A door slowly opened and nothing is seen. Looks around
???: Down here! (The angry voice yelled.)
Looked at the ground and saw what looked like a talking white and purple spotted seal.
S.M: (Runs to him) Oh my god you are so cute I just love you..

Ch18
'First day back'
I woke up to the blaring of my alarm clock; I looked to see that it said 5:15. I forgot I set once when we were going to do something early in the morning but I forgot to reset it. I looked at where Syaoran should have been sleeping, but he wasn't there. I thought maybe he'd gone home but the bed looked slept in. As I was thinking that I felt a pair of arms circle my waist. I looked behind me to see Syaoran all dressed and ready for school. Why don't you get ready and we can walk to school together, I happily agreed. I grabbed some clothes out of a pile on the floor; this earned me an exasperated look from Syaoran. I giggled and gave him a kiss on his cheek as I walked past. I ran down stairs to the bathroom and put on our lovely school uniform. "These are so plain" I was complaining to myself. I went into the kitchen and found Syaoran eating some noodles that were in the fridge. I gave him a big hug then went to pour a glass of milk. All I had for breakfast was an omelet. Then I went and grabbed my school stuff, and secretly grabbed my art project, and put on my skates. And once Syaoran was ready we were on our way. I skated slowly so we'd be side-by-side; it was rather quiet on our walk to school. "You nervous at all?" I asked quietly. He stopped and looked at me for a moment, "I am. All the girls at school are in love with you and they'll all probably be envious of me for having the greatest guy in the whole school." I said with a smile on, making him blush. I started to skate again and continued towards school. By the time we got to school we still had about 20 minutes. "You want to go for a walk in the park?" I blushed and nodded. We went to my locker first. And put my skates away and my art project away. Then we went to the park. I sat on the swing and enjoyed the cool breeze. "You remember the first time you were here with me?" He blushed and nodded. "Did you like me back then?" I shyly asked. He looked away and nodded.
FLASHBACK
It was the summer going into the 5th grade. My brother and I were having a little party with family and friends. Everyone was there, all of my friends even Syaoran and of course Yukito. I decided that day that I was going to tell Yukito how I fell. We all decided to go to the mall and get some ice cream. But I noticed Syaoran wasn't having much fun so I asked him what was wrong. He just said that he had to go. I then asked Yuki if I could talk to him and he agreed. We left the mall and walked through the woods heading towards my house. We stopped and he was looking at a bunny that was hiding in the bushes. I blushed and smiled at him.
Sakura: Yuki, I- I have something I want to tell you (I managed to stutter out.)
Yukito: (He looked at me with that smile that made me lose the ability to form coherent sentences.) What is it Sakura?
Sakura: (I swore I felt my cheeks light on fire) I just wanted to tell you… to tell you
Yukito: (He put my hand n my shoulder, and tried to get me to look at him) Are you OK, Sakura?
Sakura: (I finally spoke but I was so nervous it came out a quiet whisper) I love you Yukito?
Yukito: (He gave me a funny look) I love you too, Sakura, You're my best friends sister.
Sakura: Yukito, I like you as more than a friend. (I managed to get out. I saw shock and pity in his eyes.)
Yukito: Sakura, (His voice lightened as if comforting a small scared child) I love you like a little sister. But my heart belongs to another.
Sakura: (Tears tried to fall but I wouldn't let them.) I'm sorry
Yukito: You don't have to tell me your sorry, You mean a lot to me but I don't love you in the way you say you love me.
Sakura: I- I understand. (I started to walk away I wanted to cry but didn't want him to know.) I'll see ya, (I whispered. I noticed the concerned look in his eyes as I walked away.)
Yukito: Sakura! (He yelled I stopped and partially turned towards him.) I'm so sorry. But, I know that someday you'll find someone that loves you. You'll see.
