A/N: Let's get glow going and be on par with jingo-san. Looks like jingo's taking a jump back for some reason? I can't wait to see what jingo does. Anyway, I've got a new character to add to the cardcaptoring group. So let's get to it!

This is the second of three. Please note, that all I've mentioned before, were made during the time I put this chapter together.

"Naruto-chan..." Kyuubi spoke as Naruto sat meditating in the temple grounds of his soul. The elderly sage stood watching the blond intensely. "Though your training is progressing you beyond normal training that any young mage takes at their age." Naruto didn't respond to the sage as he sat there without even twitching. But the elder knew very well the blond was listening to him. "It proved during that erase. The trouble we have now with your current training. Though I have come to a decision, one that will do better benefits. You will continue to train as you do. But be more able to retain much of your magical energy so you won't be caught out like before." Naruto looked up as the magical glow faded. The sage smiled, the blond was as he could have ever dreamed.

Naruto's aura was that of the earth. Though his chakra was wind and water based. His magic affinity was that of the earth. Which was what the sage had wanted. It would make the day, whenever it came. That much easier.

"What do you have in mind sensei?" Naruto asked as he stood and stretched. The sage held out his hand as red and black magic rose and spiralled into his palm forming a glowing orb.

"This shall aid you from now on. And in doing so, you shall not need to return here. I've put too much on your body with this training in the soul."

"I said I would only do day training sensei." The elder nods, glad to have the boy understand his limits. "Then why stop me coming here?" The elder let the orb float towards Naruto.

"Before, I had no full understanding of the seal. I may have been here ten years. But I knew nothing of its limits. So from here on, I shall be acting as a second gate. Should there be a time I need to call you here. I shall. But you will never be able to enter this world again. Mind training will also be limited so you can focus on your everyday life."

"I see..." Naruto muttered as he looked to the glowing orb. "What will this do?"

"She shall explain it to you..." With that the orb expanded and Naruto's eyes widen as the light engulfs him.

Chapter 16

A small light flickering in the night as it danced beside a lake like a firefly, dipping above the tree and diving it landed before Sakura Kinomoto and surprises the girl momentarily. Sakura stared curious at the light as the orb scattered above her head and surrounded her with smaller orbs. She smiled as she enjoyed the playful nature of the lights and it gathered once more into a singular orb and scattered again as she danced in the lights. She held her hand out as she caught one on the palm, she smiled.

'These are probably...' The light expanded as it swirled and the light filled her dream.

"Probably..." Kero glanced over to Sakura who mumbled in her sleep. Slowly he glided over, curious about what dream Sakura could be having, seeing as the sun was clear in the sky. Maybe it was time to wake her. Slowly Sakura opened her eyes as Kero leaned in close.

"Probably?" The sight of her guardian of the book so close first thing startled Sakura as she sat up in surprise. Kero jumped back startled by the response. "What! You're so rude!" Kero spoke up as he looked on at his captor. "What kind of a voice is that after looking at someone's face?" Sakura tucked the blanket up close as she stared at her annoyed guardian.

"But you were staring so close to me!"

"You shouldn't lazily stay in bed forever just because it's summer vacation!" Kero retorted to the girl. "I was thinking now would be a good time to wake you up!" Kero then smiled as he asked his question. "And so, what 'probably' were you talking about?" Sakura looked up at that request and glanced down as she tried to remember the dream. Nope, she forgot.

"I forgot." Kero, sighed as he found he'd most likely had startled the dream out her mind. "Because I was so surprised I forgot what it was about!" Yeah... Maybe he should think next time he hears her talking in her sleep.

"Come on!" Kero responded as he looked at the girl amazed by her lack of taking in the important things. "Dreams are important things! Dreams of especially powerful people have a high probability of being a premonition. You have to make sure to remember them!"

"Hai..." Sakura answered her guardian. Kero slumped his form as he found himself wondering if Sakura would remember next time. Sakura on the other hand got out of bed to open her window. She took a breath of the morning air. She smiled as Kero floated over to take in the morning air also. "The wind feels nice, Kero-chan."

"Summer is almost over." Kero mused before looking back with a smile. "And... Have you finished your summer vacation homework yet?" Sakura looked blankly at the smiling Kero as she looked to her books. She chuckled nervously as Kero looked on blankly. She needed to find away to change the subject as she knew Kero would say something otherwise.

"Oh, I'm in charge of dinner tonight." Kero looked on with a frown at the girl's attempt to dodge the homework. "What should we have tonight?" Sakura asked as she picked out her clothes. With a sigh Kero just knew, that on the last day. It was going to be hell for Sakura. He wondered if Naruto was just as bad?

