A/N: Well I've discovered that making multiple stories at once makes update timing so conflicting. I've been thinking that I should start my other new ones, update the new one, or update this one. I know I shouldn't give up on this one yet, so here's chapter 4! Again, thanks to all who reviewed/favorited/alerted. The Hallelujah chorus sing whenever I see the number increase. Sorry if I'm not updating as fast as I've anticipated. I'm trying to get more descriptive and plan out more filler, but keep the parallelism. Well, here you go!


"Where did she go now?" Syaoran mumbled to himself as he scanned the street infront of his condo. He was quickly learning about Sakura's new found curiosity as he lost her for the umpteenth time. They didn't even get to his home yet and she's already acting like a little kid going to the zoo for the first time. He paced down the street and still had no luck.

"Sakura?" Tomoyo repeatedly cried out in a sing song voice as she was walking at Syaoran's side. Her heels were only a few inches tall, but they were beginning to wear her down. She sighed and stopped, realizing that they weren't getting anywhere. Syaoran looked at her questioningly, but before he could utter a sound, a streak of white and pink zoomed past them.

"THERE SHE IS!" Tomoyo proclaimed before dashing off to the direction Sakura skated to. Sakura turned around and stuck her tongue out at the two, beginning to skate backwards. It was fall, so the leaves were gliding along the breeze around her. Syaoran's eyes were full of fire while Tomoyo's eyes were full of stars as they pursued Sakura.

"Oh Sakura! You're so cute!" Tomoyo called out and both Syaoran and Sakura sweat dropped. Sakura smirked and turned back around to increase her stride when they began to catch up. It was a good thing she brought those skates!

Sakura was zipping past everything and feeling invisible as she kept her pursuers in the dust. Her victory was short lived, though, when she tried to make a sudden stop in front of oncoming traffic. She was going too fast to make an abrupt stop, though, and tripped in front of a speeding sports car. Sakura screamed as her life flashed before her eyes while bracing for the impact.

'Oh, woe is me! I escaped death by an accident, but will come to my demise from a car anyway! Oh, the irony! I was so young with so much to live for! Oh - wait why am I not dead yet?' Sakura thought to herself before opening her eyes again. In her panicking frenzy, she didn't realize that Syaoran dashed to her side, picked her up, and ran to the other side of the street before the car could hit her. He was holding her bridal style and she blinked when she met his glare.

"Hoe?" she said, confused. His glare intensified and she turned deep red as she realized her position. She started flailing her arms and legs around, so he put her down. The car which threatened her existence pulled up next to them and a girl slightly shorter than Sakura stepped out. She had waist long, layered auburn hair and big, cerulean blue eyes which shined like sapphires. Her skin was almost as light as Tomoyo's and she had the perfect figure. She wore a white vneck under an unzipped maroon hoodie. She had dark blue skinny jeans on which hugged her nicely shaped legs and grey mocassins. The expression on her face was one of shock.

"Are you guys okay? Xiao Lang! What the hell were you thinking by chasing a girl into traffic?" the girl exclaimed at Syaoran, who seemed a bit intimidated.

"It's not my fault! She was supposed to unload the car, but the second we take our eyes off her, she vanished! If it wasn't for me, she'd be dead already!" Syaoran said after sizing up to her. Sakura had to admit, although the girl was shorter than Syaoran, her attitude made her seem 6 feet tall. Tomoyo finally caught up to the group and was catching her breath.

"Nice -huff- of you -huff- to finally -huff- make -huff- it, Amaya." Tomoyo managed to muster between breaths. She was crouched down with her hands on her knees. The girl smiled and approached Tomoyo.

"Easy there, girl. Remember, hands above your head, straight posture, and deep breaths." Amaya told her as she helped Tomoyo into a more suitable recovery position. Tomoyo followed all the instructions and her breath began to be regular again.

"Is this the girl you guys talk about?" Amaya said as she pointed at Sakura with a cocked brow.

