"I'm a failure as a cop!" Sakura whined while holding her head. Tomoyo looked at the newspaper at Sakura's feet, biting her bottom lip.

"We've been slacking off...but it's been so quiet, I sort of thought that the bomber was taking a break." She said picking the newspaper. On the front cover was a black and white picture of a floral shop, the windows were shattered and the floor was black.

Chapter 8: Trying to Understand

The article told of an explosion the previous night, this was supposed to be related to the other 'bombings'. Sakura had managed to steal the paper from the Company Room and brought it back to her room.

"I feel so guilty." Sakura said, her voice muffled by the pillow she held to her face. Tomoyo hugged her friend from behind.

"Don't be Sakura-chan. We just know that we have to put more effort to catching this guy, we also can't let our personal lives get in the way."

Sakura nodded. "You're right. Add this bombing to the list Tomoyo-chan." Tomoyo went to Sakura's drawer and pulled out the folder that contained all of their "Bombing" information.

"Okay, now summarize what happened in last night's bombing, I think boss wants us to send in a report pretty soon."

"Think he'll be very happy when he finds out we've been slacking off?" Sakura asked with a grimace.

"Hell no." Tomoyo said calmly making Sakura sweatdrop. She shook her head and looked over the article.

"Let's see, they say the fireworks went off at about 10:03 P.M last night. The floral shop they went off in was called 'Am I Forgiven?' and...yeah..."Sakura summarized, her eyes flying over the paper.

"What did the owner have to say and where is the shop located?"

"Um...the owner just said the same thing all of the other store owners said. He's happy that no one got hurt yada, yada, yada, as soon as they get the mess cleaned up they'll be in business again and that he hopes the bomber will be caught soon. Am I Forgiven? is located on Cherries Ave."

Tomoyo finished writing down the information and compared the latest bombings to the last ones. "I still don't see a connection...it all seems pretty random." She said sighing.

"You know, I will be really ticked if we find out the guy who is bombing these places is doing this because his girlfriend dumped him!"

Tomoyo grinned. "Aren't they all like that though?"

"Yeah which is why it's really pathetic. But we really do need to close this case, we've been here for too long." Sakura said thoughtfully.

Tomoyo observed Sakura with a sly smile. "But you've been having fun here haven't you?"

H-hai." Sakura said blushing looking down at her hands. "But you've been having a good time too!"

"Oh yes! My dear, wonderful Eriol! I couldn't have asked for a better man!" Tomoyo sighed happily.

Sakura sweatdropped. "Okay now back to the subject. I think we should check the scene of the crime out."

Tomoyo nodded in agreement. "Hai so do I. But how can we sneak out of the house? Surely they'll notice we're missing."

"Hm...we need a reason to get out of the house." Sakura said tapping her temples with her index finger. Suddenly Tomoyo's eyes lit up. "Nani?" Sakura asked noticing the change.

"I almost forgot that my kawaii Sakura-chan is going out with the head of the house! You can make him give us a reason to get out of the house!"

Sakura blinked. "What do you mean?"

"He can't say no to you Sakura-chan!"

"Why not?" Sakura asked cocking her head.

Tomoyo slapped her forehead. "Just come with me!" Tomoyo dragged the confused Sakura to Syaoran's office.

_*_*_*_*_*_*_

(Syaoran's Office)

Syaoran sighed and ran his hands through his unruly, brown hair. Last night had been pure hell for him. All through out the dinner Shin Lo had made several attempts to get he and Meiling to bond. He was forced to talk about his childhood (which he didn't really particularly like...) for several hours and act like he was interested when Shin Lo told them that 50% of all divorces could have worked out if both members of the marriage tried. What Shin Lo did during dessert shocked him the most. When Meiling went to the bathroom and Syaoran had to go take an important business call, Shin Lo had secretly ordered them the "Lover's Supreme".

