"DIG through the ditches and BURN through the witches!"
Part Three
Eriol landed with a soft thump when he jumped from above the boat and walked inside, happy at the air-conditioning that hit him. This boat really had it all. "Oi!" He called out to them. " You look outside? I got a really nice place!"
Sakura leaned back from the kitchen sink to see around Syaoran, who was hooking up his laptop on the bar. "Oooh." Sakura awed. "It's pretty!"
Syaoran turned around to look out the large glass windows behind him. "Un..Nice place, Eriol."
"I know..I know..." Eriol bowed dramatically. "I'm the man."
"Well then," Tomoyo began from the behind him. "The man better get his cute butt in here and help me unpack!"
Eriol instantly was humbled. "Yes 'Mam."
Syaoran blinked.
~**~
"So...now that our stuff is put up, our boat is parked, and Eriol and Tomoyo are having their 'alone time'...... what do you want to do?" Syaoran spoke to the ceiling, as he was laying on the couch by the wall. The couch curved with the wall where the livingroom met the bedroom wall, making an 'L' shape. Syaoran was laying so he head was at the curve of the couch, with Sakura's body laying perpendicular to his. Her head was touching his neck and both looked at the ceiling.
"Don't know...." She replied, turning her head slightly to look at him. Syaoran looked down to her and offered a small smile. "I know..." She stated, turning her head back to look at the ceiling. "We are on Vacation and am already bored out of our minds...."
A small silence.
"Eriol..."
"Tomoyo..."
The pair on the couch blinked and sat up. Their friend's voice's came through the small walls when it was quiet.
"Soooo!" Syaoran stated in a loud voice. "Want to go outside!?"
"Yes!" Sakura replied, equally as loud. "Let's!"
~**~
Syaoran looked out from the top of the boat at the scenery around him. Nothing too interesting. They were parked somewhere on the massive river where the bank cut across in a 'C' shape. The water was really smooth here and a small breeze almost constantly blew down from the land. Syaoran could see the top of the hill, where the sun was around. The land humped up to block any more view of the river, but the other three sides were clearly viewable, and had a great view of the rest of the river.
"Ne, Syaoran...." The young boy turned to Sakura, who was bending over the boat- giving him a nice view himself. "Come over here a sec, will you?"
Syaoran swallowed and diverted his eyes. "H-hai." When he reached her side and looked down, a small smile came to his face. One that Matched Sakura's perfectly.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" He nodded. Below him were two jet skis, held out of the water by a rope and pulley so they wouldn't drag as they were towed. "Change first" Sakura shouted cheerfully, turning to run to the ladder.
"Oi! No fair!"
~**~
"Okay.....lower it down a little more...little more.....perfect!" Syaoran smiled at Sakura and held out a hand. "Join me?"
Sakura blushed and bent down to take his hand, letting him help her onto the machine. "Hai..." The blushing girl sat down behind Syaoran and placed her hands in her lap. At first she was disappointed when Eriol and Tomoyo had came out of their room, asking for the other jet ski, but now she was glad. She got to be close to Syaoran.
"Hold on."
"Hoe?"
Syaoran grinned and pushed his thumb on the gas. "I said 'hold on'!" Without warning he slammed forward, making Sakura yelp and grab his waist. Both were instantly coated in a light shade of water as they left the area of the boat and onto the wide-open smooth surface of the water.
Sakura's blush grew even more as she felt Syaoran's wet, perfectly toned stomach. She then realized he was perfectly toned all over. His muscles weren't big like most guy's, but they were solid and felt hard like rock, but soft and delicate somehow to her fingers.
"Ne, Sakura!" He called behind his shoulder, turning his head slightly. "Having fun yet?"
Seeing Syaoran's face red as well, Sakura couldn't help but ease up and smile. "Hai!"
"Good, because were going to do a three sixty!"
Now Sakura knew skateboard talk, though she didn't use it herself, but the talk of a spin on the water gave her mind a little work. 'He doesn't mean...'
