A/N: I'm onto the next chapter like a fish to water. Time for one of those little quirks I'm adding in the first few paragraphs... I'm sure you'll get what I mean. Onto the chapter! Also... Since I don't know what you're reviews are... I'll stay like the last chapter here. On ward!
Chapter 3
Sakura giggled as she looked into the clear tank at all the fish. A group in her class was in an aquarium on a field trip today, for their social studies. Sakura loved aquariums. "Hey, these fish here are really cute!" Sakura called out to her friends before heading over to another fish which expanded in front of her like a balloon.
"Sakura-chan looks like she's having fun." Naoko spoke as she stood with Tomoyo and Rika. Tomoyo of course had a video camera.
"I agree."
"Sakura-chan really loves athletic festivals and field trips." Naoko commented before she glanced to her right and looked at Naruto glaring at a fish. "Naruto-kun doesn't seem in a good mood..." Tomoyo glanced over.
"I know why." Tomoyo said as Sakura walked over. "Think about what happened almost a year ago... And look at the fish." The two tried to think.
"What's wrong Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked walking over. Naruto pointed at the fish in the tank.
"That... The stingray..." Naruto muttered with a glare. "I don't care what they say... I hate them for taking him away..." Sakura sighed with a sad smile. The blond was a fan of the crocodile hunter and Naruto was gutted along with his brother when they heard what happened.
"I thought you were over that..." Naruto shook his head. "Aw..." Sakura said hugging the blond. "It's like Sakura-ane-chan said. It was something that shouldn't have happened but it did. Genpaku-san got over it..."
"But he was so cool... and that took him away... It's not fair..." Naruto muttered. Sakura frowned; Naruto needed something to distract him. Chiharu showed up with the right sentence for such a moment.
"The penguin show is about to begin!" Naruto yelped as he was dragged by at high speed by Sakura.
"Come on guys, hurry!" Sakura called as Naruto yelled as he was dragged off again. All but Tomoyo were stunned by the fact Sakura had moved so fast and dragged Naruto to boot to the door.
Naruto tried to figure out what just happened as Sakura chanted penguins up the escalator. Tomoyo smiled as she watched through a camera. "Sakura looks like she's having fun."
As the show started the group watched with enjoyment as the penguins shot through hoops at high speed in the water, some were even jumping out the water through them. "Sugoi!" Sakura called. "She's so lucky..." Sakura mused as she watched the female diver swimming in the tank. "I want to swim with the penguins, too." Naruto grinned.
"I heard Genpaku say something about working here part time. Sakura-ane-chan should be too somewhere." Sakura gasped.
"Why didn't you say so?!" Naruto scratched the back of his head.
"Did I need to say?" The crowd gasped and the two looked to see the diver stuck underwater. "Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as he pointed to the whirlpool round the ankle. "What's going on?"
The diver gasped as she surfaced and tried to pull onto the hard surface beside her. "My leg!" Sakura gasped as the penguin got close.
"Don't penguin!" Sakura called as penguin got caught. Sakura hit the glass to try and get through.
"Stop Sakura-chan." Tomoyo called in worry.
"I have to save the penguin!" Sakura called in worry as she banged against the screen. Naruto glanced up as Genpaku walked in.
"Ani-chan!" Naruto roared as Genpaku looked to the diver.
"The hells going on?" The diver glanced over.
"One of the penguins is trapped in a whirlpool." Genpaku dropped the buckets of food and hopped in. He glanced left to see Naruto.
'.... Right...' He glanced over to the whirlpool. 'Yeah... This is not normal for sure...' Genpaku's grasped the water and pulled. As it broke the water calmed and the diver sighed with relief. Genpaku thumbed up to Naruto.
"Alright ani-chan!" Naruto cheered as Genpaku surfaced. Sakura sighed with relief.

"Someone almost drowned?" Kero yelled. "You Sakura?" Sakura shook her head as she cooked.
"No, Kero." Naruto called from his seat. "Did you not listen to us?" Naruto stated.
"I'm sorry..." Kero muttered. Naruto stretched.
"Least ani-chan was there. I asked him about it. He found it odd... Oh, and Toya's working there as well. Seems he was supposed to be there but they switched shifts.
