Hey guys here's chapter 14, I hope you like it. Please don't jump to conclusions at the end of the chapter and please read the author's note :3

I don't own Tsubasa Chronicles or Cardcaptor Sakura

The fluorescent light hit down on Sakura's sleeping face. The room was quiet, and she was alone, sleeping under the covers of the bed. Her eyes fluttered open slowly, and Sakura moved her eyes around the room. And then as if a wire clicked in her head Sakura shot up and grabbed her side.

She let out a breath and relaxed, it doesn't hurt as much as before… Sakura thought. She lifted her hand to her forehead and felt something stuck on it. She pulled off the healing patch and smiled. Then she slowly lifted her legs from out under the covers and sat looking around the room.

"How are you feeling Sakura?" Kero said coming out of hiding from under the sheets.

"Oh, hi Kero-chan," Sakura said turning her head slightly. "Um, I've felt better," she said with a small laugh.

"Has your price taken affect?" Kero asked, flying onto Sakura's shoulder.

"Well, it did earlier, but it's not as bad now," Sakura said looking up.

"What did you see?" Kero asked, referring to when Sakura had fallen into the "lake," that magically disappeared. Sakura looked down and tried to recall what she had seen in those strange scenes.

"Well, there was this room with what looked as seals around it…and there was a boy with one eye in this glass tube who looked-"Sakura started to say, but stopped herself, and shook her head. That's not possible, I won't mention it, Sakura thought.

Kero looked at her and sighed. "What else?" Kero asked.

"Uh," Sakura hummed, placing a finger on her lip, "There was also this deserted city, where this painful rain was falling."

"Acid rain," Kero interrupted.

"Acid rain?" Sakura said confused. "Kero-chan, why am I seeing this?"

"Hmm, well, it may be that you're seeing the future, like in your dreams," Kero said.

"Is that what the dimensional witch meant when she said I'd use my magic?" Sakura asked.

Kero looked away, "I hope so."

Sakura looked down. She closed her eyes and tried to put two and two together. What was her magic trying to tell her? She took a breath and summoned her cards around her. She gripped her stomach to ease the pain. She looked at her beloved cards and tried to reason things out. Her focus was disrupted by Kero's voice.

"Sakura?" Kero called. Sakura looked up and put her cards away.

"Yes?" Sakura replied.

"Did you see anything else?" Kero asked with a bit of a mischievous smile. Sakura's face turned beat red, as she looked down.

"I-I saw S-shaoran," Sakura said smiling, as she rubbed her knees together.

"Oh, so what was the brat doing?" Kero asked flying onto Sakura's lap. Sakura froze and recalled what she had seen.

"H-he was looking at something, and then said, 'Sorry Sakura,'" Sakura said, reciting what she had heard.

"Why are you talking to yourself Shorty?" Someone said from behind her.

"Ah, Jin-chan!" Sakura exclaimed, quickly grabbing Kero and hiding him behind her back. "Why are you here?" She said with and awkward laugh.

"I live here…" Jin said with a raised eyebrow. He walked over to the side of the bed and picked up one of Sakura's cards. "What's this?"

"Uh, uh, um, it's a trading card," Sakura said panicky. "It- it's my brothers, yea, my brothers," Sakura said frantically. Jin looked at her suspiciously, and then sighed as he tossed her the card.

"Weirdo," Jin said, as he took Sakura's hand. "Your friends and I… I mean Tokino were really worried about you," he said looking away as he pulled Sakura to the main room where everyone waited.

"Good morning little princess," Fai said with his usual chipper expression.

"Good mor-" Sakura began to say before she flinched in pain and tried to nonchalantly hold her side.

"What's wrong?" Kurogane asked walking towards her.

"Uh, well…" Sakura said trying to think of an excuse. "When I went into the town I tripped and fell down onto this box of stuff, and hurt myself, yea that's what happened," Sakura said rapidly.

Everyone looked at her for a second. Syaoran, Fai and Kurogane exchanged glances with one another.

Sakura-san isn't telling the truth, Syaoran thought.

She's not very good at lying on the spot, Fai thought.

You'd have to be a total moron to believe that, both Kurogane and Jin thought.

"Oh that makes sense," Tokino said, hitting his head with his palm. Everyone sweat drop.

"Moron," Jin said bluntly.

