You guys are so much. I've been added to more favorites and if you cannot see me, I'm jumping around in joy. And I just need ONE more review to reach ONE HUNDRED! Woo hoo! I can't believe this fic is reaching 100 on its fifth chappie! Just for that... early Halloween celebration of Chappie Five!!!! And thanks EAD TAES for your long review!
Sweet~Sakura I appreciate it that I am considered a 'pro'. If you need advice with your plot, just e-mail me at FFVIIElenaTurk@aol.com or FinalFantasyPrincess@yahoo.com or FinalFantasyPrincess@hotmail.com or Final_Fantasy_Princess@juno.com I check those emails everyday. (^^;; I know I have a lot of email addresses but that's because I get too much mail. So I think four accounts is enough... Not to mention my Friends Only Email address, which you all don't have, sorry can't give that out too.)
Now as you people know now, you will all kill me. Hee Hee. But don't think about it until I'm done with the fic. Starrie stop hitting me with your beach ball! It isn't a good job Mei-chan! When I visit you Sheyla I'll hit you with my hammer! (Even though Andrew broke it on Brian's head...) And I couldn't think of another last name. I'm sure Faith and Starrie will forgive us. ^^;;;; -rubs her neck- No strangling allowed to the author! Or else... I will make Syaoran kiss Lily in the next chapter! Mwahahahahaha!
At the end, I will be explaining a new plot for another fic. Though you people will kill me there too. -Sigh- I don't win either way, don't I?

Chapter Five
The Loss
Syaoran walked down the stairs of his apartment. He couldn't think straight. First of all, he met one great girl, Sakura, who was friendly, sweet, pretty cute he must admit, and understanding. In the beginning he thought he was falling for her. But then here comes Lily, who is nice, pretty friendly, really sweet, cute, straightforward, spoke her mind, and was somewhat understanding.
He got along with Sakura perfectly. They even played around and several people mistaken them to be a couple. As for Lily, he didn't know exactly what happened. In the beginning he thought she was just like Song Min. But she corrected him. She was outgoing and spoke her mind. But...Was he brainwashed or was she really telling the truth?
- Flash Back-
"Fine you may call me Syaoran-san."
"Arigato Syaoran. You may call me Lily-san."
"Okay."
There was an uncomfortable silence in the air. Lily stepped in front of Syaoran.
"Syaoran I'm not the kind of person you think I am. I'm sorry but I don't respect the fact that you judged me so easily."
Syaoran stared blankly at her. 'Just how does she know how I rated her?' He thought.
"Syaoran I am just the same as Kinomoto-san. Really I am. It's just that you don't realize that because you already have an 'idea' of me. I hope you truly understand." Lily said with tears in her eyes.
"Hai I understand. Gomen nasai for rating you so quickly."
Lily smiled. "I knew you would. May you give me a tour then Syaoran-san?"
"Hai. I guess it'll be fair."
"Then we'll finally get to know each other."
"Hai."
-Flash Back Ended-
Syaoran shook his head. Though she spoke her mind, he didn't like her pushiness. But what made him like her so much? Syaoran sighed. 'Maybe I'm not completely over Song Min.' He thought to himself.
Syaoran walked out of his door and noticed Sakura's solemn expression. He went out of his thinking mode.
"Sakura-chan, are you okay?"
Sakura looked up, noticing Syaoran's concerned expression.
"Hai."
"What ever is the matter with the sweet princess?"
"Iie. It's nothing Prince Syaoran."
"I don't believe you. Princess, tell me what is wrong?"
Sakura shook her head. "Nothing. Let's go?"
Syaoran shook his head, mimicking Sakura. "Iie. Not until you tell me Sakura-chan. I thought best friends don't keep secrets."
Sakura smiled faintly. "Persistent little prince."
"One of my best qualities."
Sakura giggled softly. "I guess so. Really Syaoran-kun, it's nothing. Come on let's go." She said as she grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the roller rink.
"Ahh the princess is controlling."
"Am not!"
"Are too! Look at this. You are PULLING the prince against his own will."
Sakura stopped and giggled. "So I am. That's because the arrogant prince wouldn't move."
"Ouch princess. That was a bit harsh."
Sakura smirked. "The truth hurts, doesn't it?"
"It's not the truth."
"Aww the prince is sensitive."
"Am not!"
"Are too."
Syaoran pouted. Sakura smiled softly. "Come on Syaoran. Before it gets dark."
"Fine but on the way, you better tell me what's wrong."
"I told you nothing." She said in a singsong voice.
Syaoran sighed. "Fine. But remember if you keep too many things bottled inside yourself, it will explode and destroy you."
"I'll keep that in mind."
* * * *
Tomoyo sighed as she swung slowly on the swing.
"Angels shouldn't be depressed."
Tomoyo smiled slightly. "And gentlemen shouldn't be stalking."
Eriol chuckled. "It's just that you seemed so sad after Syaoran left."
"I told you..."
"I know Sakura is beginning to like him. And it hurts me too, you know. Sakura is like my sister and I always wanted the best for her."
Tomoyo looked up into Eriol's azure eyes and nodded.
"Demo... Syaoran seemed so perfect for her."
"Tomoyo my love, maybe he is. Time will tell."
"Meiling wouldn't support your theory."
"Ah you are referring to her go and stop the evil bitch way."
Tomoyo giggled. "Hai."
Eriol shook his head. "Well she isn't here..."
"That's what makes me depressed."
Eriol slipped his arms around her waist as he seated himself next to Tomoyo on the swing.
"Don't worry. We'll try our best to be like Meiling."
"Yes but without the evil and mean confrontations."
"Hai...we're too... nice."
