Hey guys! I'm freaking back! Fast update, huh? Yeah, I know! I'm now committing myself to updating as fast as possible with longer chapters, since this story is nearing its end. I don't know yet how my story will end, but I can assure you, you'll be glad you read it.

Anyway, this is the 8th chapter, right? So that means just a few more chapters.

I'm really sorry! I couldn't update since my computer was fried...and...yeah...you might say that it's not much of an excuse, but that's the truth...and plus I went places! I'm sorry! Hopefully, you'll all forgive me!

Sincerely,

Princess Nightfire

"Umm... Yeah, Tomoyo, yes.." Sakura was on her cell phone talking to Tomoyo.

"You want me to come with you?"

"Yeah. Tomoyo, this is really important. Whoever this is, he or she has Kero-chan!"

"O-okay. I'll be at your house later okay? Where will we meet this person?"

"You know what? I don't really know...I guess where I saw this person the last time..."

"Um, okay. I'll bring one of your new outfits over!" Tomoyo's voice finally sounded happy and excited. "I can't wait until I see you in them!"

Sakura sweat-dropped. "Uh, are you going to bring your camera?"

"Of course!" Tomoyo laughed. "Anyway, I have to hang up now. I'll talk to you later."

Sakura nodded. "Okay. You'll be here at 7:00 P.M. right?"

"Of course! I'll be there! Bye!" Tomoyo laughed before hanging up.

Sakura hung up and sighed. She was the Master of the Clow, but she was scared of the predicament she was in. What if Kero's captor was the same person as last time? The person with long blonde hair... "Blonde?" Sakura snapped out of her stupor and looked around in confusion. "Is it Momo?" Kira has the same strawberry blonde hair as Momo...but it might not be either of them. But it is a possibility.

"Hey, Tomoyo!" Sakura smiled as she opened the door for her friend. Immediately, a plastic bag was shoved up her nose.

"Here, Sakura!" Tomoyo cheerfully smiled at her as she kicked off her shoes and entered the house. "I made you a brand new outfit! It's totally kickin'!" Tomoyo handed Sakura the bag and sat down on the couch. "Hope you like it!"

Sakura stared at her in confusion. "Kickin'?"

"Huh?" The confusion was now apparent on Tomoyo's face. "Oh! Kickin', you know...cool, awesome, stuff like that."

"Oh! Okay!" Sakura laughed. "I'm so out of it!"

Tomoyo smiled warmly at her. "No worries! Just put on the outfit and we'll go!"

Sakura nodded. "Okay!" She ran into her room and peeled off her clothes. "Let's see..." She pulled out the outfit from the bag and smiled. Tomoyo always did have a great sense of fashion! She slipped it on and ran back downstairs. "Hey, Tomoyo, how do I look?" She pretended to model in front of her.

Tomoyo swelled with pride at the sight. Sakura wore a mini dress. It was light pink with a see-through waterproof outer coat. Sakura wore dark pink boots that reached past her knees with small angel wings on the ankles. "You look great!"

Sakura smiled. Tomoyo was her best friend, and it made her happy to see her friend happy. And also, it made her happy that Tomoyo would take such time and care to make such cute clothes just for her. "Thanks. Let's go?"

Tomoyo nodded and picked up her video camera. "Are you ready?"

Sakura shook her head, but smiled. "I'm never ready, but I have to do this to save Kero."

"Okay." Tomoyo put a hand on Sakura's shoulder and smiled. "I have your back. Don't worry."

"Thanks." Sakura smiled and opened the door. Tomoyo walked out and waited for Sakura. Sakura turned off the lights and sighed. 'Kero, I'm coming.'

"So...where are we?" Tomoyo seemed to shiver at the slight breeze.

"The last place I met with that person..." Sakura left off and turned around. "What was that?" She looked around and held up a finger to Tomoyo, signaling her to be quiet.

There was a rustle of leaves and a snapping of twigs. Sakura heard laughter as the person neared. "Well, you made it!" The feminine voice she heard before sounded again. She heard something move behind her and she swiftly turned around.

"Who's there?" Sakura stood her ground bravely.

"Aaw! You already forgot all about me?" The voice laughed. "You know, Kero-chan is so cute! Like a stuffed toy."

Sakura shook her head. "How did you know about Kero?"

Laughter. "I know all about you and your little bravery acts as Card Captor." A pause.

"Tell me who you are!" Sakura's face was hardened by anger. This person was teasing her! Laughing and mocking her!

"So you did forget who I am!" Laughter once more. "Allow me to refresh your memory." The same paralyzing beam was shot towards her from her left. It missed her by centimeters, instead hitting a tree next to Tomoyo. "Did that help, any?"

"Tomoyo!" Sakura turned to her and yelled louder. "Hide! You might get hit!" Sakura quickly turned back after making sure that Tomoyo had carefully ran out of view. "I remember you!" She spat out the word you as if it was venom on her tongue.

