Hello again peoples! (Wow, that's a change from my regular 'Hey minna-san')
You know Kawaii-chan never updates her stories on time so I guess you
already know that I'm apologizing. NEways, I'm back with another chapter of
'The Nanny'. I can't believe that I got so many reviews for this story.
It's amazing! Thank you so much for making me a happy author, this is
dedicated to those special people. *Hint, clue* (that means you should
review if you want it to be dedicated to you)
NOTE: K, this reviewer told me that I messed up saying that Sakura went to school w/ Eriol and then I said that Eriol was Syaoran's best friend and that Syaoran asked her if she knew Eriol or not after Sakura told him she did. I really don't wanna go back and change anything so just think of it like this, Sakura went to school with him and was close to him and Tomoyo but then lost touch with him and hasn't seen him in a long time. Am I making this clear? If I'm not, review and tell me. Thanks.
ANOTHER NOTE: k, I finally figured out where I'm going with this story so bare with me cuz it's pretty slow but you are guarenteed a good show. (Guarentee not guarenteed) You'll probably have to wait another three to six chapters before the plot thickens.

Chapter Five
_ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _
A month had already passed and Sakura was doing really well. Her salary was much more than she expected. Everything was perfect... well except for one thing. Syaoran, or Li-san, was still so serious, he never really talked to Sakura much. Ying-fa was already crazy about her, now all she had to do was get Syaoran to actually look at her.
"Aw man! It's Friday! There's no school tomorrow!" Ying-fa whined. "But tomorrow's also Saturday, meaning that we can do lots of stuff, for instance, go to the park," Sakura suggested. "Will you take me Sakura-chan, please???" Ying-fa pleaded with puppy dog eyes causing Sakura to chuckle. "Alright, but on one condition," "What do I have to do?" "You have to get your brother to come with us," Sakura told her. "Why my brother?" Ying-fa asked. "Because he needs to learn how to have fun and we're going to be the ones to teach him," Sakura explained. "If you say so..." Ying-fa sighed.
'Maybe he'll lighten up if he decides to join us,' Sakura thought as she took her clothes from the laundry basket and folded them. She swiftly folded them one by one and then put it in her drawer but then she stopped. She accidently ended up having on of Syaoran's dress shirts inside her basket. She could tell by how big it was. 'Maybe I should give this back to him. We don't wanna have a shirtless Li-san, now do we?' Sakura blushed when she thought over what she said.
Sakura started roaming the house for Syaoran's room. "This house is so big I don't think I'll ever get used to it," Sakura muttered. She finally found his room and his door open ajar. Sakura knocked at the door and Syaoran answered. "Sorry to disturb you, Li-san but I kind of ended up having one of your shirts in my laundry and I just wanted to return it," Sakura told him. "Thank you. I have something of your's too. I would apprieciate it if you took it back," Syaoran told her openning the door more so that she could come in. Sakura was amazed at how Syaoran always managed to keep his room squeaky clean.
Syaoran looked for shirt while Sakura marveled at his room. Anyone could easily tell this was his room. His musky scent lingered everywhere. "Here, I don't know how it ended up in my laundry but anyways, here," Syaoran said handing here her shirt. "Thank you, here's yours." Sakura thanked. Syaoran took his shirt and hung it on the hanger.
"Uh, Li-san, I, I mean we, were wondering if you would if you'd like to join us at the park tomorrow," Sakura told him nervously. "We?" Syaoran asked raising up one eyebrow. (k/n: I wish I could do that) "Meaning Ying- fa and I," Sakura cleared. "I'll think about it," Syaoran told her. "Please? It would really mean a lot to Ying-fa since she wanted us to have an out together. Plus, I heard that a fair was being held too," Sakura urged. Syaoran thought for a moment, "alright, you can tell Ying-fa that I'll be coming with you two." "Alright, I will," Sakura said before she left.
"Yes!" Sakura whispered to herself as she walked back to her room. Li Syaoran seemed like a mystery she wanted to solve. It seemed as if the only love he had in his heart was for his sister. Only his sister.
~~~~~~(k/n: I'm listenin' to Adam Sandler's 'Hey Mr. Taliban.' It's hilarious!!)
