Disclaimer: This chapter is an original work that unexpectedly popped out of my mind. Let's just say, a light bulb lit up above my head when I had the idea come over me.
Do I make sense? I dunno... I'm just typing out stuff.
A/N: Oh and sorry for the long update. I've been having author's block around these days and I've been trying to look for my inspiration. I'm not sure if you're gonna buy that reason but, hey! atleast I have a reason than none. Anyway, ON WITH THE STORY!
OoOoh! I added a new character! A dog! and a surprise guest! Guess who!

Chapter 6: Ryuki Zhou's appearance
In the last chapter, Li couldn't take it anymore so he got up and ran to the door. Eriol chased after him.
"Hey Li! Don't leave me here!" Eriol called out, running after Syaoran, who just exited the door. Sakura looked puzled. "What's his problem?"
Sakura asked to Tomoyo. All she received was a grin. 'Ohoho! The plan has just begun!' Sakura raised her brow.
She did not like the way her best friend was grinning.
~~~~~~~~~~~
4 weeks from the last chapter,
Sakura opened her eyes finding herself in the same 'dream' again. She had been having the same dreams lately and she always ended up having sleepless nights. She found the familiar jet black haired boy where he was usually at in her dreams. 'Hey, Sakura...' he called out once again, giving her the same smile that he only shows her when they were young.
Suddenly, another bright light came streaming down as if they were waves and enclosed in on Sakura. She closed her eyes to protect them from the overly bright light and when she opened them, a familiar scene played through her eyes.
It was the same scene where the sun was setting down and she found her younger version standing at the park, next to a boy. Sakura saw the boy giving her the gold chained necklace with an emerald stone in it.
She heard the young boy say, "We'll meet again... someday..." as he vanished into the dark, his voice dying down. Little Sakura, tears rushing down from her eyes, ran after him, stretching her hands saying, "Please, don't leave me here! I don't want to be alone! And you said that we'll always play together!" she tried very hard to chase
him but he was out of her reach. The last thing that he said was, "Don't worry, you're not alone. I'll be watching you..."
Sakura opened her eyes for real, this time, finding her arms stretched out and raised. She lowered it and sat up, supporting her head from the head ache she was getting. Beads of sweat came trickling down from her face and fell to the back of her hand. Her breathing was fast and unstable, her heart beating faster than the normal rate,
'why do I get sleepless nights everyday?' she asked herself. Ever since she found out the truth about her childhood past, she's been having dreams about it, dreams about the jet black-haired boy and the 'accident'
Sakura clutched the dangling necklace on her neck tightly and stared at it."Ryu..." she said, regaining her normal breathing, and her heart beat finally settled down. She felt something soft and cottony lying beside her and realized it was her puppy that she got last month(I decided to put the pup cause he's cute, Heheheh! *What Kind of REASON is that?!*
(But he is cute! Look at him, don't you just love how cute he is? Besides, It's not my fault, he gave me those irresistable puppy dog eyes so that I can include him in the story!). Sakura stroked the white-fur of the wolf like puppy and fell back into a dreamless sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura woke up the next morning, finding the puppy licking her cheeks. Sakura sat up and petted the cute puppy and carried him into her lap.
"It puzzles me, Kero, why would I have the same dream again over and over for about a week now? Was it telling me something that I'm supposed to figure out? It's just weird. Especially when It's about
my childhood bestfriend..." she said. She looked at her sea green jade pendant and sighed. Noticing the confusion and sadness in his owner, Kero barked happily and danced on top of her head. (He's so little that he can play on Sakura's head)(A/N: I'm not sure if there's a teeny sized pup like Kero-chan. If there isn't, try to imagine there is only that he's really rare and one of a kind.)
Sakura smiled and kissed her little dog, who grew happier and more energetic. Suddenly, her eyes drifted on her calendar beside her pink alarm clock that says 5:00 am. Her eyes widened when a sudden realization struck her. On the printed bold letters says 'Valentine's Day' . Meaning, the next day after will be valentines day.