Once I was out of his sight I let the tears fall, and I took off towards the park. I wasn't watching where I was going and I bumped into someone. I apologized and quickly ran to the park that was up ahead. I ran t a swing and started crying. Until I felt a warm hand on my shoulder, I quickly looked up and saw someone I wasn't really sure right away because my vision was so blurry. I wiped my eyes and was surprised at who I found at my side. "Syaoran, what are you doing here?" he smiled and said you bumped into me and didn't say much so I came to see what's the matter. "Nothing" I muttered. "I seriously doubt that. You've been and still are crying." I gave in, "I just told Yukito-san how I feel about him," He looked at me for a moment. "I See, and I'm guessing it didn't go to well" I looked away from him, tears again falling at my eyes. "Can I ask you something?" "Mhmm" I heard him mumble. "Do you think anyone will ever love me?" I started crying again. He just kept looking at me I could feel it. He moved some hair out of my face and looked into my eyes. "Of coarse" was all he said. He hugged me, and comforted me. I soon found that I was no longer crying. I slowly got up and told him that I should be getting home. I was still a little wobbly so he offered to walk me home. I just started walking, and he caught up. He put his arm around me and we walked home that way. We got to my front door; he said bye to me. He gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead before he left.
END FLASHBACK
"I've loved you for a long time. And I'll love you for a long time to come." "Your smooth" I whispered as I gave him a kiss. He just smirked at me. "We'd better head back," I said. We headed back to school. And with a nervous look on both of our faces we entered the building. We still had a few minutes so we took our time getting to homeroom. We arrived in our classroom and quickly sat in our seats. We received a few weird looks from passers by. A few random girls approached me and asked if what they heard was true if I really was Syaoran's girlfriend. I just nodded and sweat dropped. Soon my friends came in looking like the living dead, I had to laugh at all of them. Ms. Mackenzie came in and asked if we all had a good vacation. She took attendance, and told us that we had a new student joining our school from England. He slowly came into the classroom and I looked at Tomoyo who looked at me with a blush blaring on her cheeks.
Ms. Mackenzie: Why, hello. Class his name is Hiiragizawa Eriol, some of you may know him from when he lived here years ago but for those of you who don't Eriol Why don't you tell us something about yourself.
Eriol: Hello as you know my name is Hiiragizawa Eriol I'm 13 but I'll be 14 soon. I came here from England originally to visit my friends Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran. But I've decided to move back here to stay. Or at least till college.
Ms. Mackenzie: That's nice Eriol, How are Ruby and Suppi doing? (She asked kindly?)
Eriol: They are just fine, happy to get rid of me. That way they won't get tortured, but that's what they think. (He finished with an evil grin)
Ms. Mackenzie: Since it's only Homeroom anyone have any questions for our new friend?
A bunch of hands went up. Eriol called on some random people.
Student: Do you have a girlfriend or anything back home.
Eriol: (Blushes lightly) Not exactly. I have a very beautiful, talented, sweet, kind and loving Fiancée, whom I am very much in love with. And she lives here in Japan.
Almost everyone's mouth dropped open when he said Fiancée. A bunch of girls sighed in defeat, and Tomoyo was bright red.
Student: who is she?
Eriol: I'll leave it up to her to say, when she feels that she's ready. I'm not saying anything.
The bell then rang declaring homeroom had ended.
Next was math, Syaoran walked me to my class and hugged me before we parted. I entered the classroom to see Ami, and Naoko with stars in their eyes as I walked in. I sat down and ignored them. I could see them out of the corner of my eye making kissy faces. A substitute teacher walked in followed by Eriol. Class your teacher is absent today so you will just be doing worksheets, and also you will have a new classmate Hiiragizawa Eriol. "Sit next to that girl" she said pointing at me. "Kinomoto Sakura" she said after she looked the seating chart. He sat down next to me and I waved happily at him.
Sakura: Hi Eriol, how are you doing?
Eriol: Fine, a little nervous girls keep asking me out and trying to get me to tell them about Tomoyo. (He whined.)
