Touya decided that his sister needed a break from school. She looked so tired and weak that he did not have the heart to wake her. Her brown hair framed her face and on her desk, he fould a book that said 'Sakura'. As strange as it was, he left it and headed for school, leaving a small note for Sakura when she woke up. He didn't want her to be worried. He supposed that Cereberus would be around in her room somewhere. When Sakura woke up, she found that the time was 12:45pm. Still tired from the night before, her eyes fell on the silver and pink book on her desk. She remembered hearing something about Clow Reeds when she came back to look at her book, but she couldn't remember now that she was so tired. next to the book was a note addressed to her. She wandered to it and found it to be a note explaining that she should stay home since she looked so sick and that Touya himself would be back at about 1pm when he finished all of his classes.
Kero woke up to find his Mistress awake, but somewhat distressed. "Kero-chan, why do I feel so weak?" She asked, holding her head in her hands. At that moment, she looked so delicate, too delicate. He wanted to cover her from everything that was to come her way as a cardcaptor. "Because you used a lot of magic last night changing that staff and also to use windy to bring down Yue. The wind is asociated with the Moon and Yue has a lot of control over it, yet you used your powers to overide his command and take yours. I was so worried when you used the Windy card, but there was something different in you. You had changed. I could clearly sense your growing powers." He commented and she gave him a small smile. Getting out of bed, she dressed herself in a simple long light pink dress and to answer the door bell. When she opened it, she found Yukito standing there with her brother. "Are you ok?" Her brother asked and she nodded and flinched as her headache increased. "I'm fine. Hello Yukito-Kun." She gave him a smile and when he smiled back with, "Hello Sakura-chan. You look so pretty today." She blushed. Touya had obviously been worried about his sister but he didn't show it much. Yukito could tell though.
Yue watched from inside of Yukito's mind as the Card Mistress stood in front of him and blushed at a comment his fake form had made. She looked so adorable like that. But searching the mind of his flase form, he saw that he did not like Sakura like she liked Yukito. Yue knew that one day, Yukito will hurt the girl's feelings. But was there anything he could do? He was powerless in the form he was in. He could change but that would cost a lot of the young girl's powers and she was weak enough as she was. But than, so was he. Never in his life did he feel so weak. Clow had created the two guardians when he was about 350 years old. Magic had a way of extending people's lives. The powerfuller, the longer the life span was of the Magician. Clow Reeds was the most powerful Magician in the world while he had lived. At the age of 350, he only looked about 35. Time had frozen on the man's features. He had died 50 years after creating Yue and his brother. He had took the matter into his hands to make sure everything will be the best they can be for Sakura, his child in the next generation. She was his only child and someone that he loved other than his parents and his creations. Looking at the child yet to be born, he had created the staff, Yue, Cereberus and Yukito. He also made sure his reincarnation would be likable to Sakura.
Yukito and Touya was having a great long conversation on their lectures while Sakura half listened and half fell asleep. She was just so tired! Never did she feel so tired after the usage of magic, but than she had never created a new staff or anything else. She had never felt that power that ran in her blood before. It was weak now but she knew that it would grow with time and experience. Tiredly, she said her excuses to the two men in her house and went up to her room to find some more rest. She heard Touya going to work and assumed that Yukito had gone as well. Suddenly, she felt a pull at her new found power and more weakness. There was a shadow above her and not wanting to, she opened her eyes.
When her eyes fluttered open, Yue found himself drowning in the emerald eyes. She looked surprised, but too tired to react. Sitting up, she found Yue and Cereberus in front of her. Seeing them in their real forms made her panic a little. "It's ok Sakura. It's only me and Yue." Cereberus insured her but the uneasiness did not go away. "I know this is very tiring for you Mistress." "Sakura" she corrected him. "Beg your pardon?" Yue's cold face did not show any expression what so ever but his silver eyes showed confusion. "I meant what I said at the Final Judgement. I told you that I want to be your friend, not your Master or Mistress. A friend is someone you should become comfortable around and be able to call each other by their names. I call you Yue-san, so you should call me Sakura as well." Yue nodded and received a smile in return. "Because you are our new Mistress, Cereberus and I will be drawing our powers from you. It takes a lot of magic to support us to in our true forms and I just wanted to warn you." Sakura had to look up to Yue since he was so tall.
Smiling, she was always smiling. "Thank you for the warning Yue-san. It explains a lot." He said his farewells to the new Mistress until he was needed again and went downstairs. It would make Yukito easier to understand. "Bye Yue-san." She had a face of longing as she said that and he wandered why. Soon enough, he found himself as Yukito, standing in the middle of the lounge room and headed upstairs to check on Sakura like he had promised Touya. "Sakura-chan? May I come in?" He called as he knocked. Not getting an answer, he opened the door a little and found the girl sleeping. She seemed so tired. But Yue knew better. He should have guessed the girl, no, teenager would have trouble supporting him with her weak powers.
Yukito stayed downstairs watching the TV and checking on Sakura now and than. She was like a little sister to him. Without having any close relatives other than his grandparents who he didn't even see often, he thought of Sakura as family. he had known her for 6 years now, since she was 10. From the very first day, she had a crush on him. He didn't want to hurt her so he was nice to her, just nice. It was 5pm when Touya came back. "How's that monster?" He asked Yukito as soon as he entered the house. "She's still asleep. You go a great deal to appear as if you don't love her, but you love her so much and care for her." Yukito smiled. So much difference from Yue. The very opposite of Yue was Yukito. Touya longed to tell Yukito that he knew that he was not a human being. But he knew that Yukito was yet to learn about the existance of Yue. The two started to study when Sakura came down and started to cook them something to eat.
Looking like she's about the fall and sleep any minute, she continue to insist that she had to cook for her turn. After all the food was done, she didn't look any better. After they had eaten, with Yukito giving compliments and Touya twisting them, Sakura got up to clear the dishes when she felt dizzy. Everything around her went in circles as she held onto the table to steady herself. However, she gave a brilliant smile as she started to clean the dishes up, but Touya nor Yukito nor Yue missed it. When everything was done, Sakura got a phone call from her friend Tomoyo. "Hey! How are you?" With the little pink mobile phone in hand, she went upstairs and talked to her friend.
