Sorry, I hope I didn't take too long this time to update another chapter. I hope you like this one, I just finished writing it a while ago and thought I would edit it and post it up. Well, I don't think this is that much of a long chapter, but it isn't a short one either.
~*~Preview for Last Chapter~*~
"Sakura, what is he doing here?" Kero asked in anger.
"I'm visiting Sakura, what else, you stuffed animal." Kero was about to say something when Li pulled out something from his pocket. "Guess what I have?" Li smirked at Kero.
"Huh? Is that the newest Xylon Warriors game?" Kero asked in bewilderment. Li only nodded.
"You can have this and the second newest Xylon Warriors game that I sent to Eli ONLY if you promise to go to Eli's and try and beat both of the games there." Li told him.
Kero smiled. "DEAL! I will leave tonight." Li tossed Kero the game as Kero caught it. "OH YEAH!! You're the best!" Kero yelled in happiness as he flew back upstairs.
"I thought I was the best?" Sakura asked in confusion as Li and Aiden laughed. Aiden left to make breakfast, as Sakura took Li to Tori's old room for him to unpack. "I'll help you unpack Li. I have nothing else to do, anyways."
"Thanks, Sakura."

My Sakura

Chapter Four:
~*~Wow, You Certainly Have Changed...Physically~*~
***Tori's old room***
Li and Sakura had changed into comfortable home clothes and were unpacking Li's suitcase. Aiden had went to the kitchen, got out the ingredients he needed, went upstairs and changed into comfortable home clothes just as well, and then went back downstairs to make dinner.
As Sakura and Li were unpacking, Sakura couldn't stop looking over at Li and noticing how much has changed about him physically. It wasn't a bad thing! Oh no! It was more of a good thing, because he looked so much hotter to her. In Sakura's point of view and opinion, he was so much more muscular, sexier, taller, and handsome. The perfect way to describe him was tall, dark and handsome. Well, he seemed to have gotten a little tanner over the years. And damn! All those years of training he went through had paid off!!
'Dang it! Why does he have to be so cute? Now I can barely stop looking at him.' Sakura thought.
The two haven't really made any eye contact or talked much since they had started to unpack, not knowing what to say or anything. Yet, the silence wasn't that of a discomforting and uncomfortable kind. It was a nice and serene and of silence. No words were really needed to be exchanged, even though the two seemed to want to think of something to strike up a conversation.
As Sakura was pulling out the next article of clothing, her eyes widened. It was his boxers! Green boxers! Sakura couldn't help but giggle out loud, a tiny blush tinted her cheeks.
Just then Li looked at her and the two made eye contact. He looked at what she was holding and giggling at and right away blushed furiously from embarrassment. "I-I-I t-think I w-will take th-th-that!" Li grabbed it and stuffed it into one of the drawers. He looked at the part of the suitcase that held all his boxers. It was on Sakura's side. He turned the suitcase so that the boxers would be on his side, looked at Sakura, still blushing, and told her, "I think I should do this one."
Sakura laughed at the way he behaved and nodded in agreement. "At least they were cute. I like the one with the wolves on it." Sakura told him, pointing to the white boxer with brown and gray wolves on it.
Li, who is already blushing furiously, blushed even more. He then realized that Sakura had been looking at him every now and then. He smiled at her, glad to find something he could use to change the subject, and in a teasing voice said, "Well, you have been looking at me every now and then. Is there something on me or am I just too cute to resist looking at?" Li laughed and Sakura couldn't help but laugh as well.
Without realizing it, Sakura thought out loud, "You sure have gotten cuter..." Then she shrugged at what she said as Li looked at her a little surprised by her reply. "Well, it's true!" She said again. 'What?! I'm only telling the truth!' Sakura thought while blushing a lot.
Li blushed _big_ time at her compliment. "Thanks...Thank God it's not something on me." Both laughed again. "You aren't so bad yourself. You changed a lot physically, too. You're taller, more beautiful, and seem to be a little stronger. I guess you aren't so weak physically anymore." He laughed at that, but blushed more, if possible.
"HEY!! I'll show you how much stronger I got!" With that, she ran to him and threw herself on top of him. At that moment, she took hold of his hands and made sure they she got a firm grip. She smiled in triumph at her success. Li stared at her.
"You have gotten stronger, but don't forget that I _too_ had gotten stronger." He easily moved, got his hands out of her firm grip, put them on her waist and pushed her off of him. Just as quickly as he had done this, all the while getting Sakura surprised at his quick and agile actions, he got himself position on top, with her on the bottom, having a firmer grip on her hands. Sakura pouted once she recovered.
"But that's not fair. You had been training way more than me and you weigh more than me and you are certainly much stronger than me." Sakura said. Li smiled.
"I know. That's my point."
"Well, then," Sakura began, "why don't you tell me about your life since we last saw till now and then I could tell you mine? That way we could get to know we each other more again."
"Sakura, Li, dinner is ready!" Aiden's voice was heard from downstairs.
"Sure, Sakura. That would be great. But how about we do this after we finish dinner and unpacking. I only have a few more things to unpack. We can talk about it before we go to sleep." Li suggested.
"Alright. Now, get off of me! I need to eat dinner, too!!" Sakura said. Li smiled and got off of her. He extended his hand towards Sakura, how took it happily, as he helped her get up. The two walked down stairs and to this kitchen, seeing Aiden had just finished setting up the table.