"Oh Kero! I didn't even realize that tomorrow is Valentine's day. If I knew it ealier, I would have bought everybody presents (Everybody - Touya, Fujitaka, Tomoyo, her friends 'If she has any'). Maybe I'll have Tomoyo come over later after school and we can bake cookies like we did for dad's birthday last year. Good thing I saved up those heart shaped cookie shaper!
(Fanficpixie: Umm, I really don't know what you call those things that you use to shape the cookies. If you guys know it, could you please tell me on the review, so that on the next chapter, I won't use the term cookie shaper. Thanks! ^-^)
Would you like to help us out on baking cookies too, Kero?" she asked. Hearing the word cookies, Kero's mouth started watering. Sakura knew that Kero loved sweets more than any 'thing' (Thing, that doesn't include Sakura). Kero started to wag his tail eagerly and stood up (Doggy style). Sakura giggled and began brushing her teeth while Kero turned on the video games and started to play one of those games Keroberos would play (You know, those adventure and fighting ones.)
Sakura decided to wear a light pink sleeveles turtle neck with a black skirt. Since it was freezing cold outside, she topped off her outfit
with a long, blue denim trench coat. She also wore her knee-length, high heeled black boots. Sakura smiled and admired herself in front of the mirror and twirled in front of Kero-chan and asked if he liked her outfit.
Kero-chan whose concentration was on the screen (playing video-game), gave an approving bark. Sakura bid Kero goodbye and took her bag with her, stuffed some school items, and climbed down stairs for an early breakfast.
She found Touya sitting on his usual spot doing his usual stuff on the table again, holding a cup of steaming coffee, as usual. She seated her self in her favorite spot and drank some hot cocoa her dad had made for her.
"I thought you will never wake up. Why are you early today, Kaijuu?" he asked, his main focus on her outfit. Sakura grinned. "A weird dream woke me up. Why? You don't like me waking up early? Fine then, tomorrow, I'll wake up late and--" she said when Touya cut her off.
"No... It's actually helpful for me since I don't have to bother myself to wake you up with a cold bucket of water again." he said, smirking.
Sakura grimaced. Her pout was changed by a grin. "By the way," Sakura began and took out a big mallet and pounded Touya's head with it. "That's for calling me a Kaijuu." she said, she spun the mallet like a baton and smiled in satisfactory.
Touya got back to his feet with a tall bandaged bump with on his head, Sakura laughed her head off seeing the tall bump on his head. Touya was about to grab Sakura when Fujitaka entered the room, carrying a pan. Touya froze and dropped to the floor (anime style.)
"Ah, Sakura, you're early today!" he said, placing a plate full of pancakes on the table. "Yup! I sure am." Sakura said, sitting back at her seat. She found Touya lying on the floor and ignored him thinking he was goofing off again. She forked up a couple of pan cakes and munched on it, drank her hot cocoa and observed her dad who took a seat and picked up the picture of his late wife.
"Say Dad, I've been wanting to ask you this for a very long time. I can't remember how mom died. Since that accident, my memory was completely erased." Sakura asked. The smile on her dad's lips was now gone but was replaced with a sad smile.
Noticing the sadness on their dad, Touya decided that he will tell the story himself.
"It happened on the same day of your accident, Sakura. Mom was going to work alone unable to be accompanied by me or dad because I had school that time and dad needed to go to work early. By the time she was about to climb on her car which was parked outside, a run-away prisoner pushed her out of the way and shot her on the stomach. He hopped into her car and sped off. Soon, the policemen
who wer chasing the escaped convict, saw the seriously-injured woman and called for an ambulance, immediately." Touya who had tears on his eyes, paused. Sakura who was intently listening, felt her tears also slide down on her cheeks. "The ambulance came minutes later, and was too late. Mom, being weak, couldn't stand the pain, her breathing was cut off, and her heart beat had stopped beating. She passed away."
