I'm really cranking these out! This'll be the third chapter in 3 days! Unfortunately, I won't always update this quickly. Anywho, last chapter was quite nice, although Starrie doesn't like how I'm flirting with Sakura (I'm Shinigami-sama). Well, too bad! I'm a flirt, I can't help it!
Starrie: *glares* who wouldn't like the fact that you're flirting with Sakura!! the only one who's allowed to do that is kawaii Syaoran!!!
I'm sorry, that's my friend Starrie, she'll pop in from time to time to annoy me.
Starrie: *pinches him* hey...I'M annoying??? *glares at him some more and then turns to readers and smiles sweetly*
Are you going to let me start the story sometime today?
Starrie: *ignores him* konnichiwa everyone! for those of you who know who I am, hizies!! and for those who don't...err...hizies!! *sweatdrop*
*pushes her off a cliff* don't worry, she has wings. I just need to start the story.
Starrie: *pops back up, flying in the air* well, like HE *glares* said, on with the story!!! *pushes him into the nearest lake and flies away as fast as she can*
*mumbles* I'm a god for cryin' out loud, I shouldn't have to deal this...
Chapter Three
Kinomoto Household
Sakura woke with a start, with sweat beading on her forhead. That was an odd dream. She hoped that it didn't mean that she would die soon. Kero flew to her mistress.
"Sakura! I sense an evil power in Penguin park! Syaoran and Eriol are already on their way!" he told her.
She concentrated and confirmed Kero's information by sensing their auras. "Let's go!" she said as she grabbed her book and ran out the door, after slipping on one of Tomoyo's old battle suits. She hurried to the park.
She got there to see Syaoran and Eriol with their weapons already released. Then she saw what looked like a demon hovering above the park, apparently quite evil. She released her staff and stood next to her friends.
"Ha ha ha! What a nice line of children for me to destroy," the demon mocked.
"You won't destroy us because you're going down!" Li yelled. "Element Fire! Come to my aid!" a large mass of fire surged at the beast, but it nimbly dodged it and laughed at them.
"Earthy! Cage that demon, release and dispel!" the ground shook as five pillers erupted from the ground and encased the demon.
"Element lightning!" a bolt of lightning ripped through the cage, but the demon broke free and cackled evilly at him.
"You think those sideshow tricks will stop me! Ha!" the beast jeered. (the demon is the beast for the slow folk)
What the four didn't know is that a boy was watching them, his interest growing. He then decided that he'd witnessed enough and planned to intervene.
"You'll need a god to defeat me!" the demon laughed again. Over the last ten minutes, she had beaten the three warriors up. Eriol was using healing spells to keep them all going, but it looked like their efforts might not be enough. "And are any of you gods?"
"I am," a low voice said. The voice was very soft, barely inaudible, but it had an effect on everyone there. It seemed to penetrate every pore, every fiber of their being. It even made their souls shiver.
"Who said that!?" the demon yelled angrily.
A figure stepped from the shadows and what a figure he was. His stature was that of a boy. He was about 5' 10", 150 pounds, but those weren't his notable features. His eyes glowed a deep, dark red; his hair was in a long braid and seemes as if it were made from pale gold. On his back were a set of massive bat wings. He even flapped them powerfully a few times as he glared at the beast. Even this demon was taken aback by his appearance, but quickly regained its composure.
"Who are you?"
The figure continued to glare unblinkingly.
"Who are you!?" it asked again, more forcefully.
Still glaring.
"WHO ARE YOU!?!?!?!" the demon screamed becoming increasingly angry.
"Watakushi wa Shinigami desu, I am the God of Death." This new being whispered, but was heard by all. Sakura was especially wide-eyed at this statement.
"I dreamed about him..." she whispered to herself. Everyone was too shocked to take notice of her mumbling.
"HAHAHAHAHA! The God of Death? Right! Show me what you got Shinigami-sama!" the demon taunted.
The God simply reached behind his back and removed his weapon. It appeared to be like a half-chakram (that would be half of a sharpened ring). It had a handle about two feet long and at the top a blade was attached. This blade made a shallow arc for the entire width of the handle, the tip ending at the very bottem of the handle. He fingered an unseen control and the blade let out slightly before the handle extended to a full six feet long. He tapped the bottem on the ground and the blade became two as it swung into an upright postion. He was now holding a very impressive looking scythe. It had a black handle and the blades glowed an eerie blood-red.
