Chapter 4: Forgot Something?

Classes have just ended. Tomoyo was now walking alone back to home. "Why do I feel like I left something important at school?" she questioned herself. "Nah, I can't have!" Tomoyo continued walking happily while humming to herself not realizing that she didn't leave something, but someone.

"Shoot! Where the hell is Tomoyo?!" an annoyed Sakura said. She was waiting for almost an hour now at their school's gate for Tomoyo. "She can't have gone home without me!" But as we all know, Tomoyo can, she just did.

Sakura started to walk around, letting her feet drag her anywhere in the school. Then, she stopped. She heard far away footsteps of someone and the sound of a ball being played. The sunset was nearing, and for someone to be still practicing…She felt very curious and before she could stop herself, she was already at their school's soccer field.

She sat down on the grass near a very thick bush. She savored the cool breeze and the scent of fresh air. The footsteps of whoever was playing started to sound music in her ears. She felt very comfortable sitting there, forgetting that she was still at their school.

Then it stopped and she suddenly had the feeling that a person was going to her direction.

She looked up to find a pair of piercing amber eyes looking at her.

"Uh…Uhmmm…." the person with amber eyes started to talk.

"I…I'm sorry if I bothered you in your practice or something, I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you at all. I…" Sakura started to explain.

"Uhm…I was just wondering if you could please hand me my water jug," the guy exclaimed pointing to his jug.

Sakura turned her head and noticed that she was actually sitting very near to the guy's belongings. She was surprised she hadn't noticed at all. "Sure…of course," Sakura blushed madly; she didn't know why she tried to explain herself awhile ago.

"Thanks." Sakura watched as he gulped down his water quite fast.

"Ah, I know it's none of my business but it is already dark, aren't you supposed to be on the way to your home right now?" the guy asked.

"I'm waiting for someone, my friend," Sakura answered.

"Um…" the guy looked around making Sakura do the exact same thing. "I'm sorry, but I do believe we're the only students left in here. I think your friend left already."

"Look, I'm sorry if I disturbed your practice and all, but you have no right to accuse my friend of such things!" Sakura snapped suddenly not knowing herself why she did.

Seeing that the girl in front of him clearly got the wrong idea, he started to explain, "NO, that's not what I mean! What I mean is your friend must have been in a hurry or something and forgot that you were waiting."

"That's impossible!"

"Ah, but you see, people aren't perfect."

Sakura didn't want to hear any of what he was saying anymore. She knew it herself, the odds that Tomoyo had forgotten about her were quite high yet she didn't want to admit. Why would she want to, when it would mean walking home alone feeling disappointed in and afraid in the dark where a famous group of robbers was recently reported to have been spotted? But this guy is right, it's already dark, and will be much darker if she waited any longer. So she stood up suddenly, surprising the guy, and started to walk away very fast.

"Hey, where are you going?" the guy jogged to reach her.

"Home," Sakura plainly answered, with only one thing on her mind, her safety. The guy could see she was somewhat bothered or rather scared, "Would it be fine with you if I walk with you to your house?"

"Hoe…?" Sakura stopped, she didn't expect the guy would suggest that at all. Finally recovering, she continued walking. "No."

The guy grinned ever so slightly, it was the first time he heard that type of reaction, and he found it very amusing. "Then, how about to the corner of your street?" he persisted. He knew she was being stubborn.

"I – okay," Sakura answered reluctantly.

The two started their walk and within minutes, they reached the corner to Sakura's house. Sakura stopped walking, hinting that they were there already. She waited for a few a seconds before turning around, thinking of thanking the guy, only to find that the guy left already. Perhaps he too was in a hurry? Sakura smiled inwardly to herself, she had to admit, she felt very safe with him, whoever he was.

Sakura logged in the net as soon as she arrived at their home and finished eating.

Lil'BlosSom:TOMOYO! MOYO! TOMOYO!

FaShionPasSion: Hi Sakura! What's the matter…?

Lil'BlosSom: Why did you leave me at school?! Waiting for you?!

FaShionPasSion: I…

FaShionPasSion: NO! I didn't….! You did say you were gonna go ahead right..?

Lil'BlosSom: WHAT?! I told you I'll wait for you! You even answered…telling me to wait for you by the gate…!

FaShionPasSion:I---well….

FaShionPasSion: I'm so sorry!!!!! (sends a crying emoticon)

FaShionPasSion: Let me make it up to you…! How about a dress…? Did something bad happen to you..? I'll never forgive myself…!

Lil'BlosSom: A dress would be great… well, actually nothing bad happened at all… I…met someone…

Sakura began to narrate the events regarding the guy she met that evening.

Lil'BlosSom: He had such piercing amber eyes…!

Lil'BlosSom:and….BROWN hair..!

FaShionPasSion: Li Syaoran…!

Lil'BlosSom: I dunno..maybe there's some other brown haired guy in school you don't know yet..

FaShionPasSion:Preposterous! Anyway, where did you say you met each other again?

Lil'BlosSom: the soccer field

FaShionPasSion: There's no more doubt! That was Li Syaoran…! I keep hearing rumors about him playing late and alone at the soccer field when he feels so..

FaShionPasSion: He's great! The team's ace player! I'm sure you know that already..

FaShionPasSion:Anyway, you ought to have thanked him for walking you home..!

FaShionPasSion: when you do so…bring me with you!

Lil'BlosSom: why? So that I'll be able to introduce you and you'll be able to enjoy a mutual friendship with him…? Newsflash…! We didn't introduce ourselves..!

FaShionPasSion: No, silly…I'll hide, you won't even know I'm there…I just want to tape it..!

Lil'BlosSom:urgh…! Who would want that…?!

FaShionPasSion:Awww…c'mon Sakura..!!!

FaShionPasSion:Please..! Imagine how many girls will get jealous..! wink wink

The two friends continue chatting away madly.

In the world of men…we arrive at Li's Residence…

"WHAT are YOU doing in MY room? Get out now!"

"No, why would I? Meiling invaded my room and unless you get her out of there, I'm not leaving," Eriol continued watching the television in Syaoran's room. "Why did you arrive home just now couz?"

"I was practicing," Syaoran answered, changing his shirt.

"And?" Eriol questioned, he knew there was more to this story.

"And what?"

"Oh, come on Syaoran! I know your practicing habits, maybe all of your habits; we're cousins living in the house studying on the same school. Now, what else happened?" Eriol persisted.

Syaoran sighed, he knew he can't avoid Eriol's question because one way or another, Eriol's still going to find a way to get an answer from him. "I walked some girl to her house." Eriol gave him a meaningful look. "She looked bothered and scared, it was already dark and a group of robbers have been spotted recently in the area," Syaoran added.

"Hmmm…that's the second lucky girl this week. Who is she..?"

"I didn't ask her name, but I think she's that Kinomoto Sakura, the one with emerald colored eyes," Syaoran said thoughtfully.

Eriol thought for a second, "Man, some luck with her or something."

"Yeah, well, whatever," Syaoran turned unpacking his school books. "Enough of this conversation, GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"

"When Meiling's out of mine," Eriol answered calmly.

So how was it…?

Please do review…it has some certain effect…XD

Although I admit…thanks very much for the alerts and favs…!

I'm so grateful..!
