Sakura silently opened her door, and looked through the stair's railing. She watched Eriol and Tomoyo. 'Tomoyo almost looks happy. I thought she hates him.' Sakura glared at Eriol, 'You stole my friend Eriol.' "I'll be right back," Tomoyo went back into the kitchen.

Eriol stood up, moving to the foot of the staircase. "I didn't steal her from you," he stopped at the staircase, "You just, literally pushed her away from you."

"Very funny," Sakura rolled her eyes.

Eriol smiled innocently and joined Tomoyo in the kitchen.

…Syaoran's room…

Syaoran pressed a white towel against his cut. "Damn you Eriol," he growled.

He had a cut right along his right arm from falling on the broken vase. He noticed the doorknob turning bit by bit. He drew out his sword, pointing it to the door. Thinking it was Eriol; he threw his sword at the door. It hit the frame of the door, and he noticed that the scream coming from the other end of the door wasn't Eriol's at all. Syaoran pulled his blade out of the frame and swung the door open. Sakura stood at the door, completely petrified. "Sakura?" Syaoran was shocked.

Sakura gulped, "That was somewhat life threatening," Sakura smiled nervously.

Syaoran grabbed her arm. "Were you trying to get yourself killed?" he demanded, "Why didn't you knock? I thought that you were Eriol."

Sakura felt a warm liquid running down her arm. She wished to look down to see what it was, but at the moment, she was too scared to move. "B-but I did knock. I was just seeing if you were okay," she shivered as Syaoran's anger grew.

He was already furious from the fight, but what was making him angrier? She tried to pull her arm away from his grasp. She felt his grip tighten, and more liquid flowing down her arm. "Listen," he started calmly, "I can take care of myself. You have to be more careful Sakura, because the next time, I might not miss."

Sakura didn't care about what he said. 'I don't have to stay here,' she attempted once more to escape, but he still didn't let go. She looked up at his face; it was getting paler and paler as each moment passed. "Sakura, listen to me. I don't want to lose you," Syaoran was staring right into Sakura's eyes.

Sakura was feeling panicky. She broke eye contact with him, hoping he'd let go of her arm… her arm… it was covered with blood… with Syaoran's blood. "Syaoran! You're bleeding real bad!" she cried.

Syaoran looked down at their arms. They were drench in his blood. He released Sakura's arm, and fell down to his knees. The last thing he heard was Sakura's voice, "Oh God! Syaoran! Tomoyo, Eriol! Please help him!"

…In the kitchen…

"Wasn't that Sakura?" Tomoyo demanded.

"I think so," Eriol rushed to the staircase.

Tomoyo followed him out. Sakura was holding on to Syaoran hand, "Please wake up," Sakura pleaded. She looked down the staircase, "Why are you just standing there? He needs help.

Tomoyo and Eriol ran up the staircase. Eriol searched the linen closet for a towel, while Tomoyo pulled Sakura away from Syaoran. "Are you bleeding too?" Tomoyo examined Sakura's arm.

"No," Sakura replied not taking her eyes off of Syaoran's unconscious body.

Eriol rushed over pressing a towel to the cut.

… Sakura's room…

"He'll be fine Sakura," Tomoyo tried to convince her not to worry.

"But what if he's not okay?" Sakura paced back and forth.

Tomoyo took advantage of this moment. "Sakura. Once he wakes up, you should tell him how you feel, because you never know," Tomoyo advised.

"Why? Is that what happened with you and Eriol?" Sakura stopped in the middle of the room.

"Actually there's a big difference," Tomoyo giggled, "I hated his guts, and he didn't necessarily tell me how he felt."

"You never told me what happened," Sakura sat down on her bed, hugging her pillow.

"Well… We were in the park and I was screaming my head off at him. I kind of lost my words. I was threatening him and then he," Tomoyo paused, and let out a sorrowful sigh, "And then he kissed me."

"Oh, sorry Tomoyo, I didn't mean to make you sad," Sakura apologized.

…Syaoran's room…

Eriol sat in the room listening to what Tomoyo was saying. "The only difference is that he will definitely not leave you," Tomoyo mumbled.

"Tomoyo, you have to forgive him sooner or later," Sakura moaned.

"I don't, and I certainly won't," Tomoyo said sharply.

Eriol's head dropped. "Why on Earth did I leave Tomoeda?" he asked himself.

He listened to the rest of their conversation before Tomoyo decided to go get Nakuru. Eriol observed a hole in his door's frame. "What the heck did you do to my door?" Eriol placed his fingers in the crack.

"I threw my sword in it," he answered half laughing.

Eriol put his hand over the hole. "What happened?" Syaoran asked.

"You fainted," Eriol removed his hand and revealed a completely repaired doorframe.

"Well obviously," Syaoran rolled his eyes.

"Well, while you were asleep, Sakura and Tomoyo made-up," Eriol didn't know what to say.

"Anything else?" Syaoran got off of his bed.

"Eriol! Time to eat!" Nakuru's voice called.

"It's suppertime," Eriol opened the door for Syaoran.

… In the dining room…

The three girls waited for a while. "Where is Master?" Suppi looked down helplessly at his large plate of food, "Go get him girl," he ordered, giving Tomoyo angry stare.

"Spinel!" Eriol stood at the dinning room's door, "Don't I ever catch you speaking to her like that again."

"I apologize Master," Suppi bowed his head.

There was a long silence. Eriol took his seat and began to eat. Sakura continued to sip her drink uneasily. "Where's Syaoran?" Nakuru looked around.

Sakura swallowed the rest of her drink. "I'm going to refill my drink," Sakura got up and left the room.

Once she got into the kitchen, she left her glass on the counter, and buried her face in her hands. 'What's wrong with me? Why am I so worried? I know he's going to be okay,' thought to herself. "Sakura?" Syaoran voice called her name.

Sakura dropped her hands to her side. She grabbed her glass and began to refill it. 'I must be going crazy. I keep hearing his voice.' She shut the water off. "Are you okay?" his voice continued.

Sakura turned to leave, but then she saw Syaoran standing behind her. "Sakura, I have something to tell you," Syaoran seemed to be having difficulty with what he was about to say.

"Y-yes?"

…In the dining room…

Eriol stopped eating. He listened to Sakura and Syaoran's thoughts. 'What is he going to say to me?' Sakura wondered. 'God! What am I doing? There's no way that she loves me!' Syaoran screamed at himself.

"What is going on in there?" Eriol whispered.

"Where?" Tomoyo asked.

"Syaoran and Sakura are in the kitchen," everyone looked at Eriol.

Nakuru grabbed Suppi by the tail. "May we be excused, Eriol?" she asked.

Eriol nodded his head, and Nakuru dragged Suppi out of the room. "What's going on?" Tomoyo questioned.

"He's going to finally confess to her."

… In the kitchen…

For once, Syaoran really looked insecure. Sakura waited, but he didn't speak. 'Say you love me. Say that you want to be with me,' she begged. "I…" Syaoran stopped to consider what he was about to say.

'No, she doesn't love me! Forget it. Right after this vacation, I'm going to follow my mother's wishes. I'll get mother to promise me to another desperate girl and I'll never go back to Japan again,' Syaoran looked down at his feet, "I'm going back home after we leave England."
