REVIEW!

The faster that you guys review, the faster I'll update: P

"Sa- sa- sa - Sakura-chan…" Tomoyo trembled.

Sakura broke apart and quickly glanced at Tomoyo and Eriol nervously, "gomen-nasi, I'll see you guys later,"

Sakura started running away, not glancing once back at them.

"Well, it looks like you're going to win the bet," muttered Eriol.

"I'll go after her, you guys can go," Syaoran gave Eriol a glare and ran after Sakura.

"Yeah," Tomoyo said after Syaoran was gone. "And it looks like not only Sakura is going to be hurt when she finds out about the bet…"

"Yeah, that's true, or he might just forget about the bet…" muttered Eriol.

"Really?"

"No, but let's just hope Syaoran doesn't screw this up…" muttered Sakura.

Sakura…

'I can't believe it! I can't believe I kissed Syaoran…what the hell was I thinking!' Sakura thought as she sat on the swing near Tokyo University. She could see Tokyo University clearly where she was sitting.

"What are you doing here?" Syaoran asked, walking towards where Sakura was sitting. He walked up to Sakura and sat on the swing besides her.

"Nothing," replied Sakura as she started swinging lightly.

"Oh," Syaoran said. She had just kissed him. Shouldn't he be making a move?

"Gomen ne," Sakura said softly.

"Nani?" Syaoran said.

"What I mean is that I'm sorry, for kissing you," replied Sakura.

"I don't mind," Syaoran said.

"I, well, you see, I, well, I don't know what came over me," confessed Sakura.

"It's okay, I don't mind," repeated Syaoran.

"It's just that I got used to you and it's showing that I'm beginning to like you…" continued Sakura like she didn't hear Syaoran.

Syaoran looked at Sakura and noticed that she was beginning to blush. Syaoran smiled; he leaned over and kissed Sakura on the cheek.

Sakura turned over and looked at Syaoran carefully. Syaoran was almost completely sure that he was going to get either kicked or punched. Instead, Sakura leaned over and kissed Syaoran fully on the lips.

"Wow…" Syaoran said. "Didn't expect that either,"

Sakura smiled and said, "You should expect a lot of surprises, Syaoran-kun."

"You called me Syaoran…" said Syaoran eyes wide.

"Well, I've decided that I shouldn't hide my feelings anymore," explained Sakura. She smiled and kissed Syaoran on the cheek. "Truth is, I was probably attracted to you earlier, but another part of me tells me to stop being attracted to you. The truth is I couldn't…"

Syaoran smiled lightly and kissed Sakura back on the cheek and said, "Do you want to go somewhere? You can choose,"

"What about Tomoyo-chan and Eriol-kun?" asked Sakura. Syaoran took her hand and pulled her off the swing set.

"They're probably already gone," Syaoran said. "I told them that they could leave."

Sakura nodded and followed Syaoran to his car.

"It's starting to become colder," noted Syaoran as he started the car.

Sakura nodded. "Hai, it's almost Christmas too,"

"I know, and a few more weeks until the Tokyo U. Test…" Syaoran said.

"Don't remind me!" groaned Sakura.

"But you still have a couple weeks before the real test," Syaoran pointed out.

"That's true, I'll still have to study though…" noted Sakura.

"Right, right," he said as he turned.

One and a Half Week Later…

Over a week, Syaoran and Sakura had gotten closer and closer but as they had gotten closer, the date of the Tokyo U. test was also drawing nearer.

"Hey, Syaoran, do you want to go to the mall?" Sakura asked as she walked over to Syaoran, who was watching television.

"What for?" Syaoran asked, without looking up from his show. "I thought you needed to study, the test is like in a week…"

"Christmas presents…" said Sakura innocently hugging his back. "And I'm taking a break, studying all the time is bad for you!"

"To whom?" he asked.

"You know, you friends, family," said Sakura.

"Do we have to?" he pouted.

"Maybe I'll find something special to give to you…" Sakura said innocently giving him a kiss on his cheek.

"Let's go,"

Mall…

"Let's go to that store!" stated Sakura smiling, pulling Syaoran's arm towards a shop called, 'Twinkle,' the store had stars on the doors and stars on the windows. It was a pet shop where there were many puppies and kittens walking around.

"Why don't you go? I'll be right back; I have something to do…" Syaoran gave Sakura a kiss and walked away. He had all the bags and boxes that Sakura had bought from the stores they had been to.

"Fine," Sakura sighed. She walked in the store and was immediately drawn to the animals that were running around the store.

"Awww…" Sakura cooed as she leaned down, "kawaii-desu!"

"Isn't it?" Sakura turned around and saw Ichigo smiling at her.

"Ichigo-chan!" Sakura said with a smile, "what are you doing here?"

