Chapter 4: Questions
'What's really happening?'
Sakura's POV
I woke up in a state of confusion. I don't know were I am, and I didn't exactly have memory of what happened last night. But something does vaguely go in my mind. Its the prince...and it looked like someone was crying on him but he did not seem to mind. Whatever it is I know it had to do with me but sadly my memory is on lock down.
"W-Where am I?" I looked around the room was well...green. I heard someone groan beside me I jumped and looked down, I gasped. "P-p-p-prince L-Li." I whispered his name as if it was forbidden for me to say and in some ways...it was.
'But if he's here then...' I felt something squeeze my hand gently but still tight enough for it to seem it was protecting me. I took off the covers and saw that he was holding my hand.
'Has he been holding my hand all this time?' Unconsciously I squeezed his hand gently and in that moment in time we held each others hands protectively without moving an inch. But realizing what I was doing I tried to take my hand back but the prince only held on to it tighter.
"You sure are noisy when you wake up." The prince said waking up. He looked at me quizzically he probably saw my beat red face. "Are you alright? It seems that you have a fever." He touched my forehead and I felt my face heat up even more and I looked away.
"N-no...I'm...alright." I said in a whisper. He let my head go and made me look at him. "L-Li..san.." He closed his eyes and slightly slammed his hand on the soft bed. He neared his face towards mine. I could feel my heart speeding up. When he was close enough that he could kiss me he withdrew and opened his eyes again.
"No. You are fine." I let out a long and hot breath I didn't even know I was holding. That was a little to close...why would he do that just to see if I had a fever? He looked at me curiously. "But your still a little red. Maybe your still tired I don't know."
"S-still tired?" He nodded. "Li-Oji. What happened last night?"
"You don't remember do you?" I shook my head. He sighed.
"You cried on me last night and fell asleep while doing so. I took you to my room and fell asleep waiting for one of my damn maids to fix you a room." Then it hit me. I did cry on him!! Not only that but...he let me. I thought he was cold and heartless to everyone and only some pretty boy who manipulated women. But it didn't seem that way. Not at all.
"Thanks."
"You said that last night too." He threw me a sun dress. "Well here, one of the servants sent it in here a while ago. Considering the condition your in you might want to put it on."
"A-Alright." He stayed in the room. I blushed even more. "A-Ano...i-if you don't mind...I would like to dress alone."
"Oh sorry, most girls don't mind dressing in front of me." He said with a shrug.
'What a pig!' I thought in disgust. He went out. I slowly took off my party dress and put on the pink sun dress he gave me. It just so happens that pink is my favorite color. So that made me a little happy wearing my favorite color. I opened the door and saw Li waiting at the side impatiently.
"I'm-" I began starting to apologized, but he cut me off.
"You sure took a while.' He said with an irritated expression.
"I-I'm sorry..." He looked at me for a while and it seemed that he was studying me. It didn't feel like what my father was doing to Reu...it felt like, like he wanted to know more about me not..not like what my father wanted with Reu.
"Come on."
Syaoran's POV
"I-I'm sorry." She said looking the other way, well at least she's not saying sorry your majesty. That is so annoying! I studied her for a bit and my eyes froze and stared at her bandaged cheek. How could I have not noticed that last night?
'I wonder what happened.' I shrugged off the thought and turned around.
"Come on." I said firmly ready to go.
"Excuse me?" I turned my head and glared at her.
"I said, COME ON!!" I heard her squeal a little. I turned back to face her and saw she was covering her head and was shaking.
"H-Hey..." I stuttered. 'I never meant to scare her.' She looked up and I saw tears forming in her eyes. 'She's scared...really scared. But why.'
"Y-Your not going to..." She cut herself off. What did she think I was going to do? Why was she so scared? Then I remembered the night before.
Flashback
"Yukito came in and waited for me to give her to him. When I tried to make her let go of me she wouldn't, instead she held me tighter.
"Don't let me go back, please I'm scared of him...really scared." Then I suddenly felt something wet fall on my shirt. When I looked down I saw her crying in her sleep and her face transformed from calm to scared. I sighed.
End of flashback
'Who was she so scared of?' I came up to her and took her hand gently.
"Don't worry I won't hurt you." She looked at me her eyes wide in surprise.
"Oooooohhhhhh Li-kun!" I looked behind Kinomoto and saw Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Syaoran it seems you have taken a liking to her." Eriol said smirking at me.
"Why would you say that?" I asked puzzled.
"Because your holding Sakura-chan's hand!" Tomoyo squealed pointing at our hands. We quickly let go of each other.
"ITS NOTHING LIKE THAT!!" I screamed but failed to notice Kinomoto flinch.
"Tomo-chan?" Kinomoto asked quizzically
"The one and only." Tomoyo replied with a wide smile.
"TOMOYO-CHAN!!" She shouted hugging Tomoyo. It didn't seem like her own screams affected her. That's normal. I think. "I didn't know you were staying here!"
"Where else would I stay silly?" They laughed. "Well let me introduce everyone!" They looked at me and Eriol. "This is Prince Hiragizawa Eriol from the Hiragizawa kingdom, and well I don't think I need to introduce you and Li-kun." Kinomoto blushed scarlet and I snorted.
