Chapter 3: Past
I sighed as I opened the door. It was nine o'clock. My mom was already home and Touya would be back in an hour. This meant he would be home with his girlfriend, Kaho. Out of all Touya's girlfriends, I like Kaho the best. She isn't whiny, snobby, or stuck up. Plus she is one tough chick who will stand up to and for Touya. Any one willing to stand up to my brother and for him is great to me.
" Sakura?" I heard my mom call. I walked over to the kitchen and poked my head in.
" Yeah mom, it's me," I said. She looked up at me and smiled slightly. I knew what was coming.
" How would you feel about going out to dinner with your father?" she asked. I thought about it for a minute.
" On one condition," I told her. She smiled and nodded.
" What is that sweet heart?" she asked.
" I'm allowed to take one of my friends with me," I told her. It would be fun having either Tomoyo or Meilin go. She thought about it for a moment.
" Honestly sweetie, I don't care. But you would have to ask your father," she told me. I smiled understanding what she meant.
" Alright. I'll ask him tomorrow and we can set up the date and time and place as well," I said. She smiled and nodded, agreeing with me.
" Well I'm going to bed, alright sweetie?" mom asked. I smiled at her and nodded.
" I'll wait up for Touya," I told her. She kissed my forehead and went up the stairs. I sighed and flopped down on the couch.
It would be weird going out to dinner with dad and his new wife. But I couldn't just tell him no. Plus I didn't have an excuse like Touya would. Sure I worked, but only during the afternoon. I was free during the evening unless it was really busy at the café. I just sat there thinking about a certain phone call I received today. I remembered the day I broke up with him clearly.

" Kura, Kura, did you hear?" my friend, Chiharu asked me. I raised an eyebrow.
" No what's up?" I asked. She took on a sad expression. I knew what was coming before she said it.
" Danny and Lisa were caught making out at the café we work at. Rika and Naoko saw them. I can't believe that jerk. The nerve of him. Cheating on you for that, that, ugh, I can't even think of a name to call her," Chiharu ranted. I looked at her. I smirked as an idea came to mind. She noticed it and backed away slightly.
" I know that look a little to well, what are you plotting in that evil mind of your's Sakura?" Chiharu asked. I shook my head and whispered to her.
" Why, Chiharu, you know that would take out all my fun." We laughed and made our way to the cafeteria. As we entered I scanned for the one person who would help me. My eyes landed on him and I smiled.
He was one of Danny's best friends. He also had a crush on Naoko. This made things easier for me. We were pretty good friends, so he would help me out. I sauntered up to him and plopped down on his lap. He raised an eyebrow at that. I leaned forward and whispered in his ear my little plan. He smiled and nodded slightly. I leaned forward again and kissed his cheek. To the whole school it looked like we were actually making out because my hair fell in my face. After a few minutes of that I pulled away.
I locked eyes with Danny and told him as clear as day the words he never wanted to hear from a girl.
" We are through." With that I got up and walked over to my friends. That day made history at Osaka High. No one has ever dumped Danny, he always dumped the girl. I guess, I just didn't take being cheated on as well as others.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the front door open. Touya walked in looking tired from a long day's work. I smiled at him.
" Hey Touya," I said gently. He looked up at me and smirked.
" Hey squirt. Mom called me and told me we were going out to dinner with dad. I didn't give an excuse for you, and you only," he told me. I smiled at him.
" Mom said I could take a friend. Tomorrow I'm going to ask dad if it was alright. You wouldn't mind would you?" I asked. He thought about it for a minute.
" No, as long as I was allowed to bring Yukito," he said. I laughed.
We went to bed after that. I woke up with a start thanks to a nightmare I had. I jumped out of bed and hopped into the shower. After an ice cold shower to calm me I changed into my uniform. I walked down stairs and grabbed an apple. I still had thirty minutes before I had school. I sighed and decided to go ahead and go anyway. This was going to be a long day if you asked me. I walked through Penguin park and saw all the trees in bloom. I wasn't paying attention when all of a sudden I felt a pair of strong arms around my waist. I tensed immediately.
This person didn't have the same smell as Syaoran, or the calming effect he had on me. Then that silky voice I hated so much spoke.
" Hello Sakura. It's good to see you again," he said. I smirked knowing he would hate what I was planning on saying.
" Really? Well I would of rather not seen you today. That just ruined my whole week," I spat out. He glared at me. I saw Syaoran and smiled even more.
" Now if you don't mind, I really need to catch up to my boyfriend," He was shocked at that. Before he could get a hold on me again I raced over to Syaoran.
