Author's notes:

I'm taking longer to finish chapter 5 because I am currently sick. My brain is practically pretty much half dead right now, so please understand ;_; I have a cold and stomach cramps as well, and it's getting somewhat difficult to focus on anything right now. But because I really got nothing to do but laze at home, I thought that I might as well continue off the new chapter…

I have a couple more reviews coming up after I posted chapter 4, so I'm pretty happy (: Thanks a lot for the kind people who liked my story and subscribed, followed and reviewed! Appreciated it a lot (: Anyway, I shall get on with the story before I actually pass out. Heh.

ENJOY, DARLINGS!

Chapter 5:

*Previously*

Upon seeing them, Syaoran let go of Sakura and Tomoyo ran over to Sakura and hugged her. Tomoyo was so worried about Sakura that her hands were shivering, fearing that something bad might have happened to her best friend. She cried as she checked whether Sakura was unharmed, and realized that Sakura's wig was ripped off and her hair was disheveled. The others also found Sakura's specs and cell phone nearby too. Sakura's eyes were swollen from crying for so long and her voice was also coarse due to crying. When Tomoyo hugged Sakura close to her, she felt that Sakura was still trembling from fear. As Tomoyo and Naoko tried to hold Sakura to stand up, her legs buckled and she fainted, with Syaoran getting to her before she hit the floor.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When Sakura passed out, Syaoran immediately rushed to her caught her before he hits the floor, injuring herself. He carried her bridal style and called Tomoyo to tell him where the Kinomoto mansion is so he could send her home right away. He took Eriol's car, a BMW, instead of his Lamborghini because obviously it would be too uncomfortable for Sakura who had just fainted. Tomoyo and Eriol went with him as well, while Rika, Chiharu, Naoko and Takashi went to the school office to apply for early dismissal for themselves and the rest.

The maids of the Kinomoto mansion were absolutely taken aback when they saw their young miss carried into the house by a strange man, but the first thing they did was to lead Syaoran to Sakura's room so he could rest her in her own bed. When Syaoran tucked Sakura under her warm covers, he turned to Tomoyo and asked her to call for Sakura's family doctor to check up on her condition. When Tomoyo left with the butler of the house to call the doctor, Syaoran then asked Eriol to find someone to investigate on what happened to Sakura and whoever that did it. He was going to make sure that anyone that dares do such a thing to Sakura regrets whatever they did. Eriol, hearing that, took out his cell phone and dialed a number leading to his family's investigating team and told them to find out what happened with specific details. After he hung up, he looked at Syaoran, and saw something that Eriol would never expect from his cousin. Syaoran was currently sitting on a chair beside Sakura's bed, looking worriedly at Sakura's sleeping face. He smiled a little at Syaoran and thought to himself, "Well, look at what we have here. Looks like dear Syaoran here has a soft spot for the damsel in distress!"

A while later, Tomoyo pushed open Sakura's room door and came in with Dr. Yukito, the family doctor for the Kinomoto family and also Touya's childhood friend. When he entered the room and saw Sakura's pale face on the bed, he exclaimed, "Oh dear, what happened to Sakura chan? Let me have a thorough check up on her. Could all of you please leave the room? I'll get back at you once I'm done, so don't worry."

Tomoyo held a worried expression on her face, and thoughts like what if something bad happened to Sakura flashed through her mind. She paced around the hallway outside Sakura's room in circles, until Eriol decided to walk up to her and stop her. "It's going to be alright, Tomoyo chan. I'm sure Sakura's going to be fine. You've got to have faith in her! Now follow me and breathe properly. Everything's going to be fine." Eriol looked into Tomoyo's eyes and only then did she calm down a bit and stood still. Right when she calmed down, Rika and the rest came to check on how Sakura's doing. Tomoyo updated them that Yukito was currently giving Sakura a thorough body check up and assured them that Sakura will be alright, and all of them heaved a sigh of relief. However, Syaoran continued to stare intensely at Sakura's door, anxiously waiting for the young doctor to come through and tell him how Sakura is doing.

Just then, Yukito opened the doors and came through with a smile. He assured everyone that was there, "Sakura's fine. She just fainted from shock, that's all. There are no injuries on her, so that's good news. However, because she just fainted, she'll have to take lots of rest, so I think I will call the school tomorrow and also Touya and her dad to inform then that she'll be skipping school for a day. By the way, she has woken up already, so you all can go inside and see how she's doing. I'll give her some vitamins also, so I'll be leaving now to get them, bye Tomoyo." He smiled at Tomoyo one last time before leaving to get the prescribed vitamins for Sakura. Only after hearing what Yukito said, Syaoran finally sighed in relief and smiled. He was thankful that Sakura was ok.

