Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

Li Xiaolang didn't speak, but just held the compass and chanted a spell: "The Jade Emperor has decreed, the divine inkstone is in all four directions, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, wind, thunder and lightning are hereby decreed, lightly grind the thunder and lightning, so be it!"

The compass quickly gave a prompt, only pointing to Sakura and Mikami Hiroyu. Sakura and Tomoyo were still unaware of what was happening when they saw Li Xiaolang bite his lip and jump back a step.

"I knew it! You have the Clow Cards and the Sealing Key, don't you?" Li Xiaolang said with certainty.

This surprised Sakura greatly. "You...how do you know about the Clow Cards?"

Li Xiaolang brandished the compass in his hand and explained, "This compass is specifically used to find Clow Cards."

Tomoyo, who was standing to the side, seemed to have noticed something. "That compass just now also shone light at Hiroyu. So, does Hiroyuki also have Clow Cards?"

Tomoyo's words surprised Sakura even more, and she looked at Hiroyuki Mikami with a look of astonishment. Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Hiroyuki Mikami smiled helplessly, "I thought I could keep it a secret for a while longer. I'm sorry, Sakura and Tomoyo. I'm also collecting Clow Cards."

As soon as Mikami Hiroyu finished speaking, the Clow Cards flew out of his pocket and began to circle around him.

Chapter Eleven: Li Xiaolang vs. Touya

Sakura counted the Clow Cards flying around Mikami Hiroyu, and then said in surprise, "Hiroyu, I didn't expect you to be a Cardcaptor Sakura too, and you have collected more Clow Cards than I have."

"Give it to me!" Li Xiaolang interrupted Sakura, reaching out to ask her for the Clow Cards.

Sakura, forgetting to talk to Mikami Hiroyu about the Clow Cards, instinctively clutched the bag containing the Clow Cards.

"No, I must take back all the Clow Cards. This is what Kero and I agreed on."

"Xiao Ke?"

"Brother, Kero is the sealing beast of the Clow Cards, Kero for short." Yu Shen Haoyu promptly answered Li Xiaolang's question.

"Since Cerberus is here, why give the cards to this brat?"

"That's because Cerberus's magic power wasn't enough to return to his original form, and he didn't have the ability to retrieve the Clow Cards. So he found Sakura, who opened the Book of Seals, to find the Clow Cards in his place." Mikami Hiroyu once again resolved Li Xiaolang's doubts.

“Cerberus is the symbol of the sun, and is in charge of ‘fire’ and ‘earth’. Now my younger brother, Mikami Hiroyu, has the fire card. So, is the ‘earth card THEEARTHY’ with you?” Li Xiaolang fully demonstrated his knowledge of Clow Cards.

"Haoyu, do you have a fire token?" Tomoyo, standing next to Mikami Haoyu, asked the question on Sakura's behalf.

"Is this what you mean?" Yu Shenhao pointed to the fire token that flew out when it heard someone call its name.

"Is this the Fire Card? It does indeed emanate a stronger magical power than the regular Clow Cards." Sakura can now sense the magnitude of the magical power emanating from the Clow Cards, so it seems she has grown quite a bit.

"Brother, I'll answer your question for Sakura. If I had known you would do this, I should have told you last night," said Yu Shenhaoyu, seeing that his older brother still wanted to ask Sakura a question, and took the initiative to answer it.

"The Clow Cards appeared in April, and it's May now, a month has passed. During this time, besides the eight Clow Cards I have here, Sakura, how many Clow Cards do you have?"

“I have four Clow Cards here,” Sakura said, touching the Clow Cards in her bag.

"So, with my 7 cards, that makes a total of 12 Clow Cards. There are 52 Clow Cards in total, so we've collected one-fifth. That's pretty good for collecting this many in a month."

"So you only collected 4 cards in a month? If it weren't for my brother, who knows how long it would have taken to collect all the Clow Cards?" Li Xiaolang launched another attack on Sakura.

"Hmm, that's right." Sakura said dejectedly, gripping the railing with both hands.

"Brother, don't make things difficult for Sakura. Just a month ago, Sakura was an ordinary elementary school student. Her grades are quite good." Yu Shenhaoyu had to interrupt Li Xiaolang again. If he continued, Sakura would start to doubt her abilities.

"Then why do you and Haoyu know so much about the Clow Cards?" Sakura seemed to have suddenly thought of this question.

"It's none of your business. Leave the rest to me and my brother. Give it to me!" Li Xiaolang demanded the Clow Cards from Sakura's hand again.

Sakura quickly ran to the side, clutching the Clow Card pocket tightly. "No, absolutely not!"

