Chapter 15: Sakura, Me, And Kero's Big Fight!: Floating Above The Storm!

About a few days after Li, Sakura and I had captured the Mist card at the culture festival at Tori and Julian's high school, Li, Madison, Kero, Sakura and I were in a small area of the woods, and Kero, Sakura and me were trying our hardest to try and walk towards a strong swirling tornado that had seemed to pop up out of nowhere while Madison was filming us on her camera as usual. Unfortunately, the wind picked up speed almost instantly, and all three of us were thrown backwards until we passed a tree and Sakura and I managed to grab hold of the tree's trunk. I then opened one eye, and I then saw that Li was taking his attempt at trying to reach the swirling vortex, and unfortunately for him, the wind picked up speed again. But, even though Li tripped and was thrown directly to the top of the vortex, Li instantly unsheathed his sword and pulled out one of his element talismans. "Element, Thunder, come to my aid!" Li chanted.It was after Li had finished his chant that a huge bolt of lightning went from the tip of his sword all the way down to the bottom of the swirling vortex, and as soon as the bolt of lightning hit the bottom of the vortex, the vortex instantly dissipated and the wind died down. "Alright, Sakura and Zachary, seal the Storm card!" Kero said. "Right!" I said in response as Sakura an I approached the spot where the remnants of the vortex was and raised our respective staffs. "We command you to return to your power confined, Storm Card!" Sakura and I chanted in unison as we swung our respective staffs down at the same time. But unfortunately, when the Storm card was finally sealed and Sakura and I went to grab it, the card flew into Li's left hand, and Sakura and I sadly sighed. "The clow card always becomes the property of the person who returns it to its original form" Kero said.Soon after Kero finished his sentence, Li jumped down from the tree he was hanging from. "I guess the Storm Card belongs to the kid" Kero said in a depressed tone of voice. "I knew you both couldn't do it, neither one of you has what it takes to capture the cards" Li said to me and Sakura in a taunting tone of voice. "What did you just say kid!?" Kero said in an irritated tone of voice. "Li, I think your taking this taunting thing a little too far!" I said in an extremely agitated tone of voice.After Li left, Madison approached me and Sakura to try and help us forget about Li's unnecessary taunting comments. "Its alright, you'll get the next card next time" Madison said. "Yea….okay" Sakuraq said in a depressed tone of voice as we started to walk in a random direction. "Both of them worked so hard on trying to capture that clow card" Kero said. Kero and Madison then looked at me and Sakura just in time to see us trip and fall into a puddle.About half an hour later, Sakura and I had made it home. Shortly after we made it home, we went up to our room, and then hung up our battle costumes to dry. "I can't believe neither one of us got the clow card" I said in an extremely depressed tone of voice. "Kero, maybe Li is right, maybe we don't have what it takes" Sakura said in an extremely depressed tone of voice as well.It was then that me and Sakura noticed that Kero was sitting on the floor and he was deep in thought. "Kero are you even listening to what me and Sakura are saying?" I asked in a slightly concerned/irritated tone of voice. Once again, Kero didn't answer us. "HEY KERO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.Unfortunately for us, Kero wasn't so thankful for us yelling straight into his ear. "What are you screaming at me for, I'm trying to come up with a plan to beat that little kid in capturing the clow cards!" Kero said in response in an agitated tone of voice. "Oh, sorry" I said in response. "So, what is your plan?" Sakura asked Kero. "Well...I...Uh...I totally forgot now" Kero said/yelled in a somewhat agitated tone of voice. "WHAT, BUT WE WERE COUNTING ON YOU!" Sakura said to Kero in an extremely agitated and very upset tone of voice. "YOU ALMOST BROKE MY EARS!" Kero responded in an agitated tone of voice once again.A few seconds after Sakura and me had started arguing with Kero, Sakura and I turned our backs away from Kero, while Kero turned away from me and Sakura. "We DID NOT interrupt you!" I said angrily to Kero. "Did to!" Kero said angrily in response. "We DID NOT, and that is all there is too it!" Sakura and said as I went to turn off the light. A few seconds after I turned off the light, Sakura and I got into our beds. "We're going to bed, good night!" Sakura