Chapter Seven:
"Sorry we're late sir" Syaoran apologized as he and Eriol rushed into the commander's office.
"That's alright" the commander said "it is raining. Do you have anything to report?"
Syaoran and Eriol were staring at the young man next to him. He appeared in his late twenties.
"Ah, this is Yukito Tsukishiro" the commander introduced "he's one of my assistants. He's personally involved with your case."
"How do you do?" the man smiled "Commander Reed's told me so much about you. I only just got back this evening."
"We're fine" Eriol replied "no girl uses the names you gave us. There are two new students though, Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji."
Yukito appeared thoughtful "strange, those sound familiar. Sir" he turned to the commander "could I go out with Kerobus please?"
Both Syaoran and Eriol were shocked. Kerobus and Spinel Sun were dogs trained to obey and assist only certain people. Spinel Sun obeyed them.
"I thought that Kerobus' partner died" Eriol said.
Yukito looked unhappy "yes, but he trusts me. He's happy to go visit the graves with me."
The commander sighed "Li, Hiirigizawa, why don't you come along and I can give you a briefing in my Main Office, it's past the graveyard."
