Last Chapter:

"Good afternoon, parents and career, teachers and all pupils. Before we head to Christmas break, our school choir and drama club has concocted a special Christmas assembly. There will be acting, singing and gift giving. For our first act, we'll have our choir sing the reprise of 'Welcome Christmas'."

As the choir finished singing, many people clapped for them. Syaoran was still staring at the mysterious girl. Suddenly she looked up and met his gaze, Syaoran felt hypnotized by her mesmerizing jewels but her eyes somewhat held intense pain.

Syaoran waited until the curtain opened up one more time. He saw the principal again, now he announced that there was to be a solo by someone of the name 'Sakura Kinomoto'. Syaoran didn't want to see who it was, as soon as the curtain opened up he lit up a firework and throw it but what he didn't see is that Sakura Kinomoto was the girl he had his eyes on. The firework exploded and the girl was so shook she fainted.

Syaoran's eyes went wide when he saw that it was her. The other guys were laughing and the girl sitting next to Duo rushed to the stage to look if Sakura was alright, paramedics were called. Syaoran was just so shocked; he just couldn't believe what kind of stupid thing he had just done. The guys stopped laughing after a long time and they too realized that maybe the girl had some condition, that maybe they had just cost her life.

The principle pointed to Duo.

"What does he do?"

"Ummm, Comedy club."

He then pointed to Kitsune.

"Fashion club."

Then Ryuu.

"Choir and singing club."

Yamazaki.

"Story telling club."

Eriol.

"Drama."

And finally Syaoran.

"Choir and singing club."

"Has your heart ever beaten so fast to the point where you thought it would break through your ribs and fall out? Have you ever felt so much fear that all you wanted to do was die and not feel the pain anymore? Well I have and I still wish for death to claim me and erase the pains from my body. I've even tried wishing on a star but it didn't work. Apparently wishing on a star has no effect whatsoever. Either that or they hate me like he does."

 #

Sakura walked through the corridors of Seiju High, after a moment she stopped. When she stopped, six boys stopped as well. She giggled as she heard some of them groan as they hit their head on another one's back. She walked over to Duo and showed him the Comedy club's door. He looked at it before turning back to her and smiling. She smiled back and he went into the room.

The seven became six, and time after time the only people left were: Sakura, Ryuu and Syaoran. Sakura entered a room, Ryuu and Syaoran followed suit. Ryuu looked everywhere; he became relentless as he saw all the musical instrument and books. He couldn't stop asking questions about what they exactly did in the club.

Sakura laughed once again and Syaoran couldn't help but look at her. 'How can someone be so damn happy?' he thought 'She could have died yesterday and yet there she is laughing and being so happy.' Sakura looked at Syaoran and smiled. He didn't smile back, just looked at her and then away. She was puzzled, she thought that maybe she had done something to make him feel uncomfortable. She frowned and walked towards him.

"Are you ok?"

Syaoran looked at her, "Yea, I'm fine."

Sakura turned and looked around the room, "So can you sing?"

Syaoran shrugged. Sakura sighed, took his arm and started to lead him away. As she pulled him, she motioned a girl with long raven hair dyed purple on some strands and beautiful amethyst eyes. She took Ryuu's arm and leaded him away. Ryuu started to protest but then flirted with the girl. She shook her head slightly glaring at him.

Sakura led Syaoran up to a mini stage and gave him a micro; the other girl did the same to Ryuu. Ryuu felt at his element and started singing 'Colourful', winking at the girls occasionally. Sakura looked at Syaoran who was just standing on the stage like a stone; she got up the stage herself and started singing 'The Power of One' by Donna Summer. Ryuu stopped singing and looked at her, everyone stopped whatever they were doing and looked as Sakura started singing. Her angelic voice filled the air, even when she sung with force it still filled everyone with serenity.

When she finished everyone clapped and she smiled, looking as if she was in some sort of trance. She had closed her eyes when she was singing. She looked at Syaoran and gave him the micro back.

"Please sing something."

Syaoran looked at her, he saw hope in her eyes. He sighed and held the micro to his mouth and started singing 'Behind Blue Eyes' by Limp Bizkit. Sakura was absolutely dazed; Syaoran's voice was deep and beautiful. She looked at him and immediately thought about him, about the one who had encouraged her to develop her talent. She smiled at Syaoran and her mind drifted off, off to everything, off to them, off to what would have happened if.........

"SAKURA!!!"

