Hi... I know I said that I would put this out some time ago but... I had complications and since I couldn't do much either, I decided it would be better if I actually got something out right now. This chapter is really short and isn't very interesting, but it leads to more SS moments in the upcoming chapter.

And sorry about the star symbols in the last chapter. I didn't realize they wouldn't show up!

Chapter 7

Going Insane

For the past week, Sakura had spent her days moping around the quaint, little yellow house she called home. Everyone she knew was away, Tomoyo was still in Hawaii with Eriol, Meilin was in Hong Kong, Chiharu and Yamazaki were visiting the countryside, and Naoko and Rika were helping out at the local kids camp. Of course, there were two people she knew who weren't out, these two lived right inside her house with her. Their names? Syaoran and Lisa. Problem was, they did everything together and didn't allow anyone else to join them. So that left Sakura the options of following around her brother or moping around the house. She chose the latter.

Sakura stared at the blank television screen, there was nothing good on so she decided maybe if she stared long enough at the tv, a picture would appear. Apparently, all the moping made her delirious. Just as Sakura was about to smash the tv for not producing a picture, Syaoran walked into the room.

"Sakura! What are you doing?" Syaoran asked, staring at the girl that was about to punch the tv.

"Uh... the tv wouldn't make a picture so I was going to punch it?" Sakura laughed nervously. She thought everyone had left the house already.

"Sakura, I think you should get out more," Syaoran stated with a worried look on his face, "Hey! I have an extra ticket for this street dance, why don't you come?"

"Are you sure?" She was surprised, why didn't he ask Lisa?

"Yeah, think of it as a thank you for taking care of me. Plus Lisa has some business to take care of." Sakura no longer had a smile on her face. 'So, I'm second-rate, I'm just a substitute.' She thought sadly. And she thought he actually cared.

"Umm, ok just let me go change. 'Kay?" She said, trying to hide the anguish in her voice.

"Sure," he replied casually. Sakura jogged up the stairs into her spacious bedroom. She tried to repress the lump that was forming her throat. She couldn't let him see her cry. She dug into her closet to find the perfect outfit. After going through an array of options, she finally found the perfect one.

Syaoran waited impatiently downstairs. 'Lisa doesn't take this long to dress.' (well probably because you didn't make her feel all sad by saying that you're only taking her cause Lisa can't go) But before he could complain anymore, Sakura came gracefully down the stairs wearing a white satin Chinese styled top and a pair of white denim jeans. It was just a simple outfit, it didn't show that much skin either, but he couldn't tear his eyes away.

"Ready to go?" Sakura's cheerful voice interrupted Syaoran's daydreams.

"Uh... Yeah, let's go," Syaoran said in a hurry, trying to cover up the fact that he had been staring. And without another word, the two left the house, heading for the street dance a few blocks away.

Yeah, I know EXTREMELY short. But, I'll try hard to get the next one out. Oh, and there are probably no street dances in Japan. It was just an idea that I decided to use in the story cause I didn't want to make them go to the fair. Please Review!