Sakura: You poor little I know what you mean though. Syaoran's the guy all the girls in school used to be in love wi…
The teacher was giving me an evil look so I gave Eriol an I'll finish after class look. He understood and took his notebook out. And started on the problems. I tried to work on them but I wasn't able to concentrate. Eventually the bell rang and I went over to Eriol and asked him what his next class was.
He said Science I told him that was my next class too, and we walked to Science. I personally rather liked Science class; I sat in my seat next to Mamoru and just stared off into space. And Eriol stood up in front of class waiting for the teacher. I noticed a hand in front of my face and I jumped not expecting it. I saw Syaoran standing in front of me then he sat down next to me and I of coarse blushed. "Why are you sitting there?" I asked confused. "I asked the kid if he'd swap with me, and he agreed." He answered playfully. "Why did you just sit in the empty seat behind me?" "I want to sit next to you for once." I smiled and went back to staring off into space. Until I felt an arm on my shoulders. "Sakura, thinking about your big strong Syaoran who'll beat the life out of anyone who looks at you the wrong way." I blushed again and looked to see it was Mamoru. "Shut-up" I said as I pushed him off of me causing him to fall to the ground. He just laughed nervously and so did Eriol, and our teacher who I had just noticed was watching us. I turned the ultimate shade of red. He started class by taking attendance, and introduced Hiiragizawa Eriol. He told him he could sit in any available seat. He of coarse sat behind me. I asked Eriol what class he had next, he said Social Studies. "I see you all mourning" I joked. Syaoran was listening and shot a smiling Eriol a death glare. I mentioned that from lunch after all my classes are with Syaoran, knowing he'd blush. We chatted till the teacher gave us a warning to stop talking. After that class was uneventful and soon ended.
I walked with Eriol and Syaoran to Social Studies. I gave Syaoran a quick kiss on the cheek and ran into class. There isn't anyone in this class I'm really friends with besides Eriol who again stood in front of the class waiting for the teacher. So I quickly sat in my seat with a few people asking me about Syaoran, till the teacher came in. He introduced Eriol to the class and had him sit in front of me. He sat in his seat and said hello to me, then he turned and payed attention to our teacher.
The class soon ended and Eriol and I went to find Tomoyo. She was at her locker and once we found her I went and got my lunch and was surprised to see Syaoran in front of me. I gave him a hug grabbed my lunch; then I dragged him to lunch. We ate quietly, and then left a few minutes early so I could grab my project out of my locker. When he noticed it he started asking me about it. But I refused to tell him anything. We went to drawing together, and sat at our table. When I walked in a few familiar faces from the club greeted me with a "good job and that was awesome." Our teacher walked in and shortly asked anyone if they had their project roughly ready and wanted to share a few people raised their hands including Syaoran and I, we looked at each other, then the teacher. She called on two students then the two of us.
The first student was some girl her picture was a big home, with people all around it. She explained that it was her family that was most important to her.
The second student was a boy that drew the foot ball team saying it was an important time in his life when he grew, made, friends and got head trauma. (I'd have to agree there)
Next was me, I was very nervous about opening my picture but I had to. It was the symbol of the Clow enlarged as the background, and there was a wolf pup in the center with a star above his head, as well as the sketched faces of my brother, father, Tomoyo and Eriol, scattered around the outsides. My teacher complimented me and asked me to explain it. I felt Syaoran's eyes on me and my drawing.
Sakura: Well the symbol in the background represents a big event and time in my life that changed me. These are pictures of the most important people to me, and who've always been there for me in the past, Tomoyo, My dad, my brother Touya and Eriol. (I explained pointing to each one.) The wolf represents the person I love more than anything, He guides my star and gives me strength. I know my picture represents a couple of things that are important to me. And all though it is true. It's really how all these things revolve around the one I love. The little wolf. (I finished with a face so red I looked like a cherry.)
Teacher: Miss. Kinomoto, may I take your artwork? (I handed it to her.) We have an art show here every year and I want this peace to be in it. Usually it takes a couple of assignments before students have pieces that they're comfortable with. (Her compliment made me turn even redder if that was humanly possible.)