The demon gulped, then with a confidence it really didn't feel, it taunted him again. "Whatcha got there Farmer John?"
"In a move that no one but Sakura saw, Shinigami charge forward and plunged his blade deep into the gut of the monster. Its face twisted in pain and agony while the God twisted the blade a bit. He extracted the blade and it now had a dark, writhing energy on it. It was the demon's black soul. The demon watched in horror as Shinigami sent a blast of energy through the soul, destroying it. The demon made one final scream before disintegrating.
Everyone was watching with morbid fascination as they saw this exchange. They couldn't believe what had just happened, except for Sakura, that is. She had sensed his dark aura in her dream. She had been hoping that it wasn't prophetic, but she now realized that she would be meeting this God in a more personal setting in the future. She wasn't very keen on the idea.
Shinigami simply gripped the scythe as it returned to its compact form. He then put the scythe away and turned toward the gang, namely Sakura. He slowly walked toward the girl. Syaoran tried to run and block him, but he suddenly found himself completely unable to move. Eriol was in a similar situation.
The god stopped in front of the girl, bent over and whispered in her ear, "we shall meet again, Sakura-sama." For some reason, the voice seemed warmer than before, almost kind, but she still shuddered. The god turned around and took flight, disappearing into the shadows of pre-dawn. Only then were the two boys released.
"What did he tell you?" Syairan asked, concerned.
"H-h-he told me t-t-that we'd meet a-again," she stuttered out before collapsing. Eriol nodded to Syaoran and the auburn-haired boy picked up the sleeping girl and took her home.
Kinomoto Household
Sakura was now safely in her bed. She slept normally for a while, but soon became fitful as another dream invaded her mind.
Sakura's Dream
She awoke to the sound of rustling. Having her own set of temporary wings, she knew the sound quite well. She walked to the window and opened it, seeing a figure start to fly away.
"Yue!" she yelled. That was the only person she knew who had a pair of white, feathered wings.
The figure turned, almost startled. She took a look at his face. The only feature she could distinguish was a pair of green eyes staring back at her.
"Green....?"
Kinomoto Household
"Sakura! Wake up! Yoohoo! I'm hungry so wake up!"
"Alright Kero, I'm up" the hungry guardian's mistress said drowsily. "I'll start some breakfast in a few minutes."
"You'd better start on lunch too!"
"Nani?"
"Sakura, it's past noon, you've been sleeping ever since the gaki brought you home." He then added under his breath, "and I've been going hungry..."
"Kero, I've been having some really odd dreams lately."
"Really?"
"Yeah. In fact, I dreamt about Shinigami the night before he showed up."
"This could be bad..."
Tomoyo's House
Sakura has told Tomoyo about the dreams. Tomoyo agreed with Kero that she needs to keep an eye out. Tomoyo also yelled at them for not calling her so that she could tape her kawaii Sakura. Kero and Sakura (yep, you guessed it!) sweatdropped.
"Oh yeah, I also invited Robbie over for lunch, and dinner if he isn't busy." Tomoyo giggled. She and Sakura had already made plans to have lunch and dinner together that night.
"I thought we had plans." Sakura said, somewhat confused.
"We do, I'm just including Rob now." She giggled again.
"Uh, ok." Sakura didn't quite understand why Tomoyo was being so giggly today, but dismissed it.
Tomoyo saw the way that Rob looked at Sakura. She suspected that he may even have a crush on her. Syaoran had been acting really odd lately. (ain't that the truth) Tomoyo was worried that he may drift away from Sakura, so she was implementing a few contigency plans (is it just me, or does Tomoyo sound military right now?) just in case.
"He can also judge some of my new dresses for you Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo's eyes went starry just from thinking about kawaii Sakura in her kawaii dresses. Sakura sweatdropped.
"Sometimes you scare me Tomoyo." Sakura commented while her eyes still had stars in them.
"Ding Dong..." The doorbell rang. "Ding dong..." it rang again. "Ding ding ding, ding ding din din ding ding ding ding ding ding. Ding dong, ding ding..."
"WHAT DO YOU WANT!" A very angry servant yelled at the person at the door.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just noticed that the doorbell had perfect pitch and uh...." the boy tried to explain.
Calming down considerably, the servant continued, "Do you have business here, sir?" The last formality had an edge to it. The boy just ignored it.
"Yes, I'm here to see Ms. Daidouji and Ms. Kinomoto."
"And your name, sir?"
"I'm Robbie, Robbie Foster."
