Kiss
Chapter Two: What happened afterwards...
A Fanfiction by Kyo
-*-*-*-*-
Li Syaoran, young Chinese warrior, and soon to be leader of the powerful Li Clan, still smiled as he remembered the feel of her lips on his. Every time he remembered it, warm shivers invaded his body in waves of unbelievable pleasure. His first kiss had been the most amazing thing that had ever happened in his miserable life. The only thing that came first was Kinomoto Sakura, most powerful sorceress of the world and Card Mistress of the magical Sakura Cards, herself.
The first moment he had met her, the first time he had seen her smile, the first time he blushed at her, when he first accepted that he liked her, and later that he loved her...
All the firsts, and the seconds, and the thirds... all had been incredible. And now that he finally had kissed her... there was nothing more perfect than that... nothing. Everything had been perfect that night.
Well... not everything.
Everything had been perfect that night... till... Touya opened the front door.
Everything that followed had been a true nightmare. Yes, nightmare.
Syaoran was so blessed by the feeling of Sakura's lips on his that Nothing else mattered... And that, of course, included Touya. They both were so into the kiss, that they didn't notice the slamming of the door, not the ear splitting shouts. Well, not till they were practically on their faces.
Syaoran's, as well as Sakura's, first reaction was that one of shock. And panting. Yeah, while you kiss you can't breathe, and this had been a long kiss. A very long, nice, passionate, tender, kiss. Syaoran had to admit that the first thing he wanted to hear after that wasn't "Baka Gaki! What are you doing to my sister!?" Of course, he wasn't doing anything wrong, in fact he had asked for permission to kiss her. If she had said no, he would have never showed his face ever again near her. But the fact was that she hadn't refused and that he was sure she had enjoyed it as much as he had.
Since shock had paralyzed both of them in place, Touya decided to use more... persuasive methods.
"You better start running, Gaki, or I'll beat you to a bloody pulp!" The overprotective older brother hissed in a clear menace.
Syaoran didn't want this special moment to be ruined by Touya, and even if his body hadn't registered it, Syaoran's brain was very angry. And Sakura was angry too. Since women most commonly react first in awkward situations, Sakura was the first one to open her mouth, and not exactly to talk.
The next part of the sequence of events that occurred in less than half an hour were a complete shock to poor onii-chan. That was for sure.
Sakura, as I was saying, opened her mouth.
Syaoran remembered Sakura's next actions in sheer amazement and more than a little pleasure.
She opened her mouth, stood on her toes and caught Syaoran's lips in hers, again.
This time, Syaoran's body acted before his brain, as his brain was still angry. He felt her warm lips on his and worked his mouth against hers. He kissed her parted lips with such tenderness, that Sakura would have fell on her knees right there and then if Syaoran hadn't caught her by putting his arms around her slim waist and pressing her against him. Sakura moved her hands, which had been pressed against his cheeks all this time, and placed them on his neck. She passed her feather light fingers through his soft, chocolate hair.
Touya's face of complete shock was worth a million dollars. Too bad Tomoyo wasn't there to video tape it. Now he had nothing to make the Gaki guilty of. Unless getting kissed counted. This time he had been eyewitness and he couldn't say the Gaki had kissed or done anything to his sister. Damn!
When they finally parted lips, none of them was aware of the world that surrounded them. There were only the two of them and an infinite feeling of love, peace and sheer bliss.
Sakura started giggling for some reason. "What are you laughing at?" Syaoran asked, while he took her hand in his and kissed her palm tenderly.
"I didn't know you were such a good kisser, my Little Wolf." Sakura stated. She intertwined her fingers with kissed and wrapped his arm around herself. They stood like that for a moment, Sakura's back to his chest and she buried her head in the crook of his neck.
Touya was being ignored! Touya couldn't stand to be ignored! What was he going to do!? But then again, they did a handsome couple as everybody had said. He sighed. Watching her like this made him feel old... He turned around and let them do their doing.
"Oh! Really?" He asked teasingly. He kissed the back of her head. "You were not so bad yourself." He teased. She gave him a playful nudge. "Alright! You were awesome!" He retracted. He was still hugging her from behind to keep her warm. The night was getting chilly.
Syaoran knew he wanted to ask that question. He wanted to say: "Sakura, do you want to be my girlfriend?" But the words didn't quite wanted to form on his mouth. He knew that if he tried to talk right now, his throat wouldn't give away anything useful and he would probably start babbling like some idiot. He took a very deep breath that made Sakura giggle when his chest raised and then fell. He smiled at the sound of her happy giggles. What he would do to hear that everyday of the rest of his life.