Tomoyo giggled. "I know."
* * * *
"Pick up!"
"No answer?"
"I don't understand. They should be in their homes by the phone expecting my call!"
"Meiling... people have lives."
"Not without me!"
Ryu sighed and then chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
"You."
"Why is that, may I ask?"
"You are calling their homes, when they have cell phones."
Meiling sweat-dropped and chuckled. "Oops?"
"That is my Meiling-chan, ladies and gentlemen."
"That's it!"
"Nani?"
Meiling picked up a pillow and thrusted it at Ryu.
"Owww! Oh you want to play like that?"
"That's what you deser... OWW!"
"Hehehehehe."
"Ryu!"
"Meiling!"
They both started laughing hysterically.
* * * *
"Not too bad Sakura."
"Arigato. You aren't so bad yourself."
Sakura smiled as Syaoran held her hand as they practiced another move. Many people stared at them in amazement and others thought they were so cute together.
"Tired, sweet princess?"
"Hai... just a bit."
"Okay let's take a break."
"Arigato Syaoran-kun."
Syaoran led Sakura to the booth nearby.
"Rest."
"Got it Prince."
Syaoran chuckled shaking his head. Sakura smiled. She really enjoyed spending time with Syaoran. She hated to admit it, but she was beginning to like him more than a friend. She loved his eyes, his smile, and the way he acted around her. No guy treated her as his equal, except for Eriol and Ryu.
"I'll get some drinks. Okay?"
"Okay."
Sakura watched Syaoran's retreating form. 'Nope never met a guy quite like him.'
"Hey sexy!"
Sakura growled. 'Why won't these guys leave me alone?' She thought frustrated.
"You look so good today." A guy with dark blond hair and green eyes said.
"Yeah you should hang out with us sometime." A guy with red hair and brown eyes said.
"We'll treat you real nice." A guy with silver hair and dark gray eyes said as he traced Sakura's shoulder. Sakura shuddered.
"Leave me alone. Don't you understand that I don't like any of you?"
"Sweet thing, you don't mean that." The guy with silver hair said as he traced Sakura's arm.
"Leave her alone."
Sakura smiled as she looked up into the angry and stern eyes of Syaoran.
"Mind your business."
"You are bothering my best friend."
"Forgive us. Now beat it."
"No."
"Tough guy, eh?"
"Yo, Phillip I know this kid." The guy with red hair said.
"So what. He's messing with us." The guy with silver hair, whose name is Phillip, said.
"No you don't get it. He's the 'leader' of the..."
"Simon I said shut up." Phillip said angrily.
The guy with red hair closed his mouth. The blond one understood what Simon was saying.
"Oh. No Philli you don't get it man. Remember the Li's?"
"Ivan I sai- Oh. That's...?"
"Hai."
"Let's go."
All three turned and left. Phillip turned and blew a kiss to Sakura.
Sakura shuddered once again. Syaoran placed his arms around Sakura and hugged her.
"If I knew idiots would bother you when I was away, I would've stayed."
Sakura blushed faintly and smiled. "Arigato demo... you wouldn't have known."
"I know. Still... I don't like those guys."
"How come they backed off when they said your last name?"
Syaoran sighed. "I guess I held it long enough."
"Nani?"
"Well I'm..."
"Ohayo!"
Sakura grunted inwardly as she looked up to the sweet smile of Lily.
"Ohayo Lei-san." Sakura said without emotion.
Lily smiled. "Ohayo Syaoran-san." She said cheerfully. "Kinomoto-san." She said lacking emotion as well.
"Hey Lily-san. What brings you here?" He asked as he pulled away from his embrace on Sakura.
Sakura looked down to the floor and frowned. 'I guess I'm the third wheel now.' She thought as she noticed the fluent conversation Lily had with Syaoran.
"I can stay? Arigato!" Lily said as she hugged Syaoran. Syaoran chuckled and hugged her back.
Sakura felt her eyes begin to water. She turned away as she began to shiver in fury. Quietly she got up and skated away.
She skated as quickly as possible until she reached her house. Sakura speedily took off her skates and raced upstairs. As she arrived into her room, she locked the door and began to weep on her bed.
* * * *
"What happened to Sakura-chan?" Syaoran asked as he released Lily.
"Silly you didn't hear? She said she had to go."
"Oh... I didn't get to say good bye."
"It's all right. I'm sure she understands." Lily said smiling brightly.
"Well do you want to skate?" Syaoran asked.
"Sure! But may I hold your hand? I can't skate very well."
"No problem. I'll teach you." Syaoran said as he led her towards the rink.
Lily smiled. "Thank you."
Syaoran smiled back.
(A/N: I bet you all are dying to kill me! But no one knows where I live except that I'm in New York! Bwahahahaha! Wait... Starrie does. Damn it! Don't hit me!)
* * * *
Sakura sat up and wiped her tears on her sleeve.
"Why am I crying?" She asked herself out loud. She heard her cat, Kero, purring off in the corner of her room.
"I'm so stupid. I'm such a baka." She said as she as she got up. Her clock, which was on her dresser, rang five times, indicating the current hour.
"Five o'clock. Thank God otou-san and onii-chan weren't home." She said as she unlocked her bedroom door. Just as she reached the bottom of the stairs, her phone rang. Sakura raced to get it but didn't fail to trip over her blades.
"Moshi Moshi?" Sakura said without breath.
"Sakura-chan! Finally someone home!"
"Meiling! How is America?"
"Forget about that. What's happening in Tomoeda since the one and only Meiling Raye has left?"
Sakura giggled, forgetting about her distress. "It's been dull without you Meiling."
* * * *
Dark brown eyes narrowed into slits.
