chapter two: Awkward, Awkward Moments
"Kero-chan!" shouted Sakura. She grabbed her furry little friend and hugged him. "I've missed you so much you have no idea!" she said. Tomoyo continued recording.
"I'm glad I got that on tape." she grinned.
"I missed me too!" said Kero-chan.
"Why are you back?" asked Sakura, letting him go. He floated over towards the center of the room.
"Well there's a very simple explanation for it." said Kero-chan. "I just don't have any idea what it is yet!" he grinned.
Sakura fell over, anime style. "Well there's got to be a reason for it." she said.
"Oh of course there is." said Kero-chan. "I just don't know what it is."
Tomoyo laughed. "What a reunion." she said. "And I've got it all on tape."
"Of course you do." said Kero-chan. "You wouldn't want to miss getting me on film, now would ya?" he grinned.
"We have sooo much catching up to do Kero-chan." said Sakura.
"Of course." said Kero-chan. "You have to tell me what you've been up to these past couple years. How are the Star Cards?" he asked.
"They're great!" said Sakura. "Of course, I haven't used them in a while. There hasn't been a reason to." she said.
"I'd used about as many tapes over the past 5 and a half years as I did when I was taping Sakura's card captures or her tests to transform the cards!" said Tomoyo. "I've had barely anything to tape!"
"Well, now that I'm back you'll have plenty to tape!" said Kero-chan. "The only reason I'm here is because something big is about to happen. Something really big." he said.
"Really?" asked Sakura.
"Well, I don't know." said Kero-chan. "I was just caught up in the moment."
Sakura fell over once again, anime style. "Kero!" she shouted.
"I'M HOME!!" shouted Fujitaka.
Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero-chan screamed. "Ahhh!" they shouted. Sakura grabbed Kero-chan and tossed him on her shelf. Then she grabbed the Clow and all the cards went back inside and she shoved it back on her shelf. Tomoyo shut off her camera and placed it by the computer. The door opened.
"Hello Sakura." said Fujikata. "And hello to you to Tomoyo."
"Hello Mr. Kinomoto." said Tomoyo.
"Hi Dad." said Sakura. "We had some brownies before, ok?"
"Sure!" said Fujikata. "Thats what they're there for."
"They were really good too." added Tomoyo.
"Well, I need to get some work done in my office." said Fujikata.
"Oh Dad wait!" called Sakura at her father's retreating back. "Touya emailed me, um, a week ago and he said he was coming home for the weekend." she said.
"Thats great! We'll have to make a big feast for him." replied Fujikata.
Sakura nodded. "Yup and I'll help cook." she said.
Fujikata grinned and left.
Kero-chan fell off the shelf as Tomoyo and Sakura sighed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sakura." said Tomoyo, leaning over in her seat. "Mrs. Tsukachi is handing back the tests already." she said.
"The bell hasn't even rung yet." said Sakura.
"I know but she said we have to make some spare time." replied Tomoyo.
Mrs Tsukachi came by and put both Sakura and Tomoyo's tests on their desks. Tomoyo looked at hers. "I got an 89. Thats around a B+ or A- right?" she asked.
Sakura stared at hers. She slowly picked it up. Her worried face changed to excitement. "YES! I did it! I passed!" she shouted. Her friends applauded, as the entire class heard her shout.
"What'd you get?" asked Tomoyo.
"I got a 78!" replied Sakura. "I'm going to pass math!"
"Congrats Sakura!" said Tomoyo. "We should go celebrate after school."
"Yeah." said Sakura, looking at her test paper, grinning broadly.
"Good morning Tomoeda High!" the principal's voice echoed over the loudspeaker. "I am pleased to announce a date for the Spring Fling. It will be in three weeks, Friday the 17th." he said. The class cheered. "I would also like to say that the Cheeleader Coach has twisted her ankle so practice has been canceled until further notice."
"Yes yes yes." said Sakura, punching the air.
"Lets give a round of applause to the Boys' Soccer team, who narrowly won their game yesterday against Caskikou High, 10-9!" he said. The class cheered. "Also, tenth graders, permission slips are due withing two weeks. Get them in!" he said. "So have a good day, Tomoeda High!" he said and hung up.
"Now class, before we begin our day I would like to introduce two new students to our class. Please welcome the first one, Leha Majori." Mrs. Tsukachi said. The door opened and a girl with medium length blonde hair and green eyes came in. She looked around at the class, but her glance at Sakura lasted slightly longer. "Leha? Introduce yourself." the teacher said.
"Hello. I am Leha Majori. I come from Ireland." the girl said.
"Hello Leha." replied some people in the class. Tomoyo was one of them.
"Now, where shall we sit you?" asked Mrs. Tsukachi. She looked around the class. "Ahh! There's a seat! In front of Chiharu. She said, pointing to the brunette. Chiharu sat in front of Tomoyo. Leha walked over and took a seat. All the boys used her as an excuse to turn around and look at Sakura. She put her head down.
"Class!" called Mrs Tsukachi. "We have another student!" she said. Slowly, the boys turned towards the front of the class. Sakura picked her head up. "I believe he has been to our school before." she said, looking at the paper she held. "Please welcome, Syaoran Li." she said.
The door opened and Sakura looked at it. In came a brown haired, amber eyed boy. Sakura's eyes grew wide. She began to grin.
"Syaoran? Tell us about yourself." said Mrs. Tsukachi.
"My name is Syaoran and I came from Hong Kong. And yes, I have been to the school before." he said. He skimmed the classroom.
'Maybe he doesn't recognize me.' Sakura thought.
"Yes Syaoran. Now we need to find you a seat." said Mrs Tsukachi. She skimmed the class. Sakura stood up.
"Mrs Tsukachi!" she called.
"Sakura sit down." the teacher said.
Syaoran looked over at Sakura. His eyes grew wide and a slight grin appeared on his face. Sakura sat down, still looking at Syaoran.
"Excuse me, teacher?" asked Syaoran. "But I see a few seats and one of them is behind Sakura." he said. "Also behind Tomoyo. And-"
"Ok." said Mrs. Tsukachi. "You can sit behind Sakura, seeing as you two know each other. But please, no talking." she said.
Syaoran walked over to the aisle and walked down it. Tomoyo was cursing herself for not bringing her camera and cursing the school for not allowing them. The class(boys) followed Syaoran, so they could really look at Sakura. But this time, Sakura didn't put her head down. Syaoran winked at Sakura as he passed her and sat in his desk behind her. Sakura grinned. Tomoyo was still cursing herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day went on and all Sakura could think about was Syaoran right behind her. As the in got closer to lunch, every five seconds, Sakura looked at the clock. Finally, the bell rang. The class got up.
