I don't own CardCaptor Sakura or any of its characters. CCS belongs rightfully to CLAMP. I do own this plot, though. Any resemblance to any person, situation or conflict is pure coincidence only.

Sorry for the late update. I was busy for my cosplay and stuff, heh. XD Thanks to all who read and reviewed! :P I hope you all like this chapter.

Chapter Four: The Implied

Syaoran saw me naked. Syaoran saw me stark naked. Syaoran saw me entirely naked. Syaoran saw my boobs. Syaoran saw my butt. Syaoran saw my—URGH. I clutched my arms tightly around myself, my eyes as wide as saucers. No, plates. No, tires! Holy cyber engineered alien-looking cow, he saw me naked. Naked. Nakeeeeed.

I began collecting my breath that seemed to have left me for an hour. I panted profusely. Calm down, Saks. Calm down. Stop repeating the obvious, damn it. Okay, so maybe there's a reasonable explanation behind this. Maybe he closed his eyes shut when he entered the room. But then, how did he know I was unconscious?

Or maybe he closed his eyes then carried me. But then, he would've tripped and I'll be having two bumps on my head. Or maybe he asked for Wei's help in carrying me. Then, he wouldn't have seen me. But then, ew, Wei surely did.

I think I'd rather have Syaoran the one who saw me naked instead.

I then bolted out of the room, Meilin calling from behind me. I descended down the stairs, practically running all the way down. I saw Syaoran watching TV idly again, flipping various channels. Does he even call this watching? You wouldn't be able to watch anything by being fickle-minded like that!

"Syaoran!" I shouted, calling for his attention.

He didn't budge.

"Syaoran!"

No response.

I soon decided to block the TV by standing in front of it. "SYAORAN!"

He raised a calm brow at me. "What?"

What does he mean 'what'? "Don't fool around with me, you bastard! You know what happened! Did you see me naked? Were you the one who put on my jammies?" I roared.

He grabbed a piece of popcorn and tossed it inside his mouth coolly. "Yup,"

Ugh, why is he so fucking composed? "So you saw my body and my boobs and my…" I trailed off, embarrassed of saying any further. I can actually feel my cheeks heating up.

"There's nothing to see, anyway. You're pretty flat-chested,"

Say what? I looked down at my boobs. Hey, they're not as big as the other girls but, I'm proud of my size, you know! At least, they're not non-existent. "Flat-chested? You pervert! I would never forgive you for—"

"Hey, I helped you. A thank you would've been appreciated," Syaoran retorted, standing up. "I don't have time for this. You are insane like what they say, Sakura."

Insane? The whole school thinks I'm insane?

He was preparing to leave but, I grabbed his arm to prevent him. "You will forget what you saw, got it?" I demanded, glaring at him.

Syaoran didn't even bother turn around. "Let me go," He muttered.

"Not until you forget everything," I replied.

"Let me go," He turned around this time, glaring at me. I could see so much rage in his eyes. It's almost like this morning. "Now, Kinomoto."

Oh, now he calls me by my surname. "No! Not until you—"

Suddenly, he grabbed both of my shoulders and banged me against the wall, his angry eyes never leaving mine. I winced. That would leave a bruise. Splendid. Way to go, Syaoran. Way to go tarnish my flawless skin.

"Can't you understand a simple sentence, Kinomoto? Or are you just a dumb fugly bitch that can't take a freakin' clue?" He yelled, my ears deafening momentarily.

I gazed at him with shocked green eyes. Why is he being like this? Okay, so given that I acted like a bitch earlier this day and we didn't talk right after that, still… why is he acting this way? He helped me, didn't he? Even if it meant seeing me naked. I'm still not forgiving him for seeing my virginity but, he helped me. He still did.

"Why are you being like this?" I managed to mumble after a triumphant gathering of my voice.

He remained silent and I felt his grip on my shoulders tighten as he stared down. He still appeared ready to kill me.

I looked down too and I smiled crookedly when I looked up again. "Heh, I'm being too much. I'm asking too much from someone who despises my very being," I said. Well, that's true, anyway. I'm being stupid. Like I always do.

There was a long pause. I anticipated him to punch me, to hurt me. Instead, I was really surprised, however, when he held the back of my head gently and kissed my forehead with much warmth. "I don't hate you," He whispered, pulling me into a hug and resting his chin on my head.

What's… happening? One minute he was calling me a fugly dumb bitch then, this? I was too shocked, too bewildered, too astonished to do anything. Is this really occurring? Someone fucking pinch me. NOW! Or punch me, or kick me, I don't care. I'm not picky!

I swear I feel like the whole world stopped minus all the cheesy romance shit, of course. I'm pretty certain my eyes can't go any wider. I don't know where I'm more shocked: the fact that Syaoran saw me naked or the other fact that he just kissed my forehead and is now hugging me?

