Chapter 1: Three Words of Hate

A girl around the age of twelve, with short brown hair, pinned in small pigtails and
long bangs, sat on her bed. She non-stopped picked up the phone put down the phone.
Syaoran-chan, I hate you! She thought over and over. She wanted to call him and admit
she was wrong. Oh, sure she was just a child, didn't know as much as Syaoran-chan, or
Tomoyo-chan. She continued to stare at the phone, until she saw a small drop of water
fall, she felt tears stream down her face. She replayed what Syaoran and herself had
said.
"Oh, shut up Sakura-chan!"
"Syaoran-chan, What have I done?!"
"Your an idiot, Sakura-chan! I don't know how you'd ever make it as a Card
Captor! It's all that stupid stuffed animal's fault, if you never came along, we would have
never met!"
"Syaoran-chan! What are you talking about?"
"You know exactly!"
"Syaoran-chan, What did I do to you?!"
"Sakura-chan, I just hate you!"
"I hate you too! Syaoran-chan, I hate you!"
The three words, I hate you, pierced Sakura's heart. She didn't know what was
going on, or what to do. One thought came to mind, call him an apologize, it was the
least she could do. She wanted to make up with him, he was just like her, he was a
Card Captor as well. She got up the courage and pressed the auto dial. She held the
phone to her ear, and listened as it rang. She still was crying and tried to hold it back.
Syaoran, I don't hate you! I never did! I hope you forgive me! She thought as the phone
still rang, until the answering matchine came on.
"Hi, This is Syaoran-chan, I'm not home right now, so please leave a message."
The beep went off, Sakura had lost control and started saying things at random.
"Syaoran-chan, I'm sorry! I Don't hate you! Why do you hate me, what have I
done? Please, tell me! I need to know, you've been by my side forever. I've got to know
why you would start to hate me! Please." She cried as she talked.
Syaoran was sitting on the side of the bed, a frown apon his face. He thought of
what to do, the words 'I hate you' were just blurted out, only if he could take them back.
He looked down to the floor, still listening to Sakura's crying voice. He wanted to pick up
and say sorry, but how would he back it up? She had said she wanted to know why he
hated her. What was he supposed to say? Sakura I was just mad. Your not the person I
expected to be the other Card Captor. He thought of anything, anything at all to say to
her.
"Syaoran-chan, I want to know why! Please, just call me back!" She let out
another cry, and hung up. She hadn't notice she pressed the wrong bottom and
continued to talk outloud.
"OK, I've got to get through this. I've got the be strong. Syaoran-chan, may hate
me...but I don't hate him, why would I? I don't have a good reason to tell him 'I hate
you'." She still cried and fell onto her bed next to the phone.
Syaoran picked up the phone, and took a deep breath, he let out a slight sigh.
He listened as she talked, and waited until she finished.
Sakura took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly and steadily. She got up and
walked to the window, she continued to repeat 'I don't hate you, Syaoran' over and
over, she couldn't get the though of him hating her out of her mind.
"Sakura-chan?" He asked. Sakura hadn't heard the phone and walked out of the
room, and out of the house. The sky had been darker then usual, it had just rained, and
looked as if more rain was to come. There were puddles on the ground, she walked to
one and looked at herself in her reflection, her eyes were bright red from crying, and
she looked as if she was going to break out screaming.
She walked to Tomoyo's house, and rang the doorbell. Tomoyo answered the
door, and had a worried expression on her face. She walked out and put her hand on
Sakura's shoulder. There was silence and all was heard was the thunder. Lightning
struck every few minutes lighting the street for a slight moment.
"Tomoyo-chan.." She looked at her quietly. "Syaoran-chan hates me, he told me
myself. I was being stupid and said I hate him too! Tomoyo-chan I don't really hate him!
You know I don't!"
"Sakura-chan, it's all right. Did you talk to him after?"
"I called, but his answering matchine went off. I don't think he will listen to my
message, but I hope he does."
"Me too, Sakura-chan." She replied smiling. "Come on, in the meantime lets go
have some hot-chocolate." She said with a smile on her face. Tomoyo was always a
great friend, Sakura could never stand the thought of Tomoyo without her bright smile.
She had always counted on her to help her, in times like these.
Sakura and Tomoyo walked into the house and walked into the front room, she
popped in one of the tapes Tomoyo had filmed. Of course, a one of Sakura's great
adventures as a Card Captor. Tomoyo didn't press play, then walked into the kitchen to
boil some water. She waited till the water was hot, then poured it into two tea cups, and
added chocolate. She stirred until it looked tasty, then walked back into the room and
handed Sakura a cup. She sat down and pressed play. They watched for a little bit until
Tomoyo interrupted with a sigh.
"I wish I had more shots of you, Sakura-chan!" She said.
"Oh, Tomoy-chan! You have enough of me! You got same great ones of the
Card!"
"You think?"
"You bet!"
"Oh, Wow. Thanks Sakura-chan!"
"Your great at video taping!" She smiled.
"I'm not great at it..."
"Oh, Tomoyo-chan! Your great at it, I know it, you know it!" This made Tomoyo
smile. Tomoyo had cheered up Sakura, so now it was Sakura's chance to cheer up
Tomoyo.
They continued to watch some of the card captured adventures that Tomoyo had
caught. Sakura smiled as she thought of a cute name for Tomoyo, to make her feel like
a Card Captor.
"Hey, Tomoyo-chan! You know, you fit the name 'Video Captor'! It fits you
perfectly!" She smiled once again.

Syaoran had been sitting on his bed, still talking into the phone as if Sakura was
still there. He had said Sorry a few times, and told her he didn't hate her.
"Sakura, I was just mad. I'm so sorry, I don't hate you." he continued to say into
the phone. He talked and looked out the window, watching the rain drops hit his
window. It was slightly darker then it was about thirty minutes ago. Lighting struck every
so often and brought a flash of light to the sky. Thunder still came more often then the
flashing lighting. Syaoran had the sudden erge to find Sakura and apologize, he
grabbed his coat and walked out of the house and down the street.

It was late once Sakura decided to leave. She needed to get home, it was 9:00
P.M., if she wasn't home soon her family would worry. She got up and thanked
Tomoyo, then walked out of the front door. It was kind of cold outside, Sakura had
found herself shivering. She was wearing short sleeves, and a skirt. She had been
walking in the cold and rain until she spotted Syaoran.
Syaoran spotted Sakura, she was walking. Sakura suddenly stop, she could feel
her heart sink. She looked down and turned to face the other way, she still shivered.
Syaoran walked up her, and took of his coat and placed it around Sakura's shoulder.
She stopped looking down and turned to face him.
"Sakura-chan, I was just in a bad mood, I'm sorry." He said kindly. "You've
always been a close friend to me, I couldn't hate you."
"Syaoran-chan, you said yourself you did." She replied.
"But, I never said I ment it."
Sakura smiled slightly, They were friends again. She started to walk toward her
house, Syaoran followed closely behind her. They walked in silence until they go to
Sakura's house, she stopped and took of the coat and handed it to Syaoran. He took it,
then nodded. Sakura smiled, then walked inside. She took off her shoes and walked up
the stairs
