Annnd here's a new chapter!

If it seemed like a long wait ((it wasn't)) then I apologize-I was working on Chapter 3 of that Teen Titans story. This whole writing 'career' of mine is actually coming around really well, i'm happy!

Alrighty so if you remember, so u dont have to go back to the last chapter, Syaoran is trying to tell Sakura-san something super important and can't get it out. ^^ I wouldn't really count that as a cliffy-we all know what he wants to ask her-but if you do than I truly 'art ebil' arent I?


It was late, early into eleven-thirty when Syaoran suddenly got the incline to call her. Call it boredom of silence, call it infatuation, but whatever it was he knew he had to speak to her.

After all, he hadn't spoken to his girlfriend--the one all the way in Tomoeda--since lunch.

"Syaoran-kun? Do you like when I say it?" Her sweet voice rang through her ears and it sounded neither of tiredness or annoyance, but of anticipation and happiness.

She had waited for his call.

He chuckled over the phone, lying on his back, hands behind his sleep ridden hair, and stared at the ceiling. Imagining the coy smile her thirteen year old face had adapted to. At least according to the last batch of photo's Daidouji had sent.

"Ah. I like it very much, Sakura."

The receiver produced the sound of her sweet giggle. He was more awake now than ever and even feeling such content he couldn't find it in himself to close his eyes.

"Then I'll always say it! Anyway you like of course," she giggled again, teasing him," let's see… aishiteru, daisuki…hmm, Syaoran-koi."

As she talked, he could practically see her counting off those three ways on her dainty, little fingers. Syaoran smiled brightly, feeling the pink rush to his cheeks.

"That's how I'll great you from now on!" Her voice bounced, he could assume she was jumping on her bed in sheer excitement.

"I remember Wei telling me, if you tell the number one person you find that you love them to much, it'll lose its magic."

Her silence was one he knew, one of wonder, of pertaining and processing new information that passed his lips. One that was, of few, his favorite silence to pass between them.

"Hoee? Honto ni?"

"Ah."

"Then I won't say it at all?"

His heart beat sped like a race car.

"N-no need to go that far."

The giggle, of course the 'teasing giggle'. A new one, one perk of many that came along with Sakura's thirteenth year.

"School tomorrow, Syaoran-kun. You should get some sleep."

"Same goes to you, Sakura."

"I know," her giggle, than her yawn," I know…"

"Aishiteru."

"I've said it to much, probably, so I'll just say goodnight this time Syaoran-kun."

The phone clicked off with her giggle, and Syaoran smirked as he laid the phone on the charger atop his dresser.

Teasing. Quite an interesting trait to befall his Sakura.


It was strange that at this particular moment that memory decided to surface as he looked at Sakura's ever puzzled face.

"Sakura-koi. Aishiteru, daisuki."

Enticing that giggle from her lips just as he'd hoped made Syaoran gain the boost of confidence he needed to finally click open the slender box to reveal the jewelry placed delicately in the center.

Sakura's eyes widened, rivaling there already innocent size as they stared at the ring. Syaoran cleared his throat before bending down on one knee.

"Sakura. To me, engagement rings symbolize the beginning of a life long commitment to the woman of my dreams. It always has. You once told me your mother wore a three stone ring, and I never forgot that. This represents the past, present, and future of our lives together."

Slowly he slipped the ring from the package and placed it onto her finger, two ideal cut green emeralds on the side and an excellent cut of a pink, heart shaped diamond in the middle.

"The lives that I plan too offer my love into, if you'll let me. Will you accept this last gift? Will you marry me?" His eyes implored her own. Tears rolled down her cheek, and he couldn't help to think that even if she rejected, he'd always find the beauty in this night by thinking back to the breath-taking look of her face as her lips pouted out, her cheeks raised with crimson and her eyes clouded over with love.

Sakura brought the ring up to her heart and stroked its silver band, making sure the chill was there, making sure it was real.

She fell to her knees and embraced Syaoran around his waist tightly. The dream couldn't end, she'd never allow it.

"Of course," she mumbled into his chest, "Nothing would possibly make me happier than to accept! Daisuke, Aishiteru, I love you Syaoran!"

A loud cheer was heard, but nothing could rival the racing of Syaoran's heartbeat in his ears. It was so up roaring Sakura might have heard it as well had not the same be happening to her own heart.

Syaoran hugged her soundly around the shoulders, no longer having enough energy to remain in his kneeling position and collapsed onto his backside, letting Sakura fall into his lap.

He felt her soft lips grace his cheek over and over again and the remains of tears as she did so.

The dream became this wonderful reality.

"Told you I saved the best for last." He whispered in her hair, and when Sakura looked into his eyes with all her love in the world, he couldn't resist the urge to indulge in her kiss.

Their first kiss as the future Syaoran and Sakura Li.
