The Obstacles Of Love

Recap on last chapter:
He looked down at the peaceful Sakura sleeping. 'she's so pretty…' before he knew what he was doing he started leaning almost closing the distance between their faces…
Chapter 5: Unexplainable Feelings
He leaned closer and closer their faces now inches apart. Her eyes fluttered open and he jerked back immediately growing bright crimson red. ' What was I thinking? How could I do that?? That has never happened before…' Sakura's voice broke his thoughts.
"Huh? What happened?? Where am I??" then she realized that Syaoran was carrying her. "GAAH!!!" and jumped out of his arms. "Umm… thanks for carrying me ^-^;; I was just surprised.. Sorry. Thanks Sya-- Li" and before she knew what she was doing she went up and hugged him and kissed him… on the cheek [[ bwahahah!! :p ]] ' Wow… he gives me the same feeling that Hiryuu gave me…' she gasped 'Hiryuu! What am I doing!' and quickly let go blushing and mentally slapping herself, too busy with her thoughts to notice Syaoran blushing a five shades of blood reds. What they both didn't become aware of though was that Tomoyo was there with her camera whispering to herself "kawaii…"
As Tomoyo stood there recording the incident she felt an ache that pierced her heart. She, Tomoyo Daidojii, was finally, for the first time, feeling lonely. Tears started to well up in her eyes.
"Tomoyo? Are you okay?" asked Cero.
"Hai…" she gave him a reassuring smile and wiped her tears away and the smiling face of Eriol came to her mind for a brief moment. 'why…' but she quickly shook it off. "SAKURA! Li!! COME ON!!!" and Sakura and Syaoran ran and caught up with her.
"Tomoyo!! She ran up and hugged her friend remembering how Tomoyo was so worried about her when the illusion card was trying to drown her. "I'm so sorry that I worried you back there!!"
"That's okay as long as your okay!" and the two started chatting as if nothing even happened, while Syaoron was walking beside Sakura.
¤ in the castle ¤
"Where have you guys been?!?!!" Eriol shouted with a worried look on his face looking at…Tomoyo. She blushed and looked away.
"We felt the prescience of the clow card and…" Sakura started to begin the story but was cut of by Tomoyo saying, "I caught it ALL on tape!! *-* HOHOHOHO!!! It was so KAWAIII!!!!!!!" and rushed over to show Eriol. Sakura and Syaoron stared after them sweat dropping. Then five minuets later out of no where Cero shouted, "I'M HUNGRY!!!!!!!"
"I'll call the cook to make us something to eat" said Syaoron.
"No that's okay! I feel like cooking especially since its for Cero!" then she mumbled to Syaoran, "He can be picky sometimes and I don't want the cooks and such to see a 'doll' eating."
Syaoron just nodded and went to the kitchens to tell all the cooks and maids to take a break.
Sakura was starting to walk towards Tomoyo and Eriol because they had funny looks on their faces sort of like this : 0.0 . 0.0. [[yaw noe…big eyes and then they blink]]
"What are you guys looking at?" Sakura asked getting curious.
"HOHOHOHO!!! Nothing!!!" and quickly snapped the camera shut before she could take a peek.
Sakura looked at Tomoyo suspiciously. "What are you hiding?!?!"
"KITCHEN'S CLEAR!!" shouted Syaoron. Sakura looked at Tomoyo one last time and went to the kitchens.
'*PHEW* that was close' thought Tomoyo.
"That was close…" she heard Eriol say and looked up at him. Then Tomoyo got one of her 'bright' ideas. "Lets find a way to get Syaoron and Sakura together!!! They look so kawaii together!!!"
"….I dunnnno….." Eriol replied shakily not wanting her to find out about the bet, but saw the disappointed look on Tomoyo's face so he added quickly, "Why I never thought of that!!" and Tomoyo put on a bright smile. They sat on the table and started making plans.
Sakura and Syaoron came out with plates and passed them around.
"WOOOW! Syaoran as my personal butler. I never thought this day would come!" Eriol joked watching Syaoron's face go red with anger. Sakura chuckled and smiled at Syaoron, his face was still red but this time from embarrassment.
They all started eating.
"This food is great Sakura!!" Eriol complimented putting their past behind him.
"Thank you Hiragizawa!," deciding to put the past behind as well since she believed that everyone deserved a second chance, "Syaoron helped me too! I never knew he was such a good cook!" Tomoyo raised her eyebrows at the Sakura with a 'why-did-you-call-him-by-his-first-name' look and then looked at Syaoron going silly with embarrassment.
"HUH? Syaoron can't--owwww!!" Tomoyo jammed her elbows to his ribs and everyone stared at Eriol… except for Cero since he was too busy eating.
"I WANT MORE!!!!!!!" Cero whined like a little child.
"But Cero--" Sakura started.
" I SAID I WANT MORRRE!!!!!" Cero yelled.
"WHHY YOOU--" Syaoron was starting to stand and yell with anger when he was cut off by Sakura saying slyly, "Don't you want to have room for DESERT? But if you want I guess you can skip the chocolate pudding and strawberry cake…" she said pretending to be sad.
