Last scene:
"And Sakura," Tomoyo leaned over and held Sakura's shoulders, "if you don't feel like working there any more, just tell me, I can find you a position in Eriol's company, you can chose whatever you want. How does that sounds?"
"Ee!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 10

"Sakura?"
"Hai!" Sakura looked up from her draft paper, "Mr. Taukishiro?"
"Are you uh, busy right now?" Yukito asked, avoiding looking at her eyes.
"No, not really." Sakura stood up and answered, "is there something I can do for you?"
"Oh yeah, I was wondering if you can uh, go down stairs and pick up a package for me. It's at the main office." Yukito gave Sakura a weird smile.
"Sure!" Sakura bowed and left the office for the elevator.
"Aa, Sakura..." Yukito started, but Sakura was already out of sight, he sighed, shooking his head, 'she didn't understand what I meant...'
Since she stepped out from the elevator, her bad luck started. Without any reasons, everyone started to make a fool of her. She doesn't even knew them, but they were all acting like Syaoran, hugging her all of a sudden and pulling her hair the next second.
Finally, she found the package Yukito wanted and fled back into the elevator and sighed with relieve. But it seemed she laughed to early...
She was forced to switched to the stairs half way up.
Ah!
AHHHH!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
All afternoon, people helped each other, trying to trick her every where. Without noticing, a guy's face started flashing in her head, she actually kind missed Syaoran, for even he had never been so mean to her like everyone else!
After a long run from Yukito's office to her office, she finally calmed down, 'finally... back in one piece...' she panted. It was lucky that her friends in the office weren't mean to her like the others.
She looked at her friends Rika and Chiharu, they were chatting with few other workers there. They were talking about jokes...
Sakura went over to them...
'I hate them!' Sakura darted into the storage room and locked the door from inside. She finally broke down and started crying.
At the beginning, they were talking about this really fun joke. But then, the second half of their story turned out to be a scary story. She got scared.
'They are crazy...' She won't have cried if it was only the story, but the story was told from her ONLY friends in the whole building! And they were trying to make fun of her too! This is definitely her last day here.
It's so strange today, all the others, who used to be so nice to her, started to tease her and all, but then, the badboy Syaoran disappeared all of a sudden...
The lock on the storage room clicked and the door was pushed open.
Seeing this, Sakura shrieked, covering her ears with her hands and closed her eyes, "shut up! shut up I don't want to listen no more! leave me alone!"
"Eh?" The guy stunned for a second, then he closed the door behind him and went to Sakura, he touched her hands lightly, "what's wrong?"
"Don't touch me!"
"Sakura, why are you crying?" Syaoran heard a scream in her office, so he came as fast as he could, and saw Sakura dashed out form the office.
Sakura heard that familiar voice, she looked up with her big watery eyes, "Syaoran... Syaoran!" she hugged him tightly, burying her face in the nape of his neck, "they... they... they kept teasing me..."
"Oh?" Syaoran was surprised that she actually hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her shivering body happily, "it's ok now..."
This familiar hug and breathe was once very disliked by her, but somehow, it now made her feel safe.
Syaoran tried to wipe away her tears, but they just kept rolling down restlessly. So he lowered down his face and kissed them away.
Sakura opened her eyes, 'he kissed me again...' though it was only her face, but was enough to make her face turn into a red apple, "I was... scared..." she said shakely.
"I think it was only because today is April Fool's Day." Syaoran gave her a smile.
"Is it?" Sakura looked up at him, 'oh yeah... it is indeed...' she thought.
"I will make sure it stops by the time you come tomorrow." Syaoran promised, "but then, if you are really scared, why are you still here? it's so late already..."
Sakura looked around at all the toys, she never paid too much attentions to them, but now that she did, they looked pretty terrible in the darkness, all staring at her with those fake, blind-looking eyes, 'I'll never come here again!!!'
Seeing that Sakura was scared by the toys now, Syaoran lift her up in his arms, "let's go home." he said, sealing a kiss on her forehead.