"Awww, right on time. Come on you two, sit down and let's eat dinner. After all, I will only being seeing you for a little bit. By the time you two wake up, and especially by the time _Sakura_ can wake up, I will be gone." Aiden said.
"Hey!! I don't sleep in _too_ much. Well, I mean...I do...but...not as much as when...um...never mind..." Sakura blushed a little from embarrassment as Li and Aiden laughed at her attempt to try and convince them that she wakes up early now.
"So, Li, how are your family back in Hong Kong?" Aiden asked.
"Oh, they are all great. They are all doing fine." Li answered.
"FOOD! I SMELL FOOD!! WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THERE WAS FOOD?!?" Kero's voice was right away heard.
"I didn't forget your food, Kero." Aiden said. "I thought you were busy playing video games, so I put yours right over there on the counter."
"OH YEAH!! FOOD! YOU'RE THE BEST, MR. AVALON!!" Kero yelled happily as he went over to the counter and started to eat his food, which was a lot.
"Geez, Kero. I thought I was the best. Anyone who gives you a new game you like or makes you food is the best." Sakura said.
"Mmmm...you're my..mmm...favorite...mmmmm.... Still.....this is SO good!...MMMMM..." Kero mumbled in between 'mmms.' Everyone at the table sweat dropped. They had a nice conversation throughout the rest of dinner. Finally, they were done. Kero had finished about five minutes ago.
"Well, dinner was great, Mr. Avalon. Thank you." Li complimented Aiden.
"Yeah, Dad! Food was great as always!" Sakura complimented, as well.
"Why, thank you, you two. I'm glad you liked it. Now if you would excuse me, I need to go and pack. Be a sweetie, and wash the dishes, Sakura." Aiden left the kitchen to go pack once Sakura nodded her head. She began to pick up plates from the table, and Li right away started to help her, as well.
"Oh no, it's OK, Li! You don't have to help. Don't worry about it!" Sakura told him
"No way, you are letting me stay over your house, so I have to do something. Plus, you shouldn't argue. I can be very stubborn when I want to be, so arguing will do nothing." Li told her, as he continued to help Sakura. Sakura sighed, knowing that Li can indeed be very stubborn.
"Geez, Li. Why do you have to be so stubborn?" Sakura pouted. Li only smiled and winked at her. They both started to do the dishes, Sakura washing them and Li drying them and then putting them in the basket thingy that hold the plates, spoons, cups, etc.
***Ten Minutes Later***
"Finally! We're done! Now let's go finish unpacking your stuff, Li, so then we can talk!" Sakura said excitedly, smiling. Li blushed. She had smiled at him a lot, and every time she smiles, he can't help but blush and smile back. They went up the stairs and into what is now Li's room.
"Alright. We should finish in about fifteen minutes." Li said.
As the two continued, they couldn't help thinking about the other and what the other was thinking this very moment. Like what Li had said, they finished in approximately fifteen minutes. Once they were finished, Sakura and Li sat on "Li's" bed and started to talk.
"OK," Sakura said, "first tell me about you story as to what has happened since we last met all the way till now and then I will share mine." Sakura told Li.
"Alright," Li began, "when I left Japan and got home in Honk Kong..." Li said his whole story and then Sakura said hers. It ended up taking a lot more time then they had thought it would have taken. In the end, after sharing each others stories, jokes, funny moments, best moments, worst moments, show pictures of each other of when they were thirteen, fourteen, fifteen and so on and talked about all of their embarrassing moments, they were already on the floor laughing for a long time and so much, that it even began to hurt.
"WOW!! That was fun, Li! We should do it again!" Sakura said, still laughing, but not as much and as hard. As their laughs subsided more and eventually stopped, they both took a breath.
"Yeah. We should _definitely_ do this again sometime. It was a lot of fun." Li smiled at her, as she smiled back again. He took a glance at the alarm clock and his eyes widened. "DAMN!! It's already 3:32 in the morning. We should go to sleep now." Li suggested.
"Yeah, we should. I missed you a lot you know..." Sakura said. She gave him a long and sweet hug and he returned it, whispering in her ears, "I missed you, too, Sakura. I am glad that I am back."
"Me, too." They continued to hug for about a minute, then let go and smiled at each other. "I guess we should sleep now, eh?
"Yup." Li replied.
"Goodnight, Li! Sweet dreams!" Sakura said as she began to leave to room.
"Goodnight!" Li replied. "And sweet dreams to you, too!" Li said. Sakura smiled at him and then closed the door behind her. She went to her room, were the TV in there was flashing the words "GAME OVER" over and over again and Kero on the floor sleeping. She slightly smiled at the scene, and her smile grew as she recalled the night's events with Li. She turned off the game and the TV and put Kero back in his little "bed" in the drawer. She then flicked the lights off, got in bed and put the covers on top of her. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep, dreaming of sweet dreams.
***Back in Li's room***
Li lay there in bed, staring at the ceiling for some time, smiling at what had happened tonight and how much they had talked. He hadn't thought that they would end up talking for hours and laughing so much. He doesn't remember the last time he had laughed so much. Heck, he hadn't even ever laughed this much and this hard! But one thing for sure, he had definitely enjoyed it and wouldn't mind doing it again. He closed his eyes as he slowly fell asleep. He also had sweet dreams tonight, like Sakura. Tomorrow would definitely be fun.
