Trick or Treat

Ok. This is my FIRST CCS fic. Unfortunately I have to base this off of the American dub and they haven't gotten very far episode wise. I think that the fire card is the newest ep but I'm not sure. These stupid baka american dubbers haven't gotten anything new yet and the oldest episode is when Syaoran came or maybe it was the shadow card but I can't remember. Anyway I won't have Eriol or any newer episode characters or any new info which really sucks. Once again: Stupid baka american dubbers.

Disclaimer: Riiight like I own CCS. I don't even speak Japanese and the only scentence I know is Ai sheteru an that's only three words in english. Not to mention the fact that my spelling in the english language is probably worse than my spelling in Japanese. Thus bringing me to something else: *spooky music* BEWARE OF THE HORRID SPELLINGS, GRAMMER ERRORS AND TYPOS OF CATSEYE TATSUTAHIME RABERBA WASHU-OHKI MAXWELL!!! (And so far that's just the first part of my name ^_^.) Addintional warnings: Forewarning of two scentences that horribly rhyme even though I didn't mean it and there's planned sap in the other chapters. And there are still clow cards here and there, I guess their like rogue cards or just assume that they're not under control and escape from time to time but they're not a big part of the story anyhow. Well enough with me borin blabber get to readin!

"Syaoran!"

Sakura bladed up to him nearly out of breath. Somehow he had managed to get rather close to his house in a very short amount of time.

"Syaoran wait up! I don't want to use a clow card just to catch up to you ya know."

"Make it fast Sakura, I'm dead tired and exams are next week. I have to study. There isn't much time between catching clow cards at night, school and soccer practice. But you wouldn't know about studying would you judging from your last grades."

Sakura pouted at his last comment. He always did that when he was cranky nowadays. It was just study, study, meuseum trip for 'fun', study, card capture, threaten Tomoyo, study and was she forgetting something? Oh yes - study. But she was still his friend, bored as she was with him sometimes. At least Yamazaki was entertaining with his little 'facts' here and there. And then Chiharu added to this but that was another story. She preferred those four long years ago when he was still so serious but they did have a good time...more or less. Nearly being lost forever in a maze for example, was not fun back then. Three years ago he started to lighten up a bit. Two years ago they were all the best of carefree friends who now had fun picking up the clow cards here and there. But this year...Sakura understood that doing well in the eighth grade was important for highschool and all but Syaoran was taking it a bit too far although that was only to be expected with serious Syaoran. She sighed and looked around.

"I think it would be better if we talked at your place." She smiled slyly "There may be spies around here if you know what I mean."

She winked at Syaoran's confused face. She saw the slight pink tinge in his face gradually getting darker and looked away so as not to embaress him further. He nodded and looked away himself. He tried to occupy himself with something so that he didn't get a nosebleed. A rustle in the bushes and the constant words 'Dame' and 'Kuso' being heard from them did just the trick. Probably Tomoyo. He wished that she had a boyfriend so that he could video tape her instead. Despite what people said, revenge was a bitter sweet thing.

They arrived at Syaoran's apartment building and he swung open the door. He was probably the only eigth grader on earth that had his apartment mostly to himself. Meiling had to go back home again so he didn't have to worry about her coming in and glaring at Sakura like a mad dog. Sakura looked around and she removed her roller blades and started to take of her jacket which she held in her hand for a while. He looked at her suddenly realizing that he should probably take her jacket and offer her something. He wasn't exactly used to having Sakura in his home or anyone for that matter. She walked over to the couch and sat down still looking around and his little place. Frankly he didn't find it that amazing. A few books on magic here and there, the lasin board, a few miscellaneous half finished mixtures, rare artwork here and there as well as a few training devices and swords. Not much to marvel at.

"Down to buisness Syaoran. At least there are no spies here though somehow I wouldn't even be suprised if Tomoyo-chan had your placed bugged already."

"Huh, so what did you want to talk about. But I don't tutor if that's what your wondering" he did one of his rare smiles to show that he was kidding. There was no possible way Sakura would want some privacy to tell him that. It had to be something gossipy if she didn't want Tomoyo to hear.

"Ok you know how Tomoyo, Chiharu, Naoko, Rika and sometimes even Yamazaki tease us right?" she asked rather plainly but with a slight humor in her voice.

"Well yes." he answered looking at the clock to hide is blush again.

"Now my dear Syaoran here is my plan" she said as she put her hand on his knee and moved closer to him on the couch which didn't manage to make him feel any better.