"Yes, I was told that you would stop by. Do you have any proof of your identity?"
"Yes, and there they are. Hey Tomoyo! Hi Sakura!"
"Huh? What?" The servant said as he turned around to face his employer's daughter and her best friend.
"Oh, high Rob!" Sakura called.
"John, have you been giving my buddy trouble?" Tomoyo asked the servant.
"Uh, um, yes, I mean no, uh, er..." John stuttered.
"Oh no, of course not Tomoyo. We were just talking about how cool your doorbell is." Rob answered, giving John a look that said, "you owe me."
"Ok then! Rob, we've set up something special for you upstairs!" Tomoyo said, dashing up the stairs.
"Should I be worried?" he asked Sakura.
"Worried? No. Be afraid, be VERY afraid." she informed him.
"Don't worry I am." He held out his palm to show her that it was quivering. They both laughed and headed for Tomoyo's room upstairs.
"Nifty! I didn't know that I'd get a fashion show!" Rob said as Sakura came out in her second outfit. This was an evening gown made of fine, pink silk with white trim. it have a plunging back and a high leg slit with cherry blossems embroidered along the seams. It gave her a classy, yet sexy look.
The next dress was a short black number that was VERY form-fitting. Rob couldn't help but drool a little bit, though he kept it hidden. Well, at least it was hidden from Sakura. Tomoyo noticed it and she confirmed her hunch that he had a crush on her. A normal guy wouldn't have had the presence of mind to hide the drool. This dress had a short skirt with a slit, but had a panty-lining to keep it from riding up too far. There was also sheer mesh halfway down her back. As Sakura went into the closet to try on another dress, she left the door open. She bent over to grab another dress, giving Rob a nice view, before he kicked the door closed.
"Dang she's hot," Rob mumbled to himself, forgetting that Tomoyo was in the room.
"Yep, she sure is. I think she likes you, too." Tomoyo giggled out the last part.
Snapping out of his trance, he blushed at her comment. "Itai...." he heard a muffled cry then a thud. "I'm alright!" he heard right afterward.
"Well, I said she was hot, not graceful." Tomoyo nodded sadly. "So, if I'm not insulting you by asking, how many more do we have to go through?" Not that he was bored or in a hurry, he was just worried that a few more sexy dresses like that and he wouldn't be able to stop from jumping on her. (No, I did not mean that in a purely sexual manner, he's too sweet and pure to even think about it that way.)
"There's only ten more," he started to worry about containing himself, "but only three of them are that sexy." He let out a sigh of relief. He might be able to keep his honor and dignity after all.
Just then Sakura came out wearing a beautiful pink three-piece suit. It looked all business-like but it accented her cute-ness. (I must like hyphens a lot.) Tomoyo had done a great job with this one. Sakura dropped the jacket to reveal that the blouse had no sleeves. It was a modern, yet classic. All-in-all it was quite nice.
Just before Sakura went in to change, after several of Rob's compliments, Tomoyo whispered something to her. Sakura giggled and went to change. Rob gave Tomoyo a quizzical glance, but she only giggled.
Seven more dresses were showcased. There was a nice summer dress with cherry blossems. There were two battle gis, which almost surprised Rob. There were another two evening gowns which were stunning. One was in dark red while the other was a very pale pink with red accents. The next two required about 20 minutes to get ready with Tomoyo's help. Sakura walked out in a traditional Geisha outfit, make-up and even a nice wig. Sakura walked in quietlyand bowed on her knees to Rob. He was stunned, but he knew that she was simply acting like a traditional Geisha, which acted subserviant for their employers. She showed a red and a dark green kimono.
"Now here comes the part that you'll hate me for," Tomoyo said in a cryptic manner. Rob gave her an odd look, but Tomoyo only motioned toward the closet door. Rob braced himself and waited.
Sakura stepped from the closet looking absolutely stunning, and sexy. She was wearing a black leather corset top with matching velvet choker. She also had on a short mini-skirt and knee length boots. A pair of fishnet stockings covered her legs and behind her was a flowing black cape with a dark pink inner lining. Rob wasn't entirely sure what to think of this one until Sakura smiled, showing her fangs. His expression of shock disappeared as he realized that she was a hot vampire.
Sakura slowly swished up to Rob and leaned down on him, smiling with her blood-red lips and pale skin. "You like?" she asked innocently.
"Let's just say that I want to be bitten," he grabbed her belt and pulled her closer and whispered, "you want a taste?"
