Chapter 2

Working Together

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

"Hey Tomoyo, lets get ready to go to lunch!" Sakura said happily.

"Sure!" Tomoyo said as they both grabbed their lunch boxes. They then went to their group of friends, Chiharu, Naoko, and Rika.

"Hey!" Tomoyo said as they sat down on the grass besides their group of friends.

"Hey!" They all replied.

"So I've heard that all of you guys have boyfriends now eh?" Tomoyo said slyly. Then everyone blushed.

"Guess I take that as a yes…" Tomoyo said, "This is gonna be sooo cool! I'm going to be the one to design your wedding outfits! DON'T GET TAILORS! At least with me, you'll get it for free ~_^!"

"Uhhh…sure I guess?"

"…Sure…"

"Hm…sure?"

And those were their answers!

"Anyways, hey Tomoyo, Sakura, you guys don't even have boy friends yet, you guys should get a boyfriend! You both look kinda lonely at sometimes." Chiharu said.

"NANI?!" Sakura and Tomoyo both shouted.

"Nah, I like the simple single life at least I get some space ya know?" Tomoyo said.

"I don't feel like getting a boyfriend now, I need some time to think over most of other stuff…" Sakura said.

"Yea! We're the single sisters, and we're proud!" Tomoyo said, and everyone sweatdropped.

"Hey! Everybody! Did you guys notice that Sakura isn't her quiet self anymore?!" Chiharu shouted and pointed an accusingly finger at Sakura, while she smiled brightly.

"Hey, you're right! Does that mean you've…"past on"?" Naoko asked.

"Hm…well yea, I mean people pass away at some points right? It doesn't mean our world will end…I realized that yesterday." Sakura replied. Everyone smiled at Sakura's old self.

--Syaoran and Eriol--

"Hey Eriol, you said you wanted to go to my house this afternoon right?" Syaoran asked.

"Yea, so I'll be there around 3:00 to chill alright?" Eriol asked.

"Ya…" Syaoran said. "But I have to go to the store and buy something first so just go inside my house first, the keys are under the vase outside."

"Okay" Eriol replied.

Syaoran then sighed.

"What's the matter buddy?" Eriol asked.

"Oh nothing, I just remembered that Meilin is coming, that's the worst part of the day!" Syaoran said and groaned.

"Hm…I wonder when would she be leaving, anyways, lets get ready to go to class?" Eriol said.

"Yea…sure…" Syaoran said.

--After School--

"Sakura are you sure you don't need a ride home?" Its gonna be dangerous out here…" Tomoyo said.

"It's okay Tomoyo, I don't need a ride, I'm gonna be fine ok?" Sakura said.

"Okay…" Tomoyo replied. She got in her limo and drove off. Sakura was just happily humming while walking. She then noticed the clouds were getting gray and dark so she knew that it was gonna rain so she quickly ran home but there was just a person inside a black car, watching her every move.

--Eriol--

"Hm…I wonder if Syaoran is home yet…" Eriol said quietly. He then picked up the vase and took the key under and opened the door to Syaoran's house.

"SYAORAN HONEYYYY!" a voice shouted and leaped onto Eriol.

"What the hell?" Eriol shouted.

"Wait, your not Syaoran!" the voice shouted.

"No duh!" Eriol replied. Eriol then squinted his eyes and then he realized who it was…

--Sakura--

It started to rain just as Sakura predicted. She was still running cause her house was pretty far away. She then stopped when a man came out of a black car and walked towards her.

"Hey babe wanna go chill with me?" the man said.

"NOOO! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Sakura said. The man then took her by the wrist. Sakura knew only one way to get her free, and that is to…

--Eriol and Meilin--

…Meilin

"Is that you Meilin?" Eriol asked.

"Yea, I'm Meilin, who are you? What are you doing in my Syaoran's house? OMG! YOU MUST BE A ROBBER! AHHHH! HELP HELP! SOMEBODY! PLEASE HELP ME! THERES A ROBBER IN MY HOUSE! AHHH—"

Eriol covered her mouth and sweatdropped. "Meilin! I'm Eriol! Eriol Hiiragizawa! Your cousin!" Eriol then let go of Meilin's mouth.

