Silver Blaze: Sorry for the lateness. I lost the booklet the story was written down on, but I found it, so don't worry. So here goes.

Oh, yeah thank you for all the reviews, i'm up to 23, I didn't think i'd get so many reviews in just one chapter.

Lovers in the Shadows

Chapter 5

Sakura used her brakes and stopped. She turned red under her helmet; Syaoran was outside on the porch watching her every move. She removed her helmet and looked at him. He was smiling; it was the first time she saw him do so. She sighed dreamily and wished he had done it sooner.

She put the kickstand down and put the helmet on the handle. And then walked up to him. As she came closer she saw his kindness in his eyes.

"Hi, I'm Sakura, but my gang name is Cherry Blossom," Sakura smiled. "But everyone has different names for me."

"...Hi...I'm Li Syaoran," he said shyly.

Silence carried the conversation to nothing. A breeze started to blow, making Sakura's hair magically blow in the wind, as did Syaoran's long messy locks.

"So your gang's name going to be Wolf," Sakura said. "You getting a Wolf Tattoo right?"

"Yeah..." he said a little red.

"You did a great job at my part of the try out. You knew so much about the bikes," Sakura said.

"Just a fan," he replied.

"How about a private lesson, or do you already know how to drive too, but never told me," Sakura joked.

She winked at him. The girls always told her she was a good flirter. She was starting to believe them.

"I...ahh...think I should find my cousin," Syaoran said.

"He's in a private meeting," Sakura smiled a bit waiting for his reaction.

His reaction went the way she had expected it would. He turned to her looking for maybe the fact that she was lying. He found no such thing.

"I know Eriol very well. We went to school together. I always knew he had a thing for my friend, and she had a thing for him," Sakura explained.

"So that's who he said was in love with," Syaoran said.

"I'm going to take my bike back to the garage," Sakura smiled walking off the porch to her bike.

"You're a baka, baka you were suppose to get a real conversation going," Syaoran growled to himself.

*&*&*

Sakura typed something up on the computer. She couldn't use the one in her room because Eriol and Tomoyo were still in there. "Talk about long sex," Sakura thought. (The lemon with E+T is one of the unedited version chapters)

She was in Naoko's room using her computer. The calendar to what take over would take place and when the parties would take place. Tomoyo of course did the planing.

"Let's see...next week party at the beach, 11:30 AM to 10:30, then either go home or go to SkyScraper," Sakura said.

"Beach Party! Sky Scraper! Wow I can't wait," Naoko cheered. "What about dare or Else?"

"I hate that game, it's gross," Sakura gagged.

"Well it could be a romantic moment for you and Syaoran," Naoko laughed.

"Yeah right, last time we played Xu tried to get down with Ryou as and else. Then he either had to do the else or go and kiss her," Sakura said. "He told me he never wanted to go 40 feet within her, for what she did to him a few years before."

"It won't be like that, I promise," Naoko said.

"You play. I watch," Sakura sighed.

*&*&

"THIS FUCKING HURTS," Syaoran said as a needle played inside his skin moving ink around in his skin making a pattern.

"Your crazy. It doesn't hurt," Eriol smirked.

"Baka," Syaoran said.

"There all done," Fin said.

Syaoran grabbed his shirt and put it on. He couldn't stand the tattoo, but the fact that Xu won't stop staring at him or hang off him.

"Oh Syaoran, you were SO much braver than I was," Xu said in a flirty voice.

"I don't care. Leave me alone," Syaoran growled.

He walked out of the living room in a hurry not even realizing that Sakura was also walking in his direction. She was reading a magazine called Pleasures. (I made it up) Soon they crashed into one other. Sakura fell to the floor and looked up blushing to a beet.

"Sorry Syaoran, I didn't see you," Sakura replied.

"No it was my fault," Syaoran said.

Silence for the second time carried the conversation along, until Sakura broke the death like silence.

"So, you get your tattoo," Sakura asked?

"Yeah," Syaoran said shyly.

"You need to open up more, how about a little game of pool," Sakura smiled. "Or what us girls here call strip pool."

"Are you joking," Syaoran asked shocked?

"Come on, it helps you be less shy," Sakura smiled.

Syaoran thought about it. If he agreed, it could boost his confidence. Maybe he should? He might actually get to know her better. (Her body you mean Syaoran, hehehe)


"Alright, but no other people thought," Syaoran smiled back.

"Great," Sakura cheered.

Sakura grabbed her magazine and smiled at it. The page she had just read said, "A way to get your shy guy to open up better, challenge him to a game that has anything to do with stripping. Example: Strip Poker."

