In my opinion, it was a bit… random. But yes everyone, this will be entering back into the usual plot and on with the storyline.

Happy Reading : )

Sakura gave an awkward wave and ran off, leaving Syaoran looking dazed and wondering why Sakura had acted so different to how she usually was… Sakura meanwhile, had a single thought running through her mind:

When did I start to become like this?

CHAPTER EIGHT - Code Name

Do I really like Syaoran? Sakura asked herself, her cheeks turning red not just because of the speed she was sprinting at. She had felt a fluttering feeling every time she saw, or thought of Syaoran, but never took it to mind. She thought the feeling was nothing and usually ignored it... Though. It. Wasn't. Oh my gosh. I'm making such a big deal outta this... Sakura thought to herself again, this time turning pale. She tried to wipe out the thoughts which could permanently stick inside her mind and was on her street. Turning her pace into a quick trot, Sakura reached her house and entered through the back door. The second she closed the door...

"Where the hell have you been Sakura? You better not have done anything with that Chinese gaki!" Touya yelled at his sister, who covered her ears in pain, and also refrained from blushing. Her father had appeared on the scene.

"Sakura-chan, I thought you were staying with Tomoyo for the night? Or did you already finish your homework?" Her father queried.

Sakura uncovered her hands and quickly pondered what Tomoyo had lied about.

"Hai, hai." She answered, and went to her room straightaway, locking the door behind her. Downstairs, a certain loud voice was echoing around the house:

"But Otou-" Touya began, but his father interrupted, "Now Touya-san, you shouldn't bother your sister. She was just finishing off her homework at Daijoujii-san's home. Though I am saddened that you couldn't help her..."

"She never said anything about any homework though! Don't you see; she could be just making up excuses!" Touya exclaimed, but his father shook his head.

"Why would she lie about study?" was his reply. Touya just sighed, and went up stairs.

Touya was beginning to become suspicious about Sakura's actions. It appeared as though she had spent more time out of the house than in these days. He paused in the middle of the staircase and went back down. At the kitchen, he took out some slices of cake and a glass of milk from the fridge, placing the items on a tray to bring to Sakura. Making his way upstairs, he stopped outside her door; Touya could hear Sakura's voice through the door. Leaning to the door, he rested his ear against it and listened to Sakura talk:

"You did what?" Sakura gasped in surprise when she finally gotten Tomoyo to talk to her about what had happened previously after she had made several calls to her house.

"Ano… ano…" Tomoyo was at a lost for words. Why had she told Sakura the truth out of all things?

"I don't believe it; why did you do that…?" Sakura sighed; she didn't especially like her friend to lie, and for something as stupid as that. She wasn't impressed, what had Tomoyo been trying to do anyway…? She ended the phone conversation and got up from her bed to place it on her desk, and decided to log on to the computer sitting on her desk.

A few minutes later, she was finishing her homework when someone IMed her. Opening the window, she saw that it was Tomoyo.

Raven Haired Girl (Tomoyo) - Hey what happened before?

Serenity Kiss (Sakura) - I'm busy.

Raven Haired Girl - With Syaoran? ; )

Serenity Kiss - Hoe…? No! What makes you think that?

Raven Haired Girl - Well… you were with Syaoran before…

Serenity Kiss - Yeah. Key word 'before'.

Raven Haired Girl - So what did you do with Syaoran anyway? I was still downstairs with Eriol. Sure you two didn't get up to anything naughty sweetie?

Serenity Kiss - NO.

Serenity Kiss - I.

Serenity Kiss - DIDN'T.

Serenity Kiss - FOR.

Serenity Kiss - THE.

Serenity Kiss - LAST.

Serenity Kiss - TIME.

Raven Haired Girl - Alright, alright I get the point!

Outside, Touya decided to make his presence known. Sakura didn't seem to be doing anything at the moment. He knocked on the door and attempted to open the door. It was locked.

"Gosh what now?" Sakura looked to the door, and back to the computer screen. She sighed, and quickly typed a reply:

Serenity Kiss - Hey brb.

She then got up from her pink computer chair and went to unlock the door. When she saw Touya, she grimaced.

"What do you want now?" Sakura asked sternly. "I'm busy at the moment."

"I wanna talk with you." Touya replied, seating himself at the little coffee table in the middle of the room, "About what you've been up to recently."

"For your information, I haven't been up to anything Oni-san. The only thing I've really been doing is just socializing." Sakura answered flatly, sitting across from her brother. She saw the strawberry cake which was the attention of the room at the moment, and decided to take a piece. Chewing slowly, she noticed Touya looking at her curiously.

Touya stared at Sakura, he was hiding a smirk which was about to spread all over his face. She noticed the expression, and when she finished her piece of cake, she asked,

"Why are you smiling idiotically?"

Touya smirked even more. "Did you like that cake?"

"Hai… Of course, Otou-san made it! … Huh?" Sakura saw Touya's expression changed quickly into a look of surprise as she drank her milk slowly through a straw.

"DidI hearright? This cake which I made is of the same quality of Otou-san's?" He grinned, as Sakura realised what Touya had said.

"Out! Now! I don't want to eat anymore of this poisoned food!" She got up, and forced Touya out of her room. Sakura managed to shut the door after her brother had left, and double-locked the door this time. Getting back to her computer seat, she read the incoming IM's which had popped up onto the screen while she had been making conversation with Touya.

Raven Haired Girl - K.

Raven Haired Girl - Better not be doing any particular things Sakura-chan!

Raven Haired Girl - Wait…

Raven Haired Girl - You're not doing anything with Syaoran are you…?