Kero followed Sakura through the morning till she reached the fridge. Having checked what was there, Sakura came to the choice of meal. "I'll make okonomiyaki tonight!" Kero cheered in agreement to this statement. Sakura picked up her backpack as she went to get her skates. "Then I'm going to go grocery shopping." Kero was quickly behind to make sure Sakura didn't forget what he wanted.

"If you're making okonomiyaki, make mine a modern-yaki!" And he made it clear repeating that same ending as he floated to the front door where Sakura had finished getting her skates on.

"Ok, the one where you put soba noodles on top, right?" Sakura smiled as Kero was lost in thought before taking off. Sakura smiled as she took off down the street. "Naruto-kun will be home today. I should go by and say hi..." Sakura mused as she slowed and looked up in thought. "I wonder if Naruto-kun's started his homework? But then again... Naruto-kun tends to cut it closer than I do..." Sakura crossed her arms. "I'll have to ask Naruto if he wants to work together." Sakura muttered as she continued on her way.

Once all was gathered at the store Sakura began her track back home. "I bought the soba noodles, and I bought the sauce." Sakura spoke to herself as she made sure she had everything checked on her list. She spotted a sign on the notice board and came to a stop. "A festival... Today is the last day. I should invite Tomoyo-chan and Naruto-kun and go today." Sakura thought with a smile. She felt a bit red at the thought of going with Naruto. Maybe a date. She quickly shook her head. She needed to remain focused. Naruto's probably had a tiring trip home. He might not even be up for it. She took off and stopped a moment. She wasn't in a hurry. So maybe a little detour was at hand. So she could say hi to Yukito.

Upon her arrival, she found the grey haired teen to be absent. Though a bit down at not greeting him. She found that she wasn't as down as she would have been if her affection was fully on the teen. Guess it showed how close she'd gotten with Naruto in their friendship. Plus the thoughts of what she spoke about with Sakura back then at the lake came to her every now and then.

"Sakura-san!" Sakura glanced about as she heard Yukito and tried to locate the point of the voice.

"Up here!" Sakura looked up as she heard a second and saw Sakura Haruno with Yukito. "Hey!" Both teens waved to the girl.

"Sakura-san, Yukito-san."

"Were you shopping?" Yukito asked and Sakura Kinomoto nods.

"Hai! I was just on my way home, but I thought I'd come say hi."

"If you don't mind, you can have some tea with us." Yukito asked. Sakura nods, sounded good.

"Is that all right?"

"Yeah. And Sakura-san's made some yummy treats, too." Yukito spoke as he stood. "I'll be right down." With that he vanished over the back while Sakura Haruno jumped down from the front with ease.

"Ohayo Sakura-chan." Sakura spoke walking up. Sakura Kinomoto smiled.

"Ohayo... Um, what you doing here?" Sakura asked curiously.

"I was bored so I've been spending time with Yukito. His grandparents are away so I thought company was needed."

"You missing Genpaku-san?"

"To bits..." Sakura sighed. "I love a quiet house. But I miss that red head too much." Sakura smiled at the older teen.

"Do you know when they'll be back?" Sakura tapped her chin.

"I think later today." Sakura mused as she tried to remember what time they left at. Yukito called out to them and the pair walked inside before sitting at the table. Yukito prepared the tea and set it down before the older Sakura and then the younger.

"I made it a little weak." Sakura Kinomoto looked curious as to how he knew. Yukito smiled at the reaction. "Toya said that you liked weak tea, Sakura-san." Sakura smiled and gave a short nod as she took her tea.

"Thank you very much. Um, why were the pair of you on the rooftop?" Sakura Kinomoto asked. Sakura pointed to Yukito.

"Because it was nice out today by Yukito's words... Though it was nice sitting in the breeze." Sakura said as she sat back.

"So you're grandparents are on a trip?" Sakura Kinomoto asked as she looked from the older Sakura to Yukito. The male nods.

"Hai, they often travel places alone together. This time, they went to Atami."

"I see..." Sakura muttered as she couldn't help but wonder if he got lonely sometimes? But at least friends came by to keep him company like Sakura Haruno did.

"Delicious." Yukito commented on the snack as he looked to the pink haired teen.

"Arigatou."

Time went by and it wasn't long before the chime of the clock rung out. Sakura Kinomoto looked over. "It's this late already...? I have to go home." Sakura muttered as she picked up her bags.

