Yeah, I decided to post two chapters today. REVIEW!

With You
Chapter Eight: Internet Cafe

I lay in bed the next morning, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After Syaoran has kissed me, it had been totally awkward. Like, really, really awkward.

Especially since I had kissed him back.

What had driven me to do it? I have no idea. All I know is that Syaoran was an amazing kisser.

Touya had saved the day by knocking on the door, wondering if I was back yet. Syaoran had to hide, again, as Touya came in and talked to me, but once Touya was gone Syaoran said that he had to go home.

And I didn't stop him.

So I had lay there, all night, not sleeping at all, just staring at the roof, wondering what had gotten into him.

And what had gotten into me.

We were supposed to hate each other! The kiss wasn't supposed to happen. I mean, I'm going back to Japan in a few weeks and I did not need a summer romance to keep me in Hong Kong.

I sighed and finally got off the bed and jumped in the shower. I was so not leaving my room the whole day. Touya can try to kick me out, but it wont work. I needed a day off.

Maybe once Touya and dad were gone I'd go down to the lobby, seeing as there was a small internet café there.

Yeah, I'd noticed it the night before, when Syaoran and I had been running around like maniacs, searching for pink pieces of paper.

Oh well, I'd gotten a lot of great pictures.

Once out of the shower, I slipped into a comfortable pair of gray sweatpants and a light pink tank top.

And, right on cue, Touya knocked on the door. "Come on Sakura, get up."

"I am up." I sighed, opening the door.

Touya looked shocked. "Sakura…it's nine in the morning…and your already showered?"

"Ha, yeah I know." I said flatly. "I'm not leaving today, okay? I don't feel like leaving my room except to go down to the lobby."

"Come on Sakura, we're going to a movie." Touya said. "You have to come."

"No, I don't." I sighed. "Please Touya, I didn't sleep at all last night, look at my eyes."

He did. "So what? You can sleep in the movie."

"Touya." I said tonelessly. "I was running around all of Hong Kong all yesterday and I'm exhausted. Please just go without me. Or better yet, we'll go tomorrow and you and dad can go on that boat tour thing."

Touya sighed. "Fine. I'll tell dad. But he's not going to be happy, you've been skipping out enough already."

"I know and I'm sorry." I groaned. "I'll make it up to you guys, okay? How about dinner tonight? I'll be rested up by then."

"Deal." Touya said. "Get some rest squirt."

"Will do." I said, closing the door.

I sighed and flopped back onto the bed, shoving a pillow over my head. Only five weeks, less, until I had to go home.

Wait, had to? More like, would.

But the longer I staid here, the more attached I got to the beautiful city.

" I need some reminders." I sighed, climbing off the bed.

I walked out into the hallway and pressed my ear to Touya and dad's door; nothing, they were gone.

I walked into the elevator and went down into the lobby, where I found the internet café. Nice.

"Just for an hour." I said to the till person.

She smiled and pointed to an open computer in the back corner.

So I went to it and turned it on, my time showed on a clock above the computer.

One hour to e-mail my friends back home, and maybe Meilin, too.

I grinned when I saw they had MSN messnger. Let's hope someone's on…

Luck! There was. Eriol was on.

CherryB: Hey Eriol! Sup?

EH: Sakura! I thought you'd forgotten all bout me! It's been 3 weeks. Nm is goin on here, Tomoyo's distressed b/c your not here. What bout you? Tell me all about Hong Kong, and that guy…Syao.

CherryB: Syaoran? Oh, he's just I guy I "ran into" my 1st day. Turns out he's Meilin's cousin. (If Tomo told you bout Syao, she probably told you bout Meilin) Hong Kong is beautiful…it's gonna be hard to leave E!

EH: Well you'd better leave Saku, you sit with me in Chem, remember?

CherryB: lol, I remember. But still…I don't wanna leave Meilin, she's a good friend.

EH?" May-b she'll come here.

CherryB: Doubt it.

EH: U never knoe Saku. Fate has ways of playing out like that.

CherryB: What is with you guys and fate? Tomoyo said the same thing!

