*.::.*Preview of last chapter*.::.*

Sakura and Syaoran both changed into their nightclothes.

"Thanks for tonight, Syaoran. It was amazing." Sakura said, smiling cheerfully.

"No problem." Syaoran answered. 'Ok,' Syaoran thought to himself, 'it's now or never. Well, not never but later. But better now then later.' "Hey Sakura?"

"Yes? What is it?"

Syaoran blushed and looked down on the floor, finding his feet very interesting all the sudden. "Um," he looked up at her, "do you want to go out again sometime? In Hong Kong?"


Sakura smiled at him and answered, "I'd love to." Syaoran smiled back at her, feeling relieved at her answer.


"Great. Goodnight then."

"Goodnight, Syaoran."

Both went into their room and got under the covers, a smile lingering on each of their lips.

Chapter Ten:

*~*Asking Permission*~*

*.:.*Sakura's Point of View*.:.*

It's been three days since they date and everything seemed to be just fine and normal. Today, daddy is coming back and Eriol is going to be here as well. It seems like Eriol made sure to be at the airport the same time daddy will be there, so we don't have to make two trips to the airport in the same day. It was kind of confusing as to when they would be at the airport. We had so many calls from daddy yesterday, he kept on changing what time he will be home because his associates kept on calling him to stay longer because of "new" information they found. So, once the time changed, we had to call Eriol to let him know that the time changed and he should be here at a different time. I'm just glad Eriol is coming here in his private jet, or it would have been hard to keep changing flight tickets. But, thankfully, after about changing times 10 times, dad finally chose a final time. Both daddy and Eriol will be here at 2 in the afternoon. Right now, it's 1 P.M.

I took a quick glance across from me, where Syaoran was sitting. We're both sitting on floor, the table between us. We're playing this game called "cheat" with a deck of cards. Syaoran taught me it and it's a really great game.

(Read Me: Okay, if you haven't heard of this game, here is a brief explanation of how you play it, if you're interested. Basically it can be played by two or more people. What you do is pass out cards to each person, making sure each person has the same amount of cards. Any extras will be set down on the floor (or table) face down. You can't show your cards to anyone else (if there are more than 3 people playing, it's better to have use more then one deck of cards. The more people, the more cards you will need. It doesn't matter how much each person has, as long as each person has at LEAST 20 cards.) Now, the first person who throws down a card (the leader) says what "card number or picture" they have and put it on the floor/table face down. The thing is, no one can see that card you put face down. So, say you said that you put down a King. The next person has to put the same kind of card, a King. And so will the next person and the next. It keeps on going until all have are out of that card. Then the person who called that card puts another kind. The TRICK is, you can say it's a King that you put down, but really, it could be a TOTALLY different card. So, if you suspect someone is cheating, then you say cheat and flip their card over so everyone can see it. If it was really the card, then you pick up that card and all the other cards that have been thrown and the player that you suspected was cheating who wasn't, gets to be the leader, therefore choosing the cards him/herself. If, however, the person had indeed cheated, then the cheater takes all the cards on the floor/table and YOU the leader continue with the game. The first person to get rid of all of her/his cards, wins!

Okay, so it wasn't such a BRIEF explanation, but I putted as short as I can.)

"Ok, I'm out of 8's." Syaoran said.

*.::.*Normal Point of View*.::.*

Sakura looked at her cards. She didn't have any eights left either, but she really needed to cheat. Looking at Syaoran's cards and then at her cards, she could see that he had MUCH less cards then her. She picked up a 2 and said, "Eight. Okay, now I'm all out."

Syaoran looked at her as she tried avoiding his eyes. Syaoran smirked at her and said, "Cheat." He flipped the card and saw a 2 instead of an 8. "HAH! You're too easy to beat Sakura. I'm going to win for the fourth time and this IS the fourth game we are playing."

Sakura picked up all the cards and pouted. "But that's not fair, Syaoran. You can tell when I'm cheating. You said so yourself, I'm like an open book. You can tell when I cheat. And I can't tell when you cheat."

"Don't worry, Sakura. You'll get better, I promise." Syaoran said, trying to cheer her up. She smiled at him, which made him smile back. He had wanted to let her win on purpose to make her really happy, but she had made him promise to not do that, and he never, ever broke his promises to her.

"Dang it. I basically have the whole cards here by me. How many cards left do you have Syaoran?"

"Umm…" Syaoran counted his cards really quickly and smiled. "Only 15 cards." (A/N: Just so you know, they are playing with only one deck of cards). "OK, let's see now." Syaoran looked his cards and saw that he mostly had 5's. "Five." Syaoran said, putting the card face down on the table.

Both played for a while longer, till Syaoran had only three cards left. Syaoran took a look at the table and saw that it was FILLED with cards. He took a look at Sakura as she smiled nervously at him. "I can't believe you Sakura! How on earth did you cheat without me knowing???" Syaoran said surprised. 'How on earth did she cheat without me knowing? Oh no, she can't be getting good right now.' Syaoran thought.

"Um, eheheheheh! Guess I'm getting better." Sakura said.