"They talk about me? But we never even met befo-" Sakura started but was cut off by Tomoyo.

"YES, THIS IS SAKURA-CHAN! Amaya, Sakura. Sakura, Amaya." Tomoyo said unnervingly. Sakura felt her reaction strange, but dismissed it to shake hands with the girl infront of her.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you!" Amaya beamed at Sakura. Sakura only managed to nod back because she was so amazed at the girl's composure. Syaoran made the exchange short, though, when he coughed to remind everyone of this presence.

"Now before one of us gets killed, can we all just head back to the condo?" Syaoran sourly interrupted.

"I guess I should go since Xiao Lang looks like he's getting mad. I'm sorry for annoying you with my friendship!" Amaya huffed as she crossed her arms and turned her head away. Her nose was pointed to the sky to give her a look of childishness and of status. Syaoran let out an exasperated sigh as Tomoyo laughed at Amaya's reaction. Sakura continued examining the three. Amaya obvious closeness with Syaoran and Tomoyo was oddly irritating her. She didn't know why and found it foolish, so she pushed the feelings aside.

"Now, Ami, he didn't mean it like that. He's just been frustrated and is eager to go home. Xiao Lang, apologize." Tomoyo gestured at the two bickering. Syaoran decided to just admit defeat and held out his hand for an apologetic hand shake. Amaya opened one eye, while staying in her position, and looked at Syaoran. She started to laugh and threw her arms at him instead. He was shocked at first, but softened and returned the brief hug. They pulled away and smiled. Although Sakura knew it was something she would do to her older brother, that simple gesture irked her beyond belief.

"Can we just go now?" Sakura said in a low voice. She didn't mean to and she didn't know why, but her tone was almost threatening. All three looked at her curiously, but brushed it off.

"Alrighty then, Princess! We can all just go in my car. I'll drive!" Amaya chirped as she tossed her keys in the air and grabbed them. She openned her door and stepped inside after ushering them all to follow. Sakura was annoyed with the nickname, but followed anyway.

"Shotgun!" Sakura instinctively called and approached the door. However, when Sakura pulled at it, it was locked. She tapped at the window to signal Amaya, who understood and pressed the unlock button. Sakura pulled on it too early, though, and the door was still locked. Amaya ushered her to wait, but it seems the two could not sync, because each time, Sakura still pulled too early. Amaya, Syaoran, and Tomoyo sweat dropped at Sakura's frustration.

"Here, just let me do it." Syaoran mumbled. At the first try, he opened the door and stepped in. Sakura began to whine, but Syaoran began to explain how he was 'more worthy' of the seat since it opened for him.

"Nevermind then! Some bodyguard you turned out to be." Sakura groaned before sitting in the back seat. Although all were silent during the short car ride, Sakura kept imagining romantic exchanges between her bodyguard and little miss perfect. She huffed and crossed her arms as she glared at the two the entire way there. Tomoyo found this absolutely adorable and just kept laughing.

Syaoran's P.O.V

I swear that girls will be the death of me. I could feel Sakura glaring at me the entire ride, but I didn't dare to look back. I feared that she remembered, but dismissed the thought. She couldn't have remembered. She'd be at my neck right now if she did. The two minute car ride kept dragging on and on. When we got there, I almost rejoiced outloud as I bolted out of the car. Sakura and I started unpacking from my car in complete silence. We avoided each other's glances at all costs.

"Hey, Xiao Lang." Sakura said as she broke the silence. I gulped as I slowly turned my head and met her solemn expression. I made some sort of pathetic grunting sound so that she'd continue.

"Do you know how far Syaoran lives from here?" That single question opened the heavens and made the sun shine on me. She really didn't recognize me. She really believed that I was someone else. I contained my excitement as I made my best effort to nonchalantly shrug. She frowned and just stood there, looking at the sky.

