PART TWO: CLEANING MESS
It was Syaoran's first day at doing most chores and he had a whole lot of work to do. First thing he had to do was make them all breakfast so he looked at what he could make Sakura first. They didn't have much to work with but he could make some oatmeal for her so she wouldn't be completely starving. So he went to grab a pot and started filling it with different things. He made some powdered seasoning with brown sugar and put it in with all the grains and water, put it on the stove and mixed it until it became nice and creamy. He tasted it to make sure that it didn't taste awful and put it into a bowl which was kept into the fridge until the stuffed animal told him Sakura had woken up.
Now was the question of what he was going to eat. He decided on something simple so he pulled out some eggs and made himself some cheesy eggs with some chopped vegetables. While he was eating the eggs, he heard someone scream so he figured that Sakura finally woken up. He headed towards her room with the oatmeal and some milk when he was almost hit with the door. Sakura was in her uniform and yelling at Kero for making her late.
"Sakura, don't yell at the stuffed animal. The entire group thought it would be best for you to stay home for a few days while getting better. Now get into bed and eat this oatmeal that I have for you." Syaoran said with a sigh of relief that she was at least a little energetic.
Sakura looked at the figure in her doorway and screamed once again. He looked startled and realized why she had screamed, she was in the middle of getting dressed for school. Therefore, she had on the white shirt but still had on her pajama shorts that were close to being taken off. "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!? GET OUT OF MY ROOM NOW!" Syaoran put the oatmeal on her desk and ran out of her bedroom. This is going to be a long day indeed.
When she was done dressing she came out and looked for Syaoran. Sakura found him in the living room looking for a rag to start dusting with when she interrupted. "Sorry for the yelling this morning, Syaoran. You startled me and I didn't think so I didn't get a chance to ask what it was you were doing in my house. Also that oatmeal you made me was really good so thank you for the breakfast." Sakura looked at Syaoran and started to laugh when she saw that he looked like a stranded little puppy with no sense of where anything was in the house.
Blushing really hard Syaoran said "I'm glad you liked it. I was nominated to take care of you while you are recuperating. That also means that I'm to clean your house and live with you for the time being." Sakura gave a look of confusion and worry and Syaoran figured out way. "Don't worry. Mizuki-sensei is covering for me at school and they will be over at the end of school. Just to give us our work and see how you're doing. Now let me do the cleaning and you get into bed before you get even worse.
Sakura nods and stumbled right back upstairs and falls asleep almost as soon as she got into bed. Once Syaoran was sure that Sakura was fast asleep he went back to cleaning the house. He only did the most basic stuff at his home and used magic for the rest but with her brother and his stupid 6th sense he couldn't rely on his magic at all. So he started with the laundry, luckily there was a basket with all the
clothes in it so he could just put it in and started the machine. So he left that running while he started the dishes.
A half hour later
" There all the dishes are finished and now I need to clean the living room" Syaoran headed toward the living room when he heard a loud boom. He heads towards the noise when he hears a louder boom. Right then the doorbell rings, and he notices that school was over and lets the crew in. "Hey guys, I'm just cleaning and Sakura is currently asleep. I was actually looking for something right now but you guys can-" Boom! I look around and head towards the washing machine with everyone else behind me. "What went wrong? I did just like I do it at home. So why did it blow up?" Syaoran looks up questioningly and everyone sighed.
Just then a door creaked upstairs and Sakura came down to see what the noise was. "Sakura-chan, how are you feeling? Did you get enough rest?" Tomoyo asks with a worried face as Syaoran , Eriol, and Kaho try to magically cover up the mess before Sakura sees it.
"I'm fine Tomoyo-chan. Where's Syaoran and the others. I thought for sure Syaoran would at least stay here until I woke up." Sakura asks while holding back a cough.
"They are all in the kitchen making dinner so don't worry about a thing." Tomoyo says hoping they take care of the problem in the laundry room fast. "Let's head up to your room so you can lay down and relax before we all eat dinner." Tomoyo says praying that she won't put up another crazy story just to keep Sakura from her own living room for Syaoran's own safety.
"Fine, Tomoyo-chan. But please tell them to hurry up with what they're doing. I get bored easily with nothing to do." With this Sakura left for her bedroom and Tomoyo relaxed a bit and went to see how the others were doing.
"Eriol, a simple barrier won't work. That will only cause things to get a lot worse. You should know, Mr. Clow Reed most powerful magician of your time." Syaoran shouted and Tomoyo ran to see what happened. "Well, Mr. Chosen One of the Li clan, I wouldn't be talking if I were you. You were the one who made this whole mess in the first place." Eriol shouted while dodging water and soap that's squirting out. "At least I'm trying to handle it, unlike you who thinks it will all go away with the work of a simple barrier." Syaoran yelled also dodging water.
Tomoyo came to a stop when she saw Mizuki Kaho outside of the room just in utter shock of how the two boys were handling things. "Tomoyo-san could you possibly talk some reason in those two. Just so we don't have to call Sakura for this mess." Tomoyo nodded and walked into the mess and danger zone.
