Chapter 29

When Sakura starting waking up in class that day, she knew that she been dreaming again. This time she had remembered more about it. There was someone she recognized in the dream, Syaoran. He had been trying to stop her from getting someplace. Was she really having a premonition of what would be happening in the future? Raising her head Sakura looked around the classroom, seeing that everyone was getting up already. She had slept through a part of the class! Sakura hastily got up from her seat and picked up the book on her desk. Tomoyo walked to up to her with a concerned look on her face.

Sakura saw that Tomoyo was back to her usual friendly self, the last night almost forgotten now. For a moment Sakura considered telling her friend about her dream, but she stopped. Although she had gotten it a couple of times now, she had no idea what it meant. Sakura had started having the reoccurring dreams the night after she had caught the Dream card. Kero been there to wake her up from the second dream. Not sure about what to do, she walked silently out of the classroom.

"I hope you don't like fall asleep on your date with Li-kun or anything... cause that would be embarrassing," Tomoyo whispered.

"What?" Sakura replied, stopping. "Oh, I forgot completely about it! I don't even know what I should wear."

Sakura immediately stopped talking when she saw Syaoran walk up to her. From the way he was acting, he was having some trouble approaching her. For a moment she wondered if he was nervous about what they were going to do later on.

Not liking the way her friends were acting toward each other, Tomoyo tried lighting up mood between the two of them.

"So Li-kun, do you like Sakura-chan today with the new Kitty band-aid? In picked it out myself," Tomoyo smiled.

"I... I didn't buy them!" Sakura interrupted, wishing she had spent more time picking something a little more grown up to put on her head. "Stupid Touya got them for me and I-"

"I think you look cute," Syaoran answered.

"I told him to get them last week!" Sakura lied, wondering she should wear that to school from now on.

Syaoran mentioned that she was cute. Sakura couldn't believe it. Was that the first time he ever told her something like that? There was the sound of something ringing, making her freeze. Syaoran quickly took out his cell phone to answer it. Sakura was curious, wanting to know who would be calling him at that time right after class.

"I'm very busy right now, so if you can-" Syaoran said, quickly stopping. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize it was you."

Sakura that thought Syaoran was in trouble.

"Li-kun, who is-"

"I have to go," Syaoran interrupted, as though he had to be somewhere else at that moment. "I'll see you later Sakura."

Sakura was very alarmed at Syaoran's reaction. Instead of saying anything she only nodded. As Syaoran left, Sakura started wondering about the mysterious caller. At that moment Sakura felt someone lightly place a hand on her shoulder. Sakura turned around to see who it was.

"Hoeee?"

Takashi, his eyes squinting as usual, was smiling at her while holding a chalkboard eraser in each hand.

"Sakura, it's your turn. I believe you have clean up duty today."

"Today?" Sakura replied, startled.

Sakura had expected to get home quickly that afternoon, not stay behind at school to clean up the homeroom. Would she even have enough time now for a nap, studying, and picking out something appealing to wear on the date with Syaoran? It didn't seem possible anymore. Not believing her very bad luck, she only nodded and took both erasers. Sakura was not looking forward to the work.

"Maybe I should cancel the appointment to see that veterinarian with my cat?" Tomoyo uttered, wanting to help. "I can wait for you outside if that's what you want, Sakura-chan."

"No, you shouldn't change your plans just for me," Sakura muttered, sadly. "I'll see you later, Tomoyo-chan."

After Tomoyo had left Sakura went over to the chalkboard and started getting to work. Turning back she went to get another eraser when she found herself bumping into another girl. She hadn't been the only one forced to stay behind that day.

"Hey Rika-chan! Takashi-kun got you too huh?"

"Hello Sakura-chan," Rika smiled, holding onto another set of erasers.

As Sakura started cleaning the eraser alongside her friend Rika, she wondered if it would be a good idea to ask Rika about something.

Rika was one of her classmates and someone Sakura had known since elementary school. Ever since their first meeting Sakura always thought Rika was very responsible for her age. In her spare time Rika seemed to enjoy reading up on how to cook or getting involved in a new club at school. Sakura thought it was a little unusual how Rika was always waiting for someone whenever class ended. For some reason Sakura had never seen Rika take any interest in any other boys like most of her other friends did, and she was starting to believe that maybe Rika had someone she loved that was just far away. Did Rika like someone in school that she didn't want anyone to know about?

"You have someone you like right?" Sakura asked.

"Yes," Rika replied, surprised at the sudden question. "Why did you want to ask?"

"There is someone I really like, but I told him not to tell anyone about what was happening between us."

"You don't want to keep it a secret do you?" Rika replied.

"I don't... I don't know. I think I asked him to do that because I was worried about how my brother was going to take this. I don't think that would turn out well," Sakura explained, wondering if that was the real reason.

"I think you should keep it a secret for as long as you can," Rika suggested. "When you tell everyone, you won't be able to take it back. Everyone would be gossiping and bothering you two. It would be nice to keep it a secret for a while."