"Ani-chan as well? So they're all working together?" Sakura asked.
"Guess so. You seem a little restless Kero..." Kero glanced to Naruto.
"It's because it's been so long since everyone was out of the house before I could leave the room. I'm bound to get a little restless." Naruto nods.
"So what do you think then? Clow card?" Naruto asked as Kero crossed his arms in a sort of meditation.
"Come to think, you're right." Kero muttered. "No way could you drown Sakura." Naruto's head hit the table in annoyance, did Kero even hear him? "You don't have much beyond your athletic abilities." Naruto glanced up and ducked as a spoon went flying.
"What do you mean, not much else?" Sakura growled before going back to her cooking. "I won't give you hot cakes anymore, then!" Sakura threatened. Kero floated beside Sakura as she cooked.
"Oh, Sakura-sama..." Kero chirped as he waited for the hot cakes, best appease the one that feeds him sweet hot cakes. He turned to Naruto. "But I do think you could be right Naruto. Sounds like a clow card." Naruto nods. Sakura glanced over. "Though... It's strange it was a penguin that almost drowned..."
"According to the adults, they were wondering if it was because the plug for the pool got accidentally pulled out." Naruto shook his head to Sakura's words.
"I doubt that... I mean we both saw it right... I've watched whirlpools form near a plug hole... There was no tower to it. Normally it forms from base up. There wasn't a thing for it." Naruto mused as he went over everything. "Plus... You saw ani-chan... He had to force that apart. It's got to be a clow card." Kero nods as Sakura cooked the food. Both went quiet and sighed to the smell of tasty food.
Naruto's mouth watered as Sakura set the food down. "Oh... You've food is as good as Sakura-ane-chans..." Naruto said he looked at the hot cakes. Sakura smiled.
"Arigatou... But Sakura-ane-chan is far better..." Naruto nods.
"True... There are some things she can do that no one can..." Naruto sighed. "Genpaku cooked last night... I think my food moved..."
"What was it?" Sakura asked as she passed Kero a piece.
"Fish and chips... The fish seemed so raw I think the thing blinked at me." Sakura chuckled. "It's not funny; me and Sakura-ane-chan were really worried." Sakura sighed.
"You seemed fine..."
"That's because we waited for ani-chan to eat first... If he lives, it's safe. Even then we pretended to eat it." Sakura sighed.
"I'm home!" Toya called. Naruto grasped Kero and threw him in his bag and went back to eating instantly. Sakura merely blinked in surprise while Kero mentally groaned, he could have been gentler. Naruto and Sakura looked to the doorway as Toya walked through. He glanced between them. "What you done?" Both jumped.
"N-nothing." Both said together. Sakura quickly decided to move the subject along encase Kero did something.
"Ani-chan, you were at the aquarium today, right?" Toya sighed and tapped the note board by the door.
"I wrote it down." Both looked.
"So you were there with ani-chan and ane-chan then?" Naruto asked. "How come you switched round with Genpaku at the last moment." Toya glanced over.
"I had to do something else; otherwise I would have been feeding the penguins."
"Lucky, you guys are so lucky." Sakura chirped, she'd love to feed the penguins.
"Not really..." Toya mused walking over.
"How come?" Sakura asked as Toya glanced down to Naruto's plate and swiped a bite.
"Oi!" Naruto yelled kicking Toya in the back of the leg, Toya collapsed sideways. "My food..." Naruto said as he caught the fork. Toya glared at the blond and Naruto glared back. Toya looked back to the hallway as he stood.
"Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and come in!" Naruto blinked as did Sakura.
"Gomen, gomen." Sakura jumped at the recognised voice. Naruto sighed as he went back to his food. Yukito Tsukishiro, a grey, sliver haired male with glasses that joins Toya at school. Thought Naruto doesn't hate Yukito, he just dislikes him every time Sakura acts differently round him more so lately. Sakura of course has a huge crush on the older male ever since he first came home with Toya that day when the pair first met a couple years ago. It was odd though that someone so nice is friends with Toya, considering Toya's barbaric ways...
