"WHO THE HECK was that fuckin' girl?" Keiumi shouted at an old abandoned house. She's really angry, mad, sad, so upset… "I'm gonna get that woman for GODDAMNS sake!' Now, she lost all of her control and punches the wall real hard so that she can let her anger out. Unfortunately, this caused her right hand to bleed. He was hurt back then.

"Hajime-san… Let a grip will yaa?" A man's voice was heard towards the room. His figure could be seen through a shadow. Hi face was not clearly seen because the dark scheme of the room. "You poor thing… Look at you… you injured your hand… Are you okay darling?" As he came closer to her, he planned on touching her shoulder.

"SHUT IT you dumbass…" She slapped his hand so he would never touch her. "And what do you call me again, you're darling? As if… Go find somebody else to rat. Not me! … But I might say that you might be a little help to me Takashi."

"Just state." He said plainly.

"Just a simple favor to ask…" She came closer to her and whispered something to him…

Sakura was left alone in her classroom. The other students had gone home, but her… A bit of a loner. Come to think of it, she hadn't even talked to Tomoyo. Well, maybe for what had happened earlier.

A knock was heard. But Sakura didn't notice because of her deep in thought and absence of mind. So the person who knocked just came in.

"Are you alright, Sakura-chan…?"

Sakura's eye widened. She merely blushed when she saw the raven haired gut with the glass only inches away from her face. She was surprised so she had fallen from her chair.

"Oh. Sakura, forgive me if I surprised you. Say, are you alright?" Eriol lend his hand to Sakura to manage her to stand up. Besides, his at fault right?...

"Yeah, I'm all right. In fact, I didn't notice you in the first place. You see I…" Sakura had already stood up. "You see I…"

"Was depressed?" He asked concern. Eriol's hand travelled to Sakura's back and hugged her tight. Sakura on the other hand was surprised… Her eyes widened and her cheeks we're burning red. One of Eriol's hands was on her nape and the other was at her back to support her. Poor Sakura was trapped in this man's hug.

"You're depressed, right? You're alone at the same time. You can't even accept you're fate in Syaoran. Face it, he doesn't like you. It will only cause you heartbreak so better to forget about his feelings for him."

"Hiragizawa san…"

"Ssshhh…" She put his forefinger to Sakura's pinkish lips. "I knew about your feelings for him, since long ago. Forget him, please… I don't want to see you so sad and upset like this…" Eriol touched her cheeks…

"E…Eriol…" She was trying to hold back her tears… She faced up to Eriol. But as she did that, she can no longer hold her tears. So… a tear had fallen from Sakura's innocent and angelic face. She gets off from Eriol's hug. She covered her watery eye with her honey brown bangs.

"Sakura…"

"I… I don't know why I'm cr… crying… It's crazy right? Totally crazy… But…"

"It's okay… let that out, it's okay that way."

"Wah! Eriol…" She hugged him… "I'm sorry… I'm sorry… But I… c..can't control my tears any longer…" She sobs in Eriols arms.

"Everything will be all fine... I promise you that..." he assured her.

"Ne... Li-san... Why can't you check her and ask her yourself?" a sweet voice of a girl was heard.

"WHAT!... No...This is the way I want it to be so don't stop me..." Syaoran said. He crossed his arms and fell down on the couch anime style.

"Just how sure are you that you will say her your true feelings and confess? Ughh! Just confess to her now, and I really mean it." She stood up and knocks Syaoran's head.

"! Hey! Why did you do that for?" He acted that he was really hurt.

"You should probably just ask her in person and I don't like it when you order me to set you up with her to go on a date…"

"Please…"

"And what would Sakura think? That I'm going out with you? Oh brother!" She rolled her eyes desperately.

"Look, okay! You see I don't want to do it alone because he might reject my invitation so I'm asking you this really big favor…"

"Why won't you do it yourself alone and check out what will be the result? Well, I might think that it would be 99% sure…"

"But…"

"Try it… I'm going home now… I'm glad we have this talk…"

She went out now of Syaoran;s apartment.

'But… I can't do it myself… I'm… I'm afraid that she would reject me….I'm useless…

I'm a coward…