"Who the hell is she?"
"Don't know."
"Never saw her before."
"You two are useless! Move!!"
Jasmine and Xiomara cleared the way as Song Min briskly skated into the rink.
"Ohayo." Song Min said.
Lily smiled sweetly as Syaoran grunted.
"Ohayo. My name is Lily Lei."
"Never saw you around here before. Recently moved here?"
"Hai."
"Oh. Well Syaoran-kun is mine. Just letting you know."
With that, she briskly skated away.
Lily turned to Syaoran.
"You have a girlfriend?" She questioned.
"Iie. That's my ex. She's pretty pushy."
"Oh." She said before smiling sweetly to Syaoran.
* * * *
"Really? I'd never expect someone would transfer during the summer."
"I know." Sakura said sadly.
"Sakura is something wrong?"
"Iie! Nothing!"
"Sakura-chan..." Meiling warned.
Ding Dong. Sakura's doorbell was heard throughout her house. Sakura smiled.
"Someone's at my door. Hold on Meiling-chan."
"Matte! Sakura!"
Sakura giggled as she ran up to her door.
"Hey."
"Hi Tomoyo! Meiling's on the phone!"
"Honto ne?"
"Yeah!"
The girls raced back to the phone.
"Meiling!"
"Tomoyo!"
The girls giggled endlessly.
* * * *
"I had a fun time." Lily said shyly.
"Me too. Well I have to go." Syaoran said.
"Matte!"
"Nani?"
"Ano...you want to go out tomorrow?"
"Where?"
"Umm...maybe to the restaurant that just opened."
"...I guess."
"Wai!!! Arigato Syaoran-kun!"
"It's nothing." Syaoran said, ignoring the fact she called him 'Syaoran- kun'.
* * * *
"Talk to us soon Meiling!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Don't have too much fun without us." Sakura said.
"Hai. Hai. All that goes the same to you."
"Hai!" Sakura and Tomoyo said at the same time, giggling.
"Ja!"
Meiling smiled as she hung up the phone.
"Didn't let me talk. Meanie."
Meiling blinked and then her eyes widened.
"Gomen nasai Ryu! I completely..."
"Forgot about me." Ryu finished.
Meiling nodded numbly.
"Well you also forgot to ask what was wrong with Sakura."
"Wha...?"
"When she mentioned the transfer student."
Meiling clasped her hand over her mouth. "Damn!"
"Meiling your feeling..."
"I know... demo... Sakura-chan still seemed genki so I wouldn't worry."
"For now."
"What kind of support is that?"
"Good support."
"Ryu..."
Ryu chuckled.
* * * *
"Eriol!"
Eriol sighed.
"Hai obaa-san?"
"Look at Suppi-chan!"
Eriol chuckled. His poor cat must be suffering again under his hyper aunt's hands.
"Coming."
As he headed downstairs, he saw his aunt Nakuru hopping in glee.
"Suppi-chan you look so kawaii!!!!"
Eriol started laughing seeing his cat, Spinel-Sun, dressed up as a flower. He could tell that his cat was frowning.
"Obaa-san, Spinel doesn't seem to like the costume."
"Yes he does. If he could speak, he would say he'd love it. And don't call me 'obaa-san' just Nakuru. I don't like feeling old." She said pouting.
"Hai. Hai. Just release Spinel from his imprisonment."
"Fine..."
* * * *
"Welcome home Master Li."
"Hi Wei."
"How was your day with Miss Sakura?"
"She left early so I stayed with Lily."
"Oh."
"Wei?"
"Hai Master Syaoran?"
"I'm confused."
"About what?"
"Sakura and Lily."
"What about the two lasses?"
Syaoran sighed. "I have this weird feeling when I'm with Sakura but I have butterflies in my stomach when I see Lily. Could... I like both of them?" He asked quietly.
Wei shook his head and patted Syaoran's shoulder softly.
"Iie Syaoran. You are caught between Lust and Love."
"Nani?" Syaoran exclaimed. "So...ano...which one is which?"
Wei smiled warmly. "That is you to decipher. Before I forget, there is another note for you on the counter." Wei stated before he left.
Syaoran left to the kitchen and grabbed the letter.
Dearest Little Wolf,
I count the days till I reveal myself to you. Your smile warms my day. When I meet your eyes, I blush. You're the greatest Syao-kun. I love everything about you. I hope you think of me too.
With Love, Your Secret Admirer
Syaoran let out an exasperated sigh.
Lust or Love.
Lily or Sakura.
* * * *
Sakura smiled.
"I feel better after talking to Meiling."
Tomoyo smiled. "I know. I miss her."
"Yeah. I wonder where Ryu was while she spoke to us." Sakura asked.
"I bet she forgot to pass him the phone."
"Now he's probably whining."
"Yeah you know Ryu."
"You forgot about me." They both said at the same time.
"Kajiuu I'm home." Touya said.
Tomoyo and Sakura turned around and saw Kaho and Touya entering the house.
"Ohayo Mizuki-sensei."
"Ohayo Sakura-san. How are you this evening?"
"Good."
Kaho smiled warmly but inside she felt a pang in her heart.
'Sakura's suffering is about to begin as I feared.'
Tomoyo and Sakura giggled.
"Well if you excuse us, we're going upstairs. Girl talk." Tomoyo said as she pulled Sakura upstairs.
"I'll see you later Mizuki-sensei!"
"Go have fun Sakura."
Touya grunted. "Noisy kajiuus."
Kaho giggled.
"They take after you." She said before proceeding into the living room.
"Hey!" He said before he followed her.
* * * *
Next Day...
"Ohayo!"
