Chapter 4 - The Project and the Misunderstanding

Replay from Last Time:

They made it to Sakura's house. Dark eyes were following Syaoran and Sakura's every move. They mostly focused on Syaoran. The dark eyes were filled with anger, like getting ready to kill someone.

"Oh I got a block of wood in the garage. I'll be back, okay?" said Sakura.

"Okay, sure. I'll just wait out here for you," said Syaoran.

Sakura went into the garage for a while.

The figure who contained the dark eyes, slowly opened the door from inside the Kinomoto house.

At the same time, Tomoyo and Eriol came really close to the Kinomoto house. They saw a tall man getting ready to throw a blow at Syaoran.

Also at the same time, Sakura came out of the garage holding the wood and also saw her brother ready to hit Syaoran…

The tall man got closer…and closer…

He raised his fist, ready to blow…

"WATCH OUT!!!!!!!!"

End Of Replay

:::BAM!:::

:::CRASH!:::

:::BADA BING BADA BOOM!:::

There was smoke and dust blinding everyone from this horrid scene…

"Oh my God! TOUYA! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!!!!!!" Sakura exclaimed.

Finally, the dust and smoke cleared…

'Why is there dust and smoke?' Sakura thought to herself.

Sakura looked through the smoke…

Do you know what she saw?

Syaoran….Unharmed!

And Touya…Let's just say that his fist is very bloody…

Everybody had their mouths opened up into a full circle, until Sakura interrupted.

"Oh my God!!! Touya!!! Are you alright!?"

Let me describe how Touya's fist looked like. His fist was very bloody. It had little pieces of bricks and rocks stuck to his skin. His fist bled nonstop.

The Kinomoto household was…Let's say…ruined because of Touya's attempt to hit Syaoran. He apparently hit the house instead.

Touya moaned from the pain piercing into his blood. "Oh God! Who the hell is this GAKI!"

"Touya! Don't change the subject! Come on, let's go inside," cried Sakura.

Everybody including Syaoran, Eriol, and Tomoyo went inside the house.

Sakura rushed into the bathroom. She quickly got the first aid kit. And rushed outside where all her friends were.

Touya kept glaring at Syaoran…

And again…

And again…

"TOUYA! STOP MAKING THE GUESTS FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE!" yelled Sakura.

Sakura quickly took out the alcohol and a couple of cotton balls.

She put the alcohol filled cotton onto Touya's hand.

Touya winced as the pain filled over his body.

Syaoran, Eriol, and Tomoyo were silent throughout the whole 'healing process'.

Sakura finished bandaging Touya.

"Syaoran?"

Syaoran's head perked up as he heard his name being called. "Yes, Sakura?"

"Are you alright? Do you need a band aid or anything?"

"Oh I'm fine. I'm unharmed…"

"Well, okay. I'm glad that you're not hurt," Sakura said shyly.

"GAKI!! YOU BETTER BE GLAD THAT YOU'RE NOT HURT. 'CAUSE WHEN THIS ARM HEALS, I'M GONNA GET YOU!" yelled Touya loudly.

"SHUT UP TOUYA! He's a guest! Syaoran and I have a project to do together. And I have a right to be mad at you! You didn't wake me up in the morning! And you almost hurt Syaoran and most importantly you hurt yourself!!!" exclaimed Sakura.

"But-,"

"No 'buts'! Sometimes you just have to realize that I'm growing up. Stop being so overprotective. Even though I'm getting older, I'll still be your little sister."

Her words were inspiring and brave. Touya nodded. He has accepted this. Touya hugged and kissed his little Sakura.

"Fine Sakura. But be careful. Remember what happened last time?"

Sakura froze at his words. Her flashback came back to haunt her.

FLASHBACK:

A 13-year-old Sakura waited patiently at Penguin Park for her boyfriend, Tai Tsuguishiro. Tai called her an hour ago to meet him at Penguin Park.

Sakura was getting impatient. Tai wasn't here yet. Sakura decided to go to his apartment to find out why he wasn't here.

Luckily, his apartment was a few blocks away. Sakura walked quickly.

The elevator dinged and Sakura walked out.

She knocked on Tai's apartment door.

Nobody answered…

She knocked again…

Still nobody answered…

She decided to go in with the spare key Tai gave her.

Sakura walked around the apartment.

She heard moans and kissing noises from Tai's room.

Sakura went in with her big emerald green eyes filled with water, ready to drop.

Tai was on top of a girl with long golden blonde hair.

They were both naked…

This slut's breasts were as big as a mountain, ready to swallow Tai's face in.

This bitch was at least 5 years older than him.

Sakura looked at them. She couldn't believe Tai betrayed her. Telling her how he would always love her. It was all a lie…

Sakura muffled a cry as quietly as she could, not interrupting their little fiasco.

She couldn't hold her cries in. Sakura let thousands of tears fall.

Tai heard some sniffling. He turned around to find…

"Sakura! Ummm…This isn't what it looks like! Didn't I tell you to wait for me at Penguin Park? I mean I just got off the pho-,"

"Don't you dare call me Sakura. My name to you now is Kinomoto! And I can see what this looks like! I waited at the park for an hour!"

"But Sakura-,"

"SHUT UP! I don't want to hear your lame excuses!"

