Anime: Card Captor Sakura

Title: Unexpected

Chapter 2

....................................................................................

Sakura's POV

'I wasn't able to sleep last night. That message kept me awake for the entire night! Today's even the physical examination day; how am I supposed to run in this kind of state!' I yawned as I slumped myself on my seat. 'I guess I am cursed for this whole year with that newcomer roaming around. Oh dear mother, why has this happened to me? I want to cry.' I banged my head on the desk and sighed. 'Why me?' I still asked myself, hoping that this all just went wrong. 'But...' I straightened myself on another thought. 'Who gave him my number?' I asked myself, puzzled. 'It can't be the girls in my class since... they WOULD BE fighting over him and giving my number is out of the question. And the boys? I hardly give anyone my number... since I rarely send messages. Then, it could only mean...'

"Good morning Sakura!" Tomoyo chirped happily as she went to her desk and laid her bag down. "Let's do our best in today's physical examination." She smiled; her usual innocent smile but I do think that she's hiding something from me. I glared at her; knowing my best friend, there's always something on her sleeves. "Did you just do something yesterday?" I asked. The raven-haired girl looked at me and blinked her eyes. "What do you mean?" She twirled some of her raven locks in her finger and sat down facing me. "I know you're always up to something... so spill it!" I was desperate. Tomoyo can be scary at times whenever she had planned something, especially when she would laugh like a madman—that would usually give me the shivers.

"I give up. There's no way I'd get through you." I said as the morning bell rang. "Well, time for our examination." I said as a spark of anticipation hit me. Well, at least it would take some of my burdens away, not to mention—physical assessments make me hyped up all the time. I clenched my fists with a determination to top in most of them today. "Come on Tomoyo!" I took my best friend's hand, pulled her up and we ran together to the girls' locker room to change.

Normal POV

The students started their warm ups after they have finished changing their clothes. The boys and girls were separated from each other though they would be taking the same examination; it was for the keep safe of the girls from perverted students and especially to prevent any 'nose bleed' conditions that would make them rest in the clinic and skip the whole event due to excessive loss of blood. Sakura and Tomoyo started out too, both having their own warm ups, stretching and breathing. All were excited but not as much as Sakura who just loves some physical activities since it makes her feel alive and whole; but today... might not just be her day.

The exam instructor whistled, directing all attention to her. She instructed all to group by class and form a line for an easier check- up. Everyone did so, chattering as they prepare. Afterwards they were all separated taking different tests, making them all loop, interchanging tests as they finish. Sakura's class started with aerobics, testing their flexibility. This was one of her favourites since it makes her move a lot. The class then gathered inside the gymnasium, lining up by fives and they began with a pop music which guided their rhythmic pattern as they started with a simple warm-up dance. The class followed their instructor's steps, moving with the music's beat. Sakura got in tune as well. She held her hands up high, shaking them and moved her arms slowly downwards, forming a perfect circle on her sides. 'This is the best', she said as she felt her body heat up, sweat forming from all over her small features. 'It would be great to have something like this everyday. Great for relieving stress!' The emerald eyed suggested to herself as she twirled following the instructor, her hair swayed subsequent to her moves. Then, she twirled again, but she wobbled losing her balance, breaking their formation. Tomoyo instantly noticed her and went to her side, asking if she was alright. Sakura smiled back and said that she just made a wrong turn making her off balance. "I'm fine." The emerald eyed assured and they went on with the dance. A few stretching... arms... hands... 'Everything seems to turn around...' She thought to herself, yet she still continued. A few jumps... feeling a faint breeze... moving steps sideward, and a sudden turn.

Sakura was sure to follow, yet at the sudden turn; she completely fell down and was unconscious. The whole class stopped, their instructor dashed towards the unconscious student, same with Tomoyo whose face was creased with worry. The class hovered around them, trying to see what happened but just in time before they could fully get a lot of attention, a guy with unruly brown hair picked her up in his well-built arms. "Sensei, I'm going to take her to the clinic. Please, resume what you were doing." He said with a reassuring smile and left in a hurry.

..................................................................................

"Ugh! My head hurts..." Sakura clutched her head with her left hand as she slowly opened her emerald eyes, adjusting them to the light coming from the window. 'What just happ-' she cut her trail of thoughts and vigorously straightened herself from lying down but was failed by her weakened body. Luckily a strong arm had caught her and laid her back on the bed gradually. "Stop forcing yourself." A manly voice scolded her in a calm manner. Sakura looked at her side and saw Syaoran, sitting on a chair beside her bed. "Li-kun?" She asked in a soft voice. "Where am I? What happened?" The auburn eyed placed a damp towel on the girl's forehead, thinking that it would help her cool herself for a bit. "I carried you here in the clinic like a princess." He joked truthfully and smirked. "How could I let anyone carry you when you fainted in the middle of a warm-up?" He added, taking the bowl of water to the sink, rinsing it with fresh tap water.

