Chapter 6 posted! Here you go. Good reading!

Thanks for the reviews: Butterfly_grl4; Sakura-Li; Cherry-Kawaii-Wolf; Final Fantasy Princess and Cowgirl Em!!!

First of all, Butterfly_grl4 asked me to finish the story soon. Well, if you look in my profile, it says that this story, including Prologue and Epilogue, has 13 episodes. Now, you´re reading Chapter 06 (or 07 in fanficton.net). I know, maybe with the time, it starts to be pretty boring and... well, people gets tired from reading and reading and the story doesn´t end... but my story will have all the 13 episodes.

Secondly, almost all reviews I recieved were like ´Please continue´ and ´Write soon´. I have to thank you for them but... if my story has something missing or wrong, I´ll never know it if people don´t review them... ´correctly´. Don´t just praise and all. I welcome any critics or any constructive comments. Just don´t review like ´You suck´ and ´Give up writting´. This is not a review, but people showing how they don´t have any consideration for those who try. I bet this kind of people doesn´t even have one fic. I´m not saying I don´t like your reviews, just... that I sometimes need some advice and see how my fic is doing. But if you continue to give me those kind of reviews... I DON'T CARE! I LOVE THEM ANYWAY!!! THANKS!!!

And at last (finally!) I have to thank, really thank Cowgirl Em. I never thought my fanfic would inspire someone in drawing any kind of stuff. Your drawing made me feel so good and satisfied! THANKS A LOT! I hope you continue reading my fic and you can be sure that I´ll never give up writting it, ´cause I know I´ll always have you!

Now, let´s end with all those stuff that you probably are not reading and skipped already and let´s start the fanfic!

DISCLAIMER: .................................. you know, don't you?

NOTE: Remember, R+R!

Coming Back To You

Chapter 06 - And The Plan Is Revealed... Sort Of

"Ohayo Kero-chan!"

"Ohayo Sakura-chan." Kero said sadly as the words 'GAME OVER' appeared on the screen.

"Ohayo Sakura-chan, Syaoran-kun." She greeted the bears.

RING RING

"Moshi moshi, Kinomoto Sakura speaking."

"Hi Sakura-chan! It's me, Tomoyo."

"Tomoyo-chan!"

"You didn't have to say it was you because I already knew. I dialed to your cell phone." (AN: You know, the one she and Syaoran recieved from Tomoyo to keep contact).

"Ops... I'll remember next time." Sakura giggled. ^_^U

"Well, I´m phoning to invite you and your family to a Christmas Eve party at my house. I've already invited Rika-chan, Naoko-chan, Chiharu-chan, Takashi-kun and S-y-a-o-r-a-n-kun."

"Wait a minute. I'm going to ask otousan." Sakura blushed.

Sakura ran downstairs "Ohayo Otousan! Tomoyo-chan is inviting us to have a party on Christmas Eve at her place. Can we go please?" "Ohayo Sakura-san." Fujitaka smiled and remebered his... 'friendly' relationship with Daidouji Sonomi, Tomoyo's mother. When would she finally forgive him? He was sure Nadeshiko wanted them to live peacefully... But the overprotecting cousin would never forgive the evil man who stole the precious Amamiya Nadeshiko from her, EVER. "Of course yes my dear. We don't have anything planned."

"Yay! Thanks!!!"

Sakura went back to her room "We'll go!"

"That's great Sakura-chan! The party starts at 8 p.m, ok?"

"Ok! I'll be there!"

"One more thing. Please come to the Penguim Park at 11 am today, ok?"

"...Sure."

"Thanks! Ja, Sakura-chan!"

"Ja!"

*******

"... Sakura-chan is late." Naoko stated at the obvious human-law.

"I'm getting used to it already." Rika sighed.

"Finally!" Tomoyo said pointing to the running Sakura.

"Ohayo! Sorry, I'm late..."

"Oh, really? I was SO BUSY looking intensly at the beautiful and colorful birds chirping at the top of that tree that I didn't even notice..." Syaoran said sarcastically, receiving a slap on the back of the head from his cherry-blossom friend as his prize.

"Well, now that's everybody is here, I'll explain why I called you." Tomoyo paused, "I decided to do something special on this party. I have here a box with 7 papers with your names written on each of them. Each of you are going to pick one and keep it. You can't show it to anybody! The name you get, you're going to buy this person a present, got it?" Tomoyo recieved a nod from the group.

Tomoyo asked to Sakura to get first. Then Syaoran, Takashi, Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, and then, herself. When each of the opened the paper, red faces could be found among the group of friends. Tomoyo, Rika and Naoko giggled.

"If my plan is working, Sakura-chan took Syaoran-kun, Chiharu-chan took Takashi-kun and vice-versa." Tomoyo whispered.

