As Sakura skated up to the school, she spotted Shaoran, Eriol, and Tomoyo standing near the gate. She met up with them and together, walked into the school. They chatted about friends and school. When the bell rang the class quickly took their seats as the teacher opened the door and walked in. However, he left the door open after stepping into the class and walked to his desk.

"Class, we have a new transfer student joining us today." He said as he gestured to the person standing outside the door. "Her name is Leverette Celeste. I hope you will all make her feel welcomed."

As he said this, the entire class turned to the door to see a girl step inside and close the door behind her. She stepped up to the front and stood beside the teacher. Every eye of every guy in class widened slightly. She had long red hair that reached to her waist and beautiful green eyes, similar to Sakura's Shaoran noticed. She wore the usual school uniform and had a slight smile on her lips. Tomoyo noticed the reactions of all the guys and turned to see that even Eriol and Shaoran had looks of amazement on their faces. She frowned at Eriol and he looked at her and immediately moved his eyes to stare at the surface of his desk while blushing slightly. He looked over and caught Shaoran eye. They had both sensed some magic from this girl.

"Celeste, why don't you tell us a little about what brings you to Tomoeda." The teacher said, completely oblivious to the effect this girl was having on his students.

Her voice was laden with a French accent as she spoke in rich soothing tones, "my parents and I just moved here from Bordeaux, France. We just got in yesterday and this is my first time in Japan."

There were whispers from all around the room, mainly from the guys, about anyone who would show her around. The teacher motioned for quiet and said, "Well, welcome to Tomoeda Celeste. It looks like there's an empty seat in front of Sakura. Sakura, would you mind showing Celeste around today?"

"Not at all," Sakura said in her happiest voice. She liked making new friends and this girl seemed really nice. Amidst the groans of protest from many of the other guys, Celeste made her way over to the girl that had spoken. "Hi, my name's Sakura. Nice to meet you." She said as she held her hand out to shake while smiling broadly.

Celeste took the offered hand and smiled back while saying, "My name is Celeste. It is a pleasure to meet you." Celeste then took her seat and the teacher began the lesson.

When the lunch bell rang, Celeste grabbed her bag and headed outside. She then noticed that Sakura was waving to her from under a cherry blossom tree. As she approached the tree she saw that there was another girl and two guys seated there as well. She immediately recognized them from her classes and greeted them all with a cheery "good afternoon."

"Hi Celeste, I was wondering if you'd like to sit with us for lunch?" Sakura asked not noticing the looks that Eriol and Shaoran passed each other.

"I would like that," and with that Celeste sat down and began her lunch while Sakura introduced her friends.

"This is my best friend Tomoyo and this is Eriol and that is Shaoran." She said, pointing to each in turn.

Tomoyo greeted her with a hearty shake, Eriol took her hand in his and placed a kiss on her knuckles, and Shaoran just said, "hi."

The three girls talked about many things, mainly about Tomoyo's movies, of which Celeste seemed particularly interested. She even agreed to be in one after Tomoyo said she had the perfect part for her. Eriol and Shaoran stayed quiet for the most part, only speaking when asked a specific question. Neither was sure who or what this girl was, but they knew she had magic, and they would definitely find out what her story was.

"Hey Celeste, we're all going over to my house this afternoon. Do you want to come?" Sakura suddenly asked, though she received surprised looks from the others in her group as they were going to discuss magic this afternoon.

"I am sorry Sakura, but I have much to do this afternoon at home. Thank you for the invitation though. Perhaps another time." Celeste politely declined, causing Eriol and Shaoran to sigh in relief, though no one really noticed.

"Well, how about you come over this Friday, after school? I'm sure my dad can cook some extra."

"That would be wonderful Sakura. I will have to ask my parents but I am sure that I can come."

Just then the end of lunch bell rang and the group packed up and made their way back to class. At the end of the day, they all said goodbye to Celeste and continued on to Sakura's house.

Just as they all entered the Kinomoto household and removed their shoes, they heard a faint yell. Just then, a flour covered Kero came flying out of the kitchen at top speed and hid behind Sakura. Following close behind, an angry face Yue stepped out from the kitchen, the top of his head and shoulders covered in flour.

