Carry on Dancing
A/N this is my new story based from the song Carry on Dancing by Savage Garden. Oh and something's are OOC like Sakura is a bit older than Syaoran and stuff like that.
Disclaimer: I do not own CCS, CLAMP does. The song it is based off of belongs to Savage Garden but is a very nice song and I suggest some of you listen to it. But other than that everything here is mine!
Chapter 1: The Moonlight
Sakura sighed as she looked at the person sitting across from her. She was going to kill Tomoyo later for setting her up on another one of these dates. She glanced over at the girl sitting beside her who was also uncomfortable with the person she was sitting across from.
Tomoyo had this obsession with blind dates. She was desperate to find her soul mate out there and was scared that at the age of twenty-five and never having a relationship that turned out, she was going to die an old maid.
Tomoyo Daidouji wasn't bad looking, with her long ebony coloured hair and amethyst eyes, she just never had good luck with men and constantly put herself in a singles ad hoping to meet someone, and of course always dragged her along too so she wouldn't have to face him alone. This meant that they always ended up double dating with strangers.
She looked over at the date she was stuck with for the evening. He was short, balding for his young age…which was supposedly two years older then her, and had beady eyes that crept her out beyond belief. Tomoyo's wasn't much better. He was taller…she'd give him that, had more hair but it was all over the place and greasy, over weight, and wore thick glasses. Now usually she wasn't one to judge people by appearances, she believed personality was the key to the heart. Anyone who had a great personality and could make her laugh was enough and she wouldn't even care about age…well unless he was fifty or something because the thought of sleeping with a grandpa until she was the same age as him kind of grossed her out, anyways she was getting off topic. The point was, they had no personality!
They had bored her from the very beginning of the date. They had no manners, chewed with their mouths open, made the worst jokes, and checked out every female that walked by. She could tell Tomoyo wanted to leave but was too polite to leave the date. Well Tomoyo maybe polite and stay through the whole date, but she didn't care, she wanted out. Even if Tomoyo was her best friend, if it meant leaving…what was his name? Youki? Yuko? Oh wait! She remembered now! Yukio! If it meant leaving Yukio, she would leave her there alone. It was her fault they were there in the first place so she should have to suffer the consequences.
"So the cat said-" Tomoyo's date who she thought was named Kai or something around there said before she interrupted.
"Oh look at the time!" she exclaimed looking at her watch for more affect. "I have to head home! I need to do something to prepare for work tomorrow! I have to leave. Nice meeting you two! Bye!"
She grabbed her coat and purse and bolted for the door.
"Wait Sakura!" called Tomoyo from her seat hoping desperately that she was going to come back. But Sakura was already gone before she could hear her call her.
"Where was I with my joke?" Kai asked thinking hard for a minute. "Oh yes now I remember!"
Tomoyo held in a grimace as he continued to tell his joke she did not want to hear. She was going to kill Sakura for bailing and leaving her alone with these two men, that was a promise.

Sakura sighed happily as she made it out of the restaurant in one piece. She had a feeling Tomoyo was going to kill her later but right now she couldn't really care. All she cared about right now was being away from…oh she forgot his name again! Oh well, wasn't like she planned on seeing him ever again.
She felt herself shiver from the cold of the evening air and slipped on her jacket, she was in such a hurry to get out of the restaurant that she didn't even bother to put it on. Once the jacket was on and she felt herself warm up a bit, she started to walk. She decided to take a walk through the park near by. The walk would probably calm her down from just getting out of there.
She arrived at the park and looked up at the sky and saw the moon shinning bright basking the park in its light. She then started to look around at her surroundings. The park had a giant penguin in the centre, swings, and had plenty of trees. She had always loved this park. She found it peaceful.
Just as she thought about the park being peaceful, the peace was broken. A young man came running through with a young woman chasing after him. The man was laughing while the woman seemed furious.
"Get back here Wolf!" she screamed so loud it made Sakura wince.
The man she assumed was named Wolf just continued to laugh as he ran some more.
"What kind of a name is Wolf anyways?" Sakura muttered under her breath. "Did his parents want to name their kids after animals or something? Does he have a sister named Cheetah?" she held herself from laughing at her little joke. It was cruel to make fun of people's names.
The two ran out of the park and Sakura could still hear the girl's shouts all the way from down the street.
She sighed happily that the noisemakers were gone and sat down on a bench enjoying the silence around her. She hung her head down low; she couldn't believe she was complaining about some noise. "I must really be starting to get old," she whispered to herself. "I'm starting to sound like an old granny. Maybe Tomoyo's right. Maybe I do need to find a man before I get too old…"
"Hey," a voice spoke making her snap her head up and look at who was speaking to her.
"Hi," she said quietly to the man in front of her. It was the man that was being chased by the other girl earlier. "Weren't you just getting chased by that girl a few seconds ago?"
The man then started to laugh again and she knew it was he because it sounded the exact same as the man that was being chased. She got a chance to look at him. Chestnut coloured hair that was unruly but looked good on him, amber eyes that were glittering from his laughter, about 6'2 and a handsome face. He must have been younger than her though; he didn't look like he was the same age as she was.
"Yeah that was me," he said in a husky voice. "I gave Miho the slip, she'll be running in circles for a while screaming at nothing."
"So why are you back here?" Sakura asked. "She might decide to retrace her steps."
"I remembered a beautiful lady her in the park when I passed through, but I never got a chance to talk to her because of Miho," he said while smirking at her looking her up and down.
Sakura blushed at what he was doing but simply said, "Who is this beautiful lady you saw?"
"The one I'm talking to right now," he answered.
