ON WITH THE OL' STORY!

Sakura

Sakura walked slowly.

She was tired yet she still had so many things to do and think about. Her face didn't seem to be her smiling face anymore. She kept walking. She sighed and put her hand into her pocket for her keys.

Just at this lamppost and I'll have to start acting normal for dad and Touya, she thought bitterly.

She looked up and halted. She blinked. A well-built man, black shirted figure stood underneath the lamppost, waiting.

Shingo

He played the violin, remembering. His thoughts and actions flowed with the music. A dream, a wish………..

Eriol

He clutched a take away bag and coke, hungry, having just had his broken down car fixed. He opened his BMW's door and climbed in………

Hiro

Being who he is, he was working out in the middle of the night at the gym. His muscles bulging as worked out with one weight using one arm, going with the beat of the fast music.

2………

3………

Shingo

BEEP BEEP

Eriol

BEEP BEEP

Hiro

BEEP BEEP

Clow 3

They all picked up their phones. Opened the message……….

Syaoran's gone back from New York to Tokyo straight away.

- Gin

Shingo

He closed the message, smiling broadly. He picked up his bow again and played happily to his favourite soft tune. A dream? A wish? Come true?……….

Hiro

He closed the message and immediately dialled Eriol's number a smile on his face.

Eriol

Just as he closed the message to ring Hiro, his phone rang. He smiled and presses answer guessing who it was.

"Got the message?" said Hiro.

"Betcha," said Eriol happily.

"Let's hit Xiao Lang's place?"

"Meet you there."

Eriol hanged up and put on his sit belt, pressing the accelerator.

Sakura and Syaoran

"Why are you here? Aren't you suppose to be New York?" asked Sakura, a rather small smile creeping up on her face.

"Um, I love Japan!" said Syaoran.

"Nani! So you're going to go out with Japan now?" laughed Sakura.

The two looked at each other and laughed, even though the joke was dull.

"What are you doing at my house anyway?" Sakura asked.

Syaoran suddenly, squatted down, rubbing his temples. Sakura walked up to him.

"What's the matter?" she asked worriedly.

"I don't feel very well. Over 20 hours of flying, to New York then back to Japan. I have bad jet lag," murmured Syaoran.

Oh my goodness…He did that! Thought Sakura.

"Oh you're such a weakling! It's just a plane trip," snorted Sakura.

"JUST A PLANE TRIP! I'll like to see you try!"

"You've got a problem you know!"

"ME? You're the one with the problem!"

"Are you two going to fight in the cold? Come inside and fight for goodness's sake!" said Touya who came out of the house.

"NO NO NO TOUYA!" said Sakura.

But Touya ignored her and pulled the two by the arms into the house.

"Otou-san! Syaoran Li is here!" said Touya and to make things worse, pulled them both into Sakura's room.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TOUYA!" shouted Sakura but Touya was already out the door, closing it.

Sakura gave a sigh and turned her attention back to Syaoran who was in her room, blinking at the pinkness.

"Are you staying for the night or what?" asked Sakura.

Syaoran gave a shrug. Sakura gave another long sigh and went to her top cupboard. She took out sheets and blankets, spreading them out carefully on the floor.

"It's your choice. You know where the door is or you can sleep on the floor," said Sakura.

The one she really loves is you……… came the voice of Shingo into Syaoran's head.

Syaoran went to the sheets and wrapped himself in them. Sakura looked at him and then shook her head. She threw herself onto her own bed not bothering to change and closed the light. She was so glad this was her own room as she drift off to sleep………

Eriol moved his white, well-carved queen piece up. Hiro moved his black demon bishop up. Shingo leaned on the back of one of the white sofas in the room. He hugged a cushion, looking out the large glass window into the night.

"Where is that Xiao Lang?" said Eriol taking one of Hiro's pieces.

"Dunno," said Hiro as he took Eriol's queen.

"Sometimes, he is just so irresponsible," continued Eriol as he got away from checkmate.

"Where do you think he is Shingo?" said Hiro, trying again.

Shingo turned to face his friends.

"It doesn't matter where he is. But I know his gone to find the thing most important to him," said Shingo and looked out again.

"The most important thing?" said Hiro, raising his eyebrows.

"You know?" said Eriol with a sly grin.

"Your brother's clothes are so irregular for me," said Syaoran, looking at what he was wearing.

"Then don't wear them then! Give them back!" scolded Sakura.

"Hey! It's just that I'm a sized—"

"SENSED," they both corrected together at once. (Remember when Syaoran kidnapped her? Hehe)

"Person and I can't walk out like this," continued Syaoran.

After a lot of hustle and bustle, Syaoran just wore his own clothes from last night. They had a quick breakfast and hurried out the door.

"Hurry up! I can't be late for school!" complained Sakura.

"What's the wrong with being late? I'm always late," said Syaoran.

"Well of course it doesn't matter to you Master Li! You OWN the school along with your Clow 4 friends!" exclaimed Sakura.

