Chapter 2
AN Woah, man, I never expected to get over 10 reviews. Thank you all.
Aleris: sorry but I'm not Clamp so expect some minor OOC ness. I'm really sorry about those lapses of depiction but I can't really help it. As for the short temper I just use the books as reference. When Syaoran doesn't like someone he really get mad easily. There is also the matter of his training and all that. So many factors come into play I won't count them.
Kawai-Fairy-Emma : I'd say yes but since you'r reading this you already know right ^_^
Blaco: The ranking is based on the fact Eriol gave up half his powers to Fujitaka. With the drop of power he became weaker than Syaoran. This being said, he is the reincarnation of the once most powerfull sorcerer and had all his powers. He, however, doesn't raise in power like the two others since his powers originate from another life. Also, Hermione isn't classed fourth strictly speaking. Her aura is at the level of Syaoran's sisters who are weaker than their mother and even weaker then half Clow. I didn't mention Eriol because he isn't in the story yet. As for the description of her robes I'll give it to you. Keep in mind I'm not that good at this, my sister is the future clothes designer, I'm a deluxe furniture salesman so while I'm creative when it involves wood and raw materials. Clothes are just plain clothes to me. First she has a cape completely white with a star on it, Sakura written in the center of it, she has a Long flowing pink robe with the moon on the left side and the sun on the right. Her collar is golden and the rim is red. She also wears dark blue gloves and her hair is tied with a long flowing pink ribbon. There, done. Since I did it for you please give me feedback on if it was any good. (Actually I got my sister to give me one of her drawings and tried to get something useful from it. It's more for her than for me.)
I believe most questions are answered for now. Sorry for not writing earlier but school and work takes a lot of time.
Disclaimer: I don't own either CCS or Harry Potter. If I did I would have seen the second Sakura movie ages ago and bought digimon just to change the pairings at the end ^_^. Please don't sue as I don't make a dime or even a cent out of this.
Chapter 2: Supper and get aways
Mr. Dursley and Mr Granger were in a conversation on Vernon's golf exploits when he eared the commotion. Under normal circumstances such things would not have happened but there was not only his nephew but also that psycho kid with the attitude. If only he was the father of that boy (we all know what he'd look like EWWWW) he would have disciplined him. He went upstairs, sure his nephew was doing something weird to his poor defenceless son. The sight that greeted him when he moved the girl, albeit a little roughly, almost made him wet his pants. A mane less lion with golden wings almost attacked him and the beast was at the beck and call of the girl.
Had the Grangers not been such good clients he would have raged at their abnormality. As it was, he came down with a white face and forgot all about golf and conversation something for which Mr Granger was quite grateful. He pitied his wife who was still stuck hearing the exploits of Dudley from the boys mother.
The small group of teenagers came down when Petunia called for supper. Harry was quite presentable at the table even if some of his manners were still not up to par with Hermiones. Syaoran had the perfect etiquette for such diners as it had been grilled into his mind from the many many sessions of good manners both oriental and occidental. Hermione ate like she always did in such occasions which is in a normal fashion. Sakura was the one most stressed of them all about the food. She could use a pair of chop sticks but the fork, while simple to use, wasn't her first choice. She was sure they all were looking at her as she ate. Dudley was as white as a sheet, shaking and his voice had taken a squeaky note as he was still shaken from his last encounter with the mighty Kerobero. The second any of the four made a sudden move he jumped on his chair.
"So Harry, while your aunt made a lot of comments about your cousin she never talked about you. Which school do you go to?"
Mrs Granger wanted to know the boy a little and while the big one was a fascinating specimen of a human turned baby whale the slim and muscular one pretty much passed under silence.
"He goes to."
Aunt Petunia wanted to say St-Brutus but this time Hermione beat her to the punch.
"He's one of my friends, you know, the famous one. Harry."
The girl was beaming while the whole Dursleys were almost having heart attacks. The principal interested was blushing all the while as he was sure she had talked about him a lot to her parents.
"You mean he goes to Hogwarts with you?"
Harry was on the verge of laughing as he was sure his whole family was about to collapse unconscious on the ground.
"Yeah, we spend quite a lot of time studying in the library or just practicing in a classroom or another with Ron most of the time. Hermione is the best witch in the school and we pride ourselves to being her friends as well as the ones to actually put spice in her otherwise boring life."
