Will You Be Forever Mine?

By Final Fantasy Princess (a.k.a. Brenda)

Valentine's Day was coming around. Everyone was fill with anxiety. Who was going to get them as a date for the Valentine Dance?

Every year, it was the same in Tomoeda during Valentine's Day. In every school, girls would put their names in a bag. Later on, the guys would go up and pick out of the bag. The person they picked will be their date for the dance. Girls were all jittery with excitement. Sakura Kinomoto, being one of them, with her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji.

Syaoran and Eriol gulped. They prayed to get their crushes but the possibility was really slim. After all, how many girls were in their class... around 26? And they want to get their crushes? Yes, the thought was insane but it might be possible. Eriol smiled calmly, it was not like him to show his emotions. But inside, it was killing him. He could end up with JAZMINE! That slut, hoe, whatever you want to call her. He definitely didn't want to get her. Syaoran was thinking the same thing. He blushed a bit as he approached Sakura.

"Hi...Sakura."

Sakura turned around and smiled. "Hi Syaoran! Aren't you excited?" Syaoran just nodded. "Who do you hope to get?" Syaoran blushed. "I...umm..." Tomoyo giggled. "Hello Li-kun." She said as she took her seat. Syaoran frowned. Eriol had a sly grin on his face. "I have a feeling I know who Syaoran wants to get..." Syaoran glared at Eriol. Tomoyo grinned, but as usual, Sakura didn't notice what they were saying. "Who does Syaoran want to get Eriol?" All of them fell anime-style. "What did I say?"

"Okay students take your seats! It's time for each of these beautiful ladies to place their pieces of paper inside the bag." Sakura and Tomoyo nodded as they walked up to place their paper into the bag. Syaoran noticed that on Sakura drew hearts all over her paper. `That won't help. I won't be able to see it.' Syaoran sighed. "My cute little descendent stressed? How could he be? You know very well you can sense a bit of Sakura's aura on the paper, or did you forget about that?" Syaoran grinned. For once, Eriol had a point. Now if only he could get to the bag before anyone else.

"All right now! Which gentleman would like to go first?" Many of Syaoran's classmates raised their hands but not as quickly as Syaoran and Eriol. "All right, Eriol then Syaoran, then Yamazaki..." Eriol stood up and grinned. `Ok just feel for Tomoyo's... breathe Eriol breathe.' Tomoyo looked up anxiously. She wished she would get Eriol to take her. She wanted to tell him how much she loved him but she couldn't. She hasn't been as dense as Sakura when it came to love. She had a feeling Eriol liked her also. But she still couldn't say anything.

Eriol reached into the bag and felt around. Finally he grabbed one and pulled it out. "Remember you aren't allowed to open it till everyone has their own." Eriol nodded and went back to his seat. He was playing around with the paper in his hands. "All right... Li Syaoran." Syaoran stood up confidently and reached into the bag. He concentrated for the faint aura Sakura's paper would give off. He sensed it after a while and took it out. His teacher shook her head. "Took you long enough Li." Yamazaki whispered. Syaoran grinned. He hoped for sure that he got Sakura.

After a while, all the boys had their own paper. Eriol was breathing rapidly. He still wasn't certain if he had Tomoyo. `What if I didn't get her? Man... I should have taken more time like Syaoran. Well it's too late now.' "Ok everyone, open your papers."

Eriol took a deep breath. His heart was thumping madly, but his outer figure did not even show an expression on what he was feeling inside. Carefully, he opened the paper. He closed his eyes as he finished opening it. Slowly, he opened one eye and read the neat handwriting of:

Tomoyo Daidouji

Eriol let go of his breath and smiled. He did it. He got the one he wanted to take to the dance. Syaoran, unlike Eriol, quickly opened his paper. He already saw the hearts all over the paper. He already knew he had received his precious cherry blossom,:

Sakura Kinomoto

"Woo hoo!" Yamazaki screeched as he ran up to Chiharu and hugged her. "Did you know that this is fate, many years ago a tribe called..." Chiharu slapped him across the head. "For a second I thought I was happy."

Sakura giggled as she turned to Syaoran. "So...who did you get?" Tomoyo shook her head. Sakura was dense, she knew, but couldn't she at least have noticed that the paper Syaoran was holding was covered with HER hearts. "I got y...y...yo..." Eriol cut in. "Syaoran got you Sakura." Syaoran gave Eriol another one of his death glares as Sakura blushed happily. "Really?" Syaoran stopped glaring at Eriol and nodded. Tomoyo turned around to Eriol. "And what about you?" Eriol gave a small bow to Tomoyo. "Miss Daidouji, it will be such a pleasure to take you to the dance." Tomoyo's face turned scarlet. "You got me?" Eriol nodded as he took Tomoyo's hand and kissed it. Tomoyo turned a bit crimson as she noticed Eriol was blushing. "I'm so happy!" Tomoyo squealed before she could stop herself.

