----Chapter 2: Spring Dance and a Favour

"Never,' he hissed, 'never talk to me that way again. As for you fucking information Sakura,' he said Sakura like it was a thing among things that doesn't deserve to be placed on earth, 'I'm the Clow master."

Sakura wretched her hand free. "So, I don't care, they're mine along with Kero and Yue."

Syaoran grabbed her wrist again but his fingers dug into her skin, causing a mark to appear.

"You will regret ever saying that Kinomoto." He hissed as he left back for school.

Sakura fell, sat on her ass on the pavement, crying her eyes out.

'No point in going back to school,' she thought bitterly, 'I'm going home.'

And going home, she did.

---Home---

Sakura ran hope, crying her eyes out.

'Why, why does he hate me??' she cried.

---Flashback---

A year back, Syaoran transferred to Seijuu High from Hong Kong China. Stepping into the class, Syaoran was greeted with sighs, gasps and admiration.

Even back then, Sakura was in Syaoran's classes. Him becoming popular was pretty easy with his sexy looks and perfect body.

And then the school filled it in, 'Kinomoto Sakura is a NERD. Don't hang with her. Her sister Saruka is popular, you can talk to her.'

And since that day, Li Syaoran/Xiao Lang has been treating Sakura like a pile of dirt.

Why?

Peer Pressure and the law of Human Kind.

---End---

Sakura wiped her tears away as she slouched onto the sofa. Saru has Karate classes right after school so she won't be home until 7. Touya has work after school so he won't be home until 8. Sakura rubbed her wrist. It turned a light pinkish colour after Syaoran had tighten his grasp onto her.

"Great." She mumbled. "He'll probably hate me more now that I'm the Clow Mistress."

Sakura stumbled upstairs to find Kero eating pudding and Yue meditating.

"SAKURA-SAMA!!!" Kero roared as he launched himself into Sakura. He snuggled up against Sakura's chest and rested there.

"Ohayo Kero-chan, Yue-kun."

"Mistress, you have a strange Aura around you." Yue said

Sakura frowned. "Really? Is it bad?"

"No." Yue said. "It feels like… a second half."

Sakura frowned. 'A Second half…' she thought. Suddenly her eyes snapped open.

"OHH!! A second half!! I bumped into the Clow Master today."

Yue and Kero snapped as they both flew in front of her. "REALLY?!?" Kero screamed.

"Yea, while I was capturing Watery."

"You captured Watery today?" Yue asked.

"Yea, during school it appeared so I left."

Kero quick glanced at the digital cloth in Sakura's room. It read 12:30.

"Mistress, it's 12:30, you should be in school." Kero said warningly.

Sakura sighed. "I should, but I don't feel like it. Not after the threat Li gave me."

Yue and Kero both turned purple with rage. "LI THREATENED YOU?!?" they roared.

Yue jumped off the bed and lunged for the window. "I'LL KILL HIM!!!" he screamed as he tried to get out.

"Yue-kun." Sakura said sternly. "You won't hurt him. He is the Clow master."

Now Kero and Yue were dumbfounded.

"He's the…" Kero started.

"Clow master?" Yue finished.

Sakura nodded. "Yes he is. Now you two get rest. I know Yue's powers depend on the Moon and it's gonna be cloudy nights for the next week so Yue won't be able to regenerate. Kero, you're powers are from the Sun, but the Sun will be hidden by day clouds so you're powers won't be regenerated. So rest up, cause there's a major chance we'll have to do some Card Capturing then."

The two Guardians nodded as they resumed with what they were doing.

Sakura went to the living room and decided to practice her Ballet Piece.

---3:25---

Sakura was watching television when the doorbell rung. Sakura frowned.

"Saru and Touya aren't due home for another couple of hours. Okaa-san and Otou-san aren't supposed to be home until next week… who is it then?" Sakura asked.

She rushed to the front door and opened it revealing Tomoyo and a very sexy guy beside her.

"Tomoyo!!" She yelled as she hugged her friend. Tomoyo looked at her worriedly.

"When did you come home?"

Sakura shrugged. "First period."

Tomoyo frowned. "Doushite?"

"Because of…something."

Tomoyo laughed. "Oh, Clow Card?"

Sakura nodded but then looked at the guy. Tomoyo giggled. "Sakura Eriol, Eriol Sakura."

Sakura's eyes widened as she saw her Half Father at the door.

"WAII!! ERIOL!!" She screamed as she hugged him. Eriol laughed as he patted her head. "Hey Sakura."

"So, why did you come home early?" Tomoyo asked.

"Because I sensed Watery first period. I left and captured it only to find Li had followed me."

Tomoyo frowned. "Li?"

Sakura nodded. "Yea, he followed me and said that he was the Clow Master. He kinda pushed me to the ground so I didn't wanna face him at school today."

