Author: ME!!!---kronic lil kaijuu (A.N.'s: Hey, this is kronic lil kaijuu here and I'm saying WUSSUP!!! Heheh, I'm like in summer school, so yeah sorry I never update in a while. Heheh dang I made like some really funny/weird friends at summer school and yeah it's all good-except there's still no guy in my life-BIG SURPRISE ( so not sarcasm). Hehe but I'm hanging in there, enjoying my sad lil single life and falling head over heels for manga and anime characters--- pathetic!. Yup yupz.) |^_^|
" YES! Oh yeah!! GO SAKURA!!! GO SAKURA!!! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY-GONNA PARTY CUZ IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!"
" DANG-come down, woman! It's nothing to "party" over." Tomoyo told her overreacting friend. " He forgave you, big deal.no need to sing. Plus, people are starting to stare."
" Whatever," Sakura said still dancing, " it's a big deal to me, and let them stare-I don't care."
" Yeah, ok." Tomoyo said giving up. " Hey, have you seen Yumi and Arima lately?"
" Huh," Sakura said sounding bitter, " I don't care where Yumi is, but from what I heard, Arima's busy with basketball practice-finals are coming up."
" Oh," Tomoyo just said. And then, " So, what do you wanna do now?"
" I dunno." Sakura said, now just walking along side Tomoyo.
" Hey guys." Two voices from behind them called.
Tomoyo and Sakura turned to see Eriol and Syaoran coming nearer.
" Hey guys," Tomoyo greeted as they all walked together.
Syaoran leaned his elbow on Sakura's shoulder and asked, " wanna go eat at that new ice cream place at the mall?"
" Sure," Sakura answered.
" Yeah, how 'bout you, too, Tomoyo we could share a shake?" Eriol asked wrapping his arm around Tomoyo's waist.
Tomoyo looked down to see where his arm was, raised an eyebrow and slapped his hand away. " NO, thanks. I have to be going anyway." She said hinting to Sakura that she just wanted them to have some time alone together.
// OH MY GOD, TOMOYO!!! YOU'RE DESERTING ME!!! WAIT.that's good.//
" Wells," Eriol said going in between Sakura and Syaoran and putting his arms around their necks, " I guess it's just us then. You're treating, right, Syaoran?"
//Eriol is pure EVIL! And UGH!!! He smells like cheese!!//
" WAHHH!!!" Eriol said being pulled aside by Tomoyo. " Actually, Eriol you're walking me home."
"Since when?" Eriol asked confused.
" Since NOW. Let's go." She said dragging Eriol by the collar. Tomoyo turned around to Sakura and Syaoran and said, " have fun!"
" Anything for you, my love." Eriol said lovingly and trailed beside her.
Sakura and Syaoran just stared off at them for a while until Sakura broke the silence.
" I worry about her." Sakura said shaking her head.
" HER? I'm worried about Eriol, Tomoyo's freakishly strong." Syaoran contradicted.
" True that. True that." Sakura agreed.
" Guess it's just you and me." Syaoran said.
" Yeah, you wanna catch the bus or walk there?" Sakura asked.
" Walk! I ain't riding no bus." Syaoran answered.
" What's wrong with riding the bus? It's better than walking." Sakura pointed out.
" Yeah, but you just sit there on your ass the whole time waiting, and it so long. Plus the mall is just three-four blocks away." Syaoran said.
" Okay, okay, whatever. Lemme just get something in my locker." Sakura answered, giving up on the bus idea.
-_- men.xDD
Sakura you're taking forever!!!" Syaoran said by the entrance door, waiting for Sakura.
" I'm coming-keep your damn pants on." Sakura hollered.
" That's it I'm going to start walking without you, 'cause by the time you get out I could be at the mall already. See ya!" Syaoran said starting to walk on the sidewalk.
Suddenly, there were sounds of rolling wheels on the pavement and someone dashed past him.
" Race ya, loser boy! Oh, and loser buys the winner ice cream!!" Sakura hollered back at him.
" SAKURA?!!" Syaoran said confused and started running. " THAT IS SO DICKS, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD YOUR ROLLERBLADES!!"
Sakura just kept blading and was laughing her head off.
Po P
Syaoran was slow running as he came to the entrance. He stopped by the door and bend forward to catch some air.
"What took you so long?" A voice asked in front of him.
Syaoran stopped breathing and noticed that he stopped right in front of someone. He looked up slowly from the person's shoes to the head.
