A/n: Time for sparks to fly in chapter 6. I plan to try start chapter 7 before it's too late. I don't want to leave you hanging. Well, time to begin!
Update... Since its past Tuesday. I will be finishing ccsn here and be going back to warrior. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Enjoy.
"Matte!"
Hm? Oh Naruto-chan and Sakura-chan. What's the trouble?
Naruto: "If you're ending it here... We demand an ending theme."
Nani? But I was waiting till about episode 25 before I did my ending and new intro.
Sakura: "True, but since there are 70 episodes... Would it not be more fun to do a new one every ten?"
That's a waste of my time... We wait till 25... (Glance) Stop with the puppy dog eyes... (Glance) Both of you...
Both: "Please..."
No...
Both: "Please..."
'Damn these two...' Fine we'll end it that way for you. But I get to decide.
Both: "Nani! But I wanted my one!"
Well, since you two can't decide. I will, or should we go back to no...?
(Whine in defeat)
Excellent... Begin!
Chapter 6
It's now mid June, the group were now enjoying the beginnings of the summer and only just recently, the team encountered the card known as SILENT. A card that was residing in a museum of all places due to liking the quiet building, if it wasn't for the help of a young child on a mission to fix the painting silent was residing in. The group would never have taken so long to capture the card.
Now as we get back to the story...
"Hmm... a foretelling dream?" Naruto asked as he followed alongside Sakura. Sakura nods as they headed for school.
"Kero-chan said it was, since it doesn't matter if my magic is big or small. He said I may even meet this person in future." Naruto mused lightly.
"What's the person look like?" Naruto then asked as he glanced to Sakura.
"A young lad, in a Chinese outfit. Everything went the same in my dream. Tokyo tower was there with all the objects falling... Kero-chan... Only this boy was in my place." Naruto crossed his arm as he rolled along.
"I don't like that... But all we can do is wait." Sakura nods as they take a short cut. They arrived before too long and their teacher went through registration some time later.
"Today, I'll introduce you to a new transfer student." Their teacher spoke, which got the class interested.
"Weird..." Naruto muttered. "For someone to join this point through..." Tomoyo and Sakura nods. The door opened and a brown haired lad with brown eyes walked in. As the teacher wrote down his name Naruto couldn't help but notice. Neither could Tomoyo and a nervous Sakura. "Sakura-chan... Is he staring at you? Or am I mistaken?"
"H-he's..." Sakura muttered as Naruto glared at the lad. What this guy got with Sakura?
"Syaoran Li. He's from hong kong." Their teacher spoke as he finished writing Li's name. "Everyone, be nice to him."
"With a face like that... Who would...?" Naruto muttered as Li seemed to continue on with his serious face.
"Now, his seat... Let's see..." The teacher said looking over the class. "The seat behind Sakura is empty." Li walked on down the row of chairs and stopped, looking at Sakura with that heated glare. Sakura glanced away trying to find something to do as she got nervous. Naruto glared.
"Oi, Li." Naruto spoke. Li looked at the blond as both glared at each other. "You're seat's here... See, its 'empty'..." Naruto stated as he held his arms out to the chair. "I think you need glasses man." A set of snickering echoed as Li huffed and sat down. Naruto didn't like this guy, especially since he wouldn't stop glaring at Sakura. So it was time for drastic measures...
'F-for some reason, I feel a really heated gaze...' Sakura mused nervously. A pop noise and Li flinched as a small wad of paper hit his face. He glared to his right while Naruto was busy twiddling his thumbs and acting innocent. As Li glared forward Naruto formed another small ball in his hand and fired it from his thumb tip. Something is ani-chan had taught him. It was a simple move to annoy and distract people while it looked like you didn't do a thing. But Naruto didn't care if he was caught by Li. He wasn't about to let Li continue to do what he was doing.
Lessons moved on by and Naruto made Li target practice throughout the morning till lunch. "Man... I hate that Li guy..." Naruto muttered as he walked with Sakura down the stairs. "You okay?" Sakura nods.
"I am... Though you shouldn't be doing that." Naruto smirked.
"I'm not about to see you in trouble... I don't care what happens really. As long as the teachers don't see I will do what I can... It's like ani-chan said... You've got to be good not to get caught." Sakura sighed as a hand rested on her shoulder.
