Hello, my dear readers! I'm gonna take a while in update the chapter after this one, because I'm very busy. So, thanks for your support, and keep reviewing! Here's the next chapter!
A HIDDEN PLACE (chapter 4)
Sakura entered her bed. She stood there, sitted, thinking about a lot of things. Things were getting weird. She had gone through her dad's passing very well, but this... this was enough. It wasn't that traumatic, but... Syaoran, to find out that his mom had cheated on his dad... that was traumatic. She was worried about him.
Finally, Sakura fell asleep. But inside her, a lot of things were happening. She was dreaming about Syaoran, her world in that moment was turning around him.
THREE WEEKS LATER...
"HOEEEEE!! I'm so late" yelled when she saw the clock. In the kitchen, Tomoyo and Syaoran felt her screaming.
"Is she like that all the time?" asked Tomoyo.
"Yes, she's always late" answered Syaoran, checking if she was coming down. "Since I know her she is yelling 'Hoe' when she's late. And all the time, as well"
"Syaoran, are you sure you are ok?" asked Tomoyo after awhile.
"Yeah. I'm ok, I... It's unbelievable, but... You just have to accept it. But I still can't believe Sakura is not my cousin. By the way, why you are always asking me how I am?" he said. When he thought about Sakura, it didn't feel like a friendly love. He was attracted to her, but he still wanted to think about her like a friend. He wanted to protect her, since he was older. Lately he was trying to aboid the thoughts about her, he thought he was losing it.
"Good morning!" said Sakura, entering the kitchen.
"Good morning, Sakura!" said Tomoyo cheerfully. "Is your brother up?" asked.
"No, he's very lazy. Just let him sleep, he'll wake up when he wants to" said Sakura, going to where Syaoran was. He was eating his breakfast.
"How are you, Syaoran?" asked Sakura, hugging him by his shoulders. He was surprised, but pleased of having her so close.
"I'm ok. Are you ok?" he asked. She sitted down in front of him.
"Yes, I'm ok" she said. She ate her breakfast in a minute and then she run back upstairs.
"Syaoran, have you heard anything from Kathy?" asked Tomoyo, with the most innocent voice she could do.
"No" he said. Then he realized he had been more worried about his cousin... no, his friend, than about his fiancée. "I'll call her today"
"Right" said Tomoyo. Then she came up with an idea. "Sakura is gonna be late" she said, apparently talking to herself. She saw how he raised his head when she named her. 'This is gonna be so great. I know it's gonna work' she thought.
"I'm so gonna be so late!" they heard Sakura say. Syaoran stood up.
"See you later, Tomoyo" he said and then he went after the auburn haired girl. Tomoyo smiled at herself.
Eriol entered the kitchen.
"He's very worried about her" he said, sitting on a chair.
"Yes, very much. Everytime I name her, he raises his head and pays a lot of attenttion. He barely listens to me when I name Kathy" she said, taking Eriol his breakfast and sitting next to him.
"I hope this works" he said. "But it's not gonna be hard for him to fall in love with my sister. She's charming" he added.
"Syaoran is a great guy too. They already care about each other, all they have to do is to realize they are perfect for eachother" she said. They smiled at eachother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sakura, you are gonna be late" Syaoran said, opening the door of his car. "Where's your car?"
"Eriol is using it. Josh is giving me a ride lately when I need to go somewhere" said Sakura, closing the gate.
"I take you to college" he said. He didn't wanted that Josh to take care of her. That was his job.
"Really? Are you sure you aren't busy?" she said. She wanted to go with him, but if he was busy.
"No. If I was I wouldn't be offering to take you" he said, smiling. She smiled sweetly and then she said: "Ok, then. But hurry, I'm very late"
"At your orders, miss" he said with a hint of laugh in his voice.
Syaoran was driving very fast. Sakura was kinda scared, but then she relaxed and started to talk to him.
"So, how is Kathy? Have you spoken to her lately?" she asked. 'Stupid, why did you asked him that? He's gonna start to talk about how much he loves her, you are gonna be hurt' she reprended herself mentaly.
"No. I don't know if I wanna talk to her, anyways" he said. She got surprised.
