~* Story *~

Hong Kong ~*~*~*~*~

After hearing voices from the front door, Tomoyo and others got up to see what was wrong. Upon coming through the den they saw Mei Lin hugging an amazingly healthy Sakura. Syaoran was standing to the side. Then Mei Lin turned to Syaoran and threatened him. Everyone winced at the tone of voice she was using.

~Tomoyo~

After seeing Mei Lin threaten the poor guy the apparently saved Sakura's life she decided it was time to step in.

"Mei Lin!" Tomoyo hissed, as she walked over to where she was standing. " We should be thanking him for SAVING SAKURA"S LIFE, not making threats." Then she turned to Sakura and engulfed her in a tight hug.

"I'm so glad you are ok." She whispered into Sakura's hair. "You had us all really scared for a while there." Holding back the tears that were threatening to spill over.

"Oh Tomoyo!" Sakura cried as she tightened the embrace. "I was worried myself."

~Sakura~

She was squeezing Tomoyo when she realized everyone was just staring at them. She let go and turned to see Eriol walk up to Tomoyo and wrap his arms around her waist from behind.

He smiled at her and said, "It's good to see your feeling better." Unknown to her or anyone else he had been having some crazy dreams lately. This same guy keep coming to him and telling him things about him and stuff about Sakura. He also mentioned some mystery guy that they had no idea about only that somehow he and Sakura were supposed to join and save the world or something. He just figured he'd eaten something bad or something, but when the dreams keep coming he just didn't know what was going on.

Sakura smiled brightly at him and said, " Thanks."

~Syaoran~

Syaoran stood back and watched everyone greet Sakura. E could tell by the way they acted toward each other that they deeply cared about each other. He looked over at Chris and Ally, who were standing aside letting them all greet their friend.

He smiled to himself as he watched the whole seen. He could tell that he was right about the black haired one. Last night he could tell she was very protective of Sakura but after walking downstairs and being threatened right off the bat like that. It was quiet amusing.

Ally walked over to him and gave him a quick hug. "Its good to see you again." She smiled.

"Yea you too. It's been too long." He looked down at the girl that looked exactly like Ashley. And to think there was just a year in the age difference. Just then Chris walked over to them.

"Well I'm glad that the girl. . . Sakura is ok." He said while looking at Mei Lin and the others talk to one another.

"You can say that again." Ally said thinking about her sister.

"Yea." Syaoran said as he leaned back against the wall.

~Mei Lin~

After talking for a couple minutes it hit her that there where three other people in the room. 'You idiot' she mentally slapped herself. Then she turned to Chris and Ally.

"Why don't you guys come over and officially meet Sakura." She smiled at them as they walked over. Now that she had her head on straight she thought of how much of a bitch she was to . . . 'what was his name?' she tried to remember. . . ' oh yea Syaoran or something.'

"Ally, Chris meet Sakura, Sakura this is Ally and Chris." She introduced. Then she looked and added, "I think you already know Syaoran."

"It's nice to meet you Chris and to see you again Ally." Sakura said politely.

"The Pleasure's all mine." Chris said and as the gentleman he is he kissed her hand. She just laughed and did a little curtsy.

Everyone was talking and having a good time getting to know each other. Mei Lin was glad that everyone was getting along. That meant after they went back to Japan someday they might be able to come and visit.

Tomoyo had gotten a phone call late last night from one of the girls at home. She had said that everyone was messed up and fights were breaking out everywhere. It sounded as if they were going to have to cut their little vacation short. According to Tomoyo, they needed to leave as soon as Sakura is well enough to travel.

She glanced over at Sakura who was talking to Ally and laughing at something Chris was saying. 'I guess we'll be leaving tonight then' she thought to herself.

Tokyo ~*~*~

~Dillon~

Dillon was sitting on his leather sofa in his high-rise apartment. He was waiting for Chase who had said that he would be there by dark. He looked over at the window. To anyone else the beautiful sunset would be relaxing and peaceful but to him I meant that soon he would be getting a visit from his father. Once Chase arrived that is.

Just then the front door sling open to reveal Chase and his gym bag slung over his shoulder. He closed the door and threw his bag down in front of the small closet by the door before walking into the living room and sitting down on the couch across from Dillon.

