A/N: This format might be a little different from the others, because my hard drive deleted and the only copies of this story I have are on the Internet, which is on my DAD's computer. I've decided to sum up the story, and there will probably only be three more chapters before the end. This is part one of the 'Wo Ai Ni" two-part series, and then it'll end with one final chapter. I don't think I'll do a sequel, unless you guys beg on your knees, because there aren't many more things to be said.
Note: I don't have the last chapter, so I'm not going to post a few lines from the last one here, and thank you to my WONDERFUL reviewers, (last count was 115! Wow!) because I didn't expect so many reviews. I will be started a NEW account at ff.net, because I feel that 'Kinomoto Sakura' is too common. So look for new stories, as well as the EDITED version of this story, (I'll still leave this here) there, if I choose to edit this one. Thank you.
bWARNING! TOTAL FLUFF AND WAFFY-NESS IN THE LAST THREE CHAPTERS!!!/b
Song is (c) Michelle Branch. And if HTML shows up, ignore it, because it's all ff.net's fault. X.x And, about that 'thing' that was going to happen that DAY, it's going to happen to-day (not THIS chapter), but sorry for the mix up.

bChapter Seven: Wo Ai Ni (I Love You) - Part One/b
It was Friday afternoon, one of the last days of the 'week' Sakura and Syaoran were supposed to spend together. Syaoran had to admit; it was one of the best times of his life. Of course, he would never admit to that.
"Syaoran-kun, don't forget, the festival is tonight!" Sakura said eagerly as she skipped down the street towards to her house. Last week had been so much fun with Syaoran -- even though he had been mean and cold to her the first few days, he had softened up.
Syaoran nodded soundlessly at her. He had too many things to think about. 'What is this strange feeling I have these days? Is it . . . depression at leaving Sakura? Why do I care so much about her? Why? Syaoran this is not good . . .'
The last two days had been eventful, Meiling and Hinato got along fairly well now, and Hinato wasn't annoying Syaoran to death, because he no longer showed interest in Sakura, but Meiling, of all people. Tomoyo and Eriol were blushing around each other, and well . . . Sakura . . .
Syaoran's eyes lit up at the very mention of the green-eyed goddess's name. 'Why do I think so much about her?' Syaoran cursed in his mind. 'What in the world is wrong with ME?'
Sakura smiled softly at Syaoran staring blankly at her when she waved a hand gently in front of his face. He blinked then seemed to come to reality when she said his name.
"Syaoran-kun, Earth to Syaoran-kun, have you been hearing what I'm saying?" she accused.
Syaoran started. "Y-Yeah! O-of course!" Do I . . . what's that feeling called again . . . ?
"Oh Syaoran, you're so funny." Sakura's bell-like giggle rang in his ears. Was that feeling called . . . like? No, it was stronger and more forceful than like . . . it couldn't be . . .
Sakura started to sing lightly as the setting sun dropped down a few inches more. She had the perfect kimono for tonight's festival. It would be so much fun!
i Can't you see? There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless
No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny
'Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings
and time held its breath so I could see, yeah
and you set me free /i
Syaoran gazed at Sakura's side profile as she sang. She wasn't exquisitely beautiful. Not so fancy or delicate as lace, nor scruffy and plain . . . she was natural. It was a simple charm, a gentle and soft sweetness.
i There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting
You make me restless
You're in my heart
The only light that shines there in the dark
'Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings
and time held its breath so I could see, yeah
and you set me free /i
Oh Sakura-chan . . .
i When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
'Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings /i
Wo . . . ai . . . ni . . . Ying Hua.
i And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free. /i
"Syaoran? Syaoran-kun? Are you there?" Sakura asked, worried, shaking a hand in front of Syaoran's face again. He jumped.
Sakura frowned gently at him. "You know, these last two days, I'd swear you were a dreamer if I didn't know you that well. Are you sick or something? Normally you'd retort with a smark-aleck comment, but now you just stare at me like I have something on my face."
Worried that Syaoran didn't respond, she asked anxiously, "DO I have something on my face?"
Syaoran just smiled his rare-smile at her sadly. "No, you don't."
Sakura looked suspiciously at him. "Okay then. We're baaacckk!" she called though the door as they entered the Kinomoto house.
Touya grunted when he saw Syaoran enter though the door. Touya started to glare at him, then broke off, surprised. The 'punk gaki' wasn't glaring back at him as usual. He was staring at Sakura's retreating back with a bemused, almost-dreamy expression.
"Hey. Gaki. Do you like my sister?" Touya said though narrowed eyes.
