A week had past and Syaoran and Sakura were the closest of close friends. They would be called the dynamic duo, since they were always seen with each other eating, doing their homework, and walking to and from school. They seemed inseperable!
Syaoran's mother had left to go back to Hong Kong a few days back and wondered how Syaoran was actually quite socialable. Yelan was proud of her son that he had chosen a bright and an adorable friend. She thought of Sakura as one of those cute, innocent girls whom you just have to squeeze their cheeks when you see them.
Well now that Syaoran's apartment was quiet again, he thought he might as well call Sakura over to hang out. Sakura had only come once, which was to use the washroom.
You're probably wondering how Syaoran could have just 'opened up' to Sakura. He just blended the truth with lies. His lying skills were vastly improving. And knowing how gullible Sakura is, she believed everything he said.
"I'm going to call Sakura to over..I'm so bored!" he complained aloud. He picked up the phone and began to dial her number.
"Hello?"
"Hi, can I speak to Sakura, please?" Syaoran asked in a low, bored voice.
"May I ask who this is?" the voice asked suspiciously.
"Um..It's Shao Ling.." Syaoran answered.
"Oh! It's only you! For a minute there, you sounded like a guy. Sorry 'bout that." Obviously, it was Touya, Sakura's older, protective brother, who had picked up the phone.
Syaoran smiled nervously as his eyebrow twitched. He was thankful that Touya couldn't see his reaction to that comment, otherwise, Touya would definately be on to him. Sakura had told him some stories about her previous boyfriend who came over to her place before. Touya was practically breathing down his neck from the time he had arrived to when he left.
And that wasn't the only time Touya did that! Sakura had been paired up with different guys to do a project picked by her teacher. Touya had taken the day off work and supplied himself with food that would last for hours. He camped on the couch that faced directly in the direction of the table Sakura and her partner were working on. Her house was an uncomfortable to be in if you were a guy. If Touya had ever found out Syaoran's real identity, Touya would never leave Syaoran alone..especially with Sakura.
"Hold on a minute," Touya told him. Syaoran could hear him calling Sakura as she ran down the stairs heavily. And finally the daily routine of their way of showing their sibling affections for each other..
"Kaijuu! You're going to break the stairs one day!"
"SAKURA NO KAIJUU!"
A noise of a hard stomp was heard.
"Owww! Maybe you should stop eating, you're getting heavier and stepping on me harder each time!"
Sakura stuck her tongue out at him and answered the phone, "Hello? Shao Ling?"
"Yea, want to come over? I'm bored."
"Sure thing!" She perked up.
They hung up, and the next thing you know, she's already at Syaoran's apartment.
"You've got a great place!" Sakura complimented as she observed his dwelling. "I should move in since you have so much room..and look! There's a spare room!" That was where Yelan had stayed.
They sat down on the couch and began flicking the channels. Nothing good was on, she they turned it off.
"You haven't shown me your room yet!" Sakura couldn't wait to see his room.
She hopped behind Syaoran as she hummed a happy tune. Syaoran opened his door to reveal a light olive green room. It was so neat too. There was a desk beside his bed, a window with a great view, and a washroom. There was a closet, but it was hidden by a white drape.
Without delay, she headed towards his closet when Syaoran lay on his bed.
"Oh my god! You have a lot of cool clothes!" Sakura was surprised. She didn't even have that much!
Syaoran looked up to see what clothes she was liked the most. Sakura was measuring his black, zipper sweater with a hood and pockets. It was fairly tight at the chest area.
"You can borrow it if you want," shrugged Syaoran, "and whichever ones you like."
"Are you sure?" She was astounded by his generousity.
"Yea, I'm sure."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you sooo much!" She jumped onto his bed beside him and gave him a big hug (which caused some pink on his cheeks). She sprung back to his closet and ruffled through it creating a mess. After a few minutes, she paused and was confused when she reached the deeper pit of his gloomy closet. "What's this doing here?"
Syaoran blushed, Sakura was holding onto his black outined green boxers with her index finger.
