Author's Note: I have no idea where the title came from for this chapter….and I am not enjoying it very much…*sighs*…oh well. I know this is a short chapter…but I decided I need to post something up before I get killed. I also mentioned about Kero being out of character last chapter….thank you for TamChronin for telling me what's wrong with Kero! I knew it…he was being too polite to Sakura!! Hehe…I told you so…there was something wrong…This chapter has nothing much to it…I mean there's no evil in here!! Boring Chapter 2…
TamChornin: Yeah…I know…stupid honorifics…you're right…I don't know much about them…that's why I screw up…thanks for telling me though! About the too much conversations…well…I guess you're right…I'll try to balance descrption and conversation a little more…Don't worry…I'll make sure Takai grows a peronality…I'm sorry that you don't like S+S stories…but I hope you'll continue to review for the sake of the evilness in the story….
mariam: Thank you for reviewing!!! MoshiMoshiQueen: Thanks for the review. Just in case you want to know…I've read a lot of your stories though I didn't review…and I think they're great!! I'll review the next time when I read your stories…s.c.a.r.l.e.t: I don't think I answered your quesions the right way when I reviewed your song-fic…yes, it's going to be a S+S story…they're probably around 12 or 13…I'm making them older…so that's Grrade 7 I guess…. About their feelings…the sweet second movie never happened so Sakura knows Syaoron's feelings for her but she didn't admit anything yet…though they both know what she's really thinking…so yeah….thanks for reviewing again!!
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS…don't sue…I just spent my money on buying a Detective Conan movie…*hugs the DVD*…Don't take it away from me…I own only the evil Takai…anyone interested in owning him?
Creeping Danger
By Sakura Kinomoto
Chapter 2 Tests, Tests, and Tests
"I guess he's back for his revenge," Kero concluded.
Sakura nodded her head. "I see. So he wants the Clow Cards, now Sakura Cards?"
"Hai," replied Kero. "Since Master died, he could only get his revenge from you, the new Mistress of the Clow or Sakura Cards. You better be careful. I'll bet you that the 'Illusion' was just a test. He might come back to steal the cards again."
"So what do I do?"
"I'll teach you how to use your magic to create a barrier around the cards. You could try and use 'Shield' though I think it's too weak."
Sakura paused to think, "I'll use my magic. I don't want to risk it."
"Right. Come, I'll teach you the way."
~~**~~**~~**~~**~~
"Ma, you have to let me go back! Sakura needs me!"
"How do you know she needs your help?" asked Yelan as she looked at her son.
"I just know!"
Yelan shook her head. "Xiao Lang, Sakura has improved a lot since she turned all the Clow Cards to Sakura Cards. I'm sure she'll be fine on her own."
A frown appeared on Syaoran's face. "Ma, you don't know about anything. I know this time Sakura needs me. The magic is too much for her to handle on her own. I need to go and help her!"
Yelan sighed, "Very well, Xiao Lang. I will think about it. Now, go to your room. I'll talk to the Elders."
Syaoran started to walk away from his mother but then he turned back and said, "Xie xie." (A/N: I don't know how to spell the pronunciation of thank you in Chinese...it's a good try I guess...you get me though right?)

Sakura felt the spring wind blowing across her face as she rollerbladed home from school. What a beautiful day! Sakura smiled.
"Let's see," she thought. "It's my turn to cook tonight. What shall I make? How about fried meat cake? But then we don't have a lot of minced meat at home..."
Suddenly a cold wind blew past her and Sakura shivered. White little things started to fall from the sky. She looked up and saw that it was snow.
"Weird," Sakura thought. "Yuki (snow) in spring."
Thinking it's some weird weather, Sakura continued to rollerblade home. She looked around her and realizes that the snow was only falling down around her! That's not normal snow. It's magic!
Sakura immediately got out her key. "The key that contains powers of the star, reveal your true powers to me. Under our promise, Sakura commands you to unleash your powers now!" she chanted as the key turned into a wand. She took out a Sakura Card. "Firery! Destroy this snow storm!" (A/N: It's me again...Just want to say that I hate the English dub's chant..so I made up my own...it's not good either...but I just didn't want to use the dub's version...please forgive me!!)
Firery appeared and melted all the snow. Sakura smiled as Firery turned back into a card. Whatever Takai has in store for her, she's ready!
Sakura turned around to go back home. Just then a huge shadow hovered over her. She looked back and her eyes widened in shock. There stood a huge stone giant ready to attack her!
"Calling on the god of thunder and lightning!" (A/N: Hehe...*giggles nervously*...opps..there's goes my mind making things up again...forgive me!) A lightning bolt appeared on top of the giant and shattered it into thousand of pieces.
The girl stood in shock trying to absorb what just happen. A boy jumped off the wall beside her. He was wearing a traditional green clothes of Chinese culture and had slightly messy brown hair. "You okay?" the boy asked.
"Syaoran?"
Syaoran smiled. "That's me. You okay, Sakura-san?" he repeated.
Sakura blushed. "Oh...daijoubu. Why are you here, Syaoran-kun? I thought you went back to Hong Kong for good."
"I...I had a dream. I dreamt of someone threatening to hurt you and he was very powerful. So I thought I could come back to help you out. Did he appear to hurt you yet?" Syaoran asked. Sakura shook her head. "That's a relief."
"How are you, Syaoran-kun? Did Meiling-chan come back with you?"
Syaoran looked at her in confusion. Why the sudden change of topic? He answered her anyway, "I'm fine. No, Meiling didn't come with me. The elders didn't let her come with me. She's been begging like forever but the Elders won't let her. If I know her properly, she will come later no matter what."
Sakura laughed, "Oh, poor Meiling-chan. I miss her."
The bot smiled. "She misses you and Tomoyo-chan as well."
Then there was silence. Everything seems so awkward all of a sudden. Sakura blushed as she remembered Syaoran's confession of emotions to her. She should tell him... "Syaoran-kun, I...I want to tell you..."
"Sakura-chan!" A voice interrupted Sakura's words. Sakura looked around and saw Touya running towards her. "Where were you, Sakura?" Then he noticed Syaoran. "Gaki!"
Syaoran glared at Touya. Why did he have to come now? He wanted to listen to what Sakura had to say. Sakura looked at her oniichan and Syaoran. There's tons of tension between them and it was getting uncomfortable. Better break that tension. She tugged on Touya's arm. "Come on 'Nichan! Let's go home! I need to go home and make dinner." She tugged Touya's arm one more time. She sweatdropped...Stubborn people! "Oniichan!"
Touya finally stopped the glaring contest between him and Syaoran and turned around, walking away. Sakura apologized, "Gomen nasai, Syaoran-kun! I'll see you soon." Then she hurried after Touya.
Syaoran scowled. Stupid Touya! He wondered what was Sakura going to say to him...

Author's Note: I'm kind of losing touch for this story…so I welcome any suggestions for next chapter. It's very weird because right now I got the starting of the story…I got the ending already in my head…but where is the ever-so-exciting middle part??!! I'm very screwed it seems…It'll probably be a long time before I update again for this story…I really hope for some more reviews and suggestions for me…Actually…why don't I dedicate the next chapter to Takai..that might be a good idea…pure evilness will arise!! *laughs evilly*