"I was taking my shoes off, and it took longer than I thought." Yukito spoke as he walked into the doorway. "Good afternoon, Sakura-chan. Naruto-kun." Sakura quickly faced the teen as her face turned a bit red.
"Yukito-san... Good afternoon." Sakura mumbled as Yukito stood over Naruto's shoulder. Naruto glared, no way was he going for his food.
"Those look delicious." Yukito spoke. "Sakura-chan, you're a really good cook." Sakura's face reddened more and leaned forward as her hair covered her face.
"I-I don't really think so..." Naruto huffed as he ate his food.
"Yeah." Toya spoke. "She really isn't that good." Sakura huffed, if Toya had been standing closer.
"U-um..." Sakura muttered as Yukito walked round.
"Yes?" Yukito mused with a smile.
"I-if you don't mind, would you like... Some hot cakes?" Sakura asked nervously.
"Is that all right? You bought that with your allowance, right?" Sakura nods.
"It's all right... Right Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked as she found Naruto gone. "Naruto-kun?"
"Later!" Naruto called out as the door shut. Toya blinked at the blonds raced exit.
"I'll bring it up to my brother's room in a bit!" Sakura chirped with a smile. Kero sighed upstairs, the blond was really heavy handed with him. He's not a plushy.

"Damn stupid Yukito..." Naruto muttered as he walked along the path. "Every time... Every time he shows up... Sakura-chan acts all strange... Damn him!" Naruto yelled before sighing sadly. "Why should I even care...?" Naruto muttered. "Why's it different to any other time..." Naruto sighed. "What's wrong with me...?" Naruto groaned as he grasped his hair. "Argh, I'm going home to read."
The next day came and at lunch time Sakura was wondering about the playground, going over what she had talked to Kero about, she'd been so focused she'd not noticed Naruto's lack of response to her today. Her card was watery, a high level magic spell in the clow cards. She wasn't going to be able to take on watery inside water. Since she wouldn't be about to see watery with her eyes. Then the problem was even if she pulled it out the water. If it disperses into tiny pieces, they couldn't control it. Sakura sighed, how was she going to capture something that wasn't solid?
Then she had more trouble, watery was an offensive card, and seems to have quite a temper. With only, windy, shadow and fly to use. It wasn't enough according to Kero. Even thought windy is a high level magic... The cards too kind. So it's no match for the fierce watery.
"You don't look so cheerful right now, Sakura-chan." Sakura glanced from the small pond to Tomoyo.
"N-no, I'm fine..." Tomoyo stepped closer and took Sakura's hand in her own.
"It looks like a great challenge, so typical for upholders of justice, has fallen on your shoulders." Sakura didn't really know how to reply to that, so she just smiled.
Sakura from there explained everything to Tomoyo, Sakura also wanted Naruto's opinion but he didn't come back after lunch. Seems he'd gone home early about an ill stomach or something. As Sakura and Tomoyo went home after school through the park Sakura skated a head and turned round to Tomoyo. "Tomoyo-chan."
"Hai?" Tomoyo asked as Sakura smiled.
"Thanks for listening to my story." Tomoyo smiled back.
"That smile is best on you, Sakura-chan." Sakura giggled. "Oh yes, this is for you, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said as she passed a cell phone over. It was bright pink in colour. "Something new from my mother's company... This one's for you, and I even have one for Kero-chan also... I'll go to Naruto's to give him his... I need to see him anyway." Sakura glanced at the pair of phones.
"Are you sure, that I can borrow these?" Sakura asked surprised at the gifts.
"Of course." Tomoyo smiled. "My mother wants to know if they're easy to use, as well."
"Thanks for worrying about me." Sakura mused with a smile. They parted ways at the end of the park gate and Sakura skated off home.
"Naruto-kun's been odd today... I wonder what's wrong." Sakura wondered as she skated round the corner. She saw someone walking and tried to stop, only to hit the figure and fall. Lucky she was caught in time. Sakura sighed. "Gomen ne." Sakura gasped as she looked up to the face of Yukito.
"Are you all right, Sakura-chan?" Sakura's face lit up stunned with a red tint.
"Y-yukito-san!" Sakura stammered out before being helped up.
"It's dangerous if you don't watch where you're going." Yukito commented as he picked up his bag.
