A/N: Thanks for all your reviews and kind comments! 
 
To Anime Queen: Actually your first guess is correct, it's Yue. Thanks for reviewing after each chapter!
 
To Red Rose: Yup, the mysterious guy is Yue. Touya is a good friend of Sakura. Thank you for reviewing, I noticed you are not a member of Fanfiction.net, so if you want me to email you when I update, please let me know, and I'll be happy to!
 
To Ghost: My favorite pairing is Yue+Sakura, so most of my fics will probably centre around the couple. Arigatou for your encouragement! Yup, I'm going to make this fic a series, and I hope you readers will enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it!
 
To Mistress Sakura: Thanks for your wonderful comments! And for reviewing and reading all my other fics!
 
To hop42: Thanks for your review! I love Yue too! He's the best isn't he? *hayaan* I guess actors/actresses onscreen and offscreen personalities probably are very different, so I was hoping to portray that. You'll be glad to know that in this chapter, Yue's not as bad as he seems. Sakura is most likely going to be with Yue, unless my warped mind comes up with something more deliciously sinful. Just curious though, why don't you like Sakura?
OK, let's get on with Act Four! Please review!

ACT FOUR

=========

Yukito looked at his elder brother worriedly. He had been mumbling to himself since they left the CCS building. "Yue? Are you alright?"

Yue was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't hear Yukito's question.

"Stupid girl, shouldn't have saved you last night if I had known you would stamp on my feet again today. Should have just left you on the streets and not check you into a hotel." He muttered with a scowl.

Yukito, not getting a response out of Yue, tried to distract him with the main highlight of the day. "Hey Yue, I would never have imagined Sakura to like Mace or to kiss him, would you? I mean, Sakura had never showed interest in Mace before, and suddenly they are a couple, weird huh?" Being innocent and dense, Yukito thought that whoever kisses each other should be a couple.

Yue stopped walking and stared moodily onto the ground. An unexplainable anger rushed through his mind at the image of Sakura kissing Mace. He kicked at the wall beside him, and grimaced in pain when pain shot through his sore foot, the one that Sakura had stomped on.  "Damn it!" He yelled, frustrated with these strange emotions he's having. "Why should I care if she kisses him? I don't care if she wants to kiss a toad or anything!"

Clueless as usual, Yukito asked, "Who kisses who?"

"Nevermind…….." Yue said. "Let's get something to eat."

They were waiting on the side of the road for a cab when Yue saw two familiar figures walking into the hotel nearby. His silver-amethyst eyes strained, and his mouth fell open. It was Sakura, hand-in-hand with that playboy Touya. She was laughing at something Touya had said, and was twisting his ear mischievously.

"Hey, isn't that Sakura and Touya?" Yukito pointed out to Yue, not realizing that Yue has already seen them.

"I wonder why Sakura is going into a hotel with Touya." Yukito wondered out loud, a frown on his befuddled face.

And Yue was thinking about the same thing. What is Sakura doing with Touya, and going into a hotel?

"Let's say hello to them, shall we?" Yukito suggested, walking towards the couple.

"NO!" Yue pulled him back. "Ah, Yuki, you go back home first, I have something to do." Without waiting for Yukito's reply, Yue pushed him into a cab that has just pulled up beside them. Yukito nodded, not understanding Yue's actions but obeying them all the same. "Bye!"

Yue whirled around just in time to see Sakura and Touya enter the hotel. Though he had no idea why he's doing this, Yue followed them all the same. But being a famous actor, it was hard not to be noticed. A group of excited teenage girls spotted Yue and surrounded him, asking for his autograph. He smiled politely and forced himself from grinding his teeth together. He was bombed with a thousand questions, from his hobbies and likes, to the color of his underwear. Yue couldn't believe the nerve of his fans, daring to ask him such private questions. Avoiding giving them actual answers, he quickly signed their autographs and made an excuse about having to rush for filming. The girls reluctantly let him go, crying and waving their white hankies in the air.

Finally getting away from his rabid fans, Yue entered the hotel. To his dismay, there was no trace of Sakura or Touya anywhere. He berated himself for his stupid actions. "Shit! Why did I follow them? What was I thinking?" A hotel staff approached him and asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, do you have a restaurant here?" Yue was starving, dealing with over-eager fans takes a lot of energy.

"Why yes, we have a restaurant here, and may I bring you there sir?"

"Thanks, I would like that." Yue trudged after the helpful staff.

He was shown into an elegant Japanese restaurant and to a table. After ordering the Nigirizushi and a Chawanmushi from the menu, he sat back and sipped the green tea that the waitress had brought. A giggle from behind him got his attention. Turning around, he saw Sakura and Touya. As Sakura's back was facing him, only Touya, sitting opposite her, could see Yue. He looked surprised, and it was reflected on Yue's face.

"Yue?"