Sakura felt her anger rise up. She never felt this angry before, the only time when she did was when Syaoran had stolen her lunch. How she wished to hunt the person who killed her mom herself and beat him up. Speaking of that person, "What happened to the person responsible for mom's death?" She asked, her fist was clasped. Touya frowned. "He was also the same person who hit you. Remember,
he had just carnapped mom's car and sped off. When he turned on a corner, he didn't slowed down one bit and hit you. He didn't even stopped to help you." Touya slammed his fist on the table, making the plates and glasses jump up. Sakura was surprised by his reaction. She had never seen him this mad before. Sure he would get mad because she would pound him with a mallet when he pulls a trick on her, but not this mad.
Sakura smiled at her brother and held his hands, which was shaking with anger. "Touya, that was the past. Let's forget about it. What's done has been done. Even if we like it or not, we can't changed what has happened. We just have to accept and deal with it." Sakura said. Touya's enraged face softened at the smile of his sister. 'How could she deal with this so easy? Sakura can sometimes be a wonder to me.' Toya thought, smiling to his sister.
Since there was still an hour till her school starts, Sakura decided that she'll go out and have a little walk. Touya, dad, I'm going for a long walk. Thanks for the breakfast, dad. And Touya, thanks for telling me about what happened. Touya nodded and Fujitaka smiled in response. "Sakura is taking this so easy, I thought at first she would break her heart out and come hunting down for that person." Fujitaka commented. Touya looked at his dad strangely and
continued on reading the newspaper.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura's POV
I walked and walked further not even knowing where my own legs would carry me to.
I reached a park complete with a big sandbox, a two set swings, one see-saw and a king sized penguin slide. A small smile appeared on my lips, because right in front of me was the same Park in my recent dreams. So this is the place where I first met him, and this is also the place where we said our goodbyes. I sat on one of the swings and began to try and recollect my past.
I tried so hard to remember it that my head began to ache. I guess forcing myself on trying to recollect something won't do me any good. I heavily sighed and gave up. It's just impossible to do it. I was fated to be like this. Then, heavy tears came swelling out of my eyes.
"Oh GOD, from all the girls in the world, why me? why does all the bad things happen to me? Why did my mom who I love very much have to leave us? why was I the one who got hit and lost all of my precious memories? Because of that, my life became pathetic!" I said outloud when Suddenly,I felt someone tap on my shoulders.
I was startled at first because I didn't think anybody was here when I arrived. I looked up to see who it was, it was a guy who I've never seen before. I guess he's a stranger. Was it alright to talk to him? But still, something about him is awfully familiar. He stretched out his hands and I heard him say 'here.' I looked down to see a white handkerchief being offered to me.
I stared at it for a while and I heard him say, "Take it, it won't bite. Such a pretty face doesn't deserve to be stained with tears." I blushed at that point and took it. It must be a shame seeing my face all wet with my tears and my eyes all puffy and red.
I pressed the white fluffy cloth on my eyes and wiped off the tears left on my face. I thanked him for it and got a good look of his face.
He has jet black hair and dazzling blue eyes. He was awfully handsome, that I can tell you. But something about him was so mysterious. It's his gloomy atmosphere I guess. He's not too much talkative but this I can tell you, He's been staring at me for crying out loud!
"Is there something on my face?" I pointed out. It was kinda rude to keep staring at people like that. He shoook his head and smiled. "I'm sorry, It's just that, I over heard what you said a while ago. I'm sorry about your mom. And about the accident. Do you want to talk aboout it? Maybe I can help you." I froze when I heard him say that. I felt as If I wanted to cry on his shoulders. I felt as If I wanted to pour everything to him. And I did.
I told him all about my childhood bestfriend and how I dreamt about him all the time and the accident after he bid goodbye to me. I don't know why, but the guy seemed to be really interested. He raised a brow when I mentioned the 'accident.' I knew he was curious about so I told him about my mom being shot and how the car hit me and how I ended up having a poor vision. "I became a nerd since then and everybody teased me and played pranks on me.
I especially hate this Li-jerk. He's the most popular and the most jerk in school. He played pranks on me many times already. I've had enough and yelled at him which didn't do me any good. Yesterday, my cousin Tomoyo (The guy raised a brow again at the mention of her name)
helped me by giving me a make over and that's how I ended up like this." I said finally. I didn't expect to tell a complete stranger about my life. But there was this feeling. A feeling of closeness as if I was comfortable being with him. Finally after a long silence, the guy looked at my emerald eyes. "Your eyes looked the same the last time I saw you. But, it does show trails of sadness within you." He said. "You did went through a lot of things.