The final student was Syaoran. He was staring at me when he showed his artwork. It was a large and very beautifully detailed cherry blossom tree, with a detailed young boy leaning against it. (You could almost see his messed up and tousled hair in the picture.) It was night because there was a moon behind the tree. There was one star that was a little bigger than the others were and the boy was staring right at it. Our teacher was at a loss; it was so detailed and beautiful. His cheeks were a noticeable hue of pink.
Teacher: Why don't you explain it for us Li.
Syaoran: This just shows one thing. Only one thing in this world is important to me and that's the person I love. She's my star my love, my reason for being...(Here. He said in a low whisper I almost didn't catch it but I did.) The star in the sky and the tree the young boy's leaning on represents the most important person in my life. (His voice was filled with such emotion I thought he was going to cry.)
Teacher: That is so sweet. Syaoran may I put your picture in the art show too? It's so beautiful.
Syaoran: Sure. (He said as we all took our seat.)
The bell rang and we quickly left the room still red. We slowed our pace to a walk. I stopped and hugged him tightly and kissed him. "Thank-you, you know my picture was about you," I asked as I took his hand in mine and kissed it gentle. He blushed "yes I did, mine was about you too" "I know" I blushed. I just smiled at him and kept walking towards our next class. I pulled him into the class and since we were early not that many people had arrived yet.
I sat at my seat and he sat at the piano. I was just staring at him till someone disrupted me. Rika and Minako were waving their hands in front of my now reddened face. They just laughed and took their seats. I noticed that Tomoyo was missing so I asked Usagi where she was she said that chorus was a half class for you and every other day she had her Instrumental class. Class soon started and we did warm-ups. Our teacher told us he wanted to try a little activity he wanted to have us split up into groups of two or three and pick a song he'd give us till Friday to have memorized and down, and we'd have to sing it. "And, I'll be playing the piano so you can either watch or go to study hall that day Syaoran" he announced rather loudly. All of my friends got in a big circle and were deciding who was going to work with whom.
I went over to our teacher
Sakura: Can Syaoran be in a group, to give a sound variety?
Teacher: If he wants to, but most likely he won't. But you can ask if you'd like.
Sakura: What about Tomoyo? Is she going to miss this activity, or is she going to be thrown in someone's group every other day?
Teacher: If you'd like you can tell Miss, Daidouji about the project and she can join a group of her choice or choose to skip this, it's only for fun and practice.
Sakura: Thank-you.
I left our teacher, and carefully approached a group of girls whom were trying to get Syaoran to be in their group. 'They must have heard me ask' I thought to myself. They finally left and I approached him with my face already turning red.
Sakura: Hi Syaoran. How are you?
Syaoran: Good now (He said with a sly smirk.) What can I do for ya?
Sakura: Actually I wanted to ask you a favor but you probably won't want to since you don't have to.
Syaoran: You want me to be in your group, right?
Sakura: (I slowly nodded my head) Yea, I did. But you don't have to if you don't want to.
Syaoran: (He grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him.) Sakura I'd do anything for you even sing. (He smirked) This just means you owe me. (He whispered in a seductive tone.)
Sakura: You will. (I squeaked, as I hugged him, momentarily I was in a class full of girls who for the most part were in love with Syaoran. I quickly jumped back and turned bright red I quickly returned to my seat.)
The teacher called us back to our seats he started to go through the list to see who wanted to work together. Minako asked me last minute if I wanted to work with them but I declined. Finally my name was called. "Who will you be working with?" "Syaoran Li, and maybe Tomoyo Daidouji" he sighed but agreed. Soon the bell rang and Syaoran and I left for English followed by Mina and Usa. We all walked into English and sat at our desks. I again found myself staring at Syaoran but was distracted when I saw a hand in front of my face I looked to see Tomoyo and Chiheru in front of me. They just laughed at me and went to their seats. Ms. Izumi came in and started talking about her vacation and things that had happened. Then she introduced Eriol to the class. And had him sit a few desks over from me. "Long time no see" he whispered as he passed by me. I kind of zoned out again. "Class today I want you to start work on your partner project. It's going to be presented in a few days." She said as I snapped back into attention. I heard everyone groan, then we worked on our project a little more.