Tomoyo was the first to rush beside Sakura's bed with the others following suit and gave her a big hug. She started tearing up while hugging Sakura and said softly, "Oh God Sakura, thank heavens that you're safe…!"

"Tomoyo…! Can't… Breathe…!" choked Sakura because Tomoyo was practically strangling her.

Tomoyo let out a gasp and let go of Sakura, giving her a sheepish smile, "Oops, sorry. Are you feeling alright now?"

Sakura just gave her a weak smile and nodded her head a couple of times to assure everyone that she really is alright. All the other people inside the room also gave Sakura a smile back, glad that their friend is safe. Sakura then thanked them, "Thanks a lot guys. I'm fine, really. Oh, and Syaoran… Thanks for back then." Sakura blushed a little when she said that but no one saw it except for Eriol because she looked down at her blankets.

Syaoran just gave her a smile and said, "Don't mention it. It was the least I could have done."

Then Eriol spoke up, "Alright guys, I think we should let Sakura have a good rest. She had a rough day after all."

Meiling then agreed, "Yeah we should leave already. Sakura, sleep well alright? We'll see you soon."

The others waved Sakura goodbye and left the Kinomoto mansion to let Sakura rest peacefully.

(The next day school)

"Eriol, have you found out anything about what happened yesterday?" Syaoran asked as he walked to class with Eriol.

"Yeah, I found out who did it. It appears that it was the girls from your fan club in school that did this to Sakura. I think they're jealous of how close you and Sakura seem to be. I even found out which class they're in and what their names are. What are you intending to do with them?" Eriol told Syaoran all the information he knew.

"Well, first, we'll have to tell Meiling and the rest first. They're Sakura's best friends, they'll know what to do with those ignorant bitches. Besides, they disclosed Sakura's secret to the whole world. Now, everyone knows that Sakura isn't some girl that's born in a poor family. Tomoyo and Sakura will deal with it themselves." Syaoran thought out.

"Then what about us? Don't you intend to do anything about it?" Eriol asked.

"We can't do anything with it. We're guys and we can't possibly hurt girls. Besides, I'm a Li. I can't do anything reckless or the company's going to be affected." Syaoran pointed out though he was frustrated because he could do nothing about this issue.

When they reached class, they saw that Tomoyo was absent as well. Naoko informed them that Tomoyo had also taken leave so she could take care of Sakura. Eriol then went on to tell Takashi and the others on the things he managed to find out about the people that kept Sakura in the lab, and why they did it. Chiharu was furious after hearing the ridiculous reason why those girls did such a thing to Sakura, and she wanted to go to the classes of those girls and give them a public beating. Luckily, Takashi managed to pull her back from doing such a senseless thing and calmed her down.

Naoko, being the sensible one, then reasoned out, "We'll just have to look them up after school and see what we can do about them. In the meantime, let's calm down and think about how we can get them to make it up to Sakura, shall we? They blew her cover, after all."

Rika and the rest understood what she said and even though the girls are practically fuming with anger, they decided to hold it in until school ended.

The group of girls consisted of 4 3rd year girls from class 3-D, and one of them is the chairperson for Syaoran's fan club in school. When they knocked out Sakura, they did not expect her to be a Kinomoto because she was wearing a wig and thick framed glasses, so they did not know not to mess with her. However, when they found out Sakura's real identity, they freaked out and fled the scene, leaving Sakura alone in the lab, and told everyone what they saw, emitting the part that they kept Sakura tied up inside the school lab. When the whole school heard of such news, there was a huge commotion in school, and people only realized then the similarities between fake Sakura and real Sakura. There was really no way Sakura could deny her identity anymore, thanks to those girls.

When the last bell of the day rang, signaling the end of school, Meiling, Rika, Naoko and Chiharu went to class 3-D and called out those 4 girls that tried to harm their Sakura. They called the girls out into a deserted corner of the school, and gave those girls a small lesson of their own.

Meiling said with fire in her eyes, "Worthless bitches, do you have any idea what you did? You caused Sakura to faint!" and she gave the chairperson of Syaoran's fan club a slap.