Sakura knocked on Ying-fa's door to tell her the news. "WHO IS IT???" Ying- fa yelled. "Uh, it's your brother, open the door" Sakura said dropping her voice many octaves, making her sound like a complete idiot. "But I'm right here," Syaoran said from behind. Sakura turned around finding Syaoran with dripping wet hair. "I, uh, I just, I," Sakura stuttered. Syaoran still looked at her akwardly. 'Great, now he thinks I'm mental,' Sakura told herself. Ying-fa interupted with some giggling from the other side of the door. "Oni-chan, have you been drinking out of the toilet... again?" Ying- fa said giggling, knowing perfectly well it was Sakura.
Syaoran quickly grabbed Sakura and put her behind him so that Ying-fa wouldn't be able to see her. Ying-fa openned the door expecting Sakura, instead she found her brother. "Oni-chan???" Ying-fa looked inquisitivly at him. "Yea, it's me. No, I didn't drink out of the toilet water again even though I had to fight the urge, actually I tried some of those homemade popscicles you made, maybe that's what made me sound like that," Syaoran teased Ying-fa, causing Sakura to silently giggle. "ONI-CHAN!!!" Ying-fa said as she stomped on her foot. It caused Syaoran to yelp and jump, revealing that Syaoran was hiding Sakura. "Umm... hi Ying-fa."
"Hi Sakura-chan," Ying-fa said with the a little wave, the kind Alphalpha did in the Rascals movie. (k/n: ain't that cute?) "YING-FA LI!!! Why did you do that?!!" Syaoran yelled in agony. "Because you insulted me. Simple," Ying-fa said calmly. "Arg!" Syaoran mumbled. "Did you need something Sakura- chan?" "Yes, I wanted to tell you that your brother decided to join us this weekend, that is if he recovers from... toe-lectamie," Sakura giggled looking back at Syaoran who shot her a glare. (k/n: don't mind the toe- lectamie part please, i'm not a doctor) Sakura and Ying-fa howled in laughter as Syaoran regained his poise and walked off.
"That was funny!" Ying-fa laughed. "I know, I can't believe that happened," Sakura replied. "I know, who knew my brother had to fight the urge to drink out of the toilet," Ying-fa giggled again. Sakura paused and lifted one eyebrow. "Oh, Sakura-chan, I was just kidding," "Good."
~~~~~~
Friday passed quickly and Saturday had already arrived. Ying-fa barged into Sakura and Syaoran's room extra early. (no they don't share a room... yet) Sakura couldn't wait to go to the fair. This would be her first time to be doing something fun in Oxford. When Sakura headed into the kitchen to cook breakfast for everyone, she was surprised with a heavenly scent. She found Syaoran already dressed to go, cooking breakfast. Sakura smelled pancakes, eggs, and bacon through the air.
"It's okay, I got breakfast taken care of," Syaoran told her with out looking up from the pancakes. "Alright, I might as well set the table," Sakura replied getting out the plates and glasses. Ying-fa rushed down stairs all dressed and excited about going to the fair. It had been a LONG time since she'd gone to a place like this. She had her little backpack and everything ready.
"Umm... since everyone's dressed, I might as well get dressed too," Sakura said nervously. Everyone looked up and saw that she was still in her pink pajamas. "I guess you should," Syaoran responded. Sakura quickly rushed upstairs and threw on some jeans and a white long sleeve shirt with the words 'cherry' in red. She rushed back and saw that Syaoran and Ying-fa were waiting for her. "Hurry Sakura-chan! You don't want to be late, now do you?" Ying-fa warned. Sakura took the seat next to Ying-fa, which was also right across from Syaoran.
"Ooh, I'm so excited. I can't wait to ride all of the rides and play all of those games, ooh, what if there's a haunted house, I want to check it out!!" Ying-fa rambled on and on. Sakura stiffened. "Is there something wrong Sakura-chan?" Ying-fa asked noticing Sakura's sudden reaction. "Um... haunted house?" Sakura asked, "Yes, why? Aren't they cool?" Ying-fa asked. Sakura looked down at her plate. "Ms. Kinimoto, you aren't afraid of a haunted house are you?" Syaoran asked finally reaching eye contact with her. His smug smirk indicated that he knew the answer perfectly well.
"N-no, me? Afraid of a-a- h-haunted h-house?? Never!" Sakura stuttered failing to show that she wasn't scared. "Alright if you say so. Infact, haunted houses seem very interesting to me. So what about it Ying-fa, want to check out the haunted house?" "YES!" Ying-fa cried in joy. "Then it's settled, but we'll save the best for last. What do you say Kinimoto-san?" Syaoran asked with a smirk on his handsome face. "O-Okay," Sakura stuttered again. "Then it's settled."
~~~~~~
Sakura, Syaoran and Ying-fa got to the fair and were practically rushed in. Syaoran paid for the tickets and carried Ying-fa on his back. Sakura watched the siblings, she was amazed at how responsible Syaoran was for such a young girl. He did a great job of taking care of her, something you wouldn't expect from someone so young.
First they went on the roller coaster. Syaoran liked going to the fair, it reminded him of his childhood. He decided to actually have some fun today with his sister, and Sakura. Syaoran and Sakuras' ears practically exploded from Ying-fa's screaming, but they had a blast. Ying-fa ran around dragging Sakura and Syaoran along with her.
When they got to the ring toss Ying-fa tried and tried and tried to get her prize but didn't succeed in doing so. She wanted the mirror the pink border and a butterfly on the top-right corner. "Oni-chan! Can you please get me that mirror before anybody else get's it, please?" Ying-fa asked. "Fine, but you need to get me something in return if I do get something, alright?" Syaoran told her. Ying-fa's eyes lit up and she gave Syaoran's leg a hug. "Sir, can I please get five more rings?" Syaoran asked the guy at the cash register. "Sure, what ever your ring lands on, you get," said the guy at the register as he took the money from Syaoran and handed him more rings. Ying-fa and Sakura cheered Syaoran on as he threw the rings. The first for he missed, but on the last one, he aimed his best and got the ring over the mirror. Just then, he looked into the mirror and realized that Sakura was in the mirror. Just Sakura.
"Yay! You got the mirror! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!" Ying-fa squealed. "Congradulations," Sakura complimented. "Thanks," Syaoran replied. "Here you go," the guy at the register. Syaoran looked the mirror and stared at it, then he looked up at Sakura and looked at the mirror again. 'What ever your ring lands on you get,' Syaoran repeated in his head. Did that have to do something with Sakura? 'I'm so stupid! What am I thinking. She's the nanny for crying out loud!!!' Syaoran secretly scolded himself. "Li-san, are you ready to go?" Sakura interupted his train of thought. "Yes. Where to next?" Syaoran asked. "The ferris wheel!!" Ying-fa yelped. "Alright, let's go!"
On the way to the ferris wheel, Ying-fa bumped into someone. "You!" they both said at the same time. It turned out that the person she bumped into was no other than Mark. (k/n: you see something going here?) "Great, look what you did, you gave me cooties!" Mark yelled. "Hello! But I think that you already had them!" Ying-fa retorted. Syaoran was starting to get mad but Sakura held him back, "Remember, he's just a little kid, he can't harm her," Sakura said gingerly. "Yuck, I better go before I get rashes from those cooties," Mark said snobbishly. "Who asked you to stay?" Ying-fa shot at him. Mark walked off with some older woman who seemed to be his mother.
"Hey Ying-fa!" said a little girl skipping up to her. "Hi Kelly!" Ying-fa waved. "Who are you here with?" Kelly asked tossing her blonde hair behind her. "I'm here with my brother and his girlfriend," Ying-fa said. Syaoran shot her a glare and poked her. "Ow, okay, okay, Kelly, I'm here with my brother and my nanny," Ying-fa told Kelly. Sakura giggled to herself but no one noticed. "Who are you here with?" Ying-fa asked Kelly, "I'm here with my aunt and my cousin, Mark," Kelly answered. "You're his cousin? Poor girl, I wish I could help," Ying-fa joked. "I do too. Hey, are you going to the ferris wheel?" Kelly asked. "Yes, you want to join us?" "Sure! Wait let me go tell my aunt!" Kelly exclaimed before dashing off. "Ying-fa, who was that?" Sakura asked. "She's Kelly, she's really nice, she's one of my best friends at school!" Ying-fa explained.
Kelly came rushing back with a smile on her face. "My aunt said yes as long as I stay with you. She also asked if you could drop me off at my house because she's about to leave with Mark, thank goodness!" Kelly said. "You can tell your aunt that we'll drop you off around four," Syaoran told her. Within seconds, Kelly rushed of and came back and they continued to go to the ferris wheel. They waited for what seemed like for ever. Ying-fa and Kelly chatted while Syaoran and Sakura stood there silently.
