How Much I Love you
Chapter 1!


Sakura was startled by her alarm that went off at 5 a.m. She got up and got dressed as she normally did, but today would be different than any other school day. Sakura was greeted by Tomoyo-chan and Li-kun, Eriol would be arriving on a flight from England at about 4:00 that evening for a special event that would take place later.

"HOEE!!!" Sakura squealed as her face lit up with joy. Syaroan gave her a bouquet of Cherry blossoms and Roses. Sayoran hugged her and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. This was their 5-month anniversary and also Sakura's birthday.

"I love you Sakura-chan..." Li -kun whispered in her ear. She blushed and couldn't wait for tonight. Sakura looked at her watch and yelled that they were going to be late if they didn't get going, but none of them cared cause today was Friday and Eriol was coming in from England for the rest of the year. They all ran toward the High school, as they got there the bell had just rung and they almost got detention.

"Kinimoto-Sakura"

"Hai! Ma'am" Sakura replied to the teacher, who was taking attendance. Sakura knew this day would be along one, due to the special day they had ahead of them.

*** A hours later ***


"Syaoran -kun! Hurry or were gonna be late for the flight!!" Tomoyo yelled up stairs to his apartment room.
"I'm coming Daidjoui-san!" As he stared at himself in the mirror he knew he was ready, as he started down the stairs, Tomoyo ran up after him and dragged him down, almost tripping and falling down the stairs they made it to the airport 5 min before Eriol's plane got there. Sakura had been there and hour before anyone. She was so excited to see Eriol for the first time in 8 years, other than talking to him on the phone.

"Flight 287 form England has arrived." The intercom rang out as Sakura heard the first call for the flight she ran toward the unloading doors and held the flowers and chocolates in her hand tightly waiting for Eriol to unboard.

"Flight 287 from England has arrived on time and will be unloading in 10 minuets." The intercom rang out again Sakura was growing impatient, as Syaoran came up behind her out of breath.

"We ...got...here as fast..as we could..." He managed to tell her. Tomoyo -chan was right behind Syaoran with her new Digital Camera that she just purchased a few days ago just for this occasion!
Sakura giggled and handed Tomoyo the flowers (Sakura bought them for Tomoyo to give to Eriol-kun ^^") As they did their greetings Sakura and Syaoran got in their car and Tomoyo and Eriol in another and headed for Sakura's house. When they got there the lights were out, which Sakura remembered they were on when she left.

"That's odd..." Sakura said as the 2 cars pulled into the driveway. "I thought I turned the outside lights on when I left the house!" Syaoran looked at her with a confused look on his face

"Well come on! Lets go in and find out" Eriol exclaimed, as he knew what was going on. They all got to the door way when they heard a crash come from inside the house, Sakura was already scared she thought someone had broken into the house or it was possed by a ghost.

"I don't wan go in" Sakura brining tears to her eyes "What if its possessed by a ghost!" She continued to wail. Tomoyo ran up to her and squeaked.

"Your mascara is running Sakura!" Tomoyo quickly pulled out a tissue and more mascara .As Tomoyo put the mascara on her and wiped her tears, Eriol entered the house and noticed Suppi-chan and Kero in the air. Eriol waved his hands for them to get on the couch and making hand motions for Suppi-chan to act like a stuffed animal. Suppi-chan wasn't surprised. Syaoran looked at Eriol.

"What on earth are you doing Eriol ... Are you seeing things?" He asked in amusement and starting to laugh at the thought of what Eriol was doing. As they finally all got the courage to enter the house, they stood there in shock as to what they found....

"HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY SAKURA-CHAN! " All 5 of them yelled. Yuki, Touya, Suppi-chan and Kero and last but not least the freak Naruku. But Suppi-chan quickly turned into a stuffed animal again as Eriol told him to, with a not so great look on (her/ he/it?) face.
"HOOEEE!" Sakura squealed" What a surprise I had no idea!" She was so happy, carrying a lot of flowers she dropped them and ran to Touya and Yukito, who she had not seen in about 2 years, because they were in college.
"You've grown very big Sakura-san!" Both replied in unison, "Well lets party!"
"Wait I thought I heard 5 voices … and Naruku how'd you get here? …." Sakura was puzzled as to how that happened.

