Is it Kero-chan?
---------------------------

After entering the room, you asked Sakura to come up too. When she was in the room already, you asked something strange. "Clow Cards are made by a magician, right?" you asked.

"Yes. Why is that any relevant?" Sakura asked to you.

"Well, Santa-san is like a magician, right? He has elves working for him so the work won't be a big problem for him." Everyone sweatdropped. Tomoyo got your point and went to her drawer to get something. Utako was puzzled why you gave such an example? Santa Claus and his Elves?

"I don't get it." Nagisa said.

"Me too." Utako replied.

"Is this what you're trying to say? Clow may be a magician, but he could need help to something, right Akira-san?" Tomoyo showed a picture of an orange stuffed bear with wings and a long tail. Sakura was shocked and got your point.

"A stuffed toy stole your video?" You, Utako and Nagisa said.

"No. It's Kero-chan! He's a guardian of the Clow Cards. He can't return to his true form yet." Sakura said.

"What made you think Kero-chan did it?" Tomoyo asked.

"He can fly, can he?" you asked.

"Yes." Sakura answered.

"Being small like that, he can fly to your bedroom without notice." you said.

"That does make sense." Utako said.

"Let's go to Sakura-san's house!" Nagisa announced.

--Sakura's house--

"Tadaima!" Sakura looked around and no one was home.

"Where are your parents?" you asked.

"My father, Fujitaka Kinomoto-san, is on the university right now. He's a professor on history. My mom passed away when I was 3 years old." she said.

"I'm sorry. That wasn't a good question." you said.

"Don't worry! My dad and my big brother, Touya, love and make things easy for me. Oka-san watches me from above, I'm sure."
Then, Utako and Nagisa heard strange noises coming from the kitchen. Sakura and Tomoyo looks up her bedroom if Kero was there.

"Did you hear that?" Utako asked.

"Yeah. It's coming from that direction." you said.

"Should we look?" Nagisa asked. You nodded and checked the place out. You, Utako and Nagisa saw the to-do-board in the wall. It says: Fujitaka - work till 7 PM / Touya - part-time job / Sakura - prepare dinner/

"No one except us are in the house. Who else could be here?" Nagisa whispered.

You arrived in the kitchen, and nothing seems to be strange. The table and chairs were in place, the windows were shut and the refrigerator's open? You checked it out and you saw a shadow of a floating little bear. You sneak in to check it out. Nagisa and Utako were tiptoeing to check the fridge and..

"SAKURA! WHERE DID YA HIDE DA SWEETS?!" Kero-chan, the shadow they saw, floated all around the room, knowing Sakura was home.
You, Utako and Nagisa sweatdropped when you heard his Osakan dialect.

"A talking stuffed toy?!" Utako screamed. Kero saw a 2 little girls and you, looking at him strangely. He panicked and 'pretended' to be a stuffed toy.

All came near Kero-chan and looked curiously at him. Kero was sweating, seeing three kids looking at him intensely, like Touya. "Kero-chan? Hoe?!" Sakura looked at Kero, stiff, pretending that he was a stuffed toy.

"Kero-chan, you don't need to do that anymore. They know." Tomoyo said, while they came downstairs.

"Oh..Konnichiwa! I'm Kero-chan! Nice to meet ya!" he greeted.

"Ano.. Kero-chan, I reason to believe that you stole a video of Sakura." you said.

"Yeah Kero-chan! I think you have a reason why you'd steal Tomoyo-chan's tape!" Sakura said.

"Me? Steal? I didn't! How could I do something so evil like that? I'm not a thief!" Kero-chan denied that he had stolen Tomoyo's video.

"But Akira-san, why do you think Kero-chan did it?" Tomoyo asked.

"Well, my belief that he snuck out that night and went to Tomoyo-san's place. Since you can fly, you can open the window with ease. You're small enough to be un-noticed by Tomoyo-chan and stole the tape." you explained.

"I think Kero-chan didn't do it. He has an alibi." Sakura said.

"Alibi?" Utako asked.

"Right. I was eating too much sweets that night and I got a BIG tummy-ache. I couldn't move much and slept the whole night. Sakura hid the sweets from me so I couldn't worsen my tummy-ache." Kero-chan explained.

"That explains a lot. So it's not Kero-chan." Nagisa said.

"I'm very sorry for accusing you, Kero-chan!" you apologized to Kero-chan.

------WRONG! It's NOT KERO-CHAN!------

Try to guess again!