"Hey, you want to know something?" Tokino said pushing Jin and then the two went off into full swung war. Sakura laughed slightly, and turned to the Tsubasa gang.

"Are you guys ready to go to the dome tomorrow?" Sakura asked excitedly. The whole room went quiet and everyone diverted their eyes to the floor. "What is it?" Sakura asked innocently.

Everyone fidgeted slightly and then all their eyes turned towards Syaoran. Sakura knew what was coming next.

"S-sakura-san," Syaoran started off.

"Yes," Sakura said playing along.

"We all agreed that it would be in your best interest not to come to the dome," Syaoran said slowly.

Sakura looked down, "My best interest or yours," she said softly and then she looked up. "Am I getting in your way?" Sakura asked worryingly.

"Umm, well no, but…" Syaoran said.

"I don't understand why I shouldn't come then," Sakura replied. Everyone stared dumbfounded. How dense could she be?

Finally Jin cut in, frustrated. "Don't you get it?" He asked Sakura. "They're just worried about your safety. They're not doubting your skills or whatever, they just want to make sure your safe."

Sakura could come back with anything, but her price was to help with their journey so she needed to come. Even in the midst of this problem she was happy that the Tsubasa gang cared about her safety.

"Sakura-san, do you understand now?" Syaoran asked. Sakura nodded. Before anyone could sigh in relief Kurogane interrupted.

"But you're still coming aren't you?" He asked.

Sakura smiled, "Yep."

Kurogane smiled slightly and then sighed. "We all just want to get you home in one piece."

Sakura looked around the room of faces she has come to be so familiar with in such a short time. Then she thought of her friends and family back home. She wouldn't break now, not yet. She still needed to ask her Shaoran what he meant in her vision.

"Don't worry. There's someone special back home who I need to see, so I'm definitely going home, definitely," She said with a smile. The room stayed quiet. Finally Jin broke the silence.

"You're such a strange kid," he said slinging an arm over his head, "Do whatever you want I'm going to my room."

Even if Jin said he didn't care, he did, a lot. Also, the sudden mention of this special someone made him feel uncomfortable.

"Hey Jin," Tokino whined, "Can I stay over?"

"Why? Don't you have a house?" Jin asked annoyed.

"But I'm bored at home, pleaseeeeeeee," Tokino whined.

Jin sighed and rubbed the side of his head, "Whatever."

"Cool, I'll take your room then," he said and sprinted off.

"Wait a second," Jin said and then went after him.

Sakura laughed, and went to sit on the couch. She sat down and let out a breath. The princess and came and sat next to her.

"You're looking better Sakura-chan," The Princess said.

"I feel better," Sakura said with a smile.

"So you're coming then?" Syaoran said with a worried

"Mhm," Sakura said nodding, "I'll be okay though."

"Because there's someone back home waiting for you," the princess filled in. Both Sakura's giggled.

"Who is this someone?" Fai asked intrigued.

Sakura blushed and began to play with her fingers. "Umm…well, his name is Sharoan," Sakura said and then looked up at the older Syaoran whose eyes widened. "He looks just like you, Syaoran-kun."

Syaoran's went from Sakura then to the Princess. When the two made eye contact, the Princess's face turned red and she looked down.

"I-I think I'm going to my room," The Princess said shooting up to her feet and looking towards the ground.

"O-okay," Syaoran said looking away. Sakura smiled at the sight of his slightly red cheeks.

"I'll come with you. See you guys later," Sakura said walking alongside the Princess.

"Okay," The three males replied. Once it was silent once again Syaoran spoke.

"It seems I couldn't convince her to not come," Syaoran said in a sad voice.

"Well, Syaoran, she's a stubborn one," Fai said shrugging as he said cross-legged on the couch.

"But Fai…tomorrow," Syaoran said nervously.

Fai's eyes dropped slightly, "I don't want to see Sakura-chan go through any more pain either, but I think this is her fate," Fai said.

"Don't worry kid," Kurogane said. "Nothing will happen to her… we won't let it happen."

Syaoran nodded, "I don't want to involve her anymore."

"I know you don't Syaoran," Fai said, "But there's no point worrying about it, why don't you go rest?" Syaoran nodded and went to his room.

"Kuro-tan, you should go rest too," Fai stated with a smile. Kurogane narrowed his eyes.