"Oh Leha and Syaoran! I need to speak with you before you go to lunch. Don't worry it won't take very long." said Mrs. Tsukachi. "You can still eat your lunch." she said. Sakura turned around and looked at Syaoran.
"I'll wait for you outside." she said and dashed to catch up with Tomoyo. She caught up with her and was spinning in circles.
"Sakura." said Tomoyo, grinning. "Let me stop at my locker. I want to get my camera." she said. They walked to Tomoyo's locker and Sakura kept dancing in circles. "Got it!" said Tomoyo and she closed her locker.
"Hey Sakura!" called Chiharu. "Whats with you? You're, like, on Cloud Nine or something." she said.
Tomoyo grinned. "Yes she is." she said. Sakura continued swirling. Tomoyo started walking down the hall to get outside, Sakura followed, dancing oddly down the hall.
"Sakura!" called someone. She was too happy and carefree she didn't hear him. "Will you go to the Spring Fling with me?" he asked. Sakura just kept on dancing down the hall.
Tomoyo bowed. "I'm sorry but I think thats a no." she said and ran off after her friend.
"La. La la la." said Sakura, still dancing as she exited the building. She hopped on the railing and slid down it. She landed and kept dancing. Tomoyo ran down the stairs after her and started to record.
"I've got to show her how stupid she looks." she grinned.
Sakura stopped and sat on a bench. Tomoyo came over and sat next to her.
"Tomoyo-chan...I am so happy." said Sakura.
Tomoyo continued taping. "I can tell." she said.
More and more people came out until everyone who came outside to eat was out. The doors stayed closed, yet Sakura stared at them.
"Umm, Sakura?" asked a boy. She turned. "Will you go to the Spring Fling with me?"
"I'm sorry." said Sakura. "I can't." she said.
"Ok." said the boy and he walked away.
Sakura focussed her attention back on the doors. A total of seven more boys asked her to the Fling. She turned all of them down, except the last one, Tomoyo did for her because now nothing would stop Sakura from staring at the door.
Then, it opened. Sakura stood up. Tomoyo pressed record and aimed it at the door, then at Sakura, then back at the door. It was Syaoran.
"Syaoran!" Sakura shouted. She ran in his direction. He walked fast down the stairs. Tomoyo got everything on tape. She was smiling a smile so huge. But not nearly as big as Sakura's. She ran faster until she caught up with him. Three boys who were just going up to her, stopped and watched. Other people watched too.
Sakura grinned as she got closer and when she was face to face, she hugged him. Sinse she was running at him, he was pushed back by the force of the hug. Her feet went up in the air as he hugged back and spun her around. Millions of hearts shattered seeing this. (MK: haha boys, but sakura's got a man!! mwahahaha) Tomoyo got the entire thing on tape. She began to walk over to them just as they stopped spinning.
Still holding on, they looked at each other.
"Syaoran. I've missed you." said Sakura softly.
"Me too." said Syaoran. "Thats why I haven't emailed you in a while. We were packing up my things to come here. My computer was one of them." he said.
"No problem." said Sakura. "I'm really happy to see you and all, but why did you come back?" she asked.
"Mother sent me." replied Syaoran. "And I'm glad she did."
The two stopped hugging and walked over to Tomoyo. Sinse she was already walking towards them, they met halfway.
"Hey Syaoran." said Tomoyo. "Its great to see you!" she said cheerfully.
"Same here Tomoyo." replied Syaoran.
"And what brings you back here?" asked Tomoyo.
"My mother sent me." said Syaoran.
"Come on!" said Sakura, grabbing his arm. "We've got to eat lunch and catch up." she said, pulling him along. Tomoyo followed, still recording.
Sakura walked over and sat under the tree she had climbed the other day. She pulled Syaoran down next to her and Tomoyo sat down in front of them. Camera rolling.
"So." said Tomoyo, grinning widely. "What will the young couple do now that they are together again?" she asked.
"Tomoyo!" said Sakura, going red in the face. Syaoran was equally as red.
"Its just a question." grinned Tomoyo. "So...answer it." she said.
Sakura glanced at Syaoran and he did the same. They turned away. "Talk." said Sakura. "And catch up." she added.
"Oh thats it?" asked Tomoyo. Her grin got wider. "I wanted to see some action!" she laughed. Both of their faces went red as could be.
"TOMOYO!" shouted Sakura.
"Just kidding." said Tomoyo. "Although that memory will be very entertaining to watch in the future." she said.
"You were recording?!" asked Syaoran.
"Got the whole thing!" Tomoyo said.
Sakura and Syaoran sighed.
Then, the bell rang. This time everyone sighed. The three got up and headed back towards class, eating a snack along the way. They climbed up the stairs to the school, still talking.
"Syaoran. Tomoyo and I are going to celebrate my passing the math test. You have to come with us." said Sakura. She folded her hands in front of her face. "Please?" she asked.
"Yeah." said Syaoran. "I'll come but I need to go home first and check in with Wei."
"Just call him." said Tomoyo. Pulling out one of her three cell phones. "Not now, obviously, but after school." she said.
"Sure." said Syoaran. The final bell rang and the three of them took off towards class.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once again, in History, Sakura couldn't stay awake. She dozed off in her desk. She had another weird dream. This time, she was in her school uniform, with Tomoyo beside her and Syaoran in front of them. in a defensive kind of pose. She peeked around him and saw- Leha?
"Leha?" the dream Sakura asked. "The new girl Leha?" she asked.
The bell rang and everyone woke up. The teacher dimissed the class and everyone got up and sretched. Sakura whirled around in her seat and faced Syaoran.
"Have a nice nap, Sakura?" he asked.
"Oh." said Sakura, going a little red. "You saw? she asked.
"I did too." said Tomoyo, walking over. She sat on Sakura's desk. "So, what are the little lovebirds going to do after school today?" she asked.
"Tomoyo." said Sakura, going red again.
"Hee hee." grinned Tomoyo. "I just love to torture you two." she said.
"Yeah. We've noticed." said Sakura.
"Syaoran!" called Takashi Yamazaki. He had been Syaoran's friend when he was in the school before. He was also Chiharu's boyfriend. "Loooong time no see." he said. "You know, that when people were seperated for a long time in ancient Japan, they couldn't talk to each other for two days after they met again?" he asked.
"Can it." said Chiharu, smacking his head. "So Syaoran, nice to see you again."
"Yeah." said Naoko. "Its been a while."
"How's Meiling?" asked Rika.
"Hi to everyone and yeah it has been a while." replied Syaoran. "And Meiling is fine too." he said.
"Well thats good." said Naoko. "If you see her, tell her we say hi."
"Sure." said Syaoran.
"How come you came back here after so long?" asked Takashi.