He soon let go and he looked me in the eyes again with that intense stare. I returned his gaze but when I did, he looked away and left. He punched the wall beside the door first before he left the house, leaving me astounded in its wake. God, I can't believe that just happened. Not that, you know, I'm feeling all that queasy love shit because it's for Yukito alone but…Syaoran, why?

"What just happened? Is it just me or was that a scene from a romance flick?" Meilin piped in. I glanced at her. Looks like she saw everything from watching us near the stairs.

Even I don't know. "It's just you," I replied. I would've smirked at her but, the disbelief from what happened a while ago is still evident on my face.

Meilin walked near the couch and sat on it. "Know what, Saks, that's the first time I saw him like that."

My knees felt weak. Call me over-reacting but, it did that I slumped down on the floor. "Not even with his girlfriends?"

I saw Meilin glance at me. "He's not even affectionate towards them. Sure he kisses them passionately, sometimes on other parts of their body but, that's it."

I sighed. "So, what does this mean? He likes me? That's the most impossible thing in the entire cosmos we live in! We hate each other, remember?"

"Well, according to what I heard from him, he doesn't towards you." She stated, as if a well-known fact.

But, that's just weird! Unethical! Surreal! This is all some big bullshit he decided to pull on me. Yep, that's it. He's having his payback. He thinks I will fall for his flirting and dumbass tricks. Ha! He has another thing coming his way if he thinks I will fall head over heels for that.

Like what he said, I'm unlike the other girls.

xXx

"What? Eight o'clock?!" I shrieked, seizing my alarm clock. "Damn you! Why didn't you go ring thirty minutes ago?"

In my rage, I threw my alarm clock, watching it break down into tiny pieces. It's nothing new to me, really. This is like my forty-seventh alarm clock that I threw in my fury. I know, I shouldn't take it out on these poor innocent machineries but, can you blame me? They're alarm clocks, for heaven's sake! If they don't perform their jobs then, what's their use?

They might as well get fired. And yes, this is my idea of firing them.

I hurried preparing myself. It didn't help either that because the pipes of my bathroom went berserk yesterday, I have to take a fast, speedy shower in the far end of the hall. I then dashed to my cabinet to get my clothes. It didn't matter whatever they will be as I grabbed the nearest ones and put them on.

I seized my bag and went down the stairs, just to see Syaoran sitting on the last step. I sighed and he heard this as he stood up and turned around.

This is so gonna be awkward. I don't know how to face him again after what happened yesterday. "Where's Meilin?" I managed to inquire after a few moments of silence. I didn't look at him. I don't want to look at him.

I saw in my peripheral vision that he wasn't looking at me too. "Went ahead," He mumbled.

"Did you wait for me to drive me again?" Okay, I said it. Honestly, I didn't know I had the guts to do so.

"She asked me to. If it were up to me, I won't." Syaoran opened the door and the cold wind rustled inside. I felt the frigid breeze waft through me as I began shivering. Whoa, why is it so cold? I descended downstairs and looked outside. Oh yeah, winter's coming. Any day now, snow will begin to fall.

My teeth started clattering. Great, I just realized I ended up wearing a sleeveless top in my haste. What idiocy. I soon proceeded to change clothes only to be stopped by Syaoran.

He took hold of my arm. "Here," Syaoran muttered, taking off his varsity jacket. Underneath it, he's wearing a long sleeved green shirt. He then handed the jacket to me with a blank face.

I chuckled lightly. "No, no, it's okay. I'll go get changed," But, when I'm about to go, he halted me once more.

"We're gonna be late. Wear that for the meantime," He replied as he walked to the car.

Sighing, I took the jacket from him and wore it. But he mustn't expect me to wear this the entire day. Even if it does stink of his perfume that smells like cinnamon. Oh, cinnamon. Now I'm getting hungry again.

I followed him to the car slightly shivering still. I slip inside with my arms hugging myself. Brr, is it cold or what? I hope winter this year will be unlike last year's where I almost died from a blasted fever. Blizzard storm was hell, ugh.

The ride to school was again enveloped in silence. None of us dared to speak of what happened yesterday night. Truthfully, I wanted to forget it ever happened. For me, it was Syaoran's way of insulting me, of toying with my feelings, of a girl's feelings. Even if he's all nice to me, which still surprises me, he's a jerk. Enough said.

xXx

I think today was much worse than yesterday's rumors. I swear! Because of my naivety and total stupidity, I just turned it up notches higher than yesterday's without even realizing it. How can I be so dumb? I deserve to get slapped by whoever. Come on, slap me. So, I can wake up from this total nightmare that I'm experiencing.

