Chapter 3: Blush

Author: sapphire-Lady-of the-Night

They dropped Kari two streets before their own. "Why don't you sit here in the front seat Kinomoto?" Syaoran said.

'He's asking you to sit beside him!'

'Don't be foolish! He doesn't even know who I truly am!'

"I'm fine here" Sakura answered.

"I'm not gonna bite you, you know" He smiled.

'Oh God! I just love that smile!' Sakura blushed and looked away.

"Besides, I might look like your driver" Syaoran added.

'So that was it! He just didn't want to look like a driver, foolish girl!'

"Oh okay" Sakura transferred to the front seat.

They rode in silence for the rest of the trip. It felt just like before, she and Syaoran going home together. But he wasn't driving back then. Of course he didn't have a license that time. Sakura studied Syaoran. He had grown more handsome, more attractive, and more…lovable!

'Oh why? We were the perfect couple! Those muscular arms could be wrapping around me now. Those beautiful eyes looking into mine and those lips! Oh God! Those tender, gentle, firm, sweet lips… and I could be the one he loves…

"Expecting someone?" Syaoran suddenly asked.

"W-what?" Sakura stammered.

"There's a black Mercedes outside your house"

"Oh that must be the boarder" Sakura said trying to calm her self. Just the sound of his voice made her heart skip a beat. Syaoran did not answer, instead he got out and before Sakura knew what was happening he had opened the door for her

'So gentleman…'

'Stop it girl! You're only hurting yourself!'

Sakura got out and looked up to thank Syaoran and found those intense eyes staring into her emerald ones. She stared back and couldn't look away.

"See you then" He finally broke the eye contact and turned away to turn off the engine.

"Right" Sakura answered.

Syaoran just nodded not even bothering to look at her. Before Sakura could stop herself she called Syaoran.

"L-Li?"

"Yeah?" He finally turned around to look at her.

"I just want to say thanks" Sakura said.

"No problem" He smiled.

Sakura smiled back at him and almost run towards her door.

'Damn! What were you thinking man! You already have Kari!' Syaoran scolded himself. He stomped off to his house… their old house to be exact. 'Funny I don't remember any of it until mother told me about it'. 'Come to think of it I don't have any recollection or memory here not even Japan! Meilin said that we once stayed here for a long time. Maybe it has something to do with that incident three years ago'

'Stupid Sakura! The man already has a girlfriend and he's not yours anymore!'

'But he rightfully belongs to you!'

'Shut it!'

As Sakura closed the door her stomach growled. 'Eheh…' Sakura sweatdropped. She had forgotten her hunger a while ago. The lights were on the way she left them. The boarder was supposed to be staying in the guest room right beside hers. Touya's room which was unused was in front of her room and at the end of the corridor was her parents' room which was currently empty since her father was away.

She immediately went to the kitchen and started cooking. She can see the lights in Sayoran's house turn on.

"Why oh why?" Sakura heaved a sigh.

She set the table for two wishing it would be Syaoran she would be dinning with tonight. She closed her eyes and pictured Syaoran in her mind. His intense amber eyes and that smile that could melt you like butter in a very hot pan.

'Stop it!' Her mind screamed. Her eyes flew open and found sapphire eyes framed in square spectacles stare into hers.

"Hi!" He smiled.

"Kyaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!" almost jumped out the window.

"Geez! Do I look that bad?" He laughed. He had midnight blue hair and a friendly face.

"No!" Sakura reddened furiously. "It's just you startled me."

Eriol just smiled amused at the embarrassed look Sakura had.

"Good evening! You must be Hirigazawa!" Sakura said when she calmed forcing a smile.

"Yep and you must be Kinomoto Sakura?"

The food she noticed was already served.

"U-huh!" Sakura answered, "Did you find your room?" Sakura asked nervously.

"Yeah no problem" Eriol said. "It's the one next to yours" He answered.

"How did you know?" Sakura asked.

"You wrote it in the white board" Eriol said simply.

"Oh yeah! Hehehe…" Sakura laughed. "Silly me!" She bonked her head.

"Well shall we eat?" Eriol asked.

"O-of course how thoughtless of me!"

Eriol calmly took his seat while shakily took the seat across Eriol.

"So did you just move in the town?" Sakura asked attempting a conversation.

"Not really" Eriol answered. "I've been here though I've been here the past few years"

"Oh I see… So what are you doing here this time? Are you planning to stay long?"

"Yep! I'll be staying here long since I'm planning to take college in White Star University"

"Really? I'm going to study in White Star University too. In fact I'll go there for the enrolment"

"That's great!" He smiled. "You'll be a freshman I guess" He said.

"Yeah… I'm taking a music course"

"Oh that's interesting. I'm taking Psychology"

"Really? So what year this coming school year?"

"Actually I'm going to be a freshman myself" Eriol smiled.

"Hoe! I thought you were older!"

"I didn't know I look that old" He said his eyes were covered with his bangs.

"Gomenasai!!! I didn't mean to insult!" Sakura apologized.

The following Morning…

A silver convertible parked outside the Kinomoto residence. A raven black haired young lady stepped out. Her amethyst gaze rested on the black Mercedes.

"Must be the boarder" She mumbled.

She rang the doorbell several times no one answered. "Sakura must still be asleep" She smiled and turned the doorknob. The door was open she got in and proceeded upstairs. She was just about to open the door of Sakura's room when she noticed the next door was ajar. She peeped inside to satisfy her curiosity. It was empty.

It hadn't really changed much. The bed had dark blue bed sheets and the curtains were also dark blue. There was a computer on a glass table. There was a cabinet on the other corner. Nothing much really. She was so engrossed observing the room she did not notice the door snap close.

Eriol just got inside his room from the bathroom. At first he did not notice the black haired girl. Then as he was about to change he realized someone was standing with her back turned to him. It certainly wasn't Kinomoto. 'Could it be a ghost?' He thought. Kinomoto never mentioned one. 'Well one has to find out.'

"Hrmm…" Eriol cleared his throat. The girl whirled around facing him.

"Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed.

'Should I not be the one who's supposed to be scared?' Eriol sweatdropped.

"Who are you?" her eyes narrowed suspiciously. Her amethyst gaze traveled from his face down to his chest then his to toweled lean waist. A blush crept to her cheeks. 'She's actually beautiful' Eriol thought.

"Goodness am I always going to be screamed at?" He smiled. She turned even redder and looked away.

"Sumemasen! I should never have come in" She mumbled.