"I'm going to Touya's College!" She yelled a little too loud for comfort. Toyua had a huge sweatdrop on the side of his head as Naruku glomped on Toyua. Touya let out a sigh as he dragged everyone into the kitchen for presents and cake, Kero-chan COULDN'T wait, of course, they all gathered in the kitchen as Yuki-san pulled out a HUGE cake, everyone's eyes were Kawaii style big.

They had finished partying, now it was Syaoran's turn to be alone with Sakura, he would take her out to dinner in about 2 hours. He left to go get changed, as Sakura did the same. Tomoyo was going to go out with Eriol for a little "get to gether" also with Touya and the gang then the would split off for the night.

*** 2 hours later …DUN DUN DUN! ***

Ding-Dong. The doorbell rang Sakura rushed down stairs in some new clothing and quickly opened the door. She wasn't to surprise at to who it was; she was excited all the same. She invited him in; she had to do some finishing touches on her hair and makeup. Syaoran sat down on the couch and looked at the room that was very firmilar to him, yet different somehow.

Sakura rushed down the stairs again ready to go "I'm ready Syaoran hurry or we'll be late for the reservations!" Syaoran got up and said to Sakura that she looked remarkable, she blushed as Syaoran kissed her cheek and took her hand in his "Lets go!" As they got into the car, they got the restaurant and ate their food, then went to a movie for about and hour. They had a great time, but what Sakura didn't know what was about to happen in about 20 minuets, when they got to Syaoran's apartment.

*** 20 min later…Syaoran's Appt! ***

As they walked inside she sat on the couch and waited for Syaoran to come out of his room, he was getting her present he forgot to wrap, as he emerged form the room he had MORE Flowers and A little box.

"I wonder what this could be…" Sakura pondered with a grin on her face, as she opened it she found a diamond heart necklace .She was to shock to say anything, for a moment she just sat there and looked at it when Syaoran said.

"Well, do you like it my little cherry-blossom?" As he kissed her on the cheek she blushed and kissed him on the cheek back.
"I love it Li-kun!' Just then Syaoran burst out looking at the ground.

"Sakura I really do love you, very much…" he paused "I wanted to let you know. I'm ready to … move to the "next" level in our relationship …if your ready that is." He stared at the floor barley blushing, but you could tell *^_~*. Sakura looked at him and pulled up his face, she kissed him on the lips.

"You don't have to be ashamed to tell me that!" She smiled at him when he looked at her, now he wasn't ashamed he magically got the courage to do what he wanted to do, he was stronger now, after all he was 18 to, a few months older than Sakura -chan. He knew he could do this, suddenly he started kissing Skaura passionately, and She followed.

This went on for some time, then he picked Sakura up in his arms, and lead himself into his bedroom with her in his arms. Sakura was to busy thinking about what just happened and went with him and as soon as they got to his room, he laid her on the bed, he started to kiss her again, taking off her dress she had on. Sakura was shocked as to what was happening, but was too stiff to move, but wanted it all the same. Now they both were undressed and Syaoran was kissing her neck, she was sighing and moaning as the night wore on, he made love to her.

Morning came around she was in Syaoran's bed with her eyes wide open, Syaoran was next to her with his arms around her belly. She sighed and looked out the window, then at the clock, it was 11:00 a.m. Sakura wasn't surprised, she always slept in on weekends, it was only Saturday. Just then she remembered she had to meet Tomoyo at the park at 12:00, Sakura lifted Li-kun's arm off her belly and quickly got dressed, she had to run home and get changed, or Tomoyo-chan would be surprised as to what happened last night. Just as she was about to leave his bedroom, she heard him sit up.

" Nani? "He said sleepily, Sakura replied to him in a soft voice.
" I forgot I have to meet Tomoyo-chan at the park at 12, so I have to go…"
He got out of bed, still with no clothing on; Sakura's eyes went wide and averted them to the floor.

"Would you like a ride over there? " He exclaimed, "No I have to go home and get changed." She didn't want to look up, so she left the room quietly, smiling.
