Sakura : The New Chapter
I have been called a sorceress and an angel. A warrior and the bringer of peace. A changeling and a mystical being. A teacher and a protector of man. I am all these things and more. My name is of no importance, you would not have heard of me anyway. I travel in forms that change at my will and few know my true form or name. The only thing you need to know is a story from the past and how it will effect the future. There once was a powerful sorcerer named Clow who created a book which held very special cards. These cards contained powers beyond most humans understanding and were very dangerous. Centuries after he died the book and cards came into the possession of a young girl who through hardship and turmoil claimed the cards and their powers as her own. Along with the book and its cards came the sorcerer's two loyal servants called Keroberos and Yue who he had created and who were in charge of watching over the new mistress of the cards. They were the guardians of the Sakura Cards. When it came time for her to create her own guardians the girl, Sakura, hesitated to create them because she was happy with her present guardians and had no wish to replace them with her own. So instead she created a guardian for her true love, Li Syaoran, to watch over him and the many who had a place in her heart. And so the Eternal Love Card was created and for the first time a card didn't depend upon magic to work. Instead, it depended on love so that as long as there was love in the line of Li the card would continue to protect those of that line. But through time greed took over the world and love was forgotten in the race for money and power and so slowly but surely the card's light began to fade. At the death of Amethyst, a Li, the card was forced to leave earth until love was to finally return as she had been one of the few Li's left who'd known love in her heart. Finally a Li with both heart and essential goodness arose and with the love he felt for others and the love they felt for him the card was reborn and could return once again. The Li who'd brought her back had a son and a daughter and both shared their father's character and strength. The boy was destined to become great and the girl was destined to open the book of Sakura and rid the world and colonies of those who would harm it. So now I will watch and see what my future hold for I am The Eternal Love Card.
So It begins.
It was very dark out and she could barely make out her surroundings. She was here for a very important mission, but what? She struggled to look around but her eyes were glued to the top of a structure because something was up there, something that called to her and froze her in her place. And whatever it was it scared her as nothing ever had. She was not easily scared so what was it and why did she fear it so? She was not alone in her fear though. There were others behind her, silent but there. She couldn't turn around to face them but she knew they were there regardless. They were there to lend her aid, she couldn't say how she knew it but she did. There was also something standing beside her. She couldn't see it either but she knew that it was powerful and that though it meant her no harm it was by no means defenseless. Her arms reached up to her throat of their own accord to grasp something hanging from around her neck. What was it? And where were they and why?
Sakura Peace Yuy bit back a groan as she entered her home at five o'clock. She was feeling very much like she'd been hit by a truck and was followed by Solo Maxwell who was equally damaged and had no intention of giving that little detail away. They'd just got back from an hour-long boxing session and neither was happy with the results of the match. "I can't believe your dad. I had you right where I wanted you." Sakura said dropping her school bag on the kitchen table before flopping down onto her chair.
"Ha. I had you beat and you know it, Yuy. The fact that my dad kicked us out doesn't mean anything except that he prevented me from finishing the job." Solo shot back, unwilling to admit that the fight could have gone either way. They'd known each other since birth and had been fighting and competing since they could walk straight.
"Whatever you say, beach bum." Sakura resorted taking a big bite out of an apple she'd snatch from the fruit basket in the center of the table.
"Hey just because I'm in no hurry to go to college doesn't make me a beach bum." Solo said loudly getting rather annoyed with that particular nickname.
"Yea, Yea." Sakura said shaking her head which brought the package beside Solo into view. "Hey, what's that?" Sakura said motioning her apple in its direction as she attempted to relax her shoulder blades. Solo following her gaze turned and picked up the package off the counter behind him.
"It's for you." Solo informed her after reading the top cover as slowly as possible just to annoy her.
"Who's it from? Madison?" Sakura asked in surprise, rising from the chair while biting back a groan as her muscles protested.
"I don't know. It doesn't say. Secret admirer?" Solo teased, turning the package around in his hands curiously.
"Well then hand it over, Maxwell." Sakura said holding out her hand. Grinning Solo considered playing a game of keep away but the loud screams of protest coming from his bruised body told him now was not the time. His body having decided Solo threw the package to Sakura who caught it deftly in her hands.
"It's heavy." Sakura muttered, turning it and weighing it in her hands. It wasn't her birthday and she wasn't expecting anything, what could it be? Curiosity thoroughly piqued Sakura held it up to eye level and grinned.
"So what is it?" Solo wanted to know, leaning over.
"None of your business, Einstein." Sakura shot back hotly. Maybe she was in no condition to demand a boxing rematch but at least she'd have the satisfaction of denying Solo's request. Being a Maxwell meant that he was an overly curious person and he hated above all else not to having his curiosity appealed.
"Awwww come on, brat. Open it up." Solo said, giving her his best puppy dog face.
"Nice try, pretty boy but no luck. I'm going upstairs." Sakura said grabbing her bag before Solo could protest and went bounding up the stairs as fast as her bruised muscles would allow.
Sakura finally reached her room and gratefully threw her heavy pack onto the floor after collapsing onto her bed. Breathing in the familiar scents of home Sakura lay there for a few moments in thought before looking back at the package she'd set down on her bed before falling on it. Slowly she reached out and undid the flaps, pulling the paper off carefully. Inside she found a note and a square shaped item still heavily wrapped in protective layers. Curious, Sakura thought, lifting the letter out and propping herself against her wall began to read.
Dear Sakura,
You don't know me but I know you. The gift I give you now is for you and you alone. It is the key to your destiny and the future that awaits you. You should have begun the journey seven years ago but I know you will do your bloodlines proud regardless. Good luck.
"That's it?" Sakura said in disbelief after rereading the note. No name, no reason, and what the hell was that about her destiny and being seven years late for some journey. Slightly wary know Sakura once again picked up the package and began to remove the wrapping. "If this is one of your games, Maxwell I'm going to kill you and it won't be a quick and painless one either." Sakura continued to mutter to herself as she tore the wrapping of with her switchblade she always kept in her pocket for such an occasion. This was definitely something the moron would do. Tearing the last piece off Sakura stared down at her mysterious gift. "It's a book." Sakura said flatly, looking at her gift. And a kiddie book to top it all off. The cover depicted some sort of lion with the sun around it and the words Sakura Cards, her name being on the front not really matter to her. Shaking her head Sakura grabbed the book and threw it onto her bean bag chair in the corner. "Well that was a waste of energy and curiosity." Sakura muttered to herself as she bunched up the wrappings into a ball. She was almost eighteen for God sakes. Who in their right mind sends someone that old a book of fairy tales? Heck, she had never been one for fairy tales to begin with. Shaking her head at whoever had given her such a stupid gift she threw the wrappings into waste basket and then walked over to her dresser drawer where she kept her First Aid Kit. She really needed some liniment and how.
Later that evening Sakura threw her pencil down in frustration, cursing under her breath. What is going on, she wondered as she rubbed her hands over her eyes. She'd been trying to finish her math homework all night but she just couldn't concentrate. Turning her head Sakura stared at her bean bag chair. For some reason she kept getting the urge to open the stupid book which was silly. Why on earth would she want to open some stupid kid's book? Turning back to the question she'd been working on She struggled to focus. Damn, it wasn't working. Throwing her hands up in defeat Sakura levered herself out of her chair and walked over to the bean bag. Stooping down she picked up the book and stared at it wondering what was it about it that fascinated her so. Having realized with a sinking feeling that she wasn't going to get any work done if she didn't open it Sakura reached for the lock of the book. As if on cue the book began to glow with an almost eerie white light. Defense reflexes kicking in Sakura threw the book away from her and ran to her drawer where she kept her brother's old pellet gun. Normally it was used to scare the hell out of Solo when he pissed her off, but it would work for this situation too. Gun pointed forward Sakura quietly watched the book's latch fall off, sending the book sprawling on the floor. "What the hell." Sakura said edging closer. Instead of pages there were some kind of cards falling out of it. Setting the gun down Sakura slowly approached the book and its contents. Cautiously but curiously, Sakura reached out and gathered a bunch of the cards in her hands. Backing away from the book she flipped the cards face forward. "Interesting names for cards." Sakura said reading the names printed at the bottom of the cards. "Firery, Fly, and Windy."
No sooner had she said the last name then a violent wind erupted around her sending the remaining cards flying through the air and then through her roof. Then, below her, a giant circle appeared with strange symbols on it. Clutching the cards Sakura had picked up in the first place she gave her best shot at grabbing at the other cards. By the time all the cards had exited stage roof Sakura had captured three more cards and a whale of a headache. Breathing hard Sakura stared around her and then at the cards. "If Maxwell's responsible for this he's a lot smarter then I ever gave him credit for." She said leaning against her desk. "Oh no, not again." Sakura groaned, seeing the book begin to glow again. From the book came one of the weirdest looking stuffed animals she'd ever seen in her life. It looked like a half lion cub half mouse with wings. Once again picking up her gun Sakura trained it on the creature.
"Woooa what happened. Hey what the heck! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" Kero looked at the girl holding the gun and back to the gun, all signs of sleepiness rapidly leaving.
"What are you and who sent you." The girl demanded to know. Carefully walking out of the book Kero kept his paws we'll up in the air.
"My name is Keroberos and I'm the guardian beast of that book. As to how I got here I have no idea. Wait a minute. Where are my cards? Oh man not again! A little uninterrupted rest, that was all I wanted. Why'd you have to open the book?" Kero yelled, leaping into the air, gun forgotten.
"Hey! Unless you want to end up dead and stuffed you'll back up and watch what you say. Now listen up, guardian. I got that stupid book in the mail and a couple of minutes ago it started glowing and then the cards in it started to glow and they went flying through my roof. So I suggest you do whatever it is you do to get them back so I can send you and your cards to Timbuktu." Sakura growled glaring harder at him.
"You mean you've lost all the cards?" Kero yelled angrily, more at himself then at her. He was getting too old for this.
"No I managed to stop six of them but the rest got away and seeing as you're their guardian wouldn't it be your job to keep them in the stupid book!"
"Hey! Look we need to get those cards back and fast."
"What? What do you mean we? They're your stupid cards so you go get them."
"Look, you opened the book so you're responsible for their escape too you know. Therefore you're obligated to help me reseal the cards."
Sakura stared at the creature then chuckled. "I don't know what you are exactly but you have two minutes to get yourself, and your book, out of my room, before I get mad." Kero stared back at the girl questioningly.
If he was in his real form she wouldn't be so confident, he muttered to himself as he glanced at the cards in her hands. "What cards did you manage to hold on to?" He said finally, hoping that she'd grabbed good ones. Seeing no harm in it she bent over to reveal the cards thinking this was really, really strange. Looking he saw she'd amazingly enough grabbed two of the four elements, a big plus along with Fly, Shield, Little and Change. Kero stared at the cards then sighed. "We'll at least you chose good cards to hang on to, kid." Staring up at her he tried his most charming smile. "You did a lot better then my last would be master any way. He let all the cards get away. Course you're smarter then he was too. And he wasn't meant to have the book in the first place."
Sakura stared at the creature. "What are card captors?" She asked, curiosity getting the better of her. Plus she was talking to the weirdest looking thing she'd ever seen to top it all off.
"They're the people chosen to capture and control the cards. And you're the newest addition." Kero answered, preparing to flee if she blew up over it.
"Me? You want me to be your card captor and go around catching these cards for you?" Sakura said with surprised look. "No wonder your captors are usually kids; they're still young enough to believe all this garbage. And as for the idea of me becoming a card captor, I'm afraid I'll have to humbly decline. I have enough problems in my life without your cards adding to it."
Kero felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and peered more closely at the girl. She was very powerful and he didn't need any more trouble but who was she? She'd shown no interest in the cards magic and yet someone as powerful as her must be able to sense its power and she would surpass Sakura and Eriol if her present power levels were anything to go on. "Look, will you at least give me time to explain everything before you tur.."
"Hey, kids, need to chat with you a bit."
"Hold on a minute." Sakura interrupted, running over to the intercom beside her bed. "Yes." Sakura said pressing the button in.
"Hey sweetie, sorry to interrupt your studying or whatever but we need you and Solo to come down here for a minute and..what the Hell..Heer."
"Uncle Duo? Uncle Duo, what's going on?"
"Dad? Hey, Dad, are you okay?" Solo's voice came from his intercom, melding with Sakura's words as they both tried to call Duo back.
When no answer came Sakura jumped off her bed and raced to her banister. "Stay here. I'll be right back." Not even bothering to see whether or not he understood Sakura flew down her banister and was out her door before Kero could even answer.
"Sakura!" Sakura turned to see Solo running towards her, one of their old baseball bats in hand.
"Good idea." Sakura said quietly. Nodding an understanding they slowly approached the stair rails and leaning over Sakura gave a small cry of panic. There, lying in front of the stairs by the other intercom, was her Uncle Duo and he wasn't moving.