The Grangers looked quite happy of that while the Dursleys were horrified that their guests had the gall to be a part of the weirdness of their life. Vernon was about to have them out of his home when Kero poped his head out of under the table. The man simply shut up while the conversation derived on some sort of sport played on brooms. Both Harry and Syaoran were describing the various techniques and feints to an interested Mr Granger while Sakura and Hermione were engaged in a conversation on the dangers of the sport. Mrs Granger looked quite happy that her daughter was not involved in it more than as a supporter.
"Well Sakura, when do you want to go to Diagon Alley?"
"Sometime this weak, before we go to your other friends house or maybe we could go at the same time Harry and Syaoran do."
"Good Idea, Hey boys, when were you planning on getting your stuff for school."
"It's already taken care of for me but if you need an escort I'd be more than happy to provide one."
"Whenever you want to."
Both boys, eager to please, answered at the same time eliciting a giggle from the girls. They then turned back to their supper to find Kero stuffing a lump of bread down his throat under the gaze of an horrified Aunt Petunia who almost cracked into screaming.
"Kero! I told you to stay hidden."
"They.munch.obviously know about.gulp.magic so it's no problem. I was hungry anyway."
"sighSorry about Kero, he's a glutton and he goes out of control sometimes."
"Get.it.out.of .here."
Petunia was craking in front of the whole assembly and Vernon had to take her out of the diner room. Harry couldn't hold it anymore. He laughed, hard and loud. He was followed in his hilarity by Syaoran and Hermione. Sakura was still scolding Kero while Vernon returned with apologies.
"I'm sorry about that, my wife is scared of mice and she thought...OUCH GET THAT DAMN CRITTER OFF MY FINGER ! THAT'S IT, OUT, NO MORE CONTRACTS BETWEEN US ! OUT OF MY HOUSE ! POTTER GO TO YOUR ROOM !"
"Kero ! he was apologising !"
"But Sakuraaaaa."
Harry was still laughing while the Grangers were taking their stuff. He composed himself enough to escort them to the door.
"Sorry about the family, they are the worst parental unit ever !"
"I believe you, Mrs. Dursley actualy thought her son was normal and athletic !"
He opened the door and went out first.
Hermione's parents went to the car but she remained behind a minute longer. When her parents were out of sight completely she turned to Harry and once again, just like on platform 9 3/4 on the day they parted, she kissed him. she aimed for the cheek but Harry was already turning towards her. They ended up face to face, nose to nose and lip to lip. They barely made contact. Hermione apologised softly but Harry could only gape at the moment. He then smiled like he had been given the biggest diamond on earth.
"Bye Mione, see ya tomorrow."
"Were not at Hogwarts Harry. Are you all right ?"
"Right, then at Diagon alley tomorrow."
She blushed at his apparent eagerness to see her so soon. It was a miracle the Creveys weren't around to immortalise that particular moment as well as a shame.
"I'll try but I can't guaranty anything. If I go then I'll send an owl. Just send me Hedwidge tonight OK."
She turned on her heels.
"Goodnight Harry. Sweet dreams."
She disappeared into the car and it left the house of the Dursleys and Harry who still looked dazed.
Meanwhile, with Kero, still attached to a finger.
"How many times do I have to tell you that biting Syaoran won't solve anything ?"
"I munnow, Iw fells gwood twough !"
"Darn plush toy."
The aforementioned boy said between his teeth which resulted in a harder bite. That was one thing, and one too many Vernon and Syaoran had in common. Kero didn't like them. Not that Syaoran liked the man either.
"And don't you start !"
Both Kero and Syaoran also had the distinct reflex to obey each and every of Sakura's commands.
"Errr, Sakura, was that a car that just left? Wouldn't that be the Grangers? "
"HOEEEEE"
Harry came back in, he had a slightly dazed but it soon changed to realisation and a little guilt.
"I knew they were forgetting something. I'm really sorry you'll have to stay here tonight Sakura."
"I could fly over to the Grangers but.where exactly do they live?"
"I don't know, I'll owl them right away."
He left them to their own devices for his room. They followed in a silent agreement. Kero transformed to his true form and sat in front of the door.
"I'll stand guard here Sakura. I'd rather be inside but I'm more worried about these people than the gaki."
