Well, the third chapter is here, and I appreciate everybody who has reviewed this fanfic so far! I love you guys! *hugs* More S+S in here, yay! ^_^ And, guess what, another visitor (who I gave away in the reviews, but oh well…) and yup you were right, it's…well, to those who haven't seen the reviews yet, you'll find out in the story. Are you guys are wondering about Hinato, right? ^_^;; I know that he is kinda strange, but he is just a nice lovable guy (who's kinda slow-witted) but sweet anyways. Since they are still in the middle of card transformations, I've added one in here, as you can see soon! ^_^ Hope you enjoy, and this chapter is dedicated to my friend Sarah, who's always there for me! ^_^

Chapter Three :: A Walk by the Ocean



Syaoran sat angrily at the ice-cream counter while Sakura yelled after him, "Wait, Li-sama!" That annoying person had to follow her as well…



Sakura ran into the ice-cream parlor, wondering what was the matter with Li. He seemed…well, grouchier then usual. Hinato followed her in, occasionally bursting into some sappy love song, which Sakura found extremely annoying.



"Li-sama, what is the matter?? You look so upset all of the sudden and left without speaking." Sakura asked, looking worried. Syaoran looked up, into her anxious eyes, and sighed. "It's nothing."



Sakura sat down next to him as the serving girl walked over to them. "Are you guys going to order?"



Sakura glanced at Li, and replied, "Umm…I'll have strawberry…and Li…?" Syaoran glanced up, "Just chocolate, please." The serving girl nodded briskly and strode away.



To their dismay, Hinato bounded over and whined, "Sakura-chan, why did you leave me all alone outside?? I could have gotten lost or something." Syaoran looked at him dryly, "I think you could hardly consider being left right outside the parlor where you could see us "lost"." Sakura nodded, as if agreeing.



Hinato grimaced at him, but smiled happily at Sakura, like an overgrown puppy. "Did you guys order already?" he asked, as he plopped down next to Sakura. "Yes." He looked dismayed, "Awww…oh well, I'll just have to share yours Sakura then." Just then an angry voice outside yelled "Syaaaaoooyyyraaaaaannnnn!!!"



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



An angry and red Li Meiling charged into the room, oblivious to the stares she was receiving from everyone in the parlor. Syaoran's eyes widened. "Mei—Meiling??!"



"Who did you think it was, your mother?!" Syaoran jumped up in shock. "You didn't bring her here, did you??"



Meiling rolled her eyes, "Of course not dummy. Why would I do that?" Syaoran breathed a sigh of relief before sitting down again.



Meiling's eyes landed on Sakura. "Kinomoto?! What are you doing here with Li? Nevermind, don't answer that." She said calmly before sitting down beside Syaoran.



Sakura's eyes sparkled, "Meling! It's so good to see you! How have you been? When did you get to Japan?? Why??" Meiling giggled. "Wow…slow down Kinomoto. One question at a time. I came here to help you!"



Hinato, who could not be ignored for long, interrupted, "My darling Sakura, who is that loud girl and what is she doing here?"



Meiling, who seemed to see Hinato for the first time, replied angrily, "It's none of your business. And who are you calling loud?!" Hinato merely glanced at her, "Hmph, Sakura let's leave this horribly mean and ill- tempered person and go to a nice beach somewhere."



Now Meiling looked positively mad. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!!! How dare you…you rude person!! Do you have any idea who you are talking to?!"



Hinato shrugged, "No. Who are you, the queen of England?" (AN: No offense. ^_^)



Meling's eyes turned red (AN: Ooo…scary), "I am Li Meling, and for your information I am an expert martial artist and could break your nose in a second!"



The two continued arguing for about ten more minutes and Sakura and Syaoran sweatdropped. They quietly left, as the other two continued yelling at each other.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



Sakura looked happily at Syaoran, "Isn't it great the Meling is back? It'll be just like old times…all of us together…" Syaoran muttered, "Except with that stupid Hinato tagging along…"



Sakura glanced curiously at him. "What do you have against Hinato anyway?" Syaoran's ears flushed red, but he was silent.



Syaoran suddenly said, "Do you feel something?" Sakura fell silent for a few seconds before she replied, "I feel Clow's aura again. Do you?" Syaoran nodded, "I can feel a very strong presence…" But in a flash it had disappeared as soon as it had come. "Hoe?" Sakura looked around. "Where did it go?"



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



They returned to Syaoran's apartment, to find Wei cooking lunch. "Ohaoyo Mr. Wei!" Sakura greeted him brightly. Wei turned and gave her a gentle smile. "Ohaoyo Miss Sakura. Lunch will not be ready until later. Why don't you go down to the beach? It's a nice day out." Sakura agreed and surprisingly so did Syaoran.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



Sakura gazed into the green-blue depths of the ocean, her honey brown hair blowing loosely in the wind. Unknown to her, Syaoran watched her underneath his bangs. Why…do I feel this way? He argued with himself in his mind. Am I in…love with her…?



