The Date

            Sakura woke up to the sunny morning [Amethyst-Eyes: No birds chirping…teehee] and took a long yawn and dragged herself out of bed and into the shower. [Amethyst-Eyes: Too many ands? Hehe.]

            Downstairs in the kitchen were Tomoyo and Eriol in deep discussion while the maid was making bacon and eggs for breakfast.

"Do you really think Sakura is in love?" Tomoyo asked forming some stars in her eyes.

"But wouldn't it get in the way of her career?" Eriol protested.

"I don't know, but when I checked on Sakura-chan she seemed deep in thought and said that she needed rest and so did I" Tomoyo saddened a little, worried for her best friend.

"Wonder what is wrong with her" Eriol pondered with his index finger on his chin.

"So do I"

"Ohayo!" Sakura exclaimed cheerfully as she took a seat at the kitchen table.

"Ohayo!" Eriol and Tomoyo greeted happily.

"Ohayo, Miss Kinomoto, I am serving bacon and eggs, would you like some?" The maid smiled as she was cooking the bacon.

"Sure, that would be great!" Sakura smiled to the maid.

Well their kitchen, Sakura wanted a more homey-cozy-bright-type of look. It had yellow walls with a nice wooden table in the middle. It had windows that let the sunshine in to show the beautiful day.

"So Sakura-chan, what are you doing today?" Tomoyo asked… "Since you have the day off" She concluded.

"Well I though I might laze around, and tonight…well" Sakura hesitated.

"You?" Eriol and Tomoyo both asked trying to see what she might say.

"I am going on a business dinner with the reporter, Li Syaoran" Sakura stated with a smile on her face while sipping her coffee. She always needed coffee. One thing any citizen can't live without.

"Syaoran Li, the cute boy?" Tomoyo raised an eyebrow. Her first even for business…dinner with a man!

Sakura blushed at that.

"So what if I think he is cute" Sakura blushed more after hearing what she said.

"Oh ho ho so you think of it as a date?" Eriol leaned in closer to her with an eyebrow raised.

"N-no nothing like that" Sakura blushed and waved her hands in front of herself.

"Would you want it to be?" Tomoyo smiled evilly to her wanting her to say 'yes'

"Y-yeah, I guess, if he wanted it to be" Sakura blushed more.

"OH HO HO HO HO HO HO!!!!" Tomoyo laughed as the plates of food were being served.

"Do you love him?" Eriol took a bite of his bacon.

"I-I don't know" Sakura looked down at her plate of food.

"I-I have to go!" Sakura rushed out the front door and left.

"Uh oh" Tomoyo looked at the door.

"Hai, uh oh….indeed" Eriol took another bite of bacon.

***********

Sakura was walking around in the park just muddled in her own thoughts of what Eriol said about Syaoran.

"Do you love him?"

Did she really? Yeah he was cute, smart, nice…and a lot of other things but does she love him or just have some infatuation thing over him…She kept thinking about this when she started to sing her feelings out.

You never leave my mind

When I see you, you look so kind

I think I love you

But how should I know

I think I don't

But do I really?

You never leave

This little mind of mine

You will always be in my heart

(Chorus)

Where are you?

Is all I want to know

You…

Is what I am longing for

But wait no this can't be love

For love can't set you free….

She finished as she looked up at the sky in longing thinking of that cute amber-haired reporter man…[Just so you know, if you are thinking that like she is out…without anyone noticing her…well she has bodyguards all around...so that is why no one is near her…thought I should just let you know ^.~]

"Syaoran…" She sighed…She should be getting back home. Just then as she was about to leave a cute blue-haired girl ran up to her passing all the guards. The guards were about to yell when she gave them the "stop" look.

"Can I have your autograph...Miss Kinomoto" The girl asked in such a cute voice you couldn't say "no"

"Sure here…" She wrote it down and smiled to her.

"ARIGATO!!" The little girl hugged Sakura and ran off. Sakura smiled at the innocent child.

"Alright let's go" Sakura said as the guards led her to her limousine.

It was about 5:30 and Tomoyo was helping Sakura with her outfit. It was a forest green velvet dress that reached her mid-ankle. It had real diamonds on the sides with a slit going up the right side all the way up to the knee. Her hair was in a bun with little curls falling out of the top. Some strands fell to the sides of her cheeks complimenting her face perfectly. She had pink lip gloss on with light green eye shadow making her look like a goddess.