To their surprise two waiters came out from the kitchen singing an old Chinese song about true love and placed a huge banana split in front of them (which had two spoons) and also a cheesecake. Syaoran couldn't be more embarrassed when random people who were also dining started to clap and congratulated them on having such a healthy relationship.

Although the one thing that stayed with Syaoran all that night was what Shin Lo had said to him before they left.

"Who do you love more...?"

Syaoran growled and shook his head furiously. What kind of question was that? What kind of son would put his own father in that predicament?

"What is going on through that mind of his?" Syaoran quietly asked himself. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard knocking at his door. "Who is it?" He called out sounding tired.

"Um...it's Sakura." Came the answer from the other side of the door. Syaoran looked up at the door. "Come in." He said quickly.

In walked a dazed looking Sakura, and her friend who wore a wicked smile. Syaoran eyed them in question.

"Anou..." Sakura starting off looking as though she were searching her brain for the right words. Tomoyo interrupted cheerfully.

"Li-kun." Tomoyo started talking as though they were familiar with each other. "Your precious Sakura and I would like to request the afternoon off. We'll be back before 5 o'clock though."

"What do you need the afternoon off for?" He asked looking at Sakura who hadn't said a word.

Syaoran detected somewhat of an evil glint in Tomoyo's eye. "Why, we have to run to the local pharmacy and get kawaii Sakura-chan a home pregnancy test!"

Syaoran's eyes opened and Sakura almost fell over. "NANI?" They both yelled at the same time. Tomoyo doubled over in laughter. "Ohohohohohohohohohohohoho! You guys are sooo KAWAII! But seriously we just need to get a few things from the grocery store. Relax Li-kun I was just kidding, geez. You guys act as if you were worried...which you shouldn't be..." Tomoyo's eyes narrowed into little slits as she eyed them both. "unless you two have something you're hiding from me." She accused.

Sakura clamped (hehe! CLAMP! Ohoho, yeah I know...I'm weird!) her hand over Tomoyo's mouth and giggled nervously to Syaoran.

"Just ignore her Syaoran-kun, I think she's been sniffing a little bit too much of the cleaning supplies." Sakura said trying to ignore the death glare Tomoyo was giving her. "So can we have the afternoon off? Please Syaoran?" Sakura begged cutely. Syaoran gave her a bit of a smile.

"Hai, just be back by five."

Sakura smiled. "Arigatou! You're the best Syaoran!" She exclaimed giving him a kiss on the cheek and a quick hug. "JA!" She called back as she dragged Tomoyo out the door.

"I'm getting a pregnancy test?" She asked Tomoyo with a raised eyebrow. Tomoyo shrugged.

"Spur of the moment."

"Remind me to thank you later!"

"No thanks are required! Just seeing you and Li act so embarrassed was thanks enough. If only I had my camera." She sighed. Sakura sighed and began to pull Tomoyo by her ear. "Come on you! We have to get changed out of our uniforms."

"Mou! Sakura-chan, you're so violent!"

_*_*_*_*_

(Meiling's Room)

"I'm sorry Shin Lo but it's up to your father." Meiling said sighing.

Shin Lo frowned. "I don't see why you can't decide, you are my mother after all! Why should father be the only one to make the decisions?" He asked angrily. Meiling whipped her head around and saw the anger burning in her son's eyes.

"Why are you so angry?" She asked touching his shoulder. Shin Lo moved away from her touch.

"Because we're supposed to be a family but we're not! You live far away, father is always too busy for me and even worse he has a girlfriend! Not only that but his girlfriend is a damned maid!"

Meiling glared at her son. "Don't talk about Sakura-chan like that! Sakura is a lovely person and I'm happy that she's in your father's life...he needs someone like her."

"Am I the only one who sees right through her? She just wants our money damn it! Why else would she fly all the way to China from Japan? Answer me that!"

"Shin Lo that's enough." Meiling commanded as she took a deep breath in. "Now answer me this son, have you ever sat down and talked to Sakura-chan?"

