This chapter came up much later than I expected. Sorry, I haven't went on the computer lately because of school. But I really have been trying to make my chapters longer, but I don't think I'm doing a very good job. ^_^; I have been reading a lot more fanfiction stories than writing them.
But I hope you don't mind that I skipped most of the parts where the CCS characters explain about their powers.
Oh, and as for the names, I've been trying to write this how the clamp writers would. But I figure it would be easier if I just tried jumping to different P.O.V 's. Well, not really different p.o.v.'s, but... yeah... kinda switching to different main characters... This is getting confusing... If you want full details, leave me a note and I'll p.m. you.
But...putting that matter aside... Enjoy this chapter!

Feather In The Wind
A Tsubasa and Cardcaptor Crossover
Chapter 3 - The Guardian Diety
Sakura poked her head through the door into the quiet, yellow house.
"Otou-san? Onii-chan?" She asked as she stepped into her house. Once, she was sure her father wasn't home, she gestured the rest of the group to come in. Her brother already knows about her magical powers, but her brother is strongly overprotected of her and disapproves of any 'strong violence'. But she would need his help on this one.
Her boyfriend and the group of travelers stepped in. She watched her older counterpart closely. Her older counterpart beamed as she stepped into her house.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
Syaoran watched his princess look around her younger counterpart's house, taking in the 'kawaii' items.
The hime's counterpart went up to the bottom of the stairs in her home an yelled to no one in particular, "Kero! We're home!"
...
"Kero?"
"KERO!"
Syaoran winced at the litttle Sakura-hime's voice. He looked around to see Kurogane clearing out his eardrums and mumbling something about her loud, obnoxious voice and Fai was chuckling at it while rubbing his ears with a smile on his face. Mokona was holding its ears to its body spinning dizzily in circles.
Syaoran heard light footsteps as his youger counterpart walked up to his side.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
Shaoran smirked as he walked up to his older self. He turned to look at his older self before he said aloud, "Yah, get use to it." He then turned back to Sakura and a small smile sneaked his way onto his face. He then said in a soft whisper, the smirk still plastered on his face,"Her voice can be super deadly at times..."
"I heard that!" Sakura flipped around from the bottom of the stairs to glare at his counterpart. His smirk only grew wider as he stuck his tongue out at her,"You were meant too," was his short and simple reply.
Shaoran saw Sakura pout. He allowed a small chuckle to escape his lips. Somehow, he always finds a way to make his girlfriend pissed. But she was cuter that way.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
He looked down at his and the princess's counterparts(or as Fai calls prefers to call them, 'Chibi Syaoran' and 'Chibi Sakura') with an amused smile on his face. They were nothing like he and Sakura when they were young… before the feather incident. A small frown appeared on Syaoran's face.
Its been a while since he had really hated anything. But he knew he despised the feather incident. He thought it would be better to just forget about the incident. He tried, but he couldn't forget. He couldn't forget about the incident, their memories, his feelings… but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't forget. He's not sure if he wants to either. He knew the from on his face deepened. No, he wouldn't frown. Not when Sakura was going through more pain then he was. He quickly covered his sorrowful expression with a smile. Little did he know, on Sakura's part, it looked like he was suffering the most.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
The princess slowly looked around her younger counterpart's house. Everything was so cute!
The lamp, the vases, the flowers… her gaze slowly made its way to a picture on a stand near the bookshelf in the kitchen. It was a woman with in a white sundress that flowed down to her knees. She recognized that woman as her mother*. She was holding a bouquet of nadeshiko flowers. Whoever photographed this was very talented.
Seeing the photo of her mother made her recall her last received was a family day. She with her father and mother, Fujitaka and Nadeshiko, and Touya. They were at a meadow in a neighboring country. From what she recalled it was pretty far from Clow.
There was someone else too. She just couldn't remember who. All she remembered was that the person, just from being there, brought a smile to her face.
Sakura glanced over at Syaoran. She sightly frowned as she noticed the painful expression that clouded his face for a short second. She slowly walked over to him.
"Ne, Syaoran?" Sakura said to Syaoran as she walked over to from her previous spot. She saw him flinch a little, probably because she startled him from his thoughts.
As he turned his body over, Sakura was able to get a clear look at his eyes. Pain. She walked closer to him and cupped his left cheek with her hand.
