Scene of cherry blossom petals and Tokyo Tower. Sakura stands there in a pink outfit looking at a mysterious woman standing on the tower. Then Sakura wakes up. She wonders who was that person she saw. It's early but she gets up for school. Kero is still sleeping. Sakura leaves fro school. While rollerblading there, she thinks about her dream. She finds herself back at the shrine. Kaho hears her talking out loud about her. Then they talk and Sakura winds up helping her clean the shrine grounds. Yuki just happens to come by and he helps too. All the while Sakura has flashbacks to what happened yesterday. When they are done Kaho gives them each a present of chestnuts. They go to school. As they are leaving kaho starts to tell sakura something but changes her mind. Then she's at school so sakura tells what she did and shares her chestnuts. Li and Mei-mei but in and it turns out Mei-mei is good at opening the chestnuts. Then Li sense Kaho coming. Next scene is night at Sakura's house. Sakura's eating cake with her dad and they are talking about Kaho and Toya. Then a quick scene shift of Kaho standing outside staring at the full moon. Then we see a whirlpool swish of darkness around the large cherry tree at the shrine. It goes into the tree. Meanwhile Kero and Sakura are out looking for a Clow Card. Then Li shows up. they stand there talking. Kero laughs when he finds out Mei-mei is home studying. Sakura yells at him for laughing! The three go into the shrine and look for the card. Then they are sitting under the cherry tree. Li's lasin board says the card is nearby. Kero says he's thirsty so sakura gives him her purse and sends him off for drinks, including one for Li. Funny scene of Kero agreeing and then saying how generous he is to do it! Then we see Sakura and Li up in the tree. They talk and he admits to a crush on Yuki too. Li gets embarrassed so he gets down form the tree. Sakura is one step behind him, but gets sucked up into the tree because of it! (The card hidden in the tree can only work it's magic on one person at a time). Li and Kero try to save her but can't. Kero says it's the return card and explains why sakura is missing. Meanwhile sakura wakes up under the tree to find everyone gone. Then she remembers what happened and notices the tree is blooming! She hears a noise and at first thinks it's Li. But it's really Toya! Then we see along with Sakura how Toya and Kaho met and just a little bit about their relationship. The scene shifts back to Kero and Li befoer it shifts back to Toya and Kaho. There's a festival at the shrine and this is where she tells him she has to leave. She also tells him that they will have other people to love when they meet again! When Kaho mentions something about a disaster befalling thew world, Sakura is sent back. Li helps her and She seals the card, which goes to Li because he helped. Li faints because he used the Time card which uses a lot of his power, and also I think because Sakura hugged him to tightly! Then Kero looks at the moon and says "Yue". Then a quick look at Kaho. Leave it to Kero is about Toya's and Yuki's bikes.
