And for the rest of you… HAPPY NEW YEAR!! XD


Sakura looked at him, worrying about his sudden mood change. "Anyways, um, this is a note from Li-san for you."

Sakura handed him the note, bowed and quickly sped out of the kitchen, muttering some excuse.

Syaoran watched her go. He hardly knew her and here he was, mourning her absent presense.

Sure, she had lived in his house for three years but was he expected to know her? Nuh-huh.

But… Syaoran's mind turned over the image of her smiling face. Maybe he should get to know her better…


Snow Becomes Spring by Strawberry Promises
Chapter Six: Pink Bouquets
Sakura hugged her bouquet of flowers as she rushed into the house searching for a vase. When she had finished picking her flowers, it had started to rain.

She was out in the garden, after given a day off and had spent the morning, lovingly picking a beautiful arrangement of flowers. She meant to put them in her room.

Sakura hurried into the kitchen and asked for a small vase.

Miyako gave her one after commenting on the flowers that Sakura had picked. She thanked her and smiled prettily.

"I've always loved flowers." Sakura said, as an after thought.

Miyako smiled. "What are your favorites?"

A light seemed to glow from the girl. "I love Sakura blossoms and Nadeshikos, but I like any pink flower." Sakura laughed lightly.

"My favourite colour is pink."

Miyako nodded. "Many young girls like that colour."

Sakura nodded as well. "Yes, but most of my friends are all into blues and purples. They think me childish for liking pink."

The cook waved her hand. "Don't worry about it. Pink is a very nice colour."

Sakura laughed again. She began to arrange her flowers in her vase and smiled to Miyako.

"Thank you for the vase, I have to be going now."

Miyako nodded and smiled. "It's no problem."

Sakura waved at her friend and walked out of the door, cradling her vase and flowers.

Syaoran was walking into the kitchen for a late breakfast and happened to bump into her.

Of course, the vase went flying.

Sakura gasps as the water was dumped out by the force of gravity and came splattering down on… who else? Syaoran-kun. But he did manage to catch the vase.

"Gomen nasai, Syaoran-kun, I wasn't watching where I was going and I bumped into you and I spilled all the water on your and I'm so, so, so, sorry!" Sakura bowed repeatedly.

He sputtered. His hair was plastered down to his head and a flower petal was stuck to his nose. An ill-landed daisy was caught between his ear.

Sakura couldn't help it. With a sight like that, how could someone not laugh?

"I'm glad you find it amusing." Syaoran spat.

She giggled and reached out. Sakura plucked the daisy from his ear and twirled it in her finger.

Syaoran pouted cutely and with a slight smile, took the daisy from Sakura and placed it behind her ear.

He ran a hand through his hair and took the petal off his nose. "I think that looks better, doesn't it?"

Sakura didn't know if he was referring to himself, or to her.

She blushed and nodded.

"Oh, that's right, you wanted some breakfast, right?" Sakura said, trying to make the blush go away. "I'll make you some, don't worry. Just let me clean up this mess."

Flowers of every arrangement were piled across the once clean floor.

Syaoran sighed. "I'll help you."

Sakura's eyes went wide. "No, no, it's fine, just, go to the kitchen and wait, I'll only be a minute."

Syaoran shook his head stubbornly. "It's partly my fault. I have to help."

Sakura smiled slightly. Just days before, she had witnessed him being so cruel and mean-spirited. What had caused the change in him?

Syaoran noticed her staring and gruffly said, "Someone's going to tell my mother, and she's going to make me clean it up anyways."

The girl opposite him nodded and smiled again. Whoever, or whatever it was, they were going a good job.

Soon, Sakura and Syaoran had cleaned up the floor and had it looking better than before.

Sakura rushed into the kitchen and put on an apron.

"What would you like to eat?" She asked.

"Oh," Syaoran said. He had completely forgotten about breakfast.

"Pancakes, waffles? Bacon, toast, eggs?" Sakura suggested.

Syaoran looked baffled. "Uh, pancakes… and… um, a muffin?" He asked.

Sakura nodded enthusiastically. "What kind of muffin?" She brought out a tray of freshly baked muffins.

"Miyako bakes them every morning." She said.

Syaoran nodded. "I know." He chose a chocolate chip muffin.

Sakura noticed this and smiled. "You like chocolate?"

Syaoran nodded again, biting into his muffin.

"Should I make you chocolate chip pancakes?" She teased.

Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Whatever." And he bit into the muffin again.

Sakura got all the ingredients together to make pancakes.

"How long will this take?" Syaoran asked her.

"Um, maybe around half an hour," Sakura answered. (AN: again, I don't know if Sakura's fast, or slow.)

He nodded. "I'll be right back."

Sakura watched as Syaoran walked out of the door.

And then watched as he came back to grab his muffin.

"Stop laughing at me." He mumbled through the muffin crumbs.

Sakura giggled and wondered where Syaoran-kun was going.

She shrugged and got back to work.

A little while later, Sakura was placing freshly baked pancakes on a plate and set it out on the table. Syaoran wasn't back yet.

Sakura put away the apron and put out glasses of milk and forks and knives and maple syrup.

She had made chocolate chip pancakes, along with regular ones.

Seeing as Syaoran-kun wasn't back yet, Sakura decided to just start eating without him.

She cut into the first pancake and just about to put it in her mouth when the door slammed open.

Syaoran stood there, soaking wet.

"S-Sy-Syaoran-kun!!" Sakura said, mouth agape. "What happened?"

"Here." He stuck his fist out. There was a lovely bouquet of pink flowers.

"Wh-what's this?" Sakura asked.

"For you. I screwed up the other one so here." Syaoran held it out and turned his face so she wouldn't see the blush.

"Ah… T-Thank you!" Sakura bowed. "Thank you so much! It's really pretty!"

She snatched up the flowers and held them preciously. "You know, you're not getting them back."

She quickly filled a vase with water and placed the flowers lovingly into it.

There was no answer.

"Syaoran-kun?"

Sakura turned around.

He was cutting into a chocolate chip pancake.

"Yes?" He said, looking up, chocolate smeared across his face.

Sakura grinned. "Here." She reached for a napkin and gently wiped his face.

His eyes were wide and their faces were centimeters apart.

"Ah, I-I can do it." Syaoran took the napkin from her and cleaned his mouth, his face burning.

Sakura nodded, and turned away, blushing.

"A-Ano… you're… you're all wet… maybe you should go change before you get…"

He sneezed.

"Sick."