"H-hai... Gomen..." Yukito stood straight with a smile.
"Arigatou for the hot cakes yesterday. They were delicious."
"N-no, it's nothing." Sakura stammered out again as Yukito looked down the path.
"You're out late today. Are you coming back from practice?" Sakura looked up to Yukito. "I thought you were a member of the cheerleading squad." Sakura nods.
"H-hai."
"I heard from Toya, that he was hit by your baton while you were practicing at home." Sakura growled mentally, what had her brother been saying about her? "To say thanks for the hot cakes." Yukito spoke, interrupting Sakura's train of thought. "Would you like to go out for a nice meal with me sometime?" Sakura looked to Yukito shocked with a smile.
"Are you sure?"
"I found a place that serves pretty good food. I'll meet you at Penguin Park tomorrow, at one." Sakura nods.
"Hai!" With that Sakura scurried off home with a smile. Yukito walked off as well while behind the corner Naruto sat with his back to it. He'd was looking for Sakura and spotted her, only to find Yukito there. Naruto huffed and walked home. Sakura Haruno greeted the blond when he arrived.
"Where you been Naruto? I thought you weren't feeling well... I had to send Tomoyo home saying you were in bed asleep." Naruto didn't reply as he went to his room. Sakura blinked. "Naruto?" She walked up stairs and found Naruto lying fall on the bed. Not his usual style. "What's wrong?" Sakura asked as she sat down.
"I don't know..." Naruto grumbled. Genpaku walked in.
"Yo Gaki what's...." Genpaku shut his mouth at Sakura's glare. He sweated and walked backwards. "Maybe later..." He muttered shutting the door. 'Damn that was scary.'
Sakura lay down beside the blond and messed with his hair. "You can talk to me right? You're big sister. I won't say anything; it's just between me and you..." Naruto glanced to Sakura.
"I don't know how to explain it..." Naruto muttered.
"Then start off with the problem first."
"Yukito-san..." Naruto grumbled. Sakura blinked.
"What's wrong? He's not doing something wrong is he?" Naruto shook his head. "Then what has he done?"
"Every time he's around, Sakura goes all weird... It's begun to bug me lately..." Sakura smiled. She seemed to be connecting the dots already.
"True... Sakura-chan does act differently... Why it it now do you begin to dislike it?" Naruto shook his head. Like he knew why.
"I was going to see Sakura-chan, that's where I went... But Yukito-san was there and both are going out for food tomorrow..." Naruto grumbled as he clenched his fist. Sakura sighed with a smile.
"So you're angry because Sakura's going out on a date with Yukito-san." Naruto didn't reply. "Cheer up Naruto-chan... Look, how about you come with me tomorrow. Me and Toya will be working at the aquarium in the cafe area. Genpaku's on other duties with the penguin tank begin sorted."
"I don't know..." Sakura ruffled the blond hair.
"How about I get you an ice-cream as well." Naruto glanced left.
"Chocolate?" Sakura nods with a smile.
"Anything you want Naruto-chan." Naruto sat up.
"Arigatou Sakura-ane-chan!" Naruto chirped as the pair hugged. Sakura smiled lightly, these were what she enjoyed most. The sibling trust between them, Sakura glanced over to Naruto's array of objects and blinked as she stood. Naruto watched and sweated as Sakura grabbed tensa Zangetsu.
"Naruto-chan... Why's this all dirty?" Sakura asked annoyed. Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
"Well ugh..." Sakura popped the blade open and noticed the marks.
"I thought we all made this clear to you... You're allowed these swords as long as you don't use them or me, Genpaku or Ray-san is there to watch you. What were you doing to damage it? Was this when you damaged your mask?" Naruto sighed with a nod. "Naruto... We don't want you hurting yourself."
"I wasn't going to..." 'I was hurting that shadow thing...' Sakura sat down.
"If you do it again... We we'll have to take them off you Naruto. We'd be in trouble if something happened to you. Remember, they're not toys and you could get hurt or someone else."
"I know... Gomen..." Sakura put a kiss on Naruto's forehead.
"I hope so... I'll pass this to Ray and say that you damaged it. I won't say you did it with no supervision."