"Are you in charge of something today?" Yukito asked.

"Hai." Yukito smiled.

"We'll take you home." Sakura spoke up. Sakura looked to the older teens as Yukito nods. "You're backpack looks quiet full. So I thought we could help lighten the load." Yukito nods again.

"Besides, I have something that I have to return to Toya." Yukito commented as they stood. "So, we'll take you home." Sakura smiled at this and after they were ready, they were off down the street back to her house.

Though as they walked, Sakura continued to tell some things to Yukito. "At times like that, you do end up eating them..." Yukito commented to Sakura as she smiled.

"Don't you? So I ate the jell-o in the fridge, but it was my onii-chan's..." Yukito chuckled as Sakura rolled into Toya's leg. Toya had over heard that last part as he looked down at his sister.

"So you were the one who ate it." Sakura jumped as she realised who it was. Why hadn't anyone told her he was there?

"O-Onii-chan!" Sakura spoke nervously before they all walked to the Kinomoto residence. Kero lay on the table beside Sakura Haruno who was talking to Yukito while Toya and Sakura were in the kitchen cooking.

"You just surprised me!" Sakura commented to her brother as she stirred.

"It's because you weren't watching where you were going." Toya answered as he continued to slice the cabbage. Sakura glared at her brother before looking to the older teens.

"We're almost ready." Yukito looked over.

"But is it alright?" Yukito asked since the pair had let Yukito stay to eat.

"Eat with us. You're alone, right?" Toya asked as he continued what he was doing.

"Then I'll help out." Yukito asked as he held up a leak. "Can I chop this up?" Sakura nods.

"Sure!" Yukito stood and walked round. Sakura Haruno sighed as she leaned back.

"By the way, did you know that there is a festival going on?" Yukito asked as he stood beside Sakura who gave a nod

"Hai. I was planning on inviting Tomoyo-chan and Naruto-kun and go later." Sakura commented as she turned to the older Sakura. "Do you think Naruto-kun will be able to come?" Sakura glanced over.

"I think so..." Sakura said as she stood and stretched. "Speaking of Naruto... I best get going. I'll see you all tonight at the festival. Knowing Genpaku, he'll go as well."

"So you'll be going as well?" Toya asked Sakura Haruno. Sakura nods as the teen looked forward. "I'll go as well." Sakura Kinomoto looked surprised.

"Why?" Sakura asked her brother.

"Because I want to go." Sakura stared blankly as Yukito glanced down to Sakura.

"Can I come too?" Sakura turned to the teen.

"Hai. Then I'll go call Tomoyo-chan and ask." Sakura spoke running off. Yukito looked to Toya.

"Festivals have lots of people, and it's dangerous late at night, so you're worried." Toya glanced over.

"I'm more worried of Sakura and Genpaku." Sakura smiled at this. "Pushing my little sister on the gaki." Toya muttered as he continued to cut the cabbage.

"You're a protective brother..." Sakura said as she walked to the door.

"You're so kind, 'onii-chan'." Yukito commented with a smile.

"Shut up." Toya muttered again as he continued at his task.

Sakura gave a bye as she left and headed home. On her arrival she found the car parked up and the fishing gear still in the back. She sighed, half baked work with those three. They can get it all in, but when it comes to cleaning it out. She growled as she walked in. There was no way in hell she was doing it.

"Man... That was a great trip..." Genpaku sighed as he lay on the sofa. Ray and Naruto were likewise who nod in agreement.

"I can't wait to show everyone the picture of that really big one we caught." Naruto spoke as Sakura stood at the door way.

"It was so taste..." Ray said as he yawned. Ray noticed something and glanced to the door to see Sakura. "Ah, Sakura-chan. Good to see you." Sakura sighed as Genpaku stood and walked over with open arms.

"How you been? Miss me?" Genpaku felt a hand stop him and Genpaku looked down and stepped back as he looked at her face. It was clearly not a friendly greeting. "Bad day?"

"All of you..." Sakura growled. "Get that stuff out and clean it up that mess right now!" Sakura roared as Genpaku and Naruto flew out the door and by the car as Ray landed in the messy kitchen. All three groaned. It was great to be home.

"Festival?" Naruto asked as he and Genpaku set their stuff in the garage. Sakura nods.

"Want to go?" Naruto looked down.

"Is Sakura-chan going?" Naruto asked and Sakura nods. "Of course I'll go. I need to see her anyway." Sakura raised an eyebrow of curiosity.

"Any reason why?" Naruto glanced back.

