Chapter 4

Tomoyo POV

"And what? What is it Tomoyo-chan?"

I took a deep breath before speaking. "Sakura-chan… your otou-san and onii-chan, were in a car accident. It seems someone crashed into them." I noticed that Sakura had a blank look on her face. "Sakura-chan? Do you hear me? Do you understand? They aren't late Saku-chan."

I made my voice as delicate as delicate as I could, I was trying so very hard to be gentle, trying to deliver the news as best and as easily as possible. We couldn't have Sakura breaking down again. We simply couldn't. I noticed Eriol staring at us even as Sakura and myself stared at each other. Suddenly Sakura started laughing. And I mean really laughing. Eriol was the first to speak.

"Sakura-chan?"

"What are you talking about Tomoyo-chan? That simply can't be! You're lying."

This was bad.

"Sakura-chan! Think about it! I'm your best friend, why would I lie about something like this?"

"I…I… I don't know, you just are! I don't know why you are doing this Tomoyo-chan, but I would like to be left alone now!"

This said she ran out of the living room and up the stairs. A few seconds later we heard her door being slammed shut. I heard Eriol sigh and saw him run a hand through his hair. I finally broke.

"She hates me now!"

Eriol sat next to me. "No darling, she doesn't hate you! She's just scared to face the truth. Somewhere deep down, she knows that what you just told her is true, but she's not ready, nor does she want to be, to face it."

"The what are we supposed to do Eriol?"

Eriol POV

What are we supposed to do?

The question ran through my mind, over and over again. There was just no way to avoid it. Sakura was going to break one way or the other. She had no more family left. Blood family, that is. She knew that Tomoyo and I would always look out for her, but at the same time, we all knew that that was not enough.

"Eriol?" I hadn't realized I was staring off into space, and Tomoyo was still expecting an answer.

"I don't know love"

She sighed and leaned into my side as I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her hair.

"Don't worry love, we'll figure something out."

"I think we should stay here with her. I don't want her to be all alone in the house."

"I agree. You should call your mom and let her know that you'll be staying over."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

I watched her stand up and walk a little further away. I leaned back on the couch and put my arm over my eyes. We were in a real predicament here. Last time Sakura broke down like this it was terrible. It took months for her to gain a liking for living again, and even then it was nothing compared to her previous cheerful self. She had changed; a large part of her had left along with Syaoran. And now that her family was gone there was no telling how much would be left of the happy Sakura, or whether there would be any left of her at all.

Tomoyo finished her call.

"My mom said its fine. We should get ready to sleep. It's still kind of early but we need to get as much rest as possible since we'll be dealing with Sakura-chan tomorrow."

"Good idea. Where are we going to sleep?"

"Well, we can probably crash here in the living room. The love seat should be long enough for me, and you can have the longer couch for yourself. I think I know where to find some blankets and extra pillows. Hang on…"

She walked upstairs, as quietly as she could. I heard a door open and some very light shuffling. A couple of minutes later, she came back down, in her arms a couple of blankets and two pillows.

"This should be good enough!"

I grabbed the stuff from her arms and set our couches/make-shift beds. When I was done I turned to her and noticed that her face was very red.

"What's the matter love?"

She started playing with the ends of her hair. "I was just thinking about how we don't have any sleeping clothes, and it'll probably get really hot later so…"

I could see the problem. Although Tomoyo and I had been dating for about 3 and a half years, we still hadn't gotten very far in our relationship physically. Neither she and I were ready for that yet, so I could see why she would be nervous at the thought of having to remove a couple of layers so that we might comfortably get a good night's rest.

"Well, as long as we stay covered we should be okay right? I will probably only take off my shirt (obviously shoes and socks too) and since you are wearing a dress (the dress it's kinda long here, which for sleeping would be uncomfortable)… well, isn't there something that you could borrow from Sakura?"

My face had started getting red as well. The thought of sharing a room with my half-naked girlfriend suddenly sounded very appealing.

"Yeah. I mean besides the fact that she is not talking to me and thinks I'm a liar. Sure I'll go ask her right now" she said sarcasm heavy on her voice.

"Okay, how about this. You can wear my shirt. It should be long enough to cover you, but short enough so that you'll be confortable. Is that alright?" I felt my blush increase at the thought of my girl in my shirt.

"Alright" She said, suddenly acting very shy.

"Okay then." As I started to button down my shirt, there was a knock on the door. I sighed quietly to myself as I glanced at Tomoyo wondering if she had called anyone else. She shrugged at me, so I went to get the door, Tomoyo right behind me.

As I opened the door I heard Tomoyo gasp.