"Thanks, I'll pay you back."
Syaoran had the same idea but Kero was scarier then him to these people.
"You own me your next desert gaki."
They arrived in Harry's room to find him sending his white owl on her mission. They sat on the floor next to one another. Harry joined them after a second.
"So, how will we sleep? Sakura could take the bed while Syaoran takes the floor. I'll just sleep in the cupboard."
"There's no need for that Harry-san. You can keep your bed."
"Sakura's right, I don't trust the Dursley's anyway. We need to stick together here."
"I'll just sleep with Syaoran!" (How sweet and innocent)
The full body blush on the part of both males who were a little less innocent then the sole female in the room puzzled her to no ends.
"I'll just call Chou Li. He'll bring another sleeping bag and any other things she may need. Chou Li!"
pop
"You have called master Syaoran."
"Hoe ????"
"This is Chou Li, house elf of the Li family. Chou Li, If you would please take what the Card Mistress may need for tomorrow and anything that she may ask for. I'll trust you for the styles of dresses. Just don't take the whole house this time. This is just for one or two days."
"Yes Master. If Mistress would tell me all she needs. Chou Li will be sure to take it all."
She made a quick list comprising from normal wear to underwear. It was embarrassing when he asked for the exact measures but she still complied.
"Is that all Mistress?"
"Yes, just stop with the mistress thing, just call me by my name."
The house elf gasped and started to weep.
"P-p-p-p-please don't ask that of Chou-Li or I'd have to punish me."
"Calm down, she won't ask. Go now and take the package at the same time please."
At the order of his master the house elf brightened a little in relief and was gone in a puff of smoke.
"Why would he punish himself for that?" Harry asked "It's a stupid reason."
"We were not his first family. His previous masters threw him away and we took him in like countless others but he still has some reflexes like calling people master and punishing himself."
"How horrible!"
"I agree Sakura but."
pop
"I have brought everything mistress. The night clothes, the toothbrush, the hair brush, the B cup bra, the panties and your robe for tomorrow. I also have your package master. Your mother has need of my services for the next 12 hours master. I must take my leave."
pop
Harry had turned away from the sight but Syaoran was too stunned from seeing the pile of clothing with the undergarments neatly folded on top. He was red, very red. Sakura realised the position of her clothings and hid them behind her. It was too late as the imagination of the Chinese teen was set loose. The thoughts shall not be disclosed here but you can do so as well if you are perverted enough HENTAI!!!!! He shook out of it when she made a statement.
"I'll get changed now so if you don't mind getting out."
Harry moved wordlessly but Syaoran was stuck on babbling.
"Ok.I'll just.be.outside while you.err.get dressed."
"Yes now out before I call my Niisan."
He almost ran out as he finally regained all his faculties.
"He's so silly sometimes."
We return to the boys in the corridor leaving Sakura to change alone.
"So, if I am right. Sakura would be your girlfriend."
Kero growled under his breath while Syaoran blushed but did not answer.
"I hope you didn't do anything gaki or I'll be sure to tell her brother."
"NOTHING HAPPENED OVERSIZED PLUSH TOY"
Petunia was the one to go up the stairs this time screaming like a banshee. The only difference being Banshees are prettier.
"WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THE RUCKUS UP HERE POTTER!"
She made it up and fell down after she fainted. She had not seen Keroberos in his full form yet and the shock was too great. She was lucky enough to fall on Dudley who was useful for once in stopping her fall with his fat that is.
"I'm finished."
The boys went in the room again and Syaoran's jaw fell down. She was wearing a light night gown of silk. The different layers of tissue made sure to hide decently her features without stopping her from radiating innocence and beauty. It went down to her knees and Syaoran could see angels floating around her with horns and trumpets on a background of clouds and a radiant rising sun. All in all, he was in the front of a goddess of beauty, innocence and magic. Harry was unaffected but his mind did imagine someone else in that gown.
"Lets get to bed shall we?"
Now Syaoran was literally in heaven. Her voice was music to his ears and he dropped to the floor and removed his shirt to have a makeshift pillow. Harry went to his bed and tried to sleep. Sakura took the only sleeping bag that was opened for two.
"Don't you want to share the sleeping bag Syaoran?"
"NO.no.I mean it wouldn't be proper and.good night."
