~~One Week Later~~
Sakura was jumping around her room early in the morning in joy. Syaoran was suppose to come today! 'I can't wait! I can't wait!' Sakura thought.
Kero was still asleep, snoring contentively. Every once in a while Sakura could hear Kero sleep talking, saying things like, "Yummy....more food! Mwahaha..." or "Dancing cakes!" Whenever Sakura heard these things she shook her head, laughing slighty at Kero's sweetness.
School was starting soon so Sakura had to leave. Glancing at Kero one last time, Sakura ran downstairs. Yet again, her dad and brother were gone. Quickly fixing breakfast, Sakura ate and left the house.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The school bell rang. As fast as possible, Sakura arranged herself beside Tomoyo in class. Terada-sensei walked in swiftly. Upon taking roll, he stopped for a second to make an announcement.
"Students. This is an interesting year for incoming students. Today we are expecting two people from China. Please remember to treat them with the same curtesy that you showed Tai-san when he started this school about a week ago," Terada-sensei said.
The pupils of the class started to talk amoungst themselves as the teacher finished roll taking.
Tomoyo smiled at Sakura and said to her, "Ohohoho! I bet we all know who the incoming students are."
Sakura blushed crimson. Sowjing spoke up quietly ,sitting behind Sakura, saying, "Who are the students? How do you know them?" Over the past week Sowjing still hadn't opened up to his new group of friends. Usually, he tried to lurk amoung them, as un-noticed as possible. At quiet moments, Sowjing would ask weird out-of-blue questions though. Such as, "Do you guys believe in magic?" or "What do you think about magic being stored in objects?" Sowjing was hoping that Sakura and company would know something about the clowmistress and say something. Sakura and Tomoyo never noticed his strange questions because Takashi would suddenly start a story that people were so interested in that the nature of Sowjing's question went un-noticed. Sowjing was calm and mysterious.... a real puzzle to everyone.
Tomoyo smiled and said, "They're names are Li Syaoran and Li Meilin. Both of them went to school with us here in Tomoeda in fourth grade. They are really good friends of ours..."
Being cut off by the teacher Tomoyo was unable to say any more. The roll was taking and class begun. "Today we are learning about..." the teacher began.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Lunch began. Sakura sighed within herself because Syaoran and Meilin had not arrived. She kept a happy face though, figuring that she had waited a few years to see Syaoran, a few hours or minutes shouldn't make a difference. Seeing Sowjing though, made her feel pity. Obviously, he was new to having friends, and Sakura felt it was he duty to make him more spirited. This boy had gotten badly wounded somehow on the day she met him... and Sakura wanted Sowjing to know that he could trust her.
"So Sowjing! How do you like Tomoeda so far?" Sakura said striking up conversation.
The boy looked up. Currently, he was observing his food with a fork stabbing it to see if it was alive or even edible. Blushing, Sowjing said hesitantly, "I like it here. I've met some really nice people and it makes me feel more spirited..."
Sakura asked smiling, "And who would these 'really nice people' be?"
Takashi broke up the conversation saying, "Well.... obviously! It's me! My handsome face...."
Chiharu glared at him teasingly and said to the group, "He's just fooling himself! Takashi-kun.... you just keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better!"
Everyone started laughing good-naturedly. Takashi acted as if he was in shock. His happy mask was still on though, as it always was, as he replied, "That reminds me of a story. It was about a boy who was the most handsome in town. Actually, he looked a lot like me...."
The group started laughing at his hilarious story, and even Chiharu joined in. From behind them a few feet stood a teenage boy watching them.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran looked at Sakura's distant, but near figure from behind a tree a few feet away. She was laughing and teasing a boy sitting across from her. The boy was blushing, but Sakura didn't seem to notice.
The future of the Li Clan sighed. 'Why did I come here?' he thought. He had been thinking that over and over again in his mind on his plane to Tomoeda. Then, like every other time he asked himself this question the answer was, 'To see Sakura! To tell her... that I still love her..."
Seeing Sakura so blissfully happy though, he had some doubt. 'Maybe I should never have come...'
From the table he was staring at, he saw Sakura and everyone laugh at something that Takashi had said. Sakura was giggling. Sighing, Syaoran turned around. He was going to find somewhere else to eat. After walking a few feet, he was met by a glaring Meilin.
"And where do you think you're going?" Meilin said with her hands on her hips.
"I... I....I was going to find another place to sit," Syaoran answered truthfully.
"Why?! Sakura, Tomoyo, and the others are over there! We should say 'hi'. I'm sure that they'd be delighted to see us.." Meilin cut herself off because of Syaoran's troubled face. "What is it? Why the frown?"
Syaoran said quietly, "Maybe it was wrong of us to come back... I mean, they probably moved on with their lives..."
"You coward! Not being able to walk up to Sakura! Sheesh! Well, I'm going over there!" And with that, Meilin spun around and made her way towards the table that held her childhood friends.
Syaoran glared at Meilin's shadow. 'Coward,eh?' he thought to himself. 'I'll show her what a coward I am NOT!'
Syaoran worked up his courage and went to the table Meilin had just gone to. He walked slowly with ease... thinking that any second he could run and not be noticed. Distantly he heard Meilin being greeted by everyone.
"Meilin-chan! You're here!! Welcome back.... we missed you so much! Wow! You look so pretty! Umm... where is Syaoran-kun?" Sakura had said.
"Hi, Sakura-chan! Actually, Syaoran is right behind you...." Meilin said with a smirk.
Syaoran glared at Meilin. 'She knew the coward statement would get to me!' Meilin smiled innocently back. Coughing a bit Syaoran said, "Hello...."
For a second, Sakura was lost for words. All this time, she had been so delighted in Syaoran coming back that she didn't know what she wanted to say to him. She still remembered when Syaoran was last in Tomoeda and confessed his feelings of love to her. 'Does he still think of me that way?' she thought. Out loud, Sakura said, "Syaoran-kun!!! You're back!!! I can't believe it!" Her happiness was shown through the sparkling in her eyes.
Most of Syaoran's doubt left him... he felt comfortable in Sakura's presence. He showed a slight smile, only noticable to someone who could read his emotions, like Sakura. She grinned back. Syaoran and Meilin sat down at the end of the table, on the oppisite end of the table.
Sowjing noticed this welcoming between Sakura and Syaoran. The blue-eyed boy frowned to himself. He already liked Sakura very much, but how could he get close to her when she already had a guy that was obviously in love with her?
