~* Story *~
Tokyo ~*~*~
~Eriol~
"Are you joking?" Eriol asked taking off his glasses and wiping them with his shirt.
"Does it look like I'm joking?" Kero asked. His golden eyes serious and a stern expression on his face.
"But it's all kind of hard to believe." Eriol said putting his glasses back on. "I mean Sakura. An angel?" He shook his head. "And your saying Dillon is an Angel hunter demon thing and wants to take Sakura to Hades?"
"Right." Kero said looking at his watch. "And her only hope is to be with the demon that was banished to earth."
"And who is that exactly?" He demanded. "How are we supposed to find him? Are we supposed to go around asking random guys if they are demons banished to earth because they are too nice?"
"No." Kero answered. "She knows him. You know him. He saved her life or something already."
"You mean Syaoran?" He shook his head in disbelief. "We only met him once! He's all the way in China!" Eriol said, his eyes flaring as he stood up towering over Kero who was still sitting.
"Calm down." Kero hissed standing up and looking him directly in the eye. "If that's the guy then he will come. If its not. . ."
"If its not what?" Eriol asked.
"Well then. . ." he paused. "Well she's not strong enough to defeat Dillon by herself."
"So you are saying with out him she's going to die?" Eriol asked fear covering his face.
Kero gulped as much as he hated it. "Yes." Just then there was a knock on the door. Eriol went to open it and Kero sat back down on the couch holding his head.
Eriol opened the door to see a beaten up Tomoyo and Mei Lin holding up a barely conscious Sakura. "What happened?" he asked as he helped get Sakura inside and sat her on the couch opposite Kero. Tomoyo put away her gun that she had in her hand, and Mei Lin held her arm that was cut and badly bruised, as they followed Eriol inside.
"Who is that?" Mei Lin asked glaring at the guy sitting on the couch across from Sakura.
"A friend." was all he said. "I'll explain later now what happened to you guys?"
"We were attacked." Tomoyo started. "We don't know who it was." She said shaking her head. "They just came out of nowhere and tried to take Sakura but we stopped them. They were wearing back and red and masks that covered their faces."
"One of them threw this at us before they left." Mei Lin said taking an envelope out of her pocket and handing it to Eriol. "All it says is 'Sakura'."
Before Eriol could open it Kero jumped up and snatched it out of his hands. "Don't open it!" he yelled. "It's for Sakura alone to open." He explained.
"Eriol, who is this guy?" Tomoyo asked eyeing him from where she was beside Sakura who had passed out after Eriol had laid her down.
"This is Kero." He looked at Kero with an expression that asked 'can I tell the?' and he nodded. "He is here to help Sakura. I think he can explain it better than I."
"What do you want with Sakura?" Mei Lin demanded.
"How do you know Sakura?" Tomoyo questioned. "Did you know her before she moved here?" she looked at Sakura who was sleeping.
"Well kinda," Kero said trying to think of a way to tell them about Sakura and Dillon and all the other news. But he was really worried because he knew time was running out. The watch he was wearing was given to him by the one of the head angels; it was a counting down until Dillon would take Sakura. He had left out the part about Dillon being able to take Sakura with out a fight when he was explaining to Eriol. It was complicated. He only really knew what he had been told before he came here. 'They know who she is. They will come. She will be taken.' The angel had told him when he was standing in front of the council. 'Then if she is to be saved he will appear. He will fight and Evil will fail.'
"Hello?" Mei Lin said snapping her fingers in front of his face.
"Sorry," he said shaking his head to clear his thoughts. "I am from a place called Haven."
"Is that were Sakura's from?" Tomoyo asked suddenly. "Where is that exactly?" she had never heard of the place.
"Yes, that's where Sakura is from but it's not on any map you know of." He answered getting confused looks from the two girls around him. "Why don't we all have a seat?" Everyone sat down. Tomoyo got help from Eriol and was now sitting on the couch, Sakura's head in her lap on a pillow. Mei Lin was sitting in front of the couch, and Eriol and Kero were sitting on the couch opposite the girls.
