" Ne, nee-san, is Yukito san going to come to our house today?"

" Yuki? No, I don't think so. Why?

" Hoe..."

Sakura paused to think for a while.

" Do you think ...if..it was possible to... eh..ask him..."

" What?" Touya asked impatiently.

" To... asked him... over?" Sakura asked hopefully.

"......."

" So, I guess it's not possible...but anyway, thanks for your help..."

Sakura walked away, crestfallen.

"...If there are delicious food served today, perhaps he would crawl over to our house..." Touya replied absently while reading his newspaper.

" Oh, really? Then, then, I could cook the dinner tonight." Sakura said with great enthusiasm.

" You are cooking tonight? Then I don't think he would come over."

" Why?"

" How can a monster's cooking be edible? People with common sense won't take your food." Touya said sarcastically.

" Why, you.."

Sakura took her revenge by stepping HARD on Touya's foot, and a painful howl could be heard throughout the neighbourhood.

" The rain just won't stop..." Chiharu said, feeling depressed because of the rain.

" I heard from the news that it was only in Tomoeda that the rain are not stopping. Other areas have already been hot and sunny." Rika replied.

" How wonderful!!!! This must be one of the supernatural occurrences!!!" Naoko responded with sparkling eyes.

Chiharu and Rika sweatdropped and shake their heads, when Yamazaki popped out of nowhere and began his history telling.

" You know what, Chiharu , Rika and Naoko? The rain is no ordinarily rain. The rains are tears. Tears from a woman who was crying for the death of her husband who died while building the Great Wall of China. Rumours had that, this woman would cry every year at the Great Wall of China, even after her death. Plus, do you know..."

" Hai, hai. Yamazaki kun, aren't you supposed to clean the blackboard today?" Chiharu sighed, while returning to stare at the rain.

" Rain can be so depressing at times. Look, even the cheery Sakura looks depressing also." Chiharu stole a glance at Sakura, who was sitting there, staring into space.

"How can it be? I have already collected all the Clow cards, so there shouldn't be any more ..." Sakura was so frustrated that she knitted her brow and pouted without her notice.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, something appeared in front of her.

She stared at it.

It was something puny but beautiful.

It was after some time then she realized that she had been staring at a flower. She looked up.

It was Eriol who had presented this flower to her.

" Eriol kun!!!" She stood up abruptly and blushed.

"This is for you." The flower was lightly put into Sakura's hand.

" Thank you." The blush never leaves Sakura's face.

" I think this flower is very suitable for you. It matches your warm smile."

" Oh, really?" that comment made her blushed even harder.

" I'm not telling you a lie. This is true. Your smile will always radiate warmth in people's heart even when you didn't notice it." Eriol smiled.

" The same goes to you." Sakura replied warmly.

Eriol just gave her a friendly smile and walked away.

Sakura was thinking how gentle and mature Eriol is, when the stomping of footsteps, similar to an elephant, was heard and is coming her way.

"OHAYO GOZAIMASU!!!"

" O..ohayo.., Syaoran kun..."

Sakura was amazed at Syaoran's outburst.

[Normally, he can be quiet as a cat, and sometimes, he can be as noisy as kero chan. I can't seem to know what he's thinking ] Sakura thought.

" Ohayo, Sakura chan."

" Ohayo, Tomoyo chan."

Tomoyo was about to say something regarding the homework, when she saw that Syaoran was again, having a staring contest with Eriol.

Obviously, Syaoran had lost. Eriol don't even bother to play this game with him. In the end, Syaoran just freaked out even more, making him looked like a sore loser.

[ Hohoho, this is getting interesting...] Tomoyo was amused and secretly thought to herself.