Sakura smiled happily and waved, " hello!"
He narrowed his eyes as he straightened up and pointed out his finger, " you!"
" Yeah, it's me," Sakura said and added, " the ever lovely, Sakura Kinomoto."
Syaoran put down his hand and said, " lovely?" He scoffed and said, " not even after that much energy wasted, you think you could have burn some fat." Seeing her shocked expression, he pushed the door open and walked in merrily.
Sakura scrunched her face and pouted, " I'm not fat," and she ran in and caught up with Syaoran who was giggling like a damn idiot. " Now, THAT was going too far."
" Well, then," he said extending his pinky, " let's call it truce."
Sakura looked to his pinky and then to his smile. She grabbed his pinky with hers and smiled her smile, " yeah, truce." // I can feel my heart racing.// Then, Sakura let go and looked around nervously and saw the ice cream place. "Oh, look! This is the place, Ice Cream Palace."
They both walked in and looked around with curiosity. There were smooth, glassy, white walls, fake chandeliers, plastic round tables with rhinestones embedded in them, comfy chairs, and people in servant clothing.
" Okay, a bit overboard on the theme, don't you think? I mean, I actually feel like I'm in a palace." Syaoran pointed out.
" What are you kidding me? This is cool, and if they throw in a bath spa and a toilet, it'd be exactly like Tomoyo's guest bathroom." Sakura said.
"Huh," Syaoran said amusingly as the both sat down in a two-seat table by the window.
A waitress, about around 15-16, walked up to them with two crowns in her hands. " Welcome to Ice Cream Palace," she said boringly as she placed the crowns on Sakura and Syaoran's heads. " I am Miki, you servant. What can I do for your highnesses?" She said and did a quick curtsy.
" Um, yeah, I'll have a rocky road in a medium sized cup." Sakura said.
" And I'll have the same," said Syaoran.
The waitress wrote it down on her notepad and said, " coming up, me lord and mistress." And she walked away.
" Okay.," Syaoran said looking after her and adjusting his crown. " I feel really stupid right now-somebody shoot me."
"Oh," Sakura laughed, " it's not that bad, you look so cute!!" She then reached over and pinched his cheeks. //He doesn't know how much I mean that.SUCH a fox.//
Syaoran slapped her hand away and said, " okay that has got to stop right now."
"Hehe." Sakura nickered as the waitress returned with their order.
They became silent for a while as they were scarfing down their ice cream, when someone suddenly spoke.
"Look," Syaoran began taking another bite of ice cream, " we haven't really talked about what happened."
" I'm really sorry about that. I didn't mean to-" Sakura said panicking thinking that he was going to get mad at her again.
" I know, I know, but you got to know." Syaoran said and reached to hold her hand.
//Oh Lordy.//
".you got to be honest with me, otherwise I wouldn't know what's going on in that head of yours."
"Yeah. That was kind of corny, but I get what you're saying." Agreed Sakura and something popped up in her head. " Syaoran?" //I don't care if we have been through this-I got to ask."
" Yeah?" He answered, giving her his full attention.
" Why did you get so mad when I showed up with Arima?" Sakura asked wonderingly.
" I told you, I don't like the guy." Syaoran said a little panicky.
" Now, I KNOW that can't all be it." Sakura said to him. "Come on, I wanna know." // This is it!//
" Uhh.," Syaoran said nervously rubbing his head, " I, uhh, I-I-I yah..um.."
" You?" Sakura asked slowly listening to the stammering.
"I-I-I," he said looking her in the eye, " Like I said, 'I don't like him, and he may act all good and shit but he's not! I don't want you hanging with him."
" First of all, you ain't my daddy so don't go telling me to hang around with. Second, I understand you not liking him, but I have yet to see him do something ' bad.'" She said putting quotations around the word bad. " AND, who I date is none of your business. Why should you care?" Sakura continued not bothering to leave out the bitterness in her tone.
" The same reason with your issues with Yumi." Syaoran pointed out.
" Doubt it," Sakura mumbled not even thinking she said that.
"I was just looking out for you. You know? Sakura, you mean more to me as a friend than Yumi as my girlfriend. You're like family." Syaoran continued.
//F-family?!//
"You know what, Syaoran," Sakura said beginning to stand up and looking him straight in the eye. " If I meant that much to you, as you say you do, then y why don't you listen to me and dump Yumi's sorry ass onto the street!" And with that, she stormed out throwing the crown-BAM-right in the head!
