Chapter 3
You could cut the tension with a knife. Li and Sakura were nervous and it showed. It showed by Li wringing his hands and looking any and every where but at Sakura, and Sakura kept her eyes downcast, suddenly very interested in her carpet.
"So......." Sakura started, as Li looked up from the blank t.v. and stared straight into her face."Hi"
"Uh........hi." Li smiled goofily, nervously shifting slightly on his spot on the couch, which sat infront of the fire. He saw Sakura pull her light blue blanket around her body more tightly, shivering slightly.
"You cold?" Li asked, stupidly. But as soon as the words were out of his dry mouth he regretted them.
'Of course she's cold, you moron! We don't haave any heat!You are so stupid sometimes! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' Li thought to himself, blushing madly.
Li's self-hating thoughts were interuppted by Sakura's sweet as candy voice.
"Uh...about that hot chocolate......you want some?"
"Yeah..of course."
Li looked into her face and could've kissed her for not pointing out the stupidity of his oh-so-stupid question. 'Maybe I should kiss her..' Li thought to himself as he got up off of the couch and followed the sock- footed Sakura into the kitchen. 'Later....definately later..' Li mumbled to himself.
"What was that, Li? You say something? " Sakura asked, as she started to boil a pot of water.
Li blushed, which he seemed to be doing a lot of, lately.
"Um...no...no..nothing at all..." Li said, as Sakura just looked at him and leaned against the counter, waiting for the water to boil. Li followed suit, and leaned right next to her, making it her turn to blush.
"So............hi."
"Hi."
Neither of them said a word as they waited for the water to boil. Neither could think of a thing to say, but luckily, they would'nt have to, as the water was bubbling and fully boiled.
Sakura gingerly poured the water into two mugs with spoons in them, put them on a tray, which had cinamon rolls (iced, of course) and two packs of cocoa mix on it, and began to pick it up, but was stopped by Li.
"Uh.....let me get that..." Li said, blushing again, and took the tray from her hands, as Sakura just looked to the floor, in a futile attempt to hide her red face from Li, but to no avail.
Li walked over to the coffee table, and sat down the tray onto it, then sat down on the couch, closely followed by Sakura, all the while Li thanking God that he had managed not to trip and fall on his face. That would be embarrassing, but not nearly as embarrassing as the words that soon came from his mouth.
"Uh...nice weather we're having..." Li could've kicked himself. Hard.
"Yeah, you're right. This is nice weather for polar bears at the zoo." Sakura said, making a nice save to try and reduce Li's embarrassment a little.
It kinda worked, but Li decided that it was the time to pull out the big guns...so he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, red-foil- wrapped gift and thrust his shaking hand at Sakura,who was stirring her hot cocoa.
"I know it's not Christmas, yet, and everything, but you know, yeah..." Li stumbled over his own words and Sakura put down her cocoa, and took the small box from his still-trembling hand, both blushing as their hands touched.
"Oh...wow...I don't know what to say...thanks,Li." Sakura as she carefully opened the box and revealed a silver ring with half of a heart onto it and his name insbired in fancy cursive writng on the top.
"Uh...yeah..it's supposed to be half my heart, and everything." Li managed to say, blushing redder than the fire in front of them.
"It's so beautiful, Li. Thank you so much!" Sakura, in her excitment that Li may like her after all, grabbed him for a tight hug.
Li could've had a heart attack, but settled for a small intake of air as he hugged her back. After staying like that for atleast an hour (2 minutes) Sakkura, starting to feel quite embarrassed, pulled away from Li,who let out the breath he was holding. Still blushing, Sakura reached nervously for her backpack, and pulled out a small wrapped gift, similar to his, but wrapped in green foil instead.
Following Li's example, she thrust it at him, and he opened it, startled that she had gotten him anything at all. He opened the box to reveal a ring similar to the one gave her, yet more boyish and with her name on it. He smiled, thinking that Sakura might like him after all.
"Read the insciption on the inside." they both said in unison, and both looked down and did so.
After reading the inside of their rings, and totally forgetting their hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls, they stared at each other, faces gradually getting closer and closer, their faces were mere inches apart, then centameters, and then their was no space between their lips at all (if ya catch my drift).
And, as they kissed, they both thought of the inscriptions they had just read..
' I love you, now and forever, Sakura. -Li '
'I will forever love you, Li. -Sakura '
The End....Maybe

Author's Note: Sorry for taking so long, I just could'nt get the inspiration to finish it. This took me a hour and a half, and I just kinda made everything up as I went, so sorry if it's short. Plus, I've recently gotten addicted to Kingdom Hearts (the video game) and I have done nothing but play it for the last few days. (Twenty-four hours and thirty-eight minutes of gameplay and counting..) If you have not played that game before, I suggest you start, because it one of the best video games I have ever played and one of my personal faves ( aside from Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets on PS2, which I can't rent from my local grocery storec anymore because some one broke it and they do not plan on replacing it. Damn them! I shall go to my local video store instead!)
Stuff wrong with the story: I kmnow that Li could not have ordered an inscribed ring and got it back in a few minutes time, but work with me, here. And, I know that the gift was kinda corny and more suited for Valentine's Day, but that's all I could think of. Also, if you put the two halves of the heart together, they make one. Oh, I am so corny......
Hope you like it. A sequel, maybe? You never know................
