_-_-_-_
The next few weeks passed by like mad. Everyone was becoming frantic as they packed hurriedly, their plane left later that afternoon, and no one was ready.
-The Guys-
"Hey Tak, have you seen the duct tape?" Eriol asked looking through Syaoran's box.
"Nope. But Syaoran, I found your Diary." Takashi said as he tossed it over onto his room-mate's bed.
"It's not a diary, it's a journal." Syaoran said as he stuffed the green leather bound journal into his message laden white backpack.
"Are you sure i can go with you guys?" Reese asked as he walked into their room.
"Yeah, we'd feel bad if you were the only one staying here in the dorms while we're off skiing, and skating, and just hanging with our girl friends while Syaoran wishes he were us and daydreams about.." Eriol started until Syaoran elbowed him in the stomach.
Everyone in the room laughed. "Yeah, you guys might need some chaperoning huh?"
Just then Chiharu popped her head into the room. "Just thought I'd let you guys know that once we land in Boston, my cousin Brooke is going to join us. My aunt and uncle are going out of town. She's just a little bit younger than us." She looked at the look on the guys faces. "Oh, god. Leave the poor girl alone. I don't want any of you to hurt her in any way. If you do, then you'll have to answer to my dogs." With that, she turned on her heel and went back to the girls.
"Some temper that one has." Reese said as he headed back towards his room.
"You'll get used to it." Takashi started. "Did you know that when.."
"Hey Eriol, look what I found." Syaoran threw the duct tape to Eriol, and Eriol quickly put a piece over Takashi's mouth.
"Thank you Syaoran. I thought i was going to have to listen to him connect tempers to the Jersey Devil or something."
"Mwell aashuallie.." Came Takashi's muffled response.
"Shut up before i kick you in the balls!" Eriol yelled as he threw Takashi's back pack at him.
-The Girls-
"So Chiharu, what's Brooke like?" Tomoyo asked as she packed her belongings into her trunk.
"She's a sweetheart. She's going to major in theatre too, she's going to try to come here." Chiharu said.
"How'd the guys take the news?" Sakura asked packing her laptop.
"Oh you know, they got that evil glint in their eyes." Chiharu closed their door. "We might not want to go so easy on them. We'll have to be more creative."
A mischievous smile crept across their faces. "I think i know what you have in mind." Sakura said before pulling her gray hoodie over her head.
-About 2 Hours Later-
"Damn you Takashi!" Syaoran yelled dragging his friend down the crowded halls of JFK Airport.
"What'd I do?" Takashi asked as he ran into an old lady, knocking her down. "SORRY!" he called as Syaoran continued to drag him.
"Just wait till i tell Chiharu about how you were flirting with that security guard!" The little wolf threatened.
"You wouldn't!"
"Oh, believe me, I would."
"Then what are you doing just standing here little boy? It's time for the soccer captain to shine!" Tak said running away.
"Ass." Syaoran muttered under his breath as he raced towards their gate.
-Sakura-
"Where is he?" she asked quietly, so no one would hear her. No such luck.
"Who? Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked pulling her friend aside. "You have a thing for him, don't you?"
"Tomoyo! Don't be silly!" Sakura looked down at her pink backpack. "He's just, a really good friend."
"One you could possibly spend your life with?"
"TOMOYO!" Sakura looked appalled
Their conversation was cut short when a certain brown haired beau came up to them. Placing one hand on Sakura's shoulder to keep his balance while he was out of breath. "Not..Late..Am I?" he got out between panting.
Tomoyo nodded, "We're still here, aren't we?"
"Gee, thanks for the compassion. I just nearly killed myself damn it!"
"Syaoran. Chill out. God!" Chiharu said coming up to her friends. "What happened to you two? You were with us up until we passed that first news stand back by security. 40 terminals away!?!?!?" she shouted
"Nothing. We just got caught by a headline. That's all." Syaoran half-lied. It was truly only him who'd gotten caught by a headline. Then of course, came Takashi's flirting, but he left that out. "Sorry." He turned to Sakura, "Can I talk to you?"
"Go ahead." Sakura retorted.
Syaoran looked at the other two. "Alone?"
Tomoyo and Chiharu began to turn around and walk off, but something struck Tomoyo, and she turned around to whisper into Sakura's ear, "Just good friends, eh?" she asked, making Sakura turn bright red. Tomoyo followed after Chiharu to join Tak, Eriol, and Reese where they sat.
"You feeling ok?" he asked, smiling evilly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." she looked into his bright amber eyes. "What did you want?" she asked picking up her backpack and sitting near a window, away from other people. Syaoran sat next to her.
"I wanted to tell you about a run-in with your brother the other day."
"Hayden?"
"No. Touya."
"Touya? What did he say?"
"He told me things. About you." he looked down and read over messages that could be made out on his messy used-to-be-white backpack. "About your situation."
"Green?"
"Yeah, that too. But, there was something he asked me to do for him. You know, strict older-male-brother business."
-Flashback-
"Hey! Hey! Stop!" Touya yelled over a crowd of students at the local café.
Syaoran stopped and turned around. "Me?"
"Yeah. You're Li right?"
"Syaoran. And you are?"
"Kinomoto. Touya. I'm Sakura's brother."
"Oh. Nice to meet you." Syaoran said shaking Touya's hand.
"Come, sit. Hayden sent me here for you." Touya said pointing to a table in the back.
"I have to take a friend to their class though."
"Don't worry about it. My partner Yukito will take them. This is important. Hell, we'll call it detective work." Touya said whipping out his badge. "Have a seat."
Syaoran sat and looked to the older man. "So, what did Hayden tell you about me?"
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that he's a good judge of character when it comes to our baby sister." Syaoran snorted. "Listen to me boy! There are things I'm going to tell you about, and a huge favor to ask of you."
Touya went into his lecture on his mother and their connection to Green.
"They'll be following you. I guarantee it. My favor is, will you protect her? Watch over her like I would if i was there? Keep her safe?"
Syaoran stood up. "Honestly," he began and looked straight into Touya's eyes. "I'd have done it anyway. What kind of man would i be if i didn't protect the ones i care for most. You already know how i feel for her. If you ever need anything, just call me." he looked away, "I'd give anything so she wouldn't have to feel pain."
Touya smiled, "I like you. I'm glad my little sis.." Syaoran looked back to him. "Never mind. She'll tell you. Go now, you have a trip to get ready for."
-End Flashback-
Syaoran explained how he knew about Green, and how Touya had asked him to watch over her. However, he left out the fact that he would have done it anyway. That's when he pulled out a newspaper from his backpack. He handed it to Sakura.
She looked in shock and read the headline, "Boston murders connected to Green's Gang." She looked at Syaoran with tears in her eyes. "I don't want to go Syaoran. I don't feel safe now."
Syaoran handed her a tissue form his pocket and said, "Cheer up, nothing will happen. I promise. Just be brave."
"But i can't. I don't have the strength."
"Then let us be your strength." Sakura looked back at him. "Ever since you opened up to us, we've cared about you like family. I have four sisters. Believe me, when i say nothing's going to happen, nothing will happen. Trust me, ok?"
Sakura nodded as they were announced to board their plane.
"SAKURA! LET'S GO!" Tomoyo and Chiharu yelled from the gate. Sakura nodded and followed them, stuffing the newspaper into her backpack.
So, I guess to him, I'm just another sister. she thought as she boarded the plane. If only she knew, how very wrong she was.
