Chapter 6: Just a little push.
After the presentation, there were still many activities so the girls decided to have a little fun after a dance like that.
"Sakura!!" Cried someone behind her.
She turned around in time to see a small yellow thing fly toward her with a big smile in his face.
"Kero!! What are you doing here?!" She whispered trying to hide him.
"I couldn't miss your presentation... and what a presentation.... you did great!"
"You think so?"
"Yeah! Hey, I wasn't the only one who was impress..."
"Hoe? You weren't alone?"
"Nope, I was with Clow, that chinesse brat... and a guy that had his eyes closed all the time..."
"Nani?? Yamasaki-kun didn't saw you, right??"
"How could he? His atention was somewhere else." Answered Eriol walking up to her.
"Eriol-kun! Eh.. what do you mean by that?" She asked looking a little confuse.
"Well, let's put it this way... there were better thing to look in that theater than a sealed beast from a magic book."
In responce Sakura only blushed.
"Say, do you know where's Tomoyo-chan?"
"Hai, she's in the dressing room changing her clothes."
"Arigato. I'll see you later." And with that he took off.
"Hey, Sakura... can we go and get some sweets... I'm starving!" Kero pleaded.
"Ok... I'm also hungry."
"Dancing like that can make anybody hungry..." Murmured Syaoran who was right behind her.
"HOOEEE!!! Stop doing that!!!"
"Gomen, I didn't mean to scare you... again." Syaoran said blushing. "Ahem... well, I just wanted to say...errr... good show!"
"You saw it?"
"Hai, he was in the front row... I don't think he wanted to miss anything!" Kero answered for him.
"Shut up, you stuffed animal!" Yelled Syaoran wearing a nice shade of red on his cheeks.
"I'll show you a stuffed animal!!" Cried Kero before he started his transformation.
"WAIT! Don't transform here!! Why don't you go and get some candy like you wanted to!" Sugested Sakura.
"Ok, fine... but I'll get you for this one, chinesse brat!"
Syaoran watched him fly away and then he turned back to Sakura that was full red for one reason.
"You... you were in... the front row?" She asked looking to the floor.
"Ehh... h-hai..." Syaoran cleared his throat, took a deep breath and then said: "Sakura... I need to talk to you... can we go somewhere else?"
"S-sure..."
They were about to leave when suddenly a very very upset Touya came running to them, followed by Yukito who was trying to prevent a murderer.
"YOU CHINNESE GAKI!!! Where are you taking my sister??!!!"
"Oh, great..." Murmured Syaoran with sarcasm.
"Onii-chan that's none of your bussiness!! I'm 16 years old alredy! I think I can go anywhere I want to now!!" Answered Sakura looking upset.
"And you! What the hell were you thinking when you got dress up like that??!!" Yelled Touya turning his atention to her little sister.
"HOE! You saw me??"
"Of course I saw you!! The whole damn school saw you!!"
"Well... I told you alredy! I'm big now, I can do anything I want to!!"
"Not while you still my little sister!!"
"Touya, why don't you calm down? Sakura's right, she has grown up... and so have you so stop acting like a neorotic big brother!" Yukito said trying to calm Touya.
"But I AM a neorotic big brother!"
"Well, you should stop being one! Now, come on, let's go get something to drink..." He said taking Touya away.
Sakura sighed in relieve, but when she turned around to Syaoran he wasn't there anyomore. *Oh, crap... nice going Touya...*
Syaoran was sitting under a tree away from the noises of the celebration and games there were having in the school. He had left somewhere between "Dress up like that??" or "neurotic big brother."
*Oh, man... why does Sakura has to have a stupid brother like Touya? He has ruined anything I ever tried with her. Hmm... I wonder if he has a sixth sense to that...??*
"You look a little confuse..." Sakura said looking down at him.
"Sakura!! How did you...??"
"Find you? Well, I guess I must know you a lot." She answered with a smile making him blush. "He, he, he... I just sensed your aura and followed you! Can I take a seat?"
"Sure." He said making space for her.
"Thank you!" And then she sat next to him. "Umm... you said that you wanted to talk to me about something..."
"Oh! That! It's... it's nothing.... forget about it."
"Oh, come on... tell me..." She asked with hurt puppy's eyes, which only meant that she was going to insist until he told her.
He couldn't help but to smile. He usually never smile, but for her he could do almost anything... anything except to tell her the true.*Why can't I just say it now?! She's right next to me... I just have to say it...*
"Is something bothering you, Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked trying to figure out why he had a worried expresion on his face.
"No!... well, actually yes..."
"Can I know what it is? I mean, we're friends you know... you can trust me, right?"