His thoughts were interrupted by a gigantic tidal wave crashing into the shore of the beach. "Hoooee!" Sakura screamed as the wave came down inches away from them. Syaoran pushed her to the side, landing on top of her.



He gazed into her shimmering green eyes, wide with fright. "Sa—Sakura, don't be scared. I'm here." He realized how close they were and he could even smell a hint of cherry blossom in her hair. "Mmm…you…smell like…cherry blossoms…"



Sakura laughed nervously, "Ehehehe…ehh…yes, my dad gave me a cherry blossom scented perfume…" Baka Sakura, she thought. Why did I have to wear it today, of all days!



Syaoran murmured, "It…smells nice…" Sakura timidly said, "H—hoooee…ari…arigato Li-sama…" I sound like such a baka, she thought to herself. (AN: Awww…poor Sakura-chan…)



Syaoran leaned closer, inches away from her face. "Your eyes…are like emeralds…" Sakura giggled shyly, "Hoooe…hehehe…" Li sounded just like Eriol, all gentlemanly. She never knew Li could act like this…or had a…well, "romantic" side.



He bent over, even closer to her face. Sakura felt unable to breathe. But suddenly, a gigantic wave swept over them, almost hitting them, when Syaoran turned around in a second and yelled, "Wind, come to my aid, Wind!" A cone of wind surrounded them, pushing the water away, back into the ocean. "Sakura!"



Sakura nodded, knowing what to do. "Watery card, under the contract we made, release! Sakura Card! Push the tidal waves into the opposite direction!" (AN: I don't know the exact words for this…so I'm making it up…hope you don't mind, okay?) Watery gushed out, pushing with more force against the tidal waves, while Sakura pulled out another card. "Freeze Card, under the contract we made, release! Sakura card! Freeze the tidal waves into a sheet of solid ice!" Freeze blew a puff of cold wind at the waves, causing them to freeze.



Sakura sighed in relief, but wobbled on her feet. Syaoran ran over, concern showing on his face. "Sakura, are you alright?"



Sakura gave him a shaky smile. "I—I can wa—lk…" She collapsed, but before hitting the ground, Syaoran caught her.



She collapsed on top of him, giving him a weak smile before murmering, "Thank you for calling me Sakura before…it made me really happy. Can I call you Syaoran-kun now?"



Syaoran blushed a deep shade of red before muttering, "Do whatever you want." He gently carried her back to the apartment.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



Sakura's eyes flew open. Where was she? She gazed at her surroundings. She blinked, and saw Tomoyo come into view. "T—tomoyo? What are you doing here?" She glanced around, and saw Syaoran, looking a bit red, and Meiling and Hinato staring at her. Eriol was there as well, with a small smirk, while looking from time to time at Syaoran.



Tomoyo moaned, "Oh no!! I missed videotaping you again!! How will I ever get my full collection of the "Sakura Card Transformations" complete now??! And Kero wasn't even there to give me a full account of it…" Everyone sweatdropped.



Sakura blushed. "T—Tomoyo-chan!"



Tomoyo brightened. "Li-sama was there right??" She turned around towards Li and began filming him. "Okay, now tell me all that happened."



Li blushed red for a split second, then just happened to notice their guests. "Daidouji!" he growled at her from under his breath. "We…have guests." Eriol looked as if this didn't surprise him, but Hinato was openly gaping at Tomoyo. "What do you mean about sweet Sakura-chan's 'card transformations'?"



Sakura closed her eyes. Oh no…we've blew it…now the whole world will know about the Clow—er Sakura Cards…she thought to herself. Syaoran looked at Sakura with concerned eyes. "S—Sakura are you alright?"



Tomoyo and Meiling looked at him in surprise and shock. Meiling regained her voice first. "D…Did you just call Kinomoto…Sakura?!!"



~*------- To Be Continued… -------*~



Heeheehee, I'm so evil aren't I??! I know…cliffhanger, but at least you can look forward to the next chapter, ne?? How did you like this chapter? I added some more S+S, since everyone seemed to look forward to it, and their might be a small about of E+T…but remember, this is mainly focused on S+S, so don't expect much. I'm sorry to E+T fans, but there are plenty more E+T stories out there, and I think you will enjoy them. What was your favorite scene? I like the beach scene…Well, I'm currently working on chapter four, and I think this will be a pretty long fanfic if I'm expected to tell the adventures of their entire week, so Chapter Four will be about…the next day, at school!
