Chapter 4: Bad Timing for A Nice Dessert

Sakura got up from her seat after finishing her dessert and was followed by the rest of them. Meilin went out with Mark while Eriol went up to his room. Sakura was left with Shaoran since Tomoyo and Aya went up early.

"I miss you," said Shaoran out of the blue.

"You saying something?" asked Sakura. "Did you just say that you miss me?"

"Well, yeah," said Shaoran. "So you want your powers back eh?"

Sakura frowned and nodded. She agreed to a vow that in order to retrieve her powers, the person who loves her would give his own powers to her. "But I don't want it back in some ways, because it was so unfair to that someone. You know what I mean." Sakura didn't like to hold to that topic so she changed it. "Is Alex all right?"

"Yeah, he's awake now," replied Shaoran. "Actually he was on his way here in the dining room. I guess he's hungry."

Sakura looked up at the hallway and saw Alex walking towards them. She ran towards him and hugged him. Shaoran became jealous and frowned.

"Hey, you feeling all right?" she asked.

"Yeah," answered Alex, smiling. "You don't have to hug me you know. I'm still alive. Tell me, where the hell are we?"

"In my family's planet," came a familiar voice to Alex. It was Shaoran. Somehow Alex knew he had heard that voice somewhere.

"Oh ok," said Alex, looking at Shaoran. "Hey man!" he said recognizing him. "It's been a long time!"

Shaoran and Alex made a strange hand- shaking and slapped each other's back. "So how are you? I've heard you cut your wrist?"

"Did I?" Alex said confused. "That's why my wrist is bandaged!"

"What the...?" said Sakura. "You don't remember slashing your wrist?'

"Uuh, no," said Alex. "I just remembered an explosion and the shouts then I blacked out." 'Oh shit... I confessed to her before the explosion!'

"Whatever, maybe someone took over you or something," said Shaoran leaving the topic. "So, you hungry?"

"Yep," said Alex. "What do you think?" he said smirking.

Shaoran ordered the maids to prepare something for him and minutes later his lunch was ready. Both of them stayed with him while he was eating.

"Honestly," Alex said. "I don't feel good having you guys staring at me while I'm eating. It's not comfortable."

Sakura smiled and said, "fine. We'll eat something too. I mean drink. What do you want Shao?"

"Anything you want," he said sweetly. Sakura went to the kitchen and left the guys there.

"She's your girl huh?" asked Alex when Sakura was out of sight.

"Not anymore," Shaoran replied. "We broke up last 3 years ago. Need to fix some problems, you know what I mean."

"Oh yeah," said Alex. "You didn't tell her about it?" Shaoran nodded 'no'. "Damn you! You didn't tell her and it's ok for you to lose her."

"She'll soon know," defended Shaoran.

"So, you're contented that she'll know it on the other way around?"

"Well no but..." said Shaoran thinking of a way to reason it out but couldn't. "Fine, I'll tell her... soon."

"You're lucky to have her man!" said Alex, finishing his food.

"Yeah I know," said Shaoran then Sakura got back with two mugs of cold chocolate. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," she said. She still had her smile in her face since she saw Alex was all right. "So what do you guys talking about? Don't tell me you're talking about me?"

"Oh you got that right," said Alex reluctantly. "I'm just telling Shaoran here that he's lucky to have you, that's all."

"Oh really," she said. Shaoran blushed and gave Alex a glare. "Whatever. So what else can we do here in your planet? Can we have a tour around it? Well, if that's ok..."

"Uuh, of course you can but not the whole planet," he said regretfully.

"Why not?"

"Well, the planet is currently invaded by other clans," said Shaoran.

Alex almost choked hearing that. "What? So it's not safe to be here then?"

"You're all safe here in this house," he explained. "And in this town but once you're out of it, I can't hold on your safety."

"Where are your mother and father anyways?" asked Sakura.

"My mom was been captured by the Hu clan," said Shaoran frowning. "My father was on the other side of the town in his own house."

"You mean to say that this is your own house?" Sakura gasped when Shaoran nodded. "You're damn rich little wolf!" 'No wonder he will leave me for this.'

Alex finished his food quickly and was about to stand up when Sakura told him to stay for dessert.

"I'm kinda full now, princess," said Alex sweetly, not wanting to stay for dessert.

"Cmon!" said Shaoran, who knew Alex well that he didn't want desserts. "Are you going to refuse this beautiful young lady's request?"

Alex glared at him making Sakura laugh. Her laugh echoed on the whole mansion. It was filled with joy and hope that all the servants began to smile again for over three years. "Fine, if you don't want, then go," she said smiling sweetly at him.

Alex rolled his eyes around with his head and finally agreed. "So what's for dessert?"

Sakura jumped with joy and went to the kitchen to get Alex's dessert.

~* In the kitchen *~

Sakura greeted the servants happily and asked to give her dessert. "Right away, mistress," said Freda, one of the servants.

"Thank you," said Sakura, the smile still on her face. Freda handed her a tray with a slice of chocolate cake and tried herself to smile back to the mistress.

"Here you go, mistress," said Freda. "We're happy to have you here."

"I'm happy to be here, too," said Sakura.

"You know what?" said Freda. "After Master Shaoran's mother was captured, this house was left with gloom and sadness. But when you laugh, it rocks the whole place. Your smiles and laughs really brought our hopes back."

"Hope?" said Sakura, confused. "Are you kinda having a war here?"

"Yes," answered Freda reluctantly.

"Oh," said Sakura, her smile fading. "Ok, thanks for the cake again. See you around."

Freda waved her goodbye as Sakura went back to the dining room.

~* Dining room *~

"Your cake, sir," said Sakura, placing the plate on his side.

Alex said thank you and unwillingly began to take the spoon. "Man!" said Shaoran making Alex annoyed. "Don't tell me you can't eat a slice of cake?"

