Now That I Have You(Can I Keep You)
***********
Kero softly stroked Sakura's sandly blond hair with a quite smile on his face. It was one of his favorite things to do in his animal form. Stroke her hair and listen to her mumble in her sleep. His now human eyelids were closed lightly, not sleeping. There were so many things to consider now that he was human. Supporting Sakura, learning to be human, learning to ACT human, just plain learning to deal with life instead of being forced to hide from it. Then there was the course of getting a job. An education for the job wasn't much of an issue, I mean when u're over 2,000 years old how much more is there to learn.
Besides, he still had his magic and spells in his favor. There would be those things to consider later, for now everything was perfect. Well..almost everything, Kero thought looking down at his grumbling stomach. He looked down at Sakura's place on his chest. Starvation or Sakura?Starvation or Sakura? Sakura needed an unstarved Kero didn't she? Oh well majurity wins in favor of the food! Kero gently slid his dark blond head off the bed and slowly began to replace his body with that of a pillow.
Kero quietly slipped on his black boxers and gently closed the door on his way out. The hallway to the stairs was still a bit dark with dawn approaching, but it was still pretty light. "Hmm wonder what Sakura wants for breakfast?" He wondered on his way down the stairs.
"Ahhhhh beautiful kitchen how I missed thee." Kero whispered hugging the fridge. He was about to open the fridge when he decided on the freezer. Sakura rarely had icecream for breakfast. Maybe it was time to change that......
**********
Sakura groaned happily, gently snuggling into the warmth beneath her. If there was any warmth. Sakura's emerald eyes popped open at the lack of heat beneath her. She instantly sat up with her palms supporting her enough to look under her body. "Kero?" Sakura began to look around frantically. "Kero?Kero! Where are you?!" She sobbed. It couldn't have been a dream! It just couldn't have! Her mind was a blur as she looked down at her body. She didn't have her pajama's on! It had to be real! Didn't it?
On instinct her eyes quickly shifted to the Kero's drawer in which he usually slept. She fell to her knees as she saw a golden tail with pale yellow fleece on its tip. She wrapped her sheet around her naked body as she sat on the floor. Sakura quieted her sobs so as not to wake Kero. It felt as if all her dreams had been smeared across her face. Her shoulders and body trembled and shook with her quiet cries.
Someone had loved her. KERO had loved her. Did this mean he didn't? It didn't matter anyways. How could they be together when he wasn't human? He was just her old guardian. She would just have to get used to that again......
**********
Kero's ears perked up as a sound reached his ear. He gently stuck his head out of the fridge to listen more intently.
"Kero!"
It sounded like Sakura! Forgetting the two bowls of icecream he raced up the stairs to her room. Her door swung open and he steped in to find Sakura's sheet wrapped body trembling on the floor.Kero raced over to her shaking form and quiet sobs. He crouched to her level and stared at her tear streaked face. Didn't she notice he was here?Why was she crying? Was she hurt? What happened? Kero gently placed a bronze colorded hand on her shoulder.
"Sakura what wrong?" He asked, his voice worried and gentle.
Her head snapped up at the familiar voice and she stared at him in shock.
"K-Kero?"
Kero nodded and caressed her cheek with the back of his hand.
"Who else? Whats going on? Why're you crying?"
Instead of replying, Sakura smiled a teary smile and threw herself into his arms.
"Oh god Kero! I thought you-I-I thought-" But her words were muffled by her tears of happiness.
"What?"
Suddenly she remembered Kero's old drawr.
"But if you're here, then whats that?" She asked pointing to the golden tail hanging from the drawer.
Confused, Kero walked over to his drawr and pulled the tail out.
"Is this what you're talking about?" He asked holding up a gold colored winter scarf with dark fleece on the end.
"Oh." Sakura blushed a little but smiled. "Sorry about that."
Kero chuckled, but it soon came to a hault as he realized he was standing infront of Sakura's vanity. Kero stared at his relfection for the first time since Clow transeformed him. He made out ever detail of every pore.
Sakura tightly wrapped the sheet around her and walked up behind him.
"Even as a human you look like an exotic animal." She whispered looking into the mirror with him as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Kero put his hands over her arms and brought her around in front of him so they switched positions. It was like looking at a perfect picture. He smiled and began studying himself. His coloring pretty much stayed the same. Except the lack of fur bared the tan/bronze skin that was hidden underneath it all along. Dark golden hair that was quite spikey with bangs that brushed his eyes and tickled his nose. Then there was his eyes, they were such a deep pool of blue that they looked practically black, they're shape was instead of just to button dots were now the shape of Syaorans'. He was quite tall as well, about a head taller than Sakura herself. His teeth on the other hand hadn't chaged from his animal form. His canines instead of the normal human were practically fangs!
"Feels kinda wierd." He said.
"Well you've only been human once before silly." Sakura answered smiling.
Keron nodded and layed his chin on top of Sakura's head still looking in the mirror.
"When should we tell the others?" She asked
"By others you mean Tomoyo?"
"And Meilin and Syao- Yeah you're right."
Kero laughed but his smile soon faded and he looked away from the mirror.
"Whats wrong Kero?" She said looking up worriedly.
Kero was silent for a long time before anwering.
"I have you now Sakura.......but how long can I keep you?" He whispered holding her even tighter to his warm body.
"Forever Kero, forever always." She replyed trying to comfort him.
"You say that now, but how long do I have untill I have to share you? I don't want to share you Sakura. I can't!" He said clenching his eyes shut and crushing her to his body.
Sakura smile as she turned in his arms and put her hand on his cheek.
"Why do you think that? Kero I'm not going anywhere."
Kero smiled sadly but nodded anyway. He closed his eyes and leaned into her hand. "I don't know, its just this feeling I have. You know, that feeling like something's too good to be true and you know its not."
"Um I could be wrong, but I think its called happiness Ro-chan."
"Maybe you're right, I don't know, its just a feeling. It really sucks when you don't know everything like I used to."
Sakura chuckled a little. "Welcome to my world."
Sakura noticed that Kero was still not satisfied. "Want me to go over to Tomoyo's now? Just so you have time to think."
Kero sighed and held her a little tighter. "Do you have to go?"
"Don't worry, you have to be there sometime to, or else she won't believe me."
He nodded and reluctantly let her go.
"I better go get dresses if I'm going."
"Yeah me to, I think I'm going to go take a walk."