Tests. Exams. Study he repeated over and over in his mind until he could look her straight in the eye without looking like a tomato or messing up his shirt. That's exactly why he had to busy himself with studying lately. He kind of got to like Sakura, more each year of knowing her, certainly more within the last year. Busying himself with something would kept him from turning into one of those guys who drooled everytime they heard her name. Unfortunately some of the girls who he didn't know too well did the same thing toward him but Syaoran was not the one to join the crowd. She wasn't either. Maybe that's why he liked her. He really tried not to think about it. Maybe if he was lucky she would stay for a while longer...or was it unlucky? He couldn't decide but either way he would only daydream for an hour after she left anyhow. He already memorized the textbooks front to back and there was no use looking for love potions or something in his magic books. Even if it was there he didn't want to resort to that, it was a dishonest magic which he wanted nothing to do with. He half listened to Sakura's plan, nodded in the right places and caught the chances to steal a stare into her beautiful emerald green eyes. She started to come to an end to his mispleasure.

"So basically you're saying that we should give the people what they want huh? One question though, what happens when they start teasing us about being a couple?" he asked, somewhat intrigued by the idea.

"That's simple. For one thing we'll never officially be a couple, just lots of flirtings here and there, both say that we like each other but make up some kind of excuse or something, you're not so dull that you can't think up something are you Syaoran?" she grinned broadly and continued. "That should make them anxious. If we get tired of the whole thing a tragic break up which neither of us shall have the heart to talk about later but we still want to go on with our lives. I call that one the last act.

"Hmmm. Not too bad. Yamazaki and Chiharu aren't hard but ah what about Tomoyo. She'll just humiliate us with her belovèd little camera. She'll be screaming 'how kawaii' either way."

Sakura giggled at his adorable little imitation of Tomoyo-chan when he said how kawaii. Closed eyes, hands clasped, highish voice and everything. They thought in silence for a while after that. Sakura got up and checked outside Syaoran's door after the silence became a little creepy. She didn't feel right in the same room with Syaoran, so close together on the couch. She may have done something that would make him hate her afterwards. She opened the door and sighed at her friend standing near the door grinning.

"Funny to see you here Tomoyo-chan."

"Yup a complete and very odd coincidence. Amazing how the paths of people cross..."

"OUT! Tomoyo O-U-T!"

"But I'm not even in to get out Sakura."

"Then get away from the door."

Tomoyo tried to duck under Sakura's arm to see what was going on inside. She found Syaoran blocking the entrance. He glared at her.

"Oh fine. I guess I'll just leave you two lovebirds alone."

"TOMOYO!!!" Sakura yelled after her best, crazy yet best, friend who was currently backing up toward the escalator.

"All the more reason to put the plan through?" Syaoran asked walking Sakura back inside and closing the door behind them.

"Yeah. Amazing that it still hasn't gotten on my nerves yet."

"Amazing is right. But you know, through Tomoyo's little rantings, she gave me an idea."

"Oh really?" Sakura put her chin in her hands.

"No. I just had the urge to smash that little camera of hers."

Sakura laughed and laughed even harder when Syaoran tried to assure her that he was totally serious.

"Syaoran you're a genius!" Sakura exclaimed and jumped to her feet and stood in front of him. "We can sabatage the camera. That would be the worst possible torture for Tomoyo-chan."

"And then brag about everything she missed?" Syaoran asked and grinned broadly to Sakura's nod.

"But I should leave you to your studying now. I didn't mean to take so long."

"Oh it's no problem" he said frankly "I've memorized the books front to back...and some extra curricular work for next year."

"Syaoran, you're just plain sad."

"That maybe true...ok I have to agree."

"I bet you...oh a fifty bucks that something more is going to happen than just getting a bit of revenge."

"All right, I'll take you up on that one. Deal?"

"Deal. I'll see you tomorrow" she said with a final smile and decided to add with a wink "Syaoran bear"

"And thus we began Act one Sakura blossom. We can get at the camera tomorrow. I kind of have all night to come up with a plan." he said and gave her a big grin.

She opened the door quietly and left. Sakura suddenly jumped when she saw Tomoyo who also did not expect to see Sakura walk out so suddenly.

"Umm...what happened?" Tomoyo asked with a shrug and a sheepish grin.

Act 1 Sakura thought to herself. "Nothing at all." she said as dreamily as she could fake, leaving Tomoyo, who was taking in her words, mouth opened and anxious for something else, behind.

Ok, so how is it? I need 10 reviews or so before I do Chapter 2. I have other fics to work on so by the time I get those I'll be done with others and devote time to this. Oh yes and if you have non-yaoi romance or humor fics of your own, say what type in the review and I'll check them out. I watch every anime on american television I think so I'll understand them all right. ^_^. Ja ne!
