It's…it's…*GASP!* The fourth chapter! Took me long enough!
Thanks for all the reviews and keep 'em coming! I know a
lot of you out there want to see a more E+T in this fic. Don't worry; I have
plans for that…but not in this chapter (sorry!). This is more of an S+S chapter
(and story), but I'll try my best to please everyone. :-)
Oh yeah, disregard the preview at the end of Chapter 3…I
think I might've changed things around...a lot.
Well, enough of that…here we go! Let's make it quick.
Disclaimer: I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura. If I did, this
wouldn't be called fanfiction, now would it?
You should hopefully know the regular format by now. (I
don't feel like typing it out ^_~)
Hajime!

A fanfic

Chapter
Four: Being serious is figurative…
*********************************
--------------------- [Flashback to Eriol's phone
call]
Eriol: If something ever goes wrong, just remember to
always be a gentleman. (laughs) Just think of the way I act.
Syaoran: Whatever. Go on.
Eriol: Seriously though. Just show that you care by
showing her respect. Don't try to start anything with her unless she gives you
the go ahead.
Syaoran: But sometimes…I just want to hold her and um…kiss
her.
Eriol: I didn't mean 'don't be aggressive,' but don't take
things farther than they have to. If you feel like doing something, just make
sure it isn't going to scare her too much.
Syaoran: What do you think I am? A pervert?!
***********************************
Outside of the movie theater – (After the events in the
last chapter)
[Syaoran is blushing from embarrassment, while Sakura is
still staring at him wide-eyed. She breaks eye contact, then…]
Sakura: (her body shakes as she tries to hold in her
laughter)
[A/N: anybody know how to type out the sound you make when
you start laughing? You know, that kinda sounds like a sneeze? Well, Sakura
just made that sound. ^_^]
Syaoran: (eyes sadden) Sakura…
Sakura: (smilingly) Sometimes I forget just how…cute you
can be. (puts her hand on his cheek)
Syaoran: (frowns a little) But that doesn't mean you have
to laugh at me…
Sakura: (still smiling at Syaoran's pouting face) You
know, you don't have to be so serious all the time…
Syaoran: But…I…*I am serious…*
Sakura: (questioning look) What is it Syaoran-kun? *Hoe…
maybe I went too far? *
Syaoran: (visibly struggling) I-I'm serious…about… you,
Sakura… I've always been…
Sakura: (apologetic) A-ano, Syaoran-kun…I'm sorry, I
didn't mean… I---*mmph!*
[Syaoran doesn't give her a chance to finish as he swiftly
closes the distance between them and pulls her close. Sakura melts as she feels
his tender kiss on her lips…]
Sakura: (leans into the kiss) *Hanyaaaan …*
[Even though it didn't seem like anyone else was around at
the time, (save for the spying Eriol and Tomoyo) out of nowhere comes…]
"Ring Ring! …..POW!"
Syaoran: (something suddenly
slams into his side, the kiss broken, and he ends up flat on the pavement)
Oooof!
Touya: (on his bike and smiling smugly down at Syaoran)
Heh…oops.
Syaoran: (glares intensely, and unknown to him, has a tire
mark on the side of his face) Temee…
Touya: (mockingly) Oooh…I'm SO scared~
Sakura: Mou! Oniichan! Why do you keep showing up?!
Touya: (smugly) If I don't, who will? By the way, Sakura,
thanks to that gaki, I got in trouble with the boss! I mean, what am I gonna do
with only five jobs instead of six?
Sakura: (rolls her eyes) Go HOME nii-chan.
Touya: (smiles) Heh. Sorry, no way.
Sakura: Why not?!
Touya: I've got more work to do! Geez…don't you ever look
at the board? It's your turn for dinner tonight, don't you remember?
Sakura: (smiles guiltily) Oops…hehe, I guess I forgot.
Touya: See you later…KAIJUU.
Sakura: Kaijuu janai yo!!!~
Touya: (bikes away) ha ha ha ha….bye kaijuu!
Sakura: (stomps her foot down) Mou!
[In the bushes, Eriol and Tomoyo are getting a bit
uncomfortable since they've been sitting there for quite a while…]
Eriol: (whispering) Do you think this is going in the
right direction?
Tomoyo: (whispering) I'm not so sure…I didn't expect Syaoran
to be that…aggressive. (looks at Eriol with suspicion)
Eriol: Hey…don't look at me! It's not like I make him do
what I say!
Tomoyo: *sigh * Maybe I'll have to give Sakura some advice
to counter yours, Hiiragizawa-kun. (smirks)
Eriol: (returns with one of his own smirks) Haha. We'll
