Love Forbidden
chapter 4

Sakura arrived in her class and glared at the chestnut haired guy behind her before taking her seat. He returned a toothy grin.

He stared at the back of her head since class has begun. Reminiscing the moment they shared together last night when he walked home. She's different, he thought amusedly.

Syaoran was not that stupid. He knew why girls always came staring at him, the way they would flock him , the way they would always twirl their fingers at their hair flirtatiously and how much there eyes would flutter more than necessary in front of him.

But Kinomoto? That was actually the first time a girl, a female, the opposite of his sex, actually showed coldness towards him. He was used with the smiles, the compliments, the encouragements that he was usually showered with from the ladies. He thought all girls were the same because of that-if it really was, Sakura sure is an exception then.

He remembered how much he tried to say something nice to her, where she would then retort harsh comments back at him. It didn't affect him though-believe it or not-it actually amused him-much to her dismay.

[Flashback]

Sakura and Syaoran walked quietly besides each other-well, Sakura was making sure they got there distance covered.

"You actually fight really well" he commented. It was getting more and more uncomfortable because of the silence so why not break it?

Sakura didn't look at him before answering "whatever"

"But your kick at the first man wasn't really that accurate. You should practice more" he said.

Sakura turned boiling red because of that and she halted. He stopped walking as well. She came towards him, and poked his chest in each word she said. "Are you seriously judging how I fight? Who do you think you are?"

With one swift movement, Syaoran took hold of her finger and flipped her where he was now facing her back. He held her other arm and joined it with the other in a tight bind. He pressed his legs on her so that she wouldn't kick.

"See? You easily loose focus too. You should never lose concentration"

Sakura fumed greatly and tried to escape from him-which didn't take a lot of efforts since he released her quickly.

She glared at him and was about to shout at him for what he done-before he suddenly cut her first "I can teach you though"

Forgetting slightly about her anger towards him, her brows knitted themselves in confusion "teach me what?"

"Martial Arts" he answered.

She paused and thought for a moment-maybe this will benefit her? Especially since that dreaded man is out to get her and her cards. If he did come back, she would be prepared and can fight back unlike last time. She took a glance Syaoran and frown in concentration. But that means she would have to be with Li every time-which will not benefit her at all.

But then again, she need help to conquer this.

She sighed and stared at him for any trace that he was kidding. She snapped her gaze away when she saw how sincere his amber eyes were and felt her face unwillingly heat up.

"I'll t-hink about it" she stammered helplessly making she think of how idiotic she just sounded.

Syaoran, however, only smiled at her and nodded.

Author's Note: This is more like a filler than a chapter really. I'm sorry for the delay and for the other mistakes that I didn't check. Truth is, I didn't really proofread this. X)