**********
Sakura had gone off to Tomoyo's and Kero had changed into his outfit of last night and had started walking around where ever his feet took him. He sighed as he shoved his hands into his pockets and kicked around a can as he walked. What was he going to do now? He had all he wanted now. Sakura loved him, he was human, the card captor adventures were over, so why did he have this feeling like it wouldn't last?
He groaned and collapsed on a park bench. Kero sighed and ran a bronze hand through his dark blond hair. He felt around his pocket searching for something and finally pulled out a pocket game. Kero smiled at his precious game.In his animal form he had gotten bored with all the games Sakura had and had beaten all the bad guys. Since good hard games were usually expensive he decided to improve his video game. Creating new bosses, heros and heroins, more creative levels and more strategies and new weapons.
It was one of his favorite video games. He had eventually done the same to all the other old ones to. But now he had beaten them all and there was nothing else left to do. Oh well, it would get his mind off his troubles for now. A little tounge began to peek out of the coner of his mouth as he easily played.
"Hey mister."
Kero's head whipped up and he stared at this little child staring at him with big innocent eyes.
"Hey mister whatchya playin'?" He asked pointing at the game.
"Oh this? Don't have a name for it yet but its pretty good."
"Can I play?"
"Huh? Oh yeah sure! Give it a try its pretty hard though." Kero warned handing him the game.
"I can handle it." The boy said challengingly.
Kero watched the boy play with strain and decided to ask his question. "So whats your name kid? Mine's Kero."
"Tsuno, hey this game is really hard Mr.Kero." Tsuno said frustrated as he died for the third time.
"Hey why don't you just take it home and finish it, I've got plenty of others." Kero said smiling.
"Really Mr.Kero! I can keep it!" The child exclaimed excitedly.
"Sure I don't mind. Now you better go before someone thinks I'm kidnapping you!"
The boy smiled and rushed off saying thank you.
Kero sighed as he put his hands behind his head and leaned back against the bench. Now what was he going to do?Might as well keep walking, it was still early so he had more than plenty of time to get to Tomoyo's.
**********
He had been walking around since 10:00 am it was now 3:00pm. Kero just couldn't get his mind of that feeling!.
"SIR! SIR WAIT!"
Kero whipped around to someone calling him. It was a tall middle aged man running towards him. He was a bit lankey and wearing a buisness suit.
"Uh can I help you?"
"Yes, I believe you gave this game to my sone-" He said taking the small game from his pocket.
"Woah buddy I didn't think it was too gory for him, yeah he was a little young but it didn't have half the blood Mortal Combat had!" Kero exclaimed putting his hands up in defense.
"No no you don't understand! This game is unbelievable! My son said you made it! Is this true?"
"Well yeah sorta-"
"Well my names' Yuchiro! Yuchiro Jinko! Pleased to meet you mister-?"
"Kero just Kero I guess...."
"Well you may not know this Mr.Kero but this game could sell for Millions! If we do country importation it could make Billions! Once I show this to my company-"
"Hold up! This sounds like a bit too much for me!"
"But its one of the best supports! I'm quite sure you have a certain lady to support?"
"I don't understand."
"There's nothing to understand Mr.Kero! You have a brilliant game! This could over rate Pokemon!"
"Please get to the point where I care."
"Please consider this Sir. Your games could make you the next Rocafeller!"
"I don't care much about money pal-"
"But does your wife? Or kids?You will have no financial worries what so ever! You could buy them anything! College, or if this is all to soo-"
"I don't have any kids."
"Then this would pay for a brilliant wedding! You know how frantic feme's are when it comes to their wedding day..."
Kero suddenly remembered the bridal magazine Sakura kept under her bed. She WOULD like a beautiful wedding when the day came wouldn't she?
"What exactly are you offering me? A job? Money?"
"All of the above Mr.Kero, you could be the new game designer of the company! We need a brilliant mind such as yours!"
Man how Sakura would be laughing her guts out if she ever heard what this guy was saying......
"A job huh? Well I guess I can't afford not to take this huh? Ok pal you got yourself a deal!"
Kero said shaking Yuchiro's hand. Yuchiro's smile practically went through the roof at that moment.
"Oh by the way Mr.Kero, you will need an agent, a lawyer, and by the chance to you have any more of these games?"
"Oh yeah tons! And don't worry about the whole agent and lawyer crap, I can get those fast-"
"And our company will supply and pay for both!"
"Really!"
"Of course! The first rule of getting an irreplaceable executive, kiss but like you're glued to it!"
Kero laughed and nodded as yuchiro handed him his card.
"Give me a call Mr. Kero! And we'll sort thing out alright?!"
Kero nodded and waved back to him. When the man was out of site Kero turned around only to be met by a pair of vicious brown eyes.
**********
"I just can't believe this Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cried as she grasped her best friend's hands.
"Me either but its true!" Sakura exclaimed happily.
"Wow! kero! Who'da thought? But poor syaoran! He must be heartbroken!"
Sakura went quiet and nodded silently as she turned her head away.
"He was, I feel so bad but there are no regrets!"
Quick to change the subject Tomoyo brought up the questions she's been dying to get answers too.
"So...........how was he!?"
"TOMOYO!"
"Oh come on! Please? I would've told you!"
"You're not me!"
"Please! I just know you're dying to tell me all about his prowess."
"TOMOYO!!!" Sakura shouted whipping her head away from her blushing furiously.
"C'mon! Good?Bad?So so?Wierd?Kinky?"
"SHUT UP!"
Tomoyo continued to bug her friend, enjoying seeing her so flushed.
"Did you tape it???"
"I'm not listening I"m not listening La La La! MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMP LITTLE LAMP LITTLE LAMP MARRY HAD A LITTLE LAMP HIS FLEECE AS WHITE AS SNOW AND EV-"
"Saaaaakuuuuurrrrrrrrraaaaaaaa!!! Tell me!" Tomoyo whined prying Sakura's hands away from her ears.
"He was great! Happy? He was fabulous!"
Tomoyo's eyes twinkled happily.
"Wow..........oh I wish I could find someone like that." She said dreamily.
Sakura laughed a little, it was nice to see Tomoyo act so different from the calm little fashion queen she was used to. A bit wierd but nice none the less.
"So whats Kero look like now?"
"Well, he's pretty tall, very tan skin, unbearably muscular, dar blond hair, big bluish black eyes, his teeth are a bit too sharp for my liking but they're sort of animalistic in a way....."