Shin Lo shook his head.

"Have you ever heard her cry because she was willing to put others before herself?"

Again her son shook his head.

"Then how the hell do you plan on judging her if you don't know a damn thing about her?" Meiling demanded while glaring at her son with her crimson eyes.

Shin Lo shrank under her glare. "You should know better than to do that Shin Lo! I'm very disappointed in you right now." Meiling told him as she began to cool down. It was true that she hadn't known Sakura Kinomoto for very long but she felt a need to defend her. "Why don't you go talk to your father about what you wanted...I'm going to go talk to your aunts for a little while." Meiling sighed as she dismissed him.

Shin Lo nodded and left the room, not showing her any of the emotions he felt. He silently closed his mother's door and punched the wall as hard as he could.

"Damn it!" He cursed as he glared at the wall. Nothing at all was going his way, even his mother defended the maid.

_*_*_*_*_

(Mainland)

Sakura shielded her eyes from the bright sun as she and her best friend searched for Cherries Ave.

"Um let's see...this is 119th Street and that old man who gave us directions said that Cherries Ave. was right after 119th so we must be close..." Sakura stated as she looked at the signs.

"I think I see the shop!" Tomoyo cried as she took her sunglasses off. She pointed her index finger to a shop a few hundred feet away from them that was surrounded by yellow tape telling the locals to stay clear.

"Come on, let's see if we can get the owner of the shop to talk to us." Sakura told Tomoyo as they both sprinted towards the small shop. They were stopped by a police officer's arm.

"Whoa there girlies." The tall officer said as he brought Tomoyo and Sakura to a halt. "Can't you see that as of right now this is a restricted area?"

Tomoyo pouted cutely. "Oooo but Mr. Big, Strong officer...can't we just talk to the owner? We'll just be really quick!" The officer looked at Tomoyo with a raised eyebrow before coughing and pulling the restriction tape up so that Sakura and Tomoyo could pass.

"Don't tell anyone I did this for you." He whispered as he made sure no one was watching.

"Oh don't worry we won't, thanks a lot hun." Tomoyo said as she winked at him before crouching to go under the tape. Once they made it inside the floral shop Sakura slapped Tomoyo's arm.

"Tomoyo-chan! I can't believe you! I am so telling Eriol-kun!"

Tomoyo laughed and winked at her best friend. "Hey, a girls gotta do what ever she has to do to get what she wants."

"I can't believe you." Sakura said while shaking her head. She looked up and saw an old man sweeping up some of the debris. "I see him! He looks the same as the photo on the paper."

"Well then what are we waiting for? It's time to ask some serious questions!"

"Hai!" Sakura agreed. They approached him timidly and Sakura cleared her throat in order to get his attention.

The man looked at the two in confusion. "What can I do you for? How did you two get past the officers?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sakura and Tomoyo giggled nervously. "It's better if we didn't get into detail..." Tomoyo said.

"But we were hoping that you would answer a few of our questions..."

"Are you guys reporters?" The man asked suspiciously.

"No sir. We're just locals who were wondering what exactly happened last night." Sakura answered innocently.

The man sighed. "Well fine then, what do you two want to know?"

"Were you there when the explosives went off?" Tomoyo asked as she slyly turned on the tape recorder that was hidden behind her back.

"Actually I was. After I was done cleaning the place up I went to my car but before I could even get in I heard a loud sizzling noise and my precious shop lit up with the light from the fireworks."

"Did you see any suspicious people come in the store that day?" Sakura asked.

The owner shook his head. "Nope. I just saw the usual people and they usually pick a bouquet they like, pay and leave."

"Hm..." Tomoyo said thoughtfully. "What about when you were closing up shop? Did you see anyone lurking around outside your shop?"

"Didn't see a thing. The street light outside my shop didn't come on that night so I couldn't see a thing."

"Did the bomber leave anything behind? You know like a note, a match...anything?" Sakura asked hoping that this man would lead them in the right direction.