"Just about our card searching." Sakura nods, oh well... They had time. Sakura then turned to Genpaku.

"You and I are going also, to have some fun." Genpaku nods.

"Okay, oi gaki. I'll show you a cool way to train and have fun at it." Naruto looked to Genpaku curious as to what training it was. Sakura crossed her arms, she didn't like that idea.

"Good to hear you're both coming. Let's get you clothed up then."

As night came Sakura stood with Toya and Yukito by penguin park all dressed up for the festival. They're had been no sign of Sakura Haruno yet or Naruto. But a call made Sakura turn to see Tomoyo running up. "Tomoyo-chan."

"Hello Sakura-chan." Tomoyo spoke as she stopped before her friend. "That looks very nice on you." Tomoyo commented to the pink kimono with white flowers and green sash. A small pink bow at the back of her head. A white and red fan in her hand. (Did anyone else notice it looked like the uchiha crest?)

"Tou-san made it for me last year." Sakura commented as Tomoyo marvelled the outfit.

"Your tou-san really can do anything, can't he?" Sakura smiled at that comment of her tou-san. But because Sakura was smiling with her eyes closed she didn't notice till Tomoyo held her left with both hers. "I brought me camcorder. You have to let me film you today!" Sakura smiled nervously. She glanced about.

'I wonder where Naruto-kun is.' Sakura mused glumly. Toya glanced about before not bothering to wait for the rest and lead the group to the Tsukimine shrine. As they entered the girls got underway as they moved about the stalls and were busy staring at some of the fun things to do when people were running by them.

"Come on! This guy's amazing!" One spoke to their friend. Sakura and Tomoyo glance to each other and followed to a large group of people. Nipping through the crowd Sakura and Tomoyo looked on amazed as Genpaku and Naruto stood at a target practice booth. A square target with multiple squares in it. Genpaku tossed a ball in his hand before he showed three and let them rip. Striking clean through a correct set. The teen smirked as people gasped. Oh how he enjoyed showing off at childish games.

"It's all in the wrist." Genpaku spoke to Naruto who nods and threw a ball and skimmed past the target and round. Naruto grumbled as Genpaku tossed the ball in his hand.

"It's an art you'll get used to..." Genpaku spoke as he threw another ball and strikes down three more. Naruto nods and picked up a ball.

"Naruto-kun!" Naruto glanced up and looked behind him to Sakura and Tomoyo. "Hey!" Naruto looked forward and threw a ball again and struck dead centre. Genpaku grinned as he found his little brother far more concentrated.

"Again!" Genpaku called as he and Naruto let loss and 6 targets vanished. "Now that's how you play!" Genpaku called as Naruto grinned.

Genpaku and Naruto sensed a presence behind them and were dragged off by the collar by Sakura Haruno. "What did I tell you..." Sakura called as she dragged them off. The crowd died down as the show finished and Sakura and Tomoyo made their way over to Naruto and his family. Sakura stood looking annoyed at the pair. "What did I tell you Genpaku. No showing off, this is for us to enjoy. Then you go drag Naruto to a game when, my back is turned."

"Gomen, Gomen Sakura-chan." Genpaku spoke as he waved his hand to calm the angry Haruno. "But you can't expect us not to have a few goes..." Sakura looked on at Genpaku. "I was teaching Naruto shuriken practice. These games are good for this sort of thing." Sakura looked on with crossed arms. "Come on... It was only the one." Sakura sighed.

"I'll let you off this time. Now no more running off. Honestly, you're like a little kid here..." Genpaku chuckled as he scratched the back of his head with a large grin. Naruto looked from the pair to see Sakura and Tomoyo.

"Hey Tomoyo-chan. Sakura-chan." Naruto spoke walking up as he smiled. The pair smiled and looked at Naruto in his black kimono and red hakama. A samurai was on the back. Genpaku wore black as did Sakura with matching white hakama. This was Genpaku's idea. Not Sakura's. Since both had a bleach captains symbol on their back.

"You look nice Naruto-kun." Tomoyo commented first as Sakura nods in agreement.

"Thanks..." Naruto said grinning as he scratched the back of his head. "It's great to see you guys..." Sakura nods in agreement.

"How fishing go?" Naruto then went about showing the sort of size the fish he caught was. This was how Toya and Yukito found the group.

"So you are here..." Toya spoke up as he walked up. Genpaku waved. "Must have been an uneventful trip if you still have the energy to run around like a kid."

"I always have the energy..." Genpaku stated. "How you doing Yukito?"