She drew back and smiled at him evilly. She leaned in close to his and let her fangs drag lightly over his neck. She let her warm breath caress his skin before disappearing into the closet again.
Tomoyo was in a state of shock, as was Rob. "She has NEVER done anything remotely that forward or sexual!" Tomoyo explained.
"She was playing a part, I guess," he then looked to her and smiled," and what were you thinking when you designed that outfit?"
Tomoyo blushed noticably. "I told her to save those for last and then to tease you a little, but I never expected that."
"I can't wait to see the next two..." he stated as he heard the door knob turn.
Now here was a radical change. She walked out wearing a pure white dress. It wasn't special, but that was what made it great. It's simplicity and the way it hugged her curves made it sexy. In fact, it covered up more skin than the clothes she was wearing when he first got there. The dress was accented with pale pink trim and white stockings and shoes. She politely curtsied to Rob, then twirled for him. He was impressed. He complimented her as she went back in.
"Now for the grand finale!" Tomoyo squealed. Robbie took a deep breath and waited for what would come through that door. He was a little puzzled when Tomoyo dimmed the lights and put on slow music.
Sakura stepped out and she was breath taking. She wore a long, dark pink dress with a high leg slit and another plunging back. It was also sleeveless, but she wore elbow-length matching gloves. She had on a wig (she only had 10 minutes to change, what did you expect?) done in a simple, but sexy style. The dress also hugged her curves and made a soft swishing sound. Her high heels clicked as she approached.
She curtsied and held out a hand. Rob quickly stood then, taking her hand, he kissed it lightly while he bowed. They hadn't noticed that Tomoyo had broken out the tripod and that she's been taping the whole thing.
"Would milady be kind enough to grant me the honor of a dance?" Rob asked politely.
"Surely, kind sir. I would be grateful to dance with thee." He stood and led her to the center of the large room. Once there, he held her around her waist as she put her arms around his neck. They danced slowly in time to the music, holding each other tightly.
"I think this'll make a great home movie," he chuckled, "or at least your friend thinks so."
She sighed, "that's classic Tomoyo for you but," she gazed up at him, "let's forget that the camera or Tomoyo are here."
He smiled and drew her closer. "Sure thing..." She leaned her head against his chest and closed her eyes. She felt content there, in his arms. She said that this was wrong, that she was only supposed to feel this way with Syaoran, but she couldn't help it. Syaoran has also been acting strangely ever since he came back. She looked up when she heard him take off his glasses (oops, I forgot to mention that he wears classes).
He took off his glasses and placed them in his pocket. He figured that he really didn't need to see as long as he felt this angel in his arms. He felt her turn to look at him, and looked down to meet her gaze. Her's was a face of contentment, then a flash of surprise before becoming content again. She set her back on his chest before shaking her head to clear a thought. He just held her closer, not understanding what had happened. He only heard her say to herself, "green...?"
Fin Chapter Three
What the frell is going on? Aren't Sakura and Syaoran supposed to be together? Who do I think I am? hehe! Well, the plots thickens, ne? Well, we'll just have to see where all of this goes. Don't worry, Sakura won't completely fall for Rob anytime soon. Maybe she won't at all. Maybe I'm rambling now? I can say for certain that only that last one is true. I am rambling. Oh, and you'll notice the absense of Starrie. She had problems with her internet connection, so I was forced to post this tonight without her. Oh well, she'll get over it, or not let me touch her for a week, one of the two. Oh well, bye!
Starrie: *glares* who wouldn't like the fact that you're flirting with Sakura!! the only one who's allowed to do that is kawaii Syaoran!!!
I'm sorry, that's my friend Starrie, she'll pop in from time to time to annoy me.
Starrie: *pinches him* hey...I'M annoying??? *glares at him some more and then turns to readers and smiles sweetly*

Starrie: *ignores him* konnichiwa everyone! for those of you who know who I am, hizies!! and for those who don't...err...hizies!! *sweatdrop*
*pushes her off a cliff* don't worry, she has wings. I just need to start the story.
Starrie: *pops back up, flying in the air* well, like HE *glares* said, on with the story!!! *pushes him into the nearest lake and flies away as fast as she can*
*mumbles* I'm a god for cryin' out loud, I shouldn't have to deal this...
Chapter Three
Kinomoto Household
Sakura woke with a start, with sweat beading on her forhead. That was an odd dream. She hoped that it didn't mean that she would die soon. Kero flew to her mistress.
