The Master's Stone

Chapter 15

By: AznTiGeR1628

"Sakura?"

Sakura with her head down in a daze didn't notice who she ran into.

"Huh?" With stars around her head, looked up and saw the most HANDSOME guy she had EVER seen! She started to blush and then… 'HEY! Wait a minute! How does he know my name?! '

She glanced back up at him. He was staring at her. Sakura stared back into those wide amber eyes. Then a name popped like a bubble right into her head…

"… Syaoran-kun?"

Sakura whispered softly in astonishment. The young man blinked twice at the sound of his name but smiled at her. Sakura's eyes opened wide. He had the same unruly hair… Those same amber eyes, facial features…

"Its really you!" Sakura jumped up and flung her arms around---

*~*~*

Meanwhile…

Kero just started to drift off into a peaceful slumber with a satisfied smile etched onto his face when he was thrown to the other side of the bag as soon as Sakura rebounded off someone.

"Ow… " Kero muttered softly. He rubbed his head as he sat up. He decided to take a peek outside the bag to see what happened. He looked out and saw… the floor?

"Its really you!"

He realized Sakura was just about to jump up and hug someone. In a state of panic he flew out because he didn't want anyone to touch his mistress.

"EEH! EH-EH!" Kero popped up into Sakura's face. "WHOA! HOLD ON THERE!" He waved his hands in front of her face.

"Whaddaya think your doin?! Hugging this- this GUY?!" Kero gestured to the young man behind him. Kero froze, all of a sudden realizing his mistake, and fell to the floor like a stuffed animal.

Kero heard the young man behind him squat down to the floor and asked, "So how's life cotton fluff?"

Kero, with an O for a mouth and smaller ones for his eyes, sprang up (*b-oing*) and faced the young man. "YOU! The- the- BRAT!"

"Yep. That's right stuffed animal. It's me. Li Syaoran."

*~*~*

'Finally! He's back. Now Sakura won't be sad anymore.' Tomoyo thought to herself. 'hmmm.. I wonder if he saved the gift a gave him before he left…'

Tomoyo had been playing with some toys down the next few aisles when she heard Sakura call her, and then ran into someone. Tomoyo hurried over to see if Sakura was all right. When she almost got there, she saw a young man in front of Sakura staring at her. Tomoyo instantly knew who it was and almost ran over to welcome him back to Japan but decided to stay where she was. Tomoyo whipped out her camcorder and pressed record. 'KAWAII!'

*~*~*

Sakura watched Kero and Syaoran meet each other again after so many years. She couldn't believe how much he grew and matured! Sakura could tell that Syaoran had gone through some tough training in Hong Kong while he was away. Something in the window caught her eye.

There were two girls pressing their faces into the windowpane trying to get a good look at what was happening inside. Sakura recognized one of them instantly. It was Jing!

The two girls realized Sakura saw them from inside. Jing arched an eyebrow, waved both hands and smiled at her while the other girl gave Sakura a two-thumbs up sign and an amused smile.

"Syaoran-kun? Whose that?" Sakura asked innocently. Syaoran glanced to the window and turned a slight shade of red from embarrassment. Before he could answer, the two girls let themselves in.

"Hi Sakura! Tomoyo! Kero!" Jing said. She knew exactly what Sakura was thinking about. Jing pushed the girl next to her in front of Sakura.

"Ahh! Syaoran! You two are so CUTE!" The other girl winked at him.

"I know! Aren't they so KAWAII!" Tomoyo agreed from behind while videotaping.

"Hi I'm Si Mun. Syaoran and Jing's cousin and Jing's martial arts partner." Si Mun gave her a smile. "Its nice to meet you Clow Mistress." Si Mun shook Sakura's hand. "It's nice to meet you too Si Mun." Sakura replied with a smile.

All of a sudden, Sakura frowned. She looked over at Syaoran who was saying hi to Tomoyo. She looked back at Jing.

Sakura then noticed something as she stepped away from him. She put hand out. "Wh- Where's your aura?" Sakura muttered under her breath.

Jing didn't hear Sakura but saw that she realized something was wrong. "Are you looking for our auras?"

Sakura, a little speechless, nodded.

"We concealed them so that we could surprise you." Si Mun said with an amused smile. "Did it work?"

Sakura nodded again immediately.

*~*~*

At the park…

As they all caught up on what has happened the last few years while Syaoran was away from Japan, Si Mun and Jing listened attentively. Si Mun and Jing talked to the others about themselves, who they were, what they did together, what the Dawn and Twilight orbs were… except they didn't say anything about why they were there. For a reason. A very important reason. Now was just not the time.

After a long while, it started getting late and Syaoran, Jing and Si Mun had some unpacking to do. Well, its wasn't that late, but they did have things to do.

*~*~*

Sakura skipped home and with Kero in her bag, it wasn't a great idea. However, she was too happy to care. Syaoran was back and that was all that mattered.

Sakura skipped up to the doorsteps and let herself in. She walked up the stairs and to her room. Kero squirmed out of his bag and watched her as she plopped on her bed and lay down with a smile plastered onto her face.

Kero watched, amazed at how happy his mistress was. "How long has it been since I've seen you like this Clow Mistress?" He murmured under his breath. "Just pure happiness." He took his new game out of her bag. He read the name. "FINALLY! ZYLON WARRIORS! REVELATION OF THE LAST HERO! YEEES!" Kero zoomed over to the game console and put it in. "Thanks Sakura!"

Sakura didn't exactly hear him because she was just… so happy. "What Kero?" Sakura rolled over to face the small TV in her room. "Oh. No problem." Besides, she might not have seen Syaoran until school starts Monday morning if she hadn't went to buy that game for Kero today.

*~*~*

Syaoran thought about Sakura as he cleaned his apartment. 'Wow. She's changed so much.' Syaoran thought. Then a different voice came into his head. 'She's very strong and powerful. But that is to be expected since she is the Mistress of the Clow. I wouldn't be surprised if she could beat you in magic.' Syaoran, a bit surprised to have the Master's Stone voice come into his head, replied. "She doesn't know any magic. She only knows how to use the cards. 'She might have changed over the last years that you didn't know her. I had felt her power. She is strong.' The Master's Stone let Syaoran ponder over that for awhile.

After cleaning, Syaoran had bought groceries from the grocery store down the street to stock his fridge back up and was unpacking the paper bags when he heard several knocks at his door. Syaoran stopped unpacking and walked to the door to open it.

"Hey Si Mun. Hey Jing." Syaoran said as his two cousins came into his room.

"Wow. You've already cleaned, dusted, and unpacked." Jing said as she looked around the apartment. "Your good."

"So why did you come over?" Syaoran asked them.

"No reason really. We just wanted to visit our cousin." Si Mun shrugged. Then suddenly she put a finger up. "Maybe we can go spar in the park? After dinner of course. Would you like to come over to our apartment for dinner?" Si Mun asked.

"Sure."