"Arigatou..." Naruto muttered with a smile. Sakura smiled as she stood.
"Come on... I'll go make something for you to eat." Naruto smiled and jumped off his bed.
"Yatta!" Sakura smiled.
"Oh, and Tomoyo gave me something to give to you... I'll show you later."

Naruto sighed as he sat looking at the large tower of fish. His drink resting beside him as he read his manga. "Feeling better Naruto-chan?" Sakura asked as she sat down. Naruto nods. "What you reading this time?"
"One piece. I haven't caught up yet with the current volumes... So I'm trying to catch up. It suits the place, reading about pirate in an aquarium." Sakura smiled.
"Well keep enjoying that then... I better get back to work. Want a drink?"
"Hai!" Naruto replied with a smile as he went back to reading his book.
"Toya!" Naruto's book flopped to the table as his face blinked and he looked up to see Sakura Kinomoto and Yukito up above to his left. Naruto quickly pulled up his hoodie, he wasn't really wanting to talk. Though he did glanced down to the base as he watched pair be seen to by Toya.
"So this is what you do here ani-chan?" Sakura asked as Toya put the small menus down.
"Yeah... Sakura's dragged me to do this... Though I guess it's a good thing since now Genpaku's had to go clean up storage. Seems they're going to drain all the water from the tanks and do an inspection." Sakura blinked, which means waterys gone somewhere now.
"I guess Genpaku-san's a little glad not to be working in the fridge now." Toya sighed as he stood.
"Not really, there is other food besides for the penguins that's stored in the refrigerators... Better him freezing than me. Though unlike him, I get to make snow-cones." Toya finished with a sigh.
"The strawberry-milk snow-cones here are really delicious." Yukito mused to Sakura. Then something clicked in the began to work through Sakura's thoughts.
'Snow-cones... Ice?' Sakura mused glancing to Toya.
"So, can I have two of those?" Yukito asked as Toya noted it down.
"Yeah, yeah..."
'What was that?' Naruto wondered as he looked to the fish tank. All the fish just scattered for some reason.
"What's up Naruto-chan?" Naruto jumped at Sakura's called.
"N-nothing ane-chan." Naruto said turning round. Sakura looked at him questioningly.
"Okay..." Naruto sighed as Sakura walked off. A crack echoed and Naruto blinked and looked up. The top of the tank shattered and came crashing down. Naruto looked over the edge as Sakura ran up.
"What just..."Sakura watched as the water began to fill the whole bottom floor. Yukito's head popped up. "Yukito-san! You okay?" Yukito looked up.
"I'm fine Sakura-san... But..." Yukito said looking round.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto said jumping in. Sakura glance down.
"Yukito, get out of there, I'll help Naruto." Sakura said following.
Naruto glanced about as he looked, but it was so blurry in the water. He saw a figure in white. 'Sakura-chan!' Naruto swam over and grabbed her arm and began to pull. 'Why aren't you budging?' Naruto looked forward. 'Could it be...' Naruto swam forward down passed Sakura. 'It's got to be that thing from the other day.' Naruto grunted as he moved he could hear the swirling sound. 'Found it!'
Sakura glanced about as she looked for the pair. 'Where are they?' She looked left and then right as something floated round. 'Shit!' Sakura swam over and grabbed the figure before surfacing. It was Sakura Kinomoto.
"Sakura!" Toya yelled as Sakura swam over. "Is she okay?" Sakura glanced back to the water, Naruto...
"He's not come up... Naruto!" Sakura called as she passed Sakura to Toya and dived back down. Tomoyo with Kero under her hat ran over as Toya sorted Sakura out.
The door on the bottom floor exploded and the water rushed down to the basement. As the water dropped down in leve Sakura was able to stand and reached down to pull Naruto out. "Naruto, Naruto come... Shit..." Sakura growled as she moved Naruto to the table as it surfaced. Sakura could here Sakura Kinomoto up above as Sakura did c.p.r on the blond. Naruto coughed water out as he came too. Sakura tapped the back of the blond as he gasped.
"Wh-where's... Sakura-chan..." Naruto panted out. He thought he was done for there. Sakura smiled.