"Oh Sakura-chan....you're so lucky. He seems to love you so much! I knew there was something a bit more in that fortae."
Sakura rolled her eyes at Tomoyo's mischievious glint in her eyes. Suddenly she was over come with nausea. Sakura quickly covered her mouth and raced to her friend's bathroom.
"Sakura?"
**********
Kero groaned and shook his head to clear the cobwebs. He tried to move and get up but found he was tied tightly to a chair in a dark but furnished room.
"Damn, took you long enough."
Kero's eyes snapped open at the angry voice.
"Syaoran! What the hell do you think you're doing brat!"
Syaoran's eyes narrowed at the young man. And as if in realization opened wide.
"Kero?"
"Who the hell did ya expect brat?"
Syaoran continued to stare at him in shock.
"B-but How?"
"I wished on a shooting star and the blue fairy came." He said sarcastically.
"Don't fuck with me you stuffed doll!! How did you get human!" Syaoran shouted in his face grabbing Kero by the collar.
"Clow did this. Call it a gift."
"Undo it." he whisered deadly.
Kero blinked at began to laugh histerically like Syaoran had just told the funniest joke a live.
"Now I know you're not serious! I'm finally human! I can walk and talk when ever I feel like it! I"m free! Do you honestly think I'm going back to my crap filled life just because some brat with bite asked me to!?"
Syaoran instantly whipped out a knife and held it to Kero's throat. "You will unless you have a death wish." He spat into his face.
"I'd rather die a man than live a coward." Kero spat back.
"Pretty words, thats all they are. But nothing stays beautiful forever-"
"Yeah You're living proof." Kero said.
The knife immediately went deeper into Kero's throat causing him to gag.
"I'm not stupid little doll, I had thought you wouldn't let this go so easily."
"Why are you doing this brat?"
"Why? Because I hate you. I HATE you. I hate everything about you. Your body, memories, feelings, EVERYTHING. And I think Its time I got a little revenge don't you?"
"Revenge for what?!! I hate your guts too but you don't see me strapping you to a chair with a knife to your throat!"
Syaoran's glare deepened but he didn't say anything.
"This isn't about you hating me is it brat? It has nothing to do with that does it?Whats this really about?"
"Shut up doll."
A while of silence passed, Kero staring at Syaoran's back as he went to work on something.
"This isn't about you or me is it? This isn't about you hating me or me hating you? Its about Sakura isn't it?"
Immediately Syaoran slammed around and glared daggers at the blond male.
"SHUT UP! AND LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS!"
Kero began to laugh.
"I'm right! This is all about me getting Sakura and you getting didly isn't it!" He said laughing.
His laughes were immediately haulted as a burning fire poker was jammed through his side. Kero gasped and coughed up a little blood. He could't even scream as the pain and shock of it all over whelmed him. His concious was beginging to leave him and he welcomed the darkness. But his heaven was extremely short lived as his nose began to bleed and soon started to feel a searing pain. Kero looked up to see Syaoran cracking the knuckles of his bloody fist, only the blood wasn't his.
"I sugest you stay awake for this."
Syaoran went around to the back of Kero and shackled his hanks together. He then tied the rest of the shackle around a steel ring in the ceiling that Kero didn't notice. Kero was suddenly hauled up to the ceiling. Syaoran walked around to the front of him and untied him from the chair to let him hang from his place above. Syaoran left for a minute or two and came back with more shackles. When he bent down to shackle Kero's feet together, Kero mustered up enough strength to slam his foot into Syaoran's chin, knocking him across the room.
"Oh you're going to regret that, BIG time." He whispered deadly as he nursed his bleeding chin.
Kero laughed a little, coughing up blood. "I doubt that."
Syaoran glared at him and went to the other side of the room. He came back and set a long packet on the table to the side of Kero. The packet's tie slipped open and unveiled dozens of assortments of toture tools, saws, blades, burners, poisen, salts, ect. Kero gulped but refused to show is fear to the wolf.
"Don't worry about me, I'd be scared too." Syaoran chuckled.
Kero couldn't take the pain of speaking.
Syaoran took out a large fish hook looking blade.
"This I have to say is one of my favorites, wouldn't you say so?"
"You're insane." Kero sputtered, drawing blood from his mouth.
"Maybe so, would you like to know the could part about insanity?" He asked leaning up to whisper in Kero's ear.
"You NEVER feel pain." He whispered before jamming the front of the hook into Kero's stomach. Kero gasped and sputtered blood, but couldn't speak.
"Care to know why you can't scream."
Kero responded with coughs and gasps.
"I know all the pin and pressure points to tear through, each one is related to either the vocal cords or the lungs so while I'm doing this you won't even be able to speak you pain. Ingenious huh? My grandfather invented that little method before he died."
"Screw y-you."
"Hmph, words don't hurt me."
"D-dep-ends on w-who th-they're coming -fr-from huh?"
Another burning poker was jammed through his side with that sentence.
"You're digging your own grave doll."
"Your already in-in you-yours."
Syoaran glared then smiled as he drew a small container from the packet. He opened the top and poured it on the line where he dragged the hook, and the punctures which the pokers left.
Kero gasped and coughed in pain as he realized what it was. Salt.
"Just to keep you from bleeding to death, blood is naturally deprived of bodily salt, so once its capable of getting articficial it will soak it up like a mad frenzy, creating a protective cover, blocking blood flow. But this-" He said pouring lemon juice on the wounds "is purely for entertainment."
For the next few hours Syaoran totured Kero's body with burning pokers, hooks, blades, bad memories, anything that would cause him both physical and emotional pain. After when Syoaran went to clean a new hook looking thing Kero decided to strike. Syoaran came back over ready to toture. He lowered the blade to Kero's groin.
"So what do you say? Balls in or out?"
"Doesn't matter to me anymore."
"Hm that makes two of us." He said ready to rip and tear.
"Either way I keep Sakura." Kero whispered.
"Huh?" Syaoran instantly stopped, his blade in mid flight.
"What are you talking about doll?"
"I've had this feeling all day, no matter how I tried to over come it I just couldn't-"Kero chuckled, coughing up blood, but continued. "then I realized what it was, you, my mind kept saying I was going to lose her, have to give it up, but my heart said that I was going to keep her 'till my dying words. I just didn't listen to it-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Kero continued in his own little world as if he had never heard the angry wolf"She loves me, Sakura loves me, she told me so over and over again as we made love, over and over again. She held me, wrapped her arms around my waist. Played with my hair, kissed me, everything's perfect, will always be perfect-"
"I SAID SHUT UP!!" Syaoran screamed slicing the greath keeper of the clow's throat and ending his life.