"How are you? Why didn't you come to school?" Tomoyo's wonderful voice called. "I'm really tired. That Final Judgement thing is very very tiring. I got thrown around a lot you know." They both laughed at the last remark. After about another half an hour of chatting away, the conversation ended with, "hope you get better soon." Sakura went to sleep again. She didn't even notice her father come in to check on her nor when Kero pulled her blankets up. Kero had decided that he would rely on food and the Sun to keep his powers and take next to nothing from Sakura, but supporting a human form and changing from the two and then the Moon waning was no help to Yue. He had to rely on Sakura for energy and power.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Sakura skated to school, she had got out early, earlier than her brother and did not see Yukito. She wanted to go to school and see everyone. She wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong around them. When she got there, she found everyone acting normally and greeting her cheerfully. Sakura felt so lucky that everything was ok. "Goodmorning Sakura! You are so early today." Tomoyo was the speaker and Sakura gave her a smile. "I couldn't sleep, seeing that I slept the whole of yesterday. Yue told me that I'm tired because it takes my magic to support him and his existance on Earth." There was sound from the back and turning she saw Syaoran standing at the back of his desk. He seemed to be so relieved to see her. "Goodmorning, Clow Card Mistress." That drew a smile from her. "I hate being called that though. I actually ended up giving a whole lecture Yue-san about me being his friend and not his mistress." Tomoyo laughed at the idea of seeing Sakura giving a lecture to the cold and powerful Guardian of the Moon. Sakura flushed.
Syaoran knew that Sakura was the type of a person that was innoncent and sweet, but would never back down when she knew that there was something that was important to her that she wanted to make clear. Sakura was not the type of person that was violent or unkind but stubborn and very determaned. He wandered how Yue would take his new Mistress that is so very different from Clow Reeds. As his thoughts started to travle a little more, the teacher came into the room and everyone went silent. Paying attention to class was a little hard for the usually A student. She was just too tired. Struggling to pay attention, she found that she could instead go into deep thinking. Just than there was a knock on the door of the classroom and a boy her age walked in. "Oops, I forgot to tell you all about our new student, Hiiragizawa Eriol. He's from England and would be joining our class. I want everyone to be nice to him and make him feel welcome in Japan." There was nods everywhere.
Eriol smiled his warm smile and found his eyes traveling to the young girl with short brown hair that is somehow arranged to frame her delicate face. She was very pretty. He thought. Then behind her was a boy with chocolate eyes and hair. Sakura looked to see the new boy and saw that he was staring at her as her feelings had told her. Power eminated from the boy like from Syaorn. She felt a strong pull of like towards him. Syaoran was however the very opposite. The black haired boy was so familiar to him, the power was so strong. It was even stronger than Sakura's and Shyoran knew that he had a duty to protect the Clow Cards and in that case, also Sakura.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura begun to recover from her ordeal and by the end of the week, she was back to normal. She no longer felt tired or drained. The power that ran in her was so natural for her now. She was used to it and even though she guessed that she won't be using the magic now, she was glad that she had it. It was Friday and it had started to rain. It rained nowhere else but in Tokyo and that didn't do anything to make Sakura nor the others happy. She felt that the rain was not normal. She had told Tomoyo that she would be going out to the park, away from the people and try to see what the rain was.
That night, in the Penguin park, stood a girl clad in a Dark pink robe, decorated with stars. Her beautiful eyes shone and next to her was a huge lion like beast that covered the girl with his wings to prevent the rain from wetting her. Next to the lion was another girl. She had purple hair and eyes. Holding an umbrella and camara, she stood there, waiting for something to happen. "Cereberus-san, stay with Tomoyo-chan for me." With that she was off to the middle of the playground with her key.
Saying the spell, she called "release!" She expected the blinding light and the feeling of the staff in her hands but nothing happened. She called "Release" again and again but seeing that it was hopeless, she sank to the ground and cried. The power she felt in her was not working for her. She was scared. The rain poured on her but she didn't notice. A young boy in a black robe with a picture of the Sun on it, stood on a tree, looking down at the park. There was no rain on him. His golden Sun staff, he smiled at the girl. "Not to worry Sakura. You'll figure it all out soon." He stood and watched the trio walk away, dissapointed.
"Can you call Yukito to the house tomorrow?" Cereberus asked and Sakura looked at him puzzled. "Why do you want Yukito-san over?" "It's not Yukito I want to talk to but Yue." Sakura nodded. She was a little nervous about meetin the Judge again. There was something about him that made her nervous a little weak at the knees. She had nodded and agreed that maybe Yue might know about the rain and maybe why her key wouldnt change.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura woke up earlier than usual to make breakfast and ponder the reason her key did not change. Her brother walked in, "you are up early, monster!" Sakura kept quiet. She was in no mood to shout and yell. "What? No reaction?" her 21 year old brother murmured, bringing Sakura to reality. "Is Yukito-san coming over today?" "No, I don't think so." "oh" Seeing the reaction of his sister and thinking that it's something important, he knew that his sister was worried about something and she had to see Yukito, or was it Yue? "If you cook something nice for dinner, I could ask him over and we could study together." She gave him a smile. Then she was off to school, even before him!
As she rollerbladed to school, she found herself thinking back to the moment her key didn't change over and over again. When she got to school, she found that she was very early and that only Shyoran, Eriol and some of her other friends were there. She went to her seat and thought and thought. She couldn't concentrate on anything else but the fact that there was something wrong with her key. The saff had been changed when she had used it on the day of the Final Judgement. Yue was so...oops, there she goes again...she was not suppose to think about how beautiful the Judge was. He was one of her Guardians.
Thinking back to the key, she frowned, she smelt a scent of a flower in front of her face. Looking up, she saw Eriol, offering her a small pink flower. She accepted it with a smile. "That's much better. A smile suits you the best" he saw her blush a little at the comment. "Thank you." As the teacher came in, the class was quiet and another day of school had begun. She found Shyoran and at lunch, explained what had happened the night before. he seemed as puzzled at she was. He was able to tell her that powerful magicians like Clow Reeds was would be able to creat such a weather. Their enemy would be even more powerful than them. This worried Sakura. She was new to the world of magic and she wasn't sure if she liked the idea of having a powerful magician attacking the city, but then, who would?