"She's okay you little idiot..." Naruto looked to Sakura. "Don't go doing something like that again okay... You'll worry me too much..." Naruto grinned sheepishly.
"Naruto!" Naruto and Sakura looked up as soaked Sakura Kinomoto looked down. "You okay?!" Naruto nods.
"I'm fine." Sakura Haruno sighed.
"Good thing the basement door opened... Uh oh..." Naruto glanced to Sakura. "Genpaku was down stairs...
At the basement floor, Genpaku sat dazed against the wall as fish flopped beside him. "What just happened?" He mumbled out.
After getting Genpaku up stairs and even though he was a little stunned after being blasted down stairs by half a tank of water, made a call for Ray to come pick Naruto and Sakura up so they could go home and get sorted out. Genpaku, Toya and Sakura and those who worked there dealt with all the water.
Naruto and Sakura sat on the second floor in towels with Tomoyo and Kero sitting with them as they waited for Ray.
"Why you guys here anyway?" Sakura asked Tomoyo and Kero first. Both chuckled nervously at the fact the events had brought them out of hiding. "Why you here also Naruto-kun?" Naruto glanced to Sakura.
"Just spending time with ane-chan..." Naruto muttered. "You feeling better Sakura-chan?" Sakura nods.
"Hai... A-arigatou Naruto-kun..." Sakura said with a smile. "I couldn't escape because watery had me... But you... Thanks for saving me." Naruto smiled.
"I'm your friend... What am I going to do?" Sakura smiled as the pair looked over to the door to the room. Ray walked over to the group.
"You guy's okay? Sakura, Naruto?" Both nods. He sighed in relief. "That's good... Fujitaka was worried, but I told him I'd make sure you two were fine..." Ray glanced right to Genpaku walking up. "How you doing gaki..." Genpaku sighed.
"Just a little stunned... I didn't expect the door to open up to a wall of water. But I'm still standing. They're closing up the place so me and Sakura are going to make our way home." Ray nods.
"I take these three home and we'll see you there... Naruto, Sakura, Tomoyo... Come on, let's go." The three nod and followed.
"See you in a bit ani-chan." Naruto called as Genpaku nods. Genpaku sighed as he crossed his arms.
The group took the car to Ray's in silence and once there. Naruto was sent to the bathroom to wash up and Sakura was sent to Sakura's bathroom to do the same, since both had been soaked in whatever was in the tank. Ray went about getting Sakura something to wear, so Sakura Haruno's old clothing did the trick since he was too lazy to have time to get rid of it. Naruto was left clothing as well.
Genpaku and Sakura arrived home to find all three kids to be sitting in the lounge with hot chocolate. "Man... He's treating you guy's nicely..." Genpaku said as he walked upstairs.
"Be sure to save us some..." Sakura called following.
"Hai!!" All three called out.
"Ray-san's really nice Naruto-kun." Tomoyo spoke. "This is the first time I've been inside properly. It's... Lovely here." Naruto grinned. The house design looked like the inside came right from a log cabin. The floor was wooden with a large bear carpet in the middle. The sofa Tomoyo, was seated on was by the wall facing the fireplace. The TV to the right next to the window. Naruto and Sakura were seated on the sofa that sat side on to the fireplace. Ray had even been nice enough to get it going. It was even a proper log burner. The walls were all covered in curved wood and behind them was the dining area that opened up onto the back garden.
"Ray-san loves to get his hands into D.I.Y when he can on weekends. He's been working on this place since we moved here. It because he does this that he's got the money to work on the next one." Naruto mussed as he drank his hot chocolate.
"We still need to deal with watery tonight." Kero whispered as he sat by Tomoyo. "We can't let watery keep doing this. Sakura, we need to do it tonight at best."
"But..." Sakura muttered. "I still haven't figured out how to beat watery yet..." Sakura sighed. Kero was about to speak when Genpaku yawned as he walked in, in vest and sweatpants. Kero flopped down as Genpaku sat down in front of the fire.
"Ah... How I love a proper fire... Makes up for me forget having to spend all that time down in that freezer..." Genpaku said as she stretched. "I felt like my blood was going to freeze down there it's that cold. The ice was almost hanging right off me."
