Recap of chapter 3 ,
She started to stay deep in thought as she walked. She couldn't get the idea of Li possibly knowing Wolf as well. A thought than struck her, "What if their brothers?"
She smiled at that thought. She thought it made perfect sense, it would answer why they looked so much a like but different. "They could be twin brothers!"
Chapter 4: Is Something More Than You've Ever Seen
The next morning Syaoran walked into Sakura's literature class and found that he was having trouble looking at her. He was struggling with being able to face her thinking that his other half, which also meant he himself, had probably slept with her. He found it difficult to walk into class thinking he had just had sex with his teacher.
Nevertheless he took a seat in her class and tried to act as normal as he could while she sat at her desk drinking coffee waiting for class to start, he noticed she drank a lot of coffee. How could she act so normal around him when she knew if she slept with him or not? Well…she didn't exactly know that it was he…and he could be wrong about the whole thing.
Thinking he could be wrong calmed him a bit and he was finally able to ease up a bit and get ready to focus on class. He decided he would talk to her after class and try and find out if his suspicions were true. He would even suck up with the apple he had in his pocket.
When class was getting ready to start he saw Sakura place her coffee mug down and stand up. She smiled to the class and he couldn't help but think she had a beautiful smile. "Wolf has great taste if she was the one he got," he couldn't stop himself from thinking. As much as he hated to admit it because he hated Wolf's actions, his lit professor was very attractive.
"Okay everybody, time to start today's lesson!" Sakura called snapping Syaoran out of his thoughts and pulling out his books for the class that Sakura instructed them to take out.

At the end of class, Sakura reminded them about the assignment due soon and sat down with a tired sigh at her desk. She started chugging down the rest of her coffee needing the caffeine to make it through the rest of the day.
"You know Kinomoto-sensei, eating an apple is the same as drinking a cup of coffee only healthier, it's a natural caffeine you know," a voice spoke, snapping Sakura mid chug, causing her to start to choke as some coffee went down her wind pipe.
She slammed her mug down and placed one hand on her chest while the other covered her mouth. The figure that caused the little episode to happen came up behind her and started to quickly pat her back. When she decided she could breathe again she said in a raspy voice from all her coughing, "You know one of the worst things to do when someone is choking is to pat him or her on their back."
She looked at who had snuck up on her and saw that it was none other than Syaoran Li. He smirked at her when he heard what she said and replied, "That only counts if they're choking on a solid object, sorry sensei, but last time I checked coffee was a liquid."
"Nice to know you know your first aid," she returned his smirk.
"They do make you take a course in high school," he paused for a minute, "And I was serious about the apple thing, you never know, you could live longer, they're a lot healthier you know."
"I'll take that into consideration," her voice was a monotone.
"Well I just so happen to have one so you can!" he exclaimed happily as he pulled an apple out of his coat pocket. "For you my teacher."
Sakura stared at his outstretched hand with an apple in his palm. She blankly looked at the fruit in her student's hand not making a move to take it.
"This is where you take it and say 'thank you'," Syaoran replied helpfully.
Slowly she reached out and took the apple from him and placed it down on her desk. But instead of saying thank you she said, "You know it's usually kindergartners and all those younger grades that give their teachers apples."
Syaoran shrugged, "Yeah but at a young age you have a very bad coffee addiction, I simply wanted to help."
"How do you know I have a coffee addiction? You barely know me," she crossed her arms over her chest and gave a small humph at the idea of her having an addiction.
"Because over the time I've been in your class you have about two cups before class and once class is over you race to get more, only God knows how much you drink when you're not at school."
"Okay stop being mean and tell me why you're here after class," her left eye started to twitch, it usually did that when she got annoyed, Syaoran noticed this.
"Uhm, I wanted to ask you about this friend you said you had…Wolf?" he was now nervous and successfully stopped his voice from stuttering.
Sakura couldn't stop the blush that formed on her cheeks at the mention of Wolf, Syaoran noticed this and felt colour drained from his face as he thought his worst fear was coming true. "What about him?"
"H-have you done anything with him? Y-you know, intimate or something like that?" he couldn't keep the stutter out of his voice this time and immediately felt stupid.
Sakura frowned at his question, "Why would you want to know?"
"J-just wondering, really curious," he cursed himself for continuing to stutter.
"Not to be rude Li, but I don't think that's really any of your business."
"But I really need to know!" he exclaimed desperately.
Sakura stared at him for a bit, her eyes narrowing into little slits as she stared at his desperate face. "Did you know you look exactly like him?" she asked innocently.
Once again the colour drained from his face as he tried to think of a response, "W-well I guess we have some similarities…" he held his breath waiting for what she would say next.
"Are you twins or something?" she asked what she concluded they were last night.
"Y-yeah, we're twins," he lied deciding to go along with her suggestion. "He's younger than me by two minutes," he continued to fib her.
"I always thought you too were related…so were you only asking concerned over your little brother and his activities?"
"You have no idea how concerned," Syaoran thought. "Yes I was just concerned."
"Okay, I guess I can tell you since you are just being a concerned older brother…" Sakura blushed, "We've kissed a couple of times and I did sleep with him a few nights ago, but I left before he woke up…there's nothing really going on between us."
"O-okay, thank you sensei…" he stuttered once again as he left the room.
"Good bye Li!" she called as he left the class. She stared at the apple she had been given and her almost empty coffee mug that she never got to finish because of Syaoran's interruption. She looked back to the apple and then the coffee mug again. She reached over and grabbed the apple and took a bite out of it.