"Sakura! I sense an evil power in Penguin park! Syaoran and Eriol are already on their way!" he told her.

"Now here comes the part that you'll hate me for," Tomoyo said in a cryptic manner. Rob gave her an odd look, but Tomoyo only motioned toward the closet door. Rob braced himself and waited.
Sakura stepped from the closet looking absolutely stunning, and sexy. She was wearing a black leather corset top with matching velvet choker. She also had on a short mini-skirt and knee length boots. A pair of fishnet stockings covered her legs and behind her was a flowing black cape with a dark pink inner lining. Rob wasn't entirely sure what to think of this one until Sakura smiled, showing her fangs. His expression of shock disappeared as he realized that she was a hot vampire.
Sakura slowly swished up to Rob and leaned down on him, smiling with her blood-red lips and pale skin. "You like?" she asked innocently.
"Let's just say that I want to be bitten," he grabbed her belt and pulled her closer and whispered, "you want a taste?"
She drew back and smiled at him evilly. She leaned in close to his and let her fangs drag lightly over his neck. She let her warm breath caress his skin before disappearing into the closet again.
Tomoyo was in a state of shock, as was Rob. "She has NEVER done anything remotely that forward or sexual!" Tomoyo explained.
"She was playing a part, I guess," he then looked to her and smiled," and what were you thinking when you designed that outfit?"
Tomoyo blushed noticably. "I told her to save those for last and then to tease you a little, but I never expected that."
"I can't wait to see the next two..." he stated as he heard the door knob turn.
Now here was a radical change. She walked out wearing a pure white dress. It wasn't special, but that was what made it great. It's simplicity and the way it hugged her curves made it sexy. In fact, it covered up more skin than the clothes she was wearing when he first got there. The dress was accented with pale pink trim and white stockings and shoes. She politely curtsied to Rob, then twirled for him. He was impressed. He complimented her as she went back in.
"Now for the grand finale!" Tomoyo squealed. Robbie took a deep breath and waited for what would come through that door. He was a little puzzled when Tomoyo dimmed the lights and put on slow music.
Sakura stepped out and she was breath taking. She wore a long, dark pink dress with a high leg slit and another plunging back. It was also sleeveless, but she wore elbow-length matching gloves. She had on a wig (she only had 10 minutes to change, what did you expect?) done in a simple, but sexy style. The dress also hugged her curves and made a soft swishing sound. Her high heels clicked as she approached.
She curtsied and held out a hand. Rob quickly stood then, taking her hand, he kissed it lightly while he bowed. They hadn't noticed that Tomoyo had broken out the tripod and that she's been taping the whole thing.
"Would milady be kind enough to grant me the honor of a dance?" Rob asked politely.
"Surely, kind sir. I would be grateful to dance with thee." He stood and led her to the center of the large room. Once there, he held her around her waist as she put her arms around his neck. They danced slowly in time to the music, holding each other tightly.
"I think this'll make a great home movie," he chuckled, "or at least your friend thinks so."
She sighed, "that's classic Tomoyo for you but," she gazed up at him, "let's forget that the camera or Tomoyo are here."
He smiled and drew her closer. "Sure thing..." She leaned her head against his chest and closed her eyes. She felt content there, in his arms. She said that this was wrong, that she was only supposed to feel this way with Syaoran, but she couldn't help it. Syaoran has also been acting strangely ever since he came back. She looked up when she heard him take off his glasses (oops, I forgot to mention that he wears classes).
He took off his glasses and placed them in his pocket. He figured that he really didn't need to see as long as he felt this angel in his arms. He felt her turn to look at him, and looked down to meet her gaze. Her's was a face of contentment, then a flash of surprise before becoming content again. She set her back on his chest before shaking her head to clear a thought. He just held her closer, not understanding what had happened. He only heard her say to herself, "green...?"
Fin Chapter Three
What the frell is going on? Aren't Sakura and Syaoran supposed to be together? Who do I think I am? hehe! Well, the plots thickens, ne? Well, we'll just have to see where all of this goes. Don't worry, Sakura won't completely fall for Rob anytime soon. Maybe she won't at all. Maybe I'm rambling now? I can say for certain that only that last one is true. I am rambling. Oh, and you'll notice the absense of Starrie. She had problems with her internet connection, so I was forced to post this tonight without her. Oh well, she'll get over it, or not let me touch her for a week, one of the two. Oh well, bye!
