E-mail me at yonsukmont@cs.com. Hahahaha... Just to let you know (and to babble more, too...), I put "a.k.a. yangwibi27," because I prefer that name much more than I do with "blue_tuna27." I put "blue_tuna27," so nobody would say, "Did blue_tuna27 retire?" Yeah... hahahahaha... *rubs back of head* That kinda' thing... Oh, and one more thing... I babble this much because all of the good authors put a lot to their author's notes. Hehehehe... My disguise... Okay...

~*~ Dream Stuck ~*~
~*~ Chapter 4 ~*~
Syaoran led Kero and Sakura to the boy's locker room, blushing a deeper shade of red at each and every step. He wondered if he'd be fried to crisp if this keeps on happening. The blushing is what he could not fight with, it just leads him to think more intense of blushable things whenever he turns red. His whole body is wet with sweat underneath his clothes. He couldn't believe the real Sakura is here. This is too much of a dream...
When they arrived the locker room, Syaoran took out extra clothes from his locker and gave them to Sakura and Kero. They went to three different spots to change. Kero easily slipped off his uniform and put on the school's swimming shorts, but he had trouble with putting on the swimming top.
"A-Ano, Gak... Syaoran? How do you put this thing on? It's weird... The material... is just weird... How c-can you put these things on?" Kero asked as he walked to the already ready Syaoran. Syaoran was staring at Sakura with bulging eyes as if he couldn't believe what he's seeing. Kero patted Syaoran's shoulder, then shook Syaoran's shoulders when he didn't respond. "Hey... Syaoran...? Syaoran?" Kero then waved his hand in front of Syaoran's face. He stopped after a few seconds and looked at where Syaoran was looking. The line of site reached the already ready Sakura. Kero had to admit, for Syaoran it would be a surprise seeing Sakura just now, once in six long years. Seeing Sakura turning out to be more beautiful than she was when he saw her last, is remarkable to him. She's now more of a lady, a grown lady... Now that Kero is thinking about it, his nose twitched and realized that he's staring at Sakura like a big dope for a long period of time, like Syaoran was.
Sakura blushed when she finally noticed them staring at her. Her given clothes were fit, though they may be a bit big for her, they looked perfect on her. Sakura's slim, feminine body wasn't shown at all, somehow, so it was alright for her. She then giggled at Kero, because instead of his shirt being on him, the shirt is on his head. Syaoran turned his head abruptly to Kero and twisted his face to a scowling one.
"Nani?! That plush toy?! You're THAT THING?!" Syaoran asked with a vehement tone, pointing a finger at Kero. He just realized that this good looking guy, "Kero" is right behind him. He forgot all about Sakura mentioning Kero, without realizing that this Kero guy is actually the plush toy/supposedly, guardian beast in Tomoeda, Japan.
Kero rubbed back of his head, knowing that this human form might be exotic to Syaoran, even the Syaoran in the dream world. Before anger reached to his mind, Sakura started whipping her hair out of her face, making her even more attractive, and put it all into a swimming cap, that she found laying in Syaoran's extra clothes that he gave her. She then put on funny looking swimming goggles and now looked like a whole different person.
"That conversation can wait! We need to hurry to class!" Sakura said with panic.
They followed Sakura out of the boy's locker room to the hallway of the gym building. Syaoran and Kero stopped midway when Sakura stopped in front of them.
"Hoe! I forgot to ask! A-Ano... How do I look?" Sakura asked with anxiety.
Syaoran and Kero looked at each other and looked back at Sakura, up and down with blushed faces. Kero then ruined the moment when he laughed full-heartedly. Syaoran just stood there scratching the back of his head.
"Sakura-chan... You actually look really funny! Ahahahaha!" Kero said in between laughs.
Sakura smiled and replied, "Good! I wanted to look like a guy, because I don't want any commotion over why I'm wearing this as a girl. I think it's more comfortable, really, hahahaha..."
Syaoran and Kero sweat-dropped and thought the same thing. Sakura does look like she could go for a guy with no manliness. Yet she's more like a pretty boy that looked like he was in the Olympics. The voice is the only problem.
"Just don't talk too much," Syaoran said as he scratched the back of his head.
They all nodded in unison and opened the wide doors to the indoor swimming pool.
"Ah, there you guys are... I knew we had three more people. We were just ready to go over the attendance," a tall lady, with curling brown hair, walked to them with a wicked grin. Sakura suspected that she is the teacher by the whistle around her neck and the clipboard she's carrying around with her. She spoke Japanese fluently. Kero and Sakura were surprised at that. "You guys are ten minutes tardy! I should let you guys get away with it, since you're new and it seems hard to get around here. As for you, Syaoran... This is your first..."
