Chap. 7

Sakura run down the road with her roller blades on. She swished side to side expertly making sure to look at where she was heading. She breathed in the cool air as she sighed happily. Minutes later she entered her school heading towards her locker. She removed her blades then put on her shoes. She then get all the things she will need then leave walking up to her classroom. Every person that she had passed looked at her smiling at how hanyan she was.

"Good morning!" she greeted, having seen them smiling, she smiled back.

She entered her room and the next thing she knew, she was already engulfed in a tight group hug. Everybody around her keep on saying 'how are you?', 'glad you're back!', and 'we missed you!'.

"Guys! Can't. breathe!" she choked then they immediately let her go.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo squealed as she once more hugged her friend.

"Tomoyo.." she said then hugged her friend back.

"Did you know that Americans~" Takashi said from behind getting a slap from Chiharu.

"Stop it!" she said making the others laughed as they watched the two couples run around.

"Hey!" Rika said making Sakura smile at her.

"I missed you guys!" she said making them smiled at her.

"We missed you too, Sakura!" Naoko said as the others nodded in agreement.

"Uh.. Sorry 'cause we didn't visited you in the hospital. 'Cause you know! A lot of work from that old man!" Chiharu said while Sakura just shook her head.

"It's ok! Glad I don't have to stay there much longer! You know guys I hate the doctor who checked me up! He gave me an injection once and it's oh so very painful!" she exclaimed making them shook their head helplessly at their friend.

"What?" she asked raising a brow making them laugh. Then the teacher came in and they all went back in their seats sighing.

"Well Ms. Kinomoto.. Glad you're back!" said the teacher.

"Umm.. Ohayo Terada sensei! Well.. I'm glad I'm back too.." she said sheepishly making the others giggled.

"Ok then! Let's start.." he said making them groaned while he just shook his head then continue on their lesson.

*~*~*Lunch time*~*~*

(I'm making it faster.. 'cause I don't wanna babble any longer about school hours and all.. And you know why? For me, school sucks! I'm sorry.)

Sakura and the others we're eating and talking on their usual place..

"Hey Sakura! Tell us what happened when you're on the hospital!" Chiharu said making the others nod.

"But?.. Didn't I tell you about it already?" she asked while they just shook her head.

"I mean about Syaoran. He was there, isn't he?" Chiharu replied making her nod.

"Well.. Nothing happened.." she said lowering her head. Her hair was covering her face.

'Nothing..' she whispered softly so that no one could hear as her thoughts flew back on what happened that day.

"Hello? Earth to Sakura?" Naoko said waving her hands in her face breaking her thoughts away.

"Are you sure nothing happened?" Chiharu asked taking a bite on her hamburger and giving her a look.

"Re-really!" Sakura said defensively.

"Really..?" Chiharu asked again making Sakura laugh nervously. (Why is she getting nervous? I don't know ^_^;)

"Oh..? Why does she looked so nervous?" Tomoyo asked as she started taping her with her newest camera.

"It-It's nothing I ah.. I.. I need to go to the bathroom!" she said standing up making them smirk.

"I'll be right back!" she added before running off. Chiharu laughed and so the others.

"Do you think something happened?" Rika asked getting their attention.

"We'll find out sooner or later.." Tomoyo said smiling devilishly.

"Guys, I think the bathroom is on the other way.." Naoko said pointing at Sakura's back who is heading at the school's back.

"You're right.." Chiharu said making them giggle.

*~*~*Sakura*~*~*

Sakura ran all her way to the school's back. (I don't now what you call it but for me it's School's back.. ^_^; Anyway if anyone (I know everyone) knows about it, could you kindly tell it to me.. Pleasee?? Tynx guyz!)

She headed up to the same Cherry blossom tree then stopped panting.

"That was close.." she said taking deep breaths.

She sat on the grass then leaned her head (and back) on the tree turning her attention to the sky. Cool winds brushed against her as she listened to whooshing sound of the grass and the leaves on the tree. She closed her eyes and sighed loving the feeling she was getting. It was so peaceful. It feels like she was floating in the sky.

"I just love~" she said softly but was cut off when she heard footsteps coming. She immediately stood up and tried to hide in the bush taking a peek to see who it is.

"Are you sure she was here?" she heard a boy asked.

"Yeah, my friend saw her." Another voice came but it seemed like it was scared.

"Well, where is she?!" he yelled frustrated making Sakura almost jumped.

