Chapter 12

"talking"

'thinking'

*~*flashbacks*~*

"i'll be right there!" Sakura yelled to the closed door, the bell was ringing and

she was running around the house looking for a shoe. 'Sheen's here early'

she thought as she gathered her belongings and headed to the door, Shang

trailing her, "i guess you'll have to come with us till your dad comes Shang,

you think you can be a very good boy and do that for me?" Shang nodded his

head as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"Hey Sheen, you mind if Shang comes wih us, his daddy isn't here...." Sakura

turned pale when she found out that she wasn't talking to Sheen but to a very

handsome Li Syaoran. wearing the normal baggy khaki pants and silk shirt,

that gave his chest the broad but sexual look, his messy hair the same as

always and a spray of purfume finished the touch. "oh my" Sakura gasp, 'did

he ever looked this good?' "Li, your early" she mumbled backing away from

the door, "yeah thought i might pick up sport here before you go on your

date" Syaoran said, picking up his boy, and putting him over his shoulder.

"ready kido?" Syaoran said smiling to Sheen. "Hai pa-pa!" Sheen giggled

happily. Sakura looked up at Shang, he was a lovely boy, happy but sad in a

way, he had the same looks his dad had, but his personality wasn't exactly

like Syaoran's. "Pa-pa are we going? or are you staying for tea?" mumbled

an annoyed Ryoko, "Tea sounds great" said Syaoran to Ryoko "you don't

mind do you Sakura?" he asked.

"no! not at all, come in please." she sad, quickly running into the kitchen to

set the plates and cups out. "i don't mind a bit of tea myself, "spoke a voice,

all four of them turned to find a happily smiling Sheen at the door, in nearly

the same clothes as Syaoran's but instead of Khaki green pants he wore

black and a silver silk shirt.

Syaoran turned his eyes towards Sakura without really moving his head and

to his saddness saw Sakura's eyes warmed up, the brightness of her green

eyes shone like the stars, Syaoran looked at the toes of his shoe, if Sakura

falls for Sheen, Syaoran was running the risk of losing her 'how can you lose

what you don't have in the first place Li?' a little voice inside hsi head mocked

him, Syaoran glared hard at the floor, he should have punched Sheen when

he'd had the chance. His done everything in his life, the ups and downs where

nothing compared to this, Syaoran's been through tough times but not matter

what he does he can never deal with Sakura like before, 'she's changed so

much' Dealing with Sakura was so difficult he flet like a cat in a ball of yarn.

the harder her tried to untangle himself, the woarse things became. Syaoran

looked up when he felt a tung at his sleeve. "pa-pa, what are you waithing

for? an invite? lets go have something to eat!" Ryoko said, pulling Syaoran

slowly into the room, "hai, hai i'm coming!" Syaoran said chuckling as he got

pulled away.

"Thanks so much for dinner Sheen it was great! i had a lovely night," Sakura

said smilling slightly, Sheen nodded his head and belt down for a kiss,

Sakura, turned her head slightly so he kissed her cheek, "sorry, it's my rule

not to kiss someone till the third date, you understand don't you?" "yes sorry

i totally undersand." Sheen said, then lifting up her hand he kissed it gently

and with that walked out of the gate and into the dark.

not known to Sakura or Sheen, a little blinking red light shone behide the

trees, "What are we doing here?" a voice mumbled, "i thought this was

supposed to be Tomoyo's job to type Sakura and co. not you Mei Mei" Buddy

hissed, his blonde head popped out from the brushes, "she told me to tape

Kura while she and lover boy go on there date, it's been 6 years since those

two's been out together you know." "yeah i know but we had a date too you

know and instead of you giving it to Meng and Andy, which let me remind

you, don't have any thing planned today, you cancel our date and drag me to

come with you to spy on my best friend and ex- girlfriend!" Buddy gumbled

"aw! come on sweetly, just pretend this is our date okay? i promise tomorrow

we'll go and have dinner okay?" Meiling said, kissing his on the lips quicky

"but now we tape okay?" "okay fine" Buddy said giving in to Meiling.

Not long after, the door to the Kinomoto residence opened and out came

Sakura, carrying her bag, "she must be off to the shops to buy something"

whispered Buddy, "are we gonna follow her?" i don't know...something

doesn't feel right" Meiling whispered back, whenever something is wrong

Meiling gets pains in her chest, "i think somethings up." Buddy looked worried,

"what's up Mei?" he hissed "shh..." Meilin whispered back, then her eyes widen in shock

when she saw a shadowly figure approach the house "What the...?" the figure ran behide a tree

when it saw Sakura walking back towards the front door, both Meilin and Buddy saw the figure

move towards her holding a stick shaped almost like a gun, there was a yell, a gun shoot was heard and screaming.....then there was silence...

TBC!!
