The Star of Death
A/N: I feel stupid. Chinese is not working with me. I probably know more Spanish than I do Chinese and that's a little pathetic X.X Oh BTW, in Chap 1 (my brother noticed this XD), line 1 it says: "You are sure it's coming?" Said deep voice. Okay, that's supposed to say 'Said a deep voice.' Yea I know it's a little thing, but I don't like even little mistakes. So, now you know.
Chapter 4: Kero Meets Syaoran
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kinomoto Family Residence~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura is lying on her belly on her bed reading a magazine with her feet kicking around in the air. Kero is playing some racing video game nearby and it's noisy. It's a nice Sunday mid-afternoon. Kero's little racing car in the game is in 1st place and he wins! He jumps around all happy-like cheering. After he's done he starts talking to Sakura.
"Sakura, have you noticed a strange aura lately? Feels like a magician," He asked as he flies over to her. "A somewhat familiar magician."
"Oh yea. There's this new kid at school. His name is Li Syaoran; he's a magician. A sorcerer to be precise. He's very powerful," Sakura answered.
"Li Syaoran?!" Kero exclaimed, "He's a descendant of Clow Reed! Of course he's powerful! Ah..that must be why I recognized his aura. What is someone like him doing in Tomoeda?"
"Oh yea..Kero-chan, I forgot to ask you something. What is the Star of Death? Li-kun mentioned it, and he said that's why his parents sent him here. But he wouldn't exactly tell me about it. Just that it's dangerous. Could it be that big white ball of light I saw in my dream?" Said Sakura.
"The Star of Death?! That's why Li Syaoran came here?!" Kero starts panicked raving. His eyes grow big and worried. Finally, he remembered Sakura was still in the room and answered her. "A long time ago, a guy named Nakron swore revenge on Earth because some powerful magicians from here destroyed his home planet and everything he owned. He has spent thousands and thousands of years preparing a HUGE energy star that he was planning to send here at the right time." Kero paused once more. "It's said that it will destroy us all. It is likely that what you saw was the Star of Death."
"WHAT?!" Sakura practically screamed. "You mean that huge ball of light is coming here? To kill us all? We've got to do something!" She grabbed her jacket, straps on her roller blades, and headed out.
Kero zoomed over to her. "Where are you going? You can't stop it! You don't even know how!"
"I'm going over to Li-kun's house. If he was sent here to stop the star then he must know how to save everyone. Maybe he'll tell me and I can help somehow."
"Sakura let me come with you!" He dives into her hair and remains there for the ride.

Sakura and Kero have arrived at his front door. She knocks and Syaoran answers.
He smiled as he opened the door. "Ah Kinomoto-san, nice to see you again. I see you've taken the liberty to knock this time." He teased.
She blushed. "When are you ever going to forget that? Anyway can I come in?"
He laughed and said, "Okay, I'm sorry. Sure, come on in."
She walks into his house while Kero peeks out from her hair at the surroundings. It's very mysterious and eerie-looking, rather fitting for a magician that comes from a line of such skilled magicians. There were many things that he assumed were magical and ritual items hanging on the walls.
"So why are have you decided to visit me again? And why is your friend Tomoyo not here?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura's eyes grew wide. "Oh Tomoyo! I forgot to tell her; I was in such a rush to get here. Oh well, I'll tell her tomorrow. I came here to ask about the Star of Death. Kero- chan told a little bit about it. I was wondering if I could ask you about it."
"Kero-chan?" Syaoran looks confused. "You mean Cerberus, Guardian of the Clow Cards?"
Kero jumped out of Sakura's hair. "That's me!"
"This little stuffed animal is Cerberus?" said Syaoran skeptically.
Kero looked furious. "Who are you calling stuffed animal, brat!" They glare at each other for a few moments. Eventually Sakura yells at Kero and he flies back to her shoulder.
Syaoran turns his gaze back to Sakura and said, "So what is it that you wanted to ask me?"
"Well..Kero-chan said that the star is going to destroy everyone. And you said that's the reason your parents sent you here. So does that mean you know how to stop it?" she asked.
He paused for a while before answered. Finally he said, "Yes, I do know how to stop it."
"How?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't know if I should give you that information."
"Oh I won't tell anyone except Tomoyo." She pleaded. "Besides, I want to help! Surely you can't stop that huge thing by yourself?"
"It's just not a good idea to tell anyone in case it gets out. Even if you don't tell anyone, things like this just tend to spread. I'm not stopping it by myself; lots of magicians around the world are preparing for it, select powerful ones of course. I'm not really sure if there's anything you can do anyway." He said.
Sakura looked a little angry. "It's not like I can't do some powerful magic. I have Kero-chan here to guide me. Plus, I really want to help you! I am not going to just stand idly by and watch the Earth get destroyed!"
"It won't be destroyed. I and other magicians will make sure of that." Syaoran sighed. "Look, it's not that I don't think you can help. But this task is dangerous, and I wouldn't want you or Tomoyo to get hurt."
A/N: Hey, my longest chapter ever! So what'd ya think? Aww Syaoran's trying to protect her, how sweet ^_^