"Very well, good to see you to Genpaku-san." Genpaku nods before looking to Sakura.

"Shall we get going then? Otherwise we're not going to enjoy the festival." Sakura nods and the group walk back into the mass of stalls, Naruto quickly rushed off on his own with Sakura and Tomoyo trying to keep up as he vanished in the crowds. They found Naruto grinning over the water yo-yo he'd just obtained.

"There you are Naruto-kun... Where you get that?" Sakura asked as she looked at the object curiously as Naruto bounced it a couple of times. He pointed to the stall and walked over with Sakura and Tomoyo. Sakura spotted a red one and was determined to get it. But the toy kept bouncing off the string hook and Sakura found she was losing patience with the game.

"Oji-san." Naruto spoke up and Sakura looked to Naruto who reached out and picked up the one Sakura wanted with the hook. Sakura smiled as Naruto held it to Sakura as he got it. "Here you go Sakura-chan. Hehe..." Naruto said grinning as Sakura took it from him.

"Arigatou Naruto-kun..." Sakura said as she stood and marvelled the toy while Tomoyo stood on the side with her camcorder on the pair.

"That was sweet of you Naruto-chan." Sakura Haruno spoke as she walked up with the older group. Naruto chuckled. Though out of the group, Toya seemed to have something on his mind.

"So what's next?" Naruto asked Sakura.

"How about ring toss?" Sakura answered Naruto as Yukito glanced back.

"It was over there. Let's go and try it." Genpaku turned only to bump into Toya.

"Geez... What's up with you Toya? You sure don't seem to be here." Genpaku growled as he walked round the teen. Sakura looked at her brother curiously.

"Onii-chan?" Toya glanced to Sakura.

"It's nothing..." He spoke as he followed. Sakura smiled at her water yo-yo before glancing over to Tomoyo. "You should have tried too, Tomoyo-chan. Aren't you bored just watching?" Tomoyo lowered the camera as she smiled.

"No, I'm having a very fun time because I'm able to film you having fun, Sakura-chan." Sakura smiled at her friends attitude to filming her constantly. Naruto came to a stop and Sakura and Tomoyo stopped also.

"Hey, it's Chiharu and Yamazaki." Naruto spoke walking their way with Sakura and Tomoyo behind him.

"Chiharu-chan. Yamazaki-kun." Sakura spoke as the three walked over.

"Hey..." Yamazaki greeted as did Chiharu as the group stood together at one of the entrances.

"Konbanwa Naruto." Yamazaki spoke.

"Konbanwa Yamzaki." Naruto greeted.

"You two just came?" Sakura asked having thought Rika and Naoko would have come also.

"Yeah. We heard from Naoko-chan." Chiharu answered.

"Naoko-chan does like things like shrine and temple." Tomoyo commented as Chiharu nods.

"And scary stories." Sakura stared at that comment and smiled nervously, in hopes there wouldn't be one tonight.

"So Naoko-chan and the others aren't here?" Sakura asked.

"Naoko-chan and Rika-chan both have piano lessons today."

"I see." Sakura answered as Chiharu noticed the toy Sakura was carrying.

"Kawaii." Sakura smiled as she held it up.

"Naruto-kun got it for me..." Sakura spoke as Naruto held up his black one.

"That reminds me..." Yamazaki started as everyone looked to the male. "Do you know what the origin of the water yo-yo is?" Naruto felt that this was about to be one of Yamazaki's lies again, but you never know. "It was first seen in the Edo era, and it was more like a regular summer pastime for the peasants." Naruto mentally nods. That's a lie for sure.

Sakura found this strange as she spoke up. "Wait, did they have rubber way back then?" The girls all looked at Sakura's yo-yo while Yamazaki quickly tried to think of what more he could add to try keep it going. "This is rubber, right?" Sakura asked as she bounced the balloon on the string. Both girls agreed it was. Yamazaki nods.

"Yeah, so they used to make is out of glass." While Sakura though on this and Tomoyo didn't find this now to be true but found it amusing to watch Sakura believe it. Chiharu was also having doubts as she looked at Yamazaki blankly.

"It's getting pretty fishy now..." Sakura though was hooked on the line as Yamazaki waited for a way to add more to his tale.

"Glass?" Sakura asked as she bounced the balloon. "They they couldn't play with it like this..."

"No..." Yamazaki responded. "The classy people created inventive ways to play with it, without breaking it." Sakura found this interesting as Naruto sighed. Sakura really did get easily caught in. But this is why he liked Yamazaki. He has the gift of forming up such lies so well. Even Naruto is not that good.

