Once again: Thankies reviewers! Keep um' coming!
This chapter took me so long to get it written, I was totally lacking ideas…so it sorta goes on and on etc. and is probably very boring.
Sakura and the Alternate Reality CardCaptor
Chapter 5- What's she playing at?
'SHE WHAT?!' Kero leapt up and into Sakura's face. She had just finished telling them about Korede Tanaqui and the other realities.
'She just…let me go,' Sakura said shrugging.
Syaoran sat silent, his brow creased into a frown.
'I know it sounds off, but I told you what she said when she let me go,' Sakura shrugged again and looked over at the brown-eyed boy, 'what do you make of it, Syaoran-kun?'
He jerked out of his thoughts.
'Wha-? Oh. I don't think we should trust her.'
'We already established that, kid.'
Syaoran sent Kero-chan a withering look, who sent one right back at him.
'Okay, you two, stop,' Sakura said sensing trouble. She pulled Kero out of sight from Syaoran.
Syaoran looked back at Sakura, 'And I think someone should stay with you at all times.'
Sakura blushed, 'Even when I'm in the bathroom?'
Syaoran blushed now, 'Well-er, that's not what I meant. Just to stay in the house with you, that's what I meant.'
'That's what I'm here for! And she has her Dad and brother,' Kero put in, 'she doesn't need anymore protection!'
Sakura got up and wandered into the kitchen, not wanting to listen to Kero and Syaoran bicker.
On the kitchen counter she saw a note she hadn't noticed before.
Monster,
Don't forget you're going to be on your own tonight. Dad's working, and I'm going out with Yukito. Don't break anything and don't forget to do your chores.
Touya [1]/Oh, I totally forgot/ Sakura thought. She debated on whether to tell Syaoran when there was a knock at the door.
'Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo hurtled into Sakura, wrapping her in a hug, 'you're okay! You're okay!'
'I'm fine Tomoyo, just suffering from crushed lungs,' Sakura gasped and Tomoyo let her go.
'Where did you go?'
'Give her a chance, Tomoyo,' Meilin said as she steeped inside.
Sakura stood silently for a while, unsure of what to say.
'Sakura?' Syaoran stepped into the hall. Catching sight of the newcomers he said hello.
'Well, what happened?' Tomoyo asked impatiently, 'how did you go through that wall?'
Sakura set about explaining it again, Tomoyo staring in awe.
When she had finished going through the tale a second time, nothing happened.
'Well---isn't there any comments?'
'That's twisted,' Meilin said, 'collecting people? What kind of sicko does that?'
'Obviously the type of "sicko" we're dealing with,' Syaoran said in monotone, getting up from his seat, 'if this is true, and this Korede intends to take Sakura, why did she just let her go the first time?'
'I-'
'Yes, she wants to fight. But why fight when she has what she wants right there, in front of her?'
'She's gone in the head,' Meilin said, helpfully.
Kero sat there pondering, 'If she wants Sakura, we'll have to make sure she doesn't get to her this time. That means no falling through walls or umbrellas [2] or anything like that, okay, Sakura?'
'I've already said someone should stay to watch over her.'
Kero glared at Syaoran, 'And I said, she's already got loads of people her.'
Tomoyo, Meilin and Sakura glanced at each other, and in silent agreement left the room. The faint noise of Kero and Syaoran arguing was heard in the hallway.
'I'm staying here tonight Sakura,' Tomoyo said, in her no nonsense voice, 'it's not safe, even if you are here with Kero-chan.'
'But I thought…Kero said your Dad and brother would be here.'
'Well-' Sakura's sentence was cut off by…
'WHY YOU!'
'Yeah, you little stuffed anim- OW!'
All three girls winced and looked to the door of the living room.
'My money's on Kero-chan, 'Tomoyo muttered [3].
Meilin opened her mouth to say something, but shut it quickly when a loud smashing noise came from the living room.
'Oh, no,' Sakura turned away and went up the stairs, Tomoyo following closely behind her.
Meilin debated on whether to go and stop Syaoran and Kero from killing each other or going upstairs. She decided on the latter. There was no stopping those two.

'My brother and father aren't going to be here tonight. Dad's working and Touya went out with Yukito,' Sakura said, sighing.
'Then I'm definitely staying tonight, Sakura-chan.'
'Mmm.'
'I'm sure that's what Syaoran would say,' Meilin said, a mischievous smirk gracing her features. She and Tomoyo exchanged a glance, before looking up at Sakura.
'What? I-'
'Don't' worry Sakura. Let's go and check to see if there's no blood on the carpet.'

Syaoran glared at Kero as they discussed a plan. Kero simply glared right back.
'Guys, stop right now, we've decided us girls should all stay here,' Sakura stated, entering the room.
She put the note from her brother on the table; 'It's the best idea.'
Kero read over the note, 'The kid better stay as well.'
Sakura shrugged in agreement.
Syaoran was blushing slightly, while Meilin and Tomoyo glanced knowingly at each other. Kero didn't know what he [4] had just done. Sakura caught the look, blushed and looked innocently at the two girls.
'Well—let's plan, shall we? We're going to be ready for her, but first we have to figure out what she's playing at?
BAD chapter…rite? Very boring and short too, I guess. Ne hoo, review and I'll try to get the next part out soon (which should be better).
[1]- I know…predictable, but it's going to be useful later on…hehe ^_^()
[2]-Inside joke…funny, but it would take to long to explain.
[3]- OMG! Tomoyo OOC, v. OOC!
[4]- I'm saying Kero's male…but that's confusing, cuz in the Dub Kero's voice is male, but in the original it's female…so…-_-() ARGH!