"My mother sent me." said Syaoran. "I'll be here for a few months, maybe longer."
"Thats good to hear." said Naoko.
"Hey, Syaoran. Did you hear about the Spring Fling?" asked Rika.
"Yeah. I heard it over the loudspeaker this morning." replied Syaoran.
"Are you going?" asked Chiharu.
"You should!" said Naoko. "We can all go as friends, except for Chiharu and Takashi of course." she grinned.
"Sure." said Syaoran. "I'll go."
"And I'll bring my camera!" said Tomoyo. Syaoran and Sakura got what she was saying and they both whacked her head.
Their friends looked confused as Tomoyo grinned.
"Well, I need to get going. I have Piano Practice today and I really can't be late." said Rika. "My teacher hates it when I'm late." she said. She waved and left the class.
"See ya Rika!" called Naoko. "So, are we going to try and get dates for the Fling?"
"I'm just hoping to get some of it on tape." said Tomoyo. Once again, Sakura and Syaoran whacked her in the head.
"What is with you guys?" asked Chiharu. "You keep whacking her on the head!"
"No reason." said Sakura, throwing her arm around Tomoyo's shoulders.
"Well I need to get going." said Naoko. "Now that cheerleading has been canceled, I can go to that new book store on the corner of Aho and Luedtke Street(MK: those are my friends last names...ha). I'm been meaning to check it out." she said.
"Wait." said Chiharu, running to catch up with her. "I'll come too." then she turned around and grabbed Takashi's arm. "And you're coming with us." she said and walked off.
"Great!" said Tomoyo. "Now, we can go celebrate!" she said.
"Yeah!" said Sakura, standing up. "Ice cream!" she shouted. She ran out of the class towards her locker.
She ran down the hall, dancing and swirling happily. Many guys stared at her. She reached her locker and hummed happily as she opened the lock. She pulled off her slippers and slipped on her skates. One of them anyway. She had an idea.
When Syaoran and Tomoyo showed up at her locker, Sakura started rambling on about her idea.
"Sakura?" asked Syaoran. "Why do you only have one skate on?"
"Because!" said Sakura. "Tomoyo said she needs more stuff for her site, so I thought we could help!" she said. Syaoran raised an eyebrow.
"Are you going to give me some action!?" asked Tomoyo.
"No!" said Sakura, "Not that kind anyway. We're each going to put on a skate and we're going to skate and do tricks on the way to the Ice Cream Parlor."
"Great idea!" said Tomoyo. "That would be so perfect!" she said.
"So Syaoran. Put on the skate." said Sakura, giving him her other skate.
"I doubt its going to fit." he said.
"They're a little big on me so I'm sure they'll be fine on you." said Sakura. "Now put them on." she said.
Syaoran sighed. He took off the slipper/shoe and handed it to Sakura and took the skate from her. "At least they're not pink." he mumbled. He pulled it on. "It just barely fits."
"Great!" said Tomoyo. She pulled out her camera and started recording. "Excellant." she said, aiming at them.
"You can skate, though right?" asked Sakura.
"A little." replied Syaoran.
"This is gonna be great!" said Tomoyo happily.
Sakura put her slippers in her locker and put her sneaker on. Syaoran put his sneaker on too. She closed her locker and grabbed her bag and flung it over her shoulder.
"I don't think I can do this." said Syaoran, trying to stand on one skate. Sakura stood perfectly. He wobbled and fell over, catching himself on a locker.
"Oh come on!" said Sakura. "At least try!"
Syaoran stood up and stood perfectly still.
"Good!" said Sakura. "Now move."
Syaoran picked up his sneaker foot and tried to skate. He started to fall but Sakura caught his arm and pulled him up. "I can't do this." he said.
"Come on!" said Sakura. "Just skate." she said.
Syaoran moved his foot and slid a little. He put his other foot down and stopped.
"Good!" said Sakura. "Lets skate to the Parlor." she said. She skated down the hall and stopped. "At least skate over here." she said. Tomoyo taped. Syaoran raised his foot off the ground and gave himself a little push. Tomoyo grinned and pushed him.
"WAAHH!" he shouted as he slid down the hall, students jumping out of his way. His arms flailed wildly as he tried to stop and someone shouted, "Put your foot down!"
Syaoran skated towards the exit, near Sakura. She sighed as he got closer and closer. "Syaoran! Stop!" she said.
"I can't!" he shouted back at her.
Sakura's eyes grew wide as she realized for some reason, he couldn't stop. She began to skate out of the way, but he crashed into her and they both fell down. Tomoyo laughed as she zoomed in on the image.
Syaoran was on top of Sakura, and she was on the floor. Both of their eyes were closed, so when they opened them and Syaoran pushed off the ground, they both went redder than a balloon. Tomoyo laughed so hard.
"Ooo." said a really snobby girl. "Scandelous." she taunted. (MK: yes I know. its from the cartoon recess but it fits!) Even more hearts shattered. (MK: those poor, poor boys)
Syaoran sat up and kneeled as Sakura sat up and sat on her butt. Tomoyo dashed over to get it all on tape.
"Sorry about that." said Syaoran.
"Its ok." said Sakura. She stood up and helped Syaoan to his feet. Then they looked over at Tomoyo who was still taping.
"TOMOYO!!!" they shouted and ran over. They covered the lens.
"Ok ok!" said Tomoyo. "I'll stop taping!" she said, putting her camera down. "As long as I can tape you going to the Parlor." she said.
"That was the plan originally." said Sakura.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura skated on one foot down the street. She glided smoothly across the pavement, the wind blowing her hair behind her. Syaoran slowly skated behind her while Tomoyo taped it all. (MK: tomoyo and her camera...*sigh*)
"Come on you two!" called Sakura. She stopped and waited. Syaoran caught up and he stopped and they waited for Tomoyo.
"Go ahead! I gotta zoom in lens." she said.
Sakura started to skate but not before grabbing Syaoran's hand and pulling him along. "We can go really fast, if you want." said Sakura.
"No way." said Syaoran.
"Oh well." said Sakura. "Because we are!" she shouted and picked up speed. Syaoran wailed behind her as she went faster and faster. Syaoran stopped and she came flying backwards and crashed into him. They didn't fall this time, but they were face to face.
"I am not going fast." said Syaoran.
"Ok." said Sakura, grinning.
Meanwhile, Tomoyo stopped walking and continued recording. "Now what will happen?" she asked herself quietly. She grinned.
Sinse Syaoran had stopped skating and had pulled Sakura back towards him, his arm was around her waist and she had put her hands out to stop herself, but they were now on his shoulders, er, slightly below them. Oh yeah, Syaoran's other hand was on her shoulder.