"It's a lie..." Chiharu spoke as she looked back having now lost any belief in Yamazaki's tale. The sound of a pop gun went off and the group glanced about to the source. They walked up behind Li who was so focused on shooting his targets he didn't even notice how close they got till Chiharu spoke up as Li hit a target. "It hit." Li blinked at that and looked behind him to the faces of the three girls with Naruto and Yamazaki at the back.

"You are good at that." Tomoyo commented as Li stared stunned he'd been crept up on. Sakura looked down at the counter at all the prizes.

"You got all these by yourself, Li?" Sakura asked. Li calmed and looked forward to what he was to shoot next.

"Well, yeah." Li answered as he lined up.

"That's amazing!" The shot went clean off and missed as Yukito spoke up from behind the young group with the older teens. Surprised by the male Li quickly searched with sweet treats in his prizes and quickly held them out to the older teen. Yukito looked at the treats surprised before smiling. "I can have these?" Li nods and the older teen reached out and took them. "Arigatou."

"Now, about target shooting..." Yamazaki started again. "Once upon a time..." Yamazaki didn't get to finish as Chiharu put her fan in front of the lad face. She quickly looked to the prizes as she tried to draw away from another lie.

"I want that, Yamazaki-kun." Chiharu commented pointing at the bear. "If you get it for me..." Yamazaki looked at the bear. "I'll bring homemade sweets tomorrow." Yamazaki looked at Chiharu.

"Then I have to pray." Yamazaki said to Chiharu who looked confused to this.

"Why do you need to pray?" Yamazaki quickly prayed as he answered.

"That I can stay well afterwards..." He smiled at the joke as Chiharu didn't like it and proceeded to choke the black haired lad who merely chuckled at this.

"That was that?! You're so mean! I just learned how to bake cookies." Naruto, Sakura and Tomoyo smiled at the pair's antics.

"Chiharu-chan and Yamazaki-kun are really good friends." Tomoyo commented as the pair nod. Tomoyo leaned close to Sakura so Naruto couldn't here. Who wasn't paying attention. "And I'm glad for you, Sakura-chan. Because Naruto-kun got you that water yo-yo..." Sakura smiled with a nod, as Tomoyo smiled as she noticed the tint on Sakura's face as she looked at the yo-yo. Naruto glanced to the prizes as he pondered what he should win next. Genpaku was studying what to win on the ring toss.

"Any prize will do... Like anyone here is as good as I am." Genpaku spoke out loud as he tried to goad someone into a game.

"You did it!" The group glanced to Chiharu and Yamazaki as he won her the bear. Tomoyo glanced back to the ring toss stall and noticed a white rabbit.

"That's right. Sakura-chan, don't you want that?" Sakura looked to the plush then to Tomoyo. "I know how you like rabbits, Sakura-chan." Sakura nods to that.

"You're right, they're cute." Yukito spoke as he looked at the rabbit. Li got a thought and took off to win the rabbit. Toya, who had been watching the kid having heard what Genpaku said... Though he wouldn't say it, the pair when they were young competed with one another. If this kid out did him, he wouldn't hear the end of it with Genpaku. Sakura sighed as she watched the older Kinomoto wage war with Li at the rin toss.

"Geez, you know how to stir trouble Genpaku?" Genpaku grinned.

"It's all harmless fun, plus Toya isn't about to back down against me." Sakura sighed, those two... "Either way..." Genpaku said walking up to the stall as the two were rapidly throwing rings and missing. Genpaku threw his and won Sakura a bear. "This is for you..." Sakura Haruno smiled as she took it. She noticed the heated gave on the shinobi's back as the two males took off throwing more rings.

"I do think you've just made them more intense on winning." Genpaku shrugged and glanced over with a smirk. He looked to Sakura who nods and they move over to where Naruto, Sakura, Tomoyo and Yukito was.

"Looks like it could be a while..." Yukito mused aloud.

"Could be..." Sakura answered as Genpaku put a hand on the pairs shoulder. "Hoe?" Sakura and Naruto glanced to Genpaku.

"Want to come with us you two? They seem to be occupied." They look back the pair and then to Genpaku.

"Um..." Sakura started, she glanced to Tomoyo, she wasn't going to leave her friend. Tomoyo smiled.

"That's okay. You two go have fun. I'll keep Yukito-san company till their finished and we'll come find you." The young pair looked to Yukito who nods.

"Go enjoy yourselves." The pair nod and the two teens lead the young pair off. Tomoyo smiled as she watched the pair walk off. Who knows, to night might be the night.