**********
Tomoyo stood worriedly over a sick Sakura as she threw the remains of her breakfast into the sink.
"Maybe it was the icecream Sakura-chan, You don't usually have ice cream so early in the morning, maybe your stomach just didn't feel like adapting so fast?"
Sakura immediately keeled over in pain, gripping her stomach and temple.
*Ashiteru Koishii, gomen ne*
"Kero-chan? KERO! Kero matte whats going on!!??" Sakura screamed as she felt a part of herself slipping away from her, she just didn't know what.
"Sakura-chan nani?! Kero's not here!"
"Its kero!! Tomoyo-chan he's hurt! He needs me! I got to help him!" She said trying to get up.
"Sakura stop! You're going to hurt yourself!" She yelled sqeezing her friend to her to keep her from flailing about.
"LET ME GO! HE'S HURT!!" She screeched through her tears.
Not knowing what else to do and not being able to hold her any longer, Tomoyo wrapped her arm around Sakura's throat and applied a little pressure. Within minutes, Sakura's screaming and thrashing was put to an end. Grunting a little, she picked up the light girl and deposited her on her bed.
"Whats wrong Sakura?"
**********
Tomoyo had guessed that Sakura would be out for a while, mostly due to exhaustion. Laying on the bed next to her Tomoyo began to flip through the channels.
"Man there's nothing on!" She complained, suddenly something cought her eye that mad her drop the remote and cover her mouth.
"Kero?"
Reporter:"Only a few hours ago did the police find this young man dead and brutely mutilated, the one responsible has yet to be found.-"
That was all she needed to hear before turning off the t.v. and looking at Sakura's sleeping yet teary face.
"Oh god Sakura. Gomen, gomen ne!" She began to cradle her prone form in her arms and sob.
"Gods I'm so sorry Sakura-chan."
**********
The funeral had been hard. Finding out that Syaoran did it was even harder. Tomoyo was the only one who seemed to be keeping Sakura's sanity in check. After heavy raging and sobbing, Tomoyo had finally agreed to let her search for Syaoran, but only if she took her with her. Sakura had reluctanly agreed. It took two months of flying on her key to finally find the brown wolf. Meilin was with him as usual but not by his will.
Tomoyo remembered how Sakura had gotten this death look in her eye as she leaped off her key to face Syaoran. She was dressed in a black kimono and black fingerless gloves, a costume Tomoyo had designed. Syaoran was surprised that she knew and had desperately tried to lie to her, but she had surprised both Tomoyo and Syaoran when she attacked him with her fists and not her cards. Syoaran was so used to his cards doing the fight for him that it took him too long to adapt and fixate himself to fighting one on one.
Unfortunatley it didn't take Meilin that long. She immediately launched on of Syaoran's cards at her throwing Sakura far across the forest.She recovered immediately though. Sakura glared daggers at Meilin for forcing her to use her cards and not her body. Syoaran groaningly got up and whiped the blood from his lips with the aid of his cousin.
Angry tears streamed down her face as she launched Firey. Everyone but Sakura herslef gasped as they looked at fiery. It was now enormous! Furious flames washed over the surroudings and large intimidating fire wings flapped behind her. her face had distorted into a dragon looking one with blazing slitted eyes. It look livved and glared disgutedly at Syoaran as if it could feel the anger and pain in its mistress and wished to take revenge on the one responsible.
Its tail lashed about angrily and excitedly, catching fire to anything in its wake.
"Kill him!!!" Sakura screamed in pain and anger.
That was all Firey need hear. She launched herself at Syaoran but was cut off by the mirror card. It immediately changed itself into a mirror image of Firey. Firely growled at the mimik unimpressed but severly annoyed. It let a rage of fire launch through its mouth destroying the mirror card instantly. It could mimik its body but not its fury. Its eyes set on Syaoran with disgust. Meilin screamed and tried to let another card loose only to be smacked away my Firey's wing.
It immediately launched itself at Syaoran, wanting the thing that had caused its mistress so much pain to be DEAD! Pawing and clawing at his dodging for like a cat would an annoying bug it finnaly managed to slash its back. He screamed in pain. Just as Firey was about to go in for the kill it hear its misstress call it back.
"Stop! Return to your place confined!" She shouted.
Firey thrashed its long neck refusing to leave its mistress to be hurt anymore.
"This is mine not yours!" She yelled pleadingly to it.
Firey stopped thrashing and stepped aside yet did not leave.
Sakura walked over to Syaoran's bleeding form as he supported himself on his hand and elbow.
"I hate you Li Syaoran. I loved Kero not you."
She watched him flinch and his fists clench.
"Its judgement day you bastard." She whispered before registuring the killing blow to the temple with her key.
She stared at his prone form and dropped the key to the ground as she collapsed to her kneese. The firey dragon nuzzled her neck and licked away her tears, her flames turning holographic so as not to hurt her mistress.
Tomoyo raced over to Sakura and wrapped her arms around her as she sobbed into her chest. It began to rain, it seemed the angel were crying with her.
**********
"PUSH SAKURA!!!!" The Docter screamed to her.
"C'mon Sakura-chan you can do it!" Tomoyo yelled holding her hand gritting as she crushed it.
"SHUT UP!" Sakura screamed to them crushing Tomoyo's hand.
"Aaaaghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"
AAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"There! You did it!"
Screams filled the air but they were not Sakura's or Tomoyo's.
"Its a beautiful baby boy ladies." The doctor smiled.
Tomoyo gratefully took the baby from his arms and into hers once a blue blanket was tightly wrapped around it. The baby continued to scream.
"Sakura look." Tomoyo whispered.
She looked exhaustedly to her baby as they're eyes met.
"oh let me hold him." Sakura exclaimed.
Tomoyo nodded and handed the baby to his mother, only then did he stop crying. Sakura examined her baby's features. Bronze skin, dark blond hair, and emerald eyes that mimiked her own.
"He's beautiful."
"Whatchya gonna call him?"
"Hmm how about Sakero(Sa-Kee-Ro)?"
"Sakero? Sounds nice. I think he'll like it."
"Yeah, me too."
