Chapter 8:

Sakura rang the door bell and waited. A few minutes later the door swung open and Rika stood in her night gown. "Sakura? Hey are you alright?" "Um, yeah I'm okay, I just didn't want to go home to an empty house again." "Alright, come in." Rika saw Sayoran leave when she moved to shut the door. "You have a uniform for tomorrow?" Sakura thought a sec then remembered the one she'd folded neatly into her back pack. "Yes." Come on then let's find you a night gown." Rika noticed that Sakura's jacket was open and was obviously Sayoran's. "Sakura what are you wearing?" "I got a job at a club I'm a performer." "Doing what?" Rika's eyes near popped out of her head thinking Sakura meant she was a stripper. "I work as the lead flame dancer for FLAME SOUL. I can't wear long sleeved or baggy clothes or they'll catch fire." "Oh I see. Come on we should get to bed we still have classes tomorrow."

In the morning Sakura was running around Rika's spare room trying to get ready for school. "I'm running late, I'll have to skip breakfast." Sakura adjusted her skirt. She hadn't got all the black die out of her hair when she'd showered the night before or when she'd got up, so it was still streaked black. Sakura packed her skimpy outfit and her chaps into the bottom of her pack. She heard a cell phone ringing as she slipped Sayoran's jacket on. "Hmm?" She recalled turning her phone off and putting it in her pack. Sakura reached into the jacket pocket and withdrew a small black cell phone. "What the hell.?" she muttered and checked the number. "176 Hill Side Crescent? Who is this?" Sakura decided to answer the phone. "Hello?" "Hello, I'm looking for Li?" it was a fairly deep voiced guy. "Have I got the right number?" "Oh, uh, just a second." Sakura went out into the hall way, and covered the phone "Rika do you have a pen and paper handy?" "Yeah sure on the front hall table." Sakura went to the table and copied the address down, she uncovered the phone. "Yes, hello, you have the right number, but he isn't available at the moment, who did you say was calling?" "Li, Kiyo. Who are you since you're not Li?" " Pardon me sir, that's none of you business. Is there anything you'd like me to tell Li?" Sakura said trying to be pleasant. "Yeah, tell him Kiyo is in town." Then he hung up on her. Sakura copied the name and message down so she could tell Sayoran later. "Okay I'm going Rika, I'll call and check on you later." Sakura called to her friend who was currently sick with the flu. Sakura dashed out the door and down the street to her school.

~Meanwhile~

Sayoran was tearing his room apart looking for his phone. "WHERETHEHELLDIDIPUTIT!?" he yelled squishing his words together. The clatter he was making brought, Eriol clad only in his jeans to the door, his long blue hair rather ruffled and hanging loose. "Sayoran what the bloody hell are you doing? And pipe down before you wake Tomoyo." "I can't find my cell phone. I think it's in my coat pocket." "So check you coat pocket." "I can't, I gave Sakura my jacket last night so she wouldn't freeze, in case you don't remember, she was wearing a little less then we were." "So, just go to her school and get it this morning. And for heavens sake let the rest of us get some sleep, we didn't all get to sleep when we walked in the door." "Yeah well those of us with sense in our heads were smart enough to sleep and not be rocking the bed." Sayoran grabbed his keys off the bedside table and walked past Eriol out the door.

~Sakura's School~

Sakura arrived at school to have half of the student body stare at her in amazement. It was when Chiharu came racing down the hall to her locker that Sakura found out what the excitement was about. "So Sakura is it true? Were you really out at a club last night? Were you really Dancing on stage with those girls from yesterday?" "Slow down Chi, where did you hear that?" "Konna, said she and her boyfriend saw you. Dressed all in black wearing next to nothing." "Are you sure you've got the right girl? I mean you know me, I like my clothes so they fit proper and I make sure I'm wearing lots of fabric." "I said the same thing, it couldn't be you. You'd never dress like that." Sakura checked her pack making sure that the skirt from the night before was well hidden. She was wearing the top under her shirt for lack of a bra this morning. Sakura put Sayoran's jacket in her pack and pulled her school blazer on, buttoning the front. She knew if she didn't wear the blazer today the rumors would be proved true, because where the strings of the leather top under her shirt tied, could be seen through the back of her white shirt. "Come on we have classes." Chiharu said. "No I have my free this morning, I'm just gonna study outside." "Okay, I'll see you at lunch then." Sakura headed outside to her favorite tree. The early morning sun was shining through the leaves. Sakura sat at the picnic table set under the tree, and got her books out to study for a math test she had later that day.

Sakura was thoroughly tired, she hadn't got much sleep the night before and just wasn't concentrating, and she didn't even notice when someone walked up behind her. When they touched her shoulder she jumped up out of her seat, spinning to face them. "Hey you alright Sakura?" it was Sayoran. Sakura fell into his open arms. "yeah I'm just tired, this morning, I'll be fine by the time my first class rolls around." "You sure?" "Uh huh, hey what are you doing here anyway I thought you were coming after school." Sayoran hugged her tight and kissed her forehead. "Aren't you happy to see me?" "Of course I am." "To be honest I was wondering if you by any chance had my cell phone." "Oh yeah, she stepped out of his embrace and got his jacket out. "Here it's in your pocket, by the way some guy named Kiyo called this morning and told me to tell you he's in town. I wrote down the address he called from it's in your packet as well." "Thanks. Hey didn't classes already start Sakura?" "Yeah but I have a free class right now." " Oh I see, what are you studying for?" he asked peeking over her shoulder, which wasn't hard since her was a good foot taller then she was. "Math, I have a test today." "Want some help?" he asked wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. Sure I can always use the help In math."

A short while later Sakura kissed Sayoran good bye and headed into write her math test. She walked through the halls and a lot of students stopped doing what they were doing to stare at her. She stopped walking and turned to look at the one group. "Might I ask what everyone is looking at? You see me everyday." She asked as polite as she could, she was starting to lose her patients with a lot of people and wasn't sure why. "Kinomoto, people are talking." "So people talk all the time." "But some of the things they've started to say about you, doesn't it bother you?" "Not really, I just don't really listen to it." "Sakura they're saying that your perfect reputation has been stained. That you're dating an older guy from outside of school and doing things you'd never dared do before." "You mean Konna's spreading that stupid rumor about me at a club last night." "Yeah." "Well so what, I do date an older guy from outside of school, and you guys never really knew me anyway so how do you know what I will and won't do. I mean that rumor Konna started wasn't true." Sakura started to turn her back on them to walk to her class for her test which started in 10 minutes. "Kinomoto, You were all dressed in black, with your hair died Ebony, you denie it, but your hair is streaked black." That voice belonged to Shihara Konna. " Yes my friend designs clothes I helped her do a photo shoot for her portfolio, yesterday." Sakura said walking away. It was true just without the part about dancing at the club.

Lea- that's it let me know what you think. Peace out Ja
