So...here is a list of Japanese words used in this chapter:

kaijuu: monster

Otou-san: father

Oka-san: mother

All right! Lets carry on!

Enjoy!

Chapter Three

They had just come out of the cinema. It was snowing gently, and a towering Christmas tree stood in the middle of the shopping square. Fairy lights wrapped around the real pine leaves, and a large digital clock was counting down the seconds to midnight.

Five…

Four…

Three…

Two…

One…

"Merry Christmas." Katsu murmured to the excited girl beside him, who was holding up her video camera, recording everything. "I have something to say to you."

"Hmmm?" She turned, capturing him on tape. Her long, wavy ivory hair was pressed under a wool hat with a pink pompom. She had a matching scarf wrapped around her neck, and her nose was red from the cold.

Katsu leaned in and whispered, "I like you. I like you a lot. I'll never let you go like the other bastards. I'll never hurt you. I promise. Will…will you be my girlfriend?" Her heart was pounding furiously, and she was blushing like mad. She nodded once. Then, she threw her arms around his neck, unable to stop herself from smiling.

"Yes!"

The video came to an end, and Tomoyo was left in the dark room, chasing after memories of the boy she loved.

And holding onto a few broken promises.

"So…the kaijuu didn't get any valentine's presents today?" Night had fallen outside the window, and rain was pouring down heavily.

Sakura glared at her brother, Touya. "Don't call me that!"

"Kaijuu."

STOMP.

"OW!" Sakura smirked. After having years of practice, her foot stomping was deadly accurate.

"Otou-san…he's busy tonight? Again?"

"Yeah. He has to prepare for his presentation." Seeing the worried look on his little sister's face, he added, "Don't worry. He's got loads of people helping out. He'll be okay." Sakura nodded, but she couldn't stop feeling anxious. She hated it when her father pushed himself too hard.

They fell into a comfortable silence, until Touya broke it again. "How's the brat doing?"

"He…he's fine." Sakura stood up. "Chores are on me today, right?" She picked up her tray with her rice bowl and plate still half full, and walked towards the open kitchen. Touya stared at her incredulously.

"You're done already?"

"Mmm…I'm not really hungry today. I think I ate too much during lunch," which was a complete lie because her lunch was rotting away in the trash bin. "Just call me when you're done. I'll clean up." She disappeared up the stairs, leaving Touya alone at the dinner table. He picked up the photo of their deceased Mother, who was smiling gently through the glass.

"Oka-san…I think our little Sakura is starting to grow up."

Syaoran was lying in bed with a book in his hand, the heavy rain making a soothing tune as it fell from the heavens. The alarm clock on his bedside table showed the time in neon green: 1.30am.

His phone vibrated and he picked it up, frowning. "Who the heck wouldn't be sleeping at this hour?" he muttered angrily. It was a text from Fumiko. He still regretted giving her his number.

Syaoraan darling…I can't sleep. I was thinking about you. (; Text me back, kaaay? Tee hee! I love you! Fumi

He gagged, staring at the text in horror. Just when he was about to turn back to his book, his phone vibrated again.

Syao syao. Why haven't you texted me back? I'm waiting! (; Fumi

He growled. She was starting to piss him off. She could wait for all eternity for all he cared. His phone vibrated a third time and his patience ran out. He threw it across the room. He didn't even care if it broke. Anything to stop those annoying sickly sweet texts. It hit something soft and fell to the floor with a thump. He looked up and his eyes widened. His phone hit a bear.

A handmade brown bear named Sakura, which had been sitting there all along.

A couple was running for shelter, laughing and splashing through the downpour despite being drenched to the bone. Towering trees stood in two rows, lining the path that led out of the park where the couple had been before it started raining.

They were so drunk with love that they didn't notice a silvery figure, darting from tree to tree, following them silently. As the couple reached an empty crossroad, the figure plunged forwards. There was a flash of gold, and the figure was gone.

"Come on! There are no cars anyway!" The girl tugged at her boyfriend's sleeve, impatient to get to the opposite side, where there was a restaurant, warm and friendly. They ran across, ignoring the little red man on the traffic lights. Suddenly, a car swerved around the corner. There was a screech of tires and a scream. What used to be a happy couple lay in a puddle of blood, their hands still linked.

The silver figure stood on a thick branch, observing the scene before it turned and dashed away, in search of a new subject.

In the maternity ward, a woman was soon to be a mother. As her child was born into the world, a figure melted from the yellow lights hospital lights. Its body shimmered as it approached the newborn child, as if it was made out of golden dust. There was a streak of silver, and the figure melted away.

The baby took his first gulp of air.

Cerberus woke up abruptly, as if somebody had shocked him with electricity. He pushed his drawer open and peered out, looking at the bulge under the covers. The bulge snorted and rolled over, still blissfully asleep.

"Sleeping like a pig….no sense of danger…" he muttered. He flew out and landed on the windowsill, watching the rain. His eyes narrowed as he looked around for any signs.

A few blocks away, Yue was standing in his courtyard. The light from the moon seemed to be soaked up by his presence, and he was emitting a soft glow. He spread his wings and took to the sky, sweeping the neighbourhood. The two guardians had felt the same thing.

The presence of two very powerful Clow Cards.

Kyahahaha! That's it for now!

I hope you all liked that :D

I'll update soon!

Ja ne!

N.B. To those who are confused about Syaoran's bear named Sakura. It is a belief that when you give your crush a plush bear that you have handmade and named after yourself, the both of you will be granted eternal love. Awwww!
