Chapter 4- the adventure of Babysitter Sakura
*Syoaran is walking in the mist. Everything is in pitched black.
"Where am I?" He wondered. Then he heard someone walking toward his way.
"Who's there?!" Surprised and started to position himself in attacked mode.
As he readies himself to attack, he saw a blurred image of a boy, about 12 years old wearing a familiar Chinese costume.
"Who are you?" He asked "How could you turn your back on someone who waited for you to return!" The boy shouted.
"What are you talking about?" Syaoran bewildered asked the boy.
Syaoran step forward to see the boy. "Who ever you are show your face!" He said with threatening tone but the boy kept still.
Again the boy shouted, "You only cause her pain! You only cause her pain." And then for the last time, "THE ONLY THING YOU KNOW IS TO HURT HER! I HATE YOU!!!!"
"Who are you? What are you talking about?" Syaoran bagan to run towards the boy. He is confused. 'Who is this girl he is talking about ?' Syaoran wondered. Then he stopped. His whole body began to numb because of the great revelation he seen. The boy was him. ten years ago-.*
KRIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
"AH!" He woke up. He took a deep breath. He recalled his dream wondered what made his younger self hate him but before thinking of an answer he looked at his alarm clock and distress. "Oh no!!!! I'm late for my meeting with Mr. Shang!!!"
"Papa." Ying fa murmured, who looked sleepy.
Syaoran looked at Ying and slap his forehead forgetting to look for someone to tend his daughter. Then, the image of Eriol sprang in his head. He right away called the Hiiragizawas.
In the mean while. At the Hiiragizawa mansion, the phone is ringing for quite sometime.
"Will someone answer the phone!" Tomoyo impatiently said it. "Eriol can you answer the phone?!" Eriol heard Tomoyo but he just make his usual evil smile.
Because no one dare to answer the phone Tomoyo went down to take the call.
"No, don't." her husband warned. Angry Tomoyo asked Eriol "and why?"
"That is Syaoran. he wants us to take care of his daughter while he is away."
Tomoyo was wondered for while because her husband is acting weird again. "How sure are you and beside there's nothing wrong in taking care of his child? Ying is very cute." Her one eyebrow arched. "I'm positive, 100% sure of it. He is already late from his business meeting and he forgot to look for someone well trusted for his adorable child. Let him call Sakura."
When Eriol explain everything to Tomoyo. She smiles right away and hugged her husband for being such a genius.
"Oh no! What am I going to do.?" Syaoran was about to panic just as he remembered Sakura. Since it is Sunday Sakura is probably free. However, Syaoran is not sure if this is a good idea but he has no choice since he will be late for his meeting.
"Good morning, Kinomoto residence. Sakura's speaking." 'It's her' Syaoran thought. "Um. Sakura. this is Syaoran.." "Syaoran." She sensed that there is something bothering Syaoran. "Are you alright?" "Yes, well. you see I'm busy right now and.. I don't know someone who is reliable enough to entrust my daughter. I called Hiiragizawa but no one is answering so I thought that." "If I can be your daughter's babysitter, am I right?" Sakura added "Ye.. yeah, if it's okay with you, but of course I won't force you if you don't." Syaoran nervously answered Sakura question. "It's fine with me." Sakura reassured him "Really! Sakura you're really a lifesaver! I'll be there just a minute." then he hangs up the phone. When Sakura is about to respond the doorbell rang. "Wow!! You're fast!!" She was surprised seeing Syaoran arrived in just a few seconds. "Sorry for bothering you. I have a business proposal today with an important person. Anyway, these are her things- a spare diaper, her clothes if ever she needs to change, her food, her.." "Alright! Alright! Don't worry I know what to do. you go now!" Pushing Syaoran outside until they reach his car. "I'll be back ASAP, bye Ying, love you!! Thank you Sakura!" Syaoran left the two. Both of them wave as Syaoran's car became out of sight. They both at each other. "I never thought Syaoran is such a worrier." She smiled at Ying. They went to her room where Kero is playing videogame.
"When did your brother have a daughter?" Kero asked Sakura with confusion. Sakura just smiles and explained everything to him. "What!!! This is his daughter!!!" Kero exclaimed, "She's kinda cute for a monster." Since Kero looks like a stuffed animal Ying grab him and hugged tightly. Upon seeing this Sakura right away pulled Kero away from Ying, but this only cause the girl to cry out load. "Great, Sakura, you just made the girl cry!" Kero is panicking. While Sakura is looking for something that can stop the girl from crying, she spotted the bear, which Syaoran gave her ten years ago. "Here, stop crying okay!" Said while handing the bear to Ying. When Ying saw the cute teddy bear, she right away grab the doll and squeeze it. Sakura sweat dropped. "It seems she loves everything that her father made." Kero commented Sakura just looked at the girl. 'She is so innocent, cute and lovable.'
Unlike her father, it seems Ying and Kero is getting along with each other. Sakura baked a strawberry cake and brought it in her room for Ying and Kero's snack. "WOW CAKE!!!!" Kero exclaimed same with Ying who seems loves cake very much. "Hey, Kero remember to save some for Ying." Sakura reminded him "I will." Kero is so happy eating his piece.