Syaoran and Sakura lifted an eyebrow as Tomoyo covered her mouth. "I mean I'm so happy Syaoran got Sakura." Tomoyo said as she winked at Sakura. Sakura only looked confused. "Nani?"

* * * * *

"So I never knew you liked Eriol-kun?" Sakura said as she lifted her arms to Tomoyo could measure her.

"Silly me. I must have forgotten to tell you. At least he's taking me to the dance and Syaoran is taking you!" Tomoyo said, as she got all starry eyed.

"Heh Heh Heh..."

"Your dress will come out so kawaii!"

"Oh yeah... Tomoyo what is the theme of this Valentine's Day dance?"

Tomoyo shook her head. "Well this Valentine's Day dance is focused on an ancient Valentine tradition. A masquerade dance!" Sakura squealed. "Honto ni?" "Hai!" Tomoyo said giggling.

* * * * *

(Time Gap...)

Later that night, Sakura slipped on her gown. Tonight was the Valentine's Day Dance. Touya looked at Sakura and shook his head. "If that gaki lays ONE finger on you, I'll punch him!" Sakura giggled. "Oh onii-chan." The doorbell rang a few moments later. "I'll get it." Touya yelled as he raced down the stairs. Sakura rolled her eyes as she looked at her costume.

"It's so beautiful..." Sakura said as she twirled around in it. Tomoyo made a light pink dress with spaghetti straps. The top of the dress sticks to her body so it would show her curves while the rest of the dress flowed loosely. It had a dark pink trim on the end. Her mask was made of light gems of light pink and dark pink feathers at the edges. She twirled around in it one more time before she headed downstairs.

* * * * *

Syaoran was having a glaring contest with Touya. Yukito just sweat dropped and shook his head. As Sakura walked down the stairs, Syaoran turned away to gawk at Sakura. Touya grinned in victory.

"You look so beautiful Sakura-chan!" Yukito said. Sakura blushed a bit. "Arigato Yukito." Touya handed Sakura her pink coat. "Remember what I said gaki. ONE finger and I'll break your arm." Sakura kicked her brother. "Quiet Touya!" Syaoran snickered as Sakura linked herself to Syaoran's arm and walked out of the house. Yukito looked at the pained Touya. "I told you not to say it in front of Sakura-chan." Yukito said smiling. Touya shook his head. "He already touched her!" Yukito sighed as he headed towards the kitchen. "That reminds me... I'm hungry."

* * * * *

Sakura didn't have much time to notice what Syaoran was wearing. But she held her breath as she noticed her was wearing a dark green suit. (You know the one from that episode from the play. Yeah but it's a beautiful green. =D) The buttons and trim were made of the color gold. Sakura blushed deep crimson.

"You look beautiful tonight Sakura." Syaoran managed to say without stuttering. Sakura blushed even more. "Arigato. You don't look bad yourself." Syaoran smiled. Sakura felt a chill go down her spine. That was Syaoran's greatest and most rare smile. And it seems he only smiled that special smile when she was around. For that smile is only for her. "So Prince Charming, where is your mask?" Syaoran tapped his pocket. "Right here. I'll put it on once we arrive." Sakura smiled as she clinged to his arm. "Yeah so will I."

* * * * *

"Tomoyo you look like a princess." Eriol said as he kissed her hand. Tomoyo blushed. Eriol was amazed when Tomoyo came to the door. She wore a sleek lavender dress that resembled one of the ancient eras. Her mask was plain lavender, which had a dark purple trim at the edges. Her silver chain necklace with a lavender charm on it fitted the outfit.

Eriol has a dark blue suit (Same as above) with dark blue trims. His mask was like Syaoran's but sleeker. It was a leatherish mask that was navy blue. Syaoran's was a simple thin dark green.

"I'm so glad Li-kun and you let me design your costumes. They're so kawaii!" Eriol smirked. "Who else to leave in charge then the Queen of Designs." Tomoyo blushed a bit more. Eriol turned around and held his arm out. "Shall we be going now dear Princess?" Tomoyo nodded, accepting his arm. "Hai."

* * * * *

As Syaoran and Sakura entered the dance, they were greeted by "How kawaii are those two?" and "They make such a cute couple." Sakura blushed. She wished she were going out with Syaoran. But she thought he didn't like her. How naïve she was. "Let me take your coats." Kaho Mizuki said. Syaoran took Sakura's coat and his own and gave it to her. "Arigato Ms. Mizuki." Sakura said before she left with Syaoran.

Tomoyo and Eriol arrived before Sakura and Syaoran, astonishingly. That was because of Tomoyo's constant puppy eyes to Eriol so she could film some kawaii moments. Eriol gave in and teleported. "How kawaii!" Eriol shook his head. `She'll never change.'

