Let Me Help You
Ch 13 Help From a Neighbor
(Just for everyone to know that this is not going to be a Yukito/Sakura fanfic, it's supposed to be Syaoran/Sakura fanfic. I'm sorry for the long, long, long update. I'm just trying really hard to make this fanfic not as corny as it already sounds, since I'm the worst writer in the world.)
Sakura woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar bed then she remembered what happened the previous night. She didn't feel like getting up and stayed inside the comfortable bed. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door and Yukito came in with a tray of food in his hands.
"Hey, Sakura. I see you're awake. I brought you some breakfast." Yukito said.
"Thanks."
"What happened to you, anyway? The last time I saw you were when you moved out 'cause your dad got fired. How is Mr. Avalon?"
"He's alive and healthy I think."
"You think?"
"He disowned me."
"What? Why? What happened?"
"It's a long story."
"Well, I don't have work today and I don't have anything else to do. You can go ahead and tell me."
Sakura hesitated at first, but decided to tell him what happened, but left out what her biological father's name was. Yukito found everything very amazing and couldn't believe Mr. Avalon would do all the things that she said.
"But Sakura, I don't think you should be so mad at Tomoyo. I mean she only did that to help you. Don't you think your friendship is better than that? She's been there for you since you were really little and she might actually be able to help you find your real father. Don't you, yourself, want to know who he is?" Yukito said.
"Of course I do. But I told her before that I don't want Syaoran a part of this. He has nothing to do with this." Sakura said.
"He probably knows that already, but he wants to be your friend and help you. Let him help you. You don't really have anything to lose."
"Yes, I do. I might lose my dad."
"I think you already have."
What Yukito said made her think. She thought about it and he was right. In a way she did already lose him. Before her mom died he was kind and loving, but now he's cruel and mean like a different person. There's probably nothing she could do to change him back to the way he was.
"Well, it's a Friday morning and I assume that u have school today. How about I drive you to your school unless you don't feel good from yesterday?" Yukito said.
"No, I feel fine."
"Alright then. All your stuff is in the corner, so you can change your clothes or whatever and go to the kitchen when you're done." Yukito pointed at a corner in the room and then left to let Sakura change.
When Sakura was ready she went to the kitchen and found Yukito sitting down on the couch reading the newspaper.
"Is it okay if you drive me to school right now?" Sakura asked.
"Sure, let me just get my keys." Yukito placed the newspaper down on the coffee table and went to get the keys. The drive to school was quiet for Sakura didn't really want to say anything. Yukito could tell and didn't mind the silence. They arrived at the front of the school and Sakura got out of the car.
"Thanks a lot Yukito. Umm...Is it okay if I stay at your house for a couple of days or something? If you say no it's totally understandable." Sakura asked.
"It's alright. You can stay as long as you want. Just promise me that you'll be friends with Tomoyo again. She just wanted to help you." Yukito said.
"Okay, bye."
"Bye. I'll pick you up after school. What time does it end?"
"Two-thirty."
"Okay. I'll see you later then." Yukito said and drove away.
Sakura stood in front of the gates until she couldn't see Yukito's car anymore. She walked to her class and noticed a lot of people staring at her. Everyone probably heard about her accidentally kissing Syaoran. She thought back at what she did and she realized what a complete idiot she was. She didn't even know why she did it. She completely overreacted that time, besides from slapping Kim. Kim deserved that slap for talking shit about her mom, though. Sakura got to her class and sat down at her seat still having people staring at her.
Where Tomoyo was
"What's the matter, Tomoyo? You look so sad today," one of Tomoyo's friends, Julia, asked.
"Yeah, you seemed so bummed." also one of Tomoyo's friends, Rebecca, added.
"I'm fine. I'm just worried about Sakura." Tomoyo said.
"I don't get why you care so much about that Sakura girl. I mean she's the meanest girl in school and the only friend she has is you and she keep on making you worry about her. You're just too kind Tomoyo. You should follow my footsteps and just ignore her. She doesn't deserve your friendship." Julia said.
"You don't even know her. She's really not that mean. She just isolates herself a lot. She's really a good friend. What kind of friend would I be if I ignore her? I'll be worse than you say she is." Tomoyo said getting a little annoyed.
"So are you saying I'm not a good person?" Julia asked.
"I'm just saying that you should try to get to know a person before you judge them."
"Well, for your information I have said hello to her before and she ignored me, so I'm ignoring her."
"When have you ever said hello to her?"
"I...It was a long time ago. I forgot when it was. But I remember I said hi to her and she just ignored me completely."
"Right. I'm going to class." Tomoyo said pissed off and left.
