Cardcaptor Sakura

Title: Christmas Angels

Chapter 3- Questions and Greetings

That night as Sakura slept peacefully she started to dream. She dreamt she was walking slowly through Penguin Park. The snow was falling gently down from the tranquil night sky, that shone brightly from the bright glow of the stars. The moon also shone brightly that night illuminating the snow as it fell. As she walked Sakura felt as if she were in some kind of fairytale land, nothing could possibly ruin this moment. The she spotted it. Sitting near the truck of a Sakura tree a shadowed figure sat quietly, watching her. Thought she couldn't see the figure clearly she sensed something that felt oddly familiar to her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it…………….

"SAKURA" Kero yelled at the top of his lungs. "HOE!" Sakura yelped in surprise falling out of her bed onto the floor. "KE-RO!" she cried "What's up with scaring me like that?". "Well Sakura-chan if you want to be late for school again, your certainly going the right way about it" he replied smirking as he watched her facial expression turn from one of pure annoyance to pure panic. Sakura glanced over at her alarm clock, "Ahhh!" she cried again frantically jumping up and scrambling to put on her uniform. Then rushing to the bathroom she somehow managed to brush her teeth and put her hair up into the cute little Sakura pigtails like she did everyday. "Bye Kero-chan" she called running downstairs, basically tripping face-first into the front door, while trying to put her roller blades on and open the door at once.

Zooming down the sidewalk, careful not to slip on any icy patches Sakura began to think about her dream, how peaceful everything had seemed and the mysterious shadowed figure. Forgetting to keep her eyes on the sidewalk, she dazed off not checking to see what lay ahead anymore. Suddenly her wheel skidded, then slid on a stray patch. "HOE!" she shouted surprised falling backwards, but before she could hit the hard, cold ground someone caught her hand. Helping pull herself back up, Sakura brushed herself off. "Arigatou" she said, not even looking up. "You should be more careful" the person said "you could break your neck wearing those things during the slippery winter". Sakura suddenly froze recognizing the strangers voice. Slowly she peered up at the person, and Sakura's eyelids emerald eyes jolted open. "Syaoran" she whispered, before slipping on the same patch of ice as before. "Ow" she muttered rubbing her back, ice and roller blade's definitely don't mix. Glancing up again Sakura saw Syaoran extend a hand to help her up. "Thanks again" she said smiling, taking it.

"So…." Sakura piped up when they had begun walking or in Sakura's case rolling to school "Syaoran, what brings you back to Japan?". Not eben taking his gaze from the frozen ground he replied "I'll explain everything later Sakura, let's just hurry and get to school, we only have 2 more minutes left until the bell rings". "HOE!" Sakura cried and together they began to hurry down the sidewalk. So many questions swam through Sakura's head at that moment that it almost made her dizzy. Why had Syaoran come back? What did her dream mean? Who had sent that strange poem verse and what did it mean? Should she sing with Tomoyo-chan this Saturday night at the Winter Concert? Why was all of this happening now? But the sound of the school bell ringing snapped her out of it. Her and Syaoran sped around the last corner and through the school's doors. "Oh well" she thought. All those questions would just have to wait because right now she had just one question that concerned her……would she get to class on time?