"What are you up to?" he asked coldly.

Fai smiled. "I just needed to ask Jin-kun something, what's so suspicious about that?" Fai asked teasingly. Kurogane stared at him for a second and then sighed.

"Tch," he said. "Do whatever you want, but you should know by now that I'm not dumb enough to realize when you're planning something."

"Now Kuro-sama, that hurts. Why do you think everything I do has an ulterior motive?" Fai asked in a playful tone. Kurogane opened his mouth like he was going to explode, but then decided to stop. He stretched his arms, and opened his eyes.

"Fine do whatever," Kurogane began to say as he walked away, but then he stopped right next to Fai, "But if you do anything to mess with the girl, then you should expect me to come at you with full force." Kurogane said coldly and then walked away. Once Fai was alone, he slumped back onto the couch, and placed his hand on his head.

"Oh Kuro-tan, why is it that you see what I don't want you too…"

Jin laid on his back on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He rubbed his ash gray eyes and yawned. Having the shorty and her companions around really tired him out. Not to mention the extremely noisy Tokino.

A sweat drop formed on the side of Jin's head, how did that idiot convince me into letting him stay here…?

Just as Jin was in the in the midst of his thoughts someone knocked on his door. Jin raised an eyebrow, and then sighed, it was probably Tokino who needed something stupid.

"Come in," Jin said as he sat up. When the door opened, Jin was surprised to see Fai at leaning against the door frame. Jin narrowed his eyes. He hadn't completely figured out this guy, so he kept his guard up.

"Jin-kun, do you have a moment?" Fai asked with his usual grin. Jin let out a breath and nodded.

"Yea, whadya' need?" he asked, as he sat up and rubbed his head.

"Hmm~ nothing much," Fai hummed, "It was just… I was just wondering why you would allow complete strangers to come home with you to this huge house, where you live alone."

By the end a sweat drop formed on Jin's head. 'Nothing much,' he says…Jin thought.

"Well," Jin said letting out a breath, "That shorty and you guys needed somewhere to stay…what was I supposed to do?" Jin replied.

Fai put on a mischievous smile, "Would the circumstances be different if it was anyone other than Sakura-chan?" Fai asked. Jin raised an eyebrow.

"What are you getting at?" Jin asked.

"Well, I know I've only just met you, but from the first time we came in contact, and up to now…you've seemed to change," Fai stated with a closed eyed smile. Jin looked at him slightly confused.

"I guess…" Jin stated looking down at his hands. He had to admit. Since he's met Sakura, he's felt different.

Fai smiled and leaned on his hand, "What do you think of Sakura-chan?"

There was a pause, and then Jin spoke, "A girl who's extremely short and tires people out quickly," Jin stated bluntly.

Fai chuckled slightly, he's so shy…

"What else…?" Fai asked.

Jin looked at him strangely. What's with this guy…does he like to pry?

Jin let out a breath, "Well, despite her small stature she has a big heart. She makes those around her happier, and I just have the urge to protect her," Jin said, surprised at what he found himself saying.

"Jin-kun…it seems you have locked up your heart for so long," Fai said still smiling, however the look in his eyes changed slightly.

Jin's eyes widened slightly, and then he looked down, "I have my reasons. I swore I wouldn't give my trust to anyone, and that I would stop caring about people. I only end up hurting that person and myself," Jin said, as he clenched and unclenched his hand.

"You say that… yet you seem to care a lot about Sakura-chan," Fai stated with a sincere smile. Jin let that soak in for a second and then his eyes widened in realization.

"I can't believe it…that Shorty is such a klutz that I want to protect her…she actual made me smile after such a long time…and I care about her as though she was part of my ideal family …" Jin stated, as he was finally confessing these things to himself out loud.

"Do you understand now Jin-kun?" Fai asked with a grin.

Jin turned to him surprised, "I never thought I would hold someone in my heart like this after what I went through…" Jin stated to himself.

"Jin-kun…how do you feel about Sakura-chan?" Fai asked, expecting a different answer this time.

Jin looked down at his hands and then looked out his window to the dark ceiling of the dome.

"I love her, don't I…"

*Authors note: Don't worry, the love Jin is talking about is DIFFERENT from the love between Sakura and Shaoran…it's more of a family-ish kind of love XD*
