A Troublesome Child By: sakuraflowergal

After refreshing themselves, Syaoran invited the gang into his room. He wanted to explain what his mother said just now.

"The Li Clan is a big organization. To the others, it is a big company run by the Li Family. But in actual fact, Li Clan is formed by sorcerers from the Li Family. Each member in the family who has the powers is ranked. My Uncle has one of the higher ranks in the Clan. He has the veto power to all decisions made in the Clan. Because of that, he always has a stern look on his face. Many people were afraid of him. His magical abilities specialize in time travel. My mother feels that it would help if he could come. He knows more about Time Travel better than anyone does. He is very strict about how people should behave. He expects people to bow and greet him Sir. Any rule breaking and punishment would be administered. This is why Mother warns you about him." Syaoran explains.

"He sounds scary." Sakura commented.

"If he is so bad, why would he help us?" Kero asked with Ying Yuan nodding her head in agreement.

"He is not bad. He is just strict and stern. And he knows how bad things can turn out when a person gets into the wrong time." Syaoran said.

Just then, a servant comes in and announced dinnertime. The six of them went to the dinning room for dinner while Suppi and Kero hide in Syaoran's room.

"Why didn't the other two guests join us?" Yelen asked.

"Huh? There is only me, Tomoyo, Ying Yuan, Eriol and Nakuru." Sakura said.

"You have other guests, Mother?" Syaoran asked.

"Cerberus and a similar creature were with you, isn't it?" Yelen said.

"You mean Kero and Suppi? I didn't know that you know about them." Ying Yuan said.

"I can feel their aura. Wei, why don't you invite them down." Yelen said.

"Yes, Madam." Wei said and went out of the dinning room.

Within moments, Kero and Suppi appeared at the door of the room.

"This is a family of magic. You don't have to hide yourselves. Please join us for dinner." Yelen said.

"Hooray! Where do I sit?" Kero cheered.

"Thank You. I can make do without dinner." Suppi rejected politely.

"What is with you? Being able to eat is the most fortunate thing that happened to me. Anyway, this isn't sweet at all. You have no reason to reject Mrs. Li's kind offer!" Kero said.

"I can live without food. Instead of doing something which I can do without, why do I read some books and increase my knowledge." Suppi argued.

"So you're saying I wasting my time?!" Kero shouted at Suppi angrily.

"Enough!" Yelen said.

The big dinning room immediately becomes very quiet. Everyone was staring at Yelen.

"There is no need to argue at such a small matter. Cerberus, your friend." Yelen started.

"Spinel Sun is the name." Suppi offered.

"Spinel Sun can choose not to eat. Food is not one of his ways of surviving. He has the right to make the decision. And I do not wish to see or hear such arguments while Syaoran's Uncle is here." Yelen said.

With that, Suppi left the room and Kero sat on an empty space beside Nakuru. The dinning room was very quiet during dinner. Other than the sound of utensils knocking onto each other, nothing could be heard. The gang finished dinner and quietly excuse themselves from the dinning room. They returned to their room and Sakura started her lecture.

"Cerberus!" Sakura started.

Kero knew that Sakura was going to start to scold him. She always use his real name when she is angry with him. Sure enough, Sakura lectured him about his fight for half an hour.

"If you dare let the same thing happen again, you will be going back to Japan." Sakura threatened.

Kero nodded in silence. Syaoran hint everyone to leave the room and hug Sakura.

"Was I very bad to Kero just now?" Sakura asked.

"You were angry." Syaoran said.

"I know I am bad to him. Being angry is no excuse. I wasn't like this before. What is happening to me?" Sakura asked as tears roll down her cheeks.

"You are just stressed. You want to be a good mistress to Kero and the Cards, a good sister to your brother, a good friend to Tomoyo and the others, a good mother to Ying Yuan, a good guest to my mother, and a good girlfriend to me. You are not a robot. You can't be perfect. Take a break, Sakura. Be yourself and you will feel better." Syaoran said as he hugged the crying Sakura tighter into his arms.
