Disclaimer: Ok, this is killing me to say, but I...DON'T OWN CCS OR CC! I wish I did…cause then it would never end, and Sakura and Li would have gotten together at the end of series 1, and then a whole series, including the whole Eli thing…would be with them as a couple.

Sorry! To all those people who know the Japanese names better, but I don't wanna spoil the story by typing the wrong names.

Chapter 2:

Forbidden passion

Li glanced up from his math homework to look at Madison. She was looking at him, and then turned away as he looked at her.

His eyes...they're so amber, so deep...I know he'll never feel the way I do about him, and I know he's Sakura's boyfriend, but surely I can look, but not touch? Sakura will never know. I wonder if Li and Sakura have...of course they have! They've been together six years, and they are 16. Of course they've slept together. Of COURSE they have...

Madison tried to focus on her science paper. She had entitled it 'fatal attractions' and it was all about the ways in which the female could lure the male into doing her bidding. She frowned at the paper and sighed. She just couldn't concentrate. And it wasn't anything to do with Li, she told herself. It was just a hard concept to grasp.

She looks so cute when she's concentrating.The way she wrinkles hernose like that when she's confused.Kinda like Sakura...Sakura...My GIRLFRIEND Sakura. The LOVE OF MY LIFE Sakura. But how would I know if she was the love of my life? I've never been out with anyone else, I didn't even go out on one date with Meilin. How do I know she's the one for me? Madison's so much like her, and yet she has this mystery around her. This silent beauty...she could be mine, I've seen the way she looks at me...but I DO love Sakura, I just want the experience...of being with someone else...

"Are you ok?" Li was staring at her intently, and she jumped guiltily as he spoke to her. She could feel her cheeks growing a familiar shade of red.

"Yes...I...I just don't get my subject for my...paper in science..." Madison looked up at Li with her violet eyes and sighed.

"Well, let me see that..." Li turned her book around and studied her task, as set by their teacher. They had all got a different task, and Li had already finished his 'how mammals and humans are different' essay. Li looked up from Madison's book and runa hand through his gorgeous chocolate hair.

"I understand it...I'm just having trouble visualising it...I haven't had that much...experience in the area..." Madison blushed another four shades of red and looked at her shoes, as though comparing them.

"Well...maybe we need to do a practical..." Li was standing up and Madison was staring at him in confusion. She didn't know what else to do, so she got up too.

"What kind of demonstration?" Madison asked, but as she looked up into his amber eyes, shining with experiences that she could only dream of, she didn't need an answer.

He lifted her chin and kissed her passionatly, almost hungrily, wanting her there, and now. She was shocked at first, and didn't know what to do, but then she regained her senses, and began to kiss him back.

"What about Sakura?" Madison asked as she looked into those sparkling amber eyes once more.

"What she doesn't know can't hurt her." Li replied simply, and that was enough for Madison, and it looked like they wouldn't be doing much work after all.
