This chapter is dedicated to my friend Nikki!

Hope you all like it! On with the story!

Chapter 5

"I'm late!" Sakura yelled at the top of her lungs, throwing on a pair of clothes, and getting ready to go in less then 5 minutes.

Making her way downstairs she quickly pecked her father on the cheek and made for the door way.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Sakura's father called to Sakura, when she was about to slam the door shut.

"No dad, I have no time, I woke up late," and with that said Sakura walked outside to the warm sun.

Sakura, made her way down the street, locking at her wristwatch she found that she had enough time to make it by a minute, if she walked fast.

Picking up her pace, she thought she felt someone behind her, and turned around to see a familiar dark green jaguar pulling up to the side of her, with an even familiar driver.

"Hey Sakura," Syaoran said from the driver side.

"Hi Syaoran," Sakura replied with a smile.

"Need a ride?" Syaoran offered sweetly.

"Um, sure, I guess," Sakura replied getting into the passengers side, "So when did you get this ride Syaoran, cause you had it at the mall"

"I've had this for a week, but it was at the shop yesterday, that's why I was late, also because Meiling wouldn't let me take my limo" Syaoran said rolling him eyes at Meiling's reasoning's.

"You have a Limo?! Wow!" Sakura exclaimed happily.

'I see what she meant now...' Syaoran thought with a smile.

"Well we're here," Syaoran told Sakura.

"Wow thank you Syaoran you saved my butt from being late again." Sakura said with a sweet smile, which he blushed at.

As Sakura and Syaoran climbed out of the car they saw many girls waiting for him, and they were glaring at Sakura.

"Hi Syaoran," the girls who were waiting on him said giggling.

Syaoran smiled to acknowledge their presence, and continued to walk with Sakura to their three waiting friends.

"Hey Sakura, hey Syaoran" Meiling, Eriol, and Tomoyo greeted with smiles on there faces.

"Hey you guys, what's up?" Sakura and Syaoran replied to them.

"We are going through roles in the play today," Tomoyo replied giddily.

"Yeah, we have auditions too, so pick your characters wisely," Eriol said eyeing Sakura and Syaoran.

"There's going to be a play?" Sakura asked confused

"Oh yeah you ran out, yes were going to have a play," Tomoyo stated happily, nearly jumping up and down.

"Are you going to try out for the lead role, Meiling?" Sakura asked Meiling who put on a fake thinking look.

"You Know I really don't think I will, and plus I have my own lines to worry about, I think I'll help out back...but hey you should try out Sakura I'm sure you'll make it," Meiling said with a smile fixing her black hair into her two buns.

"I dunno, I don't think I'll do well," Sakura applied modestly pink evident on her face.

"Nonsense, of course you'll do well!" Eriol said with a contagious smile.

"Really?" Sakura asked a smile creeping to her face

"Of course!" They all said walking into the classroom, when the first bell rang.

"Okay class as we all know there is going to be a play, so I am going to hand out auditioning scripts to everyone, and all you have to do is read a certain line, and I'll pick from there, and if I need too I'll change others to a different role to suit them more." The teacher said handing out scripts to the front of the room, "Also I am making new seating arrangement to where you are in the play."

The class erupted into a bunch of 'cools' and 'whoa looks intresting'

"With that said, I would like to thank, Tomoyo for coming up with the idea, and Naoko for helping to write it up.

As the class began cheering for the two, the teacher asked if anyone wanted to be in the back helping with props, making about 8 kids raise there hands including Meiling and Tomoyo.

About a half an hour of learning the script, the teacher began the auditions.

"Well class times up for today, I'll have roles ready tomorrow, so good luck too you all" the teacher said and dismissed his class.

When the school day was over, the group of five went to the front gate, to wave each other off.

"Well you guys I have to go home and start preparing for costume designs," Tomoyo said waving bye to the other four and walked to the senior parking lot to head for her car.

"Yeah, I have to go too, cause I was assigned to make background props and other set designs," Meiling said walking away with a quick wave.

"Well what about you two, you guys busy?" Sakura asked bummed that her friends had to leave her, stuck with the guys, not that she minded she enjoyed there company a lot even.

"Not that I know of," Syaoran said smiling with a light smile.

"Sure, Sakura we'll have dinner with you," He said as Syaoran and Sakura looked at him like he was crazy.

"How did you know I was going to ask that?" Sakura asked Eriol with a shocked expression.

"I dunno, uh....instinct," Eriol lied...and sadly they both believed him..."Well lets go if we are going."

With that said Eriol turned and headed for Syaoran's car.

"Um...Okay. I'll see you there," Sakura said breaking away from the boys going towards the direction of her home.

A hand reached out and grabbed her wrist making her turn around to meet Syaoran's smiling face.

"Where do you think you're going?" Syaoran asked letting go of her wrist.

"I was just going h-"Sakura mumbled blushing as he cut her off.

"The car is this way; there is no way in hell I'm going to let you walk home, if we are going to the same place," Syaoran said to her now redder face.

"But I don't want to be a burden, its fine, I don't mind walking really," Sakura said shaking her head no.

