What happened last time?

Syaoran looked at her with compassion. *She may have been with Henry, but she hasn't changed, and she is still cute… What are you talking about? You have to forget her!* "Don't worry Sakura, I'm here and I won't let anyone hurt you" Syaoran said. *So much for forgetting* (^^;;) Sakura now stared at Syaoran as he took out his sword. *Does he really care for me?*

Chapter 9: Just Misunderstandings

A sudden darkness surrounded them. They couldn't see anything around them except for themselves. Syaoran moved forward. "Its quiet…too quiet" A sudden figure emerged from it. Only two red eyes could be seen. It was the same beast that Sakura had chased. "Princess… you must go with my master" the beast lowly said. "What do you mean?!" Syaoran stood in front of her. "My master wants you, princess…" it continued evading Syaoran's glare. "You will not take her" Syaoran showed his sword. Sakura was surprised to see how Syaoran was reacting. "No Syaoran, you will get hurt" she begged, knowing where this could lead to. "I have to, I…" Syaoran was about to say something but got interrupted. "You will not interfere with my master's order, or you shall you die!" the beast growled. "Then lets do it" Syaoran smirked.

The creature seemed to have a sword of its own, and rose to its feet. Syaoran could only see the glimmer of it's weapon, and its eyes. They both stared for a time, and the beast started by jumping in midair, thrusting Syaoran down. He protected himself by twisting his sword. They both separated. It then attacked again trying to slash him, but Syaoran evaded it and attacked. Sakura could only see sparks from the two metals clashing together. The beast then cut through Syaoran's shoulder. He responded by a hit in the beast's body and it started dissolving away. "You may have beaten me… but my master will get you both that's for sure……"

The darkness faded away and time was normal. The teacher and students gasped as they saw that Syaoran was on his knees in the bed and that Sakura was outside standing right in front of him. "What happened?! Remember that the play is tomorrow and you have to behave!" the teacher said furiously. They both sweat dropped and started rehearsing again, but mysteriously didn't get to kiss. After the rehearsals Sakura went to catch up with Syaoran. "Syaoran?" she asked panting from running. He stopped and slowly turned around. "Yes?" he asked. "I wanted to thank you for saving me" she said smiling and hugged him unexpectedly. This made Syaoran boil red. (hehehe ^^) They broke their hug, and stared at each other. Sakura blushed at what she had just done. But then Syaoran almost fell grabbing his shoulder. "Oh no, you are hurt" Sakura said looking at his wound, "let me help" She tried to touch his shoulder. "No, I'm okay" Syaoran made her retreat. "Syaoran, don't worry. You helped me, and now I have to pay you back." she smiled. Syaoran blushed again. He thought for a while and then approved. They both walked to his house.

Sakura started boiling hot water in the kitchen while Syaoran was sitting in a chair. "Are you sure you don't need help?" he asked trying to get up. "No, you need to rest" she said while pouring the water in a bucket. Syaoran sat down and pondered as she did this. He was confused, how Sakura was acting. He had thought that she liked Henry. She now came and sat in her knees besides Syaoran. She placed the bucket to her side, and with it moistened a piece of cloth she had found. Syaoran then asked, "Why are you doing this?" Sakura stared into his eyes as she held the damp cloth.

"You saved me Syaoran. You saved me from a horrible beast, and got hurt at doing it. This is the least I can do to repay you back" she said staring back at the cloth. "Now hold still, this is going to stain a little" she said as she carefully placed the hot and moistened cloth on the wound. Syaoran could feel the pain rising, but he hid his feelings deep inside as he closed his eyes. Sakura looked at him with concern, as she delicately rubbed his shoulder. Syaoran gradually started to feel less pain, he opened his eyes and relaxed, as he felt the now smooth and warm cloth tenderly touch his skin.

They both started talking that afternoon. Sakura then told him about what had happened before that week. "That beast had called me before. I saw its eyes and went chasing it. And as a consequence I almost fell off a cliff…" she started saying. "I could have died but Henry grasped my hands and saved me. I was so happy that I accidentally hugged him" she said. Syaoran's eyes widened. *It was a misunderstanding* he thought cheerfully. *I was wrong!*

Syaoran then told her "I'm sorry Sakura" "What?" Sakura was confused. "For being cold, and not talking to you" he sighed. "I haven't been the same" he stared at her emerald eyes. Sakura stared back. "I was confused and lost in my feelings, that even one day I found Hana, and well spilled them. I guess all I needed was someone to talk to. She was very understanding." (yeah right… ) Sakura's eyes expanded. *It was just a misunderstanding! I wasn't true!* she thought happily.

"And I'm sorry" she finally said. "For what?" Syaoran asked. "For not talking back" she answered. "I also had changed during the past week…" They both smiled relieved. "So, are we still friends?" Sakura took her hand out. Syaoran stared at it. "Yeah" They both held their hands. Sakura finished and wrapped his shoulder in bandages. Syaoran was glad he had Sakura back as a friend and he was also glad that she didn't like Henry.

When it was getting late Syaoran walked Sakura home. "Thank you" he said. "It was no problem, I should be the one thanking you" Sakura smiled. They both smiled. Then suddenly Sakura heard a thud on one of her windows. They turned around to find Touya's face smacked on it with a huge vein. (you guessed it! Anime style ^^!) Sakura just sweat dropped. "Then I'll see you tomorrow at the play" Syaoran said. "Yeah!" Sakura waved as Syaoran started running waving back. *He is soooo cute* She then opened the door to find Touya. "Where is he?!" he asked furious. "He is gone" Sakura said dreamily. *And he still likes me* she started going up. *Syaoran doesn't like Hana…* she thought as she started closing her eyes.

Syaoran stared at the ceiling from his bed. He then touched his shoulder. The pain was gone. Sakura had helped him, and still cared for him. He was happy. So happy that without noticing he fell asleep.
