Hi Minna-san! *ducks from flying objects* GOMEN NASI!!! I know, I'm an idiot for leaving you guys too long, but seriously, I've had some trouble getting started. Warning though: I've got an AP (Advanced Placement) test for European History on the 9th of May and let's just say I haven't been doing so well in that class overall. *ducks from a flying shoe* I'LL TRY MY BEST TO KEEP UPDATING, BUT GOSH DARN IT…it's hard to!!! T_T

Help: I have another story that I wrote…or only a chapter of it that I was going to post, but I'm not sure if it's…well…if what Syaoran says is going to be too terrible to post (it's not a lemon). Would a couple readers care to read the first chapter to see if it's okay or not? E-mail me or say it in your review, please!

Okay! I promised I'd do shout-outs and I finally got around to doing them! ^^;;; Here they are:

Cinnamon~ I'm glad you like the spacing. Lot easier on the eyes, ne?

KawaiinessPnay~ *hands over a tissue* I'm glad you liked it! Sorry to make you cry, but I'm glad it showed emotion! ^^

TreeLeaf~ I can't believe I did that! O.O Thanks for correcting me!!!

A LiTTle SomeOnE~ Don't worry! ^_~ *wink! You'll get your happy ending with S+S together! It wouldn't be a Cutie Blossom story without it!

lil-saiten-15~ A.) No, there are still many more chapters to come. B.) You were pretty much right with your guess (with a few bumps along the way) C.) I hope you did well on your book report! ^_^ D.) Doesn't matter if you are a latecomer (that's one word o.o…did you know that?), I'm just glad you could enjoy the story!

Sakuragirl~ Serena: I know it was off in date, but ff.net wasn't accepting my chapters for this story and I finished that chapter on the 11th of September. Sorry if that confused a bit! ^^; Glad to hear you liked it though! Sakura: Don't be afraid to show emotions, girl! ^^; My sister catches me all the time! T_T In the words of my sister, "Sad day!" ^^; I'm glad you both enjoyed it! ^_^

Emeraldiris~ I'm glad I was on target with the emotions! I have achieved my goal!! Yay! ^o^

OKAY! ^_^ I'm finished with the shouts! ^^; It's quarter to five a.m., but I'm done with it! I'm a late owl…if you couldn't tell. ^^; Now on with the story!

For a bit of a review:

"Where am I supposed to go after I get out of this wretched place?" Judith asked.

"Your house, I guess," Syaoran answered.

"Alone?"

"No, silly," Syaoran said. "I'll be there with you."

"To take care of me always? Forever?"

She wanted to know if he'd be the one to take care of her instead of her parents, Syaoran thought as he stared into her blue eyes, full of hurt, sadness, hopefulness, and many other emotions. He'd always wanted a daughter, but his business in Hong Kong didn't allow him to do it with the hours he put in. Now, because he lives in Tokyo, he could take care of Judith. Syaoran thought a minute before answering, "Yes, I will. Unless you'd want anyone else."

Judith smiled at him and shook her head slightly. "No way!"

Syaoran smiled. "I must tell you though, your grandparents will try to take you from me."

Judith looked down at the hand he still held. "I know, but I don't want to live with them. They all live far away from here and they'll make me eat nasty looking food and clean everyday. Can we stay in Tokyo, right? We don't have to move, do we?"

Syaoran smiled at her. "No, we don't. We can stay in Tokyo."

"Good," Judith said.

"I'll warn you know," Syaoran said. "I have never been a dad."

Judith smiled. "I know that."

"That's what I wasn't warning you about."

"Oh."

"I don't know exactly how to take care of you, Judith, since I haven't taken care of kids before. Don't hurt me if I don't get the hang of it right away, okay?" Syaoran asked.

Judith nodded. "I'm sure you'll be a great guardian!"—Tears came to her eyes—"My legs are really bugging me, Syaoran. I hope this pain stops soon."

Syaoran took a sharp intake of breath. At least she could feel them, he told himself. Hopefully that was a sign that she will beat the odds and will walk again one of these days.

My Daughter, The Matchmaker

The Long Awaited Chapter 4:

The Plans of the Two Young Matchmakers Begin

By: Cutie Blossom

Syaoran stepped outside of his cousin's hospital room and faced Sakura and Kristen who were both waiting patiently next to the door.

"She's fine," he told the two and they both let go of a sigh.

"That's good," Sakura said.

"Can I go in and see her?" Kristen asked.

Syaoran smiled and patted Kristen on the head. "Go on in, kiddo."

Kristen smiled and bolted right into the hospital room that held her best friend.

Syaoran turned to Sakura and smiled an worried smile. "Would I make a good father?"

Sakura blinked. "Excuse me?"

"Would I make a good father?" Syaoran repeated again.

Sakura eyed him carefully. "I really wouldn't know. I barely know you. I just met you a couple days ago I believe."

Syaoran nodded absent-mindedly. "Right. Just thought you'd know."

He started to walk away down the hall, but Sakura's voice stopped him.

"Why would you ask?"

