"What a day! What a day!" Syaoran thought to himself, as he lumbered down the crowded school hallway. He lugged two gigantic textbooks towards his locker, which was unfortunately, on the other end of school. Gee…didn't the school think that the students would appreciate their lockers to be close to their classrooms? Man! What a pain!
Cursing about the school facilities' locations to himself, he was oblivious to the appreciative glances sent at him by the female population in the school. Was that drool? Urgh!
It was no wonder though. Syaoran had just made captain of the soccer team. It took a long while for the coach to decide between Keiji Komoruwa and him, the double stars of Tomoda High School.
Syaoran used to be alright with Keiji, since they both brought glory to their invincible soccer team. However, ever since he caught Keiji staring at a certain cherry blossom of his… Let's just say Syaoran's new motto was "To hell with teamwork".
Imagine Syaoran's satisfaction when he snatched the position of captain from right under that brat's nose. Keiji was utterly humiliated in front of his posse of pretty boys. His fan club was quickly dispersed when he announced that he was leaving the team out of mortification. It was fine anyway. Syaoran could handle the team without him.
He wasn't sure that the coach agreed with him though, since the poor guy broke down in tears on the field after Keiji's announcement. Syaoran couldn't care less anyway. The school was his to dominate now. Yes, he did enjoy the feminine attention he was receiving from the school cohort, but he wasn't exactly satisfied with just that.
Finally reaching his locker, he twirled the lock mechanism on the locker and pushed it open, at last, relieving his arms of the heavy books. Not that he was sore of course! Our Syaoran can handle anything right?
Scratch that… I was wrong.
As he closed his locker, he turned and was shocked to find Lisa's flawless porcelain face next to him. Syaoran took a step back from the sudden appearance of the girl.
"Hi Lisa." Syaoran greeted with hesitation. He wasn't exactly sure what to make of this.
"Hey little wolf… Miss me?" Lisa murmured in a sultry tone, fingering Syaoran's collar at close and dangerous proximity. This girl here was your average teenage goddess. She was prized with delectable curves and full-flushed lips, coupled with alluring turquoise eyes and raven black hair. She was without doubt, the Aphrodite of the school. With the cheerleading captain position added to the list, snatching any man off the school market was a piece of cake for her.
Too bad for Lisa, Syaoran wasn't in the market.
The amber-eyed teen gave Lisa a surprisingly impassive face; he blinked at her clearly flirtatious attack. Giving a cough, Syaoran replied in an awkward tone, "It's nice to see you too Lisa. Now if you would excuse me, I have to get to the gymnasium." With that, Syaoran left Lisa standing there, stunned at the boy's lack of response. Where was the old Syaoran that melted into a puddle with just a mere mention of her name? Where was that love-sick puppy that she always knew? WHAT HAPPENED?
Lisa was shocked, confused, bewildered, offended and crestfallen and… you catch my drift. The irresistible sex goddess was rejected? What was wrong him? Did he lack teenage hormones?
Lisa was clearly a popularity seeker. She knew that getting Syaoran would further raise her already goddess status here at the school. She used to ignore him since he was just a mere soccer player in the team. But now, times were different. And now, when she wants him, he dropped her like yesterday's news?
Now the rejected girl, Lisa was flaring-hot furious. Something was wrong here and she was determined to find out what. Lisa fumed with white smoke spewing from her ears and stormed down the hallways towards the gymnasium for cheerleading practice. Time to ask Sakura!
Little does she know, Sakura is the source of her problems.

At the Gymnasium….

Boys filled out the spectators stands. They were here for one reason, Lisa. Today however, they were in for a show. Down at the court, Sakura was coaching her squad for the routine they're going to perform at the soccer game tomorrow. Music resounded in the room as the team prepared for their performance.
"Alright team! Time for the triangle!" Sakura announced to her squad. Her teammates nodded and began to find their positions. The captain was clearly not here today, so Sakura took over.
Nodding her head to the rhythm, Sakura and her team performed the trick flawlessly. A jump here and a roll there, the routine was perfect even without Lisa. The boys clapped at their performance. It was alright without Lisa, they guessed.
