The moment I woke up, my hands frantically searched for Kero, my best friend/pet. He was on my lap looking up at me. 'We found him,' I told Kero telepathically. 'Is this really him?'

'Yeah, don't worry Sakura. I know he'll help us!' Kero said energetically within my head. This was the only way for me and Kero to communicate in the "real world." Kero was a creature of Tsubasa. He couldn't exactly come over to this world, but his spirit can, and so, he resides in this stuffed animal that kind of looks like him.

It's quite easy for me to enter their world though. Sometimes, Kero brings me there, or I can just fall asleep. Each time going to Tsubasa is a great risk since it's currently corrupted. I could easily be taken to the awful place, the place where Syaoran was headed, and never wake up again. I had to save him at that moment.

A soft moan woke me from my thoughts. I sat up properly in the chair I had moved to from the bed and held Kero tightly to my chest. 'Sakura…' I heard Kero rasp. I always squeezed him too hard at times, when I got anxious, worried, frightened etc. I tried not to.

'Sorry,' I said softly.

Syaoran's body twitched and then one of his eyes opened. I smiled happily. "You're awake!" I exclaimed, and quickly fell subdued I barely knew this person yet it seemed like I knew him since forever. "You are feeling okay?"

He immediately sat up and shook his head slowly. "I'm fine," He said unsurely. "Where am I?"

"The nurse's office, I think,"

"Why?"

'You passed out,"

"You?"

"I passed out too,"

"What?"

"I passed out too," I repeated my self.

"No, I mean," He seemed deep in thought. "Why did you pass out too? And, why were you in my dream? Something about some winged place. Dreams and darkness? Was that all real?"

I nodded.

"It was real then," He eyed Kero suspiciously. "Will you care to explain to me then?"

"I promised I would, didn't I?" I laughed. "I'll let Kero talk for most of it, I'm not sure I can talk freely here,"

"Kero?" He asked. I held up my stuffed animal "This is Kero, His full name is Keroberos, but I call him Kero You saw him earlier right? He's the guardian of the Clow cards, of that land," I whispered.

Syaoran seemed to understand to an extent the dangers of talking about this freely.

The moment Kero began to speak, Syaoran jumped out of the bed he was sitting on and fell over onto the ground in surprise.

"Li-kun!" I exclaimed.

"That plush toy can talk?"

'Of course I can talk kid! Did you really mistake me for being a "Plush Toy" as you say?' Kero snapped.

'Kero, be nice,' I said.

'He was being rude,' Kero retorted.

"You talked without moving your mouth!" Syaoran said in amazement as I helped him up from the ground. His eyes were as wide as watermelon's. "How do you do that?

'I knew you would be able to hear us!' I smiled. 'We're talking to each other mentally. You can try if you'd like,' I replied.

"No thank you," Syaoran responded curtly.

I bowed my head slightly. "Sorry," I said. I didn't want Li-kun to hate me. "You don't have to unless you want to,"

Kero butt in my apology, 'Basically,' Kero began, 'Tsubasa is the world where everything begins and ends. It's the land that effects other places. Let's jut say Tsubasa is the heart of everything in the world, globe, universe, galaxy, what ever you humans here wanna call it,'

'So anything bad that's happening there will eventually start happening here,' Syaoran stated mentally. I smiled inwardly. Kero nodded. 'So when bad things happen there, we have to go stop it before there is any more damage?'

'Yes,' I said. 'I'll explain the awful place,' I shuddered and tried to calm myself. It had been so scary there, so horrid. 'It's the place where would've gone deeper into if you hadn't followed me. It's a vast world of darkness, where anything could be there. Anything that could kill you, deadly monsters, you never wake up again. Anything that could kill you, deadly monsters, you never wake up again. No one can save you and you never come back out,' I could see everything so vividly again now that I explained it. I had been lucky. Kero was there to save me. That's the first day the two of us met.

'How do you know so much of this awful place?' Syaoran asked.

After a 3 second pause, I responded. 'I've been there before,' Syaoran's face was full of worry. I quickly changed my expression back into a weak smile. 'It's fine though, Kero saved me," I said to him.

Kero noticed my discomfort and continued to get off the subject. 'There's a prophecy that the one who is chosen sill be taken into the darkness realm and that she would be saved by me,' I could see the triumph smirk on his face even though stuffed animals can't change expression. 'It also says that Clow Reed's descendents, will be drawn in too, and then the chosen would have to save them, and you kid, are the descendent of Clow Reed aren't you?'

How had I saved Syaoran? It was beyond my own understanding. I had followed him there. Just before he had passed out. I looked into his eyes. They had been blank and dark. Somehow though, I had been able to enter them and save Syaoran. How though?

"Thank you," Syaoran said.

"Eh?" I asked. I had been too consumed in my own thoughts to hear anything that had been talking about. Kero must have sensed I had other things I was thinking about and took the chance to blabber away.

"Thank you for saving me,"

"oh...," I said and ducked my head down in embarrassment. I didn't do anything," I said softly.

"Thank you,"
