Chapter twelve: Sakura's tiny problem
Sakura's room.
"How did you know Ben Li?"
"I met him after the Korano cards were released when I was restoring Reedington's water supply with the wet card, I told him about the cards but not about only card captors being the only people to seal them but strangely he knew"
"He knew!?" Kero cried
"I don't know how he found out but he did"
"That's strange" Sakura said
"I don't think it's anything to worry about Ben won't tell anyone" Li said calmly
"Yeah I think the cards a more of a problem" Madison said as she finally put down her camera
Everyone looked at her "Um Madison why do you always try to record me and Li together?" Sakura asked.
"I want to get some of your love moments!" Madison stated
Everyone sweat dropped.
That night.
Sakura slept in her bed heavily with Kero in his draw sleeping, they didn't notice as the window opened and a little girl dressed in brown PJ's entered closing the window softly after her. She floated over to Sakura and smiled, it glowed for a few seconds then turned into brown mist and entered Sakura's body.
Next day.
Sakura slowly opened her eyes and jumped off her bed. Then she realised as she looked around.she was only two feet high! She ran to Kero's draw and woke him up, and shook him so hard he become dizzy.
"Sakura what is WRONG!?" he looked her up and down "oh.my you do have a little problem"
"Kero what happened? What do I do? What. what do I."
"Sakura just use the big card"
Sakura nodded "okay"
She clambered up the draws and tried to grab the book but fell, she started shrinking and Kero flew under her catching her. She opened her eyes and saw Kero holding her up under her arms.
"Kero what happened now?"
"You shrunk more"
He set her down next to the Sakura book and picked up Sakura's school ruler. He measured her height to see she only just made it to ½ an inch! Kero brought Sakura's key up to her, the key was just as big as she was so it was obvious that she couldn't use the big card when she realised that she broke down crying.
"Sakura lets talk to the kid a card must have done this to you"
"Okay *sob* Kero"
She climbed onto his back, they then struggled to open Sakura's window unfortunately they weren't strong enough but fortunately Tori and Sakura's dad entered the room.
Kero flew over to them "um guys a little help here"
Aiden peered over Kero's head to see the tiny Sakura trying to hide herself from them
"Sakura is that you?"
Sakura lifted her head up "hey dad"
Tori shoved his head so close to Sakura's it made her feel nervous "hey Tori"
Tori took his head away "hah the squirt really is a squirt now!"
"TORI!"
"Anyway.can you guys open the window?" Kero asked
"Sure"
Tori opened the window and Kero flew over to it and landed on the window sill, Sakura jumped off and looked up at her brother and father.
"Sakura just take care of yourself okay?"
Sakura smiled "okay dad"
She climbed onto Kero's back and they took off in the direction of Li's apartment.
Li's room.
Li stood on the balcony waiting for Kero, he knew he was coming he could sense it but there was something strange because there was another aura with him but he couldn't place who it was.
"HEY KID!"
Li looked up as the stuffed animal floated downward and landed on the railing.
"Why are you here?" Li asked coldly
"We have a problem" he said rubbing his neck
"What problem?" Li demanded
"This problem" Kero said holding Sakura up so Li could see her
"Hey Li!" she said
Li was shocked, he took Sakura from Kero and looked at her "let me guess a card"
"We think so" Sakura said pacing on Li's hand
"Must be inside you I thought there was something strange about the aura going with Kero but now I realise it was two auras"
"Where's Korano?" Sakura asked looking up at Li
"I'M HOOOOOME"
Li covered his ears "I'm guessing that's her"
They went into Li's room and was about to go out to see Korano when she burst into the room and hugged him "LI WHAT A GREAT TIME SHOPPING I HAD!"
"KORANO YOU'RE SQUASHING SAKURA!"
Korano looked at him questionably "what do you mean"
Li opened his hand to show Sakura to Korano Korano looked shocked as Sakura waved at her
Korano looked back at Li "the tiny card"
Li set Sakura down on his bed, Kero flew down to her and watched as Li and Korano talked about the tiny card.
"First of all how do we get this card out of Sakura!?" Li demanded
"Well the card will leave Sakura only when she is faced with a danger which could kill her so basically we have to do something to Sakura which makes it look like it's going to kill her then save her at the last minute"
"Are you crazy I'm not going to risk Sakura's life!"
"But Li it's the only way!"
"NO, NO, NO, NO I'M NOT GOING TO EVEN TAKE THE CHANCE SAKURA WILL GET HURT!"
"Um Li." Sakura said standing up
"Li please we've got to try something though"
Korano tried to pick Sakura up but Li tripped her up and she fell onto Li's bed sending Sakura flying into the air. Sakura screamed, the card left her body and tried to escape but Kero and Korano pinned it to the floor. Li caught Sakura just before she hit the floor, he checked to see if she was alright he was relieved to see that she was fine.
"Li a little help here!"
Li turned to see that Korano and Kero were shrinking and that the card had got away from them, he quickly used the earth card to stop the tiny then sealed it. He looked at the card and smiled but then he felt a tugging on his trousers and looked down to see Kero and Korano.
He sighed "I hope this isn't temporary" he then smiled down at them
Sakura's room.
"How did you know Ben Li?"
"I met him after the Korano cards were released when I was restoring Reedington's water supply with the wet card, I told him about the cards but not about only card captors being the only people to seal them but strangely he knew"

"I don't think it's anything to worry about Ben won't tell anyone" Li said calmly