Tomoyo zoomed in, possibly, possibly. The two leaned in closer, closer, so did Tomoyo's zoom in lens. Their eyes closed, and they leaned in closer and closer. Tomoyo was now exstatic. She zoomed in closer.
"Sakura?"
Sakura opened her eyes and turned. "WAAHH!" both she and Syaoran screamed.
"Hi Dad." she said.
"Damn." said Tomoyo, zooming out of her camera.
"Sakura," said Fujikata. "I-"
"Dad, this is Syaoran, remember him?" interupted Sakura.
"Vaguely." replied Fujikata. "And you're seeing each other now?" he asked.
"Well, no- not technically." said Sakura, going slightly red.
"I need to get home." said Fujikata. "Be home for dinner." he said.
As soon as he was out of sight, the three of them sighed.
"Can you imagine if that was Touya?" asked Sakura. "He probably would have beat you up." she said.
"No kidding." said Syaoran.
"The perfect shot!" whined Tomoyo. "Ruined!" she said.
Syaoran and Sakura sighed. "Lets just go get ice cream." she said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At the ice cream parlor, they all got ice cream. (MK: duh...lol i couldn't think of anything else to put...) Tomoyo got vanilla, Sakura got Strawberry and Syaoran got chocalate.
"Delish." said Tomoyo, finishing hers. "To Sakura! For passing math!" she said.
"To Sakura!" said Syaoran.
"To me!" grinned Sakura, they all ate their last bite. "I'm glad we came for ice cream. I haven't had any in a really long time." she said.
"Me neither." said Tomoyo.
"So Syaoran, how long are you staying?" asked Sakura.
"Actually, my mom said she'll tell me when I can come home." said Syaoran. "She acted all weird about it." he said.
"Huh." said Tomoyo. "Are you staying at the same place?"
"Yeah." replied Syaoran. "I'm staying with Wei."
"Can we come by and visit sometime?" asked Sakura.
"What?" asked Syaoran, going a little red.
"You know, to see Wei and stuff." said Sakura.
"Oh sure." said Syaoran.
"And what did you mean by stuff?" asked Tomoyo. "Anything I can see?"
"TOMOYO!" said Sakura. Tomoyo grinned and laughed.
"You should know by now I just like to torture. It brings me pleasure and you misery." said Tomoyo. "You guys really like each other, but don't have the guts to show it."
Sakura and Syaoran went red.
"Miss Daidouji." said a woman. She was dressed in a black suit. She had brown hair tied in a bun.
"Yes?" asked Tomoyo.
"Your mother wishes you home." said her bodyguard.
Tomoyo stood up. "Yes. All right." she said. Then she turned to Sakura and Syaoran. "Don't do anything I might want on tape, OR I'll make you reanact." she said.
Sakura glared at her as a limo appeared. Another bodyguard appeared and opened the door for Tomoyo. She climbed in and waved goodbye.
Sakura sighed. "She loves to video tape." she said.
"So, don't you have to be home for dinner?" asked Syaoran.
"Oh yeah!" said Sakura. She looked at her watch. "Dinner's around six...its about five thirty...I should get home." she said. She stood up and went to pay for the ice cream.
"Hey Sakura.." said Syaoran. She turned. "We're celebrating your passing math, I'll pay." he said. He walked passed her and payed for the ice cream.
"Thanks Syaoran." said Sakura.
"No problem." he replied. The two walked out of the parlor and headed down the street. The skates were off now and they just walked.
"Why don't you come to dinner one night." said Sakura. "At my house, lets say, Friday? This Friday?" she asked, going slightly red.
"Sure." said Syaoran. Going just as red. "What time?"
"I'll come and get you." replied Sakura. "I want to say Hi to Wei."
"What am I wearing?" asked Syaoran.
"Oh just jeans and a teeshirt." said Sakura. "My Dad will probably make something good. He always does." she said.
"Great."
"Before we eat, we can go hang out." said Sakura. "You know, I can teach you to skate better, or we can go play video games..or something."
"Sakura Kinomoto. Are you asking me out?"
Sakura grinned and blushed a little.
"Yes." said Syaoran. "I'll go."
"It could be fun."
"It will be fun."
They walked on to Sakura's house and their hands casually bumped into each other until both of them finally got the messege and clasped hands. (MK: poor Tomoyo. missing all the action! hehe well, maybe its becuz she's not there that all this is happening ...lol)
Reaching Sakura's house, they let go and she walked up the pathway to her front door. "See you tomarow Syaoran." she said, turning around.
"Bye Sakura." replied Syaoran.
Sakura grinned and went inside. "I'm HOME!" she called, taking off her shoes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Sakura." said Fujikata. "How are things at school?"
"Good." replied Sakura. "I passed my math test."
"Thats great Sakura-chan!" said Fujikata.
"I know. I went out and celebrated with Tomoyo and Syaoran." said Sakura, taking a bite of her chicken.
"Speaking of Syaoran.." said Fujikata.
"Dad." said Sakura. "I know what you saw."
"So do I," grinned Fujikata. "And I don't object."
"You don't?" asked Sakura.
"I like the boy." said Fujikata. "I can trust him around you and I know he won't let anything bad happen to you either."
"Well Dad, I'm glad you like him because I invited him to dinner on Friday." said Sakura. "Thats ok right?" she asked.
"Of course!" said Fujitaka. "But one thing, I know I like the boy, but as for Touya...."
"Don't worry Dad." said Sakura. "I'll make them get along. For my sake." she said.
"I hope." said Fujikata.
"It was a great dinner, Dad." said Sakura, standing up and putting her dish in the sink. "I have homework. I should get it done. See you later." she said and dashed upstairs.
She flopped on her bed, grinning wildy.
"Hey Sakura, whats with you?" asked Kero-chan, flying over.
"Oh nothing." said Sakura.
"Did you bring me any food?" asked Kero-chan.
"Sorry. I forgot." said Sakura. "I ate all my food downstairs and by the way, Touya's coming home for a visit so you'll have to go back to stuffed animal." she said.
"WHAT?" screamed Kero-chan. "I come out of the Clow and Touya's not here so no worries and YET I STILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR HIM??!!"
"Sorry." said Sakura. She grabbed her backpack. "Oh did I mention Syaoran came back?" she said, pulling out her math book.
"You mean that kid?"
"Yep." replied Sakura. "And he's coming to dinner this friday."
"WHAT?" asked Kero-chan.
"I figured sinse Touya isn't coming til Saturday, Syaoran can come over on Friday this way they won't have to see each other." explained Sakura.
"I still don't get you sometimes Sakura." said Kero-chan.
Sakura grinned.
to be continued.........
