Plot Overview

It is morning. Sakura is asleep, and Asagi has changed her clothes. After everyone leaves, Sakura wakes up again, noticing she is now wearing oversized pajamas. She stands on the balcony and looks at the city. Then Sakura walks to the dresser, proceeding to try on every outfit she finds in there. Putting on a plain dress, she goes outside. Arashi enters the room to find her gone.

Kurogane orders some food while Fai and Syaoran talk about Sakura's true nature. Arashi runs up to tell them that Sakura is gone. Syaoran runs off to look for her, while Arashi returns to the boarding house.

Sakura is sitting on a bench when she is approached by the leader of the punk gang and his sidekick. He hopes to use her as leverage against Syaoran and Kurogane. Somehow, they all end up eating at the okonomiyaki place. When Touya asks Sakura her name, she responds after a brief delay. The gang members now know she can speak their language, so her strange behavior puzzles them. Yukito asks them if they're planning to do something bad to her.

Fai, Kurogane, and Syaoran meet up again, but none of them has found Sakura. However, Masayoshi runs up to tell them he saw her with the two gang members. Mokona goes scary for a brief second, falling back asleep.

The punks have taken Sakura back to their base, but when they open the door, the base is empty. There is a note, though, telling the boss that everyone quit because they're sick of seeing him lose. The boss starts to cry, and Sakura comforts him with her warm smile.

Masayoshi uses his Kudan to locate Sakura.

That evening, the gang leader talks to his sidekick, and admits that he is rethinking his life. He meets with Shogo to turn over his gang's territory. They spot Sakura high up on some construction equipment, so Shogo flies up on his Kudan to get her. He takes her for a ride and they talk in the moonlight. Just then, Sakura senses her feather, and dives off the walkway. She seems to fly through the air for a bit, then floats to the ground, where Syaoran catches her.

Shogo comes down and tells Syaoran she mentioned something about a feather, and that their rematch can wait until next time. Syaoran and the others head back to the boarding house. Fai tells Syaoran that Sakura's true nature seems to be that she can make others do good.