Syaoran gripped the handel bars tight and turned sharply and quickly, swinging the end of the jet- ski behind him in a circular motion. Sakura screamed and gripped him tight, pulling herself close to him. When the momentum slowed down and they stopped moving, Syaoran's face turned bright red when he felt certain parts of Sakura pressed tightly against his back.
Slowly Sakura opened her eyes and lifted her head from Syaoran's back. Her arms withdrew from his waist and he turned around slightly to look at her. Suddenly a flash of humor his him. "Oi..Sakura...Your headlights are on." The next thing Syaoran realized was the sudden chill of water and a fish swimming away from him. Above him, he heard the water distorted 'Mou' of Sakura. 'Oh....two could play like that.' Without resurfacing, Syaoran swam to the other side of the jet-ski and gripped it. He had learned how to drive a jet-ski in Hong Kong. Although that was a very long time ago, he still remembered that you had to board from the back or right side. That was to keep the balance. When weight hit the left side......
~**~
Eriol blinked as Sakura's Jet-ski just tipped over out of blue the blue. He was about to steer his over to it, but he saw Syaoran's head pop up out of the water and laugh. A small smile came to his face.
"Kawaii desu wa...." Tomoyo spoke from behind him.
Eriol only nodded. "Un."
~**~
"Matake mou!" Sakura pouted, splashing Syaoran with water and pouting cutely. "That was mean..."
"Oh?" Syaoran grinned. "I consider being thrown into the water for no reason mean as well!"
Sakura thumped water and him. "You started it by being a pervert!"
"Well if you could control yourself, then that wouldn't have happened!"
"Girls' can't help that!"
Syaoran splashed her. "Whatever."
Sakura returned the wave of water with one of her own. "Hentai!"
"Sexless!" Another splash and a chuckle.
"Stupid!" A giggle and yet another wave of water.
"Flat chested!"
"Small--"
~**~
Syaoran righted the jet-ski and pulled himself up. When he was sure of his balance, he turned and offered his hand to Sakura, who took it with a smile and let herself be pulled up and out of the water. "That was fun." She greets as she sits down behind him and wraps her arms around him. They had just fallen off for the thirtieth time that day. Already they had become accustom to Sakura having her arms around Syaoran and being pressed against each other.
"Ne...Want to drive?" Syaoran looked behind himself to smile to Sakura. "It's easy?"
Sakura shook her head 'no'. "No thanks...I'd wreck us..."
A small chuckle came from Syaoran's lips. "Like I just didn't? Come on," He stood and slid the key guard from his wrist. "Try it." With a fluid and steady motion, he slid behind Sakura and pushed her forward with his body.
"Hoe...." Sakura blushed, now trying to get used to Syaoran's body being wrapped around her from behind.
"See?" Syaoran slid his right hand around her and took her right hand and brought it to her stomach. With his other hand, he grabbed the cable that had the wrist guard on it and slid it onto Sakura's awaiting hand and tightened it slightly to fit her smaller wrist. "This is the key guard." He pointed to the 'key' on the handel bar. "The engine will not cut on unless that clip is on that little nob right there." He pointed to the band around Sakura's wrist. "This way, if you get thrown off, the cord will snag on the clip and tear it off, therefor cutting the engine."
"I..I see."
"Anyway, to turn it on, press the red button on the right handel bar." Syaoran moved her hand up to press the button when she hesitated. "It won't bite." He whispered into her ear, causing the young girl to blush madly.
~**~
"Smooth one, Li."
Tomoyo giggled and pulled her binoculars back from Eriol.
~**~
"Different jet-skis have different throttle controls." Syaoran continued to explain. "Some have twist handles and others have levers for your thumb, like this one. The further you press it, the faster you'll go."
"N-not to fast, ne?" Sakura asked, a little nervous.
"I say this one can go up to seventy...."
"Hoe..."
"Anyway," Syaoran placed both of Sakura's hands on the handel bars and kept his on top, ignoring the heat on his face. "Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it!" Without farther warning, Syaoran pressed his thumb on the lever and they took off with a start.