MD: argh! my chapters are loooonnngggg!!!! anyway, if u read the whole thing...lets me know what you think! r&r!!! pleeze
chapter two: Awkward, Awkward Moments
"Kero-chan!" shouted Sakura. She grabbed her furry little friend and hugged him. "I've missed you so much you have no idea!" she said. Tomoyo continued recording.
"I'm glad I got that on tape." she grinned.
"I missed me too!" said Kero-chan.
"Why are you back?" asked Sakura, letting him go. He floated over towards the center of the room.
"Well there's a very simple explanation for it." said Kero-chan. "I just don't have any idea what it is yet!" he grinned.
Sakura fell over, anime style. "Well there's got to be a reason for it." she said.
"Oh of course there is." said Kero-chan. "I just don't know what it is."
Tomoyo laughed. "What a reunion." she said. "And I've got it all on tape."
"Of course you do." said Kero-chan. "You wouldn't want to miss getting me on film, now would ya?" he grinned.
"We have sooo much catching up to do Kero-chan." said Sakura.
"Of course." said Kero-chan. "You have to tell me what you've been up to these past couple years. How are the Star Cards?" he asked.
"They're great!" said Sakura. "Of course, I haven't used them in a while. There hasn't been a reason to." she said.
"I'd used about as many tapes over the past 5 and a half years as I did when I was taping Sakura's card captures or her tests to transform the cards!" said Tomoyo. "I've had barely anything to tape!"
"Well, now that I'm back you'll have plenty to tape!" said Kero-chan. "The only reason I'm here is because something big is about to happen. Something really big." he said.
"Really?" asked Sakura.
"Well, I don't know." said Kero-chan. "I was just caught up in the moment."
Sakura fell over once again, anime style. "Kero!" she shouted.
"I'M HOME!!" shouted Fujitaka.
Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero-chan screamed. "Ahhh!" they shouted. Sakura grabbed Kero-chan and tossed him on her shelf. Then she grabbed the Clow and all the cards went back inside and she shoved it back on her shelf. Tomoyo shut off her camera and placed it by the computer. The door opened.
"Hello Sakura." said Fujikata. "And hello to you to Tomoyo."
"Hello Mr. Kinomoto." said Tomoyo.
"Hi Dad." said Sakura. "We had some brownies before, ok?"
"Sure!" said Fujikata. "Thats what they're there for."
"They were really good too." added Tomoyo.
"Well, I need to get some work done in my office." said Fujikata.
"Oh Dad wait!" called Sakura at her father's retreating back. "Touya emailed me, um, a week ago and he said he was coming home for the weekend." she said.
"Thats great! We'll have to make a big feast for him." replied Fujikata.
Sakura nodded. "Yup and I'll help cook." she said.
Fujikata grinned and left.
Kero-chan fell off the shelf as Tomoyo and Sakura sighed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sakura." said Tomoyo, leaning over in her seat. "Mrs. Tsukachi is handing back the tests already." she said.
"The bell hasn't even rung yet." said Sakura.
"I know but she said we have to make some spare time." replied Tomoyo.
Mrs Tsukachi came by and put both Sakura and Tomoyo's tests on their desks. Tomoyo looked at hers. "I got an 89. Thats around a B+ or A- right?" she asked.
Sakura stared at hers. She slowly picked it up. Her worried face changed to excitement. "YES! I did it! I passed!" she shouted. Her friends applauded, as the entire class heard her shout.
"What'd you get?" asked Tomoyo.
"I got a 78!" replied Sakura. "I'm going to pass math!"
"Congrats Sakura!" said Tomoyo. "We should go celebrate after school."
"Yeah." said Sakura, looking at her test paper, grinning broadly.
"Good morning Tomoeda High!" the principal's voice echoed over the loudspeaker. "I am pleased to announce a date for the Spring Fling. It will be in three weeks, Friday the 17th." he said. The class cheered. "I would also like to say that the Cheeleader Coach has twisted her ankle so practice has been canceled until further notice."
"Yes yes yes." said Sakura, punching the air.
"Lets give a round of applause to the Boys' Soccer team, who narrowly won their game yesterday against Caskikou High, 10-9!" he said. The class cheered. "Also, tenth graders, permission slips are due withing two weeks. Get them in!" he said. "So have a good day, Tomoeda High!" he said and hung up.
"Now class, before we begin our day I would like to introduce two new students to our class. Please welcome the first one, Leha Majori." Mrs. Tsukachi said. The door opened and a girl with medium length blonde hair and green eyes came in. She looked around at the class, but her glance at Sakura lasted slightly longer. "Leha? Introduce yourself." the teacher said.
"Hello. I am Leha Majori. I come from Ireland." the girl said.
"Hello Leha." replied some people in the class. Tomoyo was one of them.
"Now, where shall we sit you?" asked Mrs. Tsukachi. She looked around the class. "Ahh! There's a seat! In front of Chiharu. She said, pointing to the brunette. Chiharu sat in front of Tomoyo. Leha walked over and took a seat. All the boys used her as an excuse to turn around and look at Sakura. She put her head down.
"Class!" called Mrs Tsukachi. "We have another student!" she said. Slowly, the boys turned towards the front of the class. Sakura picked her head up. "I believe he has been to our school before." she said, looking at the paper she held. "Please welcome, Syaoran Li." she said.
The door opened and Sakura looked at it. In came a brown haired, amber eyed boy. Sakura's eyes grew wide. She began to grin.
"Syaoran? Tell us about yourself." said Mrs. Tsukachi.
"My name is Syaoran and I came from Hong Kong. And yes, I have been to the school before." he said. He skimmed the classroom.
'Maybe he doesn't recognize me.' Sakura thought.
"Yes Syaoran. Now we need to find you a seat." said Mrs Tsukachi. She skimmed the class. Sakura stood up.
"Mrs Tsukachi!" she called.
"Sakura sit down." the teacher said.
Syaoran looked over at Sakura. His eyes grew wide and a slight grin appeared on his face. Sakura sat down, still looking at Syaoran.
"Excuse me, teacher?" asked Syaoran. "But I see a few seats and one of them is behind Sakura." he said. "Also behind Tomoyo. And-"
"Ok." said Mrs. Tsukachi. "You can sit behind Sakura, seeing as you two know each other. But please, no talking." she said.
Syaoran walked over to the aisle and walked down it. Tomoyo was cursing herself for not bringing her camera and cursing the school for not allowing them. The class(boys) followed Syaoran, so they could really look at Sakura. But this time, Sakura didn't put her head down. Syaoran winked at Sakura as he passed her and sat in his desk behind her. Sakura grinned. Tomoyo was still cursing herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day went on and all Sakura could think about was Syaoran right behind her. As the in got closer to lunch, every five seconds, Sakura looked at the clock. Finally, the bell rang. The class got up.