Harry snickered in his bed and Sakura, stubborn as ever, took the bag and threw half of it on him before she slipped in beside him.
"A.ga.ge.wa.what..are.you.doing.?"
"Sleeping what else? Good night. Aishiteru Xiao Lang Li, Wo ai ni da Airen."
He seemed to calm down at those words and Harry almost laughed at his expression and settled for another sleepless night. It had been that way since the end of his fourth year and the beginning of his fifth would be plagued by them if he slept anyway.
Sleep deprivation does not work that way however and it does make one sleep when he doesn't want to. As such, Harry fell in a deep sleep full of dreams.
start dream sequence
'What the.this isn't the usual Voldemort setting, it's more like the real dream setting.'
It was a different setting then the usual. It looked more like the idea of a medieval setting.
"Lord Godrick! The forces of the snake are about to strike."
The voice was in ancient Gaelic. He didn't know how he knew but he did. He turned around and faced a woman who looked like.Hermione. Her hair was black instead of ginger brown and she was older but she was the dead ringer for his friend. It was his voice that answered.
"Milady Rowena, you are in the right. Our armies are about to clash in battle but we have powerful alies in the Yi clan and Clouy. They are to defend the castle but that should be enough to help us since we won't have to concentrate on defence."
"Do you truly believe it wise to leave the fort to strangers. Clouy followed his studies here but the clan are.barbarians to us."
"As we are to them. We must never forget that this is all relative. Like pure bloods and those born of muggles we think of one another as barbarians but neither truly is."
"You are right but I can't help but feel unease at this developpement."
Harry was confused, he was in the mind, or at least in the perception, of Godric Griffondor. That at least was clear. It was the last days of the war that also was clear but he had never learned of these alies the Yi and Clouy in his magical history studies. True, he slept through the class but that didn't mean he didn't learn anything.
"It is disturbing, that much is true but they follow the orders of their elders and their seers are the strongest known. One says the war, even when it will end, will just continue in the far future. It may be our wish to stop it now forever but it is not to be so my love."
"Not here MiLord, we are in the presence of those who may ear."
"It is of no concern. Let them ear MiLady. I do not care what they think. It may very well be our last battle."
"We need to make haste then to celebrate after the last hex is thrown."
"Then let us hurry and come back."
The dream then faded to the darkness of sleep but it stayed vivid and replayed itself many times in his head. But it was a pleasant one this time.
In the meantime, Syaoran couldn't sleep. He was lying awake next to the one girl who made him turn red as a tomato at her mere thought. A word from her and he would face the gods themselves. That in itself was a nice thing. The fact that she was hugging him from behind added to his unability to sleep. It was heaven. He dared not move an inch from fear of doing something wrong.
"Just relax, I won't hurt you as long as you don't hurt me. Go to sleep or I'll just have to use the sleep."
He swallowed and obeyed. He turned so that he was laying on his back and Sakura decided to use his arm as a pillow. His hand ended up on her shoulder while hers rested on his torso. For some reason it relaxed him completely.
"You told me this earlier but I never answered Sakura-chan ai shiteru."
She moved closer to her loved one and looked at his face. He did the same and, ever so slowly, they drew nearer and nearer until their lips met in a sweet innocent kiss. It was replaced a second later by a sweeter but passionate kiss. Their hands roamed a little but stayed in decent places. Syaoran broke the kiss though.
"We really should wait a little for this Sakura-chan. I don't know if I could control myself if we were to.well, let's take this one step at a time."
She pouted a little but realised he was right.
"Ok Xiao Lang-kun but I want a good morning kiss tomorrow morning understood."
"Yes dear. Let's sleep now."
Thus they drifted into sleep. They woke up to the shriek of aunt Petunia the next morning, She wanted them up and about it seems.
"POTTER ! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT."
"WILL YOU PEOPLE SHUT UP, I WANT TO SLEEP HERE! I SPENT THE NIGHT GUARDING A DOOR AND WHAT DO I GET IN RETURN? A EARLY WAKE UP CALL SO PUT A SOCK IN IT YOU HAG!"
Kero was not a morning guardian. His guarding of the room had really been him sleeping all the time but what did it matter. His snoring had kept them awake.
