~*Next day*~
The sun rays hit her window and showered her face. Tear streaks were visible on her cheeks. You could tell that she had been crying before she went to her peaceful sleep. She cringed as the light shined at her face. She covered her face with blankets and pillows and placed them over her head to get more sleep. *I'm not going to school... I'm not going to school... Not when those 2 are there.*
Images from last night haunted her again as she tried to go back to sleep. There he was, Syaoran, standing there with unbelievable eyes. His hands were gathered up into a fist and were shaking like crazy. His messy chestnut hair covered his amber eyes but she could see them perfectly. They projected sadness and she could that he was in the verge of tears. *Tears..... Syaoran-kun, you almost cried...*
Tears suddenly appeared again and ran down her cheek. She wiped them away and sniff.
"SAKURA!" Kero huffed and puffed. That was his last scream. He was already out of breath from screaming at his video game.
Sakura covered her ears from the annoying sound. *IIE! I'M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL!*
Soon she heard her door creek open. She ignored it and tried to go back to sleep. Suddenly she felt tons of pounds laying on her body. She was in an awkward position and that just made it hurt even more. (A/N: Getting sit on in an uncomfortable position hurts a lot!! TRUST ME! I HAD THE FEELING....)
She felt fingers being punched into her stomach gently. She twitched at every spot. She giggled and soon started laughing hard. "Get up Kaijuu! You gotta go to school today!"
Sakura couldn't answer but just kept laughing. She finally gave up and decided to go to school anyways. She slapped Touya on the shoulder, hard. "ONII-CHAN!!! DON'T DO THAT!"
Touya rubbed his shoulder. "Well what other way should I wake you up?"
Sakura glared at her brother and went inside the bathroom to change.
Kero was on the ground acting like a stuffed animal. *Great, everytime I try to wake Sakura up, it always backfires but when Touya wakes her up, she's up and ready. How does he do it?*
~*Going to School*~
Sakura turned a corner. She walked slower as she neared the school. Her senses told her that Syaoran was inside the school already. She began to have chills up and down her spine. *I knew I shouldn't have gone to school today... Today is gonna be a long day. I can sense it*
She entered the school gates to find all the girls staring at her. Some were envious, some were jealous. Envious and jealous that she got to go to the dance with Satoshi, slow dance with him and that Satoshi loved her. All the girls thought that she was lucky. Sakura looked at each and every one of them. She sweatdropped as she made her way to Math. She spotted Tomoyo at the lockers and ran over to her.
"TOMOYO-CHAN!"
"Ohayo Sakura-chan..." Tomoyo replied. She stood right in front of a boy. It seems like she was trying hide the person. Sakura could tell by this from the way she was standing. Tomoyo had her arms straight out to the side.
Sakura leaned over to the side to see who it was.
Amber eyes caught her attention. She walked passed Tomoyo and stared straight at Syaoran, who was right behind Tomoyo. They looked at each other. Sakura didn't know what to say to him. They stood there for awhile, not saying anything. Syaoran then looked at his watch and looked back at her. He signaled her to follow him, leaving Tomoyo by herself.
Syaoran led her to the quad area. He stopped and stood there for awhile. His back was facing Sakura while Sakura was looking at the ground.
"Ohayo... Kinomoto-san" he whispered.
His husky voice sent a warm feeling through her body. Finally, after all these years, she finally could hear his soothing voice again. She shut her eyes for she heard pain in his voice as well. She couldn't believe what she had done to him. After promising she would wait for him, she didn't. Instead she left his heart in the period known as 'childhood crush'.
"Ohayo... Li-san" she whispered back.
He winced as she called him Li-san and not Syaoran-kun.
"Please, call me Syaoran-kun. You don't have to be so formal Kinomoto-san." He said trying to sound happy but it was no use. The image he saw yesterday were so heartbreaking to him. He could break down any second.
"Okay Syaoran-kun. You don't have to call me Kinomoto-san, Syaoran-kun. Please call me Sakura-chan."
He shook his head. "Iie... I have no right to call you Sakura-chan. Please understand."
Sakura heart was breaking very slowly. *I'm losing him...* "Hai..."
Syaoran turned around and to Sakura's surprise, he was crying, for the very first time. Sakura felt that it was her fault for making him cry. She hurt him, badly. But she was sorry. *Sorry isn't going to mend his broken heart* a little voice said in her mind. It was right. Sakura had tears in her eyes as well. Soon her tears ran down her cheeks freely. "Gomen nasia Syaoran-kun!" she screamed as she ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck very tightly. She cried on his shoulder and he cried as well. He wrapped his arms around her slim waist.
Over near the drinking fountain stood a girl with long purple hair and tears in her amethyst eyes. "Li-kun, Sakura-chan..."
The bell rang for 1st period. Syaoran and Sakura looked at each other. Sakura still had tears running down her face. Syaoran wiped then away with a stroke of his hand across her cheek. She smiled weakly at him. She also noticed tears still coming down his cheeks too. So she returned the favor and wiped his tears away. He blushed a light red color. Syaoran let go of her and walked away. She held out her hand so he would come back and sweep her up in his arms but he just kept on walking. Away from her.
He stopped and looked back at Sakura who was still there looking at him. "Sayonara Sakura-chan..." he whispered and walked away.
Sakura heard him. *He called me Sakura-chan... Syaoran-kun..* "Sayonara Syaoran-kun..." she whispered as she dropped down to her knees and began to cry.
~*At 3rd period, which is PE*~
Sakura grabbed the volleyball from the coach. She walked over to her court where her friends were waiting for her. Suddenly, strong arms came around her waist and clasped together. She turned around and saw Satoshi smiling at his new girlfriend. (A/N: YES GIRLFRIEND!! THEY ARE OFFICIALLY GOING OUT!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DEAL WITH IT...)
