Chapter 54: The Threads That Bind!: The Threads Of Fate That Bind Us All!

Things had returned to normal, at least for the moment since the incident with the piano. However, it was becoming more and more obvious that the presence that Sakura, myself and Li were sensing at each of these incidences, resembled a lot like Clow Reed, which didn't make any sense since he had been dead for centuries.

After Chelsea had revealed to both Sakura and myself of a teddy bear kit that she had bought and built from the towns craft store, Sakura decided to go and buy one for herself, and, after some convincing from her, I decided to buy myself one as well. At the towns craft store, Sakura and myself were joined by Eli, who at the time was buying a lot of balls of string. And yet, neither of us thought of this as the slightest bit strange.

It was a short time later, that both Sakura and myself decided to meet up with Li and Madison in the town square. However, after we had all met up and started conversing, Sakura, myself and Li, once again began to feel the presence of Clow Reed. It was then that Li's body began to move of its own accord, to which he used his jian and went after sakura first, then after me, this continued on for a considerable amount of time, until Li decided to use his water element talisman to expose the fact that a huge amount of strings was causing him to do this. It was then that Sakura and I knew exactly what had to be done. We then pulled out our respective keys, "Oh key of the star, with powers burning bright, reveal the staff, and shine your light, Release!" Sakura and I chanted in unison. And, with our respective staffs now in hand, I then pulled out the sword card. I then threw the Sword card up into the air, "We call upon the power of our stars, ancient forces near and far, sword card discard your former might, and draw your power from our light, Star card!" Sakura and I chanted in unison as both of our respective staffs were then changed to swords in a flash of light. We then used our swords to cut through the strings that bound Li. However, neither of us would know it yet, but off somewhere else, an all too familiar kid was watching us, and he knew that until the final test, neither Sakura, myself or Li must find out who he truly is.