"Help! He's going to kill me." Kero screeched as Yue stood in front of the little group. Yue just stood there, his face set in its cold mask, but his eyes showing his irritation and anger at the plush sized guardian.

Sakura smiled at her two guardians and motioned them both back into the kitchen. When she arrived, she saw that half the kitchen was covered in flour. "What happened?"

"I was just trying to help." Kero whined and then yelped and dove back behind Sakura as Yue glared at him.

"Help, you call it. I was doing fine without you. I was bored and decided to cook something so I made some cookies." Yue said as he motioned to a counter that had escaped the flour, upon which sat a tray of freshly baked cookies. "When Kero came in and decided to help himself to my hard work, I pushed him away."

"Pushed me away, yeah right. You threw me into the bag of flour."

Sakura could tell that this was about to turn into an all out war between the two, so she decided to put a stop to it now. "All right. Yue, why don't you put the cookies away and go upstairs and get cleaned up. Kero, I will use the bubble card and clean up this mess, but the next time Yue is in the kitchen, don't bother him. Understand?"

"Yes Sakura." Keroberus almost whispered and then frowned when he saw a satisfied smirk on Yue's face. Yue put the cookies into a container and left them on the counter. He then made his way upstairs to get cleaned up. Sakura used the Bubble Card and commanded it to clean up the kitchen as well as Kero. Once everything was clean, she began fixing tea for her guests. Once the tea was finished she set four cups and saucers on a tray along with the tea and carried it out to the living room, followed closely by Kero.

She set the tray on the low table and prepared tea for each of her guests and then a cup for herself as she sat down across from Tomoyo. "What was that about?" Tomoyo asked as she took a sip of her tea.

"Just a little mess. Nothing Bubbles couldn't take care of." Sakura smiled and sipped her own tea.

Yue came down a few minutes later, flour free, and went back into the kitchen. He came out a moment later and set the container of cookies in the middle of the table. He then grabbed Kero by the tail as he raced to get one of the cookies he had tried to take earlier. "Awe, come on Yue. I'm sorry. I won't do it ever again." Kero again whined, but Yue wouldn't be taken in by his pitiful little act. He held onto Kero while the four humans each ate several cookies along with their tea.

"Those were great Yue. You should cook more often." Sakura complimented after the cookies were just about gone. Shaoran had eaten more that everyone else because anytime anyone took a cookie, Kero would start whimpering, and he loved to see the stuffed animal suffer like that.

Yue just ignored his brother and sat down on the couch behind Sakura. When there was only one cookie left, Yue let Kero go and watched, amused, as he almost cried as he ate the one cookie.

Eriol decided now was the time to tell them all of why he and Shaoran were here. So he began with, "Sakura, there is something we must discuss with you."

"Ok, what is it?"

"I believe, as does Shaoran, that something bad is going to happen soon and the Clow Cards will once again be put to use."

"Really! What do you think it is?"

"We're not sure," Shaoran said, "all we know is that it is something bad."

"It is some sort of evil," Yue said quietly, causing everyone to look at him.

"You felt it as well Yue?" Eriol asked. Yue simply nodded his head and refused to say anymore. "Well then, we must all be on guard. You never know when it will attack. We don't even know what it's after."

Shaoran then decided to make a point, "what about that new girl? She has magic."

"Celeste may indeed have magic, but she may not even know it. We will still keep an eye on her just to make sure."

Sakura couldn't believe that Celeste would cause them any harm and said, "but Celeste is so nice. She wouldn't do anything bad."

"Evil has many disguises," and with that, Yue rose and made his way upstairs to his room.

The four humans, along with Kero, talked for about another hour about what they could possibly be after. The only thing they could even think remotely possible was that someone was after the Star Cards. The group separated and Eriol, Tomoyo, and Shaoran made their ways to their own respected homes.

A/N: Just so you get the title of this fic I'll tell you that Celeste Leverette translates as something like 'Heavenly Little Bunny'.
