Chapter 3 - First kiss, Kamuro Kuro.

~*~

Sakura sighed as she opened the door to her home lazily. She passed a few doors and walked into the kitchen, seeing a message written on the board.

-Sakura, I=m coming home late because of somethings going wrong over here at the school. Please, make yourself some dinner, or tell Touya to make some. I=ll be at home around 12:00 am. Ja - Fujitaka-

Sakura just read over it, paying no heed and continued her way up the stairs and straight into her room, shutting the door behind her.

She looked at her bed and plopped down onto it on her back. She groaned as she thought about the week that had passed, Thank God that school is over for the week. I don=t think I could=ve lasted another day. It=s been tough, but Tomoyo has been there for me all the way.=

Sakura lifted herself from the bed and stood up, walking towards her laptop. She sat on the chair and lifted up the top, pressing the button that activated it. She waited till it loaded up, then she placed her hand on the mouse and logged into her MSN account. She typed in her username and password.

Since she was new in MSN, she didn't have any friends on her list. As soon as she signed in, she quickly added Tomoyo by her e-mail that she had given her at the end of classes. Her face quickly lightened up, seeing that Tomoyo was on-line. She double clicked on her screen-name and began typing.

~*~

FallenTenshi_Sakura : Tomoyo, hey !

Kawaii_Freak_Tomo : Heyaz, Sakura ! Glad that classes are done for the week ?

FallenTenshi_Sakura : Of course, who wouldn't ? So, do you have any plans for tonight ?

Kawaii_Freak_Tomo : You know, I was going to ask you exact same thing.

FallenTenshi_Sakura : Really ? What do you have in mind ?

Kawaii_Freak_Tomo : Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies with me tonight. You know, catch a chick flick.

FallenTenshi_Sakura : Sure, there's a ton of good movies out. How about you tell me the time and we both decide over there ?

Kawaii_Freak_Tomo : Ok, hold on.

FallenTenshi_Sakura : Ok.

Kawaii_Freak_Tomo : How about at 6:00 ? We'll have plenty of time to get ready. Sound alright to you ?

FallenTenshi_Sakura : Perfect, I'll meet you there. I always take a lot of time getting ready, so I should go now.

Kawaii_Freak_Tomo : Haha, ok ! I'm the same also, don't worry. See-you later !

FallenTenshi_Sakura : See-you !

~*~

Sakura smiled as she logged off, being glad that she had plans for the night. The thought of watching a movie with her new friend seemed relaxing from all the stress at school.

She looked to her alarm clock on her nightstand and saw the bright green numbers flash '3:12 PM'. She sighed for a moment, small groans eliciting from her throat. She then quickly dashed into her bathroom without hesitation, almost slipping on the way, but managed with a small cry and an afterwards laugh.

Sakura, now in the shower, took her precious time washing away all the stress away as steaming water sprinkled its way onto her lithe body, making her sigh in pleasure.

After the relaxing shower, she flung the shower curtains aside and carefully stepped out onto the floor as to not slip, for the heat of the water caused a steam which made everything moist. She grabbed the pale pink towel and dried up her hair after she rang it out. She then wrapped the towel around her hair and grabbed another towel, wrapping it around her body.

Sakura stepped out of her bathroom and into her room again, as the steam silently seeped through the door cracks.

She shivered, realizing that she had left her air conditioner on, but she didn't mind much. Sakura quickly took out her underwear and slipped it on, while looking for clothes in her closet.

She browsed for a few minutes, finally deciding on an outfit. Sakura took out a pale green halter top and her faded denim jeans. She quickly slipped the outfit on and looked at herself in the mirror, shrugging as she spoke to herself, "Well, I'm definitely not Britney Spears, as if I liked her. But, this'll have to do for a little night out with Tomoyo."

Sakura walked to her dresser and pulled out her hairbrush. She passed the brush through her moist auburn hair a couple of times, making it straight. She grabbed the bottle of gel and squirted out some onto her hand, rubbing them together, before grabbing some of her hair and scrunched it upwards a couple of times. She did this through out her hair completely, the outcome making it slightly wavy and still have that wet-look.

Sakura then went to her closet again and slipped her feet into a pair of dark green sandals. She ran to her full body mirror and looked at herself once again, approving that she looked ok.

She looked to her alarm clock and saw the numbers flash '5:10 PM'. Sakura said out loud, "It takes about an hour or less to get to the movies.. So, hurry it up, Sakura !"

She sprayed just a bit of perfume on her neck and dashed down the stairs, grabbing the money off her dresser on the way.

