tail. He frowned and reached out…big mistake.

Whatever
was there totally freaked out and started bouncing around the room. Makoto dove for cover behind the couch while
the little creature ricocheted around the living room. Makoto heard it bounce off the wall, the
ceiling…the piano.

"Hey!" Makoto poked his head up and was smacked in
the face with the pink creature. He
fell down and it landed on his stomach.
Makoto opened his eyes and saw the creature close up…



"No
tomatoes." Kero reminded.

"Okay." Meeko replied getting annoyed, rolling her
eyes.

"More
mayonnaise." He told her.

"I said
okay!" Just then, Meeko sensed
something. There was a loud crash and
Meeko heard her brother scream.

She dropped
the sandwich and ran to the living room.
"Oniichan!" She ran in a saw
everything in disarray. The coffee
table was tipped over, the piano bench was over on its side, and the source of
the crash was shattered all over the floor.
"Makoto that was mom's favorite vase!!"
She scolded him.

Makoto got
off the ground and looked at his sister, a black eye forming on his face. "It wasn't me!"

Just then
the pink thing shot into the living room, causing Meeko and Kero to dive for
the floor. "What is that?!"

"That's the
Jump Card!" Kero told her.

"It's
breaking everything!" Makoto shouted.

Meeko
quickly used her power to make a shield around her, and then made a dash for
the door.

Attracted
by her magic, the Jump Card went after her, bouncing repeatedly off the shield.

Meeko got
to the door and opened it, allowing the Jump Card out. She slammed the door after it.

Kero flew
over to Meeko. "Why'd you let it go?!"

"It
would've destroyed the house!" She
retorted.

"You're a
cardcaptor now! You're supposed to
capture the cards!" Kero replied.

"We will as
soon as we make a plan." Makoto said.

"How? We're grounded remember?" Meeko told him.

"We'll just
have to get someone else to bring it here."
Makoto replied.

"And that
would be?" Kero asked.

Makoto
winked. "Just leave everything to
me." He went over to the phone.

Meeko put
her hand on her forehead. "Oh, boy…"



The
doorbell rang and Makoto answered it.

"I'm
here!" Akiko greeted happily, and then
pulled out two costumes. "Mom made
these too!!"

Makoto
sweat dropped.



Akiko aimed
her video camera at the two newly dressed cardcaptors and zoomed in. "Oh you two look so kawaii!!!"

Meeko
looked down at what she was wearing.
She wore a black, long sleeved shirt and black pants. A long black tail and black ears were added
to finish the outfit.

"We choose
the cat outfit because of its known agility!
You'll be able to capture the Jump Card no problem!" Akiko explained.

"Guys do
not dress up as cats!!" Makoto
complained, "And I refuse to wear cat
ears!" He shoved the ears back and
Akiko and crossed his arms.

"Oh, but
then you won't be twins!" She whined.

"We're not
identical!" Makoto pointed out. "Because I am not a girl!"

Akiko
sighed in defeat. "Fine, fine." She put them away and aimed the camera at
Meeko.

"Release your
wand." She asked.

"Now?"

"Of
course!"

Meeko
rolled her eyes, but smiled. "All
right." She took out her key. "Oh key
of Clow, bestowed by right. Surrender
the wand. Surrender the light. Release!!!!" The key swirled and turned into a wand, which Meeko grasped and
held strongly in both hands.

Akiko
jumped for joy and turned to Makoto.
"Now…Nani?" She saw he had
already retrieved his key and it was now a sword.

Makoto
smiled. "Too late." He turned to his sister. "You know the plan?" She nodded.
He looked at Akiko. She
nodded. "All right."

He cupped
his hands in front of him and began to form a blue sphere. It turned into a solid ball. "Akiko?"
He said.

She stared
at wonder at the magic with wonder, and then carefully took it in her hands.

"He should
be attracted to the magic in the sphere.
When he starts to follow you, bring him here." Makoto reviewed.

"We'll take
care of the rest!" Meeko said
confidently.

Akiko
nodded. "Right!" Then she ran out of the house.

Kero flew
in. "The basement's ready, but I still
think this is a bad idea!"

"You got a
better one, cotton ball?"

Kero
growled. "This had better work!"

"It
will." Meeko assured. Then she felt it. "She's coming."

Makoto
nodded. "And she's got our little pink
ping pong boy with her."