Syaoran walked to his classroom and decided not to talk to Sakura for a while. He knew she had the right to be mad at him since he did get in contact with her biological father without her knowing it. He sat down behind her and saw her just staring out the window.
"So how much information did you gathered about my biological father?" Syaoran heard Sakura say. He was taken aback by her sudden willingness to talk to him and in a calm voice too.
"Umm... he said he'll be willing to meet with you and take a blood test to check if you are really his daughter." Syaoran said.
"When is that?"
"On May 24."
"Why is it that you're so interested in my life?"
"Well... I don't know. I just noticed how sad you were and I know it's not your fault for anything that has happened to you. I guess I just don't want to see you so unhappy and I thought that reuniting you with your biological father would make you happy. I've never seen anyone as unhappy as you and I want to see you smile like you did when you were young."
"So you pity me. That's strange. I always thought that I was ungrateful. I mean my life isn't that bad once I think about it. It's not like I'm really poor that I'm starving and homeless. I have a friend that cares about me a lot and I still have a father. Yet, I'm still so unhappy. Shouldn't I be glad that I have all these things?"
"You have the right to be sad. Not many people have such a hard life like you. Your father...or Nick abused you. He disowned you. He did all these things to you and that's not right."
"But don't you know that at least fifty million other people are going through the same thing as I am and maybe even worst? You don't see all those fifty million people moping around like I am. Why can't I be like them? Why can't I just be happy?"
"You can if you try. I can help you. I will help you find happiness. So go take the blood test and I have no doubt about it that you're his daughter. He'll let you into his family and you'll be happy."
"But what if he doesn't? What if he doesn't want me? Or what if he's even worse than Nick? That's what I'm afraid of."
"Well, you won't know unless you take the risk. Don't you want to know how your biological father really is? I would love to know who my father is if I had the chance. You have a chance to know who your father is and yet you don't want to take it. I just don't want you to regret it for the rest of your life."
Suddenly the bell rang for class to start and the teacher started to teach the class. Sakura faced the front of the room and looked at the teacher while Syaoran was wondering how she can stand not knowing whom her father is and he was amazed that they actually had a civilized conversation for once.
After class ended, everyone left and walked to their next classroom.
"Alright, I'll give it a chance. I'll go take the blood test and everything." Sakura said to Syaoran.
"Really? You are?" Syaoran said, shocked.
"Yeah. When you know where and what time tell me and I'll be there."
"Sure thing. You won't regret this Sakura. I promise you."
"I hope not."
Break
Sakura was walking around the school trying to find Tomoyo. She felt so stupid, always yelling at her just because she wanted to help. Sakura really want to make it up to her, now. Tomoyo is such a good friend and she keeps on taking it for granted. She realized what a bitch she could be towards her and yet she's still there for her.
When Sakura saw Tomoyo under the cherry tree where they usually hang out at, she walked towards her.
"Oh my God, Tomoyo, I'm so sorry for everything. I overreacted. You were just trying to help me. I swear I won't be like this ever again." Sakura said hugging Tomoyo as she got to her.
"It's okay Sakura. I should've told you about everything sooner." Tomoyo said.
"I should make it up to. How about we go to the mall together? We haven't done that for a long time."
"That'll be great! I can buy you all these accessories for the prom."
"Umm... Yeah, sure. So after school at around 3? Actually, Yukito is going to come pick me up after school maybe he could take us to the mall."
"Yukito? You mean your old next door neighbor, Yukito?"
"Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you. After I left your house, he saw me in the rain and took me to his house."
"Did he recognize you?"
"Of course he did. Why else would he take me to his house?"
"Well he's always been really nice. I wouldn't be surprised if he took in a person that he didn't even know. Or that's how I remembered him from the last time I saw him."
"Well, he did. I told him what happened... about everything. He's still the same old Yukito. Always understanding. He didn't change at all, only got taller.
"Wow. Talk about a small world. Yeah, okay after school around 3 we're going to the mall and no backing out. I'll meet you at the parking lot after school."
"Okay."
Where Syaoran was
"Hey, did you ask Sakura to the dance yet?" Douglas asked.
"Not yet." Syaoran replied.
"Do you want me to do it for you? You're taking way too long."
"What are you so eager about?"
"Hey, I just want to see if you got the flow to get her to go to the dance with you. Not a crime is it?"
"I don't know if I'm going to ask her now. She's been mad at me lately."
"Isn't she always mad at you?"
"Yeah, but she's mad at me for a different reason."
"What did you do? Tried to kiss her?"
"No. I'm not stupid. I just did something that pissed her off. That's all."
