Chapter 4

Breaking News... With Cake!

"Otou-san! What's he doing here?!" An enraged Sakura asked.

"That's right, Okaa-san! Why did you even tell me that I was engaged to that tomboy?! After last week, I never wanted to see her again!!!" Syaoran exclaimed.

"Sumimasen?! Look who's talking?! You're SUCH A JERK!!!" Sakura barked at Syaoran, who fumed.

Syaoran stood up from his seat and glared at Sakura, yelling, "It's not my fault that I'm stuck with a BAKA LUNATIC!!!"

Sakura glared back at him; her eyes, ablaze. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BAKA LUNATIC?!?!?!?!"

"Settle down, both of you! Let's discuss this!" Fujitaka Kinomoto, Sakura's father, said. Sakura and Syaoran turned their backs on each other and sat down nowhere near each other.

Sighing, Touya took a seat beside Sakura and whispered, "don't worry Squirt... You'll get through..." "As if," Sakura growled, "I'd rather be stuck with a toad."

"Now, when you two were still kids, around 2-4 years old; Sakura's mother and I were very good friends with Mrs. And Mr. Li..." Fujitaka stated. Mrs. Li (AN/ Gomen! I don't know her name!) cleared her throat and said, "we promised that both of you, since you two had become close, would be engaged. So even when our family moved to Hong Kong, we didn't let our little boy go out with any girls." "I'm not a little boy..." Syaoran grumbled as he crossed his arm indignantly.

"Oh yes you are..." Touya muttered softly and Sakura giggled in agreement. Syaoran just glared at the siblings.

"Syaoran's father is sick right now, so he cannot come today. Anyway, you two should learn to be friendly with each other again. So... both of you will spend time with each other every weekend, you will go with each other even with your friends, and Syaoran will walk Sakura home after school." Mrs. Li announced as Sakura and Syaoran stared at her in aghast.

"B-but, you can't do this to me, Okaa-san!" Syaoran begged.

"O-Otou-san!!! I don't want to be seen anywhere near that jerk!!!" Sakura stated angrily. "Sakura, you have to. And you will." Fujitaka told her as Sakura stormed out of the room.

"I'm going home, Okaa-san." Syaoran said as he walked out of the cha-no-ma angrily.

Touya sighed and left the room, saying, "I'm gonna look after them, don't worry..."

"Ohayo gozaimasu..." Sakura greeted her brother who was reading the newspaper on the dining room table. It was the next day and Sakura didn't want to be late for school.

"Ohayo Squirt." Touya greeted back, not looking up from the newspaper that he was reading. Sakura didn't comment at the nickname and just continued to eat. Hearing no reaction, Touya looked up and saw that Sakura's eyes were red and she looked sleepy even though she already had a bath.

"What happened to you? Have you been crying?" Touya asked her worriedly and Sakura just shook her head.

"It's nothing... Don't worry..." Sakura said softly as she placed the dishes on the sink. Picking up her bag, she told him, "I'm going... You don't have to bring me there."

"I won't... I have to go to work. Someone's here to do that though," Touya said as he stood up. "If you try to get away from the person, you're gonna get in big trouble. You'll never be able to do that."

Sakura blinked at him as he left the room and shrugged. 'Whatever.'

Sakura walked to the hall and saw Syaoran with his back turned away from her.

"NOT YOU AGAIN!!!" Sakura cried in aghast.

"It's not my fault, 'ya know. Okaa-san and Otou-san forced me to come... Now let's go." Syaoran muttered as he walked to the door and walked out of it, holding it open for her.

"Why are you suddenly being all nice?" Sakura inquired cautiously as she stepped out too.

"Because Okaa-san placed a pin that has a video camera on me... I can't get it off..." Syaoran whispered to Sakura, pointing at a pin with a yin and yang symbol on his shirt. "They can't hear what's going on but they can see... I'm supposed to do what they told me yesterday and not treat you badly or they're gonna kill me..."

"You mean they're gonna see everything you do and you're supposed to do those baka rules they told you to do!?" Sakura gasped as Syaoran nodded miserably.

"I heard them before I left; they said that they're the only one's who can remove the pins..." Syaoran sighed.

"Er... Pins? You mean there are more?" Sakura asked, gloomily.

"I suspect that they will put the others in each of my clothing, any time possible." Syaoran answered.

"Then why don't you buy new clothes."

"They put pins on my clothes already, remember? And they don't give me enough money in my allowance to buy some..."

"Oh..."

They neared the school in silence; Sakura was five steps apart to his right. Both of them were thinking deeply about what will happen to them.

"Sakura!!!" A female voice called out. Sakura stopped abruptly and turned to stone. (AN/ You know... Anime style.) "No... Kami-sama is trying to torture me even more..." Sakura mourned softly so that only Syaoran could hear her.

Curiously, Syaoran looked in the direction the voice was coming from and saw Tomoyo running up to them. "Oh no! No not now! Your friend's gonna see us... TOGETHER!" Syaoran panicked softly.

