Sakura passed through the dark corridors of the dorm, but it did not frighten her. After all, Kero was there. It was quite strange for her to be fearless of the dark but too many things clouded her mind.
Should she tell him?
That's what she came for right? She wasn't there to see Syaoran but to tell him everything. Just incase. Just incase he didn't want it to happen. But she's sure she'd end up forgetting to tell him. Would she remember him after this? Would he remember her?
Great… Life is a mystery ain't it?
She reached the oak made door and turned the bronze door knob. There, Tomoyo's silhouette lay on the ground. She was obviously in deep slumber. The question is why was she sleeping on the mattress on the floor? Sakura sent a puzzled look to Kero, in return Keroberos shrugged. She approached Tomoyo closer and dry tear stains were made visible by moon light.
"That bastard Eriol made her cry again." She muttered to herself. A moan then came from the Tomoyo's real bed next to Sakura's. Sakura and Kero jolted with shock and fear. Something was moving. It was a shadow. A small, indefinable shadow.
'Shit! If this person catches me here, he'll know that I'm a girl! And everything will be ruined!!!'
They both crept cautiously towards it and once they were near it, Sakura flicked on the light.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
!!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!!
"Did you hear something Yukito?" Touya asked puzzled. Yukito muffled 'no' with his mouth full of somen. He took a big gulp and gave his best friend the same puzzled look.
"Why do you ask?" he asked before taking another humongous slurp from his cold noodles. Touya shrugged.
"Nothing… I thought I heard Sakura scream along with the other squirt." He explained. Yukito raised his eyebrow at him.
"I think its time for you to stop studying because, Saku-chan's in Hong Kong and she's in her room sleeping." When Yukito finished saying this, they both stood up with their eyes widened. And ran to the hall to find the magenta door. Touya harshly opened the locked door and faced an empty bed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O
"Are you crazy?! Does Touya know you're here?! You know I'm in an all boy's school right?! What are you doing here?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!!" Sakura yelled to the little girl in front of her. Tomoyo was wide awake and watched the whole sermon. She also watched the little girl become teary and red with guilt.
"Sakura, I think she's had enough." She whispered in a stern yet gentle voice as she placed her hand on the tense shoulders of Sakura.
"I know… It's just that…" She mumbled, calming down. The younger girl sniffed as she sat there quietly on Tomoyo's bed.
Sakura sighed and bent down to reach her level.
"Hey, Look Catleya. I'm sorry for yelling but do you know how worried Otousan and Touya could be right now?" She asked gently. 'Catleya' still had fear in her eyes but nodded her head without a word.
"You didn't leave a note or anything?" She asked still trying to hold her temper. Catleya shook her head again. Sakura sighed for the second time.
"We'll talk tomorrow. You sleep first. Take my bed, let Oneesan Tomoyo have her bed. She's had a rough day. I'll go call Dad. Okay?" She told the little girl. Catleya nodded and hopped on the other bed with dark blue sheets and snuggled in it.
"Gomen Nasai Oneesan" She quietly told Sakura. Sakura smiled gently and kissed the girl's forehead and tucked her in.
"See you in the morning Catlee." She whispered. It was almost midnight and they were all tired so she decided to make her phone call outside. She switched off the lights and went out through their door with a cellular in her hand. She leaned on the door and started dialing her home number.
It rang only once before Touya answered it, and it was very obvious that he noticed.
"Hey Touya, its okay, Ley-ley's here, she somehow got here. Do you know where she got the money?" Touya shrugged at the other end of the line.
"I noticed that lemonade stand she's had been making money. She's been charging triple price, she tricks all those grown ups to buy her 'juice'. Then there's the VTRs she's been going to. She was accepted in a couple of commercials. I thought she was inspired by your commercials and ads. She must have earned enough money there." He said after mindless observation. Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"A five year old doing all that? God, Oniichan you really need to stay away from the kid." She said in a low voice but then she chuckled lightly. Touya replied with a sarcastic laugh.
"I'll send her home right away. I'll schedule a flight when we could go together. I don't trust those planes with my sister." She told him.
"Fine, just take care of the little squirt."
"Hey! I thought I was the squirt?" Sakura complained full heartedly. Touya laughed.
"You're the original! But you're not little you're big." A couple of laughs came from both ends of the telephone line then it became quiet.
"Sakura, how are you?" Touya asked in a very serious tone. Sakura shrugged.
"I'm fine older brother dear. Holding on." She replied softly. He tried to smile even though she could not see him.
"I know you're having a hard time. But I know you'll do what's right. Tell him if you think it's the right thing to do, if it's what's best for both of you. And if you need help, call me. I'm here, now and forever. Okay?" He said in the most sincere voice Sakura had ever heard him do. These words touched her heart very much and with a single cheek rolling down her cheek she smiled.
"Yeah, I know that. Thanks, tell dad I miss you both. And that I love him." She said in a raspy, dry voice caught up in deep emotion.
"Of course. Take care of yourself squirt." They both laughed softly and smiled inwardly.
"Sure will, and Touya?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you. Thanks for everything." She whispered, barely audible. Touya smiled.
"No problem. It's part of my job description. Love you too Kaijuu." He replied in the same sincere voice. Sakura laughed again.
"I guess I am a monster aren't I? Bye Touya."
"bye"
And with that they both put down the phone. Sakura sighed.
"Great, now I'm homesick." She muttered to herself.

"Wake up Ley-ley." Sakura whispered as she gently shook her. The little girl shuffled in her sheets as she slowly awoken.
"Good morning." She whispered to the groggy little girl. Catleya smiled brightly.
"Ohayo" She whispered as well. Sakura smiled and gave her a small Styrofoam box.
"Here, I was trying to wake you up a while ago for breakfast but you just wouldn't budge. So I just got you some things you'd like." She told her, Catleya's eyes brightened with excitement. She opened it and various foods met her eyes.
"Thank you" She said in her sweet small voice, Sakura smiled back.
"My pleasure. Now eat up, we're going to the beach in a little while after we shop you some clothes." Sakura explained, when she mentioned the words, shop and clothes Catleya's dark green eyes shone and sparkled like giant stars. Just like Tomoyo.
"Jeez, you also need to stay away from Tomoyo. My family and friends are influencing you too much!" She muttered. Her sister was here, might as well take advantage of the time they have together right?
Sakura and Tomoyo both agreed they needed time away from the boys therefore they were going to stay in Tomoyo's beach house in China. Sakura agreed to the sand and water and Tomoyo agreed to the party life and boys. This was going to be great! No disguises, no uniforms, no boys, and most of all no Syaoran! Right? I hope so!

"Wow Ley-ley! That dress is really cute on you!" Tomoyo gushed while Catleya posed in front of them wearing a yellow sundress. Her dark chestnut brown hair and dark green eyes were brought out by her dress. Sakura nodded.
"We'll take it! And then shall we go to the beach?" She suggested grinning.
"YEAH!!!!"