Everyone in their class was wearing masks. Sakura could make out some of the people but not all of them. One was about to ask Sakura to dance before Syaoran cut in. "Would you like to dance enchantress?" Sakura blushed. "Hai Prince Charming." Syaoran led Sakura to the dance floor when a slow song was put on. Syaoran blushed when he placed his hands on Sakura's thin waist. Sakura placed her arms around Syaoran's neck. "I'm so lucky I got you to take me Syaoran-kun." Syaoran blushed. "Yeah..." Sakura moved closer to Syaoran and leaned her head on his shoulder.

From a farther view, Tomoyo squealed. "How kawaii!" Eriol then took her video camera and set it down. He made sure it would film Sakura and Syaoran from a farther view. "Now dear princess, wouldn't you agree it's your turn to dance?" Eriol said a bit impatiently. Tomoyo looked up and blushed. "Hai I guess so." She stood up and led Eriol to the dance floor. Eriol tried to control his blush as Tomoyo moved closer to him already and placed her head on his shoulder. He placed his arms securely around Tomoyo's thin waist. "Eriol-kun... I've been meaning to tell you..." Eriol gulped. `I wanted to tell her first...' "I've been meaning to tell you something too..." Tomoyo looked up into Eriol's sapphire eyes. "Really?" Eriol nodded. "I just wanted to tell you...that...Hey! You wanted to tell me something first!" Tomoyo giggled as she playfully hit him on the head. "Anyways," Eriol continued, "I just wanted to say Aishiteru Tomoyo." Tomoyo's eyes gleamed. "But... we can remain
friends if..." Tomoyo silenced him by placing a finger over his mouth. "Oh Eriol-kun Aishiteru... now and forever." Eriol smiled as he removed her finger and leaned in to kiss her. Tomoyo kissed him back, her heart was happy. As they broke away, ignoring the stares from other couples, they looked towards Sakura and Syaoran. "Let's hope they confess soon. Before Sakura's denseness gets to me." Tomoyo giggled.

After the waltz was over, Sakura seated herself next to Syaoran, sipping her punch. Kaho got up to the stage and took the microphone. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you are all enjoying your dance tonight. But now we will announce who is our most kawaii couple of today!" The spotlight swirled all around the couples. It landed on Sakura and Syaoran. Sakura blushed and Syaoran just scratched the back of his head. Tomoyo squealed as she caught all of this on tape, while Eriol's arms were around her waist, watching from behind.

"Would you two please remove your masks?" Sakura and Syaoran nodded and took off their masks. Everyone applauded, as they were given small crowns. "Congratulations!" Then the spotlight went off. Kaho winked at Syaoran. He knew she set this all up, because there was never a kawaii couple award. Sakura turned to Syaoran and smiled. Syaoran almost melted looking at her. "Syaoran-kun..." "Yes Sakura-chan?" (Tomoyo zoomed in on this.) "I...I..." Sakura stuttered as she looked at the floor. Syaoran walked up to her, lifting her chin with his finger so her eyes could meet his own. "Aishiteru Sakura-chan..." Sakura's eyes filled with tears. `Oh no... what did I do?' "Oh Syaoran..." Syaoran turned around about to walk away when Sakura grabbed his arm. "Don't leave me Syaoran!" Syaoran turned around with a look of remorse on his face. "Forget it Sakura-chan... forget I said anything." Sakura shook her head. "No! Aishiteru Syaoran! I love YOU!" Syaoran had a stunned look on his face.
"Nani?" Sakura looked up at him. "I love you Syaoran." Syaoran took her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "I love you too." Sakura giggled. "I know."

"So Tomoyo-chan, our job is done." Eriol said as he spun Tomoyo around. "Hai and I will call this tape...a quote from your poem." "Nani? What poem?" Tomoyo giggled. "The one you wrote in the back of your book." Eriol's expression changed to a stunned look. "Why were you reading my book?" Tomoyo played with his hair. "Because I'm curious to know what you wrote back there." "So what quote did you pick?" Eriol said as he moved a strand of Tomoyo's hair behind her ear. "It's from your poem. The one you titled, Will You Be Forever Mine?" "So you read my poems too." "Hai." Tomoyo giggled. "Look! They're about to kiss!" Tomoyo squealed as she took out her camera.

Syaoran leaned closer to Sakura. Their lips met in a passionate kiss. Their first kiss, on stage... that they haven't realized they never got off. As they broke apart, they were greeted with squeals, applause, and whistles. Both of them blushed when they realized their class was cheering for them. "About time!" Chiharu yelled. "Woo hoo Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo squealed. They quietly got off the stage.

Sakura and Syaoran held hands as they got off the stage. `What a night!' was all they thought about.
