Everything was in black and white as Syaoran was running down the street. It was pouring rain and he was soaked to the bone, but he knew he had to find his destination. There was only one problem though: He didn't know what exactly was his destination. Finally, a figure appeared a little in the distance running as far away as she could. He yelled out something, but he heard nothing. It was as if his whole world was a silent movie.
He eventually caught up with the figure, having the advantage of being able to run faster, and grabbed her shoulders, lightly pressing her to the wall. To Syaoran's unconscious surprise, the owner to the shoulders he was holding onto was that of his best friend, Sakura Kinomoto. Once again, no words came out as his lips began to move, and he watched as tears began to form in her eyes and fell down her cheeks, blending into the rain. Tears formed in his eyes, but did not allow them to be released. After saying his speech that he would never be known what it was about, he pulled Sakura against his body, laying his head on her shoulder, holding onto her for dear life. Silently he continued to talk, until Sakura's mouth opened and finally something made sense.
"SHUT UP!!!"
"SHUT UP!!!" Syaoran bolted up in bed as those two words were blasted into his left ear. Sakura sat up and slammed her snooze button. "Five more minutes..."
"Oh yeah, she says that quietly." He mumbled as he slowly rose out of bed and looked at the clock. 5:30 a.m. "Sakura..." School didn't start till eight. They had a good hour of sleep they could do. Since he was already –abruptly- woken up, he may as well have breakfast and get an early start on the morning. When he was about to walk out of the room, he hears Sakura's voice.
"Syaoran..."
Syaoran turned at hearing his name and walked toward the sleeping girl in the bed and sat next to her. "What Sakura?"
"Oh Syaoran..." He blinked. "Oh! It's so big and it's just the right size!" His eyes widened at hearing that and, not realizing it, fell off the bed from shock. What –exactly- was she calling big and just the right size? "Of course I'll marry you!" Syaoran then fell anime style. So much for what his idea was...
Syaoran sat at the dining room table with three plates sitting on the table. One full with chocolate chip pancakes, one with three lying on them, and once completely clean. He smiled in content as he bit into on of his pieces he cut out to eat. Suddenly, loud footsteps could be heard echoing from the hallway, where Sakura emerged, her once neat pigtails ruffled, her pajamas askew, and her robe thrown on, untied.
"Morning!" He welcomed.
"Morning..." Sakura's eyes then set on the chocolate chip pancakes. "CHOCOLATE CHIP!" she exclaimed as she ran to the table and began to pile her plate.
Syaoran sweat dropped. "You know, you were talking in your sleep again this morning..."
"Oh really? Was I begging you to let me bare your children again?" Sakura asked in a joking and teasing tone.
He smiled. "No, it was about something being so big and just the right size..."
She paused from her menacing eating to look at her best friend. Then she coughed. "I don't know what dream world you're living in... One minute something –AHEM- is big and just the right size, and then I'm asking to bare your children... Syaoran, do you need some confidence, or some lotion perhaps?" she asked while placing her hand on his arm in a comforting manner, all the while a teasing smile on her face.
"Hey!" he exclaimed, flinging some chocolate chip pancakes at her.
"Hey, no food fights in my house unless you're going to clean it up!"
Nadeshico, Sakura's mother, exclaimed as she entered the dining
area in a violet pant and jacket suit with a sapphire blue blouse. Her gray-violet hair was put up in a tight clip, with bangs reaching her dark brows. Black eyeliner surrounded her beautiful emerald eyes that Sakura had luckily inherited and her eyelashes where longer and more full thanks to her mascara. She walked into the connecting kitchen and poured some coffee into a mug.
"Sorry mom..." Both Sakura and Syaoran replied.
Syaoran's P.O.V.:
Woah is Sakura's mom scary! She's pretty, but pretty strict to top it off. She can be nice, but during the week that she has non-stop meetings, watch out! That's why I'm lucky enough to stay with them during her mother's worst week. I really feel bad for my best friend. She goes through half a month of bad moods... IF you get what I mean.
"Sorry Mom..." Sakura and I say in unison. Since I've grown up with this woman, she's like my second mother. So, I call her mom. Although, I do miss when she was a model and less stressed.
