Hi everyone!

So here is chapter seven! I hope you'll enjoy it and you can review if you want ;)

Also feel free to correct any mistakes I have made. :)

Rumours spread pretty quickly that Syaoran and Sakura were a couple. An 'item', many called them. This only brought more red faced Syaoran occasions and plenty of awkward and embarrassing conversations for Sakura. She really didn't mind though.

Since that first date, they finally decided that becoming a couple, would be a good thing and had since been spotted by many, holding hands. It's not that spectacular…just holding hands…but even so, Tomoyo took quite the advantage of every moment.

Until, another problem had been thrown upon her. A very interesting boy arrived at school and he had an eye on someone…Tomoyo. Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran quickly befriended the new comer when he arrived and found it particularly easy to joke around and officially become friends with him. Though, the more time they spent with him, it became progressively obvious that he liked Tomoyo and Sakura made sure she knew it. Finally, it was her turn to find anything to tease her best friend about and she did not miss one opportunity.

"Come on Tomoyo…he is so sweet and unbelievably, head over heels for you!"

"I know but…what if he spends time alone with me and then decides he doesn't like me?"

Oh for god's sake. Double date. Coffee store. Saturday."

"But…"

"No buts! It. Will. Be. Great!"

"I'll call Eriol then…"

Tomoyo sat nervously next to Eriol as Sakura and Syaoran devilishly smiled back. Syaoran was in on Sakura's plan just as much as Sakura herself and she soon felt like she had two evil cupids as friends. It then became habit for her to study her hands as if they were the most interesting and fascinating thing in the whole world, while sitting in silence. What a great date this was turning out to be!

Finally, to break a little tension, the coffee's arrived and was handed out to the four friends, but, that only scored two seconds of relief. When the waitress left with a smile, everyone went back to their positions, though this time, it was Tomoyo's coffee which was so interesting.

'I can at least enjoy this' she thought sighing heavily before bringing the cup to her mouth to take a sip of the hot beverage.

"So you going to kiss her?"

Tomoyo choked abruptly as she turned to Syaoran who wore a straight face, as if she wasn't even there.

'God…remind me to show someone one of his VERY EMBARASSING FILMS!'

Eriol glanced sideways for a moment at Tomoyo before answering simply that it was planned. How they could talk like that around her with suck steady voices and straight faces blew her mind. The only reasonable explanation would be if they were purposely pulling her leg. As she looked towards Sakura for some answers though, she simply received a sweet smile.

And this was going to be the whole date? Fun.

Sakura, feeling bad enough as it is for being the demon version of cupid, suggested going to the beach. There was no way she was going to deal with Tomoyo pointing her round, purple, pleading eyes at her anymore. So the beach became the dates, go to scene.

It was a nice day. The sky was blue and a few fluffy white clouds floated by as the sun beamed down on them. They all thought a good walk to break some sweat before having a wade (no swimmers were brought of course) in the water would be an excellent idea.

There was a cement path, just off the beach which led through some trees and plants, making the perfect scenic and relaxing route for them to take, so…they took it. Of course all was in silence minus the slight crunches of the fallen leaves that littered the path.

All around them trees hugged the path and shrubs covered any other space. After a few minutes of walking they crossed a small, slightly arched, wooden bridge which curved the path slightly to the left and brought the group underneath a shelter of trees. Small specks of light filtered through the leaves and flowers grew all around the trunks of the trees. It was stunning and the smell was amazing.

The path continued along with the same shelter and scene before finally opening up to a clearing, which brought them to the other side of the beach. As they walked to the sand, shoes in hand, they split off into the couple pairs, finally having some time alone.

Sakura linked fingers with Syaoran as they put their feet into the shallow water washing in and out of shore. It was amazing how much foam there was. It was…relaxing.

"I love you Sakura."

A smile played on Sakura's lips as she turned to a blushing Syaoran. Removing his hand from hers he rested it on her cheek, leaning in to brush his lips over her forehead, before re-linking his fingers with hers.

"I love you too."

"I really like you Tomoyo."

"I know."

"So we can be together?"

"Well, we have been for a year…right?"

Eriol smiled before capturing Tomoyo's lips with his. He wrapped his arms around her wait as her hands found the back of his neck. It was quite some time before the couple broke their kiss off to catch their breath as the water rushed to shore and over their feet.

"I've missed you Eriol."

"And me you."

"Hey, love birds! You seen Sakura?" Syaoran ran towards what seemed like another make out session between his friends. Tomoyo's worried eyes looked at him as her face turned into confusion.

"Wasn't she with you?"

"Yeah but she left for the bathroom and hasn't been back since. I was going got call her but I left my phone at home and I can't exactly barge into the girls toilets."

Tomoyo's eyebrows furrowed as she fished for her phone, "You call her and I'll check the toilets. I'll meet you here."

Syaoran nodded as he searched for Sakura's name in Tomoyo's contacts and Eriol and Tomoyo headed in the direction of the toilets. Finally, coming across her name, he pressed call and eagerly awaited her response.

-Ring-
-Ring-

Syaoran started to pace slowly in a circle on the spot he was told to wait.

-Ring-
-Ring-

His eyebrows furrowed as he impatiently waited for a response and his pacing slightly sped up.

-Ring-
-Ring-
-Ring-
-Ring-
-This number is unavailable. If you wou-

Syaoran shut the phone off and kicked some sand in irritation. Looking in the distance he saw Eriol and Tomoyo approaching…with no Sakura.

"Shit."

"I couldn't find her in the toilets. Surely she wouldn't have wandered off without us."

"That's what I though…I'll call her again."

Syaoran quickly pressed redial, bringing the phone to his ear once more, praying to god that she would answer.

-Ring-
-Ring-
-Ri- "Hello?"

"Sakura? WHERE ARE YOU!? I"VE BEEN WORRIED SI-"

"Give me that you slut."

Syaoran froze as a gruff voice entered the background and a blood curdling scream erupted from the phone.

"S-sakura? SAKURA!"

…..Help

Well there we go people! Chapter seven ALL done and you didn't even have to wait for like…a year :\ (Sorry 'bout that!)

Just for some information! I have updated this pretty quickly (about 1 week) and I hope to get chapter eight out on Sunday as well (Australian Sunday btw – around a week away). Though I can't promise anything. After next Sunday I'm back to school (been on holidays) and I already have about 4 assignments due on the first week back so chapter eight might be hard to get out too.

Also, the beach walk was all based on a short walk that I went on while at the SUNSHINE COAST! It is all quite true and the beach was beautiful too so that's where that scene was inspired from.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and review if you'd like (it would be greatly appreciated since it helps me with improving my story! 3). Thanks to those who have reviewed and read each chapter even after my long holiday from writing. You guys are amazing and you motivate me so much!

I have a plan written out for this story which makes this story (in total) 12 chapters but we'll see how it goes.

Sorry this was long winded but still I hope you enjoyed!
