The Pretty Card
Chapter 3: The Face That Astounded Them All
A white figure floated through the night. "It's the Kinomoto house," it whispered to itself in its melodic voice. "What will Sakura's world be like when I come in?"
The Next Morning
Sakura woke up to a shiny-eyed Kero staring at her face.
"Kero, what's wrong?"
"She's even more beautiful when she's awake. Those beautiful eyes," Kero mumbled dreamily. He finally heard her voice. "She speaks! Such a sweet voice!"
"Huh? Kero, I'll be right back. I gotta change - somewhere else, alright?" Sakura called as she waltzed out of the room.
Later on, Sakura was getting her books together when Touya came up the stairs holding a tray. Kero immediately froze and began to act like a teddy bear, as Touya did not know he even existed. "Squirt, Dad's making me bring you breakfast so here" he reached her room, took one look at her face, and dropped the tray. "- It is."
"Touya?" Sakura asked uncertainly. Why was everyone acting so weird? "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, I was just stunned by your beautiful face," was all Touya could manage. "WHAT? I look the same as I do every other day. And why are you commenting? You're my older brother!" Sakura exclaimed with a raised eyebrow. "Eew!"
"Today just seems so special," Touya said, dazed.
"That's enough," Sakura shrieked. "What is wrong with you people?! I am getting away from here!" She grabbed her knapsack and pushed past Touya. Kero stopped acting like a teddy bear and flew after Sakura. "NOOOOOOOOO!" Don't leave me all alone! At least leave me your picture or something!"
In response, Sakura slammed the door in Kero's face. Being the delicate creature that he is, Kero broke down and cried.
