Right thanx for the reviews glad you liked.

An old friend a new foe

Kero kept me up all night that night playing on XIII he was ok at it but I was better as he discovered while playing on multiplayer. I finally got to sleep at 7am because I turned the sound off even though Kero complained saying that it took away the special effects. I was so tired I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow which I couldn't really complain about that night I think I had a dream but not about anything Kero warned me about I dreamt I was dieing but no one was there with me at my death bed I was alone and scared then I drifted and shot up in bed.

"What's wrong kid?" asked Kero rather concerned.

"Nothing and don't call me kid its either Michael or if you prefer foxy!" I replied.

"Ok 'foxy' no need to be so cold!" he replied rather sarcastically.

"I'm not being cold that's just me I'm a little under sensitive at times" I insisted.

"You're telling me," he shouted so I tossed a cushion at him and it hit him smack bang in the face "I see your powers are improving too!"

"Wow I can hit you in the face with a cushion so what" I replied.

"Your aim improved thanks to the medallion" he explained.

"Ok but by the way how are we going to find out what time period the cards went to?" I asked while looking in the mirror at my face in the mirror I had strawberry blond hair wear glasses and a lot of freckles and very pail skin so they stick out like a sore thumb.

"Well I don't know do I" replied the small creature obviously dumbstruck.

"Well we gotta work it out" I told him suddenly the phone rang it was a friend of mine called Leon .he had jet black hair and one yellow eye and the other is red I thought it was cool he liked trendy clothes unlike me I wear slightly gothic style clothing but he didn't mind we were still good friends.

"Kero were going out I've got someone for you to meet." I said.

"Ok but what are you going to do you will look stupid carrying a yellow bear about and I'll be stared at because I can fly, talk and move" he replied. So I put him in my backpack and we headed off. Leon didn't live too far away from me actually only a few streets away every couple of steps I could here Kero yelping because I put nearly everything in my backpack. When we reached Leon's house I let Kero out of my bag and he started gawping at the size of it ok it was big huge actually 6 bedrooms and I can't remember how many other rooms there were. I knocked on the door and Leon answered Kero was still amazed until I hit him over the head and he finally said hello I explained everything about the Sakura cards and Kero and everything then I could feel something a blackness in my heart.

"Kero do you feel that?" I asked kinda worried.

"Yes it's a Sakura card and see your powers are improving," Kero replied with a little more urgency in his tone. "We need to wait until it shows its physical form first." Then suddenly I noticed my shadow was not there it was tossing things around the room.

So I muttered the incantation "medallion of power medallion of might lend me your strength to win this fight," so the medallion changed into the disk and I could feel the magic flowing through me "Kero I cant see its physical form yet!"

"Well lure it out then" he said.

"Ok," I replied I pointed a light over at Kero so his shadow was big and a hooded figure appeared out of nowhere. "there" I pointed out so I shouted "Sakura card so great and bold return to your true for behold" I tossed the disk at the cardsvisible form and split it in half but Leon was cowering in the corner of his room.

"What's wrong," Kero asked rather sarcastically "are you scared of the shadow card ha!"

"No just it's kinda strange seeing my best friends shadow dancing on my wall," Leon protested. "And Michael your order came" he handed me a long black leather cloak.

"About time!" I replied and tried it on it looked pretty cool on.

"Now that's a battle outfit," Kero shouted "now look at your disk."

"Ok" I looked at it and sure enough there was a small version of the shadow emblem.

"Can we go back to your place now?" asked Kero.

"Why?" I replied.

"Because a: we need to work out how to get the rest of the cards and b: I want to play on XIII again" he said I just laughed.

"Ok then were going see ya Leon" I shouted.

"Bye then" he shouted back. I quickly put Kero in my bag and walked back home with my new cloak on I got chased by some people calling me a Goth on the way home but didn't really care. When we got home Kero was just glad to get back home and play on XIII my family would be back from Japan any day now and I wasn't sure how to tell them.