"Oooooh... What do we have here?" Tomoyo asked slyly as she stopped in front of them and giggled. "Is there something you're hiding from me, Sakura?"

"It's nothing Tomoyo. I might tell you later." Sakura mumbled as she walked quickly towards the school gates. Syaoran, thinking that Tomoyo would ask him, left right after Sakura; keeping a good 2 feet between them so that nobody would think what they were going out or something.

Tomoyo blinked at the 2 retreating figures and smirked. 'Oh... would you look at that? They had better explain that later...'

"Everybody will make cakes. I will pair everyone up and you will choose a cake which you will bake." Mrs. Haishi, the Home Economics teacher, announced. The students were paired and were placed in tables.

Sakura was paired up with Tomoyo and was placed in a table where Syaoran and Eriol were sitting at.

"Oh no! YOU again?!" Sakura and Syaoran cried out in unison. Eriol and Tomoyo snickered at them.

"You may all begin." Mrs. Haishi said as Syaoran and Sakura groaned in annoyance.

"Tomoyo said that she saw you two TOGETHER when you came to school..." Eriol said quietly so only the 4 of them would hear him.

Sakura and Syaoran blushed scarlet. "Uh... Er... No..." Sakura stammered as she fidgeted with the white bandana on her head that had the Tomoeda High emblem on it. "Um... We'll tell you later... Right now we're gonna bake a cake that's 1000 times better than theirs!" Syaoran sneered as Sakura scowled at him.

"Yeah right! How optimistic!" Sakura jeered at him. "C'mon, Tomoyo! We're far better than they are!"

Syaoran glowered.

"OH YEAH?!"

"YEAH!"

"OH YEAH?!"

"YEAH!"

"YOU'RE ON!"

And they started to pour ingredients in their bowls; their partners- Tomoyo and Eriol- assisted them carefully, not wanting to get in the way of the two's anger.

Sakura mixed. Syaoran measured. Some students stopped a few times to watch them. It was cooking chaos!

Sakura clapped her hands together. The time was up and everyone was done with their cakes. Tomoyo and she made a chocolate cake while Syaoran and Eriol's cake was a carrot cake.

Mrs. Haishi walked around with a clipboard and tasted everyone's cakes. "Splendid, everyone! Well... You should stir less fast, Meilin." She said. Meilin blushed and pouted. "The two most wonderful cakes I've tasted were from Mr. Li's group and Ms. Kinomoto's group!!! Well done!"

The bell rang and everyone placed their cakes in boxes and left the room. Sakura walked with Tomoyo, going out to the school's gardens; Eriol and Syaoran following slowly behind them.

Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran sat down on the grass and placed their cakes in front of them for their lunch. Naoko, Rika, Chiharu and Takeshi weren't going to eat with them because they had things to do; Naoko had to speak with her English teacher, Chiharu and Takeshi were eating their lunch together and Rika had piano lessons.

They cut the 2 cakes and got a slice from the cakes that they baked. They were about to taste it when they heard a ringing sound...

"What was that?" Tomoyo asked. Syaoran pulled out a ringing cell phone from his pocket.

"Moshi moshi." Syaoran asked on the phone.

The others just looked at him curiously when they saw his face pale a bit. Syaoran was talking softly so no one else but the person on the other line could hear him; but from the look of his face, he didn't like what was being said.

"FINE! I will, now SAYONARA!" Syaoran growled at the phone and turned it off. Then he started muttering stuff under his breath.

Tomoyo and Sakura blinked at Syaoran then looked at Eriol questioningly. Eriol just shrugged and looked at Syaoran again.

Syaoran suddenly stopped and looked at Sakura, who stiffened a bit. "Gomen for yelling at you a while a go..." Syaoran said hesitantly with a scowl on his face.

Sakura raised a brow. "Wait! Hold on a sec! 'Did he just say sorry?!' What on earth is happening?"

Syaoran gulped then pointed at the yin and yang pin. "Oh no! I forgot all about that!" Sakura groaned.

Eriol and Tomoyo just looked at the 2 curiously. "What on earth is going on, you two!?" Tomoyo asked in an annoyed tone.

Sakura and Syaoran explained to them everything grudgingly, not making eye-contact with each other or their friends. When they finished and they both blushed madly, looking down on their plates which had held the slice of cake they had just finished eating.

"I can't believe that you guys are engaged!" Eriol whispered, trying to stifle his laughter.

Sakura and Syaoran just glared at Eriol warningly, making him shut up.

The bell rang. Tomoyo stood up and cleaned up their things, then placed their cakes in the boxes. "Let's go. Don't worry. We won't tell." She said before Eriol and she went to the building, carrying the boxes of cake.

Sakura and Syaoran were left alone on the spot. They looked at each other and blushed. "Er... let's go." Syaoran said before the 2 of them walked back to the building in silence, Sakura staying 2 feet ahead of Syaoran.
