ENDLESS PASSION

Chapter 3 - Proposed

Lunch break was approaching while Sakura sits impatiently in her desk. She twirls her pen around her fingers while continuously counting the seconds left on the clock till twelve. She looks at Professor Takauchi and examines her mouth, wondering how it could talk endlessly about a topic. She noticed her stomach starting to growl in the middle of class, and glanced at the clock again. 'ohhh. . . . . . . . . . I'm so hungry! It's only 11:52. . . . . .'

She stares across from her desk to Syaoran, who was also twiddling his pen, but preforming some very neat tricks that kept Sakura looking for a longer time. She wondered if Syaoran was also bored.

Sakura turned around and looked at Eriol and Tomoyo, who was working hard to write down their notes and listening carefully to everyword Professor Takauchi had spoken. 'Sigh. . . . how do they understand this stuff?' Sakura thought to herself, then looked at the clock that reads 11:57.

"Sakura. . ." she heard someone whispering to her. Immediately, she see a small piece of candy appeared in front of her and landed neatly on top of the papers without any noise. She turned to Syaoran, who smiled at her. She could tell that he must have known she was hungry, so he tossed the small candy on Sakura's desk while Professor Takauchi was looking away. "Thank you. . ." Sakura whispered back.

"BBRRIIINNNGGGGGG!!!" The dismissal bell rang, as the students walked politely out of their classrooms for lunch break.

Sakura approached toSyaoran. "How did you know I was hungry?"

Syaoran chuckled, "I just knew!"

"Hehe," Tomoyo and Eriol joined. "We could hear your stomach growl miles away!"

Sakura sweatdropped and turned red with embarrassment. "It wasn't that loud. . . was it?"

Everyone laughed for a while. "Lets go the the field for our picnic before everyone gets there!" Eriol reminded, then everyone walked out the classroom.

~~~~~~~~~~

The four of them strolled down to the field to find a suitable place for the picnic. Eriol was holding the lunch basket while Syaoran takes the large blanket. The girls ran ahead towards a large tree then turned around to the boys, "Hey!! Let's have our picnic here in the shade!!"

"Coming!!" Syaoran and Eriol replied as they stumbled their way to Sakura and Tomoyo.

Syaoran swung the blanket loose and set it neatly on the grass. He smoothened the lumps on the blanket then sat on top of it. "aahhhh. . . . . ." he said as he enjoyed the wind blowing into his face. Sakura and Tomoyo joined him on the blanket while Eriol opens the lunch basket. He took out a large bowl of fruits, four large customized sandwiches for each of them, an apple pie, and some donuts.

"Wow! This lunch is great!!" Sakura screeched with delight. "Tomoyo, you did a really good job on the packing!"

"It was quite easy. . . all I had to do is give my maid a food list, and everything was ready and set this morning. I really didn't do much. . ." Tomoyo explained.

Everyone sweatdropped at Tomoyo.

The wind was extra mild today in the afternoon. The blooming blossoms blew towards their direction and made the scent of air sweeter than ever. Further away from them was a large baseball diamond that's occupied with people practicing for their national games.

The group was eating their mouth watering lunches slowly while watching one of the teams score two home runs. Syaoran was very focused in the game, Eriol glued his eyes on to a thick book, and Sakura and Tomoyo are having one of their conversations.

After a while, they finally finished all their food. Eriol and Tomoyo picked up the bowls and dishes and placed it neatly inside the basket. Syaoran was sweeping the crumbs and garbage off of the blanket, and gathered the pile into one big bag.

"I need to go to the washroom for a minute," Sakura told them. They nodded then continued cleaning up the mess. Sakura started heading towards the washrooms.

Syaoran suddenly snapped his fingers. "I should've gave Sakura the bag of garbage since the closest trash can is at the washrooms. . ." Syaoran stood up and picked up the bag. "I guess I'll go and toss this in the trash can. Maybe I'll catch up to her."

"We'll meet you back here in a while!" Eriol and Tomoyo reminded Syaoran while folding the blanket together.

~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Sakura was slowed down from her sprint and walked her way to the washroom. Suddenly, someone appeared infront of her and blocked her path.

Sakura was a little shocked by the sudden appearance of this person. She tried to look into his face, but his face was covered by a bouquet of flowers that he held in front of him. He nudges the flowers towards Sakura, and casually said "Hello!"

Sakura accepted the flowers, then held it away so she can see his face. The person looked exceptionally happy and was wearing a dark blue suit and a grean striped tie. "Josh? What are you doing here?" Sakura asked in a confused manner.

"My beautiful, today's sun shines brighter on my side! Please accept this gift from me and let a whole new friendship start upon us!" Josh recited with expression.

Sakura didn't know what to do so she just stood and listened to him.

"Sakura," Josh held the bouquet of flowers right in front of her face. "May I please escort you to dinner this Saturday night? It will be my pleasure!"

Sakura's heart was beating hard. 'A date?!? Why would he want a date with me? Doesn't he know I'm already Syaoran's girlfriend? How am I going to refuse his offer without hurting his feelings?' Sakura mind was very mixed up right now while looking away to the other direction to avoid eye contact with him.

"So, I shall take your answer as a yes!" Josh said happily.

"Umm. . . . uhh. . . well, you see. . . . I'm kind of busy this weekend. . . . ." Sakura tried to push his offer.

"I knew you would say that!" Josh interupted her. "So I've already cancelled all my Saturday plans this month and wait until you're not busy!"

"But I can't go out with you. . . . ." Sakura explained again.

"Let this beautiful love story start between us!" Josh didn't seem to hear Sakura's last words. He started reaching out his hands and grabbed Sakura's.

Sakura tried to swing his hands off of her's, but his grasp was very tight. Suddenly, there was a loud thump noise near by. Sakura turned around and saw a black garbage bag near by that caused the thumping noise. Beside the garbage bag was Syaoran, who was so shocked by the scene that he dropped it.

Sakura was completely shocked to see Syaoran's appearance. His face was burning red with anger and his eyes were glaring at Josh's hands, which was holding tightly to Sakura's arms. Sakura immediately swung her arms free from Josh's grasp, then looked seriously at Syaoran. "Please, let me explain. . . . ."

"Hey Syaoran!! What a coincident to see you here!" Josh interupted Sakura and approached Syaoran. "I was wondering if I could gain your approval to take Sakura out on Saturday. . . . ."

"Come out to the field with me!" Syaoran shouted at him. His icy cold stare shot directly at Josh's eyes.

"Sure!" Josh said confidently.

Sakura stood and watched the boys walk towards the field. 'Syaoran. . . . . .' she looked at him worriedly.

