Sakura is sitting patiently in her desk, awaiting for the
teacher to walk in, call the role, then hand them their math test papers and she
would begin...
'Hoe...' she sighed, butterflies floating around her stomach,
'I hope I can do this...'
'You will,' a friendly voice came from behind her. She turns
around. 'You will pass with flying colors.'
Sakura smiles gratefully, 'Arigato, Syaoran-kun...' she turns
back, her heart caught in her throat. Her thoughts drift to that peculiar poem
the other day. 'I really want to know who wrote it...could it be...Yukito-san?'
she liked the thought of that.
The teacher comes in, looking fairly frazzled; he wants
everyone to pass for he favors all of them.
'Ehem. You may begin,' he said, slapping the role back on the
pedestal and walked over to his desk to do some work.
Syaoran stares intently at the test paper; it is covered with
very complicated looking questions. He rests his chin on a hand, tapping the pen
and sighing.
Sakura is nervously scratching away with her blue biro, her
writing slightly wobbly but decent enough to read. She feels a drop of sweat run
down her forehead, she quickly wipes it away.
'Hoe...this is hard...' she whispered to herself, looking
over to Tomoyo who was happily writing away; she'd always been good at math.
Syaoran was having a similar problem. With the girl he loves
sitting in front, he doesn't know how to concentrate.
'All I can think about is her...but you can do this! You're a
whiz at math...or at least you were before feeling this way...' he groaned
quietly, squinting his eyes, the test paper resembling Sakura.
It continues this way for the rest of the session. They, of
course, finish successfully, and shall find the test grade tomorrow.
*
'I was up all night studying!' Naoko moaned, being supported
by Chiharu and Rika. 'I know I failed!'
'You'll do fine, Naoko-chan,' Rika giggled, winking at
Chiharu.
Sakura walks between Syaoran and Tomoyo. She is feeling
nervous, afraid she will fail, but Syaoran and Tomoyo's confidence in her skill
make her feel a little comforted.
'Don't worry yourself...you have much more important things
to think about,' Tomoyo said assuring, wiping a long strand of hair over her
shoulder. 'You'll pass. Li-kun was helping you!'
Syaoran's heart skips a beat as Sakura smiles sweetly over to
him.
'Thank you for your support, both of you,' Sakura sighed
softly, beaming at them both. 'I know I'd have done very bad if you hadn't come
in the first place.' she was now directing to Syaoran with gentle eyes. 'Thank
you, Syaoran-kun.'
'I-It's nothing!' he gasped, placing both hands behind his
head so that his elbows her pointing in the air. 'You're getting really good.
I...'
But Sakura was suddenly looking very serious. They all stop.
'Do you...sense that?' Sakura whispered, narrowing her eyes.
'Yeah...' Syaoran nodded, sensing it as well.
Eriol clears his throat from behind them. 'You are doing well
you two,' he said to Sakura and Syaoran with lowered eyes. 'But you are not yet familiar
with my particular aura.'
Tomoyo laughs, skipping forward and clinging joyfully to
Eriol's arm. 'We'll see you two later. Eriol-kun and I are going out for...er...l-lunch.
I'll see you during Poetry studies. Sayonara.' and with that, the two lovebirds
left two confused people behind.
Sakura and Syaoran begin to chuckle, embarrassed and relieved
that it wasn't another card or new enemy then sensed.
'Well', Sakura started, waving her hand, 'Let's go and
discuss our plans for the skiing trip coming up.'
Syaoran nods and they both walk over to the group to chat
among many things.
*
To the joy of Sakura, everyone was able to go to the ski
trip. But their worries at the moment were to complete school work before they
enjoy themselves.
'Good afternoon, my young Mozart's,' the teacher snorted, nostrils
flaring. 'We need to see all your completed pieces here. I'll take them after
you mark your name down.'
Syaoran stops dead; he'd forgotten all about his poem.
'Speaking of which, Syaoran-kun,' Yamazaki sniggered,
covering his mouth, 'We found this paper with the funniest poem about Sakura-chan
written on it yesterday...you should have been there!'
'Silence, young man!' the teacher barked, then continued with
the role.
Syaoran was beside himself (Though Yamazaki was physically
beside him). His head in a nervous breakdown, he was wincing heavily.
'The poem...' he hissed, scribbling on a piece of paper,
trying to think of something quick.
