“I’m soooo late!” Sakura wailed as she dashed down the street.
Kero had kept harping about the new threat, about a new enemy or ally and about the importance of remembering her Dream all morning that she had missed not only her breakfast but leaving on time for school.
It was extremely frustrating but try as she might, she couldn’t remember a thing about the Dream at all. Well, except ... glowing eyes.
Slowly Sakura slowed her pace, coming to a stop in the middle of the sidewalk. She frowned thoughtfully as she gazed at the sky but her eyes were unfocused as her mind churned furiously. And she remembered. He was gazing at her. No ... not eyes, not really. In place of eyes, there was a pair of glowing orbs. He ... yes, it was a he was just one of them. There was another one, no two more?
“No ... there were four of them.” she mumbled to herself.
“I KNEW IT!”
Sakura jerked whipping her head around at the totally unexpected cry. Then she felt her backpack wiggling and quickly removed it as a stuffed plushie stuck its oversized head out of her school bag.
“You remember now don’t you!” Kero exclaimed eagerly
“KERO!” Sakura shouted in horror.
“Ahh ... that’s better. No air at all in there.” Kero remarked as he worked his way out of the bag and fanned himself with one stubby little arm. “You need to get a bigger bag, maybe one with decent ventilation...” he said as he flexed his cramped wings.
“You’re suppose to stay at home!” Sakura reprimanded and tried cramming the overactive doll back into her bag.
“AAACCKK!!” Kero gasped, “No, wait!”
Sakura muttered, “I don’t have enough time to drop you off so you’ll have to come with me today...” as she continued to squeeze the uncooperative little Guardian Beast into the confines of her school bag.
“Sakuraaaa! My neck doesn’t bend that way!” Kero protested.
“How did you get in there anyways?” Sakura asked relenting for a brief moment to glance inside her normally full bag, “I didn’t think there was any room.”
“Oh there was enough after I ate your lunch.” Kero explained helpfully.
“What?” Sakura shrieked. “My lunch?!”
Kero straightened, puffing out his nonexistent chest and putting his hands on his similarly nonexistent hips and tried to look seriously stern. “Sakura!” he demanded, “What’s more important? A new threat or your stomach!” he lectured pompously waggling an arm at her.
Sakura fantasized briefly of stuffing him into her lunch box.
Kero folded his arms, “So do you remember your Dream now?” he demanded.
Sakura nodded, “Well ... some of it...”
Kero nodded, stroking his chin with a gleam in his eye, “Good, good. Now what do you remember about—”
“I’d like to hear about this Dream too.” A new voice interrupted them.
They turned to see...