Lily squealed as she hugged her friends Carleen and Milla.
"When did you two come? How long are you staying?" Lily asked, filled with excitement.
Carleen smiled. "About a week. We couldn't stand leaving you alone here another minute." She declared.
Milla giggled. "Yeah so we tricked our parents to let us visit you."
Lily smiled. "I'm so happy. There is nothing that'll make this day any better..."
"Hey."
Lily turned around and smiled even brighter. 'Well...until now.' She thought.
"Hey! Syaoran-kun meet my two best friends. This is Carleen." She said.
Syaoran nodded to the girl who had hazel eyes and light brown hair.
"And this is Milla." She said. Syaoran nodded again to the girl with reddish hair and green eyes.
"Nice to meet you both." He said.
They both sighed dreamily.
"Carleen, Milla, this is Syaoran Li. My..."
"Boyfriend?" The two girls questioned, squealing.
Syaoran looked away and noticed Eriol scowling as he spoke to someone on the phone. He grinned and nodded to Eriol who looked up and waved at him.
"Really Syaoran?" Lily asked.
Syaoran turned around and saw the girls looking expectantly at him.
"Huh... oh yeah... whatever."
Lily blushed and smiled as her two friends squealed.
"We leave you here for three days and you already have a boyfriend?"
Lily blushed more as Syaoran looked at them as if they were crazed.
'She has a boyfriend? Funny... I'd expected to feel jealous.' He thought.
"So whose the lucky guy?" Syaoran asked.
All three of them blinked and giggled.
"Silly Li-san. You just said you are."
"What?!"
Lily looked at him and nodded.
"I just asked you if you are my boyfriend and you said yeah."
Syaoran swallowed the big lump that formed in his throat.
"I did?" He said so lowly, they barely heard it.
* * * *
Sakura smiled.
"Today seems like a better day!" She said cheerfully as she rose from her bed.
"Tomoyo is right. I should tell Syaoran-kun my feelings."
Sakura speedily changed into a cute pink outfit. She wore a light pink halter and white capris. She had pink and white sneakers and pink clips to match. Sakura smiled happily.
"Perfect." She said as she skipped out the door.
"Hey Sakura."
Sakura looked up and smiled. "Ohayo Yuki! My brother is inside sleeping."
"All right. What brings you up early this morning?"
Sakura blushed faintly. "Ano... I have to go do something before I forget."
"Oh. Well you might as well be on your way. I'll go wake up your brother."
"Hai. Ja ne Yuki!"
Yukito smiled. "My sister is sleeping as well. I'm sure you'll surprise her if you stop by."
"Okay!"
Yukito watched Sakura skate merrily away.
"Always genki."
* * * *
Eriol nearly died when he heard Lily say Syaoran was her boyfriend.
'No... this couldn't have happened so fast.'
He watched Syaoran blushed faintly and scratch his head.
"Well I guess I am." Syaoran said.
"Can you excuse us for a second?" Lily asked her friends.
They nodded enthusiastically and went inside her house.
"Syaoran-kun..."
"Ano... Lily I have something to tell..."
"Wait. I just wanted to say I never had a boyfriend who is sweet and cute like you. Well I just wanted to say that I was the one who sent you the love letters."
Syaoran gaped at her.
'So it was her? Not Sakura...' He thought feeling a tang of disappointment.
Syaoran smiled. "Well Lily-chan... err... I guess you're my girlfriend now."
"Hai."
Lily walked up to Syaoran and kissed him on the lips. Syaoran didn't react but had the decency to close his eyes.
Lily pulled away and smiled.
Eriol couldn't take it anymore. He left immediately before he noticed a flash of pink pass his way.
'No...' He thought before he turned around.
* * * *
"What?"
"Hurry Tomoyo!"
"For what again?"
"Syaoran! Lily! Sakura!"
"I don't get what you mean."
"Syaoran asked Lily out and is about to tell Sakura."
"No... that cannot be! I just told Sakura to tell him her feelings."
"Sakura is going to be devastated. Get down here."
"Where are you?"
"In front of Lily's house."
Tomoyo hung up the phone.
"Why did that stupid girl have to come into our lives." She said as she dressed herself speedily.
* * * *
Meiling woke up gasping for air.
"Meiling-chan?"
Meiling looked up and saw Ryu rushing over to her bed.
"Did you have it?"
"Sakura is about to suffer right now."
"It's too late to save her, ne?"
"But why Sakura-chan?"
Ryu hugged Meiling close.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure Tomoyo, Eriol, and Syaoran will protect her."
Ryu didn't know how wrong he was about Syaoran.
* * * *
"Oh Hi Lei-san. I didn't know you were here Syaoran-kun."
"Ohayo Sakura-chan! I need to speak..."
"Syaoran-kun don't be shy. You can tell her in front of me."
Sakura blinked. 'Did she just call him Syaoran-kun?"
Syaoran bit his lip. "Ano...Sakura-chan."
"Hai?" She asked. 'Why is my heart pounding so fast?' She thought.
Lily shook her head. "Well if you would to take your time, I'll tell her."
"Nani? What do you want to tell me?" Sakura asked.
"Syaoran just asked me out and I said yes."
Sakura felt someone rip her heart out and smash it into pieces.
"Wha...?"
"Hai Sakura...it's true." Syaoran said as Lily clasped his hand.
Eriol glared at Syaoran as Sakura stared at him in disbelief.
"No..." Sakura murmured before everything went black.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
I'm hiding!!!!
Okay I didn't mean it. Don't kill me please. I swear I didn't mean it.
If I was a reader, I know I would kill myself too.
But it's out early. Way early.
You should give me some credit here.