"Well, for Christmas shopping and to relax," explained Ichigo, "I saw you and Syaoran-chan just a while earlier, I was going to come over, but Syaoran left. What about you? What are you doing here? Did you pass the center exam?"

Sakura nodded and said, "Well, same reason as you, relaxing and Christmas shopping."

"In any case, that's such a cute puppy you have there," commented Ichigo.

Sakura bent down and picked the puppy up. He had golden colored fur coat and innocent brown eyes with a small perky tail. "I'm going to take him!"

"Would Syaoran-kun mind?" questioned Ichigo.

"Well, screw him," muttered Sakura, picking the puppy up to her nose and said, "I'm buying him, no matter what that baka says!"

"Wow, you're so sweet to him," Ichigo said sarcastically.

"Aren't I?" Sakura smiled and Ichigo smiled back.

"What are you going to name him?" Ichigo asked.

Sakura pondered for a minute and said to the puppy, "You look like a Kero. Do you want to be a Kero?"

The puppy gave a bark in reply. Sakura laughed and said, "Name's Kero!"

"Kero, Kero, Kero…" Ichigo smiled and continued, "Yep, that's a great name!"

Sakura smiled back and let Kero down on the floor.

Later…

"Syaoran!" Sakura said as she hugged him. They were in the resting place in the mall where a big fountain was behind them. A couple of kids were throwing pennies in the fountains and making wishes. A couple others were trying to get the money that other people had thrown in. She had a big box with a big red ribbon with her and her new little 'surprise' in it to show him.

"What did you get?" Syaoran asked, looking at the box she was holding.

"Shhh, it's a surprise," Sakura said cutely. "Do you want to open it?"

Syaoran looked at her and scanned her over just in case it was a freaky thing that popped out of the box. She was just in the pet shop; it couldn't be possible that she had bought a snake or a fish to scare him…

"Sure…it's not a fish, correct?" he asked.

"Are you afraid of fish?" Sakura teased.

"No, it's just, they freak me out…" Syaoran protested. "I mean, look at them, they have eyes that don't blink, okay, that is so not natural!"

Sakura laughed and said, "It's not a fish, just open it!"

"Fine," Syaoran started untying off the red ribbon.

"You know, I met Ichigo-chan," commented Sakura.

"Really? Where is she now?" Syaoran asked as he finally took off the ribbon.

"She had to leave, she told me to say hi to you." Sakura said, "Said something about her friends and her boyfriend…"

"Oh, what is in this bo- AAAHHHH!" Syaoran jumped back with Kero on his chest. Something fell out of his pocket. It was a small, red box.

"Isn't it cute?" Sakura asked smiling.

"You've got yourself a puppy," commented Syaoran weakly.

"Yep, his name is Kero!" smiled Sakura nodding.

"It's cute, I'll love or I love it as much as I love Suppi…" said Syaoran.

"Eriol-kun's puppy?" Sakura asked, "Liar, you don't love Suppi… Eriol-kun told me so!"

"Sure I do," Syaoran explained, sitting up, "it's just that Suppi hid my car keys and I couldn't really get home…"

"Sure, right," she leaned over and picked up the box next to Syaoran.

"What's in here?" she asked, about to open the box.

"Uh…nothing!" Syaoran snatched away the box from Sakura's hands before she could open it. "It's nothing!"

"Gasp, so mean, don't tell me you're cheating on me already!" Sakura said sarcastically, "tell me! What's in that box?"

"It's nothing!" protested Syaoran.

"Come on!" Sakura gave him a look.

"Fine, it's a Christmas present," confessed Syaoran. "Happy now? You just ruined the surprise, uh, thingy…"

"Whose is it?" asked Sakura excitedly, "is it mine? What's in it?"

"Not telling," Syaoran put a finer on her nose as he stood up with Kero on his shoulder, "aren't you thinking too much, you'll find out on Christmas, won't you?"

"Still," Sakura smiled and kissed him on the lips gently. She then handed him the rest of the bags and boxes she had bought.

"Sugoi, you bought so many," awed Syaoran as he took the boxes which he saw to be a little hard to be holding so many boxes and bags. "Are you done now? Can we go home? O-ne-gai?"

Sakura thought for a second and said, "Sure, I think I'm done shopping,"

"Thank god,"

"For today, I guess we can come back tomorrow or something…" added Sakura and started walking toward the garage where the car was parked.

She heard a clump of bags and boxes fall on the floor behind her. She turned around to see Syaoran staring at her with a pair of wide eyes, "tomorrow!" he wheezed.

"Sure, why not?" Sakura smiled and walked ahead before Syaoran could say anything else.