I should have known. I'm sorry." he said. I became puzzled. Why was he sorry? And what does mean by 'the last time I saw you?' I'm pretty sure that I never met him before.
The guy smiled once more and got up. I had the urge to ask him what his name was, but it was too late, he was gone. "You'll soon find out." The same voice on my mind said. Was my mind playing tricks on me? Sometimes, I can't help but wonder, Have I met that guy somewhere before?
End of Sakura's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura returned to school and not until she stepped one foot on the ground did they came swarming up toward her. The next instant, she was surrounded by flirty guys. Some were even brave enough to ask her out, but she simply turned them down.
"Uhh! I certainly did not expect this coming." Sakura complained. She spotted Tomoyo, who was also being surrounded by guys, waiting for her under a cherry blossoms tree.
"Wow Sakura! You're already popular!" Tomoyo commented seeing Sakura's stalkers.
"Hey, there's something unsual about you today, since when did you get up early?" Tomoyo asked, raising a brow and giving her the "Eye." Sakura laughed nervously and waved her hands. "It's not what you think Tomoyo! I had a strange dream that woke me up so early."
Tomoyo grinned at Sakura. "mmMMhhmmm... and what is dream about? Was it about some boy?... Just admit it that you're finally getting used to being different." Tomoyo said.
Sakura shook her head violently. "Alright I wasn't telling you the whole story. But the dream is true though. I dreamt about my past and Ryu. Then I woke up early the next morning" Sakura said, settling down on a bench.
"It's weird, I know." she continued.
Not far from where she was seating was Syaoran and his group.
"Hey check it out, It's that Kinomoto girl. She sure looks pretty." one of them commented, loud enough for her to hear. She glared at them and turned back to Tomoyo.
"And Daidouji surely looks pretty too." another one commented, loud enough for Eriol to hear. Eriol turned and glared at him. He also added an additional smack on the head.
"Oww! What did you do that for?!" he complained. Eriol smirked. Syaoran just rolled his eyes from the foolishness of the guys. "Will you guys stop it! Who cares about Kinomoto anyway? Once a dork is always a dork!" he said, crossing his arms. Sakura somehow heard it and sent her shoes flying toward his head. It hit him hard and sent him flying through the air,
"You better shut up Li-JERK!!! Or I'll hit 100 times worse than that, that way, I could break that thick head of yours!" Sakura said, glaring at him. There were sparks flying through the air again as they made eye contact, hitting everybody on the way. It didn't last long though because somebody has interrupted them.
"Li honey!!!! Look what I got you!" a dirty-blonde haired girl jumped up in front of Li and hugged him tightly. It was Lina, now the second hottest girl in school. Sakura is the first one Line second, and Tomoyo, third.
Sakura and Tomoyo rolled their eyes and when Lina wasn't looking, they stuck their tongues out to her.
Lina noticed the two and gave them a dirty look. She walked up in front of Sakura like a mad bull, preparing to charge. "I thought I made it clear that you stay away from Syaoran and that he is MINE!" she yelled.
"I thought I made it clear that I don't want him and that you can have him!" Sakura snapped back. Lina was stepped aback and flipped her hair. "Just stay away from him or else!" she said, running back to Syaoran, who was fleeing from her.
"Ha! She was so and totally scared back then!" Tomoyo blurted out, laughing. Sakura couldn't resist from trying to keep her laughter so she burst into a fit of giggles. Suddenly, Tomoyo's face became worried.
"But, you shouldn't underestimate her, she looks scared as a mouse right now, but once she gathered all her 'followers,' They might gang up on you when I'm not around and who knows what they will do!" Sakura smiled at the great deal of concern her best friend showed to her. She wouldn't be worried about them, but
since Tomoyo was worried about her, she'll stand on her guard in case they might appear when she least expects it.
