I'm back with my fifth chapter! Sorry for the long update, it's just that the teachers are cramping all the exams, finals, homework and projects in the last two weeks of school that we have! It gets frustrating and stressing after a while when you try to finish all the work but barely have anytime to do so with other things keeping you busy all the time!
Amway, summer vacation is coming soon and I promise you that once it's here, I will get much more time to work on this fic and I will be updating much more often. I'm only going to start driving school this summer and get a job, but don't worry, it won't keep me to busy! I'll manage! My chapter will also hopefully get longer as well.
Well, I guess I shouldn't keep you waiting. Go ahead and start reading.
Hope you like this chapter, and remember, R+R!!

"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.

My Sakura
By DaShyGurl
Chapter Four:
~*~Spending More Quality Time~*~
***Sakura's Room***
A head came out of the covers and emerald eyes started to appear as a young female started to open her eyes groggily. She sniffed the air a little and a content sigh escaped her lips. Sakura opened her eyes fully this time, smelling the good smelling smell of food.
Pancakes. That's what it smelled like. Pancakes, eggs and more. She threw the covers and got out of bed, stretching. She fixed her bed and looked at the drawer the Kero was suppose to be sleeping in. The drawer was opened, but Kero was not there. Instead, a note had been placed there. Sakura picked it up and right away noticed Kero's handwriting.
Morning Sakura,
Or Good afternoon, depending on when you wake up. I am guessing it is afternoon by now, knowing you. Hope you wake up to the smell of food. As much as I hate to admit it, that Chinese brat knows how to cook!! He made me some breakfast to eat before I leave to go to Eli's. It's 8 am by me now. What time is it by you? The kid is guessing that you will probably wake up sometime around 12:30 so he said he would start making breakfast for you and him at 12. I agree with him.
Sakura stopped reading and gave a quick glance at her clock. It read 12:28 AM.
'HAH! I got up before 12:30 AM! Geez, why do they know me so well?' Sakura though. 'That's so sweet of Li to make breakfast for us and Kero.' Sakura gave a small smile before she returned to the letter Kero left for her and continued reading.
By the time you read this, I will already be at Eli's. If that little kid bothers you, you tell me and I'll kick his butt for you. I'll miss you a lot!
Your friendly Guardian Beast of the Seal and friend,
Kero
Sakura smiled at the letter. She folded it and put it in one of her drawers that she used to keep anything Kero gives her, whether it's a present for a special occasion or no occasion, a letter or anything else. She loved all of Kero's cute presents that he always gave her.
A slight knock came from the door. Sakura looked just in time to see a head pop in.
"Sakura? Are you awa...ooh, you are awake. Good morning!" Li greeted her.
"Good morning, Li. Sorry, I was just reading the letter Kero left for me." Sakura replied.
"Oh. Are you hungry? I made breakfast." Li told her.
"Yeah, I am. Kero already mentioned that you are a great cook! He said you were going to make some. Smells good! What did you make?" Sakura asked.
Li gave her one of his rare smiles. "Pancakes, eggs, waffles and juice. That's it. Why? Do you want me to make you something else?"
"No, no, no! It all sounds great! Let me just go brush my teeth, wash my face and comb my hair really quickly. Then I'll come and join you for breakfast." Sakura answered.
"Alright. See you when you get downstairs." They both walked out of the room. Sakura headed to the bathroom, while Li went downstairs, patiently waiting for Sakura.
*~*Sakura's Point of View*~*
I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face. I combed my hair as quickly as possible. I gave myself one last look in the mirror, before approving and go downstairs. When I got there, Li was already sitting at a chair, waiting for me patiently.
"Oh, you didn't have to wait for me to start eating!" I told him quickly.
His reply was, "I wanted to wait, though."
'He is always so sweet.' I thought, a slight blush appearing.
"Great time for breakfast, huh?" He smiled at me and I giggled at his comment.
"Yup, it sure is!" We started to eat in silence, not knowing what to say to each other. I took a quick glance at him, and I noticed that he was blushing slightly. What his he thinking about? Or more like who?
"Are you getting a fever or are you just thinking of someone. I just know that it's a blush that I see." Sakura smiled. Li just blushed even more and the piece of pancake on his fork that was about to go in his mouth suddenly seemed more interesting.
"Uhh...I-I'm not th-thinking of anyone." He stuttered. I only smiled at his reply.