Syaoran, who was left at the table was very shocked, hurt, and so confused. " What?" He quickly pulled out money from his pockets to cover the food and ran after her.
Sakura was stomping through the mall with one thing on her mind. //FAMILY?! I'm just family to him! Well, it wasn't like I didn't expect that, but he didn't have to say it.//
" Sakura!" Shouted a voice behind called out with the sound of shoes tapping on the floor coming closer.
"Leave me alone," Sakura answered not wanting to turn back and was too buried in her thoughts. //Why can't he think more of me than that?//
Suddenly, Sakura felt someone grabbed her wrist, and she reluctantly turned around. " I thought I told you-AAAHH!" Sakura found her face only inches away from complete stranger.
" Hey, baby. Wanna come over to my house and have a little fun?" said the person, who seemed to be a college guy.
"Umm, no, and I'd appreciate it if you let go of my wrist." Sakura answered furiously.
" What's the rush, baby?" He said and put his other arm around her waist, pulling her close to him.
//Oh my god.// Sakura was struggling, but he just kept his grip. " I thought I told you to let go, and don't call me 'baby.'"
Syaoran was now nearby looking searchingly through the crowds of people, and he stopped, eyes wide open with shocked and narrowed with anger, seeing Sakura struggling away from some guy. He started running towards them.
" HEY! Nobody turns down, Kazu Yuki." He responded to Sakura's decline and took an even harder grasp.
"LET GO!!!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs, which caught people's attention. //Oh,no! Somebody help me! Oh Syaoran.where are you?!//
" Hey!" Someone interrupted. Sakura turned and saw Syaoran approach them.
"Syaoran!" Sakura cried happily.
" Leave her alone!" Syaoran said warningly pointing dangerously at the guy, Kazu.
" Or what?" Kazu said pushing Sakura aside and going face-to-face with Syaoran, staring him down. " What are YOU going to do about it?"
" I just might do THIS!" Syaoran said and wound back and charged his fist right into Kazu's face.
Kazu flew back a little with his head up in the air and stopped. He looked at Syaoran, his hands cupped to his face and noticed that his nose was bleeding.
"Damnit!! You fucking broke my nose! Oh, that's it. YOU ARE GOING DOWN!" Kazu said coming at Syaoran with his fist ready in front of him.
" Bring it on, small fry." Syaoran said ever so confident.
"Oh, Syaoran gonna kick his ass." Sakura said under her breath, not bothering to break up the fight-which was very amusing to her, but yet still felt really scared.
Kazu came at him with his fist, but Syaoran blocked it, again and again. Kazu was getting reckless and tried a right hook, but Syaoran ducked.
" Okay, now to end this." Syaoran said and stood up, did a round kick to the face, came down and swung his foot again-sweeping him off his feet. Kazu came to a big fall and starting moaning on the ground. Syaoran got up and brushed his shoulders. " That'll teach you-you mess with her, you got me to deal with." He then made a quick run over to Sakura. " Sakura!"
//My hero!//
" Are you okay?" Syaoran said grabbing her hands.
" Yeah, I'm okay." She said a little freaked out in reminiscing the whole thing.
" Are you sure? Did he do anything to you?" Syaoran asked holding her face in his hands so that they made straight eye contact.
" Y-yeah, and nothing really; he just wouldn't let go of me," she answered massaging her wrist.
"Come on, let's go." Syaoran said, and they walked out.
;__;
Later, they ended up in the park.
//Whoo, this is where I ended up last time.// Sakura was just quiet and looked around the whole time and skating slowly; Syaoran had his hand locked with hers, so he lose her-which could also explain the light redness on Sakura's cheeks.
"Let's sit for awhile." Syaoran said suggesting the swing.
They both sat, Sakura swinging slowly and Syaoran looking at his feet. It was silent between them, and none of them knew how to start the conversation when.
" You know," Syaoran being the first to speak after a while. " This is where we came looking for you that night."
Sakura then looked up at him. //So, he was thinking about it too.//
" Yeah, I was so sure I felt your aura around here." He said. "Where were you?"
Sakura looked down to her lap. //Should I tell him the truth?// " Ah, I flew around." Sakura said.
" You used your card?" Syaoran asked.
" Yeah, I mean I didn't want to run, and I knew you guys were coming after me so, I just.flew." Sakura said now looking at him.
" Hmm," Syaoran said and turned to the sky. " Smart."
Long pause
" When I saw you in trouble with that guy." Syaoran said pausing. " I just forgot everything and wanted to beat the crap of that guy.
