RING! The phone rang.
" Syaoran, would you mind picking up the phone for me? I'm cooking!" Sakura shouted from the kitchen. An understood voice answered. Before Sakura could peacefully continue cooking, the voice shouted.
" Sakura, it's your call!"
" Who is it?" Sakura asked, switching off the fire.
" It's Daidouji chan!" Sakura immediately put down everything she was holding and walked briskly to phone as she takes off her apron.
" Moshi, moshi." She answered.
* Sakura chan? Am I bothering you? You seemed to be busy. If that's so then I'll just...*
" No!" Sakura cried to phone and shook her head. " You're not! I'm fine here. So, what's up?"
* I've something private to talk about. *
" PRIVATE, you say." Sakura replied and stared at the guy who was trying to listen to their conversation. Syaoran panicked. Sakura pointed to the kitchen and gave him a signal to cook. Syaoran sighed and walked to the kitchen. Sakura walked towards the balcony. " Okay, the coast is clear." She told Tomoyo. " So, what's up?"
~*~
" Ne, Sakura chan, I don't know what happened but... I feel so lonely all of a sudden." Tomoyo replied. She was lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling and talking to Sakura at the same time. " I feel empty."
* It's normal to feel lonely and empty. * Sakura replied. * Everyone will feel lonely and empty when they're alone. *
Tomoyo shook her head. " No, it feels different. As you know, people usually despises me and I'm usually left alone. But I feel glad to be alone. As for now, I don't know why. I THINK I feel lonely and empty."
* Eh? * The voice replied. * Then you're probably craving for something you missed. *
" Craving for something I missed?" Tomoyo repeated. " But what? I don't want to be hated by others again. I don't think I'll miss it."
* No! Of course not! I'm not talking about that! *
" Then, what?" Tomoyo asked curiously. She was anxious to know the answer.
* Your mum died since last year. And ever since, you said you never felt love. You're probably craving for love. *
" Eh?" Tomoyo was shocked by Sakura's answer and blushed. " Love?" She asked.
* Sou, it's love! * Sakura replied.
" But I'm only fifteen! I don't think I'm ready for this..."
* Hello? Syaoran and I started dating when we were twelve. TWELVE and I started dating like most girls did! And you're already fifteen! * Sakura cried.
" I guess so... But I'm not sure if I can take this."
* Of course you can! * Sakura cried on the phone. * I'm sure you can do it! Just don't worry, everything's gonna be fine. *
" Ha... Hai."
~*~
" If there's nothing more, bye then." Said Sakura, staring out at the balcony at the sky.
* Bye. *
With that, they end their conversation. Sakura press the off button on the phone and got a surprise from behind. Her eyes opened wide and turn her head slightly to look behind. She smiled.
" Why did she call you for?" Asked Syaoran, who is hugging onto her waist tightly.
" She has got some problems that you guys will not be interested in." Sakura replied with a smile. The couple stood on the balcony, enjoying the sensation between them. They stare at the sky of stars romantically.
" The super's ready." Said Syaoran as he releases the hug. He bowed gracefully to Sakura and took her hand. " My princess."
Sakura smiled. She liked it whenever Syaoran calls her princess. How she loved him.
Just before they could reach the dining table...
" What the hell are you trying to do to me sister, you little brat?!"

A week has passed and their holiday was over. Today, the Tomoeda High's dance group is back in school. They'd just got the news from the school's principle that the dance troupe will be performing a musical dance on the School's Anniversary.
They are performing in front of the whole school and the title of their musical is 'Every Thousand Years'. It's a tragic love story between a pair of couple. The female lead was a princess, Mirai hime, which fell in love with a lame beggar, Shinta.
Of course, the leads are Tomoyo and Eriol. This time round, Deborah asked to back out from the play and stand-by for Tomoyo. Eriol sulked. She might be having something in her mind that's going to screw up the play.
" This year would be the last year I teach," Mdm Shakers announced. " And I hope everyone would cooperate."
The class nodded their heads in unison.
" All right," Said Kaho and clapped her hands. " Everyone, read your scripts and get ready for practice in 30 minutes time!" With that, she ended the meeting and everyone went to their own place to study the script.
" Tomoyo!" Eriol cried. Tomoyo turned to look at him and found him signaling her to go to him.
Tomoyo walked towards him and moved closer and Eriol whispered in her ears. " Don't you think there something wrong about Deborah?" He asked.
Tomoyo look at him in confusion for a moment and shook her head.
Eriol slammed his palm to his head, hard. Then, he whispered to Tomoyo's ear again. " As you know, Deborah always wanted to get the lead role. But this time, she volunteered to be a back up for you. Don't you think it's weird?" He asked.
Tomoyo frowned. Then, she turned around and called out, " Deborah san!"
" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!" Eriol cried.
" Quiet!" Tomoyo said coolly to Eriol. " Deborah san," She cried again.
" Na... Nani?" She asked irritably yet shyly at the same time.
" Why did you volunteer to be my back up...!" Tomoyo finished her sentence as she felt someone pulling her.