Struggling with the huge stack of paper, Yukito's mind, no, Yue's mind wondered. He remembered that Sakura's school was somewhere near the College. Touya all of sudden stopped to look out the window. Oh, yes, from somewhere of Yukito's memory, he saw that all the schools in Tokyo was connected together in a way. The College was next to the high school, the primary next to the otherside of the high school and the preschool next to the primary. That would make his duty as a guardian easier if he could easily get to her. "That's Sakura!" Looking closer, Yukito saw that it was indeed Sakura. "Oh, yes, it is Sakura-chan." "But what is she doing with that brat?" Touya spat out, "I can clearly see the sister complex again...boy you have good eyesight." Yukito was always ready to point out to Touya that he did love his sister and he could see it.
Looking at Sakura reminded Touya of the man next to him. "Yuki, there's something I have to tell you." Yukito smiled at the nickname Touya had given him. "What is it Toya?" "I know that you..." He didn't get to finish the sentence as there was a squeal and Nakuru on Touya. "The proffesor wants the papers soon, Kinomoto-Kun." Her voice really annoyed Touya. He sensed power in her and that put him on the edge, plus there was the fact that the girl is forever chasing after him and annoying him to death. "Yuki, give me the rest of the papers." "But it's heavy Toya." Yukito could see that he would insist. So he handed the papers over to his best friend. "Akizuki-san," "Nakuru-chan please!" "Akizuki-san, please get off me. You are chocking me." Blushing, the girl jumped off Touya and waved like crazy when he started to walk away.
"You really can't recognise it?" Yukito was startled when Nakuru turned around dramscially, her smile slipping away into something more like a sly grin and when he stood there, just shocked, she said, "then it's all mine." When she started to walk away, Yukito stood, puzzled until he remebered that he had class to go to. Yue however took that opertunity to think about what the girl had said.
After school, Sakura walked home with her pink umbrella and was called up from behind by Eriol and as they walked together, they he told her about the flower he had given her and she thanked him for it. When she got to the house after saying bye to Eriol, she found that her brother hadn't come back yet. He was studying Medical and Yukito was studying to become a teacher. It was so like them both.
She started to prepare tea and some cake she knew Yukito would like. Kero tried to get some but was locked up in Sakura's room with a few cookies. She got the rest of the dinner ready and at about 5pm, the two had arrived to see Sakura in the kitchen and smell of delicious food. Yukito was welcomed by Sakura and so was Touya. "Hey monster!" "Hello Sakura-chan. How are you today?" A smile and small blush. So young and naive. Yue observed. Awake in Yukito's mind, he saw everything that happened around him. However, he slept when Yukito was at school, but as soon as his Mistress's aura came close, he had been alert.
Yukito ate the food Sakura had prepared with that happy smile. Complimenting her on the food and talking about everyday things with the girl as she continue to blush and stare at him dreamly. Yue could see in Yukito's mind that he knew the girl's love for him, but that he would not hurt her. Also that Li Syaoran, the decentent of Clow Reeds also felt attracted to him, but also that his only love was Touya. Yue almost smiled. He was the cold one, so different from his brother, Cereberus. The Moon was always the cold one, always looking down at the people and always so expressionless and the power growing and waning like the plants. When Touya got up to leave, Yukito somehow felt that he had to stay. "I think I'll stay and help Sakura-chan with the clean up." Sakura thanked him for it and Touya seemed to be pretty happy about it as well.
As Touya headed to go to his work, Yukito waved him off. "Oh, it's still raining." In response, he thought he heard Touya say something but couldn't hear it. "Huh?" "Nothing. See ya!" With that he was out of the door. "Strange." Sakura managed to clear the table and make some tea when she found a shadow over her. Yukito walked to the hallway, intending on helping Sakura when a voice called, "return to thy true form Yue." With that, Yukito closed his eyes and with flutter of white wings and silver hair, Yue stood in place of Yukito. Tall, beautiful and emotionless as usual. "You look like you've just woke up from sleeping, brother." "Changing forms like I do, changing into different people is much harder than what you do and it's also very tiring."
Sakura started to pour the tea, not forgetting to make a cup for Kero. All of sudden, she felt a drain of power but ignored it and continued to pour the last cup when she felt a shadow over her body and looked up. When she saw Yue standing there, she let out a yell of surprise. She had not expected him to be there so quickly. Calming herself, she apolozised, "sorry. I was just so surprised to see you there." He gave her a nod. They went upstairs, just in case her father came home early and it would be so hard for her to explain why she had that handsome man in her house, especially how he had wings. They settled down, Yue prefering to stand up, Kero on the bed with the cake and tea. Sakura played with her key while drinking her tea, carefully stealing a look or two at Yue while he wasn't looking.
When she had offered him tea, he had refused, or rather Kero did. Sakura was left wandering why Yue would not eat, but then found that it was really none of her business. Kero had finished his tea and asked for a second, she took the pot and went out of the room. When her footsteps have faded, Yue finally spoke. "You got her out of the room on purpose. Why?" Kero flew to the window and pointed at the rain. "What do you think of this rain?" Yue turned to look out the window and commented, "it's as if someone is making the rain on purpose. A powerful magician." Kero nodded and changed his form. "I just wanted to make sure you thought that as well. It has a n aura of someone we are both very familiar with." Just than Sakura walked in and let out yet another yell of surpise.
Yue was secretly glad that she didn't only react that way with him. "Sakura! It's me." "It's only you Kero. You scared me. How often do you see a lion kind thing in your room with armour on him?" "You should be used to me by now!" Sakura only petted Cereberus, looking at Yue and finding him staring at her. For a reason unknown to her, she blushed, feeling his gaze on her. Yue was startled. Sakura had blushed because of him. Just then Cereberus announced, "let's check this rain out. Wear something warm Sakura. And don't forget to ring Tomoyo." Sakura nodded and Cereberus chased Yue and himself out of the room while their mistress changed. They could clearly hear the girl talking to Tomoyo on the phone. "I'll see you at the park. Ja Ne!" With that she opened the door to find her two guardians and it took all of her effort to not to let out a yell of suprise again.
When they arrived at the park, the rain started to fall harder. Tomoyo stood under her umbrella and the guardians...well...just stood in the rain. Sakura folded her umbrella and delicatly set it to the ground. Yue moved his wing to cover her from the rain, making it seem like he was just stretching his wings. She gave him a grateful smile. Pulling out her key, she chanted and called, "Release!" Again nothing happened. Sakura concentrated on the new power she discovered on the day of the Judgement. She responded only when she felt the strong sense of magic. "Cereberus, look after Tomoyo-san for me." With that she walked closer to the cyclone of water in the sky. As instructed, Cereberus moved closer to Tomoyo. Yue found himself staring at the girl stading there in the rain. He flew over to her to cover her once again with his wings. Looking up, she gave him a smile.