He needed courage. A lot of courage to do this. I can do it! He told himself.
He leaned closer to her ear. He nuzzled her ear gently. It made her shiver pleasantly.
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He whispered near her ear. He felt how she straightened abruptly and her breath seemed to get caught by her throat.
Sakura felt happy tears sting her eyes. This was so wonderful! She turned around to face him. She saw he had his eyes shut tight as if he was waiting to be hit or something. She raised her arms and placed them around his strong neck.
Syaoran waited for the worst. That would prepare him for everything else. He felt how she turned around on his arms. He thought she was going to slap him, but instead he felt how she wrapped her arms around his neck. And what amazed him the most were her next words, whispered into his ear.
"I'll be your girlfriend, and much more if you let me." She answered gently to his question, meaning every single word she had said.
Syaoran answered her by capturing her warm lips into his again in a never ending kiss.
-*-*-*-*-*-
"Tell us again! Tell us again!" Tomoyo, Rika, Naoko and Chiharu pleaded to a getting-annoyed-by-the-second Kinomoto Sakura.
"Come on guys! I had told you more than five times!" She exclaimed in exasperation. Before Tomoyo could open her mouth, Sakura said. "And to you it's been more than eight Tomoyo, so don't dare to open your mouth!"
"Please! Pretty, pretty please? Just one more time?" All four girls pleaded with wide, shinny, teary, open eyes.
Sakura sighed and nodded. It wasn't like she didn't want to remember it again and again, but she rather be with Syaoran than re-telling once and again the story of her first kiss (and the following) to her friends.
"...and then he kissed both of my hands, and I turned around. His eyes never left me till I closed the door." Sakura finished her story. All four girls sighed dreamily. Her eyes were focused on something in space, probably imaging it was them.
"That's the most romantic thing I have ever heard..." Chiharu breathed. The girls nodded.
"I'll write something based on that..." Naoko whispered.
Tomoyo, Rika, and Chiharu looked sharply at her. ""I'll be the first one to read it!"" The three near shouted in unison.
Sakura sweatdropped. She wondered how she ended having this kind of friends. It wasn't like she was normal, but...
She sighed. She had only been away from him like four hours, (he had gone to her house to pick her up and walk her to school) and she already missed him...
-*-*-*-*-
Li Syaoran stood outside the big soccer field, using his right hand to protect his eyes from the sun, he appeared to be looking for someone.
One teammate neared him. "What are you doing, Li? Looking for your girlfriend?" He said jokingly. Everybody knew that Li Syaoran dated no girl, but always hung out around the most popular girl of school and her best friend.
"Actually, yes." Syaoran responded casually, while his grin grew bigger when he felt Sakura's aura grow nearer. He didn't know, but it gave him the impression that each time they grew closer, it was easier for them to feel each other's aura. There were less barriers.
His teammate was in shock. Li Syaoran, cold captain of the soccer team, was dating someone? Impossible. He recovered just enough to ask another question. "And who is the lucky girl? May I ask?"
"Kinomoto Sakura." He said simply. In his heart Syaoran was saying the most beautiful, nicest, bravest girl in the whole world.
Second shock for his teammate in less than twenty seconds. The sweet, enchanting, innocent and most popular girl of school was dating this cold-hearted guy? Nah! That couldn't be possible!
-*-*-*-*-
Sakura chatted happily with her friends. The time to see her Little Wolf was growing nearer and she couldn't keep in her excitement. She felt his green, warm aura brush hers. A warm shiver invaded her body in anticipation.
She was walking toward the football field accompanied by Tomoyo and her cheerleader teammates. These included Naoko and Chiharu, who after a lot of times trying, they gave up to make Sakura tell them the whole story again, and now were babbling about what was she going to do now.
Sakura searched the field from the top of the steps. And, finally, she spotted him. She waved at him happily. He waved back. Sakura descended the steps two at a time. Syaoran feared she could trip and fall. He waited for her at the last step with huge smile on his lips.
Sakura was smiling too. She jumped the last three steps and landed exactly on top of him. Syaoran caught her easily and hugged her close.
Syaoran's teammates looked at their captain in sheer amusement and some amazement. They had never seen their captain smile, and now here he was, hugging a girl with the biggest grin they had ever seen. They stood there, their mouths open wide in surprise.