"Oh so pretty, Sakura-chan!!" Tomoyo squealed while Sakura blushed.

"Arigato"

"I know Li-san will love it!!" Sakura blushed hard when Tomoyo said that. Just then Eriol came through the door.

"Wow you look beautiful Sakura-chan" Eriol was awed by her beauty. Syaoran definitely deserved her.

"Arigato"

"Oh and just to tell you, Li-san is here" Eriol pointed to the door and outside the window to the silver convertible.

"Oh oh!...WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!!!!!!" Sakura ran down stairs, yelled good bye to her friends and ran out the door to meet him.

"Hello Miss Kinomoto" Syaoran bowed.

"Konbanwa, you can call me Sakura, Li-san" Sakura smiled.

"Call me Syaoran then" He smiled back and Sakura blushed.

Tomoyo was squealing around the room watching the two while Eriol was happy for the two but sweat-dropping at Tomoyo.

Syaoran lead her to the car and they drove off leaving a squealing Tomoyo and a sweat-dropping Eriol.

"So where are we going" Sakura thought Syaoran was just too cute! She blushed and turned away as she asked the question.

"Rose De Clair" Syaoran answered back. He heard it was a famous yet expensive but a nice restaurant.

"Wow!" Sakura smiled at him. Syaoran thought she was the living reincarnation of a goddess. She was so beautiful; too bad she would never be his.

"Well here we are" Syaoran exclaimed.

"Cool…This is place is so cool!" Sakura squealed as Syaoran smiled at her in response to her cuteness.

"Let's go" Syaoran took her hand while Sakura blushed but followed along.

When they got in, everyone stared at Sakura as they got in and as they were seated. They couldn't believe a celebrity was here…but who was the guy?

"Well…everyone is staring at us" Syaoran looked around at everyone looking at…..Sakura.

"Oh well, waiter…I would like this" Sakura pointed to something on the menu as Syaoran did the same.

"So…here are your questions" He smiled to her.

"Ready?"

"Hai"

"Alright…what type of songs do you make?"

"Love"

"For what audience"

"Any but mostly older" Sakura smiled at him, again Syaoran melted inside.

"Uhm…oh here is our food" They smiled to the waiter as he set down their food.

"Now where were we?" Sakura took a bite and made "mm" sound.

"Well…are you in love with anyone at the moment?" Syaoran gulped at the question.

What would she say? She obviously was…but what would she say?

"Uhh Maybe" Sakura smiled as Syaoran sighed half-relief and half-well not.

"What movies have you starred in?"

"Love Scene II, All You Need, and Promise Ring" [I don't think these are movies…At least I hope not!]

"Wow" Syaoran was amazed. She must be a good actress.

"Uh what time is it?" Sakura asked with a blush.

"11:00" [ Yeah yeah, I just didn't want to write on their date for so long, ya know, so just pretend it is like 5 hours later…hehe]

"Wow!" Sakura was amazed at how fast time went by. Of course she was having such a good time with him and everything.

"Yeah, I think that is good for tonight and the food was really nice" Syaoran smiled to her and shook her hand.

"Hai, I would love to do this again with you sometime" She gave him a hug. Syaoran blushed really red. Red. Red red.

"Hai, let's go" They left together and Sakura kissed his cheek and waved good bye to him.

"I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!" Sakura blew a kiss in the air to him.

"HAI!!" Syaoran yelled still too shocked from that kiss. He definitely was love sick for her. He would do anything to get her.

When Sakura got in the house she sighed. She really likes him. To put it frankly she was in love with him. She sighed a love-sigh and ran upstairs to go to sleep. It was late so Tomoyo and Eriol were in bed. She smiled to herself and sang quietly.

I love you

Can't you see

I need you

Please pick me

I can't go to sleep

Without you….

"Oh Syaoran" Finally Sakura went to sleep. And the night wore on. The world was silent.

Morning came…silent and peaceful.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nevermind that.

Syaoran screamed as he read the morning paper, front page, top headline, in big bold black letters:

"Kinomoto Sakura is in Love with a Reporter?"
