(I dedicate this chapter to Laura-san! Those two reviews made me hurry up!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A flower field. - [Where...] - Long Blue Hair - [Who...?] - A kind smile. - [What...?] - Loving arms. - [...Why...?]
Flashes of blurry images filled the dreams of the young Kinomoto Sakura. It had been like this ever since she could remember. Just flashes of people, places and emotions that she didn't remember.
The sudden roar of a thunder wakes up the green eyed girl form her little trip to the past. - It's still raining...- She noticed.
"Sakura-chan..." A slight mumble makes her turn her head around, to see the small figure of the sleeping Kero-chan stirring in his sleep, while mumbling her name. "C'mon Sakura-chan... lets play again...." She giggled at that.
"Couldn't sleep either?" a masculine voice asks suddenly, surprising her. She turns around again, this time to see his new cell companion, sitting against the wall, looking at her with a calm expression. She smiled at him. "Nope" She stretched out. "Why can't you sleep?" she asked him.
"That stuffed animal of yours keeps snoring. He's too loud." He said, gesturing toward Kero-chan. Sakura giggled again. Suddenly, a cold breeze entered the little cell, making Sakura shiver. She looked at Syaoran, and asked. "Li-san, can I sit next to you?" Syaoran just stared dumbly at her. "Um.. sure..." Sakura stood up and sat next to him, who was still a little surprised by her actions. She just smiled at him. "If I sit next to you, we'll be warmer." She said, bringing her knees to her chin.
Syaoran felt a sudden heat hit his face. "Oh... right..." he said, unsure about what else to do.
They stayed like that, silent, for a few more minutes. Syaoran, still blushing, looked sideways towards Sakura. She seemed peaceful, with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at him. He immediately turned his head to look at the other side, blushing like hell. "Li-san? Daijoubu?"
"U-un! I'm okay!" he murmured. Sakura just stared at him confused.
After another few moments in silence, Syaoran cleared his throat. "Um, Kinomoto..."
"Sakura." She interrupted.
"uh?" He stared at her, confused. She just smiled again.
"I told you last night that you can call me Sakura, Li-san."
"Oh, right...." He blushed. "Well, Sakura, I just wanted to.... well... about last night..." it was obvious that this was pretty hard for him. "Is that... I was kind of harsh with you... and, well, I'm not a bad guy... I was just pissed off because of Father Leon, and, um.. well... you know..." he sighed, defeated. "Look, I just want to say that I'm sorry. I should have been nicer to you, and, well..." He held his hand out. "You want to be friends with me?" he asked with a sincere look on his face.
-
Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was this really the same boy that last night had been so cold with her? This flushed, nervous and shy boy?
-
Syaoran sighed and placed down his hand. "Well, I can't blame you if you don't want to be my friend, I acted like a real jerk last night..." he said looking down, before he was interrupted by two arms hugging his neck.
"Of course I want to be your friend, silly!!!" Sakura said happily while hugging him. "I'm so happy!!!" she hugged him tighter.
Slowly, Syaoran's mental functions started to go back to work, and so he realized what was happening, and ever so slowly he hugged her back.
~ * Some Time Later * ~
Sakura and Syaoran were chatting softly. It was morning already, and it was a sunny day. But even that didn't wakeup Kero from his dream with pudding.
"You came from China? That's great! And what happened with your family?" She asked.
Syaoran's expression turned sad. "My mom and Dad died on a car accident three years ago. My sisters and I were send to and orphanage after that. Two of my sisters were adopted, while the other two escaped from the orphanage. They promised to come back for me, so we could have a nice decent life." He said sadly. "They never came back."
Sakura looked at him with a sad expression too. "Li-san..."
Syaoran smiled a little and looked up at her. "Quit that sad expression out of your face, Sakura. Besides, you can stop calling me by my last name. After all, we're friend, right?"
Sakura smiled at this "Really? Great, Syaoran-kun!" she said happily.
Syaoran smiled some more at this. - She look better with a smile... - "Well, that was my story. What about yours?" he asked.
Sakura just kept smiling. "I don't remember." She said simply.
Syaoran blinked. "Uh?"
Sakura just kept her sweet smile on her face. "Is the truth. I can't remember my life before this orphanage."
"But..."
Syaoran was interrupted because a brick fell over his head.