Sakura's teammates, on the other hand, were giggling like crazy from the top steps. Tomoyo videotaped the whole event with an smirk in her lips, probably thinking on how she was going to name this shot. They descended the stairs slowly. They too, were going to take practice in the soccer field, in preparation of tomorrow's game. Tokyo High VS Seijou High. This was the biggest game of the whole season. Tokyo High was one of the most capable High Schools referring to soccer, and this time, Seijou was going to try to beat them. This game, they were going to show Tokyo High who had the best team, and the best captain.
"I missed you." Sakura whispered sweetly in Syaoran's ear. He chuckled. "I missed you, too." He replied. He nuzzled her ear.
Then, finally, after two minutes of recovering of the surprise, the males reacted.
"Wow! Nice catch Li!"
"That's our captain!"
And then, another thing came.
Wolf calling.
Syaoran was about to answer them verbally, but then he heard Sakura giggling. He looked at her with a tender smile. She smiled back at him.
And then...
"Come on, Sakura! Kiss him!" That was Chiharu. She secretly was dying to see them kiss. They were such a perfect couple. She wished she had a boyfriend like him. Yamazaki was such an immature boyfriend, but then again, maybe that was why she liked him in the first place...
Sakura didn't want to disappoint her friend. She took a step closer to him and stepped on her toes to get to him. In response, Syaoran closed his eyes and leaned closer.
More wolf calls.
More shouts of "You go girl!"
And they leaned closer. The world outside suddenly didn't mattered at all.
Sakura parted her lips and caught his upper lip with hers. Syaoran willingly let her do it. She smiled at the feel of his warm lips on hers. She tasted them. They tasted sweet. Like sweet, warm chocolate on a cold day. The kiss that at first started tender, grew passionate as the lovers forgot the world around them, and only them and their gentle caresses remained.
Syaoran felt, with his eyes closed how she pulled his lips with her own. It felt so good to let go of control. He always had the control of everything, he had been raised like that. He had the control and never let anyone had it. But now that she had it... it felt so good. Now, she was his boss. She said "jump" and he asked "how high." He enjoyed it. He really enjoyed it. He felt how she slipped her tongue into his parted lips, tasting him. He wrapped his arms around her back and pressed her against his chest. His heart was beating faster and faster with each passing second. He felt the adrenaline flow through all his body. His blood coursed his veins with incredible quickness.
Sakura moved her hands from his neck to his chest. They could have gone like this for hours if her lungs hadn't started to burn. She unwillingly let go. He did the same, reluctantly. She didn't move away immediately, instead, she found herself breathing against his skin. His smell relaxed her. He smelled like autumn and sandalwood. She loved his smell. She could see herself smelling him like this every single day of the rest of her life.
Suddenly, she remembered where she was. She looked around with searching eyes, and she found all her girlfriends looking at her. She blushed fiercely. She was so embarrassed she did something that only embarrassed her more. She buried her burning hot face on her boyfriend's chest.
Syaoran, too, looked around. When he saw all his teammates looking intently at him, he gulped. Knowing that he would never hear the end of it in the following days. That didn't keep him from unconsciously putting an arm on his girlfriend's back when she buried her face in his chest.
-*-*-*-*-
"Okay boys! Let's play!" Syaoran encouraged his teammates. The most important game in the whole history of Seijou High was about to start. He didn't want to lose. He wasn't used to lose. Never in his life was he used to lose. And definitely he was not losing in soccer, his favorite sport.
Tokyo High team was already there, talking. Syaoran looked around and inspected their surroundings. The crowd was already gathering to see the game. Today was a no-school day thanks to this important game. Obviously, Seijou wanted their team to win.
His gaze stopped at the platform where the cheerleaders were supposed to be. He didn't find them there. He frowned in confusion. They were supposed to be there already, the game was about to start.
He shrugged. Maybe they were planning and spectacular entrance. It was very possible, considering Tomoyo was their "manager", even if cheerleaders weren't supposed to have a manager. But Tomoyo always managed to convince everyone in what she wanted.
He used his aura to search for her. He stretched his magical senses. And, indeed, she was somewhere within the general area of the field. He felt a smile come to his lips. Her aura was bouncing around in anticipation. She seemed to cover the whole aura. He couldn't resist the temptation to brush her aura with his own. Her aura responded to his immediately, not wanting to let go. They intermingled and intertwined peacefully. The field seemed to be covered by pink and green.
