Title: Reunion
Prompt: rewriting an old story's chapter
Pairing: Sakura heart Syaoran
Dedication: to every SXS fan out there! XD

"Class, as I have promised yesterday, our new student from Hongkong will be joining us today. Please welcome, Li Syaoran."

The door slid sideways to reveal a teenage boy about the age of seventeen. Girls immediately diverted their attention to him, their eyes ridiculously turning into hearts.

Sakura, on the other hand, was sitting at her place; she was boring herself by reading an aged journal of a detective who was known all over the world.

"You may sit beside Ms. Kinomoto there. Ms. Kinomoto, please raise your hand."

And yet, eventhough her name was mentioned twice already, Sakura remained oblivious of the eyes staring at her, wondering why she wasn't making any move of following the teacher's instructions.

"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan!"

Kick.

Sakura cried with surprise and an emerging pain in her left leg. "Eek! (Everyone chuckled at the unlady-like sound) That hurt Tomoyo-chan!"

Noticing everybody's gaze, she flushed beet red and tried to compose herself.

"Daijobu Kinomoto-san?" Mizuki-sensei, the teacher, asked worriedly.

"Genki desu."

"So there Li-kun. You sit beside her."

Syaoran sauntered forward towards the seat next to Sakura and she couldn't help noticing that this Syaoran was quite handsome.

"Stop staring at me," he snapped, extracting her from delving into the thoughts about him that was already forming in her mind.

The flush was creeping in her face, she was sure as she answered, "Right…er, sorry."

Sakura lowered her head and was about to continue reading only to be stopped by a short chuckle that she was sure only she could hear. "I guess I should be sorry too. I couldn't stop looking at your face."

Hearing that, her cheeks flushed with a strange sweet tickling feeling and she was tempted to bury her head in her arms.

Sakura's blush went redder when she heard yet another laugh from him. "You're a mess, you know that?"

Sakura made a weird face and knitted her elegant eyebrows. "Huh?"

Syaoran just rolled his eyes and pointed a finger at her hair. "Hair. Disheveled. Face. Scrunched up. You looked bored." He smirked. "Well, at least not now."

Comfort settling in, Sakura gave him a wide grin and sighed. "Yeah, bored. I was reading this journal--" She raised the detective's journal and lowered it down thereafter. "--and nothing exciting came up yet. Oh. How rude of me. Gomen. I'm Sakura Kinomoto by the way. Nice to meet you."

He smiled in return. "It's a pleasure too. My name is Syaoran Li."

Mizuki-sensei's voice raised an octave higher, gaining both of their attention and as well as everybody's. "So class. I prepared 3 challenge questions for all of you. These questions will be answered by pair. The pair that can answer all three of the questions will get four free tickets to the amusement park. The pair which will be able to get two correct answers will have three tickets and the pair with one correct answer will have two tickets. This will be some sort of an assignment to be discussed tomorrow. I trust you to do it on your own, 'kay?"

The classes nodded with approval, a sense of excitement bubbling from them. At once, the students started talking and asking someone to be their partner and Ms. Mizuki shook her head with amusement at how students can get all energized about things as long as they've got something in it for them.

Sakura noticed all those in a bubbly manner. And she too couldn't stop herself from getting hyped up. She twisted in her seat to face Tomoyo and ended grinning impishly when she saw her best friend talking with Eriol, her other best friend. Sakura really believed that there's something going on with Tomoyo and Eriol, in the romantic side specifically.

"Gross."

Sakura chuckled and shifted sideways to face Syaoran who was making a sour face after witnessing the scene between her best friends. "What's the matter Li-kun?"

Syaoran too, in recognition to someone who's talking to him, shifted to face her. "Never thought Hiirigizawa knows how to flirt."

Upon hearing this, Sakura leaned forward, making herself almost fall out of her chair if it weren't for Syaoran who swiftly caught her waist. "Thanks. But, how did you know Eriol-kun?"

"He's actually my retarded cousin."

Sakura clapped her hands together with fervor but seconds after, her face fell with mock-disgust. "Why didn't he tell us that he has a cousin coming?"

He shrugged noncommittally. "Perhaps not proud of it." He continued after seeing the puzzling look Sakura had given him. "Just kidding."

"Oh. I thought the two of you aren't in good terms since you're kind of...speaking ill of him." She pouted cutely when he laughed. "Why isn't Mizuki-sensei speaking?"

"She's enjoying at observing her students. That's boring--" Syaoran was cut off mid-sentence when he felt Sakura's fingers on his forehead, clearing his bangs away from his chocolate orbs. He blushed with that touch. "H-hey!"

He saw her wince at the sudden force of his voice. "Sorry. I was just surprised. But, um, are you that easily at ease with strangers? I mean, like with new classmates?"

For a few seconds, Sakura raised an eyebrow uncomprehendingly but realization soon dawned after her. She chortled softly, brightening her emerald eyes. "Dunno. But it's really nice to have new friends and I think it's safe to say that I easily feel comfortable." Looking sideways, Sakura gulped nervously. "Er, those girls are freaking me out."

