-----------------------CHAPTER SIX: Great News for the Two of Us------------ -----
Sakura stared after the car as it drove away, disappearing into the darkness. Eriol had just dropped her off after their date. She didn't know why, but she felt so weird after he told her about himself. She felt as if she didn't know him, but then again, did she know him that well to start with? They only knew of each other's existence a couple days ago. 'Maybe we just need to work more on their relationship, if you can call it that'. "I don't think I'm ready for this kind of thing," Sakura groaned to herself as she started to head back into the apartment.
"Oh! Sakura, you came back! I knew I heard someone." Tomoyo greeted her friend at the door. "Did you have fun?"
Sakura placed a smile on her face. "Yes I did. I couldn't have met a better man!" she giggled, only to realize to herself that she was half faking it. But Tomoyo never noticed a thing. Sakura then finally really looked at her friend for the first time that night. A couple hours ago, she had been too busy to notice anything, since she was jumping around in glee. She squinted her eyes directly at Tomoyo's face.
Tomoyo stepped back. "W-what? Is there something wrong with my face?"
Sakura gulped. "Tomoyo, have you been crying?" she asked nervously. No, her friend couldn't have been crying! She had never seen her cry before!
Tomoyo paused. She then started laughing. "Of course not! I was chopping onions for the soup! Those stuff really work the eyes out."
Sakura ran to the kitchen to see if her friend was lying or not. If Tomoyo was crying, then something drastically was wrong! Tomoyo's never shed a tear... not in front of Sakura anyways. 'What are you panicking about! She's only human. She has the right to weep.' But what she found was a pot of soup ready to be served.
Tomoyo came into the kitchen. "Sakura, don't worry. There's nothing for me to cry over."
------------------------------------------------
"Good morning Syaoran. How are you feeling?" Sakura immediately asked as she stepped into the room of her favorite patient---no, her only patient. She quietly shut the door behind her, to not disturb others, and carried the morning tray of food onto the table. She went over to the windows and parted the shades. She then, realized that he didn't reply back.
"Don't feel much like talking today, Syaoran?" she teased. He had been angry with her since yesterday-after he met Eriol. 'If he didn't hate me so much, I think its jealousy that I sense' she thought, but then told herself that it was nonsense. Syaoran Li wasn't a man who'd envy others. No, Syaoran Li was just a cold-hearted guy, but Sakura could see something different deeper inside of him. What that was, she had no clue. What she knew was that he only talked tough to avoid whatever he was running away from, but inside of him, who knew what the hell he was thinking.
"So," Syaoran began to say. "Did you have fun last night?" Sakura was shock that he even started a conversation after totally ignoring her.
"Last night? You mean with Eriol?"
Syaoran snorted in disgust. "You mean there were other men involved?
Sakura flushed. "No! Don't get so perverted! And to answer your question, I did! I had fun on my date with Eriol, not that you would care."
He smirked. "I really don't."
Sakura sighed. It didn't matter. Whatever made him happy-sure she'll go along with that. After feeding time, she had just remembered something. "Oh, Syaoran you'll be so happy to hear this news!"
"What?"
Sakura had just been told this morning about it also and she just knew that her 'dear' patient would just love to hear it. "A couple weeks ago, I asked for a vacation off and guess what? I got it!"
Syaoran gulped.
Sakura laughed. "See? With me gone for a week, you don't have to worry about my annoying talks and such! You can finally relax without some stupid girl to nag at you! Of course, I don't know who'll cover up for me, but they'll figure it out."
He was quiet for a moment, before he spoke up. "I'm happy for you," he replied without giving any hint of emotion, and he couldn't say anything more.
Sakura didn't get it. Wasn't he suppose to be happy for himself and say stuff like 'oh yeah! That's what I'm talking about!' or 'I've been waiting so long for this moment!' She didn't expect him to well, react the way he did. "Well then, smile," she said. "Smile for me." And he did. A weak one, but surely, it was a smile to satisfy her.
'A week without Sakura... there'll be long nights.' The thought shattered him.
