Chapter 4
(I finally came out with an update! YES! -happiness-)
She was confused, Sakura had decided later in the day, while skating home. She had left Star alone with Kero, and was a bit worried.
Which ended up being exactly what she should be. When she got home, she went up to her room quickly. Her father and brother, luckily, weren't home. When she opened the door...
Some guy was sitting there.
Star was sitting on Sakura's bed, looking at the guy. He jumped up, looking traumatized, and said, "Sakura! You're finally home!"
Sakura looked at Star. "Um... I'm afraid to ask, but who is this?"
Star laughed nervously. "That's... uh, Kero."
There was silence for a few moments. Sakura stared wide-eyed at "Kero" and examined him. Blue eyes, blonde hair. And for some reason, he appeared Sakura's age. Yet again, so did Star. He was wearing some old t-shirt and pants.
"What?" she finally managed.
The other girl was looking at them both nervously. "Um, well, Kero was asking me all these annoying questions..."
Kero continued, "And her forehead suddenly started glowing." He looked at her. "What's with that?"
She ignored him. "Next thing I know... Poof. He's human."
Sakura almost fell over. All she could manage was, "Wow."

The night came and passed quickly. The next morning, it was decided.
"You two are coming to school with me?!" Sakura almost yelled, but instead just whispered loudly.
Star looked as if it were the worst idea ever thought of, and Kero just nodded. In his human form. Sakura wouldn't ever get over that. "What if someone comes in here when you're not home? There's not really space to hide when you're..." He made a face. "Human."
Both the girls had to agree with that. While Star easily managed to jump out from the window (though it was two stories up), Kero had a bit more trouble. Star had to catch him. It was lucky that she seemed to be stronger, and more athletic, than she appeared. They took a different route to the school (and would have gotten lost if Kero hadn't remembered the way) and met Sakura at the front door. They were supposed to be new students or something.
"Oh!" Sakura exclaimed as they walked into the school. "I just remembered... Li wasn't here yesterday."
Both her and Kero wondered where he was, but Star seemed distracted. She had no idea how to act around normal people.
Kero sighed. "Isn't this just going to be so fun?" he said sarcastically.
(Sorry it's really short. I haven't been working on this so long, I'm out of touch with the characters. I should be updating all of my stories soon. Hopefully.)
