Vurso: We've said it before, and we'll say it again.
Firethroat: We don't own Card Captor Sakura.
Me: Although if we did, then we wouldn't have butchered it like Clamp did.
Vurso: Lousy good for nothing… *Continues muttering bad things about Clamp. *
Me: Now that this is all over, sorry for taking so long with this chapter. Oh, and just to let you know, my theory is that dragons are a lot like cats. You pet them, they purr. You pick them up by the scruff of the neck, they curl up into a ball. That sort of thing.
Vurso: We aren't like cats one bit!
Me: *Rubs Firethroat behind the horns. *
Firethroat: *Starts purring like crazy. *
Vurso: -_-' Point taken…
Me: The reason I mentioned it is that Touya and Sakura will act somewhat like cats in this fic, and I wanted the readers to know why.
Firethroat: Please review after you read the story. And that's my cue to say, on with the fic!
Vurso: YOU STOLE MY LINE AGAIN! *Chases Firethroat around the room, throwing objects at him. *
Me: *Sighs and starts typing, ducking as things come close to hitting me. *
*********************
A slanting beam of sunlight shone into the young Sorceress's room, and gently warmed her face. She yawned, showing off an impressive set of teeth, and wriggled a little further under the covers.
"Sakura, time to get up." Kero said, perching on one of her ears. He noticed, now that it was light, that Sakura had bright green scales, exactly the color of her eyes.
"Kero, leave me alone, it's Saturday…" Sakura mumbled without opening her eyes. She flicked the ear Kero was sitting on, almost sending him flying across the room.
"Careful there, Sakura." Kero told her, getting a better grip on the smooth scales. "You almost threw me across the room."
"That was the idea." She said with another yawn. Kero sweatdropped.
*How do I get someone that's part dragon out of bed without getting roasted? * Kero asked himself. He decided he'd better go ask Touya.
He flew out of the room and downstairs, where Touya was making breakfast. "Hey, Touya. I gotta question for ya." Kero said, hovering in front of him.
"If it's about breakfast, no, it isn't done yet." Touya said with a small chuckle.
"It's not that." Kero replied. "Sakura's still in her half and half form, and I need to know how to get her up without getting burnt to a cinder."
"Easy. We're just like a cat in that respect. Just change to your real form, and pick her up by the nape of the neck. It won't hurt her." Kero sweatdropped again.
"How does that keep her from burning me to a cinder?"
"How can she use her firebreath on you if she's facing away?" Touya asked, laughing.
Kero sighed and flew back upstairs. He landed on the floor of Sakura's room, and transformed to Cerberus. He hesitantly jumped up on Sakura's bed, and used his paw to move the covers. Sakura growled lightly, but that was it.
He gently grabbed the loose skin at the back of her neck in his mouth, and slowly backed off the bed, dragging Sakura behind him. To his surprise, she didn't protest. In fact, once they were both on the floor, she curled up into a ball, so that he could lift her off of the ground, much like a kitten when it's mother picks it up. Even so, his neck was aching by the time he got her downstairs.
*How do mother cats DO this? * Cerberus asked himself as he dropped Sakura on the floor. That woke her up, finally.
After glaring at Cerberus for a few seconds, she stood up and proceeded to change back to human. Basically, her wings, tail, scales, and claws somewhat melted into her. Cerberus found it fascinating, and maybe a little gross. It only took a couple seconds, though, so he didn't have to watch it long.
"Hungry?" Sakura asked him with her old grin, although her Sun Guardian could still see the sadness in her green eyes.
"Am I ever not hungry?" He asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Good point." She said with a laugh. Cerberus smiled. At least she was happier now, somewhat.
After breakfast, Sakura got dressed, and sat down in the front hall as she put on her roller blades. She finished, and stood up, waiting for Kero to take his usual perch on her shoulder.
Once Kero had gotten a good grip, Sakura skated outside, down the sidewalk, and on down the street.
"Hey, Sakura, where are we going?" Kero asked in her ear, being careful to keep his voice down.
"Tomoyo's." Sakura replied. "She said she wanted to film me some more, and she said that she even had some leftover cake in the fridge for you, Kero."
"Yay, cake!" Kero cheered, making a couple of passerby stare. They quickly dismissed it as a figment of their imagination, as Sakura skated leisurely past.
Kero groaned when Tomoyo opened the door of her mansion, as she already had her camera, and an evil look on her face.
"Sakura! Kero! Just the two I wanted to see!" Kero was seriously considering whether cake was worth staying while Tomoyo had that look on her face, but he didn't get to leave, as the young ebony haired girl grabbed his tail and dragged him and Sakura after her.
"Oh, and Sakura, if you could get Yue to come, I have the perfect matching outfits for all three of you to wear!" Tomoyo said happily. Kero was starting to get afraid at this point.
"Okay Tomoyo1" Sakura said cheerfully. She closed her eyes and concentrated for a few seconds, then opened them again. "He's coming."
"Okay!" The way too cheerful look on Tomoyo's face was now beyond scary to Kero. It was terrifying!
"So, Sakura, I heard you and Syaoran broke up." Sakura's face fell, and she slowly nodded.
Tomoyo smiled and patted her best friend on the shoulder. "Don't worry. If he can't accept you for who you are, then he's not worth it."
"I know…" Sakura whispered. "But it still hurts."
"Time will mend your wounds. Don't worry." Tomoyo answered.
"Ahem." The three of them turned to see Yue hovering in front of the window. Tomoyo let him in, and he landed, still with his disdainful look. "Why did you call me?"
"I have outfits for all three of you!" Tomoyo told him, way too cheerfully. Yue, Sakura, and Kero all sweatdropped. This was not going to be pretty.
***
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Everyone within a few miles looked up at the sound of two creatures being brutally tortured.
***
Yue and Cerberus look at Tomoyo and Sakura, both with absolutely miserable looks on their faces.
"Come on, you two, it's not that bad." Sakura said, trying to not laugh.
"You're a girl. Therefore, it's not as bad for you." Cerberus growled.
"It's not that bad!" Tomoyo and Sakura said at the same time.
"I'M WEARING A PINK TUTU! DON'T TELL ME IT'S NOT THAT BAD!" Yue shouted. Sakura couldn't take it anymore, and cracked up.
"It's not funny!" Cerberus said indignantly.
"Yes it is!" She gasped out, barely able to talk because she was laughing so hard.
Cerberus and Yue both sweatdropped.
***
After apologizing to both guardians, and fixing an extra large cake for Kero, Tomoyo just concentrated on filming Sakura for the rest of the day, and thinking up kawaii outfits to make for her later.
Yue was just about to fly off, when a though struck him. He turned around and said nervously, "Tomoyo?"
"Yes, Yue?"
"Could I borrow one of those tutus?"
"Sure!" She handed him one, wondering what he wanted it for. With a tiny, evil grin, he flew off.
Sakura and Tomoyo found out on Monday, when Syaoran come to school wearing a bright pink, frilly, tutu.
*********************
Me: I couldn't resist… please don't kill me for that part…
Firethroat & Vurso: *Still fighting. *
Me: *Evil grin. * I bet I can get them to stop… *Snaps my fingers, and both of them are suddenly in tutus. *
Both: *Look at me in horror. *
Me: *Smiles innocently. * When you two learn to get along, the tutus will go away. And you won't be able to get them off any other way. Even a nuclear holocaust won't get them off.
Both: *Stunned. *
Me: *Laughing. * Please review!