With out turning around to face her, Syaoran answered, "Because I know have a sweet cousin, who I love to death, wants me to be her guardian and I told her yes," and continued down the hospital hall and out of sight.

"Makes sense to ask that question," Sakura mumbled to herself and entered the hospital room.

Judith's room was one of those rooms that could hold more than one patient, but only Judith occupied the room at the moment. Sakura could hear Kristen's voice behind a curtain that was cutting the room in half. Sakura sat down on the unoccupied bed to listen to the girls' conversation.

"Do you remember anything?" Kristen asked.

Judith sighed. "Not a heck of a lot. Just lots of tires screeching really. I'm feeling a lot better now because Syaoran said he'd take care of me! He's going to become my legal guardian."

"Really? Syaoran's so cool!!! So you won't have to move?"

"Nope! You're stuck with me!"

"I'd rather be stuck with you than anyone else in the world! Judith, I'll help you get better. You'll be able to walk out of here in no time with my help! We'll be able to chase after the boys together in a matter of days!"

Sakura could hear Judith giggle. "Thanks, girl! You're the best."

"Tell me something new."

Sakura sweatdropped.

Judith's giggles turned into laughter. "Guess I didn't need to tell you that. Kristen, have you ever realized we act like sisters? We always are there for each other. We think exactly alike and a whole bunch of other things!"

Kristen gasped. "I know! That would be so cool if we were real ones!"

"Are you sure you'd want me for a sister now?"

"What do you mean?" Kristen asked.

"I may not be the greatest to be with now because I may be crippled for life!"

"Don't talk that way! I'll love ya to death with legs or no legs at all!" Kristen said, her voice raising just a tad, but not to a yelling level. "I'll still love ya if you didn't have both of your arms!!"

Sakura's heart soared. 'She may be a nut sometimes, but I wouldn't trade her for the world!'

Kristen continued, "Just because we might not be able to do sports together, but we'd do other things together."

"Really?" Judith asked. "Like what?"

"We can still go to the mall together or even to the movies! Just remember, you aren't crippled yet! Not until the fat lady sings!"

"Thanks Kristen!"

Kristen giggled. "Hey! That's what best friends are for!"

There was silence that overtook the room. Sakura almost called out to Kristen, but then her daughter gasped really loud right before she said anything.

"I've got a brilliant idea!" Kristen said, excitedly.

"Oh really now? Do tell!"

"We can become real sisters!"

Judith gasped. "That's impossible, Kristen, and you know it!"

Sakura saw her daughter shake her head. "Nope! You said that Syaoran is going to be your guardian, right?"

"Yeah…"

Kristen clapped her hands together. "We'll play matchmaker!"

"I don't get it."

Kristen giggled. "Well, I've been trying to get mom back into the idea of getting dating again! We'll match my mother and Syaoran together!!!"

Sakura immediately had to clamp a hand over her mouth from gasping and revealing herself to the girls. Has her daughter lost her marbles? It sure sounded like just that! Sure she knew that her daughter was trying to put her and Syaoran together, but now Judith would be in on it! This would make things a tad bit more tricky to avoid Kristen's matchmaker tricks.

"Oh I don't know…"

"They've already hit it off," Kristen put in. "Mom had a sort of dazed, happy look when she picked me up after the lunch her and Syaoran had just the other day."

Judith thought a moment before answering. "You know…this just might work!"

Kristen leaned over to her best friend. "Can I have a pat on the back then?"

Judith smiled and patted her best friend on the back a couple times. "Not that I need to higher your ego level more. It's already at the level 'Dang Dangerous.'"

Kristen beamed. "Yeah, but I like it up there. I want it up another level."

"You would."

Sakura sneaked out of the room. She once she was out, she leaned against the wall and placed a hand over her heart. Her daughter was really serious about putting Syaoran and her together! And now Judith was going to be a…

MATCHMAKER!!!!!!

Sakura could feel a headache come to her head. She should have a talk with her daughter when she got Kristen back home.

"Sakura? What's the matter?"

Sakura jerked around to see Syaoran walking towards her.

"We're in trouble."

Syaoran's face filled with concern. "How?"

Sakura blushed, not sure if she should tell him, but thought it was for the best. "Judith and Kristen…"

"Yes?"

Sakura's mouth opened and closed many times before saying, "They've got a plan. They want us to be together. They are going to play matchmaker!!!"


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Okay, this wasn't my best chapter, but the rest of the story will be filled of S+S and of Judith's recovery. I promise the next part will be fluffy. Aren't ya wondering what Syaoran's reaction will be, though? ^^ Plus! I'm hoping I'll get some Eriol+Tomoyo fluff in some of the chapters. They might be stopping by for a visit! Man, I've got the BIG AP Test on Friday. T_T I'll get started on doing the next chapter super quick. We, the seniors, have a four-day weekend after that though! ^_^ Because of something on Monday and Senior Skip day is Tuesday! ^o^ So I'll have lots of time to write! The prom is on Saturday though, but I'm not going. T_T *sigh* Oh well! See you next chapter!

Ja ne!