"Well, I saw Sakura talking to Tomoyo and she didn't seem angry. If you did the thing for her benefit and she knows that, I'm sure she'll understand. You say that she's actually pretty nice, so she won't be mad at you forever. Give it a try and ask her. I heard that she's really going since Tomoyo made her go. You have a chance, a big one at that. You're probably the only guy that she ever talked to and didn't whoop his ass. Don't miss out on something you have a chance on."
"Yeah, I guess. Thanks."
"Well, I'm just full of wisdom." Douglas said with a big smirk on his face as if he made a big accomplishment.
"Hahaha...and yet you have C's in your classes."
"Hey, I never said I was smart. I said I was wise. There's a difference."
"Hahaha...whatever. Whom are you going with anyways?"
"Oh I don't know. Someone. All you need to worry about is Sakura. I'll handle my stuff. If you want to know who it is then you better ask Sakura to the dance and make sure she goes with you."
"You're just full of mystery, aren't you?"
"Oh yeah."
Heath Class
"Today you will all continue filling out the questions about your orphan, so get with your partner and start working on it." Ms. Vong said.
While the teacher was saying that, Syaoran was wondering whether or not to ask Sakura to the dance now.
"Syaoran...Syaoran...Syaoran!"
"What?" Syaoran was so busy thinking he didn't notice Sakura was calling his name.
"You have the paper. Maybe you should take it out so we can start on it."
"Oh yeah." Syaoran took the paper out thinking of how stupid he must have looked just staring into space.
'I'll just ask her after school.' Syaoran thought.
After School
"Sakura! Hey, wait up." Syaoran said trying to catch up to Sakura.
Sakura stopped walking and turned around.
"Yeah?" Sakura said.
"You know how the prom is about a week from now." Syaoran said a little nervous.
"Yeah. So what?"
"Well, I don't know many girls here..."
Sakura raised her eyebrows in disbelief knowing that almost every girl had asked him to go to the prom with them. He just said that he didn't know many girls here and yet many girls know him.
"Don't give me that look, its true."
"Whatever. As you were saying?"
"Well, I was wondering if you would like to go to the prom with me. Who knows, maybe we'll have fun at the prom together."
There was a long pause until finally Sakura said, "I'll think about it."
"Cool. Take as long as you want. Let me know when you find out, alright?" Syaoran said as he walked away.
Sakura met up with Tomoyo at the parking lot.
"Hey, I saw you talking with Syaoran and I didn't hear screaming. What happened?" Tomoyo said.
"Umm... nothing much."
"Nothings much as in...? Something should have happened. When Syaoran talks to you something always happens."
"That's not true. Anyways, he only asked if I could go to the prom with him that's all."
"Only asked if you could go to the prom with him? What do you mean only? This is a big deal. What did you say? You better have said yes."
"Wow. Tomoyo, I never knew you were so nosy."
"Don't try changing the subject. What did you say?" Tomoyo said with a smirk.
"I said I'd think about it. It's not that big of a deal."
"Of course it is. This would be your first dance with a date and with Syaoran, too. I can just picture it now." Tomoyo said starry eyed.
"God, you make me sound so much like a loser." Sakura said pretending to be hurt.
"Of course you're not. You're just antisocial. That's all. Now I really have to buy a lot of things at the mall. This is great. Oh man, I'm so excited."
"You seem to be more eager than me. I didn't say I'd go with him. I said maybe."
"Of course you'll go. You have to go with him."
"Why do I have to go with him?"
"Because I said so."
"Oh, what a great reason."
Yukito's car drove up in front of them.
"Hey, Tomoyo. Is that you? Wow, you grew a lot." Yukito said as he saw Tomoyo.
"Yup. Hey, Yukito. Sakura told me what happened. You're still as kind as ever." Tomoyo said.
"I'm flattered. Do you need a ride, too?"
"Actually, I was wondering if you could take us to the mall. We have some catching up to do. Is that okay?" Sakura said.
"Yeah. That's fine. So I see you guys had made up. That's good. I have to go to the post office anyways. Hop in and I'll drop you off at the mall."
Sakura and Tomoyo got into his car and they drove off.
"Thanks a lot, Yukito. What brings you here anyways?" Tomoyo said.
"I had a promotion and I had to move to here. I've been here for a month now. This is a pretty nice place." Yukito replied.
"What do you work as?" Tomoyo asked.
"I do engineering. Nice pay, nice boss, good co-workers. So I'm happy in my life right now."
"Who's your boss?"
"This guy called Fujitaka Kinomoto. I'm a friend with his son, Touya. They're both pretty nice."
As Sakura and Tomoyo heard the name Fujitaka Kinomoto, they both looked at each other.