"I can't wait until the party. You're plan is great!" Naoko whispered back.

"Yeah, me too!" Rika said as the three girls laughed evilly getting the others to sweatdrop...

*******

Sakura sat on her bed, "I have only 4 days... What should I buy for Syaoran- kun?"

"If you want, I can help!" Kero smiled.

"Thanks Kero-chan. But I don't think Syaoran-kun would like to recieve a bomb or something like that..."

"Ahn... though I would get him this time!" Kero pouted as Sakura giggled. She knew Kero was kidding... right?

*******

*Think Syaoran, THINK! There are million things you could buy for Sakura. Which one would she like most?*, he paused, *... I can't believe I'm talking to myself again...*, he sighed *Maybe I should see a doctor...* he sweatdropped. *Maybe the best gift to me could be a free appointment at a psychologist...*

*******

Sakura went to the mall to buy the present when she bumped in someone.

"Gomen..." Sakura said and looked to the person, "... Syaoran-kun?"

He helped Sakura standing up.

"What are you doing here?" Syaoran asked.

"Silly, you know I'm here to buy the present." Sakura giggled.

"Hey, this is MY phrase!"

"Sorry s-i-l-l-y, you're going to get used to it!"

"Fine, fine... you won." he sighed, "Well, I would love to go with you, but you can't see what I'm buying and I can't see what you're buying."

"That's okay, Syaoran-kun. Let's meet here at three, okay?"

"Sure!"

"See you later, then." Sakura kissed his cheek and went away.

Syaoran put his fingers where Sakura had kissed *Man... her lips are so warm...*, then we walked into the crowded mall to find a suitable present for his cherry-blossom...

*******

Sakura passed in front of antiquary and an object caught her attention. "Oh my God, it's so beautiful! He'll love it for sure!"

"You're right Sakura. It's very beautiful!" Kero's head popped from her bag.

"Kero-chan! What are you doing here?! Get inside the bag before someone sees you!" Sakura said quickly getting odd looks from the crowd.

"I'm just trying to help, you know?" Kero said.

"I'm sorry Kero-chan... and thanks for helping me..." She smiled.

*******

Syaoran smiled to himself as he stared at the shop he just walked out with a package in his hands.

"Ugh... I spent all my spare money on this... But I'm sure she'll love this!"

*******

"Syaoran-kun...! I'm here!" Sakura waved to her friend.

"Hello again." he said with a cool tone.

"Have you bought it?"

"Yes, I'm sure the person will love it!"

"Me too!". Then, Sakura stomach growled, "Hehe... I'm hungry..."

"Let's eat something there." Syaoran grabbed Sakura's hand as she blushed and walked her to a restaurant nearby. They sat and ordered two hamburgers and two orange juices.

"Sorry sir. We just have one orange juice left." The waiter said.

Syaoran looked suspiciously. *How could there be only one oranje juice if everybody is asking and getting it? The waiter should have a reason to...*

"That's okay. We'll share it." Sakura said.interromping his thoughts.

"Uh... are you sure Sakura?"

"Of course! Why, you don't want it?"

"No, it's not that. I'll drink with you." Syaoran said and Sakura smiled, melting him.

Soon, they finished eating and started drinking the juice, each one with his/her drinking straw. Both blushed of how much they were close to each other. They payed and went back to the mall.

When they were out of view, a shadow aproached the waiter. "Thanks a lot Tooru-san."

"It was my pleasure miss Daidouji. They look so fine together... I'm glad I could help."

Little did they know that besides owning the important Daidouji Toy Company, Tomoyo's family also had a few restaurants...

*******

"Let's go Sakura, I'll take you home." Syaoran offered.

"You don't need to! I don't to be a bother..." Sakura looked to him.

"You're NEVER a bother Sakura."

"Thanks Syaoran-kun..."

They walked in silence through the streets. Even at evening, cherry-blossom trees would decorate the street with Sakura's favourite color. Birds were still chirping and the sunset gave a peaceful orange atmosphere... Wait a minute... Cherry-blossom trees with flowers at the winter? Syaoran nugded Sakura and just pointed up, at the trees.

"Let me guess... Your doing." Syaoran could fell her pink aura at the trees. His friend just giggled.

Sakura shivered a bit, and Syaoran noticed.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"It's getting a bit cold..."

Syaoran didn't think twice and wrapped his arm around Sakura's shoulder.

"Hoe?"

"Did it help?" He asked smiling.

"Y-yeah..." She blushed deep red. "Thanks..."

The rest of the way was in complete silence. They knew that having each other company was more than enough. Soon, they reached Sakura's house.

"Here we are Sakura."

"Uh... Syaoran-kun?"

"Hai?"

"Could I ask you a favor?"

"Sure. What's it?"

"Do you mind having dinner at my house?"

