Note: This is my first fic. Please be kind when reviewing and let me know what areas of my writing need work. Thanks.

Also, I apologize if I haven't been updating fast enough for some of you. It has been really rough for me right now, but hang in there!

Summary: Syaoran comes for a short visit. Sakura's class has been given a strange assignment. She has to write about what life would be like...without Syaoran! 1st fic.

Life Without You – Chapter 6

"Rika have you seen or spoken to Sakura?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura wasn't usually fifteen minutes late for class. "I wonder what has happened to her."

"Sorry Tomoyo. If you don't know what she's up to then I shouldn't. I mean, you are her best friend." Rika smiled at Tomoyo. Tomoyo heard the door fly open. Unfortunately it wasn't Sakura walking through the door; it was Takashi returning from the washroom.

Syaoran was worried. He had stayed up late working on making his assignment sound good. He didn't want to offend anyone, especially not Sakura. If she didn't hear it, he would be incredibly embarrassed when he read it to the class. He quickly scanned his words over for any mistakes he might have missed. Syaoran found that he had made spelling mistakes everywhere. Panicking, he grabbed a pen and started to correct them. Syaoran didn't notice when Sakura finally walked into the class. His head was glued to the paper in front of him.

Sakura apologized to the teacher and sat down. She saw Syaoran scribbling all over his paper so she decided not to disturb him.

"Where were you? Up late finishing the assignment?" Tomoyo whispered softly to Sakura. Sakura nodded and took out her assignment.

"I hope I don't upset Syaoran. I really want him to know how much his presence has helped me since we met." Sakura whispered back, checking to see that Syaoran and the teacher didn't hear.

Syaoran let out a huge sigh. Sakura's head spun around to look at him, as did the other people in the class. Syaoran's face burned a bright red and he laughed nervously.

"Oh, it's nothing. Please continue." Syaoran said quickly. Tomoyo giggled. Everyone returned their eyes to the front of the room.

The teacher finished writing the agenda for the class on the board. "Alright class, first off, we are going to begin the next unit out of our textbooks. Everyone open to page 222." The teacher held up the teacher's manual and began to read.

Sakura and Syaoran tried to stay calm throughout the class. They were so embarrassed over their assignment that they couldn't even look at each other without blushing an intense shade of red. Tomoyo was distracted every time Sakura and Syaoran were blushing or fidgeting nervously. Tomoyo kept thinking of all the kawaiiness she couldn't tape from being in class.

Eventually the presentations began. The teacher called up each individual student to read his or her paper. Chiharu was up first followed by her partner, Takashi. Chiharu strangled Takashi over a comment that she probably would have gone mentally insane if he weren't here. Slowly the list came to Tomoyo who had a great assignment prepared on 'Life without Naoko.' Naoko wrote an imaginative piece on Tomoyo, flattering her especially when she mentioned how Tomoyo can fill a room with life.

"Sakura, you're up!" The teacher read off the class list. Sakura stood up slowly from her chair. Nervously, Sakura started to move towards the front of the room. "Don't be shy Sakura, I'm sure your assignment is great!" The teacher encouraged Sakura. Sakura finally made her way up to the front, and held out her paper in front of her.

"L-life w-without Syaoran..." Sakura stuttered on the first phrase. She glanced around the room until her eyes resting on Syaoran. "Hoeeeee..." Sakura was beginning to feel a bit dizzy from embarrassment.

"Sakura, are you alright? Would you like me to read it for you instead?" The teacher questioned Sakura with concern. The room began to spin for Sakura, until she eventually fainted. Syaoran and Tomoyo rushed to Sakura's side.

"Oh my! Syaoran and Tomoyo will you please take Sakura to the nurse's office so she can lie down?" The teacher was shocked, as was the rest of the class.

The three left the room. The teacher collected Syaoran and Sakura's papers and took a quick look over them. She gave small smile of understanding. The teacher thought that they were so personal that the class shouldn't hear a single word off them. She put them together on her desk and called on the next two students.

Sakura finally woke up about half an hour after the final bell. Syaoran and Tomoyo were both extremely relieved.

"Huh? Syaoran? Tomoyo? HOOEEE. . . THE ASSIGNMENT!" Sakura jumped up in fear. Tomoyo grabbed Sakura and sat her down while Syaoran watched.

"Sakura, you didn't read the assignment! You fainted in class and have been out cold all day." Tomoyo explained to Sakura. "We were all worried about you! Syaoran and I have been here with you and the teacher said we could miss class."

"Are you alright Sakura?" Syaoran said, blushing. "I'll walk you home. Let's go get our stuff."

"Arigato Syaoran and Tomoyo." Sakura wobbled out into the hallway. As they were about to leave the school, the teacher, who was holding Sakura and Syaoran's assignments in her hand, intercepted the group.

"I thought you might want these back." She held out the papers and smiled at Syaoran and then at Sakura. "I'm glad that you two made excellent efforts in realizing how important losing someone is." Sakura and Syaoran blushed. Tomoyo giggled as she videotaped.

"Don't worry, my lips are sealed. Anything you've written will not be shared by me." The teacher reassured the students before turning to walk back to her classroom. Sakura and Syaoran stood in surprise.

Tomoyo started to walk out the door. She looked back over her shoulder to see if Sakura and Syaoran were following, but they were frozen in their tracks.

"Um, it is kinda late guys. Are we leaving?" Sakura and Syaoran jumped in unison as a result of what Tomoyo said. Tomoyo laughed at her two friends.

Wow! I actually updated! What's it been, about 9 months? Bad me, I should be punished. . . by finishing this story! I know, that's not really a punishment because it's fun, I've just been busy. Reviews welcome and all that, but the next chapter will definitely be the last. ^_~