Eriol had pulled her to him and covered Tomoyo's mouth with his hand.
" There... There is something wrong with her." Said Eriol awkwardly with a weird laugh. " Don't..."
" Cos' I owe you one." Deborah said, turning her head slightly to peep at Tomoyo.
Eriol released his hand as he heard the answer. Both Tomoyo and he stare at her.
" I don't like to owe people any favour." She said and turned to walk away. " Ganbatte." She said softly in a shy tone.
Tomoyo was surprised at first. But her surprised expression broke into a smile. Eriol stare at Deborah unbelievably. " I can't believe this is happening." He muttered to himself.
" Arigatou, Deborah san." Tomoyo whispered.
~*~
" Watashi wa..." Eriol said while looking into Tomoyo's eyes. Tomoyo look into his eyes with a smile with a look of wonders in her mind. " Mirai hime ga... daisuki!"
Tomoyo look at him in utter happiness and grief at the same time.
" Dame!" She cried. " Dame, dame!" She cried and covered Eriol's mouth. " Shinta, dame! You shan't let anyone hear this! If not, they'll have you executed!"
Eriol took away her hands from his mouth. " Does that means that a lame beggar cannot fall in love with a princess?" He asked. Tomoyo look away in grief. " The king is certainly unfair!" He cried out loud. Tomoyo look at him in fear. " Not only is he unfair! The God, and my life, they are both unfair!" He cried, tears brimming in his eyes.
Then, he looked at his legs and starts beating it. " Why must I be lame?" He cried. "WHY?!" He cried. Tomoyo's tears poured out as she ran to Eriol and tried to stop Eriol.
Eriol stopped and looked into her eyes. " Why are you stopping me?" He asked.
" I...!" For a moment, Tomoyo was lost for words. She didn't know how to reply.
" Cos' you love me, don't you?" Eriol asked, smiling at Tomoyo.
Tomoyo turned and stare at him. Then looked away. " I... I don't." She replied guiltily.
" You're bad at lying." Eriol said in a caring tone, smiling at her.
" I'm not lying."
" Yes, you are."
Tomoyo's tears gushed out from her eyes as she flung towards Eriol.
Then, with her melodious voice, she sang.
" It's not that I don't love you, It's just that I'm not meant for you. I want to be with you, forever, But I just can't, Cos' we aren't meant for each other."
She sang and danced in grief. From behind, some other dancers appeared and danced.
Eriol swing his body and sang.
" I know that you can't be with me, I know that you are forced. I want you to know, forever, You shall remember, That I'll love you forever and ever..."
Tomoyo danced towards Eriol and Eriol took her hands.
" As long that we are in one mind, I don't mind being threatened to death. We'll see the sun rise tomorrow, In the beautiful dawn, As we walk together till the sun sets..."
They finished singing together and held each other in the arms.
" CUT!" Mdm Shakers called. Tomoyo and Eriol released the hug and sighed in relief. At last, break time, though Eriol wouldn't mind her staying in his arms. " Well done!" Mdm Shakers said and applauded. So did Deborah, but with a slight smile. Eriol and Tomoyo spotted tears in their eyes.
" I must say you two have improved quite a lot!" She praised. She rubbed her eyes with her hands, stopping herself from crying. " Just the first try for the first part and you did it! Great job! Let's continue the rehearsal next week! Class, dismissed!"
The ballerinas cheered for freedom and walked away in exhaustion.
Deborah walked silently through beside Tomoyo and whispered, " You're great." And ran off quietly.
Tomoyo smiled happily though she was really tired. She walked towards Eriol but fell down before reaching her.
" Tomoyo!" Eriol cried, struggling towards Tomoyo. His legs were both numbed, due to not moving his legs much when acting as a lame person. " Daijoubu?" He asked worriedly.
Tomoyo forced a smile. " Dai... Daijoubu... Itai!" She cried, squeezing her arms.
" What's painful?" Eriol asked.
" Leg... Leg... pain..." Tomoyo cried with all her strength.
" Tomoyo!" Eriol cried worriedly and carried her in his arms, forgetting about his numbed legs. " I'll bring you to the hospital, hang on there!" He cried and run out of the place with all might.
~*~
" How is she, sensei?" Eriol asked. Eriol had brought Tomoyo to the hospital and the doctor had just came out from the room.
The doctor smiled at him as a familiar figure walked out of the room. It was Tomoyo, limping. " Don't worry, she'll be all right. She just had a bad leg-cramp."
" Yogata..." Eriol sighed in relief and helped Tomoyo. " I'll walk you home." He said kindly to her.
Tomoyo said nothing except nodding her head with a smile.
The doctor giggled. " You have a really caring boyfriend." She commented.
The two friends turned red. " WE ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK WE ARE!" They shouted.
" Shh! This is a hospital!" A pass-by nurse warned them.
" Go... Gomen..." The two friends replied in embarrassment as the doctor continued giggling at the two friends.
Their eyes met and they both blushed and looked away.
Cute, aren't they?
