Everyone! Just getting out another update. Also would people message me and tell me what they like the best about Yue or Julian or both? I'm having a hard decision in my story about what to do with them. But I can't tell more then that because it would give away the ending and that would be bad.

Last Time:

"You know he's been really grumpy lately. More so than usual" Kero said as they exited the library room and the cards went back to their place in the open Sakura book.

"I know Kero. I know." Sakura murmured distractedly, touching the Star cards reveling in the steadfast energies they sent out to her. The doorbell rang downstairs. "I'll get it!" Sakura yelled dashing out her bedroom and down the stairs. Kero spun dizzily where Sakura had rushed by him.

Sakura yanked open the door just as Madison was lifting her hand to ring again. "Madison hi!" Sakura said cheerfully.

"Hi Sakura." Madison said stepping into the house. "Are you ready for a day of spa treatment?" she asked that twinkle in her violet eyes lighting up dangerously.

"Yeah…" Sakura said nervously. Lee had finally got up the courage and asked Sakura out. Today was that day.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Madison asked clamping onto Sakura's arm. "Let's go!" dragging Sakura up the stairs, she called down to Julian who had just come down to have breakfast. "Julian could you be a dear and bring up that purple duffle bag and the bag with the hanger sticking out? Thank you!" because Julian was so nice he brought up the two bags. Madison took the bags from him and said "Thank you Julian."

"No problem." He replied, smiling, glad that he could help. Then Madison firmly shut the door in his face. None of the household saw Sakura for the rest of the day.

Madison closed the door and dropped the duffle bag onto Sakura's bed. As Madison began taking things out, Sakura asked Kero, "Could you leave the room please?"

"Why should I" Kero asked stubbornly.

"Sakura and I are going to be doing a lot of girly stuff today." Madison said trying to get Kero to leave.

"I want to try out my new game!" Kero protested defiantly crossing his small arms.

Sakura was rapidly losing patience with her sun guardian. She stalked over to Kero, while he tried to get away but he was back into a corner. Sakura picked Kero by the scruff of the neck, grabbed a handful of hard candies from the bowl she kept on the top of her desk, opened the door magically, flung Kero out with one hand and with the other tossed out the candies right after. Kero landed on the hall floor with a crash. Kero covered his head as head candy rained down on him. Sakura slammed the door with a "Don't come back until I say so."

Kero looked up at Sakura's looming door with a 'what did I do?' expression on his face. A deep laugh sounded from the bottom of the stairs. Kero looked down in surprise. There leaning, because his lithe frame shook so hard, on the railing was Julian. Julian had made it to the bottom of the stairs before Sakura had unceremoniously dumped Kero out her door. Clutching his middle, Julian laughed and laughed. "What's with you?" Kero asked sourly, gingerly picking himself up and gathering the candy scattered on the floor.

"I'm not, hahaha! The one, hahaha! Laughing! Hahahaha!" Julian protested between laughs, trying to breathe.

"Sure you aren't." Kero said turning around to pick up a brightly colored candy. What Kero didn't notice was that Julian's eyes, instead of being a clear blue, were a steel gray. They kept flickering in color as Julian tried to gain control over his laughing.

Sakura slammed the door shut and heaved an exasperated sigh. Looking over at Madison she found the raven-haired girl bent over with silent laughter. "I know I shouldn't have done that but sometimes he makes me so aggravated." Sakura said shrugging her shoulders, a smile coming over her features. As Madison continued to shake, Sakura finally burst into giggles.

After they had calmed down, Madison picked up a sweet pea scented shampoo and conditioner. She also gave Sakura a pouf with a black raspberry vanilla scented body wash. "Here take these, wash, wash your hair, dry it and come back." She instructed Sakura. Sakura nodded meekly and left the room. Madison began pulling magazines and other essentials out of her bag.

Sakura came back twenty minutes later. Coming back into the room, Sakura saw that Madison had everything ready to go. "Come sit over here." Madison said pointing to the seat in front of Sakura's vanity. Sakura sat. "Now first things first." Madison said picking up a magazine, she handed it to Sakura. "A girl's got to have the perfect do. Pick out the one you like."

Sakura took the magazine and started to flip through it. "To fluffy, to plain, to fancy…" she muttered flicking to one page and the next. Then she found it. "This one!" Sakura exclaimed, jabbing her finger at the glossy page. Madison nodded her approval and picked up a curling iron she had plugged in.

"Let's get started shall we?" Madison asked sweetly putting in a cd. "While I start on your hair, you start on your nails." Madison handed Sakura a small bottle. Sakura sighed and started unscrewing the nail polish bottle top.

