In Which Some Teasing , Chasing and

Scary Dudes Find Green Dotted Boxers

" ERIOL AND SYAORAN!"

The teacher's scream was heard from all corners of the school. Everyone groaned as Syaoran snickered as quietly as he could.

Eriol , however , guffawed , loudly. Very loudly.

After replacing the teacher's coffee with cough syrup, replacing the air freshener the teacher sprayed around the class everyday ( especially near Eriol's desk...) with spray paint, and shrinking his suit , the teacher was about to get another surprise.

Eriol snapped his fingers. Now to watch the firecrackers.

The pen that always was stuck above his ear morphed into a sparkler , that lit immediately. It took him a bit of time to find out where the shots of fire were coming from before Syaoran and Eriol were awarded with a satisfactory scream. The teacher yelled and ran to the window , as the class laughed at the man' s misfortune.

Sakura frowned. This was quite a mean trick to do , she thought as the poor man ran around in shortened clothing that revealed his pudgy legs and striped socks.

She didn't notice how Syaoran kept looking back at her with a smile on his face , as if looking for her approval. Finding no smile on hers , his smile instantly faded away and replaced with a frown identical to hers , as if he had never participated in the prank.

Tomoyo, however , noticed. With that keen eye of hers and the video camera always at her side , who wouldn't?

Eriol however , didn't take any notice of Syaoran's flushed face and Sakura's naivety. He had sidled up to Tomoyo , ignoring the teacher who was storming out the class to speak with the principal about the troublesome pranksters.

" So , Tomoyo...I heard you have a rather fond hobby of filming," He said as nonchalantly as he could.

Tomoyo stiffened. " So?"

Eriol stretched , yawning ,placing his arm around the back of her chair.

" I was thinking about a series of videos staring the best looking man in Hong Kong. It could be called..." He pretended to think hard and snapped his fingers. " Eriol Hirrigizawa and the Amazing Pranks!!"

He grinned at Tomoyo who looked disgusted. " How about....no?"

His expression didn't change as Tomoyo inched away from him. " Come on , Tomoyo! You know you want to!!"

" Ha!"

" I am quite good looking and many girls would buy these tapes-"

" You wanna bet??"

" Fine! I will! Rika , am I good looking or what?"

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's the biggest joke of the century! You? Good looking?"

" What??? Why are you laughing??"

~~~~~***~~~~

Tomoyo and Sakura sat at the hollow of a tree at lunch as they watched the children play. Syaoran and Eriol were out of sight and that made them both relieved and tensed. Who knows where those two might pop up?

Tomoyo leaned back and wrapped up the remains of her lunch. " You know what? Things really changed ever since we moved here."

Sakura shrugged. " Not really. In a way , things are exactly the same."

Tomoyo grinned. " Actually , I find myself having more fun here than I ever did back in Japan.."

Sakura blinked. " Whaaat?"

Tomoyo nodded. " As much as I hate to admit it....Syaoran and Eriol liven things up!"

Sakura stared at her and guffawed. " What the hell? What I would give to have Syaoran and Eriol OUT of my life! And your here saying they liven things up???"

Tomoyo laughed , a sly twinkle in her eye. " That's what your saying now....but your heart is saying a different thing!"

Sakura wondered out loud , " My heart doesn't talk..."

Tomoyo pointedly ignored this and went on , " You are like a romance heroin. Your heart is being taken away by a bad boy prankster , when you know you should be with the sweet boy who loves you. In the end , you must chose the sweet one in order for you to be happy in your life!"

Sakura groaned. " Speak English!"

Tomoyo blinked at her. " I was..."

Sakura just responded , " I mean , I didn't understand one word! Heart taken away by prankster? Sweet lover boy??"

Tomoyo sat up and faced Sakura. " Don't you get it? Your attracted to Syaoran yet deep in your heart you love Hiiro!"

Sakura sweat dropped trying to process this information. Attracted? Love???

" You think I'm ATTRACTED TO THAT LOSER???" She finally burst out.

Tomoyo leaned back. " That's exactly what I think!"

" That stinky piece of crap who's main goal in life is to make my life hell , and should be compressed into a small package out over and over and over and then reopened and processed through a recycling plant and made into a seed that should never be planted because it might soil the earth???"

Tomoyo blinked. " Now who's not speaking English?"

Sakura slapped her forehead. " Your so dense , Tomoyo!!"

Tomoyo snorted but Sakura was already thinking of something else. " Tomoyo...here you are talking about attractions to pranksters....how do I know your not attracted to Eriol?"

Tomoyo gagged. " WHAT?"

Sakura smirked. " You heard what I said. I think you like Eriol. I think you love him. I think you ADMIRE him. I think you think that he thinks that you think he's sexy!!"

Tomoyo sputtered. " Of-Of course not , I-"

Sakura sighed. " You never told me what really happened that night he pranked you while I was gone at Syaoran's house!!"

Tomoyo turned red. " NOTHING HAPPENED!"

Sakura burst into laughter. " Your face tells it all , my friend. Your in love!!!"

Tomoyo got up. " That's it , RUN!"

Sakura squeaked , and ran as fast as she could. Tomoyo was hot on her heels as they twisted and turned around the benches and staring students as Tomoyo chased Sakura all around the park.

Suddenly , Sakura went WHAM into a body and went flying back.

" OW!!" Sakura yelled.

" OW!!" Syaoran yelled.

" YOU!" They both yelled at the same time.

Sakura got up quickly as Tomoyo went panting up to them. Tomoyo noticed how Sakura's face was beet red and Syaoran was in her atmosphere...

Syaoran...

Sakura face red...

Close together...

Both looking at each other....

" Sakura..." Tomoyo wheedled out , in a playful voice. " I know who your crush is..."

Sakura screamed and Tomoyo went running , but before Sakura went chasing after her , she yelled to Eriol , " SOMEONE LIKES YOU!" before she ran off after the amethyst haired girl.

Eriol stared after them. " I swear , we are pranking two extremely crazy girls."

Syaoran sighed , picking himself up. " Damn , that woman ran straight into me! What the hell were they giggling and squealing about??"

Eriol got a twinkle in his eye. " They said...they said..."

Syaoran prodded , " What did they say?"

Eriol flung his arms out. " Someone LOVES me!!!"

Syaoran sweat dropped. " Love??"

Eriol responded, " Is that so hard to believe? I wonder who it is? Maybe that girl on the cheerleading team , with that long black hair and damn fine body-"

" Eriol , stop daydreaming. No one likes you!" Syaoran retorted.

Eriol rolled his eyes. " Your just jealous , Syaoran. Just because Sakura doesn't like you back doesn't mean you have to ruin my happiness!"

Syaoran stared at him , straight in his eyes.

" That's it , RUN!"

