"Sakura! Syaoran! You're back!" Sakura was so relieved when she got to her class. She had taken to hiding behind Syaoran the whole morning. It seemed that everyone knew about the 'terrific save' that she did for the little kid. Eveyone used extra care to make her feel welcomed. But all that welcoming was getting a bit....annoying. She liked all her friends, but she didn't expect all this to happen.
Once she got to her seat, she slouched down, hoping that no one would notice her. "Sakura! Syaoran! Okaeri!" Sakura groaned. "Konnichi wa, Tomoyo." Tomoyo walked up to her desk and sat right beside. "Daijoubu desu ka?" She looked concerned.
"I'm fine, Tomoyo." She turned back to Syaoran and smiled. He blushed a bit. "So....what happened when you were asleep? Did you get any dreams?" Tomoyo asked. Syaoran leaned forward, as if interested. "Well...aa...."
But before she could explain about it, Terada-sensei walked in. "Ohayo!" He called out. "Ohayo, Terada-sensei!" The whole class replied. "Before we go straight to our math, I would like to welcome Syaoran and Sakura back. Sakura, Syaoran, stand please." Sakura looked surprised. She and Syaoran stood and bowed to the class.
"Okaeri!!" The whole class said. Sakura blushed and she could see that Syaoran did too. "Hmm...something must have happened in between this, for them to blush so red." Someone in the class whispered out loudly. The class laughed and they turned even more red.
"Ok class. Settle down. Turn to your mathbooks, page 284."
****************
In every class, their friends and the teachers wanted to welcome them. They treated Sakura like a hero. (Which she was...but being the modest type that she was...) "Ne...this is embarrassing." Sakura remarked to Tomoyo and Syaoran at lunch. They were sitting under the sakura tree. They both listened while Sakura told them about her mother. "She also said that you were going to be ill if I didn't come back fast." She turned to Syaoran. He looked down and mumbled. "Well, I was feeling a bit...sickish...."
"A bit ill? You should have taken care of yourself first." Sakura looked at him wide-eyed. "I couldn't. Not while you were still asleep." He smiled. "I'm glad." Sakura hugged him. And he hugged her back.
The bell rang.
DDDIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!!
"Lets go. We have gym next and I want to see if I can handle it." Sakura said to Syaoran as they walked towards the gym. "You can't." He protested. "You still need to take it easy."
"Don't worry about me, Syaoran-kun." She smiled at his concern. "I'll be fine."

She walked into the gym with Tomoyo. "I still don't think you should do this." Tomoyo warned. "Don't worry." Sakura laughed.
She walked up to the mats and did a bunch of amazing acrobatic flips that even the circus people couldn't beat. "Excellent!" The whole class was watching, and now they applauded like crazy. "She still hasn't lost it." She heard Rita exclaim to Tomoyo. "Aaa."

After the welcome home of her family, Sakura walked into her bedroom. She hadn't been in there for a while and everything looked the same. Except for the decorations that Tomoyo and Kero had put up. "Sakura!" Kero flew to her, upon seeing her open the door. "Wow. I sure like this decorating." Sakura exclaimed after looking around her room. "Do you? It was my idea." Sakura smiled. "Arigatou." Kero smiled.
***************
"Sakura! Wake up or you'll be late!" Sakura's otousan called from the kitchen.
"AGAIN..." A certain brother remarked loudly.
"HOOEEE!!" Sakura yelled as she fell off her bed. "Kero-chan! Doushite... Why didn't you wake me up? I'm gonna be late! And we're going on a camping trip!" She didn't wait for him to answer. She ran out the door full speed, grabbing her bags in the process.
"Dewa mata, Touya! Otousan!" She yelled.
She heard her otousan yell for her to be careful. "I will!" She sang out then dashed to the bus using the dash card.
"Kinomoto, I see you finally decided to grace us with you presense." The sensei remarked as Sakura almost ran him over to get in the bus. "Gomen...nasai...sensei." She said out of breath.
"Take a seat." Was all she said.
Sakura walked in and saw Tomoyo waving wildly. "Ohayo Sakura-chan!" She sang out. Sakura said ohayo back to Tomoyo-chan.
In the seat behind her sat Syaoran and Yamazaki. "Did you know..." Yamazaki started to say one of his stories to Syaoran and Sakura when Chiharu appeared and covered his mouth with her hand.
Everyone sweatdropped. Then Sakura said hi to Syaoran. "Ohayo Syaoran-kun!" She said happily, her emerald eyes sparkling. Syaoran lost himself in her glance and fell off his seat. 'She's so...kirei!!!!!'
Tomoyo took one look at Syaoran and knew what was happening.
"And Sakura-chan strikes again! This time she was able to down the one and only Li-kun....What will happen next?" Yamazaki said in an sports announcer voice. Everyone on the bus laughed.
Sakura blushed, and turned to Tomoyo hoping for some help. She didn't find any as she discovered herself staring into the lenses of a camcorder. "Tomoyo-chan..." She wailed. "I need help. Syaoran's really fainted." But no help came to her. She gently placed Syaoran's head on her lap and shook him.
"Syaoran-kun? Daijobou desu ka?" She asked. Syaoran snapped out of his daydream. "Eeto...S-Sakura-chan... Daijobou desu..." He blushed out. "Thats good." She smiled then helped him back to his seat. The students cheered.
For the rest of the ride, Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran talked quietly about Mioki and tried to think of a plan to defeat her.