"What?" Syaoran jumped. Touya softened his glare. "I mean, do you like my sister?"
Syaoran muttered softly, "You have no idea." Luckily Touya didn't hear this, but just said, "Take care of her for me . . . okay?"
Syaoran looked at him in surprise, his amber eyes flickering. "N-nani? Excuse me?"
Touya just shrugged and left the desk, leaving Syaoran to his own thoughts.
~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura was up in her room, dressing for the festival that would take place during the night. It was dark out, and the stars were glittering in the night sky.
"Kero! Are you sure you don't want to go?" Sakura asked as she lifted her new silk kimono out. The tiny pearly-white winged stuffed animal stuck a tiny head out of the cookie tin.
"Yeah, I don't want to be there when you get all mushy and start kissin' with that gaki."
Sakura burned bright red. "NANI?"
Kero just chuckled knowingly, and went back to eating. Then he stuck his head out again. "Just don't forget to bring me lots of takoyaki, okay? Do you remember? Takoyaki. Say that three times in your head. Takoyaki for Kero. Takoyaki for Kero. Tako,"
"All right already, KERO!" Sakura said, interrupting him. She held the kimono up in the light of the lamp by her bed. Tomoyo had worked for weeks on it, especially for her.
'Thanks, Tomoyo.' Sakura thought as she twirled around holding the kimono.
It was pale silver, which had an iridescent sheen of pink that reflected off in the moonlight. Lined with gold and silver threads, it was embroidered with pale white petals; each petal carefully blushed with the same cherry-pink colour.
She had already just taken a bath, so her hair was still wet, but it was wrapped up in a white towel. She slipped the kimono on, and took out her new silver sandals that went well with the kimono.
Taking the towel out, she blow-dried her hair, and instead of putting it in its usual two messy pigtails, she left most of it down, and tied the rest to the back of her hair with a pink ribbon.
"Kero, I'm leaving! Enjoy your night okay, and don't scare Dad too much." Sakura said as she dabbed on a tiny bit of the cherry-blossom perfume Syaoran had liked so much and a little bit of sparkly lip gloss.
Kero flew out of the cookie tin. "Bye, and Sakura, have a good time. I really mean it." Sakura smiled at Kero. "Aww, that's so sweet of you Kero. Don't worry, I'll bring heaps of food home for you." She hugged Kero, who started muttering how sentimental he was getting, and departed.
~*~*~*~*~*
Syaoran felt his jaw drop when Sakura descended down the stairs, like an angel that had come from the heavens down the earth. She was enchantingly beautiful.
"S-S-Sakura," he stammered, "Y-you look beautiful."
Sakura smiled at Syaoran, who was dressed in a forest green kimono and his hair seemed like it was almost unmessy for once, as if he'd tried to control it. 'He looks very kawaii when he blushes like that.' Sakura commented to herself as she came down.
"Hooee!" Syaoran's eyes widened when Sakura tripped over something on the stairs and tumbled down. [A/N: I'm so evil. MWAHAHAHA!] Syaoran darted over towards the stairs. "Sakura!"
"Oomph." She stumbled down the stairs landing into Syaoran's arms. "N- nani?" Feeling herself against something warm and breathing she looked up into a pair of fiery golden-amber eyes, locking with her startling green ones. As if forced by some impish pixie, she stumbled forward, her lips brushing against his warm ones.
She saw Syaoran's eyes widen, but then something burn in those fiery eyes -- she knew what it was deep in her heart, but she didn't believe it. It was a dream, for the second that their lips met. Sakura and Syaoran pulled away, both flushing pink.
"G-gomen nasai." Sakura apologized. Syaoran shook his head, "Think nothing of it." Sakura looked up at him, startled. 'Was it really nothing . . .' she thought sadly, looking at him. "Yeah, it was nothing. An accident."
Syaoran felt as if someone had taken his head, stomped on it and ripped it in half. "Yeah," he murmured softly, "I-It was nothing." Withdrawn, he bowed stiffly to her, "Ladies first." Sakura glanced at him, worried, and then went out the door.
To be continued . . .

Mwahahaha! I really AM so evil, aren't I? Sorry it's in a cliffie (is that a cliffie?), but I really had to go at that moment, and I really sorry, even though I'm evil. ^_^ Hope you aren't TOO mad at me! Anyways, if you're not TOO mad, could you please review for me, and I'll get the next chapter up even faster! If you don't, *shrugs* It's your loss, since I e- mail the people who review when the next chapter is up. - Kinomoto Sakura