Suddenly, the young man from earlier appeared on her mind subconciously. He was smiling at her which made her blush a little. She took out the handkerchief from her pocket and held it gently. 'I didn't even have a chance to say thank you to him. Why was he gone so fast? And what does he mean by, 'the last time we met?" Sakura's train of thoughts were interrupted
by the school bell which means they have to go to their respective class. Sakura and Tomoyo gathered up all their stuff and headed towards their class room.
"Class, I have a special surprise for all of you!" announced the teacher, who seemed to be enthusiastic about something. She didn't even care if Syaoran entered the class room late.
"We have a new transfer student who's going to be joining us for the rest of the semester! He came from Hong Kong but he originally lived here when he was young, so It's not a surprise if some of you might know him. Class, this is Ryuki Zhou! (You pronounce Zhou as Zow)
Sakura and Tomoyo's head shot up. "Ryuki Zhou?" they said aloud. The class stared at them in amazement. It's as if both of these girls knew him. The door swung open and in came a boy with crunchy (There goes that mouth watering word again!) jet black hair and blue eyes.
Sakura could feel her face getting hot as she recognized the same guy who offered her his handkerchief. 'Wait a minute, If his name is Ryuki, then, there's a chance that it might be him! the boy in my dreams has the same hair and eye color as he does. Was it a coincidence?' she asked to herself. Ryuki Zhou's eyes drifted towards the same auburn haired girl he met before. ''Ying fa...' he thought.
"Ying fa..." he whispered. Syaoran, who was glaring at the guy because all the girls seemed to be drooling over him, stared at him in amazement when he heard the guy say Ying Fa, and since he is also chinese, he knew it meant Sakura. ''Did he say it on purpose?' Does he and Sakura know each other? And why is Sakura blushing? Could it be that, that...' Syaoran stared horror-struck at the two of them.
"Now where do I put you?" The teacher said, looking for available seats. All the girls' hands shot up in the air and volunteered the seat next to theirs. The teacher smiled when she finally decided on the matter. "Your seat for the rest of the semester is the one besides Kinomoto. Kinomoto, will you please raise your hand so that our new student can see you?" Sakura's hand shot up in the air and Tomoyo smiled happily. Ryuki sat on his seat and turned to look at Sakura.
"Hi, so we meet again" he said, smiling. Sakura blushed furiously and Syaoran's blood started to boil. 'I don't like the way this guy talks to Kinomoto. It's as if they are close friends or something.' he thought. He was gritting his teeth angrily. Sakura, on the other hand, was getting confused. 'Was he refering to our meeting earlier, or when we were still a kid. Besides, I'm not too sure if that's really Ryu-chan.' Sakura thought. Ryuki noticed the necklace dangling on her neck.
"That necklace..." he pointed out. "Do you remember where you got it?" he asked. Sakura held her necklace. "Not really. But I remember a boy giving it to me. It's funny because he has the same name as you. But I'm not really sure If you and him are the same person." Sakura said with a slight of disappointment in her voice.
"Maybe I am, Ying fa" Sakura looked up and smiled happily. Ryu-chan was the only one who called her by that name. "You, you're Ryu-chan!" she cried happily, loud enough for everybody to hear. The teacher looked at her with an arch eyebrow. "Was there something you want to share with us, Miss Kinomoto?" She asked. Sakura blushed and shook her head. "No, sensei. I'm sorry about the disruption. It will never be repeated again." sakura said reassuringly. The teacher stared at her and reverted back to her lesson. Li Syaoran, who heard everything they were talking about,
frowned. 'So, both of them does know each other!' He thought, his jealousy is starting to stir up.
Tomoyo, who had been watching the three, grinned. 'Great! Once Ryuki becomes close to Sakura, Syaoran's jealousy will surely rise! This is where the real fun begins!' Tomoyo told herself as she thought of a new plan. 'This is going to be perfect! It's time to play, Match making!' Tomoyo continued. Her sparkling eyes showed mischief all over it. Eriol who was observing everybody smiled to himself.
"This semester is going to be great!' he told himself.

