Chapter 8:Trying hard to admit one's love...

"Oh!!!!! What.what happened to everyone!!!!!!!!" she shrieked, as she rushed out of Li's room. Everything was quiet. Nothing was to be heard, except for the ticking of the clock. She slowly, walked towards the living room. Suddenly, she heard a soft breathing coming from the couch.

"Who.who could that be?.." Sakura said. She was a little scared. Finally, she went to the couch. There, lying down on the couch, was Li. "Huh?.. It's Li.." Sakura said. Again she blushed. Sakura got shocked at herself and touched her cheek. "I.I don't get it, why am I keep blushing?" she asked herself. Sakura calmed down after and sat down in front of Li, looking at him with a puzzled face.

"Oh.poor Li, I must have put him through a lot of trouble." she said quietly with a sad face. "But.how on earth did I get here?" she thought as she looked around. Suddenly, Li made a soft moan and slowly opened his eyes. When he did, he realized that he was facing Sakura.

"a.AHHHH!!! s.SAKURA!!!???" he yelled as he instantly got up from the couch, blushing in a deep crimson. Sakura got really shocked by this, and backed away from Li a bit, with a little gasp.

"G.GOMEN!!! I..I DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE YOU!!." Sakura instantly said, as she looked down at the floor, blushing with embarrassment. Li looked at her, also with a really shocked face.

"It.It's ok.."Li said quietly, as he looked away. "It's now or never, I HAVE to tell her!!" Li said as he glanced at Sakura again. "S.SAKURA!!!" he suddenly yelled, which frightened Sakura. She looked at him with a surprised face and said "nani?" with a sweet voice.

"A..A." he said, as he blushed furiously while looking at Sakura. Sakura just stared at him with a shocked face. Suddenly, they heard a door open and close from someone's room. A person walked slowly towards the living room. Li and Sakura quickly turned around to see who it was. It was Tomoyo.

Li just looked away sadly, and glanced at Sakura again. She was still crouched down in a kneeling position. Li just sighed and went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. He was still blushing. Tomoyo looked at Sakura and Li, and smiled at them. She knew what Li was about to say, but Tomoyo didn't want to tell Sakura how Li felt about her because she wanted Li to say it to her in person.

Sakura then stood up slowly from her crouching position, and walked to Tomoyo. She glanced at Li now and then with a curious face as she walked towards Tomoyo, while Li looked at her slightly as well. It looked like Li was cursing himself because he was muttering something. Finally, she went to Tomoyo and asked her.

"That was weird.I'm sure that Li was really going to tell me something this time." Sakura said with a grin. Tomoyo just smiled and patted her friend on her right shoulder and said "you'll soon find out." and walked away. Sakura found this strange. Then, as they were standing there, they saw Mei-lin come out of her room. She looked sad, and very depressed. She had cried even more after what Li told her. Sakura got worried and walked towards her.

"Mei-lin. are you ok?" she asked with a worried look. Mei-lin looked up at Sakura and smiled. "I..I'm fine.don't worry.." she replied, as she walked to the living room. Her smile slowly disappeared into a frown.

"Oh.." Sakura said with a puzzled expression, as she walked to the living room as well. Tomoyo and Mei-lin were sitting on the couch, looking at a piece of paper. Li was in the kitchen cooking pancakes. He glanced at Sakura and burned one of his fingers on the stove.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Li yelled a piercing scream. Mei-lin and Tomoyo looked at him in shock. He blew his finger as fast as he could. His face was red, and his finger was burnt. "Oh!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura gasped as she ran towards Li. Again, Li was cursing himself because of his stupidity.

"Are you ok???!!!!" Sakura yelled, as she touched Li's finger gently with a worried frown. Sakura was blowing it softly. Li blushed like crazy, as his eyes went wide. Mei-lin and Tomoyo was watching the two and thought "Sakura and Li makes a good couple.". Li didn't say anything for a moment, but just blushed a deep red. His eyes still wide.

