With a yawn and a stretch, Sakura sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. "Good morning, Kero!" She said cheerfully. She had woken up with the alarm clock this morning, which was something completely out of character for Sakura. So of course Kero eyed her curiously as he sat on the window sill.
"Are you feeling okay, Sakura? You actually woke up to the alarm today." He soundsed extremely worried but the look on Sakura's face was one of surprise.
"Come on, Kero. What? I can't have a good start to the morning?" She smiled and hopped out of bed, heading to get her school uniform ready. "Oh, yeah. I never had the chance to tell you about the dream I had yesterday night…" So she went into explaining about the cards, and Eriol, and what she and Eriol had felt yesterday. Kero closed his eyes and focused before they flickered open.
"Oh yes, I feel it too! How could I have not noticed this before? Man, I must be losing my touch." Kero frowned and crossed his little plush arms before floating into the air. "I wonder…"
"Wonder what?" She asked as she fixed her hair up and moved to grab her bag.
"Oh, nothing, was just thinking out loud. Have a good day Sakura!" Her said, looking at the clock and grinning. She followed his gaze and gasped.
"Oh man! I even got up early!" She said with a huff as she ran out the door and down the stairs.
Kero laughed as he watched her haul butt out of there, grateful that there was school today because he had some research to do now. He lifted that pink phone and dialed before it started to ring. "Hello?" A voice said on the other end.
"Yo! It's Kero. Think it could be Michael?" He asked in a slightly demanding and worried tone. If it were Michael, they were all in deep trouble.
"Yes, we do believe it is. Spinel caught his scent in a small shop in town yesterday. I've been searching for him, as well as Eriol. No luck so far. He's cloaking his magic quite well."
"Oh boy, we have some maaajor issues then. Sakura needs to be guarded, well, at all times." Kero stated.
"Yes, I know. Eriol is going to school with her. Plus, she has Shaoran as well. She sould be safe. I've called upon the Li clan. Shaoran's mother and sisters are flying in with Mei-Lin as we speak."
"Why is the brat coming?" Kero questioned.
"Because she wanted to, I suppose…" Ms. Mizuki replied. They said their good-bye's then and hung up. Kero was frowning and meditating, sort of. The kid's family was coming, so Kero knew that something bad was about to go down. His tail twitched and he decided. Out the window he went, flying out to the school. He wasn't going to leave her alone with anyone, he worried about her way too much to do that.
The day had gone by so slow and Sakura was close to dozing off in class. That was until she felt it, a strong surge of dark power coming from somewhere close by. She had felt the air around her tense, which meant that Shaoran had felt it too. She took in a deep breath and looked around. She spotted Kero flying erratically toward the school and her eyes widened. Something bad is about to happen…
"Yes, Sakura. Things are about to get a bit rough for us…" Eriol was somehow right next to her, and everyone in the classroom was passed out.
"What'd you do Eriol? Did you put them to sleep?" She asked, rising from her seat and moving to open the class window for Kero.
"Yes, I did. Something is about to happen… I'm not sure what though." You could tell it had him worried. Shaoran was at Sakura's side then.
"Well, whatever it is. We can take it!" He nodded to himself, hoping it was true.
"I'm not so sure, Li. I'm not so sure…" Eriol said before he trailed off and suddenly the floor began to shake. "He's here!"
"Oh man! I made it just in time!" Kero said as he flew in the window to find everyone gripping to something. The floor and walls were creaking as the school shook on like an earthquake was striking. A strong gust of wind blew through the room, knocking Sakura and Shaoran to the window.
"Hang tight, Sakura!" Shaoran yelled as the wind came through again. Sakura found herself blown out of the window and as she clung tight to the window sill, Shaoran struggled to pull her back in. Another gust and he was pushed over and nearly out of the window which caused Sakura to lose her grip and down she went. Three stories to the ground, but suddenly the ground opened up and the large black hole swallowed Sakura up.
"This is it. He's separating us… " Eriol mumbled.
"SAKURA!" Shaoran screamed out.