It was amazing that she was able to forgive him so quickly after he had tried to basically kill her and tried to harm the others around her. Her mind warmed him. Yue could see the single tear in her eyes as she pondered the reason her magic didn't work. All of sudden, a group of water started to head down to the ground to attack the 4. "Sakura!" Hearing Cereberus sound so scared cut Yue from his train of thoughts to run to the girl and fly her to safty. She was so light in his arms. Only tall as his shoulders, she felt so right in his arms. Sakura loved the feeling of being held by Yue as he twisted around to avoid the water. She felt so safe in his arms. Holding her tightly with one arm, he found his arm was just under her chest as she turned around in his arms to face him. Remebering the moment, he casted a shield to protect his mistress. When one of the many beams of water penetrated his shield, he threw the girl away from him, taking the full impact. He felt so lucky that he wasn't too far from the ground and also that Sakura was good a gymnastics.
Pain was everywhere as he hit a tree and fell to the ground. "Yue!" Sakura's voice of worry caught him from slipping into unconciousness. His Mistress was growing weak. There was no stars out and she couldn't draw the power. She had to fight with the power she would have reserved from the nights she had after the Judgement. Opening his eyes, he saw Sakura stand up from the place he had thrown her, he felt a pang of guilt as he saw her wince. "That is it!" Sakura's voice was laced with anger as she spat that out. Was she angry because of him? Or was she angry at him? As she started to chant again, the water beams gathered. "No! Sakura, get away from here!" Fear laced through the usually strong Guardian of the Sun. The water beams came crushing down at the Card Mistress as Cereberus and Yue struggled to move, they found that they couldn't. Sakura screamed in pain and surprise and it broke all of their hearts. The water beams moved the girl up, surrounding her in water. 'If we don't do anything, she'll drown!' Yue wanted to help her so much! He pushed against the barrier and found that he couldn't. Something stronger than him was blocking his path to free his body. The power seemed so much like Clow Reeds. Hadn't he announced the the Card Mistress that Clow Reeds was the only person that could beat him? But she had managed to pass the Judgement without even harming him...
There was a short scream and Yue found that he two was surrounded by water. He tried to fight and worried about his Mistress. She had been in the water for about a minute now. Could she survive? What thoughts were running in her mind? Sakura knew that she was running out of air and that she had to do something pretty quickly. When she saw Yue, Cereberus and her best friend in the water around her, something broke in her. She remembered what Clow Reeds had told her. That her staff was created by no one but herself and that she was the only person with the powers of the Stars in the Universe. "The Key that holds that power of the Stars. Under contract, I, Sakura commands you to reveal your true form. Release!" As she said so, she was suddenly sure that she could do it. That her magic would work this time. Holding her staff, she found that she was free of the water. She took a deep breath of air.
Yue looked up, surprised when he found the golden light of magic shining. What he saw was so surprising that even on his face, the surprise showed. The magical grid was not of Clow but something else. A star donimated most of the grid. He saw his Mistress free of the water and for some reason, found himself relieved. "Firery!" He expected that there will be flames everywhere with the use of her magic, but there was nothing. Sakura fell to the ground, she felt so helpless when the thoughts all clicked. If the staff had changed and therefore needed a new spell to summon the power, maybe her cards were the same. Praying for the power, she chanted, "Cards created by Clow, change and be reborn. Under the name of your new Mistress, Sakura. Firery!" The cards turned pink and gold in front of her face and she felt her energy drain. As firery rushed out to do it's job, Sakura stood and watched. A few seconds later, all that was left of the water was steam. Everyone was free from their prison of water.
"Are you ok Sakura-san?" Cereberus and Tomoyo asked at the same time. She could see that they were fine. A little wet, but the Firery had be able to dry them. "I'm fine, but the card..." Swaying, she fell backwards, into the arms of Yue. Cereberus flew over to Sakura while the other girl ran. "Is she harmed in anyway?" The voices of concern touched Yue's heart. Clow Reeds had been their master and almost a father but Cereberus had never sounded so worried in his presence as he did that night. "She's just fainted from using too much magic." Again, he was amazed when Cereberus sighed and relaxed a little. Even at the death bed of Clow Reeds, Cereberus had stayed strong. But as soon as he thinks something happened to the girl, he had worried and panicked. Since the night had cleared. Yue flew with the his Mistress in his arms. She was so light as he had discovered only half an hour before. Cereberus had transformed back to his false form as he wanted to conserve as much of Sakura's power as he could. Yue however had to stay in his form until Sakura got home and was safe in bed.
Three figures stood in the sky as the four went. "I would never hurt her Cereberus." The man with the staff in his hands commented. "Yue is growing weak." A woman? with butterfly wings commented. "Sakura is yet weak. She also has a lot to learn and soon, she'll no longer be able to support Yue. Not until she grows stronger anyway. Now she also has to support the Clow Cards. Let's go home." "Yes Master." The other two replied. One of them looked suspiciously like a Puma with butterfly wings.
As Yue flew over the city, he found that the girl in his arms was shivering. It was colder up in the air, but he didn't notice. How could he? He was of the Moon and the Wind was one of his main elements. He tried to cover her as well as he could with his wings, but found it hard as he was flying. Her robe was wet and clung to her form. The simple Pink and Silver robe was so like the girl. The Final Judge tried not to stare at the slender form in his arms as he finally reached the Kinomoto residence. "No one is home yet Yue." Kero-chan reported. Opening the door, Yue rid himself of his wings as he carried the girl into her bedroom and laid her in her bed. Leaving Kero-chan to take care of her, he went down the stairs with a goodnight to the Mistress in his mind. He transformed into his other self and gave the man the impression that he had fallen asleep after having tea with Sakura. Yukito accepted it eaily. A minute later, Touya arrived from work.