"It won't kill you," added Sakura, waiting for him to take the first bite.

Alex slowly took a small piece and ate it. He chewed it very slowly and quietly and his eyes were closed trying to taste the cake. He didn't know why the others liked it. The last time he ate dessert was when he was 9. His brother gave him a piece of cheesecake and it was so yucky! He didn't know what the hell did his brother added to that cake. But whatever it was, it tasted like shit! Well, that was the reason he wasn't accepting any dessert from anyone. But here he was, sitting with his old friend and crush, chewing this piece of cake.

Sakura and Shaoran watched slowly for him to swallow it. They watched how his expression changed. At last, he swallowed it and looked at them seriously. "Nice..." he said, smiling. Shaoran and Sakura let out a sigh of relief. "I like it. Who made this? The last dessert I had was that slimy cheesecake."

"You shouldn't have made up your mind that all desserts taste like that," said Shaoran, laughing softly.

"It's a good thing I hear you laugh," said Sakura to him. "And oh, Freda just told me that this planet IS having a war or something."

"Yeah, the Hu clan wants to conquer this planet," said Shaoran. "I think he is thinking of a plan now how to get rid of me and my father. The people here are of no use when we're gone."

"Have the battle started yet?" asked Alex. Shaoran nodded. "When will be the next battle?"

"I don't know," said Shaoran. "They retreated the last time we fought."

"Oh ok," said Alex, quickly finishing up his cake. "Call me if they are attacking," he stated that simply.

"Eh?" came Sakura. "You're going to fight with them?"

"Uuh, yeah," said Alex, a spoon in his mouth. "Why not? I know how to fight and face those guys."

"You just got well," protested Sakura. "And hey, what do you mean that you KNOW how to face THOSE guys?" She looked at Shaoran and Alex. "Are you trying to say that you've been here before?" Shaoran and Alex exchanged looks. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Alex didn't feel like continuing eating his food so he dropped the spoon without any noise. He looked at Shaoran who was frowning and was looking down, avoiding Sakura's eyes.

Sakura made Alex look at her by beating some rhythm by her wrist. That rhythm always annoyed Alex and the only way he could stop her do that was to look at her with pissed eyes. "I know you want to tell me something," said Sakura angrily. "Spill it!"

Alex looked at Shaoran once again but he was not looking back at him. 'Damn you Shaoran!' thought Alex, 'Help me out with this one.' But he just shut up there. 'Scary cat!'

Sakura stood up making a noise by her chair pulled back. "Fine! Don't tell me!" she yelled and went out to the gardens.

~* Gardens *~

Sakura grumbled and grumbled while walking outside the mansion. It was windy outside but she didn't care. All the dry leaves were flying and it was clearly obvious that rain was going to come. Sakura sighted a swing and sat on it. She didn't need to swing it because the wind swung it for her.

'How can they hide something from me? I know they are hiding something! I just know it! It's obvious! Dammit! How can they not tell me? Well, that's why, Shaoran is always saying it's so complicated!'

~* Dining room *~

Alex and Shaoran sat there watching Sakura, who was so angry, leave. Alex almost throws the plate of cake in front of him as his temper became uncontrollable. "What's the matter with you man?!" asked Alex, pissed.

"What?"

"What what?" repeated Alex. "Now she's also angry with me! Fine! I'm going to tell her. It's the right time and she has the right to know it!"

"Whatever!" said Shaoran, still not wanting to help him out. "Tell her and I hope she understands." He stood up.

"Are you trying to say that you're not going to tell her and you're not gonna help me out?" asked Alex. Shaoran ignored him. "You're being unreasonable here, Xiao!" He stood up and yelled at Shaoran as he walked out of the room. "She has the right to know, you know that! Xiao, where are you? The 'old you' is trying to take over you again! Can't you notice that?"

"I don't care," Shaoran said, looking back at him. "I know she won't forgive me again. She can no longer be my girl again. If she's not going to be able to accept a fact about me, well that's ok with me. Without her... I'm so lost." He didn't look at Alex one last time and just headed off to his room.

Alex gave out a sigh of disappointment. He had to do it herself then. He had to tell her the truth. 'The truth,' he whispered and went out to the gardens to join her.

~* Gardens *~

Sakura was still sitting there on the swing swung by the wind. She loved the wind-it was cool and can make her calm. But she couldn't just accept the fact that there was something that was so complicated that prevented Shaoran to tell her that 'something'.

Annoyed, she began to sing: "Uh-huh life's like this... Uh-huh Uh- huh, that's the way it is... Uh -huh coz life's like this... Uh-huh Uh- huh that's the way it is... Chill out watcha yelling for? Lay back, it's all been done before. And if you could only let it be, you will see. I like you the way you are, when we're driving in your car. And you're talking to me one on one but you've become.... Somebody else, round everyone else, watching you back like you can't relax... You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me. Tell me!!! Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated. Life's like this you... and you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty and

promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it... no no no....

~* Shaoran's room *~

Shaoran looked over his window and saw Sakura on the swing. She was alone there letting the wind kiss her precious looking gorgeous hair. 'It's always been my fault! I shouldn't have ignored that fucking fact! Now I'm going to lose her forever not unless she really has a warm heart to forgive me.'

~* Gardens *~

Sakura: "You come over unannounced, dressed up like you're somethin' else where you are and where it's at you see... you're making me... laugh out when you strike your pose take off all your preppy clothes! You know you're not fooling anyone when you've become..."

A voice joined her sing the song. "Somebody else, round everyone else, watching you back like you can't relax... You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me..."

Sakura looked up to see the person singing with her. She was surprised to see a brown- eyed, dark- auburn haired 16-year-old guy standing in front of her.