Remember a while ago that he offered me his jacket? Well, I just realized upon arriving at school, upon receiving glares from girls and murmurs from the student body, that the school's varsity jackets are always issued with surnames of the players on the back. So yeah, that means I'm wearing a jacket with the word 'Li' imprinted on it.

That also means that if a girl is wearing a jock's jacket, she's together with him. For the love of chicken legs, what the fuck have I gotten myself into? And I can't even take off this damn jacket because the temperature here is enough to freeze me in seconds if I do so. If you want proof, I'm still shivering as of the moment. Really, I hate the cold.

So now, the whole school thinks Syaoran and I are an official couple. Which is bad. Real bad. Because, well, for one thing, I've already devoted my undying love for Yukito. Two, I don't like players, literally and figuratively. And last, I loathe, abhor, hate, dislike Syaoran's guts.

When it seems like everything can't go wrong, I saw Ishiyo Reina near my lockers along with her slut minions, Chiaki and Shiori. Reina's the captain of the cheer squad and her skank troops are also cheerers. She has a not-so-secret crush on Syaoran since the fifth grade. Remember our Romeo and Juliet play? She was supposed to be the Juliet until I beat her crappy ass in auditions. She was so furious at me that she called me a slut for Syaoran. Of course, she didn't leave the school without having contact with my fists. Both of them.

Also, Meilin doesn't like her. Maybe that's why Syaoran never hit on her. They have this cousin connection going on even if it's not obvious. This further irritated Reina because she's the only good-looking girl he hadn't dated yet. Except for Meilin and Tomoyo, of course. And one-fourth of the female population, I guess.

So now that I'm seeing her smiling at me, I'm kind of freaked out. Okay, make that totally freaked out. She looks like the bride of Frakenstein when she's trying to be nice with people she dislikes.

I opened my locker like she doesn't exist. "Hi, Saks!" She beamed. I still didn't glance at her. Since when does she call me Saks? She doesn't even know my name.

"So, you're Syaoran's new girl, huh? I mean, judging from his jacket that you're wearing, I'd say you two are now official." I looked at her and I couldn't help but stifle my laugh. God, her eyes are twitching. And her smile is like that of a defected Barbie doll.

I don't know if I should say yes or no. If I said no, which is the absolute truth, I'll be stopping this insane gossip from further spreading until it dies down. Furthermore, I won't be stuck with Syaoran. But if I said yes, I'll have the great and fascinating opportunity of annoying Ishiyo Reina into crying without using my bare strength.

Hm, this is hard.

"Yes," I mumbled blankly.

There I said it. Any consequences from this completely impulsive and stupid action I did, I will willingly accept.

I saw her face went pale and her knees go weak. She almost fainted, haha. Her two sidekicks immediately fanned her into existence once again. That was indeed priceless.

Reina smiled that plastic smile again. Ugh, she can save for a costume in Halloween if she continues smiling like that. "R-Really? Congratulations," And by that she dashed off, Chiaki and Shiori following suit. I could hear her grumbling something like 'stupid bitch' and stuff.

Ha, in your face, blondie!

This doesn't seem too bad, after all.

xXx

"You two are now official?" Tomoyo and Meilin gasped in unison when I arrived at our lunch table.

See? Gossip here about Syaoran spreads mighty fast. Reina and I's confrontation just happened this morning!

"No, 'course not. I just said that to piss Reina off," I said in a low voice, just enough for the three of us to hear. "You know that I hate her,"

"Well, I hate her too. So, I understand." Meilin grinned.

Tomoyo pouted. "And here I thought it was for real,"

"Are you sure of what you're doing, though?" Meilin asked.

I sighed. "Unfortunately, yes. I can't go back on what I said. Reina will just brand me as a loser even more. Not that I care about what she says, I just don't want to let her win. Even if it means doing this,"

"Good point," Meilin replied.

Suddenly, the whole cafeteria fell silent when the basketball team arrived. Headed by Syaoran, of course. They watched as the team stopped in our table. Syaoran stood beside from where I sit. I rolled my eyes. Just maginificent.

"I hear we're now official. Where did that come from?" He whispered, leaning close to my ear.

Oh boy, busted. "Me," I muttered, looking down.

He grabbed my arm and dragged me up to stand. I almost tumbled off by doing so.

"Everybody, listen up." He shouted, drawing the entire student population's attention towards him. "What you people heard were correct,"

Syaoran placed his hand around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him, making me bump lightly against his chest.

"Sakura and I are now an official couple,"

I stared at everyone's shocked expressions, including Tomoyo and Meilin's. Holy shit, I think I swallowed my vomit.

xXx

There you all have it, the fourth chapter. In the next one, I'll explain why Syaoran made the announcement and Yukito will finally have his appearance. :D

Thanks for reading and please review!