"Um... so you said that you knew Eriol, right?" Sakura tried to start a conversation. "Yes, he's my business partner," Syaoran replied. "Wow, I haven't seen him in forever! Do you plan on seeing him soon?" Sakura asked. "We're going to see eachother again next week since he's flying over to discuss a merger," Syaoran answered. "I know this is sort of out of the question, but can you please arrange it in a way that maybe I could meet him?" Sakura asked looking at the ground. "Alright, the day he comes, all of our business partners are going out to dinner at a restaurant, uh, this sort of awkward but if you don't mind being my date, I can take you," Syaoran said joining her observation of the ground. Sakura jerked her head up and looked at Syaoran. "That sounds wonderful! Thank you so much! What day is he coming?" Sakura asked Syaoran. "He'll be here on Friday, dinner's at seven," Syaoran confirmed. Sakura and Syaoran both blushed. 'Wow, I'll be his date. Wait a minute, why am I so excited? He's probably a major playboy. If I get involved, he'll probably break my heart into pieces,' Sakura thought sadly. 'I can't possibly be with her, she'll break my heart, I know she will. Even if she wasn't that kind of person, she wouldn't want to be with me,' Syaoran thought.
Finally it was their turn to get on the ferris wheel. Each compartment sat four people. Of course Kelly and Ying-fa sat next to eachother, forcing Sakura and Syaoran together. Syaoran watched as Kelly and Ying-fa whispered to each other and giggled. Everytime they did giggle, they'd always look up at him and Sakura. Sakura noticed this too. The scenery was beautiful from the ferris wheel. Sakura staired as practically all of Oxford was scene. "Hey look, it's my office building," Syaoran pointed to his side. Sakura put her hand on his shoulder so she could see. Syaoran blushed. "Which one is?" Sakura asked. "It's the one with the big white letters and a little globe at the top," Syaoran said. Sakura squinted and finally saw it. Ying- fa and Kelly giggled again.
"What?" Sakura asked. "Oh nothing," the girls replied in unison. Sakura then noticed how close to Syaoran she was. "Oh, I'm sorry," she apologized. "It's alright," Syaoran said still blushing slightly. The rest of the ride was silent, all except Ying-fa and Kellys' giggling and whispering of course. Finally the ride was over and everyone got off, Sakura and Syaoran glanced at eachother, blushed and then shook it off again. "It's almost time to go so I say we head over to the haunted house!" Ying-fa pointed out. "H-h-haunted house," Sakura sqeaked. "Yup!"
The little group headed over to the haunted house and Sakura froze. "Kinimoto-san, you really don't have to go in if you don't want to. I know your scared," Syaoran whispered. "N-no, only little kids are s-scared of h- h-haunted houses," Sakura stuttered again. "What ever you say, Kinimoto- san," Syaoran told her heading off with Ying-fa and Kelly. Sakura sped up to catch up to him and took a big gulp as she entered. This would last forever.
Inside it was pitch black, all for the creepy lanterns that barely lit the way. Sakura could barely see that Syaoran was beside and she kept on bumping into Ying-fa and Kelly. The first few minutes were okay, but then came the scary part. Vampires appeared randomly from the ground causing Sakura to shake. In the midst of the creepy lights, Sakura could see shadowy figures that definately didn't look normal. Sakura was trying her best but gave up and held on to Syaoran for dear life. Syaoran thanked the Gods that it was pitch black or else Sakura would've seen his blush.
Her scent was intoxicating. She smelled of fresh strawberry and vanilla. Finally came the worst part of the whole experience. Ghosts. Sakura gripped on to Syaoran so hard, she practically cut of his blood circulation. Syaoran tried his hardest to keep from laughing. Suddenly, his evil side kicked in. Just when the ghosts and everything else seemed to stop, Syaoran gently got Sakura's arms off of him. When she thought everything was okay, he did something truly evil. In the darkness, he slowly and carefully put his hand on her back and made it seem as if something were crawling up her back. Sakura let out a big screech and practically threw herself on top of Syaoran, causing both of them to fall over.
One of the workers at the haunted house came over with a flashlight and pointed it directly at Sakura and Syaoran, who weren't really in the most respectful position. "I'm sorry sir and madam but this is a public show, if you have to, please take your private show to a private spot," said the clerk emphasizing the words public and private. "But, but..." Syaoran and Sakura tried to explain. Of course, the clerk didn't listen. "Yes brother, this is a PUBLIC place," Ying-fa said causing Kelly to laugh. Syaoran got up and helped Sakura get up. Luckily, the exit wasn't very far.
