The reviews have slowed down a bit, but that's what you
get for not being the newest fic on the front page. *sigh* But for everyone who
did review, thanks! Because of all the great reviews, here's chapter five, just
for you. :-)
Disclaimer: I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura, 'cause if I
did, I wouldn't have such a hard time getting enough of it!
This chapter (like all the others) is in script format for
ease of dialogue. I'll get around to writing prose…someday.
New Japanese vocab in this chapter can be found at the
bottom of the fic. Forgot something? Flip back to the other chapters to refresh
your memory.
Name: ….. or "….." – Dialogue
*…..* - Thoughts
( …. ) or [ …. ] – Description or Action
More E+T in this chapter! But my favorite couple is still
S+S. Read on loyal readers….
Iku wa yo!

(and other funny
things)
A fanfic by Noelle
Chapter Five: Girl,
Interrupted
***********************************
Seijou High – Second Period
The day was like any other normal school day.
Terada-sensei was giving the day's lesson, while the students…weren't quite as
attentive.
Eriol, being a 'new' transfer student, of course attracted
lots of attention (especially from the girls ^_^). After the odd situation made
in the first period, Eriol is finally glad to have some peace and quiet.
Well…kinda.
[Eriol looks around him]
Syaoran: (noticing Eriol's look) *GLARE*
Tomoyo: (currently videotaping Sakura from under her desk)
*Ho ho ho! This is great! *
Sakura: zzzzzzzzz……..
Eriol: (turning back around) My… at least things stay
interesting around here.
************************************
Seijou High – Lunch Period – outside the classroom
Sakura: (now awake) Nnngh…I feel bad about sleeping in
class, but I just can't sleep at night!
Tomoyo: Bad dreams?
Sakura: (a slight blush creeps up on her cheeks) N-not
exactly…
Tomoyo: (smiles knowingly)
Syaoran: (comes up from behind) Oi, Sakura, you've got
some…(smiles and laughs a bit)
[He reaches out to wipe some drool off her face]
Sakura: (blushes) *Hoe! This is so embarrassing!*
[Tomoyo, seeing an opportunity for the two, slips away
quietly]
Sakura: (noticing how close they are) Ano ne…Syaoran-kun?
About yesterday, I…
Syaoran: (sharp intake of breath) *Masaka…I hope I didn't
scare her off by k-k-kissing her…*
Sakura: *What…is this feeling? * (her heart beats fast as
their faces come closer together ) [A/N: Doki Doki!]
Syaoran: (surprised by the turn of events) *Eh!?*
Sakura: (their faces centimeters apart)….about yesterday,
I-I wish that we didn't get interrupted…
Syaoran: (smiles at this) … Aa.
[As they both lean in closer and closer, Syaoran's hands
come around her waist, and Sakura's hands wind themselves up around his neck.
Suddenly…]
"SLAM!"
[The classroom door suddenly slides open, startling the
two, and voices can be heard]
Yamazaki: (while holding his index finger up) Did you
know? Lunchtime is at the time it is today based off of the habits of people in
Uzbekistan?
Eriol: …and that's because all of their stores open for
one time of day and that's it!
Chiharu: Liars! Both of you!
[As the three pass through the door, Syaoran and Sakura
are frozen in place, the moment ruined…again. They both sweatdrop at the
sight.]
Syaoran: Ehehe…
Sakura: (giggles) I can't believe it. (looks up)
Syaoran-kun?
Syaoran: Nanda?
Sakura: Want to have lunch?
Syaoran: (sighs) Aa.
[They start walking down the hall, but soon realize that
both of them are still locked in an embrace]
Sakura + Syaoran: (both jump back) Hoeeee!
*****************************************
Around the Corner – at about the same time
Tomoyo: (slaps her forehead) Mou! Hiiragizawa-kun didn't
even notice what was going on!
Eriol: (comes around the corner) Ano…Daidouji-san? Do you
have a headache?
Tomoyo: Eh? (blushes, embarrassed) N-no…
Eriol: Oh! And a fever too? (smiles) Do you need to see
the nurse?
Tomoyo: (evil look) Be quiet you.
******************************************
[Yes, it's still lunch period, and Sakura has caught up
with her friends to have some lunch. Of course, she drags Syaoran along…]
Yamazaki: Wow Li-kun! You're almost taller than I am now!
Rika: Hmm…(looks him over) Sakura-chan's a lucky girl.
(smiles)
Naoko: And I thought he'd change a lot…
Chiharu: (under her breath) if only Yamazaki….
Yamazaki: (interjects) Did you know?---*
Chiharu: (covers his mouth) SO…Sakura-chan, how's it feel
to have your lover boy back? (giggles)
Sakura: (eyes wide) My what?!
Syaoran: (same priceless expression) ….