As Sakura prepared to somersault off the triangle, a stray basketball from the other side of the court hit the base girl's ankle. Caught by surprise, the base girl lost her footing and that caused the entire pyramid to topple.
Sakura yelped and closed her eyes; her body awaiting for the harsh impact….It never came. Instead, she felt into some-sort of a warm cradle. Her senses tingled as a spray of warm breath tickled her cheeks.
"Do what I owe the honor of catching an angel in my arms?" A voice chuckled. Sakura gradually revealed her emerald orbs and looked up. Against the bright light of gymnasium, were Syaoran's laughing amber eyes. Sporting a massive blush, she bolted off his arms and murmured a small thanks before returning to her squad.
Almost frowning from the lack of skin against skin contact, Syaoran retreated to the stands where his so-called best friend Eriol Hiiragizawa and his girlfriend, Tomoyo Daidouji were relaxing. Erm…scratch that... Eriol was relaxing while Tomoyo was squealing from the marvelous footage she caught when Sakura fell into Syaoran arms.
Dumping his school bag on the cement floor, Syaoran settled himself onto the seat beside his friends. Eriol smirked at his friend and decided to taunt the little wolf. "Enjoying yourself?" he asked, giving a slight chuckle.
Syaoran heard his friend loud and clear. However, he didn't lift his eyes from the lithe figure on the court. Sakura was just simply too innocent to resist. Her tight cheerleading outfit did do her quite a certain large amount of justice. "Yes Hiiragizawa, why do you ask?"
Eriol raised a brow, Syaoran wasn't usually that relaxed with his relationship with this particular cherry blossom. Shifting closer to the chocolate-haired boy, Eriol asked, "Ok, when did you realise Sakura was the girl for you?" Tomoyo's sensitive ears were alerted and swerved her camera to catch Syaoran's next words.
Syaoran tore his eyes from the sweet scene and gave Eriol a glare, "Since I realised Lisa was a total bitch and Sakura is just perfect for me." Eriol laughed out loud and Tomoyo swirled her camera back to the acrobatic cherry blossom.
She then added on, "Glad to see you've finally woken up Syaoran. We were afraid that we would have to tie you to my couch and let you watch all the Sakura tapes I have!" Syaoran smirked and licked his lips as his eyes traced the object of desire's figure.
"Hey, honestly, I don't mind that, although it'll probably take centuries to finish your tapes. Damn! I have to get her to go with me to the prom." Syaoran murmured to his friends, still soaking in the image of the vice-captain of the cheerleading squad. The twin geniuses of mischief stared at Syaoran, slightly dumbfounded at his revelation.
"My my little wolf. You've got it bad." They chorused in unison, giving Syaoran a look. Syaoran laughed light-heartedly and replied, "I know."
Just as Sakura announced that practice was over (she cut it short for early rest for the squad), Lisa burst through the double doors of the gym, her eyes slanted at the sight of the soccer captain. She noticed Sakura walking over to the group. She decided to wait for Sakura to finish her conversation before she will pull the girl off to interrogate her about the soccer captain's queer behaviour.
Sakura retrieved her bag from the stands and greeted her friends, "Heya Tomoyo, Eriol." She then turned her attention to her handsome friend and blushed, "Hi Syaoran. Thanks for…you know what…"
Syaoran chuckled at his blossom's innocence. "No probs cherry blossom. Are you ready to go?"
Sakura quirked her head, confused at his question, "Huh? Go where?" Really, Syaoran could just devour her right there. His eyes glowered at the sight of her cute, yet unbelievingly sexy expression.
Grasping control over his body, Syaoran started in a lecturing tone, "Silly girl! Remember Mathematics 101? You have to pass the midterms to remain in the team right?"
Sakura's emerald eyes widened at Syaoran's words. Yes, she had to pass all her subjects, including the dreaded maths in order to remain as vice-captain. Fortunately, Syaoran was there to help her conquer this difficult obstacle.
"Ohh…right! I forgot. Let me take a bath before we go, ok sweetie?" Sakura chirped, turning around with her bag in hand as she walked towards the showers. She was oblivious to the fact that she had left Syaoran with an almost erotic image in his mind.
On the way to the shower, she was suddenly pulled along by Lisa, hastening their pace towards the showers. "Lisa! What's wrong? And where were you during practice?"
Without a word, the brunette pulled her friend towards a secluded part of the showers and murmured, "What happened to Syaoran? Your friend that was all love-sicky about me?"
Sakura laughed, although feeling slightly uncomfortable with the subject, "What are you talking about Lisa? I'm sure he likes you. In fact, he had to survive mathematics 101 with me just so that I promised him that I would pull you to the dance with him!"
Lisa stared at her friend, not completely believing. "What happened after that?"
Sakura glanced sideways and said, her expression unreadable, "I'm not so sure…but he may be falling for another girl."
Lisa gritted her teeth and spatted, "I'll find out who this girl is. I need Syaoran for the dance." With that, she left the showers with Sakura leaning against the marble wall. The cherry blossom sighed and began to take off her clothes for a bath.
"Just what is wrong with you Syaoran? Who do you really like?" were the thoughts that rang through Sakura's head as water cascaded down onto her body.
She had no idea that the mystery behind all these troubles, was she herself.

Groaning once again as Sakura met head on with a challenging mathematics question, she cancelled out her last equation and resolved to redo the question.
Syaoran sat by idly, feasting upon the sight of the short pants Sakura was dressed in. It was wrong for Syaoran to do this…. But it wasn't his fault that the male human species were borne with such animalistic desires.
"Ne..Syao? Is this right?" Sakura asked as she looked up to show her friend her working. Swerving his eyes to her paper with much difficulty, he gave the messy scrawls a glance before nodding his head, spotting the answer at the bottom.
Giving a silent cheer, Sakura returned to her battle of numbers, not noticing a hand moving towards her. It was time to pounce on his prey.
"Hey Sakura…you know the dance next week?" Syaoran began, his fingers tailing a dangerous route towards her body. Sakura's emerald orbs left the paper for a moment, but she was then shocked when Syaoran began to trail a path upon one of her exposed arms. She really should have worn a T-shirt instead of a tight singlet.
"I was wondering…." He continued in a deep tone. Sakura gulped and watched her friend. It had seemed to Sakura that her friend was ready to devour her with those oh-so beautiful darken eyes.
Panting was soon heard as jade met smoldering amber. A wolfish smirk played on his lips as the hunter leaned closer towards his prey. He was almost there. He could feel it as his hand reached her shoulder blades. A gasp was heard.
"Yes Syao?" Sakura whimpered a little. It had almost as if that the temperature in the room had raised a little. Her mind was in chaos, what was her friend doing? Seducing her in this manner…if this was a joke…!?
The boy leaned closer towards his prize, his lips just centimeters away from the quivering girl. He knew she wanted this, despite the confusion in her eyes. Her body was reacting to him even if her mind wasn't.
Drawing circles on her soft flesh, he whispered in a husky tone just loud enough for the girl to hear, "Would you like to…"
"HEY SAKURA! IS DINNER READY?" A shout came from the doorway of the house. The couple broke apart, one confused while the other displeased from the interruption. He was so close…damn her brother.
Standing up from her seat, Sakura yelled back, "Not yet! I'll get started right away!" The girl scrambled away from the little wolf, clearly not wanting to have a replay of what had just happened.
Syaoran sighed in frustration as he picked up his schoolbag. It was about time he left anyway. His butler was expecting him home soon…
"Good evening Syaoran! What are you doing here?" Fujitaka asked, as he entered the room. He and his son must have returned home at the same time. What rotten timing.
"Good evening sir! I was just tutoring Sakura for maths. I'll be off now…" Syaoran said as he prepared to leave to house.
Fujitaka shook his head and laughed, "How about dinner before you go? You haven't eaten here for quite some time yes? Relax, my daughter's cooking has improved quite a lot!"
Syaoran was about to reject his offer when an idea struck him. Masking a devious smirk behind a grateful smile he spoke loudly, "I would love to stay over Mr Kinomoto. Thanks for the offer."
He was sure that the beet red cherry blossom in the kitchen had heard his declaration. Oh…This was going to be fun!
