Chapter 5- Kero, where are you?

The sun rose over the horizon revealing a beautiful Thursday but the atmosphere in Sakura's room was tense and unpleasant added into loneliness.

***********

Sakura skidded down the stairs to see her brother preparing breakfast.

"Oops. I forgot that I was to help you with breakfast today. So sorry Tori."

Her brother just glanced at her and stuck up a finger. [A.N. Not the middle one. A pointer]

"Oh alright. I'll do your dinner duties."

As she ate her breakfast, Sakura started muttering quietly to herself.

"Kero, where are you? Why did you do that? You know it was naughty. Why? Why? Why?"

"Squirt, I'm leaving."

"What!!?!! I'm late."

****************

[At break]

"Sakura, you're glummer than Li on Monday."

"Yeah. I guess so."

What happened?"

Sakura started explaining the whole story. "And he ran a- I mean flew away."

"Oh poor you. I wonder where Kero is now?"

Madison sighed. She rarely saw Sakura so sad. 'I guess the change really hit her' thought Madison.

"Sakura why-"Madison turned around to find an invisible Sakura. Sakura had walked away.

"Oh brother."

*************

Sakura walked past many students and finally arrived next to Li.

"Li. I'm really sorry about what happened. I didn't imagine Kero would do such a thing. I'm sure he'll come to say sorry sooner or later."

"Why not now?"

"He flew away."

"Good for him!"

"Li!!!! He's my friend, just like you are."

Li could see the agony in her face so he willingly bent down and gave Sakura a small peck on her cheek. Sakura blushed and Li grew to a red-hot turnip.

"I'm sorry Sakura."

Sakura giggled. "It's okay."

**************

[After school]

"Sakura what happened? You're much happier now," asked Madison on their way home while eating chocolate cupcakes.

"Um. Nothing much."

For the rest of their walk, they stayed quiet until...

"So what are you going to do about Kero?"

"Nothing," answered Sakura flatly.

****************

[On a tree nearby]

"Ugh. I have to sit here watching those two girls eat cake when I missed out on dinner, breakfast and lunch. Not fair," growled an angry Kero. "Well, it is my fault but I'll just fly back to Sakura's place and she'll have to accept me. I never lose."

****************

[At Sakura's home]

"Well I guess I did do something," said Sakura as she prepared for bed. "Goodnight nobody."

"I'm finally here. The Avalon residence. Now for Sakura's window."

When Kero arrived at Sakura's window, he got a dramatic shock. Not only were the window and curtain closed but there was also a note stuck to the window. It read:

'If you want to enter, give an apology to Li. He has pudding ready for you only if you apologise.'

"Oh man. I hate this."

Author's Note: Hi. I'm back again. I hope you liked it. Next chapter- a fight between Kero and Li. Please R+R. I'm not forcing you to.
