A/N: Well here is next chapter! Hope it's getting interesting if not please let me know and I'll hurry things along! Also if you don't like the formatting let me know as well I can go back and fix that. Hope you enjoy this chapter. The story's going to get more involved and less slow. I'm planning to add a lot of fluff eventually. Since I was late finishing up this chapter I made it special. This time it's a mixture of ExT and SakuSyao But of course I put more into writing about SakuSyao of course! I've decided to twist this story a bit. It's going to be a lot more different than I planned but I think it will make it more exciting. Expect another chapter soon! And hope a longer and more detailed chapter pleases you.

Can one afternoon bring two individual's closer? Maybe, or was it just a slight glimpse of what could be? Nothing is as it seems, but the human mind is capable of many things. Specifically Sakura was capable of more than she could even imagine. When she would find this out, isn't soon enough. But first, she had to find out her own opinion of Syaoran.

:.:Sakura's unfinished puzzle:.:

Sakura wasn't sure why but today wasn't what she had expected it to be. She thought that tutoring Syaoran would be horrible and annoying. However…it wasn't like that at all. In fact she enjoyed helping him. What was it that made her suddenly feel so comfortable around him? To Sakura it didn't really make sense. Though this didn't mean she wasn't going to stop using him as a slave. Oh she had just gotten started!

She sat at the table and watched Syaoran try to figure out what to make for lunch. He kept opening the cabinets then when he couldn't find what he was looking for he turned around and glared at her.

"Oh you can find it yourself~ don't mind me I'm just going to sit here and look pretty." she said with a smirk. Sakura had told him she wanted something amazing, preferably not a sandwich. Syaoran sighed in annoyance but didn't complain. Sakura thought that this was unusual too. 'Seems like he's a good boy and keeps his promises. I wonder why he is acting…nicer? Is he trying to mess with me? I sure honestly hope not. ' She thought resting her chin on her hand. 'He could suddenly just throw something at me. Then I could fall back unconscious and he would be laughing hysterically while trying to take advantage of my state and try to write all over my face.'

"Hey." A voice interrupted her thoughts. Sakura tried to annoy the voice but the owner sure wouldn't let her.

"Kinomoto." Syaoran repeated again. 'I'm just going to stare out the window right now Li. Nope you can find it yourself uh huh yeah I'm serious. 'She thought grinning in her subconscious.

"….Sakura." he said plainly and flicked her on the nose. Sakura quickly clasped her hands over her nose while blushing profusely. He was leaning in really close to face. She could just see those amber eyes glisten and shine. "Hoeeee." she uttered in a whisper. Sakura realized she was staring then mentally slapped herself. 'What the heck am I thinking.'

"What was that for!" she huffed, about 20 seconds after he flicked her. Syaoran just smiled at her in amusement.

"That saying of yours is really weird." He said with a slight laugh. "Uh….you mean you heard that?" she blushed even more. Syaoran nodded with a smirk and Sakura sunk back into her chair. She decided to look out the window in an attempt to escape. It didn't work.

Syaoran looked out the window as well and still had an amused grin. "Were you just staring out the window so I would get the hint you weren't ever going to help me?" he asked looking back at her. 'How come he's so smart? Or…is it that I'm too obvious. Let's hope it's the first option.' Sakura thought with a gulp. Syaoran crossed his arms and waited for her response. She nervously looked up at him then down at her feet until she thought up an excuse.

"No-no! Of course not!" Sakura stuttered at first. "I saw uh the clouds moving and got lost in a daydream about my crush." She gave him a nervous laugh and gripped the sides of her chair tightly. She inwardly hoped he would believe her and just walk away.

Though she didn't get the reaction I was hoping for. Syaoran tilted his head to the side and gave her a questioning look. "You like someone? You?" he asked in disbelief.

'Wait a second what is that supposed to mean?!' she thought, her cheeks now red with anger more so than embarrassment.

"What's wrong with me liking someone huh?" she huffed crossing her arms and giving him a glare just like usual. Looks like it is back to the way it was. It was kind of nice while it lasted.

"Well nothing really. Just you didn't seem like you were interested in anyone." He said with a shrug then walked back into the kitchen.

"Wait how could you tell if I was or wasn't?"She asked perplexed.

Syaoran stopped walking then turned around. "Well just you know, girls usually giggle and like give the eyes and um…kind of look all dazed." He pondered rubbing the back of his neck. "Least that's what all the girls in class do. Guess you're more secretive. Least you're not a giggly, bubbly, a flirt, and annoying all at the same time. You're just weird." He said genuinely.