"OOOOOOOHhhhhhhhh…" Meilin said. "So where's Syaoran?"

"I dunno, though, I remember said he was going to the store to buy something."

"Oh, well I'm gonna go watch TV then."

"Yea me too…"

--Sakura--

*BANG*

And that is to…kick the guy's crotch.

"Shit" the man cursed under his breath. Sakura then ran away but he got back up limping to get back to her. It was still raining so she decided to run to a dark alley with two passageways. Unfortunately, the man catched up to her and grabbed her wrist again.

"OoO, feisty one I got here huh?" the man said.

"LET GO OF ME!" Sakura shouted. Sakura tried to kick him in the crotch again but he luckily dodged.

"Hah! I'm not going to fall for that one again!" the man sneered. The guy pinned Sakura to the wall and she closed her eyes, but then she felt his grip on her wrist loosened so she reopened her eyes to see the man lying unconscious on the floor. And to see her hero right in front of her, Syaoran.

Sakura burst into tears and felt her knees weakened so she fell to the ground and hugged her knees and started sobbing more. Syaoran who felt helpless went and sat besides her and hugged her.

--Sakura's Point Of View—

I saw Syaoran, so he was my hero, I wanted to thank him, but no words came out of my mouth, only painful tears came out of my eyes. I felt my knees weakened so the only thing I could do was sit on the ground and let the tears come out. I kept thinking, what would have happened if Syaoran weren't there to save me? What would have happened?

I then felt strong arms around me giving me warmth. I stop crying for a moment and lifted my head to see Syaoran hugging me; his usually cold amber eyes have now softened and seem to have a tint of care inside of it. I couldn't control my tears, they kept coming out…over and over again, but I seem to have realized that the only warmth in the world that can give me is Syaoran. I know he will never have the same feelings as me, so…I'll just keep this "little" crush to myself…

--Regular Point Of View--

Sakura is still crying, but when she felt the hug of Syaoran, she immediately hugged Syaoran back and cried in his chest. Those two, still embracing each other, their only moment of silence, to people it would have been a weird silence but no, to Sakura and Syaoran, it was the best silence in their lives, in silence they can think better and not be distracted by all the noise there are in the world. So this will be their moment to relax, and think.

Sooner after almost an hour Sakura's puffy red eyes made her eyes tired and she fell asleep on Syaoran. The only thing to do was bring Sakura to Tomoyo's house. But he didn't want to, he liked this warmth from Sakura, he wanted to stay there forever, but he realized that this moment must be broken or else Sakura would get sick. (A/N: Yea, its still raining but only a little bit in the alley cause has some roofs to cover. The dark alley has to ways people can come from, like the left side of the dark alley leads to the other side of the places, the one on the left is where the stores are, and the one on the right is where the houses are. I hope that's easy to understand @_@)

He thought for a moment and didn't want Sakura to get sick cause it was still kind of raining and it was cold, so he quickly picked Sakura up, put his jacket around her, and ran to Tomoyo's house.

*Ding Dong*

"Hi—" Tomoyo said but got cut off when she saw the Sakura's eyes were red and she was sleeping in Syaoran's arms.

"Oh my gosh! What happened to her Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked horrified.

"I'll explain later, first we need to bring Sakura to a room so she can rest first." Syaoran said quickly.

"Ok, Miko (A/N: One of Tomoyo's maids)!" Tomoyo shouted.

"Yes mistress Tomoyo?" Miko asked.

"Can you go get a bucket of hot water and a towel inside?" Tomoyo asked.

"Surely, mistress Tomoyo." Miko said and left.

"Syaoran, can you carry Sakura to the guestroom?" Tomoyo asked.

"Okay."

--The Guest Bedroom--

"Okay, so it happened like this…" Syaoran started. And so he told the story. (A/N: Eh…too tired to type…stupid homework! HMPH!)

"Oh my gosh! Poor Sakura!" Tomoyo said.

"Yea…" Syaoran said while looking at Sakura resting on the bed.

"Mistress Tomoyo, the hot bucket of water is ready." Miko said.

