AN: Okay! Here is the sequel to Time Warp one: Child. I hope you like it. R+R please! I warn you for one last time. If you have not read the first part of the story, don't read this.

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS. Boo hoo! I wish I did though.. They belong to Clamp.



Sakura stood up and walked out of the grass heap she was in. She walked about and brushed the grass out of her auburn hair. She heard something running towrds her. Suddenly she was pushed to the ground by something pouncing on her. "Kerobearous!?" Sakura shouted, surprised.

"Kerobearous! What have I told you about pouncing people!?" A male voice scolded. Kerobearous got off of Sakura and what Sakura guessed to be Yue walked over. Both Yue and Kerobearous were older, but not as old as the ones she knew from Tokyo.

"I'm sorry. He always gets excited." Yue apologized. He bent down to help Sakura up. He hadn't looked down to see whom he was taking to. He finally looked at her. "Sakura?!"

"Hi guys!" She said, then sweat dropped. Yue helped her up and the three of them walked to the house.

"Clow! We have a visitor!" Kerobearous said slyly as they walked into the house. Clow Reed walked out of his study and over where the three of them stood.

"Sakura? What happened? What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Well when I was last here the return card took me here, not to my own time." Sakura explained. "So could I see the return card so I can go home?" She asked holding out her hand.

"Um, Sakura.." Clow started.

"What?!" Sakura steamed. She knew this was not going to be good.

"When you left, we lost the return card." Clow explained.

Sakura nearly fell to the floor with this comment, but Yue held her up. She'd be stuck here for at least another week while Clow Reed makes a new one.

"Oh boy. Well, I need to go relax. Where can I stay?" Sakura sighed.

"You can stay in the room you were in last time." Clow told her. Sakura walked to her "bedroom" and lay down.

She looked out the window and saw Yue and Kerobearous, but instead of playing tag they were sitting and talking. Sakura looked back up at the ceiling and tried to think of why Yue was so different in her own time. What was it she saw in his eyes that was different from his past self. The look was familiar. She had aready seen it in her own eyes when she was alone. She never showed it in front of everyone.

Sakura was suddenly brought to her own cruel memory of that rainy day..

FLASHBACK

"Syaoran wait!" She had called.

"Sakura, I need to tell you something important. I don't love you the way you love me. You are my friend and that is all." Syaoran told her. He ran away, leaving her in the rain, tears in her eyes. She had been rejected.

END FLASHBACK

Rejection. Is that what she had seen in his eyes. She had heard about the whole Clow+Yue thing. Was that what made him unhappy? Did he feel unwanted?

'I have to tell him not to worry about that. He has to be happy, for his own sake.' Sakura told herself in her mind.

***

As the days passed Sakura tried over and over to talk to Yue, but she just couldn't do it. She walked up to Yue a million times, but the words didn't come to her. She would have to turn away and leave him. 'Why am I so nervous?' She thought.

Then she remembered the rest of her flashback.

FLASHBACK

Sakura stood crying in the rain. She fell to her knees, not caring if she got covered in mud. She didn't want to face anyone right now. She was to upset. But suddenly she heard the flapping of wings and then she heard Yue's voice. Yue told her to try to be calm and that She shouldn't worry about Syaoran. She had many people who loved her. He had sympothized with her. Yue then flew her home.

END FLASHBACK

Did he really care for her some way that wasn't just his way as a guardian? And did she care for him in the same way? Did she love him?

Sakura ran these questions through her mind for quite some time, until she discovered the answer to all of these questions. Yes. She loved Yue. What had taken her so long to realize it?

"Sakura, the return card is ready." Clow said as he popped his head in the door.

"Okay, just let me go say good-bye to Yue and Kerobearous." Sakura said as she hopped off the bed.

First she found Kerobearous and said good-bye, then came the hard part. Talking to Yue.

She found Yue in a tree outside. 'Okay, Here it comes. I have to tell him now!' She told herself. "Yue, could I talk to you?" She asked.

"Sure!" Yue said then flew out of the tree.

"I'm leaving for home now," Sakura said. "but I want to tell you something. I want you to know that even if something big happens, like you think you love someone, but they don't love you back, well just don't let it get to you. Just remember that there are lots of other people who care about you as a friend. Okay?" Sakura told him.

"Okay.." He said confused.

"Well I have to go." Sakura smiled. She then kissed Yue on the cheek and ran back to the house.

"I'm ready!" Sakura called as she walked in the house. She was now blushing a deep crimsen.

Clow smirked at this. "Here it is." Clow said, handing her the new return card. "So I will create a shield around the card after you use it to keep it here."

"Right." Sakura agreed. "Return card! Bring me back to me own time! Return card!" She shouted. Clow created the shield just as Sakura was thrown back into the time void again.

***

When she landed she stood up and looked around to see where she was. "Hey! I'm at the Tokyo Tower! I'm home!" She shouted.

"Sakura!" Someone shouted. She looked behind her. She saw Tomoyo, Syaoran and Kero running over. But instead of coming to her they went to another Sakura! Also there was Ms. Mackenzie and Yue, but this Yue was not here as a guardian, quite yet. He was here for the final judgment.



AN: Okay that's it! Cliffhanger ending I know, but I will write the next part soon if you want me to. Please tell me!
