Le Biker

Chapter 2

Reality

---

Sakura ran up to her room, keeping the bags of wet groceries with her. Her room had a small kitchen, equipped with a small stove, microwave, fridge, ect. When Touya moved out she got a job to pay for the renovations to her room and everything she could possibly need to put up into her overly large room. Her parents were constantly arguing downstairs, and she rarely went down there, keeping her few trips short.

She locked her door and turned on her stereo. The loud music drowned out any noise from below her and left her to her thoughts, which kept wandering back to Syaoran Li.

She had a million questions about him, and only one solid fact- his name. His name fit him, she thought to herself, like the mane on a lion.

Dragging her thoughts away from the subject, she put the groceries away and fell into the soft feather bed.

"Go to hell Fujitaka!" Nadeshiko's voice screamed over her daughter's music, cutting Sakura's nap short.

"This is hell!" he shouted back.

'Great, now they're fighting in the hallway. How much longer before it comes in here, I wonder?' Sakura opened her eyes and rubbed the sleep out of them. She glanced at the clock on her nightstand and decided it wasn't too late to call Tomoyo. She dialed her best friend's number and held the phone to her ear.

It rang 3 times and then the answering machine picked up. "This is Daidouji Sonomi and Tomoyo's house. We're sorry, but neither of us is available at the moment. Please leave a message, your name and a contact number so we can reach you. Thank you."

"Hey Tomoyo-chan! It's Sakura. Um… call me when you get this, but use my cell number, k? I'm gonna go for a walk tonight, my parents are at it again. Um... I'll talk to you later, k? Oh, tell your mom hi from me!!" Sakura hung up and sighed. She looked outside and noticed it hadn't stopped raining. 'Just my luck too.'

She picked up her jacket and opened her window. There was a tree next to it, one that she used often to climb out of the house without anyone noticing. The rain made the tree and her windowpane slippery, so she used more caution than normal. It paid off when she slipped and almost fell out of the tree.

Once she was on the muddy ground safely her walk began. It took her up to the park where she and Tomoyo had hung out as kids all the time. She sat on the wet swing and remembered the days before high school, when her parents had gotten along.

Begin Flashback

"Ne, Tomoyo-chan, what do you want to do today?" a 12-year-old Sakura asked, her emerald eyes gleaming with happiness.

"I dunno. Hey, do you want to have a picnic at the park?" Tomoyo, a girl with porcelain skin, dark grey hair and purple eyes asked her friend.

"And invite Eriol-kun?" Sakura raised her eyebrows suggestively.

Tomoyo blushed crimson. "And Rika-chan, Naoko-chan, Chiharu-chan, and Yamazaki-kun."

"Well, that sounds like everyone. Do you wanna call them, or should I?"

"We both can."

"Fine. I'll call Naoko-chan, Chiharu-chan, and Yamazaki-kun. That leaves Rika-chan and Eriol-kun for you. Happy?"

Tomoyo blushed again but nodded happily.

End Flashback

"Hey!" a familiar voice called to her.

"Huh?" Sakura opened her eyes and stared at amber ones. She fell backwards in surprise, into the waiting puddle of muddy water. "Shit! Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry," Syaoran apologized. "What are you doing here?" he stood over her and looked down.

"You gonna help me up or just stand there staring?" she asked him.

"I'll help you. Give me your hand," he ordered.

"Fine," she gave him her hand and was amazed at the warmth of it. "Your hands are really warm," she sighed.

"No, you are just really cold." he pulled her up and felt how cold she was. "You really are stupid, you know that?"

"Why?" Sakura didn't really pay attention to his words.

"You come out here in the rain, during a cool spring, with nothing but a light jacket, and then start to daydream?" he snapped at her. "Hey, you listening?"

Sakura nodded and saw black.