"I told you this once, and I'll tell you again," Sakura whispered as their eyes locked into a staring session, "Don't hide your pain."
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
"Ah…," Fai had a playful smirk on his face as he looked over to Sakura and Syaoran. He couldn't make out most of the words of their conversation. He saw Syaoran's expression soften up as he raised his right hand and rose it to Sakura's hand and took it in his own. Fai saw him smile before nodding. Both of them had a faint blush on their faces. The blush clearer on Sakura's than it was on Syaoran's.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
He was surprised Sakura's sudden action.
"Sometimes the heart forgets, but the body remembers," was what Mokona had said a few worlds before.
"Hai," Syaoran replied to what she had told a few seconds before. He couldn't help but smile.
He saw the princess smile back. A slight blush appeared on her face, causing his own to heat up. They both pulled their hands away from the other.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
Sakura held her hand up to her chest. She could hear her heart beating. She just hoped Syaoran couldn't.
A scream from her counter part snapped her and Syaoran out of their daze.
"KERO-CHAN! I'VE GOT CAKE!" Her counterpart yelled once again. Sakura looked around and saw the rest of the group and the 'Chibi Syaoran' flinch. She found it odd that her counterpart's loud voice had no effect on her. Maybe because it was her own voice, just louder? Or maybe she had just gotten use to the constant yelling of Fai's, Kurogane's, and Mokona's.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
Sakura sighed as she glanced up the stairs again. There was no yellow bundle flying down the stairs.
Maybe it was because Kero decided to take a nap, like usually, or maybe he was too sucked into the video game he was playing, like usually. Both options were probably extremely accurate.
She frowned. But usually when she mentioned cake, or any other kind of sweets for that matter, he would zoom downstairs at supersonic speed.
She waited awhile. Still no Kero. Maybe it was because he knew she didn't have any sweets he could literally throw himself into? Nah, whether there was actually any cake or not, whenever he heard the word(even in his sleep), he would come racing down. Maybe he went somewhere?
Sakura turned around to face Shaoran and the strange group of travelers.
"I'm gonna go upstairs and see what's taking so long." She said before she raced up the stairs and to where her room is.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
"Kero...Kero, Kero..."
Mokona repeated the name to itself* as he pondered on where he had heard that name before. Mokona had made so many friends in so many different worlds that he couldn't remember where he had heard that name before.
"Kero-chan," Mokona said again while standing on night stand placed near the front door,"Think Mokona... think... Where have you heard that name before?"
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
Kero-chan... Think Mokona... Think... Where have you heard that name before?"
Kurogane groaned as he heard the white puffball talk to itself again. It was just talking way too much, even for a Mokona.
He grabbed the white bun by its head as it let a a small scream.
"Why are you talking to yourself, you little freak?" He impatiently ask the white ball in his hands. He wanted to know why it wouldn't shut up.
"Mokona wants to know something." Came its reply.
"If I helped you figure it out would you shut up?" Kurogane wanted to make Mokona shut up, no matter what it takes.
"Yay!" Mokona cheered,"There is a nice man under Kuro-pipi's mask after all!" It beamed.
"Oh, you just shut up."
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
He had heard the calls from his mistress, but he had chose to ignore them. His view was focused on the Sakura cards that were glowing on top of Sakura's desk.
He was floating in front of them,sitting criss-cross and his arms folded against his chest, trying to figure out the reason for their shine.
He was deep in thought for a while before deciding to do a fortune-telling. He took out the cards and shuffled them in particular order with his left hand. He then set them up in a certain way.
He flipped over the first card out of the five in the middle row.
Fiery. The start of a adventure of quest.
He nodded in understanding before flipping over the second one. He heard Sakura's call for him again, but he simply pretended like he didn't hear it and went on with the reading.
Dream. The sign of a wish or desire that will soon be fulfilled.
Kero was strongly confused now. Out of the many readings he had done with Sakura, Dream had never been in of the options. It is rare for a wish or desire to be granted.
He gave a short hesitation before flipping over the next one.
Shadow. The sign of a truth that will soon be uncovered.
Truth, eh? He wondered who's or what's truth that they will discover. He flipped over the fourth one.
Storm. The warning of troubles and hardships that will soon be thrown in their directions.
Kero's breath was short in his throat for awhile. What will happen to his mistress in this adventure or quest she is or will be participating in?
