Suddenly, a jerking sound came from the window. Kero was suprised. "I'd have thought you'd come in though the front door what with your dad-…" Kero was cut off. A rather startled Kamaki stand in the window still holding onto what seems to be rags. Kamaki slowly steped forward. "I am to assume you, are Kero." Kamaki said dropping the remains of Sakura's clothes onto the floor. "That must make you Kamaki." Kero said, a fire beggining to burn in his chest. Kamaki searched for his words very carefully. "I assume you've heard of me, of us. But what you know is regardless. Do you have any idea what you've put her through?" Just before Kamaki finished, Kero started up. "And who are you to pass judgment on my actions?" Kero snaped. "I pass no judgment! But that too is regardless! You, of all people should know she ain't like that!" Kero quited. "You changed her." Kamaki protrudes his arm in protest. "I changed nothing! She's still the same as when I fell in love with 'er!"
Kero begins to lose his momentum of the argument. The anger and resentment he feels for Kamaki clouds his judgment. Just when Kero was going to give in he realizes, those rags aren't rags, there Sakura's pajamas. "My god. You, monster!" Kamaki is confused. "Excuse me?" But before he can get an answer, or make the slightist move, Kero, in a fit of rage, transforms. As Keroberos, he lunges at Kamaki. Trying to defend, Kamaki tries blocking his claws with his left arm, leading to him nearly losing it. Blood splaters across the room as Keroberos thrusts Kamaki out the window, following in hot pursuit. Rather than falling, Kamaki sprouts a pair of brilliant silver white wings. He draws his sword in time to parry Keroberos fangs. They soar far and wide, Kamaki not once attacking, making sure to only defend. "Why'er ya attacking me?" Kamaki demands as he continues to counter. He is answered with only a more fierce offence.
Finally, when Kamaki was given no other choice, he struck Keroberos hard with the guard of his blade. Keroberos is sent backward a few meters and drops a bit. After regaining his balance, Keroberos lets out a burst of flames, engulfing Kamaki instantly. Fire being his element, Kamaki's left arm heals, as well as his fatuige and various other wounds Keroberos had the inflicted throughout his attacks. When the blaze cleared Kamaki flouted in place with his own pattened grin spread across his face. "I'd advise you stop now." Kamaki taunted. He wanted this to end, but had to keep his advantage, verbally and physically. (Guy thing.) "You see, I absord fire, so after all that tuckering out, it alloted to squat. I'm healthier now, than when I got here."
Keroberos snarled. He knew he was right, but he had to stop him. Had he hurt Sakura, or if he planned to… Kero couldn't have that. Kamaki could see that in his eyes. He searched for a way out of a blood ending, and he did, in the vision of an angel. "Sakura, we missed her." Kamaki said gazing past Keroberos. Kero's eyes widened, he turned to face Sakura, who was hovering no more that a meter from him. "Kero. Why Kero?" Was all she could grasp. She heard Kamaki's demands from her bedroom and quickly tried to catch up with them. She was distraught. "Sakura, I was trying to protect you! Are you hurt? If he laid one finger on you-…" Keroberos screams were cut off. "For the last time, I'm fine! He didn't touch me! He was a perfect gentleman! Unlike you!" She screamed at him. "But, your nightgown…"
Kamaki interupted, sheathing his sword. "Silk is like tissue when ya've been running marathons and sweatin' buckets. Look at ya, protecting her as your daughter. Her father knows me, likes me, and you? Make accusations, belilte me. Like ya know me when you don't 'ave a clue! You use my alter ego as an excuse, when what 'ur really afraid of is meh." Kamaki turns away from them. "You gotta problem with meh, deal with meh." Kamaki's tone changes. "But if hear of you calling Sakura a whore again,-" Kamaki turns and glares down Keroberos with glowing blue eyes. "I'll stain the world with your blood." Sakura and Keroberos are caught off by his words and unwarned transformation. Kaze turns from them, dusts himself off, and begins to desend. Half way, he turns back. "Oh and Sakura, Kamaki brought you back your pj's." A moment after Kaze lands, he is gone.
Kero and Sakura make haste in cleaning her room. If anyone were to walk in, there would be no way to explain it. The two of them exchanged no words, only glances. But they spoke loud enough alone. Sakura could only glare at him. Kero knew, that he had ruined their relationship. He had never seen such hate in a persons eyes before. Sakura could see the guilt in his eyes, how sorry he was. But she cares not, for her anger had her blinded. She could only think of how much she hated him, how his very presence made her sick. When they had the room somewhat normal, Kero tried speaking. But her cold gaze only let him utter a word neither of them knew. She could bare no longer to look at him and jolted her head to the side, where she saw her mirror, and the cold gaze she knew only too well.
She had seen that face far to many times. When Julian was gone, when everyone was without love. Sakura broke down. She collapsed on her bed sobbing into her hands, repeatingly saying "Not again, not again…" Kero flouted closer to her. "Sakura?" He managed out. "Kero…" Sakura said as she looked up. Her face was completely different. No longer was that resentful spirit with her, just a lonely girl in dire need of a hug. Which Kero was more than willing to offer.
What a weekend. Li comes back, nearly gets killed. Kamaki turns evil…-ish, then nearly sees me naked! Kero gets worried, turns into vigilante parent. I get upset, and wreck my favorite pajamas. What's next? Madison turning gay? Uggh! At least all thats over with. Li gets outta the hospital tommorrow, so I'll finally get a chance to talk to him alone. Madison told me that she'd keep Kamaki busy for a while so I don't see any more brawls in the near future. Hopefully…
School
The next day passed by so quickly, that after what seemed like no time at all, school was over and it was time to see Li. The day had been a usual one so far, Kamaki being a smart-alec, Madison raving over a new design, headaches after cheerleading practice, the usual. As Sakura gathered her things, she notices Kamaki skipping over to her. "Heya! Whatcha up to today?" He said as he reached her, as though nothing had changed. She would have liked that a lot if she hadn't had plans with Li. Sakura had an excuse ready, a lie, but as she opened her mouth, Madison intervened.
"Not today lover boy!" She said twirling him to around to face her. "Here he is, the most desireable boy in all of Tomeda, fawning and battling for the love of his life, and I have yet to know him! You've fallen for my best friend and have filled me with such inspiration, it was destiny for us to be friends! And as your duty as my new friend, you are to be my next fashion victim! Oh ho ho ho ho ho…-" Madison rants and laughs in her normal glossy fashion.
To Sakura, Kamaki seemed to have no reaction, till he turned his toward her, eyebrow cocked, sweat beading, and a look of despare she knew to have felt a thousand times. "She's not serious…" Sakura couldn't tell if he was asking, or reassuring himself. "I'm afraid she is. And the only way to get out of this would be to kill her, and we wouldn't want that right?" Kamaki's eyebrow twiched as he turned back to Madison, shock his head, and regained his cool. "Alright, but I 'ave one condition." Madison's cackling ceased. "You do meh, I do you." Kamaki said, off-setting both girls. "You…-" Both girls started, Kamaki finished. "You makeover meh, I makeover you. Deal?" Sakura sighed in relief, then shook her head. Madison's eyes had begun to shine with a firey pashion that no man could ever describe. "Deal!" Cried Madison as she snatched Kamakis hand. Kamaki gulped, surprised by her strength. "Sakura?" He says slightly paniced. Sakura shruged. "I told you to beat her, I would've. But now you've signed your death warrent." Kamaki's loses all form of "cool" as the word "death" came up. Madison bolts off toward her house, with Kamaki dangling behind her in the breeze. For miles people could hear Kamaki's death curdling cry; "Sakura!"