~~~~~~~~~~

Syaoran and Josh were standing across from one another in the middle of the field. Sakura stood aside and waited to see what they were doing. The wind was blowing viciously across to their hair as people gathered around the boys and wondered if something interesting was going to happen.

Eriol and Tomoyo was running towards Sakura from the other direction. "Sakura! What is Syaoran and Josh doing in the middle of the field?" Tomoyo asked.

Eriol noticed the bouquet of flowers with Josh's name written on the card, and figured out that Syaoran must have seen Josh asking Sakura out for a date. Eriol gently nudged Tomoyo and pointed at the flower. Tomoyo understood, then stood aside and left Sakura alone for a while.

Syaoran finally started talking. "We will settle everything here today!!"

"Settle what?" Josh asked stupidly. "Oh! You must be approving the date between me and Sakura!"

"Don't you ever touch Sakura again!" Syaoran yelled at him. "I have heard enough crap from you and I won't take it any longer. STOP GETTING CLOSE TO SAKURA!!"

Josh chuckled under his breath. "Hey hey hey! It's not like Sakura's married or anything. . . . . as long as she's still not married, I should have the chance to take her out as much as I want!" He argued.

Syaoran grew angrier. "I'm warning you for the last time. . . . . .STAY AWAY FROM SAKURA!! . . . . . . .or else. . ." Syaoran started cracking some of his knuckles.

"Is this a threat?"" Josh replied back while forming his hands into a fist.

"You've asked for it," Syaoran whispered, then started charging towards him. 'Hah, beating up this bastard should be very easy!'

Josh put his hands across his head, getting ready to block Syaoran's attack. He was still smiling with confidence. The crowd around the two boys grew larger.

"STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!" Sakura shouted. Some tears started forming inside her eyes while she wiped it with the back of her hand. "Why can't we settle this without violence?"

Tomoyo immediately comforted Sakura with a warm hug and offered her a kleenex. Syaoran stopped charging towards Josh while he was putting down his arm from his head.

"I don't want to see any one of you hurt," Sakura sniffed. "Syaoran. . .I'm sorry. I can explain. . ."