"Hai... well, you see.... there's this... ahem, this girl and..."
"Oh..." Sakura said looking a little dissapointed. She remembered all the times that Tomoyo had told her that Syaoran had feelings for her, but... what if that girl he was talking about was someone else?... what if he only liked her as a friend and nothing else?
"... and I can't seem to tell her what I feel for her. What do you think I should do?"
"I think that... um... you should tell her how you feel, I'm sure that she'll like you back. After all, you drive crazy almost every girl in school."
"Well, I didn't knew that..." He said blushing.
"Now you do!" She said smiling for him.
"Thanks, Sakura."
"Anytime."
It was beautiful night. There were stars shinning all around with a big round full moon. The perfect timing to tell her everything, but he had to gathered courage to say it.
"And, what about you?" He asked looking at the moon.
"Nani? What about me?"
"Well, you don't stay behind! You have your share of guys after you... Is there a lucky one in the bunch?"
"Actually there is..." She said trying to hide a blush.
"Can I know who it is?"
"WHAT?"
"Well I told you, it's fair enough that you tell me."
"I didn't asked you who it was! Well, if you tell me yours I'll tell you mine..."
"I asked you first!"
"Well, I'm not going to tell."
"What if I guess?"
"... ok... but only yes or no questions!" She shot back.
"Deal! Let's see now... do I know him?
"Yes."
"Is he in our school?"
"Yeah"
"In our same grade?"
"... hai..."
"Our class?
"Hai..."
"Is he tall?"
"Hmm... not to tall, not to short..."
"Is he taller than you?"
"Yeah."
"Taller than me?"
"No."
Syaoran thought for a moment before asking another question. "Is he a good student?"
"Depends."
"On what?"
"On which subject are we talking about."
"Well, what subject is he good at?"
"Yes or no questions, Syaoran-kun!"
"All right, all right... umm... is he good at sports?"
"Hai."
"Is he good in math?"
"Better than me, yes!"
"Is he good in music class?"
"Well, he says he sings..."
"Have you hear him sing?"
"No."
"Ok, is he a good cooker?"
"Hai, he's a great cooker!"
"What does he cooks?"
"Yes or no questions!!" Sakura said frowning.
"Sorry... ok, is he good in japanese?"
"... no..."
"He's not good in japanese?" He asked again getting a little confuse.
"No, he sucks!"
"Well, then... I take that he's not japanese, right?"
"Err... well... no..."
"Which leave us only to six students.... unless he's that american girl who sits in front of you in music class."
"Very funny, Syaoran!!"
"What happen to the kun?"
"Oh, sorry..."
"No, that's ok, I like it better that way." He said smiling.
"Ok, then... Syaoran it is." She said blushing a little.
"Thanks... well, as I was saying... so he's not japanese and it leaves only to six guys, not counting the american girl..."
"Drop it alredy! Oh, new rule... no names are allowed."
"Why?"
"Because I say so!"
"Fine! Is he from England?"
"And no countries allowed either."
"You do know that you're not being fair, right?"
"Hai, but you gotta play the rules or you don't play!"
"Fine, fine, fine... Does he wears glasses?"
"No, Syaoran, is not Eriol-kun!"
"And thank god for that."
"What is that supose to mean?"
"Nothing, forget it! Is he... umm... fat and likes chocolates?"
"No and yes."
"What is THAT supose to mean?!"
"Well, he's not fat, but he likes chocolates... a lot."
"So he likes chocolate... I guess we have something in common..."
"You have more in common that you think..." Murmured Sakura.
"What?"
"Nothing, go on!"
"Right... does he speaks spanish?"
"No."
"Does he likes to drink wine?"
"... hmm... well, that I don't know."
"Guess what?" He asked smiling.
"What?"
"We only have two guys left!"
"... hai..." She said blushing deeper.
"Is he from the land down under?"
"I thought we agree that there were no country names allowed!"
"I didn't said a country name."
"... well... you can't mention anything that has to do with the country's name!"
Syaoran sighed and continued. "Ok, does he likes koalas?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"Just answer!!"
"Well... I dunno..."
"Hey... you said that he was good at sport, right?"
"Hai."
"And that australian guy sucks in sports."
"....... hai......." She said not looking at him.
"Does he has long hair?"
"..... yeah."
"Long auburn hair?"
"........ yes..."
Syaoran smiled and then continued.
"Does he has brown eyes?"
"... hai.... ahem... you only have three questions left."
"Why?"
"Because it's a new rule."
"And I was just starting to have fun... ok, does he happen to be related to an old powerful sorcerer call Clow Reed that created the Clow Cards and which, nowdays, are own by a beautiful sorceress that has a lovely brother that calls him chinesse gaki?"
