Sakura woke up when the sun was setting on another September day. She moved experimentally to see if she was able to move on her own or if she needed help. Sakura levered herself into a sitting position and discovered Keroberos lightly snoring, asleep, across the end of her bed. Sakura moved her feet and Kero woke up. Lifting his head and giving out a huge yawn, he asked in his deep voice, "Hey kiddo! How are you doing?"
Sakura grinned and cleared her throat slightly. "Fine Kero." She whispered in a hoarse voice.
Kero smiled to see her speaking again, even if it was quietly, only to frown reproachfully at Sakura when she shifted to get out of bed. "Sakura what are you doing?" Kero asked wearily already knowing the answer to his question.
"Getting out of bed. What does it look like?" Sakura said in a soft voice, getting her feet from under the covers. Kero tried to push her legs back into bed. "Kero I'm not staying in bed all day. I'd like to see my family today." Sakura softly explained.
"Sakura you're not well! Stay in bed!" Kero exclaimed, once again trying to push her into bed.
"Kero, I'm getting up whether you like it or not. So are you going to help me up or am I going to have to do it myself and maybe hurt myself?" Sakura said in a firm but rough voice. She knew that she would never have the heart to command her guardians.
Kero sighed. He knew there was no stopping Sakura when she had her mind set. "Whoa! Slow down Sakura! I'm going to help you!" Kero yelped when he saw her put her feet down and try to stand up. Sakura couldn't, she was still a little weak and would have fallen to the floor if Kero hadn't caught her at the last minute. Kero had Sakura sit on his back sidesaddle while he padded around the room so she could get dressed.
Kero was just coming down the stairs with Sakura when the doorbell rang. Tori glanced at his father in the living room where they were working on their separate projects. "I'll get it." he said setting his laptop, that he was working on, down on the coffee table. He came past the stairs where Kero was almost down. Tori stopped to glare at his sister who clung to the back of her guardian. "You should be in bed Sakura." He said while scowling at Kero, who only shrugged his wings.
"She would only have gotten out of bed herself and then hurt herself." Kero explained looking exasperatedly up at Sakura, who nodded in agreement.
"Fine." Tori sighed rubbing his face, knowing as well as Kero how stubborn Sakura could be, as the doorbell chimed again. "But stay there, I'm not done with you yet." Tori went to the door and opened it. "YOU!" he shouted not believing who stood before him, daring to even step on his doorstep. Tori glared next after he got over his shock.