"Did you say Fujitaka Kinomoto?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah. Do you know him? He's pretty rich and has a nice family. I went to his house before to eat. His house is huge and they have good food there, too."
"I don't know him. I think I heard of his name, though." Sakura said.
"I see. Well, we're here at the mall. Do you want me to pick you up after you're done?"
"Actually, if Sakura doesn't mind. Maybe I could tell someone to come and pick us up and then we can drive to your house and get Sakura's stuff. She can stay with me since I have so many spare rooms at my house." Tomoyo said.
"Really, Tomoyo? You want me to stay at your house?" Sakura asked.
"Yup. Unless you don't want to, then I understand."
"Of course. Is that all right, Yukito? I don't have to bother you anymore." Sakura said.
"There's no bother, but if you want to stay at her house it's fine. Let me give you my address so you can come to my house when you guys are done." Yukito said as he took out a piece of paper and a pen. He wrote down his address and handed it to Tomoyo.
"I'll see you guys later then. Bye." Yukito said and left.

"Whatever. As you were saying?"
"Well, I was wondering if you would like to go to the prom with me. Who knows, maybe we'll have fun at the prom together."
There was a long pause until finally Sakura said, "I'll think about it."
"Cool. Take as long as you want. Let me know when you find out, alright?" Syaoran said as he walked away.
Sakura met up with Tomoyo at the parking lot.
"Hey, I saw you talking with Syaoran and I didn't hear screaming. What happened?" Tomoyo said.
"Umm... nothing much."
"Nothings much as in...? Something should have happened. When Syaoran talks to you something always happens."
"That's not true. Anyways, he only asked if I could go to the prom with him that's all."
"Only asked if you could go to the prom with him? What do you mean only? This is a big deal. What did you say? You better have said yes."
"Wow. Tomoyo, I never knew you were so nosy."
"Don't try changing the subject. What did you say?" Tomoyo said with a smirk.
"I said I'd think about it. It's not that big of a deal."
"Of course it is. This would be your first dance with a date and with Syaoran, too. I can just picture it now." Tomoyo said starry eyed.
"God, you make me sound so much like a loser." Sakura said pretending to be hurt.
"Of course you're not. You're just antisocial. That's all. Now I really have to buy a lot of things at the mall. This is great. Oh man, I'm so excited."
"You seem to be more eager than me. I didn't say I'd go with him. I said maybe."
"Of course you'll go. You have to go with him."
"Why do I have to go with him?"
"Because I said so."
"Oh, what a great reason."
Yukito's car drove up in front of them.
"Hey, Tomoyo. Is that you? Wow, you grew a lot." Yukito said as he saw Tomoyo.
"Yup. Hey, Yukito. Sakura told me what happened. You're still as kind as ever." Tomoyo said.
"I'm flattered. Do you need a ride, too?"
"Actually, I was wondering if you could take us to the mall. We have some catching up to do. Is that okay?" Sakura said.
"Yeah. That's fine. So I see you guys had made up. That's good. I have to go to the post office anyways. Hop in and I'll drop you off at the mall."
Sakura and Tomoyo got into his car and they drove off.
"Thanks a lot, Yukito. What brings you here anyways?" Tomoyo said.
"I had a promotion and I had to move to here. I've been here for a month now. This is a pretty nice place." Yukito replied.
"What do you work as?" Tomoyo asked.
"I do engineering. Nice pay, nice boss, good co-workers. So I'm happy in my life right now."
"Who's your boss?"
"This guy called Fujitaka Kinomoto. I'm a friend with his son, Touya. They're both pretty nice."
As Sakura and Tomoyo heard the name Fujitaka Kinomoto, they both looked at each other.
"Did you say Fujitaka Kinomoto?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah. Do you know him? He's pretty rich and has a nice family. I went to his house before to eat. His house is huge and they have good food there, too."
"I don't know him. I think I heard of his name, though." Sakura said.
"I see. Well, we're here at the mall. Do you want me to pick you up after you're done?"
"Actually, if Sakura doesn't mind. Maybe I could tell someone to come and pick us up and then we can drive to your house and get Sakura's stuff. She can stay with me since I have so many spare rooms at my house." Tomoyo said.
"Really, Tomoyo? You want me to stay at your house?" Sakura asked.
"Yup. Unless you don't want to, then I understand."
"Of course. Is that all right, Yukito? I don't have to bother you anymore." Sakura said.
"There's no bother, but if you want to stay at her house it's fine. Let me give you my address so you can come to my house when you guys are done." Yukito said as he took out a piece of paper and a pen. He wrote down his address and handed it to Tomoyo.
"I'll see you guys later then. Bye." Yukito said and left.