Ying-fa and Kelly laughed all the way out while Sakura and Syaoran blushed. "Wow, that was so FUN!!" Kelly chirped. "I should hang out with you more often, Ying-fa," Kelly suggested. Syaoran rolled his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. "Ying-fa, it's not that funny," Syaoran warned. "Umm... actually it kind of is," Sakura said quietly. "Sakura-chan, what happened? Why did you scream like that?" Ying-fa asked. "I don't know why, but it felt like something was crawling up my back, something unpleasant. I think it was one of those big hairy spiders," Sakura said as she shivered again. Syaoran burst into a full hearted laugh and was practically on the floor.
"What's so funny?" Sakura asked. "YOU!" Syaoran choked out. "Huh?" Sakura asked still not getting what was that funny. "That wasn't a big hairy spider, THAT WAS ME!!" Syaoran was still laughing, "I used my hand and made it seem as if something was crawling up your back," Syaoran managed to stop laughing but couldn't help the silly smile he had on. "THAT WAS YOU?!!" Sakura said before attacking Syaoran with her fists. This only caused Syaoran to run around and start laughing more. "For a girl, you hit hard," Syaoran chuckled. Sakura growled again and was chasing him again causing a lot of commotion. "YOU PRACTICALLY GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!" Sakura yelled again. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I was just trying to have fun. Forgive me?" Syaoran asked when he finally stopped. Sakura finally stopped trying to chase him. All of a sudden, she started cracking up too.
"Kinimoto, Kinimoto, are you okay?" Syaoran asked seeing how crazy she looked. "Yeah, I'm okay. But that was funny! Good thing I fell on you. It served you right, now you'll probably have back problems," Sakura giggled. "No, I've had heavier people fall on me, MUCH heavier people. Don't ask," Syaoran said refering back to his first few years of training. "Okay, if you two are done flirting, I suggest we go home," Ying-fa interupted. Both Sakura and Syaoran glared at her causing her to crack up. "Okay, I think the day was tiring enough, let's go before we cause anymore damage," Sakura said leading the way to the exit.
They arrived at Kelly's house to drop her off. "Thanks for dropping me home, I had a great time!" Kelly getting out of the car. "It was our pleasure Kelly, you can come to our house whenever you please," Syaoran said from the car. "Okay, bye! Bye Ying-fa!" Kelly waved. Everyone waved to Kelly and waited until someone openned the door to let her in. Then they headed off home.
TBC
K, how was that chapter? Did you like the slight S+S moments? I tried. Along with Eriol, there will also be some mystery guests. I bet you already know who they are. Well, please review to make me happy. Until next time, Ja! Now if you'll excuse me, ONLY ONE I'VE LOVED needs another chapter which no one but me can do. Bye! Happy reading and writing!

When they got to the ring toss Ying-fa tried and tried and tried to get her prize but didn't succeed in doing so. She wanted the mirror the pink border and a butterfly on the top-right corner. "Oni-chan! Can you please get me that mirror before anybody else get's it, please?" Ying-fa asked. "Fine, but you need to get me something in return if I do get something, alright?" Syaoran told her. Ying-fa's eyes lit up and she gave Syaoran's leg a hug. "Sir, can I please get five more rings?" Syaoran asked the guy at the cash register. "Sure, what ever your ring lands on, you get," said the guy at the register as he took the money from Syaoran and handed him more rings. Ying-fa and Sakura cheered Syaoran on as he threw the rings. The first for he missed, but on the last one, he aimed his best and got the ring over the mirror. Just then, he looked into the mirror and realized that Sakura was in the mirror. Just Sakura.
"Yay! You got the mirror! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!" Ying-fa squealed. "Congradulations," Sakura complimented. "Thanks," Syaoran replied. "Here you go," the guy at the register. Syaoran looked the mirror and stared at it, then he looked up at Sakura and looked at the mirror again. 'What ever your ring lands on you get,' Syaoran repeated in his head. Did that have to do something with Sakura? 'I'm so stupid! What am I thinking. She's the nanny for crying out loud!!!' Syaoran secretly scolded himself. "Li-san, are you ready to go?" Sakura interupted his train of thought. "Yes. Where to next?" Syaoran asked. "The ferris wheel!!" Ying-fa yelped. "Alright, let's go!"
