Chapter 6: Secrets exposed

Syaoran's POV

I sighed. It had been two days, Sakura didn't come to school today, again. I'm a bit worried. But why am I worried about her? She's just another woman in my life. No difference. Wait, why do I keep on saying the same things to myself all the time. I stared into the empty seat in front of me. Everything seems all right; except for the fact that no one's sitting in it I lifted my gaze from the Sakura's chair and stared at the blackboard. For some reason, I can only see Sakura's face on the blackboard instead of all the numbers that Terada-sensei is writing. I shook my head fiercely. I can feel Rika's questioning gaze on me, so I quickly looked at the board and trying to read the Algebra equations on the board.

After school

I picked up my backpack and got ready to go home, I started to walk but I jerked to a stop when I heard someone calling me. I looked around and I saw Meilin and Tomoyo waving at me at the other side of the classroom. I walked across the classroom, approaching them.

"What up?" I asked Meilin and Tomoyo with a questioning look. I looked at Meilin then Tomoyo for some answers.

"Um…we were wondering…if you would want to come to Sakura's place with us. She's sick and we were wondering if you would like to go and visit her with us." Meilin blurted out. Tomoyo smiled beside her.

I suddenly felt my cheeks heating up. Going to Sakura's house? After school? A visit? 'Ok, ok, Syaoran Li, why are you thinking so much over a girl? Stop being a wimp and say yes!' a stupid voice in my head yelled at me. "Ok, fine. Just shut up before people think I'm weird, not talking so long and seem to have a fight with someone in my head.'

"Uh…um…sure, I don't see why not." I tried to make it not sound like a big deal. I mean why should it be? It's just going to a friend's house, what's the big deal?

"Ok, great!" Tomoyo seemed delighted, "Let's get going then." Tomoyo said, walking out of the classroom.

"Tomoyo, wait for me and Syaoran!" Meilin called after Tomoyo while hurrying to her. Meilin tugged at my sleeve, wanting me to walk faster. I wouldn't walk faster so Meilin pulled my sleeve even harder.

"Ok, ok Meilin," I mumbled to Meilin, but she wouldn't let go. "Meilin let go of my damned sleeve!!!" I said more loudly this time.

"Oh, sorry." Meilin noticed and had let go of my sleeve. I noticed a tiny little blush on her face.

Outside school

The three of us walked down the streets of Tokyo. We had to walk since I didn't drive to school in the morning. I looked around. I've never been in Tokyo before I moved here. So I guess you can say I'm not so familiar with this place. I followed Tomoyo and Meilin really close in case I get lost.

"Why are we stopping here?" I asked Tomoyo and Meilin when they stopped in the front of the mall.

"We thought it would be nice to buy Sakura a present." Tomoyo said. I stared at her with a confused look.

"You know? A get-better present." Merlin explained some more, she stared at me if I were stupid.

"Oh…ok." I said, suddenly understand the meaning of this whole thing. "Ok…so where are we going?" I asked them. There's no use for me to decide, it's not my present to her. Or should I get her a present too? Hmm…nah, if Meilin and Tomoyo's both getting her a present, then she'll have three. That's enough, and she didn't even break anything anyway. Wait a minute! Didn't I say I didn't want anything to do with her anymore the other day? Then why am I going to visit her? Oh who cares, I better get her a present. Because Meilin and Tomoyo's getting her one, if I don't then I'm going to look bad. And that's not going to happen is it?

Normal POV

"Ding dong!!!" Sakura hurried to the door when she heard the doorbell. Sakura was reading my book earlier in the afternoon. She was going to go to school today, but Touya didn't let her.

"HI SAKURA!!!" Tomoyo and Meilin yelled as soon as she answered the door. Sakura notice that someone else was standing behind them. It's Syaoran! Syaoran's was easy to see because he's so tall, at least 6'2. Tomoyo's just 5'3 and Meilin's just 5'5. Sakura's in the middle, she's 5'4. Sakura blushed and looked down at the ground immediately. Tomoyo and Meilin switch the She's-so-in-love look and smirked. Of course neither Sakura nor Syaoran noticed.

