Chapter 4

Hokaku smiled at Sakura and said,

"It's okay!" Then continued walking.

"So how did you two meet?" Tomoyo asked.

"Oh! Mom and his parents knew each other. They wanted us to marry. Dad didn't like the idea to much." Sakura said sadly.

"Don't worry Sakura! You have me, Hokaku, and Li. Plus that teacher guy at school!" Tomoyo exclaimed. Li and Hokaku both shot Sakura a questioning look.

"He's my councelor! How many times do I have to tell you?"

"I got it Sakura!"

"Thank you! Oh! Were home! So I guess I'll see you tomorrow Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.

"Nope! Mom wants me to stay with you because she's going on a business trip! I told you last week. Remember?"

"Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me. So what are we going to do for food?" Sakura asked.

"That's where I come in!" someone exclaimed behind them. Sakura turned around to see Eirol standing there.

"I'm rich and all so I decided that I would help you out Sakura! Plus I wanted to get to know Hokaku better. I'm Eirol Hiiragazawa! (A/N: I think I spelt that wrong. Does anyone one know how to spell his last name?) I'm a family member of Li's." Eirol introduced. Hokaku held his hand out and said,

"Hokaku Tanaki! Its a pleasure. I'm the second most richest guy in Hong Kong! Apparently the Li family is richer then me. If I meet a Li then I will hate them." Li stood staring at Hokaku as Sakura started for the door.

"I'm heading to my room now! Tomoyo you can have the extra room. Li and Hokaku can pick between my dad's and brother's rooms. See ya!" Sakura exclaimed then ran inside.

Sakura sat on her bed staring at the picture of her and Kero together when she was younger. It sat right next to the picture of her mom.

"Mom... hope you found dad and Toya up there with you." Sakura mumbled. She sat down and stared at her pitiness.She soon fell asleep into a dreamless slumber.

Tomoyo sat with Eirol talking.

"So how is she?" Eirol asked.

"Well she hasn't broke down or anything. I'm still worried. She acted like nothing was wrong though."

"Watch her. Just in case. I've been trying to track down who shot her brother and dad, but nothing has came up yet."

"Keep looking you'll find something eventually." Tomoyo said then left the room. Li entered to see Eirol.

"Talking about Sakura to Tomoyo? You know she won't like that." Li said as he opened the fridge.

"Yeah I know! But what about you my cute little decendent? What about Sakura? Does she even know that you still love her?" Eirol said as he crept up behind Li.

"She's engadged to Hokaku. What can I do? Plus I don't love her. She's a friend!" Li exclaimed as he ran out of the kitchen. Eirol smiled as he watched Li go.

Li sat outside thinking.

' I don't love her! I used to! But I still care for her.' he thought. He looked up to see Sakura's bedroom window open.

' Maybe I still do. My heart flutters everytime I think about her... I have to tell her!' Li exclaimed as he headed inside to her room.

Hokaku watched Li walk upstairs.

' What is he doing?' Hokaku thought as he followed Li silently.

To be continued...

So... will Li tell Sakura how he feels or will he cower? Well you'll have to read to find out in Chapter 5. Bye!