"Yes, of course you do." The voice replied.

Sakura's eyes widened at the realization. She had heard this voice before! And now she knew that it didn't belong to Momo! She heard movement and the parting of leaves as the person came out and smiled at her. She was still wearing the same outfit as the last time they met.

"So, do you want Kero back? I'd be happy to do an exchange!" Cherry red lips smiled at her. "Your Kero for the cards."

Sakura frowned. "I know who you are." She quickly whipped out a card and called out the sword card. She grabbed the sword and ran at the figure. "Grr! I know it's you...Kira!" Sakura felt bad for being nice to Kira when it was Kira's fault she got sent to the hospital and Kero's kidnapping.

"Finally you figure me out! I didn't think you'd find out until later!" Kira took off the mask and smirked. "Now hand over the cards."

Sakura jumped and sliced at her, but it didn't affect her in anyway. "Huh?"

"Duh! You missed!" Kira laughed. "But, I won't!"

Quickly, Sakura pulled out watery and blocked herself against Kira's attack. Kira only smirked. She laughed and mocked Sakura. "Is that the best you could do?"

In full out rage, Sakura called out the dash card while using the sword card, and ran at Kira, slashing all the while.

"Argh! " Kira screeched, grabbing onto her arm. Sakura caught the sight of blood coming out.

All thoughts coming at once, Sakura dropped to her knees. 'Is the cut deep?' 'Will she live?' 'What's going to happen?'

Sakura watched as Kira sighed and her head dropped. There was a small minute of silence as Sakura watched Kira's silent figure. 'She couldn't have given up that easily, right?'

As Sakura thought, Kira was planning her next action. All at once, Kira's head shot up and she attacked. With a strong arm, Kira struck Sakura straight and true in the gut. For a small while, Sakura had trouble breathing. "Haha..." Sakura giggled softly. "Is that the best you could do?"

Kira smirked. "You are strong, huh?"

"More than you know!" Sakura yelled and used the sword card once more. Kira grinned and produced a sword from her back. They matched swords, all the while screaming insults to one another.

"You going down!"

(Tomoyo POV)

Tomoyo watched that in silence as she video taped the whole thing. She was shocked when it turned out to be Kira and grimaced at the sight of blood. For a while, she turned her video camera off and sighed. As she sat and watched the two clash swords, she wondered where Kero was.

"Tomoyo?" Kero floated above her, a smile playing on his face.

"Kero!" Surprise shown on her face as she reached up and hugged him. "Where were you?"

"Huh?" Kero looked confused. "I don't remember! The last thing I remember was going to Sakura!"

"What? You were kidnapped by her!" Tomoyo pointed at the girl Sakura was fighting. "Kira! Momo's older sister!"

"No I wasn't!" Kero pouted. "I went to the park to help Sakura, when I went back home after helping her! That's it!"

Now it was Tomoyo who was shocked. "You're not Kero-chan."

"Huh?" Now it was his turn to be surprised. "What are you talking about? Of course I'm Kero! Are you blind?"

"No...you're not Kero-chan. The real Kero I knew would rush into the fight as soon as he saw Sakura in trouble!" Tomoyo glared at him. "I directed you to the fight, but all you did was insist you were Kero-chan. It wasn't helpful at all." Tomoyo frowned. "Now go away." She stood up and walked away. "I'm going to find the real Kero-chan!"

(Nearby...)

"Hmm...?" Eriol watched from atop a tree. "Ruby Moon?"

"Yes, Master?" Ruby Moon emerged from the shadows, a smile on her face.

"You know that woman, do you not?" Eriol pointed at Kira.

Ruby moon followed his finger and saw her. All at once, her eyes narrowed and she growled. "Of course I know that stupid, stinky, fu—"

"Yes, I thought as much." Eriol said with a smirk as he cut her off.

Ruby Moon continued to watch as Kira and Sakura fought. "Where did she get all of that power?"

Eriol smiled. "From me, of course."

Ruby Moon whipped her neck around so fast she almost got whiplash. "What?"

Eriol smiled at her. "I gave her that power. I gave her the desire for the cards." Eriol went back to watching the fight. "But it was never meant for her."

"Um...I don't understand!" Ruby Moon complained.

"The power was meant for Momo. Kira's younger sister, and Sakura's total enemy at school. Unfortunately, I missed my target and gave Kira the desire and power, but after tonight, she won't remember a thing of it. The only thing Momo received was the hatred for Sakura." Eriol cocked his head to the side. "Sakura is putting up a good fight, isn't she?"

"Pfft. I can do better!" Ruby Moon said snootily.

"Better than Sakura or Kira?"

"The stinky, stupid, ugly, fu—"

"Okay, Kira it is, then!" Eriol smiled and went back to watching the fight without another word.

(SAKURA POV)

'Kira is so strong!' Sakura grimaced. 'But...how did she get the strength?' Sakura grunted as she jumped into the air, aiming for another attack.