"I.I'm fine.." He finally said as he looked away from Sakura. Sakura then asked Mei-lin, "where's the first aid kit, Mei-lin?". Mei-lin pointed to a shelf, and Sakura dashed towards it. She got the first aid kit, and told Li to sit down. She took Li's finger again, which made him blush even more. She blew it again and put a little cast around it.

"There, does that feel better?" Sakura said as she smiled at Li. Li blushed like a ripe tomato as he looked at Sakura. Sakura gave him a little surprised look, because he didn't say anything.

"I.I'm fine!!!.." he replied. "That's good." Sakura said, smiling at Li again which made him blush softly. "Hey!!!!! Do you guys want to go to the fair today?" Tomoyo suddenly said. "Huh?" Li and Sakura both said as they looked at Tomoyo with a surprised look.

"Sure!!!" Sakura suddenly said, cheerfully. "GREAT!!!! Let's go to the fair after breakfast!" Tomoyo said happily. Sakura and Tomoyo both called their parents to tell them where they were going. "Yeah!!! We're going to the fair!!!" Sakura yelled, as Tomoyo and Mei-lin smiled at her.

Suddenly, they heard someone say "ahhhhh..that was a good sleep..". It was Kero. "mmmmm...that smells DELICIOUS!!!" he yelled as he flew towards where the pancakes were.

"No Kero!!! They're not ready yet!!!" Sakura yelled as she grabbed Kero's tail tightly. "awww, man!!!!!" Kero yelled. "Oh yeah..my clothes..." Sakura said as she looked at her clothes. They were ripped and she still had bruises and scratches. Mei-lin then said "no, don't worry about it, you can borrow my clothes.and you can keep them too!" Mei-lin said to Sakura. "thanks.." Sakura replied, smiling. "But.my scratches and bruises." Sakura said sadly as she looked around her body.

Li then looked at Sakura, and said slowly "I'll.I'll fix that up for you." he said, blushing. "O, hohohohoho~~~" Tomoyo thought as she giggled by herself. "Oh.thanks." Sakura replied. Li then took the first aid kit and said "come to my room.it'll be easier to fix up your wounds there." he said quietly, as he went to his room. "sure." Sakura said.

When they were in the room Li said "Lie down in my bed, so I can fix your wounds.". Sakura then lied down on his bed. Li blushed as he sat down near her. "Um.can you lift up your shirt.?" he said, as he looked at Sakura, blushing hard. He wanted to fix her wounds on her stomach.

"Sure." she replied as she slowly lift up her shirt. Li choked when he saw this, and blushed until his head would explode. "A.are you ok, Syaoran- kun??.." she asked with a worried look. "H.huh? I.I'm fine." Li replied with a deep blushing face. Finally, he fixed up all of the wounds. "Thanks Li.your sweet" Sakura said smiling at him sweetly. This took his breath away. "She thinks..that I'm.sweet?!." Li thought as he blushed even more. "S..Sakura!!!!" he said with a harsh voice that scared Sakura. "Mmm?" She asked with a puzzled look. Li was blushing a brilliant red.

"I.I.." He said with a serious and a blushing face. Sakura just stared at him with shock without saying anything. "Are you guys done yet? We're going to be late if we don't hurry!" they heard someone say. Again, it was Tomoyo. Li was feeling uncomfortable because every time he tried to tell Sakura, someone always interrupted. Sakura moved her head to look at Tomoyo and said "yep! We're done!!!" and made her way to the door. Just when she was about to leave, she turned around slowly and looked at Li with a puzzled grin. Li was forcing himself to look away, with a blushing face.

"Baka!!!!!!" he thought to himself. Then he went out to the living room. Sakura dressed in the clothes that Mei-lin gave her. It was a blue dress with a little white bow in the front. There was a blue hat that went with it which was decorated with pink peonies. When Sakura came out and asked how she looked, everyone agreed that it was nice.
