A/N: Sorry that I haven't uploaded any chapters for this fic for SO long. I tried avoiding this story because of the writters block i've had. I had even forgotten that I had already written a second chapter! Well, onto ch. 3!
Let's Play Mommy and Daddy!

Chapter 3 Great, Just Great
Sakura woke with a HUGE headache as she sat up. She felt absolutely miserable. Slowly, and tiredly, her eyes made their way towards the crib. 'What the...' She thought. Slowly, the situation at hand registered into her mind. "OMG! Where's the baby?!" She looked around frantically till her leg hit something cold. She looked down at her tangled covers around her legs. She sighed as she leaned back against the headboard. The dang doll was tangled in the covers.
She finally sat back up after she had let her heart calm down. She narrowed her eyes at it. This thing was a BIG problem. After a few minutes of glaring, she swung her legs over the side of her bed and got dressed.
Sakura set her glass of orange juice down as she sighed. Just then, Touya walked in. "Hey Kaijuu." No reply. He quirked an eyebrow as he gave his sister a weird look. Just then, "IM NOT A KAIJUU!!!" She yelled, almost blowing him away. He stared at her. That REALLY was loud. Actually, extremely loud. He turned back to whatever he was doing before almost being blown away by the yelling of his sister.
Sakura smirked. Right under the counter, in her hand was the BIG card. She had used it as an Amp for her voice. And it worked. Now, maybe her brother would shut his mouth for once. But, unfortunately, no.
"So, why is a monster wearing a dress? I thought monsters didn't wear dresses." "That's none of your business." He was quiet for a few seconds, but not for long. "Also, why are you wearing a SUMMER dress? It's not summer ya know." "I know." He shrugged as he grabbed his plate of Pancakes and milk and sat at the table, across from Sakura.
"So, what are you doing today?" He asked. "Im going someplace." "Oh. And why are you STILL carrying that doll around?" "I told you. It's a project that you wouldn't understand." He shrugged and continued to eat. "And, the answer to your othe question," She knew that this would burst his bubble. Anyways, he had it comming. "Im going to my Husbands house." Touya spit his milk out as he started choking. After he had caught his breath, he stood up and started yelling. "WHY WASN'T I INFORMED ABOUT THIS?! AND YOU'RE TO YOUNG TO BE MARRIED! AND WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!" Sakura just yawned, which of course, made his blood boil. "AND WHO, MAY I ASK, WHO, IS THIS GUY THAT YOUR... YOUR..." "Married to?" Touya cringed at the word 'Married'. Slowly, he narrowed his eyes. "I bet it's that chinese GAKI. Isn't it? ISN'T IT?!" Sakura grinned at him. He really did have a sister complex. "And why would you want to know?" She asked innocently. He slammed his hands onto the table and stood up. "Just wait till I get my hands on him." He mumbled as he grabbed his coat and opened the front door and exited and slammed the door.
Sakura quickly grabbed the doll as she went after Touya.
As Sakura stood outside on the porch, she noticed tire marks going from the driveway and then, going the OPPOSITE way of Syaoran's house. She sighed. Thank Kami-sama that he didn't know where Syaoran lived, or else Syaoran would be dead by the time she reached his house... or Touya. One of them anyways. She looked towards the sky as she heard a rolling rumbling. Overhead was storm clouds. 'Better get walkin.' said mentally to herself.
On her way to Syaoran's house, it started to sprinkle and the wind was getting really strong. She looked around. Good. No one was around. She had called her star wand out and soon after that, she pulled the DASH out of her pocket. Just as she tossed the card out to hit it with the wand, the card took flight into the wind.
Sakura looked around frantically as the card had disappeared. Then, she felt a pull on her magical senses. She looked towards the tree's near the Penguin park. Then, she saw the distressed card flying over the trees. She quickly pulled the FLY out, and THIS time, hit the card while it was in her hand.
Quickly responding to it's mistress, the FLY grew a pair of large slightly pink wings on her back. Then, she took off.