Nadeshiko smiled. "So Syaoran, are Yelan and your father okay? I feel so bad that I haven't caught up with them!"
"Yes they're fine. By the way, thank you for letting me stay here."
"Oh, it is no problem at all! You're like a son to me!" Like a son! Pa! If only she knew the kind of thoughts running through my head about her daughter right now, who, according to her, should be like my sister, although we are best friends.
Sakura smiled nervously. I gulped. Had she noticed the flash of my emotion at that statement at that moment? "Well! Time to get ready for school! Come on Syaoran!"
"But, I'm-"
"Now!" I obeyed. I guess the woman really is the neck... She grabbed my hand and we entered her room. I watched as she entered her walk in closet, then exited in her school uniform, only there was something different.
"Why are you wearing your black skirt? You always wear your white one." Our uniforms are interchangeable. The girls can wear Black or white skirts, and the boys... Hey! The boys don't get special treatments! Why is that?
"Oh, no particular reason..."
Wait, did she reply to my first question or the one I said in my head? I watched as I saw her kneel down to grab her backpack and I got more view of her thigh. I gulped. What the hell was wrong with me? She's my best friend! I've known her since I was little! Our parents had us take baths together when we were little because we were so close we wouldn't separate. Maybe I can not separate myself from her and I can shower with- Ack! Bad thought! Bad thought!
"Are you ready?" She asked. I shook my head to get the bad thoughts out of my head. "Geez! You told me you were ready! You don't usually like to wait until the last minute!"
Why is she so complaining today? "No, sorry, I'm ready, let's go."
Sakura's P.O.V.:
Oh god! I hope I didn't blow up too bad at Syaoran! This is sooo bad! My other Best Friend, Tom, decided to pay me a visit today. I'm being sarcastic, that is not thy best, not even a friend! Gr... That's why I'm wearing a black skirt today, you can never be too sure when a-
"Ow!" I stop my walking into school and grab my stomach.
"Are you okay?" Syaoran asked me. He looked concerned. I hid my pain as to not worry him and smiled, nodding.
"Yeah, just a little pain, I think I ate to fast."
"I always tell you to eat slower, but do you listen?"
"Nope! And never will!" I smiled again. He fell for it!
"Sakura! Syaoran!" I heard from behind me. I looked and saw Tomoyo and Eriol walking towards us.
"Hey guys..." Syaoran replied.
I leaned over to Tomoyo and whispered into her ear. "Tomoyo, do you have any midol?"
Tomoyo looked at me, then began to laugh, evilly. "Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho!!! Poor Syao-kun!!! In fact, I do!" Tomoyo went into her backpack and pulled out the bottle and shook it, but no rattle came. "Huh?" She opened the lid and looked inside. "Whoops, sorry Saku-chan, I don't have any!"
"Midol?" Both Eriol and Syaoran asked, raising their eyebrows. "Stop that!" They pointed at each other.
"Uhhh, I just have a headache, and Midol could help, but it seems like Tomoyo's all out, ha ha ha, how funny."
Suddenly, my mortal enemy appeared in sight with her numerous groupies. Aya Akechi. I saw Syaoran staring at her and it made me upset. She wasn't the kind of girl he should be with. I'm not saying I should, but knowing what kind of person she is, I KNOW she's not good for Syaoran. She has had sex with some of her one week boyfriends in the shower rooms, and then once getting money and riches from them, then dumps them for someone else. She only goes out with people for things, not for love.
I sighed as the bell rang. "It's only Tuesday and already I'm worn out..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Positive?"
"Syaoran! Can you drop it?"
"Sorry! You just don't look very good..." He looked down.
We were walking to my apartment. I sighed after hearing his statement. I hate it when he can read my emotions! In truth, I was in major pain. I get very bad cramps the first couple of days, and the first day is the worst. I felt like I was being torn into pieces little by little the whole day. But, of course, I'm all out of any kind of pain killer that's okay for me to take, and couldn't ask Syaoran to go get those things for me; even if he was my best friend. He's a boy! He probably wouldn't understand! And I couldn't go, because I have no money and it hurts just to walk a few blocks to my apartment, let alone a mile!
