These Chapters are all really short aren't they...? Haha...I'll try to make them longer or something. When I write in chapters, they're always short...Usually I just write continuously, non-ending stories with no break.

XD Well...I hope you like this chapter~

--------------------------------------------------------

Kinomoto was deathly silent beside me. I could feel her body tense, tight in a ball next to me. It was interesting she wasn't shaking like what girls would usually do in these kinds of situations. I knew from the experience of my sisters back in Hong Kong. Even though they were strong pretty girls, they would be scared out of their wits right now.

Yue stopped walking around, which stopped all my train of thought. I waited, listening to dust settling on the ground. It wasn't possible for Yue to have found us. We were hidden pretty well in this dark storage room. The only possible solution was he sensed the magic from my sword, but that could be fixed with a spell…if only I had thought of it before Yue came in.

"What did you want to see me for?" It was the plush toy. He must've come out of hiding.

Kinomoto gasped beside me, but Yue didn't seem to hear. "The girl," He whispered. "Why did you go to her? What is that you've left us to live with her?"

"She saved my life," The toy responded. "And I didn't know how to get back home."

"There's more to it than that." Yue snapped with a death-like tone of voice.

"I don't have any other explanation for you. I speak the truth."

"Half the truth is what it seems more like. If you don't tell me, I'll take the girl out there with me, and you'll never see her again."

"Sure, go ahead. She's not out there anymore if you would care to take a look." The plush toy responded a smirk seemed to be plastered on his face.

"Well, you may have forgotten, that girl of yours is in this cabin isn't she?"

"You stay away from her!" Kero's voice was bristling with anger.

I heard Yue walking towards us now, and that was my cue. I had no idea what they were talking about earlier, but I was on Kinomoto's side right now, even though I felt I should be on Yue's side. I flung the blanket off of myself and faced Yue, sword ready in both hands. Suddenly, a blur of orange flashed before my eyes and a huge beast appeared before me. Its wings spread out majestically before me and the beast looked at me, its amber eyes glowing like fire. "Kid, I'll handle this." It was the plush toy! I blinked startled as his back arched and pounced at Yue.

A snarl from the entrance of the cabin drew my attention. Spinel was in his true form with Daidouji on his back. He bounded over to me and as he did, Kinomoto came out of the tangled mess. She wasn't appalled at any of this, she only stared with a look on her face that told me she wanted to fight along side of the plush toy.

"Stop fighting," She whispered. "Kero! Stop fighting!" She cried out.

Immediately, the fighting stopped and Kinomoto stepped forward in front of Yue. "You were talking about me earlier. What did you mean? I saved Kero from a bunch of little kids a few years ago. He's been with me ever since then. There's no secret in our relationship together. He's like my little pet friend." She said boldly to Yue.

Yue smirked. "You won't be able to cover that up long from Li here, Sakura. I know there's more to it than that. There has to be, or else you would never have meet Keroberos."

"What about all those other kids who was trying to rip Kero apart? I was just passing by and had to save the little kitty, which is what I had thought he was at the time."

"What is he to you now then?"

"An amazing magical creature from some other realm I'd like to go visit. You're from there too aren't you?" Kinomoto asked Yue with such innocence that it made me want to laugh.

"You can say that, I guess." Yue then flung out his arm at Kinomoto and in his hands appeared a bow and arrow. "Aren't you going to fight back?"

""How should I fight back? I have nothing to fight with." Kinomoto whispered, her eyes were full of fear. What was Yue doing? He pulled the string back slightly and unleashed it.

"Sakura-chan!" Daidouji shrieked.

I jumped in front of Kinomoto and fended the arrow off with my sword.

"Didn't you hear what the plush toy said earlier? Stay away from Kinomoto." I lunged forward at Yue and as I attacked him, wings enveloped his entire body causing me to be flung backwards, crashing into the plush toy.

"Yukito-san!" Kinomoto's cry woke me from unconsciousness. Kinomoto was kneeling beside the guy I had seen earlier on the other side of the fence. "Yukito-san…is Yue? The person who had just tried to kill me?" She cried out and shook her head rapidly, disbelieving. "That can't be possible!" She screamed and ran out of the storage room into the park.

After a second of delay, Daidouji ran after her, calling Kinomoto's name after her. "Sakura-chan!" She cried out and paused right at the front steps of the storage room. She knew she wouldn't be able to catch up with Kinomoto. I had watched her in gym class before. She was a pretty fast sprinter, and I was sure I could hold her sprint pace and possibly even more.

Coming to the conclusion, I sprinted off past Daidouji to find Kinomoto. I could see her figure retreating into the park and so, I followed her. It was a horrible decision to leave her alone right now. The horrified expression on her face earlier when Yue changed back into his guise must've scared her.

Spinel was then by my side prancing forward in his beast form. I was about to yell at him for not switching back, but then I realized I was still holding onto my sword. Well then, if anyone saw us, it wouldn't be too good, but right now, we had to find Kinomoto.

A sudden scream pierced through the air causing birds to fly out of their nests in the high trees. Now that wasn't a good sign was it.

"Kinomoto!" I cried out.