Sakura frantically looked around downstairs for Touya. "Onii-chan ! …Ok, fine. You're not answering, so I'm just going to yell it out. I'm going to the movies with Tomoyo. Don't wait up !" With that, she shoved the money in her pocket and rushed out the door.

Touya then ran out of the bathroom completely soaked with only a towel wrapped around his waist. He growled under his breath and yelled out, "Sakura ! Don't do anything foolish, whore !"

He then gasped and slammed a hand over his mouth, whispering to himself. "Oh God, I hope she didn't hear that .. I hope she didn't hear that.." With that, he walked back into the bathroom, chanting the same words over again.

~*~

Sakura drove in silence as she kept on thinking about school the past couple of weeks. Her voice then broke the silence in the air. "Sakura, why don't you just quit thinking about the horrible weeks you've been having and just try to relax, just the tiniest bit… And put some damn music, for God's sake !"

She laughed and turned on the radio, switching through the stations, before finally settling on one, hearing one of her favorite songs come on.

Sakura began tapping her fingers on the wheel, as her voice came out in a melodic tone, singing the words to the beat and pace of the song.

"I'm tugging at my hair, I'm pulling at my clothes. I'm trying to keep my cool, I know it shows. I'm staring at my feet, my cheeks are turning red. I'm searching for the words inside my head."

Sakura then lowered her voice a bit, trying to imitate the singer's voice. But almost laughing at her bad attempt.

"I'm feeling nervous, trying to be so perfect. 'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it, yeah."

She then returned to her normal voice and even began dancing as if no one was watching, continuing with the chorus.

"If I could say what I want to say, I'd say I wanna blow you.. away. Be with you every night, am I squeezing you too tight ? If I could say what I want to see, I wanna see you go down.. on one knee. Marry me today. Yes, I'm wishing my life away, with these things I'll never say."

"It don't do me any good, It's just a waste of time. What use is it to you what's on my mind ? If it ain't coming out, we're not going anywhere. So, why can't I just tell you that I care ?"

As soon as Sakura was about to sing the chorus she heard a honk of a car besides her. Blushing, Sakura looked to her side quickly and bared a laugh seeing it was Tomoyo.

She honked back, and quickly drove ahead of her, seeing the theater come to sight.

Tomoyo grinned and pressed her foot a bit harder on the gas pedal, accelerating farther that Sakura and entering the parking lot in front of the theater.

She quickly found a parking space a bit far from the theater, but she just parked there. Turning the engine off, she saw that Sakura had parked a few spaces besides her.

Tomoyo locked the door and closed it shut behind her as she smiled, walking over to Sakura as she did the same.

"Hey Sakura, had fun getting your groove on ?"

Sakura blushed and laughed lightly. "Actually, yes I did. Nice outfit by the way !"

Tomoyo smiled and began walking toward the theater with Sakura tagging along besides her. "Thanks, you do too."

Tomoyo kept walking as her long hair flowed down in beautiful dark violet waves to her waist and the bright orange of the setting sun glowed off her milky skin. She wore a cream colored button up, short sleeved sweater, with a small v-neck. A red, black, white, gray checkered skirt came up a bit past her knees. A pair of white socks come up to a few inches below her knees, and a pair of simple black shoes that covered her walking feet.

Sakura smiled warmly to her friend as they both arrived at the entrance of the theater. Sakura looked around for a second at the posters of the movies then to Tomoyo again. "Any ideas.. ?"

Tomoyo looked at all the posters, but her gaze then settled on a specific one. "Hmm.. how about Mr. Deeds ?"

Sakura smiled and nodded. "I've heard it's a great movie. I'll go buy the tickets, alright ? Just wait here a moment."

Tomoyo nodded and handed her the money and then continued to look at the posters as Sakura walked off.

Sakura walked to the end of the short line of five people and waited. When it was her turn, she gave the man behind the glass the money needed and the man thanked her as he gave her the two tickets.

Sakura felt a light breeze tease some of her wavy bangs, making it caress her cheek. She wrapped her arms around her shoulders, trying to find a bit of warmth as she remembered that she had forgotten her jacket at home for being in such a hurry.

She sighed, her eyes looking towards the ground as she made a halt in front of Tomoyo. Her eyes suddenly drifted upwards to the voice that had just wolf-whistled her. Sakura's eyes widened as she saw the complete gang was standing there and the person who whistled was none other that Eriol.

Tomoyo smiled at Sakura. "This night is turning out better than I expected. They just arrived here, Sakura. By the way, thanks for getting the tickets."

Sakura nodded numbly at Tomoyo and handed her one of the tickets and her change. She then forced a smile at the gang and waved. "Hey, everyone. How are you all doing ?"

