Chapter 2: The lock up.
For the first time in a while,
Sakura Kinomoto, was early to school. But of course, the consequences of that
fact were that she had one eye open and the other one closed.
She was lazily putting away her
books in her locker when she yanwed
loudly, calling everyone's atention.
She sweatdropped and then closed the
door of her locker revealing a familiar shadow standing behind it. She looked
up and saw Syaoran standing there with a smile on his face and red rose on his
hand.
Sakura smiled and blushed taking the
flower. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He said still
smiling for her.
Although he usually never smiles, he
could do it just for her. And ever since they became a couple (thanks to a
misterious handcuffs), she could see him smile more frequently.
"You look kinda of tired... didn't
get a good night sleep?" He asked once they started walking together to their
classroom. He grab hold of her hand and locked his fingers between hers.
"No..." She answered and yawned
again. "Kero stood up all night playing video games and he didn't let me sleep
very well."
"That stuffed animal..." He murmured
with a frown, but then changed his expression and turned to her. "But still you
look beautiful..."
Sakura couldn't help but to blush
again. "Hoe..."
"Konnichiwa, Sakura-chan,
Li-kun!!" Tomoyo greeted when she
approched them with a huge smile on her face.
"Hi, Tomoyo!" Sakura said smiling.
"Hi!" Syaoran said.
"And how are we these morning? Oh...
what a nice rose, I wonder who gave it to you?" Tomoyo asked eying Syaoran
suspiciously.
Syaoran sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Yes, Tomoyo, I gave it to her..."
"Oh, that's soooo kawaii! I have to
record this!" She exclaimed taking out her video camera.
Sakura only sweatdropped when her
best friend started recording her. "Tomoyo... don't you think it's getting
kinda boring recording me all the time?"
"Well, of course not, Sakura-chan!
Oh, you don't look like you had a good night sleep..."
"I actually didn't." Sakura said
yawning again. Somehow, everytime somebody metioned that she didn't sleep well,
she yawned.
"Well, looks like somebody had a
worst night..." Syaoran comented when he saw Eriol passing by them with a very
depressed look on his face, something very unlike him.
"Hey, Eriol-kun!" Sakura greeted.
He stopped walking and turned to
them composing himself and hidding his left hand behind his back. "Konnichiwa,
Sakura-chan, Li-kun, Daidouji-san!" He greeted politely.
Tomoyo rolled her eyes and turned
her head in another direction. "Good morning, Hiiragizawa-kun." She said and
then turned to Sakura. "Come on, Sakura-chan, let's go to the classroom, we
have service today!"
Sakura and Syaoran shared glares for
a while, then she shruged and took off with Tomoyo.
* * *
Sakura and Tomoyo walked quietly to
the classroom. Sakura had noticed that her best friend had been acting a little
weird every time she was with Eriol, so she decided to drop the question.
"Tomoyo... did something happened
between you and Eriol-kun?"
Tomoyo stopped. She had a frown on
her face and was looking at the floor. A misterious sound, more like a growl,
escapped her lips and then she answered. "No, nothing happened. It's just that
Hiiragizawa-kun it's just a baka!" She cried making emphazis on the word baka.
"Nani? Why do you say that?" She
asked with a puzzled look.
Tomoyo's eyes began to water and
then she took hold of Sakura's hands. "He... he... insulted me...."
Flashback
That afternoon, Tomoyo was watching
one of Sakura's famous card captoring tapes in the school auditorium when Eriol
Hiiragizawa walked in.
"Hi, Tomoyo-chan... what's that
you're looking?" He asked as he approched her.
"Hey, Eriol-kun... oh, this is one
of Sakura's card captoring scenes I recorded. She looks so kawaii in that
dress!!" She exclaimed with sparkling eyes.
"You think so? I don't think she
looks nice it that dress... it's horrible, I wonder where she got it?"
Tomoyo's eyes windened in suprise.
She couldn't believe her ears... the dress was horrible??! Her dress was
horrible??!
"For your information... I
made that dress!!" She cried angrily.
"Really??!" He asked with a confused
look in his face. "Well, I don't think it's a nice dress..."
Tomoyo's eyes began to water. "It is
a nice dress!! I made it especially for Sakura-chan to wear!!!" She cried and
then got up from her seat to leave the room.
"Tomoyo-chan... don't be mad for
something so stupid..." He said trying to calm her down, but only suceded in
making her more angry.
"Well, excuse me. But I don't think
it's something stupid... and I would prefer if you adress to me by my last
name, Hiiragizawa-kun!" And with that she left the room.
End of flashback
A huge sweatdropped rolled down
Sakura's forehead.
"You're mad at him because he said
that the dress wasn't nice?" Sakura asked.
"Yes!! And he said it was
horrible... how can he say something like that when all the dresses I made for
you are so kawaii?? And they make you look kawaii??!" She asked dreamly
thinking of new models to make.
"Uh, yeah... how could he?" Sakura
asked raising and eyebrow. She sure didn't want to disagree with Tomoyo. She
was pretty scary when she was mad, so decided to go along with her.
"Thank you, Sakura-chan... you
always support me no matter what!" She exclaimed hugging her friend.

The first class was japanese. To
much for Syaoran, who was trying hard go along with the book he was reading.
The teacher told them that they
could pick any book and start reading it for the whole hour, after that they
had to make an essay about the book.
Although Syaoran had almost five
years living in Japan, japanese was not his favorite subject and he still had
trouble knowing the meaning of some words.
He scratched his head and decided to
take a small break. He closed the book and turned his atention to another part
of the classroom when a misterious sparkling caught his atention.