Sakura felt her anger rise up. She never felt this angry before, the only time when she did was when Syaoran had stolen her lunch. How she wished to hunt the person who killed her mom herself and beat him up. Speaking of that person, "What happened to the person responsible for mom's death?" She asked, her fist was clasped. Touya frowned. "He was also the same person who hit you. Remember,
he had just carnapped mom's car and sped off. When he turned on a corner, he didn't slowed down one bit and hit you. He didn't even stopped to help you." Touya slammed his fist on the table, making the plates and glasses jump up. Sakura was surprised by his reaction. She had never seen him this mad before. Sure he would get mad because she would pound him with a mallet when he pulls a trick on her, but not this mad.
Sakura smiled at her brother and held his hands, which was shaking with anger. "Touya, that was the past. Let's forget about it. What's done has been done. Even if we like it or not, we can't changed what has happened. We just have to accept and deal with it." Sakura said. Touya's enraged face softened at the smile of his sister. 'How could she deal with this so easy? Sakura can sometimes be a wonder to me.' Toya thought, smiling to his sister.
Since there was still an hour till her school starts, Sakura decided that she'll go out and have a little walk. Touya, dad, I'm going for a long walk. Thanks for the breakfast, dad. And Touya, thanks for telling me about what happened. Touya nodded and Fujitaka smiled in response. "Sakura is taking this so easy, I thought at first she would break her heart out and come hunting down for that person." Fujitaka commented. Touya looked at his dad strangely and
continued on reading the newspaper.

Sakura's POV
I walked and walked further not even knowing where my own legs would carry me to.
I reached a park complete with a big sandbox, a two set swings, one see-saw and a king sized penguin slide. A small smile appeared on my lips, because right in front of me was the same Park in my recent dreams. So this is the place where I first met him, and this is also the place where we said our goodbyes. I sat on one of the swings and began to try and recollect my past.
I tried so hard to remember it that my head began to ache. I guess forcing myself on trying to recollect something won't do me any good. I heavily sighed and gave up. It's just impossible to do it. I was fated to be like this. Then, heavy tears came swelling out of my eyes.
"Oh GOD, from all the girls in the world, why me? why does all the bad things happen to me? Why did my mom who I love very much have to leave us? why was I the one who got hit and lost all of my precious memories? Because of that, my life became pathetic!" I said outloud when Suddenly,I felt someone tap on my shoulders.
I was startled at first because I didn't think anybody was here when I arrived. I looked up to see who it was, it was a guy who I've never seen before. I guess he's a stranger. Was it alright to talk to him? But still, something about him is awfully familiar. He stretched out his hands and I heard him say 'here.' I looked down to see a white handkerchief being offered to me.
I stared at it for a while and I heard him say, "Take it, it won't bite. Such a pretty face doesn't deserve to be stained with tears." I blushed at that point and took it. It must be a shame seeing my face all wet with my tears and my eyes all puffy and red.
I pressed the white fluffy cloth on my eyes and wiped off the tears left on my face. I thanked him for it and got a good look of his face.
He has jet black hair and dazzling blue eyes. He was awfully handsome, that I can tell you. But something about him was so mysterious. It's his gloomy atmosphere I guess. He's not too much talkative but this I can tell you, He's been staring at me for crying out loud!
"Is there something on my face?" I pointed out. It was kinda rude to keep staring at people like that. He shoook his head and smiled. "I'm sorry, It's just that, I over heard what you said a while ago. I'm sorry about your mom. And about the accident. Do you want to talk aboout it? Maybe I can help you." I froze when I heard him say that. I felt as If I wanted to cry on his shoulders. I felt as If I wanted to pour everything to him. And I did.
I told him all about my childhood bestfriend and how I dreamt about him all the time and the accident after he bid goodbye to me. I don't know why, but the guy seemed to be really interested. He raised a brow when I mentioned the 'accident.' I knew he was curious about so I told him about my mom being shot and how the car hit me and how I ended up having a poor vision. "I became a nerd since then and everybody teased me and played pranks on me.