"But not as good as me. I only have three cards left." Syaoran smirked at her, and Sakura just smiled back. "Well, I'm out of 10's. What about you?" Sakura told him that she was out of 10's already as well. Syaoran took a look at his cards and saw that he had two Queen and a 9. He put down the nine and said, "Nine."

Sakura put down a nine as well, seeing how she had one. Syaoran looked at her casually as he put down the Queen and said, "Nine." 'Better get rid of the Queen now then later' he thought.

Sakura looked at him. 'He is acting way too calm and casual.' She looked down at the card he put down and said, "You're cheating aren't you?"

Syaoran acted casual as he said, "Well, if you think I'm cheating, then why don't you say cheat?" 'This should throw her off.' "Does it look like I care whether or not you flip over the card or not?"

'He only has one card left. Dang it! Oh well, he has a card left and I have 11 left so why not take a chance and say cheat? I got nothing to lose anyway.'

Syaoran was surprised when she said cheat and flipped over the card, only to see a Queen instead of a 9. 'I thought I tricked her into not saying cheat!'

"Well, well, well. Looks like you've been caught mister." Sakura laughed cheerfully as she saw the shocked expression on his face as he picked up all the cards, which was a lot considering she only had 11 cards left. "Looks like I'm the only who is going to win this time! YAY!!"

"Don't put your hopes up to high, honey. I still have a chance to win." Syaoran said. Sakura only smiled at him. 'I am so going to win,' Sakura thought. 'All I have to do is make sure to not cheat and not say cheat, there is no way I can lose now and plus anyway, he has too many cards to try and loose right now.' Sakura smirked at Syaoran. Syaoran, on the other hand, didn't like what he saw.

"You have some kind of plan to win don't you? Well, let me tell you something. I have never lost playing this game. Never. I played it many times with my sisters and Meilin and a few other people and not once have I lost. I always win, no matter what." Syaoran told Sakura coolly.

"Well then, Mr. I Always Win, looks like this will be the first you'll loose at this game, and it's going to be to a girl! Hah!" Sakura replied. "Now, since I caught you cheating, I'm the leader and so I choose the next card to be put down."

"Bring it on, missy!" Syaoran replied. It only took about a matter of a few minutes until Syaoran lost for the first time on this game. "WHAT?!" Syaoran was shocked. Never in his life had he lost at this game. He thought he was the best there was. "But-I-and you-and I never-and, and…oh mannnn I can't believe I lost to a girl. And one that has only played this game FOUR times. How on earth did you win??" Syaoran whined.

Sakura laughed her head off hearing Syaoran whine for the first time. "You're such a sore loser, Syaoran. Of course I won! You can never underestimate the Card Mistress." Sakura said, still laughing.

"I don't find it funny. Plus anyway, you just won one game. I've won the other three. What's so funny?"

"YOU! AHAHAHAHAHA! I've never seen you whine so much and over a silly game! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Sakura laid sprawled on the floor laughing her head off, while holding her stomach that started to hurt after laughing so hard so much.

Syaoran smiled at her and blushed out of embarrassment. "I can't believe what I just did myself. I never, ever whine." He got up and walked over to her, as he helped her get up. Sakura's laughs finally died out, leaving her giggling for just a little bit more. "Don't tell anyone I've whined. It's embarrassing. Let's leave that between you and me." Sakura could only nod, trying to keep a straight face. But her face got serious as she noticed how close they were.

Syaoran, finally realizing how close his face was to hers, blushed slightly. He leaned in forward a little as Sakura did the same, getting the hint. Slowly, their faces inched up closer and closer, until their lips were only a millimeter apart. Both could feel the other's warm breath against their lips. Then, finally, in one sudden move, their lips touched in a sweet, soft and tantalizing kiss. Their first kiss each. Sakura hands went up his chest slowly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, while Syaoran's hand slid to her waist, bringing her closer to him. Their soft kiss turned into a passionate one, as both wanted more. Electricity seemed to go up their spines, as both felt excitement at the kiss they were sharing. Syaoran's tongue brushed across her lips, as if asking for permission. Sakura complied by letting him in, as their tongue's played with the other, each exploring a territory that's new to them.

Only when they ran out of air did they finally stop. Slowly, they pulled back enough to see the other. Amber stared into emerald, before both pairs of eyes closed and their lips met in yet another sweet, but passionate kiss. This one wasn't as long as the first kiss, seeing how they used so much of their oxygen on their first one that left them breathless, but both seemed satisfied enough. Both got what they had dreamed about for years, satisfying their desire.

"Wow." Sakura breathed. "That was amazing. Absolutely incredible." Syaoran could only nod at what she said. Both were still blushing slightly as they stared into the other.

After what had just happened between them, Syaoran finally managed enough courage and said, "I love you." Sakura's eyes widened at his confession, shocked beyond her imagination to hear the three words she had always wanted to hear coming from his lips. Syaoran, on the other hand, took her reaction the other way, thinking she wasn't ready to hear what he had to say this early already, that he had been went too fast for her.

Sakura looked at the hurt in Syaoran's eyes. She only smiled at him as she said, "I've been waiting so long to hear you say that." Seeing the confused look in his eyes, she said, "I love you, too, Syaoran. Ever since you left, all those years ago, I've loved you. I just didn't realize until you had already left, until it was too late to tell you."

