Reviews! (Another lil' blurb by Aly) Along with a warning
GO ME! I finally got some reviews! Don't mind me… I can get strange at times but ONWARDS!
Queen Rini: Just tell me what you don't understand and I'll try to help… (I guess my fanfic is kind of confusing)
Animeflower, Princess Stressed and Sirenic Griffin: I give you my thanks. Your encouragement really helps but don't be afraid to criticize me!
Just a quick thought; I noticed I wrote Julian in the first chapter, please replace that with Yukito or Yuki. Besides that I'm not exactly familiar with the Japanese schooling system so at the moment I'm going with the Canadian. If someone could tell me…PLEASE DO SO!
Chapter Three: Helpless
The sights had rolled by, the colours blended and she had lost track of the places and time. Her emerald eyes were blank as she stared out the window as the car pulled over. Solemnly she got of the car with her bag slung over her shoulder. She weakly waved good bye forcing a smile. Her poor father couldn't even tell the difference as he drove away beaming.
The young cherry blossom sighed as she looked around her new school. There were three large buildings, the largest in the middle. On the left side there was the boys'/men's' dorm and on the right the girls'/women's. The girl in disguise bit her pale lips as she looked around. It didn't help that more than a few people (mainly females) were whispering around her and she had the feeling that it was directed towards her. I may as well go to the main office to find out where my room is.
Sakura quietly walked on and she let her ears catch a few phrases that were whispered about her 'He must be the new cutie that everyone's talking about' 'He's so pretty'. Saku blushed as she heard these comments and kept looking ahead. She tried to look calm and confident but her heart was racing with nervousness. What if someone recognized her? Stop worrying Sakura! Don't be such a worrywart. It'll all work out…it just doesn't help that I already have a lot of attention. Just consider this an adventure.
Pushing back her fears she walked into the main building, her feet making soft sounds on the recently polished floor.

Saku's cheeks were still slightly flushed. She had already gotten lost in the first few minutes and had to ask a wandering student where the office was located. Why couldn't it just be at the front where it's easy to find! Not at the farthest point of the school…They could at least have some signs.
'Mouto Saku' a buzzing voice called.
For a second she didn't move but then she remembered who she now was and quickly stood up and followed the middle-aged woman to another room. This new room was quite well furnished with an elegant desk with two plush chairs on either side. Already sitting there was a rather young man who she assumed was the principal.
'Hello' he smiled warmly at her. 'I'm Mr. Eniwa and you must be Mouto Saku. Am I correct?' Saku nodded quickly and the young man smiled at her enthusiastic reply. 'I'll have a student show you around who you'll surely befriend. He'll give you a tour around. Hopefully he's already outside. Your dorm is number 245. Your guide will hopefully know where it is and who your roommate is. At the moment I've forgotten' he briskly informed her. 'Got it?' Sakura nodded once again and he waved her outside where sure enough a boy already stood.
He was handsome enough with dark brown hair falling front of his faded blue eyes that seemed to dance around in the light joyfully. His leg was bent against the wall as he waited for. The school jacket was carelessly thrown on and he looked extremely carefree. His head tilted to the side as he spotted Sakura.
'Hello!' he smiled 'I'm Hou Kazue but please just call me Kazue. Everyone does!'
'I'm Saku' she cheerfully back. It was just another day when she faked her cheerfulness. She had gotten so used to it so her friends wouldn't worry about her. 'Nice to meet you'.
'So what room are you in?' Kazue asked just as cheerful.
'245' Sakura answered immediately.
The boy made an odd face before pushing the doors opening and directing Sakura to the dorms.
'I can easily say I don't envy you there,'
'Why?' Saku cautiously. But in her mind her thoughts were raging. What if my room is haunted! What if there are ghosts all over the place. Sakura shivered and almost let out a squeak before she remembered she had left Sakura behind. Boys weren't afraid of ghosts.
'You'll find out soon' Kazue answered mysteriously.

Getting to the dorms had taken longer than she had expected. Then again the young cherry blossom and her new friend had to stop to meet everyone. To talk or to laugh about something. So far she felt as if she had just met more than half the school already. A slightly exhausted teenager opened the knob carefully, waiting for the ghosts to just fly out at her. Saku let out a soft sigh as she observed the room. Good. No ghosts around here. Happily she trotted into her new room.
'Hi, I'm Mouto Saku!' she called cheerfully to a turned figure.
The chestnut-haired head turned. Showing a muscular body that was already well-defined from obvious training. His amber eyes were cold and they sent shivers down Sakura's spine. His face was emotionless and his homework rested softly on his bed.
The girl's eyes widened in surprise and she stumbled back tripping over a bed in doing so. She let out a yell and fell flat face down on the floor before scrambling up.
'What are you staring at?' he asked coldly.
'Nothing,' she mumbled. I need to get somewhere to think.
Without saying another word she ran out of the room, desperately fighting back at tears. I finally see him…I finally see my little wolf but he's changed so much. He's not the Syaoran I know. He's so cold.
Saku ducked out of some crowds, seeking refuge behind her dorms. Surprisingly enough there were long lustrous fields…with soccer nets. A discarded ball lay by the side lines. Without thinking she charged forward. She could soften her emotions with this. She grabbed the soccer ball and then dribbled down the soccer field.
What will he think if I tell him? He'll probably hate me. Tears were beginning to fall down her cheeks bitterly. The change of her childhood love was just so…she had no words for it. He said he would never forget me. That he would always love me. I know I'll always love that little wolf. I want him to love me no matter who am I am or what I look like…Maybe I can consider this a test. But it sounds so cold.
She neared the net and kicked the ball as hard as she could. Her emotions went into it, causing it to soar through the air at a rapid speed. Behind her she heard clapping and she hoped it was Syaoran. But it wasn't. It was just Kazue.
'You're pretty good. You trying out for the team?' Sakura nodded slowly, ducking her head as she brushed away salty tears. 'I'm the goalie. You probably haven't really met anyone but the captain.'
'Who's the captain?'
Surprisingly Kazue began to chuckle quietly. 'Should've known. Li doesn't exactly talk about himself-Come to think of it. He doesn't really talk at all unless he has to,' Sakura nodded understandingly. The little wolf never did talk much to others.
'Is he always like that?' Sakura asked hesitantly.
'Yep! Luckily today's a good day.'
Her eyes widened. A good day? Syaoran has changed more than I expected. Maybe our relationship was never meant to be. Sakura hung her head sadly, that's what Touya had said and once or twice Tomoyo had hinted it. But she never paid attention to it. She couldn't let it get to her now.
'I've got to go,' she said rather quietly. And then she ran. Her feet padded softly on the grass as she ran away from the boy yelling behind her.
Kazue stood there with a puzzled expression as he watched the figure grow smaller into the distance. 'What did Li do to him?' he wondered out loud. With a sigh he turned on his heel and walked back to the dorm

Once I knew what to expect…The unexpected. But things have been turned upside down for me. I don't know what to do. I'm no longer a girl. Instead a boy who is just here for soccer and because of a painful vision. I don't have my guardians, my family or close friends. For once in my life. I feel…
Helpless

Aly's Blurb
Once again my chapter is only okay. I really have to do some work on this. Most likely at chapter five I'm going to start to do some revising. But I really am grateful for the reviews. Besides that this chapter is basically called helpless…Well: a) I couldn't think of anything (I'm kind of brain-dead today) b)because it's the last word in the chapter and c) Basically it's how Sakura feels at the moment. Farewell for now! Review! Review! Review
Aly,