"NOOOO!!! I'm don't want anymore!! When will we get desert?!" Cero immediately demanded.
"Why! Now!!" Sakura said cheerfully and jumped up from her chair to get everyone dessert.
"I'll go help her!" Tomoyo said and rushed off not wanting to be alone with a mad Syaoron but mostly because she didn't want to be near Eriol much longer. Whenever he 'accidentally' [[*coff* accidentally *coff* *wink wink*]] brushed his knee against hers or bump into her she felt herself get all fluttery. [[yea I noe I'm hurrying with the whole Eriol and Tomoyo thing but yea I'm rushing myself cuz I just had a new inspiration on how Hiryuu comes back ^-^]]
"Why do you treat Sakura like that?!!" Syaoron shouted at Cero.
Eriol noticed that Tomoyo left her camera behind and turned it on taping everything since Syaoron was too 'busy' to notice.
"Why do you care LITTLE BOY?" Cero shouted putting emphasis on little boy.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!! I'M NOT A LITTLE BOY!! And… I don't care… I was.. Just asking…" Syaoron ended all red and sat back down. Eriol clicked off the camera just when Sakura and Tomoyo came back with desserts.
=|[ ¤ one month later ¤ ]|=
Sakura and Syaoron became friends and Syaoron would constantly remember the bet and would shake it off…or try to. Syaoron was falling for Sakura but wasn't sure if his feelings were returned especially since Hiryuu was still in the picture. When he talked to her she would sometimes mention him and have this really happy yet sad face on.
Later on that night he was in his room with Eriol staying up and just talking [[yea how girly! LOL]] and the subject of girls came up.
"What do you think about Tomoyo Syaoron?" Eriol asked out of the blue.
"Tomoyo? Huh? What is there to think about her? She's so prissy, and girly and…" Syaoron saw Eriol glare at him, "And she's pretty, and nice and… just your type! In fact! I think she likes you!" Eriol's face brightened.
"Really!?"
"No… I was just saying that so you wouldn't kill me." Syaoron smirked while Eriol glowered.
"What about you and Sakura huh?!"
Syaoron became as red as a tomato. "Wh-what about Sakura?"
"Oh! So its not Kinomoto now?" Eriol had an evil smile.
"What!? What are you trying to say?!" Syaoron was still red but this time from both anger and embarrassment.
"Okay! Lets go play spy!" Eriol said after he heard the clock ring 10:30. Tomoyo and Eriol came up with the bright idea that today Tomoyo would get Sakura to say she liked Syaoron and told him to be outside Sakura's room by 10:30.
¤ Sakura's room where she and Tomoyo are also up ¤
Tomoyo heard the clock ring and knew it was time but didn't go on the subject yet. She was waiting for the 'sign' to make sure Eriol was outside Sakura's door. She heard the musical knock of 'dun dun dun dun dun…dun dun' on the door and that was the sign.
"I wonder who that might be" asked Sakura as she got up to go open it but Tomoyo cut in quickly.
"It's just me! I was knocking on your cabinet! See!" and repeated the tune over on the wood.
"Oh.. Okay." and sat back down on the bed.
"So Sakura…what do you think about Syaoron?" Tomoyo inquired slyly.
"Sy-Syaoron??" she stuttered.
"YES SY-SYAORON!" Tomoyo said rolling her eyes.
"What about him?" Sakura tried to sound normal.
"Do you like him?"
"Of course I do!.."
Syaoron felt a bubble of hope. [[they are behind the door remember?]]
"As a friend!"
The bubble burst.
"But surely more than a friend!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Well what about you and Eriol?!? HUH?!?!" Sakura retorted, 'turning the tables'.
Tomoyo turned red knowing that Eriol was listening behind the door.
"I…"
*behind the door*
"okay! Lets go! I think that's enough!" Syaoron started to leave.
"NO! NO! Listen!! We're almost to the good part!!" Eriol pulled Syaoron back down and accidentally twisted the door knob he was holding…
*back to Sakrua and Tomoyo*
"FINE!" shouted Sakura. "We'll both tell on the count of three!"
"OKAY!"
"ONE" they both started to count in unison.
*Syaoron punched Eriol for pulling him down and they started to fall…*
"TWO!"
*they whamed into the door*
"THR--"
"AHHHHHH!!!!" and they both fell down to the floor in front of Tomoyo and Sakura's feet.
"WHAT?!" Tomoyo screamed.
"EH?!!?!" Shouted Sakura with a little anger blazing in her eyes.
"hehehe… hi Tomoyo! Hello Sakura!--" Eriol started but quickly stopped when he saw Sakura's glare.
"Ow… you baka! Look what you did!" Syaoron shouted.
"SO THIS WAS YOUR IDEA?!!" Sakura barked.
"NO! IT WAS THIS BAKA'S IDEA!!!" Syaoron barked back and pointed to Eriol.
Everyone started to argue at once then Sakura yelled "STOOP!!!!!!!" and everyone was quiet.
"We only heard 'on the count of three' and then Syoaron pushed me and we both fell!" Eriol said.
Sakura looked at them suspiciously and finally gave in. They all went back to bed after the crazy.