"Thanks for earlier. I can tell you're good at what you do. I know I'm asking for more than your bodyguard duties, but I'm going to need your help. Protect me from him. I don't know why, but I don't want to see him. Not yet, anyway." she said softly. I felt ambivalent to her words. On one hand, this would be making things easier. On the other, I am blatantly tricking her.

"Alright then. I'll do what I can. What does he look like?" I kicked myself as I asked. It was wrong, but I need to make sure that she won't piece things together.

"I don't know. I've never seen him, I think. I'm just going by what his mom looks like." she shrugged. I secretly thanked the guy upstairs for my lack of resemblance with my mother.

"Well then I'll keep a look out for him." I smiled at her and placed my hand on one of her shoulders to reassure her. I think this gave the opposite affect, because she tensed up and averted my gaze. I just pulled back and carried her luggage away. She obviously has some things to figure out and I'm not going to try to figure it out for her. Not again.

Sakura's P.O.V

I followed Xiao Lang into his condo, which was impressive for a young adult. It was the penthouse of a 14 story building and had 5 rooms. It covered the entire sixteenth floor and roof, but the roof above it had a glass roof. The stairs themselves looked like they were floating glass, so the idea of walking up them made me nervous. However, when I stepped on them, I realized they must have been made of some other sturdy material because they made no noise and didn't falter when I put my and my luggage's weight on them.

Xiao Lang led me to a room at the end of the hall, which was quite cute, if you asked me. The room wasn't that tall or big, but there was a platform where a queen sized bed was that made it so close to the roof. I knew this was for the effect of seeing the stars well enough. Below it was a huge sliding closet that had mirrors as doors. There was a remote control hanging next to the door which controlled various things, such as lights and the sound system. Xiao Lang explained to me how to use it and to my relief, there was a mode where the windows would pull up covers so that no one could look in. There was a little study area that was also elevated, complete with a table, laptop, and rolling chair, and a huge flat screen at the side of the room parellel to my bed. In front of it was a three person couch and on the wall to the right of that was a book case.

I could feel Xiao Lang watching me as I looked around the room. I didn't mind, though. He must be paid a lot as a body guard if he can afford all this for a guest. Hence, he must be good at what he does. I climbed the little ladder to get to my bed and looked up at the beautiful sky and pushed open one of the glass panels to allow me to stick my upper body out. The roof that didn't have glass itself had a patio, lanterns, and a hot tub which made it look like the perfect hang out spot which I had perfect access to. I breathed in the air as I returned back into the room. I climbed down the mini ladder and opened a door to find a huge bathroom. There was a hole for a tub on the floor that could hold about 5 people and the toilet had its own mini room. There were two sinks with a garnet counter and that entire wall was a mirror. Next to the toilet room was a little cubical shower. I could barely contain my delight at the room, so I jumped into Xiao Lang's arms and thanked him. He stiffened, but returned it and I let go. I started spinning in a trance. It was like my dream room, but better.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Lang asked me and I stopped, feeling a bit dizzy. I looked at his direction and nodded. He gave me a weird look, then just left the room to let me unpack in peace. I hummed happily at the freedom and laid my luggage down as I started to unpack. I don't know why, but it just felt so good to get out of the house and live somewhere else for a change. A lot more than my 13 year old self should feel. Then again, it just might be my 24 year old self nagging me.

Third Person P.O.V

"Sakura-chan liked her room?" Tomoyo asked Syaoran, who just nodded as he entered the living room. Tomoyo was on the table and eating a bowl of cereal while Amaya was lazily laying on the couch with her legs dangling from the armrest and her ears covered with headphones.

"I'm glad." Tomoyo smiled as she pushed around the bits of cereal floating on the surface of the milk to make shapes. Amaya kept swinging her legs to a beat and mumbled incoherent lyrics. Syaoran took a seat across from Tomoyo and leaned forward.

"Should we let 'maya know?" Syaoran whispered to her in a low voice. Tomoyo looked up and noticed that their faces were merely inches apart, but calmly put down her spoon and smiled at Syaoran. She intertwined her fingers and propped her elbows on the table, allowing her to rest her chin on them.