"Excuse me..." Naruto glared over his left at Li. "Follow me..." Li glared at the blond before walking passed. Naruto and Sakura glanced to each other. Sakura followed as Naruto sighed, he didn't like where this was going. They followed Li out back by the school wall away from everyone. Naruto and Sakura stood a meter from Li who was holding a small star point board at his side.
"Okay, Li... What do you want?" Naruto asked as Li put the board to his chest.
"Imperial king of gods, thy divinity watches over all four corners." Naruto and Sakura glanced to each other as Li held the board out flat. "Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, wind, lightning." The board glowed and the centre spun round. "Imperial king of god, thy divinity watches over all four corners. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, wind, lightning. Whirling blades of lightning answer my call!" The board glowed and a beam fired forward at Sakura. Naruto tensed as Sakura gasped nervously. Li scowled and jumped back. "Just as I thought! You have clow cards in your possession!" Sakura looked on nervously.
"H-how do you...?" Sakura asked as Naruto watched Li carefully.
"The compass was created to search for clow cards." Naruto glanced to the object and then Li as Li held out his hand. "Hand them over!" Naruto stepped in front of Sakura as Sakura nervously stepped back.
"W-what?"
"The clow cards..." Li asked. Naruto smirked.
"Sorry, but Sakura and I kind of have a duty for Kero-chan to gather the clow cards." Li looked to Naruto.
"I have no interest in you... Kero-chan?" Li asked as he realised what Naruto said. "Keroberosu? The beast of the seal?"
"The very same." Naruto stated. Li glanced away as he pondered.
"If Keroberosu is around... Why is it letting such children hold onto the cards?" Naruto growled as his eyes narrowed. Sakura glanced away.
"Kero-chan... Doesn't have enough magic power to be bigger, that's why..." Sakura muttered.
"The symbol for Keroberosu is the sun." Li spoke up interrupting Sakura. "It rules over 'fire' and 'earth'. You don't have either of those cards?" Sakura shook her head.
"How long have you been searching?"
"Since... April..." Sakura answered as Li narrowed his eyes.
"You've been searching for 2 months... And you still haven't gotten them all?" Sakura glanced down.
"Yeah, we haven't found them all yet." Naruto answered. "They don't exactly come out screaming 'I'm over here!' Do they?" Naruto stated in annoyance. "But, why do you know about the clow cards? It's not exactly common knowledge..."
"That's none of either of your business... Including you." Li said pointing at Naruto. "I don't know why you're even here; you don't exactly have any magic..." Naruto smirked.
"True... But I work as Sakura's partner in gathering the clow cards. It's been like that since the first one."
"Well that won't matter now... I'm gathering the rest. So hand them over!" Sakura jumped in surprise and put her hand protectively on her pocket. Naruto held out his right arm and Li glanced to Naruto.
"There are such things as manners... But even then, we won't hand them to you... Sakura-chan... Please, step back..." Naruto said stepping fully in front of Sakura. "I've wanted to do this all day..." Naruto said as he got into his fighting stance.
"Naruto-kun... Ane-chan told you not too..." Sakura replied. Naruto tensed as Li got into a fighting stance. "Naruto-kun..."
"You'll have to forgive me Sakura-chan... But this guy doesn't seem to understand the word no..." Naruto said rushing forward. Naruto threw a right and Li dodged and retaliated.
"Naruto-kun! Li! Stop fighting!" Sakura called as Naruto and Li scrapped.
"What the hell! Is going on?!" Naruto froze in fear and took a punch to the face. Sakura ran up to Naruto as Sakura Haruno jumped over the fence.
"Ane-chan..." Naruto muttered as he rubbed his face. Sakura Haruno glanced from Naruto too Li. Li tensed and took up stance. Sakura had her arms crossed as Naruto stepped back.
"Think you're clever huh? Picking a fight with my ototo and imoto?" Sakura asked before her face turned something scary. "You just made the wrong woman angry." Sakura growled as Li tensed nervously under Sakura's gaze.
"Oi! Sakura-san!" Naruto and Sakura Kinomoto glanced left as Yukito hopped the fence. "Toya and Genpaku said you would be over this way..." Yukito said as Sakura Haruno turned to Yukito. Li panicked nervously from what Naruto could see. "They had some left at the cafeteria. Toya and Genpaku got theirs... So I brought you yours."