Sakura had been woken up by Kero. "Sakura! Get up and get changed!" Kero-chan ordered and Sakura got up and changed into her sleeping wear, not forgetting to use Firery to dry her hair. She had no mind to talk about anything and fell right asleep as soon as she had changed. Touya went upto Sakura's room and opened the door a little to see his 5 years younger sister sleeping peacefully. With that yellow stuffed doll on her bedside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Touya decided that his sister needed a break from school. She looked so tired and weak that he did not have the heart to wake her. Her brown hair framed her face and on her desk, he fould a book that said 'Sakura'. As strange as it was, he left it and headed for school, leaving a small note for Sakura when she woke up. He didn't want her to be worried. He supposed that Cereberus would be around in her room somewhere. When Sakura woke up, she found that the time was 12:45pm. Still tired from the night before, her eyes fell on the silver and pink book on her desk. She remembered hearing something about Clow Reeds when she came back to look at her book, but she couldn't remember now that she was so tired. next to the book was a note addressed to her. She wandered to it and found it to be a note explaining that she should stay home since she looked so sick and that Touya himself would be back at about 1pm when he finished all of his classes.
Kero woke up to find his Mistress awake, but somewhat distressed. "Kero-chan, why do I feel so weak?" She asked, holding her head in her hands. At that moment, she looked so delicate, too delicate. He wanted to cover her from everything that was to come her way as a cardcaptor. "Because you used a lot of magic last night changing that staff and also to use windy to bring down Yue. The wind is asociated with the Moon and Yue has a lot of control over it, yet you used your powers to overide his command and take yours. I was so worried when you used the Windy card, but there was something different in you. You had changed. I could clearly sense your growing powers." He commented and she gave him a small smile. Getting out of bed, she dressed herself in a simple long light pink dress and to answer the door bell. When she opened it, she found Yukito standing there with her brother. "Are you ok?" Her brother asked and she nodded and flinched as her headache increased. "I'm fine. Hello Yukito-Kun." She gave him a smile and when he smiled back with, "Hello Sakura-chan. You look so pretty today." She blushed. Touya had obviously been worried about his sister but he didn't show it much. Yukito could tell though.
Yue watched from inside of Yukito's mind as the Card Mistress stood in front of him and blushed at a comment his fake form had made. She looked so adorable like that. But searching the mind of his flase form, he saw that he did not like Sakura like she liked Yukito. Yue knew that one day, Yukito will hurt the girl's feelings. But was there anything he could do? He was powerless in the form he was in. He could change but that would cost a lot of the young girl's powers and she was weak enough as she was. But than, so was he. Never in his life did he feel so weak. Clow had created the two guardians when he was about 350 years old. Magic had a way of extending people's lives. The powerfuller, the longer the life span was of the Magician. Clow Reeds was the most powerful Magician in the world while he had lived. At the age of 350, he only looked about 35. Time had frozen on the man's features. He had died 50 years after creating Yue and his brother. He had took the matter into his hands to make sure everything will be the best they can be for Sakura, his child in the next generation. She was his only child and someone that he loved other than his parents and his creations. Looking at the child yet to be born, he had created the staff, Yue, Cereberus and Yukito. He also made sure his reincarnation would be likable to Sakura.
Yukito and Touya was having a great long conversation on their lectures while Sakura half listened and half fell asleep. She was just so tired! Never did she feel so tired after the usage of magic, but than she had never created a new staff or anything else. She had never felt that power that ran in her blood before. It was weak now but she knew that it would grow with time and experience. Tiredly, she said her excuses to the two men in her house and went up to her room to find some more rest. She heard Touya going to work and assumed that Yukito had gone as well. Suddenly, she felt a pull at her new found power and more weakness. There was a shadow above her and not wanting to, she opened her eyes.
When her eyes fluttered open, Yue found himself drowning in the emerald eyes. She looked surprised, but too tired to react. Sitting up, she found Yue and Cereberus in front of her. Seeing them in their real forms made her panic a little. "It's ok Sakura. It's only me and Yue." Cereberus insured her but the uneasiness did not go away. "I know this is very tiring for you Mistress." "Sakura" she corrected him. "Beg your pardon?" Yue's cold face did not show any expression what so ever but his silver eyes showed confusion. "I meant what I said at the Final Judgement. I told you that I want to be your friend, not your Master or Mistress. A friend is someone you should become comfortable around and be able to call each other by their names. I call you Yue-san, so you should call me Sakura as well." Yue nodded and received a smile in return. "Because you are our new Mistress, Cereberus and I will be drawing our powers from you. It takes a lot of magic to support us to in our true forms and I just wanted to warn you." Sakura had to look up to Yue since he was so tall.
Smiling, she was always smiling. "Thank you for the warning Yue-san. It explains a lot." He said his farewells to the new Mistress until he was needed again and went downstairs. It would make Yukito easier to understand. "Bye Yue-san." She had a face of longing as she said that and he wandered why. Soon enough, he found himself as Yukito, standing in the middle of the lounge room and headed upstairs to check on Sakura like he had promised Touya. "Sakura-chan? May I come in?" He called as he knocked. Not getting an answer, he opened the door a little and found the girl sleeping. She seemed so tired. But Yue knew better. He should have guessed the girl, no, teenager would have trouble supporting him with her weak powers.
Yukito stayed downstairs watching the TV and checking on Sakura now and than. She was like a little sister to him. Without having any close relatives other than his grandparents who he didn't even see often, he thought of Sakura as family. he had known her for 6 years now, since she was 10. From the very first day, she had a crush on him. He didn't want to hurt her so he was nice to her, just nice. It was 5pm when Touya came back. "How's that monster?" He asked Yukito as soon as he entered the house. "She's still asleep. You go a great deal to appear as if you don't love her, but you love her so much and care for her." Yukito smiled. So much difference from Yue. The very opposite of Yue was Yukito. Touya longed to tell Yukito that he knew that he was not a human being. But he knew that Yukito was yet to learn about the existance of Yue. The two started to study when Sakura came down and started to cook them something to eat.
Looking like she's about the fall and sleep any minute, she continue to insist that she had to cook for her turn. After all the food was done, she didn't look any better. After they had eaten, with Yukito giving compliments and Touya twisting them, Sakura got up to clear the dishes when she felt dizzy. Everything around her went in circles as she held onto the table to steady herself. However, she gave a brilliant smile as she started to clean the dishes up, but Touya nor Yukito nor Yue missed it. When everything was done, Sakura got a phone call from her friend Tomoyo. "Hey! How are you?" With the little pink mobile phone in hand, she went upstairs and talked to her friend.
