Chapter Four: The Story

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Syaoran screamed more loudly, so loudly that the birds fell out of the tree.

Syaoran checked his forehead to see if he was hallucinating. Surely, he was not.

"Oh no no" Syaoran gulped while wiping the sweat of nervousness off of his forehead.

"W-what is my boss going to say" Syaoran stuttered trying to get the words together correctly.

Ring ring ring….

"Oh, god the phone…" Syaoran gulped as he picked it up.

"M-moshi moshi?" Syaoran waited nervously for the answer.

"Li Syaoran, come down to the building…now! We have something to discuss…" For sure it was Syaoran's boss…He must've read the newspaper. This day was going to be Hell.

Syaoran drove furiously down the road to get to his work. He sped into his parking space and it made a screech sound as he stopped. He opened his door and slammed it shut. He ran to the boss' office. Everyone in the work knew what was wrong. Did everyone have to read the paper before he got to work? Guess so.

"Sit" Ok...this was not a good sign...sitting meant…this will take a while. Syaoran sighed and sat down.

"Here have some water" Ok, this was even worse.

Syaoran took a sip and then asked him a question that he already knew the answer to.

"Why did you need to see me" His boss slid the paper down to his front and for sure it was that front page, top headline, in big bold black letters.

"What is the meaning of this?" His boss eyed him.

"W-well you see, I saw her in the car so I asked her some questions and then, then I need to ask more so I took her to a "business" dinner." Syaoran gulped.

"This is not what is says in the paper!" His boss yelled and slammed his hand down on it. Syaoran gulped once more.

"Now I told you not to interfere with your interviewers like that!"

"Y-yes, I know"

"You are to never take another interview from this girl again or you will be fired!!"

"B-but she is-"

"I know who she is!" His boss got closer to him.

"But I don't want to lose my business so never talk to her again!"

"I understand" He actually didn't. Syaoran had fallen in love with this girl and he couldn't go on without her. He didn't want to get fired either. What should he do now?

His boss said he had the rest of the day off so Syaoran walked around while people kept saying to him

"I know you from somewhere"

or…

"You went with Kinomoto Sakura, didn't you, can I have your autograph?"

Syaoran never felt what it was like to be celebrity but now he sort of does. This day…was going to be a long day…and of course along with that…A day of Hell.

*******

"HOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura yelled in the kitchen while Tomoyo and Eriol plugged their ears in agony of the noise.

Sakura just read the front page, top headline, in big bold black letters.

"CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!!" Sakura pointed to it.

"OH MY!" Tomoyo yelled, Eriol gasped and the maid dropped the mug she was holding. It broke into many tiny pieces as it shattered on the floor but no one seemed to care or notice, all that was in their minds was the newspaper, front page, top headline, in big bold black letters.

"I CAN NEVER SHOW MY FACE AGAIN!" Sakura cried.

"Oh no no, you were on a business date with him…who is behind this?" Tomoyo pondered worriedly.

"I DON'T KNOW BUT WHOEVER IT IS, WHEN I FOUND OUT, WHICH I WILL, I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura threw the paper down as she chugged down her coffee.

"You have work today" Tomoyo said as she pointed to her watch.

"I AM NOT GOING!"

"B-but Sakura-cha-"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Sakura yelled as she ran up to her room and slammed the door shut.

"Oh no.." Eriol said as he trailed off.

*******

Sakura sobbed and sobbed in her pillow as she kept yelling..

"Syaoran, I thought I could trust you!" She obviously like Syaoran was having a day of Hell.

Syaoran's Point Of View

Syaoran was driving furiously to get to Sakura's mansion. I really need to talk to her and get this straightened out. She probably thought I did it. Oh yeah, I forgot, who really did this? I surely didn't. Ah there is her house. Hope they will let me in, I really need to apologize to her.

*******

Normal Point Of View

Knock knock

Who could it be? Tomoyo answered the door and saw a messy Syaoran standing on the other side.

"LI SYAORAN!" Tomoyo glared at him while Syaoran jumped back scared of the mad-woman.

Tomoyo sighed and let him come in. Syaoran explained everything to Tomoyo and Eriol.

"I wonder who did it" Tomoyo pondered. She really didn't like seeing Sakura like this.

"I will do the job, I will search for the culprit." Eriol stated sounding like Sherlock Holmes.

"Well I need to talk to Sakura and apologize, for something I didn't even do" Syaoran sighed as he walked upstairs.

There was a light pink door at the end of the hallway. Syaoran was guessing it was Sakura's.

Syaoran knocked once. Twice. Three times… and so forth.

"Sakura, it's me Syaoran, please let me in" Syaoran pleaded.

Syaoran saw the door open to a blood-shot Sakura.

"What do you want?" Sakura closed the door and glared at him.

"I want to say…I didn't do this and I am sorry that this happened to you" Syaoran said, his eyes glued to the floor.

Sakura knew he didn't do it. She felt sorry for him too anyway.

"It's ok, I am sorry too, must've been hard going to work, ne?" Sakura smiled lightly and sat next to him.

"Hai it was" Syaoran smiled to the floor. [To the floor….Hahaha….back to the story]

"Well Hiiragazawa said he would search for the culprit." Syaoran stated as Sakura's face brightened a little.

"That's great I hope he finds him"

"Me too" Syaoran smiled but then blushed when Sakura hugged him.

"Arigato….for everything" Sakura smiled.

"Anytime" Syaoran was in heaven. [Not literally]

"Hey, you know, I have to do a concert soon, you wanna come and see, of course and report on it"

"I would love to go"

"Great" Sakura smiled to him once more.

"Hai" The totally forgot about the havoc that was going on outside the bedroom.

"NO I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY!!" Tomoyo yelled outside the door.

There was a mob of reporters trying to get the scoop on the story in the newspaper.

"Are they a couple?"

"When will we see them?"

"When did Miss Kinomoto come home?"

"WE TOLD YOU WE WOULDN'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!" Eriol yelled as she slammed the door on the talking reporters.

"What are we going to do?" Tomoyo asked nervously.

"We are going to have to get out of here" Eriol stated as he closed all the blinds and so did the maid.

"But they will see us" The maid stated.

"I know a way" Eriol smirked.
