Chapter 1: Assumptions


Sakura was sitting in her room doing her homework, and Kero was on her floor playing her latest video game, when a shiver of awareness rolled down her spine.

"Kero..." she said as she turned to him with questioning eyes. "Did you feel that?"

"Argh die die! Come o-! Uh...feel what? Ah no!!! Why does this always happen to me?!" he cried as the score flashed just below his last record break.

Floating dejectedly toward her, Kero plopped down on her desk and sighed. "Okay Sakura, what did you feel this time? Explain it to me and maybe I can figure it out."

Sakura sighed in return, "Well...it felt like raw energy just descended from the sky...out of nowhere. I've never felt anything like this Kero, I mean this force seemed stronger then any of my Clow Reed magic feelings lately. Is there anyone more powerful then Clow Reed Kero?" she asked as her brow furrowed into a pensive frown.

Kero crossed his arms and rubbed his chin. "Well...I never bothered to ask Clow Reed about anything like that...but I bet I know who would know!" he cried triumphantly.

"Sakura? Who're you talking to in there?" a voice said from behind her door.

Kero dropped to the floor and pretended to be the dumb looking stuffed animal like always.

Touya stuck his head into her bedroom and scanned it quickly before trying to open the door more and get a better look.

Sakura jumped from her chair and stepped in front of him. "Nothing Touya! I was just practicing some lines for a skit that Tomoyo wants to film for Drama class. Really!"

Touya raised an eyebrow before mussing up Sakura's hair, "Well try to keep it down, Yukito and I are trying to study for a test tomorrow and we can't be ditracted by squirts like you."

Sakura scowled after her brother as he turned to leave the room. She stuck her tongue out at him and humphed as her door closed behind him.

"Wahh! Kero cried softly. "Yue! He'd know for sure, I mean, he knows a lot of stuff about the Clow Cards and Clow Reed, it's his job to know as the judgement gaurdian!"

Sakura sweat dropped, "Uh Kero you're the gaurdian of the seal, shouldn't you know all of it to?"

Kero laughed awkwardly before clearing his throat and crossing his arms and legs in the air trying to retain some dignity. "No Sakura, I'm just supposed to know all about the cards, that's why I gaurd them."

"Uh huh, sure Kero."

"Well it's true!" Kero yelled back at Sakura, who promptly threw a pillow at him.

"Quiet Kero, you never know when Touya will be back, and if he catches you...who knows what will happen." Sakura threatened lightly.

Kero shivered as thoughts of torture from Touya ensued in his mind. "Okay okay I'll just call Yue then, hold your horses."

Kero concentrated and his wings grew larger until they enveloped him and he became Kerberos. Using his now enhanced mind skills he called out to his partner and waited with Sakura.

A few minutes later there was a tapping noise on Sakura's door and Yue slipped into her room. He glanced at them seriously and folded his arms. "Well what is it now Kerberos?"

Kerberos nudged Sakura and she stumbled towards Yue. "Well I was wondering if you knew of anyone or anything that was more powerful then Clow Reed?"

Yue became thoughtful for a moment before looking at Sakura in the eye. "Yes there is one person stronger then Clow Reed. However, it is highly unlikely that, that person would come anywhere near you Sakura, there is nothing to fear as long as you have the cards and us to protect you."

Sakura frowned. "I'm not so sure Yue, I felt a really big energy reading a little while ago and it was much stronger then any of the magic I've been feeling lately. It also has a much different energy pattern then anything that has to do with Clow Reed's magic. It seemed colder, yet brighter then anything I've ever felt before. I mean brighter too, even brighter then the Light Card."

Yue shook his head. "Nonsense Sakura, you must be tired, to much studying. Go back to bed, the person who holds power greater then Clow Reeds isn't even of Earth. There is no reason to worry."

Sakura shrugged as she yawned. "Okay Yue, I guess you know best, though I still think something weirder then usual is about to occur. Call it woman's intuition."

"What woman? There's a woman here?" Kerberos snickered. A pillow promptly found it's way to smacking him in the nose. "Ouch, Sakura!"

Sakura glared at him from her bed as she climbed beneath the covers and yawned again. "Good night Yue, thanks for your help. Good night Kerberos, remember to change back to Kero soon..." she mumured as sleep claimed her.

Yue turned off Sakura's light as he went back down the hall to the bathroom and reverted back into Yukito and returning to Touya's room.

Kerberos changed quickly back into Kero before snuggling up into his miniature bedroom, actually one of Sakura's desk drawers.

Cool emerald eyes sparkled at Sakura from outside her house. A moment later two shadows could be seen flying away from the house and back into the night.