'POEM! MR. LI!' the teacher howled, furiously eyeing
him.
Syaoran signs it quickly, handing it hastily to the teacher
and sits back in his chair.
'Ooh, you finished it in one night?' Sakura mused, sounding
impressed.
'Uh, yeah,' he shrugged, not looking at her.
Sakura began to giggle, remembering her poem. It was about a
cute little wolf cub that fell in love with a pink rabbit. She didn't understand
it herself, but then again, the teacher said it was to be about anything.
'Can I read yours later, Syaoran-kun?' Sakura asked.
'S-Sure! Just as long as I can read yours,' he said wearily,
patting her hand off his shoulder.
Sakura smiles around herself, humming a song she'd heard on
the radio called "Platina".
*
'Ugh! I hate poems! They are a curse!' Syaoran whacked banged
his head on the wall in the male's bathroom, staring at himself in the blotchy
mirror. 'Baka, baka, BAKA!' he scolded himself. 'I'm going to fail...' he
groaned, beginning to sulk, 'So much for impressing her...'
'Impressing who?' Yamazaki piped merrily, his index finger
suddenly erected in the air. 'Did you know-'
'YAMAZAKI-KUN! I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER THE YOUR RESTROOM!
BUT I CAN HEAR YOU A MILE OFF! AND IF YOU EVEN THINK IF YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH A
STORY BEHIND MY BACK, YOU'RE DEAD MISTER!' Chiharu hollered from behind the
door, sounding very pissed off indeed.
Yamazaki flinches, is arms flapping around madly. 'I gotta
go! Bye, pal!' he squawked like a giant parrot, zooming away as Syaoran stared
after him.
'Right then...' he sighed, knowing he had to go out and face
Sakura. 'Should I tell her it was me...?'
*
'Nice poem, Sakura-chan,' Rika giggled, handing her back the
spare copy.
'Thanks,' Sakura said happily, handing the copy to Chiharu
who was still a little annoyed with Yamazaki to read.
'Kawaii!' Chiharu looked much happier and handed it to Naoko.
Everyone who reads it thinks its cute, then finally it is
Syaoran's turn to read.
Sakura begins to blush nervously, hoping he'll like it.
The poem:
Kawaii
chibi wolf,
a
walk he did go for.
Unto
seeing the beauty of one
pinku
usagi.
Thy
love is true, though at first glance
he
prays to the gods for a chance.
Will
love be cherished, though obstacles there are?
In
difference, in how much or so difference?
But
as it is said, "love doth have no boundries".
So
thy love shall pass.
Syaoran goes very red, it reminds him of himself and Sakura
for his name meant wolf, and she was very cute, much like a bunny need it be
said.
I-It's nice...' he muttered, handing the paper back.
'Thank you!' Sakura giggled, her emerald eyes sparkling.
'Y-Yeah...' he mumbled, rubbing the back of his head, comparing
it to his poem.
'Hoe? You have your poem here as well?'
'N-No...I only had one copy...' he sighed.
'Oh...then later,' she seemed slightly disappointed, tucking
her paper back into her bag.
'Ooh, Yamazaki-kun, Chiharu-chan gave you that bear, ne?'
Tomoyo said.
Chiharu and Yamazaki both go bright red, looking at each
other anxiously.
'Um...yes,' they both whispered, looking away shyly.
'It is a food now, right?' Naoko remarked with a sigh.
'But I thought you were supposed to name it after the person
you...oh...' Rika breathed, suddenly looking amused.
Sakura looks around at them confused. 'What? What's going
on?' she wondered, making a face.
Syaoran blushes at her cuteness, his amber eyes widening.
*
Sakura finally took Kero's advice; she would tell Yukito how
she feels and give him the bear she made.
She waits out his door quietly after ringing his bell.
He answers, surprised when she presents him a bear.
'F-For you,' she mumbled, her fingers covering her eyes.
'Oh, thank you, Sakura-chan.' Yukito smiled, accepting it,
'what is it for?'
'I need to tell you something...' Sakura continued, facing
him, her cheeks pink.
'Yes? What is it?' he said, beaming at her, his golden eyes
shining behind thin rimmed glasses.
'I...I-I love you.' she stammered, her hands clasped
together, 'I love you!'
His smile turns into a frown, his face resembling that of his
other embodiment; Yue.