"Oh Leha and Syaoran! I need to speak with you before you go to lunch. Don't worry it won't take very long." said Mrs. Tsukachi. "You can still eat your lunch." she said. Sakura turned around and looked at Syaoran.
"I'll wait for you outside." she said and dashed to catch up with Tomoyo. She caught up with her and was spinning in circles.
"Sakura." said Tomoyo, grinning. "Let me stop at my locker. I want to get my camera." she said. They walked to Tomoyo's locker and Sakura kept dancing in circles. "Got it!" said Tomoyo and she closed her locker.
"Hey Sakura!" called Chiharu. "Whats with you? You're, like, on Cloud Nine or something." she said.
Tomoyo grinned. "Yes she is." she said. Sakura continued swirling. Tomoyo started walking down the hall to get outside, Sakura followed, dancing oddly down the hall.
"Sakura!" called someone. She was too happy and carefree she didn't hear him. "Will you go to the Spring Fling with me?" he asked. Sakura just kept on dancing down the hall.
Tomoyo bowed. "I'm sorry but I think thats a no." she said and ran off after her friend.
"La. La la la." said Sakura, still dancing as she exited the building. She hopped on the railing and slid down it. She landed and kept dancing. Tomoyo ran down the stairs after her and started to record.
"I've got to show her how stupid she looks." she grinned.
Sakura stopped and sat on a bench. Tomoyo came over and sat next to her.
"Tomoyo-chan...I am so happy." said Sakura.
Tomoyo continued taping. "I can tell." she said.
More and more people came out until everyone who came outside to eat was out. The doors stayed closed, yet Sakura stared at them.
"Umm, Sakura?" asked a boy. She turned. "Will you go to the Spring Fling with me?"
"I'm sorry." said Sakura. "I can't." she said.
"Ok." said the boy and he walked away.
Sakura focussed her attention back on the doors. A total of seven more boys asked her to the Fling. She turned all of them down, except the last one, Tomoyo did for her because now nothing would stop Sakura from staring at the door.
Then, it opened. Sakura stood up. Tomoyo pressed record and aimed it at the door, then at Sakura, then back at the door. It was Syaoran.
"Syaoran!" Sakura shouted. She ran in his direction. He walked fast down the stairs. Tomoyo got everything on tape. She was smiling a smile so huge. But not nearly as big as Sakura's. She ran faster until she caught up with him. Three boys who were just going up to her, stopped and watched. Other people watched too.
Sakura grinned as she got closer and when she was face to face, she hugged him. Sinse she was running at him, he was pushed back by the force of the hug. Her feet went up in the air as he hugged back and spun her around. Millions of hearts shattered seeing this. (MK: haha boys, but sakura's got a man!! mwahahaha) Tomoyo got the entire thing on tape. She began to walk over to them just as they stopped spinning.
Still holding on, they looked at each other.
"Syaoran. I've missed you." said Sakura softly.
"Me too." said Syaoran. "Thats why I haven't emailed you in a while. We were packing up my things to come here. My computer was one of them." he said.
"No problem." said Sakura. "I'm really happy to see you and all, but why did you come back?" she asked.
"Mother sent me." replied Syaoran. "And I'm glad she did."
The two stopped hugging and walked over to Tomoyo. Sinse she was already walking towards them, they met halfway.
"Hey Syaoran." said Tomoyo. "Its great to see you!" she said cheerfully.
"Same here Tomoyo." replied Syaoran.
"And what brings you back here?" asked Tomoyo.
"My mother sent me." said Syaoran.
"Come on!" said Sakura, grabbing his arm. "We've got to eat lunch and catch up." she said, pulling him along. Tomoyo followed, still recording.
Sakura walked over and sat under the tree she had climbed the other day. She pulled Syaoran down next to her and Tomoyo sat down in front of them. Camera rolling.
"So." said Tomoyo, grinning widely. "What will the young couple do now that they are together again?" she asked.
"Tomoyo!" said Sakura, going red in the face. Syaoran was equally as red.
"Its just a question." grinned Tomoyo. "So...answer it." she said.
Sakura glanced at Syaoran and he did the same. They turned away. "Talk." said Sakura. "And catch up." she added.
"Oh thats it?" asked Tomoyo. Her grin got wider. "I wanted to see some action!" she laughed. Both of their faces went red as could be.
"TOMOYO!" shouted Sakura.
"Just kidding." said Tomoyo. "Although that memory will be very entertaining to watch in the future." she said.
"You were recording?!" asked Syaoran.
"Got the whole thing!" Tomoyo said.
Sakura and Syaoran sighed.
Then, the bell rang. This time everyone sighed. The three got up and headed back towards class, eating a snack along the way. They climbed up the stairs to the school, still talking.
"Syaoran. Tomoyo and I are going to celebrate my passing the math test. You have to come with us." said Sakura. She folded her hands in front of her face. "Please?" she asked.
"Yeah." said Syaoran. "I'll come but I need to go home first and check in with Wei."
"Just call him." said Tomoyo. Pulling out one of her three cell phones. "Not now, obviously, but after school." she said.
"Sure." said Syoaran. The final bell rang and the three of them took off towards class.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once again, in History, Sakura couldn't stay awake. She dozed off in her desk. She had another weird dream. This time, she was in her school uniform, with Tomoyo beside her and Syaoran in front of them. in a defensive kind of pose. She peeked around him and saw- Leha?
"Leha?" the dream Sakura asked. "The new girl Leha?" she asked.
The bell rang and everyone woke up. The teacher dimissed the class and everyone got up and sretched. Sakura whirled around in her seat and faced Syaoran.
"Have a nice nap, Sakura?" he asked.
"Oh." said Sakura, going a little red. "You saw? she asked.
"I did too." said Tomoyo, walking over. She sat on Sakura's desk. "So, what are the little lovebirds going to do after school today?" she asked.
"Tomoyo." said Sakura, going red again.
"Hee hee." grinned Tomoyo. "I just love to torture you two." she said.
"Yeah. We've noticed." said Sakura.
"Syaoran!" called Takashi Yamazaki. He had been Syaoran's friend when he was in the school before. He was also Chiharu's boyfriend. "Loooong time no see." he said. "You know, that when people were seperated for a long time in ancient Japan, they couldn't talk to each other for two days after they met again?" he asked.
"Can it." said Chiharu, smacking his head. "So Syaoran, nice to see you again."
"Yeah." said Naoko. "Its been a while."
"How's Meiling?" asked Rika.
"Hi to everyone and yeah it has been a while." replied Syaoran. "And Meiling is fine too." he said.
"Well thats good." said Naoko. "If you see her, tell her we say hi."
