Author's notes – Well, personally I really like this chapter because…well you'll find out. Hopefully you'll like it for the same reason I do. Tomoyo's been doing some scheming; she's been helping me write this one, 'tis good.

To my reviewers of chapter 5:

Chibi Ame – Thanks for reviewing! And your reviews do help, they help build my confidence, which there isn't much of in the first place ; ). Syaoran will come and Mamoru will be rescued, but I cannot say whether it will be sooner or later, that's my secret ; ). Anyway, thanks again!

bookworm908 – I don't know if you're asking me to explain everything that's happened in the story so far, or not. There is a hint of mystery all throughout my story. Every question will be answered. Don't worry about that. And about the blurry parts with Mamoru, they'll become less blurry as those parts continue. 'Tis my style.

Chapter 6

"Kero-chan! Do you want to come to Tomoyo-chan's house with me?" Sakura called as she walked up the stairs. She was trying to fasten her new bracelet around her wrist. "Kero-chan!" Sakura called again as no answer came. She opened her door to find Kero sleeping on her pillow, chocolate cake still lining his mouth. It was Sakura's birthday and she had had a very small party with her family and Tomoyo. Presently she was getting ready to go to Tomoyo's house; she had been invited earlier.

Sakura put on one of her nicest pink sweaters and started walking to Tomoyo's mansion. She pulled her sweater up over her nose as she wondered what exactly her new threat was. They hadn't even come close to seeing who or what they were up against. Letting her sweater fall back down around her neck she sighed. She knew that Touya was hiding something from her, he kept giving her that protective look, the look that meant he hoped she never would have to go through something that he knew she would anyway. She continued thinking as she subconsciously walked to Tomoyo's house; she only came back to the present when her finger was on the doorbell.

Tomoyo opened the door. "Hello Sakura-chan, come in." She opened the door wide open and Sakura saw everyone in her grade standing in the entry hall of the Daidouji mansion.

"SURPRISE!" They all yelled together. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Sakura blushed deep red as she smiled. "Tomoyo-chan, you didn't have to do this." She whispered.

"Yes I did." She whispered back. Sakura took a deep breath and went to talk with her friends. About fifteen minutes into the party a whisper went through the crowd. Sakura turned to see what everyone was looking at, and saw a girl with long black hair pulled into two, high pigtails. She was wearing an elegant red shirt and a black skirt.

"Meiling-chan!" Sakura cried. She ran up to her friend and buried her in a hug.

"Sakura-chan! It's so good to see you!" Meiling exclaimed.

"How've you been?"

"Good, I've been really good." Meiling said. They were both smiling from ear to ear.

"Me too." Sakura said. A thought suddenly hit her. "Um…"

Meiling smiled as if she was laughing at Sakura. "Your prince charming is in the living room."

Sakura blushed and hesitated, taking a deep breath before setting off toward the living room. She opened the double doors and gasped as she saw the mass of messy brown hair facing away from her on the couch. She wondered by which name she should call him, but she didn't need to say anything because he heard her come in and stood up.

"Sakura-chan." He breathed. Sakura melted at the sound, his voice had become deeper since he was twelve years old.

"…Syaoran-kun." Sakura finally said with courage. Syaoran gave her a genuine smile and they both took an awkward step forward. Sakura took a leap of faith and rushed to give him a hug. Syaoran squeezed her in return.

"I missed you." They both said at the same time. Suddenly, a loud applause erupted from outside the room. Syaoran and Sakura looked up to see the whole grade watching them, Meiling and Tomoyo with her camera in the very front.

"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura exclaimed in embarrassment.

The party went very well. Tomoyo had pizza delivered to the house and they ate a delicious ice cream cake. Sakura received many gifts, mostly money. From Syaoran she received a beautiful necklace with a crystal cherry blossom pendant.

Everyone was disappointed when the party was over, but Sakura was not completely disappointed until Syaoran and Meiling's limousine pulled up in front of the house. The atmosphere between Sakura and Syaoran had been tense and awkward all evening, but she still enjoyed having him around. He had told her earlier that he and Meiling had only flown in for the night, and that they would be gone by morning.

"Syaoran-kun…" Sakura said almost desperately. Syaoran turned to her with sadness in his eyes. He looked down at his feet before taking her hand. He bent down to whisper in her ear.

"We'll see each other again, I promise." He sighed. "Goodbye Sakura-chan." He paused and there were a few precious moments when neither one of them moved an inch. Syaoran suddenly flashed a smile and gave Sakura a quick kiss on the cheek before turning away and walking to his limousine. Sakura smiled widely as she blushed. If Syaoran had turned around once more, she would have seen that his face was even redder than her own was.

Michiru sighed heavily and laid her head on Haruka's shoulder.

"Haruka, why are we here?"

Haruka blinked tiredly. "I don't know. Ami-chan said something about coming here."

Michiru rolled her eyes. "I don't think it was Ami-chan."