But it turned out Sakura had to be late after all. Syaoran had decided he needed clean clothes and the fastest way was to buy some new ones. He dragged Sakura into one of the famous designer clothing shops and asked her to wait for him as politely as he could. Sakura had kept muttering and scolding all the way and hasn't stopped. As Syaoran went to the changing rooms to get changed, Sakura looked around. She looked at a simple t-shirt and glanced at the price tag. She gasped.

"5000 yen for this t-shirt!" she whispered to herself. "Rip off!"

Syaoran came out of the changing room just then and stood there with a simple white t-shirt.

"This t-shirt is 2000 yen Master Li," said the shop assistant.

"What do you think?" said Syaoran turning to Sakura.

"Weird," muttered Sakura.

"Really?" said Syaoran and shrugged going back into the changing room.

After another few minutes, Syaoran came out wearing a pink blouse.

"This one is 6000 yen Master Li," said the shop assistant.

Syaoran once again turned to Sakura.

"It really suits you," began Sakura. "Like the usual idiotic self."

Syaoran walked back inside the changing rooms and changed again, nearly wanting to curse. He came out next with dark green collared shirt.

"This one is quite alright I think," he said.

"This one is 4000 yen Master Li," said the shop assistant.

"Ugly," said Sakura.

Syaoran bit his lip and went back into the changing rooms, wondering if anything would ever please her.

Why is he even ASKING for my opinion! Thought Sakura.

Syaoran came out again and time he wore an innocent short sleeved blouse. (Something that Shingo would usually wear………mmmm……….)

"This one is 5000 yen," said the shop assistant.

Syaoran turned to Sakura.

"Still looks weird, I like the one before better," said Sakura, a small smile tugging at her lips.

"Hey! Are you toying with me!" exclaimed Syaoran fuming.

123123123123123123123121231231231231231231231231231231

Sakura and Syaoran finally made it to school at break. In the end, he had ignored Sakura's bad comments about shirts and chose the dark green collared shirt. Sakura walked in cursing about how many lessons she's lost because of his silly clothes but Syaoran just whistled and ignored her comments. They walked into the building.

"Syaoran and Sakura," came the drawling voice of Hiro.

The rest of Clow 4 stood there, facing them.

"Back so soon?" continued Hiro.

"Yeah, where have you been all night?" said Eriol slyly.

"I rather like Japan," said Syaoran innocently.

"Come back before you even got chance to learn some English. Tsk tsk," said Eriol shaking his head.

They all laughed and walked up to Syaoran and Sakura.

"HEY! WHAT IS GOING ON! WHY IS SAKURA WITH YOU GUYS!"

Richie raced into the building glaring at Clow 4.

"Listen up suddenly rich kid. Last night I slept at SAKURA's house!" said Syaoran.

"Sakura's house!" exclaimed Hiro, pretending to be surprised.

Richie's eyes widened in shock. His mind was breaking to bits of his princess Sakura.

Sakura gave Syaoran a push.

"Leave him alone! Richie don't get sad! I—"

Syaoran immediately covered up Sakura's mouth with his hand.

"Her face when she was sleeping was sooo ugly!" he said as Clow 4 laughed.

Richie ran up to Sakura.

"IS IT TRUE? Tell me isn't!" said Richie.

"He did………" muttered Sakura.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" yelled Richie.

"Calm down Richie! It was only because he had jet lag! SHUT UP Richie!" Sakura yelled at the crying Richie.

Clow 4 laughed at the sight. Syaoran walked up to Shingo with Hiro and Eriol behind him. Syaoran stopped right in front of Shingo, a smile on his face.

"About the expelling thing. Sorry," he said looking at his best friend's amber eyes like a mirror.

Shingo put a hand on his best friend's shoulder.

"It's alright," Shingo replied, then added a smirk. "But perhaps I will have my revenge one day."

"OK," said Syaoran giving a laugh, punching him a few times gently on the chest in a friendly way.

Shingo gave a laugh.

"Just joking Xiao Lang. I haven't got anything to avenge for," said Shingo shaking his head.

All of Clow 4 laughed. (Friends 4 ever! I believe in that!)

"Clow 4's back," said Hiro a cool grin on his face.

Clow 4 nodded and smiled.

"Sakura! I'm going to class!" said Syaoran and was in lead of the filing out.

Hiro who was last in the line yelled at Richie,

"Suddenly rich kid, I advise you not to bother Sakura anymore!"

Richie gave an even louder cry. Sakura covered her ears in disbelief.

"SHUT UP RICHIE! Calm down and get to class NOW!" she yelled and gave Richie a nudge.

Richie walked off after Clow 4, still wailing. Sakura watched Clow 4 walk away talking like happy friends, which they are.

Clow 4 is Clow 4. You can never separate them for too long. They are friends forever I know. I guess I broke the record for separating them the longest, she thought giving a grin laughing to herself.

Sakura gave one of her rare sighs. Gave a beautiful smile she hasn't given in ages. Her emerald eyes glittering as she walked to class also………