"We both know that she'd kill us if she knew what we were doing. Now the only thing we can do at this point is make sure Amaya doesn't say anything that will make Sakura figure anything out. It's too late to turn back now." Tomoyo said with a voice like aspartame, artificial and unnaturally sweet. Syaoran opened his mouth, but no words came out, so he backed up and sunk back into his seat. He already figured out what she said, he just didn't want it to be true. His thoughts were interrupted as he felt his cellphone vibrate. He froze when he saw his mom's name pop up on the caller id.

"Wei?"

"Syaoran! Good news! We found the perfect bodyguard for Sakura. He said he could get there in a week." Syaoran groaned when he heard this. An entire week was way too long. A couple hours of his plan and he already feels like shit. His guilt will eat him alive by the time the week is over!

"Fine. I'll keep watching her until then. Anything else?"

"Hm. Nope, none that immediately comes to mind. Let us know if you need anything!"

With that, he hung up and pushed back his hair.

"Xiao Lang? Tomoyo? Where are you guys?" a faint voice called out. It was no doubt the lost Sakura wandering the halls. Suddenly, Amaya burst out a high note and started using pencils as drumsticks by tapping a fast rhythm on the coffee table in front of her. Syaoran and Tomoyo jumped at the sudden outburst. Sakura rushed into the room with a bat in her hands, about to attack what was making the noise, but dropped it when she saw Amaya in her trance. Suddenly, Amaya's eyes flew open and she looked at the three.

"What's going on? Why is everyone looking at me?" Amaya asked slowly as she slid off her headphones to her neck. The three sweat dropped at her.

"Well I'm bored! Let's go do something!" Tomoyo suggested. Syaoran sighed and sunk back into his chair, itching to get back to work. It wasn't that he was a workaholic. He just likes things done his way, and what better way to ensure that than to do it himself? Unfortunately, his mom made them all take a month off for Sakura's visit, so they were all stuck in an unplanned vacation.

"Oh! I know! Let's go to The World station and play!" Amaya said with her finger up in the air, as though she just stated something brilliant. Tomoyo clapped in excitement as a sign of approval.

"The World?" Sakura subconsciously asked with a tilted head.

"Oh yeah! The World wasn't made until 3 years ago, so of course you wouldn't know. The World is an interactive video game that actually takes you inside the game. There's different servers, so you can live however you want. It's one of the most popular games out there." Tomoyo stated matter-of-factually. Sakura didn't have time to ask another question, because the next thing she knew, the two whisked away with her with Syaoran following their trail to Amaya's sports car.


"Welcome, users." a computerized voice greeted. The three rushed to the middle of the room. Sakura couldn't believe how much technology advanced as she stepped into one of the station's rooms. She felt like she was a computer piece or something when she saw that the black walls had neon green characters flying up. Even the floor had the moving codes. The room was round and had human size, circular pods bordering them. In the middle was nothing, until it sensed her approaching it. A holographic screen flew up which read "Username","Password", and "Server" in boxes. Sakura couldn't believe what was in front of her, so she touched it and out flew a keyboard.

"Need help?" Amaya asked Sakura, who seemed a little overwhelmed. Tomoyo and Syaoran were already logged in, so it was just those two left conscious in the room. Sakura looked at the girl and the holographic screen disappeared as a pod behind her opened. On the top was a slot that now said "Night_Rain." Sakura stubbornly shook her head and just pressed the projection until she found the registration page.

"Alright then. It's the Oto server, by the way." Amaya said as she shrugged and entered her pod. Inside were various wires connected to a white catsuit and other wires meant to be attached to the head.

Once Sakura was content with her user information, a pod opened behind her as well and had similar contents. Sakura entered and the door sealed shut behind her. She looked around for directions, and saw a diagram of what she was supposed to do. Curiously, she slipped out of her clothes and into the catsuit. The suit scared her a bit, because it began to shrink so tight, it was like a second skin. It was surprisingly breathable as well as movable. Sakura attached the sticky pads at the end of the wire to her face as the diagram showed, and right as she attached the last one on her forehead, everything went black.