"Okay, thanks Miko, you may leave now." Tomoyo said politely.

"Okie dokie" replied Miko. (A/N: I was so close to writing the name Miko to Mokie, lol it rhymes with Okie and dokie, and um…Miko says Okie dokie cause she's still a teenager probably 16, she's working cause her mother is sick.) Tomoyo quickly took the towel drowned it in the hot warm water, and then squeeze all the water out, folded it, and put it on Sakura's head. Tomoyo sighed.

"I knew I should have driven her home, but nooo, her stubbornness was taking over." Tomoyo said.

"Okay, well I'll be going now, Eriol's waiting for me at my house." Syaoran said.

"Ehk…even the name makes me wanna hurl!" Tomoyo said while sticking out her tongue and pointing at it.

"Yup, that's Eriol! The disgusting hurl-maker!" Syaoran said sarcastically. Tomoyo laughed.

"Lets go have some tea shall we?" Tomoyo asked walking to the door.

"Sure."

---Dining Room---

"So what is a nice caring person like you, hanging out with a jerk like Hiiragizawa hm?" Tomoyo asked taking a sip of tea.

"Hah, well if you get to know Eriol a little better, he isn't a really bad guy. He's caring and nice too if you would do the same to him." Syaoran replied taking a sip of tea too.

"Me? No, no, no, no, no…I would neeeever eeeevver get to know Hiiragizawa a "little" better. He's still a jerk and he always will be, well to me." Tomoyo said.

"Uh, Tomoyo, keyword, "to you"." Syaoran said.

"And?"

"Well, like I said before, you and Eriol always fight right? But if you be nice to Eriol, he would do the same, he's just like a mirror, it reflects." Syaoran explained.

"But if I do, won't Hiiragizawa notice that I've been nicer to him lately?" Tomoyo asked.

"Well you know Eriol, he forgives and forgets, and he'll think you want to have a fresh new start." Syaoran said.

"Ah…I see…" Tomoyo said wandering off.

*boomp* *boomp*

Sounds of steps on the stairways. Tomoyo and Syaoran turn their heads to the stairway and saw Sakura with droopy eyes.

"HEY! GOOD MORNING SLEEPY HEAD!" Tomoyo shouted and giggled.

"WHA?! Its morning?!" Sakura said horrified.

"No silly, I was just kidding." Tomoyo said smiling. Sakura pouted like a little kid and noticed Syaoran was there too.

"Oh, um, uh…thanks for the Erm…help Syaoran…" Sakura started and then blushed.

"No problem." Syaoran smiled warmly that made Sakura looked redder than a tomato. "Well, I have to be going now, ja!"

Syaoran opened the door and again, he smiled at Sakura and left. Sakura stared at the door still blushing.

"Sakura, I can see it in your eyes…and face especially…" Tomoyo said smirking.

"See what?" Sakura said getting uncomfortable.

"You have a crush on Syaoran!" Tomoyo squealed.

"NO I DON'T!" Sakura shouted defensively.

"Yes ya do, you were blushing madly at first when he smiled at you! Don't think I didn't see that!" Tomoyo said grinning. Sakura ran to the bathroom and washed her face 5 times and came out.

"HAH! IM NOT BLUSHING NOW AM I? HUH?! HUH?! HUH?!" Sakura shouted.

"Hahaha, little kawaii Sakura, no need to hide it from me, you like Syaoran and that's it! I promise I'll keep it a…SECRET! Ya, secret." Tomoyo said.

"Humph! Believe what you want, think what you want, I sooo do not like Syaoran." Sakura said.

And with that, she stomped out of Sakura's house to go home, but when she went outside, water splashed her face. Rain. Ha ha, how can she forget it was raining? She turned around to go back inside the house but to face a door.

She pounded on the door when it opened, she saw an innocent looking Tomoyo. Perhaps too innocent looking. Sakura was dripping wet and she gave a glare at Tomoyo.

"Hehe, rain huh? Syaoran probably ran home, you should of catched up with him so he can carry you in his arms like a beautiful movie!" Tomoyo said jokingly, but her laughter soon died down as she started running for her life of the mad, very very mad Sakura.