Slowly, he turned his head to his
right and saw Eriol reading a book. He trailed his eyes to his left wrist and
notice a shinning object attached to it, he couldn't get a good view of it
since it was half covered by the sleeve of his uniform.
"Hiiragizawa...."
"Hmm?" He asked turning his atention
to him.
"... what's that?" Syaoran asked
indicating the gold shinning object on his hand.
Eriol looked down to his wrist and
paled when he discovered that the handcuffs were showing a little. Quickly he
covered it with his right hand and pulled down the sleeve.
"It's nothing..." He lied turning
his atention back to the book.
Syaoran eyed him suspicoiusly. He
certainly didn't get along very well with Eriol, but he knew when he was acting
weird. Especially, since he hasn't picked on him during the day.
He looked one more time at Eriol's left
wrist before turning back to his own book again. *Nothing? We'll see about
that...*
* * *
"Why... are you wearing a jacket?"
Asked Syaoran eying Eriol in a suspicious way.
Eriol turned his atetion to Syaoran.
Took a deep breath and then answered his question.
"I'm cold."
"You're a cold? We are in plain
summer and you are cold?"
"Yeah, it's pretty chilly out here."
He answered hidding his left hand behind his back.
They were in P.E. The guys just
changed their uniforms and were about to start a soccer game, when Eriol came
out of the locker room wearing a jacket.
By that time Syaoran knew perfectly
well that he was hidding something. But what could it be? What could the
reincarnation of Clow Reed posibly be hidding from everyone else?!
Whatever it was, it was on his left
wrist. And he was going to find out what it was no matter what.
"Sure... whatever you say." Syaoran said sendng him a
'I-know-you-are-hiding-something' glare.
Eriol only smiled one of his evil
grins and then turned his atention to something else. He was aware that his
cute descendant was suspecting something so he had to be careful with every
step he took from now on.
* * *
Math was the last class they had
that day. The new teacher, Takamashi-sensei, was explaining something about the
assignment they had to do when Sakura fell into dream land.
Syaoran who was seated behind her,
noticed this and stared at her for a moment. She looked so cute when she was
sleeping, even though it wasn't the time to actually be sleeping.
"Sakura..." He whispered into her
ear. When he didn't get an answer from her, he called louder. "Sakura!...
Sakura!!!"
"NANI??!
Syaoran??!" She cried out loud, waking up from her
dream.
Every single person in the classroom
turned to see the now blushing Sakura and cracked up in laughs.
"Miss Kinomoto... I asume that you
had a very pleasent dream?" Asked Takamashi-sensei eying her suspiciosly. "But
I would be grateful if you pay atention to what I'm saying! That goes for you
too Li-san!"
"Hai, hai..." Both Sakura and
Syaoran nodded and looked down, still blushing.
"You were dreaming about me?"
Syaoran whispered into Sakura's ear with a mischievous tone. Sakura only
blushed in response.
He sighed and leaned back into his
seat smiling.
It had been quite a boring day for
Syaoran and right now he wasn't in a mood for math, even though it was his
favorite subject.
He trailed his eyes around the
classroom and found himself looking at Eriol's left wrist again. What was that
misterious bulge?? He spent all day trying to figure it out, but everytime he
was close to see whatever it was, Eriol covered it with his hand or sleeve.
*Damn, Hiiragizawa...* He thought and turned his atention back to the
teacher.
"The exercises are on page 58 and
it'll afect your grades, so please pair up with the person behind you and start
the assignment..." Takamashi-sensei
trailed off, while the class started to settle.
Syaoran stretched and then looked up
to see Sakura who was alredy turned around smiling at him. He smiled back at
her and then searched for his math book inside his school bag, but when he
turned around he finally saw it.
Eriol was fixing his glasses on his
face with his left hand, when his sleeve falled down revealing the gold
handcuffs that Syaoran immediately recognized. They were the same handcuffs
that a couple of months ago locked him and Sakura together.
His eyes windended in suprise when a
evil idea crossed his mind. It was payback time, payback for all the things
Eriol had done to him...
"All right... let's just get this
over with." Tomoyo said turning around to her right to face Eriol.
Eriol sighed and then looked at her.
"Sure, Daidouji-san..."
And there was his chance. In a quick
move, Syaoran grabbed hold of the other side of the handcuff that was showing
and locked it on Tomoyo's right wrist with a loud and, somehow, glad to his
ears, clang.
Eriol's eyes popped out of his
socket when the same scene repeated in front of his eyes in slow motion over
and over again.
He blinked a couple of times and
then came back to reality, to face a suprised Tomoyo, now attached to him by
the handcuffs.
"What did you do?!?!" Cried Eriol
turning to Syaoran with a real evil look.
"Hey... they locked up." Syaoran
commented,suprised to the fact that the handcuffs only closed on two people
that had 'potential for true love'. *Hiiragizawa and Daidouji?!?!*
"What?" Asked Tomoyo, now realizing
what just happened. She looked at her right wrist and found a gold handcuff
attached to it. She trailed her eyes and found on the other side another wrist,
that happened to be Eriol's left wrist. "Hey, I recognize these things....
nooooo....."
"What locked?" Asked Sakura turning
her atetion to Tomoyo and Eriol.
"NO!!! This can't be happening!!!!"
Yelled Tomoyo trying to take off the handcuffs.
"All right! That's it... Kinomoto,
Li, Daidouji and Hiiragizawa... I had enough of you. You're all going to
detention!!" Takamashi-sensei cried losing her temper. She usually wasn't a
moody teacher but this had done it.
"But what did I do?" Sakura asked
with a sad look on her face.
"Now!" Cried Takamashi-sensei.
They all got up from their seats and
headed to the detention room.
