Cry: For the First Time

Chapter3: Memorable Music Room II

Sorry coz I changed a lot of things. Hope you'll understand and please review…

Summary: A four year-old boy named Syaoran looks like he is emotionless but he really is not. He always hides whenever he feels like crying because he doesn't want others to see his softer side. One afternoon at Tomoeda, a girl saw him crying. For the first time, he let someone see him crying. For the first time, he felt so comfortable. For the first time, she sympathize someone she didn't know. And for the first time, the girl revealed the softer side of him. She is none other than Sakura Kinomoto.

"Sakura, I swear it came off my mouth without my consent." he explained. 'Oh great! Baka Li! Baka mouth!' he thought. She smiled at him and headed to the door. He is sure that her cheerfulness now is fake.

They then heard someone singing. However, they did not pay any attention; Sakura is hopping to the door and Syaoran feeling like banging his head. When Sakura is about to open the doorknob, they heard a click. They looked at each other, one thought screaming in their heads. 'Oh no. Please don't tell me that sound is what I think is.'

"You're my only hope." Saionji-sensei sang while getting something in her pocket. "I really have to thank Tomoyo-san for giving me this player but where would she be right now?" she said while inserting the key that she got from her pocket and locked the door. she did not heard S+S inside because she's listening to the player

Meanwhile in the music room, Sakura had tried to turn the doorknob but she can't. "Hehe… I think I'm just weak because of all the activities. Syaoran, can you please open the door." she said hopefully, forgetting about their argument. Syaoran tried to open the door but failed. He tried and tried but the result is the same.

"We're stuck! Let us get out of here! Someone please open the door!" they shouted, not realizing they said the same. Unfortunately or should we say fortunately , the students and staffs are already on their way home and far from the music room. Saionji-sensei who is the second nearest to the room is innocently singing another song of Mandy Moore. A girl with braided raven hair is smirking and taping the scene from a hole. she is the nearest… I guess it's easy to know who she is

"I think all of the staffs and mostly all of the students are out now. I never did imagine that I would like Meiling to look for me." he sighed while sitting again on his spot.

"I guess so. It's also impossible to use the window because the music room is on the 5th floor and there is no nearby tree." she sighed. She also sat and took her letters and flowers.

she whispered softly but it's loud enough for Syaoran's ear to hear.

"Do you believe in that? I mean he's someone you don't know. You'll never know maybe he'll hurt you or something. Don't get too mushy and expect too much from that gay." he said, clearly because of jealousy. "Anyway, you asked me before what I'm doing here right? Well, my father used to play a piano piece. I always watch him do that and it seems that he plays it with his whole heart. I asked my mother to teach me that not too long after he died. It's entitled "Aisumasen But This is For You" I'm sorry if there is a song with the same title as this but I really can't think of another song. Yah… I made it… Sorry I cannot find any appropriate song for this.". Would you be kind to sing it while I play it?" he asked, his eyes as soft as the clouds.

"Sure" she nodded.

I vowed that I would not shatter your heart

I vowed I would not throw a dart

I made you happy at first

But now I can't nourish your thirst

I'm afraid it is a steppingstone

For you to reach the highest zone

I know the time is near

For the thing I fear

My goal is to make sure

That your happiness would be pure

On that time that would come

I would be satisfied on what you become…

"Hmm… Aisumasen but this is for you" she softly finished the song. She opened her eyes and commented "I guess you and your father are alike huh? You, too, seem to have played the piano a while ago with your whole heart. Your eyes seem so distant yet your physically right here with me, almost like a bird trapped in its cage, longing to be with its family again." and then softly and sadly laughed. She is quite scared being stuck in the room. The lights are now off, the only light is the moon. And worse, she is near to crying.

"It's not like you didn't." he flashed his irresistible smile and looked at her. But the smile immediately turned into a frown for she is now silently crying. "Shh Sakura, did you know that time would seem like its running when your happy and sleeping when your sad or crying? Don't you think its better to smile and soon you'll get through your problem than frown or shed a single tear and watch the clock tick for once in an hour?" he comforted.

She smiled and wiped away the tears covering her splendid emerald eyes. 'It's a good thing otou-san had an opportunity to prove his intelligence in Tokyo this week and onii-chan is on a camp. But since I'm in Tomoyo's house, Sonomi-san and Tomoyo-chan might get worried' she sighed in her mind for she knows that if she sighed aloud, he would comfort her, a thing that she know he's worst.

"You know, you can sigh or express what you really feel. I could see it in your eyes that you're still sad of something. And they said keeping ones emotion results to stress that activates the cancer cells." he said. I only hear it so I'm not sure if it really is please tell me if it isn't

It shocked and amazed her for a while but then she did what she was told, she let out her emotion but did not cry. She was amazed for no one except her brother had really tried to observe her eyes and see right through her soul. And for that even though she is still scared of the dark, it was lessened by his presence. 'Now the only problem is what if others would worry of my disappearance.' she sadly thought.