As she was chasing the card, the wind had picked up even more and a downpour had started with Thunder in the background. She just HAD to catch that card. Suddenly, the wind changed directions and was now fighting her and the card was heading her way. She outstretched her arm and just as the wind grew stronger, and the card was about to blow past her, she grabbed it, but just as she did, she went flying. Doing tumbles and flips in the air while her white summer dress was clinging to her.
As she was fighting to get in control again, she heard the doll in her arms start giggling for the first time. 'Oh, NOW it chooses to get happy.' She thought sarcastically as she finally got control of herself. She decided that flying to Syaoran's house was a bad idea. Maybe walking or running would be better.
She landed about a block away from Syaoran's house and decided to use the DASH but this time, she wouldn't toss it out like she had the first time.
~Syaoran's house~
Syaoran tiredly stretched and yawned at the same time as he stood to answer the door. Who ever was out now was crazy.
When he reached the door, he slowly opened it. But as soon as he saw that a soaked Sakura was standing there, he quickly stood aside as she came in, shivering. She handed him the mud covered doll as she quickly took her shoes off and wrapped her arms around herself. "C-Can I borrow a p-pair of clothes?" She asked. But he didn't answer.
Syaoran was starting to sweat from nervousness as he continued to look at HER in front of him. A hot blush crept up and onto his cheeks. He was too busy looking at SOMETHING to notice her question.
"S-Syaoran...." She said again as she waved a shivering hand in front of his face. Suddenly, he jumped. "H-Hai?" He said quickly. A little too quickly. "I s-said, could I b-borrow a pair of clothes?" He quickly nodded and took one more glance before running off to his room. "I wonder what he was looking at?" She said, still clueless.
He continued to search for something that would at least, partly fit her. His cheeks grew red again as an image of what he saw back there entered his mind. He shook his head. "I have to stop thinking about that. Im turning into a pervert..." He said under his breath. Then, he pulled out a pair of weird clothes. He stared at them for a moment. "Wait a sec... these aren't mine... these are... Meilings." He said as he sighed. She had left these by accident from her last visit. Actually, they weren't WEIRD, just something that he would NEVER wear. Then Sakura came to his mind. He wasn't sure if even SHE would wear them. Well, maybe the shirt, but the shorts were... kinda short. And thinking about Sakura... He gasped. He had forgotten that she was still standing there with her wet... okay, he would stop there.
Sakura stood there, shivering, yet, patient. Then, suddenly, Syaoran burst out of his room. "Here." He said as he handed them to her. "You wear t-these?" She asked as she eyed the clothes. "No. Meiling left these on her last visit." Sakura nodded and took them. "Could I use y-your shower?" He nodded. "The one down the hall is clogged, so, you'll have to use the one connected to my room." He said as he tried to avoid looking at her, which of course, was unsuccessful. She nodded, and just as she was about to run off, she stopped to tell him something. "If Touya's at the door, don't answer it unless you want to be dead by tonight." He nodded, then, she ran off.
He sighed a sigh of relief when she had left. If she stood there any longer, he was going to pass out. He looked at the doll. What a mess. At least it was waterproof. He took it to the kitchen to get it cleaned up.
Sakura came out of the bathroom ten minutes later with Meilings clothes on. She felt REALLY uncomfortable in them. Well, the shorts anyways. The shirt wasn't so bad, but, the shorts HAD to go.
She walked into the living room to find Syaoran watching a soccer match on TV with a clean doll sitting next to him. "Syaoran..." He looked up at her. "Um... I don't mean to be rude or anything, but, could I use a different pair of pants?" He smiled then nodded. "I wasn't sure if you would like what I gave you, so, I took the liberty of having an extra pair of clothes ready for ya." She smiled at him as she thanked him. "Arigato." He nodded and motioned her to follow him.