"I know, Mrs. Khuan..." Syaoran bent his head down and started to walk off to his usual assigned spot.
"Mat...!" Sakura was about to say, but Kero put a hand over her mouth so she won't say anymore. She wanted to cover up as a boy, right?
"Matte! A-Ano... Syaoran was trying to get us around here! W-we also had a problem with our clothes and all... Plus, we can't speak Chinese... Syaoran helped us a lot, so..." Kero went on as he hoped to make some sense. He felt sweat running down his face, trying to have a human to human talk with this teacher. But the teacher doesn't know Kero's case.
Mrs. Khuan smiled with a cocked up eyebrow and nodded in agreement. Kero smiled back at her and looked at Syaoran. Syaoran turned his head facing towards Kero, and smiled grimly as to say thank you. Sakura smiled at both of them.
"Okay, now, attendance everybody..." Mrs. Khuan announced.
Everybody was in eight lines with eight people each. Sakura was about to go in the girls' groups, but Syaoran held her back by pulling onto the back of her swimming top. Sakura rubbed back of her head as the girls giggled. The guys were looking at her suspiciously.
When Mrs. Khuan went down the attendance papers to Sakura's name as the last one on the list, she called it out. Sakura then raised her hand and was about to shout out. Syaoran held her around her waist and covered her mouth. Sakura then rubbed back of her head with a sweat drop realizing what she was about to do and what trouble it could get her into. The guys looked at them to suspect them even more suspicious. Kero smiled nervously.
"Oh okay..." Mrs. Khuan started. She didn't want to say it front of the class, so she thought by herself. 'I thought "Sakura" is more of a girl name in Japan... Weird... The two boys are also acting weird. Especially Syaoran... He never gotten this close to a smile.' She blew her whistle, started her stop watch, and organized her record papers. The girls, one by one, started diving into the massive pool to do back-hand strokes. After the girls finished and went out of the pool, the guys gave them wolf-whistles and high-fives, except Syaoran and Kero. As Sakura saw this, something inside her felt as if she's glad that Syaoran and Kero didn't give the "other" girls any attention...
"Sakura! I can't swim!" Kero whispered vehemently to Sakura's ear, interrupting her thoughts.
"You can swim! Just look how they swim. It's pretty simple, I'm sure. You don't sound like the Kero-chan I once knew," Sakura whispered back to him with an assuring smile. Kero smiled back, but he couldn't help sweating so much from being nervous. He then looked at Syaoran. It didn't help the encouragement Sakura has given him when Syaoran looked anxious.
"Okay, guys! Now it's your turn!" Mrs. Khuan commanded before she whistled for the start.
Syaoran went fifth and Kero went right after him. Sakura clapped like the girls and the guys gave her puzzled looks. Kero did awesome. He went exceedingly fast and it shocked the teacher. He almost beat the best record, that Syaoran has made, by two seconds.
As Kero walked around the pool to the back line of boys, he rubbed back of his head as Sakura jumped up and down in excitement. Mrs. Khuan was also excited and called for Syaoran and Kero to come over to her. Afterward, the guys started making fun of Sakura, since she was "acting like a girl". They started pushing Sakura around and made her slip off the pool, while Kero and Syaoran went to talk to the teacher. Sakura screamed as the boys laughed at her and she went down in the pool after she lost her balance.
"Hey! He not supposed to go, yet! I didn't start the stop watch! Sakura!" Mrs. Khuan shouted, but Sakura was already in the water. She didn't know that the boys pushed her in.
'Hoe-e! This water's cold! Hoe... My goggles and shorts are stuck to this hook!' Sakura thought as she struggled to get her goggles off of the hook and her shorts off the other. She went rather deep. It was hopeless and she needed air to breathe. 'I have to forget about the boy cover... Hoe...' Sakura took off her swimming shorts, since there's a speedo underneath. She then took the goggles and the nerdy swimming cap off of her head and her long hair started to unravel from it.
Kero and Syaoran ran to the rim of the pool, despite the pool rules, where Sakura got dumped at.
"It's deep! I can't even see her down there!" Kero shouted with fiery.
"I see her hair... She's coming up! She just got stuck for a bit, somehow!" Syaoran said, keeping Kero from jumping into the water.
All of the guys, girls, and the teacher gapped at them and at the head that just popped out from the water.
"Her? She? What do you mean by all that?" one of the guys said, as he shook from the cold and guilt of pushing a girl, that's actually a girl.
"Or are you just mistaking by calling him, 'her'?" a short guy said with shakiness.
All of the girls stopped giggling, because they actually thought the "boy" was really cute. They all crowded over Syaoran and Kero to see this girl.
Sakura coughed some water out on the rim of the pool, while her arms were over the edge. She is incredibly tired. "Hoe-e! I wasn't expecting that!"
