"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan! Wake up!" Ying-fa chirped. Sakura sleepily put a pillow over head to block the noise. "SAKURA-CHAN!!!!" Ying-fa yelled. "Huh? What the..." Sakura said sleepily openning her eyes. "Get dressed quickly. Onii-chan is taking me to my first day of the new school. Hurry up because we're already late!" Ying-fa said in a panicy tone. Sakura jumped up and quickly dashed over to her closet. She got out her outfit consisting of black bellbottoms and a long sleeve baby blue shirt and did all of her morning business before that.
Sakura was done in five minutes and she rushed into the living room. As she was running, she literally bumped in to Syaoran. "Whoa, slow down," Syaoran said. "Oops, sorry," Sakura apologized. "Why are you in such a hurry?" Syaoran asked her. She told him that she didn't want to cause Ying-fa to be late to school. "But school isn't for another forty five minutes and I'm going to be the one dropping her off. "HOE??? Ying-fa told me we were late!" Sakura said exasperated. Syaoran chuckled and continued walking upstairs. "Next time you should look at your clock," Syaoran teased. "YING- FA!!" Sakura yelled.
"What? What?" Ying-fa said rushing by her side. "Why did you tell me that we were late and make me rush?" Sakura asked. "Umm... hee hee, it was fun seeing you do that. Can you teach me some time?" Ying-fa asked smiling. "Oh, well let's forget about that. At least it gives me time for breakfast," Sakura said leading Ying-fa into the kitchen.
Sakura made some pancakes for her and Ying-fa unaware of Syaoran standing behind her. "LI-KUN, DO YOU WANT ANY PANCAKES?!!!" Sakura yelled thinking that Syaoran was still upstairs. "Ah, you don't have to make me deaf you know. I'm right here, Miss Kinimoto," Syaoran said holding his ears. Sakura blushed in embarrassment and turned back around. Ying-fa on the other hand was throwning a fit of giggles.
"Gomen nasai, I didn't know you were behind me," Sakura nervously said. "You're forgiven, next time you should check who's behind you," Syaoran said still holding his ears. "That was almost as funny as Arthur!!" Ying-fa said reffering to Arthur the ardvark on PBS. "Wait.. that was even funnier than Arthur!" Ying-fa still said giggling.
"Hurry up and finish your breakfast, you don't want to be late, do you?" Sakura said putting a plate of pancakes in front of Ying-fa. Everyone finished and were off to Willow Private School.
~~Willow Private School~~
Syaoran and Sakura walked with Ying-fa to her new classroom where there were many children of different races. "Ah, welcome. Who might you be?" a friendly woman asked. Before Syaoran could say anything, Ying-fa chirped up. "I'm Ying-fa Li," Ying-fa said in a cheery voice. The lady smiled and patted her on the head. "I'm Ms. Lilly, your new teacher. Welcome!" she said taking her hand. Ying-fa followed her to a group of little girls playing in a play kitchen.
After a few minutes of watching, Syaoran and Sakura saw that Ying-fa was getting along perfectly well. "Now that Ying-fa has adjusted, you don't need to worry about her anymore, you may leave," Ms. Lilly said. "Are you sure she'll be alright," Syaroan asked fretting about Ying-fa. "She will be perfectly fine. Look she already made new friends," Sakura pointed out. "Okay."
~~Car Ride Back~~
Sakura watched as Syaoran droved. He looked nervous. "Are you alright Li- kun?" Sakura asked gently. Syaoran paused for a while but then nodded. "You're nervous about Ying-fa aren't you?" Sakura asked him, "Don't worry, she's perfectly fine. Ha, I remember my brother fretting when it was my first day of school. He watched me like a hawk when he dropped me off and when a boy offered to let me play with him, My brother scared him off with his trademark glare and called him 'gaki'," Sakura said with tears starting to sting her eyes.