Sakura immediately yelped and found herself pressed against Syaoran's chest. When Syaoran' removed his hands, Sakura pressed her thumb on the accelerator. The male's hands behind her found themselves on her waist and Syaoran went into his own world while Sakura explored her new one in front of her.
A few minutes went by before Sakura spoke again. "Hey, this isn't so bad...."
"See?" Syaoran chuckled, returning to the present and taking his mind off of Sakura's petite body wrapped in his arms. "I told you." Sakura's happy laugh rang out through the river.
~**~
Syaoran shivered lightly when he walked into the air-conditioned room. Two towels have been placed by the door for them, causing the young boy to smile to himself. Picking them up, he tossed one around his neck and stepped aside so Sakura could enter. She instantly brought her arms around herself and shivered herself. With one hand Syaoran slid the door close and used his other to hand Sakura the towel.
The young girl instantly started to pat herself dry. Her pink two-piece bikini didn't offer her much protection against the cold air in the room.
Syaoran watched Sakura dry herself off as he did the same. Her bikini was obviously made by Tomoyo to aggravate him. It hugged her perfectly and clung to her tightly when wet, almost as if the material shrunk when wet. Syaoran wasn't lying when he called her flat chested. She was an 'a' cup at the most. But she was pert and petite, and the thin swim wear almost seemed transparent...
"And just what are you staring at?" Tomoyo asked, giggling from her place on the couch, recording it all.
Syaoran blinked and shot up into a straight posture. "I.....I ... uh....." He looked at Sakura to see her lift her arms to dry her hair and bend back a little to stretch. The next words left his mouth quickly. "Gotta go change. Ja!" And with that, he ran into his room and closed the curtain of a door.
"Hoe?"
~**~
"Should have seen it!" Tomoyo squealed to Eriol, who had given up his room so Sakura could change as well. He was wearing dark navy blue shorts and a matching tank top. His hair was braided and he was currently sitting at the curve of the couch with Tomoyo under one arm. The happy girl was wearing short shorts and one of Eriol's old T-shirts. She let her hair flow out behind her. "It was soooo kawaii!"
Eriol nodded, flipping through the channels. "I'm sure Syaoran thought his view was 'kawaii' as well.."
Tomoyo hit him lightly. "Hentai."
This earned her a look. "Oh.. Excuse me, miss 'Let me make Sakura-chan the sexiest two-piece bathing suit that will be sure to turn Li-kun on.'"
The girl blushed. "I...." she began.
"Am a scheming little girl who loves making Syaoran embarrassed." Eriol finished for her. After the statement, he bent his head down a little and kissed her forehead. "Which makes me love you only that much more."
"Oh...Eriol-chan...."
"Least I don't have '-chan' tacked to my name, loser." Syaoran grunted, moving to open the refrigerator.
Eriol grinned and looked up. "At least I have a girl, loser-kun." He teased.
"Humph." He popped open a can of Dr. Pepper and took a swig.
~**~
"Isn't there anything to do here?" Syaoran asks, laying on his bed and staring at the low ceiling.
"Mou.... Eriol-kun and Tomoyo-chan claimed the T.V. so that's out of the question...."
"And we already went out in the water and changed out of our suits..."
Sakura's stomach growled at her. "Heh...."
Syaoran turned slightly so he was on his side, facing her. "Hungry?"
She nodded a little, blushing. "Hai.."
Suddenly an idea came to the teenager. "Oi, how about a picnic? Just us two."
A small blush came over her face. "Oh?"
Syaoran nodded and slid out of his bed, offering his hand. "Un. Come on."
~**~
Tomoyo smiled to herself when she saw Sakura and Syaoran walk into the kitchen area holding hands. Mentally she wondered if they were a couple yet, or if they were just being friendly with each other again. Wait a minute, They are in here now.....
Tomoyo adjusted her shirt and Eriol shifted slightly.
~**~
Sakura turned her eyes back to watching Syaoran root through the cabinets for stuff to eat. He tossed random things onto the cabinet before moving to the refrigerator.
"Oi, Sakura." Syaoran calls over to her in a light voice. "Make some sandwiches while I root up some side dishes.
A nod and a smile. "Hai!"
