Chapter 5: Finally the true.

The bottle turned really fast and after a while it finally came to a complete stop, top pointing at Tomoyo and bottom at Syaoran.

Her smile grew wider as she asked the question. "Truth or dare?"

Syaoran thought about it for a moment, he was alredy tired of the dares so decided to change a little and go with the truth.

"Truth." He said without knowing the consecuences of his choice.

"Well, now talking really serious." She said with a hint of mistery in her voice. "Li-kun have you ever been in love? I mean... really really in love?"

Syaoran was suprise at her question. He was shocked and really didn't knew what to answer. He blushed like crazy when all his friends stared at him, waiting for his answer.

"Well... I... I... err.." He sputtered out.

"Come on, Li-kun... answer the question." Chiharu said.

"Yeah, It's just a yes or no question." Yamasaki added.

Syaoran looked around and his glare caught Sakura's eyes staring straight at him, fact that made him blush harder.

"Well... yeah, I have been in love." He finally answered looking straight at the floor.

"Oooohhhhhhh...." Everyone cried making him almost explode in embarrassment.

"Really?? How kawaii!!! Who's the girl??" Tomoyo asked smiling happily.

"Hey! It's only one question at the time!!!" Syaoran shot back.

"Fine..." Tomoyo said when he spinned the bottle.

~5 minutes later~

"Li-kun, truth or dare?" Asked Naoko.

"Truth." He said without even thinking.

"Who are you in love with??"

"Ohhhhhhh...." Cried everyone again, making him blush again.

"WHAT?!" Syaoran cried.

"Oh, you heard me! Just answer the question!!" Replied Naoko.

"Well... I... I kinda of.... I mean..."

"Oh, come on... just say it... or do you want me to say it for you." Eriol said with his evil grin.

Syaoran simply shot him a 'don't-you-even-dare' glare. "Like you knew..."

"I do know." Eriol replied ignoring his look.

"Shut up, Hiiragizawa!!" He cried.

"Well, are you gonna say it or not?" Asked Tomoyo evilly.

"I... it's... it's Eriol."

"WHAT?! You're so lying!!" Cried Eriol.

"I'm telling the truth!" Syaoran said back.

"Yeah right..." Murmured Yamasaki.

"Come on, Li-kun... just say it! Unless you don't want to say it because the girl is here..." Chiharu said making him blush while the rest of the group sent ohhhh's.

"I alredy said it! I'm in love with Eriol..."

"Wait a minute..." Naoko cried. "Were you in love or are you in love?"

"I am... in love." He answered while his cheeks turned red.

"With who??" Asked Naoko again.

"Sorry... you change the question!!!" Syaoran shouted.

"Damn it!"

~10 minutes later~

"Who are you in love with in present days??" Asked Yamasaki after a long while thinking the question.

Syaoran was suprise. He wasn't suprised with the question at all... what suprised him was that Yamasaki asked him the question! He had to admit that he was more afraid of Yamasaki's dares than questions, so he thought there wouldn't be a problem with saying truth.

"Why don't you just drop it with the subject??" Syaoran cried.

"Why don't you just say who it is??" Asked Rika.

"Because I alredy said it and you don't believe me... it's Eriol!"

"Drop it with that!" Eriol said sending him a glare.

"Why don't you just say it? Is it because the girl is here? Is it a girl?" Asked Naoko scratching her head.

"Yes, it's a girl... and she's here..." He finally said blushing like crazy.

"Then confess your fealings!!" Yelled Tomoyo looking for her camera around the living room. Somewhere in the middle of the whole Truth or dare/Spin the bottle game she lost her camera.

"Yeah! Confess!!" Cried Chiharu.

"No way!" Yelled Syaoran not bothering to hide his obvious blush.

"Give me a break! Say it or I'll pinch your butt!" Eriol said with an evil grin.

"You pinch my butt and I'll kiss you! That'll prove to everyone that I love you!!"

