Sung From The Heart
Chapter 3: Dreaming of a Stranger
"Who are you?" asked Sakura, while the hazy green figure came closer.
The green stranger didn't answer and for some reason, Sakura didn't feel scared, in fact she felt safe.
As the stranger came closer, it wrapped its wraith-like arms around Sakura. Feeling strangely calm and warm, she snuggled closer. After being like this for sometime, Sakura became more inquisitive about this person or creature. Craning her neck, she could only see a hazy veil on the face.
Suddenly, hearing Kero calling to her loudly, Sakura woke up.
~*~
Woken up by his mistress's mumbling, Kero took a look around the room before snuggling back in bed. All of a sudden, he realises a faint green glow is coming from his mistress. Afraid that some demon was taking over Sakura in her sleep, he started to try and wake Sakura up.
After a few minutes of shaking, Kero resolved by shouting in her ear. "Kerro� stop it" and his mistress turned over. Dashing into the bathroom, he grabbed a pitcher of cold water. Flying as fast as he can with out spilling any water, he chucks the whole lot on Sakura.
"Cold!" Sakura screamed and totally jumped out of her bed. Shivering, she heads to the shower, giving Kero the evil eye on the way.
Coming out of the shower, Sakura starts cleaning her bed. After that's done, she sits down and finally asks Kero what happened. "Why did you have to wake me at 4:00 in the morning?" Sakura asked, a little bit angry.
"You were glowing green," replied Kero.
"I had a dream�" stated Sakura, drifting from the conversation.

After repeating what she dreamed, Kero finally fell asleep. Sakura her self could go back to sleep so think back to the dream, she grabs paper and pencil.
Turn it inside out
So I can see
The part of you
That's drifting over me
And when I wake
You're never there
But when I sleep
You're everywhere
You're everywhere
Continuing the song until 6:30 she wearily climbs down the stairs to breakfast.

Later at around 4:00 in the afternoon, Sakura and Tomoyo chatted in the limo that was taking them to the music company.
"So did Brad ask you out, again?" inquired Tomoyo, laughing.
"Yeah, can't he take a hint? I told him like five times already," replied Sakura, annoyed.
Exiting the limo, Sakura accidentally bumped into a guy.
"Sorry" said Sakura then exclaimed, "Is that you, Eriol?"
"Yes, it good to see you again Sakura." said the smiling Eriol.
"I'll leave you two alone," replied Sakura, leaving a red Tomoyo.
Entering, Sakura was greeted by the staff. They all liked her for her sweetness and enjoyed working with her. Seeing that Mr Rashidi wasn't there, she stooped to look at a note with "Sakura" on it. It read, "Sakura, sorry I wasn't here, you have a new photo shoot for your single, Forgiven, Not Forgotten. Another recording day also. Get Tomoyo's advice on which song.
Not waiting for Tomoyo, Sakura entered the set and got ready. Her song was called "Everywhere" and everyone had said it was good.
"Ready, Miss Kinomoto?" asked Julia, a friendly staff member.
As they hit the recording button, Sakura started.
Turn it inside out
So I can see
The part of you
That's drifting over me
And when I wake
You're never there
But when I sleep
You're everywhere
You're everywhere
Just tell me
How I got this far
Just tell me
Why you're here
And who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there
'Cause you're
Everywhere to me
And when
I close my eyes
It's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
Whoa whoa
I'm not alone
I recognise the way
You make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now
The water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain
Away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're
Everywhere to me
And when
I close my eyes
It's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
Whoa whoa
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, ooh, oh
And when
I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never
Comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
'Cause you're
Everywhere to me
And when
I close my eyes
It's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're
Everywhere to me
And when
I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
Whoa whoa
Oh, you're in
Everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
Hearing claps, Sakura turned around to see Tomoyo and Eriol smiling. She herself smiles.

Two weeks later in China�
Syaoran groaned as Sally jumped on his bed, causing him to turn around and sleep again. Seeing he won't wake up, she turned on the radio to her favourite channel. Turning up the volume pretty high, she sits down on the bed and waits for her boyfriend to wake up.
Pretending to sleep, Syaoran listens to the radio as they announce Sakura's latest song, Everywhere. "I truly miss her�"
Finally deciding to get up, he got dressed in the bathroom and the couple went out for breakfast, letting Wei know.
~*~
Meanwhile in another part of China�
A red-eyed girl listens to the competition that is being announced on the radio. "If a person phoned to our radio station many times, he or she will win a trip with for two with the lovely Sakura Kinomoto! Thinking of a scheme for a certain cousin of hers, she starts phoning.