see about that, Daidouji-san.
[They continue to laugh at each other, smirking.
Meanwhile…]
Sakura: Syaoran-kun?
Syaoran: (still on the ground) Nanda?
Sakura: Are bushes supposed to make laughing sounds?
[The bush stops making noise at this point, and Tomoyo and
Eriol sweatdrop]
Tomoyo + Eriol : Oops.
Eriol: (whispers, and pushes Tomoyo out of the way) Quick,
hide!
(Tomoyo manages to get away, but…]
Syaoran: (gets up towards the bush to find…)
WAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!
Sakura: Syaoran-kun?! What happened?
Eriol: (pops out of the bush smiling widely) KONNICHIWA!!!
Sakura: (steps back, surprised) HOOOOOEEEE!!!
**********************************************
[After everyone has calmed down a bit…]
Sakura: (while wiping off the tire marks off Syaoran's
face) Eriol-kun! You should've told me you were in town!
Eriol: Oh, but I just came in a couple days ago,
Sakura-san… (glances at Syaoran)
Syaoran: …..*glare*
Eriol: (smiles) I was sure we'd meet again.
Sakura: (blinks) What do you mean by that, Eriol-kun?
Syaoran: [GLARE]
….
**********************************************
The Next day – Seijou High, First Period
[The classroom door slides open, as if being pushed
cautiously]
Sakura: I-I made it?
Tomoyo: Hai, Sakura-chan.
Sakura: (checking her watch) Really?!
Tomoyo: (smiles) Hai, Sakura-chan.
[Syaoran steps inside the classroom only to bump into a
surprised Sakura]
Syaoran: Ohay--*o?
[Syaoran, realizing whose back he just bumped into steps
back quickly, making sure his hands don't go anywhere…*Be a gentleman, be a
gentleman…* while blushing furiously]
Syaoran: (clears his throat and steps around)
Ohayo…Sakura.
Sakura: (upon seeing Syaoran, averts her gaze just a bit
to hide her blush) O-ohayo…Syaoran-kun.
[Another pair of feet appear in the doorway]
"Ohayo Minna!"
[Syaoran, Sakura, and Tomoyo turn to look at the newcomer.
Hmm…dark hair, cool eyes, stylish glasses…*gasp! * It can't be?]
Syaoran: (Brows furrowed) *What is he doing here? *
Sakura: (Eyes wide) *Why can't I ever predict these
things? *
Tomoyo: (Speculative look) *Oooh…he looks good in that
uniform…sometimes I guess it's good to be surprised… *
[Of course, this whole time, the boy in the doorway hears
nothing but silence]
Eriol: What? Did I
say something wrong?
To be continued!
************************************
~End of Chapter 4~
Some vocab:
(most of the vocab in this Chapter also used in Ch. 1, so
look back if you need to.)
Konnichiwa – Hello, or Good Afternoon
Minna – abbreviated form of 'Mina-san' which means
'everyone'
Hanyaan – Another
one of Sakura's trademark phrases. Used when she feels all nice and mushy
inside ^_^.
**************************************
Preview for Chapter Four: (A/N:don't take it too
seriously! ^_^)
Sakura: Eriol-kun shows up at Seijou High! Why does he
spend so much time with Tomoyo-chan anyway? And about that kiss…Syaoran-kun!
I-I just don't know what to do! All this and more coming up in Advice (and
other funny things) Chapter FIVE! Jikai mo, Sakura to isshoni…RELEASE!
Leave it to Noelle! (otherwise known as author's notes)
Noelle: Sorry sorry sorry for making you wait a while to
read this, I had a mini-writers block. ^_~ The first draft of this chapter
didn't turn out the way I liked. Touya will be a regular character in
this series, he's just so funny (and cute). And just to clarify, the school
everyone's going to is Touya's old High School, so the uniform (the blue one in
the anime) is one you've probably seen before.
Kero-chan: Oh! That's right! KERO-CHAN CHECK!!!!
Noelle: Wait! I'm not done yet!
Kero-chan: As you can see, the school emblem is on the
front pocket…
Noelle: *sigh* Anyway, what I was gonna say is that I
seriously need a beta-reader for some of my stories. Sometimes I get stuck,
sometimes scenes don't go the right way…you get the picture. Anyway, I'd love a
second opinion. Interested? Email me at flamesniper_mars@hotmail.com.
Kero-chan: And for the summer uniform we have the light
short sleeved shirt with a…
Noelle: *AHEM*
Kero-chan: Done already?! Ok, ok…kids, always wear your
sunscreen when it's sunny! Honana!

Ok, I don't know what the problem is with the chapter's
spacing, but there were some uploading problems. If it looks alright, never
mind. ^_^