-*-*-*-*-*-
Sakura felt his warm aura brush hers. She shivered pleasantly and a contented and satisfied smile came to her lips. She didn't want to let go of the feeling of security he gave her. The game and the other cheerleaders suddenly forgotten.
Tomoyo, as always, had planned an spectacular entrance for the Seijou Cheerleaders. Tomoyo had heard the Tokyo Cheerleaders were coming too and, probably, she wanted to impress the city girls.
Sakura hadn't complained. After all, Tomoyo always had done a good job about it all. Ever since she and Eriol had taken over the student presidency, she had taken care of absolutely everything. They both did a very good job with it all. They took care of everything in school, from the representative sport teams, to the administration of Balls and other important events. Everybody was amazed by their great work so far.
Syaoran still had his aura wrapped around her like a warm blanket in a snowing winter day. It felt so good, Sakura had a very hard time coming back to reality and her responsibility to the cheerleading team.
-*-*-*-*-
Daidouji Tomoyo, the dense Card Mistress' best friend, had something very... Tomoyo-like to do. She had to put to action her newest plan. She smiled mischievously at the astounding effects this plan might have.
Eriol had helped, as always. He could have the best of ideas when it came to playful and not really harmful torture. Besides, this plan could help them win. And winning this game was very important.
Tomoyo frowned when some thoughts came to her head. Tokyo High had very tricky players. Never outside the rules, but never really in. And their captain was the most dangerous player they had to take care of. Konda Kogitsune was one of the best soccer players in all Japan. He was well known for his fierceness and tricky strategies in game. There was no coincidence his name meant "Little Fox."
Tomoyo smiled again. It looked like Li Syaoran, the Little Wolf, had found his match. Or maybe not. Everything depended on today's match. She was sure Li wouldn't like what she was planning. That made it even funnier.
The plan was simple. The fact that she was student president made it so much easier to pull. The plan, of course, involved her adored Sakura, and the fierce Little Wolf. She smiled at a thought. Their expressions would be worth two million yens and she was going to videotape the whole scene. The plan, if it went like she wanted to, would allow her to videotape one more kiss.
-*-*-*-*-
Eriol was oh so enjoying his part of the plan. Yeah, it was a very nice part of the plan. Torturing his cute descendant was very enjoyable for him.
"So, Li? Are you ready for the match?" The reincarnation of Clow Reed asked his direct descendant.
Syaoran looked at him from his position doing some warm-ups. He looked at him with his usual glare. "I'm ready." He said flatly. Eriol smiled his innocent grin in response to his glare.
"That's good. I'm sure you'll be more than eager to win this match." He said with double meaning. Of course, Li didn't know about is plan, so this double meaning went unnoticed to him.
Syaoran shrugged. "Not really. This is like any other match for me." It was true. Syaoran didn't play to win. He played to play. Winning was just a consequence.
"I'm sure. Maybe you'll change your mind after the announcement Tomoyo and I have to make." He said while he walked away.
Syaoran narrowed his eyes in his directions. He was sure those two had nothing good between hands. He would have to be prepared. He shrugged it off and continued to do his warm ups.
-*-*-*-*-
Finally! The moment of the announcement was here! Tomoyo was excited, to say the least. Eriol was at her side in the high platform, where all announcements and awards were given. That was the place where the commentator stood, too. And Eriol was going to make the comments this game, which made him smile in the most mysterious way.
Daidouji Tomoyo took the microphone from the table at her side. She tapped it with her index finger to see if it was working. It was.
"Hello, minna-san! Ready for an exciting game!?" Tomoyo called. Her voice was heard throughout all the field thanks to the amplifiers.
Cheers were heard among the crowd. The cheerleaders, who now stood on their place after the promised spectacular entrance (there were fireworks and smoke), were the ones that shouted and jumped the most.
"Nice to hear that, minna-san! Ready for some action!?" She asked the crowd again. It responded with more cheers of encouragement.
"I'll make this game so more exciting for you!" Tomoyo was starting to go on with the plan. Murmurs of confusion made themselves audible. Tomoyo grinned at their reaction.
Sakura and Syaoran listened attentively to Tomoyo's words. Some fears were woken up in their hearts as they remembered their friends' mysterious grins.
"Everybody knows our captain cheerleader!?" She asked. The gathered crowd responded with a "Yeah!"
Sakura's heart did a somersault. What was going on? What was Tomoyo planning? Her instinct told her she wasn't going to like this. Syaoran's heart, too, was beating fast, while he glared to his two friends' direction.
