"where is she?" Sakura moanded as she impatiently tapped her foot. "She knew I had things to do...." SHe once agian moans to herself.
"Sakura!" a raspy voice called, "Sakura, I don't see her anywhere"
"Keep on looking, Kero. This isn't like her..She's never late...unless..."
This must be one of her plans....
There was a russles in the bushes near Kero, who was several meters from Sakura. "Sak-" He was immediatly stopped by the piercing, brown eyes behind the bush.
"Shut up, stuffed animal," Li replied through his teeth. "don't say a thing, got it?"
Kero nodded, a bit confused.
"Kero? Are you ok?" Sakura shouted.
"Yes, Yes...I'm fine, Sakura, " he flutters over to her. "Are you sure Madison said to meet you here today. I know it's a bit confusing when you know you had to meet her on a day of the week, that ened with 'day'....Maybe you-"
" Should pay attention next time, Sakura.." She interupeted in the middle of his sentence.
"Yea, exactly." Kero nodded. "Now...can we go home? I'm in the mood for cake, I heard your dad made one....cream filling....Chocolate batter....i hope the bowl is still there..." he trails off as she flys out of the trees.
Her bright emerald eyes glance around the Cherry Blossoms one last time. "Someone's here...I know it..." She said softly to herself.
A light, yet strong hand fell on her shoulder as her eyes continued to glance around. Turning, she knoks off the hand with her wrist, ready to defend her self with a...with a....well she had nothing but she was ready to fight .
Her eyes slowly looked up from foot to the person's eyes.
"Hoee!! Li! You scared me! You know you shouldn't scare me like that!" she wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.
" Uh... " Syaoran began, "Sakura..i-...th-...Oh hell i'm sorry".
She raised a brow. " That hard to appoligize, eh?" she stepped away, picking up her books and bag.
"where are your rollerblades? " He said, stepping closer to her.
"Broken, something with the axles and wheels. I'm getting a new pair from my dad." She smiled softly.
"Oh..." he said. This is my chance....
Kero flew between them. " Sakura, this boy is following us. ( to Li ) Go home, brat. We got the cards.... ( he folds his arms across his chest. )...Go home! "
"Oh Kero! Be nice! Or no cake!"
'Hmph....", he turned from Li. Baka....brat....If there was no food involved....THE GUARDIAN BEAST WOULD KICK THAT BAKA BUTT!
Li blushed a bit and paused, he just stood there watching Sakura and Kero walk away. She looks so beautiful...Oh my Cherry Blossom...If you could only know....
She stops, and turns to Li. "Syaoran, Aren't you coming?" She flashed a smile. "We have cake!" ^.^
"Uh...no..I have to...Um, train...Yea...train...New skills....Later Sakura.." He nods quickly, his face reder than ever. He then ran off, taking a sharp turn and watches them quietly behind a tree.
"Weird boy, Sakura...He really is a strange one." Kero said to her as he flutters near her shoulder.
"Oh Kero, give him a break." She blushed a bit. "He's not that weird."
"Seems as if you have other things on your mind than the safety of the Sakura Cards when your near that kid." He twirls his tail playfully in the air.
Her cheeks turn rosier. "Kero!" She swings her hand at him. "Now, do you want cake?" She darts off, giggling.
"SAKURA!" Kero shouts, shooting through the air after her.
Li steps out from behind the tree as he watches Sakura and Kero dissapear into the horizon.
"If I could tell you Sakura, my Cherry Blossom....My heart would not ache...." He turns, strolling out slowly, his hands in his pockets and his head down.