Sakura looked at the couple on the bed with big watery eyes.

"Hey Lady. I hope you know he's only 13. He might look like a man, but he's just a damn fucking bastard, waiting to be fucked by sluts like you!" screamed Sakura.

The couple gasped.

"It's over, Tai…It's over…," the sound of Sakura's voice faded away.

Sakura left with big tears in her brilliant emerald eyes.

She ran home, not caring if any cars crashed into her. Luckily, she didn't get hit.

Sakura went inside her loving home, passing Touya and leaving to her room. Crying as if the world ended. Yes, the world ended, her world…

Touya had a confused look. 'What's going on with her? It must be that damn fucking boyfriend of hers! TSUGUISHIRO! I'M GONNA GET YOU FOR WHAT YOU"VE DONE TO SAKRUA!' These thoughts screamed in his head.

:::END FLASHBACK:::

Sakura started crying again. She hasn't cried ever since she saw Tai with that slut.

Sakura brought her knees up to her face and started crying nonstop.

Tomoyo saw this happen again. Tomoyo didn't like it when she saw Sakura crying her heart out.

"Saku…It's alright…Tai was a bastard. You didn't know. It's alright," said Tomoyo confortably.

"Sakura? Why are you crying?"

A comforting voice came about. Sakura glanced up to see a confused-looking Syaoran.

Sakura smiled warmly at him. She stopped crying. "I'm alright. I'll tell you about it later. Thanks a lot guys."

Her guests nodded.

Eriol remembered the day Sakura was betrayed by that bastard too.

"Don't worry Sakura. As long as you have your friends, we're always gonna protect you!" said Eriol confidently.

"Thanks, Eriol," mumbled Sakura.

Eriol and Tomoyo looked at each other and thought it was time to go and leave Sakura and Syaoran alone.

"Well, we better go, Sakura. We'll see you later."

They left.

With Sakura and Syaoran…

"Are you sure you're alright? Is there something you wanna tell me?" said Syaoran worried.

"Um, I'm alright. But I'll tell you about my past anyway."

(I don't want to go over the conversation. You guys already know what happened so I'll just leave it there.)

"…And that's what happened," said Sakura.

"God…That happened to me once. I just dumped her 'cause she was fucking another guy on MY bed," said Syaoran.

"My sheets were all ruined. You know…she was a virgin…and her blood stained my sheets so bad, that I couldn't wash them off. I ended throwing it away."

"Oh," said Sakura.

"Well, might as well start on that project…"

"Yeah, we should," said Sakura.

Unknown to them…Touya was listening to what they were doing…His door wasn't soundproof, so it was easy to listen through, especially since his room was right next to the living room.

This is what Touya heard:

"Syaoran? Do we put on gloves?"

(Touya: Gloves?)

"Um, I guess so. I have never in my whole life have done this before."

(Touya: Done what? Is it…oh my God…he better not…)

"Let me get my dad's tool box. We might need it."

"Right. I think you're right."

Shuffling of feet…

"I got it. Are you sure you have never done this? 'Cause this is my first time too."

"Well, let's get started."

:::Zippering undone:::

"Syaoran? What is that stick thingy you have?"

"I forgot what it's called. But I suppose it's useful. I mean Eriol gave it to me for my birthday a long time ago, but you can get this anywhere."

"Well, whatever. It looks really sturdy, so keep poking at this thing until it makes a hole."

"What do you mean? I mean doesn't it already have a hole?"

"No. I guess it wasn't made like that."

(Touya: I can't believe them…And right there in the living room too!)

:::Poking Sound:::

"SYAORAN!!! YOU'RE POKING IT AT THE WRONG PLACE!"

"What do you mean?"

"You should be poking it in the middle!"

"Well, I don't want to! Why can't we just shave it!"

(Touya: Shaving? This has gone on long enough!)

Touya comes out quickly to tell them that it has gone on long enough.

"YOU GAKI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER!!??"

"Um, Touya? We're just trying to make a hole into the wood with this stick thingy…"

"Yeah…Kinomoto-san…I wasn't doing anything wrong to Sakura!"

"Sakura? Is that a screwdriver?" asked Touya.

Touya looked at them with a confused face.

"Oh yeah! I remember now! That stick thingy is called a screwdriver!"

Touya eyed them very suspiciously. "Are you sure you're not doing something that's not right?"

Sakura asked, "What did you think we were doing?"

"Uhhhh, nothing out of the ordinary…" said Touya nervously.

Touya then left to go to the grocery store.

"Oh my God, this project is so hard!" cried Sakura.

"I know…This is mad boring!" said Syaoran.

Back to Eriol and Tomoyo…

"Do you think Syaoran will be alright?" asked Eriol.

"Yeah, don't worry. Once Sakura tells her brother not to do something, he doesn't do it and listens to her a lot," said Tomoyo.

"So…what do you wanna do now?" asked Tomoyo.

"I dunno…Your choice…"

Tomoyo and Eriol were just walking around…

Until Tomoyo got an idea.

:::DING!:::

"I got an idea to make Sakura fall in love with Syaoran! I mean she has never been this happy since she was with Tai…"

"So what's your plan?" questioned Eriol.

Tomoyo whispered in his ear…

The couple had silly grins while Eriol had both the silly grin and his glasses shining.