"Kinimoto-san, are you alright?" Syaoran asked handing her a napkin. Sakura nodded and wiped her eyes. Syaoran had a sudden urge to comfort her in some way, but he knew that he couldn't. "Am I boring you with these stories of my life?" Sakura choked out. "No, not at all, I like listening to your stories. I find them quite nice and humorous," Syaoran said giving her a genuine smile which made her blush.
"Well, on my first day I was so nervous I didn't know what to do. Thank goodness Tomoyo was there! We were best friends from the start. There was also this guy with blue hair and glasses. His name was Hiiragizawa Eriol. We became good friends too," Sakura told. "Wait, did you say Hiiragizawa ERIOL?" Syaoran asked inquizitively. "Yes. Why?" "Oh nothing."
"I like listening to your stories Kinimoto-san. It get's my mind off of worrying about Ying-fa," Syaoran said. Sakura looked up and smiled. "Thank you. When Tomoyo left, I was only left with my boyfriend. He pretended to care but he never really listened to what I ever had to say. It was always about what he had to say," Sakura explained.
~~Li Manor~~
Sakura and Syaoran both entered the manor together. "Li-kun, don't you have to go to work today?" Sakura asked. "No, I'm done with all of my work since I work more this week. I don't have anything to do at work." "Oh, I see."
Sakura went upstairs to Ying-fa's room to clean it up. To her surprise, it already was. When she came back downstairs, she saw Syaoran reading the news paper. "Li-kun, does Ying-fa clean up her room by herself?" Sakrua asked, "Yes, but I help her a little. We usually clean up when she's done brushing her teeth and showering." Sakura nodded.
A little while passed while Sakura just picked up a book from the library and started reading it. She sighed and put it down. "Is something wrong?" Syaoran asked her. "Not really but there just isn't anything to do. There's nothing to clean. It's to early to prepare lunch and I don't feel like reading," Sakura said. Sakura saw Syaoran hesitate but he said something. "Would you perhaps like to come with me somewhere?" Syaoran asked, not looking at her. "Um... okay, if it doesn't bother you," Sakura said nervously.
Sakura and Syaoran grabbed their coats and got into Syaoran's car. "Is there somewhere special you'd like to go?" Syaoran asked for her opinion. "Actually, I really don't know Oxford very well so I wondering if you could show me around," Sakura said gingerly while trying to hide the pink hue on her cheeks. "Alright, but I'm afraid we can't see much today unless you don't mind having lunch at a restaurant," Syaoran explained, "Oh, I don't mind at all!"
~~The Place He Took Her~~
Syaoran took her to a large park that was not very crowded nor vacant. "This is a place I like to come and relax. I usually come when Ying-fa is with one of her friends or something. I bring her a lot too," Syaoran explained while they walked. Sakura nodded.
"There used to be a lot of parks like this in Japan. I loved going to them," Sakura said looking around. "It must be even nicer there since the temperature is warmer," "Yes, it is. It's especially beautiful during mid- spring when all of the cherry blossoms are in full bloom," Sakura said. She was amazed at how they were actually a conversation. Though Syaoran was quite serious, she still felt comfortable with him. He wasn't the mean serious or anything, but he could loosen up a bit. Sakuar liked it when he smiled. It fit him.
"Cherry blossom. If I'm not mistaken, that's also what your name means, right?" Syaoran asked. "Yes it does. I was quite surprised when I found out that your sister's name was also cherry blossom. My mother named me cherry blossom before she died. Her name was Nadeshiko," Sakura answered. "Another name of a flower, I see," Syaoran observed. "Li-kun, you what does your name mean?" Sakura questioned. "Syaoran means 'little wolf' in Chinese. My father named me," Syaoran answered. "That name suits you well, but I think 'little' wouldn't apply to you anymore," Sakura said taking a look at Syaoran's height. He was much taller than her. Maybe about five inches or so.
Syaoran laughed when he saw Sakura literally staring up at him. "You're funny," Syaoran said still laughing. "Hoe?"