"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura said, standing up worriedly. "daijoubu desu ka, Syaoran-kun?" she asked frantically at the poor kid, who had a huge bump on his head.
"Don't worry, I'm okay, Sakuras...." He said to two three Sakuras in front of him.
"Hoe?" Sakura blinked confused again.
"Oh dear... am I interrupting something here?" a new male voice came.
"Oh, hi Eriol-kun" Sakura said looking up to the place from where the brick fell from. "Please, give me a second, Syaoran-kun doesn't seem to be doing quite well." She said, trying to get Syaoran to lay on the bed and stop spinning around.
"I'm okay, Sakura---" Syaoran said, standing straight slowly. "At least, I think I'm okay..." he said still a little bit shaky.
"That's good, Syaoran-kun! Because I want you to meet a friend of mine." She said while taking him in front of the wall. "Syaoran-kun, this is Hiiragizawa Eriol-kun, my friend. Eriol-kun, this is Li Syaoran, my new friend and cell partner!" she announced happily.
Syaoran just looked at the hole from where the brick fell from. A pair of blue eyes were looking at him with and amused expression. Eriol was the first one to talk. "Why, hello, Li-kun! I trust that you won't take advantage of our innocent Sakura-san, considering your status as her partner in such a small place... well, in any case, I don't think our good Kerberos will let you touch her, anyway." His tone was cheery as Syaoran's face glowed red.
"W-WHAT!? I wouldn't do anything like that to anyone!!!" he said backing up until his back hit the opposite wall of the cell. Just then, another brick fell over his head.
"Syaoran-kun!" again, Sakura ran toward her friend, trying to help him.
"Oh my..." a sweet voice said worried. "Did I just hurt someone?"
"God morning, my dear Tomoyo-san. I trust that you had a pleasant night?" Eriol said in a happy tone.
"Good morning to you too, Eriol-kun. Indeed, I had a very pleasant night." She answered in the same happy tone. "But, may I ask what's all of this noise in here?" This scene was certainly amusing, since not everyday you hear two people talking from wall to wall, while in the middle of it a very worried girl was trying to get a boy to calm down and stop spinning around in the same place.
"It seems that our dear friend Sakura-san has made a new friend, who now is her cell partner too. It also looks like he isn't exactly the luckiest, my dear." Eriol spoke in a polite and friendly tone.
"Oh, I see. But it seems that Sakura-chan has finally got him to calm down." Tomoyo noticed.
Indeed, Sakura had finally managed to get Syaoran to lie down, and after a few moments, his mind seemed to work right again. "ouch..." he complained while touching his temples.
"Syaoran-kun..." Sakura said worriedly.
"Don't worry... ouch... I'm alright..." he said, standing up again.
"I see that you're quite a strong boy, Li-kun. My congratulations." Eriol said in an admired tone. Syaoran just growled at him.
"I must apologize, Li-san, since it was my fault. Let me introduce myself. I'm Daidouji Tomoyo, is a pleasure." Tomoyo said exactly in the same polite tone as Eriol.
Sakura smiled at her. "Hi, Tomoyo-chan, sorry I didn't greet you before." She turned to Syaoran. "Syaoran-kun, this is Tomoyo-chan, my other best friend."
When Syaoran saw Tomoyo's eyes thru the hole in the wall, he immediately turned to see Eriol's one. - Okay, this is creepy... the have exactly the same expression...creepy, creepy, creepy..." -
"Syaoran-kun, are you sure you're alright?" Sakura asked, fearing that the two bricks had had affected him somehow.
"...are the two of you... related... somehow...?" Syaoran asked Tomoyo and Eriol.
"The only relation that Tomoyo-san and I share is a very good friendship, that I hope will turn out in something more" Eriol said, winking an eye to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo blushed, but none saw it since they could only see her eyes. "Eriol-kun, you're such a flirt..." she said in a flirty tone too.
"That can't be helped. My words only respond to the beauty before my eyes." Eriol kept the game.
Tomoyo giggled. "Oh, Eriol-kun!"
Sakura and Syaoran sweatdropped. Syaoran turned to Sakura. "Are they always like that...?" he asked while the flirting continued between the other two kids.
Sakura just laughed nervously.
For Syaoran, things were just getting more interesting.