I especially hate this Li-jerk. He's the most popular and the most jerk in school. He played pranks on me many times already. I've had enough and yelled at him which didn't do me any good. Yesterday, my cousin Tomoyo (The guy raised a brow again at the mention of her name)
helped me by giving me a make over and that's how I ended up like this." I said finally. I didn't expect to tell a complete stranger about my life. But there was this feeling. A feeling of closeness as if I was comfortable being with him. Finally after a long silence, the guy looked at my emerald eyes. "Your eyes looked the same the last time I saw you. But, it does show trails of sadness within you." He said. "You did went through a lot of things.
I should have known. I'm sorry." he said. I became puzzled. Why was he sorry? And what does mean by 'the last time I saw you?' I'm pretty sure that I never met him before.
The guy smiled once more and got up. I had the urge to ask him what his name was, but it was too late, he was gone. "You'll soon find out." The same voice on my mind said. Was my mind playing tricks on me? Sometimes, I can't help but wonder, Have I met that guy somewhere before?
End of Sakura's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura returned to school and not until she stepped one foot on the ground did they came swarming up toward her. The next instant, she was surrounded by flirty guys. Some were even brave enough to ask her out, but she simply turned them down.
"Uhh! I certainly did not expect this coming." Sakura complained. She spotted Tomoyo, who was also being surrounded by guys, waiting for her under a cherry blossoms tree.
"Wow Sakura! You're already popular!" Tomoyo commented seeing Sakura's stalkers.
"Hey, there's something unsual about you today, since when did you get up early?" Tomoyo asked, raising a brow and giving her the "Eye." Sakura laughed nervously and waved her hands. "It's not what you think Tomoyo! I had a strange dream that woke me up so early."
Tomoyo grinned at Sakura. "mmMMhhmmm... and what is dream about? Was it about some boy?... Just admit it that you're finally getting used to being different." Tomoyo said.
Sakura shook her head violently. "Alright I wasn't telling you the whole story. But the dream is true though. I dreamt about my past and Ryu. Then I woke up early the next morning" Sakura said, settling down on a bench.
"It's weird, I know." she continued.
Not far from where she was seating was Syaoran and his group.
"Hey check it out, It's that Kinomoto girl. She sure looks pretty." one of them commented, loud enough for her to hear. She glared at them and turned back to Tomoyo.
"And Daidouji surely looks pretty too." another one commented, loud enough for Eriol to hear. Eriol turned and glared at him. He also added an additional smack on the head.
"Oww! What did you do that for?!" he complained. Eriol smirked. Syaoran just rolled his eyes from the foolishness of the guys. "Will you guys stop it! Who cares about Kinomoto anyway? Once a dork is always a dork!" he said, crossing his arms. Sakura somehow heard it and sent her shoes flying toward his head. It hit him hard and sent him flying through the air,
"You better shut up Li-JERK!!! Or I'll hit 100 times worse than that, that way, I could break that thick head of yours!" Sakura said, glaring at him. There were sparks flying through the air again as they made eye contact, hitting everybody on the way. It didn't last long though because somebody has interrupted them.
"Li honey!!!! Look what I got you!" a dirty-blonde haired girl jumped up in front of Li and hugged him tightly. It was Lina, now the second hottest girl in school. Sakura is the first one Line second, and Tomoyo, third.
Sakura and Tomoyo rolled their eyes and when Lina wasn't looking, they stuck their tongues out to her.
Lina noticed the two and gave them a dirty look. She walked up in front of Sakura like a mad bull, preparing to charge. "I thought I made it clear that you stay away from Syaoran and that he is MINE!" she yelled.
"I thought I made it clear that I don't want him and that you can have him!" Sakura snapped back. Lina was stepped aback and flipped her hair. "Just stay away from him or else!" she said, running back to Syaoran, who was fleeing from her.
"Ha! She was so and totally scared back then!" Tomoyo blurted out, laughing. Sakura couldn't resist from trying to keep her laughter so she burst into a fit of giggles. Suddenly, Tomoyo's face became worried.
"But, you shouldn't underestimate her, she looks scared as a mouse right now, but once she gathered all her 'followers,' They might gang up on you when I'm not around and who knows what they will do!" Sakura smiled at the great deal of concern her best friend showed to her. She wouldn't be worried about them, but
since Tomoyo was worried about her, she'll stand on her guard in case they might appear when she least expects it.
