"Sakura?" He croaked in disbelief.
*~*~*
She snapped her eyes open to reveal a set of startling emerald eyes, "Is that you…Syaoran!" She cried. She dropped the books in her arms as he pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Sakura." He whispered.
She smiled and hugged him back, "De-ja-vu all over again." She stood on her tiptoes just to whisper into his ear. He pulled back slightly only to lean in again and gently kissed her forehead. Sakura smiled and hugged him tighter than before.
After a while, they pulled apart but stayed in each other's arms, "What happened Sakura? Why did you stop writing to me." He suddenly caught a saddened look in her eyes, "Nevermind, you can tell me later." He said quickly, not wanting to upset her anymore.
"Thanks." She visibly brightened up.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, bending down to pick up her books for her. As he did, he noticed a small, blinking, red light, "Or should I say, what are all of you doing here." Bashfully, Tomoyo and Eriol stepped out of the bushes.
"Li-kun! It's so nice to see you again." Tomoyo smiled with a blush staining her cheeks.
"How is my cute little descendent?" Eriol asked with his sickly sweet smiled.
Syaoran growled, "Not now Eriol."
"Ok, ok, let's not start this early in the year." Sakura intervened. She took his backpack from him, shoved her books inside and swung it on her back. Syaoran bent over and hoisted her onto his back, like it was some old routine.
"Sakura, did you gain weight?" Syaoran teased, fully knowing she was a light as a feather.
"Mou! Syaoran, that's not very nice." She smacked his head as he was laughing.
Tomoyo was filming the whole thing with a dreamy face, "Oh! This is wonderful. The two people who are camera material are together, for me to record!" All three sweatdropped. As they continued walking, Syaoran and Sakura babbled about everything.
Eriol leaned over to Tomoyo, "I think this was the best place to come. Sakura seems so much more happy with Syaoran." He whispered.
She nodded in agreement, "I was worried for a while that she wouldn't want to come."
Shortly, they came to the park, which Syaoran left Meiling and Ziggy. Instantly, they ended up running into Meiling and Ziggy. The two saw them coming, which Meiling was ecstatic over while Ziggy was dumbfounded, "I don't believe it!!" She screamed and ran up to them, "Tomoyo? Eriol? Sakura?!?"
Syaoran set Sakura down and she braced herself just as Meiling tackled her in a hug, "Meiling!" She exclaimed.
"I'm so surprised to see you here!" She stated with a bright smile and studied the girl who stood in front of her, "My, my, my; haven't we grown, eh Syaoran?" She asked slyly. It was true, Sakura had filled out but was still thin and gorgeous. She would give any model a run for their money wearing tan caprice and a pink tank top with white tennis shoes.
"W-What do you mean?" He asked nervously, blushing brightly.
"And Tomoyo, you're so pretty," She paused, noticing her hand entwined with Eriol's, "What's this? I see the camera girl finally found her own life."
"Meiling, stop it." Tomoyo swatted her hands bashfully.
"You too Meiling, you have grown up too, I can feel it." Eriol added.
"Hey! What's going on??" A voice shouted. They saw Ziggy running up to them and waving his arms wildly.
When he reached them, he bent over and started breathing heavily, "What's up?" Syaoran asked.
Ziggy snapped his head up to see Syaoran's face with a smile and a curious look, "What the hell happened to you?" He asked, "You're all…happy."
Sakura saw Syaoran's struggled and intervened, "Hi! I'm Kinomoto Sakura." She stuck her hand out.
Ziggy stared at her and back at Syaoran, remembering the picture he had seen earlier, "You're the girl in the picture!"
Sakura turned to Syaoran, "You still have that old thing?"
He nodded, blushing and Ziggy laughed, "I knew he couldn't stay in his shell forever!" When he noticed the other two unrecognizable teens, he cleared his throat, "I'm Yagumi Ziggy, Syaoran's roommate."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Daidjoubou Tomoyo." She replied sweetly. She was dressed in a short, black skirt with matching high heels and a pale purple sweater. Her hair was clipped up behind her head and slung over her shoulder was the all too familiar camera bag.
"And I am Hawaginzara Eriol." The dark haired boy stated, wearing black pants and a gray polo shirt. His glasses were long gone, but his eyes still held their mysterious gleam.
Sakura looked at her watch and gasped, "Oh, look at the time! We need to go meet Mr. Kusakabe for our schedules."
Meiling and Ziggy frowned, "We'd love to come but our first class is real soon." Meiling stated unhappily.
"Don't worry, we'll see each other sooner, we've got lots of things to do." Tomoyo chuckled deviously as the two shared a diabolical glint before Meiling ran off.
"I'll be seein' you around. I must learn more on the people who make Syaoran so…emotional." He grinned before running after Meiling.
The original four were left standing in the park together, facing one another, "Who knew things would get this far?" Sakura asked to no one particular.
"We certainly have come a long way." Syaoran agreed.
They stood in silence for a few minutes before Tomoyo dared to break it, "Well, lets get moving. We still have lots to do before the day is done." In agreement, they walked into a large building, which read 'main office' on a sign above.
Once inside, Syaoran directed them to the sign-up room. They came to a stout woman in a swirling chair behind a desk, "Oh, hello Syaoran." She greeted the amber-eyed boy.
"Good morning Mrs. Rekki." He nodded.
"What can I do for you?" She asked.
Tomoyo stepped up, "We've just transferred here from Tomoda."
"Oh!" She exclaimed and pulled out a sack of papers, "Here are your class schedules, tryout times for various activities and teachers." She handed each of them a stack of papers and folders.
"And what about dorms?" Eriol asked gently.
"Yes, yes." She pulled out two folders, "Hmm, this might be difficult. There aren't many openings right now, but Miss Tomoyo, your roommate seems to be Li Meiling, Syaoran's cousin." Mrs. Rekki stated handing her a slip of paper, "Mr. Eriol, I have you as a roommate for Yagumi Ziggy, but since Syaoran here hasn't moved out yet. We have a temporary place." She handed him a piece of paper as well.
"What's this about?" Sakura asked.
"Well my mother wants me to move back home to start training. Once I'm done with college in two years, I'll be the clan leader and she wants me prepared." He explained, "So that means that I have to train and attend school."
"Oh, that must be difficult." Sakura stated thoughtfully.
Mrs. Rekki cut in, "Miss. Kinomoto?"
"Yes?" Sakura asked, turning her attention back to the elderly woman.
"There seems to be a problem. There are no other open rooms. Everything in the girls' dorm is full." She pointed out.
"Does this mean that I can't attend college here?" She asked sadly.
"Well, unless you find proper housing, I can't allow you to, I'm sorry." She gave the aburban haired girl a sympathetic look.
Syaoran thought for a moment before speaking up, "Sakura will stay at my house with me."
"What?!" Everyone shouted.
"Syaoran, I don't think it would be acceptable." Mrs. Rekki huffed.
"Why not? My mother and my sisters live there with me. If anything, I'd be at risk from too many females around." He snorted.
"Syaoran, I don't want to impose." Sakura said quietly.
"You aren't imposing, you're my best friend for gods' sakes!" He exclaimed.
"Welllll, I suppose it would be ok." Mrs. Rekki stated.
"Oh, thank you Syaoran!" Sakura squealed and hugged Syaoran with all her might.
He hugged back and turned to the attendant, "Cancel Eriol's temporary movements. I'll be leaving for home today."
Unknown to the others, Sakura's face fell and tears stung her eyes, she knew why there weren't any openings for her. Subconsciously, she hugged Syaoran tighter.