Sakura knew that Syaoran was pretty much right. She wasn't interested in anyone at all, not since her first crush that lasted 7 years. She had confessed to Yukito at her 5th grade school festival. In response he told her that she will always be like a little sister to him, nothing more, and nothing less. She's gotten over it of course.

"Thanks for the complement." she said sarcastically, averting her gaze to the window once again. Syaoran looked at her emotionless then shrugged. He continued to walk over to the cabinets then opened them all and started to take out ingredients. Hearing the scuffling sound Sakura started to get curious over what he was going to make. 'I don't even know if he's a good cook. I hope this wasn't a bad idea.' She thought with a sigh.

"Tomoyo-chan…why is it that we here again? I know you get worried about her. But is it really necessary to film her?" Eriol asked his raven haired beauty.

Tomoyo just sighed and held a hand up to her face. She had a dazed look and a glimmer in her eyes. "Sakura-chan is so beautiful! I mean the longing look she had on her face just then was just breath taking! She really has a wonderful atmosphere about her! How can I not film her! Sakura is just Sakura!" she said enthusiastically.

Eriol sighed. He knew when Tomoyo had dragged him here that it was for only one reason. He had hoped it was for her to help Sakura get together with Syaoran. He certainly would like that better actually. However this was not the case, Tomoyo had wanted just to come and spy on her "dear Sakura." The two had been sitting up in the tree to watch them from afar, while Sakura was tutoring. Now the two were hiding in a bush right in front of the kitchen window.

"She's so cute." Tomoyo whispered looking through the lens at Sakura. She was still staring off into the distance, not noticing her spies hiding in the bush. Her emerald eyes had a longing look in them. Eriol guessed that she must be daydreaming again. He smiled slightly for he knew what that daydream was. His smile hinted something. What that is, only he knew, for what he had in mind was more than just simply finding Sakura a boyfriend. Though, he mainly just wanted her to get one so she would stop ruining his alone time with Tomoyo.

"Sakura really is annoying and a nuisance at times." He said in a whisper. Tomoyo turned to look at him and he just looked away as if he said nothing.

~.x.x.x.~

Syaoran had finished making lunch and set Sakura's plate down next to her. Sakura turned her attention back to him and looked at him shocked. "You're done already?"

"Uh huh, I made Dim Sum since you had all the ingredients to make it. I didn't just make it because it's my favorite dish if that's what you're thinking. "He smiled at her. Sakura glared at him sensing he was lying but she decided to blow it off.

Sakura picked up her fork while Syaoran grabbed his plate and sat next to her. Sakura blushed slightly at the closeness but soon realized he was not worth it.' He may be a guy, and attractive one at that, but he's not worth my time.' She thought holding her head high. Sakura picked up her fork and looked down at her plate. It certainly did look good, and well prepared. She took a bite and realized that she worried for nothing. Syaoran did seem to be a good cook. She smiled slightly and decided to not give Syaoran the satisfaction of her saying it was good.

"Hey Kinomoto?" Syaoran asked suddenly.

Sakura turned to him and looked at him confused, thinking, "Why is he talking to me now?"

"I was wondering, about where your father was…that's all. I saw pictures of you two on the wall." He asked staring back at her with the same expression.

"Oh my father's on an Archeological dig right now. He's supposed to come back today or tomorrow. He also teaches at the university, so mainly it's just me at home since Touya bought an apartment near his University. He tries to fix me breakfast and dinner when Dad's not home though." She explained taking another bite. "I get lonely but least I have Tomoyo-chan." She said with her mouth full. Syaoran tried not to laugh at her childlike personality.

Meanwhile outside the other two were still watching their friends. Eriol noticed they were now having lunch and figured that this was the perfect opportunity to cause chaos. After all he did have a plan and also had his own reasons for wanting Sakura and Syaoran together. He smirked and looked over at Tomoyo who was filming Sakura intently. He took his chance and with a point of his finger his mischief had begun.

Syaoran noticed his glass of water move slightly as if it was about to tip over. He decided that it was just his imagination and continued to watch Sakura enjoy his cooking out of the corner of his eye. He smirked inwardly at his success. Maybe with this he could gain enough points for Sakura to tutor him for free.

Eriol then with his finger tapped to the left. He then smirked and watched his plan take place.

Then in the blink of an eye the glass of water flew at Sakura and drenched her with it. Sakura gasped after being hit by the cold water and growled realizing it could only be one person's doing. She turned to Syaoran with her eyes burning with resentment and rage. Syaoran shook his head quickly in protest that he didn't do anything.

