Not 'till the sun sets By: Miyoko

Author's Notes: Okay, this is my first Sakura-Shaoran fanfic, I wrote it last year, but I never got to encode it, coz' of the curse. if you want to know, e-mail me. haneycraze@yahoo.com It's a little bit angsty. Actually, it is angsty. Syaoran being mean and all. I can't blame him and you can't blame me either ohohohoho!

Disclaimer: I ain't own anything not mine. So if you got a problem with that. That's not my problem it's yours.

Chapter 1: Shaoran's changed.

"I wonder what's making Shaoran so gloomy; he hasn't spoken to me since this morning." Sakura sighed as she passed through the halls of Tomoeda High School.

"Don't worry Sakura, he'll get over it." Tomoyo assured.

As they entered their classroom, Sakura spotted Shaoran in his chair, his eyes somehow meeting each other.

She walked up to him. She sat on his chair which was in front of him.

"Hi, Shaoran!" Sakura greeted.

He didn't answer. Instead, his face grew angrier.

"What's wrong?" she asked worriedly. Shaoran looked away.

"What's wrong?" She repeated, the hint of worry was evident in her voice. She didn't know any reason for him to be so moody. He seemed to be perfectly fine yesterday.

Just then, their teacher came in, everybody rushed to their seats. Sakura slowly faced the teacher.

"What's wrong with him?" Sakura wondered.

"Good Morning class." Ms. Nikawa greeted, "I have a surprise for you. we have a new exchange student from California. Please come in Marian."

A girl with long blonde hair entered the room, her bright silver ayes resting on Shaoran.

"You may seat anywhere you like." Ms. Nikawa gleefully said.

Marian took the chair which was beside Shaoran.

Sakura turned at her back and looked at Shaoran. His face was still as before, still tense as it was. She turned to Marian, who was seated next to him.

"So, where in California are you from?" Sakura asked politely.

"It's none of your business." She answered wryly.

Sakura's eyes widened in shock, having a new student in their class, and she being so mean.

"I'm Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura introduced herself, trying not to mind what she had just said. Marian glared at her,

"I don't care about your name or whoever you are okay? So quit annoying me!" she cried in a little voice so the teacher won't hear.

"Okay, fine." Sakura replied. She returned to her original position.

"Pretty mean for a girl new in class." She thought.

Suddenly, a weird sensation came over her.

"Shaoran, can you feel something?" she asked, serious this time.

"Can you just stop bugging me? You are so irritating!" He choked.

Sakura's eyes widened more, Shaoran wasn't like this, he's cold but not mean. She bowed down, trying to shake the tears away, what did she do? He wasn't like this before...

"Sakura-chan, are you okay?" Tomoyo asked.

"Oh, yes.. I'm fine." she replied. But still, there was the strange aura that lingered. It seemed so near but she couldn't pinpoint where it was.

"Hey, Sakura-chan. wait up!" Tomoyo called. Sakura stopped walking and waited for her.

"I thought Shaoran would take you home today."

"Yeah. but I couldn't find him, and I guess he was angry at me."

"Why?"

Sakura paused for a moment.

Can't you just stop bugging me! You're so irritating!

"I don't know."

Tomoyo accompanied Sakura on her way home; they passed through Penguin Park.

"Hey, isn't that Shaoran?" Tomoyo asked. She waved her hands at him and dragged Sakura with her.

Shaoran was with Marian, the new girl.

"Hi Li-kun." Tomoyo greeted cheerfully.

Shaoran gave her a cold stare.

"What's the matter Li-kun. are you angry at us?" Tomoyo asked.

Shaoran.

"Go away, what are you doing here!" he cried.

"Shaoran-kun. I thought you would take me home-today" Sakura said.

"I said go away!" he cried. Marian was just grinning behind him.

"Shaoran-kun! Why? Are you angry at me? Tell me!" Sakura said shaking him, but he pushed her away.

"GO AWAY!" he cried over and over again, tears were streaming down his cheeks, but he didn't know why.

"Come on Sakura-chan. let's just go." Tomoyo said, helping her up.

"But Shaoran-kun." she whimpered, looking at him.

"Never mind him, let's just go."

Sakura slowly stood up and followed Tomoyo.

"I'm.sorry." Shaoran whispered, after Sakura and Tomoyo were out of sight,

Marian helped him up, "Come on Shaoran, stand up." she said, which he obediently followed.

"That was very good."

"Sakura-chan. are you okay?" Tomoyo worriedly asked.

Sakura kept silent.

GO AWAY!

"Why. did he do that?" Sakura asked.

"I don' know, but there has to be a reason."

"Tadaima!" She greeted. Sakura placed her bag on a chair and slumped lazily on the chair.

"Hello, Sakura-chan." her father greeted, "I baked muffins for you in the oven, Yukito will be coming over for dinner."

"Oh really?" Sakura beamed dreamily.

Just then, Touya and Yukito burst in the door.

"Good afternoon, Sakura-chan!" Yukito greeted, "I bought you something." He took out a pink box out from his bag; it was wrapped in a white silk ribbon, with sakura prints on it.

"Wow! It's. so beautiful!" Sakura exclaimed. "Open it." Sakura carefully untied the package and opened the box, it was a cute brooch, it was formed like a full bloomed sakura flower.

"It's. It's. Thank you, Yuki-chan!" she said, hugging Yukito.

"Oh actually, Touya-chan helped me with that."

"Thank you onii-chan!"

"Whatever."

"Yum! That was a very good meal!" Yukito praised as he placed down his emptied noodle soup.

"Thank you very much, Yukito-san, but do you like some muffins? I baked them a while ago, I'm sure they're done by now." Fujitaka said.

Yukito's smile became wider, "Oh, sure! I would love some muffins!" He cried out.

"Okay, wait right here and I will get some."

"I'll help you with that, otou-san." Touya offered.

"Okay."

They went out from the room.

"Arugigatou gozaimasu, Yukito-san. for your wonderful gift." Sakura timidly said.

"Oh, it was nothing." he replied, with a soft smile.

"Here come the muffins!" Touya announced, placing a truck full of muffins on the table. At once, Yukito started gobbling it up.

"Oh! These are good!" he said, munching on it endlessly.

"Oh, Yuki-chan, everything edible tastes good---according to you." Touya stated, sweat dropping.

Yukito, just continued gobbling.

Suddenly, the events that had happened that day came flashing into Sakura's mind.

Go away!

The very thought of it brought tears to her eyes; she stood up from the table and began to walk up to her room.

"Where are you going, Sakura?" Fujitaka asked.

"I'm going to my room, please excuse me." she hurriedly ran up to the stairs and locked the door behind her.