"Let's jump
into action!" She ran to door and
opened it, just in time to have Akiko jump in and have the Jump Card zoom past
her, into the house.

Makoto
grinned. "Come on, Jump Card! Come and get me!" He taunted and made a dash to the basement.

The Jump
Card growled and followed Makoto, bouncing sideways against the hallways and
walls of the house. Meeko followed,
with Kero and Akiko close behind.

Makoto ran
down into the basement, leaving the door wide open, and ran into his parents'
secret room. This was the room where,
he had just found out recently, his parents practiced their magic. It was also the place where they were going
to capture the Jump Card.

The Jump
Card entered the small room and started ricocheting off the sides of the
room. After Meeko, Akiko and Kero made
it inside the room, Kero activated the sealing wall that had hid the room from
anyone in the basement. Now the Jump
Card was trapped.

The Jump
Card wasn't happy at all and started aiming his attacks at the two cardcaptors,
sensing their magic.

Makoto
dodged another attempt by the Jump Card to know him out and shouted. "We have to slow it down! Get it to where we want it to!"

Meeko
watched Jump bounce around the room, in a mad frenzy, and remembered
something. Just a few hours ago, Makoto
had been bouncing around his soccer ball against the wall. Meeko had stopped it with one of her
shields. That gave her an idea. "Makoto!"

Makoto
jumped up, dodging another blast and landed on his feet. "Nani!"

"Let's play
a little game of soccer!" She formed a
square shield with one end open at the end of the room.

Makoto saw
it. "Right!" He saw the Jump Card make a move at him and instead of dodging
him, jumped up and kicked him towards his sister. "Sis!" He cried.

Meeko
nodded and saw Jump go high. She took
out her only card. "Fly Card! Lend your powers to me! Fly Card!"
She hit it and instead of wings coming out of the wand, they grew out of
her back.

Kero's
mouthed dropped, as did Akiko's. "That's
not supposed to happen, is it?" She
asked.

Kero
watched in wonder. Sure enough, the
Clow Card that Meeko had caught was being used like a Sakura Card. "No it's not!" He replied.

Meeko
smiled at the white wings, and flew into the air, to intersect the Jump
Card. It came at her, so she swung her
wand at the approaching target, and hit it back towards her brother.

He was
ready. He jumped up again, but this
time angled his kick at the make shift goal his sister had made. Jump Card went flying into the goal, and
Meeko closed the shield.

She flew
down and landed in front of it. "Return
to the shape you were meant to be! Clow
Card!" Jump Card disintegrated and
formed into the card it was originally.
It stopped glowing and floated over to Makoto.

Meeko,
Makoto, Akiko, and even Kero, shared a high five. Now they had two less cards to worry about.

"Kids! We're home!" Sakura shouted. Then she
screamed. The kids down in the basement
all shared horror stricken faces.



"Kero! You were supposed to be watching them!" Syaoran scolded.

"But there
was a Clow Card!" Kero retorted.

Syaoran
rolled his eyes. "Now you sound like
the children."

Meeko and
Makoto sat on the couch, still in their cat outfits, though Akiko had gone
home. "Dad we did what we had to!"

"Yes
dear. Don't be too hard on them." Sakura said softly.

Syaoran
looked at his wife. "But they were
grounded and look at the house!"

"It can be
cleaned." Sakura pointed out. She turned to the children. "Why don't you go up to your room? I'll call you down when dinner's ready."

"Okay!" Both children said and ran up to their room.

Syaoran
shook his head and rubbed his eyes.
"Why'd you go against me on that?"

Sakura came
up from behind and started to give Syaoran a nice back massage. "I think you were be a little too hard on
them." She replied. "If it was a Clow Card when we were there
age, we wouldn't hesitate either."

"Besides,
they did a pretty good job." Kero said.

Syaoran
sighed. "Well, are we going to keep
them grounded?" He asked.

Sakura put
her arms around Syaoran's neck and whispered in his ear. "I don't think we should."

Syaoran
smiled and turned his head. "And why's
that?"

Sakura
shrugged. "I little bird told me that
they were going to have some special company tomorrow. I thought I'd be nice for them to actually
go outside and have some fun with them."

Syaoran
raised an eyebrow, and brought Sakura around to sit in his lap. "And who would that be?"

She giggled
and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Shinji."

At hearing
this, Syaoran gasped…