Now That I Have You(Can I Keep You)
***********
Kero softly stroked Sakura's sandly blond hair with a quite smile on his face. It was one of his favorite things to do in his animal form. Stroke her hair and listen to her mumble in her sleep. His now human eyelids were closed lightly, not sleeping. There were so many things to consider now that he was human. Supporting Sakura, learning to be human, learning to ACT human, just plain learning to deal with life instead of being forced to hide from it. Then there was the course of getting a job. An education for the job wasn't much of an issue, I mean when u're over 2,000 years old how much more is there to learn.
Besides, he still had his magic and spells in his favor. There would be those things to consider later, for now everything was perfect. Well..almost everything, Kero thought looking down at his grumbling stomach. He looked down at Sakura's place on his chest. Starvation or Sakura?Starvation or Sakura? Sakura needed an unstarved Kero didn't she? Oh well majurity wins in favor of the food! Kero gently slid his dark blond head off the bed and slowly began to replace his body with that of a pillow.
Kero quietly slipped on his black boxers and gently closed the door on his way out. The hallway to the stairs was still a bit dark with dawn approaching, but it was still pretty light. "Hmm wonder what Sakura wants for breakfast?" He wondered on his way down the stairs.
"Ahhhhh beautiful kitchen how I missed thee." Kero whispered hugging the fridge. He was about to open the fridge when he decided on the freezer. Sakura rarely had icecream for breakfast. Maybe it was time to change that......
**********
Sakura groaned happily, gently snuggling into the warmth beneath her. If there was any warmth. Sakura's emerald eyes popped open at the lack of heat beneath her. She instantly sat up with her palms supporting her enough to look under her body. "Kero?" Sakura began to look around frantically. "Kero?Kero! Where are you?!" She sobbed. It couldn't have been a dream! It just couldn't have! Her mind was a blur as she looked down at her body. She didn't have her pajama's on! It had to be real! Didn't it?
On instinct her eyes quickly shifted to the Kero's drawer in which he usually slept. She fell to her knees as she saw a golden tail with pale yellow fleece on its tip. She wrapped her sheet around her naked body as she sat on the floor. Sakura quieted her sobs so as not to wake Kero. It felt as if all her dreams had been smeared across her face. Her shoulders and body trembled and shook with her quiet cries.
Someone had loved her. KERO had loved her. Did this mean he didn't? It didn't matter anyways. How could they be together when he wasn't human? He was just her old guardian. She would just have to get used to that again......
**********
Kero's ears perked up as a sound reached his ear. He gently stuck his head out of the fridge to listen more intently.
"Kero!"
It sounded like Sakura! Forgetting the two bowls of icecream he raced up the stairs to her room. Her door swung open and he steped in to find Sakura's sheet wrapped body trembling on the floor.Kero raced over to her shaking form and quiet sobs. He crouched to her level and stared at her tear streaked face. Didn't she notice he was here?Why was she crying? Was she hurt? What happened? Kero gently placed a bronze colorded hand on her shoulder.
"Sakura what wrong?" He asked, his voice worried and gentle.
Her head snapped up at the familiar voice and she stared at him in shock.
"K-Kero?"
Kero nodded and caressed her cheek with the back of his hand.
"Who else? Whats going on? Why're you crying?"
Instead of replying, Sakura smiled a teary smile and threw herself into his arms.
"Oh god Kero! I thought you-I-I thought-" But her words were muffled by her tears of happiness.
"What?"
Suddenly she remembered Kero's old drawr.
"But if you're here, then whats that?" She asked pointing to the golden tail hanging from the drawer.
Confused, Kero walked over to his drawr and pulled the tail out.
"Is this what you're talking about?" He asked holding up a gold colored winter scarf with dark fleece on the end.
"Oh." Sakura blushed a little but smiled. "Sorry about that."
Kero chuckled, but it soon came to a hault as he realized he was standing infront of Sakura's vanity. Kero stared at his relfection for the first time since Clow transeformed him. He made out ever detail of every pore.
Sakura tightly wrapped the sheet around her and walked up behind him.
"Even as a human you look like an exotic animal." She whispered looking into the mirror with him as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Kero put his hands over her arms and brought her around in front of him so they switched positions. It was like looking at a perfect picture. He smiled and began studying himself. His coloring pretty much stayed the same. Except the lack of fur bared the tan/bronze skin that was hidden underneath it all along. Dark golden hair that was quite spikey with bangs that brushed his eyes and tickled his nose. Then there was his eyes, they were such a deep pool of blue that they looked practically black, they're shape was instead of just to button dots were now the shape of Syaorans'. He was quite tall as well, about a head taller than Sakura herself. His teeth on the other hand hadn't chaged from his animal form. His canines instead of the normal human were practically fangs!
"Feels kinda wierd." He said.
"Well you've only been human once before silly." Sakura answered smiling.
Keron nodded and layed his chin on top of Sakura's head still looking in the mirror.
"When should we tell the others?" She asked
"By others you mean Tomoyo?"
"And Meilin and Syao- Yeah you're right."
Kero laughed but his smile soon faded and he looked away from the mirror.
"Whats wrong Kero?" She said looking up worriedly.
Kero was silent for a long time before anwering.
"I have you now Sakura.......but how long can I keep you?" He whispered holding her even tighter to his warm body.
"Forever Kero, forever always." She replyed trying to comfort him.
"You say that now, but how long do I have untill I have to share you? I don't want to share you Sakura. I can't!" He said clenching his eyes shut and crushing her to his body.
Sakura smile as she turned in his arms and put her hand on his cheek.
"Why do you think that? Kero I'm not going anywhere."
Kero smiled sadly but nodded anyway. He closed his eyes and leaned into her hand. "I don't know, its just this feeling I have. You know, that feeling like something's too good to be true and you know its not."
"Um I could be wrong, but I think its called happiness Ro-chan."
"Maybe you're right, I don't know, its just a feeling. It really sucks when you don't know everything like I used to."
Sakura chuckled a little. "Welcome to my world."
Sakura noticed that Kero was still not satisfied. "Want me to go over to Tomoyo's now? Just so you have time to think."
Kero sighed and held her a little tighter. "Do you have to go?"
"Don't worry, you have to be there sometime to, or else she won't believe me."
He nodded and reluctantly let her go.
"I better go get dresses if I'm going."
"Yeah me to, I think I'm going to go take a walk."
