Zachycards: Once more, here is the very important disclaimer. I don't own anything in this story besides myself, and I'm not making any money off of this in any way, shape, or any other form at all. I also do not own any part of Cardcaptors; it will always belong to CLAMP. So anyways, now that the disclaimer is out of the way, it is now time to move on to the new chapter.

Chapter 16 - FLOATing above the STORM Part 2

After Sakura and I had had our fight with Kero last night and we all went to sleep, Sakura and I woke up in the morning to try and tell Kero that we were sorry for what we had said to him last night. But, for some reason we couldn't find him. "Kero, where are you?" Sakura and I asked/said in unison as we tried to figure out where he was.

It was when Sakura and I had just walked past the desk near the corner of the room that we heard Kero's voice. "Down here" Kero said in a somewhat muffled tone of voice. About a few seconds after Sakura and I had heard Kero's voice, the bottom drawer of the desk slid open, and Kero came out. "What are you doing down there?" I asked Kero in a very confused tone of voice.

About a split second after I had asked the question, Sakura noticed all the items that were inside the desk drawer that Kero was in. "So, what do you think, I moved in here last night, it may be kind of tiny, but it's pretty cozy" Kero said to me and Sakura in a happy tone of voice. "What happened to all of the stuff that I put in there?" Sakura asked in a very upset tone of voice. "You mean the junk that was in here, oh it's over there" Kero said while pointing underneath the desk.

As soon as Sakura and I looked at where Kero was pointing, we immediately saw all of the stuff that was originally in the drawer where Kero was, and that was when it all started to go downhill.

About a second or two after Sakura and I saw all of the stuff that Kero had tossed out of the desk drawer, that was when both of us decided that enough, was enough. Sakura and I then pulled out the drawer with Kero still in it and shook it until he and the stuff he had used to make his bedroom were all on the floor. "Hey, what did you do that for!?" Kero yelled at me and Sakura in an angry tone of voice. "You

completely messed up our drawer!?" Sakura and I yelled at Kero in response as we started to put all of the stuff that Kero had tossed under the desk back into the drawer. Kero then called both of us "room wrecking monsters", and then Sakura and I retaliated by saying that we didn't give him permission to use the desk drawer as a bedroom in the first place.

After Sakura and I finished putting our stuff back into the drawer, we then put on our school uniforms, and then headed out towards the school. A few periods into the school day, Madison, Sakura and I talked about what had happened during me and Sakura's fight with Kero. "Wow, so I guess that's why you two are in such a bad mood" Madison said to me and Sakura in a somewhat concerned tone of voice. "Yea, he just took all the stuff that was in the drawer and just threw it on the floor" I said to Madison in response.

Meanwhile, back at the house in me and Sakura's room, Kero was busy painting something on one of me and Sakura's books. After Kero had finished painting, he flew out of our room and flew into the living room.

After he got to the living room, he saw a package that was shaped like a box full of chocolates. Kero was deciding whether or not to tear it open to see what it was, but he knew all too well that Sakura and I were still very upset at him. But instead of deciding to not open it, and avoid getting into bigger trouble with me and Sakura, Kero decided to tear it open anyway. As soon as he tore it open, he immediately started eating the chocolates that were inside the package.

Meanwhile, back at me and Sakura's school, Madison, Sakura and I were sitting at the pond in the school's courtyard talking about Kero again. "I know that Kero wants his privacy, but that doesn't give him the right to wreck our desk drawer" Sakura and I both said in a somewhat depressed and concerned tone of voice. "I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt your feelings" Madison said as she tried to make me and Sakura feel less depressed. About a few hours after Madison, Sakura and I had had our conversation in the school's courtyard, Sakura and I headed home.

When Sakura and I had arrived at our house, we immediately started walking towards the stairs to head up to our room, that is, until we saw

the empty box of chocolates. "I can't believe Kero ate the whole box of chocolates, they were supposed to be for dad" Sakura and I said in a somewhat agitated tone of voice. And shortly after Sakura and I had finished the sentence, we felt a slight breeze coming from the window. Sakura and I then noticed the small chocolate covered footprints on the window sill.

