A/N: Hi all you peoples! I finally sat down and wrote the next part, but
it didn't come out as good as I hoped. Anyways, you should be the judge of
that, not me. School has given me lots of work at the moment and my figure
skating schedule seems harder than ever. Ugh! I wish my live wasn't so
stressed. Anyways, like always, please read and review. If you have any
questions, you can email to me at ShockingBuggy@aol.com.
Disclaimer: You guys know the drill. Don't sue me.
Dedications: I liked to thank Kittyangel and Umifirefly15! And Saturn Ringer and Little Red Dragon and Mirkana Falcon. You all have been great supporters and great friends. I also like to thank Starrie for also supporting me. Go check out all their fics when you get the chance.

Chapter 5: Those awkward moments
Their lips only touched for a moment, but it felt like an eternity for the two. It felt like a lifetime full of kisses, something that was meant to be. Something that they've always dreamed of.
The last notes of the music faded away, but Sakura gaze still could not pull away from those amber eyes. They had her hypnotized, causing her to look deep into the person's eyes, and into his soul.
He was the first to snap back into reality. At first he could not get over how familiar everything was with her, nor how perfect, but then a voice in his head became louder and more clear. *Oh no, Lu* he thought.
He panicked. *Did she see what I did.* He scanned the room quickly, looking to see if he could find Lu anywhere.
He did not.
*What if she left because she saw what I did?* he thought. He started to move when he realized that he still had a dazed Sakura in his arms. He cursed himself mentally for his stupidity.
He looked down at her. She was so beautiful, but he was taken. He would only hurt her, because he would just lead her on. It would make him look especially bad after the stories that Lu was telling him about.
Poor thing…Her first love leaving her, promising to return, but never showing up. It would make anyone want to cry or pity her or even go hunt the guy down and kill him (A/N: Sorry, I REALLY didn't mean that! Honest! It just came out that way! Don't shoot me!!!)
But he knew he had to do it.
Change of POV (sorry if it's confusing)
Sakura finally snapped out of her trance when the guy turned his head. But the image of his serious amber eyes was forever burned in her memory.
"Um… I… uh… I… I'm so… so… so sorry. I should not have done that. I was not thinking, please forgive me. Please forget that I ever did that," he finally choked out. "I had no right to do that. For all I know, you could be taken. I am so sorry."
She shushed him. "No it's okay. I'm sorry also."
"No see, you don't understand! Even if you're single, I'm not. In fact, my girlfriend wanted me to dance with you to be polite. I've been unbelievably rude to you so I must apologize!" (A/N: God, he sounds so chivalrous. Sorry again!!)
"No, no, I understand. I understand completely. I feel as if I cheated on someone, but that's not important."
He started to blush. The color reached all the way up to his ears. *God! Even his blush looks so familiar!* she thought to herself.
All the familiarities made her feel more at ease with him, even though she knew she should have. "Anyway, I'm Sakura. I'm here for a little while as a guest student. I'm from Japan."
"Nice to meet you Sakura. You must be the person from Japan that every one has been talking about so much! I'll tell you, everyone has been bouncing off the walls ever since the news arrived that a new student would be coming to our school," he told her, trying to make some form of conversation.
"I can tell. I've felt very welcome here," Sakura smiled. She watched the blush that he had gradually grow even deeper.
"So, when did you arrive here?" he asked her, looking a little unsure of himself.
"Oh, two days ago," Sakura replied to him, ignoring the feeling of nervousness. *Boy did I just sound like a complete idiot right there* she thought to herself.
"Oh I see…" his voice trailing off, like he was trying to think of what to say next.
"I am so excited to finally be here though," she said to him, trying to sound enthusiastic, but she still could feel her voice shake. "I haven't really been away from home much, so this is a new experience for me."
"Wow, you speak Chinese very well!" he told her, "Did you learn all from school or someone at home speak Chinese?"
"Actually, a childhood friend of mine taught me, since he came from Hong Kong. I guess it stuck through the years," she said, laughing a little.
"That's great…" he trailed off again.
"Well, I'd like to thank you for the dance," she told him.
"You're welcome anytime," he said, this time, it came out smooth and certain. He started to walk away from her.
"Oh wait!" she called. He turned around.
"Yeah?" he asked curiously.
"It was nice talking to you. What did you say your name was?" she asked him.
"It was nice to meet you too…" he started.
"Hey Sakura! There you are!" Tomoyo's voice cut in. "I've been looking for you all over. I wanted you to meet this guy!" she said excitedly. "He is really cute and really sweet, and I think he's going to ask to dance with you!" By the end of her sentence, she was practically jumping up and down.
*Well, I guess she really is into this matchmaker thing,* she thought. "All right. I'll go see this guy just wait for a moment because I –" she started.
She turned around to find out who the person was, but he was gone. Sakura looked around to see where he went, but he disappeared into the crowd.
"Wait for a moment because you what?" Tomoyo asked curiously, but impatiently. She gave Sakura a worried glance.
"It's nothing. I was talking to someone and the person just disappeared. I'm ready," Sakura told her.
A little later in the night
Sakura finally got to rest after dancing through the four next dances without a moment's pause. Each of the dances she danced with a different guy that Tomoyo seemed to find.
"Tomoyo, please no more guys. I'm tired, I need a break," she told her best friend.
"All right. Lu wants to see us anyways," Tomoyo said to her, while dragging her away.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen her in a while, have you?" Sakura asked. "Ever since I went to the bathroom, I haven't seen her."
"Well, I saw her go into the bathroom right after you did," Tomoyo told her after she thought about it for a while. "She had to touch up her makeup and hair. That's where I ran into her. Otherwise, after that I haven't seen her. She must have found her boyfriend."
"That's probably it. How did you find out that Lu wanted to see us anyway? I thought that you haven't seen her in a while," Sakura wanted to know.
"Oh, someone told me that she was looking for us. Come on, she wants us to meet her at the food table!"
They pushed and shoved through the crowd making their way to the food table. They saw Lu waiting there for them. She apparently was having a conversation with the guy that was standing next to her. She saw Sakura and Tomoyo and waved to them.
"Hey you two. Glad you came! I want you to meet someone," she said excitedly. She started talking to the guy next to her. "Sweetie, take off your mask. I want to introduce you to my new friends."
"All right, hold on," he replied.
"You guys this handsome person right here is my boyfriend," she told them.
He turned around then. Before Sakura was the same guy that she danced with. The one that she kissed.
But without the mask disguising some of the features, the familiarity of him started to become even stronger.
Yes she now recognized him, but why didn't he recognize her?
"Syaoran?" she asked.
TO BE CONTINUED
I FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I know, you all think that it took me long enough. I'm sorry. It's not my fault that my teachers decided to make me write stupid papers and read long books and overload me with homework! Anyways, later on, my friend Kittyangel and I are going to a new story that we wrote together! It's going to be called "Not Lost Forever" (yes Kittyangel, I think I like this as a title). Don't worry y'all, I'll still work on "Hope" (I know five different people who would kill me if I didn't). But it won't take as long to post stuff, since research paper is out of the way. Now all I gotta do is learn how to do darn Constructions in Geometry. I'll have the next chapter up as soon as I can. I love emails so if you want me to move faster, email me. Or you can IM me (I have AIM) whenever you find me online. My screenname is ShockingBuggy, but I warn you now, I'm a very slow responder to those. Till next time!