He held his breath. The last, but not least, card in the fortune-telling. He flipped it over. He sighed in relief.
Hope. The realization of one's true feelings. The fact that everything will be alright.
He was confused of the fortune. Adventure, desire, truth, hardships, and the realization of feelings. 'Whose feelings?' he wondered. He knew it wasn't Sakura's or the gaki's, that's for sure. Had something already happened that he was no informed of? If that's true, he is going to be really mad at Sakura.
Kero was to deep in thought to hear the door creak open.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
"Kero!" Sakura yelled as she jumped into her room.
"Wah!" Kero yelled before losing his concentration and fell backwards. Sakura went up to him to see her Sakura cards scattered on her desk.
"Ow..." Kero groaned in pain as he rubbed his head with one paw. The other paw supported his body up.
"Sorry Kero!" Sakura cried before picking him up and placing him on her bed.
"Yeah,"He said as he glared at Sakura," Sorry doesn't cut it"
Sakura pouted and folded her arms across her chest,"It's your fault you didn't come when I called you."
"I was busy!" Kero protested. He stood up,"I was doing a card reading."
Sakura's ears perked up,"Really? For what?"
Kero scoffed,"Oh, so NOW you're interested. I'll tell you about the card reading only after you tell me what made you decide to come up here and disturb my thoughts."
It was like a light bulb flicked on in Sakura's brain as she remembered her first purpose in coming to get Kero in the first place,"Kero! I forgot!" She cried.
She grabbed Kero,"I'll tell you what happened right now that scared the heck out of me and you can tell me what happened with the card reading on the way downstairs."
He nodded,"Deal."
Shaoran paced back and forth at the bottom of the stairs. What the heck was taking his girlfriend so long?
The travelers were currently making their selves comfortable on the living room couch, not noticing the worry look on his face.
It has been 10 minute since Sakura had went upstairs to get Kero. 10 WHOLE minutes. And she wasn't down yet.
Should he go up and see what was taking so long? If if does barge in and everything is perfectly fine, it would be embarrassing. Maybe Sakura decided to take a shower. Nah, he didn't her any water running and it was strangely quiet upstairs. Could it be that she is changing? If she is and he barges in... well... Shaoran blushed at the thought.
He heard a door upstairs open. He sighed in relief.
"We're coming!" He heard Sakura yell as he heard her make her way through the hallway. Shaoran looked up the stairs to see Sakura come bounding down, with Kero in her hood, wearing a different outfit. So she DID change.
"What took you so long?" He asked. He knew Sakura only took a few seconds to change, so there has got to be another reason for her delay.
"I called Tomoyo and told her and Kero everything," She stressed the word out. Oh...that explains it. Shaoran knew Tomoyo hated being left out of Sakura's cardcaptor festivities.
"Lemme guess,"He rolled his eyes,"She's on her way here right now."
Sakura giggled. "Yup." Then a thoughtful expression came over her face."What do you mean by long?" She asked Shaoran,"I only took ten minutes!"
He scoffed,"That's pretty long." Sakura sighed. He never was patient.
"Com' on!" Kero yelled from Sakura's hood. Shaoran almost forgot Sakura's main purpose for her trip upstairs was to fetch Kero,"Get a move on! I wanna see the travelers!" He paused for a while. "I have questions to ask 'em."
Sakura nodded as they began to walk towards the living room.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
"Mokona's head hurts!" Mokona groaned. It has been trying to remember who Kero is, but it only resulted in a big headache.
"Give it up, snowball," Kurogane told Mokona. He had given up a few seconds after they started.
"Who is Kero...?" Fai asked himself,"Hmmm..."
He had offered to help Mokona after Kurogane proved to be useless. Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona sat a a three-cushioned sofa in the living room(but big enough to fit 5 people), while Sakura and Syaoran sat on separate chairs across from them, a small coffee table in between them.
They heard footsteps as the living room door slid open.
They heard a few gasps.
"You!" Mokona yelled as it caught sight of the yellow bear floating next to Chibi-Syaoran and Chibi-Sakura.
"Kero-chan!" Mokona cried as it bounced of its spot on the sofa to greet the bear which it finally remembered.
"Eh?" Kero gave a confused expression as Mokona jumped him. Mokona knocked him to the ground in a bear hug.
"Do I know you?" Kero sweatdropped as it looked at what seemed to be a huge white manju bun hugging the air out of him.
