Coming Back To You

Chapter 04 - Keep me Company?

Since the last day of class, Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Chiharu, Takashi, Rika and Naoko were hanging out together as much as possible. Syaoran got incredibly close with all the group in no time.

It was now 6 o' clock and they were in a festival (I won't put a name because I might write something stupid. Could anyone e-mail me the festivals names in Japan?). They stopped by a shooting range. Chiharu approached Takashi and made Sakura's perfect imitation of the killers 'puppy dog eyes'.

Trying to sound very sweet, Chiharu asked him to get one of those stuffed animals at the shooting range and, in exchange, invite him to dinner at her house. Takashi, being Takashi, raised his hands to the sky asking for forgiveness, saying he would always pray to not get sick by eating her food. Chiharu was already fed up with him and started choking his neck giving a really funny scene

"Ok, I'll try." He payed the man. When he gave Takashi the 'gun', he pointed his index finger up. "Hey, did you know that a long time ago, Egyptians used to play games involving aim in a very peculiar way?" Takashi approached the man, "They had the bow but they didn't have the arrows. Then, they discovered they could use shoes instead of arrows." The man nodded, "BUT! They weren't ordinary shoes. They were made from the most expensive kind of wood." The man listened curiously, "But the worst problem was that they didn't have targets like nowadays. So they aimed in the eyes of the sphinxess. They usually created competitions to see who was the best among them. The winner could have the honor to shake the faraoh's hand and..."

"I HAD ENOUGH!" Chihary smacked him in the back of his head, "STOP LYING AND PLAY THAT GAME NOW OR I'LL BE FORCED TO HIT YOU AGAIN!!!" The man sweatdropped.

"Hai, hai." He said rubbing the back of his head. "These are the times I really miss Hiiragizawa-kun..."

The target was divided in three circles and a dot in the middle. The biggest circle worth 10 points, the middle one 20 points, the smallest one worth 30 points and the dot worth 40 points.

Takashi had three shots only. He got one in middle, one in the smallest and one in the dot, 90 points! He won a nice teddy bear and gave it to Chiharu.

They were about to go when they heard Syaoran's voice from behind. He had already payed the man. Syaoran aimed and fired three times on the dot, 120 points! The group and the man's eyes widened. They just couldn't believe.

"Thanks god all my costumers aren't as good as you!" The man said

"I'm not that good..." Syaoran said shyly, "Here Sakura, please accept this gift." Syaoran handed the prize for the highest score to Sakura, a beautiful white rabbit.

Sakura blushed, "Thanks..." She smiled.

They were walking again. Suddenly, Syaoran felt a nudge on his arm. Looking down, he sees Sakura smiling to him blushing. Everybody was staring at them and Tomoyo was recording. They blushed more and everybody laughed. Then, they continued walking, with Syaoran and Sakura still with arms linked.

*******

Everybody was hungry so they decided to stop to dinner. They ordered orange juices and yakisoba for everybody (AN: Hmmm... I just love yakisoba...). While eating, they updated Syaoran with everything that happened on the last 6 months. Then, they decided for a dessert, the classical ice-cream.

"Here is yours Sakura."

"Thanks."

Both were lost in each other eyes until Tomoyo broke the ice. She knew that they could stay like that for a couple hours. "Hey, let's go! There are still more games to play and prizes to win!"

The group played a lot of games. The ones with the most prizes were the boys, who shared their prizes with the girls. They all were having lots of fun. But the most happy one was Sakura, who was looking at the ring on her hand.

**** Flashback ****

"I'll try this one." Syaoran said giving the money to the tall man.

"But Syaoran-kun... they are from the Junior High School Soccer Team! Do you think you can beat them?" Sakura asked.

Syaoran smiled, "Just watch.".

"Are you really going to try?" the coach raised an eyebrown. "Hai." Syaoran nodded.

"Well, don't get angry after you lost, okay?" He smirked.

"Let's see about it."

Syaoran started running towards the goal with the ball.

"Get him!" Said a now worried coach seeing his speed.

Syaoran got past everybody as fast as a tiger. Training al this years proved more than worth now. With a swift kick he easily scored. The coach's jaw was on the ground and the group was jumping of joy. Syaoran recieved the ring from the captain and gave him more money.