Syaoran was already looking at the ceiling. He was used to early mornings but Sakura was still sleeping on his arm preventing him from moving and thus getting himself some breakfast. The shout woke Harry up though. He was so used to the treatment that he got hastily dressed without taking note of his surroundings. Sakura stirred and sat up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Hoe? What time is it Syaoran-kun?"
Said teen was moving his shoulder to get the feeling back in.
"8:30, we slept a lot but we really should join Harry before they decide to tear him apart."
"Hai, just wait for me down the stairs."
He left the room right after Harry who still looked asleep.
"Rude awakening right?"
"Same as usual, I'm lucky they are scared of my go.good friends or they'd treat me worst."
"Lucky indeed but Kero barely qualifies as human even if he is sentient. You know, they look like they slept in the cupboard last night don't they?"
"Nah, I know how it feels and they look better then that, I mean with Dudley in there they fill it up so I guess they slept on the floor instead of their room."
"Think we should get them to bed?"
"Nah.they don't really deserve it."
Sakura chose that moment to come down the stairs wearing a chinese outfit and her hair in a pair of ponytails. (for the clothes, anything not too fancy will do.)
"Ohayo de gozaimashita minna ! Daijobu desu."
"She.she's casting a spell !"
"What? She just said hello in Japanese you nincompoops! She's just very literate."
"Why thank you Xiao-kun! You still own me my kiss though!"
He turned as red as a beet under the scrutiny of the assembled people.
"Kawaï."
"I already have my sisters for that Sakura-chan."
"Don't make me wait now!"
"Yeah, I wouldn't want to miss the show!"
That came from Dudley who had turned into a regular pervert. Harry rolled his eyes not really caring as he ate his toasts while his 'family' was busy. He then saw Sakura turn red not from embarrassment but from anger right after the boy said that.
"DUDLEY NO HENTAI! BAKAYARO!"
"Run for your life pork chops because she is stronger then me.and stronger still when one causes her ire."
For Syaoran to give that advice to the boy was something serious but he started laughing which bode badly for his health. Sakura lifted her hand towards him and said one word.
"Flat !"
"That's how you cast a spell of medium power."
"Firey!"
"That's an elemental spell of great power. He's lucky she didn't use her big ones."
"Never think dirty like that again! You're lucky my brother wasn't here or I would have had to save you from death or worst."
"That is a good idea Sakura-chan! I'll call him if you want!"
"This shows how much Syaoran doesn't like the Dursleys. The mere mention of Touya makes his blood boil and he proposes to have him know. You must be in deep gaki. Shall we double team him to compensate?"
"Why not Keroberos. Scaring the poor boy to the brink of death is my duty as Sakura's boyfriend."
"I'll deal with that later. For now.transforms we have to have a little private chat with young mister Dudley here."
"Agreed but I believe Sakura has done all the job for us."
Effectively, a deep fried, wet, shocked, blown by the wind and shaken Dudley was laying unconscious at the base of the wall in a puddle of liquid.
"Syaoran-kun. My kiss."
"Coming!!!"
He kissed her chastely as to not give a show and she calmed down a bit. Harry's owl decided it was time to deliver it's mail and posed herself on his arm.
"Hello girl, what do you have for me? Thank you, I'll give you a treat in ten minutes. Go wait in my room please.YES! Hermione's coming to get us for Diagon alley in two hours guys! Come on, lets get ready!"
It took them an hour to get ready to leave and another for Sakura to get Kero out of the fridge. They were all set to leave when she presented herself in front of the door.
End chapter 2
I hope my situation with Sakura hasn't gone too far but she is 14 in the story and based on other anime, the not hentai ones anyway, they almost kill perverts. C&C welcomed and flames are unable to hurt me behind my fireproof shield of protection +10.
AN Woah, man, I never expected to get over 10 reviews. Thank you all.

Meanwhile, with Kero, still attached to a finger.
"How many times do I have to tell you that biting Syaoran won't solve anything ?"
"I munnow, Iw fells gwood twough !"
"Darn plush toy."
The aforementioned boy said between his teeth which resulted in a harder bite. That was one thing, and one too many Vernon and Syaoran had in common. Kero didn't like them. Not that Syaoran liked the man either.
"And don't you start !"
Both Kero and Syaoran also had the distinct reflex to obey each and every of Sakura's commands.