"... sometimes."
"What? Does he sometimes happen to be related with Clow Reed... etc, etc?"
"No, sometimes he calls him chinesse gaki... other times he just calls him plain stupid brat. Oh, and with that you only have one question left."
"That's not fair... but since we're playing with your rules here's my final question... does he happens to be sitting next to you right now?"
Sakura didn't answered. She just stared at him for a long time until he asked again.
"Are you there?"
"Oh! Sorry..."
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"You didn't answer me."
"Oh!... what was the question?"
"Does he happens to be sitting next to you in this very moment?" He asked with a serious look on his face.
Sakura blushed furiosly and then turning away, so she could not face him, she answered. "........ hai....... he happens to be sitting next to me this very moment."
Then silence fell upon them. Sakura did not dare to look at him directly so she quickly took a peek at him and try to guess his reaction.
He was serious, god knew what he was thinking about now.
"It's your turn."
"What?" Sakura asked looking at him confuse.
"It's your turn to guess... I alredy guessed yours."
"You... know... who it is?"
"Hai. Well, go on... ask me..."
Sakura was totally shocked. Wasn't he going to say anything to her? Anything at all?
"... ok... uummm... have I seen her?"
"Well, it depends."
"On what?"
"If you see yourself in a mirror."
"Oh, ok........... NANI?!?!"
"What?"
"What?"
"What??"
"What??"
"What??!"
"What??!"
"What??!!"
"Stop it, Syaoran!"
"You started!"
"You didn't answered my question!"
"Yes I did."
"Are you serious?" She asked blushing.
"Yeah..."
"Is it...... me?"
"Wow..."
"What?"
"You are good at guessing... that was fast."
Sakura just sat there blushing with a huge smile on her face.
"But... you guessed the wrong person."
"What do you mean?"
"You see... you didn't guessed the person I like."
"No?"
"No... you guessed the person I'm in love with."
*Oh, my god... OH, MY GOD!!!* Screamed Sakura's mind. "T-t-the... p-p-person you're in l-l-love with?!?!?!?" She sputtured out nervously.
"Yeah." He answered smiling.
Then silence fell upon them again. For a while neither of them spoke or even made a noise, until Sakura finally spoke again. "Then that means that you guessed the wrong person too."
"What?"
"You also guessed the person that I'm in love with..." And with that finally said, Sakura put her arms around him and locked their lips together.
For a moment Syaoran was shocked, he never expected that Sakura will actually kiss him. She was kissing him?!?!? That's when he reacted and kiss her back very softly.
At start it was just a light touch of lips and then it deepen into a full kiss, that they were waiting for a long time ago.
They stayed that way for a while and then she broke the kiss. Sakura sat back in her place with her cheeks burning like fire. Syaoran also wore a interesting shade of red in his cheeks.
"Arigato..."
Sakura turned to him confused.
"For what?"
"For taking a step I didn't dare to take. I love you, Sakura."
"I love you, Syaoran."
Syaoran bent down to kiss her again when suddenly he spoted a misterious red light hidden in a bush.
"Ok, you can come out, Tomoyo..." He said not suprise at all when she rised out of the bushes... what actually suprise him was the fact that Eriol was with her. What? Wait a minute... Eriol and Tomoyo spying on them?... no, that wasn't suprising.
"KAWAII! KAWAII!! THAT WAS SO KAWAII!!" Exclaimed Tomoyo with a huge smile on her face and camera on her hand.
"Guess that Lady Marmalede found her Joe... are you going to give it a go?" Asked Eriol with mistery as always.
"Nani?" Syaoran and Sakura answered in unison.
"Oh, Eriol... that's so mean!" Tomoyo cried.
"Hoe? What is he talking about?"
Tomoyo smiled and then whispered in Sakura's ear what he meant. Sakura's reaction was to blush like crazy and then she turned to Syaoran and blushed some more.
"What is it?" He asked looking at her a little confuse.
"Well... it's that..." And then she whispered into his ear the same thing that Tomoyo told her, fact that also made him blushed.
"Baka, Hiiragizawa!!" Yealled Syaoran.
"What? Am I lying?"
"SHUT UP!!" Sakura and Syaoran screamed together and then they turned around and left.
"Nice work, partner." Tomoyo said laughing.
"Hai, you did a great work convincing Sakura to do the dance and to dress up like that." Eriol said fixing his glasses on his face.
"I knew that would make Li-kun take that first move on her. And you didn't do so bad finding those front row seats."
"Thank you. Now shall we go and spy a little more, my Lady Marmalade?"
"Well of course, my Joe!" She said grabing his arm a running to catch on their friends.