As soon as everybody heard her talk they all gasped, including the teacher with the curling brown hair. If it were a boy's voice, it would of been a three year old boy's voice. Sakura blushed with deep redness. Syaoran and Kero pulled her out of the pool and Sakura coughed more. All of the girls were gasping at how pretty Sakura was, while the guys were guffawing.
"Hoe-e... Heh heh heh heh hehhhhhh... Gomen ne..." Sakura apologized to the teacher.
"I figure that there was something wrong about you, and... the other two," said the teacher, with a sweat-drop as she saw Syaoran's and Kero's heads hang over their shoulders behind Sakura.
"Gomen nasai, for the trouble I have given to this class," Sakura bowed down. The teacher laughed.
"Ah... No problem, really... I understand your position," replied the teacher, as she rubbed back of her head. She couldn't resist the girl's emerald green eyes and the beautiful aura around her. "Just be careful around here..."
Sakura smiled as Mrs. Khuan went back to her clip board. She then went back to the boy's line. But Syaoran and Kero pushed her to the girl's line.
"Hoe-e... Heh heh heh hehhhh... Oops..." Sakura couldn't help the redness on her face. Mrs. Khuan sweat-dropped and waved her hand at Sakura as if it was no big deal.
"Ah! Kinomoto Sakura! I'll get your swimming uniform tomorrow, so you wouldn't have to wear those, hahaha..." Mrs. Khuan said with an amused grin.
"Hoe-e... Hai! A-Arigatou!" Sakura gleamed. She met with the other girls and they all seem to be nice, except a few that were Syaoran's groupies.
"We saw that there... Can you even swim, Sakura? Why are you even wearing those? Dork! Is your brain but a brain stem?" said Syaoran Groupie #1, who's named Fai Chungwa. Chingwa was the one hovering all over Syaoran
All that Sakura said was, "K-Konnichiwa?" She couldn't understand Chungwa very much because she doesn't know very much Chinese. Syaoran heard all of this and went in front of Sakura. Kero's nose twitched as he sensed the trouble; Chungwa was about to slap Sakura. He was glad that Syaoran got in front of Sakura, before the girl could hit her.
Syaoran grabbed Chungwa's hand before she could even hit him. "Why'd you start that with a new girl that did no harm to you?!"
Chungwa smirked, but wiped the smile off her face when Syaoran hissed. Her presence is now reduced down to zero when Syaoran's vehemence towered over her. "W-Well, she's a weak minded w-woman... Who needs her, when she can't e-even speak our language a-a-and..."
"And what?" Syaoran asked.
"Yaa... Why are you even protecting her? You're too mighty for her! You're the highest student here! You need someone better like me!" Chungwa's spirit risen until Sakura poked her head from Syaoran's back and gave her a very big smile. Sakura then sneezed a cute "achoo" and everybody around her laughed, except the four Syaoran groupie girls. The girls behind Chungwa and the boys behind Sakura came in closer to this quarrel, to form a circle around, which made it even more obvious for the teacher. "Hmph! This is not like you, Li Syaoran!" Chungwa held her head up high and turned away. Kero, even though he can't understand Chinese, he understood the situation. Sakura, on the other hand, turned out to be confused. She thought that Chungwa was telling her not to do that fall in the pool again. Syaoran and Kero sweat-dropped at that.
Before the teacher could say anything, it was time for everybody to be dismissed.
"Hoe! Syaoran-kun, Kero-chan! My stuff are in the boy's locker room!" Sakura gleamed with redness to her face.
"No problem, just go get it," Kero said, not thinking about it.
Sakura swapped the back of Kero's head at that suggestion. Kero's eyes gone to swirls. At a sudden moment, some guy with very broad shoulders came and lifted Sakura from the ground with him to the boy's locker room.
"Ah! Ah! Sakura-chan! Wahhh..." Kero said as he got his head out of its dizziness from Sakura's hit. Syaoran got blocked by the girls, so he couldn't get away to save Sakura. Everybody seems to have something against Sakura. He never thought the people at his school acted this way. This is the first...
"Kero-chan!" Sakura cried as she kicked and punched. All of the guys and girls laughed at her and didn't stop the big guy from forcing her into the boy's locker room. "Iie! Kero-chan!"
"Sakura!" Kero yelled out in a loud husky voice as he jumped up in the air and landed to a spot where he could trip the big guy from going any further.
"Uwahh!" the big guy shouted as he scrambled on the floor. Kero slid on the marble floor and caught Sakura, saving her from the fall.
"K-Kero-chan?" Sakura whispered in awe. She never thought Kero being so handsome after being a plush toy/guardian beast for so many years. Sakura blushed when Kero turned his head toward her's.
"Daijoubu desu ka, Sakura-chan?" Kero asked with concern.
