CHAPTER 3: Memories
A/N: Arigato everyone for all the support!!!
*~lllllllllllllllllllllllllll~*
"Hi Li" Sakura said, blushing ever so slightly.
"Hey Sakura...you were really great tonight...I never expected you to play basketball" Li said.
"Well, yea...I guess I just found basketball a lot more fun than cheerleading.." (-and ever since you moved, there's no one to cheer for, so what's the use?-) Sakura thought.
"So how come you're not out there celebrating?" Li asked.
(-Great I see he wants to get rid of me-) "Oh....uhh....I just wanted to say hi since we havent seen each other for so long. What about you? Why are you here all by yourself?" Sakura replied.
"Oh, just thinking....about....YOU know..." (a/n do you ppl get what Im saying?) (-Great, she wants to get rid of me already...I'll leave her to celebrate. Who knows how many guys are out there waiting for her?-) he thought. "Well, I'm gonna go take a walk to the park now so I'll see you okay?"
"Ohh..." (-Now he wants to leave me-) "Hey can I go with you? We have a lot of catching up to do, you know." Sakura was surprised at her own bravery. (-Great, I must look so desperate...*hey why are putting yourself down so low?* her conscious asked. -You know, you DO have a point...-)
"Sure," Li agreed...blushing slightly.
Sakura and Li walked to the park and stopped at the location of the Penguin Slide. They just stood there in absolute silence for about 10 minutes. Memories, good and bad, filled up the minds of the two cardcaptors.
"Sakura?"
"Yes, Li?"
"It's been a long time hasn't it?"
"Yeah..."
"Hey remember that time when..."
They started talking about memories, their feelings back then (except for their love for each other), and their life now for about two hours. They shared a lot of laughter. By then, they were sitting side-by-side on the shore of a crystal-like lake. They enjoyed the scenery for a while, when Sakura broke the silence.
"Li?"
"Yeah?"
"Who's that Rayen girl?" Of course, Sakura knew the answer, but she was hoping...
"Oh.....uh.....she's....my....g-COUSIN!" Li lied "She's a part of the clan...and I had to come over here with her to protect her cuz she's new..." . (-She just had to bring her up...I was having such a good time before I remembered I already have a girlfriend...-)
"ohhhhh.....I see. I thought she was..um...this sounds so stupid. I thought she was your girlfriend." Sakura said blushing. (-Good, so he's still free...Now I have to tell him how I feel.-)
"OF COURSE NOT!!!" Li said, a little on the touchy side. (-augh, what did I get myself into? Why didn't I tell her the truth?-) "So, I'm going to stay here for a while at my old apartment. Let's hang out sometime okay?" he said.
"Sure!" Sakura answered happily "I'd love to!"
*~llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll~*
***Li's apartment, where Rayen is living with him***
Li woke up smiling, for he just had a good dream with Sakura in it. Then, a figure stepped into his room...(-Sakura?-) he thought...but he relized it was Rayen.
"Hey baby, did you get a nice sleep?" Rayen asked.
"Yeah, it was great." Li replied bluntly. Rayen gave Li a kiss on the cheek and went out to make breakfast.
::sigh::
Li watched Rayen leave and went over to his desk and got his photo album out. He turned to the first page, where there were the pictures when Sakura, Li, Tomoyo, Touya and Yukito went to the Cherry Blossom Festival. In the one picture where Sakura and Li were together, Li had a very mad look on his face because Tomoyo mad him pose with Sakura. (-I was so stupid, Why did I take everything for granted back then???-) Li turned further on into the photo album where there was a group picture of everyone at his old school at the beach, where Sakura and Li captured the 'Erase' card. In that picture, Li liked Sakura and he was standing right next to her. Sakura had on a pink hibiscus-print tank with shorts. If you looked at the picture closely enough, you could see Li blushing slightly. (-Why didn't I just tell her my feelings for her then?-) he thought. He felt someone looking behind his shoulder and smelled fresh bacon and eggs. He turned around and saw Rayen, and they kissed. (-augh...what am I doing?-)
"What are you looking at?" Rayen asked.
"Oh, just some pictures when I was ten." Li explained.
"Hey...you haven't changed much..except for the fact that you got a lot cuter!" Rayen said, giggling doing so. Li blushed.
"Gee...thanks..." he replied sheepishly.
"Hey...wait a minute...isn't that girl Sakura Kinomoto? The basketball player from yesterday?" Rayen asked.
"uhh...yea" Li replied...blushing hard.
"You knew her?"
"Yea, we were friends..." he explained.
"I would love to meet her some day...how about sometime soon?"
"uh....I'll try. I haven't talked to her for a while...I'll ask."
"Okay. Thanks!"
"Anytime..." (-What have I gotten myself into??? Am I crazy!? I'll never have a chance with Sakura...she probably doesn't like me...what's the use?-) *RING! RING!*
Li's thoughts were interrupted by the phone. He went across his room and answered the phone.
"Hello?" Li said.
"Hello? Li?" That all too familiar voice said to him. He couldn't see it, but Sakura was blushing madly on the other line.
"Hey Sa...Cherri" Li said. He knew that Rayen was listening and if he let her know it was Sakura calling him, she would start getting suspicious.
"Hey Li! Uh...I was just wondering...since we haven't seen each other for a while, what if we hung out today? You know, maybe we could watch a movie, go to the mall, eat dinner, just get friendly. So how bout it? You can invite your cousin if you want." Sakura said
"Cousin? What c..." (-Oh yeah-) he remembered. (-Rayen is my cousin to Sakura...why did I lie to her?-) "Sure, not a bad idea," Li said.
"That's great! I'll pick you up at twelve okay? We'll go out to lunch first."
"All right then, see you then!" Li said, smiling brightly.
"Bye!"
They both hung up and Li turned around to see Rayen looking at him.
"Who was that?" She asked.
"Oh...uh...that was a friend...Zachary. He was my friend in 4th grade. We're going to hang out today...I would invite you, but...you know....boy-stuff. You know I can't brag about you when you're there." (-Oh how lame is that?-) Li thought to himself.
"Oh, I understand completely. Besides, I was about to go to the mall with one of my teammates. Im cool with it." Rayen said.
"Thanks," Li said, relieved.
*~llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll~*
It was five minutes to twelve, and Li was in the best clothes he could find. He was wearing black baggy pants with a gray long-sleeved shirt. On top of it, he had on a navy sweatshirt. Rayen had left already, so he didn't have her to worry about. Li was nervous, in about five minutes, he would be next to Sakura, spending quality time with her. Time he would treasure as his life went on.
HONK HONK!!!
Li looked out the window, and saw Sakura in a sleek, brand new black sports car. In it was Sakura, the most beautiful thing in the world to Li. He rushed down the stairs and saw a smiling Sakura in the car, waving to him. He went inside the car, where he sould see Sakura clearly. She had on black pants with a pink tank top. On top of it she had on a black three-quarter sleeved jacket with the zipper zipped just enough to see the pink of the tank top.
"Hey Li, ready to go?" Sakura asked, still smiling. (-Im so nervous! He's actually next to me!-)
"Ready if you are," Li said teasingly. (-Wow, she's so beautiful-)
Sakura started the engine and they headed towards the central marketplace.
