Cardcaptor Sakura: The Forgotten Second Volume

[3] Fight Time With Time

3RD POV

Their eyes met and brains swirled. Neither one could seem to process how they were here, together, reunited. Their breathing becoming more unsettled by the second.

Tomoyo sat at the sidelines, one hand slipped inside the camera strap, the other watching the small screen with piping interest.

Sure Meilin was confused as to why Syaoran was here, she was actually kind of upset. Upset that the two have met again. Her mind buzzes through how close they were in elementary school. How long Syaoran had been depressed when he had been forced to leave Japan, to leave Sakura. Yet, she decided not to cut in, to allow them to realize that this moment wasn't a dream.

Time had past. Seconds, minutes. Almost an hour. They only stared.

Sakura was first to look away, her brows quickly scrunched in confusion, there was that force again. The one she had been feeling for the past two days, the dark, mysterious force.

Syaoran followed quickly after, his trance being snapped by Sakura's green eyes leaving his deep brown ones.

"Li-kin, look!" The boys gaze snapped to clock Sakura pointed to, the hour hand was moving like a minute hand. The minute hand was speeding by like the second hand, and the second hand wheeling by ten times faster than normal.

"Why-" Syaorans question was cut off, the two suddenly teleporting back to staring. Both there eyes move to the clock.

They'd gone back in time.

"What is happening?!"

Syaoran glanced over to a frazzled Sakura, "While I was gone did something happen to Clow Cards?"

"No. Nothing." Sakura's head dizzied, swamped with thoughts: The cards been kept safe and sound back in there book at home for the past few years. Then why is the time card here, and not there. Is this maybe another card of the same power? The card couldn't have gotten out. Could it have?

The brunette brought a hand to his head, "What are we going to do?" He grunted, rubbing his eyes.

A small light flashed, and they were back staring at each other, "Again!?" Sakura frowned.

Syaoran turned on his heel and ran towards the clock. He grabbed a fairly large rock from the ground and aimed it at the ticking circle, bring his arm back and chucking it forward.

But just before the rock could even tip the glass, time froze, and there they were, right back in front of each other. The both released a deep sigh.

They paced awhile, teleporting back and forth a few times. Stealing glances at each other every once in a while.

"Wait, so judging by this aura, this isn't a Clow Card, correct?" Sakura nodded. "Do you have the Clow cards on you?" She nodded again, reaching into her bag and pulling out the slightly worn book. She'd been keeping it near her since she's began to feel weird auras.

Her hands shuffled through the deck, a smile appearing on her face as she slowly began to get her past partners plan.

She drew out her own time card and shared a smile with Syaoran. "Let's just hope this works."