Next Week…Day before Tokyo University Exam…

"Oh my god, you look horrible…" his voice died down right away as he said horrible once Sakura glared at him, "I mean, beautiful, never seen you more gorgeous and, and, sophisticated! I give you an A-plus, just for looks!" he gave an imaginary pat on the back for saying such a long word, 'sophisticated.'

Sakura glared at him again and said dangerously, "I feel like f-ing crap…" and it was true, she had dark rings under her eyes and her hair was very messy. She had spent yesterday studying her ass off and had not gotten much sleep.

"Kochi, Kochi!' Syaoran said bidding her over. Once Sakura came, he hugged her and said to her, "you're going to have to relax for today, you'll do fine tomorrow!" she nodded in his arms, "get some sleep," she nodded again.

After five minutes of Syaoran watching television, he said to Sakura, "do you want to change the channel?"

There was no answer; he looked down, seeing that Sakura was lightly sleeping on him. He sighed and turned off the television. He lightly and slowly picked her up from his body, careful not to wake her and carried her to his bed.

Just as he had laid her down, his cell phone rang loudly.

"Crap," Syaoran quickly took out his cell phone from the desk and answered it in a whisper, "Moshi moshi,"

"Syaoran, what's with your voice?" a voice rang it his ear. Syaoran groaned. This was not the time for him to be pestering him.

"What the hell do you want Haku?" demanded Syaoran.

"Language," warned Haku with humor in his tone.

"Shut up…" warned Syaoran, "again, what the hell do you want?" Syaoran heard a sigh.

"Here I was, wondering what you were doing, because I'm so thoughtful, and –"

"You're with Meilin, you guys are on a vacation, what do you want to tell me?" Syaoran said, "And I know you didn't just call me for the fun of it. You've been on vacation for awhile and not once did you call me,"

"Fine, fine," Haku gave another annoying sigh just to piss Syaoran off.

"What is it?" Syaoran managed to growl.

"Well, first, I wanted to tell you that I'm coming back in about a week," Haku said. Syaoran knew Haku was smiling at the moment.

"And second, I came to ask you, how's the bet going?"

"Just fine,"

"Ha, I think you haven't even kissed the girl yet!"

"Of course I kissed her, she's on my bed right now," that last part was not intended, but Haku sometimes made him very pissed off, things just slip.

"Ooo, playa!" Syaoran heard laughter on the other side of the phone line.

"Haku, who are you talking to?" Syaoran heard another voice on the line. It was Meilin's.

"You're not cheating on me, are you?" Syaoran could hear the playfulness in Meilin's voice.

"Of course not, it's Syaoran!" Haku said back.

"Syaoran, I'm going to go now, T-T-F-N, ta-ta for now!" Haku said.

"That's tigger's line!" Meilin said.

"Alright, bye,"

"Don't forget about the bet, the way it's going. I'm going to win!" Haku added.

"Look, I'm going to win the bet, hands down," Syaoran said before hanging up the phone.

"What bet?" Sakura asked.

'Oh crap…' Syaoran thought. "Oh, you're awake, sorry, did my call wake you?" Syaoran said, trying to avoid the question.

"What bet?" Sakura repeated.

"Oh, it's just a bet to see who could make the higher score on a test," Syaoran lied, hoping that Sakura would fall for it. 'She's not going to fall for it, I'm dead. She's so not going to believe me, crap, crap, crap,'

"Oh, did you win?" Sakura asked softly with her eyes closed.

"Oh, yah, about to, definitely about to," Syaoran said quietly. "Sorry about waking you up, you can go back to sleep now…"

Sakura slightly needed. Syaoran started walking away but was stopped by Sakura's hand grabbing on the sleeve of his long-sleeved shirt.

"Can you not leave?" Sakura asked softly, her eyes opened just a little, "not yet,"

"Sure," Syaoran agreed.

"Arigatou, Syaoran," Sakura said gratefully.

"No problem," he said back.

"Syaoran?" she said softly, about to fall asleep. He could tell that Sakura was already half-awake and half-asleep.

"Yeah?"

"There's something I want to tell you, well, you see, I, I, I," Sakura said with her eyes closed.

"You can tell me later, you look so exhausted, get some sleep first," interrupted Syaoran.

Sakura nodded, smiled and said, "I'll tell you on Christmas eve then,"

"Sure,"

Sakura closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Syaoran sat next to her until she was deeply asleep. His mind was ninety nine percent on the bet and that one percent was on Sakura. He wondered what Sakura was going to tell him and wondered if he won the bet, would he really be happy?

Without knowing it himself, he also fell asleep on the chair.

Yah, that's the end of that chapter!

Sorry about the incorrect grammar, and maybe some spelling mistakes. I don't read it over mainly because I'm lazy. LOL sorry! Maybe I'll do that later when I have time…

Anyways, thanks for reading!