**********
Sakura had gone off to Tomoyo's and Kero had changed into his outfit of last night and had started walking around where ever his feet took him. He sighed as he shoved his hands into his pockets and kicked around a can as he walked. What was he going to do now? He had all he wanted now. Sakura loved him, he was human, the card captor adventures were over, so why did he have this feeling like it wouldn't last?
He groaned and collapsed on a park bench. Kero sighed and ran a bronze hand through his dark blond hair. He felt around his pocket searching for something and finally pulled out a pocket game. Kero smiled at his precious game.In his animal form he had gotten bored with all the games Sakura had and had beaten all the bad guys. Since good hard games were usually expensive he decided to improve his video game. Creating new bosses, heros and heroins, more creative levels and more strategies and new weapons.
It was one of his favorite video games. He had eventually done the same to all the other old ones to. But now he had beaten them all and there was nothing else left to do. Oh well, it would get his mind off his troubles for now. A little tounge began to peek out of the coner of his mouth as he easily played.
"Hey mister."
Kero's head whipped up and he stared at this little child staring at him with big innocent eyes.
"Hey mister whatchya playin'?" He asked pointing at the game.
"Oh this? Don't have a name for it yet but its pretty good."
"Can I play?"
"Huh? Oh yeah sure! Give it a try its pretty hard though." Kero warned handing him the game.
"I can handle it." The boy said challengingly.
Kero watched the boy play with strain and decided to ask his question. "So whats your name kid? Mine's Kero."
"Tsuno, hey this game is really hard Mr.Kero." Tsuno said frustrated as he died for the third time.
"Hey why don't you just take it home and finish it, I've got plenty of others." Kero said smiling.
"Really Mr.Kero! I can keep it!" The child exclaimed excitedly.
"Sure I don't mind. Now you better go before someone thinks I'm kidnapping you!"
The boy smiled and rushed off saying thank you.
Kero sighed as he put his hands behind his head and leaned back against the bench. Now what was he going to do?Might as well keep walking, it was still early so he had more than plenty of time to get to Tomoyo's.
**********
He had been walking around since 10:00 am it was now 3:00pm. Kero just couldn't get his mind of that feeling!.
"SIR! SIR WAIT!"
Kero whipped around to someone calling him. It was a tall middle aged man running towards him. He was a bit lankey and wearing a buisness suit.
"Uh can I help you?"
"Yes, I believe you gave this game to my sone-" He said taking the small game from his pocket.
"Woah buddy I didn't think it was too gory for him, yeah he was a little young but it didn't have half the blood Mortal Combat had!" Kero exclaimed putting his hands up in defense.
"No no you don't understand! This game is unbelievable! My son said you made it! Is this true?"
"Well yeah sorta-"
"Well my names' Yuchiro! Yuchiro Jinko! Pleased to meet you mister-?"
"Kero just Kero I guess...."
"Well you may not know this Mr.Kero but this game could sell for Millions! If we do country importation it could make Billions! Once I show this to my company-"
"Hold up! This sounds like a bit too much for me!"
"But its one of the best supports! I'm quite sure you have a certain lady to support?"
"I don't understand."
"There's nothing to understand Mr.Kero! You have a brilliant game! This could over rate Pokemon!"
"Please get to the point where I care."
"Please consider this Sir. Your games could make you the next Rocafeller!"
"I don't care much about money pal-"
"But does your wife? Or kids?You will have no financial worries what so ever! You could buy them anything! College, or if this is all to soo-"
"I don't have any kids."
"Then this would pay for a brilliant wedding! You know how frantic feme's are when it comes to their wedding day..."
Kero suddenly remembered the bridal magazine Sakura kept under her bed. She WOULD like a beautiful wedding when the day came wouldn't she?
"What exactly are you offering me? A job? Money?"
"All of the above Mr.Kero, you could be the new game designer of the company! We need a brilliant mind such as yours!"
Man how Sakura would be laughing her guts out if she ever heard what this guy was saying......
"A job huh? Well I guess I can't afford not to take this huh? Ok pal you got yourself a deal!"
Kero said shaking Yuchiro's hand. Yuchiro's smile practically went through the roof at that moment.
"Oh by the way Mr.Kero, you will need an agent, a lawyer, and by the chance to you have any more of these games?"
"Oh yeah tons! And don't worry about the whole agent and lawyer crap, I can get those fast-"
"And our company will supply and pay for both!"
"Really!"
"Of course! The first rule of getting an irreplaceable executive, kiss but like you're glued to it!"
Kero laughed and nodded as yuchiro handed him his card.
"Give me a call Mr. Kero! And we'll sort thing out alright?!"
Kero nodded and waved back to him. When the man was out of site Kero turned around only to be met by a pair of vicious brown eyes.
**********
"I just can't believe this Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cried as she grasped her best friend's hands.
"Me either but its true!" Sakura exclaimed happily.
"Wow! kero! Who'da thought? But poor syaoran! He must be heartbroken!"
Sakura went quiet and nodded silently as she turned her head away.
"He was, I feel so bad but there are no regrets!"
Quick to change the subject Tomoyo brought up the questions she's been dying to get answers too.
"So...........how was he!?"
"TOMOYO!"
"Oh come on! Please? I would've told you!"
"You're not me!"
"Please! I just know you're dying to tell me all about his prowess."
"TOMOYO!!!" Sakura shouted whipping her head away from her blushing furiously.
"C'mon! Good?Bad?So so?Wierd?Kinky?"
"SHUT UP!"
Tomoyo continued to bug her friend, enjoying seeing her so flushed.
"Did you tape it???"
"I'm not listening I"m not listening La La La! MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMP LITTLE LAMP LITTLE LAMP MARRY HAD A LITTLE LAMP HIS FLEECE AS WHITE AS SNOW AND EV-"
"Saaaaakuuuuurrrrrrrrraaaaaaaa!!! Tell me!" Tomoyo whined prying Sakura's hands away from her ears.
"He was great! Happy? He was fabulous!"
Tomoyo's eyes twinkled happily.
"Wow..........oh I wish I could find someone like that." She said dreamily.
Sakura laughed a little, it was nice to see Tomoyo act so different from the calm little fashion queen she was used to. A bit wierd but nice none the less.
"So whats Kero look like now?"
"Well, he's pretty tall, very tan skin, unbearably muscular, dar blond hair, big bluish black eyes, his teeth are a bit too sharp for my liking but they're sort of animalistic in a way....."