'You do not love me,' he said coldly.
'B-But I...do love you...'Sakura was shocked at his answer.
'No, you possess the love that of a sister. You feel the love
for that is for your father.' he explained, his eyes growing gentle again. 'But
I thank you for this bear...'
Sakura's eyes grew watery, 'Then you love another...'
'No. I do not have anyone on my mind, but all in good time.'
he sighed, placing a hand on her cheek, caring for her like an older sibling.
'Someday, you will find someone who will think of the world of you...and he will
love you as much as you love him.'
Sakura nods, eyes welling up, but she smiles. 'Th-Thank
you...Yukito-san.'
*
Sakura has asked Syaoran to go for a walk with her to the
Penguin Park. They sit on swings alongside each other.
'I...' Sakura began, her lips trembling, 'today...earlier...'
Syaoran watches her seriously, holding his breath.
'I told Yukito-san how I feel...' she croaked, gripping the
swing handles tightly. 'he said I didn't love him that way...but that of my
father...'
Syaoran shuts his eyes tightly, leaning his head against the
handle, his heart feeling great pain.
'I don't want to cry in front of him...because then he'd
know...' she gasped, as tears leaked out. She holds her hands out to catch them.
'I-I don't understand...why the tears are flowing...I'm happy for him...I really
am...I understand...'
Syaoran struggles to his feet, then, taking a blue
handkerchief from his pocket, holds it under her face. She looks up to him with
shock.
'I knew,' he said with a gentle smile, 'I understand...'
Sakura also standing, accepts it. She steps forward and leans
her head on his chest as he is taller than she is.
'Yukito-san...he said...I would find the person someday...and
he would think the world of me...and love me as much as I love him...' she
sobbed, heaving her shoulders, leaning weakly against his chest as the tears
dropped to the ground.
Syaoran struggles against his own tears. He raises his arms
slowly, enfolding them around her back and bringing her into an uncomfortable
hug.
Though Sakura's face is hidden, her lips curl into a
sad/happy smile.
'You'll find him...' Syaoran assured softly, holding her
tighter, 'Soon...'

Weeks had past and school was almost over. It was December
Sakura stood uneasily trying to hang the lights.
"SAKURA! YOU'RE HANGING IT ALL WRONG!!" Touya
taunted.
"Shut up Touya! IF you hold the ladder steady, I could
hang these better!" Sakura retorted angrily.
"Any moron could hang a set of Christmas lights
onto a tree! It's not that hard!" Touya shouted back.
"IT'S NOT THAT EASY TOUYA!!!! MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T BUSY
FLIRTING WITH MITSUKI OVER THERE, YOU WOULD HOLD THIS LADDER MORE STEADY! WHAT
DO YOU THINK?!"
Touya and Mitsuki blushed.
"Alright, alright! Enough you two!" Fujitaka
shouted calmly from the kitchen.
The Kinomoto household was alive with the sweet smells and joyous
spirit of the holiday season.
The Li family had come to help out and spend a little time to
get to know each other a bit more.
Yelin was helping Fujitaka in the kitchen. Sakura, Touya,
Syaoran, Mitsuki, and Leia(syaoran's other sister) were helping with the decorations.
The other sisters were doing the cleaning.
"I love the holidays!" exclaimed Sakura passionately,
"especially Shogatsu(New Year)!" Sakura sighed.
"Ahhhh," sighed Fujitaka, "hai...the new years
most certainly is the most joyous time..."
"When is it?" asked Syaoran with interest.
"It's on the first of course! How could you
forget?" Sakura asked.
"Well...we have a different new year...in case you have
forgotten, I am from China..." Syaoran said simply.
Sakura blushed with embarrassment, "Um...yah...I
forgot."
"So, dad, Li-sama, what are you making." Touya
asked impatiently.
"Hmmm...let's see...dim sum, yasai, ahiru, grilled
sakana, gohan, hiyamugi and yakitori." said Fujitaka struggling to keep up
with the boiling stove.
"MMMM! YAKITORI!!!" Sakura squealed with delight.
"Don't forget...we're making gyoza dumplings, chow mein,
fried yam and crab." reminded Yelin.
"CRAB?? OH GREAT!! I LOVE OSECHI-RYORI!!"(New years
food) Sakura beamed.
