Well, hello! And Welcome to My Little World of Weirdness!
I state for the record that, despite the fact I really, really wish I did, I don't own any of the characters that will grace this story; it's all CLAMP's! Always has been, always will be!
Also I don't pretend to have any Mastery over the language of Japanese or any clue as to correct grammatical structure. I put it in and hope it gets across the point I'm trying to make!

Part One: Everyone's *So* Mean To Me!
It was raining *again*.
Heavily.
Really heavy.
He looked up at the sky with disgust. //If it's the Master's reincarnation again, I'll kill him! // He promised himself.
"Kero! Circle around once more please, Yue says he can't sense anything!" His new Mistress called. He sighed and took off, they'd been out here for the last hour . . . // In the pouring rain and it was cold and windy and cold some more and windy and . . .// he couldn't think of any more words to describe the conditions that he was experiencing so he made some up, //Freezeaboopbalula, and . . . // he ran out of made up words. "IT'S COLD!!" He roared.
"That does not matter, Keroberos!" Yue pulled up beside him, "Just follow the Mistress' instructions."
"I'm cold! I'm getting reaaaally wet! My wings are going to freeze! I'm even getting wet under my helmet!!" Kero kept this line of complaint up until they reached a suitable altitude to survey the entire park. He closed his eyes, and reached out with his senses.
There was Yue, a cool amethyst aura. //Just as cold as the night. // Kero groused, //Of course he won't feel the cold! //
There was the Mistress, a pink *warm* aura. //Warm like the blanket that awaits me when I get home. //
There was the Gaki, a grass green aura. // . . .// Kero thought, // Lucky for him, I'm too cold to think of any insulting comments or I'd really rip it outta him!//
Then there was Sakura's best friend, she had a pale violet aura, // if Tomoyo was the Mistress, SHE wouldn't make me come out in this horrible weather . . . then again, she wouldn't be able to sense anything . . .// Kero frowned.
"What is it?" Yue had noticed his frown, "What do you feel?"
"Oh, nothing." Kero quickly returned his attention back to his task.
There was a familiar red aura near-by. // Red? Red, red, red, red, who do I know has a red aura? // Kero tried to place the aura . . .
"Sponge toy! Hurry up it's cold down here!!" Meilin screamed up at him. //Of course, red's Meilin.// He turned his senses away from her. The Gaki's fiancée had recently returned. Kero shivered with a chill that had nothing to do with the weather.
"I'm cold, I'm so cold, I'm so very cold, I'm so very, really, cold, I'm so very, really, muchly cold, I'm so-"
"Keroberos, concentrate on your Mistress' order." A chilly cerulean aura came to join the amethyst glow of Yue's.
"Shut up, Suppi! He's right!" A neon-pink aura nearly blinded his senses.
"Ruby! Back off slightly. You're blocking my sight." Kero muttered.
Ruby flew down to the ground, calling back to him; "I know when I'm not wanted."
"Really? Coulda fooled me!" Yelled an irritated ginger aura. "Oi! Mystical guardians of Cl-ow . . . !"
"Clow! It rhymes with glow and flow!" Yue called back just as irritated, his robes were just sucking the water up and he was having a hard time staying in the air under the weight.
"And Moe!" added Kero.
"Kero I said 'concentrate'!" Yue snapped.
"I'm cold! And now to mention it, it's dark!" Kero moaned.
Sakura was huddled with her brother under a large umbrella; she peeked out, "Anything Kero?"
Kero did another sweep of the park, aside from Eriol's deep violet aura; there was nothing of immediate concern.
"NO!!" He yelled down at her, "CAN WE GO HOME NOW? I'M-"
"COLD!!" The whole group yelled at him, YES! WE GATHERED THAT!!"
Thankfully Fujitaka was away for a bit. Or else he would be highly freaked out by his children's company and the large winged lion that stood shivering in his hallway.
"I don't think you truly grasp how cold I am." He sat down obstinately. "I'm really, really, cold and since I don't have any hands I think you should dry me."
"Bah!" Yue started to undo the clasp that held his belt on and peel off the sodden clothes. "I have to dry my hair before I return to my other form." He threw a towel over Kero's head. "Dry yourself."
Kero threw his head back and the towel landed, with practiced ease, upon his back. He padded, dripping rainwater, into the living room. "Someone needs to dry me," He said. "Now."
The Gaki was ringing his battle costume's sleeves out. "Do I look like your handmaiden? My clothes are well over a century old. They are more important."
Kero turned to the next nearest person, "I'm cold and wet, and I'm not getting any drier. Dry me."
"Don't worry when you turn back to that sponge toy of a false form, you'll soak up all the water! OH HO HO HO HO!!" Meilin laughed at her distinctly un-funny joke.
Kero sniffed, his nose felt wetter then ever before and colder. "Mistress, you'll help me, won't you?"
Tomoyo quickly stepped in, "No, no, first, we'll help Sakura-chan to get dry then we'll come back and dry you."
And with that, she quickly pushed his Mistress up the stairs. He looked at his last option.
"Don't even open your mouth." Touya folded his arms, he was just as wet as everyone else, "I'm going up to change."
Kero sniffed again, and padded into the kitchen. He nudged the door open.
//Good ol' kitchen// he thought, //You'll keep me warm!//
But the kitchen was freezing cold; the window had been left wide open when they had left in such a hurry.
// Et tu kitchen? // Kero thought bitterly.
"Now then . . . Keroberos . . ." Yue said as he descended the stairs again, his hair was sufficiently dry now, and he came down in search of his brother. He stepped into the sitting room. The two Li's had changed from their battle robes in to more drier and comfortable attire; Touya was glaring at the Li clan head. Yue shook his head, he didn't really know what had set off their argument at their first meeting, his other form, Yukito had declined to ask Touya.
"Has anyone seen Keroberos?" He asked, "If I don't get him dry soon; he'll not only moan about it for the next few days, but he'll start to smell of Wet Cat-ness."
"Wet Cat-ness?" Meilin asked him, "What on earth does wet cat-ness smell like?"
"Trust me . . . you don't want to know." He turned as he heard the Mistress and her friend descend the stairs. "Mistress?"
"Yes, Yue-sama?" her pretty, emerald eyes blinked at him.
He frowned slightly at the suffix, it wasn't polite, as *she* was the Mistress. "Have you seen Keroberos?"
"Wasn't he down here?" She asked the people behind him. The shrugs she got answered her question.
"Where would he have gone?" Asked Tomoyo.
After some serious thought, Sakura answered, "The kitchen!"
Yue turned and strode into the kitchen instantly.
The group settled back, Touya and Syaoran still glaring at each other, Meilin, Sakura and Tomoyo looking at the digital display on Tomoyo's camera, looking over the footage hoping to figure out what she had felt that evening.
A tranquil quiet settle over the group.
A quiet which was shattered by Yue's yell, his voice was laced with an unfamiliar fear.
"KEROBEROS!!"