"How are you? Why didn't you come to school?" Tomoyo's wonderful voice called. "I'm really tired. That Final Judgement thing is very very tiring. I got thrown around a lot you know." They both laughed at the last remark. After about another half an hour of chatting away, the conversation ended with, "hope you get better soon." Sakura went to sleep again. She didn't even notice her father come in to check on her nor when Kero pulled her blankets up. Kero had decided that he would rely on food and the Sun to keep his powers and take next to nothing from Sakura, but supporting a human form and changing from the two and then the Moon waning was no help to Yue. He had to rely on Sakura for energy and power.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Sakura skated to school, she had got out early, earlier than her brother and did not see Yukito. She wanted to go to school and see everyone. She wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong around them. When she got there, she found everyone acting normally and greeting her cheerfully. Sakura felt so lucky that everything was ok. "Goodmorning Sakura! You are so early today." Tomoyo was the speaker and Sakura gave her a smile. "I couldn't sleep, seeing that I slept the whole of yesterday. Yue told me that I'm tired because it takes my magic to support him and his existance on Earth." There was sound from the back and turning she saw Syaoran standing at the back of his desk. He seemed to be so relieved to see her. "Goodmorning, Clow Card Mistress." That drew a smile from her. "I hate being called that though. I actually ended up giving a whole lecture Yue-san about me being his friend and not his mistress." Tomoyo laughed at the idea of seeing Sakura giving a lecture to the cold and powerful Guardian of the Moon. Sakura flushed.
Syaoran knew that Sakura was the type of a person that was innoncent and sweet, but would never back down when she knew that there was something that was important to her that she wanted to make clear. Sakura was not the type of person that was violent or unkind but stubborn and very determaned. He wandered how Yue would take his new Mistress that is so very different from Clow Reeds. As his thoughts started to travle a little more, the teacher came into the room and everyone went silent. Paying attention to class was a little hard for the usually A student. She was just too tired. Struggling to pay attention, she found that she could instead go into deep thinking. Just than there was a knock on the door of the classroom and a boy her age walked in. "Oops, I forgot to tell you all about our new student, Hiiragizawa Eriol. He's from England and would be joining our class. I want everyone to be nice to him and make him feel welcome in Japan." There was nods everywhere.
Eriol smiled his warm smile and found his eyes traveling to the young girl with short brown hair that is somehow arranged to frame her delicate face. She was very pretty. He thought. Then behind her was a boy with chocolate eyes and hair. Sakura looked to see the new boy and saw that he was staring at her as her feelings had told her. Power eminated from the boy like from Syaorn. She felt a strong pull of like towards him. Syaoran was however the very opposite. The black haired boy was so familiar to him, the power was so strong. It was even stronger than Sakura's and Shyoran knew that he had a duty to protect the Clow Cards and in that case, also Sakura.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura begun to recover from her ordeal and by the end of the week, she was back to normal. She no longer felt tired or drained. The power that ran in her was so natural for her now. She was used to it and even though she guessed that she won't be using the magic now, she was glad that she had it. It was Friday and it had started to rain. It rained nowhere else but in Tokyo and that didn't do anything to make Sakura nor the others happy. She felt that the rain was not normal. She had told Tomoyo that she would be going out to the park, away from the people and try to see what the rain was.
That night, in the Penguin park, stood a girl clad in a Dark pink robe, decorated with stars. Her beautiful eyes shone and next to her was a huge lion like beast that covered the girl with his wings to prevent the rain from wetting her. Next to the lion was another girl. She had purple hair and eyes. Holding an umbrella and camara, she stood there, waiting for something to happen. "Cereberus-san, stay with Tomoyo-chan for me." With that she was off to the middle of the playground with her key.
Saying the spell, she called "release!" She expected the blinding light and the feeling of the staff in her hands but nothing happened. She called "Release" again and again but seeing that it was hopeless, she sank to the ground and cried. The power she felt in her was not working for her. She was scared. The rain poured on her but she didn't notice. A young boy in a black robe with a picture of the Sun on it, stood on a tree, looking down at the park. There was no rain on him. His golden Sun staff, he smiled at the girl. "Not to worry Sakura. You'll figure it all out soon." He stood and watched the trio walk away, dissapointed.
"Can you call Yukito to the house tomorrow?" Cereberus asked and Sakura looked at him puzzled. "Why do you want Yukito-san over?" "It's not Yukito I want to talk to but Yue." Sakura nodded. She was a little nervous about meetin the Judge again. There was something about him that made her nervous a little weak at the knees. She had nodded and agreed that maybe Yue might know about the rain and maybe why her key wouldnt change.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura woke up earlier than usual to make breakfast and ponder the reason her key did not change. Her brother walked in, "you are up early, monster!" Sakura kept quiet. She was in no mood to shout and yell. "What? No reaction?" her 21 year old brother murmured, bringing Sakura to reality. "Is Yukito-san coming over today?" "No, I don't think so." "oh" Seeing the reaction of his sister and thinking that it's something important, he knew that his sister was worried about something and she had to see Yukito, or was it Yue? "If you cook something nice for dinner, I could ask him over and we could study together." She gave him a smile. Then she was off to school, even before him!
As she rollerbladed to school, she found herself thinking back to the moment her key didn't change over and over again. When she got to school, she found that she was very early and that only Shyoran, Eriol and some of her other friends were there. She went to her seat and thought and thought. She couldn't concentrate on anything else but the fact that there was something wrong with her key. The saff had been changed when she had used it on the day of the Final Judgement. Yue was so...oops, there she goes again...she was not suppose to think about how beautiful the Judge was. He was one of her Guardians.
Thinking back to the key, she frowned, she smelt a scent of a flower in front of her face. Looking up, she saw Eriol, offering her a small pink flower. She accepted it with a smile. "That's much better. A smile suits you the best" he saw her blush a little at the comment. "Thank you." As the teacher came in, the class was quiet and another day of school had begun. She found Shyoran and at lunch, explained what had happened the night before. he seemed as puzzled at she was. He was able to tell her that powerful magicians like Clow Reeds was would be able to creat such a weather. Their enemy would be even more powerful than them. This worried Sakura. She was new to the world of magic and she wasn't sure if she liked the idea of having a powerful magician attacking the city, but then, who would?