The day past relatively slow for Kero. After being chucked out of Sakura's room, he went to talk to Julian but he had called Ruby and they were in the living room watching a movie called Beauty and the Beast or something like that. Aiden was working in his study downstairs; Tori was talking to his girlfriend or rather he was listening and she was doing the talking. Kero sighed, going to watch the sappy movie that Julian and Ruby were watching. "Oh, come on! You can get him! You're a beast! He's only human!" Kero called at the TV, at the end of his seat, watching the Beast and Gaston fight in the movie. Ruby giggled as Julian smiled at the sun guardian and tightened his arm around Ruby's shoulders.

Tori came into the living room; he sat in a chair, with a sigh. Julian paused the movie. "Hey!" Kero said.

Julian smiled "Trouble with Mei again?"

"No, not really." Tori answered rubbing his still aching ear. "She wants to see me really badly and after talking to her cousin about what's happening over here, she really wanted to come. But I told her it was to dangerous."

Julian and Ruby winced. "I can see a storm coming."

"Yeah. Man, did I get an earful after suggesting that." Tori said looking at the still figures on the TV screen.

"Did she listen?" Ruby asked from next to Julian on the couch.

"No." Tori said. "She's coming around the first week of October. Her school has off that week. Then she's coming on the next flight from Hong Kong."

Julian and Ruby laughed. The doorbell rang. Julian glanced at his watch. "I bet that's Lee. He's taking Sakura out tonight." Tori grumbled, scowling.

Aiden came past the room. "Tori be nice." He admonished, opening the door. "Hello Lee, you're here for Sakura right? Come in and let me call her." Aiden stood at the bottom of the stairs. "Sakura, someone's here for you!" He called up the stairs.

"I'll be right there!" Sakura's voice came floating down.

"She's been up there all day with Madison. No one has seen her all day." Julian said coming from the living room with Tori and Ruby following.

"Seriously?" Lee asked.

"Seriously, and listen kid, you'd better take good care of Sakura or so help me-" Tori was stopped as Madison came running down the stairs, camcorder in hand.

"Here she comes!" Madison called gleefully, wiping up the camcorder to her face.

Everyone looked up the stairs. Sakura chose that time to make her entrance. She stepped delicately to the top step and stopped. Everyone seemed to stop breathing in shock. Lee positively drooled. Sakura wore a fitted, halter dress. A gorgeous emerald color, it matched her eyes, the halter straps were embroidered with shiny jade seed beads. The skirt flared out at the waist and fell to her knees, in waves of shiny, satin, emerald colored material. Jade colored gloves, went to mid-quarter length on Sakura's arms and that was just the outfit. Sakura's long auburn hair was curled into long ringlets then swept into a crown of curls at the top of her head. Two long curls were left free and hung over her shoulders. Sakura wore silver stilettos, on both sides there was a small green charm in the shape of dragon, simple silver oval earrings hung in her ears, a silver star hung on a green satin ribbon choker around her neck. Light make-up finished the effect as Sakura made her way downstairs. When Sakura reached the bottom she stood there uncertainly. "Well?" she asked when no one still spoke.

Madison nudged Lee who stumbled forward, eyes never leaving her face. "T-this is f-for y-you." He said stuttering slightly, awkwardly holding out a corsage of white roses, nestled in green ribbon.

"Thank you." Sakura said, looking him over as well. It seemed that they were the only two people in the room. Lee was dressed in a black shirt and suit. The only color was the emerald colored tie he wore on Madison's insistence.

Lee slipped the rose corsage onto Sakura's slim wrist. Madison cleared her throat. Sakura and Lee looked at her in surprise; they had forgotten that she was there. "Your chariot awaits." Madison said eyes twinkling in their way.

Sakura walked over to Madison an enveloped her in the biggest hug she could give. "Thank you." She whispered to her one and only best friend. Sakura pulled away, Lee took her hand, and they went out the door Ruby held open for them, beaming. The white limousine gleamed in the dying sunlight. Madison had offered Lee the use of one of her limos, for their night out on the town. Lee held the backdoor open and grasped Sakura's hand in his as he helped her into the vehicle. As the car drove off, Ruby closed the door with a soft click.

Aiden turned around and walked away, muttering something about needing to do work, wiping hurriedly at his eyes.

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

Tori looked like he had just gotten sucker punched. He turned around and headed back to the couch. Julian followed him, to sit next to him and talk softly in his ear; while Tori muttered an answer or two.

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first

Ruby, Kero, and Madison were the only ones left. "I haven't know Sakura long, but it seems that she just grew up really fast, just now." Ruby said looking in the living room. Tori had now put his face into his hands even as Julian talked even more urgently next to him.

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time...

Kero nodded, speechless for once. "I need food." He said simply flying into the kitchen.

Madison nodded absently as she rewound the tape on her camera. "Why not? I could make some kiddy cocktails." Ruby answered "and you could show me the tape you just made."

Madison answered her. "I'll help." As they went into the kitchen.

As for the loving couple, I'll leave that to your imaginations.