"Better?" Mei Lin asked sarcastically.
"Yea, thanks!" He smiled at her. "Back to what I was saying. Sakura isn't normal. She's an angel. She lived in a place called Haven. Not to be confused with Heaven." He glanced at Eriol for some help but found none. "She came her because she didn't fit in and was looking for somewhere to belong."
"Are you serious?" Tomoyo asked not believing anything he was saying. "Eriol? Is he insane?"
"No I'm not insane." He stood up. "You want proof I'm and angel? Here you go." He closed his eyes and was engulfed in a golden light. Snow white wings emerged from his back and his clothes became pure white with golden trimming. Tomoyo and Mei Lin, even Eriol just sat their shocked. "So?" he asked when he opened his eyes. "Believe me now?" All he got were nods of agreement.
"Wow, you never told me you could do that!" Eriol said amazed.
"Well with you I knew you could figure it out with out a demonstration. But these two," he looked at Mei Lin and Tomoyo. "They needed a little more proof."
Suddenly Sakura sat straight up. "Kero!" She shouted opening her eyes. She felt an energy burst and knew who it was instantly. She looked around and saw him standing there. "What are you doing here?"
"Glad to see you still remember me." He said smiling. He could feel her healing herself without realizing it. "Feeling better?"
"Yea I do actually." She said rubbing her head. "Why are my senses coming back?"
"So you really are an angel?" Mei Lin asked from the floor in front of Sakura.
Sakura just looked at her and then Tomoyo. "Yea, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you two. I couldn't. I was supposed to lose all my powers and senses when I came to earth. I was supposed to be normal." She said looking down ashamed.
"It's ok," Tomoyo said wrapping her up in a hug. "We understand."
"Yea," Mei Lin agreed getting up and joining the hug. Then she broke away and looked at Kero. "Is that why after that wreck she healed so quickly?"
Kero hesitated before answering, "Well yes, but she also had some help from another."
"Who?" She asked trying to think.
"Well I believe Eriol said his name was Syaoran." He answered gulping at the look on her face.
Hong Kong ~*~*~*~*~
"What are you saying Kaleb?" Syaoran asked. He didn't have a clue about what he was saying. All he caught was something about an angel. A demon angel hunter. And something about he would have to make a choice to save her life of let her die. 'What do I care about some angel?' he asked himself.
"Oh I believe you care a little something about this angel." Kaleb said looking at his friend. 'Maybe I should stop beating around the bush because he's not getting what I'm saying.'
"Stop reading my MIND!" Syaoran snapped getting aggravated. "And why exactly would I care about an angel?" he asked out loud this time.
"Because I believe, dear friend, that you saved her life once already?" He asked, if he didn't get the message this time he was just going to tell him. 'Does coming to earth make you go brain dead or something?' he wondered to himself.
"Sakura?" Syaoran asked in disbelief. "She's the angel you were talking about? No she couldn't be." He paused thinking. 'It would clear a couple things up that's for sure but she couldn't be. could she?'
"Very good. Now can you guess who the bad guy in this scenario is? Or do you need another hint?" Kaleb asked.
"Dillon." Was all Syaoran said. He hated him to the core. "What does he want with Sakura?"
"Like I've said already he was sent to take her back to Hades. Some of the head demons think it would be fun having her there. If you get what I'm saying." Kaleb shook his head. Sometimes he wondered about the Demon Council. Sometimes the things they did were unspeakable, and to think they did it all in fun. "I heard the idea was put up by Dillon's father. I also hard it was a ploy to get a rise out of you."
"They want to kill her to get to me?" He shook his head. "I wont let them hurt her."
"Syaoran," he paused, he didn't know if he wanted to tell Syaoran what else he had heard. "They knew about you and Ashley." He hung his head.
