Cherish They Wolf: part 3

So I lay off my wolf side for the next nights and I did change, she was always there with that stuffed animal and recording girl, trying to "vanquish" me. By daytime, she was so nice to me and suddenly she became my friend. How weird. She tries to kill me at night and befriends me in the daytime. Well, I didn't show up at night as much now. I sorta didn't want to hurt her…and couldn't…and I thought that I would have a better chance at getting the Clow Cards by daytime. Soon, I was pretty fond of her. I keep telling myself she's just a friend every time. But my thoughts thought she was more than just "a friend" every time.

When I arrived at school, the clock read 7:55 am. Sakura was inside already talking to her friend.

"Oh, ohayo Syaoran!!" she greeted happily. I blushed and greeted back. "Are you okay Syaoran? Your face is kind of red."

"Please settle down, students. Today, we have new student. He came from England and please welcome Eriol Hiiragizawa." The door opened and a boy about my age stepped in. He had dark hair and wore big glasses. He also wore this funny smirk, which I began to hate immediately. "Eriol, you may take a seat behind Tomoyo. Raise your hand Tomoyo so he knows where to be seated." Tomoyo raised her hand and Eriol made his way to his chair.

"Okay, class," the teacher, said loudly. The room became silent. "We are going to have a group project which will be due in the end of this month." The class cheered at the idea of being grouped and they started to talk with their friends. "Quiet please. I will be assigning pairs. Your project will be surveys of any topic you choose." What a lame subject. Sounds like a job for lower graders. "The first pair will be…" and the list went on. After a few minutes, there was only Eriol, Sakura, Tomoyo, and me. Somehow, I didn't want Eriol to be paired with me. Or Sakura. Why do I feel jealous when I don't even like –

"Finally, Eriol and (Please not Sakura please not Sakura please not - ) Tomoyo. So that leaves Syaoran and Sakura. You may plan your project with your partner." I sighed for no reason. Sakura turned around and asked me what do I want to do. I told her that I haven't thought up of a subject.

"Well I don't have any clue. Tomoyo, what do are you doing?" Sakura turned to Tomoyo. Eriol looked at Sakura and smiled that goddamned smile. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Eriol and I are going to do ask people what type of fashion they like!" she went al starry eyed and was in dream world. Eriol, on the other hand, didn't seem to like the subject, therefore sweatdropped.

"Uh, Tomoyo-chan, I don't know about that…" Eriol began, but he shrank down as Tomoyo glared at him, anime style [you now, like they get all big with fire in the background and the victim is all small...] Eriol chuckled, "Sounds like a great idea."

"Tomoyo, do you have any ideas on what Syaoran and I could do?" Sakura tapped Tomoyo on the shoulder and Tomoyo became normal again

"I know plenty of things that you and Syaoran could do, heheheh," she said slyly, a glint in her eye. "H-hoeee?!" Then the bell rang and everybody left for their next period.

"Tomoyo!!" I whispered in the locker hall. "What do you mean by that?!" I knew what exactly what she means, but I just want to make sure that she was thinking…hentai-ish.

"I know! What about a survey on what people think on relationships! It would be perfect for you and Syaoran," she said, changing the subject. I hated the way she said it.

"What is it?" I turned around to see Syaoran behind me. I blushed beet-red.

"Ahahahahaha, um Tomoyo just came up with an idea of what we should do for our project," I laughed nervously. I hope he didn't catch what Tomoyo meant by her topic.

"I haven't gotten an idea. Might as well use it," he closed his locker. "What is it?"

"Ummm, what people think about relationships?" I said meekly. He seemed to be caught by surprise. He nodded. "Okay. I'll see you after school then." He left for his class and then Eriol popped up.

"Hi Sakura. It looks like I have the same classes as you," he said casually. I looked at his schedule list and yep, he did. When I looked up, I saw past Eriol's shoulder and Syaoran glaring at Eriol. How strange. Was it jealousy in his eyes? He turned and left.

"Sakura? Earth to Sakura. Wake up!" Tomoyo waved her hand in front of my face.

"Hoe?" I looked at her. "What?"

"Geez, come on or we'll be late for our classes!" She pulled my arm and Eriol followed. We made it in time. Throughout the whole classes, I couldn't focused because my mind was always drawn to Syaoran. What mad him jealous? Was he jealous? Was it Eriol? Why is he jealous? The bell rung and I made my way out to find Syaoran. I found him on the steps in front of the school.

"Hey Syaoran!" I turned to see Sakura running to me. I gulped.

"What is it Sakura?" She stopped and looked at the ground.

"We still have that project to work on and I was wondering if you like to come over to my house…to work on it and stuff." She shuffled her feet and kept looking at the floor. I felt my face get red. What should I say?

"Um, sure, Sakura. I'll come over today, if that's what you want." She looked up and smiled. Then she frowned. What did I do wrong?

"Tomoyo! I can see you through those bushes!" she said to a bush with a blinking red light. And indeed, Tomoyo was there with her camera. With Eriol. Smiling that, that smile. I feel like I want to rip his head off right now.