"Dad." Sakura turned and saw her pain mirrored on Solo's face. Despite their personal difference they were family and one of them was hurt. "I'll go first to draw whoever did this out. You cover me." Sakura said quietly, finally tearing her eyes off her uncle.
"No. I'll go down and you cover me." Solo said staring back at her.
"No. Whoever is down there will run from you. To him I'm just some weak woman and an easy target. Besides, you're a lot better at sneaking up on people then I am." Solo stared at her in surprise. Rarely did she ever compliment him and even rarer did she suggest that he was better at something then her. And she was right.
"Okay but be careful." Sakura smiled at Solo then slowly walked down the stairs. Hearing nothing nearby she motioned Solo to come down and then got down on one knee to check her uncle's pulse. Leaning over Sakura pressed her fingers to Duo's neck where she was rewarded to feel the steady beating of his heart. All of a sudden Sakura felt a strange chill run up her spine. Something was coming, but what? Gazing around Sakura had only time to catch a glimpse before a bright light zipped by her head and flew straight at Solo who'd come down the stairs to cover her.
"Solo look out!"
"What?"
Sakura stared in horror as Solo began to wobble on the stairs. Rushing to the foot of the stairs Sakura tried to brace him up as he fell forward but holding up almost two hundred pounds of dead weight male was a little too heavy for her to handle at the moment and with a crash they fell to the ground in a heap.
Sakura was barely able to contain several four-letter words from spilling out of her mouth as she struggled to get up. No such luck. "Jesus, Solo, how much do you weigh already." Sakura said from beneath him. Glancing around she saw no sign that whatever that thing was, was around so at least she didn't have to worry about that coming zooming by. Calling all her strength Sakura lifted Solo up as much as possible and tried to slip out, bad idea. "Solo, if you can hear me your head is in a really bad place and if you don't get it off my chest before my dad comes in your as good as dead." Unfortunately for her he couldn't hear her and now she was stuck even more and in a compromising situation to top it all off. I knew I should've let Solo go first, at least he'd have been able to catch me. That is if he'd have bothered too." Letting the swear words lose now Sakura wiggled around but to no avail, she was stuck and her swearing wasn't getting her anywhere. Finally giving up Sakura started yelling, hoping that whoever answered would allow her to explain her current position before they put Solo in front of the firing squad. "Mom, Dad? Anybody?" Tapping her fingers on the floor Sakura waited but no one came or answered her call. "Hello, I'm dying a slow and painful death here and if you don't hurry up aliens from another planet are going to take over the world and enslave all man kind." Sakura waited and still nothing. "Where is everybody?"
"Sleeping." Sakura turned to see Kero flying down towards her, the voice who had spoken.
"What are you doing here? I told you to stay in my room."
"I know but I sensed a Clow Card and came down to warn you. Look's like Sleep got here first though." Kero said grinning slightly. It was nice to see her at a disadvantage for once.
"What do you mean, Sleep got here first?" Sakura demanded to know, trying to ignore the fact that Solo was beginning to snore.
"The Sleep card of course. She's the one responsible for your friend here entering la la land in mid sentence." Sakura looked over at Duo and at Solo then back to Kero.
"You mean one of those stupid cards did this?"
"Yep and if you don't hurry up and catch it there's going to be a lot more people down for the count." Sakura stared at Kero not liking the look in his eye at all.
"And how do we do that exactly?" She said suspiciously.
"We'll the only way is for you to become a card captor and swear to capture it and the other cards." Kero replied, happy that Sleep had decided to join them so soon.
"You mean to tell me that unless I become a card captor my family is all going to end up like this. For how long?"
"Oh it could be forever. You see Sleep's attracted to your magic which means she'll be hanging around here for a while which would expose you and your family constantly to her magic." Kero said with a grin.
Sakura groaned. So in other words she didn't have a choice. It was either become one of his stupid captors or she was going to end up surrounded by sleeping bodies and a lot of aching muscles from trying to catch them. "Okay I'll do it. Now could you get him off of me pleaseee." Grinning in victory Kero grabbed a hold of Solo's foot and together they managed to hold him up long enough for her to slide out. Free of his weight Sakura gave a sigh of relief then turned back to Kero. "So what do I have to do?"
Kero smiled at her. "Well first I've got to give you your wand."