Sakura sat down on a sofa beside Syaoran whom was sipping a
cup of hot chocolate.
"Ahhhh. I'm beat!" Sakura sighed whipping the sweat
from her face.
"When is this party again?" Syaoran asked in
question.
"Um...it's tomorrow!" Sakura said gleefully.
"Who's coming?" asked Leia curiously.
"Um, my friend Tomoyo and about half my class...I
haven't given out all my invitations yet..."
"I see...." Syaoran responded obviously deep in
thought.
"You know Sakura-chan, in Hong Kong we don't really
celebrate Christmas as much as we celebrate New Years. It is a really popular
Holiday back home." said Chang, Syaoran's other, other sister.
"Really? Same here. Most people I know don't decorate or
anything...but I love the spirit of the season..." Sakura said sweetly.
"I hate it!" groaned Syaoran, "Well, the
weather I mean. It's always cold and snowing and wet!"
"Oh well..." Sakura sighed turning to gaze out the window, "I
think the snow is so beautiful. It's so heavenly and gentle...almost
magical..."
Syaoran blushed," It is isn't it..." Syaoran said,
although he wasn't talking of the snow...but of Sakura.
Sakura continued to stare out the window as Syaoran continued
to stare at her.
Sakura stared dreamily, her eyes sparkling, "It's so
magnificent, glistening and shimmering...."
"Like bright pools of emerald..." Syaoran sighed
softly.
"What? Syaoran...snow is white!" Sakura said
turning to stare at Syaoran.
"Oh...yah...snow...that's what I meant..."
Syaoran said blushing a tiny bit, getting slightly nervous.
"Isn't it so lovely...I can just dance in it all
day...twirling, dancing, playing..." Sakura stared out the window, then
sighed. A tear slowly slid down her cheek.
"It reminds me so much of Yukito..." Sakura gently wiped
away her tear. A look of concern appeared on Syaoran's face.
"Sakura..." he said gently trying to let her know
he was there for her no matter what.
Sakura turned to look at him and smiled slightly.
"Thanks for being here for me Syaoran...its a good thing
we're friends."
Syaoran smiled, their eyes lock, and for only a few minutes
they just stare at each other, then look away.
Syaoran's sisters are in a far corner giggling intensely
understanding very well what was developing.
Syaoran suddenly got up and walked away slowly to the kitchen
leaving Sakura to gaze at the falling snowflakes through the window.
Syaoran sighed knowing Sakura only loved him as a really good
friend, but nothing more.

*The
way her beautiful eyes are presented like two precious jewels...
The
way her lips curl into a sweet and tender smile...
The
way her laughter rings like the many bells of a most sacred church, welcoming
each passing hour...greeting.
Her
hair shames their brilliance, that of the sun, the moon and the stars...
The
universe all in its advance...it can not compare...
For
only one is present in my heart...
She
is that one. The love I feel for her...is undying and eternal...
I
love her.*
Sakura's eyes grow watery again; it had been the sweetest
thing she'd ever read.
'Syaoran-kun is so skilled in his choice of words...'
She didn't understand why, but the way it was written seemed
relevant to the other poem written by someone who felt for her in a caring way.
She gasps, pausing on the thought of the word - Love.
'Love...' Sakura murmured, tucking the paper back into her
pocket. She turns her head and watches Syaoran's sisters giggle around each
other in the corner, while her father and Yelan tend to the food.
Touya and Mitsuki are making out behind the giant Christmas
tree. She is tempted to go over there and tease them, but she hesitates, for she
is preoccupied with thoughts of love.
Would she ever find this true, if not impossible feeling?
Her thoughts suddenly dwindle to Yukito. She had wondered if
her infatuation had been the real thing but what he had said to her was the
truth; it was the love for a father, a brother; not lover.
She takes a deep breath, growing more pleasant as Syaoran
swept by in her memories. He had mistreated her earlier that year, but he was
becoming more and more gentle every day...he was so thoughtful. He had offered
her to confide in him if there ever to be a problem and she liked that feeling
of contentment.
'Syaoran-kun,' she mouthed, gazing out the window once again,
'Why did he refer to the snow as green like emeralds?' she suddenly felt
confused.
'Emeralds?' she repeated, shuffling around to look over at
Syaoran who was sitting at the kitchen table, reading a manga. She notices the
cover is Shoujo(Girl Comics...dont ask) and giggles. 'I never knew he was into
that sought of thing.'
