Truth hurts the sequel
Chapter 1
Sakura watched Kero as he played his new x- box on her television. Laughing when he lost and groaning when he won, Sakura decided to join him.
"What? Come on Sakura, you CANNOT be serious! You haven't played it before!" cried Kero as Sakura inserted the wire for a second player into the TV terminal. Sakura just grinned.
"Watching you play is enough practice, Kero." She said with a grin as the disc in the x- box started spinning when Kero pressed the 'start' button.
"This is going to be easy!" exclaimed Kero as the game started.
~~~30 minutes later~~~
"YATTA! I won! AGAIN! HAHAHHA!!!" said a voice in the room. Another one groaned.
"I cannot believe this! I got more practice than you!" said the other voice.
"Come on Kero, don't be a sore loser! I cannot believe I actually won!" cried Sakura happily as she bounced around her room. Before Kero could retort, there was a sudden burst of magic in the room. Sakura shielded her eyes from the bright light coming from the source and squinted. There was a white figure and Sakura's heart skipped a beat as fear gripped her.
"Ah! Ghost!" she cried as she flung herself on her bed and covered her head with her pillow, shivering slightly under it. The light faded and the room was silent.
"S- sakura?" said Kero as he tugged her sleeve, eyes on the newcomer. Sakura peeked out from under her pillow and looked directly into transparent gray eyes. Sakura muffled a cry in her pillow and dived under it again.
"Don't be afraid, my child," said the figure. Kero marveled at the smoothness of her voice.
"What do you want?" he asked the ghost. Sakura peeked out of her pillow again and looked at the ghostly figure.
"I have a mission for you," the ghost said gently with a smile.
"W- who are you?" Sakura whispered and sat up when she realized that the ghost meant no harm.
"My name is Kari." The ghost said and Kero nodded. Sitting cross- legged on mid air, he folded his arms and looked at Kari, inviting her to go on.
"Sakura, do you remember Hogwarts?" Said Kari suddenly. Sakura and Kero looked at each other and Sakura nodded.
"I want you to go back there." She said in a pleading voice. "Please?" Kari said as she clasped her hands together.
"W- what? W- why?" stammered Sakura as panic gripped her again. Hogwarts? Of all places!
"They are in danger of the dark lord and you have to fulfill a prophecy there. I can tell you no more," said Kari sadly.
"W- why?" asked Kero.
"I can tell you no more," repeated Kari. She looked at Sakura pleadingly.
"Sakura, please go back! Hogwarts will die out without you, Sakura. Please?"
Sakura looked at Kero and he sighed. He nodded.
"Are you sure, Kero?" she asked the winged beast. He nodded gravely.
"Take the cards. Yue will stay here and I will come with you. I will tell Yue when you get there." Said Kero as she grabbed the book and threw it onto Sakura's lap.
"What about you. Kero?" asked Sakura as she opened the book and grabbed the deck of cards, closing the lock with a small 'click' sound.
"I," said Kero, "Am coming with you." Sakura smiled gratefully.
"Thank you Kero," she whispered. Kero smiled back and winked.
"How are we going to get there, Kari?" asked Sakura.
Kari grinned in relief and waved her ghostly arm. A portal filled with a mixture of colours appeared behind her.
"Through this portal. It will take you to the channel of Platform 9¾ and you will emerge there. Don't worry. It's safe. As you should have noticed, school year at Hogwarts starts today. I wish you guys best of luck and everything." Explained Kari.
"But what about Syaoran and Tomoyo?" asked Sakura. Kari just shook her head.
"I only have powers to transport two at a time. They will have to wait, Sakura. But I promise you I will bring them over as soon as possible." Said Kari reassuringly. Sakura hesitated. She decided to send an owl to Syaoran when she got to Hogwarts. Grabbing Kero and putting him in her pocket together with her cards, Sakura gulped nervously and walked towards the portal.
"Sakura!" Kari called and Sakura turned and saw her fading off slowly.
"Expect the unexpected." She said and Sakura looked at Kero, who was gaping at Kari (She used Kero's favorite line!), and smiled. She nodded and walked into the portal.
Hehe.was it nice? Better than the other right? I hope you enjoy this. Ja!
