~*Chapter 3*~
~*The Day Before the Party*~

Sakura dashed upstairs to her room with her dinner in one hand and Kero's desert in another. She opened the door to her bedroom and walked in.

"Hey Sakura!" he waved to her and put down his videogame. "Don't drop my pudding!"

"I won't don't worry!" she placed the meal on the ground and hopped into the computer chair. She clicked into AIM, and there on the screen showed that both Syaoran and Eriol were on, but both on away messages.

'Wonder what they say' she thought and clicked on Syaoran's.

His read: Are you gullible? Well send $1000 to...

And Eriol's Read: Sleeping... Well maybe not but why do you care?

'Typical' she thought. She knew that they were both sitting at the screen waiting so she put up a message.

It read: Eating dinner... Prepping for parties... doing whatever arises...

She shook her head and signed off. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve and every year Sakura's maternal family comes up and spends time with them and her paternal family. She hated it. She was the youngest of all her cousins, and every time they came up, they went threw her things, even her diary.

Sakura yawned and took a look at the clock at the clock. It was only 7:30pm, but she was extremely tired. She flopped down on her bed and closed her eyes. Before she knew it, she was asleep.

~*The Next Day*~

"Wow Sakura! I never knew that your boyfriend actually agreed to fake having a fight with you!" Airen, Sakura's 15-year-old cousin commented.

"Wha?" Sakura rubbed her eyes and looked over to where the voice was coming from. "AIREN! DON'T READ THAT!!!" She hopped out of bed and grabbed her diary from the teenager.

"Well your luckier then last year. This year I only found out 2 dark secrets!" Airen exclaimed knocking her long brunette hair out of her hazel eyes.

"And what would that be?" she threw her diary under her bed and placed her hands on her hips.

"Well for the fact that you got your 'ladies days' right in the middle of a HUGE exam and that your boyfriend got his 'you know what' about you."

Sakura turned 20 shades of red. She couldn't believe that she actually wrote those things down.

"Airen! Come down here! Your uncle has something to say to us!" Airen's father exclaimed.

"Okay Dad!" she got up from the chair and dashed downstairs. Sakura slammed the door and locked, but just in case her dad had something interesting to say, she decided to eaves drop.

"Sakura... doctor... blood test... leukemia... death... Christmas..." That's all Sakura managed to get out. She had a feeling her dad called the doctor's office earlier on.

"Is it safe to come out now?" Kero popped his head out of the drawer.

"Yes, yes Kero-chan," she smiled and opened her closet. "It's Christmas Eve you know! Tomorrow is Tomoyo-chan's party."

"But isn't that your earliest death date?" he flew over to her.

"Well yeah, but I guess I've come to that point where I've excepted the fact that I'm dying."

Kero shook his head, 'No she's not. That doctor's a fraud. Clow Reed is NEVER wrong.' "So who's going to this party?" He said instead.

"It'll just be me, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol."

"Think it'll end up like that couple's bowling party?"

"Hopefully not." Sakura changed into new clothes and smiled remembering that bowling party.

"Didn't you drop a bowling ball on your foot?" he flew around her.

"No. Tomoyo dropped one on Eriol's foot," she chuckled. "That was hilarious."

Kero sighed, "I'm sure it was."

"So anyway. I'm going to go downstairs. Is there anything you want?" she asked him.

"Nope."

"Alright then," she walked downstairs slowly and poked her head into the family room. It was like every year, the adults talking to each other and her cousins, well her cousins...

"Hey Sakura! I had the greatest idea!" Airen ran up to her, dragging another cousin named Itto. "Why don't you invite your boyfriend over before you croak!"

"I'm going to a party tomorrow; I'll see him there," she replied as she walked into the kitchen.

"Well me or Itto haven't met him," she bugged her. "Fine! If you won't invite him, then let's go up into your room and you can tell us about him."

"Why the heck would you want to know what my boyfriend is like?" Sakura opened the refrigerator and got out the milk.

"No reason," Airen lied.

"She just wants to know if he's a good kisser, so when you expire she can go out with him," Itto told her.

She glared at Airen, "My Syaoran-kun would *never*go out with anyone else but *me*!"

"But what happens when you die?" she leered.

"You tired this on me once when I was 12 and one year isn't going to make any difference!" she poured the milk into a small glass and placed the container back into the fridge.

"What's going on in here?" a 19-year-old girl walked in. "Airen, are you trying to trick Sakura again?"

"Of course not Malina!" she backed away from the eldest cousin.

Sakura grinned. There was always one thing good about being the baby of the family. That was the protection she got whenever she was being taunted or teased.

Malina sighed. "All right little horror girl I'll believe you this time."

Airen smiled. "Do you think you could drive me to the mall sometime?"

"Still dream chic," she walked out of the room.

Sakura grabbed her milk and went back upstairs. She opened the door to her room and placed the milk on her end table.

"So what happened?" Kero turned off the video game.

"Nothing really," she yawned and turned on her side. "Same thing that happens every year."

"You know you just woke up 20 minutes ago."

"True, very true."

"Why are you going back to sleep then?"

"I haven't been feeling myself lately. Maybe a few more hours of sleep will help."

Sakura quickly feel asleep after that. Kero watched her and thought to himself. 'Maybe it is her time?'