Sakura: Uh…I mean, it's great having him back! We've done
some catching up since he came…
[There's a silence as Sakura never succeeds in finishing
her sentence, and no one speaks up (including Syaoran). Sensing the uneasiness
in the air, Rika attempts to change the subject.]
Rika: (forced smile) A-ano, Sakura-chan? Where's
Tomoyo-chan? She usually eats lunch with us.
Yamazaki: (pondering look) Now that you mention it, I
haven't seen Hiiragizawa since we got out of class either.
Chiharu: (smiles wistfully) Aww…even though he's a liar I
wanted to ask him a few things too…
Yamazaki: (interjects forcefully) DID YOU KNOW?! ----*
Chiharu: (jokingly pushes his head down) Ha ha ha!
[Everyone else in the group sweatdrops]
Sakura: * Maybe they're together somewhere? Now that I
think about it, Tomoyo-chan hasn't been around as much since Eriol-kun came… *
*******************************************
Somewhere in Seijou High's hallways…
Eriol: (slaps his forehead) How could I be so oblivious?
Tomoyo: Heh, so who has the headache now?
Eriol: (brushes the comment off) Anyway, I'll make it up
to you, I promise.
Tomoyo: And what do you mean by that?
Eriol: (smiles) Oh. You'll see…
Tomoyo: (starry eyed) Not if I get something to happen
between Sakura-chan and Li-kun first!
Eriol: (sarcastically) O ho ho…you've got some fight left
in you yet!
******************************************
Somewhere under a cherry blossom tree…
Sakura + Syaoran: ACHOO!
[They both look at each other oddly]
Sakura: Think someone's talking about us?
Syaoran: (bored expression) I wouldn't be surprised…
The rest of the day went by uneventfully, save for the
stolen glances between Sakura and Syaoran, and the occasional snoring by a
certain someone when things got particularly boring…
*******************************************
Seijou High – After Class
Sakura: (stretches her arms) I slept so much in class I
don't know if I can sleep tonight! *As if thinking about…HIM wasn't enough…*
[She starts getting her rollerblading gear on]
Tomoyo: Oh! Sakura-chan, think I can come over your house
later tonight? I need to talk to you about something.
Sakura: Huh? *It must be something important… * Ok, I'll
just tell Otousan about it when I get home, ok?
Tomoyo: Arigatou Sakura-chan! You're the best! (she skips
away)
Sakura: (sweatdrops) ….
Eriol: (comes from behind) Ah, Sakura-san! You still rollerblade
to and from school?
Sakura: (smiles) Yeah, I've been doing it so long I don't
think I could imagine any other way of getting here!
Eriol: (smiles) After all, you don't see many cute girls
on skates around anymore…
Sakura: (blushes) U…un.
[Syaoran, just stepping out of class, overhears this last
part of the conversation and immediately steams up. *What the heck is he trying
to pull?!* He pushes past the crowd of students in the doorway and bolts to
come in between the two]
Syaoran: (breathing heavily, with brows furrowed)
S-SAKURA!
Sakura: (surprised) Doushita no Syaoran-kun?
Eriol: (smiles his Eriol grin)
Syaoran: LET ME WALK YOU HOME! (he immediately takes her
by the hand and leads her down the street)
Sakura: Demo, Syaoran-kun! I've got rollerblades on!
Eriol: (continues to smile his Eriol grin as he looks on)
Mata ashita Sakura-san…
To be continued!

Preview for Chapter 6:
Sakura: Tomoyo-chan offers me some advice! Hoe…how *do*
you know all this stuff? Kero-chan? You're in on this too? And Oniichan! Can't
you find something better to do? All this and more in Advice (and other funny
things) chapter SIX! Jikai mo, Sakura to isshoni…RELEASE!
Leave it to Noelle! (otherwise known as author's notes)
[pops out of a big sign]
Noelle: Konyanyachiwa! How was it? I think this thing is
going to turn out pretty long at the pace I'm at. Wait…maybe that's a good
thing. Anyway, I'm trying to work in the "advice" theme little by little here,
so be patient with me, ok? Some cultural notes (if you wanted to know):
Sweatdrops are used as a wordless sign of "Oh my God," or "I can't believe what
he/she said" kind of thing. It's sort of a reaction to something really silly.
About sneezing, in Japan, it's believed that when you sneeze a lot, someone's
talking about you.
Noelle: I just couldn't resist putting in Chiharu and
Yamazaki in this chapter too. They're so cute but they get almost no screen
time!
Noelle: One more thing: sorry about the short length of
the chapters lately! I really tried to lengthen this one.
Kero-chan: Wai! Wai! I'm appearing in the next chapter!
Noelle: (smiles)
Kero-chan: (flares up) AND ABOUT TIME TOO.
Noelle: Ehehe…bye kids! Be sure to be polite to your
elders!
Kero-chan: (back to normal) Honana!
