Syaoran reached forward and pulled off the panda's head. It made a loud ripping sound as he pulled. A gasp escaped his throat when he saw what was in the suit.

Scrunched up, with barely even room to breath, sat three bodies. "Heh-heh-heh... Hi?" Koushiro Izumi, Ami Mizuno, and Chang Wufei laughed slowly, looking up at Syaoran..

"What the hell?" Syaoran screamed again, tossing the head off to the side.

The trio sat, unmoving, not knowing what to say for a long time. "It... It isn't what it looks like?" Ami suggested.

"What are all of you doing here?" Sakura questioned, moving next to Syaoran.

One by one the three squeezed their way out of the Panda outfit. A few minutes later, they were all standing in front of the swing, the panda suit hanging over Koushiro's shoulder.

"It wasn't my idea." Chang explained, crossing his arms. "Ami made me do it."

Ami smiled. "Koushiro asked me to go with him. And I thought this would be good for you. You need to get out more." Ami raised a finger as she remembered something. "And what about our deal? You said that you would do anything I said!"

"I had no clue that you were so twisted that you would make me get into an panda suit and stalk people!" He shouted back.

Ami turned to him, and glared him in the eyes. "Wasn't it worth it though? You only had to do that small task and I set you up to go on a date with Re-" her sentence was cut short when Chang placed his hand over her mouth.

"It wasn't me! It wasn't me!" Suddenly, out of the 'empty' Panda suit jumped a guy that looked an awful lot like Touya. His eyes raced back and forth, from one face to another. Then he let out a high pitched shriek, his hands flung to his cheeks, and he turned and scampered off.

Everyone looked at each other for an explanation after seeing the Touya wannabe run off.

"Anyway! If we could get back onto the subject please." Sakura said. "Why were you following us in the first place?"

The three looked at each other. Then Ami and Chang turned to Koushiro. "Umm.." Koushiro thought a moment. "Well... I... I just..."

"Yes...?" Syaoran urged him on.

Koushiro looked around, then pointed up to a tree behind Syaoran and Sakura. "Look! A flying, tree monkey, squirrel, thing!"

As Sakura and Syaoran turned to see. Koushiro grabbed Ami and Chang, turned, and ran. Ran as fast as his little legs could carry him.

When the couple finally turned back, they realized that they were once again alone. The only thing left was the panda's head.

"Well, what an odd day it has been." said Sakura. "How about we go back home? I don't think Koushiro will be coming back tonight."

Syaoran looked at Sakura. "I think you're right." then he smiled at her. "Lets get home."

Sakura nodded and latched back onto his arm. "You're so kind. Thank you for taking me out today." She said as they walked back to Syaoran's place.

Syaoran put his hand behind his head. A slight blush in his cheeks. "Na, it was nothing. Really."

"Will you be coming back to Japan with me?" Sakura asked. They were seated on a couch, Sakura cuddling up next to Syaoran.

Syaoran was a bit surprised by her sudden invite. "Well... I-I don't know." He replied.

"I think you should. You have been gone for so long. Don't you think it will be fun to see Japan again?" She asked.

"Yeah, of course it would."

Sakura smiled up at him. "It's settled then. We will be going back to Japan in two days."

With that, the conversation ended, and they fell asleep. Syaoran with his arms around Sakura, and a blanket to warm them both.

"What should I do, what should I do...?" Sakura paced around her room, asking herself the same question over and over again. "Should I take that dream seriously?"

She sat down on her bed and rested her head in her hands. Sakura had been worried all day about the dream of Syaoran and that other girl. Should she make a big deal out of it, or just pass it by?

Suddenly she got a dazed look in her eyes, and a picture appeared in front of her. "Sakura... I'll be there soon, Sakura..." A girl spoke.

Sakura gasped. "Who... who are you?"

The voice giggled softly. "It's me Sakura. Don't worry, it will only be a little while longer..."

The vision slowly started to fade, and Sakura saw her room again. She grabbed her forehead softly, and shook her head. "Something-something isn't right. What is going to happen?"

******

(Please be asleep, please be asleep, please be asleep...) Koushiro repeated to himself as he quietly opened the front door. He walked slowly through the hall towards his room. He stopped when he saw Sakura and Syaoran asleep in the living room.

"Whew." He let out an exasperated sigh and looked up at the clock. It was 12:47, and he had finally decided to come home. Koushiro continued to his room and once in, he slid to the floor and leaned back against the door.

"I thought that they were going to kill me!" He said to himself, recalling what had happened earlier that day. "I thought Syaoran was going to kill me at least."

He stood up and walked over to his dresser. "Syaoran sure has been acting strange sense that Sakura chick has been here." Koushiro shook his head, not knowing why he had just said that. "He's just trying to act tough around her I guess."

Koushiro shook the thought from his head and got into bed. After a few short moments he fell fast asleep.

Okay. I am ending the chapter here because if I don't I know that I will never end up finishing it. This chapter has been sitting in my computer for weeks. I was just a bit to lazy to put it on a disk, move it to my good computer, and get it on the net. Yes, I know I am a lazy bum! I have been told many times! I guess I should be working on the next chapter now too. Off I go! Hi ho Rudolph! .; uhh... never mind. Stupid drama play is getting to me.

Chapter seven: The evil power is getting stronger, and closer. So is Syaoran. Closer to the place he had once lived, back to where he had first fallen in love, and to the place where the unexpected, should be expected. Koushiro finds small clues, and they are all leading to one thing. What should he do? Is there anything he can do? And what about Sakura? The evil seems to be after her. Has the battle begun?!?

Next Time!

Evil powers closing in!
Koushiro's realization!
The battle's one step closer!

Well, I can't think of how to start the next chapter, so I will write a lovely little disclaimer right under this interesting paragraph that I am typing.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters and/or characteristics of the characters from 'Card Captor Sakura' they belong to CLAMP. I do not own 'Ami' from 'Sailor Moon' (yes, that is the Ami from up there ^) She is owned by Naoko Tekeuchi. I do not own 'Chang' from 'Gundam Wing' he is owned by... ummm.. I don't know. Someone who is better than me, lets just put it that way. I do not own 'Koushiro' from 'Digimon' he is owned by another person by whom I do not know. And yet again, by someone who is better than me.
