Sakura and the Alternate Reality CardCaptor
Chapter 7- Just a warningSakura was the first to wake up the next morning.
She blinked and looked around, seeing Meilin sleeping soundly on her stomach and Tomoyo curled up in a ball on Sakura's bed. She frowned, wondering where Syaoran had gone, when a weight shifted under her head. She sat up straight and looked at her "pillow". Syaoran's shoulder. And what a nice little drool patch that was.
Syaoran's head flopped forward and he woke up then too.
'Unrr!' he yawned, stretching out.
Sakura blushed, hoping he wouldn't notice she'd drooled on him.
'Ohayo gozaimasu, Syaoran-kun!' Sakura said, plastering a smile on her pale, tired face. The nightmare, or "visit", from the "dead" boy hadn't helped her beauty sleep one bit, and it showed.
'Ohayo, Sakura-chan,' he muttered, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
/How adorable/ she thought, looking at Syaoran, blushing even more, so she was crimson. She tore her eyes away from the sight, and looked around for Kero.
Syaoran was studying his t-shirt, wondering where the huge wet patch on his shoulder had come from. He frowned, 'Saku-'
*BANG CLATTER SMASH*
Sakura and Syaoran jumped up, while Meilin and Tomoyo were jerked awake.
'Whadda-?' Meilin asked dumbly
Sakura held her staff in her hand and was peering out of the door nervously.
'AIE! IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS. AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE, SAKURA I'M ON FIRE! AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEE!'
'Sounds like-'
'KERO-CHAN!' Sakura fled from the room, 'I'm coming!'
Syaoran ran after her shortly, yelling something about it being a trap.
Meilin and Tomoyo sat there, still half asleep.
*
'KERO-CHAN!' Sakura burst into the smokey kitchen, and dropped to her knees.
'AIIIE, the pain!' Kero choked voice whimpered.
'Windy card! Release and Dispell!' Sakura gasped.
The smoke cleared and she saw Kero rolling around, trying to put himself out…although her wasn't really on fire, his tail was just singed [1]. The stove was alight, though, and a frying pan lay next to Kero, pancake mix spilling out it.
Syaoran crashed in, tripping over Sakura, who was still on her knees.
'Argh!' He landed flat on his face.
'Kero-chan! Syaoran-kun! Are you okay?!' Sakura gasped, then remember her stove was still on fire. 'AIIIE, Kero-chan! My house is gonna burn down!' Sakura screeched, reaching for the Watery and calling on it.
'Sakura, water adds to oil fires! It makes them bigger!'
*WHOOSH!*
'AIIE! My Eyebrows!'
'You don't have eyebrows you stuffed animal.'
'WHY YOU-?!'
'GUYS!'
'What's going on here?'
'HOLY SHIT, Sakura!'
Sakura started sobbing. 'I'm dead.'
Tomoyo, being sensible, got a damp towel, a put it over the flames, which had calmed down slightly.
Meilin surveyed the scene, Syaoran and Kero were both sprawled out on the floor, glaring at each other and Sakura was sobbing, curled up in a ball.
'Phew, well done Tomoyo-chan,' Meilin muttered, as Tomoyo helped Sakura up and was telling her it would be okay.
'What am I going to do, Tomoyo-chan?!'
'Shh, we'll just explain that there was an accident.'
'IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT!' Kero squawked, 'THE STOVE TRIED TO KILL ME!'
'Baka!' Syaoran muttered, standing up and brushing off his boxers (which he's still wearing, BTW).
'WHAT?!'
'I said "baka" you baka'
Kero flew at Syaoran, who snatched the Guardian Beast out of the air and pulling on his wings.
'HEY!'
'STOP IT!' Tomoyo roared.
Silence.
'A-I-e.' Kero squeaked and hid.
'Now, Kero what happened?'
'The stove attacked me,' Kero whispered, looking terrified of Tomoyo.
'The stove couldn't attack you stuffed-'
'Ah, ah, ah,' Tomoyo interrupted, 'how, Kero-chan?'
'It just set alight, I didn't do anything!' Kero pouted, 'you were all asleep and I was hungry. I tried to wake up Sakura, but she was too busy drooling on the kid.'
Sakura stopped sobbing and tried to hit Kero. Syaoran studied his now dry t-shirt and blushed.
'What happened, explain it better.'
'Well…'
*FLASHBACK (cuz I'm too lazy to write it as Kero speaking) *
Kero fluttered into the kitchen, hi little stomach grumbling in hunger.
'Stupid kid, Sakura sleeping on him, I'm hungry! And dehydrated still! Stupid, stupid! No one cares that the Guardian Beast of the Seal is hungry, oh, no.'
He pulled open a cupboard and searched for the pancake mix. After finding it, he lit the stove and started to prepare to make pancakes.
He had just started making one when the plastic handle of the pan turned red-hot.
'ITAI!' he hissed, and glared at the pan.
"Hehe, mischief shall be created!"
'What the hell?! Hey, kid, this isn't funny!'
"This is a warning…Sakura will be mine"
Kero frowned the voice was female…it defiantly wasn't the kid.
"The Collection will almost be complete, her power is great"
A twisted, high pitch giggle rang around the room and Kero was knocked into the stove, his cute little tail hitting the flames.
'AIE!'
The laugh sounded again and Kero jumped, knocking the frying pan to the floor.
He fell to the floor, rolling around to try and put his tail out.
"A simple little warning, Cerberus, don't get in my way when I take Sakura"The stove turned into flames and Kero started yelling.
*End Flashback*
'She sent you a warning?' Sakura spluttered.
Kero glared and clutched his singed tail, 'A painful one.'
'Maybe you shouldn't stay here then Sakura…'Meilin muttered, 'she knows where you live.'
'We'll all go to my house, mom's away on business and I'm sure nobody would notice.'
Syaoran nodded in agreement.
Sakura thought, and agreed to.
'But, what about the kitchen?'
They all surveyed the ruins of the kitchen.
'Er---'
[1]- Aw, c'mon, do you really think I'd hurt poor little Kero-chan?
Argh! Lame chapter, ne? Gomen, but I just had to write it…it was the only thing in my head. Things exciting will happen next…o_O