"We didn't mean for it to happen! We… We were just going to give her a warning and keep her away from Syaoran sama… Please, forgive us! We'll never do it again!" The girl begged.

Rika then walked up to them and said darkly, "Then why did you tell the whole world about Sakura's disguise? Don't you know how hard Sakura tried to keep her identity a secret?"

Naoko was the next to speak up, "What are you girls going to do about it, huh? You do know what happened to whoever that messed with Sakura chan in the past, right?" and she gave the few girls an eerie smile as she pushed up her glasses with her finger.

Hearing that, he girls got even more frightened than before, and one of them knelt in front of Chiharu. "Oh Lord, please, don't expel us from the school! I swear it was just a slip of the tongue. We didn't mean to say her secret out! We'll do whatever you want us to do! Just don't make us leave school!"

Chiharu then squat down beside that girl and pulled at her hair, "Anything, you say? What about we drag you to Sakura's house and make you kneel in front of her? Is that ok with you?"

"Anything is fine, we'll do whatever you want us to do!" all the girls said in unison.

Meiling was satisfied and dragged one of the girls by her collar and pulled her to Sakura's house to apologize. Rika and the rest then pulled the girls on their feet and pushed them to follow Meiling to Sakura's house as well.

When they finally reached Sakura's house, Meiling made those girls go up to Sakura's room and kneel in front of the door to beg for Sakura's forgiveness. A moment later, Sakura opened her door and came out looking a little better from yesterday, but still weak. She looked at the girls coldly and asked why they were visiting her. The girls looked up to her and begged eagerly for Sakura to forgive them. Sakura fell silent for a while, and she decided to ask Tomoyo what she should do in a whisper.

"Well, do whatever you wanna do with them. They're the ones that did this to you anyway." Tomoyo shrugged at Sakura and gave the girls on the floor a cold stare. If glares could kill, the girls would have died on the spot already. They did not expect the kind and serene Tomoyo to be this scary at times like this.

Sakura finally made up her mind and said, "Tell the school I want them suspended from school for 2 weeks. I don't want to see them in front of me again. Make sure you don't appear around me again, got that?" and she shot those girls one of her trademark cold glares.

Chiharu and the rest were shocked at what Sakura said. Meiling burst out, "You're letting them off so easily? Sakura! They kept you in a cold lab during a storm!"

"Meiling, I'm tired, I don't want to do anything with this issue anymore. Besides, the whole school knows of my status now. I don't want people thinking that I used my power to force these whores out of school. That will affect our company's reputation if this spreads out. Just be glad I'm having it easy on you, sluts." Sakura growled at the girls that tried to harm her one last time before she went back to bed.

Meiling, even though frustrated, decided to respect Sakura's decision. She said to the girls in a low voice, "You're so lucky we're letting you off so easily this time. Now scram! Don't let us see your worthless faces again or we'll make sure you won't live to see the next sunrise!"

With that, the girls scrambled to their feet, thanked Sakura and the rest for their mercy and fled out of the Kinomoto mansion. After that, Sakura decided to stay at home for another day before she was healthy enough to go back to school for lessons. She also dropped her disguise, because she knew from what Tomoyo found out from Eriol, (they had been calling each other almost every night) that those few girls exposed her identity and now everyone knows who is really is. She figured that it would be useless to disguise anymore, so she just went to school with her waist length hair tied up into a high ponytail. She also decided to wear her uniform properly from now on because well, she has to carry the image of being a Kinomoto. She also told Tomoyo not to come fetch her anymore and she'll drive to school using one of the cars that her family has. She randomly picked a blue Porche Boxter S and drove to school.

The moment she entered the school compound with her car, she attracted a lot of attention, because it was rare to see another fabulous car except for the ones that belonged to Tomoyo, Eriol, Syaoran and the rest. More importantly, that car belonged to the Kinomoto Sakura, previously a girl they had neglected because they thought she was poor and that she was a geek in thick glasses. But since her real identity has been exposed, people naturally would flock to her side and try to suck up to her, hoping that the rich Sakura Kinomoto would befriend them and get some benefits off of her. Sakura, being the straight forward type of person, saw through their act immediately and knew what they wanted from her at first glance. However since people already knows about her status now, she could not afford to give them cold stares anymore and ignore the people who came to her. Instead, she has to give them a smile, regardless whether if it was a fake smile used during business occasions or a genuine smile, because only then would people speak about how sophisticated the Kinomoto family are. Even though Sakura found it a pain in the ass to have to entertain such people that may not give her any merits or benefits, she still did it anyway for the sake of raising the reputation of the Kinomoto Group.