Struggling with the huge stack of paper, Yukito's mind, no, Yue's mind wondered. He remembered that Sakura's school was somewhere near the College. Touya all of sudden stopped to look out the window. Oh, yes, from somewhere of Yukito's memory, he saw that all the schools in Tokyo was connected together in a way. The College was next to the high school, the primary next to the otherside of the high school and the preschool next to the primary. That would make his duty as a guardian easier if he could easily get to her. "That's Sakura!" Looking closer, Yukito saw that it was indeed Sakura. "Oh, yes, it is Sakura-chan." "But what is she doing with that brat?" Touya spat out, "I can clearly see the sister complex again...boy you have good eyesight." Yukito was always ready to point out to Touya that he did love his sister and he could see it.
Looking at Sakura reminded Touya of the man next to him. "Yuki, there's something I have to tell you." Yukito smiled at the nickname Touya had given him. "What is it Toya?" "I know that you..." He didn't get to finish the sentence as there was a squeal and Nakuru on Touya. "The proffesor wants the papers soon, Kinomoto-Kun." Her voice really annoyed Touya. He sensed power in her and that put him on the edge, plus there was the fact that the girl is forever chasing after him and annoying him to death. "Yuki, give me the rest of the papers." "But it's heavy Toya." Yukito could see that he would insist. So he handed the papers over to his best friend. "Akizuki-san," "Nakuru-chan please!" "Akizuki-san, please get off me. You are chocking me." Blushing, the girl jumped off Touya and waved like crazy when he started to walk away.
"You really can't recognise it?" Yukito was startled when Nakuru turned around dramscially, her smile slipping away into something more like a sly grin and when he stood there, just shocked, she said, "then it's all mine." When she started to walk away, Yukito stood, puzzled until he remebered that he had class to go to. Yue however took that opertunity to think about what the girl had said.
After school, Sakura walked home with her pink umbrella and was called up from behind by Eriol and as they walked together, they he told her about the flower he had given her and she thanked him for it. When she got to the house after saying bye to Eriol, she found that her brother hadn't come back yet. He was studying Medical and Yukito was studying to become a teacher. It was so like them both.
She started to prepare tea and some cake she knew Yukito would like. Kero tried to get some but was locked up in Sakura's room with a few cookies. She got the rest of the dinner ready and at about 5pm, the two had arrived to see Sakura in the kitchen and smell of delicious food. Yukito was welcomed by Sakura and so was Touya. "Hey monster!" "Hello Sakura-chan. How are you today?" A smile and small blush. So young and naive. Yue observed. Awake in Yukito's mind, he saw everything that happened around him. However, he slept when Yukito was at school, but as soon as his Mistress's aura came close, he had been alert.
Yukito ate the food Sakura had prepared with that happy smile. Complimenting her on the food and talking about everyday things with the girl as she continue to blush and stare at him dreamly. Yue could see in Yukito's mind that he knew the girl's love for him, but that he would not hurt her. Also that Li Syaoran, the decentent of Clow Reeds also felt attracted to him, but also that his only love was Touya. Yue almost smiled. He was the cold one, so different from his brother, Cereberus. The Moon was always the cold one, always looking down at the people and always so expressionless and the power growing and waning like the plants. When Touya got up to leave, Yukito somehow felt that he had to stay. "I think I'll stay and help Sakura-chan with the clean up." Sakura thanked him for it and Touya seemed to be pretty happy about it as well.
As Touya headed to go to his work, Yukito waved him off. "Oh, it's still raining." In response, he thought he heard Touya say something but couldn't hear it. "Huh?" "Nothing. See ya!" With that he was out of the door. "Strange." Sakura managed to clear the table and make some tea when she found a shadow over her. Yukito walked to the hallway, intending on helping Sakura when a voice called, "return to thy true form Yue." With that, Yukito closed his eyes and with flutter of white wings and silver hair, Yue stood in place of Yukito. Tall, beautiful and emotionless as usual. "You look like you've just woke up from sleeping, brother." "Changing forms like I do, changing into different people is much harder than what you do and it's also very tiring."
Sakura started to pour the tea, not forgetting to make a cup for Kero. All of sudden, she felt a drain of power but ignored it and continued to pour the last cup when she felt a shadow over her body and looked up. When she saw Yue standing there, she let out a yell of surprise. She had not expected him to be there so quickly. Calming herself, she apolozised, "sorry. I was just so surprised to see you there." He gave her a nod. They went upstairs, just in case her father came home early and it would be so hard for her to explain why she had that handsome man in her house, especially how he had wings. They settled down, Yue prefering to stand up, Kero on the bed with the cake and tea. Sakura played with her key while drinking her tea, carefully stealing a look or two at Yue while he wasn't looking.
When she had offered him tea, he had refused, or rather Kero did. Sakura was left wandering why Yue would not eat, but then found that it was really none of her business. Kero had finished his tea and asked for a second, she took the pot and went out of the room. When her footsteps have faded, Yue finally spoke. "You got her out of the room on purpose. Why?" Kero flew to the window and pointed at the rain. "What do you think of this rain?" Yue turned to look out the window and commented, "it's as if someone is making the rain on purpose. A powerful magician." Kero nodded and changed his form. "I just wanted to make sure you thought that as well. It has a n aura of someone we are both very familiar with." Just than Sakura walked in and let out yet another yell of surpise.
Yue was secretly glad that she didn't only react that way with him. "Sakura! It's me." "It's only you Kero. You scared me. How often do you see a lion kind thing in your room with armour on him?" "You should be used to me by now!" Sakura only petted Cereberus, looking at Yue and finding him staring at her. For a reason unknown to her, she blushed, feeling his gaze on her. Yue was startled. Sakura had blushed because of him. Just then Cereberus announced, "let's check this rain out. Wear something warm Sakura. And don't forget to ring Tomoyo." Sakura nodded and Cereberus chased Yue and himself out of the room while their mistress changed. They could clearly hear the girl talking to Tomoyo on the phone. "I'll see you at the park. Ja Ne!" With that she opened the door to find her two guardians and it took all of her effort to not to let out a yell of suprise again.
When they arrived at the park, the rain started to fall harder. Tomoyo stood under her umbrella and the guardians...well...just stood in the rain. Sakura folded her umbrella and delicatly set it to the ground. Yue moved his wing to cover her from the rain, making it seem like he was just stretching his wings. She gave him a grateful smile. Pulling out her key, she chanted and called, "Release!" Again nothing happened. Sakura concentrated on the new power she discovered on the day of the Judgement. She responded only when she felt the strong sense of magic. "Cereberus, look after Tomoyo-san for me." With that she walked closer to the cyclone of water in the sky. As instructed, Cereberus moved closer to Tomoyo. Yue found himself staring at the girl stading there in the rain. He flew over to her to cover her once again with his wings. Looking up, she gave him a smile.