"That's enough, bro. It's no fun bullying a newbie," said Yu Shen Haoyu, putting away the Clow Cards and standing in front of Li Xiaolang.

Sakura was moved by "Haoyu".

"I wanted it precisely because she's a beginner, before she gets too deep into the game, while there's still time. You know how dangerous the Clow Cards are."

"I know the Clow Cards are dangerous, but fate chose her. Therefore, the sealing key is in her hands, not yours or mine. Fate chose Sakura to be connected to the Clow Cards, so it's alright."

"I can't argue with you, but if this kid gets into trouble, don't come to me for help!" Li Xiaolang said arrogantly.

Sakura, who was behind Mikami Hiroyu, overheard him talking about fate and something similar. Then, Mikami Hiroyu's older brother, Li Xiaolang, decided he didn't want his Clow Cards anymore. Although she didn't understand the meaning, she only understood that the Clow Cards were dangerous; the rest was unclear. After all, it's a bit difficult for an elementary school student who has only been exposed to magic for a month to understand fate.

"Thank you, Haoyu," Sakura said, releasing her grip on the Clow Card.

"It's nothing. If I had to say, I'm partly to blame," Mikami Hiroyu said apologetically.

Sakura raised a question mark above her head, indicating she didn't understand. "Haoyu, you still haven't told me why you and your brother know so much about the Clow Cards," Sakura asked again after finishing her discussion of the Clow Cards. Tomoyo, standing to the side, also looked on with curiosity.

Just as Yu Shenhaoyu was about to explain, Li Xiaolang silenced him with a single sentence, "Don't say it."

"Sakura, go back and tell Kei that we are from the Li family. Kei will tell you," Mikami Hiroyu suggested.

"The Li family, Xiao Ke? I'll go back and ask."

Li Xiaolang glared fiercely at Yu Shenhaoyu to express his dissatisfaction.

Just then, Sakura's older brother's voice came from the high school section: "What do you want to do to Sakura?"

Sakura's older brother, Touya Kinomoto, jumped over the fence and landed in front of Sakura. Seeing that Sakura was unharmed, he turned his attention to Hiroyu Mikami and Syaoran Li.

"I just saw you doing something unfriendly to Sakura. Tell me what you were planning to do to her?" Touya Kinomoto stared intently at Syaoran Li and Hiroyu Mikami.

Sakura was about to explain when she saw Li Xiaolang already assume a Taoist starting stance. Seeing Li Xiaolang's attack, her older brother chuckled and said, "A little kid like him, but he's got the skills!" He then began using his own karate.

"Brother, stopping isn't what you think. Haoyu, please help me persuade my brother," Xiaoying said anxiously.

Sakura's Haoyu, far from trying to mediate, was also somewhat annoyed by Kinomoto Touya's comment that "a child with such ambitions" negated the Li family's tradition. Although he couldn't learn his own Taoist arts, Mikami Haoyu didn't want outsiders to look down on him as a Taoist.

"Brother, let's set an example for this older brother, don't let him look down on kids. Don't worry, Sakura, my brother will know what he's doing."

"That little kid from last time, the good friend Sakura mentioned?" Although they only met once, Mikami Hiroyu left a deep impression on Kinomoto Touya.

"I'd like to see what you mean by 'knowing your limits'," Touya Kinomoto said, launching the first attack.

The duel was decided in less than 30 seconds. Although Kinomoto Touya possessed considerable magical power, he failed to realize that Kinomoto Touya, without using his magic, was merely a simple high school student. If Li Syaoran couldn't even easily defeat an ordinary high school student, how could he possibly capture the Clow Cards?

"Brother, you've misunderstood. It wasn't what you think just now," Sakura said, not surprised that her brother had been easily defeated by Li Xiaolang. Instead, she comforted him and explained what had happened.

After learning what had happened, Sakura told Touya Kinomoto a different version of the story. She couldn't let her brother know about the Clow Cards, so she gave him a different version.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier," Touya Kinomoto said, bowing in apology.

"It's nothing, just don't rush into judgments in the future, and don't underestimate elementary school students." Yu Shen Haoyu saw his older brother with his head turned away, so he had to do it himself. Although, it was strange for a fourth-grade elementary school student to lecture a high school student.

"No way, I didn't expect your brother to be so capable."

"Chinese martial arts are far superior to karate," Li Xiaolang interjected appropriately.

"What my brother said makes sense, but our family is a bit special."

Kinomoto Touya realized he shouldn't have asked any more questions, and an awkward silence fell over the room.

Just then, a high school student wearing glasses appeared on the other side of the fence. "I bought the meat buns, and then I realized you weren't here. So I knew you were here. Sakura's here too."

