Then Sakura lied on her bed, I'I wonder what Syaoran's number at the dorm
is...'/I she thought.br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
IMeanwhile at the dorm.../I
p
Sir Van had just gotten out of the bathroom.
p
"Ahh, how refreshing." he told himself.br
Syaoran looked at him curiously, "Sir, you took so long inside. How
come?"br
He smiled at him, "Because Syaoran," he said in as-a-matter-of-fact way. "I
love taking a bath."br
Syaoran looked at him weirdly.br
"I love taking a bath because it feels like all my problems are being
washed away..." he added, acting dramatic. "It feels like the water is
purifying me, my body and soul..."br
"I didn't know you could talk that deep, sir." Syaoran commented.br
"Why thank you Syaoran. Your not such a snobbish boy I thought you were."
said Van as he patted Syaoran's head.br
Syaoran grumbled.br
"Oh hey, I got an idea!" he exclaimed.br
Syaoran looked at him with a blank expression in his face.br
"Why don't we have dinner outside. My treat." he told him.br
"You planned for this, didn't you?" Syaoran asked him.br
Van laughed, "How did you figure out?" he asked.br
"I was wondering why you were wearing pants..." he whispered as he pointed
his teacher's pants.br
He laughed louder, "I knew you'd figure it out." he told him. "So how does
Cherry Blossom cafe sound?" he asked Syaoran.br
"That sounds fine, but I gotta change." he said as he marched to the
bathroom.br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
Meanwhile, Sakura was sitting on her window sill. She was feeling the wind
blow through her hair. She looked in the dark clouds.
p
"Kero, it seems like it's going to rain..." she whispered to Kero.br
Kero didn't reply, he was too busy playing video games.br
She sighed, "Ohh Kero."br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
Then Syaoran and Van went to the Cherry Blossom cafe to have their dinner.
As they got there, they sat down and Van waited for the waiter to come near
them. When the waiter went to their table he handed them the menu.
p
"What will you two sirs have?" he asked.br
"I will have two baked chickens, four cups of rice, a plate of salad, two
bowls of corn soup, two large glasses of pepsi and... And that's it." Van
ordered.br
Syaoran looked at him with his mouth wide open.br
Van looked at him and smiled, "Don't mind me, Syaoran. I'm just hungry,
that's all." he told him. "What about you? What would you like?"br
"M-me?" he gulped. "I'll just have carbonara and a glass of pepsi."he said
shyly.br
Van laughed, "Oh Syaoran. You won't get full with that. Don't worry, I'm
not waiting for anything in return."br
He shook his head, "No thanks sensei, this is enough for me." he told
him.br
Van eyed him suspiciously, "Your on a diet, aren't you Syaoran?" he
asked.br
Syaoran looked and the floor and shook his head.br
"Fine, that'l be all waiter." he told the waiter.br
When the waiter left, Syaoran let out a big sigh.br
While waiting for the food, why don't we talk Syaoran." Van suggested.br
"Sure sir." Syaoran agreed.br
"First off, I want you guys to just call me Van. Don't be so formal. I'm
just like a big brother to all of you guys." he told Syaoran.br
"Sure...Van." Syaoran mutterd.br
"Have you and Sakura known each other since your youth?" he asked.br
"We met when we were ten years old. At first I didn't think she'd be my
friend. I thought before that she was a pest." he said, then he paused.
"But things change. Unchanging things are boring..." he whispered. "We soon
became friends, good friends. But I left the same year, I just came back
yesterday." he told him.br
"Hmm... Interesting. So you guys must know each others secrets."br
Syaoran blushed, "Yeah, you can say that..."br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
Sakura was finished eating her noodles and she took one of her notebooks
and a pen. She scribbled on it... Kero stopped playing and went to her, he
looked at her drawing.
p
"Ne Sakura, that looks a bit like Yue." he told her.br
Sakura smiled, "Yue... I hope he's alright..." she whispered.br
Then Kero patted her shoulder, "Stop worrying." he told her. "Eriol himself
said Yue would heal soon, it would just take time."br
Sakura nodded her head and continued drawing...br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
Van and Syaoran's food arrived,
p
"Ikadakimas!" said Van.br
"Ikadakimas." Syaoran whispered.br
They they ate. br
While Van was eating, Syaoran stared at him. He smiled.
p
I'When Van eats, he reminds me of Yukito.'/I Syaoran thought.
Van notices Syaoran looking at him, he looked at him back and smiled, "What
is it, Syaoran?" he asked.br
He shook his head, "Nothing, you just remind me of a friend." he
whispered.br
"I told you, don't mind me, I"m just hungry." he told Syaoran, taking
another bite.br
Syaoran laughed a bit and he continued eating.br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
Sakura stood up from her bed and opened her door.
p
"Where are you going Sakura?" Kero asked her.br
"I'm just going to return this bowl downstairs and get a glass of water."