"Here. You might have to use a belt." He said as he gave her a pair of his shorts which of course, MUCH larger than Meilings short shorts. She took them and looked at them. "I never realized that you wore such large pants before." He shrugged. "Well, hurry up, dinner's almost here ready." She nodded as he left his room and shut the door.
After Sakura had finally gotten the over sized shorts on, and got the belt tightened, she started to look around his room. This was the first actual time that she got to look around his room. She noticed the dark green covers and curtains, then after that, she noticed a picture hanging on his wall. She walked over to examine it. "Pretty..." She whispered as she continued to look at it. It was picture of a Sakura tree with a small wolf curled under it's shade. It was painted with water color. She decided to look around some more. Of course, she didn't pry. Just looked at things out in the open.
When she came to a small table next to his bed, she noticed the Sakura bear she had given to him several years ago. She picked it up and smiled. She remembered when she had given it to him and he had promised that he would return. Of course they didn't admit their undying love to eachother, it was more of a friendship thing more than anything else. Or so she thought. But, now, she didn't feel that way towards him anymore. The feeling was deeper and more loving than before. She sighed as she set the bear down and picked up a picture. She smiled again. This was from the time they were in the 4th grade. She remembered that time. It was at the beach when she had gone on a field trip with her class, hoping that it would be a 'normal' field trip, but instead, she had captured the ERASE card.
She quickly set the picture down as she heard a knock on the door. "Hey Sakura, aren't you done yet?" "H-Hai!" She said as she went to the door and opened it. And there stood Syaoran with a bit of worry written on his face as he sighed. "What took you so long? I was starting to think that you passed out or something in there." She smiled as she ruffled his hair. "Im fine. You worry too much." She said as she walked out of his room towards the kitchen.
"So, what's for dinner?" "Um... is Terriyaki okay with you?" She nodded. He rushed over and pulled a seat out for her. "Aren't you the gentlemen?" She said she sat down. She wanted to kiss him for being so sweet to her since she first walked in, but, she had to refrain herself. Who knows, what if he didn't like her back? She mentally shrugged. Right now, dinner was awaiting.
He set a plate down in front of her before seating himself.
"So, Sakura, how come you don't want me to answer the door if it's Touya? I really wouldn't mind. Heck, I can't stand being around him for a few seconds!" Sakura giggled. "Well, Touya thinks that we're really married and now, he wants to kill you." Syaoran gulped. "No wonder why you gave me the warning. I mean, I COULD handle myself and all, but, gee..." She smiled as she stood up and headed for the sink with her plate and glass. "Here, let me clean it." Syaoran said as he headed for the sink with his dishes too. "No. I'll do this." She said. "But I can..." She placed a finger on his lips. "I can do this. Besides, I have to do something for you since you're such a good host." "But host's are SUPPOSE to..." She set her hand on his shoulder. "Just let me handle this. Go watch TV or something. "I'll be there in a few minutes." He sighed and agreed and left to go do something else.
Sakura hummed to herself as she was just about finished cleaning. She continued to smile at the thought of kindness. He really was something. She started to blush at the thought of him. Just then, she snapped back into reality with something in her mouth. Her eyes looked down and she pulled it out. "Hey! Keep that in!" Syaoran said as he took the themometer out of her hands and sticking it back in her mouth. "Why?" "Because, you're not looking so well. You were starting to turn pink and you had a hazy look in your eyes." He pulled the themometer out of her mouth as it started beeping. "Hmm...you're temp. is a bit high..." Just then, it hit her. She grinned evilly mentally. 'I wonder how he would act if I was REALLY sick. Time to put on the act.' She thought. "Come to think of it," She said as she dried her hands on a towel while he was turned. "I don't feel so well..." The only thing that she needed was sleep actually.
He quickly turned towards her and swept her off of her feet. "Ah!" She said as she was caught off guard. He headed towards the living room and set her down on the couch and left. This was quite unexpected. Then, he returned with some blankets.
Soon after, he was sitting next to Sakura as she had her head on his lap and had fallen asleep....
To be continued....
