Alright now... I know it's been over 2 years since my last update.

I'm /very/ sorry and understand if I have lost a lot of fans.

but I have kept you waiting for too long.

I give you, a Mistresses Heart, chapter 5.

Kero made his presence noticeable, clearing his throat, after he got the attention of Sakura and Suppi, he turned and walked away.

Sakura slapped Suppi across the face, sure to leave a mark.

He clutched his cheek and watched at Sakura ran out the door.

"Kero, Kero please." She called after him, catching up to him in the hall.

His footsteps were heavy and she could tell he was furious.

"What do you want, Sakura?" he spat.

Sakura's eyes went downcast, "I just wanted to explain…"

"Explain what?" Kero's voice was cold and icy, Sakura winced at his words.

"Well… You just came at a bad moment… I didn't want anything to do with him, he forced himself on me," She tumbled over her words, "I wouldn't want to do anything that would hurt you because…" She paused, blushing.

"Because why?"

"Because I…"

Kero sighed and turned away, "If you can't get the words out…" His eyes softened and he glanced at Sakura.

Sakura looked in his eye and watched his expression. He smiled warmly at her and wrapped his arms around her small frame.

"I know Sakura, don't worry."

Sakura cried softly into his shirt.

Kero smiled and kissed the top of her head.

"Well…" He began.

"Yes?"

"Well I think we should go speak to Suppi, no?"

Sakura nodded and followed Kero back up the stairs.

"Ehh... Kero, I was just..." Suppi began, rubbing the back of his head. His cheek was still red, noticed by both Kero and Sakura.

"Kissing Sakura?" Kero hissed.

"Well... yes and no..."

"Yes and no?" Sakura began to fume, "You raped my lips!"

Kero stifled his laughed and turned to her, "Sakura, do you think that... I could maybe speak to Suppi alone for a little bit?"

Sakura pouted and Kero patted her head, "Now come on... go down stairs, I think there's some left over cake..."

"Cake?"

"Never mind, I want that... but you can have whatever else is there..." Kero laughed.

Sakura nodded and sauntered off downstairs.

Kero turned back to Spinnel, who sat down on Sakura's bed.

"So what is all the anger about?" He sighed.

"You kissed Sakura!"

"So? She's an attractive woman... Some guys can't help themselves, and what? You got a claim on her or something?"

Kero turned red, he himself had been guilty of kissing Sakura, "What?! N-No!" He stammered.

Suppi laughed, "It's funny seeing you like this."

"Like what?"

"You love her, don't you?"

"What?!" Kero laughed nervously, "It's not like that... She's my Mistress and... I have to protect her!"

"It's not like I had a weapon..."

"I have to protect her, body and soul." Kero nodded.

"Nice excuse."

"It's not an excuse, it's the truth, The truth!"

Suppi smirked and stood, "Whatever you say my friend."

"Friend? You kissed my girl- Mistress!"

"So? Would you rather it be me kissing her, then some random guy off the street?"

?"I'd rather it be me kissing her.?" Kero scoffed.

"Aha! The truth comes out!" Suppi laughed, smirking.

"No no no!" Kero sighed, "It was an example!"

Suppi merely laughed.

Kero sighed, "No winning with you is there?"

"Nope."

"Well then..." Kero sighed and sat on Sakura's bed. "I can see why she sleeps in all the time..."

Suppi walked over to the window, looking out at the city.

"You know," He began, "One day, you might thank me..."

Kero looked up at him, "For what?"

"For helping you realize your feelings" Suppi smiled.

Kero blushed red, "For the last time I am not in love with Sakura! She's my Mistress, that's just... wrong."

Sakura had been sitting outside her bedroom door for the last while, and had heard most of the conversation.

After hearing this, she stood up and opened her bedroom door.

"Sorry to interrupt boys, I have to get ready for work." She growled, anger consuming her.

Kero and Suppi looked at her, then at each other.

"Sa-Sakura... What's wrong?"

Sakura pasted on a fake smile, "Oh nothing Kero, Why don't you go downstairs, Kero? There might be cake left, Kero."

Suppi laughed.

"What's so funny cat boy? Hmm? One more thing and I'll stuff my staff so far up your-"

"Sakura!"

Sakura sighed and flopped on her bed.

"Just... I have to work soon, please leave." She sighed, covering her face with a pillow.

Suppi and Kero nodded and left the room quietly.

Sakura felt hot tears begin to prick the back of her eyes. She quickly wiped them away and began to get ready for work.

Kero and Suppi had walked a bit further away from Sakura's bedroom when Suppi hissed,

"You idiot, you know she heard the whole thing!"

Kero covered his mouth, "You think so?"

"Does Sakura usually go around getting angry for random things?"

"...Not usually..."

"Then she heard everything we said."

"Oh..." Kero sighed, stunned.

"What are you going to do?"

"What can I do!?"

Suppi sighed, "If you don't know, you'll never know what to do when you screw up."

"I need to apologize."

"So you do like her..."

Kero turned on his heels and knocked on Sakura's door firmly.

"What is it?" She droned.

"Can I come in please?"

"In a second."

Kero waited patiently until Sakura opened the door to her bedroom. Her eyes were slightly red and wet. He could tell she had been crying. He watched as she sat at her vanity, prepping herself for work. He sighed and sat on her bed.

"So... you heard."

"Everything."

"Look I'm sor-"

"Don't apologize if you don't mean it."

"But I do mean it." Kero sighed, walking behind her.

Sakura stared at her reflection, and then at Kero's behind her.

"I do mean it Sakura, I promise."

Sakura stared to cry.

"What's wrong?" Concerned, Kero turned the chair and kneeled in front of her.

Sakura wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "You don't like me!"

Kero covered his mouth, "No... Sakura... I do like you!"

Sakura stopped crying, "Really?"

Kero smiled and nodded.

"But... Isn't it weird when you kiss me?"

"It's one of the greatest things in my life."

Sakura blushed and smiled.

"Sakura, seeing you happy is the highlight of my day. When you're sad, I feel like... my heart is broken."

Sakura looked at him intently.

"Sakura... I..."

"I..."

Sakura leaned forward and kissed Kero lightly.

"Love me?" She smiled.

Kero nodded.

From the doorway, Suppi laughed.

"Aha! I knew it!"

Kero blushed, "Yea, I guess you did."

Sakura smiled and stood, "It's time for me to go to work, y'know?" She squeezed Kero's hand lightly and left for work.

Kero had said goodbye to Suppi a few hours later, he had to return to Eriol. He was busying himself around the house, waiting for Sakura to come home. An hour or so before she was due home, there was a knock at the door.

Kero opened the door and gasped.

"Hi..." The person at the door said.

"Hi."

"I'm looking for Sakura... do I have the wrong place?"

Kero shook his head.

"Well... is she here?"

Kero shook his head again.

"How long until she's back?"

"She should be back from work soon..."

"Alright, do you mind if I wait here? We go back a long time, and I'd really like to see her again..."

Kero nodded and showed him inside.

They sat down in the living room, the air was tense.

"So..."

"So."

"Are you her boyfriend or something?"

"Or something."

The man laughed, "A comedian, eh?"

Kero smiled.

They both grew quiet for a while.

"So you said she'd be back soon?"

Kero nodded and glanced at the clock, "Anytime now."

Footsteps were heard in the hallway.

The front door opened and Sakura called out happily, "Kero I'm home!"

Kero could hear the smile in her voice. "Welcome home."

She walked into the living room, "Thank- Syaoran?!"

She stared at the man across from Kero.

"What are you doing here?" She glared.
