Chapter 9: The truth comes out

Sakura was sitting on her room, her bag was packed and placed next to her door. She had everything she needed, and trip was supposed to be great, but she had a weird feeling she couldn't identify.

She heard a knock on her door and it opened slowly. Syaoran's face appeared through it, he looked at her and smiled as he finished opening the door.

"Ready?" he asked grabbing her bag. Sakura stood up and followed him out the room "What's wrong?" He asked as he walked in front of her.

"Nothing! Why?" she asked amazed. She never thought Syaoran could read her so easily. They spent a lot of time together, but still, she never expected him to understand her, even more to read her expressions.

"You looked worried, or not worried just like you have something on your mind" He said casually, trying not to push things out of her, if she wanted to talk to him she would do it.

"No I'm ok, it's just that I have a weird feeling about this trip you know? Like something unexpected is going to happen… that bothers me" She said softly.

"It's gonna be alright!" He said trying to cheer her up "Anyway if something bad happens you know I'll be there for you… for anything you want" he looked a her with a wicked smile.

"You pig!" She said sucker punching him as they stepped out of her house and into Syaoran's car "I don't think you are going to get any of that from me!" She said trying to sound insulted, although she was not.

He looked at her with a sad puppy face

"It's going to be really lonely and cold up there, and I don't believe you want to be with Aki all day"

"Don't start that again!" She said sounding bored. She was didn't like to talk about Aki with him.

"Hey I'm just saying… but you know if you even want to make him jealous I'm here you know that right?"

"I'll keep hat in my mind, but I don't think I want to make him jealous" She said looking at the window. He was going to keep on talking about that but he figured she didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he dropped the subject.

They arrived at the school very early. There were only like ten persons besides them, but no one important. They placed their bags on the bus and took their seat on it.

Syaoran placed his sweater on the sit behind Sakura and sat down next to her, taking a deep breath. She looked at him confused but said nothing.

"Don't worry" he said with his eyes closed "When Aki or Tomoyo arrive I'll seat elsewhere, I just think it is a bit boring to sit alone" He turned around and smiled at her.

They arrived at the mountains at three o'clock in the afternoon. They were going to stay there for three days and two nights.Tomoyo sat next to Sakura on the bus, and they spent al the way talking about the things they would do in the mountain, they would go kayaking, take the trails to the caves, go to the sauna, and many other stuff.

Sakura noticed Tomoyo wanted to ask her about something but didn't do it, probably because it was regarding to Syaoran and he was sitting behind them.

They took their bags out of the bus and headed to the reception, where they were assigned their rooms. The hotel has made out of little bungalows, so in each bungalow there were three people.

Sakura had to share hers with, Tomoyo and Rika. Aki shared it with Kyou, and Hiei. Syaoran, Eriol, and Yamasaki where in the same room.

Everyone knew that was not how they would sleep, but still, they placed their bags in their respective rooms. Sakura heard that Eriol had prepared a separate cabin for him and Tomoyo, but that was for Saturday night. . So that left her with Rika, who disappeared as they arrived.

They all met in the lounge. Sakura walked in with Tomoyo and they saw everyone was already there. She took a seat next to Aki, and in front of Syaoran who couldn't help but grin at them.

The guys went over to get some drinks, Sakura and Tomoyo stayed there talking to the guys that were left behind. The rest of the afternoon went on pretty normal. They all had some drinks and then headed to the sauna.

Aki said he was a little tired so he was going to take a nap. He told Sakura to wake him up when they were finished, and he took off.

The rest of them went to the sauna, Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol, Syaoran and Yamasaki. They were the only ones in there so that was a bonus.

"So I guess Sakura is our date since Aki isn't here right Syaoran?" Yamasaki started. Sakura looked at him with a huge smile.

"I am ok with it!" She said to Yamasaki "You Syaoran?" He looked pale for a second and then she smiled at her.

"Sure! As long as you promise Aki won't find out, he might punch me you know" He said jokingly, making everyone laugh.

Sakura and Tomoyo headed to the girls locker room to change into their bathing suits. They placed their bags on their locker and then Tomoyo looked at Sakura with funny eyes.

"So what's up with you and mister hottie back there?" She said trying to act casual, but Sakura knew she was dying to ask her that since the bus

"Nothing!" Sakura said innocently "We are just friends I told you Tomoyo!" Her friend rolled her eyes and kept on talking.

"But the way you two look at each other! You could burn the room, he clearly wants you so bad!"

"I don't think so" She had to make Tomoyo believe that or she would never leave her alone. "Last time we were talking about this girl he likes, I mean it we are just friends"

Tomoyo said nothing else and they headed to the sauna where the guys were already waiting for them.

"Milady" Said Yamasaki giving Sakura his arm so she could walk next to him, he made a sign to Syaoran who did the same thing, so Sakura was escorted by the two of them to the Sauna.

She couldn't help but blush when she saw Syaoran shirtless. She had seen his amazing abs before, but he looked so hot! Syaoran noticed her stare and smiled at her naughtily.

She rolled her eyes trying to hide the fact that she was just delighting herself looking at him.

The rest of the night in the sauna was all fun. Yamasaki saying his stupid comments that only made them laugh, every now and then Sakura caught Syaoran staring at her, and every now and then she stared at him. She was sure those glaring contests didn't go unnoticed to her good friend Tomoyo, but she tried to ignore those thoughts and have fun.

Pretty soon they noticed it was getting late so they decided to go over to get dressed and go to the bar, have some drinks, and then go to bed.

They all met outside the sauna, all dressed up, and ready to go to the bar. When Sakura interrupted them, saying she was going to go over to look for Aki. No one stopped her, though no one really wanted him there.

She was almost on Aki's bungalow when she noticed there was a big party going on in there already. She smiled to herself, completely sure that Aki was just with his friends, having some drinks and having fun.

She was outside the door and then stopped, she thought she heard a girls voice in there, but that couldn't be true, unless Kyou or Hiei had found themselves a girl, which was pretty likely to happen.

She opened the door, not bothering to knock, only to see Aki on a couch, with one of the cheerleaders on top of him, wearing only her underwear. Only both of them in the room, and engaged in what looked like a cheap porn movie.

Aki looked over at her and widened his eyes, completely freezing. The girl who Sakura recognized immediately looked at her and had a guilty expression.

"Sakura wait!" Aki said before Sakura closed the door and took of running.