"Don't you dare kiss me!!" Cried Eriol putting Tomoyo in the middle of them. Problably for the first time, Syaoran actually freaked him out.

"Li-kun what's the worst thing that could happen? Nothing, so just say it!" Yamasaki said trying to convice him.

"All right... I'll say it." Syaoran finally said with resignation. He traveled his eyes around the circle of friends. To his right were Tomoyo and Eriol, and to his left was Chiharu, next to her was Rika, then Naoko, Yamasaki and finally the girl of his dreams, Sakura, who only participaded in the game 'convice Syaoran to tell his fealings' by just looking.

He stared at Sakura for a while before opening his mouth to talk again. "The person that I'm in love with is..." He lowered his glance and took a deep breath. After gathering his courage, he looked up again and stared at her beautiful green eyes. "... it's you, Sakura."

The whole room fell in silence waiting for a reaction... for Sakura's reaction! Now she was the main center of atention in the whole room.

Syaoran did not dare to look at her, so he simply focus on the floor. On the other hand, Sakura was shocked, she didn't know who to react or what to say, or what to even look at, so she got up and left.

When the door closed everyone turned their atention to Syaoran again. He let out a sad sigh, he never expected that Sakura would actually reacted that way so decided not to go after her. Instead he got up from his place, walked over to his bedroom and with a loud sound he closed the door.

* * *

Next day, Syaoran woke up around two o'clock in the afternoon. It was saturday, so there was no problem of waking up early to go to school.

He washed up himself, but decided to stay in his boxers, after all he wasn't expecting company. His stomach was growling so decided to make himself breakfast... or lunch.

Syaoran walked up to the kitchen but stopped in the middle of the living room when something caught his atention...

On the floor, Eriol was lying on top of Yamasaki in a very very weird position and on top of his head was the cat (Spooky) with the dead frog on his mouth, of course both of them were asleep.

Tomoyo, Rika and Naoko were sleeping on the couch and in another couch laid Chiharu with the pizza boy, who, by the way, had Eriol's glases in one pocket.

Syaoran only groaned and then continued to walk to the kitchen ignoring the whole thing when suddenly the phone began ring.

It took him a while to actually find it and when he did he answered in a sleepy tone. "Moshi moshi?"

Nobody answered, he could only hear silence in the other side.

"Hello?" He asked again.

Still silence, instead of saying anything, the other person just hang up the phone.

He slowly hang up his phone, wondering who it was... something deep inside told him that it was problably Sakura, but she didn't have a reason to call him, so his washed away his thoughts and continued to walk to the kitchen.

* * *

In only a couple of hours he alredy cleaned up his apartment and sweeped away the people in his living room.

He was about to lay down to rest a little and think about what he should do now, when the doorbell rang.

He groaned again and walked over to the door, but when he opened it nobody was there.

He took a few steps outside to see if there was anyone, but inmediatly the door closed, locking him outside in only his boxers.

"Oh, shit!!" He cried. "Can I have any worst luck today??!!"

"Don't be so pessimistic..." Murmured someone behind him.

He froze when he recognize her voice. It couldn't be her, it was problably his imagination playing bad tricks on him, but when he turned around to see who it was, Sakura appear in sight wearing a nice shade of red on her cheeks.

He wonder why for a moment, and then remembered that he was only wearing his boxers, fact that also made him blush in embarrassment.

"Uhh... hi." He said trying not to look at her.

"Hi..."

"I... I would invite you in, but I'm kinda... locked out."

"I can see that." She said and then searched for something in her hair. "Maybe this can help."

She handed him a hair pin and smiled a little. He reached out for it and blushed harder when his fingers came in contact with hers. Quickly he cleared his throat and turn around to open the door.

After a few tries, he finally opened it and invited her to come in.

"Wow, you cleaned up the apartment really fast." She said once inside.

"Yeah... I didn't have much to do..."

They fell in silence a while and then he asked in a soft voice, not wanting to sound rude. "So... what are you doing here?"