Mokona released Kero,"Hyuu huu huu... Mokona forgot! You are different from the other Kero!"
Kero nodded. The group was surprised when he showed no act of confusion when Mokona exclaimed 'the other Kero'.
"Yes. I am different from the other Keros in separate dimensions." Kero stated, earning a gasp from Sakura. "Clow taught me and Yue all about the existence of separate dimensions."
"Kero-chan!" An angry Sakura cried as she grabbed Kero and stretched it him out by the cheeks,"You knew and you never told me?"
"Sakura..." Shaoran sweatdropped as he watched Sakura swing Kero back and forth.
"You never asked!" Kero retorted back, through difficultly, seeing that his cheeks were outstretched by Sakura.
"Hmph," She puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms as she let Kero fly out of her grasp.
Among the group, Fai was the only one not sweatdropping at Kero's and Sakura's quarrel.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
Kero flew out of Sakura's grasp and rubbed his cheeks with his paws. He then flew towards the coffee table in between the sofa and chairs.
Mokona hopped onto Sakura's head as she and Shaoran walked over towards the couch where Fai and Kurogane were sitting and sat down beside them.
"So you guys,"Kero took a moment to point in the direction at the older Shaoran and Sakura before turning around and pointing to the other three travelers,"Want assistance to find that missy's," he then pointed again to his mistress' older counterpart,"So-called memory fragments?"
The group nodded. Everyone was intently listening and held their breath as Kero made his decision.
"Okay." He shrugged.
The group released their breath as Shaoran and Sakura sweatdropped. That was very un-Kero like.
"That's it?" Sakura asked her guardian.
"No 'But-its-gonna-be-dangerous' act?" Shaoran raised his eyebrows. Shaoran knew Kero was protective when it came to Sakura, not as much as Touya, but yeah, protective.
"Shut up gaki, before I change my mind," Kero said as he and Syaoran shot daggers.
"Yay!" Sakura as she hugged Shaoran out of joy,"That means we can help you guys!" Sakura faced Big Shaoran and Sakura(she decided it was easier to call them this on her part). She saw Big Shaoran's relieved expression.
"Thank you," He said with a smile.
Some time went by after their conversation. Sakura and Shaoran were in the kitchen making dinner and preparing tea.
Kurogane was sitting on the couch grumbling. He hadn't had a good fight in a while. He saw the younger Syaoran and Sakura walk out of the kitchen. The girl holding a plate of cookies and the boy holding the tea. As the younger Sakura placed the tray of cookies down, the two stuff animals rushed towards the plate, breaking apart from their earlier conversation. It has only been a few minutes but they became good friends.
"Kero!" The girl yelled as she picked up the yellow stuff animal by the wings,"Save some for our guests!"
"Yeah Kero!" Mokona agreed as it stuffed its face with the cookies.
"Sakura!" Kurogane watched it complain,"Lemme down!"
The younger Sakura sighed and placed the yellow thing down,"Just don't eat it all," She instructed before assisting her boyfriend with the tea.
Kurogane turned his attention to his three human companions playing with a game with small pieces of paper called 'goldfish'.
Fai must have noticed his gaze because he turned to him and smiled,"Kuro-sama! Wanna play with us?"
"Like I'll ever play with you,"He rolled his eyes and rolled onto his back.
"Oh yeah!" He heard the little girl cry. Man, won't she shut up?"My friend is going to be coming over any second now. She knows about magic, so-" She was cut off by the doorbell. Kurogane saw her beam. "Yay! That's her right now!"
He watch as she shuffled out the living door. He heard her footsteps and the front door opening.
"Sakura-chan!" Kurogane couldn't help by categorize the voice as familiar.
"You're finally here!" He heard the young Sakura's voice,"Come in!"
The living room door slid open. He lied back down. His face facing the ceiling. He didn't bother to see who this 'friend' of hers is.
"Minna," The cheerful voice of the small auburn hair girl said," My best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji."
Kurogane froze for a quick second before struggling to sit up. He gaze saw the dark hair girl with amethyst eyes.
She bowed,"Konichiwa."
"Tomoyo-hime?" He cried as his eyes widened.
Yay! I finished! I'm so tired. It's so longggg. I know its probably short to some of you readers, but yeah, its pretty long to me. xD I hope you enjoyed it.