"What are you talking about? I'm not beautiful," Sakura said standing up and crossing her arms over her chest. "What game are you trying to play?"
"Just this," he replied and grabbed hold of her shoulders and pulled her close to him and kissed her. Sakura was so shocked at what happened that she gasped causing her mouth to open and he slipped his tongue in making it more passionate.
She got so caught up in the moment that she uncrossed her arms and wrapped them around his neck while his moved down to her waist. Eventually he pulled away because they needed air and Sakura was brought back to reality of what was happening and pulled her arms back from around his neck. She moved out of his hold and started to back away.
"I need to go," she stuttered out and began to run away, but not before she heard him call out to her.
"My friends call me Wolf! What about you?"
"Sakura!" she called and ran away from the park and him. She needed to get back to her apartment anyways.

The next day Sakura was at work. She was the Literature teacher in the local university. She was sitting down at her desk waiting for the students to pile in. Class was going to start soon and the students were almost all there.
It was time to start and right when she was about to start the class, the head master came in.
"Kinomoto-sensei?" he asked trying to get her attention.
"Yes?" she asked looking up at the older man.
"You have a new addition to your class. He's from Hong Kong," he stated as the students started looking over at the door to get a glimpse of the new student.
"Okay, well bring him in," Sakura smiled.
In walked a boy with chestnut coloured hair that was unruly but looked good on him, amber eyes that held nervousness and about 6'2 in height with a handsome face. Sakura's breath almost caught in her throat. 'It couldn't be could it?' she thought to herself. 'It couldn't be Wolf…'
"Kinomoto-sensei this is your new student Syaoran Li," the head master announced.
Sakura just stared at the boy that was standing in front of her class. She couldn't stop staring at him! He looked exactly like the boy she had kissed last night, but according to the head master, he wasn't the same person. She continued to stare and she knew that Li had noticed her staring at him and was probably making him uncomfortable.
"Kinomoto-sensei? Are you even listening to me?" the head master snapped angrily at her.
"What?" Sakura asked dazed.
The head master grumbled angrily and said, "I asked you if you were okay with a new student."
"Yes, yes it's fine," Sakura, said quickly. The head master nodded and left the room leaving Syaoran standing up at the front alone looking uncomfortable.
"Have a seat anywhere that's empty Li," Sakura said smiling lightly. He nodded and took an available seat closest to him.
"Open your books to page 135 and read," Sakura said pulling out her book and finding the correct page. Everyone did as commanded.
After class Sakura sighed tiredly and waited for everyone to clear out so she could get a cup of coffee. Coffee was the one thing she couldn't live without. She didn't know what she would do without it in the morning. She started to go into daydreams of coffee when she heard a voice speaking to her.
"Kinomoto-sensei?" he voice asked timidly.
"Hmm?" Sakura said snapping out of her thoughts and turned to see Li standing there looking nervous. "What is it Li?"
"I was just wondering," he said looking into her green eyes. "Why were you staring at me when I first came into the class earlier?"
Sakura was shocked at his question but answered him, "Oh think nothing of that, I just thought you were someone else for a minute. You looked like someone I know and I was just staring because for a minute I thought you were him."
"Oh, okay than," Syaoran said with a nod. "I was just curious."
"That's okay," Sakura laughed. "If my teacher started staring at me for no reason I would be curious too. Now you better get going."
"Right, see you Kinomoto-sensei," Syaoran called over his shoulder as he walked out the door.
After he was gone Sakura sighed tiredly, "He's like an exact replica of Wolf…"
Sakura gathered her things because she didn't have any more classes to teach that day and headed to get some coffee. While she was getting her coffee, Tomoyo popped up.
"You are going to pay for what you did to me last night Sakura Kinomoto!" she exclaimed angrily.
"It was your fault we were there in the first place," Sakura said calmly filling her coffee cup. "I figured that I didn't need to be there since it was really you who wanted the date so I could leave if I wanted too."
"But you left me alone with them and I had to hear cat jokes over and over again! Then they got into a burping contest and everyone in the restaurant started to look at us! I was dieing! You have no idea how much I needed you there!" Tomoyo cried.
"Ouch," Sakura said taking a sip of her coffee.
"You're not kidding!" Tomoyo yelled.
"So did you come here to yell at me about bailing on you or are you here to talk about something else?" Sakura asked.
"Well now that you mention it…" Tomoyo trailed off. "I have another blind date tonight!"
"And?" Sakura asked taking another sip of coffee.
"And you're coming too!" Tomoyo exclaimed, more like ordered.
"Tomoyo!" Sakura shouted almost choking on her coffee. "How many times do I have to tell you I hate those blind dates? I bail every single one you put me on! I can meet someone on my own."
"But Sakura!" Tomoyo whined. "I'm not going to be young forever! I need to find someone before I become an old maid! I need to find someone before I turn thirty!"
"You're twenty-five! You have plenty of time," Sakura stated.
"No you have plenty of time! You're only twenty-four!" Tomoyo stated.
"That's only one year younger then you," Sakura retorted.
"A year makes a big difference in the dating world Sakura. Please can you just do this for me?" Tomoyo asked begging her ready to go onto her hands and knees.
"Tomoyo…" Sakura sighed.
"Just hurry up and say yes! I need to get back to my class!" Tomoyo snapped. She was the art teacher at the university.
"Fine," Sakura said defeated. Tomoyo's eyes sparkled when she agreed. "But if he's a dud don't blame me if I bail."
"Okay, deal." Tomoyo said happily. "This could be The One for me Sakura! Maybe you too!"
"Whatever…" Sakura grumbled taking another drink of coffee as Tomoyo skipped away happily to her class. "Another night of hell."