On the way to the ferris wheel, Ying-fa bumped into someone. "You!" they both said at the same time. It turned out that the person she bumped into was no other than Mark. (k/n: you see something going here?) "Great, look what you did, you gave me cooties!" Mark yelled. "Hello! But I think that you already had them!" Ying-fa retorted. Syaoran was starting to get mad but Sakura held him back, "Remember, he's just a little kid, he can't harm her," Sakura said gingerly. "Yuck, I better go before I get rashes from those cooties," Mark said snobbishly. "Who asked you to stay?" Ying-fa shot at him. Mark walked off with some older woman who seemed to be his mother.
"Hey Ying-fa!" said a little girl skipping up to her. "Hi Kelly!" Ying-fa waved. "Who are you here with?" Kelly asked tossing her blonde hair behind her. "I'm here with my brother and his girlfriend," Ying-fa said. Syaoran shot her a glare and poked her. "Ow, okay, okay, Kelly, I'm here with my brother and my nanny," Ying-fa told Kelly. Sakura giggled to herself but no one noticed. "Who are you here with?" Ying-fa asked Kelly, "I'm here with my aunt and my cousin, Mark," Kelly answered. "You're his cousin? Poor girl, I wish I could help," Ying-fa joked. "I do too. Hey, are you going to the ferris wheel?" Kelly asked. "Yes, you want to join us?" "Sure! Wait let me go tell my aunt!" Kelly exclaimed before dashing off. "Ying-fa, who was that?" Sakura asked. "She's Kelly, she's really nice, she's one of my best friends at school!" Ying-fa explained.
Kelly came rushing back with a smile on her face. "My aunt said yes as long as I stay with you. She also asked if you could drop me off at my house because she's about to leave with Mark, thank goodness!" Kelly said. "You can tell your aunt that we'll drop you off around four," Syaoran told her. Within seconds, Kelly rushed of and came back and they continued to go to the ferris wheel. They waited for what seemed like for ever. Ying-fa and Kelly chatted while Syaoran and Sakura stood there silently.
"Um... so you said that you knew Eriol, right?" Sakura tried to start a conversation. "Yes, he's my business partner," Syaoran replied. "Wow, I haven't seen him in forever! Do you plan on seeing him soon?" Sakura asked. "We're going to see eachother again next week since he's flying over to discuss a merger," Syaoran answered. "I know this is sort of out of the question, but can you please arrange it in a way that maybe I could meet him?" Sakura asked looking at the ground. "Alright, the day he comes, all of our business partners are going out to dinner at a restaurant, uh, this sort of awkward but if you don't mind being my date, I can take you," Syaoran said joining her observation of the ground. Sakura jerked her head up and looked at Syaoran. "That sounds wonderful! Thank you so much! What day is he coming?" Sakura asked Syaoran. "He'll be here on Friday, dinner's at seven," Syaoran confirmed. Sakura and Syaoran both blushed. 'Wow, I'll be his date. Wait a minute, why am I so excited? He's probably a major playboy. If I get involved, he'll probably break my heart into pieces,' Sakura thought sadly. 'I can't possibly be with her, she'll break my heart, I know she will. Even if she wasn't that kind of person, she wouldn't want to be with me,' Syaoran thought.
Finally it was their turn to get on the ferris wheel. Each compartment sat four people. Of course Kelly and Ying-fa sat next to eachother, forcing Sakura and Syaoran together. Syaoran watched as Kelly and Ying-fa whispered to each other and giggled. Everytime they did giggle, they'd always look up at him and Sakura. Sakura noticed this too. The scenery was beautiful from the ferris wheel. Sakura staired as practically all of Oxford was scene. "Hey look, it's my office building," Syaoran pointed to his side. Sakura put her hand on his shoulder so she could see. Syaoran blushed. "Which one is?" Sakura asked. "It's the one with the big white letters and a little globe at the top," Syaoran said. Sakura squinted and finally saw it. Ying- fa and Kelly giggled again.
"What?" Sakura asked. "Oh nothing," the girls replied in unison. Sakura then noticed how close to Syaoran she was. "Oh, I'm sorry," she apologized. "It's alright," Syaoran said still blushing slightly. The rest of the ride was silent, all except Ying-fa and Kellys' giggling and whispering of course. Finally the ride was over and everyone got off, Sakura and Syaoran glanced at eachother, blushed and then shook it off again. "It's almost time to go so I say we head over to the haunted house!" Ying-fa pointed out. "H-h-haunted house," Sakura sqeaked. "Yup!"