The man jabbed his thumb over to the officers who were inspecting every inch of the room. "That's what they're trying to find out but I don't think so."

Sakura sighed and Tomoyo pouted. "Well thank you for your time." Sakura said while bowing.

"Yeah we really appreciate it."

The old man raised an eyebrow at the two. "Are you sure you two are just locals? You were asking a lot of professional type questions!"

Tomoyo and Sakura shared an uneasy glance. Tomoyo chuckled nervously as she looked at her wristwatch. "Oh whad'ya know? It's 4 P.M, way past my afternoon nap! Gotta go, see ya, buh bye!"

Before the man could say another word the two young Japanese girls were out of sight.

"So are we getting anywhere with this case?" Sakura asked when they came to a stop. Tomoyo sighed.

"I don't think so."

Frustrated, the two made their way to the ferry and back to the Li property. Sakura smiled at the large mansion and stretched her arms out. She felt so peaceful there with the kind servants and the beautiful flowers that were in bloom.

"It's good to be back home." Sakura whispered to herself absentmindedly.

Tomoyo looked over to her friend with a raised eyebrow. "Home eh? Since when did Hong Kong become your home? Oh wait, I know the answer to this one." Tomoyo said with a sly smile. "Ever since you found out that Syaoran Li's home is Hong Kong. Right?"

Sakura looked down in embarrassment at the situation she had put herself in. "No, it's-it's not that..." She trailed off as her eyes went back to the mansion. She smiled and nodded. No she didn't mean that the Li Mansion was her home, nor Hong Kong, China for that matter. What she really meant was...

'Li Syaoran is my home.'

_*_*_*_*_

(Syaoran's Room)

"No!" Syaoran yelled as he pulled a comfortable green shirt over his head.

"Ah come on! What's the worst that could happen?" Eriol asked as he adjusted his glasses. "It's just an innocent double date."

Syaoran shot his cousin a death glare. "I don't trust you Eriol."

"What's there not to trust?" Eriol asked as he tried his 'I'm an adorable puppy and you can't say no to me' look. Syaoran just shuddered and went back into his closet to find a pair of socks.

"I don't trust you within 100 feet of Sakura-chan."

"Oh aren't you Mister Tough Guy now? Come on Syaoran it'll be fun! Besides Tomoyo-chan will be there."

"Tomoyo is about as bad as you."

Eriol sighed dreamily. "That's what I love about her."

"You're wasting my time Eriol." Syaoran's tone clearly showed that he was irritated.

"Then agree that you and Sakura-chan will accompany Tomoyo-chan and I someplace tomorrow night."

"Not on your life buddy."

"Humph! Fine, I'll go ask Sakura-chan then!"

"You'll ask me what?" A sweet voice asked catching both Eriol and Syaoran off guard.

"Sakura?" Syaoran asked as he peeped out of his walk in closet to see a confused and curious Sakura. "What are you doing in here?" He asked.

"Well Meiling-chan told me that I could find you here and that I shouldn't bother knocking because we were past that stage in our relationship...what does that mean?" She asked cutely.

Eriol chuckled lightly and Syaoran grimaced. Leave it to Meiling to say something like that. "Don't listen to a single word Meiling says, and I mean a single word." Syaoran told the girl.

"O...kay." Sakura said uneasily as she thought about what Meiling had said and what it could possibly mean. After a few minutes she turned her attention back to Eriol. "You said you had something to ask me Eriol-kun?"

Eriol nodded and grinned at Syaoran who was glaring at him. "Well my dear I was asking Syaoran if you two would be interested in a double date tomorrow night but my adorable cousin rejected the idea, so I was wondering what you had to say about it."

Sakura's eyes lit up. "I say it sounds like fun! Why did you say no Syaoran-kun? Of course we'll come!"

Eriol smiled. "Excellent. See Syaoran, I told you Sakura would agree with me."