"My wand? Why am I not surprised I get a wand. Do I get to wear ruby red slippers too." Sakura asked sarcastically.
"Oh hush up. Now I need to know your name to cast the spell."
"Sakura."
"WHAT! Your name's Sakura!" Kero yelled starring at her in disbelief.
"Ya, you want to make something of it?"
Kero shook his head in disbelief. "What is going on here." He mumbled to himself. Yue and Clow Read have a lot of explaining to do when he saw them next. "Okay then, Sakura, Lets do it. O Key of the Seal. There is one who wishes for a contract with thee. A girl, named Sakura. O Key, grant her power! Release!"
Sakura watched in amazement as a key appeared from the book. "Well that's new." Sakura said as she watched the circle appeared around them again and as Kero chanted the key grew until in looked more like a staff then a key which was kinda cool.
"Grab it, Sakura." Kero ordered, looking over at her. Sakura stared at the hovering key then with a deep breath reached over and clasped it in her hand. Immediately the circle disappeared and everything appeared back to normal except for the wand still clutched in her hand.
"This is my wand?" Sakura asked, bringing it up to her face. It was pink with a yellow tip and a set of wings on either side. It just had to be pink, Sakura thought sourly.
"Yup that's the wand. Know listen carefully so I can explain how to use it. Then we'll go after Sleep."
Minutes later Sakura slowly looked back and forth, getting more and more frustrated by the minute. "She's hiding, Sakura. You need to use your magic to find her." Kero informed her.
"What do you mean, Kero?" Sakura demanded to know, glaring at him. She was getting sick and tired of running all over her house looking for the damn card. She saw her house every day and there was nothing new to see, not to mention having to put up with Kero's incessant whining. If it was so easy why didn't he just do it?
"You have to sense where she is. The magic inside you will react to hers, all you have to do is concentrate." Sakura looked at him then rolled her eyes. It was worth a shot. Closing her eyes she stood in the middle of the room, absolutely still. Slowly but surely she began to sense something, nothing tangible but there. Keeping her eyes closed Sakura started forward letting her instincts take over. Kero watched and grinned, maybe there was hope for her yet. Her instincts led her into her dad's study and as the Sleep card tried to fly past her she opened her eyes and shut the door. Sakura stared at the small ball of light intently. Something told her not to underestimate her small opponent and so she slowly approached it, wand raised.
"Hello, Sleep card. I've come to put you back in your book so if you have any last words I'd say them now." Sleep's answer was to fly around the room as fast she possibly could making her impossible to catch. Getting dizzy just looking at her Sakura turned to Kero. "How do I catch her when she's going around like that. It could be hours before she gets tired."
"You need to use one of your cards, Sakura. Like I told you." Sakura raised her eyebrow but took out her cards anyway.
"So which one of you could theoretically slow this thing down for me? I need to keep her in one place long enough to seal it. I know..I think." Sakura put the rest of her cards back in her pocket and then held up her chosen card. "Do I really have to say that stupid chant?" Sakura asked looking pleadingly at Kero.
"No, in this case you just have to call its name and then give it its orders." Kero said, never taking his eyes off Sleep.
"Okay then. Shield Card, release"
Sakura watched in amazement as a the card she'd held up disappeared moments after she touched her wand to it only to reappear as something that resembled the top of her wand. "Shield Card, capture the Sleep Card into your shield and don't let it escape you." Not having really believed it would work in the first place Sakura watched in surprise as the shield card shot over to the Sleep card and managed to surround her on its third try. "Cool." Sakura said watching the Sleep card bang against the shield in an attempt to break free without any success.
"Okay, Sakura. Seal it."
Nodding at Kero Sakura raised the wand above her head. "Sleep Card, return to your power confine. Sleep Card." On cue Sleep began to look like colored wind as it swirled around before forming into another card under Sakura's wand. Seconds later Sakura was the proud mistress of her first card capture. "Well that was interesting." Sakura said dryly, holding the card carefully, just in case there was a repeat of before.
"Not bad for your first time, Sakura." Kero agreed. He had to give the kid credit, she'd done well.
"So now what?" Sakura asked, looking around.
"Now we think up a good excuse for your parents and try to figure out what to do with all the sleeping people. Oh but first you need to write your name on it so that it becomes yours."