I'm freezing. It's damn cold in New York.
Well that's it for Chappie Five!
And here is the PREVIEW for my new fic called: A Time For Dancing. (Based on the novel I read)
Sakura and Tomoyo, Tomoyo and Sakura, everyone knows that when you see one, the other can't be far behind. Best friends for more than half their lives, the two are practically inseparable. And in the summer before their last year of high school, Sakura and Tomoyo are certain that whatever the future brings- college, or professional dance careers for both- they'll be ready for it, sharing the triumphs and facing the tears together.
But nothing could have prepared them for Sakura's sudden illness and the discovery of its cause- diffuse histiocytic lymphoma, a type of cancer. Tomoyo tries to be a true friend, supporting Sakura during the weeks of testing and doctors and treatments, but the horrifying pain and indignities that Sakura suffers, and the feeling that she has lost control over her own life, force Sakura to a place where not even Tomoyo can follow. Now both Sakura and Tomoyo must learn to accept the unacceptable- that Sakura's cancer may not go away. How each in her own way, comes face the possibility of Sakura's death and learn to celebrate her life.
And my other fic that's coming out will be shown like this probably next month. Okayz? ^-^
Now don't kill me. I know you all love me.

You guys are so much. I've been added to more favorites and if you cannot see me, I'm jumping around in joy. And I just need ONE more review to reach ONE HUNDRED! Woo hoo!

I'm sure Faith and Starrie will forgive us. ^^;;;; -rubs her neck- No strangling allowed to the author! Or else... I will make Syaoran kiss Lily in the next chapter! Mwahahahahaha!
At the end, I will be explaining a new plot for another fic. Though you people will kill me there too. -Sigh- I don't win either way, don't I?

Chapter Five
The Loss
Syaoran walked down the stairs of his apartment. He couldn't think straight. First of all, he met one great girl, Sakura, who was friendly, sweet, pretty cute he must admit, and understanding. In the beginning he thought he was falling for her. But then here comes Lily, who is nice, pretty friendly, really sweet, cute, straightforward, spoke her mind, and was somewhat understanding.
He got along with Sakura perfectly. They even played around and several people mistaken them to be a couple. As for Lily, he didn't know exactly what happened. In the beginning he thought she was just like Song Min. But she corrected him. She was outgoing and spoke her mind. But...Was he brainwashed or was she really telling the truth?
- Flash Back-
"Fine you may call me Syaoran-san."
"Arigato Syaoran. You may call me Lily-san."
"Okay."
There was an uncomfortable silence in the air. Lily stepped in front of Syaoran.
"Syaoran I'm not the kind of person you think I am. I'm sorry but I don't respect the fact that you judged me so easily."
Syaoran stared blankly at her. 'Just how does she know how I rated her?' He thought.
"Syaoran I am just the same as Kinomoto-san. Really I am. It's just that you don't realize that because you already have an 'idea' of me. I hope you truly understand." Lily said with tears in her eyes.
"Hai I understand. Gomen nasai for rating you so quickly."
Lily smiled. "I knew you would. May you give me a tour then Syaoran-san?"
"Hai. I guess it'll be fair."
"Then we'll finally get to know each other."
"Hai."
-Flash Back Ended-
Syaoran shook his head. Though she spoke her mind, he didn't like her pushiness. But what made him like her so much? Syaoran sighed. 'Maybe I'm not completely over Song Min.' He thought to himself.
Syaoran walked out of his door and noticed Sakura's solemn expression. He went out of his thinking mode.
"Sakura-chan, are you okay?"
Sakura looked up, noticing Syaoran's concerned expression.
"Hai."
"What ever is the matter with the sweet princess?"
"Iie. It's nothing Prince Syaoran."
"I don't believe you. Princess, tell me what is wrong?"
Sakura shook her head. "Nothing. Let's go?"
Syaoran shook his head, mimicking Sakura. "Iie. Not until you tell me Sakura-chan. I thought best friends don't keep secrets."
Sakura smiled faintly. "Persistent little prince."
"One of my best qualities."
Sakura giggled softly. "I guess so. Really Syaoran-kun, it's nothing. Come on let's go." She said as she grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the roller rink.
"Ahh the princess is controlling."
"Am not!"
"Are too! Look at this. You are PULLING the prince against his own will."
Sakura stopped and giggled. "So I am. That's because the arrogant prince wouldn't move."
"Ouch princess. That was a bit harsh."
Sakura smirked. "The truth hurts, doesn't it?"
"It's not the truth."
"Aww the prince is sensitive."
"Am not!"
"Are too."
Syaoran pouted. Sakura smiled softly. "Come on Syaoran. Before it gets dark."
"Fine but on the way, you better tell me what's wrong."
"I told you nothing." She said in a singsong voice.
Syaoran sighed. "Fine. But remember if you keep too many things bottled inside yourself, it will explode and destroy you."
"I'll keep that in mind."
* * * *
Tomoyo sighed as she swung slowly on the swing.
"Angels shouldn't be depressed."
Tomoyo smiled slightly. "And gentlemen shouldn't be stalking."
Eriol chuckled. "It's just that you seemed so sad after Syaoran left."
"I told you..."
"I know Sakura is beginning to like him. And it hurts me too, you know. Sakura is like my sister and I always wanted the best for her."
Tomoyo looked up into Eriol's azure eyes and nodded.
"Demo... Syaoran seemed so perfect for her."
"Tomoyo my love, maybe he is. Time will tell."
"Meiling wouldn't support your theory."
"Ah you are referring to her go and stop the evil bitch way."
Tomoyo giggled. "Hai."
Eriol shook his head. "Well she isn't here..."
"That's what makes me depressed."