She heard a them all talking at once, replying they were doing fine. Syaoran was just gawking at Sakura while Meiling and Kazumi looked at her up and down with narrowed eyes. They decided to make her feel uncomfortable. "So, Sakura. What happened to your hair ? Did you just hop out of the shower and forget to brush, or is that how you always style your hair for nights out ?" They both laughed quietly under their breaths. The truth is, they really did like her hair. But, they weren't just about to admit that.

Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran through the giggling girls a cold glare before facing the blushing Sakura again, both talking at once. "I think it looks great !"

Sakura laughed nervously as Meiling and Kazumi scoffed and turned the other way.

"Hey, guys !"

The whole group looked behind them at a guy running up to them.

Everyone except Sakura greeted him, for she didn't know him.

Syaoran looked to Sakura, having a feeling she felt a bit left out. "Sakura, this is my very close friend from Hong Kong, Karasu Kuro."

Sakura smiled at Karasu and reached her hand out, addressing him. "Nice to meet you, Kuro-kun. My name's Kinomoto Sakura."

Karasu gazed into her emerald eyes, mouth agape. He reached out and grabbed her hand softly into his own, shaking gently. "Nice to meet you too, ..Kinomoto-san."

Sakura took notice of his physical appearance. Karasu was a bit taller than Sakura, about Syaoran's height. His short, dark red hair swayed gently in the breeze. His eyes, what Sakura loved the most about him, were a very pale hazel. And his skin was a healthy light tan.

Syaoran, a little suspicious, glanced from Karasu to Sakura. He thought to himself in a heated manner, 'Why are they looking at each other like that ? Why are they still shaking hands ?'

Apparently, Syaoran wasn't the only one to notice. Meiling and Kazumi, which were a bit separated from the rest, were whispering among themselves. "She's trying to take Syaoran, Eriol and now Karasu ? Who does she think she is ?"

Tomoyo looked at Syaoran's reaction and laughed quietly to herself. She then cleared her throat and turned to Sakura. "Sakura, could you accompany me to the bathroom ? Don't worry guys, we'll meet you in the room." Tomoyo then grabbed Sakura's hand and practically dragged through the door.

Sakura's hand slipped from Karasu's, as she spoke to him. "I'll see you later, Kuro-kun !"

Karasu nodded frantically. "I'll see you later, Kinomoto-san !"

With that, Sakura was out of sight.

Meiling, Kazumi and Syaoran stared at Karasu, asking at the same time. "What was that all about ?!"

Karasu, on the other hand, kept gazing the way Sakura had left, ignoring their question. "Guys.., I'm going to go buy my ticket. Which movie are we gonna see ?"

Syaoran raised a brow, curiously. "..Mr. Deeds."

Karasu nodded numbly and walked away.

Kazumi, Meiling and Syaoran looked at each other questionably.

~*~

Tomoyo dragged Sakura into the bathroom and stood in front of a sink, turning on the cold water, washing her hands.

Sakura stood in front of the door, looking to Tomoyo with a concerned look in her eyes. "..What's wrong, Tomoyo ?"

Tomoyo looked to Sakura in the mirror, smiling. "What do you mean ?"

Sakura sighed. "I mean, you dragged me out of there and I know it wasn't just to accompany you here. So, what's wrong ?"

Tomoyo turned the water off and turned around to face her. "What happened back there with Karasu ?"

Sakura's eyes widened in surpise. "I-..I was just giving him a proper greeting.."

Tomoyo roleld her eyes and laughed a bit. "Yeah, if you define proper staring into each other's eyes and not budging an inch."

Sakura cleared her throat and looked to her watch. "Look, Tomoyo. The movie is going to start ! Let's go !"

Sakura grabbed Tomoyo's hand and dashed out of the bathroom with Tomoyo laughing.

~*~

The theater room was very dark, as mosts rooms are, but Sakura and Tomoyo couldn't see a thing, much less where their friends were sitting at.

Tomoyo and Sakura were walking mid-way through the room now until someone called out to them.

"Psst, Kinomoto-san !"

Sakura and Tomoyo looked besides them and saw Karasu sitting at the end of the empty five seat row.

Tomoyo looked to Sakura and smiled. "Go on, sit with him. I think I saw the others over there."

Sakura nodded slowly. "If you're sure.."

Tomoyo nodded and shooed her off. "Go on, go on !" She then kept on walking until she found the others and sat next to Eriol.

Sakura watched Tomoyo walk ahead as she made her way to the seat next to Karasu's. "Hey.." She smiles warmly at him.

Karasu blushed lightly and smiled. "Hey.."

Sakura was about to say something else to him, but the movie began with the opening credits. She decided to talk to him later.