Sakura told him. "I'll be right back." she said as she went out and closed
the door.
p
She walked down the stairs. She remembered the night she fell down the
stairs. It was Yukito who aided her, cared and carried her. Then she
overheard her father talking to someone on the phone. She went closer, but
didn't show herself.
p
"Thank goodness he's alright..... That's just a minor consiquence, at least
he's okay..... You won't be able to work tomorrow? How come?..... Alright,
alright, I understand..... Don't worry, I won't forget to wake up Sakura."
said her father.br
Sakura looked suspicious. I'Maybe that's brother.'/I she thought.br
"Okay, just call when you need anything..... Bye." bid Fujitaka as he put
down the phone.
p
Sakura didn't bother getting a glass of water anymore. She just placed the
bowl on the table amd went back up to her room.br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
Syaoran and Van were finished eating, Van payed the bill and they went on
their way back to the dorm. Syaoran thanked Van and Van replied that it was
nothing.br
Then, it started to rain...
p
"Oh man! It's starting to rain!" said Syaoran.br
"Come on! Let's hurry up so we won't get that wet." said Van. "We're almost
there anyway." he added.br
And they ran as fast as they could to the dorm.br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
"It's raining..." Sakura whispered as she looked out her window.br
"Hey Sakura, you need to sleep now. You still have class tomorrow." Kero
told her.br
"Alright Kero." she replied as she lied in her bed and closed her eyes.
"Good night, Kero."br
"Good night Sakura." said Kero as he went to his bed and slept.
p
While they were sleeping, it rained hard outside... In the morning,
Fujitaka went to his daughter's room. He sat on her bed and shoved Sakura's
shoulder lightly.
p
"Wake up Sakura, you have class today." he told her.br
Sakura quickly stood up, "Yukito?" she asked.br
Fujitaka smiled, "I see that you miss Yukito."br
Sakura hugged her father, "Good morning otousan." she told him.br
"Yeah, good morning. Now hurry up and get to school early." he told her
daughter.br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
Syaoran opened his eyes to see that Van wasn't at his bed. Then as he stood
up he came out of the bathroom.
p
"Ahh, how refreshing." said Van.br
"Ohayou." Syaoran greeted.br
Van looked at him, "Ohayou Syaoran." he greeted back. "Hurry up Syaoran, I
don't want to wait for you too long." said Vanbr
"Hai." he mumbled. Syoaran took his towel and went in the bathroom.br
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-br
Sakura went down her room and went to the kitchen. She looked at her dad.
p
"Otousan, where is oniisan today?"br
"He is in the hospital with Yukito. Why don't you visit them later." he
suggested.br
"Oh yeah! Got to go, dad!" Sakura said as she put on her skates, took her
bag and skated out.br
"Sakura!" her dad shouted. "You forgot to eat breakfast." he muttered.
p
Sakura skated along. She remembered to bring her clow cards this time. As
she was about to reach another crossing, she saw a car headed towards her,
she quickly took out her key.
p
"Oh key of the star, with powers burning bright, reveal the staff and shine
your light. Release!" she chanted as her star wand appeared. "Release and
dispel, 'Dash card'!" she shouted as she took out her 'Dash card'. Then she
flew through the crossing with lightning speed. "Thank you, 'Dash card'."
she whispered to herself. I'I cannoy rely on anyone anymore. I already
have the Sakura cards. I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of
me.'/I she thought as she skated along again.br
As she got to school, she saw Syaoran with Van. "Syaoran! Sir Van!" she
shouted.br
The two looked at her and smiled.br
"Ohayou Sakura." Van greeted her.br
Syaoran glared at him.br
Sakura went near them, "Ohayou sir." she replied. "Good morning, Syaoran."
she greetedbr Syaoran with a smile.br
"Oh Sakura, just call me Van. Treat me like an older brother, alright?" Van
asked his pupil.br
Sakura nodded her head childishly, "Yes Van!" she chirped. Then she pulled
Syaoran's arm, "Syoaran, we need to talk." she told him.br
"H-huh?" Syaoran muttered.br
"Bye bye Van! See you in class!" she bid her teacher bye.br
"Bye you two!" he replied.br
Sakura pulled Syaoran to a corner, "Finally," she whispers.br
"What is it, Sakura?" asks Syaoran.br
Sakura looks at the floor, "We have a problem Syaoran. It's about Y-
yukito." she mumbled.br
"What about Yukito?" he asked, holding her shoulder. "What did he do?"br
"No, it's not what you think." she replies. "He's."
p
Ito be continued.br