Outside the room Syaoran was leaning against the wall breathing heavily. He was right, his suspicions were right, it was she, and Wolf's last victim was Kinomoto-sensei. Normally he was angry whenever Wolf picked up some random girl forcing him to wake up beside them the next morning, but for some reason he couldn't help but feel proud that he had gotten Kinomoto-sensei. He would admit that he did have a bit of a crush on her, he enjoyed their conversation in the class and when he got the chance the touch her when he patted her on her back he felt excited. He felt approval for Wolf's choice this time and he hated that because she was his professor. He realised why he actually felt happy now, knowing that it was she from two nights ago.
"I like her," he muttered to himself. "I don't want him to get any other girl at night but her."
He watched as the door opened beside him as Kinomoto-sensei walked out. He couldn't stop the smile from spreading across his face as he saw her eating the apple he had given her.
"Nice to know she listens to me," he whispered.

Sakura walked into the teacher's lounge where she walked up to the sink and poured out the rest of her coffee. Right as she did that, someone came running over to her.
"SAKURA GUESS WHAT!" Tomoyo came running over to her excitedly but stopped dead in her tracks as she looked at what her best friend was doing.
"Oh my god…are you doing what I think you're doing?" she asked slowly.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Sakura raised an eyebrow at her.
"You're pouring coffee down the sink! That's not like you," Tomoyo shook her head in disbelief. "And…is that an apple? You never eat fruit."
"Yes, I'm doing exactly what you said Tomoyo," Sakura answered like it was no big deal. Tomoyo stared wide-eyed at her friend. The next thing Sakura knew, there was a hand on her forehead.
"W-what are you doing Tomoyo?" she asked confusedly.
"I'm checking to see if you have a fever. You have to be sick if you're eating fruit and pouring out your coffee." She pulled her hand away, felt her own forehead to compare their temperatures and gave Sakura a thoughtful look, "Strange…you don't have a fever."
"That's because I'm not sick," Sakura replied while rolling her eyes at her friend.
"Then why were you doing that than?" Tomoyo was confused know, she sometimes didn't understand what went on in her friend's head.
"A friend told me eating an apple is the same as drinking a cup of coffee."
"And you listened to them?" Tomoyo stared at her.
"Why not? I trust them," she shrugged.
"Just doesn't sound like you, that's all," Tomoyo quietly answered.
"So what did you come running up here to tell me?" Sakura tried to change the subject.
Tomoyo's face immediately brightened when she was reminded of her previous intentions, "Right! I wanted to tell you I have another date with Eriol tonight!"
"Really? Again? That's great Tomoyo! Are thing's getting serious with this one?" she asked happily, she was glad her friend found someone she liked so much.
Tomoyo blushed lightly, "I don't know if they're going to get really serious right now but I really like him, he's so nice and smart, so different from the other guys I met through those singles ads."
"I'm happy for you, I really am," Sakura smiled at her friend.
"Now we just need to find you someone!" at this Sakura frowned.
"I can find someone myself, I'm not really looking right now."
"Why not? Have you met someone and you haven't told me?" Tomoyo asked accusingly.
The face of Wolf showed up in Sakura's mind as her friend accused her of meeting someone. She mentally shook her head to get rid of the image and responded, "Of course not Tomoyo, I tell you everything."

Once again at night Syaoran was sitting in his apartment working on assignments for his classes. He was having trouble concentrating on what he was typing because his mind kept going back to earlier when he found out that Kinomoto-sensei was, in fact, the girl Wolf had gotten him to sleep with. He realised he brought it up a lot, but thinking that in his very bed had been the lovely professor made him feel like doing back flips…but of course he was way to cool for that.
He walked into his bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror and spoke to his reflection. "How did you manage to do that?"
He shook his head at how crazy he must look, good thing he lived alone. He left the bathroom and headed back to his laptop to continue his assignments.
Around eight o'clock he started to get a headache, like something was trying to climb out of his head. He started to massage his temples, but it didn't do anything to help. He went to his medicine cabinet and took out a bottle of aspirin; he took out two pills and swallowed them before he put the bottle away.
He sat back down in front of his laptop hoping it would go away…it didn't. That could only mean one thing.
"You want to come out tonight?" he groaned. "Fine I did promise that if you left me alone yesterday you could go out today.
And after he said that, everything went black for him.

Just after eight o'clock, Sakura decided to take a walk to Penguin Park. Her apartment was stuffy and a total mess because she hadn't felt like cleaning it lately. It was filled with crumpled papers from rejected lesson plans and she really didn't feel like cleaning those up at the moment.
She made it to the park and sat down on a bench. She sighed at the peacefulness of the park as she looked at how beautiful it looked at night. But a visitor disrupted her peacefulness.
"Funny how we always seem to meet up here."
She looked over to the direction she heard the voice coming from, "Wolf?"
"The one and only," he smirked as he came over and sat beside her on the bench and put his arm over her shoulder pulling her closer to him. She didn't bother pushing him away.
"What are you doing here?" she turned her head to look at him while he looked straight ahead at the penguin slide.
He turned his face to hers and replied in his husky voice, "I thought you would be here." He gently took hold of her face to bring it closer to his and lightly kissed her lips pulling away from her slowly.
"I see you're a sweet talker," she was amused.
"Do you like sweet talkers?" he asked.
"I like that you're a sweet talker," she replied smiling. He smiled back and kissed her again.
"Good," he whispered as he pulled away.
"Why do you waste your time with me? You could get someone your own age or younger, why me? I'm older than you are, I would have thought that would be a turn off," she asked curiously.
"Who said I was younger than you? I never told you my age," he smirked at her before kissing her again more passionately than the other two times.
"Your twin brother is in my lit class at the university, I know he's younger than me for a fact," she breathlessly told him. "I talked with him today you know, he told me he was your twin, said you were younger than him by two minutes."
He was quiet for a few moments before he replied, "I don't have a twin brother."