"Sure." said Syaoran.
"How come you came back here after so long?" asked Takashi.
"My mother sent me." said Syaoran. "I'll be here for a few months, maybe longer."
"Thats good to hear." said Naoko.
"Hey, Syaoran. Did you hear about the Spring Fling?" asked Rika.
"Yeah. I heard it over the loudspeaker this morning." replied Syaoran.
"Are you going?" asked Chiharu.
"You should!" said Naoko. "We can all go as friends, except for Chiharu and Takashi of course." she grinned.
"Sure." said Syaoran. "I'll go."
"And I'll bring my camera!" said Tomoyo. Syaoran and Sakura got what she was saying and they both whacked her head.
Their friends looked confused as Tomoyo grinned.
"Well, I need to get going. I have Piano Practice today and I really can't be late." said Rika. "My teacher hates it when I'm late." she said. She waved and left the class.
"See ya Rika!" called Naoko. "So, are we going to try and get dates for the Fling?"
"I'm just hoping to get some of it on tape." said Tomoyo. Once again, Sakura and Syaoran whacked her in the head.
"What is with you guys?" asked Chiharu. "You keep whacking her on the head!"
"No reason." said Sakura, throwing her arm around Tomoyo's shoulders.
"Well I need to get going." said Naoko. "Now that cheerleading has been canceled, I can go to that new book store on the corner of Aho and Luedtke Street(MK: those are my friends last names...ha). I'm been meaning to check it out." she said.
"Wait." said Chiharu, running to catch up with her. "I'll come too." then she turned around and grabbed Takashi's arm. "And you're coming with us." she said and walked off.
"Great!" said Tomoyo. "Now, we can go celebrate!" she said.
"Yeah!" said Sakura, standing up. "Ice cream!" she shouted. She ran out of the class towards her locker.
She ran down the hall, dancing and swirling happily. Many guys stared at her. She reached her locker and hummed happily as she opened the lock. She pulled off her slippers and slipped on her skates. One of them anyway. She had an idea.
When Syaoran and Tomoyo showed up at her locker, Sakura started rambling on about her idea.
"Sakura?" asked Syaoran. "Why do you only have one skate on?"
"Because!" said Sakura. "Tomoyo said she needs more stuff for her site, so I thought we could help!" she said. Syaoran raised an eyebrow.
"Are you going to give me some action!?" asked Tomoyo.
"No!" said Sakura, "Not that kind anyway. We're each going to put on a skate and we're going to skate and do tricks on the way to the Ice Cream Parlor."
"Great idea!" said Tomoyo. "That would be so perfect!" she said.
"So Syaoran. Put on the skate." said Sakura, giving him her other skate.
"I doubt its going to fit." he said.
"They're a little big on me so I'm sure they'll be fine on you." said Sakura. "Now put them on." she said.
Syaoran sighed. He took off the slipper/shoe and handed it to Sakura and took the skate from her. "At least they're not pink." he mumbled. He pulled it on. "It just barely fits."
"Great!" said Tomoyo. She pulled out her camera and started recording. "Excellant." she said, aiming at them.
"You can skate, though right?" asked Sakura.
"A little." replied Syaoran.
"This is gonna be great!" said Tomoyo happily.
Sakura put her slippers in her locker and put her sneaker on. Syaoran put his sneaker on too. She closed her locker and grabbed her bag and flung it over her shoulder.
"I don't think I can do this." said Syaoran, trying to stand on one skate. Sakura stood perfectly. He wobbled and fell over, catching himself on a locker.
"Oh come on!" said Sakura. "At least try!"
Syaoran stood up and stood perfectly still.
"Good!" said Sakura. "Now move."
Syaoran picked up his sneaker foot and tried to skate. He started to fall but Sakura caught his arm and pulled him up. "I can't do this." he said.
"Come on!" said Sakura. "Just skate." she said.
Syaoran moved his foot and slid a little. He put his other foot down and stopped.
"Good!" said Sakura. "Lets skate to the Parlor." she said. She skated down the hall and stopped. "At least skate over here." she said. Tomoyo taped. Syaoran raised his foot off the ground and gave himself a little push. Tomoyo grinned and pushed him.
"WAAHH!" he shouted as he slid down the hall, students jumping out of his way. His arms flailed wildly as he tried to stop and someone shouted, "Put your foot down!"
Syaoran skated towards the exit, near Sakura. She sighed as he got closer and closer. "Syaoran! Stop!" she said.
"I can't!" he shouted back at her.
Sakura's eyes grew wide as she realized for some reason, he couldn't stop. She began to skate out of the way, but he crashed into her and they both fell down. Tomoyo laughed as she zoomed in on the image.
Syaoran was on top of Sakura, and she was on the floor. Both of their eyes were closed, so when they opened them and Syaoran pushed off the ground, they both went redder than a balloon. Tomoyo laughed so hard.
"Ooo." said a really snobby girl. "Scandelous." she taunted. (MK: yes I know. its from the cartoon recess but it fits!) Even more hearts shattered. (MK: those poor, poor boys)
Syaoran sat up and kneeled as Sakura sat up and sat on her butt. Tomoyo dashed over to get it all on tape.
"Sorry about that." said Syaoran.
"Its ok." said Sakura. She stood up and helped Syaoan to his feet. Then they looked over at Tomoyo who was still taping.
"TOMOYO!!!" they shouted and ran over. They covered the lens.
"Ok ok!" said Tomoyo. "I'll stop taping!" she said, putting her camera down. "As long as I can tape you going to the Parlor." she said.
"That was the plan originally." said Sakura.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura skated on one foot down the street. She glided smoothly across the pavement, the wind blowing her hair behind her. Syaoran slowly skated behind her while Tomoyo taped it all. (MK: tomoyo and her camera...*sigh*)
"Come on you two!" called Sakura. She stopped and waited. Syaoran caught up and he stopped and they waited for Tomoyo.
"Go ahead! I gotta zoom in lens." she said.
Sakura started to skate but not before grabbing Syaoran's hand and pulling him along. "We can go really fast, if you want." said Sakura.
"No way." said Syaoran.
"Oh well." said Sakura. "Because we are!" she shouted and picked up speed. Syaoran wailed behind her as she went faster and faster. Syaoran stopped and she came flying backwards and crashed into him. They didn't fall this time, but they were face to face.
"I am not going fast." said Syaoran.
"Ok." said Sakura, grinning.
Meanwhile, Tomoyo stopped walking and continued recording. "Now what will happen?" she asked herself quietly. She grinned.
Sinse Syaoran had stopped skating and had pulled Sakura back towards him, his arm was around her waist and she had put her hands out to stop herself, but they were now on his shoulders, er, slightly below them. Oh yeah, Syaoran's other hand was on her shoulder.