After she'd written her name in block letters on the card Sakura turned back to the next task at hand. "Well we can't just leave Solo and Uncle Duo laying there. I'll go find the others and get them to help me. I'll say Solo fell down the stairs and landed on Uncle Duo. Stay here." Sakura pushed the wand into her pocket, once again the size of a key. She quickly walked out into the hallway calling out for someone to answer her. Figuring that they were in the basement and couldn't hear her Sakura walked over to the basement door and opened it. The lights were on downstairs, which meant at least someone was down there. "Hello? Who's ever down there come quick. Solo and Duo are in need of medical help and comfort." Sakura listened but heard no response. Puzzled Sakura walked down the stairs and came to a quick halt at the bottom. "Oh not you guys too." But there they were. All fast asleep. "Now what am I suppose to do?" Shaking her head Sakura walked back up the stairs and headed for her dad's study. "They're all asleep." Sakura said walking into the room.
"That's not surprising. Sleep generally does that." Kero said cheekily.
"Funny. Now how are we supposed to explain this? If only I could put them to bed but there's no way I could carry them. If they were smaller and lighter maybe but of course they're not." Sakura said with a dark look.
"Then why don't you make them smaller and lighter?" Kero pointed out.
"What are you talking about, Kero?"
"Remember our brief lesson on your new cards I gave you. The Little Card is exactly what you need, Sakura. It shrinks things."
"So you're saying I could use the card to shrink them so I can carry them?" Sakura asked and when Kero nodded she only grinned more. "Okay then." Sakura said grabbing the key out of her pocket. Holding it carefully between her hands she began to chant. "O Key of Clow, Power of Magic, Power of Light. Surrender the Wand, The force Ignite, Release!" Instantly the key began to grow and change until it returned to its wand state. Nodding in satisfaction Sakura drew out the Little card and demanded its release as she threw it out in front of her and touched the top of her wand to it. Instantly the card turned into a childlike creature in a jester costume looking rather sleepy herself. "Little Card, shrink all the people in this house except for me. Go."
Following the card Kero and Sakura watched as Little shrink Solo and Duo then the rest of the family. Holding a Barbie size Solo in her hand Sakura just had to laugh and grin more. "And you said I'd never be taller then you." Picking up her uncle Duo and her parents as well along the way Sakura took them all up to their rooms and tucked them into bed feeling mush like a kid playing dolls. And boy had it had been a long day for all of them. Yawning Sakura was finally able to drag herself up to her room to finish her homework and eventually got to bed to sleep.
When he was sure Sakura was fast asleep Kero quickly but quietly flew from his make shift bed to the open window by her desk. Pushing it open he twisted and squeezed out the window and looking back to make sure he'd gone unnoticed closed the window behind him. "Celestial, I call you to my aid." Kero called out into the darkness.
"It's been a long time, Keroberos." She replied, smiling as Kero nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of her voice.
"Don't you know it's not polite to sneak up on people?" Kero glared at her, which only made him look cuter.
"Well I thought that a guardian beast as wise and magically strong as you would be able to sense where I was." She teased, running a finger across his head affectionately.
Shaking his head Kero sat down on the ledge and taking a deep breath turned and looked at her. "So how's Grumpy?" Kero asked, delaying the inadvertable for an only slightly less touch subject.
"Fine, of course I haven't really seen him in two and a half thousand years. Now why did you call me?" She said sitting down beside him, having a hunch.
"Her name's Sakura." Kero said staring up at her.
"I know. Amethyst suggested it."
"Amethyst? Isn't that the name of one of the Lis that you almost killed yourself trying to save?" Kero said looking puzzled.
"Yes, it is." She replied, a sadness taking over her features.
"But, didn't she die?" Kero said, thoroughly confused.
"Yes she did." Celestial replied smiling sadly at him.
"Then how?"
"No more questions, Kero, I must go if it's only answers you seek. Your questions will be answered eventually."
Kero sighed, he knew she was going to say that. "All right then. Oh and sorry about the taking Grumpy away, I didn't mean to fall asleep."
"It's all right, Kero, it will make him even more happy to see me when it's over. If he will see me. Besides, it must feel good to be out capturing cards again." Celestial said changing the subject.
Kero grinned. "Ya. See you later, Celestial. Or I guess that wouldn't be a really good thing huh?" Kero said grinning at her.
"You never now. Good bye for now, Keroberos."
"Good night, Celestial." Kero replied watching her jump off the roof and into the darkness.
