Chapter Three- Self Doubt

"Is this dress ok?" asked Sakura. She had worn a green tank top with flowers on the each side and a green skirt on the bottom.

"You look like a tree!" Syaoran said trying to smother his laughter.

Sakura stuck out her tongue at Syaoran and left the room with Tomoyo to pick another dress.

As Sakura left the room Syaoran's amber eyes suddenly changed into a burning red color; indicating hate for that Yugi kid.

"Brat, leave her alone. Just because you like her doesn't mean she can't go out with anybody." Kero said, defending Sakura, as he finished eating his pudding. "But isn't it cute?" Kero mused, "You are jealous that Sakura asked Yugi instead of you to a movie aren't you?" He said with an accusing voice.

Syaoran's face started to heat up. He turned his face away, trying to hide his face from the stuffed animal. After he recovered, he finally turned to the little thing and said in a cold tone, "You're just a stuffed animal, why do I care about what you think?" Quickly, he punched his fist toward Kero, who was sitting on the coffee table pigging out, but Kero was faster than he thought.

In a flash Kero disappeared making Syaoran miss his target and hit the coffee table instead. The coffee table broke in an instant. Kero eyed the mess Syaoran made. His tiny eyebrows furrowed in anger and annoyance. He was like that for a while, and then he finally spoke.

"Brat, you could have killed me!!!! You're going to pay for that!!!!" Kero shouted in rage. He then attacked Syaoran's finger.

          Syaoran screamed out in pain. He used all his force to throw Kero off his finger and toward to the wall. Kero's small back hit the wall with an enormous noise, his anger rose as pain filled him. His eyes narrowed more as he forced himself off the wall and turn into the lion-like beast Kerberos. Kerberos gave an angry growl and charged at Syaoran.

"STOP IT!!!!!" A familiar voice was heard, stopping Kerberos in his tracks. The voice belonged to Sakura and by the look on her face she was not happy.

          Even though there are not much Kero and Syaoran have in common, there are still some stuff they have in common, and the fear of an angry Sakura was one of them.

"Whoa, Yug what is that ridiculous thing you're wearing?" Joey asked.

Yugi was wearing a long sleeved white shirt with a tie around the collars, a black suit covered the white shirt and a black pant with black shoes completed his style. His hair was gelled back in place, giving them a slight shine under the light. He looked exactly like a young businessman.

"It's my dating suit." Yugi said calmly, ignoring Joey's laughter at his ridiculous look.

"Yugi, I think you are taking this date too seriously." Tristan announced. Kaiba saw Yugi and quickly fell to the floor laughing hard at the sight. He started rolling and clutching his stomach, trying to control his laughter.

