Disclaimer: I don't own CCS

AN: You've probably all noticed that yes, I take ages to update. Well University plus no longer having an interest in CCS will do that to you, but I will finish this and the sequel eventually, just give me time.

"Class we have another exchange student from Hong Kong today." Syaoran looked up at Terada sensei's announcement, wondering who it was, but at the same time thinking that he should already know who it was going to be. "Please welcome Liang Rei."

Liang walked in and bowed to the class. "Hey Rei" Meiling sat up at the sound of Syaoran calling to her to show that she was listening. "Is Liang your brother or something? I mean, the two of you seem really close."

"Hey Li lay off her." Syaoran almost jumped when he turned back around to see Liang leaning against his desk with a glare set on his face.

"Er... Sorry?" Seemingly accepting his apology, the boy moved back.

"Mr Rei, if you don't mind, would you please find a seat?" Liang almost immediately glared at the student that sat beside Meiling and they were quick to grab their things and hurry off to another seat as Liang took the seat beside the girl. Once everything had settled down and Terada sensei had started the class, Syaoran noticed a note on his desk. Carefully he picked it up and opened it.

'Liang is my cousin. And my fiancé.'


When Syaoran Got Home.


"I'm home." Syaoran called through the house. The only reply he got was Sakura floating in the room with Kero following after her. "Holy… Don't do that! What if someone saw you?"

"Touya's gone to some new part time job with Yukito and your dad said that he's not getting home till late. By the way, it's a good thing you're home. There's another card at the park. We were waiting for you to get back so that you could go get it."

"And that's a perfectly good excuse to wander around the house like that? What if someone looked through the windows and saw you two?" Sakura just shrugged her shoulders.

"It's not like anyone saw is, besides, we don't have any time for that." Kero interrupted the two as he started tugging on Syaoran's shirt. "We have to go get that card before that Chinese girl gets it."

"You know I've always wondered about this Kero…" Syaoran began as the small creature dragged him out of the house with Sakura following after them. Her wings disappeared as soon as they were out the door and Kero settled himself on Syaoran's shoulder. "Why are you so worried about getting there first? I don't think Meiling can seal the cards without me."

"It doesn't matter who seals the card. The card will always go to the person that deserves it the most. In other words, the person that does the most work, so if she was the one to knock it down while you just sealed it, who do you think it would go to?" Grudgingly Syaoran shut his mouth at Sakura's reply. Once they got to the park, they noticed that there were two people already at the park. They seemed to be fighting each other.

"Liang?" The boy in question turned at the sound of Syaoran's voice.

"What the… What the hell are you doing here?" Liang quickly dodged an almost hit from the girl he was fighting with.

"That's the Fight Card." Kero almost immediately identified the girl that Liang was fighting. Once they got close enough, the Card seemed to have lost all interest in Liang and turned its attention onto Sakura. She was quick to block the first blow from it. Liang blinked in surprise, while Syaoran did the same.

"Why did it just go for Sakura?"

"The Fight Card is only interested in strong opponents. If someone stronger than her current opponent appears, she'll just turn around and go for them."

"So… You're saying that Sakura's stronger than Liang?"

"Well, considering that this little brat has no magical abilities… Even you'd be stronger than him right now, despite the fact that you don't even know how to throw a proper punch." Syaoran glared at him at that.

"I know how to hit people, I just choose not to." Kero just rolled his eyes disbelievingly.

"LIANG!" Everyone but Sakura jumped at the sound of Meiling yelling. "HOW DARE YOU!" Liang almost looked like he was going to shrink back at the tone of Meiling's voice.

"M… Meiling… Fancy seeing you here." At least Liang had the decency to look nervous as his fiancée jumped down from a nearby streetlight and landed right next to him. She held out her hand expectantly.

"Give it back." They both stared at each other for a few moments before Liang sighed, holding out a familiar board that Meiling snatched back.

"It didn't work anyway."

"What is that thing?" Syaoran questioned as he tried to get a better look at it.

"It's a Lazin Board. It's what I used to find out that you were the Cardcaptor, and it helps me to find new cards when they appear." Meiling answered automatically. "And it only works for people who have magical powers." She glared at Liang.

"But Wei tried to use it and it didn't work." Liang pouted.

"That's because Wei doesn't have any magical powers you idiot. Never touch my stuff again of else I'll report you to my mother."

"You can't do that I'm your fiancé!"

"That's right. You're JUST my fiancé." Liang shrunk back. "Nothing you say matters to me until we get married. IF we get married."

"Fine… Whatever" Liang crossed his arms.

"If you children are done bickering like five year olds, I'd like to remind you that I'm here fighting this card on my own." Sakura said irritably as she blocked yet another punch from Fight.

"Sakura look out!" Just as Syaoran called out at her, the Fight card pulled back and kicked her right in the stomach. Wincing, the guardian ignored the pain and merely moved to hit the card again. Her attack was dodged and she felt another blow to her stomach before she was kicked into a tree.

"Sakura!" Kero was quick to rush to her aid.

"Damn it." Sakura muttered as she pressed a hand to her stomach. She moved to get up again but Kero stopped her.

"That's enough, we'll let them handle it, you're hurt enough as it is." She glared and opened her mouth to retort but Syaoran beat her to it.

"I'll fight her." He brought out his wand. "Power!" He could feel his muscles strengthen as the cards magic started working and the Fight card turned her attention towards him. Just as Syaoran got into a fighting stance, the card charged at him, throwing a quick punch that he quickly dodged and his fist met her stomach before he twisted his body and hit her on the back of her neck with the side of his wand, effectively knocking her out. "Return to your power confined Fight!" There was a swirl of magic as Fight returned to her card form and floated into Syaoran's hand.

"Hey, Sakura are you ok to walk now?" Syaoran seemed to just remember that his guardian was injured and rushed over to help her as she tried to get up. She was quick to push his hand away.

"I'm fine, I can get up on my own." Once she was standing, she changed into her false form. All signs of her injuries disappeared and she stretched. "That's better."

"Good." Both Kero and Syaoran sighed in relief while the other two watched.
