"I decided that um, I should try to go back to my true form." Stammered out Kero to Yue. "Can you help me? And why can't I use the cards to try to change me?"
"Well…this substance you have swallowed must have some kind of weird powers. But I'm sure that me and others will try to find a way Kero. Oh and I see your having girl troubles, is that true?" Kero blushed.
"Girl troubles? Nah, not me. Not your fun loving Kero…" Yue grinned. "Fun and loving. That's the key terms to attract females." Kero's face brightened more. Yue gave off a stifle laugh and said, "Kero do you really want to go change back to your real form already?"
"It was so hard to decide, but give me a week or so. By that time you probably find the cure."
"Its not that easy Kero."
"I know. Li and Eriol couldn't figure it out either. But I just feel that being a boy is tough. Especially when your feelings go out from your control."
"You mean, Sakura and Tomoyo?" Kero blushed some more. "Quit mentioning those two will ya?"
"I only mentioned them once in our whole conversation. Hmmm….you must've been mentioning their names in your own head."
"Hey!"
Ice Cream Polar
"I would like to have two hot fudge Sundays with cherries, pineapples and some extra whip cream please." Li took out some money, while Sakura looked around the small restaurant. She finally sat at a stool near by.
All I need to do is hang with Li for a while. But then Meilin. Gosh I forgot about her. Hmm….I wonder whats Kero doing right now? There you go Sakura, thinking about him again. But I hope his feelings weren't hurt. After all I did leave the house out of the blue.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" asked Li. Sakura was interrupted out of her thoughts. "Oh nothing."
"Whats up with Kero?"
"Kero? Oh him, Why ask about him?"
"Well last night he was acting mighty strange. He was all mad, and I was all confused."
"Well, maybe he wants to be himself again."
"I never thought of that." Sakura heard the entrance of the shop door swing open and there stood Tomoyo. Sakura smiled.
Tell Tomoyo it's all right to like Kero.
Sakura got up from her stool and headed over to Tomoyo who was startled to see her. "Sakura…"
"Tomoyo, you've come just in time." She dragged her friend to where they were sitting at. "Why did I come just in time?" asked Tomoyo.
"Because I have a very important thing to tell you." Said Sakura. Then she eyed Li and looked at her friend. "Girls only."
"Well can't this wait?" Tomoyo spotted Li behind Sakura, she waved. "Hi Li."
"Hi Tomoyo."
"So…what have you been up too?"
"Well I've been cleaning and well my cousin Meilin is visiting for Spring break..." Tomoyo nodded and then turned her attention to Sakura. "What?"
"Um….I forgot what I was gonna say."
"Well…let's order some dessert shall we."
"We've already ordered." Said Sakura suddenly.
"Oh." Said Tomoyo. "Have any of you seen….Kero…lately?" Li and Sakura exchanged glances.
"Yesterday, Kero was acting mighty weird. I offer to help him and he acts like a jerk." Spoke Li. Sakura hesitated, but then said. "He came home and went straight to sleep, he must have had a pretty hard day….with you."
"Well I never saw him in music class yesterday."
Sakura this is your chance! Thought Sakura to herself.
"Well, I'm sure Kero…Likes…I mean is still friends with you…"
"Huh? We are friends. We never fought…"
"Well what if he wants to be normal again." Cut in Li. "He's having it rough at school. I've seen him."
Tomoyo frowned. "Well maybe I just need to give him some space…"
"NO!" argued Sakura in an outburst. Li and Tomoyo looked at her baffled. Sakura blushed. "I meant no…I mean Tomoyo be with him." Li looked at Sakura strange. "Sakura what are you getting at?"
"Tomoyo he needs you. He wants you. You're his…friend." Sakura stared at Tomoyo, who was slowly growing emotional. "Kero needs you to talk too." Li tapped her on the shoulder. "B-but Sakura Kero has YOU to confide with…like I said what are you getting at?"
"Li! Do you have to ruin the moment." Snapped Sakura. "Sheesh, Okay Tomoyo are you listening?" Tomoyo slowly nodded but then asked, "But you and Kero are close, why can't you be there for him…"
"Because…." Began Sakura. "Um…because…."
"Cause what?"
"Nothing. Look I've been there for him and he needs a new someone to talk to. Okay?" Tomoyo shrugged but then crossed her arms and thought,
He loves you….Sakura what are you trying to do?
"Hey Eriol." Li motioned Eriol who just walked in. Eriol spotted Tomoyo and stopped.
Sakura was still busy trying to get Tomoyo into Kero. But Tomoyo reacted.
"Oh Sakura, but you and Kero were ment for each other. You two are so close."
"Huh?"
"Please don't feel sorry for me just because I'm lonely now a days."
"No I'm not, I want you and Kero to be happy."
"But he doesn't want to be with me…" Li got in between the girls. "Quit fighting."
