Aaannndd~ the story resumes...O.o

After the try-outs for the newcomers had ended, Sakura silently walked back home alone through the quiet street in her hometown. Sakura waited 15 minutes for Syaoran to come, hoping that he'll somehow escape from the stealer-that-took-her-friend-away-just-so-that-she-can-be-with-him-while- she-can't girl that Sakura graciously named her, but her wish never came true.

Kicking a loose gravel along her way, Sakura pouted cutely, swinging her bag carelessly around and around, not concerning about anything around her.

*Thwack*

"Sheesh Sakura, watch where you're swinging that thing, it almost poked my eye out!"

Sakura stopped and immediately shot her head up, but instantly felt disappointed and somewhat annoyed when she realized that it was only Touya.

"Oh, it's only you," Sakura glumly stated, looking away from her brother and started walking back home, staring at the ground.

Touya yelled back, "What do you mean 'it's only me'? Who else would I be?" but Sakura ignored him.

Sensing that something happened to the little kaju, Touya hopped off his bike and strolled alongside her. "Oi, What's wrong with you?" asking her a bit more gently.

Sakura, still staring at the sidewalk, replied nonchalantly, "Nothing's wrong." Touya stared at her, "It doesn't look like nothing's wrong."

Sakura took a deep breath and said, "Just some things happened at school today," shrugging a little, "Nothing big," she added. Finally glancing back at her brother, she noticed someone was missing. "Huh? Where's Yukito-kun?"

"Oh, Yukito. He said he had to go home early today to work on a project he's doing in class." Touya gave her an amusing look. "Why, do you miss him?"

"N-no. Just wondering where he was." Sakura blushed slightly. 'Not like the certain someone she was suppose to be with right now.'

"Where is the brat anyways? Doesn't he usually walk you home everyday?" Touya's voice shattered her back to 'the problem'.

"Yeah." Sakura's shoulders slumped slowly. "He had to walk with someone else home today. Said that she needed 'help' on her homework today." Sakura rolled her eyes. "Like she needed any help from anybody if she's a tutor at school," Sakura muttered to herself.

"Did you say something?" Touya held a confused look.

"Huh? Oh, no. It's nothing." Sakura smiled at her brother. With a big sigh, she announced aloud, "We better get home soon. It's getting late." Making herself comfortable on the back of her brother's bike, she motioned him to hop on.

While they were riding back home, Sakura heard Touya mumbling softly, "With someone else? Hmph, never knew he had it in him..."

****************************

When they reached home, Sakura hopped off the bike, but was pulled back when strong, muscular arms in-circled around her slim waist. With a tiny yelp, Sakura dropped her bag, and swiftly craned her head to the side to see who is was. Taratsu.

"Did you miss me?" he whispered in Sakura's ear.

Struggling out of his grip, she hissed, "No, and I would appreciate if you wouldn't touch me."

Chuckling deeply, he tightened his grip and answered, "And why would I do that?"

"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing to my sister?"

Realizing that he wasn't alone, he loosened his grip, but not too loose to let Sakura out of his hold. Slowly turning he turned his gaze to Touya, he conversed casually, "Touya. How's it going? Heard that you made the soccer team this season."

Scoffing, Touya glared at Taratsu fiercely. "How's it going my ass, now get your hands off of her."

With an annoyed sigh, he reluctantly unwrapped his arms. Sakura quickly went away from him. Retrieving her book bag from the ground, she gave Taratsu a vile look, but turned around went to go inside. Turning her gaze back to her brother, she said, "I'm going in."

Taratsu lingered at the door where Sakura had just closed. Shaking his head with amusement, he looked back at the only figure standing on the front yard. Taratsu knew better to mess with Touya.

If Taratsu were the eyesight for every girl in his school, then Touya would have been the ideal boyfriend in every town. When Touya had been enrolled into Yososhi High, he swelled every girl's heart with content, alongside with Yukito of course. Everybody knew that Touya was well known throughout his school year, and some people even think that that was how Sakura became popular.

Giving Taratsu a cold glare, Touya pulled his bike towards him, and silently left the arrogant boy.

Forming a visible smirk, Taratsu whispered out loud, "Just you wait, you'll be in my hands no matter what."

Yay!~ Finished! Wow~ this chapter went nowhere. Huh. Ahh well~ Sorry this chapter is pretty short. Just can't think of anything rite now. Like in chapter three, one of the main characters did not show again. ^^; Sorry~ But I'll include him next time! And I'll make sure to add more S/S scenes later on. ^_~ Please review!!

Oh! And I'll be extremely, immensely, intensely overjoyed if someone can become my beta reader for me! Because I seriously need one! And another reason is because I didn't actually proofread this chapter...he he he... Too tired~ *grins sheepishly*