said to Kero in a still somewhat stern and agitated tone of voice. And a few seconds after that, Sakura and I fell asleep.After Sakura and I had had our fight with Kero last night and we all went to sleep, Sakura and I woke up in the morning to try and tell Kero that we were sorry for what we had said to him last night. But, for some reason we couldn't find him. "Kero, where are you?" Sakura asked/said as we tried to figure out where he was.It was when Sakura and I had just walked past the desk near the corner of the room that we heard Kero's voice. "Down here" Kero said in a somewhat muffled tone of voice. About a few seconds after Sakura and I had heard Kero's voice, the bottom drawer of the desk slid open, and Kero came out. "What are you doing down there?" I asked Kero in a very confused tone of voice.About a split second after I had asked the question, Sakura noticed all the items that were inside the desk drawer that Kero was in. "So, what do you think, I moved in here last night, it may be kind of tiny, but it's pretty cozy" Kero said to me and Sakura in a happy tone of voice. "What happened to all of the stuff that I put in there?" Sakura asked in a very upset tone of voice. "You mean the junk that was in here, oh it's over there" Kero said while pointing underneath the desk.As soon as Sakura and I looked at where Kero was pointing, we immediately saw all of the stuff that was originally in the drawer where Kero was, and that was when it all started to go downhill.About a second or two after Sakura and I saw all of the stuff that Kero had tossed out of the desk drawer, that was when both of us decided that enough, was enough. I then pulled out the drawer with Kero still in it and shook it until he and the stuff he had used to make his bedroom were all on the floor. "Hey, what did you do that for!?" Kero yelled at me and Sakura in an angry tone of voice. "You completely messed up our drawer!?" I yelled at Kero in response as I started to put all of the stuff that Kero had tossed under the desk back into the drawer. Kero then called both of us "room wrecking monsters", and then I retaliated by saying that neither I or Sakura had given him permission to use the desk drawer as a bedroom in the first place.After Sakura and I finished putting our stuff back into the drawer, we then put on our school uniforms, and then headed out towards the school. A few periods into the school day, Madison, Sakura and I talked about what had happened during me and Sakura's fight with Kero. "Wow, so I guess that's why you two are in such a bad mood" Madison said to me and Sakura in a somewhat concerned tone of voice. "Yea, he just took all the stuff that was in the drawer and just threw it on the floor" I said to Madison in response.Meanwhile, back at the house in me and Sakura's room, Kero was busy painting something on one of me and Sakura's books. After Kero had finished painting, he flew out of our room and flew into the living room.After he got to the living room, he saw a package that was shaped like a box full of chocolates. Kero was deciding whether or not to tear it open to see what it was, but he knew all too well that Sakura and I were still very upset at him. But instead of deciding to not open it, and avoid getting into bigger trouble with me and Sakura, Kero decided to tear it open anyway. As soon as he tore it open, he immediately started eating the chocolates that were inside the package.Meanwhile, back at me and Sakura's school, Madison, Sakura and I were sitting at the pond in the school's courtyard talking about Kero again. "I know that Kero wants his privacy, but that doesn't give him the right to wreck our desk drawer" Sakura said in a somewhat depressed and concerned tone of voice. "I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt your feelings" Madison said as she tried to make me and Sakura feel less depressed. About a few hours after Madison, Sakura and I had had our conversation in the school's courtyard, Sakura and I headed home.When Sakura and I had arrived at our house, we immediately started walking towards the stairs to head up to our room, that is, until we sawthe empty box of chocolates. "I can't believe Kero ate the whole box of chocolates, they were supposed to be for dad" I said in a somewhat agitated tone of voice. And shortly after Sakura and I had finished the sentence, we felt a slight breeze coming from the window. Sakura and I then noticed the small chocolate covered footprints on the window sill.A little later that evening, Sakura and I had just finished our dinner. Our dad then asked us if we had seen his packaged