"You're right. This was all your idea." Haruka said.

Michiru gave a small laugh and turned her head to rest her chin on Haruka's shoulder. "It wasn't my idea either, Haruka."

"Fine, we're here because I wanted to come." Haruka said.

"And there isn't really any point to being here, is there?" Michiru continued, smiling.

"You said that you were worried about her intentions as well." Haruka said.

"Yes but I didn't think we would be spying on her in the park." Michiru said. They were sitting on a bench in the King Penguin Park.

"Once they walk by, we can go."

Michiru leaned her head on the back of the bench. "I hope they walk by soon." As soon as she had finished speaking, a group of chattering girls came into sight down the street. A tall boy with dark hair accompanied them.

"Here they come." Haruka looked down at her, Michiru hadn't moved. "Act natural." She said sarcastically.

"Like I wasn't doing that already."Michiru said. The girls walked by, without noticing them. But one of them separated from the group, as they were about to turn the corner.

"Ah, Daidouji-san." Haruka said as the girl came closer.

"Ten'ou-san, Kaioh-san, how unexpected to see you here." Tomoyo said with the slightest of smiles.

"Yeah it is, isn't it?" Haruka said, smiling as if it was ironic.

Tomoyo sighed. "I thought you didn't live in Tomeada."

"We don't." Michiru said.

"So, may I ask what you're doing here?"

"Why do you care?" Haruka asked, leaning forward.

Tomoyo sighed again. "I'm just trying to protect my friend. I don't know why you would be spying on her, but it sure seems like you are."

Haruka and Michiru remained silent. Tomoyo shook her head and turned to leave.

"Were you going to apologize for your friend? He scared the daylights out of our friends." Haruka called.

Tomoyo turned back to them and smiled, a realsmile this time. "No, I wasn't planning on it."

Haruka smiled. "Tell him it was funny."

Tomoyo nodded before going to catch up with her friends.

"Okay, we can go home now." Haruka said, getting up. Michiru didn't move. "Let us go, fair lady, to where our beautiful yellow chariot awaits." Haruka held out her hand.

"Oh, Haruka. It's just so tiring. This whole protecting the princess thing." Michiru said.

"I know, come on, let's go."

Sakura sighed dreamily as Touya drove her and Tomoyo home from school. Touya smirked and glanced at her.

"What's up with you?" He asked.

"Oh, nothing." Sakura said. Touya gave her a suspicious look.

"We're here." Touya said. "Get out." He told them in a playful manner.

"Goodbye Onii-san, see you at dinner." Sakura said as she got out. Touya sighed.

"Tomoyo-chan." He said, gently grabbing her hand. "What exactly happened at your party? I haven't seen her like this since…"

Tomoyo took a deep breath and looked down at their hands. "Touya-san, you can't be mad at her."

"No, I won't be." Touya said, slowly letting go of her hand.

Tomoyo looked away for a moment. "He was there. It was a surprise that I arranged."

Touya gave a heavy sigh and turned to look ahead. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Tomoyo smirked. "Touya-san…"

Touya shook his head. "I wouldn't have taken it very well."

"I do believe that Sakura-chan loves him, and that he loves Sakura-chan."

Touya sighed again. "I'll see you at dinner Tomoyo-chan."

"Goodbye Touya-san." Tomoyo walked into the room.

"That was my father, he's going to be late again, so it will just be you, my brother, Yukito-san and me."

"Okay." Tomoyo said.

"Tomoyo-chan, I have a question for you."

"What is it?"

"How did you manage to bring him here? I thought his mother was very serious about him finishing his training."

"She is. But I have been persuading him since January to come for your birthday."

Sakura nodded in understanding. "How did he hide his aura from me? He has such a strong aura that I should have been able to sense it as soon as he was in Japan."

"I'm not sure about that Sakura-chan. I did mention that it would be a surprise though."

"Okay Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said as she walked into the kitchen. Tomoyo smirked to herself. "She didn't even remind me that she doesn't like surprises."

"I win again." Michiru said, puling herself out of the pool.

"As always." Ami said. She wasn't in the least bit irritated as she pulled off her blue racing cap. "I heard that you and Haruka-san went to that park near Kinomoto-san's house. I was wondering how that went."

"They walked by. Daidouji-san may have noticed us but nothing out of the ordinary." Michiru said as she slung her towel over her shoulders.

"Did she say anything?"

"Yes, she did." Michiru replied. She walked into the locker room and started to dry herself off with her towel.

Ami looked at her expectantly. "Well, what did she say?"

"She is worried, she thinks we are spying on Kinomoto-san." Michiru said as she put on a skirt over her bathing suit. She would have a shower at home to get the chlorine off of her skin.

"What else?"

Michiru laughed. "Ami-chan, life is not one enormous interrogation. Curiosity killed the cat."

"Do I look like a cat?" Ami said irritably. Michiru raised an eyebrow and she dropped her eyes to the floor.