Syaoran is deep in his reading; the scene displayed before
him is of a boy and girl confessing their love to each other.
'I...love you,' he breathed, reading along the lines. 'I love
you too,' he said again, the girl had answered with a blush. And they hug
tenderly, promising a lifetime of eternal love.
Syaoran, in frustration, snaps the manga shut, and groans
gruffly, plopping it back onto the table, glaring at the front cover, (Which is
the back cover in Japan).
'Syaoran-kun!' she chirped, staring admiringly at him, 'I
never knew you were such a romantic! A little inspiration, ne?' she cooed,
tapping a finger on the magazine and giggling.
'Y-Yeah, Sakura-chan,' he grunted, shifting uncomfortably in
his seat. 'That sort of thing...'
'Ne, thank you for letting me read this,' she handed him back
the paper, 'it would be wrong for me to keep it. It seems to hold great
importance to you - and to that special girl...' her eyes grew gentle as he took
it from her with a quivering hand.
His heart begins to beat faster than hoped for. 'Th-Thank
you...' he stuttered, his face growing warm.
'Hoe, it must be too warm in here,' Sakura exclaimed,
hurrying over to the central heating system and turning it down with the digital
remote computing system. 'There.' she returned to him with a bright beam.
'So...' he sighed.
'So,' she mimicked, turning her head slightly to the side,
resembling a very cute puppy. 'Who is this lucky girl?' a cheeky grin spread
across her sweet face.
Syaoran lowers his head, 'Uh...' his fingers shadowing his
eyes that were staring at her.
Sakura beams at him absentmindedly, slightly puzzled by his
reaction but happy all the same.
'Ne, Syaoran-kun, you don't have to tell me,' she chuckled,
suddenly startling him as she leant down and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
'Wah!' he was suddenly frozen in position, ogling to his
front.
Sakura gives him an enthusiastic hug and dashes off to the
kitchen to see what else her dad has made.
His cheek tingles with her soft kiss, the sensation
remaining, and he never wanted it to go away. He holds a hand to the side of his
face, allowing the kiss to be absorbed, the pleasant feeling, it made him feel
warm and then and there he told himself that he was going to tell her...soon.
Chapter 40: Sakura's Christmas party
(by Melissa, added on 19 June 2002 07:37 PM)
The school bells rang enchantedly as school had begun again.
Sakura and Tomoyo sat in the classroom talking to each other.
"Yes! It's the last day of school for the
holidays!!" Sakura said as she stretched as she sat at her desk.
"Well, you seem excited!" Tomoyo said with a sweet
smile.
"Of course! No tests...no assignments...no
kanji...."
"Sakura," Tomoyo began, "First of all, school will
only be out from the December 24---January 5. That's not really that long.
Besides Sakura, you can't get rid of kanji...we read it, we write it, it's our
language."
Sakura groaned, "I know...but its sooo hard to learn all
of them!!" (note: kanji are those Japanese characters instead of letters
that we use)
"It could be worse! You can be in a cram school. And
Well...if you think you've got it bad...what about Li-Kun? He doesn't understand
Japanese as well as we do. I also heard that Chinese is a very
complicated language. Even more so then ours!" Tomoyo indicated.
"Yah...I guess your right." Sakura sighed as she
glanced at Syaoran whom was behind her reading.
Immediately Mazuki-Sensei, the language arts teacher, had
walked into the room with a mysterious smile on her face.
"Ohayo students. Please take out your kanji and kana
practice books." Kaho said immediately.
The class moaned and groaned angrily.
The day went on long and nearly endless as it often does.
When it did finally ended though, everyone was glad for they were getting two
weeks off school. Everyone excitedly raced out the school.
Sakura roller bladed with Tomoyo that afternoon with
excitement bubbling inside her.
"I got get home real quick Tomoyo," Sakura said
rollerblading backwards, "My party starts in two hours!"
Tomoyo gasped, "Then lets hurry!"
The two sped off; Sakura gliding down the street on roller blades,
Tomoyo dashing behind her.
***1 Hour Later***
Sakura and Tomoyo spent and hour doing final cleaning and
adding extra decorations for Sakura's Christmas party.