She jumped in surprise and saw everybody looking at her. She laughed nervously and looked around blushing about a thousand shades. She stuttered a quick apology and ran out the room. She went in the toilets where she knew she was safe. She sighed and found herself shaking, she started taking deep breath. Sakura knew what to do, she always did. She put a hand in her pocket and started to look for something. When she'd found it she sighed again but this time with relief now all she had to do was..................

##

Duo looked around; everyone was going around pretty much talking and not giving a damn about him. He sighed and waited, and waited and waited. He sighed again, he had waited too long, he was used to being the centre of attention and now no one was paying attention to him. He groaned and sat on a chair near by and waited again. He waited until a girl looked at him with icy eyes as if she was going to kill. Duo recognised her to be the girl he sat next to when he knew that Syaoran was mad at him the day before, he smiled at her but she glared.

"Ok, what did I do? Am I sitting on your chair cos if I am then I can find another one or something? You have beautiful eyes by the way."

The girl slapped him across his face, "That's for almost killing my best friend. Name's Hilde Scheiberg and if you try it again I'm personally going to kill you. I am not a comedian, only one of the helpers so don't even try to joke around with me mister! And don't try flirting with me either because I will not take it!"

After her little speech, Hilde turned her heels and went to help a girl fit her costume. Duo was stomped, shocked, whatever the word was to express his surprise. Never had a girl slapped him in his life. Never had a girl ever rejected him either. He liked her, a lot. She was all he wanted from a one and she had spunk. He set it his mission to win that girl's heart. 'Great, now I sound like Heero!' he thought.

##

Kitsune was bored. Everyone was doing a certain job and the girl who had been assigned to show him around was gloating like crazy. She was a bubbly blond who apparently was one of the models of the fashion club. Her name was Amanda Lawson; she was blond with blue eyes. To Kitsune's eyes she was the typical idiotic, ditsy and popular girl of the school. Oh how much he'd give to get away from her.

"I think that's enough drooling Amanda."

Kitsune mentally thanked his saviour who just happened to be a girl with short silvery blue hair and matching silver watery eyes and yet she didn't seem to be crying. Her lips were of a light pink and seemed so damn kissable. She was a petite girl but she still seemed sophisticated. She smiled at Kitsune who was dazed at her exquisite beauty.

"As I was saying Amanda, Tomoyo is waiting for you or have you already forgotten that she was meant to measure you again since you seem to be getting down a size every week. And don't forget that she's supposed to run to the drama club. Or maybe you've already forgotten that she goes to three clubs. You seem to forget so many things. Oh yeah and don't forget that you have to-"

Amanda groaned and started walking away, "Alright, alright I'm going!! Sheesh!"

The girl giggled and presented herself to Kitsune, "Tima Maima Tsumasen, it's nice to meet you. You must be Kitsune Hanatori. Now I'm being nice to you but don't expect that from the others especially Tomoyo Daidouji. I would say stay away from her but you can't since you're going to replace a male model that left the school recently and she will need to take your measure. Just try and not say anything or else she'll have your head. Is there anything else you need to know?"

Kitsune blinked, "Why does she already hate me? She hasn't even met me yet."

Tima turned around. They had been walking all during the time she was talking. Her eyes shone with sincerity. "Sakura Kinomoto is a very popular girl though she may not know it. People love her because of her care-free nature and kindness. Tomoyo Daidouji has been her best friend ever since they were babies; Sakura is like a sister to her. You may not understand but to many people Sakura is a major icon in this school. You may not know that people are actually after you for hurting her either so I suggest that you watch your back Hanatori Kitsune."

With that she showed him were Tomoyo does her work and went away quite upset. Kitsune looked down, it was the first time he'd felt this guilty. He sighed when suddenly the same girl that had been in the choir showing Ryuu entered with a pin in her mouth. She looked at Kitsune for a brief moment before motioning him to a stool.

He got on the stool and stood still whilst she started taking his measured. He tried moving to see what she was doing but she kept positioning him into the right position. He kept doing the same thing again and again until Tomoyo got tired of it.

"STOP MOVING!!"

Kitsune instantly stopped.

"IF YOU DO NOT STOP MOVING THEN I WILL NEVER FINISH IN TIME YOU IMBECILE!!"

When she was sure that Kitsune wouldn't move again she continued what she was doing. Kitsune didn't move again, he was too afraid of her. After a moment of quietness she finally finished. Kitsune made a slight movement but she didn't say anything. He sighed and got off the stool, he tapped Tomoyo on her shoulder.

She turned around, "Yes?"

Kitsune gulped, "You're going to the Drama room right?"

She raised an eyebrow, "And?"