"Everybody knows the captain of our soccer team!?" Eriol asked through the mike he had just gotten. "Yeah!" They responded again.
Sakura's and Syaoran's heart skipped a beat. They knew they loved to torture them. But this was getting to much. The captain of the Tokyo High listened to this weird happenings with an indifferent look. He came to play soccer, not to see some stupid show.
"You know they are going out!?" Tomoyo asked evilly to the crowd.
Sakura and Syaoran felt hot blushes appear on their cheeks. What was the whole point of this? Embarrass them till they couldn't move?
There were some groans and complains from the gathered people, but most were shouts of "Yeah!" and "Kawaii!" There were some giggles, too. They were looking at the embarrassed couple, no doubt.
Konda Kogitsune's attention got caught by some beautiful girl. A cheerleader that had a very red face. She appeared to be ashamed of something. He grinned. Maybe this game wasn't going to be a total waste of time. He could get a good catch by the end of this day.
"We have a proposition to make, Kinomoto Sakura and Li Syaoran!" Eriol called with an innocent smile plastered on his face. He was looking directly to his embarrassed descendant.
Syaoran turned sharply toward Eriol. A proposition? He sensed he was not going to like this "proposition." He probably would end doing it anyway.
"Okay! Here is the deal!" Tomoyo completed. "It's very simple, actually. And I'm sure you two would never refuse." She looked pleadingly to Sakura, who didn't know how to react. "The Captain of the winner team gets to kiss the Captain Cheerleader, Kinomoto Sakura! The loser gets nothing!" She ended.
Sakura looked at her best friend with open wide eyes. Sometimes she wondered why Tomoyo was her best friend. But all the crowd was cheering in agreement, while Sakura and Syaoran stood frozen in place. There was no problem in kissing Sakura. No, not at all, the problem was, what if they lost? He was not willing to let anyone kiss Sakura, and Sakura would never kiss someone else that wasn't Syaoran. But it seemed that everybody had decided for them.
Konda Kogitsune was very willing to accept the deal. He had nothing to lose and much to win. The girl was very beautiful, from what he could see. And this could make the catch so much easier.
Suddenly, he frowned. So, this girl, was dating someone? And this someone was the captain of the other team?
He grinned. No matter, he would be able to crush him to the pavement. Easy task, really. He had no match. This Li Syaoran was way below his level.
-*-*-*-*-
"What the hell d'you think you're doing? Huh, Hiragisawa?" Syaoran asked fiercely to the reincarnation of Clow Reed. Actually, he had him grabbed by the neck oh his shirt and was looking directly into his eyes. They were arguing in a gathering room in the basement of the stadium-like field. Syaoran was not happy with this new happenings. He knew he was not going to loose, but being under unnecessary pressure was not of his very liked by him.
Sakura grabbed his arm and pulled him. He unwillingly let go of Eriol. She looked at him pleadingly. "Syaoran, that was uncalled for." She chided. Syaoran "Hmph"ed cutely and turned away from the group. Sakura didn't let go of his arm, but didn't pull him back.
She frowned at her two friends. "Why did you do that? You know I would never kiss anyone that wasn't Syaoran, specially if I don't know him." She was looking directly into Tomoyo's eyes, and she didn't look very happy.
"I'm sorry, Sakura." Tomoyo apologized. "I didn't know you were going to take it that way. I'll go outside this moment and tell them it was all a fake." Tomoyo said. She turned around to leave when Sakura grabbed her arm. "No, Tomoyo. Is OK we will do it." Sakura said, while she gulped. She couldn't believe she was doing this.
Tomoyo's face lightened with a 1000 watt smile. "That's so wonderful!"
"What? No way!" Syaoran said from behind them. Eriol took care of him.
"What, cute descendant? Afraid you might loose?" He taunted him. He knew the best way to get to Li was through his pride. It worked amazingly well.
"I never loose." He said fiercely. Eriol grinned. Everything went as planned.
"Then, what are you afraid of?" Eriol asked further, knowing full well what his reaction was going to be.
Syaoran took a menacing step forward, only Sakura's hand on his arm kept him from hurting Eriol. "I'm afraid of nothing!"
"Then, are you going to do it or not?"
"I'm in!"
Eriol nodded. It was so easy to fool his descendant.
Sakura and Syaoran went outside hand in hand. Syaoran was muttering something about friends and enemies and what were they for.
Eriol smiled at Tomoyo. He offered his arm to her, which she gladly accepted and went outside.
To be continued...
