A Thin Line
Chapter 3
Tears rolled down the cheeks to two girls. Tomoyo wiped her tears away with a tissue while Sakura just let the stream down. Opposite from them was the movie Titanic. (A/N: Sad movie, made me cry.) When the movie ended the two girls threw their arms around one another. Tomoyo handed Sakura a tissue, she took it and blew her nose on it. The phone rang so Tomoyo went to answer it, leaving Sakura to start clean up.
"Sakura, it's for you." Tomoyo walked over to hand the emerald eyed girl the phone.
"Ok got it, Ja ne." she hung up the phone and turned back to her best friend.
"Who was it?"
"Syaoran, he said that his mom was coming to visit from Hong Kong and she brought a guest that is supposed to make me happy."
"Who could that be?"
"I don't know."
The girls spent the rest of their night cleaning up the tissues and popcorn on the ground.
/Sakura's room/
The clock struck midnight, when Sakura finally got in bed. She lay her head gently down, pulling her blanket over her body. She closed her eyes expecting to fine slumber but instead her eyes shoot open to banging sounds at the door. She quickly rose from her bed, put on her robe, and went to the living room. Tomoyo was already there with her hand on the door knob.
"Should we open it?" Tomoyo asked a little nervous. Sakura nodded.
At the door was Touya and Yukito. "So where is that Gaki?"
"What?" Sakura asked dreamily. Touya helped himself through the girls' room. When he was done he walked back out the door. "Just making sure those brats aren't here…… good, well good-"
Touya was interrupted by the door slamming in his face. Yukito sniggered under his breath as Touya stood dumb founded next to the closed door. Touya finally turned around and walked back down the hallway with Yukito at his side.
/Class\\\\\\
Syaoran and Eriol burst out laughing after hearing the girls' story. "Wow your brother sounds like a real stalker." Eriol joked. Tomoyo couldn't help but giggled.
"He is such an idiot! I mean who comes to their sister's room at midnight looking for someone they hate?" Sakura pouted, and then took her seat.
"A really creepy stalker brother." Syaoran answered her question. He took a seat behind her. Tomoyo and Eriol took their seats as well.
Sakura emptied her back pack, a single piece of paper fell to the ground. On it was some sort of sketch but no one was sure what it was. Sakura reached out to try and pick it up but unfortunately she was too slow for Syaoran. He examined the sketch for about a minute before Sakura snatched it back.
"Pink teddy bear? How old are you, four?" the drawing was of a pink teddy bear with a pink tie to match.
"NO, I'm 16 just like you! And I like pink teddy bears ok?" she frowned and started to open her Biology book. Syaoran was about to say something but instead just kept quiet. The teacher came in to the class room and everyone was silent.
/Lunch\\\\\
Sakura was first one out of the lunch line so she got to pick a table for the group to sit at. She choose the table nearest to the grass. She placed her tray down and started to munch on her lunch. Moments later she was joined by Syaoran
"Hey, sorry about this morning." He apologized before taking a seat next to her.
"Its ok, I guess it was kind of childish." She smiled.
She looks beautiful when she smiles, Syaoran though to himself.
"So when are you going to Syaoran's?" Tomoyo's voice snapped him back to reality.
"OH I don't know. Maybe right after school." she moved over a little for Tomoyo to sit.
Wonder who's my guest is, she asked herself.
/After school\\\\\
Sakura walked along side Syaoran home. Well his real home, not his dorm room at the boarding school. "Hey, you wanna bake a cake?" Sakura's cheerful voice asked.
"Uh why?"
"It'll be for your mom and my guest."
"Why bother? My mom known you since you were six." It was true Sakura and Syaoran had been friends for 10 years so that means that Yelan Li has know about her for a while now. "Its not like you need a good first impression." Syaoran looked straight ahead as he walked.
"True, but I just wanna do something nice for her." Sakura insisted that they bake Yelan a cake when they got to Syaoran's house. Unwilling to argue any more, Syaoran gave in.
/Li Mansion\\\
Sakura dug through the cupboards looking for flour and other ingredients needed for a cake. She then threw then all on the counter. Syaoran folded his arms and leaned against the kitchen wall as he saw Sakura attempt to bake.
When she was finished, a smile curved through her lips. Even though it was hard to see it through all the flour on her face, Syaoran still noticed it and smiled back.
"Wow he looks so cute when he smiles." Sakura said to herself.
"Really?" too bad she said it out loud.
"What? Did I say that out loud?" Sakura was embarrassed to know that Syaoran had heard her. She tried to smile it off.
Syaoran smirked as he saw her blushed a little. He then noticed that she was trying to rub the flour off her face. "Here let me help you." He leaned over to touch her cheek. She looked up at him in disbelief. He was able to brush the flour off with his thumb. When the flour was gone however, he didn't remove his thumb. Syaoran gently felt Sakura's cheek with his thumb.
The next thing he did was something that none of them has expected. Syaoran's thumb made its way to Sakura's lips. When he removed it, he slowly bent down towards her face. Sakura didn't move. He was almost there, just a few more inches.
Ding Dong.
/Eriol and Tomoyo\\\\\
"I wonder what Sakura and Syaoran are doing." Tomoyo asked while cleaning her camera. She turned her attention to Eriol who was watching something on TV. "Hey!" she shouted, trying to get his attention. She he didn't even turn to look at her, she walked over to him.
"Hey, how are you going to invite me over and not even talk to me?" she folder her arms around her chest.
Eriol finally looked away from the TV. "Well, you were busy with your camera, so I didn't wanna bother you." He picked up the remote and changed the channel. Tomoyo pouted some more. "Well then I guess I should leave so I don't bother you with your television watching." She grabbed jacket and her camera and left.
Eriol looked at the closed door, way to do Eriol.
/Li Mansion\\\\
"Aren't you gonna get that?" Sakura stopped Syaoran from moving any farther. He blushed when he finally realized what he was doing.
"Xiao Lang." Yelan's voice came to the kitchen. Sakura quickly grabbed her cake out of the oven and ran towards her.
"Hey there Mrs. Li." Sakura offered Yelan the cake, who seemed grateful. "Thank you Sakura. And it's a good thing that you're here. I have someone that I want you to see." She turned her head to the door.
The doorknob turned and Sakura was shocked.
"Daddy!" she ran to the mad at the door.
"Hello Sakura." She said kissing her head slightly.
"I haven't seen you on 2 years!" Sakura was now filling with happy tears.
"I know, it's a good thing that Yelan's company found me and offer me a job." He smiled at his crying daughter. "Where is Touya?"
"At the dorm, I'll take you there later." Sakura struggled to get the words out.
Syaoran saw the whole thing, he was confused but he was also happy that Sakura was happy.
"Fujitaka was lost on an abandon town for 2 years, due to a plane accident. Everyone thought he had died but he luckily I found the town when I got lost on my way to a busy meeting." Yelan could sense that that was what Syaoran wanted to know about.
"Dad, I'll show you the dorm room." Sakura pulled Fujitake's hand and lead him out the door. "O, almost forgot," she turned back to bow at Yelan, "It was nice seeing you again and thank you for saving my dad." She smiled and then closed the front door behind her.
Syaoran was a little disappointed to see her leave but choose not to say anything. "Sweet girl isn't she?" Yelan walked over to her son.
"Yeah." he whispered back, "Lovely." He walked pass her and up the stairs to his room.