EH: Dunno. I g2g Saku. Talk to yah l8er, k?

CherryB: Buh-bye E-kun!

Eriol signed off and I sat there for a while, looking over the numerous e-mails he'd sent me, along with Tomoyo.

I was alone again. Just a Japanese chick in a Chinese city.

Wow this sucked.

I leaned back in my chair and looked around at all the people in the café; a girl around my age with dark red hair with black streaks, typing away, headphones over her ears blasting something out in a language I couldn't understand.

There was also an older man, about fifty, surfing the net for flowers. Different.

There really wasn't many people in there. A couple not far from me, laughing to each other about an e-mail they'd received, and a freakish looking guy with jet black hair, dark eyeliner and black nail polish.

I heard a 'ding' from my computer and I turned to it.

"Xiao-Lang?" I smirked. "How did he get my e-mail?"

Meilin, no doubt.

Xiao-Lang: Sakura?

CherryB: Konnichiwa Li-kun. So U got my e-mail did ya?

Xiao-Lang: ...

CherryB: I'm gonna take that as a yes

Xiao-Lang: Sry bout last night. Dunno wut came ova me.

CherryB: It's OK, really. I didn't mind.

Xiao-Lang: ...

Xiao-Lang: really?

CherryB: Surprisingly, yes.

Xiao-Lang: What's that supposed 2 mean?

CherryB: Insider.

Xiao-Lang: With who, yourself?

CherryB: Oh yeah. Me, myself and I have many insiders.

Xiao-Lang: lol. U didn't sleep last night, did U?

CherryB: Obviously Xiao-Lang: I knoe how I can make it up 2 U CherryB: Let's hear it then.

Xiao-Lang: movie. 2night. 2 make up 4 everything

CherryB: Tempting, but I can't. How bout 2 morrow night? I have to go out 2 night. Touya insisted.

Xiao-Lang: sure. I'll pick U up 7, k?

CherryB: Sounds great. C yah then. I g2g, my time's gonna run out.

Xiao-Lang: c ya

I signed out of MSN, my cheeks red. I actually had about half an hour left, but I really didn't want to stay and be more embarrassed.

Had I actually agreed to go out with Syaoran? I was so, so dead.

I needed diciplin, really I did. Say no to guys that you're never going to see again! God! How hard could that be?

Apparently, hard.

I sighed and checked my e-mail again. I had one new.

One from Tomoyo.

From: Tomoyo
To: Sakura

Where ARE you? I was expecting you to call me back after last night! (Thanks for waking me up by the way. NOT)

Send me some pictures will you? Or can you even do that? Whatever, just see what you can do!

I miss you so MUCH Sakura! Five weeks left! I'm surprised I survived this long without you. I'm surprised Kero survived this long without you. He's scrating at the deck legs at the moment, that's how annoyed he is with you not being here.

Please e-mail me back ASAP! I need info, Meilin told me about the "hunt" thing and her plan, I need to know if it worked! E ME BACK!
Tomoyo

From: Sakura
To: Tomoyo

Sorry about the wait Tomoyo (though it wasn't very long) but I didn't sleep AT ALL last night! OMG you would not believe what happened. Here goes…HE KISSED ME.
Sucks doesn't it?
Why, you may ask? Because I LIKED it and I'll never see him again after this summer.
Oh, and he just asked me to a movie for tomorrow, and I said yes. I am dead, worse than dead, I am history.

What is this about some all-powerful "plan"? You had better tell me Tomoyo Daidouji or…else. I'll think of something later.

If Kero starts clawing again, just put a little peanut butter on his nose. That'll keep him busy for a while. It works, believe me.
Sakura

After I was done the whole e-mail thing, my time was up and the computer shut down, all by itself.

I hated it when it did that.

With a strangled sigh I got up from the computer and walked back into the elevator.

Now, I would go to sleep. A much needed sleep.

Besides, I had to have dinner with dad and Touya that night, and I needed to be well rested for that.

Who knew what would happen.

Okay! Hope you liked it! Review!