Sakura blushed. Her friends were screaming "Go Satoshi-kun!" and his friends were whistling at them. She struggled to get out of his grasp but he held on tight. *Good thing I know how to get out of these things.* She took one of his fingers and bent it back as far as it could go.
Satoshi screamed in pain and let go quickly. He whimpered as Sakura giggled. She felt sorry for him. She placed her index finger under his chin to make him look at her. She quickly gave him a peck on the cheek and ran to the court to start the game. Satoshi smiled in satisfaction and went over to his court. Sakura giggled.
Over 3 courts from Sakura's court stood Syaoran eyeing the whole thing. Sakura didn't know that Syaoran had the same PE period with her. Syaoran glared at Satoshi as he made his way through the other courts, towards the court that Syaoran was on. *You dumb-ass, you don't know who your dealing with.*
~*At Lunch*~
Satoshi and Sakura held hands as they made their way to Tomoyo. Again, Tomoyo was with Syaoran.
"I don't know what to do Tomoyo-chan... I love her too much to let go"
Tomoyo slurped her mocha shake. (A/N: I'm craving for a Mocha Blast...) "Li-kun..."
"Please, call me Syaoran-kun"
"Okay Syaoran-kun. Well anyways... She's moved on, and I think you should move on too..."
"It's so hard though Tomoyo-chan..." he replied as he ran his hands through his hair.
"Why don't I treat you to a movie or something? Will that get your mind off them for awhile?"
"Hai... I guess..."
"TOMOYO-CHAN!" Sakura screamed.
Tomoyo turned around and spotted the couple running up to them hand in hand. Syaoran glared at Satoshi. Tomoyo slapped Syaoran.
"NANI?!! What was that for?"
"Look, if you wanna get over her, you have to accept their relationship. From now on... No more glaring."
"TOMOYO-CHAN! I can't do that!"
"Well live with it..."
"FINE!" he screamed and crossed his arms and pouted like a little baby.
Tomoyo giggled.
Sakura and Satoshi sat down together. Tomoyo got an idea and took a deck of cards out of her lavender backpack. "Hey you know that a regular deck of cards can tell your love life..."
"Really?" Sakura asked in amazement.
"HAI! You wanna try Sakura-chan? My cousin taught me how to do it."
"Hai! What do I do?"
Tomoyo shuffled the cards. She held the deck in one hand. "Now who are you gonna do it on? Like who's the guy?"
"Um...." *Satoshi or Syaoran??* "Do I have to tell you?"
"Iie..."
"OKAY!!" She thought for a moment and made up her mind. She started tapping the cards. "There!" Sakura replied
Satoshi and Syaoran grew very anxious. Neither of them knew who's name Sakura put down since Satoshi and Syaoran have the same number of letters in their names. Syaoran glared at Satoshi. Satoshi noticed this and gave him a pathetic look. Syaoran was about to punch him in the head when he felt a stinging pain on the back of his head. He rubbed it and glared at Tomoyo. Tomoyo was staring at him with cheery eyes. But Syaoran knew, under those amethyst eyes, was a threat saying 'if you keep glaring at Satoshi-kun, the more bruises you'll get from me!' Syaoran sweatdropped and paid attention to the cards.
"Now Sakura-chan... split it into 4 decks."
Sakura did as she was told. Tomoyo took on deck and started flipping through it like she was trying to find something. She did and put the discards on the side and kept the other cards. She did that for the rest of the piles.
"Okay now shuffle and put it into 3 decks after."
Again, Sakura did as she was told. And again, Tomoyo started flipping through the 3 decks of cards.
"Okay now shuffle again and put it into 2 decks."
"Is there a point to this?!" Sakura screamed. She was getting tired of waiting so long.
"C'mon Sakura-chan! Just do as I say or it won't work!"
So again, Sakura did as she was told. Tomoyo did the same thing. This time at the end, she took the cards that were not discarded and looked at them. She showed Sakura her cards. It revealed a 'Q-A-K-7-A'
Tomoyo sighed.
"Well...." Sakura said anxiously.
"This guy likes you a lot... You kind of like him. See that King and that Ace and that Queen together? You are the Queen and he is the King. So it's saying you like him and he likes you back. Demo, you like someone else rather than him. It's like, something is holding you back from loving him back... See that other Ace on the far right? That's your heart... That 7 is blocking you from liking him back. Demo, you do like him demo something, or someone is blocking you from liking him only. Get it?"
"I guess..." *Me?? Something holding me back from loving S******? (A/N: This will be a surprise)
Syaoran had a sad look on his face. *That guy is probably me... It fits what's happening right now.*
Satoshi also had a sad look on his face. *I HATE LI-SAN.... I HATE LI-SAN...*
Tomoyo shuffled the deck with a cheerful smile. "You wanna do another one?"
"HAI!! This is fun Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura screamed as she clapped her hands together.
Tomoyo repeated the steps again. This time Sakura did another guy. When Tomoyo was done, she held in her hands 4 cards. She showed them to Sakura. This time, it revealed a 'Q-K-A-A'
Tomoyo smiled and had a dreamy look on her face.
Sakura looked at her with a weird expression. "Um... What does it say Tomoyo-chan?"
"You guys were meant for each other! HOW KAWAII!! C'MON SAKURA-CHAN! WHO'S NAME DID YOU TAP?!
Sakura turned dark red. "I...I'm not telling you Tomoyo-chan!"
"DEMO, I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who cares if it was just for a brief minute or two! It still was an S+S moment! I was THIS CLOSE ~~ )( into not putting a single S+S moment in this chapter!! DEMO, since I'm a nice person... I DID!