"Um…hi." Sakura greeted Syaoran quietly. Her throat suddenly felt dry. She looked away from Syaoran and sat down on the couch.

"Sakura, here are the presents we bought you. Oh, and Syaoran got you a present too!" Meilin said happily.

"Oh thanks Syaoran, you really didn't need to get me one." Sakura said simply. But both Sakura and Syaoran knew what it meant. It meant that they're not really good friends and they don't know each other that well.

"Oh…ahem, it's alright, it's not big anyway." Syaoran cleared his throat. He looked away from Sakura.

Everyone fell silent. Everything was so quiet that you can hear bids chirping outside. And that doesn't happen a lot when you have four people in the same room.

"So, Sakura, do you think you'll go to school tomorrow?" Tomoyo decided to cut the silence by asking Sakura some questions.

"Oh yeah defiantly. I still can't believe Touya didn't let me go to school. (A/N: just to let you readers know, Touya's a lot nicer in this fic.)

"Ok, you should come, some people really missed you." Tomoyo said in a mysterious voice, eyeing Meilin at the same time. Sakura suddenly had 10 shades of red on her face.

"Oh…uh…ok…um…cool…" Sakura said unclearly. Meilin and Tomoyo tried not to giggle and laugh.

"Oh, Meilin and I have to go now for the we planed, right Meilin?" Tomoyo gave Meilin a stern look. Meilin looked confused at first, but soon understood the whole thing.

"Yeah, yeah, we um…have to go to my house to study…ahem…yeah."Meilin sounded…well…not so real. Tomoyo shot her a you-are-hopeless glance. Meilin stared back. So they just stared at each other like that until they exited the door.

Sakura suddenly realized something. She was alone, with Syaoran!!!

"Omg…" she mumbled to herself. "I'm…alone…Syaoran."

"What?" Syaoran replied as when he heard his name being called. "Sorry, I didn't catch that." He smiled.

"Oh nothing." Sakura's heart is pounding faster and faster. She lifted her from the ground and looked at Syaoran, who is heading towards her right now.

Sakura's POV

'Omg omg omg, he's coming, what do I do???!!!!!!" I screamed at myself. I was going to argue with the little voice in my head when suddenly…

A/N: OK, I'M ENDING HERE!!! JUST KIDDING, IT'S TOO CLIFFY FOR ME TOO!!! OK, ON WITH THE STORY.

…When I suddenly felt Syaoran's lips crash down on mine. My eyes shot right open. My brain went blank.

My cell phone, at the same time Syaoran was kissing me, started to play my favorite song…

. Syaoran's kiss was not like a tornado sweeping across the alley. Nothing rude, nothing disturbing. Just softly pressing his lips against my. He's not doing anything or saying anything, he feels like a shy boy, walking in front of the door, but to nervous to knock.

After my cell phone played the tune twice, I picked up the phone. Still staring at Syaoran. He had his smile back on, not regretting anything.

"Hello?" I answered the phone, but my gaze never left Syaoran. "This is Sakura Kinomoto speaking." I said.

"Sakura?" Tomoyo's worried voice carried through the phone. "Are you ok? Meilin and I phone you twice and you never answered."

"Of course, I kind of fell asleep, sorry." Sakura apologized.

"Oh, alright, we just wanted to check on you. Bye!" Tomoyo said before she hung up.

Sakura put her phone down, and then stared at Syaoran.

What Sakura and Syaoran didn't know was…there was a pair of ice blue eyes watching them the whole time. The owner of the eyes jumped down from the tree he was hiding in and walked down the streets, down to…Rika's house.

That's it for now. I really hope you guys vote and I hope all of you have a wonderful time in 2005. I hope you all liked the chapter. Where I'm living right now didn't snow for a long time. But the weather reporter said there might be snow this evening, so let's all wish for a white new year! That's it so I guess I'll see you again…in 2005.