"Oh Sakura-chan....you're so lucky. He seems to love you so much! I knew there was something a bit more in that fortae."
Sakura rolled her eyes at Tomoyo's mischievious glint in her eyes. Suddenly she was over come with nausea. Sakura quickly covered her mouth and raced to her friend's bathroom.
"Sakura?"
**********
Kero groaned and shook his head to clear the cobwebs. He tried to move and get up but found he was tied tightly to a chair in a dark but furnished room.
"Damn, took you long enough."
Kero's eyes snapped open at the angry voice.
"Syaoran! What the hell do you think you're doing brat!"
Syaoran's eyes narrowed at the young man. And as if in realization opened wide.
"Kero?"
"Who the hell did ya expect brat?"
Syaoran continued to stare at him in shock.
"B-but How?"
"I wished on a shooting star and the blue fairy came." He said sarcastically.
"Don't fuck with me you stuffed doll!! How did you get human!" Syaoran shouted in his face grabbing Kero by the collar.
"Clow did this. Call it a gift."
"Undo it." he whisered deadly.
Kero blinked at began to laugh histerically like Syaoran had just told the funniest joke a live.
"Now I know you're not serious! I'm finally human! I can walk and talk when ever I feel like it! I"m free! Do you honestly think I'm going back to my crap filled life just because some brat with bite asked me to!?"
Syaoran instantly whipped out a knife and held it to Kero's throat. "You will unless you have a death wish." He spat into his face.
"I'd rather die a man than live a coward." Kero spat back.
"Pretty words, thats all they are. But nothing stays beautiful forever-"
"Yeah You're living proof." Kero said.
The knife immediately went deeper into Kero's throat causing him to gag.
"I'm not stupid little doll, I had thought you wouldn't let this go so easily."
"Why are you doing this brat?"
"Why? Because I hate you. I HATE you. I hate everything about you. Your body, memories, feelings, EVERYTHING. And I think Its time I got a little revenge don't you?"
"Revenge for what?!! I hate your guts too but you don't see me strapping you to a chair with a knife to your throat!"
Syaoran's glare deepened but he didn't say anything.
"This isn't about you hating me is it brat? It has nothing to do with that does it?Whats this really about?"
"Shut up doll."
A while of silence passed, Kero staring at Syaoran's back as he went to work on something.
"This isn't about you or me is it? This isn't about you hating me or me hating you? Its about Sakura isn't it?"
Immediately Syaoran slammed around and glared daggers at the blond male.
"SHUT UP! AND LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS!"
Kero began to laugh.
"I'm right! This is all about me getting Sakura and you getting didly isn't it!" He said laughing.
His laughes were immediately haulted as a burning fire poker was jammed through his side. Kero gasped and coughed up a little blood. He could't even scream as the pain and shock of it all over whelmed him. His concious was beginging to leave him and he welcomed the darkness. But his heaven was extremely short lived as his nose began to bleed and soon started to feel a searing pain. Kero looked up to see Syaoran cracking the knuckles of his bloody fist, only the blood wasn't his.
"I sugest you stay awake for this."
Syaoran went around to the back of Kero and shackled his hanks together. He then tied the rest of the shackle around a steel ring in the ceiling that Kero didn't notice. Kero was suddenly hauled up to the ceiling. Syaoran walked around to the front of him and untied him from the chair to let him hang from his place above. Syaoran left for a minute or two and came back with more shackles. When he bent down to shackle Kero's feet together, Kero mustered up enough strength to slam his foot into Syaoran's chin, knocking him across the room.
"Oh you're going to regret that, BIG time." He whispered deadly as he nursed his bleeding chin.
Kero laughed a little, coughing up blood. "I doubt that."
Syaoran glared at him and went to the other side of the room. He came back and set a long packet on the table to the side of Kero. The packet's tie slipped open and unveiled dozens of assortments of toture tools, saws, blades, burners, poisen, salts, ect. Kero gulped but refused to show is fear to the wolf.
"Don't worry about me, I'd be scared too." Syaoran chuckled.
Kero couldn't take the pain of speaking.
Syaoran took out a large fish hook looking blade.
"This I have to say is one of my favorites, wouldn't you say so?"
"You're insane." Kero sputtered, drawing blood from his mouth.
"Maybe so, would you like to know the could part about insanity?" He asked leaning up to whisper in Kero's ear.
"You NEVER feel pain." He whispered before jamming the front of the hook into Kero's stomach. Kero gasped and sputtered blood, but couldn't speak.
"Care to know why you can't scream."
Kero responded with coughs and gasps.
"I know all the pin and pressure points to tear through, each one is related to either the vocal cords or the lungs so while I'm doing this you won't even be able to speak you pain. Ingenious huh? My grandfather invented that little method before he died."
"Screw y-you."
"Hmph, words don't hurt me."
"D-dep-ends on w-who th-they're coming -fr-from huh?"
Another burning poker was jammed through his side with that sentence.
"You're digging your own grave doll."
"Your already in-in you-yours."
Syoaran glared then smiled as he drew a small container from the packet. He opened the top and poured it on the line where he dragged the hook, and the punctures which the pokers left.
Kero gasped and coughed in pain as he realized what it was. Salt.
"Just to keep you from bleeding to death, blood is naturally deprived of bodily salt, so once its capable of getting articficial it will soak it up like a mad frenzy, creating a protective cover, blocking blood flow. But this-" He said pouring lemon juice on the wounds "is purely for entertainment."
For the next few hours Syaoran totured Kero's body with burning pokers, hooks, blades, bad memories, anything that would cause him both physical and emotional pain. After when Syoaran went to clean a new hook looking thing Kero decided to strike. Syoaran came back over ready to toture. He lowered the blade to Kero's groin.
"So what do you say? Balls in or out?"
"Doesn't matter to me anymore."
"Hm that makes two of us." He said ready to rip and tear.
"Either way I keep Sakura." Kero whispered.
"Huh?" Syaoran instantly stopped, his blade in mid flight.
"What are you talking about doll?"
"I've had this feeling all day, no matter how I tried to over come it I just couldn't-"Kero chuckled, coughing up blood, but continued. "then I realized what it was, you, my mind kept saying I was going to lose her, have to give it up, but my heart said that I was going to keep her 'till my dying words. I just didn't listen to it-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Kero continued in his own little world as if he had never heard the angry wolf"She loves me, Sakura loves me, she told me so over and over again as we made love, over and over again. She held me, wrapped her arms around my waist. Played with my hair, kissed me, everything's perfect, will always be perfect-"
"I SAID SHUT UP!!" Syaoran screamed slicing the greath keeper of the clow's throat and ending his life.