"That's sweet of you." Sakura smiled as Yukito looked inside the bag.
"I have enough nikuman for five... So Naruto, Sakura, Sakura, me and..." Yukito looked round to Li. Who jumped nervously as his stance faltered. Naruto watched as Yukito walked on up and as he held out a nikuman Li bolted it. Naruto burst out laughing as Li tripped and landed face first in the small vegetable patch and ran on, Sakura Haruno thumped the blond over the head.
"Ane-chan..." Naruto grumbled.
"I told you... You are to use that as self-defence only... Don't listen to your ani-chan." Naruto glanced down.
"But he was..." Naruto was stopped as his ane-chan put her hand on his head.
"Not right now Naruto-chan... Why don't you two go off now? We'll talk later." Sakura said with a smile and the pair nod to her and run off.

"I can't believe Li and you Naruto-kun had a fight round the back of the school." Tomoyo said as the three were walking through the park.
"I'd have given him a black eye if ane-chan hadn't stopped me..." Naruto stated as he walked along. "Heh, funny as hell to see him run like that... I wonder why he was so scared of Yukito?" Naruto muttered as Sakura nods.
"So what has Kero-chan said about the new transfer?" Tomoyo asked.
"We can't even reach him..." Sakura spoke. "Kero-chan's in a good mood right after getting up, but once he goes to sleep, he never ever wakes up until a certain time." Tomoyo chuckled.
"That is very like Kero-chan..." The group stopped as thunder clouds roared above them. The group took for cover under the penguin slide.
"Thunder?" Naruto asked as they sat down. The group listened quietly. "No rain?" Naruto muttered as he glanced out. The clouds were black. "Weird..." Naruto said as he and Tomoyo watched while Sakura sat back. Naruto watched as lightning danced from lamppost to lamppost and chased some poor bloke down the path before going back to the clouds. "Sakura-chan..." Naruto muttered as the sky cleared.
"Hai?" Naruto glanced to Sakura.
"You're staying round mine tonight." Sakura nods as the group take off. Tomoyo separated from the pair and Naruto and Sakura collected Kero before heading to Naruto's.
"Staying over?" Genpaku asked as glanced from the sofa. "Sure... Since Ray-san's out again tonight... Sakura-chan won't mind. I'll ring Toya and see."
"Arigatou!" Both chirped before heading upstairs. Genpaku smirked before standing. The pair rushed into Naruto's room and Sakura let Kero out.
"Where am I?" Kero asked dazed, he didn't even get to wake up before being put in a bag with Sakura's clothing. He glanced around, a vast amount of swords and posters littered the walls.
"You're in my room." Naruto spoke as he sat down. "But we have something's to discuss." Kero looked to Naruto and the pair explained.
"Syaoran Li?" Kero asked as the pair explained about the kid. Kero pondered for a moment as he sat on the bed. "He's probably someone from the Li clan, then."
"Li clan?" Sakura asked as Naruto was busy looking over his swords.
"My master Clow Reed was born from a British father and a Chinese mother." Kero started. "So, much of Clow's magic is a combination of western and eastern magic. For instance, the magic circles you use have English and Chinese characters, right?" Sakura nods having noticed. "The magic you are using now, Sakura, is the magic that Clow Reed created. Ancient magic that get's handed down over the years is usable by anyone, up to a certain extent as long as the user takes the right steps and keeps all the promises. However, the only people who can create brand-new magic are just a few sorcerers in this world." Naruto huffed as he sat down, he really wanted to learn magic but Kero had already denied that from him.
"Clow really was an amazing person." Sakura was amazed by Reed's power.
"Well, he himself had lots of problems, but..." Kero muttered.
"Problems?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, nothing." Kero spoke back. "And the Li clan is from Clow's mother's side of the family. Apparently, they were a famous family of sorcerers from china."
"Then, that boy..." Naruto spoke up.
"You could say he is a distant relative of Clow. I heard rumours that the Li clan had moved to Hong Kong; I guess it was true." Sakura gasped lightly as she reached for her clow cards in her bag.