Sakura: I think you should come over after school and we can finish this up.
Syaoran: I have to all my stuffs still there.
Sakura: (Blushes) Oh yeah. Well it's settled then.
Syaoran: Mhmm. (He nodded)
Sakura: I hate oral presentations.
Syaoran: Really?
Sakura: Yes I hate talking in front of everyone.
Syaoran: Why?
Sakura: I just do.
Syaoran: I see.
The class ended and all of my friends and I were on our way home. Slowly our group dissipated till it was just Syaoran and I. When we were walking alone I grabbed his hand and held it tightly he blushed a little and we walked the rest of the way hand in hand. We arrived at my house got a snack and went up to my room to work on our project. I got out the hundreds of questions that Syaoran answered and did my paper. I finished in about an hour and a half and then I just lay on my bed while Syaoran finished working on his and just watched him. He kept looking up at me and just smiling at me. 'I'm so damn lucky' I said in my mind. He looked at me again, "Why? I'm the lucky one." I blushed and told him to never mind. He went back to writing his paper. I had just dozed off when I felt something land on me. I looked up to see Syaoran on top of me with an evil glint in his eye. He then tickled me relentlessly till I gave up. After his little attack, he thought he should get going home. I unwillingly agreed; he got his stuff all together and I walked him home. He didn't want me to but he didn't have much choice. After a short silent walk we arrived at Syaoran's apartment building. He put down his stuff and gave me a hug, and a kiss.
Syaoran: Thank-you Sakura. I had a great vacation.
Sakura: No problem, I'm glad I invited you.
Syaoran: It really means a lot to me. (He said his voice becoming full emotion)
Sakura: (I gave him a concerned look) You know you can come over anytime you want, day or night. I love spending time with you.
Syaoran: Me too. (Hugged me tightly) Thank you so much. ('I was so afraid I'd be alone. But now I have you please don't leave me alone.' He was whispering in his mind.)
Sakura: (My eyes got wide.) 'He's so sad' (I thought to my self. I hugged him tightly in return) I'll never let you go Syaoran, I'll never leave you.
Syaoran: I Love You Sakura.
Sakura: I Love You too Syaoran.
Syaoran let go of me, and stepped back a half step away from me. He had a few little tears running down his cheeks his bangs were in his eyes. I wiped away the tears carefully and brushed his brown locks out his eyes. His beautiful amber eyes were glowing, making them even more intense. I smiled at him and he blushed.
Syaoran: I'm sorry Sakura, it's just…
He was silenced when my finger covering his lips.
Sakura: It's ok Syaoran. I'm glad I know how you feel. I will never leave you. It would be too hard and I love you so much.
He took my cheek in his hand and lovingly rubbed it as I pulled him into a hug. He hugged me back. I looked into his eyes and gave him one more kiss before I unwillingly separated from him.
Sakura: How about this, some weekends you can stay over and we can hang out? (I asked hopeful.)
Syaoran: Sure.
Sakura: Yay! Well I really had better get home. I'll see you tomorrow. (I waved as I ran towards my home)
Syaoran: (He waved to me as I ran away.) Bye, Ying Fa.
He yelled as I was leaving but I had to hurry home so I didn't stop to ask, "I'll ask him tomorrow." I told myself. I got home and went up to my room to get all my work for the next day all ready. I noticed a book out of the corner of my eye. It was my Diary. I hadn't written in that for a while I thought to my self as I grabbed it and sat on the bed.
