Chapter 8-New Cards?



Sakura walked into her room. Kero was sulking. "What is it?" Kero kept mumbling. She picked him up, and started walking for the door. "Li's still here, you know..." Kero flew up. "All right! I'll tell you."

He landed on the bed again. Sakura sat down. "Yue and Anomalous are taking Crystal to Eli Moon." Sakura jumped up. "Why to him?" She cried out.

Kero sighed. "Because Yue believes Eli will listen to Crystal. But he told me I CAN'T go! And something about an apology could help manners. Anomalous isn't really that polite." Sakura nodded. "So what's that got to do with you?"

Kero flew off the bed. "EVERYTHING!" he calmed down, and floated down from the ceiling. "Because if Crystal is chosen as the new Cardcaptor-" Sakura got a really stupid look on her face. He stopped and stared.

"You hadn't noticed? Eli Moon's been making his own cards, the moon cards. You really hadn't sensed it?" He mumbled under his breath, "Maybe we do need a new Cardcaptor." Sakura's smiling face faded as she collapsed onto her bed. "Oh Kero..."

He flew over. "She's just been chosen for a lesser challenge. "Clow Reed was twice as powerful as Eli is now. Unless..."

Kero finished the thought in his head. *Could it be? Could he have taken his power back? But that would mean that Alex is-* Kero flew out the window.

Sakura rushed after. "Kero! Unless what? Oh, who cares!" Sakura released Fly and followed Kero. He was headed for the apartment building where Alex Brennen was staying.