"T-then, would it have been better for me to give him all the cards?" Kero shook his head.
"That's not correct." Kero spoke before floating up above Sakura. The clow book floated from Sakura's bag. "Sakura, you were the one who opened this book and awakened me. I told you the first time I met you, there was a seal placed on this book, and only those with quite a bit of magic can manage to open it. So that means that you, Sakura, have the qualifications to use these cards!" Sakura blinked as her clow cards began to float round her. "And these cards already have your name written on them, Sakura." Kero smiled. "Sakura, you are the owner of these cards." Sakura smiled lightly as she looked to the floor.
"He's right Sakura-chan!" Naruto called. "You've done so much over the last two months with these clow cards. Just because some snob from this Li clan has stepped in doesn't mean he's right. We caught those cards through our teamwork! I wouldn't be here with some of the cards if it wasn't for you." Sakura's smile widened as she blushed.
"Arigatou, Naruto-kun. Kero-chan..." Naruto blinked as his cell rang. His was blue.
"Hello?" Naruto answered. "Tomoyo-chan? Hm." Naruto blinked before standing. "Outside?" The group moved to the window. Lightning and thunder cracked in the sky.
"It's the same as today..." Sakura muttered.
"Yeah, we see it Tomoyo-chan." Naruto replied. Naruto nods and put the phone down. "Let's get going. We're meeting with Tomoyo-chan." Kero glanced to the blond.
"You think this is a clow card?" Naruto nods.
"What other reason would lightning just randomly appear, jumped between lampposts and chase an old man."
"True... I was beginning to think it was a clow card... Must be thunder..." Naruto nods and quickly reached for a weapon. "Baka, metal won't work with lighting. You'll fry." Naruto was about to speak.
"True... But I'm going to make sure you two don't get hurt." The group looked to Sakura Haruno.
"Ane-chan." Naruto and Sakura spoke. Sakura Haruno glanced to Sakura.
"I won't stop you. But before you two go..." Sakura walked up to Naruto. "The time is getting closer Naruto... But I won't say anything yet. I promised Ray-san." Sakura said as she pulled out a necklace. A small black gem rested on the base. "Wear this... No matter what, don't take it off while you fight." Naruto glanced to the gem.
"Ane-chan?" Sakura smiled lightly.
"All will be explained soon. Just do what you have to do... And trust me... There is more to you than meets the eye. Trust in your skills you've been trained at... And remember what Genpaku-kun taught you before you began karate." Naruto blinked as Sakura stood. She glanced to Naruto's weapons. "Take your hyorinmaru blade... And don't worry Kero-chan. He'll be fine." With that, Sakura left the room. The three glanced to each other.
What was all that about?

Thunder echoed in the sky. In the forest near the noise the group of four stood ready. Sakura stood in black spandex with a pink apron sort of thing on top that fan out at the waist. She wore bells and some cosplay cat ears, Kero was also sporting a bell. Naruto stood in black jeans with a black vest, a black wide collared long sleeve black shirt with a long red coat and hood with white gloves and black boots. Too Naruto, this was.
"Full metal..." Naruto said as he looked over his clothing. "Though... It feel's weird." Naruto said as he stretched. It even had the crest on it.
"I did look over the name Naruto-kun... But I couldn't find any real detail, so I played off what I could see. Also... The reason the clothing feels odd is because it's made of material that doesn't conduct electricity." Naruto gave a thumbs up, not bad.
"Even the bell?" Kero asked. Tomoyo nods, it was made out of insulated material.
"Not bad." Naruto said as he hooked the gem round his neck and attached his sheath to his back. His ani-chan had designed a special slot in the side of the sheath for withdrawing the blade since he couldn't fully pull the blade off his back. "But I do want to know one thing."
"What?" Tomoyo asked as Naruto pointed to his head. Like Sakura, he too, sported cats ears though his was red while Sakura's was pink.
"Because it looks cute." Naruto sighed as thunder danced along the roof tops.
"This is thunder all right." Kero stated as the group looked on. "It looks like a formidable opponent." Naruto glanced to his fist.