"I-uh-"
"I suppose this was Syaoran's room." Sakura flung it back in from where she found it and shoved Syaoran out to try on some of his clothes.
He sighed and threw himself on the couch. Slowly, he drifted away into a slumber of white.
Syaoran awoke an hour later and assumed that Sakura had already left and slouched towards the living room washroom. The sun was still shining away, blinding his eyes. He shoved the door that was left a crack open. He regained his sights and went beet red from what he saw. He wished he was still blinded and never saw a thing.
"Ah! Shao Ling!" Sakura had quickly covered her body with a long beige towel. She only had on a bra and an underwear that rougly matched her skin colour. Syaoran thought she was naked at first, but realized she wasn't when he continued to stare. He couldn't believe that he had just seen his best friend changing!
"I-I'm sorry!" Syaoran apologized as his reflexes shut the door. His ears and cheeks were burning so much that it hurt.
"I thought you were still asleep, so I didn't lock the door. I went to this washroom because it has a longer mirror." Sakura said calmly and explained it as if it were her fault.
'How come she's not mad at me?'
"Afterall, we're both girls. It's not like I have anything else that you don't." (A/N: My mom and sisters would say that when I'm screaming at them to get out while I'm trying to get changed..)
Syaoran stayed red and couldn't manage to respond to that. 'If only you were knew how wrong you are..but I guess I do have the same..since I'm a girl right now..but that's a different story!'
Sakura came out of the washroom fully dressed in the clothes she arrived in, a gray tracksuit with pink stripes going down the arms and legs. She noticed that he was flushed and walked over to him to feel his forehead.
"Are you ok? It looks like you've got a fever. You should go back to sleep as soon as possible!" Sakura ordered motherly.
Syaoran nodded his head lightly.
"Alright, good. YOu better come to school on monday! Well, I better go. Touya is going to get worried and may have already called the cops to search for me. I was supposed to be home half an hour a go." She put on her shoes and ran opened the door. "I'll see you Monday morning! Bye!"
"Bye.." croaked Syaoran.
Sakura smiled and sped off.
Syaoran's faced had cooled down a bit. "Why am I blushing so much?! I've..sort of got what she has.." he said frustratedly, but it didn't sound right coming out of his mouth, so he decided he would just shut up and wash his face with cold water.
"I'd better take a nap..I'm still tired." He went on his bed and tried to fall asleep, but he couldn't. All he could think of was what he had just seen; Sakura almost naked! He tossed and turned, trying to get the image out of his head. He almost fell asleep, but the phone rang. He growled and picked it up.
"What?" he snapped grouchily.
"Syaoran! How dare you speak with your mother like that!"
"Sorry mother," he mummbled, still pissed off.
"I've just called to check up on you to see if-"
"I'm fine."
"Well have you found-"
"No."
Yelan was getting impatient with her son. "Will you let me finish my sentance?"
"Sorry."
"That's better. Now tell me what is the matter? Sounds like you're pmsing."
"Pm-what?"
"You're awfully moody. Have you got your period?"
"Period? What are you talking about?" Syaoran had never heard of such words that his mother had mentioned.
"My dear, you have so much more to learn of the female nature.." she sighed and explained what they were and what to do if he gets it.
"....." he felt light headed.
"Hello? Dear? Are you listening?"
"..Yes.."
"Well then give me a call if you need more guidance when you do get it." They hung up.
He was frightened. He didn't want to be bleeding..down there! syaoran shuddered at the thought. It was stupid! And besides, how could he possibly get it? He's a MAN. And men don't get periods! He watched t.v till it was late at night and went to bed.
That morning, when he woke up, he felt terribly uncomfortably, as if something was wrong. He got up from his bed and felt his underwear weighing him down a bit. It was also moist..
"OH GOD, NO!"
He searched his bedsheet to find red blood stains.
"NO! NO! NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"
He ran into his washroom to make sure it wasn't really true. He pulled his pajamas down, and there was a blood stained underwear..
"SHIT! NOO!"
....