box of chocolates anywhere. Sakura and I responded by saying that we didn't see it anywhere either. Sakura and I then went upstairs to our room to get ready for bed. When Sakura and I got upstairs, we instantly saw the painted letter on our books. Sakura and I then noticed that Kero was nowhere to be seen. "Where did he go?" Sakura said/asked to no one in particular in a very confused tone of voice.The next morning, Kero was sleeping on a broken couch out in the street somewhere, that is, until a young girl came outside to take out some trash and spotted him. The young girl then decided to take Kero in as a pet.A little later, Kero finally woke up to find himself in a baby stroller instead of the broken couch that he remembered going to sleep on. "Where am I?" Kero asked to no one in particular in a somewhat scared and confused tone of voice.It was then that the door to the room swung open, and the young girl walked in. "Oh good, your awake" the young girl said to Kero. Kero then immediately knew that he hadn't seen this young girl before. The young girl then put a bowl of food on the table in front of Kero. "Here's your breakfast" the young girl said. "My name is Anika, what is yours?" Anika asked Kero.Meanwhile back at home, Sakura and I were looking out the window of our room and wondering about Kero, and shortly after that, both of headed back downstairs.The next day, Madison, Sakura and me were walking in the school courtyard and talking about Kero running away. A little later into the conversation, the three of us decided to go look for Kero downtown.Back at Anika's house, Kero was faxing a letter to me and Sakura to help us find him. Shortly after Sakura and I had received the letter, I called Madison to help me and Sakura find Kero's location. When Madison found Kero's exact location, Sakura and I immediately put on our shoes, and then went off to find him.Meanwhile, Kero was waiting impatiently back at Anika's house for me and Sakura to come and bring him home. Suddenly, everything in the room that Anika and Kero were in started floating above the floor. Anika then floated out of the house through the open window.It was then that Kero saw a weird but strangely familiar purple and pink colored ball with wings near where Anika was floating. "It's a clow card!" Kero said in a somewhat shocked tone of voice. About a second after Kero finished his sentence; Anika was blown away in the wind and was carried up high into the sky. "It has to be the Float card!" Kero said in a very serious tone of voice. Kero then flew after Anika to try and get her away from the Float card spirit. But unfortunately, Kero soon ran out of energy, and started falling down at a very fast speed, that is until he fell gently into Sakura's hand as we passed by on our winged staffs. "Sakura, Zachary, what are you doing here?" Kero asked us in a somewhat confused tone of voice. "Madison used your fax to find you, and it looks like me and Sakura are just in time" I said to Kero in response. "The Float card is the one behind this, it likes to scare the daylights out of people, and you two are going to have to seal it quickly" Kero said to me and Sakura in a serious tone of voice. "You got it!" Sakura said to Kero.As soon as Kero, Sakura and I got close enough to the Float card spirit, Sakura and I quickly got off our respective winged staffs, and raised them over our heads. "Float card, we command you to return to your power confined, Float card!" Sakura and I chanted and yelled in unison as we swung our respective staffs down at the same time. A few seconds after that, the Float card was sealed. But we weren't finished yet, without the Float card spirit being under Anika to keep her floating up in the air, she started to fall towards the ground, that is, until Sakura and I got back onto our winged staffs, raced towards Anika as fast as we could, and when she was almost near the ground, I immediately pulled out the Wood card, and then Sakura and I once again got off our winged staffs, raised our respective staffs and said "Wood card, come to our aid, Wood, release and dispel!" Sakura and I chanted as we hit the Wood at the same time with the tips of our respective staffs.About a few seconds after that, the Wood card spirit appeared, flew down to the ground, and formed a giant tree and Anika fell through the tree until she stopped a few inches from the ground tangled in vines. "Now that was a bit too close for comfort" I said as I wiped the sweat from my forehead. "I agree with that completely" Sakura said as she also wiped the sweat from her very sweaty forehead and her neck.
