Chapter 12

Sakura rubbed her eyes to try and remove the sleep and tiredness she felt. She had to wake up a little early just to get here on time to make it to the bus. Actually it really wasn't that early only eight o'clock it's just that Sakura was used to sleeping in most of the time.

Touya had dropped Sakura off early.

*Flash Back*

"Sakura your late!" Touya yelled from the foot of the stairs.

Sakura was running around frantically looking for everything. Since she only managed to pack half of her things she had thought she would have the time to do it the next morning. Apparently not.

Touya tapped his finger frustrated that HE had to drive his kid sister to this camping trip. Sakura ran down the stairs out the door and into the car.

Fifteen minutes later....

"Finally we're here I hope I'm not late!" Sakura said and jumped out of the car. She froze in horror. Whirling around she looked at Touya with tears. "They left without me Touya!" she cried and cupped her hands over her face.

Touya bit his lip to keep from laughing. "Sakura I woke you up an hour early since your always late with everything. In fact..." glancing down at his watch to check the time "you're forty-five minutes early!" he said happily. Sakura looked up and glared. Clenching her fist she walked to him head high in the air ready to pounce on her annoying brother.

Too late though because Touya had already gone!

*End of Flash Back*

Sakura scowled. She hated how her brother had easily tricked her. She was shivering violently though. It was January (already!) and the cold air was hard to bear. "I didn't think it would be this cold!" she stuttered. She rubbed her hands together, jumped around, and did a little run in the spot. A cold gist of air swished by. Sakura stopped and shivered some more.

The weather wasn't the best for camping. Sakura sat down and waited for the bus. 'It's colder then when I had to capture the Freeze Card!' she thought. She drifted off into a cold yet peaceful sleep...

Eight hours later.....

"Saku WAKE UP we're HEREEEEEEE!!!!" Tomoyo screamed at the top of her lungs. Sakura jumped. Looking around she saw that she was on the bus with all the other children that had decided to go. "When did I get her?" Sakura asked.

Tomoyo chuckled. "Reo thought you were dead since you were like white when we found you on the ground." Sakura's eye's bulged. Tomoyo went on. "But then Li checked your pulse and said that you were alive. I think he was the only one who stayed calm during the incident. Anyways Reo carried you in the bus and here you are! It's cold outside isn't it?"

Sakura brought the mysterious blanket draped on her shoulders closer and nodded to her friend. "It's freezing! Like when we captured the Freeze card! You were frozen solid remember?" Tomoyo nodded too. "That was so scary. I drank about five hot chocolates when I got home and kept away from ice cubes in my drink that summer." she said thoughtfully.

Silence fell open the students suddenly and Sakura knew that the teacher was calling their attention.

"Good morning class isn't the weather beautiful today?" she asked sarcastically while pointing out the bus windows. Everyone groaned and shook especially Sakura. "Shush we are here now and I hope you have all brought your required items. I am going to separate you into groups of two's now. Whoever you are with you will share a tent with. And only TWO because out tents aren't that large."

"Let's start now!" and she began pairing everyone up. Sakura and Tomoyo crossed their fingers. They wanted to be paired with each other. Unfortunately Tomoyo was with Rika. And most unfortunately due to uneven genders Sakura was with Syaoran. Sakura cringed while Syaoran withdrew in his usual angry silence. You could tell they were not to thrilled with the idea.

After filing out of the bus and doing another "head count" to see if anyone was missing, the teacher ordered them to set up camp early since it may take the kids a while. Tomoyo gave a sad good bye before running off. Sakura faced Syaoran. She gulped. 'I definitely don't want to be in a tent with this guy. He's too angry all the time!' she thought sadly.

While setting up the tent Syaoran insisted on doing everything himself. "Show off!" Sakura muttered. Syaoran was used to Sakura's cruelty towards him. Though at their old school she never dared utter a word but now here she seemed to have much renewed confidence. "Fine then! You set it up!" he exclaimed dropping everything on the ground. Sakura nodded and began trying to put things back together.

She wasn't showing much progress. Sakura had no clue what went where and how it did and ended up with something that looked very odd. Syaoran sighed. And grabbed the stick from Sakura's hands. For a brief moment they touched which made Syaoran uncomfortable and Sakura red. Syaoran quickly got everything ready, his sleeping bag laid out and ran away to seek "further orders from the teacher."

Sakura slowly unrolled her sleeping bag too. It was now getting dark. The day had passed by really quickly and she was so hungry. She sniffed. Smoke. 'They must be setting up a camp fire!' Sakura said happily. She walked slowly towards the scent of smoke and sure enough there was a camp fire. Sitting on one of the logs she leaned in to feel the warmness the flame. It was so cold outside having an open flame was a relief to everyone as soon many were coming.

The teacher was the one keeping the flame burning throwing birch bark and newspapers or other things to keep it going. "We should have marshmallows!" Someone said out of the blue. Sakura laughed and gazed at the fire. Someone suddenly went and sat beside her.

"Are you ok?" they asked. Sakura nodded absent mindly. "You don't seem it. Why are you staring at the fire so much? You'll hurt your eyes with the light and dark contrast around us." Sakura confused looked beside her surprised. It in fact was not Reo but Syaoran. Sakura was way to tired to start getting all emotional now though.

"Happy, like nothing has ever happened..." she answered dreamily still staring at the flame. It was indeed night already, and stars here and there were blinking in. Syaoran stared at Sakura. He had never seen her so serious. He also though that she meant happy as if nothing ever happened like no one had ever picked on her. But to Sakura Kinomoto, it meant much much more.
