Since it's been a while…I'll give you a refreshment of the last chapter…

"Hoe? Oh…nothing, Tomoyo-chan. I just had a flashback of a dream I had. But anyway…what were you going to ask me?"

"Huh? Oh yeah! Who's your partner for our music project?"

"Hoe? Tomoyo-chan didn't you hear our sensei announce it? She was announcing everyone's partners."

"Gomen, demo, I wasn't paying attention. I was talking to Chiharu-chan. So…who's your partner, Sakura-chan?"

"It's…" Sakura started to say, but was cut off as someone answered for her.

"I am." A young man with chestnut brown hair and gorgeous amber eyes replied.

Tomoyo whipped her head in the direction of the voice.

"Syaoran-kun? Honto?!" Tomoyo squeaked surprisedly.

"Alright…today it is!" Sakura said genkily. "Oh! Tomoyo-chan?"

"Hai. What is it, Sakura-chan?"

"Who's your partner?"

"You didn't listen to the sensei either…huh, Sakura-chan? Cause if you were…you would've known. Gee, I wonder why you weren't listening?" Tomoyo said slyly, while eyeing Sakura suspiciously.

The fact was that Sakura was to absorbed in the matter of Syaoran being her partner and trying to fight the cherry red blush creeping up to her cheeks, that she didn't hear the sensei announce Tomoyo's partner.

"Well…y…y…you s…s….s…see…I..I…I…I was trying t...t...to think of what kind of piece m…m…me and S…S…S…Syaoran would be conducting." Sakura stammered out while blushing frivolously.

Tomoyo just eyed her and gave her an unbelieving look. Syaoran just stood there…not getting why Tomoyo was giving such a look.

"Well, Sakura-chan. My partner is none other than Eriol-chan!" Tomoyo squealed with delight. "Who else do you think would be with me? Oh-hohohohohohohoho!!! Honestly, Sakura-chan…you surprise me sometimes.

Tomoyo and Eriol looked at each other then turned to face Sakura and Syaoran with their all too evil and conniving smiles.

"Oh no you don't." Syaoran said while grinning.

He then turned to Sakura and gave her a pleasant meaningful look...which signaled her to explain. Both Eriol and Tomoyo's evil smiles ceased to exist and they blinked…not expecting that Syaoran and Sakura planned something to object them…or that Sakura could actually know of the meanings of their smiles. They had always thought that their dear Sakura would forever stay totally clueless.

"Well, you see…we know you both all to well…and…you guy's aren't going to be spying on us while we're doing this project. Gomen…demo…when you guys do that stuff…it gets pretty distracting and annoying." Sakura stated tartly to the two baffled people in front of her.

Both Eriol and Tomoyo's eyes were now dots and their faces showed utter disbelief…towards Sakura. Tomoyo was opening her mouth…about ready to say something…but Sakura held up a finger to stop her.

"Wait…we didn't…" Eriol started to say but then stopped when he caught a glimpse of Sakura.

Sakura was looking at him with puppy dog-eyes.

"Onegai…" Sakura pouted adding to the effect, "'tou-san."

"Well…we should be going now. See you tomorrow." Eriol said while giving Tomoyo a look asking if she wanted to leave first.

Tomoyo simply nodded. They, then, turned around and left.

"Well…shall we go now?" Syaoran asked.

"Hai. Demo…who's house are we going to compose the piece?"

"Why don't we go to my place?" Syaoran hurriedly suggested.

Sakura quirked an eyebrow at him. Then her face showed understanding. She, then, grinned at him.

"Alright…then, your place it is. Let's go. Lead the way Syaoran." Sakura said as she linked her arm with his.

Syaoran just blushed as they walked towards Syaoran's place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, Sakura?"

"Hai?"

"Don't you know the way to my place?"

"Well…not actually…I've only been there twice since you got it…remember?"

"Well…I thought that you'd know the way by now." Syaoran said with a bit of disappointment in his voice.

"Yeah, yeah…whatever. Don't worry…I'll know the way next time. I promise. But anyway…why didn't you drive to school today?"

"I don't know. I didn't feel like driving today. Why?" Syaoran said as he looked down at her.

"Oh…I just wanted to know that's all…and besides the point that I thought that you were going to pick me up in your car."

"Well…then…I'll pick you up tomorrow in my car. But which one do you wanna take?" Syaoran said as they turned a corner.

"Hmm…wait!"

"What?"

"I thought that you only had one car?" Sakura said as she looked up at Syaoran with a confused expression and tilted her head slightly.

"Well…" Syaoran said as he bashfully rubbed the back of his head with hand…"My mom sent me another car."

"Ohhh…that's right…rich clan boy gets everything…" Sakura said teasingly.

"Hey…I resent that! You know me! Plus, I didn't ask for the car…they gave it to me!" Syaoran said defensively.

"Yeah, yeah…I know…I was just playing around with you. Don't worry…I know that your not like that."

"That's good."

"Isn't it."