"Kyaa! Sakura-chan! Oh no! That's also the outfit I made for her!" Tomoyo gasped but still kept filming without hesitation. Eriol felt bad what he had to do, but this was all a part of his plan. He had predicted Sakura's next move and hoped she would follow through.

"Honestly Kinomoto! I promise I didn't do anything the glass just moved by itself-" he started to say then Sakura poured her water all over him. So now Syaoran was drenched and really couldn't explain to Sakura that he sensed something unnatural was behind this. He realized Sakura was dead set on believing it was his fault.

Syaoran got pretty mad about this and glared at her. "Kinomoto that was uncalled for I told you I didn't do anything." He told her seriously.

Sakura smugly smirked at him then took his plate and shoved it in his face. Syaoran tried not to let it anger him he just whipped it off and stood back up and headed for the door. "I can't deal with this. I made your lunch and we're done with tutoring for the day. I'm leaving." He said plainly and walked towards the door.

"Oh no! He's leaving! This is not good Eri-kun!" Tomoyo explained. " They're out of my shot! Let's move!" she declared and grabbed him by the collar rushing to the bush closer to the door. She was able to get a slight look at what was going on through the window next to it.

Syaoran had slipped on his shoes while Sakura stood behind him. She felt kind of bad about what she did and said softly to him. "Sorry."

Syaoran sighed and turned around to face her. "It's fine. Do you realize I wasn't lying?" he asked.

Sakura shook her head but did not dare to look at him. She didn't know why but she felt has if something came over her and she didn't want him to leave. Of course she was mad but she felt if he left they wouldn't be on good terms on Monday.

Syaoran sighed and started to walk away. "Wait!" she called out to him. This shocked Syaoran but he turned around and stared into her emerald eyes. He didn't understand why but she seemed like she was looking into his soul. It was….almost creepy but in a good way? Syaoran, he just was confused.

"Um…stay here for a second!" Sakura rushed into the other room and came back holding something. Syaoran stared at her hand while she approached him.

"Here." She held her hand out to him. Syaoran took the hint and opened his hand and held it out to her as well. Sakura dropped in his hand a small, nicely wrapped candy. Syaoran sweat dropped and looked up at Sakura as if she was insane.

Sakura cleared her throat. "It's an apology present. I'll see you at school on Monday Li. " she nodded then opened the door for him. " Thank you for the Lunch…it was good….sorry I shoved it in your face. " She choked out. It took a lot for Sakura to say that and Syaoran wondered why she seemed so nice. It creped him out a bit so he thought it would be a good idea for him to leave. He sighed and patted her on the shoulder.

"It's okay Sakura. I know you're just a little monster." He said with a smirk then walked out the door and smiled waving at her while she slammed the door in his face. She was furious! How could he find out that her brother called her that! 'Oh…wait….Touya shouted at us before we left and called me that….stupid Onii-chan.' she thought with a huff. Sakura then walked back into the kitchen to clean up. She knew that this was sure going to take at least until her father got back home.

"Sakura was so cool! I mean I had no idea she had the potential to do something like that!" Tomoyo said dramatically. " Oh my dear Sakura-chan you are simply amazing!" she sparkled. "Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! If only Sakura had been wearing something more suitable! Oh I can just see it! She should have been wearing a black dress and Li-kun a black suit! It'd look more like a lovers' quarrel!" Tomoyo continued, she had stood up and begun gesturing dramatically. Syaoran had noticed her and was gaping. Tomoyo locked eyes with him and smiled.

"Bye Li-kun!" she waved. Eriol quickly pushed her back down making sure to not let Syaoran see them.

Syaoran did see them however, how could he not miss Tomoyo's dramatic speech? He instantly knew those two were spying on them but didn't let it get to him. In the end Syaoran was exhausted and really hoped that his tutoring session would go better next time.

In the end the two spies were discovered, but not by the clueless Sakura.

Well this is the end of this chapter! I am so glad I was able to finish it! I hope to update more quickly but with me you never know. I'm a student, I have essays, lots of tests, I go to the hospital often, and sometimes am lazy.

I never have writer's block anymore, the problem with me is that I sometimes don't sit down to take the time to write! Hope you all forgive me for that and continue to read my story.

P.S. I'm starting a new story! The chapter is almost finished so expect it posted soon after this one! Check my page if you would like to read it. It's a continuation of CCS. I originally wrote Remember our Promise the same way. This one is a lot different and I don't think any OCs will be added at all. I'm really excited about both these stories and I hope to update weekly if I can.

Reviews are very much appreciated! I love to know if you read my story and enjoy it. Please forgive me for any errors. I don't have an editor right now. My beta-reader is still working on her own schoolwork.

Happy Holiday's everyone! And Merry Christmas.