Kira wasn't prepared for the attack and took it head-on. Sakura frowned at Kira's screams and walked away. As soon as it had begun, Sakura had almost forgotten why she was even there. "KERO-CHAN!"

Sakura ran back and pulled Kira up by the shirt. "Where is my Kero?"

Kira didn't say a word and looked away. "I am not going to tell you."

"What?" She was behaving so unlike herself and she knew it. The fight had unlocked the monster in her and there was no way she could be stopped. "Tell me where!"

"Right here!" Kero-the real Kero- appeared in his true form, glancing worriedly from Sakura to Kira.

All at once, Sakura's face softened and she ran to Kero, arms spread wide, asking for a hug.

(The next day at Li Syaoran's home)

"What happened?" Li watched as Sakura smiled reassuringly at him.

"I really don't know. Yesterday was such a big blur to me. I can't remember most things that happened to me." Sakura paused. "I just remember the pain, the anger, and the screams. If...I hurt Kira really badly, I don't know what would happen."

"Kira? Momo's older sister?" Li asked.

Sakura nodded.

They sat in Li's kitchen drinking tea—or water in Tomoyo's case. It was the day after the fight and they were explaining the whole ordeal to Syaoran.

"I managed to find Kero, though!" Tomoyo smiled warmly.

"Kero? Was he missing?" Syaoran asked, obviously confused.

"Did we forget to mention that little detail?" Sakura said, with a smile.

Li nodded. "Tell me everything! Start from the beginning!"

So they began, telling Li everything they could remember. Sakura told him what she remembered and Tomoyo filled in the holes.

"So where did you find Kero?"

"Well, I thought I found him, but it wasn't him. So I went in search for the real Kero-chan. I walked deeper into the nearby forest and found a small cave. It was really small! I had to crawl to get in!" Tomoyo laughed.

"Why would you just crawl into some random hole?" Sakura and Li asked at the same time.

"Huh? Oh! Because I heard someone screaming in there." Tomoyo said. "Anyway, I went in and I saw Kero! He was tied up, gagged, and everything!" Tomoyo sighed. "I untied him, then told him everything that was happening. We both got out of that hole pretty quickly and Kero went to help you."

"Oh." Sakura sighed.

"Hey! You know what I just noticed?" Syaoran burst out.

"What?"

"Sakura is acting like Tomoyo and Tomoyo is acting like Sakura!"

Sakura raised an eyebrow at him. "And what makes you say that?"

"Well, Sakura, you're being quiet, reserved and mostly just smiling while Tomoyo is acting all hyper!" Syaoran raised both eyebrows. "Did something happen? Did you accidentally use the change card?"

"Huh?" Sakura looked at Tomoyo. "I'm quiet because I'm tired from all that fighting from yesterday!" Sakura laughed. "I think I'll just take a nap..." Sakura wobbled over to Syaoran's sofa and fell asleep.

Syaoran turned to Tomoyo. "What about you? What's your excuse?"

"I don't know!" Tomoyo shrugged. "I guess I was just tired of being myself. I guess I just finally let go..." Tomoyo smiled. She looked at her watch and stood up quickly. "Oh! Look at the time! I have to go! Mommy expects me to be back because she is expecting some guests!" She grabbed her coat from the coat rack and opened the door. "Thank you for having us over, Li!" Tomoyo smiled and left the house.

Li sighed. Now it was just him and Sakura. He walked over to where Sakura was sleeping and sat down on the floor. He watched in silence as she slept without a care in the world.

Ten minutes flew by as he just stared at her. 'She looks so peaceful.'

Ding-Dong.

The doorbell sound woke him from his thoughts and he stood up to answer the door. He stepped to the door and opened it.

"Hello, Syaoran!" Momo stood at his doorstep, smiling about who knows what. "I love your house!" Without waiting for an invite inside, she kicked off her flip flops and burst in through the door.

(SAKURA POV)

Sakura's eyes bust open at the sound of the doorbell. Groggily, she stood up and looked around. 'Oh yeah, I'm still in Syaoran's house.' She yawned and walked to where Syaoran stood at the door. Instantly, she heard a voice that nearly killed her.

"Eeew!" Momo pointed at Sakura. "What is she doing here?" Momo glared at Sakura.

"I'm his friend. I'm supposed to be here." Sakura rolled her eyes.

Momo flipped her hair back. "Whatever."

With a sigh, Syaoran shut the door and counted to ten. When he reached nine, the doorbell rang once more. In frustration, Syaoran seized the door handle and opened it with a slam. On the door step stood Mei Lin in all her glory.

"Hey Syaoran!" Mei Lin giggled. "Guess what!" She took off her sandals and walked into the house. "My flight got canceled and—" She stopped talking as soon as she saw Momo and Sakura already in the house.

Sakura turned around and gasped when she saw Mei Lin in the room. 'Great! My day keeps getting better and better.'
