Chibi Fanny: *sighs* Nobody wants to hear it. Besides you still haven't gotten back your History, Geography, Mathematics… *rants on*

Tomoyo: Anyway, don't you have something to tell Tirika?

Fanny chan: Oh yeah! Tikira? My parents told me that once your fever hit forty degrees celsius, you must go to the hospital as it is very serious and may even cause brain damage. I don't even want to imagine what will happen when your fever hit 120 degrees celcius. Please don't make ridiculous comments like that. No offence k? I'm just going to what my parents told me coz' in reality, no one in the whole whole has ever hit 120 degrees celcius…I think. 120 degrees fahrenheit perhaps but definitely not in degrees celcius. P/S: NO OFFENCE!! I appreciate you taking your time off to tell me bout my mistake even though it is not really a mistake! =^_^=

The Lure of the Moon
By Fanny chan

The first of April

"Happy Birthday Sakura!!" Chiharu beamed with her boyfriend, Takashi Yamazaki. It had been three days since the epidemic had ended and it so happened that today was April the first, April fool's day.

There was quite a number of people in the spacious dorm room of Sakura and Chiharu. Most were classmates from her classes. However, besides them, Sakura had managed to persuade Syaoran to come as a thank you present for her looking after him.

Syaoran strayed near the windows looking very lost and gloomy. Sakura noticed this and squeezed past the small crowd to him. As she neared him, she heard her brother's voice from above the crowd.

"Hey Sakura!" Startled, she turned around and saw her ex-crush and big brother. She half-ran, half-skipped towards him, momentarily forgetting about Syaoran, and threw herself into the open arms of her brother.

Silence fell over the crowd as Chiharu quietened everyone down as she stood on the Sakura's bed a.k.a. the stage. "Make way for the birthday girl!" A path was cleared and Sakura walked as gracefully as she could to 'the stage', her brother and Yukito trailing behind her.

Touya and Yukito stood at the very front while Sakura steadied herself on the bed. "Hi everyone. I'd like to thank you for coming to my birthday celebration. Chiharu had kinda surprised me when she told me that there would be a birthday party for me yesterday. So I guess Chiharu and her boyfriend who is also my ex-boyfriend, Yamazaki Takashi, deserves the credit for this birthday party to be a success!"

Hoots of agreement sounded through the crowd until Chiharu blushed with embarrassment before once again quietened them. "Well, the surprise for today is that my brother and his friend has decided to pay me a visit. Totally unexpected huh?"

"I also have to thank a special friend for coming to my birthday party, well actually I had to persuade him by asking him to return a favor I did for him but it still means he came right?"

Syaoran shook his head. "Silly girl, you think I'd stay for the whole celebration?" he mummered as he slowly slipped out of the door unnoticed, well that is if he hadn't caught the sharp eyes of a certain birthday girl's brother.

"…And this friend who is dear to me, well besides Chiharu and Yamazaki and you guys, is Li Syaoran."

Everyone waited for someone to go up 'the stage' but there was no movement. Sakura grinned uncertainly as she scanned the crowd throughly. Suddenly, her brother tugged gently on her dress. "Is this Li guy the one you keep on telling me about?"

Sakura nodded slightly. "Well, if you are finding him, he just went out of that door." Sakura's eyes widened as she spoke. "Umm… gotta go somewhere. Be back in a while. Enjoy yourselves."

With that, she sped out of the door without a backward glance. Yukito cuddled with Touya in a way that is least conspicuous. "You really care for your sister don't you To-ya?"

Touya sighed as he glanced affectionately at his friend. "Of course. Besides, the way she has been telepathically telling me about that Li Syaoran, I can tell that she has fallen really hard for him. I just hope he doesn't break her fragile heart which I had been trying all my life to protect. Yukito smiled at Touya before giving him a darting peck on the cheek.

Two guys nearby caught that kiss.

"Did you see what I saw?" one asked the other.

"I know. They're just like us! Now I don't feel like we're odd." The two of them smiled at each other before resuming their conversation with their other friends.

*******************

Tomoyo's and Eriol's relationship had taken the next step. Well, that is what Eriol thought anyway. He had no idea what Tomoyo thinks…

In the dorm room, Tomoyo sat on her desk and read through a book before placing it aside and tiredly rested her head on the table as she reflected on her life.

She had regretted wanting to be part human. All she had thought about was to be able to bathe in the sunlight once again. Never had she expected that her human feelings would return as well. She opened a locked drawer where she kept her journel and a photo frame. Picking up the photo frame, she glanced at it and sighed.

"Eriol," she mummered as her fingers traced the beautiful crafted face of her ex-boyfriend in the photo. It was the last photograph they had taken together before that incident which made her a vampire. However, Eriol had broken up with Kaho, or so she heard, and he had taken good care of her when she was sick… could he still like or even love her?

Stupid human brain!! Giving me idiotic ideas like that. Just at that moment, her cellphone rang.

"Hello? Daidouji speaking," Tomoyo answered plesantly. She had no idea who could have call her. Nobody in her classes knew her number. The only exceptions were her closest friends like Rika, Naoko…

"Daidouji?" Oh yeah, and Eriol as well. "Yes?" Tomoyo asked emotionlessly. She was surprised he had called her when he could have came back and talk to her face to face.

"I love you…" was he reply.

*******************

"Syaoran? Syaoran?" Sakura looked around frantically, hoping to catch a flash of chestnut brown or the green shirt he wore. Lady luck was with her as she spotted him furthur up. Breaking into a run, she sprinted over towards him.

"Syaoran! How could you run away from my party like that?!" Sakura pouted as she placed herself in front of Syaoran. Syaoran was taken aback and stumbled one step back but Sakura caught him before he fell.

"I'm so sorry!" Sakura apologised.

Syaoran stabled himself before glancing steadily at Sakura. "I only said that I would go there. I didn't say I would stay there till the party ends." With that, he started strolling briskly away.

"But… but I thought you'd stay until my party ends…"

Syaoran halted to turn and he glanced at Sakura in an aloof manner. "Why would I want to stay when I did not even want to go in the first place?"

Sakura looked around nervously. "Because…because…" Sakura adverted her emerald eyes from Syaoran's intense gaze.

"Because…" slowly she managed to look at Syaoran, Syaoran's lips to be exact, and before Syaoran could registered what was going on, he found himself savouring Sakura's delicious and full lips.

*******************

Oh my! Oh my!! It's only been three and a half days and things have gone a little out of hand. I don't think Syaoran can hurt Sakura. Likewise with Tomoyo and Eriol. Thus what are they going to do? Thirteen and a half more days? Is there enough time to change their minds?