"Bite me." Syaoran said under his breath, unfortunately Eriol heard.

"Syaoran!" Eriol gasped. "What an impolite, rude, and childish thing to say! I can't believe you would say something like that-to me! Of all people!" He continued dramatically making Syaoran roll his eyes.

"Don't you have somewhere to go?" He asked. Eriol stopped his rambling and looked at Syaoran. Then he looked at Sakura, back to Syaoran then back to Sakura. Then he grinned, wolfishly.

"Oooo I see where this is going. Sure yeah, I'll leave. Have fun." He said with a smirk as he closed the door behind him.

"Hoe? What did he mean Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked, she seemed to have been asking that question a lot.

"It means that we're gonna have a funeral to attend very soon, so make sure you have a black dress handy."

"Hoe." Sakura said with a sweatdrop.

"So did you and Tomoyo get what you needed to get...or do what you needed to do?"

Sakura nodded. "Hai, demo I'm sorry about what she said earlier...Tomoyo can be a little strange sometimes."

Syaoran smiled. "At least you only have Tomoyo. I've got Eriol and Meiling."

"Ah but you can't lie, they do spice things up!"

"Sometimes that can be a bad thing." Syaoran said with a sigh.

Sakura giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck while he subconsciously wrapped his arms around her small waist.

"My poor Syaoran-kun." She whispered as she moved closer to kiss him.

"Dad I want to-"

The two turned and saw a shocked Shin Lo at the door. His eyes were big and he was also trembling. Seeing the awkward situation Sakura immediately removed herself from Syaoran's hold with a blush.

"What is it Shin Lo?" Syaoran asked, he was a little disappointed on his son's timing.

"I-I have something I wanted to discuss with you." He stuttered, his eyes focused on Sakura who was fidgeting. "Alone." He said getting Sakura's attention. She smiled at Syaoran then Shin Lo.

"I guess I should leave then. I'll talk to you later Syaoran-kun, ja!" She left with a cheerful wave as she left the two alone before Syaoran could say anything to stop her.

With a sigh Syaoran sat on his bed. "What did you want Shin Lo?" He asked in an icy tone making his son gulp.

"Um...I was talking to mother earlier about enrolling in a public school..." He started slowly, his eyes trained to the green carpet.

"And?" Syaoran asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Um...she said to talk to you about it."

"No." Syaoran said simply.

"But...why?" Shin Lo asked finally looking at his father.

"Because you'll concentrate better with a private tutor. You need to keep your grades high, a public school will just distract you."

"You went to a public school." The boy argued.

"Yeah and I goofed off half the time. This isn't about me though, it's about you." Syaoran stated matter-of-factly.

"It's not fair!" Shin Lo exclaimed as he stomped his foot.

"Life's not fair." Was his father's reply. (Ooo don't you just hate it when your parents do that to you? I know I do!)

"But father this could be a chance for me to make some new friends."

"Make new friends on your own time, not during your studies."

"I never have any time! I've got 10 hours of tutoring, and then two hours of martial arts training! When do I have time to go out and make some friends?"

"Shin Lo I said no already, that's my final answer!"

Shin Lo opened his mouth to argue again but closed it once he saw the look on his father's face. With an angry expression on his face he stormed out of the room, almost bumping into Sakura who had came back to retrieve her laundry basket that she had forgotten.

"Hoe." She said when she saw the young boy push past her. Peeking inside Syaoran's room she saw him sitting on the edge of his bed with his head in his hands. "Syaoran?" She asked with concern.

"Hi Sakura-chan." He said giving her a tiny smile.

Sakura cocked her head. "What's wrong?"

Syaoran let out a long sigh. "Shin Lo...he's been...difficult lately."

Sakura sat on the bed next to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "What happened? Ah, gomen. You don't have to tell me, it must be personal."

Syaoran shook his head and put a hand on her arm. "He wants to go to a public school."

"So what did you say?"

"I said no."

