The Second Generation
6

Konnichiwa!!! Kero-chan here! I'm going to tell you about our last little adventure. Well, with Meeko and Makoto grounded, and
Sakura and the Chinese Brat… (Syaoran:
What did you say you little stuffed animal!) All right! Sakura and Syaoran
on a date, which left me to baby-sit the kids. They were good for a time, until the annoying little Jump Card
made an entrance. It trashed the living
room, and stopped Meeko from making my sandwich! Anyway, the Brat Boy… (Sakura: Kero!) Okay! Boy I can't get
away with anything. Makoto made
up a plan to capture the Jump Card, which I thought was brilliant from the
beginning. (Makoto: You were against it the whole time!) Will you guys stop interrupting me!!! The plan worked and Makoto was awarded the
Jump Card. Sakura let the kids off
groundation because she knew of a special someone who would be visiting. And that's all I'm gonna say. Ja ne!!

Meeko sat in her bed, ready for
bed, but couldn't sleep. She laid down
and stared up at the bottom of her brother's bed. "Makoto."

"Nani?" Her brother answered.

"Why do you
think mom and dad let us off like that?"
She asked.

Makoto's
head popped over the side of the bed.
"They probably finally accept that we're good at what we do."

Meeko
frowned. "No, I don't think that's
it. I think they know something. Something's gonna happen tomorrow."

Makoto
cocked his head to the side. "You
think?"

Meeko
smirked at her brother. "More like, I
sense?"

Makoto
laughed and laid back down on his bed.
"Well, I for one want to be up and alert if anything happens. Oyasumi Nasai."

Meeko
pulled up her covers to her chin.
"Oyasumi Nasai." Then both
closed their eyes.

The next
morning, Meeko and Makoto got dressed and ready for school. They went downstairs and sat at the
table. Sakura brought breakfast and
Syaoran came in with some drinks.

The family
started eating, Kero in the middle of the table, chowing down. Meeko took a bite of food and looked at her
mother. "What's happening today?"

Sakura
looked up from her meal. "What makes
you think anything's gonna happen?" She
responded, not letting any information slip out.

Meeko
rolled her eyes. "Oh, you can't hide it
from me. I can sense things too you
know."

Syaoran
raised an eyebrow. "And just what do
you sense, cardcaptor?"

Meeko
shrugged. "Something, new…unexpected."

"Expect
the…" Kero started.

"…The
unexpected." Sakura and Syaoran recited
the rest.

Makoto and
Meeko giggled, along with Sakura and Syaoran, but Kero just pouted. "Well, it's very good advice!" He defended.

Sakura
patted his head. "Yes, we know. That's why we memorized your little
proverb."

Syaoran
laughed. "Proverb? Don't you mean bible? He lives by that phrase."

Kero popped
a few veins. "If you cared to remember, that "phrase" has saved you butt quite
a few times!!"

"Are you
kidding? I could've still done
everything I did without it!"

Meeko and
Sakura sweat dropped, while Makoto nodded in approval at his father's behavior
towards the plush toy.

Meeko got
up and brought up Makoto with her.
"Maybe we should leave for school."

"What about
all those times…!"

"What do
you mean all those time you never…!

Syaoran and
Kero continued to argue, while Sakura walked Meeko and Makoto to the door. She kissed them on the top of their
heads. "See you after school."

"Ja
ne!" They both replied and left for
school.

Sakura
looked back and saw both boys still fighting.
She shook her head. "Some days I
wish I could run away to school to avoid these arguments." Then she went over to break the two up.

Meeko
tapped her pencil on her desk, waiting for the morning pop quiz to finish. The seconds seemed to tick by ever so
slowly. Finally time was up. The substitute teacher walked to the front
of the classroom (Because the other is still "Indisposed"). "All right, everyone. Put your pencils down and pass your papers
to the front."

Meeko
passed hers up, and tried to sit still as her sense of anxiety grew. Finally all papers were handed in and the
teacher went behind to podium. "Now
class, we have a new exchange student." (You guys all saw this coming) She turned to the door. "Onegai, please come in."

Meeko
turned her head to the door, and gasped as the student walked in. He walked to the front of the class and bowed
his greeting. "Konnichiwa. My name is Shinji and it's a pleasure to
meet you."

Meeko's
mouth fell, as did Makoto's. Shinji was
a friend like no other. He was the son
of Yukito and Nakuru Akizuki's marriage.
Nakuru Akizuki was one of Eriol's guardians. She has the power to change into Ruby Moon, with the power of
Clow Reed's magic in Eriol's staff. She
once worked besides Yukito and Touya at the water park, and had a crush on
Touya then. Later, after Yukito and
Touya had gone their own ways, Yukito, as well as Yue, had fallen in love with
Akizuki. Touya later had gotten married
to Kaho. (I forgot her last name) though haven't had any children. Suppi also lived with them.

Yukito had
introduced their son, Shinji, when the children were five. Meeko never said anything, but always
thought Shinji was cute. He had his
father's hair color and gorgeous hazel eyes.
Meeko smiled as Shinji winked at her.
He and the Li twins were best friends.
Yukito had moved away, and so Meeko never got to see a lot of
Shinji. She always missed him, and was
elated that he was back!

The teacher
looked around the room. "Let's see,
we'll sit you…" Meeko prayed and prayed.
"Behind Li-san." She pointed to
Meeko and Meeko nearly jumped out of her seat.
Shinji walked down the row and stopped between the Li twins. He shook hands with Makoto, and turned to
Meeko. "Good to see you again, Meeko."