"Are... are you going to try again?" Asked a really worried coach.

"Yep. I need more 4 rings."

**** Flashback ****

Sakura looked at her happy friends with a ring on their fingers. She remember that something similar happened at the 4th grade. Yukito played a game three times to get a bunny for Syaoran, Tomoyo and her.

Then, someone called from behind. Turning around, they saw the coach smilling to him. Syaoran could be a really backup for the team when he reached High School so he just asked for him to join the club when graduated. Syaoran just smiled and said if he feels like, he will. Very 'Syaoran' type...

"Look at the time, it's already 9 o' clock! We should go home now..." Naoko pointed to her watch

"Why don't you sleep at my house today? It's not far from here. This is a 'thank-you' for inviting me today."

"Hoe? Syaoran-kun is inviting us to sleep at his house?" Then, Sakura jumped on him, "You're not the real Syaoran-kun! What have you done to him?!"

"Calm down Sakura! Of course it's me!"

"Are you sure you're not an alien that kidnapped Syaoran-kun and are using him to do your creepy experiments?"

Syaoran sweatdropped and his eyes went dot (you know, the . . face? )"Yes, I'm SURE" Then, he turned to Naoko, "You are still telling her your stories,aren't you?."

"Hehe... I can't help it."

"Look Sakura, I'm not the one who I once was. I'm changed now."

"Hoe..."

"Okay, we can call our parents from your house okay?" Tomoyo asked.

"Hai. Let's go." Syaoran said.

*******

They finally arrived at Syaoran's apartment.

Syaoran's apartment was much bigger than the old one. The other just had 3 rooms while this had 8. And there was also the second story. The kitchen was really big and well equipped, with everything that a boy could need and much more. The living-room was very nice. There was a big couche forming an arch around the 40'' TV with a DVD player and a karaoke. Between the couche and the TV was a table made of glass. Upstairs, all the rooms were beautifully decorated with a small TV, a confortable bed and a closet. Each apartment had a small balcony with a chair on it. The colors of the walls were, of course, all green.

He smiled remembering when he came back to Tomoeda. Unlocking the door and finding not his old home but a place 10 times bigger! He asked her mother lots of time: Why such a big place? He didn't need all that. Yelan never told why, only saying that he would use all that space one day. And she was right, as always.

"The Li Clan is very rich for sure." Sakura walked to the phone, "I call my dad."

RING RING

"Moshi moshi, Kinomoto Touya speaking."

"Oniichan, this is Sakura. Call dad please."

"Where are you and why aren't you home?!"

"I'm at Syaoran-kun's with all my friends and we're going to sleep here. NOW CALL DAD!"

Touya frowned but called his dad. "How could his father let Sakura sleep at the gaki's house?" Anyone with a good bit of intelligence knew that leaving the kaijuu and the gaki alone would only bring problems, LOTS of problems... And Touya would fix them all with a few punches on the Li-kozo, as Kero would call him. But Sakura's older brother never had a chance to know that the Chinese boy was an expert in martial arts, even being still in the 7ยบ grade. It would be very interesting to see a fight between them eventually.

"Dad, Sakura is on the phone."

"Sakura-san?"

"Dad, I'm at Syaoran-kun's with Tomoyo-chan, Chiharu-chan, Rika-chan, Naoko-chan and Takashi-kun. Can I sleep here with them?"

"Of course my dear. Why not?" Fujitaka allowed. A 'gasp' could be heard from far, more especific, from Touya's room.

"Thanks dad! Bye!" She hung up.

"So?"

"I can stay! Yey!" Sakura hugged Syaoran.

"That... that's great." Syaoran blushed.

"They make a nice couple, don't they?" Rika pointed the obvious.

"Hey!" Sakura and Syaoran yelled together to Rika.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding..." Rika sweatdropped.

"I'll... I'll show your rooms." Syaoran said still blushing, guiding everybody to show the house and their rooms. "Before we sleep, we can sing on the karaoke." Syaoran suggested.

"And play a game." Tomoyo added.

