-Syaoran's POV-

The knife looks so sharp.

I can almost feel the pain of release as I press the metal close to the skin of my neck. It sends shivers down my spine. But when I acknowledge the fact that I'm trying to kill myself on a toilet, the angst drains away.

"Let her help you find a reason to live, Syaoran..."

Sakura's emerald eyes shone into my mind. I grunted in frustration as I peirced the swift edege into my skin.

But I just cannot seem to kill myself. The balcony is way easier than this.

Though Eriol Suicide-proofed it, meaning he had locked the sliding doors with a special key.

Suddenly, I hear Eriol pounding on the door, threatening to make me come out this instant. I let the stupid knife slide out of my hands and into the dark tile.

As I raise myself to my feet, I feel warm liquid come down my neck. I open the door and slide past a very irritated Eriol.

"Syaoran, what--" Eriol was interupted when his fingers touched my neck. At first his eyes were wide in shock, but then they shrinked, gaving me a cold, icy look. He looked around in the bathroom and found the knife I left on the floor.

"You leave me no choice, Syaoran," Eriol muttered, taking out his cell phone in a swift move and already dialing a number.

"What? Are you calling my mommy?" I cooed sarcastically, trying to find a band-aid around the counters in the kitchen.

"Not at all, just taking some measures for your safety. Remember, you bought it upon yourself," Eriol gave me an amused look, handed me a band-aid, and glided away from me, picking up the knife.

I really do wonder what he has in store for me...

-Sakura's POV-

I screamed in delight as Ichihara and I both entered the local Amusement Park.

Ichihara held onto my hand tightly, laughing at my expression, "I should take you here more often if it makes you that happy!"

I shook my head and held tightly around his arm, "Being here with you makes me happy."

Ichihara ruffled my auburn hair and smiled. I need to be as close to Sakura as I can possibly be, he thought, looking around, paranoid.

Though even with all the fun were both were having-- riding and screaming on rollar coasters, being mesmerized on a ride on the ferris wheel, and attacking each other with bumper cars--, I knew Ichihara was acting differently these past few days. It has seem as if he has been more guarded around me, looking around at his surroundings frequently, seeming to search for something or someone.

I knew if I asked again, he would try to lie to me, tell me everything was fine, then give me a full kiss on the lips. And this hurt.

He didn't want to talk about his problems with me.

I wouldn't ruin this day, but I would encounter him about it. One of these days.

Suddenly, Ichi jerked me the opposite way of which we were walking. I gave him a questioning look as he basically pleaded, "Hey, let's go search for rides over there, instead?"

He gave me a hopeful look as I scanned my envoinment. That's when I saw Syaoran and a woman.

"Okay!" I quickly agreed, and we both half ran to the other side. I didn't know why, but I thought as though I should avoid him.

Poor girl, I thought, she didn't look like she'd last more than two days.

-Syaoran's POV-

Reena leaned against me, begging me to invite her into my apartment.

I kept pushing her off-- getting impatient with her, as I tried to search for my keys.

Why did I lead her on!? I screamed at myself, regretting my decision of taking her out.

When I finally got the keys to open my door, I spun around and grabbed Reena roughly on her shoulders.

She gave me a startled look at first, but then her lips parted and puckered up, as if she expected me to give her a full makeout session.

"Go home and leave me alone," I spat, "I only took you out because I was bored out of my mind!"

That line would have usually worked. But not today, not on Reena.

Reena only shook her head, "You love me, Li-san! I know you do! I can see it in your eyes!" She giggled.

Oh dear, Kami! What a moron! Women are so blind when it comes to 'love'...

I chuckled without humor, "Why would I fall in love with a piece of trash like yourself?" And finally I managed to get inside my apartment and shut the door in her face.

Never take out another woman in your life again! I reminded myself.

But my horror didn't end there.

As I entered the house, I couldn't believe my eyes.

Eriol popped his head out from behind a wall and greeted me as if nothing was wrong, "Welcome back."

I couldn't answer him, for my eyes were darting everywhere!

"Eriol..." I said slowly.

"Hm?" He asked, looking concerned, "Is something the matter?"

"Yeeees... WHY IS THERE SOFT FOAM PADDING ON EVERY SHARP POINT IN THE FREAKIN' HOUSE!?" I exploded, fuming with anger.

Eriol just smiled. He SMILED!!

"For your safety, silly!" He teased, emphasising the last word.

My hand shot out to shoot Eriol a well-deserved punch, but as usual, he dodged it and suddenly I realized I was on the floor, with my face crushed against the carpet-- pinned down harshly.

"You should be happy I care," Eriol whispered icily.

"You're nof my mofer!" My words were unintelligent since my teeth were practically scrapping the carpet.

He snorted and then finally stood up.

"Damn you, Eriol!" I yelled, finding the strength to sit up.

"Don't say such words to mommy," He mocked, obviously enjoying my childish behavior and walked away.

-A Few Weeks Later...-

(Sakura's POV)

Syaoran suddenly threw a pillow at my direction, causing all the popcorn in my hands to explode all over the floor.

"Syaoran!" I screamed, but laughed.

He gave me a smirk, "You are truly one helluva peeper, Sakura."

"Well you're sitting right next to me and watching too!" I defended.

He rolled his eyes and went back to watching the making-out couple. Though I don't think we should still call them that...

Syaoran's hands shot out to cover my eyes, "This is TOO MUCH for your virgin eyes, Sakura!"

I laughed but I knew I shouldn't look.

I quickly turned around to avoid looking at the couple, "Y'know, we really should be doing your session," I plopped into my maroon sofa and Syaoran only stared at me, still sitting close to the windows.

"Nah," he said, blowing me off.

I sighed. How different a few weeks had made us become to each other...

(Syaoran's POV)

If only Sakura knew how content I've become just by sitting and talking to her.

If only she knew that whenever my sessions ended, I really couldn't bring myself to leave her office.

If only...

But damn was I scared.

My feelings... I didn't know anymore...

Sakura's cellphone suddenly started to sing out TABOO by Koda Kumi. Her lastest favorite.

"Hello?" She said, suddenly seeming out of breath.

I stared up at her again.

She giggled, "Hi, Ichi! What's up?"

I quickly looked away, trying to hide my angry jealously away from Sakura's eyes.

That guy.

Her boyfriend.

I tuned out her giggling, laughing, and soothing tone.

I helplessly looked towards the couple. But they weren't there anymore.
