Chapter 2: The Stone Inside Him

------------------------- (Sakura's POV)-------------------------

"Sakura..." I felt a small tiny paw pat my shoulder. "Hmm?" I groaned. "There is something I want to tell you...... YOU ARE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" I suddenly stood up. "WHAT?! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?" Kero looked at me "about a..... million times!" there was a point of sarcasm. "WHATEVER!" I finally sighed as I changed. That was just perfect! A day after our victory, and I'm late for school. Well, okay... I've always been late for school (^-^;) but anyway it was Kero's fault.

I already was down. "Bye Dad...... Touya" I glared at him as he glared back. "So long monster" he said looking at the newspaper. "I'm not a monster" I shouted. "Aren't you late for school?" I looked at him furious, but he was right. I closed the door and started skating my way. (I just hope I make it!) RIIIIIIINNNNG! (Never mind!) I entered the classroom panting as I grabbed the wall. I looked up. The teacher hadn't arrived. "You made it!" Tomoyo came smiling. (Barely) I went and sat down in my chair as I sank in it, taking a deep and long sigh.      

------------------------- (Syaoran's POV)-------------------------

That was just so typical of Sakura. Being late. She just never changes. But I don't mind, she actually looks cute when she is in a hurry. And I don't care if she's not perfect. But she is to me. "Late again Sakura?" I asked teasing her. She turned around. Facing me. "Don't start" she said narrowing her eyes in a funny way. "Make me" I narrowed them back. "So, the mighty Syaoran doesn't want to stop, and wants a taste of his own medicine" she said narrowing them even more. "Yeah, and what are you going to do about it?" I asked chuckling. She got even closer from her chair, but did not move from it. We stared at each other making eye contact. "Well, to shut up that big mouth of yours..." she giggled. "Hey..." I was just about to argue when she stopped me with one single kiss. We pulled back. "Got enough?" she asked. "Nope, and I wont stop" I said crossing my arms. She raised an eyebrow.

------------------------- (Tomoyo's POV)-------------------------

I stared at Sakura and Syaoran playing. It was great that they were a couple. They both made a perfect match. [AN: You said it!] I loved seeing Sakura happy, and she made me happy. But still, I felt a hole inside my heart. Was it really Eriol? If he only knew how much I loved him. (Whoa, did I just say that?) No, it's a mistake. I mean, how in the world could Eriol get to notice me? I'm just some ordinary girl, while he is... well Clow Reed! The teacher then came, and we had normal class. I sighed. If I could only feel, what love is. (Must be great) I turned to see Syaoran picking on Sakura on the back. He laughed as he saw a rather bugged Sakura, but then she would laugh.

What would Eriol say to me? What if he says no? I better not risk it. I mean, it's too dangerous. And besides, I got to get busy filming Sakura, and making her dresses. Yes, that's it. I have to...

------------------------- (Sakura's POV)-------------------------

I yawned as class was finally over. (About time!) I started to pick up my books. And Syaoran snatched one. "Hey, give me back my book!" I said trying to reach it. But he just raised it higher. (Talk about the advantages of being taller) "No, I will carry them for you" he said hiding the book under his back. "Syaoran, I can do it by myself!" I said trying to grab it, but he grabbed my others. "Not another word" he said. "Okay" I gave up as I smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow, Tomoyo" I waved at her. "Sure, Sakura! Bye Syaoran" she waved back. Syaoran also waved, as we went out.

Were now outside of school. "Now, you will see me practice" he said. "What makes you think that?" Syaoran made like he was thinking. "Cause I helped you carry your books..." I knew there was something about it. "Not a chance" I said now teasing him. "Aw, common, please?" he made a kind of sad puppy face. "No" I said staring at another direction. He knelt on his knees, and kissed my hand. "Would you please do it, my princess?" he held on. (How could I resist him?!)  "Hmm... okay" "Really?" he smiled. "Yes, you won" "Alright!" he exclaimed grabbing and carrying me in his arms.

"Okay guys, lets do it!" I heard the coach say. I started watching Syaoran and the other guys, as I sat on the grass under the shade of a tree on a low hill. My legs stretched out. I started thinking. (What if I write a diary?) A diary would be so awesome! But then Touya would probably spy on it... unless I hide it very well. And then it hit me. It would be great to then read it when you're older, and find out that what stupid things you did when you were 15 years old. I started imagining the thought, and laughed. I felt totally relaxed here. But then something made me worry. I took out my pen and a pink notebook that was new. And started writing...

Dear Diary:

It's been another one of those days. Syaoran, as teasing as he can be, but really changed. I have known that Syaoran has almost all of his life been as hard as a rock. And I continue to feel it. Deep inside those smiles. Waiting one day to return again. Ever since he got the courage to tell me a chapter of his life, I hadn't realized how harsh and tough it was for him. I understood him, when he told me that he didn't have a father. I had felt that too. I don't have a mother.

I stared at my writing as a tear slid down my cheek and fell on the paper. (Whoa, I can be such a drama queen sometimes...)

But I got over it, as much as he got over it. And I'm happy for my mom. Anyway, I don't think that its fair, for a guy at his age to go under a lot of training and pressure. He is on the soccer team, and trains for hours. And spends the rest of the time training at home fencing, fighting and increasing his magic. I admire him. He has high grades, and he is perfect. No other word can describe him. But I still think that he should take a break. Just for a while. I'm thinking of planning something...

Sakura

I closed my notebook and sighed. It felt good to write or share your feelings. "What, already bored?" Syaoran asked as he sat beside me. "No, not at all" I said as I hid the pink book. (I can't tell him) I thought as I smiled. He now stared at the sun. I stared at it. It was beautiful. The clouds were puffy and white like cotton. The sky was as blue as ever. And the sun was shining with all his might. I leaned my head on his shoulder. (But until, that old Syaoran comes out, I'll live the best I can with the guy who I'm leaning into)