"STUPID MAGICIANS SNAP OUT OF IT" Tomoyo screamed and Syaoran and Eriol immediately stopped arguing and stared at the two women right in front of them.
"Well now that that's done, how about I take over from here" Kaho says and they just step aside to see what the teacher was doing. She walked over to the machine and unplugged it, then, she started to get the clothes out of the machine. She told Li that he didn't put the settings right so there were too many clothes and not enough water to wash them so the machine didn't like it and started to 'break down and explode' as was shown.
"Oh, then the whole problem was that the settings were wrong. I'm sorry for making such a big deal out of a small problem. Thanks a lot Mizuki-sensei for the help and could you teach me the settings so that this doesn't happen again." Syaoran asks with such a sorrowful look you'd want to sigh and give in.
"Sure Li-kun. But in return you must make sure that our little card mistress will recover soon. Classes were way to quiet with our two most gullible classmates gone, right Eriol?" Mizuki-sensei says.
"Absolutely correct, Mizuki-san. It was just not the same telling those tales without you two Li-san." Eriol says with a smile on his sadistic face. Tomoyo stands there chuckling with her video-camera in her hand.
So the gang started to head towards Sakura's room and noticed that Eriol and Syaoran were covered in water. "Come on, we should get into dry clothes. My clothes are in Toya's room, so Tomoyo, sensei, go in to see how Sakura is while me and Eriol get dressed." They agreed and Eriol finds black clothes to wear while Syaoran got into some simple green kakis and blue short sleeved shirt.
They heard laughing coming from the door next to the one they were in so they headed over to see Sakura. As they entered the room they saw that the three girls were in a game of truth or dare and were laughing at what Sakura just did or said. When they notice us in the room they immediately ask them a truth or dare. "Syaoran, truth or dare?" Sakura asks and Syaoran thinks about it very carefully. He chooses dare since with the two most sadistic people here, they would make him admit to something very secret.
"Syaoran-san, you must kiss the girl you like most at school as soon as you or she comes back. Or now if she happens to be here." Eriol says with a sick smile on his face while he and Tomoyo laugh. Syaoran goes beat red and Sakura just sits there very confused at what the second part meant.
"I I don't have anyone I like at school." Syaoran stutters only to cause more laughter among the two sadists of the elementary school.
"Why Syaoran-kun what do you mean?" Tomoyo asks and then adds, "Should we review the tapes of the missions and have you tell us the same exact thing once again." Syaoran goes even redder and his eyes go towards Sakura very quickly as she's just smiling at the group and their joking.
"I'm telling you that I don't have anyone I like so just leave me alone!" Syaoran shouts and sits down next to Sakura.
"Eriol, truth or dare?" Tomoyo asks and it didn't take as long as Syaoran to decide.
"Dare also." Tomoyo has a gleam in her eye now.
"Same exact thing as Syaoran. You must kiss the girl you like as soon as you get the chance."
"Okay." Eriol walks over to Sakura and kisses her on the cheek while Syaoran is fuming trying to not strangle Eriol for what he did.
"Sakura-chan, how about you? Truth or dare?" Mizuko-sensei asks and Sakura answers truth.
"Sakura-san, who do you like? That is, if you have someone that you like." Kaho asks and Sakura just blushes.
"Well, I um I like um. Hoe, do I really have to answer this question?" Sakura asks and Tomoyo nods saying, "Is it Tsukishiro-san or perhaps is it Li-kun?"
"It is, ano, Yukito-san" Sakura answers so soft that only Tomoyo and Syaoran can hear and Syaoran just sat there like a stone at this answer. Tomoyo recording everything just sighed at those two.
They went on like that for hours until it was about 8:30 and Tomoyo, Eriol, and Kaho Mizuki had to leave leaving the work that the two missed on the coffee table. So that Sakura could rest up a bit and Syaoran had started on the work when he passed out on Toya's bed.
While in Sakura's room
I wonder why they were all ganging up on Syaoran-kun? They were being really bizarre in the truth or dare game with all the games with me and Syaoran-kun also. It was if they were implying that we liked each other. But I don't understand, doesn't Syaoran like Yukito-san as well?
"Kero, are you still awake?" I ask
"What's up, Sakura-chan?" Kero asks flying over towards me.
"I just wanted to have company tonight and wasn't sure if you were awake." I answer.
Kero looks at me and comes right next to me, snuggling in my sheets. "Thanks, Kero-chan" I say.
"Get some rest Sakura-chan. We all just want to see you in high spirits. So focus on getting well okay. No one will be more thrilled than me and Yue, your guardians." Kero says and I just nod falling asleep myself. Kero pulls the sheets over me so my cold doesn't get worse and I mutter another thanks.
Sorry it took so long to upload. The next one will be when Sakura gets better but sees all that needs to be repaired because of Syaoran. Sakura-chan/Sakura-hime
