Chapter 1-
(Dis-claimer-I do not own CCS sadly…)
Sakura stood leaning against the wall of the giant clock tower. The holes behind and in front of her seemed far apart. Sakura was facing Syaoran-kun, who stood 5 steps below her. Sakura was blushing a deep red, her right ankle hurt her a lot, but she leaped from her steps with confidence and landed in Syaoran's arms.
They hugged for a long time, however Syaoran set her down on a step, and looked away blushing.
" We…should probably head down Syaoran-kun, I bet everyone's woken up…" Sakura said smiling.
"Right." Syaoran replied.
Sakura tried standing back up but she fell down to her knees.
"Sakura, are you alright?" Syaoran asked grabbing her elbows.
"Yeah," She tried standing up again, but fell down. "My ankle hurts a bit though."
Syaoran helped her stand up briefly and set her on his back.
"Syaoran-kun…aren't I …too heavy to carry? You have to go down all those steps…" she said weakly.
"You want to save your energy, you're weak. Sealing that card took a lot out of you, just lean on me, and I'll deal with taking you down." He replied sweetly.
No sooner had he finished his sentence, when Keroberos came flying up to him closely followed by Yue.
"Hey brat! What happened!" asked Kero-chan looking at Sakura with worried eyes.
" She sealed the card, just leave her alone she needs rest, and stop calling me brat you stuffed pain in the bu—" Syaoran said, but was cut off by Yue.
"Should I carry her down? You look tired as well…" Yue said calmly.
"…Just be careful...with her…she's weak…" Syaoran said unconvincingly.
"Keroberos come over here," Yue lifted Syaoran up and sat him on Kero-chan's back. " Take the kid down, and don't throw him off, he's got Sakura on his back you know."
" …Pfft.." Kero muttered, but flew off just the same. He exited the clock tower by one of the holes created by the disastrous Hope Card, and flew down to the stage where Sakura's classroom had been performing their play before the card struck.
Sakura and Syaoran were soon mobbed by Meiling-chan and Tomoyo-chan who seemed to be the only ones awake.
"Sakuraaa!!!" yelled Tomoyo. "Sakura, are you alright?"
"Did you seal the card? What happened? Syaoran-kun is she alright?" Meiling questioned.
"She's fine, she's just weak right now. She used all her powers to seal the card." Syaoran said as he climbed off Kero-chan with Sakura still riding on his back, she seemed to be half awake.
" But what happened, I mean—" Tomoyo said desperately.
"…She didn't have to...give up…anything…if that's what…you mean…" said Syaoran looking away his face burning red.
" I see, thank god…she's alright." Tomoyo sighed in relief.
" So, what went on up there eh? Give us the entire story, how come your face is all red Syaoran?" Meiling demanded, with an evil smile. She poked Syaoran in the arm still smiling.
" I…um…we…eh…what do you mean what went on up there…Sakura-chan…I mean…Kinomoto sealed the card…that's all…" stammered Syaoran stepping away from Meiling.
" We…can explain…afterwards…we have to…make sure…everyone is still asleep…I have to…use the sleep card…yawns" yawned Sakura weakly who had heard the conversation, or at least some of it.
"You can start explaining now." Said a voice from behind them.