"Ami-chan, I understand your thirst for knowledge, but honestly, what good will come of it? Why know every fact this planet has to offer when you are the protector of another? We both know our fate, Ami-chan."

"I'm only trying to help the present situation."

"I question their intentions too but for now we must trust them."

Ami nodded slowly and started to put on her clothes over her bathing suit.

"Do you need a ride home?" Michiru asked.

"No, I will walk, thank you."

"Okay, goodbye Ami-chan." Michiru said as she picked up her duffel bag and left.

"Goodbye Michiru-san."

"Usagi-chan! Usagi-chan!" Luna yelled into Usagi's ear. The blonde was sleeping; she had been sleeping half of the day. "You're late for school!" Luna finally yelled. This was used as a last resort.

Usagi screamed and sat up. "Why wasn't my alarm set!" She whined.

"Maybe because it's the weekend!" Luna said.

Usagi glared at her. "That is pure evil Luna-chan."

"I know but you wouldn't get up."

"Why do you need me to get up anyway?"

"Have you forgotten that we're meeting the other Senshi in the park at noon?"

"What time is it now?"

"Eleven thirty."

Usagi screamed again, making Luna glad that she was able to get out of the room quickly. The teen started to run around the house, getting dressed and making a small breakfast. Finally she was dressed and she ran out into the driveway, only to find nothing there.

"They took the car." Usagi groaned. "What good is having a driver's license if you don't have anything to drive?" Usagi said. She found herself talking to no one as she looked around and found Luna seated in the basket of her pink bicycle.

"I'm not taking that thing." Usagi said.

"It's this or walking and you're late enough as it is!"

Usagi let out a muffled, frustrated sound and got on the bike. She steered it out of her driveway and onto the sidewalk and started peddling madly. Even with all of her hurrying Usagi was still ten minutes late. When she walked to the spot in the park where the Senshi were waiting, they were in a heated argument.

"They aren't trustworthy! None of them are!" Haruka exclaimed.

"But that Kinomoto-san is powerful! She can help us through this!" Minako replied with the same loud volume.

"Why do we continue to meet if every time it ends in a fight?" Usagi asked. Everyone turned to look at her.

"So, Usagi-hime finally decided to come." Haruka spat. Usagi felt as if there was poison flicking off of her tongue with each over-pronounced consonant.

"Don't talk to your future queen that way!" Luna defended.

"Luna-chan…" Usagi said.

"Forget it, I'm not gonna argue with a cat."

"Haruka-chan!" Michiru said.

"You should learn to respect her." Luna countered.

"What? This ditz? I'm not even sure she's cut out to be our queen."

"Haruka!"

Everyone turned to stare at Michiru.

"I will not tolerate this anymore. Our arguing will not solve our problems. Now, what are the issues at hand?" She looked expectantly at Ami.

Ami sighed. "None of us are sure whether we should trust them or not."

"I'm pretty sure." Haruka mumbled.

"We need to spend more time with them." Rei said.

"I wish Mamo-chan was here. He's good at this." Usagi said.

"Maybe we should concentrate on that first." Ami said. "Getting Mamoru-san back. Then we can concentrate on finding out exactly who this Kinomoto Sakura is."

"That's a good idea." Makoto said. "Is it agreed then?"

Everyone gave a positive reply one way or the other, and they all left to go home.

Yin looked at the thin, golden bracelet in his hand closely. It appeared to be just gold wire, but if it could do what his mistress said it could, then it must've had a lot of magic coursing through it.

"It will correct the mistake I made." She said.

Yang brought her hand up to her gold eye, almost touching it.

"Try it. If this didn't work then I have to go back to the drawing board."

Yang looked curiously at Yin as he slipped the bracelet on. Instantly his gold eye changed to pale blue, the same color as the other one, and Yang squeaked

Their mistress smirked. "Good, they work. You will both have to get used to wearing them. You'll be too obvious without them."

Yin and Yang nodded. The young girl walked away, out of their room and the shape-shifters looked at each other.

"I don't understand why we must do this." Yin said.

Yang looked surprised. "It is why we were created, we have no other purpose."

"But Yang, of course we do."

Yang tilted her head to the side in question.

"We were also created to love each other, it could not have happened any other way."

"Oh yes, of course."

Yin smiled and took her hand.

"Let us see if Mamoru-san is awake yet."

Yang giggled and led the way down the hall.

Awww, I love the Yin Yang moments. So far they're my favourite characters to write, and they will continue to be… Anyway, the Senshi have decided to stay away from Sakura & co. for the time being. That sucks…how will this crossover work if everyone hates each other? Oh well, another story for another time, children. Another story for another time. Anyway, then next chapter has some more of the greatness that is Touya, for he is all powerful and great. He is the King of Clow after all. Now I'm babbling and getting stuff mixed with Tsubasa Chronicle.

Well, see you all next time!