Further closer to the movie screen, sat the gang. Syaoran's head turned slightly, to face Sakura and Karasu. He mumbled some curses under his breath.

"Syaoran, shut up ! The movie already began.", Meiling whispered to him.

Syaoran growled a bit before turning back to the screen.

~*~

About half-way through the movie, Sakura felt a little thirsty, so she turned to Karasu and whispered to him, "Kuro-kun, I'm going to go get a drink, do you want anything ?"

Karasu turned his head to Sakura, and shook his head. "I'll go, alright ?"

Sakura laughed nervously and shook her head. "No, It's –"

Karasu stood up and interrupted her. "What do you want to drink ?"

She looked at him, a bit speechless but managed to stutter out the words. "Um.. a Sprite would be nice.."

Karasu smiled and nodded, as he made his way through. "I'll be back soon."

Sakura smiled as he walked out, thinking to herself, 'Kuro-kun is a very nice guy.. I wonder if he has a .. NO ! Stop thinking about that Sakura.. Jesus Christ..'

She shook her head and continued to watch the movie.

A few minutes later , Karasu came back and sat back down in his seat in the corner, handing Sakura her Sprite and placing his Pepsi in drink-holder in the arm rest.

Sakura smiled. "Thanks, Kuro-kun. Remind me to re-pay you later on."

Karasu smiled and nodded, taking a sip from his Pepsi, his attention back to the screen.

Sakura all of a sudden felt chilly. She cursed to herself for not bringing a jacket and wrapped her arms around her shoulders, shivering a little.

Karasu glanced at Sakura for a second before whispering, "Are you cold ..?"

Sakura looked to him and nodded. "A little.."

Karasu pondered something for a moment, nervously. "M-maybe I can keep you warm for a while ?"

She looked at him confused, before finally understanding, she blushed. "Oh, yeah. If you don't mind.. that is."

He shook his head and timidly slipped his arm around her shoulders.

Sakura's shivering subsided and she smiled, leaning closer, practically snuggling to him. And he didn't seem to mind.

Syaoran once again took a sneak peek behind him to the little 'couple' and managed to sustain a gasp. His eyes filled with pure jealousy as he saw them there, warming up to each other. Syaoran forced himself to tear his eyes from the sight and back to the movie, but his mind was still holding that image.

~*~

Once the movie was done, all seven of them walked out of the theater room, laughing as they then walked through the doors and made a halt right in front of the posters.

They began talking all at once about the movie and other little things for a few minutes, until Meiling cleared her throat and looked to Karasu and Sakura standing next to each other.

"So, I saw you guys together there. Keeping her warm, Karasu ? I bet Sakura enjoyed it."

Karasu struggled for words as his eyes seemed to be interested down in his black shoes. Sakura was just blushing and looking anywhere but to Meiling's eyes.

Syaoran coughed and glared at Meiling. But then Kazumi decided to join in with her own little grin. "Yes, you two were getting a bit.. no, more like really close to each other there."

Tomoyo sighed but tried to conceal her own laughter. "Meiling, Kazumi, that's enough for now. Listen, it's getting late and I have to get home. So, I'll see you all at school in Monday."

Tomoyo walked passed Sakura and quietly whispered to her, "Call me tomorrow." Tomoyo smiled mischievously and continued her way to the parking lot as they all waved to her.

Karasu groaned and slammed a hand to his forehead.

Kazumi looked to him weirdly. "What's your problem ?"

Karasu sighed. "I need to call my friend to come and pick me up, since you all know I don't have a car yet."

They all nodded silently as he walked to a Phone Booth nearby.

Sakura then had an idea and called out to Karasu. "Hey, Kuro-kun ! I could give you a ride if you want to.."

Karasu walked back to them, a slight blush barely visible on his cheeks. "You sure it won't be any trouble ?"

Sakura smiled and shook her head. "Nope, no problem at all."

Syaoran looked at them both, wide-eyes. He had to say something. "B-but, you- "

Karasu smiled and sighed in relief. "That's great, Kinomoto-san. Thanks. But, we better go now, I don't want to be late.."

Sakura nodded and then looked to everybody else. "I'll see you guys Monday. Take care !"

With that, Sakura motioned Karasu to follow her.

Meiling laughed and yelled out, "Be sure to keep her warm enough !"

Kazumi laughed at her little joke, but Syaoran only sighed and motioned the girls to follow him. "I think we better go too.."

They both shrugged and followed him to the car.

~*~

Sakura was driving out of the Theater's parking lot carefully and silently.

Karasu was sitting in the passenger's seat, looking out the window.

