Geo: Hey hey!! Disclaimer time!
I don't not own CCS nor do I own Nike...there!
Sorry, I really want to get on with my fic really badly. So here it is!
chapter three
normal conversations
Sakura and Syaoran walked quietly through the dark park until they came to a place where there seemed to be another pathway.
"This way," said Syaoran, taking her hand.
The pathway was secluded enough until they came to a large tree surrounded by bushes. Yes, thought Sakura. Very secluded.
"So," she began, an ironic smile on her face. "Here's where it all begins."
Syaoran looked at her, clearly puzzled. "Pardon?"
"You take me into your arms, and start to kiss me. Personally, I wish you would have more class and at least take me to a hotel where I could kick your ass for touching me there..."
"Whoa whoa, hold up." Syaoran said, holding up his hands. "What are you getting at?"
'He clearly is confused,' she thought, surprised.
"Why else would you bring me to a secluded part of the woods?" She asked cautiously.
"This is personally my favourite part of the park. Not many people know it's here. It's where I can come and think...like a normal person."
"Oh," She said quietly.
"Anyways, Ms. Kinomoto, I make it a habit not to take advantage of women." He sat down against the tree stump. "I don't know. It's not really accomplishing anything."
"Lots of agents do their business that way." Sakura commented, sitting down next to him.
"Do you, Ms. Kinomoto?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course not. I promised myself once when I first started that I would not stoop down that low. Oh, and please, call me Sakura."
The two talked about a couple of things until he suddenly said, "What are you after, Sakura?"
"Well..." Sakura started but stopped abruptly. She suddenly knew what he was doing. Trying to win her trust and throw it back at her. No, she wouldn't fall for that trick.
She jumped up. "No, you don't. You can't weasel out any information out of me, Syaoran. I'd rather die."
"Listen," he said. "I don't mean any harm. I just want to know, so I know why you're after me and intending on killing me."
"Why are you being so friendly?" She asked suspiciously. "I should've known."
"Can't I talk to you without you thinking that I'm going to take advantage of you or try and get the information out of you?" He asked furiously, then sighed. "Personally, I could care less about this stupid mission."
Sakura was surprised. She had never heard an agent think or talk like that except...
Except for herself.
"I understand how you feel." She said quietly. "I feel the exact same way. That was why I was so intent on killing you."
He chuckled. "Strange. It's normal day conversations for us to talk about killing. Personally, for one day, I would just want to leave all that behind and just...I don't know...do stuff without having to watch my back every single minute of every single day."
She stared at him and blushed when he looked down at her, his amber eyes meeting her emerald eyes.
'Why is he having this effect on me?' Sakura thought frantically.
'Why do I feel so calm, so absolutely at peace while she's near me? She's supposed to be the enemy..' Syaoran tucked that thought out of his mind.
"Syaoran, why do I trust you? All of a sudden, I trust you." She asked softly. "I've never trusted someone this much...not even Tomoyo. Aren't you supposed to be..."
"The enemy?" Syaoran finished. "I'm supposed to be. You're supposed to be. I don't know." He shook his head and looked back into Sakura's green eyes. They were filled with confusion but he could tell the faint glow of happiness. "I don't know why you feel that way, Sakura."
Sakura reached for his hand and squeezed it. "You and I have a lot in common. We both want to get out of this secret world of undercover agents. We both want to leave these lives and take on totally new ones. But, how?"
Syaoran shrugged. "I don't know, Sakura."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, what information did you get out of her?" Eriol asked Syaoran the next morning.
"Not much. We're going to meet again today..."
"What? You mean, almost like a date?" Eriol asked, surprised.
"Yeah. She fell for it." Syaoran grimaced. 'Yeah, right...fell for it. More like I fell for her.'
"But, you still got nothing out of her...?"
Syaoran shook his head and shrugged. "I didn't get anything. Listen, don't worry, I'll have all the information I need by tonight."
Eriol shrugged and smiled. "Hey, you're the leader of this mission. I'm not going to step in."
"Yeah, see you later."
Syaoran hung up the phone and sat down on the couch in his apartment. He was going out with Sakura today, and nothing was going to stop him. Good God, she was beautiful...
He sat straight up. "No, that's not right." He leaned back again. "Too much training. Can't even lead a normal life and have a normal date. No, wait, that's not right, either. This isn't a normal date. We have to find a way to get our two agencies to merge. That's all. That's it. Fin. End of story."
He couldn't convince himself, though. He looked back at his watch and decided that he might as well take a walk. He was meeting Sakura at the ice cream parlor and he may as well be early. He remembered that his watch had a mike in it and security, just in case. He took it off and exchanged it for a non-bugged watch that he bought himself once. With that, he grabbed his keys and left his apartment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a simple pink t-shirt and a comfortable pair of shorts with some Nike sandals. She always liked to dress casually like that, since she was usually on the run. You would not believe just how incredibly hard it was to run in a pair of platforms.
She sighed. She couldn't believe she had agreed to meet Syaoran at the ice cream parlor.
'This is just for the information, right? This can't be...that weird feeling...that sense of trust...no, it's not that. It can't be that...'
She sighed and glanced at the clock and groaned. "No! I'm going to be late...ooh, why does this always happen to me?!"
She ran out of her apartment and stormed down the stairs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Geo: So...how was that? Okay, I'm SORRY! That chapters are so frickin' SHORT! I'm SORRY! It's just that if I keep on going on I'm going to lapse into my next chapter and yeah...well, that's the scoop...sorry.
So, what did you think? Ooh...what will happen next? Syaoran and Sakura have forbidden feelings for each other?! Oh NO! Bwahahahaha!
