Chapter 4: Very Strange
Sakura stood scowling at Syaoran angrily through narrow eyes. Sakura than averted her eyes away from the boy, and looked at the other people that Syaoran had with him.
There were two others, one boy, and one girl. The boy, with shocking blue hair and round-rimmed glasses, was tall and lanky. The girl on the other hand, had long hair and large amethyst coloured eyes. They were both around Sakura's age, and they were both staring at Sakura curiously, as if wondering how someone like Syaoran would know someone like Sakura.
"Syaoran... who is she?" the boy with blue hair asked. Syaoran dismissed the boy with a wave of his hand, completely ignoring him.
"I thought you were supposed to be at your house! I even walked you halfway there!" Syaoran exclaimed staring at Sakura disbelievingly.
'This is stupid.' thought Sakura. Picking up her backpack and giving Syaoran an unfriendly shove, she walked out of the cave and away from them all. Syaoran and friends followed. Sakura walked away from the beach, but Syaoran and the boy and girl followed. Sakura walked down an alleyway, and Syaoran and the boy and girl followed. Sakura walked into a local convenience store, and Syaoran, the boy and the girl followed.
Wherever Sakura went, they would be right behind her the whole time. Though they didn't question her actions, it was starting to get on Sakura's nerves. Finally, looking thoroughly irritated, Sakura whirled around and faced them, making them stop in their tracks.
"Okay fine! What do you want!" Sakura said throwing her hands in the air in an exasperating notion.
"To help you!" the girl with long hair said defiantly.
"And how do you expect to help me? I don't need help, I'm not mental!" Sakura said angrily.
"We never said you were, but maybe that's just what you think." Syaoran said rolling his eyes.
"Tomoyo, tailing her forever isn't going to work." The blue haired boy said to the girl.
"Oh fine Eriol whatever." The girl said disappointed.
"Anyways… we kind of saw your mother and you fighting this morning." Eriol said nervously.
"More like heard her two miles away." Syaoran muttered. Tomoyo elbowed Syaoran in the ribs.
"So, you've been spying on me!" Sakura asked outraged.
"Do shut up for once! We weren't spying on you! After I dropped you off at your house last night I told Eriol and Tomoyo and then suggested we check up on you or whatever. And we were right to! Look at you! All filthy! I don't know why I bother being nice to people like you." Syaoran scoffed.
"Believe me, Sakura; we know what you're going through! Please let us help you!" Tomoyo said weakly. Sakura looked from Syaoran, to the girl, to the boy, and then finally nodded sadly.
Tomoyo clapped her hands together excitedly, as Syaoran grabbed Sakura's arm and led them all walking towards an unknown destination. At least it was unknown to Sakura.
As Sakura was dragged by Syaoran, she caught a glimpse of a mansion a few yards ahead. Still walking quickly, Sakura gasped and stared in horror. Pointing at the mansion, she managed to choke out,
"Don't tell me.. that... THAT.. is your house!"
Syaoran was now the one looking annoyed. The boy with blue hair laughed as they led Sakura inside. Sakura stared at the furniture, the paintings, and even the maids and the butlers.
"Okay, you stay here!" Syaoran commanded shoving Sakura into a chair in the living room. Syaoran then walked down another hallway disappearing, leaving Sakura with the strange boy and girl.
"So, what's your name?" the blue haired boy asked as soon as Syaoran had left.
"Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura said quietly.
"And, you are...?" Sakura trailed off.
"I'm Eriol and this is Tomoyo." Eriol said pointing at Tomoyo.
"We're friends of Syaoran." Tomoyo said smiling.
"I see." Sakura said uninterested. Syaoran then came back with a pack of ice and handed it to Sakura.
"Here take it. Your face needs it." Syaoran said rudely. Sakura bit back a retort and took the ice.
After a few more minutes of silence, Tomoyo finally said,
"Syaoran, why don't you bring Sakura to the kitchen and get her some food or something." Tomoyo mumbled. Syaoran shrugged. Sakura stood up and followed Syaoran around while Tomoyo and Eriol spoke quietly in the living room.
"That was the living room, okay here's the kitchen." Syaoran said shoving two doors open and entering the huge kitchen. More then ten chefs were preparing food.
"Oh Syaoran, there you are!" one of the cooks said and rushed up to Syaoran. Syaoran turned away from Sakura as the two began discussing dinner meals. Something then caught Sakura's eyes. Quickly picking up a knife, she slipped it into her sleeve ands pretended nothing had happened.
"Li, where's the washroom?" Sakura asked rudely.
"Down the hall to your left." Syaoran answered. Sakura quickly rushed out of the kitchen and headed towards the washroom. Entering the washroom and closing the door behind her, she quickly slipped the knife into her hand. Slowly, she lifted it up and brought it down to her wrist...
A/N - Kind of a strange chapter if I do say so myself xD. I don't think it made much sense… oh well.