"Welcome, CherryBlossom14." Sakura heard as she saw her body materialize into a cherry blossom forest. She was on a wooden bridge and examined herself. She had pointed black dog ears, small white wings, a black blazer that stopped on her waistwith a pink fabric cuffing the ends, a black dress with pink sides which hugged her upper body nicely and loosely hung below her waist until a few inches above her mid thigh, black mid thigh high boots, and pink shorts just in case her dress were to fly up. In her hand was a staff which was also pink with a star at the end and small wings at either sides. She smiled contently at the character design she chose.

Suddenly, a dark shadow formed around her and as she looked up, a gigantic bird with a wingspan of two people was descending upon her with its talons pointed right at her head. Not knowing how to do anything, Sakura began to run and scream, but it was no use. The bird continued to pursue her. Just when she swore she felt the talons scratch her head, the bird disappeared. Sakura looked around and saw Syaoran returning his sword to its sheath. Behind him was Tomoyo.

"Why would you go pick a fight with a huge monster like that?" Tomoyo asked in concern. She had a slightly revealing, tight archbishop outfit. It was navy blue, which contrasted her white skin nicely. It was full length at the back, but at the front, it was cut mid thigh and at the sides, so it was movable, but still covered if she stood up straight. She had white hosiery tied to both her legs and a big, gold cross on her torso. The shirt itself was low cut, but had an open white sweater that stopped at the waist and clipped at the collarbone all the way up to the neck, as well as hug her body, causing the revealed skin to be a triangle that showed slight cleavage. On the top of her arms, she had two small golden crosses that matched the big one.

"Why would you dress like that?" Sakura raised a brow at her. Tomoyo gave her a questioning look, then looked down at what she was wearing.

"Well, I knew I couldn't fight, so I wanted to be a healer, but when I looked at all the female healer outfits, they were so boring! I decided to spice it up. After all, you can only dress like this in video games." Tomoyo replied with a wink. An unfamiliar, black haired girl came from behind a bush and approached them while mumbling something inaudible.

"Nice of you to join us, Meiling." Syaoran remarked to her. Meiling shot her tongue out in protest. She was wearing her traditional martial arts outfit and held no weapons, which was quite strange to Sakura.

"I would've been here sooner if you didn't invite me last minute!"

"It wasn't my idea." Syaoran murmured.

"Calm down! Cousins shouldn't fight." another figure with midnight blue hair said as he arose from the shadows of the trees. Tomoyo's cheeks immediately reddened when her eyes met his. He had huge, circular glasses on and a long, dark blue staff with a large, crescent moon on the end. His outfit had an identical color scheme to Tomoyo's outfit.

"Out of it, Eriol. You're late too. Where's the rest of you guys?" Syaoran snapped. Eriol flashed a good-natured grin at him and stood beside Tomoyo.

"Well, Chiharu and Takashi had an anniversary planned today, but since Takashi got her mad over god knows what, they needed to make their celebration a group one. Of course, I would tag along, but I'd rather spend time with my girl." Eriol said as he grabbed Tomoyo by the waist. She giggled and nuzzled her head onto his neck. Meiling pointed inside her mouth and made a gagging noise while Syaoran just rolled his eyes.

"Hi, I'm Sakura." Sakura butted in and everyone just looked at her. She didn't realize how awkward she may have seemed until after she said everything, and was suddenly red with embarrassment. Eriol was the first one to act like he didn't care and slipped his arm away from Tomoyo.

"Hello. My name is Eriol. I'm Tomoyo's boyfriend, as well as Xiao Lang's cousin and that is Meiling, Xiao Lang's other cousin. Nice to meet you, Sakura-chan." Eriol charmingly drawled as he reached for Sakura's hand and kissed it. This regal gesture, coupled with his boyish charm and the sagacity in his words, instantly made Sakura red. Of course, this didn't go unnoticed by a certain little wolf.

