School gate:
Tomoyo, Sakura, Eriol, Syaoran and Meilin are at the school gate, talking of their plans.
"Sorry, 'Kura, I'm going somewhere with Syao and Mei today, so I can't go with you in the ice cream parlor." Tomoyo said.
"No, it's okay. I'll just go by myself." Sakura said. Tomoyo shook her head. She looked at Eriol. She walked towards him. She held his arm then she pushed him a little far away from them. Eriol is being dragged and he's confused.
"Ne, ne, Eriol, can you go with 'Kura?" Tomoyo asked, smiling. Eriol looked at her.
"Where and why?" Eriol said, confused.
"Hmm, in the ice cream parlor and you should do this so you can get to know her better." Tomoyo said, smiling.
"Well, umm, sure but where are you going, anyways?" Eriol asked. She looked away.
"Well, it's a secret!" Tomoyo said, sticking her tongue out. He sighed.
"Fine, whatever, and please don't tell her that I like her, ne." Eriol said. She nodded, smiling. She, then, dragged him back to them.
"Problem solved, 'Kura can go with Eriol in the ice cream parlor" Tomoyo said, she had a peace sign. Syaoran looked at her. She caught his gaze then she winked. He sighed. She walks towards Syaoran but she felt dizzy. She's about to fall when Syaoran caught her.
"Is she okay? Gosh, what happened to her? Did she faint?" Sakura asked, really worried. Eriol put his hand on her shoulder.
"She fainted; Li-kun will take care of her, right?" Eriol asked. Syaoran looked at him. He gave him a little smile then nodded.
"You go ahead, Sakura. I'll handle her and I'll send her home immediately when she woke up." Syaoran said, smiling lightly. She nodded but she's still worried. Meilin called for the car. After a minute of so, it arrived.
"Take care of her, Syaoran-kun." Sakura said. He nodded then goes inside the car.
Hospital:
"Is she okay, doc?" Meilin asked. The doctor looked a little trouble.
"Well, she's over-fatigued and it seems that her health problem got a little worse." The doctor said. The two of them sighed in relief that it's nothing like her time or anything.
"Thanks, doc, but is there anything we should do and shouldn't do?" Syaoran asked.
"Well, you have to keep her happy and don't give her something she'll worry for." The doctor said. The two of them nodded then muttered,
"Thanks, doc, we'll keep that in mind."
The doctor nodded and then he goes back to his office.
"Mei, send her back to their mansion one she woke up and don't give any word to Sakura about this. Okay?" Syaoran asked. She nodded. He kissed Tomoyo's forehead.
"Take care, 'lil sis." Syaoran said. He turned to Meilin then nodded. He goes somewhere.
(She's not his sis or something, he just acts like that towards her, so don't get confused.)
Ice cream parlor:
"Ne, Eriol-kun, what do you think of Tommy?" Sakura asked. They're now eating their ice cream. He looked at her, surprised.
"Well, she's nice, pretty and she's smart also." Eriol said. Sakura nodded, slowly.
"Do you like her?" Sakura asked. He blushed.
"Of course, I like her, she's a good friend." Eriol said, blushing. Sakura looked at him suspiciously.
"Not that like. I mean as in like a lover." Sakura said. He blushed, again.
"I don't know, I just met her, after all." Eriol said, blushing. Sakura looked at him.
"I don't believe you. Then, why are you blushing?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not blushing. I'm just surprised." Eriol said.
-Should I tell her that I like her? Maybe, I should. I don't want her getting any ideas-
"Umm, Sakura-san, actually, I have someone I like but it's not Tommy." Eriol said. She looked at her.
"Really, that's a shame." Sakura said, disappointed.
"What do you mean?" Eriol asked.
"Well, you two look so cute together." Sakura said, dreamily. He blushed.
"Umm, well, it can't be helped." Eriol said.
"Anyway, so do I know this girl you like?" Sakura asked, clueless.
"Yeah, you know her." Eriol said. Suddenly, someone interrupted them.
"Excuse me, are you Saku-chan?" The voice said. They looked at the right side. She gasped.
"Ryo-kun!" Sakura exclaimed. She runs toward him, and then she hugged him tightly.
"Sa-saku-chan, need air!" Ryo said. She let go of him.
"When did you arrive?" Sakura asked. He smiled.
"Before that, why don't you introduce me to your friend?" Ryo asked. She looked at Eriol.
"Yeah, I totally forgot that." Sakura said. Holding Ryo's hand, she runs back to the parlor.
"Eriol-kun, this is Ryo-kun, Ryo-kun, this is Eriol-kun." Sakura said. They shake hands.
"So, when did you arrive?" Sakura repeated.
"This lunch time, I really want to see my squirt." Ryo said. Sakura laughed.
"You know, you're so mean towards her." Sakura said. Eriol wondered who this 'squirt' is but of course, he didn't mutter a word.
"Oh, sorry, Saku, I'll see you later. Nice meeting you, Eriol-san." Ryo said. He nodded. Ryo waved and they waved back.
"So, can I walk you home?" Eriol asked. Sakura thought for a while then she nodded.
Mansion:
"Thanks for walking me home, Eriol-kun." Sakura said, smiling.
"Umm, no big deal, later, Sakura-san." Eriol said. She nodded. She walked inside then she saw Tomoyo.
"Tommy, how are you feeling?" Sakura asked. She smiled.
"I'm fine, maybe I'm just tired." Tomoyo said, smiling gently.
"Anyway, I saw your brother." Sakura said.
"Are you talking about Ryo-nii?" Tomoyo asked. She nodded.
"I don't know where he wandered off after our talk." Sakura said. Tomoyo nodded slowly.
"I think I know where he is." Tomoyo said. She looked at her, as if saying 'where'.
"He's in mom's house. That idiot, he didn't even bother to say hello to me." Tomoyo said. Sakura laughed.
"Actually, he said he want to see his squirt." Sakura said. Tomoyo laughed.
"That idiot, he still didn't change. No wonder Touya-nii and he are so alike." Tomoyo said. They laughed.
"Anyway, I'm heading to bed; I'm a little bit tired today." Tomoyo said, smiling. Sakura nodded.
"Oh, it's your right to rest. Sweet dreams, Tommy." Sakura said, kissing her cheek.