"Hey, baby," I said. He raised an eyebrow at me and I winked. I mouthed the words 'play along' and he shrugged slightly. He wrapped his arm around my waist and leaned forward.
" What is going on?" I looked up at him, then behind me.
" My ex boyfriend is here. He won't leave me alone. Please help?" I informed him. He sighed but nodded anyway. I could feel Danny glaring holes in Syaoran's back. He seemed to ignore it though. I smiled up at him as we entered the school grounds.
" Hey do you think Tomoyo or Meilin would be able to go to dinner with me?" I asked. He raise an eyebrow.
" Why?" I sighed but decided to explain it to him.
" Well you see, my dad wanted to take Touya and I out to dinner and introduce us to his new wife. My dad and I don't really get along. And Touya won't go unless I do. I told my mom I would go if I could take a friend. She agreed but I still have to ask my dad. If he says yes I was going to take Tomoyo or Meilin," He nodded. I saw him take on a thoughtful look.
" Well you would have to catch one of them on a good day," he replied. I looked at the time and saw we still had a fifteen minutes before the bell rang.
I snapped open my phone and dialed my dad's number. On the third ring he picked up.
" Hello?" I took a deep breath.
" Hey dad, it's me, Sakura," I waited for a reply.
" Sakura, what's wrong?" he asked.
" Nothing. I was just calling to set up the dinner thing. Touya and I are off on the same days. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We're free on Sunday though," I informed him. He released a breath.
" Okay, how about six. We can meet at the Crimson Rose," I thought about it for a minute.
" Alright. Hey, would it be alright if we brought a friends?" I waited for him to say no.
" Of course. That would be fine, honey," he told me softly. I released a breath out of relief.
" Alright. See you Sunday, dad," I hung up after that. I looked at Syaoran.
" Sunday Tomoyo has family days with her mother. In the evening she is off with Eriol until nine. Meilin is busy Sunday as well. She works part time for her mother," Syaoran informed me.
" Great. Just great," I muttered. We walked to class and what I saw nearly gave me a heart attack. Danny was in my classroom. Talking to a teaching. In a seat in front of me. I nearly fainted on sight. ' No, Sakura, you can't show weakness. That is what he is looking for,' I thought to myself. The teacher and Danny looked up as we entered the room.
" Oh, Li, Kinomoto. This is Danny Hunter. He is new here as well. Hopefully you three become good friends," the teacher said. I smiled weakly and nodded. Syaoran kept a blank face.
At that moment Tomoyo, Meilin, and Eriol came in. I walked up to them. I decided to make sure they were busy before I went for plan b.
" Hey, Tomoyo, Meilin, are either of you free Sunday at six?" I just wanted to make sure he was right. And maybe stall so I didn't have to talk to Danny. Both of them took on a thoughtful look before replying.
" No, sorry Sakura," I sighed. I turned to face Syaoran. He raised an eyebrow.
" What about you?" I asked. He thought about it for a minute before replying as well.
" Yeah I'm free," I sighed.
" As long as you aren't afraid of over protective brothers and their best friends who see you as another little sister, you'll live," I informed him. He smirked at that.
" I'm not afraid of you big brother, Kura," he said. I smiled up at him, glad he kept up the charade in front of Danny. I heard an audible growl come from that direction. I saw Syaoran tense up and turned to face him. Before they could take a step towards each other I steeped in.
" Back of Danny. Or you'll be wearing my fist as a fashion trend for the rest of your life," I warned. He backed off slightly, a little shocked at how I acted.
" You never acted like this towards me. What happened Sakura?" he asked. He was trying to play it off as my fault.
" That's simple. My friends caught you making out with Lisa, not to mention my boss and my brother. You're lucky I wasn't and still not as mad as I should have been. Because if I was, Touya, Chiharu, Takeshi, Yukito, Rika, Naoko, Kaoru, and everyone else from our crew would of pounded your face in, took you to the middle of nowhere and buried you alive. Be happy I'm not like most girl," I spat at him. With that said I took my seat and got ready for class to begin.
A/N: Thanks to those of you who read and reviewed. Hope you enjoyed and feel free to let me know what you think.
Chapter 4: Kyle
I tried my hardest to keep Yukito and Touya from killing Syaoran. Let me tell you it wasn't easy. When boys want to fight, they want to fight. Lucky for me dad stepped in. He and Syaoran seemed to be getting along quite well. That saved him. But what was worse was I had a baby brother who was seven years old, who wouldn't stop glaring at Syaoran. Well at least he knew I was protected.