Tomoyo growled. "His stupid actions are pissing me off."

"Who? Syaoran Li?" Eriol asked.

Sakura nodded. "Yea why?"

"Li Syaoran is the direct descendant of Clow Reed, meaning he's my cute little descendant."

"Cute?? Blargh!!" Sakura faked puke.

The three burst out laughing.

"Come on in, I'll get some pizza."

As soon as Eriol and Tomoyo stepped in, they were bombarded with none other than Kero and Yue.

"CLOW-SAN!!" Kero screamed as he flew towards Eriol.

Eriol laughed. "Why, hello Kero, Yue, nice to see you two are taking care of your Mistress."

Yue frowned. "You're being sarcastic…"

Eriol glared at him. "You bet, how could you let her get hurt?? I thought Clow Reed had told you two to take care of your Mistress, not let her be."

Sakura walked in with a few slices of pizza. "Eriol-kun, it's okay. What happens in school is none of their concern."

"No." Kero stopped Sakura. "He's right… we should have taken care of you."

Sakura sighed. "No, really, it's not your fault. What happened two years ago was before the seal was opened."

Eriol looked at Sakura. "Two years ago?" he asked.

"I'd rather not talk about it." She whispered as she went to get her cards.

Eriol and Tomoyo were pigging out on Pizza as Kero and Yue were now, closely keeping a watch on Sakura.

She walked back down with the Sakura book and 4 Cards.

Eriol smiled. "Wow, 4 cards in two weeks."

Sakura stuck her tongue out at him. "That's not very nice."

Tomoyo giggled.

"So Eriol-kun, you're actually here…" Sakura sighed.

"Yep, and I brought along some friends of mine that Yue and Kero might recognize."

Enter Spinner and Ruby.

Yue looked at Ruby and blushed. "Ruby." He greeted.

"Yue." She nodded.

Spinner noticed pudding on the table and rushed for it. Kero laughed. "And I remember Spinner telling me Guardians don't need food."

Spinner glared at him before resuming his full attention to his pudding.

"Sakura, did you release Yue from his Human form?" Eriol asked.

Sakura nodded. "Yea, he said that he couldn't look after me with Yukito, his human form."

Eriol nodded. "Well, Ruby has a human from, Nakuru Akizuki." As if on queue, Ruby transformed into a hyper adult.

Sakura laughed. "Oh wow, that's really impressive."

Nakuru grinned. "Isn't it? But I want to separate Nakuru from Ruby."

Eriol nodded. "Yea, I've been wanting to do that, but ever since Yue and Yukito have separated, the incantation has been changed."

Sakura blushed with embarrassment. "Yea, you can blame that on me."

Eriol and Tomoyo laughed.

"But, if you want, I can release you two right now."

Nakuru shook her head. "No thanks, I'm applying to be the music teacher in your school Sakura, I can't be Ruby while I do that. People will freak out with my wings."

Sakura giggled. "That's so sweet, but you aren't my guardian."

Eriol laughed. "Oh yes she is. There are two sets of Guardians. Since Clow's demise, Yue and Kero have been locked up for you. Ruby and Suppi have been sent to me until I found you. Sakura, you have four guardians."

"Four… are I really that special??"

And the group burst into laughter's. Suppi had finally greeted his new mistress but resumed pudding consuming.

And so Eriol told Sakura stuff about Clow's history and Sakura tried to process the new information.

Just before leaving, Eriol decided that Nakuru/Ruby and Suppi stay with him, in case Yue and Kero are wiped out, than she can call for back up.

Tomoyo also had a huge announcement.

"Sakura, they're actually having a Spring Dance in two weeks!!! They cancelled it but said it was going to happen around last period."

Sakura's eyes widened. "REALLY??"

Tomoyo nodded. "Yea, me and Eriol are going together, oh he has Calculus with you and I wanted you to come."

Sakura smiled. "I'll think about it." She said before Tomoyo left.

---8pm---

Saru and Sakura were fighting each other, Karate of course. Saru had said, Sakura needs to keep tip-top with her training. Sakura didn't dare mention about Watery or the incident with Syaoran to Saru or Touya. But she did tell them about Eriol. They both really wanted to meet their half-father.

"We will." Sakura had answered.

Touya had gone to bed because he has no school tomorrow but work. Sakura and Saru would get to bed as soon as training was complete.

Around 8:30ish Sakura decided to get to bed. Saruka was gonna stay up and watch t.v until 9.

Sakura snuggled up against her pillow as Kero kissed her goodnight.

"Night mistress." He whispered.

"Night Kero… Yue…" and Sakura fell into a deep slumber.

---2:45 am---

Sakura sensed a Clow Card.

"Oh crap, this early." She moaned as she got up. She didn't bother changed out of her pajamas. She was wearing a light pink tank top with a light pink pajama pants decorated with bunnies.

