Chapter 11: Sakura Vs the CIA

In the cool darkness of the night, the rain hits the glass quietly as the two Sakura’s share there bed, the cool lime of the white shine from a outside sleep lamp refects its glare through the glass, and filters through the blinds, The quiet sbtmherebtmherenore of kero is heard as its echoes out of the room he lives in an goes unnoticed. Sakura-Chan moves slightly and awakes form her sleep, realising were she was, she moved slowly down the side of the bed and slid to the bottom, slowly she unnoticeably dragged a sheet on her clothing, it dragged unearthed Sakura from where she slept, Sakura-Chan sat up and levered herself over her counterparts body, still not realising that she was draping a bed sheet, eventually Sakura-Cha got up, as she did, the sheet attached to her jacket, pulled and moved Sakura off the bed.

After hitting the floor, Sakura-Chan rushed to Sakura. Still with no idea what time it was, she remains with a fuzzy vision of Sakura-Chan. Eventually, both realise what just happened.

“Um…sorry” Sakura-Chan whispered.

“That’s ok, Sakura-Chan” Sakura spoke looking at the clothes “did we ever change?”

“No Sakura, I think we both fell asleep, still I think I better change”

The both of them take turns changing and then started to retire to bed. Sakura sits down and looks at Kero’s bedroom for a minute, then thinks.

“Sakura-Chan, if you got out of bed, what did you get up for?”

“Um…I was going to get water, I need a drink” Sakura-Chan responded,

“Ok, can you get me one too?” Sakura asked in comical sense.

Both girls giggle, Sakura-Chan grabs a touch from the drawer above Kero’s bedroom, which acted as a light for it, and walks down stairs to the kitchen. Sakura-Chan opens the fridge door, and is blinded for a second, reaching down to the bottom shelve, suddenly a fly whizzes past. Sakura-Chan fends it off and grabs the water jug. Pouring two glasses, Sakura-Chan then again is interrupted by the fly, she didn’t remember that fly before, and thought where it had come from. Forgetting the matter, Sakura returns to the bedroom in complete darkness. Curiously the fly follows Sakura up the stairs and down the hall to her room.

Sakura then closes the door on the fly, unable to get in it draws away. Inside Sakura lies awake looking at the shadowy figure of Sakura-Chan. They both sit to the side of the bed and finish the glasses of water, both looking out of the window at the weather pouring rain on the quiet town. Eventually, Sakura and Sakura-Chan were done and laid down on the bed and started to sleep. Both were still wide awake and looked at nothing, and then Sakura-Chan finally spoke,

“You know what?” Sakura-Chan Spoke.

“What?” Sakura softly spoke.

“It doesn’t feel like that we are the same person anymore, because your like my big sister now…”

Both Sakura’s pondered at the though, not having an older or younger sister before. Being the only girl in that house had its set backs. Sakura-Chan then finally commented,

“Well I’m now glad I have a sister, Sakura!”

“Same here”

Both giggle at the though and sleep more at ease at that knew thought.

The Alarm clock screeched its annoying sound, both Sakura’s react and attempt to deactivate the alarm, only to knock into each other; Kero-Chan awoke of the sound of two people fitting the floor. Bemused he falls out of his tiny bed, and starts to fly out to examine the damage.

“What happened?” Kero-Chan spoke

“um…oh…what…?” Sakura moans still half asleep.

“Come on Sakura, Sakura-Chan .You have school today”

Sakura-Chan gets up and walks to the closet and selects a fresh uniform, “I’ll go today…yesterday was too close”

Sakura understood her concern and picks herself off the ground. Both clean and organise themselves for the school day, Kero, grabs a miniature nap-sack and flies into the smallest part of Sakura’s School bag. He positions himself in the bag and sits down, Sakura looks at Kero and then asked,

“Kero? What are you…”

“I’m going again, only this time I’M ready!”

“but when did you make this?”

“Last night, when you and Sakura-Chan where asleep”

“Ok, but…never mind”

Sakura-Chan walks down the hall to and down the staircase, without amazement Touya is in the kitchen cooking breakfast, there are 3 plates set; only he and she are home. Sakura doesn’t become surprised from his presence at all, but Sakura continue to look at the extra plate. Curiously Sakura clearly figures that’s it’s for Sakura and sits down, again Touya absently sits down at the other side and starts to eat silently. Sakura then starts to walk downstairs to meet the past family she once was apart of.