As they wondered the area, the group walked off into the forest, with Genpaku and Sakura embracing each other as they walked. Naruto and Sakura followed behind as they walked quietly. They came to a stop on a small open grounds. "Oh, did we walk around to the back of the shrine?" Genpaku asked as he looked to the night sky.

"Seems so." Sakura answered as she smiled as she looked to the teen. Genpaku blinked as his gaze remained forward and Sakura looked the same way. "Oh..." The young pair walked round and looked at the two glowing orbs. "Fireflies... But... There's no river nearby..." Sakura muttered as Naruto smirked. He knew why. As the orbs dashed off Naruto looked to Sakura.

"Let's follow them..." Sakura nods. "Be back in a bit onii-chan, onee-chan." Naruto called as the pair followed the orbs. The older pair smiled and just stood looking at the night sky.

"You know what that is right?" Naruto asked Sakura as he walked. Sakura glanced to Naruto who looked to the flying orbs. "Clow card." Sakura glanced down as she looked away from the blond.

"You'd know... Naruto-kun..." Sakura muttered. "Sometimes I wonder why you're not the cardcaptor..." Naruto glanced over. "You seem to notice this better than me..." Naruto looked down and crouched.

"That's not true Sakura-chan." Naruto muttered as he looked at the flower. "You were the one picked by Kero-chan. Because of your magic. I just took on a role given to me by someone else..." Naruto said as he stood with the small flower in hand. He smiled as he held the flower up and looked at it in the moons glow. "You're the one who will gather them all Sakura-chan. You'll go farther than I will..." Naruto passed Sakura it. "You know why?" Sakura smiled as she took the flower and glanced back curiously. "Because you're getting better with every card. Every new challenge makes you stronger... It's why I'll stand by you as your sidekick." Sakura smiled as she glanced down.

"You're more than a sidekick Naruto-kun..." Naruto chuckled as he looked up. "You're my partner in gathering them. If it wasn't for you. We would have had more trouble..."

"I doubt that... I'm sure if things were different. You wouldn't even need me..." Naruto looked to Sakura calmly. "I'm just there... I'm there to help you back up and protect you went needed. I won't let anything happen and I'll jump in at any given moment. Because you're my friend." Sakura smiled as she looked up as the orbs dipped into the tree and more orbs came out. Sakura gasped in awe of the scene.

"It looks just like it..." Sakura muttered as she held her hand out. She caught an orb on her palm and smiled. "Just like my dream..." Naruto smiled.

"There is no danger in this spirit..." Naruto spoke. "It must just be there to look nice... To light a path for those in the dark." Sakura looked to Naruto as he held his hand out and the orbs swirled through his fingers. Sakura smiled and took a calm breath as she felt her face warm up.

"Naruto-kun..." Naruto glanced over.

"Yeah?" Sakura glanced to Naruto slightly then back down.

"I..." Naruto looked at Sakura fully as he waited. "I..." But before she couldn't say more the bushes burst open. Genpaku and Sakura appeared with everyone. Li walking beside Yukito who held a bunny.

"Over already?" Naruto asked turning to the group.

"They couldn't settle the score, so the person at the booth gave us two." Tomoyo answered as Chiharu and Yamazaki stood behind her. Genpaku and Sakura stood beside Yukito as Toya walked up and held the rabbit out to Sakura.

"Here..." Sakura blinked and looked to Toya who was looking away. "If you don't want it, give it back." Sakura looked to the rabbit and smiled. She really liked it when Toya did these kind things for her.

"Sounds like you both paid enough for them rabbits and then some..." Genpaku stated as both sighed and hung their heads as Sakura took the rabbit. They really had gone to lengths for them and still didn't get them. No doubt they did pay enough for one or two each. Sakura smiled as she hugged the plush.

'I really wanted that moment to stay a bit longer... I really wanted to tell Naruto-kun.' Sakura mussed to herself as Naruto looked at Sakura.

Yamazaki glanced back as he pointed. "There was a snow-cone shop over there." Genpaku mused at the idea.

"Sounds good to me... I'm up for chocolate." Sakura nods.

Yukito glanced down to the nervous Li. "I'll buy you some in thanks for this." Li did not respond, just standing in Yukito's presence was hard enough. Yukito looked to Toya. "Come with us, Toya."

"What about you three?" Sakura Haruno asked Naruto, Sakura and Tomoyo.

"Um..." Sakura started.