She lead him to the billiard room. Sakura grabbed one of the many different door hanger for there privacy. She put the one that said, "Don't enter when door closed," and put it on the door.

"Okay the rules are, everytime I get a ball in a gutter, you have to take a piece of your clothing off. Same if you get a ball in. And if you get the eight ball in the gutter then you have to take of all your cloths," Sakura smirked.

"Let's get this over with," Syaoran said.

"Alright," she replied passing him his pool stick.

She set the balls up in the rack as Syaoran set the white ball up so it was lined up with the rectangular shape of the balls.

"Ladies first," he offered her.

"Thank you," she said in a sweet voice. 'Your such a gentlemen."

She wasn't much of a pool player, but it was a great social game, and who cared if she lost, the more less shy both of them would be.

She took her aim and broke the balls up, and she got a solid in.

"Your stripe, I'm solid," she smiled. "And I believe it's your turn."

"So it is," Syaoran replied.

He shot but missed because the ball stopped right in front of the pocket. Sakura took her turn and got her solid in. She smiled and blushed a bit as Syaoran took his shirt of. He had a muscle shirt on underneath. None the less though, the muscles that covered his arms were showing making her a bit dizzy.

"Nice shot," he joked.

"You haven't seen nothing yet," she smirked again.

She took her next aim and missed. Syaoran stepped forward and took his aim and this time got that ball that he didn't get in last time in. Sakura unbuttoned her blouse, reveling her slim egg timer shape. ( That's what my mom says, "Woman are usually shaped like egg timers." Corny...but true in a way.) Also reveling her purple bra. Syaoran couldn't face her, he was having a hard enough time trying to hide his red face.

"Nice shot," she giggled.

"Thanks," he said still blushing.

He took his next aim and got another in the pocket, he flushed a much darker shade of pink, or even red. She reached down and took her socks off. He sighed a bit in relief. (A guy not wanting to see a naked girl? Scary, he most be gay) He took another aim and missed.

Sakura smiled and took her next aim. She hit it and got it in the pocket. He flushed as well she did when he took his muscle shirt off. Sakura now became the human Christmas Red light. She was shocked at how the muscles rippled out on his chest.

"Pretty good," Syaoran replied.

"Naturally," Sakura smirked with a big grin.

She took her aim again, shooting another one into the pocket. Syaoran flushed and unbuttoned his pants. And hauled the pants down revealing green boxers.

"Very good," Syaoran blushed a red.

Sakura smiled and took her aim again, but this time missed. Syaoran took his arm and hit one in a pocket. Sakura unbuttoned her jean calm diggers and pulled them down showing her craves and her matching purple underwear. Syaoran tried to shallow the lump in his throat, but only became bigger or so it seemed.

He shook it off and made his next shot hitting it off the side just beside the pocket and missed.

'Nice try, almost got it," Sakura smiled.

She did her aiming and shoot the ball and got it in the pocket. Syaoran sighed a little in relief as he took his socks. Sakura took her aim and shot getting the ball in the pocket. Syaoran's face turned a little purple as he looked down. The only piece of clothing he had left was his boxers. He looked at the ceiling as he pulled his boxers down. (Ahhh!!! My eyes! Can't see! Blinded!)

"Game's over I win. You can pull your boxers back up," Sakura blushed.

He gave her a look of gratitude and pulled his boxers back up. He blushed very much, but in the dimness of the room it hid his blush as well it hid hers.

"So where'd you learn how to play," Syaoran said pulling his jeans up and buttoned them.

"I just play...a lot...a friend played me a lot of games," Sakura said after her calm diggers and shirt and back on.

"I'll have to play them a few games," Syaoran said now fully dressed.

"You'll have to stick with me I'm afraid. The guy I use to play with died," Sakura said sadly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know," Syaoran replied.

"No, it's okay. You'll be a great member of Blood Rush, at biking and pool," she smiled. (I didn't say it before but that is the name of the gang)

"Thanks," Syaoran flushed.

"I got to go," Sakura winked. "See you later."

"Bye," he replied.

*&*&*&*&*&*

"So how'd it go with Syaoran in the billiard room. Hope you didn't have to use the freebreeze," Tomoyo joked.

""No I don't have to use it, unlike you have to use on the whole room," Sakura joked back. "And we played strip pool."

"Oh really. Tell me every detail," Tomoyo said taking out her camcorder.

"Not the camera," Sakura said. "Tomoyo..."