They then continued to walk in silence to Syaoran's apartment…basking in each other's presence.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ At Syaoran's Place ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I soooo _love_ your place, Syaoran!" Sakura squealed happily from the position on Syaoran's soft and fluffy couch. (You knoe…it's one of those couches where you sit down…and you kinda sink into it.) "Did I ever tell you that?"

"No…not actually. The last time, you said that my place as nice…and the time before that…you said it was beautiful…if I recall correctly. Demo…iie…you didn't tell me that you loved my place." Syaoran said from his kitchen.

He was preparing some snacks and tea.

"Well then…now you know! Oh! One thing though."

"Nani?"

"How come you changed places?"

"Well…cause I wanted a spacier place to live in." Syaoran said as he walked out of the kitchen with a tray of tea and crackers. "And because this place has a great view from the balcony."

Syaoran had moved to a different apartment complex six months ago. He got the pent house suite of the apartment…complements to the Li Clan. It was a two bed, two-bath suite…that even included a private backyard…which mostly held a swimming pool with a Jacuzzi and a few lounging chairs. Also, it contained one of those tables that had a really big umbrella attached to the middle of it. The balcony was in the master bedroom…which of course was Syaoran's, and the interior of the suite was a pastel green. The rooms were located opposite to each other. And the kitchen was located in the middle of the suite. Basically pillars was what distinguished the kitchen from the rest of the suite…the pillar formed into a hexagonal shape. Inside the kitchen…almost everything was made out of marble...from the drawers…to the cabinets…to the island table in the middle…to the counters. The only things that weren't marble…were the microwave, the ovens, the sinks, and the stove. In the living room, which was located to the left of the kitchen, was a five and a half-foot high definition TV. It had a couch and two armchairs…that were on both sides of the couch…that were placed in an arc like formation in front of the TV. And in front of the couch…there was a medium sized glass table. On the right side of the kitchen…was the baby grand piano…which was black.

"Oh…I see. Well…this place _is_ way better than your other place I must admit. It looks much more elegant." Sakura said before she took a sip of the tea that Syaoran gave to her. "Tell me, did you arrange all of this your self?"

"Well…yes…actually." Syaoran said as he made a pass for the last cracker.

"Sugoi." Sakura said while reaching for the last cracker…also.

They reached for the cracker. And…you know how that goes.

They both looked down at their hands and looked at each other. And as Sakura looked at Syaoran…he noticed that she had a mischievous glint in here eyes.

'And just exactly…what is she up to?' Syaoran said as he eyed Sakura.

Sakura just smiled and quickly grabbed the cracker. But was unfortunate in her alleged steal because Syaoran quickly took hold of the cracker too.

'Oh…so he doesn't wanna give me the cracker, huh?' Sakura thought as she quirked an eyebrow at Syaoran.

Syaoran just grinned at her and started to pull at the cracker.

'Oh no you don't!' Sakura thought as she pulled on the cracker too.

(A/N: I'm surprised that the cracker didn't break yet… ^.^;;;)

And so the tug-a-war for the cracker began.

"Syaoran…you know…it's bad manners to not give me the cracker." Sakura said tartly as she pulled harder on the cracker.

"Well…it's my house…and I don't need any etiquette right now." Syaoran answered back just as tartly…while keeping a hold on the cracker. "And I should rightfully get it because I went for the cracker first."

"Well…who cares! I want this cracker…go get some more if you want one…this _is_ your house anyway. So give me it!" Sakura said as she pulled at the cracker with both hands.

"No!" Syaoran said as he pulled even harder.

Crack!

Both Sakura and Syaoran went wide-eyed as they flew backwards.

"Hoe!"

"Ahhh!"

After a few seconds…give or take…both Sakura and Syaoran got up from their spots on the floor…spiral eyed…and still holding on to their parts of the cracker. ( hehehe…lyke this @_@ ) Then…they looked at each other…then down to their hand…where their part of the cracker was…then shoved it into their mouths and started laughing.

"Oh man…I can't believe we actually fought over a cracker." Sakura said as she got over her laughing fit.

"Yeah…but…you gotta admit…it was fun." Syaoran said while smirking.

"Yeah. Well…we should start working on our piece though." Syaoran said as he got up and picked up the tray that held the plate and cups.

"Un." I'll be by the piano, ok?"

"Yeah…sure. I'll be there in a minute…just let me put the stuff in the sink."

"Kae." Sakura said as she made her way to the other side of the kitchen. "Hey, Syaoran, what kind of piece should we write?"

"I don't know…I'll let you pick." Syaoran said as he walked over to the baby grand.

"Well…hmmm…I don't' really know right now. The only thing I know is that you're going to sing with me…on stage."

"Umm…on stage?" Syaoran asked incredulously. "Why don't we just make a video or something?"

"What you're scared?" Sakura taunted.

"No! I am not scared!" Syaoran said defensively.

"Could have fooled me." Sakura said while grinning. "But anyway…we really can't do that because I know that Tomoyo-chan is going to do something around that area. :sighs: So…we have to think of something else." Sakura said as she shrugged.

"Well…ok…we'll do it your way. I'm guessing that you want to be original?"