Syaoran blushed, "A-are you inviting me?"

"H-hai..."

"O-of course! I would love it!"

"Really? Thanks Syaoran-kun!" Sakura hugged him tightly, "Daijobu, oniichan isn't home." Sakura said and both laughed.

*******

"Tadaimasu! And I brought a friend to dinned!"

"Welcome home Sakura-san! And who your friend might be? Tomoyo-san?", he walked to the door, "Oh, welcome Syaoran-san! Please, feel yourself at home."

"Thanks Fujitaka-san."

"Hey, Syaoran-kun, let's go to my bedroom!" Sakura smiled.

**** Syaoran's POV ***

"Y-your bedroom?!" I gasped. I wasn't used to go into other person's bedroom and in addition, a GIRL's bedroom.

"Don't worry... I won't eat you..." She whispered on my ear. I don't really recall what happened on the next few minutes. I was said that I fanted with a nosebleed. The fainting part I quite understand... But I don't remember about the nosebleed... really...

"O-okay." I managed to say as I slowly stood up.

(A/N: I just HAD to write this... It suddenly pooped on my mind... ^ ^ )

**** Normal POV ****

"Otousan, we'll be in my room. Call when dinner is ready!"

"Sure!" Fujitaka said casually. He knew Sakura and Syaoran wouldn't do anything wrong.

They went to Sakura's room

"Oh, it's you koz... Li. Decided to show up?"

"Greetings Keroberus."

"Hoe... Syaoran-kun? You called him Kerberus? What about the 'stuffed animal'?"

"Hey!" Kero protested.

"He didn't call me 'gaki', so I won't call him stuffed animal.", he turned to Sakura and gave the although-he-looks-like-one-look which she just laughed leaving a confused Kero.

Kero then sat on Syaoran's shoulder, "Maybe with time, we can even become friends."

"....Maybe." Syaoran grinned.

Sakura smiled satisfied. They were finally starting to get along

"Kero-chan, could you give us a minute alone please? I need to talk to him."

"Sure." Kero flew out of the window not before giving Syaoran the I-am- watching-you-look.

"Syaoran-kun, I still... didn't give you my answer, even after this time and... I think you deserve to know it." A familiar blush appeared at her face.

*Oh my God, it's now.* Syaoran thought nervously.

"I think of you as a..."

"Sakura-san! Syaoran-san! Dinner's ready!" Fujitaka shouted from the stairs.

Sakura falled anime style. "We're coming!", she sighed "First Tomoyo. Now Otousan. When I'll be able to tell him?!".

*******

"Wow! It was delicious!"

"Arigatou, Syaoran-san. I'm glad you liked it."

Suddenly, rain started to pour heavily outside.

"Oh my, the rain is really heavy!" Sakura said.

"I guess you won't be able to go home with a weather like this Syaoran-san. Why don't you spend this night here?"

"I don't want to be a bother."

"Oh, it's not a bother at all!" Fujitaka reassured.

"Well, okay then..."

"Uh... there's only one problem. Touya's room is being reformed, my room is full of boxes with book I'm using on a research and the couches aren't confortable enough to sleep... I think the only way is to sleep at Sakura's room."

"Nani?!" Syaoran got a nosebleed. He and Sakura (and Kero =| ) alone in a room for the whole night? It was too much for the Chinese warrior...

"Don't worry. I trust both of you."

"Uh... it's okay for me. And you Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked blushing.

"I-I guess so."

"Great. I'll clean the dishes and you two go prepare Syaoran-san bed."

"Hai." Both nodded.

*******

"Is it okay for you to sleep at the floor, Syaoran-kun?"

"Sure, no prob."

After preparing everything, both sat at Sakura's bed to talk. Kero was playing video-game. They didn't have much to say, so they decided to remember things from the past, like Clow Cards. Sakura told how she met Tomoyo and the others while Syaoran, after Sakura asked one hundred times, talked a bit about his past and the Li Clan. He looked really sad while talking about his Clan. He should be happy! One day he would become the leader! Sakura couldn't figure out. When she asked what was wrong he would just pushed it away.

Sakura, on the other hand talked about what she remembered of her mother. There wasn't too much things. She was still a baby when Nadeshiko died. Still, she remembered her touch, her voice... and her clumsiness (sp?). But she was never sad because she knows that her mother is always taking care of her from heaven.

After a few minutes of silence, Kero broke the ice. "It's already 11. You should sleep." With that he turned of the light.

"Goodnight both of you." Kero lied on his bed. "Good night."

"Good night Syaoran-kun, Kero-chan."

Soon, they were sleeping peacefully. The moon gave a beautiful and pleasant atmosphere. Kero sat on the desk to gaze at the moon and stars, hearing both teens whisper each other names on their sleeping.

"I hate to admit it, but they look good together..."