"I.. I don't know." The boy said as the group of man appeared in her sight. The one, who is much taller than the other, grabbed the boy in his collar as he lifted him off the ground. Her eyes widened realizing it was Xin's group with Syaoran's (get it? Syaoran's group and Xin where different but they all gang up together.. Syaoran's group were not bad except for Xin's) and the boy who seemed like a year younger than her.

"Are you kidding me?!" Xin asked making him shook his head shivering.

"You should know never to joke around us!" Another one said as they started throwing punches and kicks on him.

*~*~*Syaoran*~*~*

Syaoran's groupmates just smirk leaning on the trees not one of them moving while he just shook his head watching how Xin's group tortured the poor little boy. He then turned his attention when he saw someone peeking on the bushes. He slipped away easily unnoticed as he walked behind the tree turning straight at the bush. There, he saw a girl with mid-length auburn hair. Her eyes were wide as she watched them. He then recognized her eyes.

'Sakura!' he thought shocked as he ran up to her.

*~*~*Sakura*~*~*

Sakura was watched in horror as they all did the same. She didn't know what to do as her heart beats fast. She heard the boy screamed and begged for help but her knees were stucked. It feels like her whole body was paralyzed.

'Am I the one they're looking for?' she thought. Her fist tightened thinking it was her fault. She put up all the strength she needed then stood up and was ready to help but yelped in surprise when a strong arm wrapped around her waist and the other one covered her mouth.

"Shh.. It's me.." a firm voice said sending shivers down her spine.

He then picked her up and started to jump up to the nearest tree with the branch that stucked out. He didn't have any problem for she was just light.

Sakura felt her self being lifted. She the looked up only to be met by a pair of deep amber eyes.

"What are you doing here?!" he asked in a low angry voice making her shivered.

"I.. I'm.. Im just.." she said. Her body was leaning against his for he decided not to put her down. She then looked away trying to avoid his eyes.

"Don't you know that it's dangerous out there?! And yet, you're trying to help that boy?! You must be crazy!" he yelled making her shut her eyes feeling tears whelming inside.

*~*~*Xin*~*~*

"Guys! It's enough! Let's leave!" he said making them nod throwing last kicks at him.

"Hey? Have you seen Syaoran?" Alex, one of Syaoran's friend, asked

"No we haven't. Why?" Xin said.

"He suddenly disappear." Alex said scratching the back of his head making them shrugged.

"Maybe he decided to walked around. Let's go!" Eriol said making them nod. They started to walked off leaving the boy behind.

'I know you'll protect her Syaoran' Eriol thought as he take a quick glance at the tree where they where hiding, a smirk was on his face. Of course, being his best friend and having them trained together, he knew a lot about what he's planning to do. I mean, what he thinks and so on and so forth.. (Gets? If there's something confusing, please tell me.. Tynx!)

*~*~*Sakura*~*~*

Sakura watched them leave and make sure not to make any noise as they passed the tree where they were hiding. She could hear them laughing, talking about the boy.

"That would remind him never to mess with them." He stated making her looked up to him. His face shows no emotion which make her raised a brow.

"What? You mean you don't care about him?" she asked getting pissed at how cold-hearted he is.

"Why should I?" he said looking straight in her eyes.

"How~?!" she yelled but was cut off when Syaoran pressed his lips against her making her eyes widened.

"Let's leave the boy.." one of Xin's friend said.

"All right!" another one replied.

They stayed there for a while. Syaoran's eyes were closed while she just looked at him shocked. How could he do that?!

When all of them were gone, he pulled away still looking at her.

"What are you saying?" he asked making her tightened her fist. She decided to pull away from him but his hands were still around her. She tried to pushed herself but her strength was not enough.

"Going so soon? You haven't answer my question yet." He said getting a glare from her.

She then elbowed him on the stomach making him yelp in pain immediately letting her go. She jumped down the tree landing safely having learned about (martial arts remember?) gymnastics.

Syaoran watched her with awe as she ran up to the boy who looked badly beaten. He placed a hand on his stomach where she elbowed him and cringe in pain.

'She got me there.' He thought as he too jumped down walking up to her.

"Hold on.." she said as the boy laid there unconcious.

"Hey you! Help me here!" she said making him raised a brow.

"How rude.." he mocked hurt getting a glare from her making him smirk.

He then lifted the boy up, Sakura following behind as they headed to the clinic.