Eriol slipped his arms around her waist as he seated himself next to Tomoyo on the swing.
"Don't worry. We'll try our best to be like Meiling."
"Yes but without the evil and mean confrontations."
"Hai...we're too... nice."
Tomoyo giggled. "I know."
* * * *
"Pick up!"
"No answer?"
"I don't understand. They should be in their homes by the phone expecting my call!"
"Meiling... people have lives."
"Not without me!"
Ryu sighed and then chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
"You."
"Why is that, may I ask?"
"You are calling their homes, when they have cell phones."
Meiling sweat-dropped and chuckled. "Oops?"
"That is my Meiling-chan, ladies and gentlemen."
"That's it!"
"Nani?"
Meiling picked up a pillow and thrusted it at Ryu.
"Owww! Oh you want to play like that?"
"That's what you deser... OWW!"
"Hehehehehe."
"Ryu!"
"Meiling!"
They both started laughing hysterically.
* * * *
"Not too bad Sakura."
"Arigato. You aren't so bad yourself."
Sakura smiled as Syaoran held her hand as they practiced another move. Many people stared at them in amazement and others thought they were so cute together.
"Tired, sweet princess?"
"Hai... just a bit."
"Okay let's take a break."
"Arigato Syaoran-kun."
Syaoran led Sakura to the booth nearby.
"Rest."
"Got it Prince."
Syaoran chuckled shaking his head. Sakura smiled. She really enjoyed spending time with Syaoran. She hated to admit it, but she was beginning to like him more than a friend. She loved his eyes, his smile, and the way he acted around her. No guy treated her as his equal, except for Eriol and Ryu.
"I'll get some drinks. Okay?"
"Okay."
Sakura watched Syaoran's retreating form. 'Nope never met a guy quite like him.'
"Hey sexy!"
Sakura growled. 'Why won't these guys leave me alone?' She thought frustrated.
"You look so good today." A guy with dark blond hair and green eyes said.
"Yeah you should hang out with us sometime." A guy with red hair and brown eyes said.
"We'll treat you real nice." A guy with silver hair and dark gray eyes said as he traced Sakura's shoulder. Sakura shuddered.
"Leave me alone. Don't you understand that I don't like any of you?"
"Sweet thing, you don't mean that." The guy with silver hair said as he traced Sakura's arm.
"Leave her alone."
Sakura smiled as she looked up into the angry and stern eyes of Syaoran.
"Mind your business."
"You are bothering my best friend."
"Forgive us. Now beat it."
"No."
"Tough guy, eh?"
"Yo, Phillip I know this kid." The guy with red hair said.
"So what. He's messing with us." The guy with silver hair, whose name is Phillip, said.
"No you don't get it. He's the 'leader' of the..."
"Simon I said shut up." Phillip said angrily.
The guy with red hair closed his mouth. The blond one understood what Simon was saying.
"Oh. No Philli you don't get it man. Remember the Li's?"
"Ivan I sai- Oh. That's...?"
"Hai."
"Let's go."
All three turned and left. Phillip turned and blew a kiss to Sakura.
Sakura shuddered once again. Syaoran placed his arms around Sakura and hugged her.
"If I knew idiots would bother you when I was away, I would've stayed."
Sakura blushed faintly and smiled. "Arigato demo... you wouldn't have known."
"I know. Still... I don't like those guys."
"How come they backed off when they said your last name?"
Syaoran sighed. "I guess I held it long enough."
"Nani?"
"Well I'm..."
"Ohayo!"
Sakura grunted inwardly as she looked up to the sweet smile of Lily.
"Ohayo Lei-san." Sakura said without emotion.
Lily smiled. "Ohayo Syaoran-san." She said cheerfully. "Kinomoto-san." She said lacking emotion as well.
"Hey Lily-san. What brings you here?" He asked as he pulled away from his embrace on Sakura.
Sakura looked down to the floor and frowned. 'I guess I'm the third wheel now.' She thought as she noticed the fluent conversation Lily had with Syaoran.
"I can stay? Arigato!" Lily said as she hugged Syaoran. Syaoran chuckled and hugged her back.
Sakura felt her eyes begin to water. She turned away as she began to shiver in fury. Quietly she got up and skated away.
She skated as quickly as possible until she reached her house. Sakura speedily took off her skates and raced upstairs. As she arrived into her room, she locked the door and began to weep on her bed.
* * * *
"What happened to Sakura-chan?" Syaoran asked as he released Lily.
"Silly you didn't hear? She said she had to go."
"Oh... I didn't get to say good bye."
"It's all right. I'm sure she understands." Lily said smiling brightly.
"Well do you want to skate?" Syaoran asked.
"Sure! But may I hold your hand? I can't skate very well."
"No problem. I'll teach you." Syaoran said as he led her towards the rink.
Lily smiled. "Thank you."
Syaoran smiled back.
(A/N: I bet you all are dying to kill me! But no one knows where I live except that I'm in New York! Bwahahahaha! Wait... Starrie does. Damn it! Don't hit me!)
* * * *
Sakura sat up and wiped her tears on her sleeve.
"Why am I crying?" She asked herself out loud. She heard her cat, Kero, purring off in the corner of her room.
"I'm so stupid. I'm such a baka." She said as she as she got up. Her clock, which was on her dresser, rang five times, indicating the current hour.
"Five o'clock. Thank God otou-san and onii-chan weren't home." She said as she unlocked her bedroom door. Just as she reached the bottom of the stairs, her phone rang. Sakura raced to get it but didn't fail to trip over her blades.
"Moshi Moshi?" Sakura said without breath.
"Sakura-chan! Finally someone home!"