"What?" Syaoran asked in a deadly tone.
"They sent Dillon to kill her to get to you." He explained.
"What assholes!" Syaoran growled standing up and walking around the room coming to a stop in front of a table that had Ashley's picture on it. Just then Chris walked into the room. He had finally decided to leave the party and go home.
"Hi?" Chris asked, walking into the room. He had heard two voices one he recognized and the other must have belonged to the guy sitting in the chair.
Syaoran glanced at Chris. "Chris this is Kaleb my old friend, Kaleb this is Chris my roommate so to speak." They both looked at each other and said their hellos.
"Well I guess I'll see you two in the morning." Chris said getting ready to leave.
"Chris," Syaoran said turning around. "How would you like to go to Tokyo for a visit?"
"That would be cool I guess." He looked at Syaoran suspiciously. "Why?"
"Well I need to tell you something. Can you call Ally and see if she would want to come and if she says yes then tell her to come over as soon as possible." Syaoran said.
"Ok," Chris said grabbing the phone to call Ally. 'This is weird.' He thought to himself while dialing the numbers.
Tokyo ~*~*~
"So you mean my only hope is if Syaoran comes and saves me?" Sakura exclaimed. " Are you kidding? He probably doesn't even remember me!"
"I'm sure he does Sakura. There's reason to get all worked up." Kero tried to sooth.
"Really!" Mei Lin added with a smile on her face. "Oh I saw the way you two were looking at each other before we left."
"Yea you two seriously like each other!" Tomoyo added. "It's so cute!"
"Sorry to interrupt but let's not forget about the fact that Dillon still wants Sakura." Eriol put in.
"How could I forget that." Sakura said sadly. Her mood dropping a few notches.
"What your little watch thing say now?" Mei Lin asked. She had noticed him looking at him several times before he had told them what it was.
"Well I'll jut say this whole thing will be over in the next week at the most."
"That's not very long." Tomoyo said with sad eyes. She hoped that Syaoran would come but if he didn't she would die before she would let them take her friend.
"No it isn't," Eriol agreed. Everyone nodding thinking about what was to come.
"Well what do we do now?" Mei Lin asked. "Just sit here and wait for this to happen?" Everyone just looked at each other. "Well I don't think so." She stood up.
"What are you doing?" Tomoyo asked.
"We are going to party at out favorite club of course." Mei Lin said with a smile on her face. She hated seeing everyone so down. "We have a little more time until all this shit is supposed to happen so I say we make the best of it.
"That sounds good." Sakura said standing up beside her. Tomoyo nodded in agreement and stood up too. "I say we go back to our place and get ready. Why don't you boys get cleaned up and meet us at out place and we'll all go together?" Sakura suggested.
"That sounds fine by me." Eriol said. "Kero?" He looked at the guy sitting next to him.
Kero thought about it for a moment. There was really no reason to spend all their time sitting around waiting for the worst. "Sure why not." The girls left and the guys began to get ready.
The envelope Mei Lin had pulled out was laying on the floor hidden just under the side of the couch where Kero had let it slip out of his hands when Sakura had waken up. 'Sakura' was glowing red on the front of the envelope.
Hong Kong ~*~*~*~*~
"Now boarding flight 519." A female's voice said over the intercom.
"That's us." Chris said as he, Syaoran, Kaleb, and Ally made their way to the plane.
He had called Ally and she had come over. Syaoran had explained everything that was going on. It was weird thinking of him as a demon but he guessed he'd have to get used to it. They made themselves comfortable in their first class seats and they all sat thinking about the upcoming events.
"I hope everything goes alright." Ally whispered to Chris and he nodded. "Sakura is such a sweet girl." All he could do was agree as the plane took off and Ally drifted to sleep next to him. Kaleb stared out the window a million thoughts running through his head, while Syaoran's thoughts seemed to be fixed around one emerald eyed angel.
