NOTE: I don't own Card Captor Sakura, or its' characters, I'm just a fan. Many thanks to CLAMP for creating such a wonderful story ^_______^!


"I'll come back!"

"When?"

"It may take some time. Will you wait for me?"

"Yes!"

A chestnut-coloured hair girl smiled, tears in her eyes. She would wait for him. She knew he'd come back, no matter what. And when he did, they could finally be together. This was only a temporary parting. They would see each other again in no time, she consoled herself.
Admist feelings of sadness and happiness, the girl waved goodbye to the boy on the coach and watched him disappear into the horizon.

"Sakura!"

"Nnhh?"

"Ne, Sakura!!"

"Mmmmhh.. ten more minutes…"

"SA-KU-RA!!!" a stuffed-bear with wings yelled as he lifted up Sakura's pillow, staring crossly at her face.

"Hoeeeééh!!!" Sakura screamed, falling off the bed, entangled in her sheets.

The stuffed-bear peered at her curiously, "Are you okay?"

"Kero-chan!! What's the big idea, stuffing your face into mine so early in the morning?!" Sakura groaned and tried detangling herself from the mess. "It's almost 10! That's not very early," Kero pointed to the clock. "Hoé? 10 already? Feels like six.." Sakura yawned and stood up. "You sounded like you were having a good dream.. what's it about huh? Tell me, tell me! …Does it involve any SWEETS??" he sighed with heart-shaped eyes.

Sakura blushed, remembering bits and pieces of her dream. "Umm.. is everyone up?" changing the subject. "Your dad's out, but I think your brother's downstairs.." "Oh? I thought he's going to work?" "Don't know about that, but he's with Yue." "Yukito-san is here?!" Sakura jumped, knocking Kero-chan into a pile of clothes. "Mmrphf!!"

Yukito looked at his friend, grinning. "You look so cute." Touya turned his head sharply, frowning "Hey, watch it." Yukito couldn't help smiling in response. Touya was dressed up as an ice-cream, looking highly uncomfortable. "Why do I keep getting into these things.." Touya sighed, as his friend double-checked the costume. "We both know you have a soft heart for charity.. besides, I think you look really delicious.." Yukito winked. "Yuki!"

"Ohayo!" Sakura greeted as she breezed into the kitchen. "Ohayo, Sakura-chan. You're running up a little late today!" Yukito smiled. "That's understandable for a kaijin. She must've stayed up, flattening poor civilians in the streets again late last night.." Touya shook his head. "I did NOT! And KAIJIN wa JANAI!!" Sakura retorted.

"Touya.. don't tease her!"

"Yeah, oni-chan!! …At least I'm not the one who has to parade around as a strawberry-flavoured ice-cream over the weekend…" Sakura smirked. Touya turned red, and kept quiet, causing his friend and sister to both laugh out loud.

"Anyway, Yukito-san what brings you here? I thought oni-chan was supposed to meet you at the arena?" Sakura asked as she fixed herself a bowl of cereal. "Ahh…" Yukito glanced at Touya. "Well, uhhh.. we had some stuff to do before that, so I invited Yuki over," Touya coughed.

"Hoéh? Oni-chan, why are you turning red again?"

"No I'm not!"

Sakura raised an eyebrow, looking at Yukito and Touya suspiciously.

"Kero-chan! I'm going to go see Tomoyo now.. you stay at home okay?" Sakura called out as she put on her shoes. "Tomoyo? Where are you going?? Are you gonna have cake???" Kero flew down, drooling. Sakura looked at her guardian crossly, "IIE! We're going to the arena to check our class' booth. I told you last night, remember?" "Oh. It's just going to be a games' booth this year, right?" Kero hung his head, disappointed.

"Y-E-S. I certainly don't want you to come flying around eating all our sweets like the last time!"

"I didn't do it!! It was Suppi!!"

"Spinel-san would never do such a thing," Sakura huffed disbelievingly.

"He DID too!!"

"Stay HOME."

"But! But!"

Sakura closed the door shut, leaving Kero protesting to himself.

"Why doesn't she believe me?! Of all the nerve! Trusting that black cat instead of me!!" Kero sulked, looking around the empty house. "I need something to cheer me up.. hmm… what's that I smell?" he flew into the kitchen. "Hora!! KEKU!!" Kero squealed in delight as he saw a big chocolate cake on the table. "Ara? How come Sakura never mentioned anything about it?" Kero looked around the kitchen, half-expecting it to answer. "Maybe she doesn't want me to eat it…" Kero wondered, inching away from the cake.

"But! She didn't mention anything about it, so maybe she didn't know? …And why shouldn't I eat it?! She didn't trust me when I told her Suppi was the one who ate all the sweets! I should just eat it to make her feel bad! There's also no one here, anyway!" Kero argued with himself. "Or… maybe she felt bad about leaving me here and baked one for me earlier! Yes, yes, that must be it!" Kero reasoned and walked back towards the cake. "Mmmm~ This cake must be at least 6 pounds!! ITADAKIMASU!!!" Kero plunged himself into the cake.

However, with all the excitement, Kero failed to notice something.

At that very minute, there was a very observant figure outside the Kinomoto home. It watched the guardian's every move, and smirked when he gobbled the cake in record time. "My, my… Some things never change, do they?" it whispered, disappearing.