"Meiling! How is America?"
"Forget about that. What's happening in Tomoeda since the one and only Meiling Raye has left?"
Sakura giggled, forgetting about her distress. "It's been dull without you Meiling."
* * * *
Dark brown eyes narrowed into slits.
"Who the hell is she?"
"Don't know."
"Never saw her before."
"You two are useless! Move!!"
Jasmine and Xiomara cleared the way as Song Min briskly skated into the rink.
"Ohayo." Song Min said.
Lily smiled sweetly as Syaoran grunted.
"Ohayo. My name is Lily Lei."
"Never saw you around here before. Recently moved here?"
"Hai."
"Oh. Well Syaoran-kun is mine. Just letting you know."
With that, she briskly skated away.
Lily turned to Syaoran.
"You have a girlfriend?" She questioned.
"Iie. That's my ex. She's pretty pushy."
"Oh." She said before smiling sweetly to Syaoran.
* * * *
"Really? I'd never expect someone would transfer during the summer."
"I know." Sakura said sadly.
"Sakura is something wrong?"
"Iie! Nothing!"
"Sakura-chan..." Meiling warned.
Ding Dong. Sakura's doorbell was heard throughout her house. Sakura smiled.
"Someone's at my door. Hold on Meiling-chan."
"Matte! Sakura!"
Sakura giggled as she ran up to her door.
"Hey."
"Hi Tomoyo! Meiling's on the phone!"
"Honto ne?"
"Yeah!"
The girls raced back to the phone.
"Meiling!"
"Tomoyo!"
The girls giggled endlessly.
* * * *
"I had a fun time." Lily said shyly.
"Me too. Well I have to go." Syaoran said.
"Matte!"
"Nani?"
"Ano...you want to go out tomorrow?"
"Where?"
"Umm...maybe to the restaurant that just opened."
"...I guess."
"Wai!!! Arigato Syaoran-kun!"
"It's nothing." Syaoran said, ignoring the fact she called him 'Syaoran- kun'.
* * * *
"Talk to us soon Meiling!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Don't have too much fun without us." Sakura said.
"Hai. Hai. All that goes the same to you."
"Hai!" Sakura and Tomoyo said at the same time, giggling.
"Ja!"
Meiling smiled as she hung up the phone.
"Didn't let me talk. Meanie."
Meiling blinked and then her eyes widened.
"Gomen nasai Ryu! I completely..."
"Forgot about me." Ryu finished.
Meiling nodded numbly.
"Well you also forgot to ask what was wrong with Sakura."
"Wha...?"
"When she mentioned the transfer student."
Meiling clasped her hand over her mouth. "Damn!"
"Meiling your feeling..."
"I know... demo... Sakura-chan still seemed genki so I wouldn't worry."
"For now."
"What kind of support is that?"
"Good support."
"Ryu..."
Ryu chuckled.
* * * *
"Eriol!"
Eriol sighed.
"Hai obaa-san?"
"Look at Suppi-chan!"
Eriol chuckled. His poor cat must be suffering again under his hyper aunt's hands.
"Coming."
As he headed downstairs, he saw his aunt Nakuru hopping in glee.
"Suppi-chan you look so kawaii!!!!"
Eriol started laughing seeing his cat, Spinel-Sun, dressed up as a flower. He could tell that his cat was frowning.
"Obaa-san, Spinel doesn't seem to like the costume."
"Yes he does. If he could speak, he would say he'd love it. And don't call me 'obaa-san' just Nakuru. I don't like feeling old." She said pouting.
"Hai. Hai. Just release Spinel from his imprisonment."
"Fine..."
* * * *
"Welcome home Master Li."
"Hi Wei."
"How was your day with Miss Sakura?"
"She left early so I stayed with Lily."
"Oh."
"Wei?"
"Hai Master Syaoran?"
"I'm confused."
"About what?"
"Sakura and Lily."
"What about the two lasses?"
Syaoran sighed. "I have this weird feeling when I'm with Sakura but I have butterflies in my stomach when I see Lily. Could... I like both of them?" He asked quietly.
Wei shook his head and patted Syaoran's shoulder softly.
"Iie Syaoran. You are caught between Lust and Love."
"Nani?" Syaoran exclaimed. "So...ano...which one is which?"
Wei smiled warmly. "That is you to decipher. Before I forget, there is another note for you on the counter." Wei stated before he left.
Syaoran left to the kitchen and grabbed the letter.
Dearest Little Wolf,
I count the days till I reveal myself to you. Your smile warms my day. When I meet your eyes, I blush. You're the greatest Syao-kun. I love everything about you. I hope you think of me too.
With Love, Your Secret Admirer
Syaoran let out an exasperated sigh.
Lust or Love.
Lily or Sakura.
* * * *
Sakura smiled.
"I feel better after talking to Meiling."
Tomoyo smiled. "I know. I miss her."
"Yeah. I wonder where Ryu was while she spoke to us." Sakura asked.
"I bet she forgot to pass him the phone."
"Now he's probably whining."
"Yeah you know Ryu."
"You forgot about me." They both said at the same time.
"Kajiuu I'm home." Touya said.
Tomoyo and Sakura turned around and saw Kaho and Touya entering the house.
"Ohayo Mizuki-sensei."
"Ohayo Sakura-san. How are you this evening?"
"Good."
Kaho smiled warmly but inside she felt a pang in her heart.
'Sakura's suffering is about to begin as I feared.'
Tomoyo and Sakura giggled.
"Well if you excuse us, we're going upstairs. Girl talk." Tomoyo said as she pulled Sakura upstairs.
"I'll see you later Mizuki-sensei!"
"Go have fun Sakura."
