Chapter VI: Just a Little Moment
----OoO---
Never say I love you
If you really don't care
Never talk about feelings
If they really aren't there
Never hold my hand
If you're going to break my heart
Never say, "I'm going to…"
If you don't plan to start
Never look into my eyes
If all you say are lies
Never say hello
When you really mean goodbye
If you truly mean forever
Then promise me you'll try
Never say forever
In the end I'll only cry
The auburn-haired girl automatically closed her notepad upon hearing a dropped pen. She turned around and saw the guilty face of, "Syaoran!"
He put his hand at the back of his head to cover up for his embarrassment of getting caught in the act. "Sorry," he sheepishly apologized. "I couldn't help it. You were so drawn in what you were writing and---and, I thought that, uhm…"
Sakura sighed, then put on a smile. "It's okay. Making things like things like this has become my…err, hobby…"
Syaoran just stared at her. His amber eyes boring onto hers. Sakura knew that he's trying to read her and there's no use in hiding it.
With just a few days of knowing each other, her love life is an open book to him…
"…because…" Sakura just didn't let the sentence complete itself. She just bravely met his gaze and with a simple nod from him, she knew he understood.
'Because that's exactly what that asshole Xander does to you,' Syaoran added in his head, his hands clenched ready to mark the bastard's face. He knew that due to Xander's unfaithfulness Sakura has been writing or doing any stuff related to what she always experiences with her boyfriend.
And that's what making his blood boil.
"Hey, Li, Sakura!" came the cheery voice of Tomoyo…
--OoO—
"Man, why didn't the weatherman inform me of this rain attack?!"
Sakura just stared at Syaoran weirdly as she shook her head. "Syaoran, do you want me to answer that stupid question?"
He stopped complaining. He just realized his stupidity. Then he heard Sakura bursts into laughter.
"Is the weatherman your neighbor?"
"No, he's my uncle."
And as the rain pours, two teenagers shred a good laugh under the shed where Tomoyo and Eriol left them earlier.
"I wonder if those two are fine. They did say they would be back soon. But the weather's still like this and still no sign of them!"
"You know, there's a possible reason why they are still out in the rain," Syaoran stated. He looked outside and though that the rain is still tolerable. He smirked. "Want to try?"
"Mean---," before she could finish her statement Syaoran has already dragged her outside. Sakura's shriek was only drowned by the rain. "Syaoran!!"
He only laughed at her. So musical…
Sakura began laughing, too, and decided to chase him under the heaven's blessing.

Just as the sun is starting to set and the ground hardly dry, we can see a pair of teens sitting peacefully on a bench. It is visible that they hade fun. Tremendous fun.
"Let's do that again."
Syaoran snapped his gaze when he heard what Sakura said.
"What? I'm serious!" she pouted seeing his reaction. "I haven't had that much fun for a long time!"
Syaoran immediately knew it was because of Xander but he didn't dare voice it out. "You're such a kid," he commented, then chuckled. "Come on, get up. We should be going home now."
"You're no fun, Syao-kun."
"Today's been enough, missy. You might catch cold so be good girl and head home. I'll walk you there."
And off the two went, laughing at each other's stories, truly enjoying each other's company.
Once they reached Sakura's home she suddenly had this weird look on.
"What's the matter? Sakura?"
"I forgot Onii-chan's staying over his friend's and Dad's away on a trip."
"Basically, you don't have anyone here with you," he said worriedly. He doesn't want Sakura being here alone.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Onii-chan and Dad has been doing this a lot."
"Are you sure you're fine? I could…stay here if----," he was cut off when she suddenly screamed. A thunder just shook her clam state. "I'm staying."
Sakura didn't argue with his decision. Frankly, she's scared and he's the only one she could turn to now that her family's out and the rain started pouring again, this time much harder…
---OoO---
Syaoran washed his face with cold water. Things are starting weirding him out. Though he has regained his memories, some still confuse him. Like his relationship with Sakura…
---OoO---
It's already late night and in the Kinomoto household Syaoran is busy tucking Sakura to bed. He was right; she caught cold and she's starting to burn up.
"Syaoran, I'm alright. Don't blame yourself."
"But---."
"If you really want to make up, just bring me anything to eat," she said with a smile.
Syaoran sighed. "Alright." He proceeded downstairs and when he saw some oranges on the table he decided to bring them up. Just when he got his butt on the chair Sakura has gotten her hands on the fruits with a grin on her face.
"I like oranges."
He just shook his head, smiling at her childishness. He peeled the fruit and took one. He brought it near Sakura's mouth. "Say 'aahh'."
"I can feed myself," she complained.
"Just open your mouth."
"No."
"Sakura," he said sternly.
She pouted. She's not a kid! But complied. She opened her mouth for him to feed her.
Syaoran is about to say "good" when she bit him. "Aww! What was that for?"
Sakura just grinned. "Sorry. I just want you to know that I can feed myself." And to prove her point, she took one for herself and ate it while Syaoran just watched her. Sakura rolled her eyes then shoved to him the other one she took. "Eat it."
Syaoran just looked at her and the fruit.
"Eat it or I'll bite you again."
Faster than a speeding bullet Syaoran is already chewing the fruit she offered.
Despite being weak, she still managed to smile brightly.
And just by seeing her smile, Syaoran felt happiness swell in that organ inside his chest. He knew, he would treasure these little moments with his Cherry Blossom.
