Time Frame: Tomoyo and Eriol have returned to Tokyo to begin their spring semester. Sakura and Syaoron have been together for 2 weeks. The evil plan of Liz and her brother still hasn't been revealed.

hhhhh

'She's so beautiful,' thought Xin as he sat on the bleechers looking at the cheerleaders. All of them were stunning, but one shone above all the others. He was able to remain discreetly out of sight because of all the other men who had gathered to ogle the females. Most of them were there for the same reason as him. In the short time that Sakura Kinomoto had been on campus she had become a prize sought after by almost all the guys. They still desired her even though she was already attached to Li Syaoron. Most men were wise enough to stay away from the soccer star's girlfriend in preference of living. However, Xin was not most guys. He would have her and nothing would stop him from having her.

He had still been persistent in pursuing her even after the night he saw them kiss. He simply would not give up. Now however, she had begun to steer clear of him whenever possible. So with her rejection of him he could only look on from the sidelines, but soon he would have the perfect chance to take her. His grimace turned to a devilish smirk, he laughed a low guttural laugh with a coldness to it.

'Soon my cherry blossom, very soon.'

hhhhh

'Man I'm sore,' complained Syaoron mentally as he made his way to the cheerleader's practice. He had just gotten out of soccer practice a little while ago.

Syaoron continued to rub his sore muscles as he neared the field. Then he saw her. The moment he saw her beautiful emerald eyes shining and that million-watt smile shining in the afternoon light he no longer felt his sore muscles and bruised shins. Her mere presence was enough to make him forget all of his problems. He saw that the practice was winding down and so he hid himself from view so as to surprise her.

As practice wound down the cheerleaders began to disperse and soon Sakura was one of the few still left on the field. She was talking to Yuan Yuan about one of the sequences they had to do. She never noticed Syaoron coming up behind her. Yuan saw him but was hushed before she could say anything by an index finger placed on Syaoron's lips. She knew what he was planning and kept silent waiting to see the reaction in her friend.

He slowly slid up behind her. Stopped. And quickly wrapped his arms around her waist. As she turned her head to see who it was, letting out a short yelp of surprise, he clamped his lips down on hers.

For a moment she was stiff in his arms. But as the realization of her boyfriend's lips on her sank in, she gradually relaxed. She turned in his embrace to face him and to make kissing him a bit easier.

Eventually she broke away. "Later," said Sakura before Syaoron could kiss her again.

"Why?" pouted Syaoron.

"'Cause I'm sweaty from the long practice."

"I don't mind," stated Syaoron as he bent his head down to plant butterfly kisses on her neck.

"I need to take a shower," giggled Sakura as his kisses tickled her.

"Can I join you?" he asked as he nibbled at her earlobe.

"Syaoron!" exclaimed Sakura as she reluctantly pushed him away. "You should take a shower yourself, you smell like a Neanderthal."

"All the more reason why I should join you. You can wash my back and I can wash yours."

Sakura giggled at the idea of the two of them in the showers together. "Now that wouldn't be very proper."

"Who cares," said Syaoron as he lifted her off the ground and cradled her in his arms.

Sakura let out a startled cry but was quickly silenced by his hungry lips.

"What has gotten into to you today?" asked Sakura as she broke away.

"I've just been missing you."

"I don't see you for 24 hours and you turn into a love crazed maniac?" queried Sakura while she still remained in his protective arms.

"I go crazy when I don't see you for an hour."

"Well in that case lets do an experiment," said Sakura as she jumped out of Syaoron's arms. "Lets see how long you can last without kissing me."

"Not very long if you keep wearing that cheerleading uniform."

"Okay, we'll start the test after we change." And with that she rushed of to the locker room to change, leaving a very amused Syaoron.