"Can I come? Please."

Tomoyo humphed and turned arranging all the measurement papers she had used.

Kitsune sighed.

"Wait for me outside."

Kitsune smiled and got out of Tomoyo's 'office'.

"Did you know that stories were invented in medieval times when someone was about to be executed. The person who was being executed had to tell a story as a second chance and if the King thought it was good then he'd be a servant but if it was bad then he'd have to die right away. OWW!! THAT HURTS"

Yamazaki caressed the spot where the violent Chiharu had hit him. The girl went around with a magical mallet in her cleavage. When Yamazaki had arrived he had started telling lies and, when Chiharu had enough, she had decided to hit him in the head hard with her grand mallet. Yamazaki looked at Chiharu, she was beautiful, the spunky kinda beautiful. Her brown hair was braided into two braids and her eyes were of a sparkling brown.

She had showed him around and now decided to keep an eye on him and his stories. Yamazaki didn't mind but he didn't seem to learn his lesson since he kept telling lies to everyone he met. Some of them didn't even speak to him, but that wasn't because of his stories, it was because of the previous night. In his mind, Yamazaki had decided that he'd go with the other guys to apologies to Sakura Kinomoto. He sighed and opened his mouth but Chiharu had already beaten him to it.

"Don't you even try telling lies again."

Yamazaki, smiled. He was going to like this club.

"So fair and foul a day I have not seen. –sigh- can I not do Macbeth, especially if I have to play Macbeth. I know I've done something horrible so why should I play someone horrible again. Please, at least let me be Banquo? Or Macduff? Please?"

Eriol was pleading for his role to be changed. He was currently Macbeth on the play they were revising. Eriol liked it a lot, especially if it was a play from his original country, all mighty England. Everyone around sighed, first he said he wanted to be Banquo, then he said Macbeth and now he was going back to Banquo again. They all groaned and said whatever at the same time, thanking the gods that the play was not to be played for a long time.

Kitsune and Tomoyo entered the room as they re-started playing again. Tomoyo looked at Eriol with a certain glint in her eyes. He seemed cute in her point of view although he had hurt her kawaii Sakura-chan. She kept her gaze on him as he said his line, he was a natural. Tomoyo noticed that his eyes seemed to glow as he played the part of Banquo. Kitsune noticed the way Tomoyo looked at Eriol. She might hate him for what they did that night but she still seemed to admire him in a certain way.

When they finished the scene, Kitsune and Tomoyo clapped. Eriol turned and gave a V sign to Kitsune and a charming smile to Tomoyo whose blush didn't go unnoticed by him. He grinned and got off the stage. He walked towards and was ready to say something when a cry of what seemed to be surprise filled the air.

"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"

Tomoyo giggled and ran towards the direction of the scream, Kitsune and Eriol at her heels. Sakura was on her buttocks on the floor, cutely pouting. Tomoyo was laughing her head off and she stopped looking more closely before starting again. Underneath Sakura's bottom was a rather confused Syaoran. The two other boys started to laugh as well, using each other for support. Sakura was heavily blushing; she got up as fast as possible. So fast that she was little dizzy at first. After getting herself together she glared at Tomoyo and the two other boys who just kept laughing harder. Syaoran got up from the floor; he walked up to Eriol and Kitsune and hit them both on the head.

"Shut up!"

Eriol and Kitsune immediately shut themselves up. Their faces, however, were red from keeping their laughter in. After a while, Sakura couldn't help herself but laugh. She exploded, surprising everyone with her merry laugh. She had to bend over, now crying whilst laughing at the same time. Syaoran glared at her, as if it wasn't enough from hearing his friends laugh now he had to hear a complete stranger, well maybe not stranger, laugh too. And she was part of the accident too!

Tomoyo whispered a soft 'kawaii' whilst taping Sakura with a camera that came from God knows where. Where did the camera come from? Syaoran shook his head in exasperation; Sakura had stopped laughing and was now wiping a tear from the corner of her eye.

Syaoran looked at her, "Are you finished now?"

Sakura smiled, "Yes I am. Gomen nasai for falling onto you Li-san. I really didn't mean it you know."

Syaoran grunted and started walking away. Eriol and Kitsune were at his heels. Sakura looked at Syaoran with a gentle look. Her eyes sparkled with an unexplainable happiness. Syaoran was a challenge for her but she determined herself that she would make him her friend no matter what. Smiling softly to herself she started thinking of something else. She gave Tomoyo a look and they both sighed, as they started to walk away themselves.

### After School

"So, how was your day Duo?"