"We are not fighting, we were simply debating something." Said Sakura.
"Hi." Said Eriol. "Haven't seen you 3 in a while…"
"Eriol." Tomoyo said lowly. Then she looked at Sakura and then she walked away. Everyone was confused.
"Huh? What have I done?" asked Eriol to himself. Li and Sakura exchanged glances. They shrugged. Eriol looked at them. "So how's Kero?"
"Fine." Said Sakura.
"Well not to me. He's hopeless." Said Li. He finally noticed that him and Sakura's ice cream arrived. It was melting gradually. "Our ice-cream!" Sakura saw and moaned. "Oh sheesh I was busy yapping and trying to convince Tomoyo to like Kero, that I totally forgot my sundae." Eriol glared at Sakura. And Li raised an eyebrow.
"Have my ears deceived me or I just heard that you Sakura are trying to make Tomoyo like Kero." Said Li. Sakura gaped.
"No, No, No I did not say that. I said…uh..I said…" Sakura was now in trouble. She looked at her friends uneasily.
I'm in trouble. She thought.
"Are you saying that Tomoyo likes Kero?' asked Eriol. He was in shock.
"So that's what you were talking about…" said Li. "So why?"
"Okay! I give up! I need Tomoyo to like Kero, cause she likes him, but thinks he likes me, making me uncomfortable and I need her to fill my place!"
"Wow." Eriol did'nt dear to talk. He just turned his gaze to Tomoyo who was at a different table.
Li said, "I can't believe Tomoyo has a thing on Kero."
"Whats wrong Eriol?" asked Sakura.
"Nothing."
Home
"Kero, I'm home and I spilled everything!" Sakura shut the door and untied her shoes miserably. "Its out and I'm guilty." She heard footsteps and then more.
"Touya, dad…." Yue and Kero came up to Sakura. She saw Kero and suddenly blushed. She set her shoes down and stood up. "Yue, Kero…whats going on?"
"Nothing, I came to talk with Kero. About everything."
"When you mean everything, do you mean EVERYTHINHG?" asked Sakura.
Yue shook his head no. Kero hesitated and looked at his friend. "Only the important stuff."
"Good. I'll be going now. I need a bath…" She started to leave, when Kero stopped her. "Sakura what do you mean you spilled everything?" Sakura hesitated frantically. "Um…I…"
"Come on spill it Sakura, you don't have to hide nothing from me."
"Alright." She sighed. "I told Li and Eriol about Tomoyo's crush on you. But it was an accident! I was caught in the moment." Kero sighed in relief. "That's it? Oh I thought it was something important."
"Your not mad?"
"No but now Eriol is going to be on my case. Poor guy, when he heard you he must have been heart broken. Sakura you messed up big time."
"I know, I know, what do I do now. Yue what do I do?"
"Do Tomoyo really likes Kero?" Before Sakura could speak Kero cut in.
"Wait a minute Sakura, did Tomoyo say she had a thing on me?" Sakura gulped.
"No…I just assumed. I mean she looks like she likes you." Kero eyed her suspiciously. "Yeah right, you saw the incident did'nt you. I knew you were hiding something." Yue got confused. "Hiding what. What incident?"
"I give up! Kero you caught me. I'll tell everything. The other day I saw you and Tomoyo on the bleachers, I sort of got jealous, and when I saw her kiss you I got even more jealous. And I was so mad, but scared to loose you. I'm sorry Kero for not saying anything. And then I saw how Tomoyo likes you and all, so I decided your better off with her."
"I see, well Sakura…" Kero saw that Yue was standing there and he said, "Um we'll be back. I need to talk to her in private." Kero grabbed Sakura's hand and lead her to her bedroom. Once they reached it he began to talk.
"Sakura I don't like Tomoyo anymore." He reasoned.
"Anymore?"
"Look I did started to get attracted to her once we began music class together, but I lost all feelings to her. And I don't want to like her! And I'm saying Like, I hate that word. Anyway I don't want to like anybody. Again with the Likes, sheesh."
"And t-the part that-that I'm jealous…"
"Oh that part, Um, well why?"
Sakura blushed instantly. "Nothing, I'm so sorry for all of this. The truth is that I-I-I…"
"I what?" Kero stared at her.
"Well lets erase everything from are minds. I made a big mistake to try to convince Tomoyo to like you."
"For sure."
"And for being jealous, in a friendly way that is…"
"Yup."
"And I want all this lovey dovey stuff erased from are minds and to the mission to get you back to your true form." Kero grinned. "Great."
Sakura grinned back and was ready to leave, when Kero took her hand. She turned around and narrowed her eyes to where he held her hand. "Sakura its okay." He said softly. She gave him a questionable look. "Huh?"
"I like you too." And at that he let go of her hand and walked out leaving her dazed.
To Be Countinued….
What do you think gonna happen?