***Li's Point of View***
I was just thinking of how cute Sakura looked while she was eating. I must have blushed slightly, because what she said had surprised me a little.
"Are you getting a fever or are you just thinking of someone. I just know that it's a blush I see." Sakura said sweetly, smiling in the process. This only made me blush more.
I stuttered stupidly the only thing I can think of to say. "Uhh...I-I'm not th-thinking of anyone." She smiled a little more.
'God, is it just me or is it getting hot in here?' I thought. "Isn't it a little hot in here?" I asked.
"It's not hot here." Sakura said. "Mmmm! Li this is so good! Thanks for the breakfast. You always make such good tasting food!" I was relieved at the change of topic.
"Your welcome, Sakura. What do you want to do later today?"
"Oh, I was thinking maybe we could rent a movie to watch." Sakura said.
"Sounds great. We can go look for a movie to rent after we finish breakfast and wash the dishes." Li replied.
"Alright. Do you have any movies in mind?" Sakura asked.
"Uhh...well...I guess there is The Ring (a/n: This movie is kinda scary. You watch this video, and you finish watching it, someone knows you watched it. The phone rings and someone says "seven days" and then hangs up. Seven days later, you die by seeing something. During the seven days that you have, things happen to you), 13 Ghosts, The Tuxedo and Anger Management." Li told her.
"Eheheheheh...th-th-thirteen Gh-Ghosts and Th-the Ring? Aren't those scary?" Sakura asked, a little nervous about watching a movie about ghosts.
"Awwww they aren't that scary. Plus, its not like it's real. And I will be here by you, remember? The Tuxedo and Anger Management are supposed to be funny. We can watch those first if you want." Li said.
"Alright. Fine. But we get to watch A Walk to Remember first. I never saw that movie." Sakura said. Li nodded. As soon as they finished breakfast, the cleaned up and washed the dishes. Afterwards, they went upstairs and changed, since both of them had been in their night clothes.
Once that was done, they got outside and went to the Family Video in Li's car.
"When did you get this car, Li? I never saw it." Sakura asked him, clearly confused, on their way to the Family Video store to rent the movies.
"Oh, I went and got it today. My mom had called me on my cell phone today and told me that she got me this car so I can go anywhere without worrying about transportation. She had forgotten to mention it to me before I left Honk Kong." Li answered.
"Oh. That was very nice of your mother." Sakura said.
"Yeah...we're here." Li parked the car and both of them got out. They walked inside the store, looking for the movies. Once they found all of them, they went to pay and got back in the car. They made small conversations throughout the ride, until they got home. Once they got home, they both went upstairs to get changed again, knowing that all they will do is stay home watching movies and being lazy.
Sakura wore her gray shorts and pink tank top with cherry blossoms scattered all over. Li changed in a white shirt and green boxers. Sakura immediately blushed when she saw him.
"Sorry, it's just what I wear when I'm lazy. Want me to go change?" He asked her politely.
"No, no. It's OK. I don't mind. Let's just watch the first movie." Sakura said, blushing still.
He was about to pop in 13 Ghosts when a hand touched him. He looked at Sakura's hand on his and then at her, giving her a confused look.
"We agreed to watch A Walk to Remember first. Then The Tuxedo and then Anger management and _then_ 13 Ghosts. And we agreed to watch The Ring tomorrow. Remember?" Sakura told him. (a/n: I know, I know. But I can't think of any other movies at the moment and I wanted to choose to that would get Sakura scared. So I chose 13 Ghosts and The Ring knowing it has ghosts in it).
"Oh yeah. Heheh! Sorry, I forgot." He put the tape of Thirteen Ghosts away and took put in A Walk to Remember. Both sat back on the couch and watched the movie.
Tears were coming out of Sakura's eyes when the movie finished. "That *sniff* was so *sniff sniff* sad!"
"Yeah." Li agreed. "But at least I'm not crying." Sakura hit him lightly on his chest.
"That was so SAD! How can you not cry, you robot!" Sakura yelled.
"Robot!! I said it _sad_ and the only thing I didn't do was cry. Now you're calling me a robot?" Li said, tying to act like he was hurt.
"Yes. And don't pretend like your hurt by what I said. I know your acting it."
"Fine, Ms. I'm so emotional I cry at everything." Li said.
"Hey! At least I wasn't the one who kept squeezing my hand when a sad part came out!" Sakura answered.
