It was a fair windy evening; Sakura was at cheerleading practice after school that Monday. She was chosen as team captain, after their original captain called out sick. But she was not in the mood and caused confusion and jumbled up a lot of moves that they were performing. Tomoyo, who was on the bleachers near by, filming it, knew something was wrong.
"Sakura! Hang in there!" she called. Sakura looked up at her friend and smiled. "I'm fine!"
"Are you okay? All day in school you said nothing!" shouted Tomoyo. Sakura lowered her head slightly. "I know, I was thinking."
"Sakura, girl come on." Said Rika nudging her friend's shoulder. "We have to keep up the pace." Sakura looked up. "Sorry."
"You okay?"
"Yeah, fine."
Tomoyo frowned at the sight of her friend at the field. What is with her? She shook her head and sat back down. Then before she could begin to film, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up startled and grinned warmly. "Kero." Kero sat down next to her. "Hi, having seen you in a while."
"Me neither." Said Tomoyo. Kero looked over down toward the field and saw the cheerleaders doing flips and cartwheels. He spotted Sakura and he lit up and as soon as Sakura looked his way he immediately waved. Sakura shyly cracked a small smile and waved back.
"Sakura looks awesome in her cheerleading attire." Spoke Tomoyo kindly. "Hmmmm…you know that girl has been acting strange all day. Have you noticed?" Kero glanced at Tomoyo. "No." Tomoyo shrugged it off. "Have you seen Eriol around lately?" Kero shook his head no.
"He's been ignoring me lately. I haven't seen him all weekend." Tomoyo rested her elbows on her knees and sat her chin down on the palms of her hands. "Do you think he doesn't like me no more? He avoided me all day." Kero kept his gaze on Tomoyo; it was hard to see the expression on her face, since the winds were blowing her long black hair in her face. But he knew she was sad.
"You should have told him how you felt sooner. Then he wouldn't be ignoring you like this."
"I know, I was too scared, but why ignore me?" Kero looked back at the girls on the field. "I don't know." Tomoyo then said, "Kero?"
"What?"
"I have something really weird to tell you. I know this might sound crazy but…." Tomoyo sat up straight. "Mrs. Keno thinks where like…." She laughs a little and moves a strand of hair off her face. "You and me…. That we have crushes on each other, since we spend so much time together." Tomoyo laughed lightly.
"That's what she said to me too." Said Kero unsurely.
"Isn't it crazy?" said Tomoyo. Kero grinned to himself. "Do YOU have a crush on me Tomoyo?" She looked up in shock. "No! No way. I do not like you. I do, but not mushy type!"
"You're lying. You like me. I can see it in your eyes." Kero was smirking a mile a minute. Tomoyo grew red and stood up on the bleachers almost dropping her camera. "Kero obviously YOU like ME!" Kero stood up.
"No way, YOU like ME!" he said. Tomoyo eyes grew wider. Kero laughed and pointed at Tomoyo. "Tomoyo you have a crush on me. I can't believe this."
As the two confronted each other, Sakura caught the scene and frowned more. Then continued to cheer.
Tomoyo was already getting off the bleachers, but Kero stopped her by taking her arm. "What is so wrong for having a crush on me?" Tomoyo looked at him devastated. "It's not right, I don't know! Leave me alone!" Kero groaned in frustration. "I'm still your friend right?"
"I can't love you. Your not human…"
"I'm human now." Tomoyo looked over at Sakura. "I don't want to hurt Sakura's feelings. And its just a silly crush anyway Kero…."
"Sakura and Me? No way. Sakura has her eyes set on Li." Said Kero. Tomoyo shook her head. "I see the way you look at her. You love her and you know it. And I like you, but…" Tomoyo felt tears stinging her eyes. "How could I meet a perfect boy like you ever again? Huh?" She stepped forward and pecked Kero on the lips. Kero let go of her arm and let his fingers touched his lips. He was stunned.
He was kissed. His first and he just stood there as Tomoyo walked away quickly. Kero searched around hoping that no one saw it, especially Sakura. The one girl he had some kind of crush on. Well a little one. Well a big one He saw the Cheerleaders playing around, but no Sakura. He gasped. Did she see? Oh great Kero you gotten yourself in trouble again!
