Chapter 1

~~ At the local park, Hong Kong. ~~

A tall boy teen, around the age of 16 was walking towards a clearing, his intention was clear; he wanted to get to the clearing as quiet as possible. He was wearing a Green Chinese costume and was holding a long sword.

“ Did you bring everything? Wha ?! No pudding! How could you?!” wailed a voice. “ My suitcases were packed! There was only enough room the costume Madison gave me. Now let me shrink them!” There was a flash of light through the gaps of the trees.

*Madison? From Japan?* wondered the boy. *The female voice is so familiar, could it be…?* his eyes widened *…Sakura?…*

Sakura walked the distance of the clearing. (I finally can stop typing Cherry Blossom, it takes so long.^^) There was a rustle nearby in the bushes. Sakura whirled around and faced the direction of the noise. “ Do you sense that?” asked Kero. “ Yeah, the level of magic is heading our way.” Said Sakura.

A foot emerged from the bushes, followed closely by the body. The eyes were in shadows, but the costume was unmistakable. Sakura’s eyes widened. “S Syoaron? Is that you?”

“Answer her kid, and save us some trouble.”

* That same idiotic stuffed animal, why is HE here? * He felt a rush of warmth. * At least Sakura’s here, if she is Sakura that is. * The boy answered, but barely. “ S- Sakura? Kero? What are you two doing here?” asked Syoaron.

“Three, Yue is in my pocket.” Answered Sakura. Then she brightened. “To answer your question… I can’t tell you at the moment, sorry.” Syoaron was disappointed, but asked some more questions. “Do you have a place to stay? If not, you can stay at my place.” he offered.

“Thanks!” “No thanks…” “Kero!” “ Fine, fine… geez…”

“Well, let’s go! Mother wouldn’t mind extra company.” * I sense something different about Sakura, I know her power level’s gone up, but there’s something else… * He started to lead the way.

~~ Some time later, in front of Syoaron’s house. ~~

“I’m home! And I’ve got some guests.” Called Syoaron. He walked into the living room, and they were immediately pounced on by his sisters. “ Oh, aren’t they so kawaii!” “Adorable!” “what a cute pair!” “ I like the stuffed animal.”

“ All sisters, please don’t harass the guests. May I see them?” called a voice. Everyone cleared, and Syoaron’s mother stood in front of them. She walked up to Sakura, but the moment she did, she fainted. She fell to the floor with a thud.

“Mother!” wailed the sisters. “It’s here… here already… Sakura look for… your partner…” mumbled Syoaron’s mother. “Be ready…"
