There is no excuse for me not having updated in such a long period of time. I only say that my life has taken over for a while and for the longest time I had trouble finding inspiration to write anything. Please forgive me for this, and enjoy the latest installment of Haunted.

Haunted

Questions

The question for Syaoran was no longer what Sakura's troubles had been, but how to deal with them. After all, if Meiling had been reincarnated there was no telling what other enemies he might have to face. And how would he ever be able to tell Sakura their painful past together? Life, even the Afterlife, was more complicated then it seemed to be worth sometimes.

Sakura sat quietly underneath what seemed to be the only tree on the school grounds. Legs tucked haphazardly underneath her she stared at her lunch, her appetite still not at it's most vivacious so began to sort out her thoughts out loud.

"I wonder…why can I feel Syaoran…and why is his touch so…so…"

"So what?"

Letting out a yelp mixed with a comical expression Sakura looked up from her lap to look at Eriol.

"Forgive me…I did not mean to frighten you."

Smiling and sitting down next to Sakura, Eriol gave a slight nod of his head to apologize.

"Do you mind if I eat lunch with you?"

Thrown off by the nod, and the charming smile that came along with it, Sakura gave her consent.

"Of course not, go right ahead."

Slamming her lunch tray down on the bench closest to the tree where Sakura and Eriol now resided Meiling gave a seething glare at the two.

"First she comes in and thinks she owns the place. And now there she is mingling with one of the few decent looking guys around here!"

Smiling a little Tomoyo looked at the two with a dreamy lull in her eyes.

"I hardly think she meant to, but they sure look cute toget…"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence."

Glancing towards Sakura out of the corner of his eye Eriol was the first to break the silence that had come across the two.

"So, what were you thinking about?"

"Oh? No-one really…"

Grinning a bit Eriol gave Sakura a nudge.

"I had asked you what you were thinking about…not who."

Blushing a little Sakura furiously shook her head, not wanting to examine the feelings she had felt slowly developing for the ghost in her attic.

"It doesn't really matter."

"If you say so."
