Chapter Four: Kero-chan
Sakura walked through the front door and saw Tomoyo's note on the fridge.
I will be back soon. Just needed to get some materials for a client of mine. I'll get some take-out on my way back for dinner. Sayonara Tomoyo.
Sakura smiled at the note Tomoyo worked at her own costume shop near her mother's. She'd had her own machine and everything provided for her my her mother. But most of the time Tomoyo worked on her own and supported herself. Sakura had a part-job as a waitress in a local restaurant she didn't need to go to work tonight as it her night off.
She ran into the living room and there was Kero-chan engrossed in a video game.
"Take THAT!" he shouted, "AND THAT!"
Sakura cleared her throat. But Kero was too busy in playing his video game. Sakura tried again but this time she cleared her throat even more louder. But Kero still haven't looked up. So Sakura had no choice but to lift up Kero from the machine and turned the video game machine off. Kero just looked dumb for a second before he released what had happened.
"WHAT DID YOU DID THAT FOR!" shouted Kero, almost popping a vein.
Sakura just smiled sweetly and said, "Well… I gave you two chances and you recked them all… so I had no more choices!"
Kero grumbled and muttered in an undertone.
Sakura clucked her tongue and said, "You're eyes will be damaged if you do that. And I'm getting worried about my electricity bill."
Kero still grumbled about something.
Sakura sighed and said, "We have a problem, Kero-chan."
Kero sat up straighter, well not really seeming that Sakura still is holding him by the neck.
"What it is?" asked Kero, "and better be important!"
"Oh it is!" she said as she nodded her head.
Sakura putted Kero down onto the sofa and told him about everything. Everything expect for Li. Kero nodded once or twice and looked thoughtful. Then he asked Sakura a couple of questions and she tried to answer as much as she could. Kero started to get worried when Sakura told him about the fact that the enchantress was a once friend of Sakura and Li. But she still hasn't figured it out yet.
"There could be heaps of people under that possibility!" exclaimed Sakura.
Kero just looked thoughtful than he said, "No there's only two possibility."
Sakura just looked puzzled, then realisation dawned onto her.
"There's only two people that were our friends and knew about me and Clow Reed!" she said.
"Exactly! Ms. Mizuki and also Meiling!" said Kero at last.
"But both of them don't sound as if they want to harm me, before!" protested Sakura.
Kero shook his head and then said, "Before was before. Now is now."
Sakura just looked stunned and sat there looking thoughtful when Kero went back to his video game.
Meanwhile in Li's House…
I've been trying to find out who it is! thought Li in frustration. If only I can phone Sakura! Then a thought struck him and he reached for his jacket he wore today and pulled out a napkin. There on it was some numbers and a name. Sakura's name. Li's heart was thumping a mile a minute. He reached for the phone nearby and dialled the number.
"Hello?" said a voice, "Sakura and Tomoyo's house. Sakura speaking. How may I help you?"
Li was stunned for a couple of minutes when he said, "Um… Sakura? It's Syaoran here."
"Oh! Hi, Syaoran!" replied Sakura.
Li fiddled with the phone cord as he said, "Um… you figured out who the lady was yet?"
There was a pause at the other end of the phone. Then Sakura's voice came back.
"Yes… but two people. And one of them I think you're not going to be happy with." she replied hesitantly.
"Who are they?" he asked. Too afraid to know the answer. Too afraid to hear what Sakura might tell him.
"Ms. Mizuki and Meiling…"said Sakura.