She blushed
and stammered. "G…good to s…see you
t...too."

He smiled
and took his seat behind her. Makoto
looked over at his sister, and saw she was on cloud nine. And by the look in her eyes, she wasn't
coming back too soon.

After
school, Akiko, along with Meeko, Makoto, and Shinji, walked home. Meeko and Makoto agreed that it'd be okay to
mention the Clow Cards to Shinji. They
explained how they found the book, how the strange woman had tried to take the
book away, ending in the cards being scattered, and about their parents. They told Shinji that they had already
captured two cards, Fly and Jump. They
were confident that they could capture the cards again, just like their
parents.

Shinji on
the other hand, wasn't so sure, but he remained silent. He wouldn't say anything about how much he
knew about the Clow Cards. He knew
about his own parents' alternate identities, and had also learned a lot from
Yue about the Clow Cards, in case such a disaster ever came about. It looked like that disaster was here.

Shinji
looked over at Meeko and smiled inwardly.
He always thought she was cute, though never said anything. The way her long hair fell over her
shoulders, and the way her amber eyes sparkled whenever she way happy. She was always so energetic and sleepy. Now, looking at her chat with Akiko and her
brother, Shinji silently wore to never have anything happen to her. He would protect her, just like Yue
protected Sakura all those years ago.
But Shinji had a secret, one he knew would be out in the open soon, but
what he didn't know was how soon.

What
worried Shinji the most was that mysterious woman. Why would she want to Clow Cards? Something wasn't right.
He would have to think about that later. Right now his senses were picking up a Clow Card in the vicinity.

He stopped
walking, along with Meeko and Makoto.
Akiko looked at them strangely.
"What's wrong?"

Meeko
looked around and started walking forward.
"There's a Clow Card around here."
She said.

Suddenly,
the wind picked up and threatened to blow the children off their feet. Shinji tried to block Meeko from the wind,
while Makoto held onto Akiko, who threatened to fly into the air.

"What is
it?!" Meeko yelled over the howling
winds.

"I don't
know! What could make all this
wind?!" Akiko shouted.

Meeko and
Makoto gasped. "Windy!" They shouted, remembering their mother's
tale about the Windy.

"We have to
find out where it's coming from!"
Makoto suggested.

Meeko held
onto the back of Shinji's shirt with one hand and looked around to see if
anyone was around, there wasn't, so she pulled out her only card and key,
turning it into a wand first. "Fly!" Wings once again grew out of her back and
she flew up against the wind.

"Meeko!" Shinji shouted. He didn't like it. You
couldn't use Fly against Windy. It was
supposed to be the other way around! He
wanted to save her, but then, he'd have to reveal his secret.

Makoto took
out his card and hit it with his sword.
"Jump!" Little wings appeared on
Makoto's feet and he jumped up, trying to find the source of the wind. Shinji was left behind with Akiko, who had
her video camera out, recording the whole thing.

Meeko flew
against the wind, trying to see if she could find which direction the wind was
coming from. Right now, it seemed to be
coming from all sides! Suddenly, a
larger gust of wind blew, and knocked her off balance. She flew backwards and hit a tree. Her head hit hard against the tree trunk,
and she started to fall.

"Meeko!" Makoto shouted, but was too far away to get
to her in time.

"No!!!" Shinji quickly made a shield around Akiko,
to keep her from flying away, then jumped into the air. Instead of coming down though, white wings
grew out of his back and he flew up to catch Meeko. She fell into his arms, her eyes closed, blood coming out of the
back of her head.

He stayed
there, in mid air, holding Meeko in his arms, close to his chest, and yelled
out into the open. "Windy! If you're here! Show yourself! Look what
you've done! Look at the pain you
caused! You're a gentle card! Why are you doing this?"

The wind
died down, and Makoto came down to the ground.
Shinji narrowed his eyes, and watched carefully as Windy's visible form
showed it self. It looked sadly at
Meeko and Shinji. A tear fell from its
cheek. I'm sorry. It told them silently, then changed into
a card, no sealing required. To
everyone's amazement, it flew to Shinji.
He caught it, and flew slowly to the ground.

Makoto
looked at him with wonder and amazement, asking the silent question…Why
didn't you tell us?

Shinji
looked sadly down at Meeko, but refused to let her go. He replied with out looking up. "You know now." Then he turned and left to the house, his wings still out in the
open, his heart a little more broken.

Back at the
house, Sakura tended to Meeko's head injury, Syaoran and Makoto helping in what
ways they could. Yukito had come by
earlier, to talk to Sakura and Syaoran about the old times, but now he, as Yue,
and Shinji sat on the rooftop, discussing the day's events.

"So…they
know?" Yue asked.

Shinji
nodded, but didn't say anything. He did
what he had to to save Meeko. Yue
looked at his son. "What is done is
done, you needn't feel bad about it.
What matters now, is you take your responsibility."

Shinji
looked up at his father. "Nani?"

"You must
protect them in what ways you can. Help
them capture the cards. You have the
knowledge, you can help them, where we adults can't." Yue explained, for he too was restricted from helping the
cardcaptors, even though he knew it would kill his mistress if anything
happened to them, so he bestowed that right to his son.

Shinji
frowned. "Why did I get the card?"

Yue
smiled. "You were the one who called it
out, made it realize what it did wrong."

"Why was
Windy acting so violent in the first place?"
That also confused him.

Yue
frowned. "Something, or someone,
must've been influencing it somehow, it didn't have full control over its
actions, until you called it out." He
deduced.

Shinji
shook his head. "What a way to start a
new school…"