'Remember what ani-chan taught me... Ane-chan... You just said he was sprouting nonsense... Do you really mean he meant it?' Naruto closed his eyes. His ani-chan, when he was younger taught Sakura and Naruto about something called chakra. Genpaku had put both through a strange task of find the energy or something inside them. Genpaku said that if they learnt it, they could use it to leap walls and climb buildings.
The pair spent the day doing it till they came to Genpaku saying they found it and wanted to start climbing. Sakura Haruno snickered and said Genpaku was pulling them on. But she was amazed they felt chakra. After that, the pair sort of forgot about it, believing they had just sat about for nothing.
"You ready?" Naruto asked. Sakura glanced to Naruto, there was something different in his eyes. Sakura nods and summoned fly. The pair took off, Naruto glanced to his weapon. His ane-chan was smart. If it had been Genpaku, he wouldn't have bothered... But his ane-chan... He didn't doubt her words. She wasn't telling him everything. But he knew what he could do... A smile crept on his face. He wasn't just a normal average boy after all.
"The guy you mentioned, you said he had a compass?" Kero asked as the pair group flew through the air. Sakura nods.
"Yeah. It was like a board that had lots of stuff like letters scrawled onto it." Sakura spoke as she tried to remember what it looked like.
"Clow had said that he left the compass with his mother's family. All right, that kid might come over after he senses thunder." Kero said with determined face. "Let's capture that card before he comes over here!" Sakura nods.
"Hai! We'll do our best! Right Naruto-kun?" Sakura blinked as Naruto didn't reply and glanced back. "Naruto-kun?"
"Sakura!" Kero yelled and Sakura looked forward to see thunder on the attack. The group evaded two attacks and landed on a roof.
"How do I turn it back into a card?" Sakura asked Kero as Naruto glanced about.
"We have to change it back to its original shape."
"Original shape?" Sakura asked as thunder attacked again.
"Sakura-chan! You guys go! I'll catch up!" Sakura glanced to Naruto before summoning jump, two wings appeared on Sakura's feet and she took off along the roof tops. Naruto leaned against the wall as thunder chase. Naruto took a breath.
'Show time.'
Sakura landed and ran down the street, thunder following along. With a final set of jumps, Sakura landed on the roof of the school building. She leaned off one of the two towers."But what's the original shape of Thunder?" Sakura asked.
"Thunder really is..." Kero didn't get to finish as someone spoke up.
"You don't even know that?" The pair glanced to the left as Li stood on the roof edge. Sakura was surprised to see Li standing there. He was dressed in green and yellow Chinese battle clothing. Li brought his sword up with his left two fingers resting on the blade. "Thunder god, answer me call!" With a swing of the blade a bright flash of yellow lightning hit the thunders blue one and thunder crashed onto the roof in a fit of hisses and roars. Sakura gasped as Li jumped down. It was the same stance from her dream. She quickly followed Li down and both looked on as thunder turned into a large blue cat. It roared as it tried to get over the effects of the attack.
"It looks scary!" Sakura called, unnerved by thunder's appearance.
"You catch Thunder after you change it into its thunder-beast form!" Li stated. "You don't even know that?" He asked.
"I was about to explain that..." Kero grumbled. Sakura stepped back and picked her windy card. Li glanced back.
"Baka... You can't fight against Thunder with Windy!" Sakura looked to her card.
"But, I've caught some cards by holding down with windy..." Sakura muttered. She stepped back as Li prepared to fight thunder as it approached them.
"Oi!!!" Thunder stopped and glanced back. "Baka neko!" Naruto called from the ground.
"Naruto-kun!" Sakura called in surprise. How he get here so quickly? Naruto pulled down his lower eye lid.
"Come on you pussy cat... I've seen mice scarier than you!" Thunder roared turning to the blond and jumped down.
"Baka! What can you do against thunder!" Li yelled as Sakura watched on nervously. What was Naruto doing?
Naruto smirked as thunder growled at the blond. "You want a real fight? Then I'm the lad to beat you... My name is not important you use... But remember this thunder... You were beaten by the kōri no ryū no renkinjutsu shi!" Naruto stated out loud.
"Naruto!" Kero yelled. "This is no time to playing games here! Thunder is not something to mess with..." Naruto held his hand up to thunder. He waved it in a 'come at me' motion. "Baka!" Kero yelled as thunder rushed the blond in its element form.
