Chapter 7

Sakura almost tells a secret

"Hey what's wrong sakura?" he asked looking down at her with concern.

"Oh nothing im fine, duo." She said as she tried to walk away. He held her back.

"I might act like a fool but that doesn't mean that I am one and believe me I know when someone is lying to me. Why are you so sad?" he asked holding her shoulders. She looked over the other way. It was still pouring out but duo kept his umbrella on top of her.

"How about we go back to my place and talk it over with a nice cup of hot chocolate." He said. She nodded and followed him to his house.

"At least the rain is lighting up." He said.

"Oh jeez you're drenched. Ill get you some new clothes when we get there." He said smiling down at her. She looked back up and smiled back while turning a little red.

~~~~~~~~ At duo's house ~~~~~~~`

"Hey duo." Quatre said while watching the news.

"Hey quatre." He said while taking off his shoes. Sakura did the same.

"Well it seems we have company. Hello miss sakura! How are you?" quatre asked looking behind duo while sitting on the couch. She bowed politely.

"I'm fine thank you." She said looking down at the ground and blushing. A guy has never called her miss before so it was kinda weird.

"Here you an change into this." Duo said handing her a white T-shirt and blue swoosh pants.

"Thank you." She said quietly.

"I think that I will change in the bathroom." She said as she quietly walked in. Quatre looked at duo who was boiling water.

"Is something wrong with her? She seems sad." Quatre said with concern.

"Im not sure. I don't think that its anything too serious though." Duo said.

"That's why I invited her over." He said as he put in the cocoa mix in the three mugs and stirred it. He handed quatre a cup and sakura came out. The T-shirt was a few sizes too big because the sleeves went down to her elbows and the shirt almost went down to her knees. She shorts did go down to her knees and she had to hold them up. Quatre looked at her and slightly giggled.

"Do you want something to fit you better?" he asked.

"Oh no this is fine." She said with a smile. She walked outside to put her wet clothing on the railing and sensed heero looking at her. "Oh hi heero! What are you doing here?" she asked putting on a smile.

~~~~~~~ In the hallway ~~~~~~~~`

Heero walked out his door quietly, trying not to make a sound. He saw duo go into his apartment with some girl. She was looking down so he couldn't tell who it was. 'Is that sakura?' he asked himself. She looked up and walked in the door. 'Why does she seem so upset?' he asked himself. 'Wait why do I care! She is just another girl who I am going to the blossom festival with.' He told himself and started walking down the steps. He heard the door open again and saw her in a different outfit that was a few sizes too big. He slightly smiled because he thought she looked cute and then put his glare back on. All the sudden she looked over at him.

"Oh hi heero!" she said putting on a smile.

"Hi." He said. "Do you live on this floor too?" She asked.

"Oh yeah right here." He said while pointing to his home with his thumb.

"Oh that's cool. Well I should get going. I have hot chocolate to drink! Why don't you come in and have some? Im sure that duo wouldn't mind making an extra cup." She said happily.

"That's ok. I was just about to go for a walk. " He said.

"Oh ok ill see you later then!" she said as she walked into the doorway and waved.

"Bye." He quietly said.

"Were you just talking to HEERO?" duo asked in an amazed voice.

"Yeah why?" she asked. She wasn't as upset now because she talked to heero. Duo looked at quatre who was a little bit surprised himself and then he looked back at her.

"Oh no nothing! No reason. It's just that he never usually talks that's all!" he said.

"Oh." She said and sipped her cocoa. Heero heard a faint beeping sound coming from his room as he started going down the steps. He ran in his room and opened the vid message it was from doctor j.

"Good evening heero. I trust that you are doing well. The enemy is about 10 miles away so you better suit up fast. Good luck." He said as the message ended. Heero grabbed his pistol and went to get the other pilots. Wufei and trowa heard the message already and left. He opened duo's door.

"We have to leave. You guys get your suits. Ill take sakura home." He said as he grabbed her uniform off the railing.

"What's going on?" she asked. "We'll tell you when we get back." Duo said. The sound of explosions were faintly heard from the distance.

Heero grabbed sakura by the stomach and carried her down the steps faster than a normal human could go. He started his motor bicycle and jumped on. Sakura not knowing what to do went on also.

"Hold on tight." He said as he did a wheely and cut through the lawn.

"AHHH!!! YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO DRIVE! DO YOU HAVE A LISENCE?" she asked with her eyes shut tight and holding onto heero for dear life. He smirked and went even faster. Within no time they were at her house. Sakura opened her eyes and jumped off the bike.

"Ok I don't think that im ever going to ride a bike ever again." She said.

"Bye heero!" she said as he rode off. She walked in the door and saw an angry older brother infront of her.

"Monster where were you?" he asked putting his hands on his sides.

"It started raining so I went to a friends house until it stopped." She said as she started going up the steps.

"Not so fast monster." He said glaring at her.

"Wwhhhhattt!" she said. He inhaled deeply.