"I... I dunno." She said not looking at him directly.

"Oh"

"I guess I needed to see you..." She said blushing more than before.

"Why?"

"I dunno."

And silence came again. He looked around the room and finally stoped at her. Sakura was looking at him with curiosity, which made him nervous.

"What?" He asked with a confused look on his face.

"Hey... I did leave a hickie." She said smiling.

He chuckled and then added. "Yeah, you did... and you also left your teeth mark there."

"Sorry..." She said blushing.

"It's ok..."

"Syaoran-kun..."

"Yeah?"

"Are you... really...?"

He began to feel his cheeks warm, sign that he was blushing again. For a moment his heart stopped.... he wasn't sure what he was going to answered to Sakura if she asked him if he really was in love with her.

"What?" He asked in a weak tone.

"... are you really... not a virgin?"

A huge sweatdropped formed in his forehead, he couldn't believe that out of all things she could ask him, she actually asked for that!

"Yeah... I lost it with Eriol-- I mean, not with Eriol, but in the same day... and place... you know what I mean..."

"Yeah, but... I thought Eriol lost it with Tomoyo..."

"I never said that Tomoyo wasn't there."

"... oh?"

He rolled his eyes. It was hard enough to only be wearing his boxers in front of Sakura, so he didn't wanted to go into details about the subject. "Nevermind."

They stayed in silence again for a while. It was quite obvious that they were both tense and very unconfortable with being alone. Syaoran had a clear reason for that, but Sakura wasn't sure about anything anymore.

"Well... I gotta go." She said.

"Oh? Ok..." He said opening the door for her.

"Bye.." And then she walked out.

"Bye." He said closing the door behind him.

Syaoran leaned agaist the door and closed his eyes. He stayed like that for a while and then without even thinking about it, he put on some black pants and rushed off downstairs.

* * *

Sakura was about to get out of the building when she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Sakura!!!!"

She turned around and saw Syaoran running up the her like he was being followed by a dog or something.

"What happen?" She asked worried.

He was breathing hard, but his eyes were locked on hers.

Before she could say anything he held her face in his hands and quickly, but gently, bent down and covered her lips with his.

Sakura's eyes popped wide open when she felt Syaoran's lips brushing agaist hers, but soon relaxed and melted into the kiss by pressing foward.

Syaoran kissed her solftly, and when she returned the kiss, he deppen it. She parted her lips to invite him futher, invitation that he took while he caressed her soft cheek.

He broke away slowly after a while and took a few steps away from her.

"I'm sorry... but it's something I had to do, and I've been waiting for a long time to do it."

"It's ok..." Replied Sakura. "I actually enjoyed it... ahem... you're a really good kisser."

"Uhh... thanks?" Syaoran said, he placed his hands on her shoulders and took a good look at her to try to guess her thoughts, "But I need to know..... did you feel anything at all?"

"Well... yeah, I did feel something, but it's something that I've been feeling for a long time..." Sakura said trying to hide hide her blush.

"But... w-what is it that you feel?" Syaoran asked, looking kind of desperate.

"I felt like... I had butterflies in my stomach, and my heart started pounding really really fast, and my legs melted like jelly, and I was blushing... a lot, in case you didn't notice."

"I did notice..."

"Then, do you know what kind of feeling is that??" Sakura asked, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yeah..." Syaoran replied "... it's the same feeling that I have for you."

"Oh..."

"So that means that you...??"

"I what?" She asked. Sakura knew perfectly well what he was talking about, but was pretending she didn't knew.

"You....???"

A smiled formed on her lips and then she wrapped her hands around him and gave him the best answer she could think of... a kiss.

Syaoran was shocked at first, but then he held her waist and kissed her back.

After a while, they separated and Sakura whispered into his ear:

"I love you, Syaoran."

He smiled to himself, knowing that his day wasn't going to be as bad as he thought it was. It actually turned out really good.