Touya grunted. "Noisy kajiuus."
Kaho giggled.
"They take after you." She said before proceeding into the living room.
"Hey!" He said before he followed her.
* * * *
Next Day...
"Ohayo!"
Lily squealed as she hugged her friends Carleen and Milla.
"When did you two come? How long are you staying?" Lily asked, filled with excitement.
Carleen smiled. "About a week. We couldn't stand leaving you alone here another minute." She declared.
Milla giggled. "Yeah so we tricked our parents to let us visit you."
Lily smiled. "I'm so happy. There is nothing that'll make this day any better..."
"Hey."
Lily turned around and smiled even brighter. 'Well...until now.' She thought.
"Hey! Syaoran-kun meet my two best friends. This is Carleen." She said.
Syaoran nodded to the girl who had hazel eyes and light brown hair.
"And this is Milla." She said. Syaoran nodded again to the girl with reddish hair and green eyes.
"Nice to meet you both." He said.
They both sighed dreamily.
"Carleen, Milla, this is Syaoran Li. My..."
"Boyfriend?" The two girls questioned, squealing.
Syaoran looked away and noticed Eriol scowling as he spoke to someone on the phone. He grinned and nodded to Eriol who looked up and waved at him.
"Really Syaoran?" Lily asked.
Syaoran turned around and saw the girls looking expectantly at him.
"Huh... oh yeah... whatever."
Lily blushed and smiled as her two friends squealed.
"We leave you here for three days and you already have a boyfriend?"
Lily blushed more as Syaoran looked at them as if they were crazed.
'She has a boyfriend? Funny... I'd expected to feel jealous.' He thought.
"So whose the lucky guy?" Syaoran asked.
All three of them blinked and giggled.
"Silly Li-san. You just said you are."
"What?!"
Lily looked at him and nodded.
"I just asked you if you are my boyfriend and you said yeah."
Syaoran swallowed the big lump that formed in his throat.
"I did?" He said so lowly, they barely heard it.
* * * *
Sakura smiled.
"Today seems like a better day!" She said cheerfully as she rose from her bed.
"Tomoyo is right. I should tell Syaoran-kun my feelings."
Sakura speedily changed into a cute pink outfit. She wore a light pink halter and white capris. She had pink and white sneakers and pink clips to match. Sakura smiled happily.
"Perfect." She said as she skipped out the door.
"Hey Sakura."
Sakura looked up and smiled. "Ohayo Yuki! My brother is inside sleeping."
"All right. What brings you up early this morning?"
Sakura blushed faintly. "Ano... I have to go do something before I forget."
"Oh. Well you might as well be on your way. I'll go wake up your brother."
"Hai. Ja ne Yuki!"
Yukito smiled. "My sister is sleeping as well. I'm sure you'll surprise her if you stop by."
"Okay!"
Yukito watched Sakura skate merrily away.
"Always genki."
* * * *
Eriol nearly died when he heard Lily say Syaoran was her boyfriend.
'No... this couldn't have happened so fast.'
He watched Syaoran blushed faintly and scratch his head.
"Well I guess I am." Syaoran said.
"Can you excuse us for a second?" Lily asked her friends.
They nodded enthusiastically and went inside her house.
"Syaoran-kun..."
"Ano... Lily I have something to tell..."
"Wait. I just wanted to say I never had a boyfriend who is sweet and cute like you. Well I just wanted to say that I was the one who sent you the love letters."
Syaoran gaped at her.
'So it was her? Not Sakura...' He thought feeling a tang of disappointment.
Syaoran smiled. "Well Lily-chan... err... I guess you're my girlfriend now."
"Hai."
Lily walked up to Syaoran and kissed him on the lips. Syaoran didn't react but had the decency to close his eyes.
Lily pulled away and smiled.
Eriol couldn't take it anymore. He left immediately before he noticed a flash of pink pass his way.
'No...' He thought before he turned around.
* * * *
"What?"
"Hurry Tomoyo!"
"For what again?"
"Syaoran! Lily! Sakura!"
"I don't get what you mean."
"Syaoran asked Lily out and is about to tell Sakura."
"No... that cannot be! I just told Sakura to tell him her feelings."
"Sakura is going to be devastated. Get down here."
"Where are you?"
"In front of Lily's house."
Tomoyo hung up the phone.
"Why did that stupid girl have to come into our lives." She said as she dressed herself speedily.
* * * *
Meiling woke up gasping for air.
"Meiling-chan?"
Meiling looked up and saw Ryu rushing over to her bed.
"Did you have it?"
"Sakura is about to suffer right now."
"It's too late to save her, ne?"
"But why Sakura-chan?"
Ryu hugged Meiling close.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure Tomoyo, Eriol, and Syaoran will protect her."
Ryu didn't know how wrong he was about Syaoran.
* * * *
"Oh Hi Lei-san. I didn't know you were here Syaoran-kun."
"Ohayo Sakura-chan! I need to speak..."
"Syaoran-kun don't be shy. You can tell her in front of me."
Sakura blinked. 'Did she just call him Syaoran-kun?"
Syaoran bit his lip. "Ano...Sakura-chan."
"Hai?" She asked. 'Why is my heart pounding so fast?' She thought.
Lily shook her head. "Well if you would to take your time, I'll tell her."
"Nani? What do you want to tell me?" Sakura asked.
"Syaoran just asked me out and I said yes."
Sakura felt someone rip her heart out and smash it into pieces.
"Wha...?"
"Hai Sakura...it's true." Syaoran said as Lily clasped his hand.
Eriol glared at Syaoran as Sakura stared at him in disbelief.
"No..." Sakura murmured before everything went black.