"Yes. But of course Syaoran! That'll make it even more fun!" Sakura said as she pressed a few keys on the piano.

"Whatever you say."

"So…hmm…what kind of beat should our song have?"

"Well…I don't actually know…but something not along the lines of a up beat song."

"Alright. I can take that. Hmm…what about…" Sakura said as she poised her finger under her lip and thought. "Oh! I know!"

"Well…what is it?" Syaoran said as he leaned closer towards Sakura.

"What about a mellow melody?! It would just sound great!" Sakura said as she clasped her hands together and looked ahead…dreamily.

Syaoran just looked at her for a minute and shook his head.

"You know…I think that you've been hanging around Tomoyo-chan a bit too much. You're starting to acquire some of her traits."

Sakura snapped out of her 'Tomoyo-chan' state and turned to Syaoran.

"Oh…gomen. I guess that you're right. But anyway…so…what about the mellow beat?"

"I'm all for it. But how did you come to that?"

"Well…lately…I've been into mellow songs lately. They're really soothing."

"True. So…now we have how we're going to perform and the tempo of the song down…so now…all we need are the lyrics…and what we're going to do during the song. We can't just possibly just stand there the whole time…that would be boring."

Sakura just nodded in agreement.

"Hey, Syaoran?"

"Hai?"

"Can you teach me a song?"

"What? To play on the piano?"

"Un!"

"Alright. What do you want to know how to play?"

"Well…" Sakura said, as she looked at the keys of the piano in deep thought. "What about Right Here Waiting for You?"

"Alright." Syaoran said as he went in back of Sakura and bended his head down toward her shoulder.

Sakura lightly blushed at the closeness of Syaoran's face to hers.

"Ok. Here…position your hands and fingers here…and here." Syaoran said as he took Sakura's hands and positioned them on the keys.

"O...okay. So…what next?" Sakura said as she tried to concentrate on the positioning of her fingers over the keys and not on how close Syaoran was to her.

"Well…do you know how the beat of the song goes?" Syaoran said as he turned his head ever so slightly to face her.

"Well…yeah."

"So…then…press the keys to the beat." Syaoran said as he turned his head to face the keys.

"Alright. Well…here goes nothing." Sakura said as she began to press the keys.

"See…there…you got the first part!" Syaoran said happily as he turned to face her.

"Yata! Arigato, Syaoran!" Sakura said as she turned to face Syaoran.

But…as she did so…her lips brushed his for a second…making them blink…then furiously blush…and turn away from each other.

"G…gomen, Syaoran."

"It's alright."

"Hoe!"

"What is it, Sakura?"

"What time is it?"

"Umm…" Syaoran said as he turned towards the clock in the kitchen. "It's 7:15."

"Hoeeee!!! I have to go home now! Oh man! Nii-chan is going to be so mad at me!"

"Why?"

"Because…" Sakura was staring to say…but was cut off…when her cell phone rang.

Ringggg…

Sakura ran over to her phone…which was in the living room.

"Hai."

"_KAIJUU!!!_ Where are you! Do you know what time it is?! You should have been home an hour ago!!! It's your turn to cook dinner today…and tou-san is going to be home soon!!!" Toya yelled…blowing Sakura's head away from the phone.

"Nii-chan! I'm not a kaijuu!!! And I'm coming home right now."

"Where are you anyway?" Toya asked suspiciously.

"Umm…I'm…I'm…at…Syaoran's house."

"_NANI_?! What are you doing at the GAKI'S house!!! Sakura!!! What did I tell you about being with him?!" Toya yelled…getting into serious 'sister complex' mode.

"NII-CHAN!!! Syaoran is _not_ a gaki! And I'm at his house because of a school project!" Sakura yelled into the phone.

"Whatever. Just get home now!"

"Hai." Sakura said dejectedly…while sweat dropping.

"Well…you must have heard my conversation." Sakura said while turning to Syaoran.

"Yeah…he was pretty loud. So…I guess that I'm taking you home now, huh?"

"Yeah. Arigato, Syaoran."

"No problem." Syaoran said while getting his keys from his room. "Lets go."

"Un." Sakura said as she followed Syaoran to his door.

"Ladies first." Syaoran said while gesturing his arm out the door.

"Why thank you kind sir." Sakura said as she walked passed him and out the door.

"Your welcome." Syaoran said as he too walked out the door and closed it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ At Sakura's Drive Way ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Thanks for the ride, Syaoran." Sakura said as she hugged Syaoran.

"No problem." Syaoran said softly.

"KAIJUU!!! GET OFF THAT GAKI!!!" Toya yelled out from the front door.

"Well…see ya tomorrow, Syaoran. Are you going to pick me up?"

"Of course."

"Well…okay. Same time right?"

"Yeah. Well…you better get going…Toya looks like he's ready to kill." Syaoran said amusedly.

"Yeah. Ja ne, Syaoran. See you tomorrow!"

"Ja ne. Good night…and sweet dreams"

"You too, Syaoran." Sakura said before she entered her house.

'Always…of you.' Syaoran thought…but just smiled at Sakura.