Syaoran stared into her eyes lovingly. "I've loved you that long, too. I never said anything, afraid you wouldn't feel the same way and end up ruing the friendship I had with you. I didn't want to loose our friendship." Sakura smiled at the little confession he gave, as she leaned in for a quick kiss on the lips. Syaoran smiled back. Both felt so content and ecstatic at everything that seemed to happen in those last few minutes.

"I feel like I'm on cloud nine." Sakura giggled, as Syaoran smiled at her cheery face. Then her face turned serious as she asked, "Syaoran, what time is it?" Syaoran took a glance at his wrist watch and said,

"It's exactly 1:48 right now. Why?"

"Because dad and Eriol are going to be in the airport by 2 and Tomoyo is probably already there waiting for us since we said we'd be there 15 minutes early."

"Uh oh," Syaoran said finally realizing that they are going to be late if they didn't hurry up. "OK, we're both dressed just fine so go to the car already. I'm going to grab my keys really quick." Sakura nodded as she did what he said. Syaoran grabbed his keys and opened the door to get out, but ended up crashing into Sakura. He caught her just in time, before she fell on the floor.

"Sorry, Syaoran. But I just realized the I left the house without any shoes." Syaoran looked down at his feet and laughed nervously.

"I think I did the same thing as you." Syaoran confessed, which earned him a giggle from Sakura. Both slipped on their shoes and went into the car. "OK, Sakura. I'm going to go over the speed a little to get their on time." Sakura nodded, not thinking about it too much. After all, what could happen if they speed up just a little?

*.::.* At the airport *.::.*

"Never, ever will I let you speed. NEVER, Syaoran, NEVER! You hear me?" Sakura practically yelled.

"Eheheheh, um…I was only over the speed limit a little, Sakura." Syaoran said nervously. That earned him a glare from Sakura as they walked quickly to the airport. "OK, OK. So I was going about 65-70 miles an hour when the speed limit was mostly in a range of 35-40 miles an hour. But look at the bright side, no one got hurt since I'm so good at driving." That earned him yet another glare. Syaoran sighed, "Oh ok, I'm really sorry. I'll never speed again."

"Good." Sakura grabbed his hands and started to run. "Now we better get to Tomoyo quickly before we get late. We only have five minutes." Once they got there, they quickly let go of their hands. "Hi Tomoyo." Sakura said, totally out of breath. "Sorry we're late. We kinda lost track of time."

Tomoyo raised an eyebrow at the two. "What exactly made you loose track of time? I know you're usually late Sakura, but I thought it wouldn't happen this time since Syaoran is there." Tomoyo got really suspicious seeing the two look at each other and blush. "Ohohohohohoho! Something happened! I jut know something did."

Both we're saved when they heard someone say, "Hello everyone. Looks like Eriol and I were both on our way here. What a coincidence, eh? I just saw him when I was picking up my suitcase. Turns out he was coming here, too." All three turned around to see Mr. Kinomoto and Eriol. They must have been to caught up to notice them coming towards them.

"Daddy!" Sakura said cheerfully as she hugged him. "I missed you so much!" Mr. Kinomoto laughed at his energetic daughter as he hugged her back. "And I missed you too Eriol!" Sakura said as she hugged him, earning Eriol a glare from Syaoran.

"What's wrong cute little descendent? No 'hi' or anything?" Eriol said.

"Hi." Was all that Syaoran said. Mr. Kinomoto shook Syaoran's hand and gave Tomoyo a hug. Tomoyo hugged him back. "It's good to see you again, Tomoyo."

"It's good to see you too, Mr. Kinomoto."

"What is this? How come Sakura is the only one who seems really glad to see me today?" Eriol looked at Tomoyo, which made her blush. Sakura seeing this, grabbed Tomoyo and pushed her into Eriol.


"Come on, Tomoyo. Give Eriol a nice welcome back hug already." Sakura said, giggling at her best friend's shocked expression.


"I was just getting there Sakura. Sheesh! I missed you Eriol!" Tomoyo said as she hugged him tightly, then gave him a soft kiss on the lips.

"Well now, shall we all go home?" Mr. Kinomoto asked, which earned him a 'yeah' from everybody. "Great! Tomoyo and Eriol, why don't you join us. We'll all have lunch together while everyone explains to me all about this Hong Kong trip that Eriol mentioned, but wouldn't say much more saying that I should hear it from all of you."

Sakura smiled at her dad and said, "We'll explain then. But now, let's go home. You can take a shower while I make some lunch for all of us. How does spaghetti sound to all of you?" A bunch of "delicious" and "great" was heard. "Great! Then let's leave already.

*.::.* At home, on the table eating spaghetti *.::.*

Mr. Kinomoto looked around the table as he ate. It's been five minutes and so far, no one had said much. "Well, is anyone going to tell me about this Hong Kong trip or not?" He said, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that!" Sakura said, while everyone at the table sweat dropped. "Well daddy. You know how I've been trying to find a good college to go to?" When Fujitaka nodded, