Here We Go

They stayed that way through out the night, with Syaoran's arms around Sakura's shoulders, Sakura's head rested on Syaoran's collarbone and her hands around his waist.

-----

Syaoran opened his eyes. 'This isn't my room' he thought, frowning. He tried to sit up as he realised the sleeping girl next to him. Scenes of last night came back to him. He got out of the bed quietly and went back to his room to get change and get Meiling's uniform. He went back to check on Sakura as he put the uniform on the end of the bed.

The girl was still sound asleep. A warm smile started on his lips. She looks like an angel, lying there in the bed with her waist long honey brown hair spread around her. Under those eyelids with their long lashes, is the most beautiful emerald eyes you could find.

Syaoran stood there for a while, hen went downstairs to prepare their breakfast. The breakfast was made and everything done when Syaoran started to wonder how long can the girl sleep, since they are going to be late if she sleeps any longer. He took his apron off and decided to check on Sakura again.

-----

"Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty" a voice was calling her.

"Mmmm. I want to sleep." Sakura mumbled. Syaoran looked at her, shaking his head helplessly.

"Hey Sakura, if you don't wake up now, we'll be late." Syaoran sat down on the bed and bend down. "Sakura?"

Her eyes opened slowly, only to see Syaoran's handsome face inches away from hers. "AHHHHHH!" She yelled.

"Ouch Sakura!" Syaoran winced at the high-pitched scream. "I'm only telling you that we'll be late if you don't wake up at more then late of you don't get ready now."

"Sorry, Syaoran. didn't mean it." Sakura smiled sheepishly at him. Syaoran rolled his eyes.

"Here is some Miling's uniform I found, get change quickly and go downstairs to eat your breakfast, okay?" Syaoran said, pointing at the pile of clothes at the end of the bed that he had put previously.

"Okay." Sakura nodded and got out of the bed as Syaoran exited the room.

-----

Tomoyo entered the classroom to find that only Eriol has arrived. "Wow, I thought that Syaoran is Mr. Punctual. He is usually here whenever I arrive, plus I'm pretty late today."

"I know," Eriol replied. "I kinda wonders what is happening over there ." Eriol grinned evilly.

"Same here." Tomoyo smiled, as evil as him.

They were interrupted by a loud noise outside the classroom. The door opened as Sakura and Syaoran entered. They were arguing.

"It's all your fault!" "How am I supposed to know that you will need something or someone to wake you up in the morning?" "Miaka wakes me up all the time!" "Well that's your problem. I wonder why you were never late." "Because I eat fast." "Yeah, and you nearly chocked yourself this morning." "Did not!" "Yeah right" None of them seems to be able to think of words to fight so they changed into a glaring contest. Huge sweat drops rolled down Tomoyo and Eriol's head.

-------

In the other side of the room, Naomi watched with interest. So this fragile looking girl is her enemy. Funny. She had heard everything from Ken, about his fiancee saying that she will not marry him, and she will not allow this to happen to her as well. Especially not after her realisation of the one she loves. (In another words, she loves Syaoran.)

-------

"Hey, has Meiling rang you and told you about the party the night we graduated?" Syaoran asked Eriol and Tomoyo suddenly.

Tomoyo nodded yes but Eriol frowned. Seeing this, Sakura explained to Eriol. "Meiling rang us this morning and told us that the Li Elders had decided to held a party to celebrate Syaoran finishing high school, as well as announcing who Syaoran is engage to."

"Sakura, you have to promise me that I can me your costume, please?" Tomoyo begged, her eyes shiny.

"O.ok." Sakura answered, a puzzle look forming on her face. Syaoran behind her raised an eyebrow and Eriol shrugged in answer. They all know how good Tomoyo is in making costumes and how much she likes to tape.

"Go Syaoran!" Sakura and the girls yelled. It is lunch break right now and the girls are sitting under a tree cheering, watching along with others, at Syaoran and the guys playing soccer with another team. "Go Eriol! Go Takashi!" They yelled loudly.

"Hey guys, I'm going to go and grab a drink. Anyone wanna to come with me?" Tomoyo asked as she stood up.

"I'll go." Rika got up and they left. Few seconds later, Naoko and Chiharu decided to follow Tomoyo and Rika, so they left, leaving Sakura sitting under the tree alone.

Sakura sat with one hand under her chin as her eyes followed Syaoran around. The running Syaoran on the soccer field looks like a big boy. His hair is as messy as usual but his shirt is untucked and his tie is no-where to be seen. For a second, Syaoran and her eyes made contact. He threw her a bright smile. Sakura smiled back and blushed scarlet.

"Well, Well, isn't this interesting." A voice appeared behind her. Sakura turned and saw Naomi walking out from behind the tree. "I see that you are the one that wants my fiance." She stated.

"What if that's true?" Sakura asked mildly. Anger seems to shot through Naomi's face as it went red and white.

"I will not allow that to happen." Naomi said though gritted teeth. This is the first time in her whole life that someone actually dared to speak to her like that, since she is the most precious thing of her parents. An idea came to her. "You've heard about the party that the Li's are having, right?" She asked. Sakura nodded in reply and Naomi continued, "That night, the Li Elders will decide who Syaoran's fiancee will be. And on that night will be the night that we'll see who wins."

"Challenge accepted." Sakura said as Naomi turned and left. Tomoyo walked pass Naomi and knew that Naomi was up to no good. Later that day, Sakura told Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol what happened during lunchtime and they all agreed that they shall not worry about it until that day. which will com, pretty soon.

Days passed quickly as the year 12s graduated. Surprisingly, Sakura got a good mark in math, which she thanked Syaoran for all his benefits by making him a green scarf. (I know this sounds very familiar. Muahahahaha ^^ll)

Tomoyo started to prepare both Sakura and her costume ever since two weeks before the party and would not let anyone see it. They arrived at the Li mansion on the day the party is held. Tomoyo and Meiling brought Sakura around the place, showing her peoples and around the house, though she didn't get to see Syaoran's mother- Yelen, and the Li Elders.

Evening, everything was prepared and ready as they all changed into their evening gowns. Syaoran and Eriol was wearing tux, waiting on the hallway for the girls to appear.

The door opened as Tomoyo and Meiling stepped out. Meiling was wearing a red Chinese traditional gown with her hair tie up the usual way- two buns with some hair down. Tomoyo was wearing a navy blue sleeveless long gown. Her hair was tied up in a bun only leaving two strips of hair at the front. She smiled at the guys then turned to back in the door, "Sakura, don't be shy. Come out!" Sakura mumbled something in reply but wouldn't come out no matter what Tomoyo and Meiling persuaded.

"Yeah, we don't have all night to wait for you." Meiling teased, it's the truth anyway.

Sakura stepped out of the room. Eriol raised an eyebrow and Syaoran was stunned.