"Sakura!" Syaoran snapped. "If I don't teach him a lesson now, he will just keep bothering you! I don't care whatever you say, but I won't leave until this fight is over!" Syaoran's words were so harsh that it kept Sakura silent and shocked for a while.

"And that's the same for me," Josh added. "Once I beat him up today, I can finally win your love, Sakura!"

Right when he finished his words, he sends his fist right across Syaoran's face, causing him to fly across the field and landed face first.

"Uugghhh. . ." Syaoran grunted. He put his hand over the big purple bruise on his face and wiped off some blood that's dripping at the side of his mouth.

"Syaoran!!" Sakura screamed and she ran towards him. Immediately, Eriol ran in front of her and stopped her from going closer to Syaoran.

"Eriol, get out of my way!" Sakura ordered. Her face was all red from the sting of her tears.

"Sakura, just let them settle this themselves. It's useless to stop them now," Eriol explained to her as he tried to calm her down.

Sakura took a deep breath and thought deeply over Eriol's words, then moved back to where she was.

"Hahaha!!! Accept your defeat yet?" Josh humiliated Syaoran.

Syaoran pushed himself up, refusing to let him humiliate himself anymore. His left cheek had a red swollen fist mark causing him to shut his left eye a bit. "You've caught me when I wasn't noticing, but it won't be so easy next time.!" Syaoran shouted then charged towards him again.

Josh grinned, then held his hands across his head again to block Syaoran's attack. Syaoran meant to hit his face, but punched his arms instead which was in front of his face.

"Hah, you are so predictable, Syaoran!" Josh laughed.

"That's what you think. . ." Syaoran said quitely. He immediately jabbed Josh's stomach with his elbow. The blow was so hard that it caused Josh to fall on his knees and crying in agony.

Without even giving a chance for Josh to move, Syaoran gave him a hard kick on the face that made him fall on the ground with a loud thump. Josh held his stomach tightly as he started breathing hard to show his pain. The fight was over and the crowd around them faded away.

Syaoran spit some blood on the ground and held on to his cheek.. Sakura ran over to Syaoran and started wiping off the blood off his face with a kleenex. Syaoran wrapped his hands around Sakura and whispered to her ears, "I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. . ."

"You didn't have to fight. . ." tears ran down Sakura's cheeks. Syaoran wiped her teary face, then held her tighter.

"Let's go. . ." Syaoran said quietly as he put his arms around Sakura's shoulders. But Sakura was suddenly stopped by Josh, who was grabbing on to her legs.

"Sakura, don't leave me. . ." Josh cried weakly.

Syaoran, who was angry to see Josh holding on the Sakura's leg, stepped on his hand so hard that it must have broke a bone. "Listen, this time I've only beat you to the ground. Next time, you'll be six feet below, got it?! Sakura is my girlfriend! You touch her ever again and I'll kill you!!" Syaoran's words was so harsh that it startled Sakura.

Syaoran finally let go of Josh's hand and walked away with Sakura. Tomoyo and Eriol saw Josh so injured that they just had to help him. They started wiping off some blood off his face and hand, then bandaged it with the hankerchief they had in the lunch basket. Josh face looked like he had lost all his will.

After all the bandaging was done, Josh limped away without thanking Eriol and Tomoyo. They shrugged, then sprinted back trying to catch up with Sakura and Syaoran.

Chibiwinwin: EEEKKKK!!!! This chapter was so lame!!! Owell, I couldn't think of something to write. (That's why I think I should plan ahead before writing this chapter) But anywayz, please review and tell me how to improve on this story so it could be as good as 'If You Only Knew'. Thank you!!

If you feel bored, please come to my webpage www.geocities.com/magical_crazee_trio/ And sign my guestbook too!!!

Oh yeah!! And the phrase that Syaoran said, ("Listen, this time I've only beat you to the ground. Next time, you'll be six feet below, got it?! Sakura is my girlfriend! You touch her ever again and I'll kill you!!") I sort of got this idea from the anime Ranma ½ when he told Sanzenin in the skating rink episode about what will happen if he touched Akane. . .I don't know but I thought it sound's good to be between Sakura and Syaoran. The original phrase is suppose to be "Next time you'll be six feet below. . .GOT IT! Akane is my fiancee! You touch her and I'll kill you!!"

I dunno, I just thought I should tell this to the Ranma fans. . .^_^
