A quick summary of last chapter and a quick thanks to the people that reviewed my story!
Slowly, they both entered their own vans.
"Oh my god, Sakura's going to see me in pj's, how embarrassing is this going to be?" he said to no one in particular.
He opened the locker door grudgingly, to be confronted with a mint green dressing gown (not at all tasteful in his opinion). Dark green pj shorts and a dark green male pj vest top with the yin-yang symbol (gold) in the middle. His muscles looked huge; of course it was all from vigorous training.
In the other van, Sakura had found a light pink dressing gown, embroidered with gold stars, a baby pink pj strap top with baby pink shorts. The strap top had a small cherry blossom design stretching up the right side of the top. It was beautiful, even though it was only nightwear.
And now, thanks to these people that reviewed my story!

On with the story!They simultaneously (without knowing obviously) gathered their clothes into a bundle and stepped out of the vans into the fresh night air. Li looked towards Sakura's van, she was looking at his also. He smiled genuinely.
"Lets have a look at yours then!" he practically demanded, in a friendly way however.
"Not until I've got them on- you perv!" she chuckled.
They walked into the house, each grinning secretly to themselves. Madison, observing the two had to change screen.
"What a nuisance…" she mumbled to herself.
Meanwhile;
"Do you want milk and cookies before we go to sleep?"
"Yeah" he replied "and can we watch a movie?"
Sakura's face dropped at the mention of the word 'movie'.
"But you like all the scary ones, the ones with ghosts and monsters and witches…" she trailed off as she let out a shudder.
Li paused for a moment. He spoke.
"How about, if we watch a scary one first, then a really un-scary one? Then when you go to bed, you wont be as scared? Sound good?"
Sakura nodded slowly.
"And besides the point," he continued "you ARE mistress of the Clow cards are you not? AND you've got me!"
Sakura grabbed a pillow off the sofa, threw it at his face (which made the intended contact btw) before sprinting up the stairs and locking herself (including the bundle of clothes) in the bathroom.
Syaoran shook his head and sighed (which made Madison let out a muffled OHOHOHO!).
Li looked through the selection of DVD's that the Kinomoto's possessed. He chose one, put it in the player (it went onto the menu screen). Li left it went out into the kitchen, he poured two large glasses of milk, and spread out some chocolate chip cookies onto a plate.
Sakura upstairs meanwhile, let her aches and pains wash away as the hot water pounded on her body.
"I will not squeeze Li to death when I get scared"
"I will not squeeze Li to death when I get scared"
"I will not squeeze Li to death when I get scared" She whispered over to herself several times.
Downstairs:
"I will not go red when Sakura squeezes me to death."
"I will not go red when Sakura squeezes me to death."
"I will not go red when Sakura squeezes me to death." Li mumbled.
Sakura grudgingly dragged her suddenly heavy body out of the shower. She went into her (very pink) bedroom and changed into her pj's, she put her dressing gown over the top.
Li, when he heard Sakura come out of the bathroom, picked his bundle off the sofa and took it upstairs to the bathroom where he was about to have his own shower.
Sakura waited patiently downstairs for Li to arrive. The hot water turned off. Footsteps could be heard. The sound of deodorant being sprayed came and went just as quickly. A lock was heard clicking open. Footsteps were heard yet again, except this time they were muffled by the carpet, but the sound of something fluffy was heard being dropped on something hard. Presumably, the dressing gown being dropped on Sakura's bedroom floor. (Laminate flooring). The stairs let out an involuntary creek. (Sakura felt slightly embarrassed when she though of the magnificent staircases in the Li mansion…if only). Then Li came.
He walked over to the sofa. He looked magnificent; the pyjamas made his muscles look bigger than they really were. But hey, Sakura wasn't going to complain. He sat down, as if he thought nothing of Sakura's dazed expression. He pressed the play button on the remote.
Crunch, crunch.
Syaoran sighed. "Can you stop biting your nails? The film hasn't even started yet…"
"Its not my fault!" she retorted rather angrily. Li took this as a warning sign, and said no more on the matter.
The film began (it was 13 ghosts-just a random film) Li waited for Sakura to squeeze him to death, to his surprise (and dismay) she didn't.
He stole a glance at her. She was staring hard at a bit of ruffled carpet. Tears were falling from her beautiful, emerald eyes.
Li bit his lip, unsure of what to do. This wasn't supposed to have happened. He made his mind up and pulled Sakura in for a hug. He wrapped her in a tight embrace.
Sakura looked up at him, eyes wide with shock. She was surprised to find him not engrossed in the film, but staring directly into her own eyes. They continued staring for another fie seconds or so, then came the sarcasm from Li.
"Have I got something on my face?"
Sakura pulled away and stormed up the stairs, slamming her bedroom door behind her.
Li cursed aloud.
"DAMN!" he threw a pillow at the telly. "IDIOT. DAMN! You could've just smiled, but noooo…DAMN!"
Sakura sat upstairs on her bed, sobbing quietly to herself.
"Sometimes, the little wolf can be sweet…most of the time he's a prick." She said to herself in between muffled sobs. She cried herself to sleep, after ten minutes or so.
Li, downstairs, was tidying up. He tipped the half drunk milk down the sink, and put the cookies into the cookie jar. He threw their original wrapper away (finally). He sighed, and then lay down on the sofa, without a duvet he fell asleep shivering due to the cold of the late night. He had goose bumps and the fair hairs that covered his arms and legs were standing on end.
Madison in her large (and warm) mansion was sitting contentedly sipping coffee. When she saw what happened she smiled to herself and began chanting the word 'kawaii' several times over to herself. She smiled.
"They're like a married couple-" she stopped before she said the word 'already'.
A thought occurred to her suddenly. It was surprising that she hadn't thought of it before now.
"Wedding outfits!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
She ran out of the camera room, leaving the door to swing back and forth due to the momentum that Madison had put into it. Madison threw herself into her designing room.
A:n/ hehehe…sorry, I meant that the next chapter would be kawaii lol I was going to include it in this one, but I think it works better when I separate it. So hey, you'll just have to wait a while for the next chapter wont ya? Thanks!