Before Sakura stepped out of her Porche, she took a deep breath and let out a grunt of frustration. When she decided it was time for her to enter living hell, she raised her head and put on a small fake smile. She stepped out of the car gracefully like how a rich lady would do gave everyone around her a small grin. Although it was not some warm smile that was what people imagined a Kinomoto would show, they still went along with it since such a small smile was already a rare sight coming from Sakura. People were bedazzled by her charm, and some people could not even believe that they were seeing The Sakura Kinomoto alive in front of them. Sakura heard some praises coming from the crowd, with the girls saying how pretty she is and the guys saying how gorgeous she looks in the school uniform as if it was designed especially for her. When she caught one of the students saying that, she scoffed secretly and thought, "Hmph, how come none of these came from any of you a few days ago?"

Sakura flashed the crowd one last smile before she excused herself from being surrounded and walked towards Tomoyo and her friends who were waiting for her at the entrance of the classroom building. Tomoyo welcomed her by giving Sakura a warm smile and greeting her, "Good morning Sakura chan! How was your morning coming along?"

Sakura groaned under her breath even though she continued to smile as people were still looking, "Couldn't get any better than this, ne?"

Meiling snickered after catching the sarcasm in Sakura's sentence, "Heh, nice to have so many people love you all of a sudden, eh, Sakura channnnnnnn?"

Sakura rolled her eyes at Meiling and said, "Ha ha, very funny, Meiling. Why don't you try it someday?"

"Oh no, how can I? I wouldn't dare snatch the spotlight from the great Sakura chan, ne?" teased Meiling.

Sakura didn't say anything back, but showed Meiling a sarcastic smile instead. Tomoyo and the rest just giggled at how Meiling teased their dear Sakura chan. Sakura slumped down on her seat when they finally reached the classroom, and even then, there were a lot of people outside the classroom peeking at Sakura from the windows in the school corridors. Sakura could not take it anymore and finally let out a grunt, "Darn, I have not done it for so many years. Can't believe it's so tiring!" She dropped her head as she tried to drive away her headache due to the sudden increase in noise level around her by massaging her temples using her thumbs.

Tomoyo giggled when she saw how distressed Sakura looked and went behind her to massage her shoulders for her. "Sakura, you should have gotten used to it already, no? It was like this in the past too, isn't it? Doesn't it bring back memories?"

"Horrible memories, you mean?" Sakura groaned when she thought back how she was betrayed by some girls that approached her just because of her wealth.

"Oops, sorry…" Tomoyo felt bad for reminding Sakura of the bad memories, so she decided to drop the topic and talk about something else instead. "Hey Sakura, want to have a sleepover at my house next week? It's been ages since we've slept together, all of us! I kinda miss those days where all of us cuddle together on my bed and have girl talk all night!" Tomoyo continued to talk about how fun their old days are excitedly.

Seeing how Tomoyo is so riled up for the sleepover, Sakura could only agree. "Sure, why not? I mean, Touya and dad are always not at home anyway. I'm sure they'll agree."

"Then why not call along Eriol, Syaoran and Takashi as well! I mean, I'm sure Takashi feels left out every time only the girls hang out without him. Ne, Takashi-kun?" Tomoyo smiled at Takashi. "The guys can have their own guest rooms if you want."

"Are you sure you're not suggesting this because you want to spend a night with Eriol-kun, Tomoyo chan?" Rika looked at Tomoyo suspiciously.

"I- I don't know what you're talking about! I just want to have fun with our new friends, that's all…" and Tomoyo's face turned as red as a tomato.

"We'll just pretend that that that's your real intention, ne? Tomoyo chan!" Naoko flashed Tomoyo a sweet mocking smile.

"H-hey!" Tomoyo exclaimed shyly with her face in her palms.

"Just give it up, Tomoyo. We all know what you're thinking. It's ok, we approve of it. Eriol's a nice guy." Sakura gave Tomoyo a pat on the shoulder and nodded in approval.

"Hey Sakura chan, not you too!" Tomoyo cried in a pleading voice.

Just then, the reason for Tomoyo's excessive blushing walked through the door with Syaoran following closely behind. Eriol greeted everyone warmly, "Good morning everyone!" and he turned to Tomoyo and gave smiled to her, "Good morning, Tomoyo."

