Chapter 2

Next Day

"I'm not going to school!" A groggy Sakura banged on her alarm to make the shrill beeping go away, "Why won't you stop?" she moaned, hitting the offending object repeatedly with a shoe.

"Err, Sakura. It's your phone." Kero flew over to his Mistress, frightened at the sight of the alarm clock's parts, which were now scattered about the carpet.

"Oops?" Sakura defiantly was not a morning person. She reluctantly took the phone off Kero. "Hello?" she half yawned, half spoke the word. After about five minutes, a tired and confused Sakura said goodbye.

"So, you gonna explain that look on your face?" Kero asked, dodging the teddy that came flying past him.

"It was Tomoyo, she says she's sorted the flights and the hotel rooms for out trip to China, but she won't be able to come until a couple of days after we get there." Sakura stopped, yawning as if she hadn't just been sleeping for the past ten hours.

"Did she say why?" She shook her head, "Well don't worry about it anyway Sakura."

"That's not the strange part, she wants you to stay with her." This was the part that had puzzled her. She couldn't think of anything that Tomoyo would need Kero for, except maybe costume fitting.

"Hmmm, oh well..." Kero's face suddenly lit up, "Tomoyo always makes great treats!"

Sakura sweat dropped, "Is that all you think about?" She didn't really mind, her guardian could be a handful sometimes and with him out of the way there wouldn't be any arguments between him and Syaoran.

With only one day until she was leaving she decided to use the early wake-up call to get her packing done. As she was filling her suitcase she suddenly realized that she was putting all of her favourite clothes in. 'Strange, it's not like I need to be dressed up.'

"I take it the brat is going when you do," Kero startled Sakura coming up from behind her and taking note of the sort of items being thrown into her case.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she said glaring at Kero and turning a healthy shade of pink at the same time, "I'm just packing." To make a point she grabbed the ugliest hand-knitted jumper she owned and included it along with her other belongings.

Syaoran's House

"Umm ok, sure, bye Tomoyo." Syaoran put the phone down and started to panic. Two days alone in another country with Sakura. They hardly ever hung out alone, probably because when they did he would turn into a nervous wreck. Still it would be nice to get away from Kero and Tomoyo's camera lenses.

His suitcase started filling with his favourite items of clothing as well as his signature cologne...

Ok I promise some action will happen in the next chapter.