Sakura and Syaoran came across a ice cream stand. "Would you like some ice cream? My treat," Syaoran suggested. "Okay, stawberry please," Sakura answered. "I'd like one strawberry and one chocolate please," Syaoran told the man. He paid the ice-cream man and handed Sakura her ice cream and continued walking. "Li-kun can we sit down? My legs are getting a bit tired," Sakura said. To their luck a bench was conveniently there. "Sure."
"Do you plan on staying in Oxford for long?" Syaoran asked her. "Maybe, I'm not sure yet. There's no reason to go back to Japan. Atleast I have a job here," "Same here, there's not really a good reason to go back to China unless you think my annoying cousin is one," Syaoran told her. "Li-kun, do you have a best friend?" Sakura asked out of the blue. "Yes, we e-mail each other much. He's also my business partner. Have you ever heard of Eriol Hiiragizawa?" Syaoran asked her. "Yes, he's like you. Young but very successful," "And lonely," Syaoran finished.
"He's single just like you? Wow, do you know how many women would kill to be with you?" Sakura said amazed. "Well, the one that I loved wouldn't. She'd kill for my money." "Li-kun, women go wild when they see you because of you extremely good looks!" Sakura said without thinking. When she realized what she had said, she blushed. Syaoran turned a bit red too. 'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!!!' Sakura's mind yelled. Syaoran looked at his watch and noticed it was time to eat.
"Time sure flies. It's already time for lunch. Just a couple of more hours before we can finally pick up Ying-fa," Syaoran noticed. Sakura giggled. "I don't know what it is with guys and their younger sisters. Don't worry, she's okay. Let her enjoy," Sakura giggled. "If you say so," Syaoran mumbled under his breath.
~~Restaurant~~
Sakura and Syaoran ate in comfortable silence. There was bit chit chat but it wasn't anything serious. Syaoran found it amazing how he and Sakura connected. For some reason, he felt comfortable with her. He forgot he day's tensions. He sometimes scolded himself for staring at her when she smiled. He like the way her eyes twinkled when she did. 'I better not get into anything serious. She might be a threat... but that smile...' Syaoran thought.
~~School Again~~
"It's mine!"
"No it's mine!"
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"Mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Break it up you two," said Ms. Lilly. Ying-fa was quarreling with a boy in her class. He had black hair (K/N: think Yamasaki) and palish green eyes. They were fighting over the play-dough. "You blooming idiot!" Ying-fa shot at him. "You sissy air-head!" he shot back. They both gave each other glares. Ying-fa and Syaoran shared the same intense glare and looked almost identical when they glared. "Why don't you share the play-dough, I think there is enough for both of you," Ms. Lilly suggested exasperated. "No thank you. I don't play with sissies," he said sticking his tongue out. "Mark, you shouldn't say that," "It's okay, she can have it. It probably has cooties all over it anyways," he said.
Ying-fa snatched the play dough and stuck her tongue out. "Well thanks to you, it probably has rabies!!" Ying-fa fired at him. He glared back and left. Ms. Lilly sighed. Ying-fa brought over the play dough to her new friend Mariah and started playing.
Soon, it was time to go. Everyone's parents or care takers came to pick them up. "Nii-chan!" Ying-fa chirped when she saw Sakura and Syaoran standing there at the door. She rushed over and hugged both of them. "Bye Ying-fa. See you tomorrow," Ms. Lilly smiled. Mark passed by and glared at her. "Hope you don't come to school tomorrow, sissy air-head." he said with a smirk. "Why that little..." Syaoran started before Sakura stopped him. "It's okay, they're little kids. It happens," Sakura said. "But still..."
~~Back home~~
"So Ying-fa, how was your day?" Sakura asked when they got home. "It was okay except for Mark. All he does is tease me!" Ying-fa exclaimed. "That gaki..." Syaoran mumbled under his breathe. Sakura burst out laughing when she saw Syaoran. "You act just like my brother!!" Sakura said in between laughs. Syaoran and Ying-fa sweat dropped.
After they had dinner, everyone went to bed... except Ying-fa who was making plans to get back at Mark.