"Huh, To-ya, what did you say?" Sakura hadn't caught his words as a waitress had come at that moment, asking if they would like more tea.

Yue panicked, even though he shouldn't because there isn't any reason to. They didn't know Yue was following them, and he was really here in the restaurant for a meal. He shook his head at Touya, giving him a pleading look. Touya smiled knowingly and nodded, and Yue sighed with relief. He mouthed "Thank you" and turned back in his seat.

Touya was smirking when Sakura whacked him on the head gently. "Hey! What are you smirking about?"

"Oh, nothing." He replied with an innocent look on his face.

Sakura still looked suspicious, but didn't pursue further. She sputtered and nearly choked on her food when Touya asked, "So how do you find Yue?"

Behind Sakura, Yue was also choking on his tea.

"Wh-why did you ask that?" She stared at To-ya like he has sprouted two heads on his shoulders.

"No reason, just curious. I always see you two quarrelling, so much so that I'm starting to think you have feelings for him."

"WHAT!!! How on earth did you come up with such an outrageous idea?"

"Personally I feel that kissing and quarrelling is the same. In the end, you only do it with those who matters to you." Touya said sagely.

Sakura's eyes grew wide at his weird logic. "Man, I thought you were pretty strange sometimes, but now it's confirmed, you are an oddball."

Touya looked unperturbed by Sakura's statement. "So, you still haven't answered my question. How do you find Yue?"

She paused for a few moments. "He's a rash idiot, has no sense of humor, doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut, and has a brother-complex, which is the thing I hate most about him. Always coming between Yukito and me. If it's not for him, I would have been together with Yukito by now. Damn freaking moron." Sakura complete her sentence with an irritated bang on the table.

Yue was struggling not to reveal his presence and strangle Sakura to death.

Touya grinned. "That's all? Surely even a jerk like him has some good points." He tried to stop himself from laughing aloud as he noticed Yue shaking with anger.

"Ok, this is strictly between you and me. If it's not you, I wouldn't even be thinking about that guy's good points." Sakura gave Touya's question some serious and honest thought before answering.

Yue stopped shaking and strained his ears curiously. Touya nodded and waited for her to speak.

"For all his faults, Yue is a gentlemen at heart. He never retaliates, at least not physically, no matter how often or how hard I stamp on his feet. And as for his brother-complex, well, I figured it's because he loves Yukito too much. There are a lot of leeches in the Anime World, so I can sort of understand his over-protectiveness. But man! There's got to be a limit somewhere! He can't shelter Yukito forever, doesn't he knows that? And am I really that bad, that unworthy of his brother?" Sakura sighed, not really expecting her question to be answered.

"Hard as it is to admit, I do enjoy irritating and bickering with him. Keeps my mind sharp, ya know?" Sakura smiled at Touya's silence, to which she interpreted as shock. 

"What, To-ya, you didn't think I could be objective to see behind his idiocy and find some good in him? You should know me better than that, I always manage to see behind the masks people wear, be it a smile, a rude comment or a nonchalant shrug. And through that moron's mask of brashness and stupidity is basically a good heart."

"Granted, it gets creepy sometimes when I know the person smiling at me is actually thinking of ways to hurt me. But hey, this is the real world, and like you always say, things aren't what they seem, right?" Sakura could always say exactly what she thinks with Touya, and he's probably the only person she ever drops her mask off to. But of course, even Touya doesn't know everything about her, which is the way she wants things to be, for now.

"Yes, Sakura, things aren't what they seem, and that's the words that came into my mind when I first met you." Touya smiled at her warmly.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I know that behind your cheerful smile and innocent face, lies a matured and perceptive mind."

"Is that a compliment or a dig at me?" Sakura teased, knowing that To-ya isn't the kind to insult her.

"Besides, you are in no position to tell me that, being a master of disguise yourself." Sakura added.

Touya shrugged and said, "Oh well, let's finish our dinner so that I can go chase some skirts, as my dear imoto had put it."

"I wonder which unfortunate girl it will be tonight." Sakura sighed as Touya pinched her cheek lightly, to which she laughed.

Yue had nearly dropped out of his seat when Sakura started on his good points. And his jaw had dropped, mouth hanging throughout her speech. He was also amazed at how true Touya's words were, that things aren't what they seem, especially for Sakura Kinomoto. Yue had thought that Sakura was just a shallow girl with too much cheerfulness to everyone but him. Surprisingly, she's not. Though Yue didn't want to admit it, Sakura was right about her analysis of his character. And maybe, just maybe, he had been too protective of Yukito. Yue has a few revelations that night, all thanks to Touya. Touya, whom he had thought was an over-confident playboy, but now Yue is starting to see him in a different light. Yue wondered why Touya had asked Sakura those questions, it was almost as if Touya wanted him to hear the answers. And what are his reasons for that?

