Disclaimer: I don't own it nor do I imply that I do. I am only borrowing the Card Captor Sakura characters and world for my fun, only to return them once I have had my fill of them. (Though they may be slightly more wrinkled/torn/disturbed/or whatever else then when I took them.) That means I don't make money off of them- or else I wouldn't write fanfics on free sites- I'd be sitting in a pool of money.
A/N: A holiday kisses chapter. YAY! Happy-Whatever-Ya-Celebrate! And now for the story…

x-x-x-

Sugar danced on Sakura's tongue as she walked around the small fountain in her school. Silently she stared at the stilled water, the morning having been too cold for the teachers to turn the fountain on, as she walked around towards the back.

Her tongue danced around the red and white stripped treat, a gift from her dad as an apology for spending the holiday season camped out in his office trying to get his work done for a big presentation. Sakura had insisted that it was ok, her and Touya had spent the day together. But still he pushed the treat into her hands.

Smiling she hummed lightly. She would have to thank her dad again for the treat, it was just so good.

"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo called out as she waved her hand, running towards the fountain. Breaths came out in white puffs, cheeks reddened from the chilled air.

Smiling brightly Sakura waved back, candy cane sticking out of her mouth. "Gwood mowing Thomoyo-chan," Sakura answered back, her lips holding the treat firmly in her mouth. She was not about to loose such a delicious thing. Laughing she leaned her head back to open her mouth to finish speaking, "How are you today?"

Tomoyo smiled brightly as she nodded, "I'm good." Her dark eyes fell upon the treat in Sakura's lips. Breath catching in her chest, the young girl had to pull her eyes away quickly, afraid that her entire face would turn red if she kept her eyes trained on Sakura's lips.

"Ahh what is that?" Tomoyo pointed to the candy cane in Sakura's mouth, trying to keep her thoughts from traveling back to the pouty red lips of her friend.

"Huh," Sakura pulled out the stick, a sharp point having formed from her sucking on it, before smiling brightly again. "Oh a present from my dad! Have you had a candy cane before?"

"No. Is it good?" Tomoyo stared at the stick before trailing back to Sakura's lips. She couldn't understand why she wanted to taste her lips so badly right now. She could only faintly think about the candy, her dark eyes trained on the deep red lips before her.

"Here want a taste?" Sakura asked, holding the treat in her hands, ready to break off the curve for her friend.

Fate was laughing at her. Scorning her for her love. That had to be it, Tomoyo decided as she stared at her friend. Why else would there be such a temptation here. Why would she have to face such a thought.

Yet Tomoyo decided to be brave, as brave as Sakura was when facing attacks from the Clow Cards.

Smiling the dark haired girl nodded, her eyes trained in on the treat before her. "Yes I would like to try it," she muttered. And without a second glance or thought Tomoyo swept in. Quickly she pressed her lips against Sakura's. She could feel her friend tense at the contact, before loosening up.

Pulling away Tomoyo licked her lips, peppermint lingering on her tongue as she smiled. "Very good," Tomoyo tried to ignore how bright red Sakura's face was getting, as she continued on- trying to pretend that it was a normal occurrence.

Behind her Tomoyo could hear the bell ring. Saved by the bell, she thought turning towards the building.

"Come on Sakura-chan we can't be late!" Already Tomoyo had taken off on a jog for the tall school building.

Sakura gently touched her lips, shock still keeping her rooted in place. Shaking her head Sakura decided to ignroe the kiss. Tomoyo had just wanted to taste her candy. A different way though, yet she still got the taste from it.

Yeah that had to be it, Sakura decided as she ran after her friend, a smiling growing on her face.