Sensing her discomfort, Syaoran trailed the direction of Sakura's eyes and comprehended that some girls are throwing daggers at her but the moment that they noticed he was looking at them, they all turned gooey and everything. He rolled his eyes and fixed a cold stare.

He glanced away from them and stared at Sakura interestingly. Time to spill the beans. "You really don't remember me, do you?"

"Hoeee?"

He extended a hand and Sakura just stared at it, perplexed. "I'm your Syao-chan. We were like friends three years ago. I'm your father's godson. Nice to meet you again, Sakura."

Few seconds passed by and were spent in silence as she stared at Syaoran's face with an expression a kin to confusion then trying to…

Then, Syaoran saw the recognition flashing on her glowing face.

"Syao-chan!" Without thinking, she lunged herself at him and eventhough surprised, he hugged her back gently. Everyone went silent and Sakura hardly noticed it. "I can't believe it! You changed, well, physically at least! But then, I didn't recognize you at all! Did you have plastic surgery or something?"

She let go and he laughed heartily. "Of course not!"

Unintentionally, Sakura glanced over her shoulder and caught a glimpse of the expressions her fellow classmates wore. She sweatdropped and giggled. "Hehe. Gomen nasai."

Reminding herself to watch her actions, Sakura settled herself once again on the chair and spoke in a softer yet still audible voice. "You really changed. I can't believe you laughed for about more than ten times since you entered this room."

He rolled his eyes playfully. "As if laughing is impossible. By the way, my mother is back. In fact, she's with me. But now, she's at your house."

Sakura unconsciously reached for his hand. "Really? That's good! So, you'll be living with us?"

"Seems like it," he stated calmly but inwardly affected at her touch. It had been three years since he had seen her last. They were sort of best friends slash childhood friends way back then and Sakura was his confidant of the problems he had in his life, whether it's about the clan or with his social life. It's really nice to know that you have someone to return to when you go back to such a memorable place.

"Kakoi!"

Syaoran smiled.

-;-

"So, these are the question, ne?" Sakura asked, her eyes not leaving the piece of paper she was holding. She was on her way home and that morning, Mizuki-sensei gave them parchments containing the questions they need to answer. She smacked her lips. She already had a vague answer of the first two questions but with the third, she was having a hard time.

"Don't be too hard on yourself with that Sakura," a husky voice whispered in her ears and it stroke her that she was walking with Syaoran.

The teacher assigned her to be Syaoran's partner since they knew each other. She smiled upon remembering her female classmates who obviously took an immediate liking on her friend.

"Is it necessary for him to be partners with someone he know?"

"Will it not be better to pair him up with others? I mean, explore new friends!"

"Yeah, meet new friends!"

A giggle. "And make new girlfriends..."

"So, anyone's got your attention at school?" Sakura asked, pocketing the piece of paper.

After raking his hair with his fingers, Syaoran heaved a sigh. "They're troublesome."

"Aw. Come on. You need to get yourself a girlfriend! Don't say that," Sakura burst into a fit of giggle seeing the look of disgust of his face.

"Look who's talking." He rolled his eyes.

Sakura stuck her tongue out, unmoved. "Girls are different from boys. What will the others say when they'll know that you don't have any flings and everything?"

And he too was unfazed. "They'll say that no one had passed my standards yet." He quirked an eyebrow. "So, how about you? Did you and that Yukito somehow become together? You absolutely had a huge crush on that snow-rabbit."

She hit his arm lightly. "You're making it sound like it's a bad thing to have a crush on him!"

With his expression turning serious, he sauntered towards the nearby sakura tree and leaned against it. His hands pocketed, he motioned her to walk forwards and she did. "So, he rejected you?"

Despite the thought of that, Sakura managed to laugh and mock-glared him. "Very funny Li." Sitting at the base of the tree, Sakura sighed in contentment. "He rejected me," she finally decided to say. "He said I'm not attractive enough for him to like. I was fifteen when that happened." Sakura laughed, but it was filled with bitterness that didn't fool Syaoran. "Never thought that that was his sole standard. I saw him hanging out with a super beautiful chick but sad to say, she didn't have a heart and a brain."

Syaoran's eyes narrowed with anger at Yukito and made a mental note of getting back at him.

In an attempt to console her, Syaoran bent down a little and offered his hand for her to take. When she didn't make a move to take it, he sighed and pulled her into his arms. "Since when did you know how to criticize another person? Where's my innocent, darling, li'l Sakura?"

And that succeeded in cheering her up. Sakura glowered at him but the twinkle in her eyes was now back and she let go of the embrace. "Since when am I yours?"

A wicked glint appeared in his eyes and Sakura knew instantly that she had triggered something in his memory. How right she was. "Since you gave me the necklace when we were ten, saying that it was your engagement gift to me."

Sakura blushed and he loved the thought of how she never gets used of that habit. "I said that just to make annoying Ken back off."

"Uh-huh." He nodded. "Yeah, right."

Seeing the look of mock indignation on her face, Syaoran smirked and snaked an arm around her waist. "Whatever. Might I remind you that you're still my fiancé. So, come and kiss your future husband."

"You wish!"

'Yeah, and I wish a lot more…,' he thought.