"How KAWAII!! Sakura inviting a guy over to her house. And a guy that she li –" Tomoyo was cut of by Sakura's hand clamped over her mouth. Sakura gave her a look and Tomoyo snickered. "What would your onni-chan say? Wouldn't he get mad?" Sakura shook her head.

"He's not home around this hour." Tomoyo kept filming and giggling. Eriol just smiled.

"Geez, not around this hour. I wonder what you two will DO!!!" I felt my face heat up and I guess Sakura's face must have too.

"Tomoyo!!! Come on Syaoran, let's just go." She pulled my arm and walked away quickly. I turned back and Tomoyo was still recording, but talking to Eriol. He nodded.

I couldn't believe that I had invited him to my house. I hoped that Kero and Touya wouldn't do anything too stupid. Kero better be a stuffed animal today. I reached my yellow house and I fumbled with the keys. The door opened and we walked in.

"Just make yourself comfy while I get something to drink. You want anything?" I was nervous to have a guy at my house.

"No thanks. I'm fine," he said, looking around at my house. He sat down in the couch and I left to the kitchen.

"Hey Sakura!" Kero said on the table. "Got any pudding?" Kero flew to the fridge and tried to pry the door open. "I can't – "

"Kero!! Shhh!!" I whispered to him. "We have a guest and I want you to be a stuffed animal." He opened his mouth to say something, but I interrupted. "Or no pudding." He shut up and laid on the table grumbling something about black mail. I poured soda in two cups and placed them on a tray along with some cookies. When I carried them out, what I saw made me nearly drop it. Touya was home. And he was having a staring contest with Syaoran, staring very hard with a scowl. Same with Syaoran.

"Touya!! What are you doing home early?!" I hope Touya didn't get the wrong impression.

"Why is a BOY doing here Sakura??!!" He broke the staring contest and glared at me. "What is HE doing here?! Sakura answer me!!!" He totally blew his top of here. He had a red face and towered over me. I looked at Syaoran and he was packing up, giving me an apologetic look.

"Touya! He's my friend and we were about to start on our project!!" I scolded at him and grabbed my bag and stood next to Syaoran. I held his arm and I felt a little shy. "If you don't want us working, I'll just go to his house instead." I opened the door and Syaoran walked outside quickly.

"Oh no you aren't!! You are NOT going anywhere near that gaki!! Come back here!" Touya yelled as he ran to the door. Before he could jump out, I shut the door in his face. I could hear the thump and a clunk to the floor.

"Come on, let's go before he wakes up and starts a rampage!" I giggled to Syaoran. I pulled his arm and started for the street. "So where do you live?" We stopped abruptly and I nearly fell. Luckily and embarrassingly, Syaoran held me before I could fall. I quickly got out of his grip and blushed. He did too.

"I live that way, a few blocks down. Follow me," he pulled my arm and we started running again. I looked back and I thought I say a red blinking light moving, but shrugged it off.

When we arrived at Syaoran's apartment, we were quite exhausted from running so he offered me a drink. I accepted it since I thought I was going to die from dehydration. We sat on the green couch and he pulled out a piece of paper and pen.

"So what was our topic again?" he asked. I told him what people thought about relationships and that it was Tomoyo's idea. He wrote it down and thought for a moment.

"What should we do with it? The teacher said to make it a survey so I guess we have to ask people what they think of it huh?" he paused. "On our board, should we put a graph on people who thought of it positively or negatively?" I laughed.

"Take it easy, Syaoran! The project is due the end of this month. That's like two weeks away. I think we can finish it." I sipped my drink and he sighed.

"Yeah, but it'll be better if we got it done and out of our way so we won't have to do a last minute report. Help me think of ways on how we can do this." I rolled my eyes. Man this guy is a workaholic.

"Fine," I muttered. I leaned over to see what he wrote so far. All we had was the topic and the graphing the choices idea. "What about our own opinions. What we think on a relationship?" I had no idea why I said that and why I blushed. I looked at him and he was kind of a red too. Guess he took it the wrong way. Oh great.

Did I just heard what she just said? That what w-we thought about relationships?! Was she supposing a relationship with me? Nah, she couldn't.

"Um, what do I think about relationships? I, uh, think that it's, um, gee, I don't know. I never thought about it before." And that was the truth. Well, except for the part when my mom made Meiling my fiancé. It was really scary, but that was some time ago. I look at Sakura. She stared at the floor. I wrote down her idea on the paper.

"Well I guess that's a start. What do you think about relationships?" She shrugged.

"Haven't given it a thought yet."

So the whole afternoon we managed to pull some ideas and we would start asking people tomorrow what they think about relationships, despite the fact of making a fool out of ourselves. I walked her home and her brother practically ripped the door open.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING WITH HER???!!!!" he bellowed at me. I glared at him.

"Lat me ask you one thing," I said to him in the eye. He leaned down.

"And what is that?!" I pulled out a piece of a paper.

"What do you think about relationships?" Then I ran.

"WHAAAAATT???????!!!!!!!!!!!!"
