Chapter 3 – Our First MeetingTime quickly passed that day for them all and they found themselves sitting down eating supper already. They chatted at bit until they realized that it was very late and they all decided that it was time to go to bed.
"Supper was good tonight, Wei," Sakura said as she walked passed him.
"Thank you miss. Goodnight to you all," Wei said as he ushered them all out and cleaned up the room.
"I shall see you all tomorrow then. Goodnight," Meilin said as she gave hugs and kisses to everyone.
"Goodnight you all. Syaoran, I expect to see you early in the morning training with Eriol," Yelan said in a stern tone as they bowed to her.
"Well, shall we?" Eriol asked as he and Syaoran walked in front of them to lead them to their rooms.
"Go…goodni…goodnight, Tomoyo," Eriol said as he gave her a quick kiss and almost ran to his room, blushing.
"Goodnight," Tomoyo whispered as she was in a daze, but walked into her room and closed the door silently.
"Um…Goodnight Syaoran," Sakura said as she was hoping he would tell her 'Goodnight' as well or at least something polite.
"…Whatever," Syaoran said as he walked to his room and slammed the door.
'Why does he have to so cruel!' Sakura thought as she felt her eyes get watery and quickly opened the door to get inside.
Sakura walked over to her dresser and took deep breaths to try to calm her down, but she still felt her eyes getting watery. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw how tired she was by the bags under her eyes.
'Tomoyo, you woke me up to early from my nap!' Sakura thought as she wiped away her tears and got ready for bed.
'Why can't I go to sleep?' Sakura thought as she climbed out of bed and walked towards the kitchen.
She wasn't watching where she was going and so she tripped over a rug that was upturned and she closed her eyes, waiting for the impact, but instead felt arms circle around her.
"…Are you alright?" said a voice that she already knew to well.
"Yes, I'm alright. Just tripped over a rug. Sorry for bothering you, Syaoran," Sakura said as she pushed herself off of him and gained her own balance.
"Watch where you're going next time," Syaoran said as he walked around her and back up to his room.
"I'm sorry," Sakura said as she heard a door slam yet again.
'Why do I feel that I'm just making things worse every time I try to be nice to him,' Sakura thought as she continued her walk to the kitchen for a midnight snack.
When Sakura woke up, she heard steal against steal coming from outside her window. She looked at her clock and it said 6:00 in the morning.
'Who could be up this early doing whatever it is that they are doing?' Sakura thought as she got up and walked over to the window.
Sakura looked around her, but saw nothing but darkness. She still heard the clangs of steal against one another, but couldn't figure out where from. Finally, she looked a little bit below her; saw a clearing that was being used by two men.
'What on earth are they doing waking up so early?' Sakura thought as she pulled a chair over to the window and looked at them, training.
"Is it just me or do you get the feeling that we are being watched?" Syaoran asked as he blocked one of Eriol's attacks.
"Maybe it's your Ying Fa?" Eriol asked, blocking a hard blow from his cousin.
"Eriol, you're daydreaming about something that won't come true this time," Syaoran said as he swung out at him, but was blocked again.
"You know, you two do make a cute couple," Eriol said as he pulled away from him and circled him.
"Like that really matters," Syaoran said as he did the same thing.
"You never know. Your mother seems to like her a lot, but I think she is planning to do something though," Eriol said as he stopped his circling and thought.
"…"
"You do know that she is still watching us, right?" Eriol asked as he was barely able to block the attack that Syaoran launched out at him.
"Hoe!" Sakura said as she realized that they were starring at her from below.
She quickly got up from her chair, placed it back where it belonged, and went back to sleep, hoping that they were just imagining her. Sleep quickly over came her as she dreamed about the amber-eyed man with unruly chocolate brown hair.
When Tomoyo woke up, it was around 8:15, so she decided to go down to kitchen to have some breakfast before she went to go wake up Sakura. As she was just about to walk into the living room, she saw Eriol and Syaoran sitting there discussing something. They immediately stopped when she came into the room and looked up at her.
"Um…Good morning, Eriol, Syaoran," Tomoyo said as she looked back at them.
"Good morning, Tomoyo. Have you had breakfast yet?" Eriol asked as he stood up from where he was sitting.
"…No, I was just on my way over there to get something," Tomoyo said as she started to make her way towards the kitchen again.
"I'll accompany you then, Tomoyo. Isn't Sakura up yet?" Eriol asked, getting up to walk with her.
"She's still asleep probably. She gets up pretty late, Eriol," Tomoyo said as she smiled at him.
"Hmm, Syaoran, why don't you go wake her up so she doesn't miss any breakfast?" Eriol asked, looking back at his cousin.
"…"
"That's a great idea! Please Syaoran, will you go wake her up for me?" Tomoyo asked, looking at him as well.
Syaoran just starred at the couple and was actually contemplating on what he should do. He looked back to the floor as if to find an answer, but found none that he was hoping to say.
"Fine," Syaoran said as he got up and walked to where their rooms were.
"Tomoyo, I'm forming a plan in my head and I think that it just might work," Eriol said as he looked into her eyes.
Tomoyo was about to say something as well, but stopped when she looked up at his eyes. She thought that she saw him drawing closer to her, but she dismissed it as he stopped and pulled away.
"…We shou…should get goi…going," Eriol said as he blushed and turned away.
"…Al…all right," Tomoyo said as she had just realized what he was about to do.
'Maybe I should tell Sakura about this? She might just be able to help me,' Tomoyo thought as she accepted Eriol's arm and headed towards the kitchen.
On his way over towards Sakura's room, Syaoran was becoming a nervous a wreck. He didn't know what to say or what to do when he got there.
'Just knock on her door and if she doesn't answer, then she is still asleep. I guess I can just walk in there and wake her,' Syaoran thought as he reached her door.
He knocked on it and waited for a minute or two until he decided to go right ahead and open it up just a bit. He opened the door wider when he heard nothing and looked towards the bed, seeing her sleeping form.
Syaoran just stood there; starring at her for a few minutes until he remembered what he had came up here to do. He walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder to wake her, but stopped when she turned around, her sleeping face facing him.
'She looks like an angel when she is sleeping…what am I thinking?! I'm going to be the leader of this clan soon, I can't be thinking of things like this!' Syaoran thought as he pulled his hand away and started to walk towards the door.
"Is that you, Syaoran?" said a voice from behind him, which made him turn around and look at her.
When Syaoran turned around, he saw that she was standing up and walking towards him. His first instinct was to just turn around and walk away, but something held him back and told him to stay put.
"Good morning, Syaoran. What are you doing here in my room?" Sakura asked as she smiled up at him.
"…"
Sakura just stood there, hoping to get an answer from him, but when he didn't say anything, she started to turn around and get ready for the day.
"…Tomoyo had asked me to come up here to get you so you can make it in time breakfast," Syaoran said as he saw her slowly turn around to face him.
Sakura just starred at him, stunned that he had actually talked to her. She smiled sweetly at him and walked towards him again.
"Thank you for doing that, Syaoran," Sakura said.
Syaoran just stood there looking at her and then looked into her eyes and saw himself drowning in her emerald green eyes. When he noticed that Sakura was starring at him with a worried look, he turned away before he saw her blushing like mad.
"…I'll go…tell Tomo…Tomoyo that you're up," Syaoran said as he walked briskly out of her room.
When he closed the door, he leaned against it trying to figure out what was going on with him. He's never acted to strangely before and he is beginning to think that it has something to do with that emerald green-eyed girl with auburn hair.
Well, that's it for now! Please tell me what you guys think of this story? Is it going slower than the other one? I'll accept any reviews! Thanks! -Bluepiper