Tomoyo heard him, but in return, she only replied softly, "G-good morning, Eriol kun…" She said it softly because she still felt embarrassed by Sakura and the gang.

Syaoran, though intelligent when it comes to business and school, is really blunt when it comes to his own feelings as well as other people's feelings. Being as oblivious as he is, he could not understand why Tomoyo was acting so weirdly towards Eriol and asked bluntly, "What's wrong with her?"

Sakura then butted in, "Such an idiot like you wouldn't be able to understand this in a million years, so I suggest you give up thinking about it."

Agitated, Syaoran stood up from his seat and tried to rebut Sakura, "Hey you-"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Eriol cut in, "So what are you girls talking about just now?" seeing as to how Syaoran could not talk back to her, Sakura smirked in success, only to make Syaoran even madder.

Meiling answered, "Oh, Tomoyo was just planning a sleepover next weekend, and she wants to invite the 3 of you, Syaoran and Takashi too. Can you make it?"

"I don't see why not. Both me and Syaoran have nothing over the weekend next week anyway, ne Syaoran?" Eriol looked over to Syaoran.

Syaoran just gave back a simple reply because he was still being mad with being interrupted by Sakura earlier, "Yeah, sure."

Chiharu held onto Takashi's arm excitedly and said, "Yay! Sleepover!"

Tomoyo then clasped her hands together and finalized everything, "So it's set on next Saturday? Come over to my house next weekend and we can have fun together, alright?" and everyone agreed.

The day pretty much went on as per normal, just that there were still crowds of people that were curious about Sakura and their lunch was not as peaceful as it was in the past, but the gang just ignored it. Being in rich families, they had more or less gotten used to such treatment since young, so they thought nothing of it. However, Sakura still found it very irritating to have people stalk her every move, and thought it was totally irrelevant when she found out that some students set up a fan club for her as well, just like Syaoran does, and the members were increasing each day as more people get to witness how graceful she does everything. The next few days went by almost the same, just that the crowd got smaller around Sakura gradually, because there was an aura around Sakura that told them that Sakura hates being followed around and stalked at. Although there were less people that stalked on Sakura's every move, they were still paying close attention to whatever she does though. Soon, one week past and it was already the day before Tomoyo's sleepover with the guys as well.

Sakura drove back to her mansion after school and wanted to pack some clothes to bring over to Tomoyo's during the weekend, but as she was packing, the butler of the Kinomoto mansion knocked on Sakura's door. He was holding a package in his hands as he came through the door.

"What's wrong, Gin?" Sakura asked without looking up.

"You have a package from an anonymous sender, miss." Gin replied politely.

"Leave it on the table, I'll look at it later."

"Yes, miss." Gin complied and left the room.

After Sakura finished packing the clothes for the weekend, she walked over to the table with the package on it. There were also a cup of tea on it and some snacks to go along with it. Sakura picked up the package and began unwrapping it from its paper wrapping, and on top of the box, it said, "To Sakura Kinomoto" in English. She opened the box and there was a card in it. Written in English, it read, "Dear Miss Sakura, treat this as a gift to you before we meet. I'm sure you'll like this gift." There was no name written on the box or on the card, but Sakura ignored it, because there were times that some rich kids from other families sent flowers and presents to her, hoping that she would go out with them. Underneath the card, there were a couple of pictures.

She picked them up and looked at it, and right after, her eyes widened in shock and she quickly dialed a familiar number of her speed dial, and said something hurriedly to her phone. After she hung up, she scribbled something on a piece of paper before she grabbed her luggage with her clothes in it and drove to the airport and called the butler to prepare the Kinomoto private jet immediately.

What she said on the phone was something that shocked even the listener himself.

"Touya, I'm going to Paris. Now."

Author's Note:

Hey guysssssss! Whassup! This pretty much sums up chapter 5, and left all of you a cliff! I'll leave you guys to guess why Sakura was so worked up, but I think it's a giveaway anyway, if you've read the few previous chapters… Heh heh! There's only one thing that could get Sakura so worked up anyway.

Oh, and I'm so sorry I took about more than 2 days to update this chapter. I was busy during the weekends. School's going to start soon! Oh no… *plays doomsday music* This means that I might not have time to update this fic as often anymore! To make up for that, I plan on well, updating a couple more chapters this week to keep you guys occupied while I start to suffer in school. So please give me more reviews to keep me going!

Anyway, happy guessing! Continue giving me reviews, dearest people~

Thanks for reading, so ciao~~~
