Tomoyo: Hi. (Hi~ Sakura-chan!!)
Sakura: Hi, Tomoyo-chan.
Tomoyo: You...somehow look very worried. (Something happened?)
Sakura : Really? I'm worried about birthday present.
Tomoyo: Tsukishiro-san's birthday was definately December 25th, wasn't it. You're not sure what to give him?
Sakuar: I don't know what Yukito-san would like. I have allowance collected, but I can't buy anything expensive. (Just what should I give him?) (Ah~ right.)
Tomoyo: Let's ask Rika-chan.
Sakura: Right! Rika-chan goes out with an older person. (Whoever he is~) Rika-chan!
Rika: Hi! (Sakura and Tomoyo-chan are early, too.)
Tomoyo: Um, let's talk.
Rika: Birthday present? How old is that person?
Sakura: Um...sophomore in highschool.
Rika: What is he like?
Sakura: How is he? Well, his smiling fave is great, and he's good at sports, and he eats a whole lot, and...
Rika: I was going to buy a christmas present, too. Let's go together on the way home.
Sakrua: Really?
Rika: Yeah.
Tomoyo: That's great.
Sakura: yeah.
Terada: Let's start the homeroom--! (Go back to your room~) (Good morning, teacher.) I'll introduce a new student today. (Wow~ I wonder how that person looks like?)
Tomoyo: It's amazing that a new student is coming at winter.
Sakura: I wonder what that person is like?
Terada: Okay, come in. (Wow~ I wanna be friends.. Oh! -- isn't she a girl? --how cute~)
Sakura: Huh, huh~?
Terada: Li Shaoran-kun came from Hong Kong.
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan, you can't see the blackboard well?
Sakura: U, um, that's....
Terada: Please be good friends. Your seat will be...behind Kinomoto looks good.
Stare. STARE~ SOME MORE.
Tomoyo: Your seat is here.
Why, why is he like that?
Teacher: And kanji is seperated into different kinds. LIke the supporting "ju" or oil "yu", they are separated into left and right words.
Why? It's my first time seeing that guy. Why? WHY??
Teacher: that's it for today! (Yes ma'am--)
Shaoran: I want to talk to you for a second.
Sakura: Ah, um, why....
Shaoran ;The rule of heaven and earth shall govern thee. By the right given to me I summon. The power of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, and storm. Following the new law....hurry, and come forth! You have the Clow Cards.
Sakura: How did you....
Shaoran: This compass board is made to find the Clow Cards. Give'em to me.
Sakura: Wh, what?
Shaoran: The Clow Cards.
Sakrau :I can't. I promised with Kero-chan to collect all the Clow Cards.
Shaoran: Kero... Cerberus, the guardian of the seal?
Sakura: You know him, too?
Shaoran: If Cerberus is here, I don't know why the cards are in the hands of a child like her.
Sakura: Kero-chan said he can't become big because his magic is not strong enought.
Shaoran: Cerberus's symbol is the Sun. From the Fire or Earth Card, you weren't able to find a single one yet. When did you start collecting them?
Sakura: This year's April.
Shaoran: You searched for nine monthes and that's all you've got?
Sakura: Then how do you know about the Clow Cards.
Shaoran: None of your beeswax. I'll find the rest. Give'em to me.
Sakura: I can't!
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan!
Touya: You bastard! What the hell are you doin' to my little sister?!
Sakura: Oniichan!
Tomoyo: You okay, Sakura-chan? (Nothing happened~)
Touya: Why you little.
Yukito: Eat meat buns! Hi! I bought meat buns. I also have pizza and curry ones.

Yukito: Huh? You guys want one, too? Here. (Meat bun.)
Sakura: What theee?!
Tomoyo: Did you ask Kero about the new student?
Sakura: I called, but he wouldn't answer. (Must be sleeping, without a doubt.) <Kero at that time-- Sleeping.>
Tomoyo: But there really is another one who knows about the Clow Cards.
Sakura: Clow Reed who created these cards must have been a really famous magician.
Rika: It's here.
Sakura and Tomoyo: Wow!
Rika: It's a store I recently found. I thought Sakura-chan would like a place like this, too, so.
Sakura: I totally like them!
Rika: Hope you find good presents.
Sakura: I hope so, too. Ah.
Tomoyo: Oh, how cute.
Sakura: Y...yeah, but wouldn't a rice bowl be strange for a birthday present?
Tomoyo: But it really goes well with Yukito-san. (He eats so much, so!) (Right--)
Rika: Ah.
Sakura: Pretty. A pin-brooch, right?
Rika: I'll buy this. (I'm somehow attracted to it.)
Sakura: I came back.
Touya: Welcome home. (Oh, oniichan's turn to cook.) Nothing happened after that, right? (Huff--)
Sakura: Yeah. I'm okay. (I went around with Tomoyo-chan...) I'll come back after changing.
Touya: I have part-time today! (I'm gonna go out after cooking, so eat well by youself!)
Sakura: Kero-chan! Today at school! (He's sleeping~)
Kero wakes up precisely on time, but once he's asleep, it's impossible to wake him up.
Sakura: Kero-chan!
Kero: Yue...
Sakura: Yu..e?
Kero: No! If you do such a thing, the cards will.... <CRASH!>
Sakura: Kero!
Kero: Huh?
Sakura: You okay?
Kero: My head hurts.
Sakura: You hit the wall in your sleep. (Why am I doin'...) (Oh yeah!) Do you know a kid named Li Shaoran?
Kero: He's probably the decendant of the Li family.
Sakura: Li family?
Kero: My master Clow Reed had an English man for father and a Chinese lady for a mother. So Clow's magic has a mix of European and Oriental magic(The mahoujin that appears when Sakura uses magic also has kanji and English mixed in 'em!) The magic Sakura is using right now is completely different magic that Clow had invented. The ancient magics can be handled by anyone as long as you keep all the orders and rules. But person who can invent a whole new magic is only a few people in this world.
Sakura: Clow Reed was a great person(Wow~)
Kero: Well, he personlly had lots of craps involved, but. (Problems?) And the Li family is the mother side of Clow. They're famous magicians in China and I heard Clow's mother was very powerful, too.
Sakuar: Then he was...
Kero: Must be a distant cousin of Clow. (I heard the Li family moved to Hong Kong, but appearing here...)
Sakura: Then I should have given these cards to him? (What should I do... I already said no~)
Kero: Not so. Sakura opened the book and woke me up. As I said when we first met, the book has a seal upon it, so person without sufficient magic can not open it. So that means Sakura has enough strength to handle the cards. now these cards have Sakura's name on 'em, so Sakura is their master. I guess he didn't do nothin'....
Sakura: What did you say?
Kero: Nothin'. But how would he have known that the cards got all separated?
Sakura: He had a board with lots of kanji on them. He called it the Compass Board.
Kero: Oh! Clow made that, too. So. He left the compass board on his mother's side.
Sakura: I understand that he's related to Clow, but why has he come all the way from Hong Kong? When I first met Kero, Kero said when Clow Cards' seal gets broken, a destruction shall take over this world. What kind of destruction? Can it be... I"m not sure, but something scary happens, or Earth splits in two?!
Kero: Such a thin' wouldn't happen.
Sakura: Whew... then what kind of things?
Kero: To some people, this chaos wouldn't be anythin' at all.
Sakura: That's good. <Ding-dong> Yes--!
Kero: But to some, it might be more painful than the Earth splittin' in two.
Sakura: Rika-chan! What's up, Rika-chan! (It's cold and you don't even have a coat on.) Oh, you put on the pin brooch you've bought today!
*Rika swings at Sakura*
Sakura: Rika-chan!