"H-Hai!" Sakura responded. She could feel her heart racing by Kero's face being close to hers.
Noticing Sakura's reaction, Kero pulled her away from him and looked away from her. He turned red as Sakura.
People around them departed away from Kero and Sakura. The girls left Syaoran. Syaoran ran to Kero and Sakura on the floor. As he did so, he slipped and fell across the floor on top of Kero and Sakura.
"Achoo! Kuh, kuh!" Sakura sneezed and coughed. Her head then suddenly dropped onto Kero's chest, swirly eyed. "Hoe-e... My head's getting heavy..."
"Sakura-chan! You're warm!" Kero yelled. She closed her eyes shut. At least Kero wouldn't tell that she's blushing from also being red from getting a sudden fever.
"Not a good day to swim when it's raining... This school has definitely changed..." Syaoran said to himself, while he looked at Sakura's face from where he's positioned at.
"Baka! Get off of us! Now, you have to get her stuff and lead us to your house!" Kero scowled at him.
Syaoran turned red, immediately got off of them and returned Kero a scowling look. He let out a sigh, then a cough when he realized what Kero had just said. "My house?! You're the two guests..."
"That's right... Now..."
"Hai... I'll go get her stuff and yours, too, Kero..." Syaoran said calmly. Kero was astonished when Syaoran actually said his name correctly. Kero smiled when Syaoran left. This is going to be an incredible change in his life.

The girls behind Chungwa and the boys behind Sakura came in closer to this quarrel, to form a circle around, which made it even more obvious for the teacher. "Hmph! This is not like you, Li Syaoran!" Chungwa held her head up high and turned away. Kero, even though he can't understand Chinese, he understood the situation. Sakura, on the other hand, turned out to be confused. She thought that Chungwa was telling her not to do that fall in the pool again. Syaoran and Kero sweat-dropped at that.
Before the teacher could say anything, it was time for everybody to be dismissed.
"Hoe! Syaoran-kun, Kero-chan! My stuff are in the boy's locker room!" Sakura gleamed with redness to her face.
"No problem, just go get it," Kero said, not thinking about it.
Sakura swapped the back of Kero's head at that suggestion. Kero's eyes gone to swirls. At a sudden moment, some guy with very broad shoulders came and lifted Sakura from the ground with him to the boy's locker room.
"Ah! Ah! Sakura-chan! Wahhh..." Kero said as he got his head out of its dizziness from Sakura's hit. Syaoran got blocked by the girls, so he couldn't get away to save Sakura. Everybody seems to have something against Sakura. He never thought the people at his school acted this way. This is the first...
"Kero-chan!" Sakura cried as she kicked and punched. All of the guys and girls laughed at her and didn't stop the big guy from forcing her into the boy's locker room. "Iie! Kero-chan!"
"Sakura!" Kero yelled out in a loud husky voice as he jumped up in the air and landed to a spot where he could trip the big guy from going any further.
"Uwahh!" the big guy shouted as he scrambled on the floor. Kero slid on the marble floor and caught Sakura, saving her from the fall.
"K-Kero-chan?" Sakura whispered in awe. She never thought Kero being so handsome after being a plush toy/guardian beast for so many years. Sakura blushed when Kero turned his head toward her's.
"Daijoubu desu ka, Sakura-chan?" Kero asked with concern.
"H-Hai!" Sakura responded. She could feel her heart racing by Kero's face being close to hers.
Noticing Sakura's reaction, Kero pulled her away from him and looked away from her. He turned red as Sakura.
People around them departed away from Kero and Sakura. The girls left Syaoran. Syaoran ran to Kero and Sakura on the floor. As he did so, he slipped and fell across the floor on top of Kero and Sakura.
"Achoo! Kuh, kuh!" Sakura sneezed and coughed. Her head then suddenly dropped onto Kero's chest, swirly eyed. "Hoe-e... My head's getting heavy..."
"Sakura-chan! You're warm!" Kero yelled. She closed her eyes shut. At least Kero wouldn't tell that she's blushing from also being red from getting a sudden fever.
"Not a good day to swim when it's raining... This school has definitely changed..." Syaoran said to himself, while he looked at Sakura's face from where he's positioned at.
"Baka! Get off of us! Now, you have to get her stuff and lead us to your house!" Kero scowled at him.
Syaoran turned red, immediately got off of them and returned Kero a scowling look. He let out a sigh, then a cough when he realized what Kero had just said. "My house?! You're the two guests..."
"That's right... Now..."
"Hai... I'll go get her stuff and yours, too, Kero..." Syaoran said calmly. Kero was astonished when Syaoran actually said his name correctly. Kero smiled when Syaoran left. This is going to be an incredible change in his life.