Suddenly, the young man from earlier appeared on her mind subconciously. He was smiling at her which made her blush a little. She took out the handkerchief from her pocket and held it gently. 'I didn't even have a chance to say thank you to him. Why was he gone so fast? And what does he mean by, 'the last time we met?" Sakura's train of thoughts were interrupted
by the school bell which means they have to go to their respective class. Sakura and Tomoyo gathered up all their stuff and headed towards their class room.
"Class, I have a special surprise for all of you!" announced the teacher, who seemed to be enthusiastic about something. She didn't even care if Syaoran entered the class room late.
"We have a new transfer student who's going to be joining us for the rest of the semester! He came from Hong Kong but he originally lived here when he was young, so It's not a surprise if some of you might know him. Class, this is Ryuki Zhou! (You pronounce Zhou as Zow)
Sakura and Tomoyo's head shot up. "Ryuki Zhou?" they said aloud. The class stared at them in amazement. It's as if both of these girls knew him. The door swung open and in came a boy with crunchy (There goes that mouth watering word again!) jet black hair and blue eyes.
Sakura could feel her face getting hot as she recognized the same guy who offered her his handkerchief. 'Wait a minute, If his name is Ryuki, then, there's a chance that it might be him! the boy in my dreams has the same hair and eye color as he does. Was it a coincidence?' she asked to herself. Ryuki Zhou's eyes drifted towards the same auburn haired girl he met before. ''Ying fa...' he thought.
"Ying fa..." he whispered. Syaoran, who was glaring at the guy because all the girls seemed to be drooling over him, stared at him in amazement when he heard the guy say Ying Fa, and since he is also chinese, he knew it meant Sakura. ''Did he say it on purpose?' Does he and Sakura know each other? And why is Sakura blushing? Could it be that, that...' Syaoran stared horror-struck at the two of them.
"Now where do I put you?" The teacher said, looking for available seats. All the girls' hands shot up in the air and volunteered the seat next to theirs. The teacher smiled when she finally decided on the matter. "Your seat for the rest of the semester is the one besides Kinomoto. Kinomoto, will you please raise your hand so that our new student can see you?" Sakura's hand shot up in the air and Tomoyo smiled happily. Ryuki sat on his seat and turned to look at Sakura.
"Hi, so we meet again" he said, smiling. Sakura blushed furiously and Syaoran's blood started to boil. 'I don't like the way this guy talks to Kinomoto. It's as if they are close friends or something.' he thought. He was gritting his teeth angrily. Sakura, on the other hand, was getting confused. 'Was he refering to our meeting earlier, or when we were still a kid. Besides, I'm not too sure if that's really Ryu-chan.' Sakura thought. Ryuki noticed the necklace dangling on her neck.
"That necklace..." he pointed out. "Do you remember where you got it?" he asked. Sakura held her necklace. "Not really. But I remember a boy giving it to me. It's funny because he has the same name as you. But I'm not really sure If you and him are the same person." Sakura said with a slight of disappointment in her voice.
"Maybe I am, Ying fa" Sakura looked up and smiled happily. Ryu-chan was the only one who called her by that name. "You, you're Ryu-chan!" she cried happily, loud enough for everybody to hear. The teacher looked at her with an arch eyebrow. "Was there something you want to share with us, Miss Kinomoto?" She asked. Sakura blushed and shook her head. "No, sensei. I'm sorry about the disruption. It will never be repeated again." sakura said reassuringly. The teacher stared at her and reverted back to her lesson. Li Syaoran, who heard everything they were talking about,
frowned. 'So, both of them does know each other!' He thought, his jealousy is starting to stir up.
Tomoyo, who had been watching the three, grinned. 'Great! Once Ryuki becomes close to Sakura, Syaoran's jealousy will surely rise! This is where the real fun begins!' Tomoyo told herself as she thought of a new plan. 'This is going to be perfect! It's time to play, Match making!' Tomoyo continued. Her sparkling eyes showed mischief all over it. Eriol who was observing everybody smiled to himself.
"This semester is going to be great!' he told himself.
