Sakaki's Shugo Chara

A usual school starts when Sakaki arrives to school. There she sees Kamineko, the neighborhood stray cat. She hopes that it could let her pet it this time. As she was about gently reach for its head, a sudden voice called "Ohayou, Sakaki-san!" It was Chiyo! Trying to forget about Kamineko, Sakaki then walked with Chiyo to school.

The day goes on as usual. Everyone, especially Kaorin, glances at Sakaki once in a while and silenty talks about how cool she is. However, Sakaki has always been tired of being called "cool" by everone in her class. In actuality, she would adore anything cute. Especially kittens.

It was after school when she was walking home with Kagura, she saw Kamineko again. Sakaki wanted to pet him this time because she forgot about him this morning. She was about to reach her hand into his head until it bit her again! She tried to release her hand, but Kagura just slapped it. "Hey! Don't bite! Shoo! Shoo!" Then as Kamineko ran away, Kagura faced to Sakaki and said "Honestly, Sakaki! They're never gonna learn unless you hit them like that!" Sakaki felt terribly sorry for Kamineko, but all she could do right now was nod.

As soon as she reached her home, Sakaki asked her mother about her allergies, the primary reason she cannot have a pet. Apparently, they're getting worse. Feeling desperate, Sakaki rushed into her room. Then until evening she did her homework, and then entertained herself with the cute things in her room like stuffed animals, pet catalogs, and such. "Why can't I just be cute like Chiyo-chan? She's adorable! Especially in that penguin costume she wore the last culture festival! My classmates would be incredibly disgusted if they see me wearing that." A few tears fell from her eyes and she fell asleep.