"Nice to meet you...Ummm.." Eriol began but was cut off on the fact that he did not know her name,
"Sakura, Kinomoto Sakura-desu."
"Nice to meet you Miss Kinomoto."
"Nice to meet you too Prince Eriol." That name sounded familiar. Kinomoto were have I heard it before other than last night.
"Kinomoto huh?" I said thinking out loud.
"Y-yes?"
"Nothing." Then all of a sudden the atmosphere of the corridor changed from cheery to drop dead serious. I thought I was the only serious person around here. Tomoyo felt Kinomoto's bandaged cheek. I was wondering how she even got the big of a bandaged. Was her wound really that server?
"What happened?" Tomoyo asked but Kinomoto looked away from her.
"Nothing, I-I just fell and..." I could see Tomoyo getting angry.
"Stop lying!!" She shouted at Kinomoto. I've never seen her shout before even Eriol was surprised. I was about to intervene when Eriol gave me a warning glance advising me to stay out of it. "He hurt you again didn't her? Why won't you tell anyone!! You know I won't if you don't agree to it!! So why suffer?!" Kinomoto gave no answer. I stared at her face. Her expression was a mixture of sadness, anger, and longing. Longing? But for what.
"I'll t-tell you when..." Kinomoto looked at me and Eriol again. "When were alone." Tomoyo sighed in frustration.
"Your so stubborn!" She said playfully
"Sorry to interrupt but I have to take Kinomoto back home." Kinomoto froze. Her eyes began to fill with fear and she just stared at me.
"Just a little longer, please, don't send me back yet." She pleaded. "Anything just not right now." I sighed.
"Before nightfall you twit." Her face light up with joy.
"THANK YOU!" She said hugging me tightly. I felt my face heat up and I faked a cough for her to take a hint and get off of me. Apparently she didn't.
"Get off of me will you!" I preyed her arms from around my neck.
"Sorry." She said innocently.
"Don't be! Just don't hug me next time!" She nodded.
"Well, what shall we be doing today?" Asked Eriol with a dramatic sigh. I almost rolled my eyes but controlled myself. Kinomoto and Tomoyo looked at each other and smiled.
"PICNIC!" They both shouted in unison.
"We have not had..." Tomoyo started.
"A picnic in a long time..." Ended Sakura. They looked like sisters in that moment and I have to admit. Kinomoto did look cute. Wait...CUTE?! What am I thinking?!
"That sounds like a wonderful idea but we-" Eriol said but Tomoyo quickly cut him off.
"Its already planned out." Tomoyo said. I raised a brow.
"Oh? And who is the person who owns this land and castle?" I said
"Oh. That's right..Prince Li has a point." Kinomoto said disappointed. It was so easy to corner her without any arguments from her side.
"Please Li, I hardly doubt you would be capable of stopping something already in motion." Tomoyo smiled evilly. NOT a good sign. "unless you want to hurt our feelings." SHE GOT ME!! Damn she knows me too damn well for my liking. "What's it gonna be Li?"
"You little bi-"
"Ah, Ah, Ah Li watch your language around me." I heard Eriol chuckle it was the end of the line for me, and we all knew it except of course Kinomoto. I growled.
"Fine." I grumbled under my breath. But Tomoyo just loves to torture me.
"Excuse me, I did not hear you quiet right, say it again."
"I said..FINE!!" I heard another frightened squeal and saw Kinomoto hiding behind Tomoyo.
"Its alright Sakura-chan he won't do anything to you...right Li?" She glared at me and I glared back.
"Yeah whatever."
"Tomoyo why don't you and Kinomoto-san go ahead of us." Eriol suggested steeping in.
"That's a great idea, come on Sakura-chan." She said helping Kinomoto balance herself. She glared once more at me and left.
"H-Hai." After the girls were so far we could not see them. Eriol began to talk.
"Li."
"What?!" I said a little irritated.
"You can not shout around Miss Kinomoto." I rolled my eyes.
"And why not? I'm the Prince of this kingdom and I can do whatever I please."
"That may be true but...your hurting her." Ok know I am confused.
"How exactly am I doing that?!"
"I don't exactly now why but when you shout she's afraid that you'll do something to her."
"What does she think I'll do? Abuse or mistreat her?" Eriol remained silent for a few agonizing seconds. Is that what she thought I'll do? "HIRAGIZAWA!!" The silence remained but about a minute later he replaid.
"If you question the past...the present will soon be revealed but if you question the present the future can be made clearer." With those words he went after the girls.
Chapter 4: Questions
'What was that suppose to mean?! If you question the...what?! Oh who cares!' That must have meant something...something important I missed! But I shrugged the thought away as I followed Eriol.

Chapter 5 Preview: Returns and Answers
"May I ask why you are laughing?" Asked Eriol sweetly. His voice still make me vomit when he talks. I made a small gagging sound and face. Tomoyo glared at me while Eriol just ignored me. But Kinomoto stared at me and giggled to herself and I did the strangest thing...I winked at her. When she began to blush and she looked away I smiled liking the effect I was having on her. 'What the hell am I doing?'