"Why?"

Syaoran turned to look at her. "What do you mean by 'why'?"

"Why won't you let him go to a public school?"

"Well, it'll interrupt his studies."

"Says who?"

"Says me. I know kids today, all they do is mess around and party."

"How do you know."

"I just do."

"How?"

Syaoran sighed. "Where are you getting at with this?"

"Well how do you know Shin Lo won't study? How do you know that all kids party nonstop? How do you know a tutor is best for him? From what I hear from Eriol you went to public school all your life."

"That was different."

"How so?"

"I never knew I had the option of having a private tutor."

"If you did know would you have dropped public school for a tutor?"

"..."

"Syaoran?"

"No..."

"Why not?"

"Because...I was having a lot of fun."

"Now don't you think that Shin Lo should have the chance to experienced what you have experienced?"

Syaoran sighed and smiled at her. "You know...you're to smart for your own good." He said as he gave her a peck on her nose.

Sakura giggled like a schoolgirl. "But you know I'm right."

"Hai, you're right." Syaoran got up and went to the phone that was sitting on a small desk in the corner of the large room. "Wei? Yeah I need for you to hunt my son down and bring him to my room. Thank you. Bye."

"See, now don't you feel better?" Sakura asked with a smile. Syaoran nodded.

"Hai, he won't hate me then."

"Oh Syaoran he won't hate you, he's just a teenager, he's going through that anti-social stage!"

Syaoran grimaced. "He's been going through it for a while." Sakura giggled.

"Um...dad? Wei said you wanted to see me." A nervous Shin Lo said from the doorway.

Syaoran nodded and gave him a small smile, which shocked Shin Lo. Since when did his father start smiling? Then he remembered.

'Since he met her...'

"Yeah, I wanted to talk to you, it won't take long."

Sakura got off of Syaoran's bed and smiled at both of them. "I guess I'll be going then-"

"No wait. You can stay Sakura-chan." Syaoran said as he grabbed her arm before she could leave. Sakura looked at him confused then nodded.

"Um..." Shin Lo said wanting to break the connection between the two. Syaoran then turned his attention back to his son.

"Oh yes, what I had wanted to discuss." He cleared his throat and gave his son a very stern look. "Shin Lo Li, next in line to be the leader of the Li Clan; over the years I have watched you work hard to do your best, I've seen you try to please other over and over again, and I've also watched as you have matured." He stated making Shin Lo give him a confused look. "And now I, your father Xiao Lang Li, think that you have reached the level of maturity to attend a public school." He concluded while nodding his head.

Shin Lo stared at his father as he registered all of the information. His father was letting him attend a public school! His father was finally letting him attend a public school! With a big smile he bowed to his father, trying to act mature.

"Thank you father."

Syaoran held his hand out and Shin Lo shook it after a few minutes of staring at it. "I'm sorry I took me so long to realize that you have wanted to go to a public school."

"KAWAII!" Sakura shrieked in the background grabbing both of the son and father's attention. Sakura realized what she said and clasped her hands over her mouth. "HOE! I'm turning into Tomoyo-chan! No!"

Syaoran chuckled and smiled at her. Shin Lo watched him closely. He was doing it again. The weird thing where the corners of his mouth lift up and he looks happy. His father was smiling again. And he was smiling at her. Shin Lo then turned his attention to the auburn haired girl who was smiling and playfully hitting his father. Why was this girl able to make his father happy when even his own son couldn't? It didn't sound right, she was only a maid. Why should she have some special connection with his father that he didn't?

Sakura felt someone's gaze and she turned to see Shin Lo staring at her with curiosity. Noticing that he was caught staring he turned away blushing. Sakura smiled at him and winked which made him confused. Then it clicked....

'Could she have been the reason dad agreed to let me go to a public school? Did she talk him into it?' He looked at Sakura who was pouting at Syaoran who was playfully making fun of her.

'Maybe she's not that bad after all...'