"Naruto-kun!" Sakura yelled as Naruto palmed his hands together. 'Wait...' Sakura blinked as she recognized that stance.
"Take..." Naruto yelled grabbing his blade. It clicked from his sheath. "This!" Naruto yelled as he hit thunder's elemental form. Thunder skidded back and turned to its beast form with a roar.
"What... Just happened?" Kero asked stunned. "Naruto's body should have been toast... What he just do? Sakura?" Kero asked as he looked to Sakura. Sakura merely stared. Naruto smirked and looked up.
'Naruto-kun... Was that... What I think you just did?' Naruto nods as if hearing her. Naruto looked back to thunder as it rushed the blond. Naruto tensed and jumped back with a flip. He landed on a tree branch with a smirk and jumped forward.
"Hargh!" Naruto roared swinging his blade. The pendent on his chest glowed and a wave of energy shot from the blade at thunder. A large line of ice spiked up in its path. Naruto glanced to his blade. 'I don't fully understand what's going on... But I guess I'll get my answers... Ane-chan... Ani-chan... Arigatou...' Naruto closed his eyes. 'I can feel it... I can feel the flow of my chakra...' Naruto's form glowed as thunder rushed the blond in its elemental form again. Naruto's eyes opened and he swung. A large blast of steam hit the sky as Sakura and Li jumped down.
"Naruto-kun!" Sakura called worried. Kero glanced around; he had questions for that kid. Li merely blinked, who was this guy?
Roaring and growls echoed as the steam cleared. Thunder was trapped in a prison of ice, clawing at the sides. Naruto stood on one knee. His blade steaming like dry ice as it rested on the floor. Slowly, Naruto stood. He glanced over. "Hey, Sakura-chan you see that! Am I awesome or what?" Sakura quickly ran over to the blond.
"Naruto-kun... Wh-what did you just do? Was that really chakra I saw or did you gain some kind power." Naruto smiled. "Naruto-kun?"
"I believe we already know that answer." Naruto said as Sakura smiled nodding.
"Oi! Will you two focus!" Li yelled. "Seal thunder now!" Sakura jumped and nods.
"Return to the guise that you were meant to be in! Clow card!" Sakura yelled swinging her staff down. The ice shattered as thunder was dragged into the card. Sakura smiled as the card dropped. But blinked as it passed her hand into Narutos palm. "What..." Kero floated beside Sakura.
"Since Naruto was able to subdue thunder and capture it. Naruto would of course gain thunder." Sakura frowned as Naruto glanced from thunder to Sakura. He handed it to here.
"Here... Like I can use magic anyway..." Sakura smiled lightly as she took it from the blond.
"Arigatou..."
"So that's the sealing staff..." Li spoke up as he walked up and looked to Sakura. "But you really don't know anything, do you?" Naruto growled as Sakura glanced down.
"Li..." Naruto growled as he pointed his blade up. "You have no right to say anything about Sakura-chan... She's put her life on the line to capture the clow cards and so have I. True to fact we don't know everything, but we've proved we can beat them with our limited knowledge... So why don't you go back to hong kong..." Li and Naruto glared.
"Naruto's right." Kero spoke, but not about the hong kong bit. "It hasn't been that long since Sakura started collecting the cards!"
"What the hell is this?" Li asked looking at Kero.
"That's Kero-chan..." Sakura muttered. Li blinked.
"N-nani... T-then, this is Keroberosu, the beast of the seal?"
"The very same." Naruto stated as Li pointed at Kero.
"The strongest guardian beast with golden eyes, is this plush toy?" Kero's right eye twitched before he bit on Li's finger.
"Kero-chan!" Sakura spoke surprised.
"Yeah! That's it Kero-chan!" Naruto cheered with a grin. Kero glared as he was thrown free and Li turned to walk off.
"In any case, collecting clow cards is impossible considering your measly powers..." Li said looking at Sakura. Li was knocked sideways and him the floor. He rubbed his right cheek as he tried to stand.
"I won't hit you with my weapon... But I will hit you again with my fist if you insult Sakura-chan." Li huffed and walked off. Tomoyo passed Li and looked stunned at all the ice. She quickly looked to Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, are you hurt anywhere?" Tomoyo asked as Sakura stood there in a saddened state. "Sakura-chan..."