DINGDONG.
"I'm coming!"
"Hi, Sakura!" It was Tomoyo.
"Oh, Hello Tomoyo. Come in!" She makes way for Tomoyo so that she could enter the house.
They went to the living room.
"I thought that you are."
"Not at home? Well, what made you think I will not be home?" Tomoyo asked Sakura "innocently".
"Well, Syaoran called you and he said no one was answering the phone."
Tomoyo thought of the moment and remember what happened that morning. "Oh that! Well, Eriol doesn't want to answer to phone. That's why."
"Why? You should be the one who is taking care of Ying in the first place." Sakura was puzzled.
"If we accept the girl, you won't able to baby-sit her right?" Tomoyo smiles
Sakura didn't get what Tomoyo' point. Then she heard some crash in her room. Upon hearing this, the two run up stairs to check what happened.
"What happen?!" Sakura is very nervous.
Ying cried out loud again when she saw Sakura looked startled.
"No---nothing!" the dizzy Kero replied.
"Kero!!" Sakura saw Kero on the wall with spiral eyes.
"Sh-she lost and got----mad at me so she threw---------me--hhhhh." Kero can't say a word anymore.
Both just sweatdropped, Sakura approach Ying and reprimanding her. While she is doing that Tomoyo brought her Video camera and tape Sakura as she is scolding the girl.
"Don't do that to Kero, Ying." Gentle but firm. Ying understand what Sakura said and she right away approached Kero who is still dizzy and hugged him but this time it is a gentle hug.
"How swe-----et!" Tomoyo say it out loud. Sakura just smiled at the girl. 'She is not that bad after all.'
"Anyway, Sakura you look like her mother." Tomoyo commented. Sakura began to blush. But it was interrupted when she saw a picture of Ying and Syaoran in some of the girl's things. The photograph was when Ying was still a baby and Syaoran is carrying her. The facial expression of Syaoran in the picture was very happy. Sakura picked the picture and Tomoyo followed her.
"Li seems very happy. but he looks so young to be a father." Tomoyo commented.
"Yes. He is happy." While Sakura is talking about the picture, Tomoyo is examining her facial expression.
"You know. you're perfect to be Ying's mother."
Sakura just looked at Tomoyo with a sad expression. She put the picture down and went to the window. She realized that even she only spent a short time with Ying there is already a feeling of attachment with the girl.
"Too bad. I'm not her mother." Sakura answered Tomoyo back.
"But you can be." Tomoyo said.
"."
Syaoran arrived at the Kinomoto's residence around 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon, shortly after Tomoyo left.
"Thanks for taking care of my daughter. I brought a cake for Kero and.. This is for you." He handed Sakura the plastic bag.
Sakura get the bag and open it. Inside is a beautiful flowing violet dress.
"You shouldn't have!" Sakura was surprised
"It's a 'thank you' gift. Since I know Ying is such a trouble." He said it shyly.
"No! Actually she and Kero have teamed up." She answered him with a smile.
Syaoran started to blush because of Sakura's irresistible smile.
"Well. we have to leave now. where is Ying?" Syaoran is having a difficulty on saying things. Then Sakura led him to her room.
On the bed, Syaoran saw his daughter sleeping with Kero.
"She must be tired." Then he smiles at Sakura who started to blush also.
Sakura escorted the two. Before Syaoran leave Sakura called him. "Are you sure you don't want to stay for dinner?"
"Yeah. Positive. I have so many things to do at the hotel. Thank you very much Sakura.." Syaoran finally left.
"Um.Syaoran!" Sakura called out.
Syaoran made an 1800 turn when he heard Sakura called his name.
"I----- I can--- I can baby-sit Ying. if you want." Sakura is madly blushing.
Syaoran was surprised. He likes the idea since he knows her well but.
"Don't you have any things to do other than taking care of Ying?" He just wants to clarify things to Sakura if she really sure of her decision.
"Of course! I'm sure. Even I know you have lots of money to spent but it would be better if someone you know will be the one to watch your daughter." Sakura's face brightens.
Syaoran was happy to hear Sakura's suggestion. I was a good idea anyway, at least he won't be bothered if someone he know is taking care of his daughter.
"Yes. Thank you, Sakura."
"Actually, I should be the one who is thanking you because you helped me ten years."
"It was nothing. We are friends after all, right?" Syaoran cut what Sakura should have said. He doesn't want to remember the old days because for him it is the past that shouldn't be brought out. "Good-bye then."
"What is the arrangement anyway?"
"The same as today? It's up to you."
"Ok. Take care of yourself. Until tomorrow." Sakura waves at Syaoran.
Kero woke up when he heard someone entered the room. He saw Sakura leaning on the door, blushing badly.
"Where's Ying?" He asked with a sad expression on his face.
"Her father already taken her home."
"Oh, too bad. So when will we baby-sit the girl again?" Kero it too excited to see Ying again. Sakura just look at him. Then she went to the window and sigh.
'I sense trouble here...' Kero thought as he still studying Sakura looking aimlessly.