"Errr, Sakura, was that a car that just left? Wouldn't that be the Grangers? "
"HOEEEEE"
Harry came back in, he had a slightly dazed but it soon changed to realisation and a little guilt.
"I knew they were forgetting something. I'm really sorry you'll have to stay here tonight Sakura."
"I could fly over to the Grangers but.where exactly do they live?"
"I don't know, I'll owl them right away."
He left them to their own devices for his room. They followed in a silent agreement. Kero transformed to his true form and sat in front of the door.
"I'll stand guard here Sakura. I'd rather be inside but I'm more worried about these people than the gaki."
"Thanks, I'll pay you back."
Syaoran had the same idea but Kero was scarier then him to these people.
"You own me your next desert gaki."
They arrived in Harry's room to find him sending his white owl on her mission. They sat on the floor next to one another. Harry joined them after a second.
"So, how will we sleep? Sakura could take the bed while Syaoran takes the floor. I'll just sleep in the cupboard."
"There's no need for that Harry-san. You can keep your bed."
"Sakura's right, I don't trust the Dursley's anyway. We need to stick together here."
"I'll just sleep with Syaoran!" (How sweet and innocent)
The full body blush on the part of both males who were a little less innocent then the sole female in the room puzzled her to no ends.
"I'll just call Chou Li. He'll bring another sleeping bag and any other things she may need. Chou Li!"
pop
"You have called master Syaoran."
"Hoe ????"
"This is Chou Li, house elf of the Li family. Chou Li, If you would please take what the Card Mistress may need for tomorrow and anything that she may ask for. I'll trust you for the styles of dresses. Just don't take the whole house this time. This is just for one or two days."
"Yes Master. If Mistress would tell me all she needs. Chou Li will be sure to take it all."
She made a quick list comprising from normal wear to underwear. It was embarrassing when he asked for the exact measures but she still complied.
"Is that all Mistress?"
"Yes, just stop with the mistress thing, just call me by my name."
The house elf gasped and started to weep.
"P-p-p-p-please don't ask that of Chou-Li or I'd have to punish me."
"Calm down, she won't ask. Go now and take the package at the same time please."
At the order of his master the house elf brightened a little in relief and was gone in a puff of smoke.
"Why would he punish himself for that?" Harry asked "It's a stupid reason."
"We were not his first family. His previous masters threw him away and we took him in like countless others but he still has some reflexes like calling people master and punishing himself."
"How horrible!"
"I agree Sakura but."
pop
"I have brought everything mistress. The night clothes, the toothbrush, the hair brush, the B cup bra, the panties and your robe for tomorrow. I also have your package master. Your mother has need of my services for the next 12 hours master. I must take my leave."
pop
Harry had turned away from the sight but Syaoran was too stunned from seeing the pile of clothing with the undergarments neatly folded on top. He was red, very red. Sakura realised the position of her clothings and hid them behind her. It was too late as the imagination of the Chinese teen was set loose. The thoughts shall not be disclosed here but you can do so as well if you are perverted enough HENTAI!!!!! He shook out of it when she made a statement.
"I'll get changed now so if you don't mind getting out."
Harry moved wordlessly but Syaoran was stuck on babbling.
"Ok.I'll just.be.outside while you.err.get dressed."
"Yes now out before I call my Niisan."
He almost ran out as he finally regained all his faculties.
"He's so silly sometimes."
We return to the boys in the corridor leaving Sakura to change alone.
"So, if I am right. Sakura would be your girlfriend."
Kero growled under his breath while Syaoran blushed but did not answer.
"I hope you didn't do anything gaki or I'll be sure to tell her brother."
"NOTHING HAPPENED OVERSIZED PLUSH TOY"
Petunia was the one to go up the stairs this time screaming like a banshee. The only difference being Banshees are prettier.
"WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THE RUCKUS UP HERE POTTER!"
She made it up and fell down after she fainted. She had not seen Keroberos in his full form yet and the shock was too great. She was lucky enough to fall on Dudley who was useful for once in stopping her fall with his fat that is.
"I'm finished."