It was amazing that she was able to forgive him so quickly after he had tried to basically kill her and tried to harm the others around her. Her mind warmed him. Yue could see the single tear in her eyes as she pondered the reason her magic didn't work. All of sudden, a group of water started to head down to the ground to attack the 4. "Sakura!" Hearing Cereberus sound so scared cut Yue from his train of thoughts to run to the girl and fly her to safty. She was so light in his arms. Only tall as his shoulders, she felt so right in his arms. Sakura loved the feeling of being held by Yue as he twisted around to avoid the water. She felt so safe in his arms. Holding her tightly with one arm, he found his arm was just under her chest as she turned around in his arms to face him. Remebering the moment, he casted a shield to protect his mistress. When one of the many beams of water penetrated his shield, he threw the girl away from him, taking the full impact. He felt so lucky that he wasn't too far from the ground and also that Sakura was good a gymnastics.
Pain was everywhere as he hit a tree and fell to the ground. "Yue!" Sakura's voice of worry caught him from slipping into unconciousness. His Mistress was growing weak. There was no stars out and she couldn't draw the power. She had to fight with the power she would have reserved from the nights she had after the Judgement. Opening his eyes, he saw Sakura stand up from the place he had thrown her, he felt a pang of guilt as he saw her wince. "That is it!" Sakura's voice was laced with anger as she spat that out. Was she angry because of him? Or was she angry at him? As she started to chant again, the water beams gathered. "No! Sakura, get away from here!" Fear laced through the usually strong Guardian of the Sun. The water beams came crushing down at the Card Mistress as Cereberus and Yue struggled to move, they found that they couldn't. Sakura screamed in pain and surprise and it broke all of their hearts. The water beams moved the girl up, surrounding her in water. 'If we don't do anything, she'll drown!' Yue wanted to help her so much! He pushed against the barrier and found that he couldn't. Something stronger than him was blocking his path to free his body. The power seemed so much like Clow Reeds. Hadn't he announced the the Card Mistress that Clow Reeds was the only person that could beat him? But she had managed to pass the Judgement without even harming him...
There was a short scream and Yue found that he two was surrounded by water. He tried to fight and worried about his Mistress. She had been in the water for about a minute now. Could she survive? What thoughts were running in her mind? Sakura knew that she was running out of air and that she had to do something pretty quickly. When she saw Yue, Cereberus and her best friend in the water around her, something broke in her. She remembered what Clow Reeds had told her. That her staff was created by no one but herself and that she was the only person with the powers of the Stars in the Universe. "The Key that holds that power of the Stars. Under contract, I, Sakura commands you to reveal your true form. Release!" As she said so, she was suddenly sure that she could do it. That her magic would work this time. Holding her staff, she found that she was free of the water. She took a deep breath of air.
Yue looked up, surprised when he found the golden light of magic shining. What he saw was so surprising that even on his face, the surprise showed. The magical grid was not of Clow but something else. A star donimated most of the grid. He saw his Mistress free of the water and for some reason, found himself relieved. "Firery!" He expected that there will be flames everywhere with the use of her magic, but there was nothing. Sakura fell to the ground, she felt so helpless when the thoughts all clicked. If the staff had changed and therefore needed a new spell to summon the power, maybe her cards were the same. Praying for the power, she chanted, "Cards created by Clow, change and be reborn. Under the name of your new Mistress, Sakura. Firery!" The cards turned pink and gold in front of her face and she felt her energy drain. As firery rushed out to do it's job, Sakura stood and watched. A few seconds later, all that was left of the water was steam. Everyone was free from their prison of water.
"Are you ok Sakura-san?" Cereberus and Tomoyo asked at the same time. She could see that they were fine. A little wet, but the Firery had be able to dry them. "I'm fine, but the card..." Swaying, she fell backwards, into the arms of Yue. Cereberus flew over to Sakura while the other girl ran. "Is she harmed in anyway?" The voices of concern touched Yue's heart. Clow Reeds had been their master and almost a father but Cereberus had never sounded so worried in his presence as he did that night. "She's just fainted from using too much magic." Again, he was amazed when Cereberus sighed and relaxed a little. Even at the death bed of Clow Reeds, Cereberus had stayed strong. But as soon as he thinks something happened to the girl, he had worried and panicked. Since the night had cleared. Yue flew with the his Mistress in his arms. She was so light as he had discovered only half an hour before. Cereberus had transformed back to his false form as he wanted to conserve as much of Sakura's power as he could. Yue however had to stay in his form until Sakura got home and was safe in bed.
Three figures stood in the sky as the four went. "I would never hurt her Cereberus." The man with the staff in his hands commented. "Yue is growing weak." A woman? with butterfly wings commented. "Sakura is yet weak. She also has a lot to learn and soon, she'll no longer be able to support Yue. Not until she grows stronger anyway. Now she also has to support the Clow Cards. Let's go home." "Yes Master." The other two replied. One of them looked suspiciously like a Puma with butterfly wings.
As Yue flew over the city, he found that the girl in his arms was shivering. It was colder up in the air, but he didn't notice. How could he? He was of the Moon and the Wind was one of his main elements. He tried to cover her as well as he could with his wings, but found it hard as he was flying. Her robe was wet and clung to her form. The simple Pink and Silver robe was so like the girl. The Final Judge tried not to stare at the slender form in his arms as he finally reached the Kinomoto residence. "No one is home yet Yue." Kero-chan reported. Opening the door, Yue rid himself of his wings as he carried the girl into her bedroom and laid her in her bed. Leaving Kero-chan to take care of her, he went down the stairs with a goodnight to the Mistress in his mind. He transformed into his other self and gave the man the impression that he had fallen asleep after having tea with Sakura. Yukito accepted it eaily. A minute later, Touya arrived from work.
Sakura had been woken up by Kero. "Sakura! Get up and get changed!" Kero-chan ordered and Sakura got up and changed into her sleeping wear, not forgetting to use Firery to dry her hair. She had no mind to talk about anything and fell right asleep as soon as she had changed. Touya went upto Sakura's room and opened the door a little to see his 5 years younger sister sleeping peacefully. With that yellow stuffed doll on her bedside.