" I was so scared. I mean, some random dude, just came up to me and started asking if I wanted to come over his house and have sex." Sakura said suddenly.
" WHAT?" Syaoran said overcome with rage and stood up. " He said that to you?!"
" Y-yeah." Sakura answered frightened by his anger.
" Ah, where's my curse charm, I'm going to send plagues upon his no good ass, that son of a-" Syaoran said searching his pockets for his charm.
" It's okay, Syaoran! Calm down." She said, standing up herself. " It's okay. Besides, the way you were fighting, you could've send that poor guy to the hospital."
"Poor guy? Poor YOU! You were the victim here. Sakura." Syaoran said taking her hands again. " When you were with that guy, I felt like I if I didn't do anything, I was going to lose you."
" But Syaoran, I was probably only going to be raped, but I would have scared him away long before that. That bastard wasn't gonna get anything but some broken somethings from me." Sakura said confident.
" Don't even joke about that, Sakura." Syaoran said very serious.
" Oh, sorry." She said regretfully for that.
" Well, the important thing is that you're okay." Syaoran said. "And you're crazy if you think I'm going to let you do anything by yourself anymore.
" Well, yeah. It's all thanks to you." Sakura said pointing him in the chest. And without thinking she was going to peck a kiss on his cheek, but she accidentally met with his mouth. //Whoops.ohh.oh.he's good great lips.// Weird thing was that Syaoran was the one that lunge his tongue in her mouth and Sakura responded. And they went at it for about 5-6 seconds, and Syaoran's eyes shot open and broke the kiss.
They both kept their hands to theirselves and looked very uncomfortable.
" S-s-sorry." Syaoran said, not making eye contact with her.
" S' okay." Sakura said turned around and touched her lips. Not knowing what else to say, she peered at her watched and turned to look at him . " Whoo, look at the time. It's 4:30-I got to go home, it's my turn to start dinner."
" Y-yeah." Syaoran stammered. " I-I-I-I h-h-have to g-get g-g-g-g-going, too."
" Yeah, I-I-I'm gonna go." And they both turned at the same time and walk away.
From behind the tree by the swing out peeked a figure, who walked into the sunset's light appeared to be non other than Yumi. She suddenly spoke under her breath, that wasn't that audible, but sure enough she said, " I knew it."
O_O ( MUWAHAHAHA.ahh.was that short, cuz yeah. I've been thinking this chapter through in my head through the time I didn't have my comp, but yeah.that's how it turned out. Was it okay? Wellz, please review!! And whoo wait till the next chapter comes up.who knew Yumi was there.I DID.! Hehehe. Oh and thanks to Seung Ho, that kissing part was PURE inspiration!!! Arigato!!

" YES! Oh yeah!! GO SAKURA!!! GO SAKURA!!! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY-GONNA PARTY CUZ IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!"
" DANG-come down, woman! It's nothing to "party" over." Tomoyo told her overreacting friend. " He forgave you, big deal.no need to sing. Plus, people are starting to stare."
" Whatever," Sakura said still dancing, " it's a big deal to me, and let them stare-I don't care."
" Yeah, ok." Tomoyo said giving up. " Hey, have you seen Yumi and Arima lately?"
" Huh," Sakura said sounding bitter, " I don't care where Yumi is, but from what I heard, Arima's busy with basketball practice-finals are coming up."

" Yeah, how 'bout you, too, Tomoyo we could share a shake?" Eriol asked wrapping his arm around Tomoyo's waist.
Tomoyo looked down to see where his arm was, raised an eyebrow and slapped his hand away. " NO, thanks. I have to be going anyway." She said hinting to Sakura that she just wanted them to have some time alone together.
// OH MY GOD, TOMOYO!!! YOU'RE DESERTING ME!!! WAIT.that's good.//
" Wells," Eriol said going in between Sakura and Syaoran and putting his arms around their necks, " I guess it's just us then. You're treating, right, Syaoran?"
//Eriol is pure EVIL! And UGH!!! He smells like cheese!!//
" WAHHH!!!" Eriol said being pulled aside by Tomoyo. " Actually, Eriol you're walking me home."
"Since when?" Eriol asked confused.
" Since NOW. Let's go." She said dragging Eriol by the collar. Tomoyo turned around to Sakura and Syaoran and said, " have fun!"
" Anything for you, my love." Eriol said lovingly and trailed beside her.