Tomoyo zoomed in, possibly, possibly. The two leaned in closer, closer, so did Tomoyo's zoom in lens. Their eyes closed, and they leaned in closer and closer. Tomoyo was now exstatic. She zoomed in closer.
"Sakura?"
Sakura opened her eyes and turned. "WAAHH!" both she and Syaoran screamed.
"Hi Dad." she said.
"Damn." said Tomoyo, zooming out of her camera.
"Sakura," said Fujikata. "I-"
"Dad, this is Syaoran, remember him?" interupted Sakura.
"Vaguely." replied Fujikata. "And you're seeing each other now?" he asked.
"Well, no- not technically." said Sakura, going slightly red.
"I need to get home." said Fujikata. "Be home for dinner." he said.
As soon as he was out of sight, the three of them sighed.
"Can you imagine if that was Touya?" asked Sakura. "He probably would have beat you up." she said.
"No kidding." said Syaoran.
"The perfect shot!" whined Tomoyo. "Ruined!" she said.
Syaoran and Sakura sighed. "Lets just go get ice cream." she said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At the ice cream parlor, they all got ice cream. (MK: duh...lol i couldn't think of anything else to put...) Tomoyo got vanilla, Sakura got Strawberry and Syaoran got chocalate.
"Delish." said Tomoyo, finishing hers. "To Sakura! For passing math!" she said.
"To Sakura!" said Syaoran.
"To me!" grinned Sakura, they all ate their last bite. "I'm glad we came for ice cream. I haven't had any in a really long time." she said.
"Me neither." said Tomoyo.
"So Syaoran, how long are you staying?" asked Sakura.
"Actually, my mom said she'll tell me when I can come home." said Syaoran. "She acted all weird about it." he said.
"Huh." said Tomoyo. "Are you staying at the same place?"
"Yeah." replied Syaoran. "I'm staying with Wei."
"Can we come by and visit sometime?" asked Sakura.
"What?" asked Syaoran, going a little red.
"You know, to see Wei and stuff." said Sakura.
"Oh sure." said Syaoran.
"And what did you mean by stuff?" asked Tomoyo. "Anything I can see?"
"TOMOYO!" said Sakura. Tomoyo grinned and laughed.
"You should know by now I just like to torture. It brings me pleasure and you misery." said Tomoyo. "You guys really like each other, but don't have the guts to show it."
Sakura and Syaoran went red.
"Miss Daidouji." said a woman. She was dressed in a black suit. She had brown hair tied in a bun.
"Yes?" asked Tomoyo.
"Your mother wishes you home." said her bodyguard.
Tomoyo stood up. "Yes. All right." she said. Then she turned to Sakura and Syaoran. "Don't do anything I might want on tape, OR I'll make you reanact." she said.
Sakura glared at her as a limo appeared. Another bodyguard appeared and opened the door for Tomoyo. She climbed in and waved goodbye.
Sakura sighed. "She loves to video tape." she said.
"So, don't you have to be home for dinner?" asked Syaoran.
"Oh yeah!" said Sakura. She looked at her watch. "Dinner's around six...its about five thirty...I should get home." she said. She stood up and went to pay for the ice cream.
"Hey Sakura.." said Syaoran. She turned. "We're celebrating your passing math, I'll pay." he said. He walked passed her and payed for the ice cream.
"Thanks Syaoran." said Sakura.
"No problem." he replied. The two walked out of the parlor and headed down the street. The skates were off now and they just walked.
"Why don't you come to dinner one night." said Sakura. "At my house, lets say, Friday? This Friday?" she asked, going slightly red.
"Sure." said Syaoran. Going just as red. "What time?"
"I'll come and get you." replied Sakura. "I want to say Hi to Wei."
"What am I wearing?" asked Syaoran.
"Oh just jeans and a teeshirt." said Sakura. "My Dad will probably make something good. He always does." she said.
"Great."
"Before we eat, we can go hang out." said Sakura. "You know, I can teach you to skate better, or we can go play video games..or something."
"Sakura Kinomoto. Are you asking me out?"
Sakura grinned and blushed a little.
"Yes." said Syaoran. "I'll go."
"It could be fun."
"It will be fun."
They walked on to Sakura's house and their hands casually bumped into each other until both of them finally got the messege and clasped hands. (MK: poor Tomoyo. missing all the action! hehe well, maybe its becuz she's not there that all this is happening ...lol)
Reaching Sakura's house, they let go and she walked up the pathway to her front door. "See you tomarow Syaoran." she said, turning around.
"Bye Sakura." replied Syaoran.
Sakura grinned and went inside. "I'm HOME!" she called, taking off her shoes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Sakura." said Fujikata. "How are things at school?"
"Good." replied Sakura. "I passed my math test."
"Thats great Sakura-chan!" said Fujikata.
"I know. I went out and celebrated with Tomoyo and Syaoran." said Sakura, taking a bite of her chicken.
"Speaking of Syaoran.." said Fujikata.
"Dad." said Sakura. "I know what you saw."
"So do I," grinned Fujikata. "And I don't object."
"You don't?" asked Sakura.
"I like the boy." said Fujikata. "I can trust him around you and I know he won't let anything bad happen to you either."
"Well Dad, I'm glad you like him because I invited him to dinner on Friday." said Sakura. "Thats ok right?" she asked.
"Of course!" said Fujitaka. "But one thing, I know I like the boy, but as for Touya...."
"Don't worry Dad." said Sakura. "I'll make them get along. For my sake." she said.
"I hope." said Fujikata.
"It was a great dinner, Dad." said Sakura, standing up and putting her dish in the sink. "I have homework. I should get it done. See you later." she said and dashed upstairs.
She flopped on her bed, grinning wildy.
"Hey Sakura, whats with you?" asked Kero-chan, flying over.
"Oh nothing." said Sakura.
"Did you bring me any food?" asked Kero-chan.
"Sorry. I forgot." said Sakura. "I ate all my food downstairs and by the way, Touya's coming home for a visit so you'll have to go back to stuffed animal." she said.
"WHAT?" screamed Kero-chan. "I come out of the Clow and Touya's not here so no worries and YET I STILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR HIM??!!"
"Sorry." said Sakura. She grabbed her backpack. "Oh did I mention Syaoran came back?" she said, pulling out her math book.
"You mean that kid?"
"Yep." replied Sakura. "And he's coming to dinner this friday."
"WHAT?" asked Kero-chan.
"I figured sinse Touya isn't coming til Saturday, Syaoran can come over on Friday this way they won't have to see each other." explained Sakura.
"I still don't get you sometimes Sakura." said Kero-chan.
Sakura grinned.