"So when do we get out new assignments?" Chase asked right off the bat. Straight to the point was the way he was and Dillon appreciated that.

` "Tonight." Dillon looked out the window again. The sun was just about completely below the horizon. "Soon after dark is what I was told."

"I see." Was all he replied. They both lay back of the couch they were on and waited. That was all they could do.

Hong Kong ~*~*~*~*~

~Syaoran~

They were all standing by the front door again. Everyone was hugging and saying their goodbyes. It seemed that Mei Lin, Tomoyo, and Sakura were needed back in Tokyo so they were catching the earliest flight possible. Just then he noticed Sakura standing in front of him. All of a sudden he felt her thin arms wrapped around his neck and his natural response was to wrap his arms around her.

"Thanks for saving my life." Her breath tickled his ear but he liked it. " You don't know how much it means to me."

He tightened his hold. " It was no problem at all. Really" he said in to her hair that smelled of cherry blossoms. She giggled.

"If you ever need anything or are in Tokyo just give me a call." She said as they separated.

"Will do." He said as he watched her pick up her things with her friends and head out the door. Before they got into the taxis they all waved one last time.

For some strange feeling he wanted her to stay. But as soon as the thought entered his head he pushed it aside. He didn't need anyone right now.

~* Weeks turned into months as the time flew by. Everyone went back to his or her normal routine except for small differences. Everyone was a lot closer than they were before. Mei Lin and Chris called each other every night to keep each other informed or to just talk about life in general. Tomoyo spent a lot of time trying to undo the mess that happened while they were gone and then spent any spare time with Eriol or the girls. Sakura continued to race. She also keep picking up on senses she had forgotten she had. She knew they were from when she was an angel but she didn't understand why she was getting them back now. Syaoran was going through the same thing. But not only was he recovering his lost senses he was getting back some of his power. He would go into the back yard sometimes and test just how much power he had by trying out different things. Eriol's dreams became more frequent. And there was a sense of urgency in them that he didn't understand. He spent hours trying to figure them out but still came up with no explanation. He could tell something was coming but what?*~

Hong Kong ~*~*~*~*~

Syaoran had just come in from testing his newly recovered powers. Chris was gone to some party or something one of his old friends were having and Syaoran had decided to stay home for the night. He had just opened a coke and gotten comfortable on the sofa with the remote in his hand, but before he could hit the power button the doorbell went off.

Syaoran set his coke down and glanced at the clock as he got off the couch. 'Who could it be?' he wondered as he headed for the door. 'It's midnight damn it. Isn't everyone partying or sleeping or something?' he asked himself as he opened the door. When he looked at who was standing on the doorstep he froze.

"Not everyone has a party to go to Syaoran." A tall guy with dirty blonde hair and deep green eyes stated as he smirked at his old friend. " What no hello for your old friend?"

"Kaleb! What are you doing here?" Syaoran said after finding his voice. "And did you read mind?"

Kaleb laughed shaking his head. "Yea I did, it wasn't that hard though you were practically broadcasting it to the entire world." He answered laughing but then a more serious look came over him. " And I'm here on important business." He looked at his friend, taking I how much he had changed. He looked pretty much the same but there was a difference. . . he could feel it.

"Well why don't you come in and we can talk business." Syaoran said as he moved out of the way and opened the door wider to let Kaleb through. He was carrying a couple of bags, which meant he would probably be staying awhile.

Tokyo ~*~*~

~Eriol~

He was alone in his apartment making himself something to eat. It was after one in the morning but he was hungry and wasn't to excited about going to sleep. He had been having those dreams almost every night now. The same guy was in it every time. Just then the there was a knock at the door and it brought him back to reality. 'I need to get some help.' He thought to himself as he shook his head.

He opened the door expecting Tomoyo since she had to do something with the girls tonight but promised to come by later. But what he saw made him wonder if he had fallen asleep and was dreaming again.

"No it's not a dream. I need to talk to you." A guy with golden blonde hair and bright gold eyes said in a serious voice. "By the way, my name is Kero." He held out his hand in greetings but Eriol just stood there to shocked to do anything.