"WHO WERE YOU RIDING ON THAT BIKE WITH! I KNOW ITS NOT THE CHINESE GAKI AND SUPRISINGLY I WISH THAT IT WAS!" he said and started coughing.

"He was my friends, friend and he gave me a ride. He is really nice you should get to know him." She said as she ran up the steps.

"Go lay down you look horrible." She yelled as she ran in her room and plopped down on her bed face first. Kero came out of her droor.

"Hey sakura how was school." Kero said stretching his little stuffed animal body.

"Fine. We got a few new kids today." She said.

"Oh that's great. Hey did you bring any pudding?" he asked with his mouth watering.

"No sorry. We only had a half a day." She said looking at him. She remembered about what happened with syaoran and sighed.

"What's wrong kiddo?" he asked sitting next to her head on her pillow.

"Nothing Kero. How about I make some pudding. My treat." She said.

"Let me change my outfit first." She said as she took her clothes into the bathroom. She came back out with a yellow shirt with a pocket in the front and khaki shorts.

"Hop in Kero. You're going to help me make it." She said happily.

"Yeah! I get to lick the spoon!" he said as he put himself into the pocket, pretending to be a stuffed animal. She ran downstairs into the kitchen.

"Hey touya im making pudding. It will soothe your throat." She said taking out pots and that instant pudding stuff. She also took out lime gelatin mix as well.

"Ok monster." Touya yelled while he was watching the TV. She boiled the water and put in the mix and stirred it. When the pudding was done she gave the spoon to Kero. "Thanks sakura!" he said quietly as he licked the spoon. She put some in a bowl and took it to touya.

"Thanks squirt." He said as he ate a bite.

"My name is sakura!" she said as she stomped back into the kitchen.

"Ok monster! Whatever you say." He said again. She sighed in exasperation and put some of the pudding in a container.

"Come on Kero! Were making a stop at syaoran' s house!" she said as she opened the door.

"Ill be right back touya!" she yelled as she slammed the door.

"Ok monster don't make me come after you!" he yelled. All the sudden a news flash popped up.

"There is a war 4 miles away from the tomeda high school. The five gundams and some other strange machine are trying there best to ward off the enemy and they are doing a great job. Please take cover just in case of an emergency." Then all of the power had gone off.

"I have to get sakura." Touya said as he ran out the door. She wasn't there. 'What she just left a few seconds ago.' He said to himself and ran down the street.

"Hey what about my pudding?" Kero asked. "Oh be quiet we have plenty more at home. I don't understand how your little tummy can sustain all of that junk." She said while flying with her wand. They could hear gunshot's coming from the distance.

"What do you think that is?" she asked.

"I don't know. Its not a clow card." Kero said. They were next to syaoran's house now. Sakura went up the steps still concerned about what was happening in the distance. She knocked on the door and no one was home.

"Where do you think he is?" sakura asked Kero.

"I dunno but ill have the pudding!" Kero said. Sakura walked in. The place was a little bit messy and it seemed that he was in a big hurry. "Ok well ill just write him a note." She said as she wrote down a few words, which said:

Dear syaoran,

I am very sorry about what happened today. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or anything. I have made you some extra chocolatety chocolate pudding for you since I know that you like it. Call me when you get home ok? I hope to see you at the cherry blossom festival! Everyone will be there!

Sincerely,

Sakura

She then ended the message and put it neatly on top of the container. She sighed sadly and walked out of the room and closed the door. The gunshots were not there anymore.

"That was strange. Don't you think Kero?" she asked.

"Yeah it was. Oh well it's over can we go home now and eat some pudding?" he asked.

"Ok Kero we'll go back and eat some pudding." She said as she went down the steps.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo yelled running up to her.

"What are you doing out here? Touya just called to see if you were at me house but you weren't! Didn't you here the news? There was a war over there!" she said pointing over there.

"Then where was…" she asked herself. Syaoran should have been in his house and she grew suspicious.

"Electricity is out all over town!" she said.

"Really? That's great." She said being sarcastic.

"Ill just use my clow cards later." Sakura said.

"SAKURA!" touya yelled running up to his sister.

"Ive been looking all over the place! Were you over the Chinese gaki's house?" he asked. He wouldn't really care if she was because then he knew she would be safe. (an: awwwwww how sweet!!)

"Oh no I was just delivering something that's all." She said. Touya sighed in relief.

"Ok lets get back home." He said.

"Ok. See you tomorrow tomoyo!" sakura said and started walking off.

"K bye sakura bye touya!' tomoyo yelled as she started running towards her house.

Syaroan who was hiding behind a grove of tree's overheard sakura say something about delivering something to his house. When the cost was clear he ran to his house and opened the door. He saw a neatly written note on a package on his table. He read the note and smiled.

"How could I be so jealous. She is just going to the cherry blossom festival with that heero guy. Its no big deal." He said to himself and opened the package to find warm chocolate pudding. He licked his lip and took out a spoon and began to eat the chocolate desert.
