"PHWEEEEEEEE!" The brunette girl shrieked when she saw her alarm clock, "KERO-CHAN! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP?"

"I'm sorry, Sakura-chan!" The small yellow creature, which looked like a stuffed toy with angel wings, wailed, as he fluttered around the room, watching his friend and mistress run crazy about. "I tried, I really tried!"

"KERO-chan, now I'm going to be late!" Sakura called from inside her closet as she yanked on her school uniform and grabbed her books. "I have practice to day, so I'll be home late!" She called running down to the kitchen. "Ohayo, O-tosan!"

"Ohayo, Sakura-chan." Her father greeted with a smile as he placed his daughter's breakfast in front of her.

"Arigato." She thanked him before inhaling her food, "I'm late!" She called throwing on her rollerblades and dashing out of the house. "I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" She complained, sailing around a tight corner and WHAM flat on her but. "OOOWWW!" She frowned, staring at the ground. "I'M SO SORRY! I wasn't watching where I was going!"

"I kinda figured, Sakura-chan." A kind voice smirked.

Sakura looked up. It was a tall boy about her age. He had brown hair and dark eyes. He looked familiar, "Syoaron-kun?" She asked, accepting the offered hand for help up.

"It's been a long time, Sakura-chan." The boy smiled.

"Syoaron-kun!" she exclaimed, "What are you doing here? I thought you were in Hong Kong."

"I talked my mother into allowing me to come back for school." Li, Syoaron explained. "I really missed you, Sakura-chan."

"Really?" the girl blinked, "I missed you too." She looked almost sad for a moment. Then she perked up and smiled warmly, "Oh! I can't believe you came back to Japan! Tomoyo-chan will be so surprised!"

Syoaron smiled, studying his friend that he hadn't seen in such along time. Her hair had gotten longer, and she had gotten taller. She filled out in all of the right places quite nicely.

"Syoaron? Are you okay? Your face is all red." Sakura's green eyes blinked at him. "Are you sick?"

Syoaron felt his flush deepened and he stared at the ground, 'She's still as clueless as ever.' He thought, aloud he stuttered out a response to her questions. "Uh.Iie, I'm not sick.I. uh. you've changed, Sakura."

The girl frowned, and held her books close to her chest, "Changed?" she repeated thoughtfully, "I.I suppose I have."

"OH HeY!" Li sputtered, waving his hands and silently cursing his redder face, "I didn't mean. I.I mean I- It's.It's been a long time!"

Sakura smiled her eyes closed as she nodded in agreement, "Hmmm, too long."

He could feel his heart thumping in his chest. She still had that influence over him. Her smiles still sent his heart racing. He found that around her, he was at a loss of words, so he simply returned the smile with one of his own.

"Oh!" Sakura cried, glancing at her watch. It was that red one that Yukito had given her several years ago. "WE"RE LATE! REALLY LATE!!"

"Well come on then!" Li grabbed her hand, "We can still make the bell if we hurry!" and together they made a mad dash for the high school.

Toya and Yukito were walking together towards the University where they attended, and Kinomoto-san lectured. They were unusually silent, especially the tall dark haired boy. Toya frowned slightly as he listened to the sounds of the city. Although everything seemed normal enough, he was getting a bad feeling from it.

"Toya, is something the matter?" Yukito asked, glancing at him with concern. Toya didn't answer, but instead hailed a taxi. "Toya, where are you going? What about our classes?"

"We are going to Tokyo Tower." The dark haired young man said grabbing his love's hand and pulling him into the car next to him. "Classes will just have to wait."

"Toya, what's wrong?" Yukito asked nervously, studying his koi's face. Toya had this glower etched onto his face and he was incredibly tense as the taxi ride seemed to take forever.

"I'm not sure." Was all the reply that he was willing to offer.

Yukito sighed, his silver blue eyes staring at the scenery as it sped by. Toya would tell him in due time. "I haven't been to Tokyo Tower in a long time." He mused.

Toya grunted a response, his mind too preoccupied with what he was sensing. It was dark and menacing, but it also felt familiar, at the same time as if that were even possible. It was almost like sensing."Yuki." Toya began, his voice a low whisper, "Does Yue-san sense anything?"

The silver haired boy closed his eyes momentarily. Opening them again, he looked confused. "He doesn't see how that's possible."

"Nani?"

Yukito's skin paled, "Toya, he doesn't see how that's possible." He repeated, his body began to tremble, and the boy hugged himself against some unknown threat, "T.Toya.?"

"Yuki, what is it?" Toya gripped his friend's shoulder tightly.

"I'm not sure." He whispered, "But the Tokyo Tower is defiantly where we need to go at the moment."

The dark haired boy nodded grimly.

The Taxi sped through the city streets.

They stood at the top of Tokyo Tower. No one was insight so at Toya's bidding, Yukito had transformed into the moon guardian, Yue.

"This is wrong." The tall creature, with long silver hair, and angel wings frowned. "It shouldn't feel like this."

"Do you know what it is?" Toya asked the mystical guardian.

"No." Yue's cold blue eyes narrowed. "But I do know that it will mean trouble for Sakura-sama."

"I get the feeling. I get the feeling that you're not telling me everything." Sakura's older brother said carefully, not wanting to accuse him of anything.

Yue glared slightly at the human. "You are correct; however, until I speak to Cerberus, I will keep it to myself."

Toya shrugged, "That is up to you, Yue-san, but mind this; you better not allow anything to happen to Yuki or my sister."

"Toya-san." The lunar guardian said in all seriousness, "I have given you my word before, I will protect Sakura-sama, for she is my mistress; and I will protect Yukito as it was part of our agreement when you transferred your powers over to me. I am not one to break my word."

Toya stifled a smirk. If he didn't know any better, he'd think that Yue was insulted by his lack of faith. "I know, Yue. but I can't help but worry. You hold the lives of the two most important people to me under your protection."

Yue's eyes studied the human for a moment. "I'm wondering." He began. "I feel another, familiar presence that I haven't sensed for over three years. Do you sense it as well?"

The human frowned and concentrated, his eyes scanning the city below. "That kid." he glared. "That kid's back."

"Li-san."

The human's frown deepened, "There's someone else too."

Yue didn't answer, but peered off in the distance, a distracted look upon his face.