**********
Tomoyo stood worriedly over a sick Sakura as she threw the remains of her breakfast into the sink.
"Maybe it was the icecream Sakura-chan, You don't usually have ice cream so early in the morning, maybe your stomach just didn't feel like adapting so fast?"
Sakura immediately keeled over in pain, gripping her stomach and temple.
*Ashiteru Koishii, gomen ne*
"Kero-chan? KERO! Kero matte whats going on!!??" Sakura screamed as she felt a part of herself slipping away from her, she just didn't know what.
"Sakura-chan nani?! Kero's not here!"
"Its kero!! Tomoyo-chan he's hurt! He needs me! I got to help him!" She said trying to get up.
"Sakura stop! You're going to hurt yourself!" She yelled sqeezing her friend to her to keep her from flailing about.
"LET ME GO! HE'S HURT!!" She screeched through her tears.
Not knowing what else to do and not being able to hold her any longer, Tomoyo wrapped her arm around Sakura's throat and applied a little pressure. Within minutes, Sakura's screaming and thrashing was put to an end. Grunting a little, she picked up the light girl and deposited her on her bed.
"Whats wrong Sakura?"
**********
Tomoyo had guessed that Sakura would be out for a while, mostly due to exhaustion. Laying on the bed next to her Tomoyo began to flip through the channels.
"Man there's nothing on!" She complained, suddenly something cought her eye that mad her drop the remote and cover her mouth.
"Kero?"
Reporter:"Only a few hours ago did the police find this young man dead and brutely mutilated, the one responsible has yet to be found.-"
That was all she needed to hear before turning off the t.v. and looking at Sakura's sleeping yet teary face.
"Oh god Sakura. Gomen, gomen ne!" She began to cradle her prone form in her arms and sob.
"Gods I'm so sorry Sakura-chan."
**********
The funeral had been hard. Finding out that Syaoran did it was even harder. Tomoyo was the only one who seemed to be keeping Sakura's sanity in check. After heavy raging and sobbing, Tomoyo had finally agreed to let her search for Syaoran, but only if she took her with her. Sakura had reluctanly agreed. It took two months of flying on her key to finally find the brown wolf. Meilin was with him as usual but not by his will.
Tomoyo remembered how Sakura had gotten this death look in her eye as she leaped off her key to face Syaoran. She was dressed in a black kimono and black fingerless gloves, a costume Tomoyo had designed. Syaoran was surprised that she knew and had desperately tried to lie to her, but she had surprised both Tomoyo and Syaoran when she attacked him with her fists and not her cards. Syoaran was so used to his cards doing the fight for him that it took him too long to adapt and fixate himself to fighting one on one.
Unfortunatley it didn't take Meilin that long. She immediately launched on of Syaoran's cards at her throwing Sakura far across the forest.She recovered immediately though. Sakura glared daggers at Meilin for forcing her to use her cards and not her body. Syoaran groaningly got up and whiped the blood from his lips with the aid of his cousin.
Angry tears streamed down her face as she launched Firey. Everyone but Sakura herslef gasped as they looked at fiery. It was now enormous! Furious flames washed over the surroudings and large intimidating fire wings flapped behind her. her face had distorted into a dragon looking one with blazing slitted eyes. It look livved and glared disgutedly at Syoaran as if it could feel the anger and pain in its mistress and wished to take revenge on the one responsible.
Its tail lashed about angrily and excitedly, catching fire to anything in its wake.
"Kill him!!!" Sakura screamed in pain and anger.
That was all Firey need hear. She launched herself at Syaoran but was cut off by the mirror card. It immediately changed itself into a mirror image of Firey. Firely growled at the mimik unimpressed but severly annoyed. It let a rage of fire launch through its mouth destroying the mirror card instantly. It could mimik its body but not its fury. Its eyes set on Syaoran with disgust. Meilin screamed and tried to let another card loose only to be smacked away my Firey's wing.
It immediately launched itself at Syaoran, wanting the thing that had caused its mistress so much pain to be DEAD! Pawing and clawing at his dodging for like a cat would an annoying bug it finnaly managed to slash its back. He screamed in pain. Just as Firey was about to go in for the kill it hear its misstress call it back.
"Stop! Return to your place confined!" She shouted.
Firey thrashed its long neck refusing to leave its mistress to be hurt anymore.
"This is mine not yours!" She yelled pleadingly to it.
Firey stopped thrashing and stepped aside yet did not leave.
Sakura walked over to Syaoran's bleeding form as he supported himself on his hand and elbow.
"I hate you Li Syaoran. I loved Kero not you."
She watched him flinch and his fists clench.
"Its judgement day you bastard." She whispered before registuring the killing blow to the temple with her key.
She stared at his prone form and dropped the key to the ground as she collapsed to her kneese. The firey dragon nuzzled her neck and licked away her tears, her flames turning holographic so as not to hurt her mistress.
Tomoyo raced over to Sakura and wrapped her arms around her as she sobbed into her chest. It began to rain, it seemed the angel were crying with her.
**********
"PUSH SAKURA!!!!" The Docter screamed to her.
"C'mon Sakura-chan you can do it!" Tomoyo yelled holding her hand gritting as she crushed it.
"SHUT UP!" Sakura screamed to them crushing Tomoyo's hand.
"Aaaaghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"
AAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"There! You did it!"
Screams filled the air but they were not Sakura's or Tomoyo's.
"Its a beautiful baby boy ladies." The doctor smiled.
Tomoyo gratefully took the baby from his arms and into hers once a blue blanket was tightly wrapped around it. The baby continued to scream.
"Sakura look." Tomoyo whispered.
She looked exhaustedly to her baby as they're eyes met.
"oh let me hold him." Sakura exclaimed.
Tomoyo nodded and handed the baby to his mother, only then did he stop crying. Sakura examined her baby's features. Bronze skin, dark blond hair, and emerald eyes that mimiked her own.
"He's beautiful."
"Whatchya gonna call him?"
"Hmm how about Sakero(Sa-Kee-Ro)?"
"Sakero? Sounds nice. I think he'll like it."
"Yeah, me too."
