*Ahem* So how are we all today? Good? I have a lot in store for this story, and I can't wait to write it! I hope you enjoy this chapter, and once again, thanks for all of your reviews! It really does encourage me to continue writing! I woke up with a sore throat and runny nose today...It's the start of the holidays and I'm sick...

Syaoran sat in the principals' office for twenty minutes while Kei had been sent off to hospital to get his jaw fixed. The principal walked in after speaking to Fai, and Syaoran did a complete double take; he didn't know if it was Fai walking in or if his eyes were deceiving him. The teacher sat down at his desk facing Syaoran who was looking at him confused. "Are you the principal or are you Fai?" Syaoran blurted out. He jumped at his own words; he didn't usually say such stupid things to embarrass himself. "Rest assured, I'm just his twin brother." He said smiling. "Makes sense now." Syaoran muttered to himself. "So I hear you're very protective of Miss Sakura." Syaoran looked at him, unsure where this was going. "I've been made aware of the rumours and other things that are being said by students about her, and what was said to you; so I don't blame you for what you did, but unfortunately it can't go unpunished."

Syaoran looked down at his hands for a brief moment, then back up to his principal. "If I am to be suspended, can you please do something for Sakura to keep her away from the students; she may look like she's staying strong, but I've known her for years. I know that she's frightened and upset about what's being said."

His teacher took a moment to think about what was being said. "Of course." He replied.

Syaoran was spoken to about what sort of consequences he may receive other than a suspension, and once the bell went for the end of the day, he was allowed to leave. "Thankyou-

"Just call me Yuui."

"Thankyou Yuui." Syaoran said as he walked out the door.

Sakura walked over to Syaoran after school so that they could walk home together. They stopped when Fai walked up to them to say something. "Chii would like to visit later, Syaoran, if that's alright. I think she's a little anxious to see Sakura." He laughed. Sakura smiled along with Syaoran, who nodded. "Sure that's fine." He answered. "Cool; we'll see you later." Fai waved as the two left the school grounds, headed for home. "I might be suspended…" Syaoran brought up. Sakura looked at him with a look of sadness. "How come?"

"I dislocated Kei's jaw in physics."

"Why would you do such a thing? You're usually very gentle…"

"He said some filthy things about you…and it pissed me off. To be honest I've always wanted to hit him, he's such an arse."

"Promise me you won't do something that will get you into trouble or hurt, ok?"

Syaoran looked down at his girlfriend, who squeezed his hand. "I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I promise."

When they got back to the house they found Sora on the couch playing Xbox. "Welcome back you two! Syaoran I got a call from you're principal; you're not supposed to get suspended. But I suppose it was for a good enough reason so I'll let it slide this time. Sakura how was your day? Tell me all about it!" Syaoran mumbled something about making hot drinks and walked off to the kitchen while Sakura went and sat down with Sora. She paused her game and turned to Sakura, who was placing her bag on the floor beside her. Sakura looked up at her new friend but didn't smile. "Sora…what would you do if the entire school was against you?" Sakura asked. Sora thought for a moment, then understood what she was saying. She pulled Sakura into a hug, holding her head against her chest. "Hmm…what would I do, you ask? I think I'd show them how wrong they are, and then give 'em all a quick HIYAA in the face!" Sakura laughed at Sora's answer, and thought about it for a few minutes. "What…should I do?" Sora hugged Sakura tightly while stroking her hair in a motherly way. "Stay true to yourself and all will be alright. You have friends who love you and protect you, and you know that Syaoran will never leave you." The smile on Sora's face calmed Sakura, and made her feel relief. "Thankyou Sora…"

The two girls heard the phone ring, and Syaoran pick it up. "Hello?" There was a pause. "Wait-I don't think she'd be able to-" The two girls heard Syaoran hang up the phone and sigh. He walked into the lounge room where the girls were, and looked at Sora. "What did you tell him, Sora?" Syaoran asked annoyed. Sora smiled innocently, cocking her head to the side. "What do you mean little brother?" Syaoran walked away shaking his head, leaving Sora smiling and Sakura confused. Sakura decided that she'd ignore what he'd just said, started thinking about how she'd fix the design of her dress. "Sora, can you help me with something?" Sora looked at Sakura with interest. "Sure! What is it?"

"I have to fix the design of my dress because of something that happened…Could you model it for me…?"

"Of course! I'd love to!"

Sakura smiled, happy that she'd be able to spend some more time with Sora. "Thanks so much!"

When Chii and Fai arrived, Sakura was working on the redesign of her ball gown. Chii ran up to Sakura and hugged her, then looked at her project. "Oh wow, that's really pretty. What are you doing to it?" Chii asked. "I'm redesigning the dress…" Sakura replied shyly. She liked Chii, but she felt like she couldn't open up to her yet. It felt like Chii was keeping a secret from her, one that could change everything she knew about her world, so she couldn't trust her completely just yet. Syaoran placed a cup of tea by Sakura, and handed one to Chii. "We can be expecting two more guests tonight." Syaoran was speaking to everyone in the room.

That's chapter ten! I hope you enjoyed it! I have a little something in store for everyone….!