"So, Kuro-kun. Where do you live ?"

Karasu cleared his throat and began telling her the directions carefully.

Sakura nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I know where that is… You can turn on the radio if you'd like"

Karasu silently thanked God, because he was sure if they would fall into another awkward silence, he would die. He turned on the radio and began browsing stations, he left one on for a while, listening to see which song they were going to give. When he heard the song was 'Iris' by GooGoo Dolls he was going to change it but he stopped when he heard Sakura was singing along. He smiled and decided to leave it there, leaning back into his seat, and listening to her melodic voice.

Sakura smiled as she sang softly. "And I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't want to go home right now. And all I can taste is this moment, and all I can breathe is your life, 'cause sooner or later it's over. I just don't want to miss you tonight.''

Karasu was amazed by her voice. It was so delicate, he could almost feel himself be lured into a trance as he gazed at her, smiling.

Sakura, smiled toward him and continued her singing, while her eyes watched the road. "And I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am. And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, or the moment of truth in your lies. When everything feels like the movies, yeah, you'd bleed just to know if you're alive.''

Sakura stopped her singing and lowered the volume of the radio and then turned off the engine, looking to her right at a small pale-blue house. "Is this is, Kuro-kun ?"

Karasu, still in a trance, suddenly snapped awake and looked to the right. He smiled and nodded. "Yeah, that's my house. My parents aren't home yet, thank God."

Sakura laughed slightly. "It's a beautiful house.."

Karasu grinned. "Yeah, I guess. But it's nothing from the ordinary."

She shrugged and laughed.

Karasu unbuckled his seat belt and turned to Sakura, smiling softly. "Thanks a lot for the ride. I owe you.."

She smiled at him. "It was no problem. Think of it as my debt from that Sprite."

Karasu laughed lightly, but then his laugh died down.

Sakura looked at him worriedly. "..Something wrong ?"

Karasu took a deep breath and turned himself completely to Sakura, his voice low and gentle like a whisper. "… I would like to give you something else also.. If you don't mind."

Sakura took notice of his voice and smiled nervously. "O-of course not… what is it ..?"

Karasu swallowed nervously and leaned in closer to Sakura. Close enough that he had her pinned up against the door and his breath tickled her lips.

Sakura felt the heat of a blush creeping up to her cheeks. She knew what was coming, and she thought to her self, 'Hey.., you only live once, right ?'

She slowly closed her eyes as she felt his lips, soft on her silky ones.

Karasu wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her closer to him, while Sakura slid her arms around his neck, her fingers gently playing with the red hairs on the back of his neck.

He parted his lips along with hers, gently sliding his tongue through, teasing hers. He ran his tongue across the walls of her cheeks, while his hand softly caressed her cheek.

Sakura's soft moans filled his mouth, as her tongue did the same to his. She then parted from his lips just a tiny bit. Enough to allow Sakura to run the tip of her tongue across his upper lip, then sealing her mouth onto his again. Her hands ran through his silky red hair as she continued to kiss him.

Both of them kept this up for about half an hour and both of them were half naked. Just then they heard a car park behind them.

Karasu gasped and removed himself from Sakura, rubbing away some of the steam that the heat between them had caused on the back window.

"Who is it ?"

Karasu frantically put on the few articles of clothing he had taken off. "..My parents."

Sakura's eyes widened as she too put on her clothes quickly.

Once Karasu was finished he looked to Sakura. "Act natural, alright ?"

She nodded numbly.

"Um, before I go. Could you give me your phone number ?"

Sakura nodded and slowly said it to him.

Karasu nodded and recorded it into his mind. "I really better go now, I bet they're inside."

"Alright, I'll talk to you later."

Karasu smiled warmly to her and leaned in, kissing her cheek softly before opening the door and exclaiming loudly for his parents to hear. "Thank you for the ride, Sakura ! I hope to see you again soon !"

Sakura laughed quietly and also exclaimed. "Sure, anytime ! I'll see you later !"

Karasu winked at her and smiled, shutting the door.

Sakura waved and drove off.

Karasu walked into the house, greeted by his parents.

"She seemed very nice, Karasu.", His mother smiled.

He smiled and nodded. "She definitely is, Okaa-san."

His father thought for a moment. "Though her car windows were very fogged up. We couldn't see anything inside ! It must've been very hot in there."

Karasu laughed nervously at his parents being so naïve. "Yeah.. Heheh !"

His mother screamed pointing at his pants. "Dear, your zipper is open ! How embarrassing it must've been for you if that young girl took notice."

Karasu blushed furiously as he zipped it up quickly. "Yeah, Okaa-san~! Real embarrassing.."
