Chapter 4
Christmas Angel
Sakura was so relieved that Touya had gotten Syaoran to go away. Sakura couldn't hear what he was saying, but she could tell he hadn't even realized where he was going. And boy, was that a relief! Sakura sighed heavily. Kero flew into the room just then.
"What's with the heavy sigh?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing." Sakura said.
"Where have you been the past few days?"
"I was out taking care of some business for Eriol." Kero said proudly.
"Really? How's he doing?" asked Sakura.
"Oh, he's fine. In fact…" Kero smiled teasingly.
"What Kero, what?" she pressed.
"He's coming back for a while."
"WHAT?!" Sakura was shocked. The she smiled. "I can't believe it, this is so cool!"
"And he's coming to Tomoyo's party." Said Kero.
"Wait a minute. Did you tell Tomoyo before you told me?" Sakura accused.
"Well, I passed her house on the way and I caught her before she went shopping, so…" Kero trailed off.
"Well, fine." Sakura said indignantly. "I suppose that's a reasonable excuse"
BOOM!
"Huh? What was that?" asked Sakura. "It felt like an explosion."
"I'm sensing some powerful magic." Kero said.
"Yeah, I feel it too." Sakura said.
The two dashed down the stairs and out the front door. Sakura closed her eyes and concentrated. "It's coming from the school!" she exclaimed.
"Key of the star, with powers burning bright. Release the staff and shine your might! RELEASE!" Sakura chanted. The star staff appeared and Sakura summoned a card.
"Fly card, release and dispel! FLY!"
Wings appeared on her back and she took off into the air, Kero following close behind.
"Sakura, shouldn't we tell Yue?" Kero asked.
"No, we don't have time. The magic is already beginning to fade and we'll miss whoever it is." Sakura said, increasing her speed.
"Okay." Kero said, scowling at the energy he was sensing.
"There! Do you see it?" Sakura asked as they arrived at the school. Below them, was a figure wrapped in black light.
"Yeah, I see it all right." Growled Kero.
"Whoever it is has tremendous power." Said Sakura.
"Let's go down there and meet our mysterious foe." The guardian suggested.
"Wait, Sakura."
"Huh?" Sakura turned to her left and saw Syaoran and Meilin standing on the roof of a house next to Sakura.
"Did you sense the power too?" She asked the two.
"Yeah, we did." Syaoran said.
"We can handle it from here Sakura. Now that I'm back from Hong Kong, Syaoran doesn't need your help anymore." Meilin said haughtily.
"Let's just go down there and see who's emitting that incredible power." Sakura said.
Sakura flew down and Syaoran and Meilin jumped. The black light faded as the four approached the figure. It was a girl older than they were, but younger than Touya. She was wearing a dress that was all black except for the part that covered her torso, which was the same color as her hair, blue. It was her eyes that surprised Sakura the most. They were a familiar cold gray. The girl turned to face them and smiled cruelly. And then she spoke.
"I've been waiting for you to come." She said in a cold, hard, emotionless voice.
Meilin stepped forward and smiled. "Of course now that we're here, me and Syaoran are going to destroy you."
The girl focused on Meilin and smiled another cruel smile. Then she approached the group. Syaoran stepped in front of Meilin and scowled at the girl. But she didn't go to Meilin or Syaoran. She approached Sakura.
"It's been a long time, Sakura." She said.
"Do I… know you?" she asked the girl uncertainly.
The girl scoffed and smirked at Sakura. "Don't tell me you don't remember me."
"Look, all I know is that you're emitting powerful magical energy." Sakura said.
The girl smiled and merely replied. "You will remember in time."
Syaoran, Meilin, and Kero just stared at Sakura and the girl. They looked shocked and confused.
"I have things to do. We'll have to finish this conversation another time." The girl said and disappeared.
"What a weird person." Sakura said staring at the spot that she had disappeared. "I wonder why she says I know her?"
"Maybe you do." Kero said.
"Or maybe you're just stupid." Said Meilin, smirking.
"Meilin!" Syaoran scolded.
Meilin scoffed and folded her arms across her chest. Syaoran looked angry, Kero looked like he was trying to remember something pushed to the back of his mind, and Meilin, of course, looked like she always did.
Sakura bit her lip. She did seem familiar, but Sakura didn't recognize her from anywhere. Sighing a frustrated sigh, Sakura leaned against the school wall.
They weren't getting anywhere fast.
"I say we go home and get some rest. I'm sure we'll know if she comes back. And does it really matter that we don't know her name?" asked Kero.
"It's not just her name, it's who she is. We don't have the slightest idea if she's even evil!" said Sakura in exasperation.
"Yeah." Mumbled Syaoran, looking thoughtful.
"Well, if you would have just left it to us, then she would be dead by now." Meilin said.
"So, I see that it's good that it's good that Sakura didn't leave it to you." Kero said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Meilin demanded angrily.
"If you had destroyed her, which I doubt you have the ability to do, than for all you know, you could have been destroying a person who's here to help us." Kero pointed out.
"Who asked you, anyway? I was talking to Sakura." Said Meilin.
Sakura placed a hand to her head as a sweat drop formed. She sighed again. Was this person here to help? It didn't seem like it. No. Sakura decided. I could tell. She had a cold aura surrounding her, and only someone with cruel intentions would have that. Sakura thought. And those eyes. I'm positive I've seen those eyes somewhere before, but from where?
"Sakura?"
"Huh?" Sakura looked up. Syaoran, Meilin, and Kero were all staring at her. Syaoran and Kero looked concerned but Meilin looked annoyed.
"Oh… um… nothing's wrong, I was just thinking."
"About what?" Kero asked.
"Just… stuff." Sakura looked away. "Well, we better get going. Bye guys."
She took out the fly card and summoned it. "Fly card, release and dispel. FLY!"
Sakura flew off into the air and Kero followed her. Sakura could feel their stares boring into her, one concerned and the other angry. Kero flew up beside her.
"So what were you thinking about?" asked Kero again.
"Nothing, really." Sakura said. "It's not important."
Sakura flew away from Kero, unsure about what he would say about her reasoning about the mysterious girl and her familiarity with the girl's eyes. It was best left alone. She thought. Yes, best left alone.
