RING!

Stupid Touya!

RING! RING!

No Sakura, don't you even dare to pick up the phone.

RING! RING! RING!

All hell will break loose if you answer that phone.

RING! RING! RING! RING!

"SAKURA PLEASE, THE PHONE!" Fujitaka shouted from his study.

NOOOOOOOOOO!

"Hai, Otou-san!" I replied in my ever deceiving sweet voice.

I slapped my palm unto my forehead before answering the voice.

"Ya know, this is what a kaiju gets when it laughs at somebody's work of art."

Dang! Touya!

"Already heard of that." I muttered stoically.

"Yeah?" he added the element of surprise in his voice. "Let's try another. I heard picking trash around the school campus is the new craze especially when your profession is a teacher who laughs at a student's work."

"You know Touya, that's very old school." Sakura said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Really?" Touya said playing along.

"Yeah, you wanna listen to mine?"

"Sure." The other person on the line said smugly.

"Do you know what people call black heads who are pretty smart." Sakura dared.

"No, what?" he isn't playing games now.

"Labrador Retrievers!" And Sakura slammed the phone.

Shoot! Now this is fun!

Sakura's mood was nowhere near optimism.

It was nine o'clock in the morning and the sun was no friend at all. Sweat was rolling down her head like rocks.

This is what a gym teacher gets for laughing at her niece's work. Miss. Akari was pretty harsh on her yesterday. Sakura could only wince at the memory. Well, at least the hat helps not in shielding the sun's heat but from shielding her face away from embarrassment.

Rumor's won't spread that fast in this community however it's pretty embarrassing seeing great Fujitaka Kinomoto's daughter picking plastic wrappers and old hag leaves.

Sakura wiped her face with her glove covered hands and gave a victorious sigh. "Gosh, I'm done!"

She was about to walk away when she saw a familiar figure sitting under the shade of a tree.

Wolf.

The boy looked pretty sad sitting there all alone and it moved Sakura's heart a bit.

There must be a problem.

Sakura moved under the trees shade and greeted, "Hey, there."

Wolf raised his head up but wasn't able to greet her in his own bratty way. "Yeah." He replied silently.

Sakura asked, "May I seat?"

The kid can only nod. Sakura took her place beside the boy however not too close. She was afraid he might know how bad she stinks.

"What the problem Wolf?" Sakura asked staring at the view.

"Nothing." He said his voice solemn.

"I've know you for days but I know when there's something wrong with a child."

Wolf folded his feet and hugged them close to his body. He sank his heat in them and started crying.

"You know. I'm just scared." He stopped but Sakura didn't interfere.

Then continued, "Miss Akari sca-scared me (sob)." He stopped and cried more.

Sakura placed her hand behind the kid's back and rubbed him lightly. "Why?"

"She wants to see my father. Da-dad (sob) never gets out from hi-his (hiccup) of-office." More restraint crying from Wolf.

"Really? Why so?" Sakura asked a bit shocked by this.

Syaoran? No way!

"All he cares i-is his wo-work. Whe-when you and Sei-(hiccup)shi left. She told m-me tha-that I co-couldn't stay in-in this scho-(hiccup)ol." And the boy crumbled to pieces. He can't stop himself from crying.

Sakura brought him into her arms and tries to soothe his feelings. "Shh. It's fine Wolf. Your father will come."

From two trees away a kid girl with the same face as Sakura was standing there and listening. Her name is Seishi.

It was time. Miss Akari had decided to have meeting with Wolf's parent after classes. It would be better not to raise any scandal, as she would say. I say, I've created this character wrongly, she's too melodramatic.

Sakura was there, so was Seishi. They need Seishi if there was any question from the parent and Sakura was there for moral support for Wolf.

Miss Akari gave another glance at her watch and asked, "Is your father really coming?"

Wolf was too scared to answer. I answered for him. "We'll just wait little bit long-"

"No need."

BADUP!

BADUP! BADUP!

Was that my heart beating? It's very fast!

"I'm here." A very masculine voice answered from the doorway.

They all turned their heads to meet the new arrival.

So . . . green meets brown.
