Summary: Umm.nothing really important happened in that last chapter, if you really want to find out but don't want to read the story…tough luck buddy.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters…I never said I did, so you can't accuse me! (Looks menacingly at Sakura-chan)
Sakura: What, you're saying I'm the one who accused you!
FrozenMirror: Oh, yes that's exactly what I'm saying
Sakura: But you have no proof!
Syaoran: Sorry Sakura, but even I heard you saying that…
Sakura: awwww…
Part Three: To Dream of Syaoran
"Kero! Kero! Where are you?"
"Oh Sakura? I'm up here…don't come in" came Kero's voice.
Sakura stood at the door, wondering why she wouldn't be allowed to enter her own bedroom. Wild ideas raced through her mind. Had he been testing some destructive kind of magic in her room? No, that couldn't be it.
"Well, what's the matter then?" Sakura wondered out loud and gently pushed on her door.
"I told you not to come in here! And more importantly, why were you out so late? You were with the brat I suppose?"
Sakura didn't answer…her room was a disaster! What looked, and she hoped was pudding splattered the walls, the floor, and her nice new white bedspread…
"KERO! How…you…what…did…you…you…do?"
Kero slid against the wall. His tiny face was covered with chocolate but Sakura could still see his almost devious little grin.
"I was terribly bored Sakura, and had nothing else to do. Then your dad brought up this pudding and I ate it."
"But you had to throw it around as well? Sounds like a pretty stupid way to waste my afternoon. I mean, why couldn't you have gone outdoors and made a mess out there in stead of in here?" Sakura raged as she picked up her discarded stuffed animals from the floor.
"Because you locked the window! You can't blame anyone but yourself." Kero said and he flew over to his drawer and pulled it close. Then he turned the music up on his mini stereo really loud. (The stereo had been a gift from Sakura. She's regretted it ever since..)
"I know you can still hear me!" Sakura shouted over the music, "Apparently I don't have a guardian with any self restraint!"
Silence.
With a couple a deep breaths to settle her down, Sakura undressed and got into bed. She knew how early it was, but she was so tired…
"Syaoran! I thought we were going to study after school today!"
"Oh, sorry Sakura I have to work."
"Since when do you work?"
"I've worked for a while now. There are a lot of things you don't know about me."
"So you've been keeping all these secrets from me? I thought we had something…special."
"Oh, Sakura you're so serious all the time you got to have a little fun once in a while."
A girl shadowed in black walks up to Syaoran and slowly reaches forward to kiss him.
"Syaoran, who's this?"
"Your replacement…"
Sakura tried to steady her breathing. That had been one horrid dream.
The sun was slowly rising above the hills and cast a beautiful light upon the neighborhood. The sunlight, of course never differed in beauty…but today as Sakura sat alone in her bedroom the sun seemed less beautiful some how.
"So…what WERE you doing with Syaoran last night?"
Kero floated lazily by Sakura's shoulder, acting as though they were just in the middle of a conversation.
"We were just spending time together. People who love each other do that you know?"
Kero was quiet for a moment, his eyes closed as he soaked in the morning light then said,
"I was in love once you know."
This shocked Sakura. Kero almost never talked about his past life, besides wouldn't he have been too busy for a relationship?
"Really? With whom I wonder, and if you say Spinnel Sun, I will so freak out."
"No," Kero chuckled, "Besides, Spinnel's already enamored with that Ruby Moon lady. No my love was special, but it slipped out of my grasp. She began to love someone else more than she had loved me…it was a terrible feeling, knowing your not good enough…" He was silent again, lost in memories, then, " Well, enough of the sentimentality, I smell pancakes!"