The little group headed over to the haunted house and Sakura froze. "Kinimoto-san, you really don't have to go in if you don't want to. I know your scared," Syaoran whispered. "N-no, only little kids are s-scared of h- h-haunted houses," Sakura stuttered again. "What ever you say, Kinimoto- san," Syaoran told her heading off with Ying-fa and Kelly. Sakura sped up to catch up to him and took a big gulp as she entered. This would last forever.
Inside it was pitch black, all for the creepy lanterns that barely lit the way. Sakura could barely see that Syaoran was beside and she kept on bumping into Ying-fa and Kelly. The first few minutes were okay, but then came the scary part. Vampires appeared randomly from the ground causing Sakura to shake. In the midst of the creepy lights, Sakura could see shadowy figures that definately didn't look normal. Sakura was trying her best but gave up and held on to Syaoran for dear life. Syaoran thanked the Gods that it was pitch black or else Sakura would've seen his blush.
Her scent was intoxicating. She smelled of fresh strawberry and vanilla. Finally came the worst part of the whole experience. Ghosts. Sakura gripped on to Syaoran so hard, she practically cut of his blood circulation. Syaoran tried his hardest to keep from laughing. Suddenly, his evil side kicked in. Just when the ghosts and everything else seemed to stop, Syaoran gently got Sakura's arms off of him. When she thought everything was okay, he did something truly evil. In the darkness, he slowly and carefully put his hand on her back and made it seem as if something were crawling up her back. Sakura let out a big screech and practically threw herself on top of Syaoran, causing both of them to fall over.
One of the workers at the haunted house came over with a flashlight and pointed it directly at Sakura and Syaoran, who weren't really in the most respectful position. "I'm sorry sir and madam but this is a public show, if you have to, please take your private show to a private spot," said the clerk emphasizing the words public and private. "But, but..." Syaoran and Sakura tried to explain. Of course, the clerk didn't listen. "Yes brother, this is a PUBLIC place," Ying-fa said causing Kelly to laugh. Syaoran got up and helped Sakura get up. Luckily, the exit wasn't very far.
Ying-fa and Kelly laughed all the way out while Sakura and Syaoran blushed. "Wow, that was so FUN!!" Kelly chirped. "I should hang out with you more often, Ying-fa," Kelly suggested. Syaoran rolled his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. "Ying-fa, it's not that funny," Syaoran warned. "Umm... actually it kind of is," Sakura said quietly. "Sakura-chan, what happened? Why did you scream like that?" Ying-fa asked. "I don't know why, but it felt like something was crawling up my back, something unpleasant. I think it was one of those big hairy spiders," Sakura said as she shivered again. Syaoran burst into a full hearted laugh and was practically on the floor.
"What's so funny?" Sakura asked. "YOU!" Syaoran choked out. "Huh?" Sakura asked still not getting what was that funny. "That wasn't a big hairy spider, THAT WAS ME!!" Syaoran was still laughing, "I used my hand and made it seem as if something was crawling up your back," Syaoran managed to stop laughing but couldn't help the silly smile he had on. "THAT WAS YOU?!!" Sakura said before attacking Syaoran with her fists. This only caused Syaoran to run around and start laughing more. "For a girl, you hit hard," Syaoran chuckled. Sakura growled again and was chasing him again causing a lot of commotion. "YOU PRACTICALLY GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!" Sakura yelled again. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I was just trying to have fun. Forgive me?" Syaoran asked when he finally stopped. Sakura finally stopped trying to chase him. All of a sudden, she started cracking up too.
"Kinimoto, Kinimoto, are you okay?" Syaoran asked seeing how crazy she looked. "Yeah, I'm okay. But that was funny! Good thing I fell on you. It served you right, now you'll probably have back problems," Sakura giggled. "No, I've had heavier people fall on me, MUCH heavier people. Don't ask," Syaoran said refering back to his first few years of training. "Okay, if you two are done flirting, I suggest we go home," Ying-fa interupted. Both Sakura and Syaoran glared at her causing her to crack up. "Okay, I think the day was tiring enough, let's go before we cause anymore damage," Sakura said leading the way to the exit.
They arrived at Kelly's house to drop her off. "Thanks for dropping me home, I had a great time!" Kelly getting out of the car. "It was our pleasure Kelly, you can come to our house whenever you please," Syaoran said from the car. "Okay, bye! Bye Ying-fa!" Kelly waved. Everyone waved to Kelly and waited until someone openned the door to let her in. Then they headed off home.
