Moving to a new town was meant to be a fresh start. But for you, Tomoeda wasn’t just another town—it was where the Clow Cards had once been scattered, their magic lingering in the air.

You took a deep breath as you stepped into the classroom of Tomoeda Junior High School. New school, new town… but your mission remained unchanged.

As you introduced yourself to the class, you could feel the weight of a few curious gazes on you. But one pair of eyes stood out above the rest.

Syaoran Li. There was something in the way he looked at you—something too intense, too knowing. You quickly made your way to your seat, which, by some strange twist of fate, was right next to his.

In front of you, a cheerful girl with short brown hair turned around and waved with a bright smile. “Hi! I’m Sakura!” she said, her tone warm and welcoming.

Beside her, another girl, taller with long dark hair, offered a polite nod. “I’m Tomoyo. It’s nice to meet you.”

You smiled back, doing your best to appear normal, even though your heart was racing. They seemed friendly enough, but you couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

When the bell rang, signaling the end of the class, you gathered your things. But as you stood up to leave, you felt a presence blocking your way. It was him again. Syaoran Li.

Before you could move, his voice cut through the air.

“You’re not like the others,” he said, his voice low and firm. “I can feel it.”

Sakura tilted her head, curious. “Syaoran, what do you mean?”

Syaoran didn’t break eye contact with you. “You’ve been searching for them, haven’t you?”

The Clow Cards. Your heart skipped a beat. How could he possibly know?

Sakura’s eyes widened, a flicker of realization passing over her face. “Wait… you mean the Clow Cards?” she asked softly.

Syaoran nodded, his gaze still intense. “You’re not the only one looking for them. Sakura, Kerobero, and I are protecting the cards. And I won’t let anyone else take them.”

Kerobero ? You’d heard that name before. Kerobero, the guardian of the Clow Cards.