~~~~~***~~~~~~

Sakura stuck her hands in her jacket pockets as she walked home. She couldn't believe it. Tomoyo actually thought that SAKURA liked SYAORAN! Of all people?!?!?

And she thought it was some sex appeal attraction!

As if!

Sakura snorted as she walked past her house , not even noticing where she was going.

She walked forward , her mind deep in thinking. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't get his amber eyes out of her mind. That silky chestnut hair that always fell into his eyes and made him look as if he had deep , mysterious secrets in that well built body of his-

Wow.

That was going TOO FAR!

Sakura shook her head , trying to clear her thoughts. It was just as Tomoyo said , right? Tomoyo was always right. Hiiro was the one for her ( the love letter proved that fact) and Syaoran was some bad boy who she hated really really badly!!

She stomped her way foreword and then looked up.

Damn it , she had walked right past her house!!

She quickly twisted and walked fast , aware of the darkness that was falling quite rapidly around the city. It was growing cold , and she shivered involuntarily.

" Hey , missy!"

A voice called out from deep in the shadows. She was only a block away from her house and she froze at the sound of the voice.

" What's such a pretty girl doing all alone?" the voice snarled. Sakura felt ice trickle down her veins and she commanded her frozen legs to move.

They didn't obey. She felt the urge to scream but choked it inside as the man with the voice revealed himself.

A dark , shady character with tattered clothing and a cap that covered his eyes. He looked her up and down and smiled , ferociously.

" Wanna come with me? I'll give you a bit of fun..."

Sakura let out a frightened noise , and sprinted. She bolted from him and turned around to see if he was chasing her.

He was! She could already feel him gradually catching up to her. His hand grabbed her arm , and twisted her around.

" Where are you goin , lady-"

He was broken in mid-sentence by a boy's shout. " LET HER GO!"

Sakura fell from his grasp and hit her head hard on the pavement. Before she lost consciousness , all she saw was a head of chestnut hair.

~~~~~~*****~~~~

A pulsing headache woke her up. She struggled to open her eyes , they felt as if they weighed a ton.

Finally , she opened her eyes and blinked away the blurriness that covered her vision.

" Wh-Where am I?" Sakura mumbled.

" At my house , where your NOT wanted!" a voice snapped.

Sakura turned her gaze toward a person sitting next to her. Angry amber eyes met her gaze.

" Syaoran? What the hell am I doing here? Did you kidnap me , or something? I swear to god , this pranking business is going a bit too far! Did you want some information out of me or something? Fine , I rigged your locker , so that pictures of you wearing pink tutus would fall out. ALRIGHT??"

Syaoran blinked at her as she yelled, " Now let me GO!"

Syaoran stared at her. " You put pictures of me in a pink tutu? How'd you get that?"

Sakura growled, " My brother's good at computer technology. He hates you almost as much as I hate you. NOW GO AWAY!"

Syaoran yelled back , " SHUT UP! I don't want you hear any more than you want to be here?"

Sakura retorted , " Then why am I HERE???"
Suddenly , a flashback flitted through her mind. A man, grabbing her arm. Hitting her head on the pavement.

" I was....I was almost kidnapped , wasn't I? A-And someone saved me.." Sakura mumbled out , her eyes squinted in concentration.

Syaoran coughed. " Yah , that person was....well , it was Hiiro."

Sakura blinked. " Hiiro saved me??"

Syaoran nodded. " Yah."

Sakura blinked again. " And he dropped me off here?"

Syaoran nodded , his cheeks turning pink. " Yah."

Sakura mumbled, " But I'm almost sure that the guy had chestnut coloured hair..."

Syaoran quickly stuttered out , " Your father will be here shortly."

Sakura nodded , too confused to say anything. Hiiro...saved her? But didn't he live on the opposite end of town? What was going on?

And how come Syaoran wears green polka dotted boxers??

" Syaoran...you might want to take your boxers with you..." She said in an uptight voice.

Syaoran flushed and grabbed his boxers where they lay at the edge of the bed where she was sleeping. " Oh yah....they're not mine , they're my....sister's...."

Sakura stared at him and Syaoran hurried out of the room.

Now , I'm going to have to stop typing here. I'm sorry to say that you won't find out whether or not Sakura has a crush on Syaoran. Or if Eriol finds out who REALLY likes him. Or who saved Sakura and....who really wears green polka dotted boxers??

But you might find out...in the next chapter!!
