Sorry I haven't been updating, I've had a serious block, and I still do actually.
Winging is the best thing to do right now :D

Sakura was sitting in her room, staring into space, wondering what to do about the situation.
Sakura (thinking): Why do I feel this way? I get so mad, and depressed when I think about...what...just...happened. Get a grip of yourself Sakura! Why are you making yourself feel bad over...nothing? I don't know anymore. Maybe I'll talk to Fai-san. Oh right, he left with Moko-chan a little while back. (sighs) Now what?
(Kurogane passes by, time for Daddy to come...lol )
Kurogane: Oi.
Sakura: Kurogane-san, good to see you. How was the fishing trip? I forgot to ask Fai-san.
Kurogane: Lousy. That mage got everything.
Sakura: Oh, well, at least you three had fun.
Kurogane: Hell no. Nothing is worse.
Sakura: Kurogane-san? Could I ask you something? It's about Syaoran-kun.
Kurogane: Fire away.
Sakura: It's just that, well, I should start at the beginning. We're all traveling together at the moment and most of the group are men. The thing is that, (blush) I was just wondering...(blushes more)
Kurogane: This isn't the question for me. You should ask that magician.
Sakura: He's not here at the moment, and I was just wondering...maybe your advice would help me...
Kurogane: Get to the point already.
Sakura: (sighs) The way I feel about Syaoran-kun...it's different. Very different from how I feel about you and Fai-san. Moko-chan too.
Kurogane: Because he's about your age.
Sakura: I understand, but even when I see other boys his age, I don't feel anything. I get so...I don't know if this is the right word. Overprotected? I don't know. I just constantly think of him...and when he's around other girls...I just...(sighs)
Kurogane: I was right. This is not for me. You should talk to the magician. When he gets back from candy-shopping.
Mokona (pops in): PUU!! Kuro-rin, did you miss us while we were gone?
Kurogane: Oi! Get OFF!
Mokona: Tee hee. Sakura, guess what? We bought five bags of chocolate!! Fai's treat. x3
Fai (entering): Hai! Now, what is it that I hear about asking me?
Kurogane: The princess has boy troubles. This is your departmnet. I'm outta here.
Mokona (leaping up and down): Really? Sakura? Boy troubles? NO...
Fai: Mokona, maybe you should show Kuro-rin his share of the treats.
Mokona: Mokona can't.
Fai: Why not? I bought one bag for him.
Mokona: Because, Mokona ate it all on the way back. Tee hee!
Kurogane: Normally, you'd be toast. But I could care less. (leaves)
Mokona: Kuro-rin! Mokona wants something...(leaves also)
Fai: Now, Sakura-chan. What is this problem you're having?
Sakura: Ano...it's Syaoran-kun...
Fai: Ah, I knew this would come up sooner or later. What happened?
Sakura: That's just the thing, nothing did.
Fai: Then why are you so...?
Sakura: I don't know. I don't know what I want anymore. I just know that I'm uneasy inside and it has to do with Syaoran-kun.
Fai: Are you uneasy about his plans later tonight?
Sakura: Hai, I just want to make sure, that nothing happens to him. I get so...worried...and...
Fai: You don't have to fill in the other word. You know what? You should go with him!
Sakura: What? No, I already told him that I wasn't going.
Fai: Ah, but not with with. Just go check up on him. You'll be fine. I'll ask Kuro-rin to come along.
Sakura: Fai-san? Maybe I should go, but I'd like to do it alone if you don't mind.
Fai: You sure Sakura-chan?
Sakura: I'm sure. I'll be fine...