"Tomoyo-chan..." Naruto spoke. "Could you get us a ride...?" Tomoyo nods and called to be picked up. "Sakura-chan..." Naruto spoke. As he sheathed his weapon. Sakura glanced to the blond. Naruto smiled sadly. "He's wrong... You've got to remember that..."Sakura nods.
The group arrived home to find Sakura resting in the lounge. Genpaku fast asleep with his head on her lap. "You okay?" The pair nod.
"Ane-chan..." Naruto spoke. Sakura shook her head.
"Right now is not the time to explain... You two go to bed. I'll try find some time to explain." Naruto and Sakura nod before going to bed. As they left Genpaku opened his eyes.
"You made a risky move... Ray-san said not to tell him yet." Sakura sighed.
"I don't want him or Sakura-chan getting hurt... It was a matter of time before we had to do something... It was getting dangerous with some of them... You agree don't you...? You even said so you're self on that night in April..." Genpaku sighed.
"I guess so... But I think we need to talk to Naruto soon... He needs to know how to control his power." Sakura nods.
"We'll tell him... But let's let him rest so he can get his mind round everything... We'll talk to Ray-san tomorrow." Genpaku nods.
"Bed yet?"
"Give them ten then we'll go to bed." Genpaku smiled.
"Good..." He yawned.
Upstairs Naruto and Sakura were getting ready to sleep. Naruto sat watching Sakura as she lay down in her futon. Kero sat looking on worried. She hadn't said anything since. The light turned off and Naruto lay there staring at the ceiling. But it was a couple of minutes before he heard Sakura begin to cry. Naruto sat up.
"Sakura-chan..." Sakura sniffled but didn't reply. Naruto got out of bed and stepped beside her. "Come here..." Naruto said pulling her to her feet. Kero sat in silence while Genpaku and Sakura were ease dropping. "What's wrong?" Sakura sniffed before looking to the blond. Naruto hugged Sakura. "Don't listen to baka-Li..." Naruto muttered. "He doesn't know anything about you Sakura-chan... Nothing at all..."
"But..."
"No..." Naruto stopped. "Don't put yourself down... You're a great cardcaptor, you've done so much where I've done so little... I've been there as your courage right? It is you that's proved you can do it. You've shown it so many times with the cards..." Naruto said with a smile. "Don't let one person's words undo all your hard work. Please Sakura-chan... You don't like it when I'm sad... I don't like it when you're sad. I didn't get given this power from ane-chn just to beat up thunder... I did it to protect you... I've got to up my skills just like you've upped your ability to fight the clow cards... Please don't cry Sakura-chan..." Naruto asked as Sakura cried into the blonds shoulder.
"Arigatou Naruto-kun... Arigatou..." Naruto smiled as he comforted his friend, though thanks to the darkness she could see his red face.
Genpaku leaned off the door. "Sakura-chan... I believe this calls for one of those... Kawii moment's of yours..." Sakura smiled and put her hands together in a strange sign,
Morning began to peak through the window and Naruto slowly began to wake up. His vision blurry but he was sure he could hear a snicker. A flash of light later and Naruto opened his eyes again to see Sakura facing him. He couldn't remember going back to bed. All he remembered was making Sakura feel better.
"Well well..." Naruto froze and looked left to Genpaku. He had a big grin on his face as he waved the camera. "This is something I won't be letting by so easily..." Naruto's face turned red from embarrassment. "I didn't think you had it in you my ototo..." Genpaku said wiping a fake tear. "You've made your ani-chan proud to call you my brother!"
"Nani!!" Naruto roared before standing. Sakura slowly awoke to Naruto's yell and blinked and looking up as Naruto glared at his brother. She then realised she was under Naruto's covers and noticed the camera. "Give me that!" Naruto yelled jumping for the camera.
"I'm making sure a lot of people get these photos!" Genpaku laughed.
"Nani! You took more I'll kill you ani-chan!" Naruto yelled as the house sounded like a battle field.
"Dream on gaki! You're years behind me! Woah! Watch it with that sword Naruto!" Sakura Haurno sighed with a smile as she set up breakfast.
"Come down soon you four! It's time for breakfast!"

Boku wa soba ni iru kara