Syaoran's P.O.V.:
Something's wrong with her, I know it. She looks like she's in major pain, but she doesn't want to tell me. What could be wrong with her though? I watched as she opened the door and let us in. I sighed as I sat down on the couch.
"Sakura, come here..." Sakura obeyed and sat next to me. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders and she laid her head on my shoulder. "What's wrong?"
She looked up at me and smiled. When she replied, her voice squeaked. When that happens, that's a major sign that she's lying. "I'm fine! I'm going to get some juice, you want some juice?"
She stood up and walked to the kitchen. I heard her open the cupboard, take out two glasses, then walk over to the kitchen. Suddenly, I heard the glass shatter against the floor. I ran into the kitchen to see her kneeling down on the ground, glass and water everywhere. She was panting hard and I could REALLY tell she was in pain. Not even bothering to think of how much leg I could see with her in that position, I ran to her side.
"Honey, my water just broke..." In a time that she was in pain and had some cuts on her leg from the shattered glass she can still find time to make a joke.
I laughed. "Come on..." I picked her up bridal style and carried her to the couch. I went and got peroxide, cotton balls, and a few band-aids. I began to clean up her wounds, then, I looked at her. "Sakura... Please, tell me, what's wrong?" I leaned over to look her in the eyes, causing my position to go in between her legs.
"N-Nothing..." She said and then she panted hard. "The bottle of water slipped out of my hand and I got cut, that's what hurts..."
"Sakura..." I moved in more to where my face was mere inches from hers. "You've been in pain all day, something's wrong." Slowly, her emerald eyes began to entrance me.
"I... I..." She didn't get to finish as my lips reached hers and lightly kissed her on the lips.
Sakura's P.O.V.:
Oh. My. God! We're kissing! His lips are on mine! I should not tell him things from now on, I get kisses to get me talking, but I don't mind. Unfortunately, his kiss didn't make me completely forget about my painful craps. One decided to attack me in the middle of the kiss, and I whimpered in pain. He backed away.
"I-I'm sorry..." I looked up and saw him blushing.
Unbeknownst to me, I was as red as an apple. "I-It's okay..." I whimpered again.
"Please... Tell me what's wrong?" he asked again, puling a loose strand of hair behind my ear. I sighed as I looked at him. Should I...?
Syaoran's P.O.V.:
This has got to be the most embarrassing thing I've ever done. EVER. I went from kissing my best friend (I'm not complaining about that, though.) to going to the drug store. I walked to the front of the store and set down the items Sakura had asked for. Luckily, it was a female cashier. She looked up at me and smiled.
"Good afternoon."
"Good afternoon." I replied. I watched as she looked down at the bottle of Midol, and other random feminine things that Sakura may need for this time. "Uh, this isn't for me or anything... It's for..."
"Yeah, I understand. I think it's really sweet that you went out to get these things for your girlfriend..."
I smiled. I liked the sound of that. "Yeah, yeah, my girlfriend."
"Have you thought of getting some chocolate for her?"
I looked at her strangely. "Chocolate? Why?"
"Believe me, you'll be happy if you get it now." I shrugged. I looked next to me and saw the many chocolates. I grabbed two each of every one of the candies Sakura likes. "Wow, I wish I had a boyfriend like you..."
I smiled and looked down. "Thanks..."
"That'll be $22.43."
WOW! "Oh, okay, um... Here. Keep the change." I gave her $23 dollars and left the drug store. I ran all the way to Sakura's apartment. I knew she was in worse pain than when I left her. I knew it. When I finally reached the apartment I heard her loud whimpers and I quickly opened the door. "I'm here, I'm here." I quickly got her two pills of Midol and a glass of water.
She looked up at me with teary eyes. "Thank you..."
I wiped her tears away. "You don't need to thank me. I want to take car of you. Tell me the next time you need something."
The rest of the night we did the same routine, only we had a marathon of chocolates and movies. Sakura wore a pair of sweatpants and a big t-shirt, while I wore a white t-shirt and my boxers. We cuddled on the couch and spent the rest of the day just lying there. Eventually it became ten o' clock, and I carried the sleeping Sakura to bed. I looked at her as the image of me kissing her flashed in my mind, and then some scenes from my dream. Why were all of my feelings for her changing? Could I possibly be falling in love with her? Am I in love with her?
