Chapter 07: Soft and Warm

Recap:
Tomoyo went downstairs, taking long graceful strides, halting when she entered the living room. She cocked an eyebrow. "May I ask why you two are here?"

Eriol's heart leaped and he grinned charmingly at her. "Tomoyo, it's nice to see you again. How have you been?"

Tomoyo smiled weakly back at him. "I've been fine. Although, I am curious as to why you two are sitting in my living room without a warning of your arrival."

"Yeah, sorry about that. We just wanted to come and see if Sakura was, you know, alive."

Eriol smiled sheepishly at her and Tomoyo felt herself blush. She cleared her throat.

"Well, Sakura is…she is—" Tomoyo was cut off when Sakura entered the room.

"Totally fine, thank you very much." All three heads turned in Sakura's direction.

Eriol and Syaoran stared at Sakura in shock. They hadn't seen her in 3 days and she looked like crap.

Her hair stuck out in disorganized strands and her usual vibrant, emerald eyes were dull and had no spark. The heavy, purple bags under her eyes contrasted violently with her yellow, sick skin and her walk didn't have the usual spring to it.

Eriol walked up to Sakura and placed his hands on her shoulders. "I say this because I care. You look like shit." No matter how mean those words sounded, you couldn't deny the worry that etched Eriol's voice.

Sakura sighed and rolled her eyes. That's Eriol for you…

"I've just been stressed."

"Oh don't feel bad. You didn't make any of us worry, by not calling or showing up to work. Oh no, you shouldn't feel bad for being the most selfish girl anyone could ever be!"

"Syaoran!"

Tomoyo and Eriol looked at Syaoran in shock as he glared at Sakura and stormed out of the house, leaving Sakura to look ashamed of herself.

"The nerve of him! Who does he think he is?!" Tomoyo was about to go and yell at him when Sakura stopped her.

"He's right. I should've called to let you guys know what happened to me. I'm really sorry for making you guys worry. I'm going to go talk to him." She jogged up to the door and left before they could protest, leaving the two of them alone.

Eriol eyed her from the corner of his eyes. This is my chance to talk to her!

"So umm, beautiful weather we're having, right? I mean, it's such a warm day for it being winter."

Tomoyo laughed at the typical, awkward conversation starter and they both started talking.

Sakura leaned against her knees, panting after running in search of Syaoran for 10 minutes.

Man, he's fast! Where could he have gone? She began thinking of all the places that she hadn't been and was about to go look for him again, when she noticed a figure leaning against a cherry blossom tree in front of the lake.

Her footsteps grew heavier the closer she got to him, till she came to a full stop, staring at him.

His face was in peace, eyes closed as if in sleep and his hair lulling around his face, lazily.

She could help to stare at him. It was the most peaceful that she had ever seen him.

"Like what you see?"

Sakura almost jumped when she heard his voice. She looked at his face and saw that he still had his eyes closed, but now he had a lazy smirk on his face.

Sakura blushed heavily and glared at him. "How did you know I was here?"

Syaoran opened his eyes and looked through the side of them, smiling at her.

"I can feel your presence anytime."

Sakura's eyes widened and she felt her heart jump in her throat, preventing her from breathing.

Syaoran chose this time to go and walk up to her till he right in front of her face.

Sakura dared to look up at his face. She stared at his blazing, amber eyes, full of confusion and uncertainty.

"I'm sorry for making you guys worry. I didn't mean to do that. And so, I just want to say I'm sorry for leaving you hanging 3 days ago. It was a kinda harsh way to leave you."

Her voice had strangely gone down to a whisper. She didn't know why, but the way he was staring at her made it seem like something was going to happen, and that all silence was needed.

"True," he started, ", but that doesn't matter anymore. And I'm sorry about yelling at you before. I was hoping that you would tell me what's been going on with you. You're such a reserved person. I don't know how to make you open up to me."

Sakura cocked an eyebrow. "Why would I open up to you? Just because you're my boss doesn't mean—" Sakura stopped talking when she felt something soft and warm pressed against her cheek.

Syaoran had just kissed her cheek. And she liked it.

End of Chapter 07: Soft and Warm

Alright. Here's the deal on why I took so long to update.

We had moved and my Internet had gone off from my last update until last week.. I already had the chapter typed up by then, but my parents wouldn't let me on the computer since I had the flu. They said they didn't want me getting my "germs" on the computer that everyone uses. Lol

So, I would just like to apologize for the long wait. Longer chapters will be coming more frequently now that the Internet is back on.

If anyone is confused whatsoever, with this chapter, just let me know! This chapter was kind of rushed and a bit off in details cause it's like 2:30 AM right now and I'm POOPED! So, please excuse any mistakes that you see. and please do tell me if you see any.

To all my fans,

I LOVE YOU ALL AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS SHORT CHAPTER!

Hoping for reviews,

Sakura Incognito