'Ice...' Sakura and Naruto mussed. "That's it!" Both spoke together. Both looked to each other and Genpaku looked at them oddly.
"What's it?"

Night fall came and in the dead of night, three children ran through the aquarium in silence. Sakura was leading in a white and blue outfit that looked like a joker from a pack of playing cards. Yellow balls hung off the tips of the outfit. Naruto followed along in blue shorts with a red vest. A yellow straw hat and sandals with the outfit.
"Why you dressed like that?" Sakura whispered as she, Naruto and Kero ran left round the corner. Tomoyo stopped and recorded them taking off.
"What better than to dress as the future pirate king when facing a card that is made of water." Naruto stated as he ran up the stairs with Sakura.
"I thought he couldn't' swim?"
"I never said I was 'the' future pirate king..." Naruto said with a smile, Sakura smiled back as they entered the room that was full of tanks of water. "You think you'll be fast enough?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know... I hope so..." Naruto nods. Though he didn't say it, he'd jump off if Sakura wasn't face enough. Once they found the tank with strong magical energy, Sakura pulled out her cell. "Tomoyo-chan. You ready?"
"Hai." Sakura glanced to Naruto who nods. Show time, Sakura jumped up with her staff in hand. "Watery! Come get me if you can!" Sakura challenged as the water burst to life. "Fly!" Naruto jumped on and both were off. Both were out the door and down the hall.
"Damn, were not fast enough..." Naruto grumbled as both took off down the escalator. The water scattered and began to spray them. Sakura faltered as the pair flew. "Damn it, I'm just useless here!" Naruto yelled as he rolled off. Sakura flew off faster as Naruto rolled to the side.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled back.
"Go!" Naruto called as he took off. Kero followed the blond. Sakura rushed down the hall and down the next flight of stairs to the basement where she stopped outside a door. Watery stopped as it readied to attack, Sakura threw her next card out.
"Windy!" Sakura yelled as she summoned the power of her card. Windy whipped round the pair as it drew the fridge door open. Watery was fighting the pull of the winds flow and had only one was to go and Sakura stood in the firing line. It shot forward.
"Sakura!" Naruto called as ran down the hall from Sakura's left; he jumped and pulled Sakura aside as the water shot into the room. Naruto slid on his back as Sakura sighed as she landed with the blond. Tomoyo looked at watery's true form and shut the door.
"Nice going Sakura!" Kero cheered as the pair stood. "If you freeze water, it's easy to capture it!" Sakura nods with a sigh of relief.
"I thought watery had us back then... Arigatou Naruto-kun." Naruto grinned.
"It's nothing." Sakura smiled back.
"Genpaku-san reminded of something Yukito-san mentioned. If Genpaku-san wasn't cleaning the fridge I wouldn't have remembered. Arigatou too, Tomoyo-chan."
"I'm glad I could be of use to you." Tomoyo glanced from her camera lens to her watched. "Now, it should be about done..." They opened the door to a frozen statue.
"Man... Watery sure looks scary..." Naruto mussed as Sakura sealed the card away.
"Heh... Ani-chan may have had a really bad job today... But it's thanks to him and Yukito-san that we sealed watery right Sakura-chan?" Naruto said with a grin. Naruto blinked as he didn't get a reply. "Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked glancing over. His face deadpanned at the girls face.
"Looks like Sakura's frozen this time..." Kero mused as Tomoyo stepped round with her camera. Naruto huffed as he pulled his hat forward.
'Damn you Yukito-san...'

Hehe... I liked this one. Now, I'm sure I think this came out quiet well... Naruto has always seen Sakura as a friend for as long as he can remember. I would think after recent events with the rise of the clow cards. Naruto's going to be unknowingly jealous of sakura's reaction to yukito.
I hope this came out really well to and I enjoyed the older sister role Sakura played.
Sigh, the biggest trouble of this is having two Sakura's... It's troublesome as hell... I wish I knew what I was thinking when I did this.
Also, when I saw the stingray in the anime. I couldn't resist. I'm miss that guy so much, he was so cool and I really was gutted because I wanted to go see him in person...
I guess I can't really say much more but review what you think. And onto chapter 4! Oh and remember, double release for path to a warrior Saturday for fanfictioners.