"We'll be right there." Naruto answered. "I'm just going to stare at the stars some more." Sakura looked to Naruto before looking back to the group.

"Same." Tomoyo nods.

"We'll be with you in a bit..." The group nod and walk off as Naruto stood looking at the tree. Sakura stood beside the blond as Tomoyo looked on curiously. "What's going on?" As the glowing orbs returned Tomoyo marvelled the display.

"I saw something exactly like this in a dream." Sakura mentioned to Tomoyo. "And thanks to Naruto-kun. I know what it meant." Tomoyo glanced over as Sakura passed Naruto the plush.

"It's a..." Sakura nods as she pulled out her key and held it out above her head.

"Release!" The key glowed and the staff appeared as Tomoyo watched with her camcorder. "Return to the guise you were meant to be in... Clow card!" With a small tap the orbs gathered instantly at the tip of the staff and formed the card. Sakura smiled as she held her hand out as the card dropped into her palm. "The glow..." Sakura muttered. 'Just like what Kero said, that dream was a premonition... The continuation of the word 'probably' that I said in my dream was 'a clow card.''

"And cut." Sakura looked to Tomoyo and sighed as she noticed the camera. As Naruto passed her the plush Sakura started to walk. Naruto stood a moment as he looked away. "So it was a clow card?" Tomoyo asked and Sakura nods.

"I couldn't tell at all... I didn't feel its presence, either. Naruto-kun..." Sakura looked to Naruto and noticed his gaze at the sky. "Naruto-kun?" Naruto glanced round with a smile. "What's wrong?" Naruto shook his head.

"Nothing... But..." Naruto said as he turned to them fully. "I want you guys to meet someone." Both girls looked at each other. "She'll be joining our cardcaptoring from now on." Both glanced to each other again at the 'she'll' comment.

"Where is she?" Tomoyo asked. Naruto smiled as he held out his hand. Before him a seal appeared beneath his palm on the ground and a funnel of light appeared. "Oh..." Tomoyo held up her camera to record this.

"Due to what happened with erase." Naruto began. "With the fact that training leave's me without much magic left, he's given me an aid to work with. She'll help me from now on so I don't need to train with the fox..." With that white particle spiralled round. "She's made up of the foxes and my magical energy. So whatever happens affects her also..." Naruto said as the orb shone and uncurled. A small white fox appeared. Its fur was literally pure white as the light faded. Sakura had also noticed the red lines that were on the small kits eyes and side.

"Kawaii..." Both girls spoke as the fox landed on Naruto's shoulder.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Sakura-san, Tomoyo-san." The fox spoke.

"She's so nice..." Tomoyo spoke as she focused on it. Sakura walked up and leaned close, she smiled as the fox jumped on her shoulder.

"Kawaii... What's her name?" Naruto blinked.

"Um... I haven't thought of one."

"Hoe?" Sakura spoke. "You haven't given her a name."

"I just didn't know what was best." Sakura looked at the fox as it circled round her neck. She shivered as the fur tingled her neck. She needed a name.

"How about..." Sakura muttered as she smiled. She looked to Naruto. "She's a snow fox right?" Naruto scratched his head.

"Yeah... Arctic fox was what Kyuubi said." Sakura nods.

"Then how about... Yuki-chan?" Sakura asked as she put her hand on the fox.

"Snow... Yeah, sounds cool." Naruto commented with a grin. Naruto held out his hand the fox jumped to him. "What do you think? Yuki-chan?" Naruto asked.

"Yuki is nice... Arigatou Sakura-san." The fox mused as it nipped round Naruto's collar.

"Shall we go?" Naruto asked. He walked up to Sakura and both walked in toe with Tomoyo beside them. Sakura looked at the clow card and smiled.

'Because of this card, I was really happy... I just wish I could have told Naruto-kun.' Sakura glanced to Naruto and looked forward. She'd get her chance. With that, she slipped the card and sealed her staff away to enjoy the rest of the night with Naruto and Tomoyo.

XXXXXXXX

Say hello to Yuki everyone. Naruto's small sidekick to aid him. You'll get to know more as the story goes on. Plus, because of this, I have to do the next two episodes. So we have move, and then fight. Hehe, I smell sidekick vs sidekick in the fight one. Hm... What do I do with Li? I haven't really got a point to focus on with him... But yet... Maybe I do... It's all a matter of planning. So we may be stuck with melin, or I might score on my decision. Who knows, it's all when the time comes. Anyway, I'm going to do digimon and then I'll post these two. Also, Yuki is just bigger than a hamster. X3