Sakura nodded, deciding keep her relationship with Syaoran a secret for a while longer. The only person that knew about them was Tomoyo and Kero, and the two of them weren't going to say anything else to anyone. Sakura put the chalkboard eraser away when she was done.

After they finished, Sakura helped put everything away and quickly made her way outside. The trip was pretty quick since she kept thinking back to her conversation with Rika. When she finally got home, Sakura walked up the stairs and into her room. She started to look through her wardrobe. It was going to be more difficult than she thought.

Turning around she saw that Kero was awake. Kero was still in his plushy form and, according to him, would be that way for at least the next couple of days until more of his magic returned. Only until then would he finally be able to transform into his true form again.

"Kero-chan..." Sakura started. "I had the dream again."

Kero stopped what he was doing to look at Sakura carefully. The statement felt very ominous. Trying to think about what he should say, he only remained silent for several moments.

"You mean the one that you think is about the future?"

"Yeah, I..." Sakura started, before hesitating. A part of her didn't know if she should tell him everything that had been in it yet. "I think someone was trying to stop me from getting somewhere."

"Really? That's odd."

Sakura didn't want to tell him anymore about what she had thought that she had seen. That it had been about Syaoran. The dream had been so vague. However, she could remember more about it every time she had it. This was something she didn't want to think too much about now.

Syaoran had been holding a sword in the dream.

"Well, we can't do anything about it until you recall more about it. Just try to remember more the next time okay?"

"Sure," Sakura answered, taking off her shoes and trying to find another pair.

Kero flew up and landed on the desk. There was a look of exhaustion on his face, but when Sakura had woken up that morning she had just been so glad to see that Kero wasn't asleep anymore. Kero told them that he would be probably getting better after a few days like Syaoran had mentioned to them.

"Are you going some place again, Sakura-chan?" Kero asked.

"I already told you already I was seeing Li-kun tonight didn't I?"

Kero really was confused about what was going on between the Mistress of the Clow cards and the boy from the Li Clan. He couldn't explain why this was happening at all. From what Clow Reed had told Keroberos, the Li clan never cared much about outsiders. That was one of the reason Clow Reed hadn't been on good terms with the clan.

"I don't know why you have to spend so much time with him. Are you afraid he might like someone else if you stay away from him too long?" Kero teased, making a face.

"Of... of course not!" Sakura responded, believing that Syaoran wouldn't do anything like that. "That's not how it works anyway."

"How does it work? When two humans like each other how are they supposed to act?"

"Well, I think if you really like someone you try to spend more time with them to get to know them better."

"After that Li is going to try to kiss you right?"

"Ah!" Sakura uttered, accidentally dropping the hair brush she was holding.

Tomoyo was standing there outside the bedroom. Tomoyo was finding all the strange questions that Kero was asking to be amusing. Not saying or doing anything Tomoyo only stood there and listened for a while longer.

"Did I ask anything I shouldn't have?" Kero replied, noticing Sakura's behavior.

"Kero-chan, you probably shouldn't mention to Sakura the words Li and kiss in the same sentence. We might have to call the hospital if she faints!" Tomoyo suggested.

"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura uttered, forgetting about what she had been talking about.

"I wish you weren't going Sakura," Kero commented, flying over to the books that Syaoran had lent them that was stacked on the side of the room. "I need help looking through these."

"Don't worry about that. Don't you remember that I told you I would be here if you needed me?" Tomoyo commented, seeing her friend was now done what she had been doing. "Oh! Sakura-chan looks adorable!"

Sakura was wearing a sleeveless white dress. It fluttered around her knees. There were small flower designs spread over the entire garment that couldn't be seen unless you got very close In her hair was the silver hairpin that Tomoyo had let her borrow.

"Do your best Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo smiled, barely able to contain her excitement now. "Are you sure you don't want me to go with you and capture this important day on film?"

"Tomoyo-chan..."

"Is that still a no?" Tomoyo asked, worriedly.

After going outside Sakura looked up at the gathering clouds. It was cloudy as always, so Sakura had brought along an umbrella since she didn't want anything happening to the clothes that she was wearing. The walk was very uneventful, but she found that each step she took to be a little more difficult than the last as she got closer to his home. It didn't take long until she reached her destination.

For a few moments she stood outside thinking about how she should proceed. Sakura still remembered that last time she tried asking Syaoran out to some place, but unfortunately he had been hiding a small fever at the time. They had never really spent any time together that turned out well or wasn't interrupted. This time Sakura wasn't going to allow anything go wrong. Sakura reached forward and pushed the doorbell. Syaoran opened the door. The first thing Sakura realized that he was wearing a black buttoned shirt and pants. He looked really handsome.

"Hey Sakura."

"Hey" Sakura smiled, glad that he was there.

Syaoran held out his hand. Sakura took it.