"I WHAT?!" Sakura panicked and tried to get up but was held down by Syaoran. "Don't you even dare." Syaoran's auburn eyes were intent. He made Sakura lie down again and tucked her to bed. "You should get some more rest." He added complimenting it with a soft smile. "But the exam..." The emerald-eyed pouted. She was totally looking forward for this day and yet this. She heaved a sigh; it was useless now since she was guarded by a very persistent person. By the way, 'how did he know that...' She stopped and glanced at him. "Don't worry, there's always next time but if you're lucky, they might re-set a date for your test. For now, get some rest. I'll tell Kaho sensei that you'll be taking the day off. Don't worry; I'll pick you up later." With that Syaoran left even before Sakura could stop him for some more questions; but the instant before he closed the door behind him he paused and whispered "I'm sorry...". The emerald eyed narrowed her eyes and closed them right after. 'Hmph! I really hate him.' She shifted to her side and gradually opened her eyes. A faint blush crept on her face as she clutched the shirt on her chest feeling the soft thump of her heart. 'What do you mean by your apology; you didn't even do anything in the first place... just that...' Sakura was getting sleepier. The cold breeze touched her gently, almost like rocking her into a lullaby. 'Just that... were you... watching me...?' She blinked a couple of times, trying her hardest to keep awake, yet she was very tired and had finally closed them in a deep sleep.

.......................................................................

The sun is setting... Sakura lied on the bed, half awake. 'I was asleep for the whole time and I missed everything.' The ticking of the clock reverberated in the quiet room. Everyone must have left already since it was almost late. She closed her eyes and opened them slowly just when a rustle on her side made her flinch and look at her side. Syaoran was there; slumped in a chair beside her bed; his head resting on the soft bed. For a moment there, Sakura just stared at him, examining him closely. 'He must have been tired.' She thought seeing how soundly he slept in that position. The chestnut-haired girl shifted her position to her side, now having a clear view of the guy beside her. 'I can clearly see his face.' The orange light coming from the window burst in rays, touching his features lightly; his face, calm and serene, like a baby taking an afternoon nap. The chestnut haired smiled, imagining him as a baby. 'He may be cute too... just that, I don't get him at all.' Sakura touched the sleeping guy's unruly hair and rustled it, feeling his soft locks intertwining through her fingers. 'His scent carried by the breeze... mint... intoxicating me.'

Syaoran suddenly woke up, brushing the sleepiness away his eyes like a little kid. "Oh, you're finally awake." He muttered after a yawn. "Princess." He smirked; he just can't enough from teasing her. Sakura instantly took her hand off his hair and lifted an eyebrow, covering what she did just a while ago. "Look who just woke up... mister." She replied, getting out of bed and straightening the bed sheets. The auburn eyed kept his smirk on his face and sat upright. "So... liking me enough to touch my hair?" He asked suddenly making Sakura turn around facing him with a mixed look. Her face turned pink, almost not visible due to the sunset but her shocked expression filled with swirling thoughts of how to answer back was evident enough to make the auburn eyed chuckle. "You really are interesting, it makes me like you even more." He stood up and took their bags from the bedside table. "It's late. I'll walk you home Hair-Fettish-Princess." Syaoran chuckled once more when he saw the looks on her small facade. It turned even more pinkish and her face marked her disbelief of what was going on.

"I'M NOT A HAIR FETTISH, YOU MORON!!!!!"

.............................................................

That night, right after Sakura had changed for her pajamas, she hurriedly sat on her desk and took out her little pink diary. Today's her "day two" of getting pissed off by that newcomer and that it maddens her even more. 'That jerk!' She flipped the pages of her little notebook and stopped on a clear blank page.

Dear Diary,

I AM SO FULL OF HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! How can he make those kinds of remarks? Just to piss me off? Oh yeah Mr. Newcomer; I'm beginning to like you a lot... I like you so much that I want to bury you on the ground, 10 feet below and cover it with concrete so that you won't be able to come up again! . Grrrr!!! I'll make sure you rot there forever! *evil laughs*............ but how will I even do that? *deep sigh*

But you know what? Today, he saved me... brought me to the clinic, placed cold towel on my forehead and made me rest for the whole day. He didn't wake me up, he even stayed by my side, falling asleep......... must have been a hard day for him... and yet.. Hmph! I don't care! I hate him and that's all that matters.

Sakura closed her diary and motioned to her bed. She turned the lights off and just laid down there, making herself comfortable. Just then, her cell phone rang, beeping a bright light. The chestnut-haired turned to her side and took her phone on top of the side table and clicked open her message.

From: Li Syaoran (aka Mr. Stalker)

Hope you already saved my number. Good night princess. My sweet little hair-fettish-cherry-blossoms. Sleep tight... ^_^

-Li Syaoran

After reading the mail, Sakura was gripping her phone tightly, almost shaking with irritation but she let it go with a deep sigh. "I'll let you off today Mr. Stalker." She returned her phone on the desk and turned around, pulling the cover up to her nose; a small smile crept on her face and a tint of flush marked visible. 'I haven't even thanked him yet...' she thought as she drifted off to sleep.

To be continued...
