Chapter Four: Who's fooling


Sakura and Syaoran finished watching the movie and got home in time for dinner by this time the weather had, had a strange turn and it was raining. They had told the limo driver to go home and they would walk. So by the time they got home they were drenched and laughing. They found out that they both loved the rain. The came up the driveway singing and screaming and laughing.

Tomoyo heard them and opened the door and said, "Well aren't you two having fun."

"Oh yeah," said Sakura, "I've never had so much fun, there was Whitney and the playdium and a movie all in one day. It was great!"

"Whitney?" said Tomoyo.

"Yeah Whitney," said Syaoran, "That was lots of fun. I loved seeing the look on her face."

"Ok, ok, slow down you two. Who are you talking about? And Who his Whitney? And you are you going to come out of rain?" asked Tomoyo.

"Oh right," said Sakura, "it's raining."

"Yeah come inside you two," said Tomoyo.

So the two came in and went directly to their rooms to change. They came back about 15 minutes to see Tomoyo sitting by a fire in one of the many living rooms in the Li Mansion.

"Hey there Tomoyo," said Sakura.

"Hey, nice to see you back and dry," said Tomoyo.

"What about me? Isn't it nice to see that I'm dry too?" said Li as he walked into the room.

"Yeah great to see you too," said Tomoyo, "Now you guys tell me about this Whitney you've been talking about."

"Oh her," said Sakura.

"Yeah, that was fun," said Syaoran.

"What happened?" asked Tomoyo.

"Well Syaoran pushed me into a purse store so of course I asked what was up and he told me he saw and ex girlfriend of his. Anyways this girl was Whitney and she's not very nice at all and he told me this so anyways she comes up to us and she's like 'Syaoran is that you?' in this sweet voice. Whatever! Sweet is not one of her strong points. Anyways Syaoran minutes before had said he lied to her about having a girlfriend so anyways she said to Syaoran 'Is this your girlfriend, the worthy one?' and he kind of mumbled for a few minutes and I answered for him. I said yes that I was his girlfriend so she wouldn't find out. I said all this stuff like how happy we were together. She asked all these questions and she told me that if I had any sense that I would dump him. So I told her I loved him and she said prove it so I went over to Syaoran and I kissed him, like this," said Sakura going over Sakura a kissing him and Syaoran well he did what he had done that time and put his arms around near her waist.

"Woah," said Tomoyo.

"Yeah," said Sakura pulling away, "That's what Syaoran said after."

"Yeah," said Syaoran blushing slightly. He was totally trying to hide the blush and didn't quite get it all.

"Anyways she got totally mad and walked off then I went over and started kissing Syaoran again and I counted in my head 3,2,1 and then she turned around and stormed off even faster. It was hilarious," said Sakura.

"Yeah, it really was," said Syaoran.

"So anyways we went to the playdium and we had just bought our cards when who shows up again but Whitney and her boyfriend Marshall. So anyways Syaoran puts his arms around me and we start talking about affection and stuff. So anyways I made a comment about Marshall not holding Whitney and she said, 'We're just not as showy' or something like that. Anyways I turned around I started kissing Syaoran again to make her mad. So anyways she wasn't finished talking but her boyfriend who has more sense than her told her they were leaving. Anyways Syaoran swept me into his arms and said 'Let's go dear' really loud so she would hear and she did and turned around," said Sakura.

"Woah, seems like you two had a lot of fun," said Tomoyo.

"And that's only part of it," said Sakura.

"Really?" said Tomoyo.

"Yeah," said Sakura.

"Yeah there is a bit more. We were done playing at the playdium and we decided to see a movie. Anyways I had a feeling we were being watched and I knew it was by Whitney. So I swept Sakura off her feet and I started to kiss her. Then I screamed out 'I LOVE SAKURA! SHE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL ON THE PLANET' and that made Whitney really mad anyways after that we watched Whitney for awhile and she was having some fight and then her boyfriend Marshall took her into her arms and started to kiss her. After that we were relieved and we went to see the movie," said Syaoran.

"Woah," said Tomoyo, "That is some kinda day."

"Yeah and it was so much fun. Pressing her buttons like that," said Sakura.

"You should have seen some of the faces she made when she saw us," said Syaoran, "Priceless."

"Definitely," said Sakura.

"Dinner is ready," said Wei.

"Thanks Wei," said Syaoran.

"I wonder what we're having though I don't think I'll eat very much. I'm pretty full from lunch still," said Sakura.

"When did you guys have lunch?" asked Tomoyo.

"About 3 o'clock," said Syaoran.

"No wonder you guys won't be hungry and after that you went and saw a movie right?" said Tomoyo.

"About half an hour after that we saw the movie," said Syaoran.

"Did you get any candy, drinks, popcorn, etc?" asked Tomoyo.

"All of the above," said Sakura.

"Oh Sakura, you a) should eat that much and b) especially before dinner," said Tomoyo.

"Yeah and the sound of dinner is starting to make me feel nauseous," said Sakura.

"Me too," said Syaoran.

"Good evening Tomoyo and Sakura," said Yelan.

"Good evening Mrs. Li," said Sakura and Tomoyo.

Sakura took one look at the exquisite dinner in front of her and thought she was going to be sick.

"Maybe I be excused from dinner?" asked Sakura.

"But you haven't even touched it," said Sonomi.

"I'm not hungry," said Sakura.

"May I be excused as well?" asked Syaoran.

"You too? Why?" asked his mother Yelan.

"I'm not hungry either," said Syaoran.

"Did you two eat before supper?" asked Sonomi sternly.

"Yeah," said Sakura.

"Yes," said Syaoran.

"Well since this meal was prepared for you two and since you two are not eating it, I want three laps around the Li estate," said Yelan.

"The whole estate?" asked Sakura.

"The Whole estate," said Yelan.

"Yes mother we'll go get changed," said Syaoran.

"Then you two may be excused," said Yelan.

As the two left Syaoran asked Sakura, "Did you bring something comfortable to run in?"

"Yes, luckily. I brought a pair of shorts and the shirt I use for running," said Sakura.

"I'll meet you down stairs in a few minutes," said Li.

"Alright then," said Sakura.

In a few minutes both stood in a pair of runners with Sakura's hair back in a high pony tail.

"Let's go," said Li.

"Right," said Sakura.

"So the two ran out into the rain and out the front gates and around the estate. Both were good runners so this was easy but the estate was huge. It had to be about at least 1 block along each side. So they ran and ran and the rain was great because it was cold and it cooled them down. They ran in complete silence till about half way through the 3rd lap.

"Does you mom always do this when you eat before dinner?" asked Sakura.

"I don't know. I usually don't eat before dinner and when I do I usually run around the gardens to work up some kinda appetite and eat a bit of it," said Syaoran.

"Oh, well I think I've learned my lesson. I don't think I'll be doing that again, ever," said Sakura.

"Me either," said Syaoran.

Finally both were back in front of the estate. They were both cold by now and drenched so they ran down the pathway opened the doors took off their shoes and ran to their rooms.

When Sakura entered her room Tomoyo was sitting on her bed with a book.

"Hello Sakura," said Tomoyo.

"Hello Tomoyo," said Sakura.

"How was your run," asked Tomoyo.

"Really long and really wet. Anyways I'm going to have a shower and get dressed in my pj's.

"Alright then," said Tomoyo.

About half an hour later Sakura came back with wet hair and was dressed her pj's.

"So did you have fun 'acting' today?" asked Tomoyo.

"Yeah I did and don't I think I didn't notice you emphasizing the word acting," said Sakura.

"Well was it really acting or do you have a thing for Syaoran?" asked Tomoyo.

"I don't know, I was just acting at the time," said Sakura.

"Sure, sure," said Tomoyo.

"I was but I must say Syaoran is a fabulous kisser," said Sakura.

"I wonder if he says the same thing about you," said Tomoyo.

"Hehe," said Sakura blushing.

"See there's that blush, you do like him. You can't fool me!" said Tomoyo.

"Fine, I think that he's kinda cute and he's a great kisser," said Sakura.

"Just cute?" said Tomoyo.

"Fine, totally hot and when I kiss him I melt," said Sakura.

"Yeah I figured so," said Tomoyo, "I just wanted some confirmation."

"The funny thing is I went out today really having no feelings for him at all but when I kissed him to make Whitney jealous I felt this connection between us," said Sakura.

"Aww that is so sweet. Did he ever kiss you? Like go for the kiss instead of you?" asked Tomoyo.

"Yeah once. Whitney wasn't even close. But she was near, he could feel it and I saw it when we stopped kissing," said Sakura.

"This is too crazy," said Tomoyo.

"What's crazy?" asked Sakura.

"This whole situation. You guys went out to hang out and you end up coming back with a huge crush on him and you kissed him several times. Have you completely forgot about Ben?" said Tomoyo.

"Well yeah, it is kinda crazy but as…What? Ben, back home? You know I don't care anymore. He had plenty of chances to tell me. But he didn't," said Sakura.

"Neither has Syaoran," said Tomoyo.

"Yeah, but I've kissed him. You don't know the comfort in that. He hasn't said anything but at least I've kissed him," said Sakura.

"Yeah, that's true," said Tomoyo.

Meanwhile with Syaoran…

Syaoran laid down on his bed looking at the ceiling.

=Man she's so beautiful and what a kisser! I wish she was here right now I just want to take her into my arms and kiss her= thought Syaoran.

"Such a beautiful girl. I wish Whitney was around so we could make her jealous," said Syaoran.

*DING DONG*

=Who could be knocking on our door at such a late time?= thought Syaoran.

Syaoran walked down the stairs and saw Sakura come out of her room.

Both walked together towards the door. At the door was Whitney soaked and crying.

"Whitney?" said Syaoran, "What are you doing here?"

"It's Marshall, he dumped me," said Whitney.

=Smart guy= thought Syaoran.

"Oh, I suggest going home and soaking in the bath and thinking why he might of dumped you," said Syaoran.

"Syaoran!" said Sakura.

"What?!" said Syaoran.

"Show some compassion," said Sakura.

"I'm sorry Sakura and I'm sorry Whitney," said Syaoran.

"That's better," said Sakura.

"He just left me and didn't even say anything. He kissed me today and I thought maybe things would be okay again but it wasn't and he left me," said Whitney crying.

"It's ok," said Sakura giving Whitney a hug. "Go make tea and get a fire or something started," mouthed Sakura.

"Ok," mouth Syaoran.

Syaoran went to the kitchen and asked the maid to make them tea and hot chocolate and then he asked one of the hired help to get a fire started in the East Den.

"Come on Whitney, we'll go warm by the fire in the den," said Syaoran a few minutes later.

"Thanks for being so understanding," said Whitney. =I can't believe he's falling for this.= she thought.

=If she thinks I'm falling for this, she is sadly mistaken= thought Syaoran.

=Poor Whitney losing Marshall= thought Sakura.

"Syaoran," said Whitney.

"Yes?" said Syaoran.

"Would you do me a favour?" asked Whitney.

"Depends what it is," said Syaoran. Then Sakura hit his arm. "I mean yeah sure."

"Would you hold me?" asked Whitney.

"I don't know, Whitney you know I have a girlfriend and umm…" said Syaoran.

"It's okay," said Sakura.

"Alright then," said Syaoran.

He took Whitney into his arms and held her tight.

=Man I don't want to do this. This brings back old memories= thought Syaoran.

=I'm in Syaoran's arms again. This is so great!= thought Whitney crying.

"She is faking this all. I know she is. I know her well," mouthed Syaoran.

"I know. Well I didn't just play along I'll do something big," mouthed Sakura.

"I can't stand this. You two your meant for each other and it hurts seeing this," said Sakura running from the room and out the door of then den and into the gardens.

"Sakura no wait," said Syaoran, "I have to go."

"No Syaoran, don't leave me," said Whitney.

"Remember you left me first and now Sakura has left me too," said Syaoran running out the door.

"Sakura, Sakura where are you?" yelled Syaoran.

"Syaoran, I'm over here," said Sakura calling from under a willow tree.

"Sakura that was brilliant," said Syaoran.

"Thanks," said Sakura.

"I bet she watching from the den window," said Syaoran.

"Another acting job? What are we going to do?" asked Sakura.

"This is what we are going to do. Your going to run from the tree and I'm going to say wait and then we're going to have this fight about how you can't stand seeing us together and then I'll say some stuff and you'll go off to storm off somewhere and don't forget tears and then I'll grab your arm and pull you into a kiss and then you'll start crying because your like sorry and we'll end up sitting on the ground and I'll be holding you telling you it'll be alright and you'll still be crying and I'll just hold you and yeah and eventually we'll come out of the rain and back inside. Maybe if we're lucky she'll just leave," said Syaoran.

"Good idea," said Sakura, "Here I go."

"Sakura wait," yelled Syaoran coming out from under the tree. (Sure enough Whitney was watching from the den door)

"Syaoran, I can't stand this. I love you but seeing you guys like that, it hurts," said Sakura.

"I'm sorry. You said it was alright so I held her. She was in pain," said Syaoran.

"I know that but still. You still have feelings for her don't you?" said Sakura.

"No, I love only one girl and that's you Sakura," said Syaoran.

"How can I trust you?" yelled Sakura.

"I-I don't know," said Syaoran.

"Then I think it's over between us," said Sakura walking away.

"No Sakura," said Syaoran grabbing her arm and pulling her into a kiss. At first Sakura resisted but then embraced the kiss and stood there in the rain kissing Syaoran. Finally they both pulled away gently.

"Syaoran, I can't do this," said Sakura crying.

"Sakura, I love you," said Syaoran.

"I know, I know," said Sakura crying and falling to the ground on her knees.

"It's okay," said Syaoran holding her.

"Is it really?" said Sakura.

"Yeah it'll be okay. Our love will get us through that," said Syaoran.

"Oh Syaoran, I need you more than anything," said Sakura hugging Syaoran tightly.

"It's okay," said Syaoran.

"I know, it'll be fine," said Sakura wiping her tears on his shoulder.

"Now please stop crying," said Syaoran.

"I'll try," said Sakura.

"Maybe this will help," said Syaoran leaning forward and embracing Sakura in another passionate kiss.

By this time Whitney had seen enough. Marshall hadn't dumped her and her plan hadn't worked. So she left. That last kiss was too much. And the things they told each other. She heard everything. She put her shoes back on a walked out of the house into the rain.

Sakura pulled away from the kiss with a smile on her face.

"She's gone," said Syaoran.

"I know," said Sakura.

"Oh yeah. We are the best," said Syaoran.

"And don't you forget it," said Sakura, "But maybe we should go back inside and dry off."

"Yeah," said Syaoran.

So the two walked back to the house drenched and walked into the den where they were greeted by Wei, Yelan, Sonomi and Tomoyo.

"Hi," said Sakura nervously.

"What were you guys doing?" asked Yelan.

"Going for a walk in the rain?" said Syaoran.

"I mean the whole thing about Sakura leaving you and the tears and the kissing," said Yelan.

"We want to know the meaning of this," said Sonomi.

"Well Sakura told me I could hold Whitney and comfort her and she got upset and ran out the door and I ran after her," said Syaoran.

"Really?" said Sonomi looking at Syaoran suspiciously.

"Yes Aunt Sonomi," said Sakura.

"I had no idea that you guys were even dating," said Sonomi.

"Me either," said Yelan.

"Well umm…" said Syaoran.

"We learned that we were soul mates," said Sakura.

"Yeah, I love this girl a lot," said Syaoran.

"Then why did you hurt her?" asked Yelan.

"I didn't mean to. She told me it was ok," said Syaoran.

"It is never ok," said Sonomi.

"I'm sorry and I just spent time outside in the pouring rain confessing my love for her and gaining back her trust because I love her so much," said Syaoran.

"Yes, we know," said Yelan, "We all heard everything you guys said."

"Yeah I've forgiven Syaoran," said Sakura going over to Syaoran, "I love him very much and I don't want fight anymore."

"If that is what you want, I respect that," said Sonomi.

"Thank you," said Sakura.

"Son is this what you really want?" asked Yelan.

"Yes, I love her and I hate it when we fight," said Syaoran.

"Alright then, you two are free to go," said Yelan.

"Thank you," they both said walking to their rooms to get changed.

"I'll be going now too," said Tomoyo.

"Goodnight," said Sonomi.

"Goodnight Mother," said Tomoyo walking to her room.

"Who knew they would both fall in love so fast?" said Sonomi.

"Yeah who knew?" said Yelan. She knew the truth unlike Sonomi. But she also knew that both really and truly did love each other and she knew that it was their destiny to be together.

"That was close," said Sakura leaning against the door.

"Your telling me," said Tomoyo, "You've convinced them both that you two are truly in love."

"Well it's not completely a lie. I do really like him and maybe I could go as far as the word love. He's such a sweet guy and who knows," said Sakura.

"So are you going to have a shower?" asked Tomoyo.

"No, I'll change and I'm going to bed. I'm tired," said Sakura yawning.

"Alright then, I'll say goodnight now," said Tomoyo.

"You going to bed too?" asked Sakura.

"Yup," said Tomoyo climbing into her bed.

"Goodnight then," said Sakura going through the door to her room.

So both the girls went to bed and to sleep.

Meanwhile Syaoran was in his room wide awake.

=Man I lied to my mom and told him that me and Sakura were going out? How is this ever going to work out? I love Sakura and all but when she goes back to Canada, I'm never going to see her again.=

Syaoran sighs. "What have I gotten myself into?" he asked himself.

"How am I going to keep this charade going on? I'm not her boyfriend and if she leaves then the truth will come out and I'll be screwed and then. Oh gosh, what am I going to do!" said Syaoran.

Syaoran paced around his room several times before finally settling down.

"I'm just going to go to bed and see how all this works out," said Syaoran.

With that Syaoran laid down on his bed and fell aleep. That night he had the dream again. Well similar anyways.

He was in a forest surrounding by tall pine trees. He looked all around him not knowing what to expect. When all of the sudden something bites him and runs off. The bite glows and heals.

=What the heck just happened?= thought Syaoran.

"Syaoran, help!" said a voice.

"Sakura!" said Syaoran, "Where are you?!"

"Use the lasin board!" said Sakura, "Please hurry!"

Syaoran took out the lasin board. It directed him in north westerly direction. He ran and called our Sakura's name. Eventually he got closer. Finally he saw her. She was in the arms of a hideous beast. She was fighting and punching to get free but the beast over powered her in that field easily.

"Let her go!" yelled Syaoran.

"Don't let him hurt me, don't let him bite me," said Sakura.

"Bite you.. what?!" said Syaoran.

"That's right I'm going to bite her and turn into what I am, a werewolf, just as I have turned you into a werewolf," said the hideous beast who really wasn't so hideous. Just looked like a dog.

"You never turned me into a werewolf," said Syaoran.

"Don't remember when I ran after you and bit you. I watched you watch the would suddenly heal itself," said the werewolf, "and now you will watch while I turn her into a werewolf."

"Don't you dare touch her!" yelled Syaoran running at him.

The werewolf hit Syaoran hard in the face dropping Sakura.

Syaoran immediately wolfed out and became a werewolf. He looked at his hands which were now paws.

"NO!" yelled Syaoran. He quickly looked at Sakura and ran over to her.

"You leave her alone," growled Syaoran.

"Make me, wolf boy," said the werewolf.

"If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get," said Syaoran raising his sword.

"Swords? Is that really fair?" said the werewolf sarcastically.

"Are you fair, I don't think so," said Syaoran taking a swipe at him. The werewolf went to hit him with the same blow he did in the gardens. Syaoran expected this and moved quickly and slashed the werewolf in the stomach. The wound was deep and the werewolf bled the death. As he lay there dead he started to change.

"Who are you really?" said Syaoran.


*RING RING*

"What a weird dream," said Syaoran.

Syaoran was still super tired and he quickly had a shower and got dressed and went down for breakfast. When he got the table the only one there was Sakura.

"Good morning Sakura," said Syaoran.

"Good morning Syaoran," said Sakura.

"Should I sit beside you?" asked Syaoran.

"Yeah I think so," said Sakura as Tomoyo walked in.

"You think what?" asked Tomoyo.

"She thinks that we should all go do something together today," said Syaoran.

"That sounds great but I'd be a pain. You know what they say two's company and three's a crowd," said Tomoyo.

"What if the two were two couples?" asked Syaoran.

"What do you mean?" asked Tomoyo.

"I happen to have a friend of mine who just got back in today I believe and I think you two might hit it off," said Syaoran.

"Really?" said Tomoyo.

"Yeah, I'll go call him," said Syaoran.

"Alright then," said Tomoyo.

"So how are you today Tomoyo?" asked Sakura.

"I'm fine, but how long are you going to go on with this charade?" asked Tomoyo.

"I don't know. Till we leave I suppose. After that I don't quite know. It's not all bad; this is like a dream come true. Although it's a fake dream based on lies and fraud. But still," said Sakura.

"True, but what happens after we leave? We need to work that out," said Tomoyo.

"Yeah I know, and I'm worried because I have no plan. I've never been like this before. I always have a plan, but for once in my life, I'm planless," said Sakura.

"Planless? Sakura I don't think that's a word," said Tomoyo.

"Oh well, it's the truth I'm planless and it doesn't matter if it's an actual word," said Sakura.

"I'm back, did you miss me?" said Syaoran.

"Yeah sure," said Sakura smiling.

"Yeah sure, what an answer. Anyways I called my friend and he'll meet us wherever we're going," said Syaoran.

"Where are we going?" asked Tomoyo.

"How does this sound? A picnic in the park and then a boat ride on my yacht and then a movie near the end," said Syaoran.

"Sounds, good, but we are not eating anything at the movie theatres," said Sakura.

"Right," said Syaoran.

"Who is your friend?" asked Tomoyo.

"You'll see," said Syaoran, "It'll be a surprise."

"Oh great, a blind date," said Tomoyo.

"Trust me, I think you'll really like this guy. He's really nice and you remind me of him in a way," said Syaoran.

"Oh alright anyways, I'm hungry let's have breakfast," said Tomoyo.

So the three friends sat down to a nice breakfast anticipating the fun day ahead of them.