Yugi, however, was not amused. He stomped out of the apartment; he couldn't stand his so-called friends anymore.

~~~

A leaf fell out of a tree and slowly came down, smacking Yugi in the face. Why did it have to rain? Thought Yugi as he headed towards a tree trunk, BAM!!!!!

"Ouch; not again."

Yugi reached the movie theatre only to find Sakura already there; bumping into that tree must've made him late. Poor Sakura, she had to wait in the rain and get wet all because of me, he thought.

Yugi stared at the wet girl. He noticed that even the rain couldn't ruin her beauty, in fact, it made her more beautiful. She was wearing a wet sky blue dress, which made her emerald green eyes sparkle with laughter.

Yugi could feel his childish self stir at her laughing eyes, and before he could control himself, he put on a serious face, bowed down, and said in a deep gentleman voice, "M-lady. Sorry I'm late. I ran into a tree."

Sakura laughed. "Yugi, I think the trees really have something for you. And you look like you're about to go to a fancy dinner."

"Is that a good thing?"

"Ummm…come on lets go in."

Inside the movie theatre they both were greeted with questioning stares. Seeing a young man dressed up to go to the movies wasn't normal. Sakura was glad when the place got dark and the movie started playing. Being stared at wasn't exactly pleasant.

They haven't even sat there for five minutes before Sakura sensed the presence of a powerful Clow Card nearby. She sprinted from her seat and ran out of the theatre with a puzzled and worried Yugi behind her.

          Sakura stood outside in the rain with her eyes closed trying to find the Clow Card. There, at the right! She charged toward the invisible force, only to hit nothing as she passed through. However when she looked down, she was wearing a clown costume with yellow boots. What kind of card is this? She thought to herself.

Suddenly the rain stopped pouring. Instead of rain, everywhere around her started to spin and rocks charged at her. I'd rather have rain, she thought as she tried to dodge as much of the rocks as she could but wasn't able to escape some. The rocks that she couldn't dodge hit her in various places on her body, she soon found herself covered with cuts and blood.

Out of all the commotion and the pain, somehow she was able to hear Yugi's voice. She looked toward the sound, and saw him running toward her, no! She thought. She shook her head violently, hoping that he'd see and stop, but he didn't see her. She opened her mouth to scream out warnings to him, but nothing came out. She watched Yugi continue running toward her, saw him get closer and closer. She watched helplessly as a forceful wind caused by the card threw him back. And she saw him get knocked unconscious. Emotions flew at her, anger, pain, worry, helpless, and hurt. She closed her eyes and tried to sense the Clow Card again.

"GET OFF MY FINGER YOU STUFFED ANIMAL!" said Syaoran said.

"I'm not a stuff animal; I am Kerberos the guardian of the seal!" said Kero.

"Eat some pudding!" said Syaoran, as he threw a bowl of pudding at Kero's face.

"MY HOUSE, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY HOUSE!" exclaimed Tomoyo.

"He did it," said Kero and Syaoran at the same time. //GLARE//

A powerful surge struck him; he realized quickly that it has something to do with Sakura. "Sakura's in trouble!" He announced as he ran off to the movie theater that Sakura and Yugi were at.

"He's right, I sense a very powerful Clow Card nearby," said Kero, as he was about to leave.

"WAIT FOR ME! I need to get my camera," yelled Tomoyo, "And I would get you both for doing this to my house!" She ran after Syaoran and Kero.

~~~

Yugi woke up with a head-spinning headache. He remembered that he had been following Sakura out of the movie theatre, only to see her in the middle of some sort of tornado. He remembered seeing her get hurt and running towards her, only to be knocked unconscious by a powerful wind.

He looked around searching for Sakura. She was still in the middle of the tornado, but this time, Syaoran was there. He was sending out thunder attacks with a sword at the tornado. Somehow his attacks saved Sakura and together they were able to make the tornado disappear.

Pain ran through him as he watched Sakura and Syaoran battle together as experts. I wasn't able to save her. Without Syaoran, she almost died. I'm such a failure. I don't deserve Sakura; I will never be able to protect her. Syaoran deserves her more. With his head down, he walked toward his apartment.

~~~

The unknown force escaped, Sakura couldn't seal it. Sakura fell on her knees; she was too tired to remain standing. She sat there on the floor, trying to catch her breath.

Everything was so blurry and she couldn't really remember what happened. She breathed and thought. About 15 minutes later everything was clear again, the first thing that came to mind was Yugi. She looked around for him, but he was nowhere to be found.

Sadness came over her. He ran away, he ran away because he thinks I'm weird. He probably wouldn't want to talk to me after this. She felt her eyes fill up with water. She saw Syaoran walking toward her with concern. No! I'm not going to be weak around Syaoran; I'm not going to be comforted by him! That will only make him think I'm useless even more. With that, she ran off; running away from Syaoran, away from the movie theatre… far away from this nightmare.

~~~

"Yugi are you okay?" Tea asked as she saw the upset Yugi come in through the door. His suit is mostly ripped and part of his hair stuck up, disobeying the commanding gel he had put on his head earlier.

"I'm okay." Yugi said. He gave her a soft, cheerful smile to prove his point. But Tea could see the sadness in his eyes, despite his efforts. Tea watched Yugi walk to his room slowly and calmly. Yugi, why are you trying to hide you're feelings from me? Tea thought with a sigh.