Later that night
Syaoran: Princess, I'm going out for a little while. Please try to sleep early.
Sakura: Sure thing, Syaoran-kun. Have a nice time.
Syaoran: Thank you (leaves)
Sakura (thinking): Maybe I shouldn't do this, but I really have to...(sneaks out)
--
At the club
Syaoran: I never even asked her name. How will I find her?
Girl: Hey there! (he turns) Thanks for coming. What will you have? (sitting down next to him)
Syaoran: I'm fine, I have to go soon. If you could just--
Girl: Nonsense, the night's still young.
Syaoran: But I--
Girl: Tell you what, if you dance with me. I'll tell you what you want. 'kay? (winks)
Syaoran: Fine, I guess.
Girl: (takes his hand) Come on then!
(Dance music played)
Syaoran: I have to tell you, I'm not good at this...(barely moving)
Girl: Nonsense. Just move with the beat.
(Music changes to slow)
Girl: Oh, you're in luck. It's slow now..
Syaoran: I don't know this either...(backing away)
Girl: Again with that! Here (she snatches his hand and places it on her hip)
Syaoran: ...I...(uncomfortably)
Girl: Hey, now I just put my hands by your neck. And you just move around a bit.
Syaoran: I have to get back soon.
Girl: No way, you just got here (she leans on him)
Syaoran: This is really awkward...I don't even know you.
Girl: I don't know you either. But maybe I do.
Syaoran: Eh?
Girl: You're really something.
Syaoran: Huh? (totally clueless)
Girl: I like your hair.
Syaoran: Thanks, I guess. I didn't do anything to it.
Girl: That's why I like it. Tell you what, you don't have to dance anymore cuz you're so horrible at it. Just sit down and have a drink with me.
Syaoran: Sure (gladly leaves)
Girl: I already ordered the drinks. Here's yours. (hands him a glass)
Syaoran: What is it? (eyeing is suspiciously)
Girl: Nothing you can't handle.
Syaoran: No thanks. I don't drink at all.
Girl: Is that what you tell Sakura-chan?
Syaoran: How do you--
Girl: Oh please, I have my sources.
Syaoran: What was it that you needed to tell me?
Girl: Something important. Your princess is watching you.
Syaoran: What? (looks around) She wouldn't be here. I saw her just a while ago at the cafe...
Girl: You're sure?
Syaoran: (still looking) Positive. It's not safe for her here.
Girl: Then in that case (she leans in, grabbing his shirt), it would be alright to do this (draws him into a passionate kiss which Syaoran didn't return)
(glass breaks) Sakura: (speechless, hurt, and surprised) Syao-syaoran-kun...(tears filling her eyes)
Syaoran (breaking free): P-princess? What, what are you doing here? (getting up)
Sakura (tearful): I'm sorry if I interrupted anything. (turns to leaves) Please. Do carry on (runs off)
Syaoran (turns to the girl): Normally, stuff like this doesn't happen. Why did you do that? (angered)
Girl: You did agree to come.
Syaoran: You made me hurt Sakura-chan.
Girl: So? What does she mean to you? You're totally free...I know that. She doesn't consider anything of you. I asked.
Syaoran: I don't care what she thinks of me. I'm just worried for her sake. Please, I don't want to see you again. (turns to leave and runs off)
Girl: Huh, guess he won't find out what I had to say afterall...
--
Sakura was still running, tears streaming down...
Sakura: Why do I get this way? Why should I care what he does and who he does certain things with? Stupid Syaoran-kun, leave me alone! (turns into an alley and stops)
Man: Hey...a lonely, defenseless little girl. In our alley.
Man 2: Where's your escort child?
Sakura: I-I don't have one...
Man: In that case, why don't you let one of us be your escort?
Sakura: I (looks around). No thanks (frightened, she tries to back out)
Man 2 (grabbing her arm): You're pretty. We like you, why don't you spend the night with one of us.
Man (pins her to the wall): And please, remove that dreadful shirt. We prefer ours fresh...
Sakura (struggling): No, let me go! Get off me!
(The Man starts for her shirt...)
Sakura: NO! (trembling) Syaoran-kun...where are you...please...help...me...Syaoran...
(A rock comes flying out of nowhere hitting one Man)
(A kick follows, and hits the other)
Syaoran: What the HELL do you think you two are doing?
Man: Get lost kid. Or you'll wish you were never born.
Man 2: Leave if you know what's good for you.
Syaoran: (blood rushing to his face) (he takes out Hien and attacks them, standing in front of Sakura)
Man: Why you? (takes out a knife and aims at Sakura, Man 2 was down)
Syaoran: Get away from the princess! (continues shielding her)
(The Man tries to stab Syaoran instead, but misses and just cuts Syaoran's shoulder)
(Syaoran kicks him and Man backs down)
Syaoran (threateningly: You get lost, don't let me catch you again or you will be sorry. (he leads Sakura out)
Sakura (doesn't know what to say): Thank you Syaoran-kun. You came just in time...
Syaoran: I'm sorry I couldn't get there sooner.

Back in the cafe
Fai: Welcome back you two? How was the club?
Sakura: Terrific. (leaves for her room, she doesn't know about his cut)
Fai: Kuro-sama and Mokona are sleeping in his room. Syaoran-kun, (notices his cut) you're bleeding, really badly too.
Syaoran: I don't think Sakura-chan knows about it. Please, just let me handle it. (leaves for his room)
Fai: Kids these days...
--
In front of Sakura's room
Syaoran: Princess? Sorry about earlier, please just get some rest.
Sakura (locked inside): ...
Syaoran: Could I come in to check on you?
Sakura: Syaoran-kun, I appreciate you being there for me, but I don't want to see you right now. Please, just leave (it pained her to say this)
Syaoran: I...just...
Sakura: You could stand outside the cafe for all I care. Good night Syaoran-kun (tears still streaming down)
(And that's exactly what he did, right outside the cafe, it started to rain, he didn't properly cover his wound...)
