After some discussion, mostly on Sakura's part, as I agreed with her, Sakura decided to tell Tomoyo her 'situation'.
"Sakura," Tomoyo said gently, pausing in thought. "I'm by your side, as is Syaoran obviously. We'll figure out a way to end this. Together."
We were currently in my Living room. To be precise, Tomoyo sat on the couch, Sakura paced in front of her and I was leaning against the doorway.
Sakura stopped her pacing a moment later. "Really? You - You mean you don't want nothing to do with me?"
I've never understood the female mind in the slightest. I'm not even going to pretend I have.
But Sakura is in a league of her own. Hands down. No competition. No one I've ever met even comes close.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Ahem, that's besides the point.
Unsurprisingly, I haven't the slightest clue as to how she even ended up at that solution. It does explain why she's been sulking since we've had the discussion.
Hey, it's not like I don't ask her things. With this girl's downs she may have misplaced her lip gloss, sometimes its best not to ask.
"You are my closest friend," she stood, looking Sakura in the eye. "If you're in danger, I'm going to do everything in my power to help you."
Although they were standing mere inches apart, Sakura launched herself at Tomoyo, hugging her.
Somehow Tomoyo managed to keep her balance. Guess she's used to it.
The two of them would be a perfect example of yin and yang -in the complimentary way- which is probably why they get along so well. Tomoyo is calm and collected where Sakura is an emotional hurricane.
"Syaoran-kun," I look up to find them eyeballing me. I don't think I want to know what they're thinking, so I'd better- "Group hug."
I laugh reflexively, "absolutely not." The females in my family have seen to it to make me hate hugs. Even if there are just two of them, it's not-
"I think Syaoran looks lonely over there, ne Sakura?"
She grins. "I know how to fix it!"
And somehow I end up being chased around my own living room by two crazy girls.
See what I mean? Hurricane.
After a few minutes of aimlessly running around the living room I realize that it wasn't so aimless. They pushed me towards a corner.
Sakura giggles triumphantly. "Got you."
I smirk back, "that's what you think."
I back away from them, judging the amount of space I have, which is quickly depleting.
Glimpsing the corner directly behind me I decide its time to change direction and head forward.
Suddenly, I catch Tomoyo's smirk behind Sakura and watch as she 'stumbles' all but shoving Sakura at me. With a surprised little gasp she grabs the back of the couch steadying herself.
Much like the first time we met, we collided. Hard.
Again she was on top of me.
Again she was straddling me.
The difference this time around, the Major difference that makes it stand out from the other times, is that this time - we're kissing.
If you can even call it that.
Before I have time to properly blink she bolts from the room.
A door slams.
I groan as I sit up, my eyes instantly finding Tomoyo's mildly shocked expression.
She doesn't fool me. At all.
I may be useless when it comes to girls but I can spot manipulation.
"What are you trying to accomplish here Tomoyo."
She frowns slightly at my demand, probably because the number of people who have demanded something from her has now increased to One. "I don't think I know what you mean." She smiles and excuses herself to check on Sakura.

Several hours later, a knock sounds at my door. Its already after 12. Yeah, yeah, sleep is good, yada yada, whatever.
"Syaoran? Are you awake?" She calls softly a moment later.
"Come in." I watch Sakura open the door and creep into the room, as I sit up. She looks up and freezes, her face flushing.
"Where are your clothes?"
I smirk reflexively. "I just got out the shower." Two hours ago.
"I heard your shower over an hour ago." she retorts.
I stare at her a moment. "You can't hear my shower from your room."
She flushes darker; you can't pass out from blushing too hard, can you?
"I was going to talk to you earlier but I heard the water running, so I went back to my room and fell asleep but I just woke up and came to see if you were still awake." She said that in one breath mind you. That's what I think she said.
I can't help it, so I laugh. A few moments later I calm down and so has she: there's only a slight pink tinge to her cheeks.
"Are you finished yet?" she huffs.
I shake my head as a few more laughs escape and slide over, patting the bed beside me for her.
Instead of sitting, she grabs the nearest pillow and whacks me with it. "Stupid boys and their stupid brains and their stupid testosterone and... Stupid!" A hit accompanies each word. Thank God its only a pillow, otherwise I might be dead.
"You done?"
Sakura stares at me a moment, her eyes seem to sparkle though it may just be the light. (Ignoring the fact that the light is behind her. If anyone's eyes are sparkling from the light, its mine and my eyes don't sparkle. End of story.)
She raises the pillow once more and without warning I pull her to me, pressing my face to her stomach. She's wearing the shirt with the teddy bear I had given her what seems like years ago, but was only a few months; it smelt of laundry detergent and Sakura. I hear the pillow plop on the bed before her hands fall to my hair.
"I'm sorry," my voice rumbles through her slight form at the close contact.
"I overreacted," she sighs in reply, already knowing what I mean. "It was just an accident. And Tomoyo did apologize."
I'm not sure if she realizes, but I was there when Sakura should have knocked her over. Tomoyo didn't so much as tip over. I still don't buy that whole 'tripping' thing.
She's got a plan of her own...
Between her and Frankie, I'm not sure which one is more of a threat.