Outside the room, Tomoyo is enjoying the scene, she fully know that it would lead to her goal. Fortunately, her practicing to control her gladness over something had been successful and she hadn't shouted since the whole scene. 'hohohoho! Canceling my appointment to the doctor is really worth it more than I though it would be. Maybe I would entitle this scene as 'Not a Solitary Room'' she thought, her eyes began to sparkle.

Back to Sakura and Syaoran, Syaoran thought of a subject that would at least make Sakura forget that they are trapped. "Don't you think that my father knew that he would die soon?" he asked.

"Maybe… Maybe he knew that he would leave his love ones alone that's why he was hard on you, your mother and your sisters. If not, it's a great coincidence. I mean the song seems to say what he feels. That's what I think because you said that he seemed to play it softly." she said, glancing and inspecting any sign of depression.

"Yah…" he sighed and then glanced at the rounded clock that says 9:45. "Anyway, I think you should sleep now. It's already late. Don't worry I'll watch over you and I'll make sure that the first person that will arrive here would know that we're here to get us out." he assured.

"But you should get some sleep, too." she said. He gave her a firm look that says he'll be fine. Sakura sighed and snuggled to sleep. She must admit she was now really sleepy.

The night passed, Sakura and Tomoyo were contentedly sleeping and dreaming while Syaoran almost placed two sticks to stop his eyelids from falling. Now, you can practically see the color red surrounding his not-so-intense-anymore amber orbs. He always do what he says and he would not fail this time. He had been waiting for someone all night to come and open the door so that Sakura would have a better place to sleep.

Sakura stirred as she heard the birds chirping. She forced her eyelids to open and the first thing she saw was Syaoran patting something near the window. She knew by his appearance that he's really tired but he still held a small gentle smile. She cleared her vision and realized that the thing he is smiling at is an innocent bird. So that's what woke me up she thought with a smile.

Syaoran noticed Sakura sitting up from her position. "Oh so you're awake, sleepy head" he smirked. She shot him a glare but he did not stop. "Why did you scared the bird away!" he pretended to groan.

Sakura, in return, smacked his head really hard. "Are you saying that I'm a kaijuu!" she said, slightly angered. He nodded while faking that he's afraid of her. However he failed his plan of pissing her off first thing in the morning. She has something else important thing to think about. "Anyway, did anyone arrive already?" she seriously asked.

Unfortunately for her, he still did not stop. "Do you think that we would still be here if there's anyone who arrived? Are you using your microchip on your head?" he said while pointing his index finger to her head.

Her head thermometer then appeared beside her auburn head, reached the highest point of it and broke. "MISTER SYAORAN LI!" she exclaimed. Luckily for him, a knock was then heard from the left side of the room. Her head thermometer decreased and his facial expression looked like he has just been saved from a very dangerous situation.

"Is someone there?" a teenaged girl's voice was heard near the room. Immediately, Sakura and Syaoran ran like in a marathon to the door.

"Yes! We have been locked here since yesterday. Could you please tell any teacher or staff that we were in here so they can open this door and we can prepare ourselves for our first class." he said loudly and clearly. A full silence was then experienced for about a couple of minutes that caused Sakura and Syaoran to go wild.

"Okay." the teenager finally and hesitantly said.

Sakura and Syaoran waited for about more than 15 minutes before the teenager came back with Saionji-sensei following behind her. Saionji-sensei did not waste any time and immediately opened the door. "Sakura-san, I thought you are a good model of this school. Why did you let yourself be left behind and locked just like that. I thought you already know that there is a rule in our school that says nobody shall be still at school after 2 hours of dismissal?" she said after she knew that one of the student locked in the room was Sakura.

"Demo-" she was interrupted. Honestly, it is not her fault nor Syaoran's. Saionji-sensei just locked the music room ahead of time. She was sure that there was still half an hour left before that time.

"I did not ask any of your alibis. I would not tell this to the principal but you must learn your lesson now. If not it shall be dealt with the consequences." Saionji-sensei strictly said. Wah! She's over reacting! "And you" she pointed her index finger to Syaoran accusingly. "I believe you are a transferee. I hope I would not see you in any kind of mess such as this." she said and walked out saying "Kids these days!".

"Please don't mind her. She's really just like that. Anyway, my name is Yanagi Sakamoto. You can call me Yanagi-sempai as others call me. Hajimemashite!" she said, referring to Syaoran. Yanagi Sakamoto was a year higher than Sakura and Syaoran and she was really famous all over the campus. She has ruby orbs, cherry dark lips and ebony, shiny long hair. Unlike others, her make-up is light and almost unseen. Also, others would not define her has a slut like the other cheerleaders. In fact, she is one of Sakura's friends.

I'm really, really, really sorry. I know I'm only a beginner in this so I don't have the right to update late but I have lots of things to do. Today, we had 4 consecutive tests. I also had some things to accomplish. So again I'm really, really, really sorry!

TeDDieZ- yah… I agree… I'm sorry if you guyz think that it's a little too fast but please just imagine that Syaoran is not the cold one… And he just treats Sakura properly… like Eriol does in the anime series… Hope you'll understand…