The appearance of this high school student broke the awkward silence, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ayumi," Kinomoto Touya said.

Hiroyuki noticed that Sakura seemed a bit off after Yuki appeared. Her face was flushed, and she spoke haltingly. Fortunately, Tomoyo resolved her doubts.

"This high school student is Yukito Tsukishiro. He's Sakura's brother's classmate and also the person Sakura likes. The candy in Sakura's hand was given to her by him."

After Yukito Tsukishiro appeared, he flew the meat buns he had bought to everyone present. Upon receiving the buns, everyone unceremoniously said, "Let's dig in!" and began eating.

It seems that this gentle and considerate Yukito Tsukishiro shared meat buns with both Mikami Hiroyu and Li Xiaolang, whom he had just met.

However, when Hiroyuki Mikami was receiving the meat bun, he accidentally touched Yukito Tsukishiro's hand and discovered something. The instant he touched it, Hiroyuki Mikami sensed the magic of the Clow Cards—the magic of the moon, the opposite of the sun's symbol, Cerberus. And what's more, this magic was even weaker than the magic of Cerberus, who had been transformed into a doll.

Yukio Mikami suspects that Yukito Tsukishiro is likely Yue, the one who controls the Yin-attribute power of the Clow Cards. However, while the Moon's magical power within Yukito is very pure, it's impossible to sustain his current energy expenditure through magic alone, just like Cerberus, who can only transform into the doll Kero due to insufficient magical power. Yukito Tsukishiro is probably his incarnation; no wonder he discovered Yue's magical power in Touya Kinomoto last time.

Seeing that Yu Shen Haoyu had fallen silent after receiving the Yuecheng Snow Rabbit meat bun, Li Xiaolang walked over to him and asked, "What's wrong? Did you discover something?"

"This isn't a good place. Let's talk about it when we get home," Yu Shenhao said quietly, noticing the large number of people around them.

Li Xiaolang expressed his understanding, while Yushin Hiroyu noticed Sakura staring at Yukito Tsukishiro with a somewhat infatuated expression, leaving him at a loss. Yushin Hiroyu was 9% certain that Yukito Tsukishiro was Yue, but how could he tell Sakura? This question stumped him.

Chapter Twelve: The Li Family

As soon as Sakura got home, she rushed upstairs. Even when her father greeted her, she only gave a hurried reply.

At that moment, Sakura's brother Touya returned.

"Touya, what's wrong with Sakura?" Sakura's father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, asked with concern.

"I don't know, she just came home from school like this." Touya didn't know Sakura would act like this, she just reacted like this after seeing that Chinese boy. Touya only knew that Sakura was curious about the Li family that the boy belonged to.

Moreover, it wasn't just Sakura who was acting strangely; even Yukito seemed different from usual, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Although Yukito appeared much the same as usual, Touya still sensed it.

It has to be said that Touya's astonishing perception was probably due to the effect of his magic. When Mikami Hiroyu confirmed that Tsukishiro Yukito was Yue, he discovered that Yue's magic was so weak that it could disappear at any moment. So he found an excuse to contact Tsukishiro Yukito again and shared a portion of his magic with him.

Hiroyu Mikami's actions were driven by several factors: First, he wanted to prevent the Yin attribute of Moon, representing the "Water" and "Wind" cards in the Sikuro decks, from disappearing. He was unsure what unpredictable events might occur if the Yin attribute vanished. Second, he discovered that Sakura harbored romantic feelings for Yukito Tsukishiro, who might be the Moon. This left Mikami unsure of what to do, and to prevent Moon from harming Sakura, he decided to awaken the Moon within Yukito Tsukishiro and let them resolve the situation themselves.

After Mikami Hiroyu provided a considerable amount of magic power, he and Kaga confirmed that Tsukishiro Yukito was indeed Tsuki. As Tsukishiro Yukito left, citing sudden discomfort, Mikami Hiroyu noticed a different meaning in Yukito's eyes—a mixture of surprise and gratitude.

"Really? Go up and check on it in a bit," Fujitaka Kinomoto said worriedly.

"Ok"

As soon as Sakura got home, she pulled Kero out of his game world. "Kero, I have a question for you."

"What's wrong, Sakura? Why are you in such a hurry? Don't rush, let's rest first." Although Xiao Ke was regretting that she was about to finish the game, she saw that Sakura seemed to have something important to say.

After Sakura calmed down, Kero asked, "Sakura, what happened at school today? Why are you in such a hurry? Is it related to the Clow Cards?"

"In a way, you could say it's related to the Clow Cards. Xiao Ke, do you know the Li family?"

"The Li family? Sakura, you've met people from the Li family?" Xiao Ke asked curiously when she heard Sakura mention the Li family.

"Kero, so you know about the Li family?" Sakura asked, seeing Kero's reaction.

"Sakura, my master Clow Reed's father is from Ying and his mother is from China. So most of Clow Magic is a fusion of Western and Eastern magic. Sakura, the magic circles you use have both English and Chinese characters, right?"

"Okay," Sakura nodded.

"Sakura, the magic you're using now is magic created by Clow Reed, magic passed down from ancient times. Anyone can use magic to some extent as long as they follow the methods and abide by the agreements. However, there are only a handful of magicians in the world who can create entirely new magic." Kero introduced Sakura to the knowledge about magic for the first time.

"Mr. Kuro is really amazing," Sakura said with admiration.

"However, I actually have quite a few problems myself..." Xiao Ke seemed to recall some embarrassing past events, and a somber look appeared on her face.

"question?"

"It's nothing. By the way, the Li family is Kuro's mother's family. I heard they are also a famous Taoist family in the Celestial Empire. I heard that the Li family moved to Hong Kong. I don't know if it's true." Xiao Ke changed the subject.

"Xiao Ke, I might know the answer to this question?"

"You know them? That makes sense. Since you know the Li family, it means you know them," Xiao Ke said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, it was Yu Shen Hao Yu who told me to come back and ask you about the Li family. According to you, Xiao Ke, why do Yu Shen Hao Yu and his brother Li Xiao Lang know so much about the Clow Cards?" Sakura clenched her left hand, then lightly tapped her right hand, suddenly realizing.

"Sakura, you said that Mikami Hiroyu is a member of the Li family?" Keroberos was a little confused.

"Oh, right, Haoyu also has Clow Cards, and even more than me, he already has 7. And, I heard from Haoyu's brother that Kero is in charge of 'fire' and 'earth' or something," Sakura recalled, touching her chin with her left hand.

"Looks like I need to give you a little lesson on the Clow Cards, Sakura, or those two boys from the Li family will laugh at you again."

In the following time, Kero carefully explained the knowledge about the Clow Cards to Sakura, which benefited Sakura a lot.

"Kero, does that mean that as long as you have the 'Fire Card' and the 'Earth Card,' you have the power to turn back into your original form?" Sakura asked.

"Well, but Sakura, I'm not trying to discourage you, but with your current power, even if those two guys, Fire Card and Trump Card, appeared in front of you, you wouldn't be able to subdue them," Kero said, trying to put Sakura down.

"Who said that? I know the bottom lane of the Fire Card, and I can even find it." Sakura started to have designs on Mikami Hiroyu.

"Really Sakura? Where's the Fire Card?" Kero was excited. If he had the Fire Card, he could regain some of his power, instead of watching his former subordinates swagger around in front of him like this. More importantly, if he regained his power, he could help Sakura instead of just providing her with knowledge about the Clow Cards.

"Yu Shen Hao Yu, you know him, right? The Fire Token is on him."

"On him? Why didn't I sense it when I was in contact with him? But that explains why I sensed the Fire Card and the other Clow Cards at school last time. So the Fire Card was already on him then. It seems that the Li family kid's abilities are not to be underestimated." Xiao Ke pondered.

"But, Ke, I didn't feel any magic power on Haoyu at all. Ke, is Haoyu really that strong? Why didn't I feel it?" Xiaoying asked.

"Perhaps it's because your magic power is still low, Sakura, that's why you can't sense it. Even I figured it out from what you said, Sakura. Sakura, what did you think of the fire card you saw today? What kind of feeling did it give you?"

"If we're talking about my feelings towards the Fire Cards, I sensed a very strong magical power in them. But they were very well-behaved in front of Mikami Hiroyu, just like my Clow Cards were to me. They were even kinder to me than my Clow Cards were to me; his Clow Cards were like his good friends to him," Sakura recalled.

"It seems, Sakura, Mikami Hiroyu's magical power is probably higher than I imagined. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make that Fire Card of the Four Elements behave like that. Although I know that Mikami Hiroyu has an aura that makes people want to get closer to the Clow Cards, that alone isn't enough to make the Fire Card submit. This shows that Mikami Hiroyu possesses the power to make the Fire Card submit. For example, Sakura, if you wanted to capture the Fire Card, you would need to increase your magical power by at least 2-3 times, and you would need to use 2 Clow Cards to have any chance of capturing it. Do you understand now, Sakura?" Kero seemed thirsty and took a sip of tea after speaking.

"I didn't expect Yuu Mikami to be so strong. In that case, I should hand over the Clow Cards to him," Sakura exclaimed.