Sakura and Syaoran just stared off at them for a while until Sakura broke the silence.
" I worry about her." Sakura said shaking her head.
" HER? I'm worried about Eriol, Tomoyo's freakishly strong." Syaoran contradicted.
" True that. True that." Sakura agreed.
" Guess it's just you and me." Syaoran said.
" Yeah, you wanna catch the bus or walk there?" Sakura asked.
" Walk! I ain't riding no bus." Syaoran answered.

//Oh my god.// Sakura was struggling, but he just kept his grip. " I thought I told you to let go, and don't call me 'baby.'"
Syaoran was now nearby looking searchingly through the crowds of people, and he stopped, eyes wide open with shocked and narrowed with anger, seeing Sakura struggling away from some guy. He started running towards them.
" HEY! Nobody turns down, Kazu Yuki." He responded to Sakura's decline and took an even harder grasp.
"LET GO!!!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs, which caught people's attention. //Oh,no! Somebody help me! Oh Syaoran.where are you?!//
" Hey!" Someone interrupted. Sakura turned and saw Syaoran approach them.
"Syaoran!" Sakura cried happily.
" Leave her alone!" Syaoran said warningly pointing dangerously at the guy, Kazu.

Kazu flew back a little with his head up in the air and stopped. He looked at Syaoran, his hands cupped to his face and noticed that his nose was bleeding.
"Damnit!! You fucking broke my nose! Oh, that's it. YOU ARE GOING DOWN!" Kazu said coming at Syaoran with his fist ready in front of him.
" Bring it on, small fry." Syaoran said ever so confident.
"Oh, Syaoran gonna kick his ass." Sakura said under her breath, not bothering to break up the fight-which was very amusing to her, but yet still felt really scared.

Sakura looked down to her lap. //Should I tell him the truth?// " Ah, I flew around." Sakura said.
" You used your card?" Syaoran asked.
" Yeah, I mean I didn't want to run, and I knew you guys were coming after me so, I just.flew." Sakura said now looking at him.
" Hmm," Syaoran said and turned to the sky. " Smart."
Long pause
" When I saw you in trouble with that guy." Syaoran said pausing. " I just forgot everything and wanted to beat the crap of that guy.
" I was so scared. I mean, some random dude, just came up to me and started asking if I wanted to come over his house and have sex." Sakura said suddenly.
" WHAT?" Syaoran said overcome with rage and stood up. " He said that to you?!"
" Y-yeah." Sakura answered frightened by his anger.
" Ah, where's my curse charm, I'm going to send plagues upon his no good ass, that son of a-" Syaoran said searching his pockets for his charm.
" It's okay, Syaoran! Calm down." She said, standing up herself. " It's okay. Besides, the way you were fighting, you could've send that poor guy to the hospital."
"Poor guy? Poor YOU! You were the victim here. Sakura." Syaoran said taking her hands again. " When you were with that guy, I felt like I if I didn't do anything, I was going to lose you."
" But Syaoran, I was probably only going to be raped, but I would have scared him away long before that. That bastard wasn't gonna get anything but some broken somethings from me." Sakura said confident.
" Don't even joke about that, Sakura." Syaoran said very serious.
" Oh, sorry." She said regretfully for that.
" Well, the important thing is that you're okay." Syaoran said. "And you're crazy if you think I'm going to let you do anything by yourself anymore.
" Well, yeah. It's all thanks to you." Sakura said pointing him in the chest. And without thinking she was going to peck a kiss on his cheek, but she accidentally met with his mouth. //Whoops.ohh.oh.he's good great lips.// Weird thing was that Syaoran was the one that lunge his tongue in her mouth and Sakura responded. And they went at it for about 5-6 seconds, and Syaoran's eyes shot open and broke the kiss.
They both kept their hands to theirselves and looked very uncomfortable.
" S-s-sorry." Syaoran said, not making eye contact with her.
" S' okay." Sakura said turned around and touched her lips. Not knowing what else to say, she peered at her watched and turned to look at him . " Whoo, look at the time. It's 4:30-I got to go home, it's my turn to start dinner."
" Y-yeah." Syaoran stammered. " I-I-I-I h-h-have to g-get g-g-g-g-going, too."
" Yeah, I-I-I'm gonna go." And they both turned at the same time and walk away.
From behind the tree by the swing out peeked a figure, who walked into the sunset's light appeared to be non other than Yumi. She suddenly spoke under her breath, that wasn't that audible, but sure enough she said, " I knew it."
