Chapter One: S+S and the Blushing Contest

Hi all! This here would be my very first fanfic...EVER! Please read, review, and tell me what you think!

Disclaimer: I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura, cause if I did, I wouldn't have to type this out ^_^. That, and I would have a Syaoran of my very very own. (heehee)

I like script format for ease of dialogue. If it doesn't work out for you, write me a review and let me know. I use some Japanese vocabulary in here; refer to the list at the bottom if you need to.

"Name":..... - Dialogue

*....* - Thoughts

[.....] or (....) - Description/Action

Now...on with the show!

Chapter One: S+S and the Blushing Contest

***************************************

The sun was shining, cherry blossoms floated on the morning breeze, the air hung with the odor of freshly prepared breakfast, and...

"HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

Oh yeah, that and Kinomoto Sakura was late for school.... again. Even at 18, the green eyed, auburn haired girl couldn't shake the bad habit. A grown woman on the outside, yet still young at heart. There wasn't a day she didn't think about a certain someone without blushing...but now wasn't the time for that.

"I'm LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!"

[Sakura bolts out of bed, grabs some clothes, makes a ruckus and runs down the stairs. Of course, Kero-chan had been trying to wake her up since an hour ago. Oh well.]

Fujitaka: Ohayo Sakura-san~!

Touya: (with a snicker) You're late. KAI-JUU ^_^.

Sakura: Kaijuu janai yo!

[Sakura digs her heel swiftly into Touya's shin while eating breakfast *rapidly*, then bolts out the door in an instant.]

Touya: (grimaces) I-itai!

***********************

Seijou High: 1st Period

Sakura: (out of breath) Did I.... make it?

Tomoyo: Juuuuuuuust barely. If you don't get in your seat within the next second.... um. Never mind.

[Terada-sensei walks in greeted by the sight of everyone at their desks except, of course, Sakura.]

Terada-sensei: (smiles) Ano...Kinomoto-san...?

Sakura: Hai, hai. (plops herself down in her desk, cheeks red with embarrassment.) * Hoe...I bet I'm even more red than when I think...of.... him...* (She blushes even more at the thought, and furiously shakes her head to get rid of the distraction)

Terada-sensei: Ok everyone, as you all should know, the cumulative Physics test is tomorrow.

[a collected groan from everyone in the classroom]

Terada-sensei: But before we worry about that, we have a "new" exchange student from Hong Kong that'd I'd like to introduce... (Gestures to someone outside the door)

[This got Sakura's attention....]

Sakura: *Hey...this sounds awfully familiar...Nah, couldn't be. *

Terada-sensei: (writing Syaoran's name on the board).... Li Syaoran.

[A well built young man with messy chestnut brown hair and intense eyes walks into the classroom, turns, looks at Sakura and smiles...blushing just a bit as he does so.]

Sakura: (blushes with surprise + embarrassment) *HOE!?.... it's really him.... I didn't expect...*

Syaoran: ... (A/N He's speechless ^_^)

[Syaoran quickly looks down, suddenly finding the floor very interesting. Too bad his face was the color of a ripe tomato. Poor guy.]

Tomoyo: (sees the blushing going on between the two) *sigh* Did I just have deja vu or does this happen a lot?

************************************

Seijou High: Lunch Period

The grass was green, the sun was shining, and even more cherry blossom petals were flying all over the place (where do they all go anyway? They must have one heck of a street cleaner!).

Tomoyo, being the intuitive girl she is, figured out what was going between her best friend and Li-kun. So then, somehow, Sakura and Syaoran ended up being alone by (what else) a Sakura tree. Of course, Tomoyo wasn't far enough away to whip out her camcorder and catch some great shots of the two...KAWAII!!!

[cut to Sakura and Syaoran...who have no luck in establishing good eye contact without turning away and blushing]

Sakura: ..... (blush)

Syaoran: ......(blush)

Sakura: ...It's really nice to have you back Syaoran-kun. (smiles faintly)

--------[cue Sakura's frantic thoughts]

*Oh Kami-sama, does he still feel the same about me? Maybe he got a girlfriend or something? Ooh, he turned out really cute especially that...! Hoeee~ What am I thinking?! I...have to ask him about...*

Syaoran: ..... It's good to be back. (also smiles faintly)

--------[cue Syaoran's frantic thoughts]

* It's good to be back with you is what I should say...Argghhh! Why can't I just SAY IT?! Maybe it's cause she turned out so cute...I mean look at those....! Eeeeeeeh?! No no...I have to ask her if she still...*

Sakura: .....(blush)

Syaoran: .....(blush)

Tomoyo, hidden very well in the bushes, sees that all this is going nowhere. Syaoran and Sakura are both shaking their heads, faces bright red, and no real conversation happening for at least 15 minutes.

Tomoyo: *Mou~ Those two need some serious help before they have a nervous breakdown! Sakura-chan will never get together with Li-kun if this keeps up... maybe I should call Hiiragizawa-kun for help? (blushes) I-I mean, I need all the help I can get and he is good company...*

To be continued!

****************************

~End of Chapter One~

Some Vocab:

Hoe - Sakura's trademark phrase for surprise, excitement, etc. Similar to Huh, What, Why.

Kaijuu - monster. Touya's favorite teasing phrase. "kaijuu janai yo!" means "I'm not a monster!"

Ano - umm...

Hai - yes, or any affirmative

Itai! - ouch!

Ohayo - good morning

Kawaii - cute

Mou - A sort of "geez!"

Kami-sama - the way Japanese people say "God"

Oh...for this next part:

Konyanyachiwa - The way Kero-chan says "hello" or something to that effect

Dou da? - How was/is it?

Honana - The way Kero-chan says "See ya later!"

Preview for Ch.2:

Sakura: Tomoyo steps in! Eriol lends a hand! Syaoran beats around the bush a little more! All this and more coming up in "Advice (and other funny things) Chapter TWO! Jikai mo, Sakura to isshoni...RELEASE!

Leave it to Noelle! (otherwise known as author's notes)

[Pops out of a big sign]

Noelle: Konyanyachiwa!!!! So how did you like it? Was it good? Tell me about it. Yeah, I love it when those two blush at each other. It makes any CCS episode worth my time. It's been a few years since they saw each other last, so I'm gonna leave the blushing in there, even if they did express their love for each other in the 2nd movie (or end of the manga). I mean, what would you do if you suddenly saw your boyfriend/girlfriend in so many years to find out that they're...FINE? Hehe. This is a fanfic, and anything can happen. ^_^

Kero-chan: HEY! You took my spot!

Noelle: Ehehe.... sorry?

Kero-chan: *Ahem* Dou da? Did you brush your teeth and do your homework? Honana!