Saru was sleeping like a log so Sakura woke up Kero and they both left quietly.

Yue was on the roof and followed a soon as Sakura flew out with Fly.

"What card is it??" Sakura asked.

Kero and Yue shut their eyes.

"Jump." They both announced at the same time. Sakura's eyes widened when she saw a little pink bunny like creature jump right in front of her. She shrieked as she lost control of her Wand. She fell off as her wand zoomed forward. Yue flew after the wand as Kero went after Sakura.

Transforming into Ceroberus took too long so he was a long shot away from Sakura.

Sakura screamed, having no control over her Cards since her wand flew away she was desperate. Her two guardians were trying their best but it didn't seem like it was helping. Sakura shut her eyes awaiting the impact of the ground but it never came.

She opened her eyes to see none other than…

Syaoran.

She stared into his eyes. "Li?" She whispered, her voice quivering.

She quickly got out of his hold and regained her posture. Ceroberus flew down and was very, very worried.

"Sakura-sama, are you okay??"

Sakura clutched her heart. "Seems like it. Where's Yue?"

"Here I am." Came a voice. The three turned around and saw Yue standing there clutching Sakura's wand.

Sakura ran up to Yue and hugged him. "Domo Arigatou Yue-kun." Yue nodded.

"No problem. But capture Jump, it's one hyper little fella."

Syaoran was watching in amusement how Sakura interacted with her guardians.

Suddenly, the little bunny/rat looking thingie jumped in front of Sakura. It jumped around her and on her head before making off again.

Sakura growled, something Syaoran didn't expect.

"ON NO YOU DON'T!!" She screamed as she summoned Windy to create a barrier around it.

Windy encased it, giving Sakura the opportunity to capture it. A light wind blew causing Sakura to shiver, she was still in her P.J's.

Syaoran saw this but shook his head. 'A stupid nerd that took my position of Clow Master.'

Sakura raised her wand and looked at Jump. "I command you, Jump to return to your sealed form under your new Mistresses' name, SAKURA!!"

Jumped whirled around before it was sealed into a Card. It flew straight to Sakura and squealed.

"Wai!! Another Card down!!" Sakura ran towards her guardians before shivering. Yue wrapped a wing around her to warm her up a bit.

"S'ok Yue, you and Kero go home, I wanna fly around."

Yue looked her in the eye. "You sure?" he asked.

She nodded. "Positive." So Kero and Yue flew off.

Sakura thought Syaoran left so she sat at the edge of the curb. She looked up into the sky before a light shadow cast over her.

She looked up and jumped as she saw Syaoran's intense eyes bore into her.

She stood up and backed off as Syaoran started stepping forward. Pure coldness in his eyes.

'How can somebody live with so much coldness?' Sakura thought.

"I…I need a favour." Syaoran finally said.

Sakura's eyes widened. "A favour… from me??"

Syaoran glared at her. "Fucking shut it and listen whore. I need you to set your sis and me up for Spring Dance."

Sakura glared back at him. "And what makes you think I'll do that after what you've done to me??"

Syaoran stepped closer towards her.

"If you do, I'll stop making fun of you, stop bullying you, and I'll owe you ONE favour…"

Sakura's eyes widened. "You…you'd…you'd do…you'd do that??"

Syaoran nodded. "So, what is it??"

Sakura shivered before looking him in the eye.

"I'll think about it and let you know in school. FLY!!" She summoned before leaving.

Syaoran ran his fingers through his unruly hair. 'That was awkward…' he thought before going home.

---Morning---

Sakura woke up before Saru did. Even after last night. Kero and Yue were also tired after Jump's little mishap. Sakura signed the card straight after she came home and jumped into bed before anybody could wake up.

Sakura got ready and ate breakfast before Saruka came down.

"Hey." She mumbled while pouring her self cereal.

"Hi. I gotta go to school early. Ayah-sensei needs to talk to me about the school dance."

Saru nodded as Sakura left with her in-line skates.

"TOUYA, YOU'RE DRIVING!!" she yelled before going to put her clothes on.

---Sakura---

Sakura sighed as she took a turn. "I didn't wanna lie sis, but I didn't wanna stay home either. Ayah-sensei doesn't need to talk to me." Sakura confessed.

In truth, she wanted to get to school early and avoid Syaoran, but no such luck. He too was early.

Sakura reached school and put her skates away only to turn around and find Syaoran.

"So." He started. "What'll it be?"

Sakura sighed hoping she won't regret this but…

"Yea, I'll help you."


That was interesting! I hope you enjoyed it!! Things are getting tense.

PPL asked me why Sakura is so pretty but a nerd? In truth, I had planned this. I know that usually nerds aren't as pretty as Sakura in fanfics but what happened two years ago really contributes to Sakura being a nerd but not looking like one. So, stay tuned to find out what I have in mind!!

Stay tuned!!
