RainForever Note: Sorry it took me a little while to update. I've been really busy.. And on a small writer's block. But it's alright! I'm BACK! Aren't you all excited? Yes, just say yes. ANYWAYS! Here's chapter 5! It's my longest chapter yet, so be happy :D Don't forget to R&R
Chapter Five
Sakura rushed to her window, but as soon as she got there, the feeling disappeared. Syaoran sighed, also noticing it was gone, then looked to Kero, "Is there anything else we should know?"
Kero thought for a moment, "Unlike the master of the star cards, the master of the shadow cards are able to block out their powers so people can't sense them. But only for a short amount of time. Although, it does allow them to get away from the people they don't want to know about them." he said, also noticing the presence was gone.
"Then how are they suppose to find them?" Tomoyo asked curiously, still sitting on the bed.
"All I can say is they need quick reflexes. Whenever they feel the presence, they need to act on it before it's gone. Or wait until the person cannot hide it anymore, or doesn't want to." Kero said.
Sakura sighed 'This is going to be harder then I'd hoped.. I'll be doing this most of the time.. At least me and Syaoran will be working together like old times. And it'll give me the chance to tell him, too.' she thought to herself, smiling at the last thought.
Syaoran looked at Sakura through the corner of his eye, 'She looks so beautiful...' he thought, quickly turning away when he realized he was beginning to blush.
Tomoyo stood up, putting her video camera into her backpack. "Well, it's getting close to dinner time. I should probably get going home." she said, smiling.
"Okay. Bye Tomoyo!" Sakura said, walking up to her and giving her a hug.
"Don't forget.. You're coming with me after school tomorrow so I can buy new film!" Tomoyo chirped excitedly.
Sakura nodded, waving as Tomoyo walked out her bedroom door. She turned around to face Kero and Syaoran, blushing lightly, "Uhm.. Syaoran?"
Syaoran's gaze moved slowly back to Sakura, the redness in his cheeks gone, "Yes?"
"Would you like to.. Stay for dinner?" Sakura asked, her cheeks turning a pale shade of pink.
Syaoran nodded, smiling, "Sure." he said, his blush returning.
Sakura smiled, "Be right back." she said, running out her bedroom and downstairs. She went into the kitchen to see Toya cooking. "Toya! Syaoran is staying for dinner. So make sure you make enough for three people." she told him, not even bothering to ask.
Toya cocked an eyebrow, "You mean the brat's staying?" he questioned in annoyance.
"He is NOT a brat!" she shouted at him, stomping her way back up the stairs while Toya simply shook his head.
Sakura walked back into her room, smiling. "He's making extra, so everything's good." she said happily to Syaoran.
"Thanks." Syaoran said simply.
"So where are you going to check while I'm at school tomorrow?" Sakura asked Syaoran, sitting on her bed.
"I was thinking around Penguin Park.. Just that area for now. I don't think I'll find anything, but it never hurts to check." he said with a smile.
"Well I'll meet you there after Tomoyo and I get her some film. But I might need to bring some people along. Our teacher told us today that tomorrow we're getting a couple new students.. So I'm sure they'll want to meet some new people." Sakura said.
"But what if we do find something? You can't use the star cards in front of them." Syaoran asked.
"Oh yeah." Sakura said, laughing nervously, "I sort of forgot. Well I guess I could just tell them I'm busy..."
Kero nodded, "But even with the new people, be on guard. Remember the last new person that came?" he said, referring to Eriol.
Sakura nodded, 'And tomorrow will be the perfect chance for me to tell Syaoran!' she thought excitedly.
"Monster! Food's ready!" Toya shouted up the stairs.
"Sakura, don't forget my dessert!" Kero said, licking his lips.
Sakura nodded, walking downstairs with Syaoran following her.
"What are we having?" Sakura asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"Spaghetti." Toya said simply, sitting down with his own plate and taking a bite.
After Dinner
Sakura walked with Syaoran to her front steps. "Thanks for staying for dinner."
Syaoran blushed, "Uh.. No problem."
"I'm so glad you're back. Even if it's only for a week." Sakura said, hiding how sad she was that he would be leaving again.
Syaoran nodded, "Well I better get back. Wei will be wondering where I am."
Sakura nodded, "Okay." she said, giving him a quick hug.
Syaoran's cheeks grew darker, "Uh.. Bye." he said, turning around abruptly when she released him, and walked away.
"Bye Syaoran!" Sakura shouted, cupping her hands around her mouth to emphasize the sound.
Sakura quietly walked back to her room, quickly stopping in the kitchen to grab a slice of cake for Kero, and sat down on her bed. She quickly changed into her pink pajamas and slipped under her covers. She drifted off to sleep, and began to dream about the next day when she would tell Syaoran she loved him.
Sakura approached Syaoran quietly, her cheeks a deep scarlet color. Tomoyo was seen behind a tree, the small red light of her video camera on, and she was trying to suppress a giggle. Syaoran turned to face Sakura, smiling, "Hey, sakura." he said calmly.
"Syaoran.. I-I really need to tell you something." Sakura said softly.
"Yes?" he asked.
"I-I love you!" Sakura blurted, quickly shutting her eyes and tilting her head to the ground.
Sakura could feel a hand on her chin, tilting her head upwards, and as she opened her eyes, she saw Syaoran's staring back at her. "I love you too." he said softly, kissing her passionately.
"Sakura! Sakura!" Kero shouted over the alarm clock.
Sakura's eyes slowly opened, "Whaaat?" she asked tiredly.
"You're alarm's been going off for ten minutes!" Kero shouted.
Sakura's eyes widened, flinging the covers off of herself, accidentally hitting Kero. "HOEEE!!!" she shouted, quickly dressing into her uniform, "Sorry Kero!"
She ran downstairs, quickly grabbing a piece of toast and putting it into her mouth as she tied up her roller blades. She ran outside, finishing her piece of toast, and roller bladed as quickly as she could. She didn't know why Toya hadn't bothered to wake her up, but was too concentrated on not falling to think too much about it. She walked into class, panting lightly, just as the bell sounded. She slumped into her desk, and Tomoyo cam up to her.
"You okay Sakura?" she asked, concerned.
"Yeah. Just..Woke..Up..Late.." Sakura managed to say.
Tomoyo giggled, and went to sit in the desk next to Sakura, "I wonder what the new students will be like." she whispered to Sakura, who simply nodded.
The teacher walked into the class, "Good morning, class. Today we will be having two new students join us." he said, waving them in.
The first to enter was a boy. He was slightly taller then Syaoran was, and had black hair. He had blue eyes, and Sakura knew that all the girl would be going crazy for him. Sakura waited for the second student to come in, but they didn't.
The teacher peered outside the classroom, mumbled something, but continued. "It looks as though only one of the new students will be here today. His name is Kioshi Higara." he motioned to the boy, and the boy said nothing. "You can have the seat behind Ms. Daidouji."
The boy nodded, walking to his assigned seat behind Tomoyo.
"Hello." Tomoyo said kindly to the boy.
The boy did nothing but nod, and look back to the teacher.
"The other student that will be joining us, hopefully tomorrow, is a girl name Kohana Ikaru." the teacher said, turning to the board and beginning to write notes.
Sakura glanced at the new boy, noticing he was staring at her. She became slightly uneasy, and turned her attention back to the teacher.
With Syaoran
Syaoran sighed, sitting on one of the swings at Penguin Park.
"I've been here for over 2 hours.. and I've still found nothing." Syaoran whispered to himself with a sigh.
"HOEE!" came a girl's scream as she tumbled to the ground. "Perfect.. Just perfect. Now I'm lost and bleeding." she said in annoyance to herself, looking at her now scraped knee.
Syaoran turned around, getting off the swing, and approached the girl who appeared to be his own age. He bent down beside her, pulling out a bandage from his pocket, and gently placed it in the girl's hand.
"Thanks." the girl said with a meaningful smile, "My name's Kohana."
"No problem, I'm Syaoran." he said, standing up as she put the bandage on.
When Kohana was done, she stood up. She was about an inch shorter then Syaoran, around the same height as Sakura. She had hazel eyes, and pin straight blond hair that fell just passed her shoulder blades. She was very skinny, and very attractive.
Kohana walked over to the swings, and sat down, her hands behind her back. Syaoran could have sworn she had mumbled something, but soon felt a feeling that he had only ever felt around Sakura. His cheeks began a light shade of pink. He walked over and sat down on the swing next to hers.
"So what are you doing here?" Syaoran asked, startling the girl.
"Oh, I was trying to find a school. I'm new here.. And I sort of got lost." she said with a sigh, bringing her hands forward.
"You must be one of the new students Sakura was talking about.." Syaoran said, noticing he didn't feel flustered for the first time when saying her name.
"So, Syaoran, you must know where the school is, right? Since you probably live here?" Kohana asked in her sweet voice.
Syaoran blushed again, "Uhh.. yeah. Just down that way." he said, pointing in the correct direction. 'Why do I feel like this?' he thought to himself.
Kohana laughed softly, "That was the only place I hadn't checked yet."
Syaoran found himself laughing with her, and didn't know why. He could hear the bell sound in the distance, and he didn't realize he had been out there for so long. He sighed, shaking his head, knowing he hadn't found anything, and had wasted a whole day.
Kohana noticed he wasn't paying attention, and mumbled something else, her hands once again behind her back. She placed a hand on Syaoran's shoulder, "You okay?"
Syaoran's face turned a bright red, and he jumped out of the swing.
"Gomen! Gomen! I didn't mean to frighten you!" Kohana shouted apologetically, standing up from the swing as well.
"N-no, it's me. Really." Syaoran insisted, realizing what the feeling was.
Kohana smiled, and Syaoran couldn't help but thinking that it was a twisted form of a smirk.
"K-Kohana.." Syaoran stuttered.
"Yeah?"
"I know this is kind of sudden.. But I think... I think I'm in love with you." he blurted, his face still red.
Kohana looked behind Syaoran, seeing Sakura approaching, and smiled. 'Perfect..' she thought, stepping towards Syaoran.
"No.. It's not sudden at all." she said, pulling him towards herself and kissing him passionately.
Hehe. I know it's obvious.. Right now. But never fear! I do have some more interesting ideas up my sleeves. Don't forget to make a review! Thankies!
