"Kero you cheated. I was definitely going to win." Said Sakura poking Kero in the chest and retreated up stairs, smeared with cake and pie. Kero laughed from behind and said, "Well it just so happens that I'm the master of pie eating contests."

"You wish." Sakura licked her lips and went into the bathroom to clean herself off. "I'll be out in a sec Kero." Kero removed his white long sleeve shirt off in Sakura's room and took a towel and wiped his face off. Then his pants. At that he threw his shirt in the hamper and flopped onto Sakura's comfy bed. "Ah, it feels so good, being a kid. More food and I get to feel a warm cozy bed." He closed his eyes and smiled to himself.

You know being a human isn't so bad after all. What harm is it going to do? I mean I'm still the guardian beast, but as a boy. And I still can unleash my amazing powers. Can I?

"My, my, my. Kero did I ever tell you, you look good without your shirt on." Teased Sakura. Kero's eyes flew open and saw Sakura staring at him from bedside. She gave him a stifle laugh and threw a pillow at his face. Kero sat up.

"Glad you noticed."

"Oh please, like I really ment that you looked good." Said Sakura. She began putting her hair up in a pony tail as she did, Kero said, "Hey, Sakura?"

"What?"

"You know I look good. You just don't want to admit." Sakura smirked and in the mirror she looked at Kero.

"Please, I have other things to worry about." Sakura fixed her hair and turned to Kero. She kept a cool look on her face but deep down inside she knew she was getting butterflies in her stomach. Kero was almost certainly right, though. No one had ever smiled like that to her the way he did back in the kitchen. He never gave her his smooth looks before and plus he seemed so cautious about sleeping in the same room with her. At that Sakura did think he looked unique, but seemed to feel something for him.

Kero acted the same way as he did before, but now he acted somewhat different and gave Sakura a different impression. Sakura couldn't really see that behind the small looking stuff toy feature. And then she even turns red when her friends mention Kero. She never did that to no body else besides Li, but now Kero….

"Sakura, what are you staring at?" Sakura shook her head and blushed. "Oh, nothing." I'm doing it again, she thought. Kero got up off her bed. "I think I hear your dad in the drive way. I should hide."

"Yeah, you better do that." Sakura was ready to pull of her shirt, to change into her nightgown, but forgot that Kero was still there. She put her hands down. "You know what? I should go change in the bathroom."

"I agree." Said Kero noticing her blemish and grinning.

Next Day

"You and Kero had a pie eating contest? That's funny. Want to have one now?" asked Li, appearing at the mess in the kitchen from last night. Sakura laughed vaguely. "Again? I'm still stuffed. And besides my dad is gonna go crazy once he sees this kitchen."

"Don't your dad get off at work at 8? I mean we have time, right?" Li unexpectedly squirted whip cream on Sakura, she jumped and gave Li and stunned look. "You little…." Li hurled some cherries at her and Sakura began to chase him around the kitchen. Both laughing hysterically. They did'nt notice that Kero was standing right in the kitchen, standing there with a smirk on his face.

"See when I'm not home, they full around all ready." Sakura and Li stopped throwing pastries at each other and both blushed in embarrassment. "Kero, we did'nt see you there."

"I know. Sneaky am I?" Kero looked around the mess. "Yummy, left overs." Sakura got in front of him, before he could dig in. "Whoa, hold on a sec. don't you have homework?"

"Homework? Aww, geeze! Homework already?"

"We'll help you." Offered Li. "Besides Math is my specialty."

"Well, I really don't need your help. I mean you and Eriol especially did'nt help me today. Say like changing me back to my true form, huh?"

"Kero, we're sorry, but it takes time."

"No need to apologize, I'm liking this life already." Kero pushed past Sakura and began licking the counters that was heaving with cream and icing. "You guys don't know what you're missing." Sakura crossed her arms and asked, "Where were you anyway? Its past," Sakura looked at her watch. "3:00. Have you noticed or were you so wrapped up into Tomoyo all day, you couldn't look at the time." Kero glanced up at Sakura. "Sakura seriously. You think I would be hanging out with HER all day?"

"Well, from where I see it, yes."

"Well your right." Kero spoke hastily. "I mean so what if I did. It's not like I have a thing for her or something. I was only practicing for our concert tonight." Li and Sakura gave Kero a firm look.

"Guys your exaggerating. Me, Kero does not like Tomoyo. She's a beauty and all, but she's definitely not my type."

"Yeah sure Kero." Said Li.

That same day, but night

"Look what Eriol gave me today." Said Tomoyo, she took out three white roses and a card. Both scented with the smell of flowers. "He gave me this for winning the talent search yesterday." She beamed with delight. "Kero, now is that not so cute or what?"

"Tomoyo the guy likes you. Can't you see it?" said Kero. "And besides, roses are always a main attraction to get a girl. That's what they say, I say you get a girls heart by being yourself."

"But, Kero he is himself. Poetry, art and flowers what are you talking…"

"Listen Tomoyo, what I'm trying to say is that, that kind of stuff is boring. I mean where's the real prize at? Girls wanna have some fun. She wants skate boarding around the park, junk food, parties and video games." Tomoyo covered her mouth trying not to laugh. "Kero you're so funny but that's what I like about you."

"I know, am I."

"But as I was saying that's how Eriol is. He's more like a charmer sort of speak. You know I like that in a man." The school bus began to move. "And Kero, what would you give a girl, if she won a contest or something?" Kero raised an eyebrow. "Hmmm…um maybe invite her out to pizza, give her a kiss and…" Kero stopped and couldn't believe what he just said. "Did I just say what I think I said?"

"Kero oh my goodness. Your mind is turning…13!" squealed Tomoyo, not too loud though. "A kiss? Kero way romantic I mean your totally changing. I thought you hated all the kind of nonsense."

"I do. Maybe it's just…. Nah forget it. Anyways yeah maybe a kiss would do the trick. Not saying I would do it, but the guy who's trying to get the girl would."

"Me and Eriol are just friends."

"And Li and Sakura are JUST friends too. Give me a break. You guys can't fool me."

"You know Kero, you would be my perfect date if you would calm down."

"Hey, I'm just telling you the facts Tomoyo."

"I believe you Kero." She sighed and rested her head on the top of her seat. "Are you scared? Of our music concert tonight?"

"Me, no way." Said Kero.

"But it's only your third day here?"

"Tomoyo, believe me, I'm not scared."

"That's what I like about you. You have no worries." Said Tomoyo in an attracted tone.