Touya, Mitsuki and Yukito had come to help Sakura with the
party. Fujitaka was not home, and since Sakura was only 13, he did not want her
to hold the party alone. Since it was Sakura's party, Touya and his friends were
responsible for preparing the food and Sakura was just hosting it .
Sakura nodded with satisfaction eyeing every detail of the
home.
"It's perfect!" Sakura said approvingly.
"And you look great Sakura!" Tomoyo said happily.
Sakura smiled, "I'm flattered! Arigato Tomoyo!"
Sakura wore a short green mini skirt, white high-heeled
platform shoes and a thin silk-like red blouse. Her almost shoulder length hair
was pulled into two pigtails with green bows fastening it. Her long side-bangs
forming curls against her chin.
"You look pretty good yourself!" Sakura
complemented to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo wore a white blouse with embordery of Christmas holly
on the sleeves. She wore a long black silk skirt and white high-heeled sandals.
Her hair tied into a fancy bun decorated with a large bright red bow.
Suddenly Sakura clapped her hands over her mouth in worry and
she began to panic, "Oh crap! I forgot to remind everyone that we're
exchanging presents! Oh crap! I forgot to say what time the party is over! Oh
crap! I forgot to---"
"Sakura, don't worry! Stop panicking, everything will go
fine. I told them to bring presents this morning remember?" Tomoyo said
reassuringly.
"Oh yeaaah...thanks for reminding me." Sakura said
calming down a bit.
"Okay, when are your stupid little friends coming
over?!" Touya shouted intrudingly. He stood with messy hair, a butcher
knife in his left hand and a white apron covered with red, brown, and green
stuff.
"TOUYA! THEY ARE COMING IN HALF AN HOUR! YOU CAN'T LET
THEM SEE YOU LIKE THAT!!!" Sakura screamed.
Yukito came out with his hair messy and his face covered in soot.
"W-WHAT HAPPENED?!! WHY ARE YOU COVERED IN
BLACK?!!!" Sakura screamed again.
Yukito shrugged, "Mitsuki can't cook...she just burnt
the rice and the cake..."
"I HEARD THAT!" screamed Mitsuki from the kitchen.
Sakura smacked her head, "NO! NO! NO!!!!!! THIS IS ALL WRONG!
TOUYA GET YOUR GIRLFRIEND OUT OF THE KITCHEN AND MAKE HER JUST SERVE THE
FOOD!"
"No way is my girlfriend serving your friends! She's not
your maid!" Touya shouted back.
"Fine! We"ll put buffet tables!" Sakura
decided, "But she's not cooking!"
Tomoyo pulled up her sleves, "Alright you guys. Calm
down, Yukito and I will handle this..." she said making her way to the
kitchen.
"I'll bake the cake, Yukito will deal with the finger
foods." Tomoyo said as she headed to the kitchen, "unless he eats it
all first."
Yukito blushed.
***2 Hours Later****
The House was sparkling and the decorations made the home
even fancier. Bells, mistletoe ^.^, Christmas tinsel, hollies, and evergreen
branches hung everywhere.
Touya was the DJ, Mitsuki in charge of cleaning, Yukito in
charge of cooking.
Sakura sat on the coach, growing tense as she awaited for
people to arrive. The first 2 to come was Syaoran and Eriol.
"Kinnichi wa! Syaoran, Eriol." Sakura greeted
happily. Syaoran and Eriol bowed and entered after taking off their shoes and
putting on slippers (Japanese custom).
"Wow Sakura-chan! You did a wonderful job with
decorating this place!" Eriol commented with amazement, "Did you use
magic?"
Sakura was surprised he asked that.
Was he questioning her abilities?
"Um...noo." Sakura replied.
Syaoran suddenly freaked out, yelped and turned red, "AHHHHH!"
"Syaoran what's wrong??" Sakura asked in worry.
"W-W-WHAT'S THAT?!!" Syaoran yelped again
his face turning even more red as he pointed at a plant hanging from the roof.
"Oh that!" Sakura said giggling,
"that's mistletoe! If two people are under it, they have to ki--"
"I KNOW!!!! I KNOW!!!!" Syaoran snapped quickly,
not wanting her to say more.
Everyone other than Sakura and Syaoran laughed out loud
knowing exactly why he got nervous leaving Sakura rather confused.
Eventually more and more people came and the house was
spilling with people. Many people came and some brought friends with them.