"No, it isn't fine Sakura, you aren't a burden, I'll be happy to give you a ride, honest now lets go," He said smiling a smile that made Sakura melt into her shoes, while Syaoran grabbed her hand and walked her over to the car.

As they rounded Sakura's street, they were in a nice mellow silence.

Getting out of the car, she walked up to her front door and walked in yelling, "Dad, Touya I'm home!"

'Touya, he's home?' Syaoran winced as her brother's name was spoken.

"Hello Sakura, are your friends over for dinner?" Her father asked walking up to the three.

"Yeah, they are here for dinner tonight that okay?" Sakura asked her father with puppy dog eyes and a pouting bottom front lip.

With a sigh her father agreed letting them in. "Hello again Syaoran, nice to see you, but I don't think we have met before," Sakura's dad indicated Eriol, and Syaoran acknowledged her father with a nod and little bow.

"No, we haven't, I'm Eriol Hiirigaziwa, and Syaoran's cousin," Eriol introduced with a small bow.

"Good job Sakura, you're friends are so well mannered," Her father complemented, "I'll go set the table, you can chat for a bit" and then he walked back into the kitchen.

"So..." Sakura tried lamely to start up a conversation, and as if too make the awkward silence worse, her brother came into the living room where they resided.

"What's he doing here?" Touya asked pointing to Syaoran as if he was a two headed alien, "And who the heck is that?"

"He is staying for dinner, and that's my friend Eriol, now buzz off," Sakura said with a demanding voice.

"Uh no," Touya replied stubbornly, "I wanna watch T.V." And he sat next to Sakura and grabbed the remote from the coffee table next to them, and flipped the T.V. to Jerry Springer which portrayed two fighting siblings.

"I don't want the T.V. on Touya! Turn it off," Sakura growled at him, making him laugh at her.

"I don't need to listen to you, I want it on," Touya replied with just the same amount of force.

Throwing her hands up in defeat, she sighed and called to her dad, "Dad is dinner done?"

"Yeah, it is, can you call everyone into the dining room for me hun?" Her dad asked from behind the wall dividing the kitchen from the living room.

"Come on you guys, dinners ready," Sakura said to the three guys in the living room, and walking into the dining room and took a seat across from where her brother normally sits.

Not even a minute later Eriol and Syaoran came in, Eriol sitting diagonally from Sakura, and Syaoran sitting next to Sakura. And finally Touya cam into the room and sat in his normal spot.

When her dad came in carrying the meal, the wonderful smell filled the room of rice, and chicken.

"Wow this looks wonderful," The teenagers present at the table chimed graciously, and thanking Sakura's father.

When most of the food was done, they fell into an awkward silence, each just staring at one another, until thankfully Eriol broke the silence.

"Yes, Mr. Kinomoto, I am related to Syaoran," Eriol said breaking the long silence.

'What kinda of thing to say was that?' Sakura, Syaoran, and Touya thought at the same exact time.

"Did you just read my mind?" Sakura's father asked with a chuckle.

"I do that sometimes," Eriol said sheepishly, and Eriol and Sakura's father engaged in a conversation of telepathy.

In the meantime, Syaoran, Touya and Sakura still sat in a silence.

"I'm gonna go watch the rest of Jerry Springer," Touya stated, walking out of the room, glaring at Syaoran on the way out.

"I'm sorry about my brother...again, he acts like that sometimes," Sakura apologized, and glared at the seat which Touya once sat.

"Its okay, Meiling always does that all the time, heh" Syaoran said with a laugh, and they slid into a silence once again, but this time a little more peaceful.

"Well I'm going to go outside for a bit, feel free to watch T.V. if you like." Sakura said and when he nodded an okay she excused herself and walked out to the front porch.

Syaoran stood from the table, and walked aimlessly through the interior of the bottom floor, trying to stay clear of the living room.

What he ended up finding was a family room filled with pictures on the wall.

Curiosity got the best of him and he walked up to the wall lined with pictures. They were of Sakura and Touya, growing up.

Examining each of the pictures, he got to more recent day pictures, and saw pictures of Sakura with Tomoyo at the beach, and blushed at their attire, or lack of attire.

'Okay, Syaoran refrain from looking at Sakura!' His mind scolded him and he continued on, looking down the row of pictures, until he found a photo of what looked like Sakura's mother.

'Wow she's Beautiful...like Sakura' Syaoran couldn't help but think as he stared at the picture.

"It's my mother," A soft sweet voice said from behind him, and Syaoran turned to meet the saddened face, but nevertheless smiling face of Sakura.

"What happened to her?" Syaoran couldn't help but say, and almost regretted letting the words slip out of his mouth.

"She passed away long ago, but don't worry, I'm over it, what's done is done, and I know she is happy," Sakura said a smile still evident on her face.

"I'm-"

"Come on Syaoran, we should be heading home, its getting late your mom will flip," Eriol called from the kitchen.

"Okay!" Syaoran called back and looked Sakura in the eyes, "Thanks for inviting us over Sakura," and he gave her a chaste but sweet kiss on the cheek, and walked out of the room.

Heat flushed towards Sakura's cheek as she placed a hand on the side which Syaoran had kissed. She knew it was just a token of thanks, but she couldn't help but think a little more of it.

Well there you have it! See you next time!