"What? I only did that to reassure you because you were crying, obviously!" Li answered, smiling.
"Oh fine, Mr. Robot. Just go and put in the other movie already." Sakura said. Li did as he was told and put in the other movie.
Both had a great time laughing when watching The Tuxedo and Anger Management. After watching the Tuxedo, they both made "lunch" and ate. After that was done, they played a quick card game. Then they made some popcorn and stuffed it in their mouth as soon as they started to watch Anger Management. It was a funny movie and both enjoyed it. But, when it was time to watch Thirteen Ghosts, Sakura got a little scared.
"Why did you have to choose a movie with ghosts in it, Li? You know I hate Ghosts!" Sakura said, a little nervous.
"Don't worry, it's not _that_ scary." He pressed play and sat back on the couch. It didn't help that it was now nighttime and the lights were all off, making it dark.
"Oh suuurrre. That's just because you are not afraid of ghosts." Sakura said. Li just smiled at her. He moved closer to her and told her to get in front of him. Now, they were both lying on the couch with Sakura in front of Li and Li's arm around her waist. Both of them were blushing madly at how close they both were now.
During the whole movie, Sakura kept looking away every now and then. She held on Li's hand as if she would die if she let go. A few times she had turned and put her head against his chest so she won't see nothing. That made Li blush heavily every single time. Sakura might have regretted agreeing to rent and watch Thirteen Ghosts, but Li, on the other hand, doesn't seem to regret it that much anymore. He seems to be enjoying it, even though he felt sorry for having Sakura watch it since it's obviously scaring the shit out of her.
By the time the movie had ended, Sakura kept telling Li to never leave her alone tonight. Li sighed as he took Sakura's hand and took her to the kitchen.
"Let's go get Burger King for dinner, please. I don't want you making anything again, you already did enough." Sakura said.
"Alright. You want to come with me?" Li asked.
"YES!" Sakura yelled. Li smiled and laughed a little at her. "It's NOT funny, Li! Stop laughing." Sakura pouted a little.
"Come onnnn. Let's go get Burger King. I'll pay." Li said.
"NO! I'll pay. You already paid for the movies AND made breakfast and lunch. It's only fair and don't argue with me at all or else...or else...or else I will tell Tori that you made me angry and I know that that's enough to get Tori to get here and kill you! Sakura smiled in triumph. Of course, she wouldn't really do that. However, Li seemed to fall for it as he begged her not to call her brother.
"Please, no! Don't! I can't stand it when he glares at me and starts to chase me around saying that he will kill me! You'll pay this time, but next time I will."
"Alright. Thank God Burger King is open at 11:30 PM today." Sakura said.
"Yeah...let's leave now. I don't want to change and then change again when we get home afterwards." Li said. Sakura agreed. Both of them left to get Burger King. Once they got home, they started eating. Li got himself a Whopper and Sakura got herself a Chicken Sandwich. They got one large fries, in which both of them shared.
"Mmmmm....so yummy!" Sakura said.
"Yeah, but you know what? Eating before going to sleep gets you fat." Li said and Sakura laughed a little.
"Well, I don't do it often, so I don't have to worry!" Sakura giggled a little and Li laughed.
"I don't have to worry about you getting fat. You're so damn skinny! You can eat so much, but you don't gain anything. I don't know how you do it!" Li told her. Sakura giggled a little. They continued talking for a little bit, until both of them finished eating and cleaned up. They went upstairs where they brushed their teeth and washed their mouth and hands with soap and water. They both said their goodnights before going into their rooms.
***Li's room. Five Minutes Later***
Li was just lying there trying to sleep, when he heard a soft knock on the door.
"Come in, Sakura." He watched as Sakura came in and sat at the edge of the bed.
"Umm...I can't sleep. I just keep getting flashbacks of scenes in Thirteen Ghosts and now I can't sleep. I know I'm just being silly, but I'm scared. Can I please stay by you?" Sakura asked, her eyes pleading. Li right away blushed at the thought of having Sakura sleep by his side, but he nodded never the less.
Sakura sighed in relief and thanked Li. "Thanks a lot, Li. I hope I'm not bothering you."
"Not at all." Li made room for Sakura. Sakura got in under the covers and put her head on the pillow. She moved close to Li, her head close to his. Both of them were blushing, and they blushed more once Li put his arms around her protectively. Sakura and Li fell asleep in a matter of minutes, dreaming of sweet dreams about the other.