A little later that evening, Sakura and I had just finished our dinner. Our dad then asked us if we had seen his packaged box of chocolates anywhere. Sakura and I responded by saying that we didn't see it anywhere either. Sakura and I then went upstairs to our room to get ready for bed. When Sakura and I got upstairs, we instantly saw the painted letter on our books. Sakura and I then noticed that Kero was nowhere to be seen. "Where did he go?" I said/asked to no one in particular in a very confused tone of voice.

The next morning, Kero was sleeping on a broken couch out in the street somewhere, that is, until a young girl came outside to take out some trash and spotted him. The young girl then decided to take Kero in as a pet.

A little later, Kero finally woke up to find himself in a baby stroller instead of the broken couch that he remembered going to sleep on. "Where am I?" Kero asked to no one in particular in a somewhat scared and confused tone of voice.

It was then that the door to the room swung open, and the young girl walked in. "Oh good, your awake" the young girl said to Kero. Kero then immediately knew that he hadn't seen this young girl before. The young girl then put a bowl of food on the table in front of Kero. "Here's your breakfast" the young girl said. "My name is Anika, what is yours?" Anika asked Kero.

Meanwhile back at home, I and Sakura were looking out the window of our room and wondering about Kero, and shortly after that, Sakura and I headed back downstairs.

The next day, Madison, Sakura and me were walking in the school courtyard and talking about Kero running away. A little later into the conversation, the three of us decided to go look for Kero downtown.

Back at Anika's house, Kero was faxing a letter to me and Sakura to help us find him. Shortly after Sakura and I had received the letter, I called Madison to help me and Sakura find Kero's location. When Madison found Kero's exact location, Sakura and I immediately put on our shoes, and then went off to find him.

Meanwhile, Kero was waiting impatiently back at Anika's house for me and Sakura to come and bring him home. Suddenly, everything in the room that Anika and Kero were in started floating above the floor. Anika then floated out of the house through the open window.

It was then that Kero saw a weird but strangely familiar purple and pink colored ball with wings near where Anika was floating. "It's a clow card!" Kero said in a somewhat shocked tone of voice. About a second after Kero finished his sentence; Anika was blown away in the wind and was carried up high into the sky. "It has to be the Float card!" Kero said in a very serious tone of voice. Kero then flew after Anika to try and get her away from the Float card spirit. But unfortunately, Kero soon ran out of energy, and started falling down at a very fast speed, that is until he fell gently into me and Sakura's hands as we passed by on our winged staffs. "Sakura, Zachary, what are you doing here?" Kero asked us in a somewhat confused tone of voice. "Madison used your fax to find you, and it looks like me and Sakura are just in time" I said to Kero in response. "The Float card is the one behind this, it likes to scare the daylights out of people, and you two are going to have to seal it quickly" Kero said to me and Sakura in a serious tone of voice. "You got it!" Sakura and I said to Kero in unison.

As soon as Kero, Sakura and I got close enough to the Float card spirit, Sakura and I quickly got off our respective winged staffs, and raised them over our heads. "Float card, we command you to return to your power confined, Float card!" Sakura and I chanted and yelled in unison as we swung our respective staffs down at the same time. A few seconds after that, the Float card was sealed. But we weren't finished yet, without the Float card spirit being under Anika to keep her floating up in the air, she started to fall towards the ground, that is, until Sakura and I got back onto our winged staffs, raced towards Anika as fast as we could, and when she was almost near the ground, I immediately pulled out the Wood card, and then Sakura and I once again got off our winged

staffs, raised our respective staffs and said "Wood card, come to our aid, Wood, release and dispel!" Sakura and I chanted as we hit the Wood at the same time with the tips of our respective staffs.

About a few seconds after that, the Wood card spirit appeared, flew down to the ground, and formed a giant tree and Anika fell through the tree until she stopped a few inches from the ground tangled in vines. "Now that was a bit too close for comfort" I said as I wiped the sweat from my forehead. "I agree with that completely" Sakura said as she also wiped the sweat from her very sweaty forehead and her neck.

End of Chapter 16
