Suko: ...*sigh* I re-read my last chapter, and I found so many mistakes!-.-;; At the ending of the sence where it's T+E, it said '...so he could carry his princess home with her having to walk herself with an excuse' ...Can any spot a HUGE mistake?X/ The whole point of the sentence. So I'm sorry for those who read it and was like, 'What...?! Why is Eriol so selfish?!' ^^; It's supposed to be without instead of with. I changed it already, and hope that clears something up...XD
Suko: Okay, just a quick review... S+F are definitely happy together at the moment, and so are T+E. Syaoran is in Clover Springs, but left to find Sakura. Simple, ne?

Chapter 6: The Search continues




Syaoran left Clover Springs a while ago. Now holding a warm cup of moca (A/N: I don't drink coffee and don't really know any coffee names@.@ So please don't blame me if moca isn't real cuz I heard of something like that...!), he glanced around the city.

"Where is the Kinomoto residence? I have to remember!" Syaoran muttered to himself.

"Come one, come on... Think! Oh! Try the Daidouji mansion first... I wonder if Tomoyo is still mad at me... Probably. But I have to try anyway..."

Syaoran suddenly remembered. His cell! The last person to call him on it was Tomoyo! Syaoran quickly whipped out his cell phone. Star 69, star 69! he quickly urged himself. Then he put his ear to the phone.

Five minutes later...

Syaoran headed for the Tomoeda Elementary School. Tomoyo lived near the school. The operator on the phone told him.

Three hours later...

Standing in front of a large, large mansion, Syaoran sighed in relief. He finally found Tomoyo's house. Either the operator got the address wrong, or he got it wrong. But both ways, he got lost and walked in circles for hours. Hesitantly, he knocked on the door. A girl with amethyst eyes answered the door.

"Fei! You're early!" She exclaimed. "Where's Sa... Syaoran Li?!" Tomoyo thundered. Syaoran took a step forward, only to be pushed back by Tomoyo.

"What are you doing here? What are you doing in Tomoeda? What are you even doing in Japan?!" she yelled.

"But To-" "Daidouji-san! And if you're here to see Kinomoto-san, then you are not welcome! She doesn't want to see you and I don't want her happiness driven away by you! She has Fei and is happy! Go away!" Tomoyo continued, not letting Syaoran speak.

"But Daidouji-san! I just-"

Tomoyo's eyes flashed. This was the angriest Syaoran had ever seen Tomoyo be. Frankly, it's wasn't pleasant. What happened to the days where she helped him get the affections of Sakura? Syaoran took a step down the stairs.
br> "Daidouji-san, I just want to see Saku-"

"Kinomoto-san!"

"K-Kinomoto-san again! Please? I have something important to say to her." Tomoyo shook her head.

"No! If it's to say something like 'I love you, please love me' then I'm sorry, but that's a double no! Please get off my property before I call in the police!" Tomoyo shoved the door closed. Feeling rejected, Syaoran left.

'This Hei Feng should be old. Old enough to own an apartment by himself, that's it!' Syaoran thought. He grabbed his cell and clicked on the 'White pages' button (A/N: I'm not sure whether or not if cells really have those, but if they don't, just pretend it's a new Japanese feature@.@) He typed up... Nothing. Hei Feng. What was his last name? Sakura hadn't told him. Had she? Syaoran forgot. So he typed 'Kinomoto' instead. About 60 names popped up. Syaoran listed them by first name and glanced under 'F', just as he remembered... No. (A/N: Remember? Chapter 10... the sad thing X/ )

Sakura was probably with Hei Feng, and coming over to Tomoyo's soon, so Syaoran hid in nearby bushes. And he was right.

"Sakura-chan, Fei, it's nice to see you! Come in, come in!" Syaoran heard Tomoyo's far voice.

'...I wonder how long this will take... But I'll wait as long as I have to for Sakura!' Syaoran thought.

The next day, morning...'

Rustle! Syaoran sat up quickly. What was that noise? And what was this annoying thing piercing at his face?! He turned around. It was a branch. Syaoran flinched. The branch cut him. It was sharp! But... what was he doing in... a bush?! Syaoran stood up.

'I... I fell asleep in the bush waiting for Sakura to come out yesterday!'

(A/N: I just couldn't keep myself from writing that^^; Shaoran is soooo cute when he does something stupid, ne? XD)

Syaoran gently touched the blood on his face. It was a deep cut. He better get back to the hotel and cover it up. He took one quick last look at the Daidouji mansion and left.


Syaoran looked at himself in the mirror. The cut didn't seem that bad after all... But the bright white bandage was so outstanding... The hotel didn't have any skin-coloured (A/N: What else am I supposed to say? XD Regular? I think that the white ones are the actually ones, but I'm not sure...) bandages. Just bad luck for him.


Leaving his room, Syaoran went in search for his beloved Sakura once again. He wondered if he'd ever see her again. Maybe, but would she be ecstatic to see him?

Syaoran trudged through the sidewalk.

'I wonder if everything's okay back in Hong Kong. Hope so.'


About two hours later...

Sakura smiled at Fei. He took her out again, this time back to the park.

'Fei-kun is so nice and I love him...' she thought. But soon, her mind wandered off subject.

'He's so cute too, just like... Shao-kun. ...That's right. I hope that Syaoran's okay. Tomoyo never said anything about that telephone call she had the night I came back to Japan. I wish I hadn't done that, but...!'

'I wish I hadn't done that?! What am I thinking, Li is just a spoiled king now. He's changed, you have to remind yourself that people change!' She blushed. (A/N: So, our little cherry blossom is thinking about our little wolf, ne?^.~ This could get interesting...:D)

"Sasaki-chan? Daijoubu?" Fei asked Sakura when he saw her blush.

"Hoe...? ...Oh! Iie, I'm fine..." Sakura replied sheepishly.

"Okay."

In the park

"Fei-kun, don't you just love the flowers?" Sakura asked dreamily. Fei said nothing but put his hand on her shoulder.

One block away from the park...

Syaoran wondered around the streets.

'Where was Tomoyo's mansion again?! I knew it was here somewhere...' He thought.

'Geez, this is hopeless!'

In the background, Syaoran heard laughing and shouting, but he ignored it to listen for clues. But when it hit him that Sakura could be one of those people, laughing and having so much fun, he sighed.

A cherry blossom petal fell past Syaoran's shoulder.

'I wonder if Sakura's thinking about me now...'

He caught the petal gently.

'I know I'm thinking about her...'