"But, she's your fiancée. I mean, you love her, right?" she asked again. 'Stupid' she thought again.
"You know I can't lie to you, Sakura" he said. It was true, she always knew when he was lying. "And, lately, I've been regreting myself for proposing. I don't even know why I did it" he ended, shaking his head.
"I don't know, I think you are too young to get married. How old are you, 21?" she asked.
"22, to be exact. Three years older than you" he said. She nodded.
"But, what I get here, is that you don't wanna get married anymore, right?" she said. She wanted to know more, this was the man of her dreams. 'There it goes, I finally accepted it'. She had been developing feelings for him. They had an agreement that, if one of them couldn't sleep, then you could wake up the other, no matter the time. They did that every week and they spented hours in the balcony, talking.
"I'm confused, if you can say so. I'm very confused, I'm losing it and the worst of this is that Kathy is gonna get hurt" he said. "Now, answering to your question, yes, I think I don't wanna get married". 'Oh, what a relief' he thought.
"Well, if you don't love her anymore... I think it's ok"
"The worst of this, is that I don't think I ever loved her" he said. Sakura looked at him, with a face of "You are the most evil man on Earth by cheating on a girl in that way". "Don't judge me wrong, I guess it was one of those moments when you think you are in love, but the truth is that you have a sudden crush and you confuse it."
"Thank God, I was gonna punch you. You wouldn't like to be cheated like that" said Sakura, looking out the window. They were close from college.
"Yeah. But I don't know how to say it to Kathy. Tomoyo is gonna kill me. I mean, I'm young, I want to enjoy my life. I guess the best way to say this to Kathy is... how can I?" he asked, turning to right. They were there now.
"It can be like: 'I care about you, but I'm young and I wanna live my life'" she said. "Leave me here, it's ok"
"Fine. I think I'll ask some time. Do you think it's ok?" he asked. She was standing next to his window now.
"It's perfect. Do you want me to pick you up?" he asked.
"Yeah. We could go eat or something." said Sakura, smiling. He smiled back. "Thanks for the ride. Bye" she said, and she gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek through the window. She left andin the middle of her way Syaoran saw how Josh reached her and hugged her by her waist. He grinned his teeth.
"Something's very wrong with me. Sakura's like my little sister, this is... crap, this is not good" he said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tomoyo and Eriol were talking in the house.
"It's been three weeks since we told them, there should be some advance" said Tomoyo. "And the wedding is in two weeks. I just talked to Kathy and she said that everything's ready"
"Are you really that interested about Syaoran? I want him to be happy, but not to that extreme" said Eriol, grabbing Tomoyo by her arms and forcing her to sit down. She stood up again and kept her walk around the room.
"I want to show my sister she can't always get what she wants because she wants to. Do you know she was the one who told Syaoran to not write to Sakura? She knew Sakura was his cousin, but she's so possessive, she wanted Syaoran to be hers and no one elses" said Tomoyo. She looked furious. "I'm gonna make this work, I swear by my life"
"And I think it's not gonna be so hard" said Eriol. They were by casualty in Syaoran's room, and meanwhile Tomoyo was talking, Eriol was looking at the things Syaoran had there. He had opened his closet, and now he was looking to something under Syaoran's pillow.
"What?" asked Tomoyo, and went to where he was.
"Check this out" said Eriol and showed her what was under his pillow. Tomoyo opened her mouth and covered with her mouth.
"Oh, this is so kawaii!!" said Tomoyo, jumping around the room, so happy she was. "Syaoran wasn't keeping Kathy's pictures under his pillow back there" she said, coming back and taking the picture in her hands.
"I'm sure Sakura gave him this picture" he said. "He's a perv" he said, laughing.
The picture Sakura was holding showed Sakura that summer. She was on the beach, with a beautiful blue bikini. She was smiling. Behind the picture, there was a small note:
Your dear cousin Sakura Kinomoto.
You asked me to give you this, so here it is. So you won't forget about me again.
Tomoyo laughed again.
"Yes, she gave it to him. But he asked her for it" she said, showing the picture again.
"So, what does this mean?" asked Eriol. "From your point of view"
"I think" said Tomoyo "that Syaoran is kinda in love with your little sister"