"Eriol." Syoaran growled, but before Eriol could ask, they were interrupted by a certain cerulean eyed girl.

"Here you guys are! I looked everywh - Wait, did I miss something?" Amaya exclaimed as she approached to everyone. She was wearing an ashy blue ninja outfit. The top was tight, strapless and curved to accentuate her chest shape, small waist, and cleavage and ended a few inches above her mid thigh. The front was open and revealed shorts so short, Sakura could swear it was just matching colored underwear. There was a matching melt that was outlined in gold that was tilted around her waist and her forearms were wrapped in some sort of grey cloth. Her hair was up in a pony tail and a black cloth mask was over every part of her face from the nose down. She had very thin, black hosiery on her legs and ash blue boots that ended below her knees. Tomoyo sweat dropped at the inconvenient, yet somehow, oddly convenient, timing.

"Well we should get going! Can't let the princess be out here without any tools, right?" Amaya said as she winked at Sakura, further irking her.

Sakura's P.O.V

Little miss perfect led all of us to this little cafe she apparently owns in the game. It was like a little cottage at the edge of town with a cobblestone path leading to it. Inside was a counter, a stage, tables, and a separate room for the kitchen. The atmosphere was lightly decorated with dim lights, book cases (although the idea of them was stupid. I mean, it wasn't even bright enough to read!), and maroon cloth. There was a fair amount of other players there eating and drinking with computer programs serving them. We all sat down on a table near the counter and had a glass of hot chocolate. Surprisingly, there was a taste! It was like a swirl of chocolaty goodness was caressing my taste buds. Man, modern technology will never fail to amaze me. I examined all the details on the glass I could find. It was almost better than in real life! The logo was what caught my attention the most, though.

"Why would you name it 'Baka Neko?'" I couldn't help but ask. It was such a stupid name, after all. She must have sensed some hostility in my voice, because she raised her eyebrow at me.

"Well, Xiao Lang HATED the fact that your mom, who, by the way, co-created half the servers with The World creators, made the best server have the same name as a dimension and the fact that I insisted on purchasing this area to make a cafe for money. I mean, I was going to name it Cat's Eye, but when I hung up the sign, it 'mysteriously' broke into a million pieces when Xiao Lang was in the room and all Xiao Lang could say was 'Baka Neko.' I sorta just stuck with that since." Amaya said as she shrugged as she walked behind the counter. She grabbed some glasses and started to wipe them with a white cloth. Xiao Lang silently followed her and sat on a chair across from her. He was just watching her with this weird intensity and she was just letting him like it was perfectly normal. It was both endearing and irritating.

"Sakura-chan! You're going to break the glass!" Tomoyo shrieked to break my trance. I looked at my hand and my fingers were clenched tightly around the rim of the glass. Before I could process what she said, the glass shattered in my hand and I winced a little. I knew that I wasn't really bleeding, but it still felt pretty real. A dozen computer waitresses rushed around me, panicking. You would think that none of them has ever seen a glass break. Only one had the common sense to get me a healing potion and poured it on my hand. I was just about to thank her, when I noticed something else that was interesting.

"Why does she look like me?" I snapped at Amaya, who was giving orders to some programs. It was true, though. The program before me was the spitting image of me. She was thinner with shorter hair, but resembled me none the less. I'm guessing the panic was too great, though, because she just ignored me and kept talking to her programs. My hand began to glow and pixelate, so the program just left.

"That was actually my idea. It was just to poke at my cousin's hate of Tsubasa." Eriol answered me. I propped my elbow onto the table and just rested my head. Everyone else in the group was talking about their friends and I suddenly felt alienated. I looked at the blank stage and began to wonder why it was there. All that was on it was a grand piano. Oddly, it enticed me and I walked over to it. It must have been allowed because no one stopped me. Then again, no one was paying attention to me. I opened the magnificent instrument and ran my fingers over the ivory keys before taking a seat. I smiled and began to wish that I took lessons. I pressed my fingers over certain keys, expecting an inharmonious chord, but instead, heard a sweet melody. I placed my other hand and they seemed to begin to move by themselves.