Raven Haired Girl - OMGH. You're seriously doing something with Syaoran!

Serenity Kiss - No! What makes you think that!

Raven Haired Girl - You take your time missy. What were you up to anyway? Are you sure there was no (dirty) business?

Serenity Kiss - That's it. You're dead.

Raven Haired Girl - Hey! Hey! I was kidding okay!

Raven Haired Girl - Sakura!

Sakura sighed, and minimized the window, and opened a window to do some internet browsing for information. She just remembered that she had an animal project due the following week, but she hadn't really done much yet. Sakura heard a distinctive 'ping' continuously coming from the computer, and decided to mute the sound. She loaded up her play list and began to listen to a new song she had gotten:

Jasmin - Yui Makino.

As the familiar tune sung through the speakers, Sakura went back to searching for Pandas.

Tomoyo sighed as she stopped the IM-Bombing which she had inflicted on Sakura. Seeing as she had not replied, Tomoyo considered herself to be in big trouble tomorrow when she met up with Sakura, though how much... well, she had no idea. Tomoyo went to her large bookcase, selected a book and sat on her comfy velvet couch. She was reading through the scenes of a thick-novel when the telephone next to the couch rang noisily. Tomoyo sighed, she had been enjoying the chapter she had been reading, but put a bookmark on her page and leaned across the couch to grab the receiver.

"Hello; Daijouji residence." She talked into the phone. A familiar voice sounded:

"It's me!" Eriol yelled through the phone. Tomoyo winced and held the receiver back. Typical Eriol. She didn't know sometimes why she still went out with him.

"Hai… So what's the reason you're calling…?" Tomoyo asked him, feeling annoyed that Eriol had interrupted her reading session.

"Well, just asking about the whole 'Reaquaintance' thing of yours. What was the outcome of the situation Captain?" Eriol joked.

"Ah; well in truth, nothing happened. Sakura basically ditched Syaoran." Tomoyo thought about the phrasing of her words, and decided to rephrase them, "In reality, I guess they got creeped out about us hanging around and… went off?"

"I see. Though…" Eriol paused thoughtfully.

"Nani?" Tomoyo asked curiously.

"Shouldn't you be giving them 'code names' or something? What if someone were to ponder upon what we, or mainly you, are trying to do? Especially if it's the particular party concerned." Eriol suggested, and Tomoyo made a funny smile when she heard that. "Code names'… I should have expected Eriol to come up with something as weird as that. I mean, that could almost sound robotic or something, Tomoyo thought to herself.

"Eeto… If you insist Eriol-kun. But… I'm useless with names. What do you suggest? And nothing ridiculous." Tomoyo laughed over the receiver.

"Hm… how about Arukasu and Naroaysu?" Eriol voiced his thought. (A/N The names are written backwards, with an additional 'su' added to the rear end of the name)

"Eh? How do you work that out?" Tomoyo asked, laughing over the receiver, "That's too, complex for you to remember." She jokingly mocked Eriol, "How about we shorten that to, let's say, 'Aru' and 'Naro'?"

"Wow… you are as, random, as me. In the whacked up version." Eriol commented.

"… Right." Tomoyo paused for a second then continued, "Then is it decided? I need to get back to my novel."

"You and your books. Yeah, sure, we'll stick with those, whatever. Bye, love ya." Eriol signaled the end of their conversation.

"Yeah, love you too." Tomoyo replied, and disconnected. Now… back to my precious novel, she thought to herself.

LATE AT NIGHT

Syaoran lay awake, in his new four-poster bed. He couldn't get to sleep at this late time, only having slightly gotten use to the jet-lag which had slowly muddled up his brain. He was still puzzling over Sakura's behaviour that afternoon. Though, come to think of it, Tomoyo and Eriol's attitude were pretty weird as usual. Perhaps the trio before he had arrived had changed dramatically. No, Syaoran thought, Well… Tomoyo and Eriol have always been like that, I guess since they started going out, but Sakura is pretty much simple-minded and cheerful. That afternoon was a bit different than what he had expected. Beginning with the 'trespassing' involving the three of them and ending up with the strange exit of Sakura. Wow… all this thinking was getting Syaoran confused. He tried to fall asleep, but found that he couldn't. His will wouldn't listen to him. Instead, thoughts of the incoming day flash through his mind:

-Waking up in his house, not knowing where he was

-Knowing that he'll have to make breakfast without burning it

-Walking to school - Gosh, he'd get lost on the way perhaps

-And the-

Damn. He had forgotten. The 'Lunch'. Which the fan-girl Ruroshi and such were organizing. And that baka principal Hagashi-sensei. Shoot… what a day to look forwards to… not.

Suddenly, his cell phone, which was sitting on his bedside table vibrated.

"Shuddap… stupid phone." Syaoran muttered trying to grab the cell phone off the table. When he managed to pick it up, the phone read:

New Message, Read?

He selected the 'ok' button, flipping open the phone, and quickly read the message.

'Hey Syaoran. It's me, Sakura. Tomorrow... do you wanna walk together? If so, I'll meet you at your house. And we'll meet up with Tomoyo on the way. Can't wait for tomorrow! I've made some takoyaki for the lunch… and I think Touya's made me some extra bento too. So we could always ditch your lunch thing if you want instead. Yeah… anyway, night! Jya ne!'

Syaoran smiled. Luckily for him, he didn't need to worry about walking to school tomorrow. So that would be something to cross off his list. He lay in his bed, grinning for no reason, still holding on to his phone, and fell asleep instantaneously; though, a very tiny thought in his mind wondered how Sakura had gotten his number…

Japanese Definitions:
