Chapter 3: Angel of the Home

"You've got to be kidding me; you mean they are there too?" Syaoran asked surprised while on the phone with Sakura. "Yeah, but I had someone save me who called her self an angel of death. I asked Kero-Chan about it but he said the same thing that the Darkness is here and we are going to have to work together," Sakura said relaxing on her bed staring at her rooms ceiling. "I'll tell mother about this when I'm done training for today." Sakura looked puzzled as she remarked, "training, shouldn't you be in school right now?" She could feel Syaoran smile over the phone as he said, "mother said I was 'sick until I completed my training,' so I'm reading up on the minions of the Darkness and practicing till mother deems me ready."

"This must be serious if your mother took you out of school; I know she cares more about your education then anything."

"Next to my safety yes, Sakura promise me you'll be careful ok?"

"Yes of course Syao-Kun, don't worry about me, worry about your training. Do you know if you are still going to be coming to visit in 2 months?"

"Not sure, I hope I will you know how bad I miss you."

"Yeah it's hard being apart for 5 years with only phone calls to talk."

Sakura heard her fathers voice echo from down stairs say "I'm back, Sakura are you home?" Sakura held the phone away from her ear and yelled back "Oye father I'm up in my room!" She then pressed her phone to her ear again "Sorry Syaoran-Kun Father is home so I have to go."

"Sakura one more thing," Sakura's eyes shot wider as Syaoran's tone turned deadly serious, "Don't trust the Angels, they seem to have one purpose and if anyone gets in their way they will no hesitate to remove them, and you haven't signed an alliance contract so you are vulnerable, stay out of their way the next time they show up."

"Ok Syaoran, I promise."

"I love you Sakura."

"Love you too Syaoran."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Sakura pressed the end button on her small pink phone and clutched it to her chest, "Syaoran-Kun…" She sighed as her eyes glistened in the afternoon sun, her hair flopping out around her head.

"You know for some one you have never even kissed you sure are enrapt." Keros voice shot out of no where breaking Sakura's concentration as she turned her head with an angry expression towards Kero. Kero's face immediately turned from one of smug arrogance to one of terror as the angry Sakura's gaze seemed to piece his heart.

"Heh, whoops."

"You better whoops, besides," Sakura's eyes twinkled and stared off into space as she completed her sentence, "I have kissed Syaoran-Kun, I can still taste his lips and smell his hair…"

"Uh…That was a play."

"Kero-Chan!" Sakura yelled as she stomped against the ground hard causing her room to shake.

"Heh…" said Kero a hand behind his head and eyes closed in embarrassment as Sakura turned her head back to facing Kero her face scrunched up in anger a fist shaking next to her head.

"Sakura," Came he fathers voice, "come down here I have some one for you to meet." Sakura sighed and walked to the door, "Coming Father!" Sakura opened the door and stepped into the hall carefully closing the door behind her. Kero gave a sigh of relief as he remarked "Saved by the father." Sakura then opened the door looking angry as ever and spat "You're not off the hook Kero-Chan!" then slammed the door behind her.

She quickly ran down the hall and down the stairs "I'm sorry father I was just changing into…" She was speechless as she walked into the living room; in front of her was her father and a young woman, with short brown hair and soft blue eyes. She stared at this woman for a good minute thinking 'she's beautiful,' before her father spoke up. "Ah Sakura, this is Cary Thomason, she's one of my research assistants from the college. She lost her place recently so she's going to be taking Touya's room until she can find a suitable place." Sakura stood still and softly bowed, "welcome Thomason." Maggie stood up from the couch and approached Sakura with a big smile on her lips, "please Sakura call me Cary-Chan." Sakura smiled and nodded. Cary turned to Sakura's father once again and remarked, "By the way since your hosting me I'll make dinner tonight." Fujitaka nodded with his characteristic smile, "Its Sakura's turn tonight so it's up to her." Sakura shook her head as she smiled back at her father "I don't mind, it would be nice to have something different for a change."

"Mmm, this is good, what did you say this was?" Sakura asked as she shoveled another helping of meat into her mouth with a big smile. Cary smiled as she placed a fork down on the table and gave a chuckle, "Its just roast beef, traditional Sunday meal where I come from." Sakura looked up a little puzzled, "Where you're from?" Fujitaka and Cary laughed as her father explained, "Ms. Thomason is a graduate student from England." Sakura looked at Cary still puzzled who smiled at her, "I guess I should have told you earlier." Sakura smiled back, "Its ok, oh its already late I still have some homework to finish," Sakura got up from her seat and bowed to Cary as she picked up her plate, "Thank you for the meal Cary-Chan, Father may…" Her father simply nodded and Sakura was off running back up stairs to her room. 'There's something about her, something strange, but not in a bad way, maybe I should ask Kero-Chan,' she thought as she opened her door and entered her room to find Kero staring out at the evening waning evening light. Kero was staring intently into the distance deep in thought. "Kero-Chan, I have something to ask you abou…" Before she could finish her sentence a serious Kero cut her off saying, "She is an Angeland yes we should be careful…"

"But how did you know..." Asked a confused Sakura approching her tiny guardian.

"I can feel her aura, I could feel it all day, the brats right, be careful the Angels are loose cannons even the nicest won't hesitate to remove any obsticle to their mission..."
