Chapter 44: Under The Weather!: A Chance Of Cloudy Weather!

Okay, so it had been about a week. Though it may have been a little bit more or less then that. Which, though it was still not as easy for me to tell how long it had been since I had arrived in the Cardcaptor anime canon timeline. And though it moved as time usually did in the real world. I was now finally beginning to be able to properly gauge, just how long it had actually since me and Sakura had succeeded in the capturing of the Lock Card spirit. Mind you, this was during me, Sakura, Li, and Meilin, having to deal with the fact that the Lock Card spirit had locked all of us in a room. Which had actually wound up happening while me, Sakura, Li, and Meilin had been visiting a nearby berry farm.

And, it was only after I had come up with the idea of me and Sakura inserting our respective Clow keys into the two keyholes in the door. That the Lock Card spirit then appeared, and in its true form. Which though it then tried to escape, Li was quick to prevent this from happening, by using one of his elemental talismans to seal off the door, so that the Lock Card spirit couldn't escape. But, our recent capturing and sealing of the Lock Card spirit, was not what was currently on either me or Sakura's mind.

And this was due to me currently having to do with the clear and obvious fact, that Sakura was currently a bit under the weather. As in, she currently had a bit of a fever, as well as a cold. But while Sakura had been told to stay in bed until her condition had improved. This didn't stop either of us from having to once again go off, and seal and capture another Clow Card. So with this in mind, after we had both used the Mirror Card spirit, to clone each of us, in order to make sure that no one in the house realized that we weren't there while going out to capture the Clow Card. Me and Sakura, then proceeded to head out to capture the Clow Card. Which this time, was the Cloud Card.

And fast forwarding a couple of minutes later. As me and Sakura stood atop one of the buildings in town. I then realized, that not only was Sakura still not in any sort of condition to stabilize herself for long enough for me to be confident enough that we could seal the Cloud Card spirit. But this had now caused our current situation to start looking really really bad.

Because Sakura was currently having a rough time standing up straight, as the both of us stood on the roof of the building, as both Li and Meilin currently stood behind the both of us. And as a way for me to try and attempt to help Sakura remain upright for long enough for us both to successfully capture and seal the Cloud Card spirit...

"Sakura, I you need to focus, I know that you're a bit under the weather. But I need your help here if we are going to capture this Clow Card," I said with a clearly severe hint of worry in my tone of voice. But thankfully, Li was quick to assist us with this.

"Element, Fire, Come To My Aid!" Li proceeded to exclaim, as he then used his fire elemental talisman. And as the fire proceeded to shoot outwards, and towards a lone floating purple colored cloud just up and in front of me, Sakura, Li, and Meilin, and the roof of the building that the four of us were all still currently standing on top of.

A small looking girl proceeded to then suddenly appear out from the lone purple colored cloud. Which did in fact turn out, to be the Cloud Card spirit.

And it was then that I then proceeded to raise my respective Clow staff. However, as Sakura attempted to raise hers, I then immediately noticed that she had now suddenly begun to falter slightly. But, right before she wound up falling over completely. Meilin then proceeded to come behind her, and it was then that she did something that I wasn't expecting from someone like Meilin, she proceeded to support Sakura, by helping support her arms.

And it was then that I now realized, that thanks to Meilin's help. Sakura was now stable enough for the both of us to now capture and seal the Cloud Card spirit.

And it was then, with this now in mind. That me and Sakura, who now had the help and support of Meilin behind her, then proceeded to raise our respective Clow staffs. "Cloud Card, we command you to return to your power confined, Cloud!" Me and proceeded to chant together in unison. Albeit Sakura said this in a somewhat hoarse sounding tone. But despite this, we were still able to swing our respective Clow staffs down, at exactly the same time.

And then, with the all too familiar appearance of the light blue aura glowing Clow Card halves then suddenly materializing on the tips of our respective Clow staffs. And after the Cloud Card spirit had been broken down, and was then sucked into our respective Clow Card halves. To which both of the Clow Card halves had then combined together in order to form a complete and whole Clow Card, the Cloud Card spirit was captured and sealed. But, it wound up going to Li, instead of me and Sakura.

But, since Li had helped me and Sakura out, by using his fire elemental talisman to help draw out the Cloud Card spirit. I wound up pretty much instantly being okay with having the Cloud Card going to Li. But unfortunately, though yet another Clow Card spirit had now been successfully captured and sealed. We all still had a long way to go. And this did not include, what would wind up happening, even after all of the Clow Cards were all finally sealed and captured. But that, is a story for a much later date.
