CHAPTER 5

Sakura secretly tried to sneak into her house unnoticed by her beloved brother.
“Okay now if I could just get past the kitchen it's smooth sailing.” Sakura thought as she took a deep breath before entering her house as quietly as she could. It was already 6:00pm and she was past her curfew.
“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?” Toya yelled through the kitchen without even poking his head outside to see who it is.
“ Hoe…how did you know onii-chan?”
“ I heard the door slam stupid…and besides I have a kaijuu tracker!” Her brother answered happily. Sakura rolled her eyes at her brother's stupidity.
“ Now that that's cleared up… where have you been huh? Were you with a BOY? CAUSE IF YOU WERE…I'D KICK HIS “censored” BACK TO WHEREVER HE CAME FROM!” Toya yelled angrily, forgetting about his question and silently muttering to himself about all the horrible things he'd do to the poor boy who'd touch his sister. Sakura couldn't help but laugh, picturing Li under the wrath of her older, stronger, taller brother. She quickly thought of an excuse to tell her brother.
“ Don't worry onii-chan I was with Tomoyo…uh…hehe yeah…. I just went over to her house…. yeah that's it…haha” Sakura started to squirm in her spot; she was never good at lying. What would she do if she told her brother she had detention with the “Great Syoaran Li?”
“ Okay” Toya said “As long as you weren't around any boys I don't care.” Sakura stared at the wall, who knew her brother would believe her.
“ Uh…okay, I'm just going to go upstairs and change for dinner, I'll be down in a minute.” Sakura said as she dashed upstairs hoping to avoid any more interrogation by Toya.
“ Don't worry onii-chan, I can handle the “Great Syoaran Li” by myself…. this time I don't need your help.” Sakura said quietly to herself before entering her room.
THE NEXT DAY
It was a bright and sunny morning. The cherry blossom trees swayed gently in the breeze, as the soft cherry blossoms danced in the light cool breeze, making their way to the ground. The sky was blue with fluffy clouds decorating the sky.
“BEEP BEEP BEEP!”
“ AH!” Sakura cried, falling out of her twin sized bed.
“ Hoe…” she said rubbing her head furiously. She lazily got up from the hardwood floor and made her way to the bathroom, while accidentally tripping over her feet and falling flat on her face.
“HOEEEEE!” She screeched waking her brother and father from their restful slumber.
“Daijobu? Sakura san?” Her father asked while helping her up.
“ Hai..” She answered rubbing her head like a five year old.
“ Ugh what happened here? Did the kaijuu trip over her giant feet again?” Toya asked rubbing his eyes like a little boy who just woke up.
“ Be nice Toya-kun, it's still to early to start.” Her father humbly replied.
“ HMPF! ONE-DAY ONII-CHAN… ONE DAY!” Sakura shot back angrily pointing at him like a child in her pink bunny pajamas and matching slippers.
“ One day what huh?” He asked humorously.
“GRRRRRR!” Sakura growled furiously.
“ While you're growling here like the wild beast that you are, I am going to use the bathroom.” Toya concluded making his way to the bathroom and locking the door. Leaving the raging Sakura outside pounding on the door like a wild woman.
“ UGH! ONII-CHAN I WAS GOING IN THE BATHROOM FIRST!” Sakura called out in front of the door, banging on it with her tiny fists.
“ YEAH BUT YOU DIDN'T USE IT FIRST NOW DID YOU? I guess you have to just wait your turn..HAHAHAHA.” Toya yelled from inside the bathroom, brushing his teeth.
“ERRR!” Sakura screeched. Toya slowly poked his head and hand from the crevices of the door. He gently knocked his little sister's head and nodded disappointedly.
“Owie.” Sakura squealed slightly, this made Sakura confused. He then walked out of the washroom like nothing happened, leaving the slightly confused and dumbfounded Sakura staring.
As soon as all the commotion dissolved, Sakura made her way to the dining room, changed and ready to go.
“ Otou-san, I'm going to the mall with Tomoyo-chan and the others today, is that alright?” Sakura asked politely to her smiling father.
“Su….”
“ There's going to be a lot of genki's around….I think its best if I come so that I can keep my eye on her” Toya answered interrupting his father,
“ ONII-CHAN! NOOOO!” Sakura whined.
“ Don't mind your brother Sakura- san, he means well…..and yes it's okay with me, enjoy yourself.” Restraining a mad Toya.
“ Fine I won't come…the kaijuu can look out for herself…HA, She'll probably scare those genkis away by just looking at them with her monstrous face…OW!” He yelled as Sakura angrily stomped on her brother's foot, giving him a death glare. A honking horn interrupted the deadly moment as Sakura changed expression to her usual warm and sunny smile.
“ That's prolly Tomoyo…I'll see you later Otou-san…ONI CHAN” As she gave a quick peck on the cheek to her father and another glare to her brother before skipping out the door.
“ Don't get into trouble” Her brother called out to her.
“ SAAAAAKUUUURRRRAAA-CHAAAANNN! COME ON! CHIHARU-CHAAANNN AND THE OTHERSSSS ARE WAIIITIING!” Tomoyo called out from the little yellow beetle parked in front of her house. Sakura was greeted by the smiling Tomoyo and happy go lucky Eriol, as they both waved her over.
“ COMING!” She called out as she ran towards the car. Once she reached the car, She opened the door of the passengers seat and was greeted by an unexpected guest.