The boys went in the room again and Syaoran's jaw fell down. She was wearing a light night gown of silk. The different layers of tissue made sure to hide decently her features without stopping her from radiating innocence and beauty. It went down to her knees and Syaoran could see angels floating around her with horns and trumpets on a background of clouds and a radiant rising sun. All in all, he was in the front of a goddess of beauty, innocence and magic. Harry was unaffected but his mind did imagine someone else in that gown.
"Lets get to bed shall we?"
Now Syaoran was literally in heaven. Her voice was music to his ears and he dropped to the floor and removed his shirt to have a makeshift pillow. Harry went to his bed and tried to sleep. Sakura took the only sleeping bag that was opened for two.
"Don't you want to share the sleeping bag Syaoran?"
"NO.no.I mean it wouldn't be proper and.good night."
Harry snickered in his bed and Sakura, stubborn as ever, took the bag and threw half of it on him before she slipped in beside him.
"A.ga.ge.wa.what..are.you.doing.?"
"Sleeping what else? Good night. Aishiteru Xiao Lang Li, Wo ai ni da Airen."
He seemed to calm down at those words and Harry almost laughed at his expression and settled for another sleepless night. It had been that way since the end of his fourth year and the beginning of his fifth would be plagued by them if he slept anyway.
Sleep deprivation does not work that way however and it does make one sleep when he doesn't want to. As such, Harry fell in a deep sleep full of dreams.
start dream sequence
'What the.this isn't the usual Voldemort setting, it's more like the real dream setting.'
It was a different setting then the usual. It looked more like the idea of a medieval setting.
"Lord Godrick! The forces of the snake are about to strike."
The voice was in ancient Gaelic. He didn't know how he knew but he did. He turned around and faced a woman who looked like.Hermione. Her hair was black instead of ginger brown and she was older but she was the dead ringer for his friend. It was his voice that answered.
"Milady Rowena, you are in the right. Our armies are about to clash in battle but we have powerful alies in the Yi clan and Clouy. They are to defend the castle but that should be enough to help us since we won't have to concentrate on defence."
"Do you truly believe it wise to leave the fort to strangers. Clouy followed his studies here but the clan are.barbarians to us."
"As we are to them. We must never forget that this is all relative. Like pure bloods and those born of muggles we think of one another as barbarians but neither truly is."
"You are right but I can't help but feel unease at this developpement."
Harry was confused, he was in the mind, or at least in the perception, of Godric Griffondor. That at least was clear. It was the last days of the war that also was clear but he had never learned of these alies the Yi and Clouy in his magical history studies. True, he slept through the class but that didn't mean he didn't learn anything.
"It is disturbing, that much is true but they follow the orders of their elders and their seers are the strongest known. One says the war, even when it will end, will just continue in the far future. It may be our wish to stop it now forever but it is not to be so my love."
"Not here MiLord, we are in the presence of those who may ear."
"It is of no concern. Let them ear MiLady. I do not care what they think. It may very well be our last battle."
"We need to make haste then to celebrate after the last hex is thrown."
"Then let us hurry and come back."
The dream then faded to the darkness of sleep but it stayed vivid and replayed itself many times in his head. But it was a pleasant one this time.
In the meantime, Syaoran couldn't sleep. He was lying awake next to the one girl who made him turn red as a tomato at her mere thought. A word from her and he would face the gods themselves. That in itself was a nice thing. The fact that she was hugging him from behind added to his unability to sleep. It was heaven. He dared not move an inch from fear of doing something wrong.
"Just relax, I won't hurt you as long as you don't hurt me. Go to sleep or I'll just have to use the sleep."
He swallowed and obeyed. He turned so that he was laying on his back and Sakura decided to use his arm as a pillow. His hand ended up on her shoulder while hers rested on his torso. For some reason it relaxed him completely.
"You told me this earlier but I never answered Sakura-chan ai shiteru."
She moved closer to her loved one and looked at his face. He did the same and, ever so slowly, they drew nearer and nearer until their lips met in a sweet innocent kiss. It was replaced a second later by a sweeter but passionate kiss. Their hands roamed a little but stayed in decent places. Syaoran broke the kiss though.
"We really should wait a little for this Sakura-chan. I don't know if I could control myself if we were to.well, let's take this one step at a time."
She pouted a little but realised he was right.
"Ok Xiao Lang-kun but I want a good morning kiss tomorrow morning understood."
"Yes dear. Let's sleep now."
