WARNING: Fluff Approaching.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Room 4-11 *

"Tomoyo-chan!" shouted Sakura Kinomoto as she burst into room 4-11 on a Tuesday morning. "Sakura-chan! You made it! Mr. Terada isn't here yet!" cried the darker haired girl jumping up to great her best friend. Sakura sat down, next to Tomoyo in her normal spot. "Where's Li-kun?" she asked looking around. "Mr. Punctual? I don't know." Replied Tomoyo as Mr. Terada walked in.

*Later *~~~~~~~~~~~~

"…And that completes the lesson for today. Are there any questions?" asked Ms. Midori. As the class picked up there things. "Ahh…I noticed Li was gone today. Does any one want to get his homework for him?" Sakura's head shot up. "Kinomoto-san? Would you like to? You seem very eager to do this task for me." Sakura blushed; Tomoyo looked over at Eriol and giggled. Sakura ended up running the errand for Ms. Midori anyway. She went up the street, her roller blades going slower with each turn. 'Baka, baka, baka!' she thought to herself as she went up the next drive. 'Why me?' She tripped her way up the steps and pressed the buzzer. It took a few minutes and just as she turned to leave. "Hello? Syaoran Li speaking." "Uhh…oh hi…ummm…it's me Sakura…I've got your homework…" "Okay." He pressed the buzzer and let her in. She took the stairs slowly and stopped at his door. Number 502. She let herself in and instantly regretted it. But it was to late. "H…Hello? Li- kun?" "'Lo" Said Syaoran coming into the room, his auburn hair was tousled and his cheeks were tinged with pink. "I…have your homework." Sakura got out in a rush. "Thanks." He said in a rather stuffy voice, he reached for the books and for a split second his hand brushed hers. "Li-kun! You're burning up!" "It's jus' a cod." He replied looking up, there eyes met. Sakura sighed, "Li-kun. Bed. Now." She ordered him pointing the direction she thought his room would be. He looked at her curiously; Sakura had never ordered him around what's more she had never really talked to her. He trudged toward his room, and felt Sakura's gaze follow him to the next hall. Sakura changed from her school outfit into a simple hoodie, tank top and shorts and went to the small kitchen. After a few moments of searching, she produced a small bowl full of ice water and a towel. Turning off the light, she marched towards the direction he had gone.

The first room on the left that Sakura stepped into was a pale pink, obviously belonging to a previous owner, or sibling. It felt strangely familiar though. A small photo lay on the white iron dresser; she walked over and looked at the photo. It was yellowed and cracked along the edges, a wedding photo. She thought looking at the white dress, and tall cake in the background. The lady wearing the dress stood simply in a plain gown of white and pearls, her hair was fairly short and had two tiny flips at the top. Another person in the background standing next to the cake wore a darker shade of a different color and had longer darker hair pulled up in a ribbon. The only strange thing about the photo was that there wasn't a groom. The photo was torn along one side, missing the groom and any other person standing with him. Sakura stared at the photo for a minute then picked up the bowl of water and walked into the next room. This one was pale green and luckily held Syaoran. His sword was propped up in one corner along with his schoolbooks and desk. His bed sat somewhere between the middle and far side of the room. Syaoran was asleep on his side facing towards the door. She knelt beside the bed and submerged the cloth into the icy water; she flinched as a drop hit her face.

Hours Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Syaoran opened his eyes to see a small figure slumped over the side of his bed, he sat up slightly and the room spun. He fell back down against the pillows; Sakura moved and looked up sleepily. "Wha…" He smiled and lightly touched her shoulder, "It's almost midnight, and you might want to call home." "HOE!!!! I lost track of time! Onii-chan is going to kill me!" Sakura ran out the door, a moment later Syaoran heard the back door slam and knew she was gone. "I'm sorry Sakura…." He managed, then the world went black. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura pounded down the steps threw on her roller blades and skated as fast as she could down the road. As she rounded the corner, a dark figure stepped out from the corner in front of her. "Ahh!" Sakura screamed as she near about ran into the tall brunette. "Sakura!?" "Ms. Mitsuki!?" Sakura's teacher looked down at her. "We've been looking for you for hours Sakura!" "I'm…I'm sorry…Li-kun…" Suddenly Ms. Mitsuki looked at her worried. "Alright. Go home, I'll contact Toya and let him know we found you…" Ms. Mitsuki turned and quickly walked off. Sakura made her way home, to find her father and Yuki waiting for her. After being lectured by her dad for about 20 minutes, and getting a very worried look from Yuki when she didn't really react to her father's yelling, the real problem came home. Toya. Really if you've ever seen Toya this mad you've gotta tell me. He ranted and yelled for quite some time before looking at her in a strange way. "Plus…(pause)…Kaho tells me it was because of the little brat..." Sakura's eyes widened. "He…He is not!" she screamed the tears now streaming down her face. She stood, and ran up the stairs, slamming the door to her room. Cerberus was waiting for her in full form. "Sakura, where have you been? I was getting worried about you." He looked at the tears streaming down her face and his expression softened. "Sakura…" He sighed and started to slowly walk towards her. The moment was interrupted by Yueh, who suddenly walked into the room. "Sakura…" Cerberus gave Yueh a look and he shut up quickly. Then quite randomly (actually, if you know me random is life) Yueh walked over to Sakura bent down slightly and drew her into his arms. Sakura gasped. "Yueh..." He shook his head and simply held her until her sobs had stopped and she was left sitting in his embrace. He suddenly drew back as if he had just realized what he was doing. "Sakura…um…yes…your brother wishes to speak with you." She looked up. "I…I'm ...a...afraid..." she managed. "Sakura, you are the Clow mistress…" Said Cerberus quickly. She nodded and looked at them. "Will…you come with me?" "Yes, luckily your family knows about us, or it might be a little awkward." Said Yueh simply, as they headed down the stairs. Toya was on the phone, and looked up and kinda reminded Yueh of the first time they had been introduced, the way he looked whenever they were in their true forms. "Alright Kaho, I'm sure we'll see you shortly. G-bye." Toya set the receiver down and looked at Sakura. "Your boy-friends dying."
