Ch.2 (short)

Sure Sakura had always loved Kero in a way but… her guardian as a boyfriend? Odd. She decided to call Eriol while Kero was playing Sims on the computer.

"Hello… is Eriol there?"

"Yes, One moment please…"

"Hello, Eriol here."

"Konbanwa Eriol… I have a question"

"Konbanwa Sakura! I had a feeling you'd call"

"Yes…well… I wanted to know… Can kero ever become a human?"

"Yes"

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Positive…"

"Arigatou Eriol… thank you so much…"

"Sakura... no problem… don't do anything-" and Sakura hung up.

She had always loved Kero… in her own way. But she knew the love had grown closer over the years. She often fantasized about her guardian as a human. She had to wait for a while before because he was asleep.

The next day she left for work (early for once) smiling. She knew what she was going to do tonight. She was well prepared for it. She hoped. The day went really slow until he walked in. Li Syaoran. She felt sick.

"Maki can you cover for me… I'm not feeling well."

"Sure Sakura."

She ran out the front door in her uniform. Rushing to the nearest coffee stand. She had to get away from him. She turned around as she felt his aura approach.

"What do you want?" She asked

"I need to talk to you…"

"I don't want to talk to you!"

"Sakura I'm really sorry… "

"I DON'T FUCKING CARE!"

"I said I was sorry what do you want me to do?"

"Leave me the FUCK alone… go back to Meilin."

"Whatever… I think your stuffed animal will be waiting at home for you… he's the only friend you've got whore."

"Fuck you, you fucking prick."

"Go fuck yourself Sakura… Its pathetic to even look at you."

"I don't need this."

Sakura ran inside before he could see her tears. He was right. She had no one! Her friends all died and her family was dead. The only person she had was Kero and he was a teddy bear/lion.

She left work early complaining of a sore stomach. She needed to find out if Eriol was right. She decided to call kero out.

"Kero-chan… can you come here?" She smiled as she got her staff and cards out.

She needed the Create and Hope card for this to work.

"Nani Saku-"

"Create! Please create Kero as a human! HOPE! Find the power for create to work from the love inside my heart!"

The apartment shook as a golden light illuminated the surrounding area around the small bear. His shape began to contour leaving a bunch of papers blown away. Sakura began to gasp, thinking she'd killed him. But what she had was much, much, different…