The trouble maker gang had regrouped after a day full of 'fun'. The school was almost empty except for the extra curricular students. They have dedicated their lives to what they loved most, whatever it was. T could be singing, fashion, drama or story telling. The trouble makers were here for one reason, to make it up to the girl they could have killed. Of course they still asked themselves why she had bothered at all and all had learned a thing about her, somehow.

Duo put his hands on the back of his head, "It was great. Met a girl ya know, she's a cutie and she's feisty. She's annoyed with me though, but that'll change once she realizes how cute and great the Shinigami is."

The others shook their heads at the Shinigami arrogance. Sometime it was too much for them. Thankfully Syaoran was there and with a whack of his hand the Shinigami was on the floor face down and slightly groaning. They laughed as Duo got up with a sour face. He was shooting daggers at Syaoran, that was until Syaoran gave him his amazing glare of death which made Duo whimper in fright. The guys laughed once again and all Duo could do was sit down and look upset.

Duo turned to Kitsune, "How was your day?"

Kitsune gave everyone a mysterious smile, "It was fine, got along with one person in the club. She was pretty cool, especially when she got a drooling preppy off my back. You should have seen it, it was mesmerizing. What about you Ryuu?"

Ryuu looked as if he had been in heaven, "I don't know where the singing club has been hiding for all this time but now that it has found me I will make sure that it never escapes me."

Syaoran grunted, "He had a great time, you guys should have seen him. He was hoping all around the room looking at everything and flirting with every girl. It was embarrassing to see."

Ryuu smirked at Syaoran, "Hey, I'm not the one who was dragged by Sakura- sama."

Eriol gave Ryuu a puzzled look, "Why do you call her Sakura-sama?"

Ryuu smiled, "Because I respect her. She has a beautiful voice you know, it's even better than mine. She sang so well that it was as if even the birds stopped singing just to listen to her. I think that everyone in the room were holding their breaths just so nothing would break the way she made everyone feel. What did you think Syaoran?"

Syaoran thought for a minute, he didn't wan to answer the question. He didn't want to admit that she actually sounded good to him, just like the previous night. He wondered what her voice would have been like if they didn't interrupt her at the assembly. Syaoran then remembered her eyes. They hold a feeling that even Syaoran couldn't bring a name to. It was a feeling between depression, sadness and loneliness. And why did she act so happy? Syaoran knew that she really wasn't, that she was hiding something. He sight and got up from his chair, his friends who had been waiting for an answer looked at him with surprised looks. He didn't say anything, just started to walk away.

Syaoran kept on walking down the street, he walked, still thinking about the emerald eyed beauty. He was trying to figure what could be wrong with her. He only knew her for two days and yet his mind was filled with endless thoughts about her. Thoughts about every single inch of her body, thoughts about her voice, her smile and her laughter. He had thoughts about the way she talked and walked. About the way she had laughed to the point of crying. About the way she seemed so damn cute. About the way her hair seemed lighter when the sun reflected itself on it. He thought about the sweet smell of cherry blossoms that surrounded her. Yes, Syaoran had noticed all these things and it seemed kind of scary to him.

Syaoran looked at the sky, then at his surroundings and realized he was in the poor parts of the city. He looked around, not knowing which way to go when he noticed a flock of auburn hair slowly walking towards what seemed to be a very dangerous man. He got closer to spy on them, he didn't want to spy but who knew what could happen. He hid behind a dustbin and looked as Sakura started talking to the man.

"Konnichiwa Ikira-san. My brother sent me."

Ikira-san nodded and extended his hand as if demanding for something. Sakura got a little stack of money from her pockets and put it in his hands. Ikira-san counted the money and smiled, he gave Sakura white powder stocked in a small plastic. Sakura sighed, obviously not happy.

Ikira smiled and patted her on the back, "Tell Touya it's nice doing business with him. Anyway, how you holding up little blossom?"

Sakura smiled, she might not like the idea of her brother and drugs but she didn't mind the dealer. "I'm fine, no offence but I hope Touya will come out of this habit."

Ikira laughed, "I hope so too little blossom. Now you should go home, it's not safe around here."

Sakura nodded and waved at him as he started to walk away. When he was totally out of sight, her smiled disappeared as she started to walk towards the dustbin. Syaoran started to freak, he looked for a way to escape from Sakura when it seemed that it was too late. He closed his eyes, waiting for her to scream at him, even though it didn't seem to be in her nature. She got closer, and closer. She finally arrived at the dustbin and smiled at the sight of her discovery.

"Gotcha." She murmured.
