"Hello? Anyone home?" She shouts. *silence* "Guess not..." She smiled as she dragged Li to the stairs. "I'll meet you in my room. I have to lock the door and get the first aide kit. My rooms the second door on the right."
He nodded and went up the stairs, his eyes widened a bit. H-Her room? J-Just us two....*gulp*
As Sakura locks up and gets the kit; Li stummbles into her room, leaving the bags near the door. He looks around curiously and finds two pieces of pink paper...each folded the same exact way on her dresser. He looks around him and picks up the paper on the right.
Syaoran-
I jus wanted to...
Eep! He folds it back up and puts it back where it was. He looks around again...then picks it up and opens it, yet again.
...tell you that I really like you. I feel safe when you're around me...thats why this Friday, I wanted you to go to the Carnival with me....
He grinned widely as he folded it back up. He skim read the note, but those few neatly written words made his heart race with anticipation and excitement. He placed it back and picked up the note on the left.
Sakura-
Went to Tomoyo's....new video game...won't be home 'till 7.....save dinner...
-Kero
Heh. Stuffed animal won't be home for a while...he grins again, folding and placing it back where it was.
"What are you doing?" She steps in, holding a white box.
"Umm...checking out my cheek." He looks up to the dresser's mirror, watching her reflection as well. She's so cute...
"Alright...sit on my bed. I'll clean and bandage it up for you." She smiled, strands of her chestnut hair fell infront of her emerald eyes.
He sat on her bed, watching her every move with his warm, chocolate eyes. She's so...mine....He grinned a bit.
"Now...tilt her head up and to the left....alright that's good...Now...This won't hurt...to much..." She smiled.
"Ok..."...he felt her gently dab the wound with a Peroxide soaked cotton ball, the clear liquid streaming down his cheek as she wiped down the cut. Her beauty and, well, just her, made nothing hurt him anymore. He smiled as he felt her soft, warm fingers apon his cheek, his heart racing even quicker than it was before.
"Ack!" She wiped off the Peroxide that trickled down the side of his face and neck with her shirt. "..Sorry.." She picked up the Band-aid strips that would hold the cut together. She unwrapped them carefully. Li brought his head down and watched her, he smiled a bit.
"Hey! Tilt your head back!" She giggled.."Now...This won't hurt at all"...She placed the three strips evenly along the 2 inch slash, her soft fingers pressing lightly on his skin. Her lips curled into another smile. "There....All fixed."
He smiled in return, then glanced into the mirror. She's wonderfull...he looked back up to her, their eyes meeting. She blushed a bit and continued to smile. Not knowing what exactly took over him, Li slipped his hands around her waist. Her eyes widened, and her long lashes blinked slowly. He drew her close to her as he stood up, almost picking her up with him. She dangled in the air a few inches above the ground, their eyes still locked on one anothers. He grinned, "Thank you, Sakura...You're always..." And they say in unison..."...there for me..."
They both grin, and Li leans in to kiss her softly on those soft lips of Sakura...
"Eh-hem..." her dad stood there, his arms folded across his chest as he stood in the doorway.
"Dad?!"
Li let go and turned many shades of red. "I'm sorry, Mr. Kinomoto...Sir..." he picks up his bags.
Sakura just stood there....dumbfounded, partically that her Dad was home, but mostly for the near kiss....Dammit...can't he knock...or wait at least five more minutes!!
"Good night" Li ran out and down the stairs, stummbling a bit at the bottom. His eyes looked up to the door, and ...Not another surprise....
"Why hello there, Li Syaoran..." Touya had his arms across his chest too, looking like a duplicate of his father. Li shook his head.
"Hello, Touya.." Li stummbled out of the house and down the stairs.
"Oh...come back again..." Touya grummbled, glaring at the youngster..."Brat.." he mummbled as he slammed the door behind him.
Touya went upstairs, ready to join in on the juicy story with Sakura and Li. What happened here? He smiled a bit, he always liked finding out how his little sister got into trouble, but this time he didn't cause the trouble.
"Dad! It's not what you think! He got into a fight-"
"Oh..a trouble-maker...You always seem to like these bad boys, Sakura."
"No! He was helping me! This boy...Toni..a new kid..was..."..she thought.."making fun of me, and Syaoran defended me."
"Fight your own wars, Squirt" Touya blurted out from behind their Dad.
"Shut up, Touya!" Sakura and her dad yell at the same time.
"Fine..Fine..." Touya slinks into his room. He slams the door behind him and begins to get ready for later that night.
"Sakura, You know boys are not allowed in the house; Besides friends of your brothers."
"But Dad! He was hurt...And I helped him"
"It's no excuse. At least help him outside. What if the neighbors thought of something...boys in my house...no parent at home...We'll be the topic at the next Parent meeting next year!" Her dad turns out of her room, rambling on and on about the social problems that could emerge from this "disaster".
She sighs, it was only 6 o'clock, and soon Kero would be back and she'd have to repeat her story about the school fight. Tomoyo must have edited it and shown it to him.
Great....I get so close to getting what I've wanted for soo long....but it's all gone...She walks to her window, tapping lightly on the glass. Friday, Little Wolf, friday I'll tell you....I love you.....
