Chapter Two

Sakura didnt talk to Syaoran for the rest of the day, or make contact with him. He wasnt even trying to get her attention, he was already satisfied with his progress on Sakura. Sakura was extremely happy about this but her happyness wasnt going to last long. She went to her home, did her homework, and went to sleep with one last thought: I hope he doesn't remember about tommorow.

"HOE!I'M LATE!" was Sakura's first words when she woke up that morning, a beautiful Tuesday. She ran down the stairs, took a bagel and went upstairs again to getdressed. After dressing, she looked at the clock and it read 6:57. There was no way she would get to class in three minutes.

Sakura ran the down the stairs for a second time, said goodbye to her father, who didnt even have a chance to reply, and left the house without noticing the red convertible waiting for her outside. Sakura was running the path to school and the convertible honked a couple of times to get her attention. She kept running and turned her head to see Syaoran.

"Sakura! Jump in. We're late."

"It's Kinomto! How many times do I have to tell you? And there's no way I'd ever seat in the same car as you!"

"Oh come on! Just this once! You know you're never going to get there on time. Atleast this way you wont be That late."

" I dont mind being late."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah really and dont answer back, I dont have time for a 'Oh really' 'Yeah really' fight."

"Please. Could we not argue for once. I really hate to see that pretty face of yours go al wrinkly. If you wont do it for me, or yourself, or for the fact that this is our first month, do it for the lamp post you are about to hit!"

"Huh? OWW!" Sakura said as she turned her face only to bump against a lamp post.

Syaoran drew the his car to a sudden halt and went to see Sakura, who was now on the floor.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I should have warned you with more time in anticipation"

"Huh? I cant seem to understand a word you say... Oh look at all the stars..." she mumbled before fainting in Syaoran's arms.

Syaoran panicked, not knowing what to do with the sleeping beauty in his arms. He decided to take her to the school nurse,sinceif he took her to his houseshe would probably freak out and his chancesto gether would go back to none,and that's exactly what he did.

When Sakura woke up, she didnt recognize the room she was in until the school nurse's face came to her sight.

"Where am I? Why? Am I getting detention again?"

"Well, young lady, you seem to have hit your head pretty badly with a lamp post, that's what the nice boy who brought you here said."

"Oh."

"Seems as if you are well enough to go back to classes. You wont get detention, dont worry, although you will get a good surprise. When you get home, make sure to put some ice on that head or yours so it doesnt get swollen. Besides that, you are just fine. You should thank the boy who brought you. If you were out there with that hit, who knows how long would you be in Lalaland."

"Oh.", was the only thing she seemed to say."Im gonna go now. Thank you. Umm Could you tell me what time it is so I know what class I have now?"

"Its about 10:15"

"Thanks again. And Bye!" she said as she hurried to her next class, which was math. Ugh.

She ran to her class, trying to not miss any explanations fromt he teacher for she sure needed it. When she got there, she sure got her 'surprise'.

The teacher wasnt there, and everyone was gathered around her desk. Sakura went to her desk, bracing herself for the worst that could be on her desk, but when she got there, it wasnt the least disgusting or bad in any way. What she saw was a huge teddy bear that was almost as big as her desk. There was also a big heart that contained chocolates obviously and a pink dog bowl.

"Huh? I dog bowl..but I dont have a--" she was cut off by the barking of a puppy wearing a red bowwho just entered the class. It was a beautiful golden retriever that wasnt more than two weeks old. Everyone was awwing and yelling at their boyfriends for never doing something as sweet as that. Sakura was clearly overwhelmed and went near the dog. As she took it in her arms, it started to lick her face. Sakura started laughing for it tickled until she saw a note that was on the dog's collar. It read:

I did remember what to day is Sakura. What kind of person would I be to forget? Definately not one worthy of your time and company. Come on a date with me. Please. For the sake of today and of Xiaohu. You know you cant resist those puppy eyes. You never could.

Love,

Syaoran

Sakura looked around for Syaoran or any sign oh him for the rest of the day to thank him and reject him on the date, but she couldnt find him or anyone who had seen him. Sakura sighed as the last bell of the day rang. She was trying to find a way to go home walking carrying all her gifts when a guy that looked like a chauffer came to her.

" Master Li told me to assist you to your house, seeing as he knew you'd need help with all the stuff"

Sakura thought about accepting this ride for it was may seem to Syaoran like she was finally giving in, but she stopped arguing for once and took the ride.

While Sakura was in the limo, she was thinking of all the things she could say to her family about their newest member, Xiaohu. She really hoped she could keep him. She got there and the driver opened both doors for her, the one of the car and that of her house. When she entere, she dropped the teddy bear on the corner of the house, she put the chocolates on the living room table along with the dog bowl and started to pet the puppy while going to the kitchen to look for her brother.

"Touya!"

"No need to shout, kaijuu. I'm right here you know?"

"Sakura no Kaijuu!", she said as she stomped his feet.

"OWWW!"

"That should teach you. Do you know when father is coming?"

"Why?"

"Ej..hehe..well...Lookathimthereisnowaywecanleavehimandnotkeephim!",Sakura said as she shoved Xiaohu at Touya's face. (For those you cant read it: Look at him there is no way we can leave him and not keep him)

"No need to shove it in my face! I think dad will let you keep him...but you'll have to take the whole responsability speech from him..you know, the one of taking care of the dog, cleaning him, walking him, feedeing him..."

"I know, I know, I know! I already got it..remember Goldie? She was a hell of a good fish.."

"Yeah and look where she is now...down the toilet!"

"Wha! You told me she was sent to the aquarium for she was too pretty and they wanted to show her off..sniff"

"Ej..hehe.."

"Touya! Tell me what really happened!"

"Um...I ...I kindatrippedanditfellandthefishwasonthecarpetandIkindofsteppedonit"

"TOUYA! How could you! And all these years you lied to me! And to think I even went to the aquarium to look for her!"

"hheheh.. Im sorry?"

"You will be when I tell Daddy!"

"Nooo! Dont tell him!...by the way...What is that huge teddy bear doing in our house? And where did you get the puppy from? And is that a box of chocolates I'm seeing!"

"Hehehe..I kind of got it from Li. He... was someone I met in the trip to hong Kong."

"You cant go out with him! You cant see him! I'm making you change schools!"

"Thank you! I hate him! I never want to see him again!"

"Well, then you can see him, in that case."

"Noo!"

" If you dont tell dad about Goldie, I'll make him keep Xiaohu"

"Deal! Now help me get all this stuff up will ya?"

"No."

"Atleast I tried." She said as she went up with Xiaohu and the teddy bear and went down to get the chocolates and the bowl. When she went down she looked at the box and found it open...and empty.

"KEEEEROOOOOO!"

Sakura got to her room, disapointed at the fact that she couldnt even eat one chocolate.

She laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking wether or not she should go to the date. At the same time, she was thinking of what happened in Hong Kong, and how she was going to deal with it.

Four months ago...

"Were going to Hong Kong!", said Rika

"I cant wait to see the city" said Chiharu.

"I just pray so I wont get lost.."said Sakura

"Gate 43C is open for boarding of the flight to Hong Kong."said a voice.

Sakura and the rest of her classmates got one the plane and unfortunatly, Sakura was seated apart from everyone else. She was seated between to very handsome guys. One was brown-haired and the other was a blonde. Sakura and the blonde were instant friends, while she and the brown-haired guy only knew each others name..Well, Sakura knew his name, but he knew more for he was listening to all the things she said to the blonde.