Natsukashii Diary
I haven't written in you since Dec 21st. It's already Jan. A lot's happened since the last time I wrote in you talking about my day with Syaoran. I DID IT! I told Xiao-lang how I feel about him. And my little heart wasn't broken because he loves me too. I'm still ecstatically happy about that. I LOVE HIM, I LOVE HIM, I LOVE HIM! He even gave me a beautiful locket. It's very special to me. I've only taken it off to show Tomoyo, Eriol, Rika, and Ami. (Oh my god. I can't believe Tomoyo is engaged to Eriol. I know they won't actually get married till they at least graduate high school, but still the thought that she is definitely going to merry him it's so sweet. I know they'll last. They're great together. The only thing I don't like about the pair is that they enjoying torturing Syaoran and I in some way. I'm so happy for them.)
I'm so nervous about our presentation in a few days. But I'm so happy. A few girls have given me looks and said something's but nothing to bad, only a little incident with Mei Kidokawa which I won't get into.
My brother took the news about as well as I expected but he gave in and decided to give Syaoran another chance. I'm so unbelievable happy have I mentioned that already. My dad loves, him, my brother's getting along with him my friends like him too. We had to do a project for drawing, about something that's important to us. It was a lot of important focused on one really important thing. A little wolf, I don't think anyone got what it meant except of coarse Syaoran. He was looking at me intently the whole time. 'Xiao-lang means little wolf. And that's what he is my little wolf.' I'll stop gushing about my new boyfriend who just happens to be the most perfect guy on this whole planet.
Only one thing is still on my mind though when I walked him home, he gave me a hug before he went in and he was whispering in his mind. He seemed so sad. He was asking me not to leave him. I told him that I never would. The poor guys been alone since he was shipped her at the age of 9. The only time he lived with someone was the short time Meilin was here and she was a little annoying. I just hope Syaoran's ok. Also he called me Ying Fa, and I wonder why? Anyway, I'll write lata.
~Sakura=)
Syaoran
I entered my apartment and sighed. 'How could I let my emotions go like that. "Man Sakura what do you do to me?" I sighed to myself. "If it was anyone else I would have been humiliated, but also if it was anyone else my emotions wouldn't have come out." I unpacked all my stuff and noticed the Journal Eriol gave me for Christmas. I looked at the first page and reread the little blurb. I hated to admit it but it was nice. I turned the page and looked at it was blank the last time I looked at it. But now it had writing on it.
Hey Syaoran
I bet you're sad about not being able to stay with Sakura longer. But not to worry you'll see her and now you know her heart will always be yours and vice versa. I'm so happy for you cute little descendent. Well I'll see you tomorrow.
Eriol
I sigh, "I don't think I should write in it anything personal in this. I said out loud as I grabbed my journal and opened it.
Journal Jan1
I can actually say I love life, and I love Sakura. She's so great I love her so much. And she loves me back that's the great part. She loved the necklace that I got her and I absolutely love what she got me. Even though she could have givin' me a stick and I probably would have treasured it. She got me a beautiful sword that belonged to the Li-clan thousands of years ago. It's incredible beautiful and well maintained. It's an excellent sword, she also got me a ring. On a chain because she knew id don't really wear jewelry. It had a small stone that was half-pink and half-green and where they met was a light golden color. And she had it engraved all around. (You are close to my heart no matter where you are. I love You always, Sakura" I read as I played with the ring around my neck.) Both the ring and the sword are the most special gifts I've ever received.
And soon I have to do an oral presentation on the girl I love. I'm not at all nervous about the presentation but I am nervous about the fact that it's about her. What if I say something wrong and embarrass both of us. Well it's not that far away I'll just have to see what happens.
She walked me home today as much as I didn't want her to. I didn't want her to have to walk home alone. I was just so happy to have her in my life and that she let me stay with her over vacation, and that she's now my girlfriend. I didn't want to be alone, I've been alone since I was 5 and my mother gave me to Wei to train and raise and I don't want to leave Sakura. And I don't want her to leave me. She' my whole world. I really don't know what I'm thinking. I write later.