“ I warmed a seat for you” Syaoran exclaimed with his usual cheesy grin, patting the love chair beside him. Sakura's smile quickly changed into a frown as she saw the face of her worst nightmare. She had no choice by to sit beside the one she loathed for the entire car ride to Atlantic.
“ WOO HOO!” Tomoyo exclaimed excitedly, “ Let's go Eriol…Eriol?” Suddenly waving a hand in front of his face, waking him from his dazed state. Eriol was too busy staring at all the features of Tomoyo. Admiring every hair on her head, her delicate fingers, her glistening eyes, and the way her nose wrinkled when she was irritated
“ Uh..Oh yeah….he he” he said starting the car, but accidentally putting it in drive, startling everyone but Syoaran.
“ Whoopsy.” He shyly said when he finally realized his mistake.
“ See if you would have let me drive we wouldn't be in this predicament.” Syoaran (the more experienced driver) replied looking out the window acting as if this happened regularly.
“ I would have if your mother hadn't taken away your license!”
“ It wasn't my fault!”
“ YOU WERE THE ONE DRINKING!” Eriol cried out.
“That's besides the point…” Syoaran muttered under his breath, Sakura the only one who heard, choked out a laugh.
“ HA this is amusing, the `Great Syoaran Li' finally got his license taken away by his mother…. ha! This day keeps getting better and better!” Sakura exclaimed happily mocking Syoaran. Tomoyo was too traumatized at this point to even speak. She stiffly sat in the passenger's seat beside Eriol, blinking every once in a while.
“ Uh? Tomoyo-chan?” Eriol asked poking her gently with his free hand, “ daijobu…Tomoyo-chan?”
“ Oh what have I done? My dear Tomoyo-chan, the love of my life, the apple in my eye, is not answering to my helpless calls! If it wasn't for my careless driving, she wouldn't be in this state…. what if she's like this forever? OH THIS IS ALL MY FAULT? OH KAMI SAMA! WHAT HAVE I DONE? WHY AM I SO STUPID?” Eriol thought, sweat dropping everywhere from thinking to hard, eyes twitching while staring at the wheel, just to be more careful.
IN THE BACK SEAT….
Sakura rolled down her window, letting in the light breeze, allowing it to blow through her short auburn locks. She inhaled the crisp wind, forgetting he was there staring stupidly at her.
“ Do you mind? It's cold” Syoaran asked a bit irritated by the fact that she was trying her best to ignore him.
“ No I like it, it's too stuffy in here” Sakura replied sweetly, batting her eyelashes at Li.
“You're going to make me sick. I can't disappoint me admirers, they love me to much….what would happen if they found out I had a cold?”
“ You're such a moron”
“You're just saying that”
“Am not!”
“ I know you love meee!”
“ Ew…never…YUCK!”
“ Okay..” Syoaran rolled his eyes, “ if you say so.” Sakura was annoyed more than ever. She hastily rolled the window down to the maximum and gave Syoaran a “ ha I'm doing this to annoy you look.” She also gave him an evil smirk, just to add that dramatic effect. Syoaran looked at her then looked behind him. He then scotched over beside Sakura, with his usual kooky smile plastered on his face.
“ uh…what are you doing?” Sakura asked a little bit confused.
“ What does it look like I'm doing?” He asked inching his face closer to hers. Sakura had a feeling of what he wanted to do. This time she was prepared. She quickly took out a little bottle her oni-chan made her, just in case any Genki got too near.
WHOOSSHH!
“ AHH MY EYES!”
“ HAHAHAHHA…GOOD! YOU DESERVED THAT!”
“ WHAT IS THAT?”
“ Homemade pepper spray! I call it Syoaran repeller” Sakura said smiling
“ Isn't pepper spray illegal?” a tearing Syoaran asked.
“ Not if it's homemade!” Sakura gleamed.
“THIS IS NOT FUNNY!”
“ HA maybe hahahaha not for you!” Sakura said holding her stomach laughing.
“ UGH!” He yelled
“ Oh don't be such a baby…you'll only feel the burning sensation for a few minutes!”
“ WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?”
“ YOU HAD IT COMING MISTER! This is what you get for trying to kiss an ARMED Sakura Kinomoto!” Sakura said full of pride and happiness.
“ What's going on back there?” Eriol asked wondering what the all the yelling was about.
“ Nothing…heh heh…everything's okay hahahahahha” Sakura laughed insecurely. Trying to talk over the yelling and cursing Syoaran.
“ Ugh fine I'll help you” Sakura sighed, taking out her water bottle and little pink handkerchief from her mini knapsack. She placed Syoaran's head in her lap. Leaving Syoaran confused.
“ How can I help you if your hand is covering your eye?” She said rolling her eyes. She slowly dabbed his eye, sticking her tongue out to the side like a kid.
“ There all better?” Sakura asked like a kindergarten teacher, searching through her bag for a large multicoloured lollipop and handed over to an even more confused looking Syoaran.
“ Umm…yeah..I guess? ” He replied unraveling his unusually large lollipop and stuck it in his mouth.
“ Very good!” She exclaimed, leaving the whole car startled.
“ First you throw pepper spray into my eyes, then you help me and …give me a lollipop…how does that work?”
“ I dunno,”
“ You must really love me”
“ Not with that again…”
“ You would make a great wife!” Syoaran said happily hoping to get her mad.
“ OH.MY.GOD.”
“We're HEEEEERRRRREEEE” Eriol sang, waking Tomoyo out of her trance, stopping Sakura and Syoaran from what could have been another pepper spray incident.