"Ame ni nureta hoho wa..." my lips began to take their own lives as my fingers glided along the keys. I closed my eyes, but I could feel everyone stare as I did what I least expected; I played You Are My Love, a Tsubasa song.


Third Person P.O.V

"I didn't know she can play the piano!" Amaya said as she bounced with excitement and put down her glass. The customers seemed to be enjoying her and a crowd accumulated in front of the stage. Syaoran even turned his chair to watch.

"I didn't know either." Syaoran murmured. He watched Sakura's melody captivate everyone. She really was full of surprises. Her ability to play should have been erased like everything else. A smile crept onto his face as he closed his eyes and reminisced.

Flashback

"Sakura! I brought you food!" Syaoran beamed as he walked into the Kinomoto residence with a bento in one hand and a surprise in another. No one responded, though. Not even her over zealous mom or over protective brother. All he could hear was the soft echo of the piano. He followed the sound to a marble room. The acoustics were greatly complimented and, as always, Sakura was wrapped up into her music. Syaoran smirked and sneaked up behind her.

"Boo!" Syaoran yelled into her ear. Sakura automatically jumped and swung at him, which he expertly dodged.

"Syaoran!" Sakura barked at him before crossing her arms and turning back to the piano. Syaoran grinned and sat next to her.

"Take a break. You need it." he commanded as he kept one arm behind him and dropped the bento on some keys. It made a loud, disruptive noised which caused Sakura to flinch. Before she could protest, her stomach grumbled and she sighed as she unwrapped the container. She picked it up and brought it to her face before gulping it all down. Syaoran grinned and placed his elbow on the keys, interrupting Sakura's thoughts yet again.

"Syaoran! Get off your elbows off the keys! It's irritating!" Sakura started before she heard a little barking noise from behind him. She turned to him and raised her eyebrow.

"Well, I wanted to surprise you, but this works too!" Syaoran explained as he brought his hidden hand in front of her. Sakura's eyes glistened as she gazed at the little creature in his hands.

"He's adorable! What's his name?" Sakura asked as the baby German Shepard bounced into her arms and licked her face.

"You tell me. He's yours. Just don't tell your parents I gave it to you." Syaoran winked at her and reached his fingers over to pet its head. It began to bite it and Sakura giggled.

"His name is... Kero!" Sakura avowed as she held the puppy in front of her face. Syaoran couldn't help but smile. He never could resist that urge, especially when she was happy too.

End of Flashback

'I hope you end up happy, Sakura.' Syaoran thought to himself as she finished her song.


Well describing video games outfits are a pain. I think it was fifty percent of the words. I couldn't think of any guy outfits, so you guys can imagine whatever you like. I have no idea why I put so much effort into it, since I don't plan on them going to the game any time soon. They might by themselves, but since it won't be for plot development, it won't be an elaborated part again. I pulled Tomoyo's outfit out of memory, so you might find it if you look. I have no idea where it was from. Sakura's outfit was one of her's from the series. If you couldn't imagine a good enough picture, http : / / farm1. static. flickr . com /112/ 291619297_ced7353336. jpg By the way, Amaya is an original character that I'll be using frequently. I somewhat fell in love with the name since Amaya means Night Rain, which has a purpose in another plot, Amaia means The End, Maya means Illusion, and Ami means Asia Beauty. The name is terribly poetic and flexible! I hope you guys like it so far. The story is beginning to pick up the pace! Anyway, read and review please!

Rainbow Cherry Blossom: Sorry, I try but I still do run ons from time to time. Sure! One question, though. What's a beta?

Anatholia: That's great! Can't wait to read it then! (:

redeyes143: HOPEFULLY. I also hope this chapter was long enough, even though most of the words were excess details.