"Let's go to the karaoke now." Sakura said and Syaoran guided them to the living room.

*******

In the living-room, the karaoke was greeted by the 'ohhh's from Syaoran's friends followed by things like 'Cool karaoke' and 'It's so big...'

"Look, it's full of funny buttons... Hoe..." Sakura smiled as she explored all the capacities of the huge karaoke.

Syaoran's karaoke wasn't like the ordinary ones. This had the shape of a Jukebox, which you have to press the buttons to choose a music.

"Who'll sing first?"

"Tomoyo-chan!" They all said in unison.

Tomoyo sang Yasashisa no Tane (Seeds of Happiness). They all clapped. Nobody could say that she didn't have a beautiful voice. Well, except maybe for Meiling and her huge ego. Then, Rika, Chiharu, Naoko and Takashi sang Get Your Love. The next one was Sakura. She sang Hitotsu Dake (The Only One). And last but not least, Syaoran sang Kimi ni Naru Aitsu (I Can't Ignore Her). It was pretty funny to see everyone forcing Syaoran to sing... Shy shy shy boy... But the funniest of all was Tomoyo getting Sakura almost drooling hearing Syaoran singing. Another exclusive take to the already huge "Tomoyo-chan's Collections"!

*******

After singing they were in the living room talking.

"I got you all singing in a tape so you can watch each other singing anytime." Tomoyo smiled and the others sweatdropped. Hell, couldn't she leave the camera aside for a while? "Now, why don't we play a game?"

"Which game Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked

"How about Everyone Answers?" Naoko suggested.

"I know this one. It's similar to Truth or Dare." They all looked to Tomoyo, "One person is going to ask a question and everybody has to answer. But if everybody chooses the dare, the person is going to ask another question."

"That's good because we're going to hang out a lot. If everybody knows someone secrets, this person will feel uncomfortable, right Tomoyo-chan?" Syaoran asked.

"Right." She smiled, *And because I want you and Sakura-chan to confess to each other on the Christmas.* She thought evilly

"Who'll start?" Sakura asked getting excited.

"Me, me, please!!!" Naoko begged.

"Okay, go on." Syaoran agreeded.

"All right! Well... who do you like?"

Everybody gulped. This was really the worst question someone could ask and, ironically, always the first one to be asked. Syaoran, as Sakura, was really nervous. If he confessed now, how would the others react? How would Sakura react? He only knew how Tomoyo would react and he didn't a camera almost pressed to his nose as he confessed. Things could get reeeeeally bad if Sakura didn't feel the same way...

"I... I'll do the dare." Syaoran answered.

"Me too." Sakura said.

"Me three." Takashi added.

"I'll do the dare too." Tomoyo smiled.

"If everybody is doing the dare, I'll do it too." Rika said and Chiharu nodded.

"Ahnnn! I wanted to know...." Naoko frowned, "Okay, is the person you like here?"

"Yes." Chiharu and Takashi said together and blushed.

"I'll do the dare." Sakura blushed.

"Yeah, me too." Syaoran nodded.

"No." Rika answered.

"Dare." Tomoyo simply said.

"Yeah! That's great! Okay, Tomoyo-chan, you dare will be... you can't tape Sakura-chan for one day!"

"WHAT?! Nooooooo... please! Anything else! Anything!" Tomoyo begged and Sakura sweatdropped. Was Tomoyo's life made of taping Sakura? One day she would use The Erase on her cousin's taping stuff just to see her reaction...

"Sorry... but you'll have to do it. And for Sakura-chan and Syaoran- kun... they'll have to kiss each other!"

"NANI / HOEEEE?!" Sakura and Syaoran yelled blushing.

*Damn! I would like my first kiss with Sakura wouldn't be a dare.* Syaoran thought.

*I'd love to kiss him, but it's only a dare. It won't be a kiss with love, at least not his.* Sakura thought.

*Oh no! I wanted them to kiss each other on the Christmas! And now? What can I do? What can I do???* Tomoyo thought sadly.

Suddenly, Syaoran stopped blushing and a his mind kicked an ideia for him *I know!*

He leaned foward, much for Sakura surprise, and kissed her........................................on the cheek. Everybody looked surprised. Sakura wanted a kiss on the lips but she liked anyway.

"Hey! It was supposed to be a kiss on the lips!" Naoko frowned.

"You didn't say it." Syaoran simply said.

Tomoyo smiled and thought, *Smart boy... That's what I call a quick brain.*

After a while, everybody decided to stop and leave to their rooms to sleep. Naoko was really giving them some punishement. This kind of games in the hands of a I-have-an-infinite-imagination Naoko or I- look-so-innocent Tomoyo would always end in extreme embarassing situations from their 'victims'...

*Why... why did he give me a kiss on the cheek? I should have known that he wouldn't love me anymore.* Tears were now forming on Sakura's eyes. Then, from behind, she felt a hand on her shoulder. When she turned, she found worry amber eyes.

"Sakura, are you okay? Why are you crying?"

"It... it's nothing." She lied.

"Have someone done something to you? Just tell me and he's dead!"

Sakura giggled. Syaoran would always be there to protect her. Anytime. This is one of the reasons she fell in love with him. His smile, kindness and lots of other little small things. But these small details that only Sakura could notice was the main reason she fell for the ambered-eyed Chinese boy. The small details which made Syaoran the most important person for her.

"Are you sure you doesn't want to tell me something?"

*Actually, I want. I want to tell you that I love you.* "No, I'm fine now. Thanks for worrying." She smiled to him.

*Boy... I can't stand this smile...* Syaoran blushed.

He offered his hand to help her stand up. Sakura accepted the help.

"Thanks." She blushed.

"It's late now. You should sleep. The others are going too."

"Hai." She said squeezing Syaoran's hand.

Everybody said goodnight to each other and went to their rooms.

*******

It was 2 a.m. and Syaoran was still awake. You could tell this was one of his worst nights. Ok, Sakura was in the next room and this is great, but... That also was the reason he couldn't sleep. He just couldn't imagine that an angel could be sleeping at his house with just a thin wall between then. This made him really nervous.

TOC TOC, someone knocked the door.

He was surprised. Who could be at this time? Oh no... could be... she? Nah, don't too hopeful Syaoran...

"Come in."

Syaoran almost had an heart attack when he saw that the person was... Sakura!

"S... sorry. Did I wake you up?" She asked closing the door.

"N... no! Actually, I was still awake when you knocked."

"Syaoran-kun... I couldn't sleep so I came here."

"And how can I help you?" (Oh my god you hentais! NO WAY!)

Sakura blushed, "I was feeling alone, so I thought if... if... if I could have your company..."

Syaoran jumped, "My... my company?!"

"H... hai."

"Er... of course. I can't just say no and kick you out of my room."

Sakura giggled, "Thanks..." And she climbed on the bed.

"Sakura, you don't need to sleep on the edge of the bed, you know. You might fall when you roll."

Sakura giggled again and rolled near Syaoran. "Thanks." She blushed.

"Yeah..." Syaoran smiled.

The first few minutes were in silence, both too nervous to talk or even move. They have never been so close before, laying next to each other. Syaoran breathing was unsteady. He didn't knew how to react in a situation like this. Today was the first time he left someone sleep in his bed and that made him fell very insecure. Was this a right thing to do? I mean, of course Sakura is so sweet with him and he couldn't decline anything she would ask... But what if someone sees them? What would they think? That he was somekind of pervert for letting such a ingenuous girl (even if he was too) sleep in the same bed? His thoughts were broken by her low and sweet voice.

"Syaoran-kun, I'll do something... Please don't get angry at me."

"What are you..." Syaoran stopped when he saw Sakura resting her head on his chest and wrapping her arms around him.

Syaoran flushed thousand of colors of red, then he smiled. "Why would I be angry with you?"

Sakura blushed. "Thanks... You're so warm... And I feel so safe when I'm with you..." She sighed, "Thanks for yesterday Syaoran-kun. It was really nice of you bringing me home without waking me up..."

*It's the perfect time to tell her!*

"Sakura, I..." He stopped. Sakura was already sleeping, *Wow, she's such an angel...* he smiled, *Well, maybe next time.* He then wrapped his arms around Sakura and went to dreamland.