Thus they drifted into sleep. They woke up to the shriek of aunt Petunia the next morning, She wanted them up and about it seems.
"POTTER ! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT."
"WILL YOU PEOPLE SHUT UP, I WANT TO SLEEP HERE! I SPENT THE NIGHT GUARDING A DOOR AND WHAT DO I GET IN RETURN? A EARLY WAKE UP CALL SO PUT A SOCK IN IT YOU HAG!"
Kero was not a morning guardian. His guarding of the room had really been him sleeping all the time but what did it matter. His snoring had kept them awake.
Syaoran was already looking at the ceiling. He was used to early mornings but Sakura was still sleeping on his arm preventing him from moving and thus getting himself some breakfast. The shout woke Harry up though. He was so used to the treatment that he got hastily dressed without taking note of his surroundings. Sakura stirred and sat up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Hoe? What time is it Syaoran-kun?"
Said teen was moving his shoulder to get the feeling back in.
"8:30, we slept a lot but we really should join Harry before they decide to tear him apart."
"Hai, just wait for me down the stairs."
He left the room right after Harry who still looked asleep.
"Rude awakening right?"
"Same as usual, I'm lucky they are scared of my go.good friends or they'd treat me worst."
"Lucky indeed but Kero barely qualifies as human even if he is sentient. You know, they look like they slept in the cupboard last night don't they?"
"Nah, I know how it feels and they look better then that, I mean with Dudley in there they fill it up so I guess they slept on the floor instead of their room."
"Think we should get them to bed?"
"Nah.they don't really deserve it."
Sakura chose that moment to come down the stairs wearing a chinese outfit and her hair in a pair of ponytails. (for the clothes, anything not too fancy will do.)
"Ohayo de gozaimashita minna ! Daijobu desu."
"She.she's casting a spell !"
"What? She just said hello in Japanese you nincompoops! She's just very literate."
"Why thank you Xiao-kun! You still own me my kiss though!"
He turned as red as a beet under the scrutiny of the assembled people.
"Kawaï."
"I already have my sisters for that Sakura-chan."
"Don't make me wait now!"
"Yeah, I wouldn't want to miss the show!"
That came from Dudley who had turned into a regular pervert. Harry rolled his eyes not really caring as he ate his toasts while his 'family' was busy. He then saw Sakura turn red not from embarrassment but from anger right after the boy said that.
"DUDLEY NO HENTAI! BAKAYARO!"
"Run for your life pork chops because she is stronger then me.and stronger still when one causes her ire."
For Syaoran to give that advice to the boy was something serious but he started laughing which bode badly for his health. Sakura lifted her hand towards him and said one word.
"Flat !"
"That's how you cast a spell of medium power."
"Firey!"
"That's an elemental spell of great power. He's lucky she didn't use her big ones."
"Never think dirty like that again! You're lucky my brother wasn't here or I would have had to save you from death or worst."
"That is a good idea Sakura-chan! I'll call him if you want!"
"This shows how much Syaoran doesn't like the Dursleys. The mere mention of Touya makes his blood boil and he proposes to have him know. You must be in deep gaki. Shall we double team him to compensate?"
"Why not Keroberos. Scaring the poor boy to the brink of death is my duty as Sakura's boyfriend."
"I'll deal with that later. For now.transforms we have to have a little private chat with young mister Dudley here."
"Agreed but I believe Sakura has done all the job for us."
Effectively, a deep fried, wet, shocked, blown by the wind and shaken Dudley was laying unconscious at the base of the wall in a puddle of liquid.
"Syaoran-kun. My kiss."
"Coming!!!"
He kissed her chastely as to not give a show and she calmed down a bit. Harry's owl decided it was time to deliver it's mail and posed herself on his arm.
"Hello girl, what do you have for me? Thank you, I'll give you a treat in ten minutes. Go wait in my room please.YES! Hermione's coming to get us for Diagon alley in two hours guys! Come on, lets get ready!"
It took them an hour to get ready to leave and another for Sakura to get Kero out of the fridge. They were all set to leave when she presented herself in front of the door.
End chapter 2
I hope my situation with Sakura hasn't gone too far but she is 14 in the story and based on other anime, the not hentai ones anyway, they almost kill perverts. C&C welcomed and flames are unable to hurt me behind my fireproof shield of protection +10.