“Morning Sakura-Chan, Touya-Kun” Sakura cheerfully speaks.

“Morin” Touya response quietly,

Sakura and Sakura-Chan sit side by side and start to eat the breakfast. Touya then east and stares at both Sakura’s, Touya then pauses to observe the identical pair, eating the same meal, in the same position and at the same rate, in time with each other, occasionally one was faster or slower, but it was completely a weird and ironic experience, not only where they the same person, but it was a duplicate of her sister, the magic part may be old news, but this was nothing that could be handled. Fortunately Touya could immediately tell which one is the real Sakura and which one is the future Sakura. Kero-Chan hides and waits for the day to begin, only being staved by the sounds of the girls munching there breakfast, he just was dieing to eat breakfast then someone speaks finally,

“Hey monster, have you fed mini-monster?!?”

Kero steamed,

“No...Um…What do have?” Sakura-Chan asked in fear, she knew that he was revealed to Touya, but the feeling of Kero-Chan’s secrecy was still a predominate thing.

“Sakura, what are you planning to do today? I don’t want you to laze here all day”

Sakura looked at Touya firmly; Touya looked back and then had to look away.

“Sakura, Sakura-Chan…just make sure you don’t cause any more trouble than before” Touya spoke as he ate his cereal.

Sakura and Sakura-Chan both agree and start to eat there meal. After some time had past, Sakura-Chan was happily on her way to school while upstairs Sakura was preparing to leave, this time wearing clothes in the wardrobe. Just before Sakura left, her phone rings.

“Hello, Sakura?” Spoke the other voice.

“Oh… Morning Tomoyo, You at home?” spoke Sakura to the familiar voice.

“Yes, listen…I need help…those trucks are outside the house, can you get Syaoran or someone here?” Tomoyo pleaded.

“On the way...I’ll call Yamazaki, he has the know on this sort of stuff”

Sakura hangs up and continues to ring a another number Sakura-Chan rushes around the corner as she comes closer to school, without sudden, a muffled  phone ring starts to go off, Sakura looks around, only a few people are standing near a bus stop. Sakura-Chan then realises that it’s inside her bag, but checks her pocket. Her mobile is in there. Inside the bag, kero is strapped into his homemade capsule; he looks at his phone and pushes the answer button.

“This is Kero – Go ahead…” Kero speaks as he is pushed around as Sakura-Chan skates.

“Kero…its Sakura, tell Sakura-Chan that I’m not going to be able to watch her today, Tomoyo is in a situation at her place and needs help”

“Gotta, how long will it take?” Kero asks,

“All day, maybe”

“Ok, I’ll tell Sakura-Chan, bye”

Kero hangs up and tries to speak to Sakura-Chan, the loud noise of her old skates and the traffic from the road somewhat drowns his low tone voice. Kero sparks an idea and rings Sakura-Chan. Sakura-Chan picks up the phone and speaks,

“Hello?”

“It’s Kero”

Sakura-Chan stops dead in her tracks, takes the bag off and unzips it, then emerges kero a little shaken from the movement of Sakura’s bag.

“Sakura just rang, she said Tomoyo is being filmed, Tomoyo-Chan may still be there but, they said it’s a risk” Kero explained to Sakura-Chan “Sakura and whoever they can muster will try to rid the problem”

“Ok” Sakura-Chan answered “Now get in the bag, before were spotted!”

In a tree just across the road, an agent spots Sakura-Chan and kero chatting, he looks at kero slowly and starts to write notes down. Sakura-Chan and kero resume and rush around the corner before there both late. After some time spent, Sakura gets to school, and looks at her watch, she has 1 minute.

“Not today!” Sakura speaks, slamming her locker shut, kero inside still.

Sakura-Chan jump starts a full sprint down the hall. She then makes a sharp right and starts to climb a flight of stairs turns again and rushes up the stairs again. She reaches the third level and starts to full plight to make it on time. Dashing down the hall, enough to create a wind wake, she makes a sudden stop in about 5 metres of space; slowly she opens the slide door, and walks calmly to her seat. Sakura-Chan looks at the watch again, 3, 2, 1. The bells of the school tower rings on que, as does the teacher walking into the room.

“Morning class, I’ll be taking your class today as your teacher is sick today” Spoke the man “My name is Joseph Smith, I’ll be teaching your morning classes”

“Sakura-Chan looked around, Tomoyo was sitting next to her and Syaoran-kun was sitting behind her as was Meilin-Chan behind Tomoyo”

Sakura writes a message to Syaoran, Meilin and Tomoyo and gives it to Syaoran. Syaoran reads it and passes it to Meilin. Meilin reads it and passes it to Tomoyo. Tomoyo reads it and writes something new on the bottom and passes it to Meilin. Meilin reads it and places it in a dictionary and gives it to Sakura-Chan.

“What are you girls doing?” the teacher spokes.

“Um…we are sharing this dictionary” Meilin said.

“In English study?”

“Yes, it’s a translation book, see” Sakura-Chan flicks the book to a random page

The Teachers looks at it and stares closely at it, Sakura points at a page.

“Ok, now get to work” the teacher spoke.

Sakura, sits down and pretends to look up a word, and then picks up the paper, and reads it the entire thing;

Tomoyo – then is Tomoyo-Chan at home? She rung me before and told me there was trouble at her place, sakura told me, Sakura said she will handle that problem,

Sakura – Tomoyo Chan said that I should go to school, she rung me too. Meet me at lunch.

Meanwhile at Tomoyo-Chan’s home, Sakura and Syaoran look from a distance at the problem. Yamazaki is at the school but Yamazaki-kun, Naoko, Rika are also inside, preferring to sleep at Tomoyo’s house. Sakura and Syaoran look around and see two vans. They then look at Tomoyo’s Bedroom windows. Syaoran gets out his laser-pointer and aims it at the window and starts to move it around slowly. Sakura then looks at him.

“What are you doing, they can see it!” Sakura said scared.

“I know what I’m doing” Syaoran smirked.

Sakura looked at him seriously. For a minute, Sakura didn’t trust Syaoran. Syaoran slowly points the laser and moves it. Then suddenly, another laser points towards a nearby tree. It moves as if it was pen to paper. After a minute it stops, Syaoran nods an starts to run. Sakura just stood still confused.

“Sakura! Come on!” Syaoran yelled quietly.

Sakura just stood there in a trance, trying to figure out what Syaoran did.

“Honestly, Sakura; lets go!” Syaoran says as he grabs her by the arm.

Sakura and Syaoran run down the line to trees, towards the man-hole. Thankfully, no one is around to see this happen. Syaoran stands on top of the man hole and taps his boot twice on the metal and steps off. Sakura then realises what’s doing on and smiles.

“See Sakura, I know what I’m doing” Syaoran spoke.

“Ok, thank you” Sakura responded.

As they speak; the man-hole opens up. Sakura and Syaoran don’t hesitate and rush down the hole, remembering to close it again. The pat the walls and start to look for a light, Sakura walks forward in the dark and bumps into someone.

“Ouch!” Sakura spoke with face down in the dirt.

“Sakura, person – you both ok?” Syaoran spoke looking around.

“Who is that?” Sakura spoke facing someone in darkness.

“It’s me, Tomoyo!”

“Sorry Tomoyo…” Sakura spoke as she finally feels a soft body next to her.

“Is there a light?” Syaoran queried.

“I have to replace it someday, sorry” Tomoyo answered.

Sakura and Syaoran nod in the darkness and start to walk in the direction of Tomoyo. After five minutes of bumping around the passageway; Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran emerge in the back of Tomoyo’s large closet, inside as well is Naoko, Rika and Yamazaki-kun.

“Ok, what’s going on?” Syaoran speaks,

“Those trucks are filming us; we need to stop them, quickly!” Naoko spoke

“But with what? I haven’t got any cards to use! Sakura-Chan has them” Sakura reminded everyone,

“What? Don’t you have them?” said Tomoyo.

“We will just have to use old fashion tricks then” Yamazaki-kun speaks out.

“Then what do you suggest? Throw water on them?” Naoko spoke.

“Listen, we can do this; Syaoran Tomoyo and me will go down and get out again to try do something about there film, Rika and Yamazaki-kun, stay low and use this torch. Point it there, Naoko, make some monsters” Sakura said in one breath.

“Make monsters?” Naoko said “ok, I see what you mean”

“Let’s go then!” Tomoyo speaks presenting a new costume for Sakura.

Sakura sweat drops.

At School;

“Syaoran-kun, have you found your ring yet?” Said Eriol-Kun,

“Yes, but I don’t have the money, or at least I can’t ask for it from the family” Syaoran-Kun responded.

“Why not?”

“Because my mother doesn’t want me to marry, yet” Syaoran-Kun answered, “but everyday I feel like I could lose Sakura to someone else”

Eriol-kun and Syaoran-kun stand in the corner of the basketball court under a old oak tree, the bright sunny day also staring to bright with it the heat.

“And what about you, have you found that ring for Tomoyo-Chan yet?”

Eriol-kun produces two boxes and throws them both to Syaoran-Kun. Syaoran juggles to catch both but manages to get them. He opens the first one,

“That’s Tomoyo-Chan’s ring” Eriol speaks,

“Then what’s the other” Syaoran said,

“Sakura-Chan’s”

Syaoran-kun opens the box, inside is the same ring both Syaoran-Kun showed him as well Sakura pointed out in the shop.

“But how?” Syaoran looks at him,

“Just a guest” Eriol spoke.

Over on the over side of the playground, Sakura-Chan and Tomoyo look at Syaoran-Kun and Erio-kun speak.

“What do you think there up too?” Tomoyo-Chan spoke to Sakura.

“Don’t know, but it sounds like there you to something again” Sakura responded.

“Well let’s not just sit around, lunch is almost over” Tomoyo-Chan spoke.

The day was hot; it had been for quite some time. Like summer had come early this year. The clouds were absent for the bright blue sky. Sakura-Chan and Tomoyo-Chan start to proceed to the main building just as the bell rings for the afternoon classes. Syaoran-Kun and Eriol look from the distance towards the tree line. Syaoran-kun the suddenly blinks and stares potently towards the end tree. A long metal barrel poked out among the foliage,

“Eriol-kun!” Syaoran-kun noted.

“I see it to” Eriol-kun responded.

“Where is Yamazaki? Why isn’t he stopping this?” Syaoran thought,

“Lets go into hiding, quickly” Eriol decided.

Syaoran and Eriol go towards a line of bushes that create a small pathway. They both duck and continue towards a door. Sakura-Chan and Tomoyo-Chan stand and look at Syaoran-kun and Eriol-Kun moving.

“What do you suppose their doing?” Tomoyo-chan asked.

“Don’t really know” Sakura spoke looking at them enter a building.

Suddenly a wisp of air rushed right past Sakura’s left ear. In the direction of this air, o small piece of lead than made a loud crack as the object hit the dirt in front of them

“Sakura!!!” Tomoyo yelled.

Tomoyo-Chan and Sakura-Chan were in the open and were looking around form were the bullet came from.

“Get inside!!!” Syaoran yelled from the door.

“Hai, Tomoyo-Chan, lets go”

Both girls ran, no one seamed to notice what was going on, the gunshots were silenced. Tomoyo-Chan tripped over the gavel and hit the dirt hard. Sakura-Chan reaches and fell into Syaoran-Kun’s arms. Eriol-kun looked out for Tomoyo-Chan, still on the ground, slowly she got up again. Eriol-kun stared towards the tree, Eriol saw a sniper he watched carefully the gun aim toward Tomoyo-Chan’s neck. Eriol-Kun ran out again and slid down to his beloved and covered her. Suddenly a very loud gunshot was heard, everyone in the school heard it, and looked around or hit the ground. Eriol-Kun held on tightly, but nothing happened.

Sakura-Chan had closed her eyes, but opened them; Syaoran-Kun looked towards the tree. Then, out of nowhere, Yamazaki jumps out of the tree and walks of like nothing ever happened. Sakura and Syaoran, walked over to the tree and saw a gun, but no shooter, then Syaoran looked over the fence. A agent was knocked out on the ground his ammo scattered everywhere. Eriol-Kun got up and helped Tomoyo-Chan up as well. Tomoyo-Chan looked the worse for wear, having some bruises and scars obtained from her fall, Sakura-Chan rushed over to her friend, and helped her away.

Eriol-kun and Syaoran-Kun looked confused and found Yamazaki with the girls, Syaoran-kun and Eriol-kun. They looked at Yamazaki and spoke.

“Thanks” Both spoke to Yamazaki,

“As I said Syaoran-kun, as I said to Syaoran; I have revenge to pay” Yamazaki spoke quietly

Yamazaki then walked away silently, something disturbing him even more. Eriol-Kun looked relived, but Syaoran-Kun looked concerned. They had managed to come out of this, but how many times could then do this. They might not be lucky in the future. Sakura took Tomoyo-Chan to the first aid, her leg was broken.

“I should ring her mother” said the nurse.

“Don’t, I take her home after school” said Sakura-Chan.

“Well, okay. But because I know that you are friends” the nurse said.

Sakura-Chan turned to Tomoyo-Chan on the bed,

“See you later Tomoyo-Chan” Sakura spoke as she left the room for class.

Meanwhile at Tomoyo’s house,

Sakura and Syaoran reach the man hole again, against everything that Sakura and Syaoran said, Tomoyo still brought her camera. Sakura and Syaoran moved outside and return to were Syaoran used the laser pointer. Tomoyo held back on the other side of the road were it was thickened in bushes. Syaoran spoke briefly,

“Just like old times, when we were capturing the cards” Syaoran spoke,

“I don’t remember hiding in bushes” Sakura half joked.

“Ok, lets see…” Syaoran looked at the trucks “Look, one van is parked next to a fire hydrant.

“But, how do we use it?” Sakura spoke again

Both crouched down and thought, suddenly Sakura thought,

“Use your fire element to melt the cap off” Sakura spoke,

“No, but that gives me and idea”

Syaoran released his sword and used the water element.

The stream of water smashed the cap off and the van was literally pushed over by the force of water element. Syaoran then got up and swung out another element paper,

“God of lighting” Syaoran spoke “hai”

A bolt of lighting sprung from the paper and hit the van directly, electrocuting everything in it, Syaoran got down into the bushes again, Sakura and Syaoran giggled as two agents opened the back door and hit the ground clutching there ears. Tomoyo giggled to getting the picture,

“I finish the last one” Sakura said,

Syaoran just looked at Sakura as she moved towards the other van. Tomoyo looked confused as did Syaoran. Sakura positioned herself behind a tree and looked around. Sakura took a glance at the van as the two back doors opened. And a agent ran toward the wrecked van being sprayed with water. Syaoran caught up with the second van and sat next to Sakura.  Tomoyo crawled down the bush and stood new to the van across the pathway. Suddenly, the second agent walked out and looked up at the window. There was some kind of monster inside.

“What the hell is that thing?” The first agent spoke pointing at the window.

“Forget it , help agent 57 up, there van just blew up!” the second agent spoke.

“whatever”

Both agents walk away from there vechile, Tomoyo see’s Sakura and Syaoran moving back down for some reason.

“What are those two doing? there going to get caught” Tomoyo thought to herself.

On the other side of the road, Sakura and Syaoran think. Sakura then whispered something to Syaoran. Syaoran and Sakura nodded at each other. Sakura awoke her wand and Syaoran raised his sword.

“god of fire” Syaoran whispered to his sword “hai”

Just as the paper touched the side of his sword, a fireball streaks out from nowhere, the fireball emerged and started towards the second van.

“Sakura!” Syaoran spoke.

“Time!” Sakura spoke.

The yellow velvet of time frame froze and suspended everything in thin air, Tomoyo was left gasped, the two agents saw her, but all were frozen in time. Syaorans fireball stood still and suspended in the air, still on course with the van. Sakura and Syaoran remained unharmed because of their magic.

“There is Tomoyo!”

“she’d get killed there, lets move her back into the house, then undo the magic”

“Ok, Syaoran. But I can’s go, I have to keep the time card working”

Syaoran nodded and ran towards Tomoyo picked her up and started to jog for the manhole. Sakura held the time card by her two fingers and ran towards the ladder down. Syaoran and Sakura with the frozen Tomoyo ran towards the ladder into her bedroom.

“Ok, we are all safe; Sakura let my fireball do the job” Syaoran spoke.

“Hai!” Sakura said, releasing the power of time back the card form.

Outside the two agents regain their movement, just as the fireball hit the fuel tanks of the second van. A loud explosion rocked the ground, Sakura screamed as small fragments hit the windows. Everyone in the house heard the van gone off home.  Syaoran and Sakura got off the ground and slowly looked outside the window. A tower of smoke rose from the burning van. Sakura stepped outside on to the balcony for a min, Syaoran followed. Yamazaki-kun and the girls stayed inside in the dark room. The sound of police sirens and the piecing sound of three or four car alarms shattered the silence that was there less a minute ago. Sakura stepped on something that cracked of glass and metal, she removed her foot to relive a scoured broken video camera. Sakura had a sick feeling for a minute and took a closer look at the name on it:

Daidouji Tomoyo

Sakura’s sick feeling turned into a extremely sick and cold one. Syaoran looked at Sakura sobbing.

“The time card must have transported her back to that exact location, because she doesn’t have magic” Sakura sobbed and then started to cry “I just killed my best friend!!!” Sakura hugged Sakura and started to cry even more.

“Sakura, Tomoyo didn’t die” said Syaoran hugged her.

“She was, she would never abandon her camera! She just got burnt to death!!!” Sakura yelled at Syaoran.

“Sakura, I kicked the camera out of her hand!”

Sakura looked at Syaoran who was smiling, Tomoyo then walked outside.

“What happened?” Tomoyo asked and looked at the wrecked vans “oh my, I was just there, I could have been blow up with it!”

“Tomoyo, you’re alive!!!” Sakura jumped on Tomoyo, accidentally making Tomoyo and herself fall into a outside sun lounge.

“What Sakura? Why did you think I was dead?” Tomoyo asked as Sakura got off her.

“This” Syaoran produced her destroyed camera

“oh” Tomoyo spoke.

“Well, I’m still glad that your ok” Sakura sniffed and hugged Tomoyo.

“Me too” Tomoyo spoke.

Meanwhile,

In the park after school, Sakura-Chan, Tomoyo-Chan and Syaoran-kun, walk silently down the path towards Tomoyo-Chan’s home, Sakura looks up at the darkening blue sky, the day was fading quickly, and Tomoyo couldn’t walk because her leg was broken after what had happened at the school today. Syaoran and Sakura decided to get her home to Tomoyo. As they walked, Sakura noticed what was by now a faint smoke trail in the direction of Tomoyo’s house.

“What could have happened?” Syaoran-kun asked.

“I don’t know” Sakura-Chan spoke.

“I hope that everyone is safe” Tomoyo-Chan said.

Sakura-Chan’s phone started to ring. Sakura-Chan picked her mobile out of her pocket and spoke,

“Hello?”

“Its Tomoyo, you ok?” Spoke Tompyp

“Yes, what happened? I see smoke” Said Sakura-Chan.

“Syaoran and Sakura exploded a van outside my house, Yamazaki-kun and the girls have gone to Naoko’s house, her parents are away for a week”

“Blew up a van? Is there any police?”

“Only a few, but you can still go in the front way, no one suspected a thing”

“Ok, bye then”

“Bye”

Sakura place he phone back in her pocket. Syaoran held Tomyo’s left side up and Sakura regained and help lift up Tomoyo-Chan’s bag and carried it. Eventually Sakura-Chan, Syaoran-kun and Tomoyo-Chan all managed to get home. In the foyer, Tomoyo’s mother was standing talking to a police officer about the bomb. Sakura quickly knew that this spelt trouble. Sonomi quickly took notice of her daughter and ran over.

“Tomoyo-Chan, What happened?” Sonomi Spoke.

“I fell over today, sorry” Tomoyo-Chan spoke to her mother,

“Oh dear, Sakura-Chan can you please take Tomoyo-Chan to her room, I’ll be up shortly”

“Ok Sonomi-Sama” Sakura spoke.

Sakura hurried down the hall to Tomoyo’s room, Syaoran opened the door and entered. Inside, Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran sat down on the couch waiting for news of there friends.

“Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, hide!” Sakura-Chan said.

Sakura lifted Tomoyo-Chan onto the bed Sakura and Tomoyo came up to the bed, and saw the scars that she obtained from the school day. “What happened?”

“We will Explain later, now hide…”

As Sakura-Chan spoke, the door opened, relieving a tired Sonomi,

Just in time, Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo dived into the Closet.

“Ah, Sakura-Chan, and li-kun, thank you” Sonomi said.

“We are sorry about what happened” Sakura pleaded,

“It’s ok, I know that it was an accident, I know you, Syaoran-Kun and Eriol-kun, would never harm my Tomoyo-Chan”

“Um...can I stay here tonight and keep her company, I feel sorry I didn’t stop this from happening”

“You can stay with Tomoyo-Chan tonight”

“I’ll need to go home, I promised Meilin-Chan to be home by now” Syaoran-kun spoke.

“Ok, Syaoran-kun. Goodnight” Sakura-Chan spoke.

Inside the closest, Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran over here the conversation.

“Lets’s all leave, Tomoyo I don’t you’ll be sleeping here for now”

“Ok, But where will I sleep?”

“My place, Touya knows anyway” Sakura-Chan.

“Lets go, now”

Syaoran-kun walks towards the man hole and waits for Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo to get up and out of the man hole. The evening sky is clear. Stars and the moon appear brightly tonight. Not a cloud anywhere.

“Well goodnight Syaoran, I’ll take Tomoyo home for the night”

“Ok, ring me in the morning” Syaoran spoke,

“Ok, goodnight Syaoran, Syaoran-kun” Tomoyo said.

“Goodnight Sakura, Goodnight Tomoyo” Syaoran-kun said.

Sakura and Tomoyo started for home.

Sakura-Chan sat on a chair beside Tomoyo’s bed. Watching her friend slowly fall asleep, the darkness of the room, lit by the moonlight, objects created long shadows. The clicking chime of a grandfather clock the only noise other than Tomoyo-Chan’s breathing. Sakura looked at the Tomoyo-Chan,

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect you today” Sakura-Chan thought and spoke to herself,

“Sakura-Chan” Tomoyo-Chan spoke as she awoke from her voice.

“Did I say that aloud? Sorry I woke you” said Sakura-Chan.

“That’s ok Sakura-Chan” Tomoyo softly spoke again “Your too tired, come sleep in the bed”

“But, will you mind…I’m not really tired” Sakura-Chan said.

“You won’t be a trouble Sakura-Chan, please...you need to rest, and I know that you want to protect me, but you are still my friend...please you need to rest”

Sakura-Chan nodded and laid herself down under the sheets of the warm bed. Tomoyo-Chan turned over and looked at Sakura-Chan looking up.

“Sakura-Chan, it wasn’t your fault, and you didn’t let me down, you always pull through and that’s why I admire you”

Sakura-Chan looked to Tomoyo-Chan. She was completely right; Sakura-Chan smiled and spoke.

“Thank you Tomoyo-Chan” Sakura-Chan spoke.

Sakura-Chan and Tomoyo-Chan then drifted asleep.

Meanwhile at Sakura’s House, Sakura and Tomoyo were also going to bed. Sakura and Tomoyo took turns changing.

“Sakura? Who is going sleeping in the bed?” Tomoyo-Chan asked looking at the smaller bed.

“Both of us” Sakura responded.

Sakura and Tomoyo both lie down, and turn the light out. Both remain silent; the only sound was that of Kero-Chan snoring in his room. They get up and sit in the bed, there tired bodies ache to go back to sleep. They look at out the window and at the moon, after some time Tomoyo spoke

“Sakura, what would you of done if I did die?”

“I don’t know Tomoyo” Sakura spoke “I never feel safe without you”

Tomoyo looked at Sakura on hearing that,

“Without me Sakura?” Tomoyo spoke.

“Yes, today I thought that you died, because of my magic. That same magic that I mastered from fearing, because you were braver than me sometimes” Sakura explained “you always encouraged me, even when I didn’t feel right”

“Sakura?”

Sakura and Tomoyo both stand up and face each other.

“That’s why I’m glad I got to know you Tomoyo, we have both been there when we needed help, and I’ll help you always”

“Thank you Sakura” Tomoyo said, hugging Sakura

“Thank you Tomoyo” Sakura said, hugging Tomoyo

Both of them laid on the bed and feel asleep quietly.

The End