After Sakura had been dragged out by Touya, Yukito and Yue had left, leaving the Tomoyo, Meiling, Nakuru, Syaoran and Eriol together. As with their usual practice, they suggested having dinner together. Tomoyo was not able to join in because she had a social function to attend that night. So the rest went to the Nadeshiko's again. The restaurant was crowded, it being a Friday night. There weren't enough seats for the four of them, so they chose another restaurant nearby for dinner. It was one they have not been patronized before. They looked at the signboard before entering. "The Sun Guardians Café."

"Hey, it's a café, not a restaurant." Meiling commented. "Do you think they will have decent food inside?"

"Haaaaaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaa we have great food here! Come in, come in!" A loud Osaka-accent greeted the CCS cast. They turned around and saw a cute teenager with orange-colored hair highlighted by streaks of red. His short feathered hair and bangs framed a cheerful smile, large hazel eyes and cheeks dotted with light freckles. Wearing a forest-green T-shirt and navy-blue jeans with a white apron over them, the teenager waved them in.

"Meiling, Nakuru, Syaoran and Eriol! How nice to see you guys!"

The group stared at the familiar face, and chorused. "Kero-chan!"

"Hai Hai! How have you guys been? I had a week break after I got a sore throat and couldn't dub the part of Keroberos in CCS series. But I'll be back in business tomorrow! Yeah!" Kero-chan ushered them to a round table decorated with a blue and orange tablecloth and sat down on a cushy white seat.

"We'll fine, but Mace is as crazy as ever." Nakuru replied.

"Talk about crazy, you missed something really interesting this morning." Eriol gave a cat-like smile.

"Oh, you mean about Sakura kissing Mace." Kero-chan broke into a grin at the shocked looks of the gang.

"How did you know that?" Meiling asked in surprise.

Before Kero-chan could answer, a young bishounen with long and straight black hair that brushed the top of his broad shoulders interrupted. "That's because Kero-chan is the biggest gossiper in town; any news or latest gossip is bound to find its way into his super-sonic ears."

"Spinel!" The group greeted.

"Hi guys." Spinel's cool voice returned the greeting, and his usually solemn crimson-red eyes twinkled. He smiled and flashed his pearly white teeth, which seemed even whiter against the contrast of his tanned skin.

"How have you been Spinel? We haven't seen you in a week either!" Nakuru asked her co-star.

"Oh, I had to take care of a certain idiot who had a sore throat, but still stuffed his face in desserts, leading to a high fever and sickness that lasted for almost a week." Spinel looked pointedly at Kero-chan, who stood up and flung his arms around his neck.

"Oh Suppi, don't tell me you didn't enjoying taking care of me, because I know you did." Kero-chan rubbed his cheeks against Spinel's hot cheeks as he purred.

"Don't call me Suppi! How many times do I have to tell you that, Keroberos!" Spinel growled, annoyed that the stupid nickname Kero-chan had given him stuck like glue, even in the CCS series. 

Kero-chan got a little scared at Spinel's tone, especially when he calls him 'Keroberos', that's when he's getting real pissed. He hugged Spinel closer and nibbled his ear playfully, causing them to flush. "Ok, SPINEL, you are the man, whatever you say, darling."

Spinel was getting really embarrassed at the public display of affection, even though their relationship is no secret. "Fine, can you GET OFF ME now?"

"Oh darling, I remember last night when you didn't even want to move an inch away from me, and now you'll asking me to get off you?" Kero-chan pouted as he sat down with feigned hurt.

Spinel's face turned even redder, before he spun around and walked away without another word. Kero-chan burst out laughing after Spinel had gone to the kitchen.

"Oh Kero-chan, you are such a naughty little thing to tease Spinel like that." Eriol wagged his finger at him in mock sternness.

"But his so cute when he gets all flustered and blushing!" Kero-chan sighed happily.

Meiling and Nakuru giggled, as Spinel is really adorable when his normally serious facial expression gets all shy and blushing.

Syaoran looked at Eriol and Kero-chan, who had their heads close together and was whispering conspiratorially about something. "Probably some pranks to make one of the CCS cast suffer again." Syaoran thought wearily. He loves Eriol, but sometimes he could get too caught up in those schemes of his, and ignore him. Despite being with Eriol for many years now, Syaoran couldn't help but feel insecure sometimes, especially when Eriol is such a flirt. Feeling neglected, Syaoran decided to look for Spinel for a talk.

Syaoran was walking into the kitchen, when Spinel was walking out of it at the same time. They bumped into each other and Spinel stumbled, dragging Syaoran down to the kitchen floor with him. Their bodies fell on top of one another as both pairs of eyes grew in shock. Amber eyes met crimson ones and their lips were still pressed together in an accidental kiss. And yet, they had the same thoughts.

His lips are so soft. (Spinel)

He smells nice, like honeysuckle. (Syaoran)

My GOD why can't I move? (Spinel & Syaoran)

There was a stunned silence which extended, as neither moved away from the compromising position they are in.
