Life Couldn't Have Been More Worthwhile

" Good morning students." said Mizuki sesei.

Miss Mizuki was the math teacher, " Kinomoto san, I remember that you handed over your homework, but I can not find it anymore."

The whole class was staring at Sakura questioningly, and a particular girl, knowingly.

"B-but, I did submit the homework!" Sakura said in a defensive tone, flailing her arms to emphasize on the fact.

" I know that, miss Kinomoto, but I also know that somebody has played a prank on you.

Once I find out who it is, I will punish that student. So don't worry, I will ask you questions verbally, and if you fare well, then you will

receive your grade accordingly for the class-assignment."

' Hm... the plan didn't work! Now plan B. I will accuse Syaoran of doing it, but Syaoran will not know I was behind it all, Sakura will

be mad at him, and I will try to appease Syaoran.' thought Ayume.

" Attention all students, the excursion is for two weeks, and we're going to the Kitadake hill station, near Mt. Fuji yama."

Across the whole class erupted a deafening noise, everyone was excited, the only person who didn't react was the frowning young

boy. He felt left out, he had never traveled for fun to any tourist spot in his life. All his life he had been trained to become one of the finest

princes of China, he didn't know what 'fun' really meant. To him , going to a hill station was just a waste of time, while the others were

thinking of what they would do, he had already decided not to go there.

" So fill up the forms , get them signed by your guardians/parents, and bring them tomorrow. Day after tomorrow we shall leave for the

trip by bus, come to school by 8:30am."

" Hope I don't miss the bus!!" said Sakura. "Well you won't dummy, cause you'll stay the previous night at my house! So that you never

miss the bus!!" said Tomoyo impatiently.

' That's another reason to say Hooeee!!!' said a sweat-dropping Sakura.

During lunch-break, Chiharu had a quarrel with Yamazaki .

" What happened Chiharu chan?" Sakura asked. "Yamazaki was misbehaving with Syaoran unnecessarily! So I told him I didn't like the

way he talked to Syaoran. He got mad at me!"

" Its ok. I mean , who wouldn't misbehave with Li! He's so, I don't know...!!!!" Sakura frowned " I really have no words to describe

him!"

------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

Sakura was walking back to her house. Again she felt somebody was following her.She stopped, looked around, and went on walking.

' Hoe, I can't see anyone here!'

Suddenly, somebody grabbed her by the hand twisted it and closed her mouth with the other hand skillfully. "Don't scream he said in a

dangerous whisper.

She went pale in fright! She was struggling to break free , the more she tried, the more the person twisted her arm deliberately, so that

she understood that there was absolutely no way out. " So, where do you think you were going? All alone?"the man asked, sending a

chilly shiver down her spine. " Let go of me!"

" Now why do you think I would do that?" he asked lazily, but suddenly his facial expression changed from one that of calmness to that

of fear, Sakura looked up to see what caused this to occur.

Suddenly some one shouted sharply " You want to know why you should let her go? huh?"

Dusk had settled by then, it was dark, so Sakura couldn't see who that person was, it seemed that the person also didn't want to be

seen, especially by her. Her captor fled from the scene, so did the other person.

---------------------------------------------------

----------------

" Sakura , is something bothering you? You always tell me everything. " said Kero, noticing how Sakura was quiet after returning from

school.

" Maybe I'll tell you some other time." was her vague reply.

------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------

In the morning::-

"hoooeee", our favourite anime character screamed because she forgot to get the form signed by her father.

" Kero chan." Sakura said pleadingly.

" Yes?" Kero replied.

" You are my guardian, ..."

"So?"

"So... could you sign here?"

"Did somebody ask for my autograph cause I'm the cool blah blah blah...( you know) ?"

Sakura found this to be a good excuse to make Kero fill up the form and sign it as well.

" S-sort of."

" Yea!!!!Wai wai wai!!!( the sounds Kero made in the episodes when he was happy or excited) Let me have a look at the form."

" Uh, there's absolutely no need for that!"

"Sign it here, and ...there, turn the page, yeah over there, and the last one right at the bottom, that's it."

Suddenly Kero realized what this form was all about. " Isn't this the form which your father was supposed to sign, I mean it says Guardian's signature/ parent's signature! Sakura you made a mistake!!"

" No.. calm down, its ok. "

"No its not ok, you were lying to me!!"

" Sakura sprinted out of the room and then ran outside, put on her roller blades and hit the road before Kero could tear her into pieces!

' Phew, that was close!'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------

"So Sakura , did you bring the form?" asked Tomoyo. "Yeah." she said remembering how long it took to convince Kero to sign it.

"Can I see it? Did you check if your dad missed out any blank spaces alloted for the signatures? " Tomoyo asked.

"Yeah , but don't show it to others." Sakura warned.

Tomoyo glanced at the form and started giggling hard. " Oh my gwad!!!!fffffssha hahaha!!!"

"Shh !! Tomoyo!! you're gathering unwanted attention!!" Sakura whispered uneasily knowing Tomoyo wouldn't stop laughing.

" Good morning everyone. " said Mizuki sensei, " So hand over the forms now!"

"So only a few students are not going, ... I'm calling out their names, please respond. Mayumi Sato, she has fever, Akiko Minamoto , her

grandfather expired yesterday, and Syaoran Li, who is present today." She looked at Syaoran, expecting a feasible explanation for not

going for the excursion.

" I have never liked the idea of traveling just to enjoy. If there is no adventure or hardship, I feel bored." he answered.

" That's weird!!" Sakura muttered under her breath. Unfortunately Syaoran heard that.

" Shut up!!!" Syaoran whispered or so he thought, ( a little too loud though!).

The whole class just stared at him, " To whom did you say that? Besides it seems you had the guts to hide miss Kinomoto's homework

in your locker, now don't look at me like that! A student of this class has seen you doing it.Would you care to explain as to why you did

such an immature impractical thing like that?"

By then the whole class was gasping, and Sakura looked livid, she looked at him in the eye, but there she found different story,

Syaoran looked completely taken aback, his jaw dropped! ( not literally stupid!) .

" I didn't do anything... I know its hard to believe for you Kinomoto, but I swear I didn't do a thing, I don't even know which sums you

had done there! And why would I of all people want to peek at your homework on math!! I mean I'm good in math!" he was trying his

best to make Sakura understand his point.

Sakura didn't look at him, she was confused...' who could have done this to me?'

"Well, I think its upto miss Kinomoto to believe you." said Mizuki sensei. "Kinomoto san, if you feel he is guilty please inform me

immediately, he will be taught the rough way."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------

During lunch-break Syaoran kept on saying "I seriously didn't do anything, I may have been rude to you but I didn't..."

Sakura was ignoring him, not because she was mad, she just wanted to think alone.Away from everyone.

"That's enough, if this does not convince her, forget it. Lets go and have lunch." said Ayume.

" You and your lunch, just go to hell, can't you see? My reputation is at stake." Syaoran shouted " All because some liar wanted to ruin

my day."

Ayume left the room ' That stupid fool, apologizing to another fool...'

"It's ok, I was also rude , I just need some time to think who could have done this." said Sakura " that person must really hate me!"

" Then I could help you if you want, " said Syaoran .Sakura looked surprised, but smiled at him,"ok".she said.

Then after realizing what he said he corrected " I mean... if we don't find that person I'll still be in trouble!"
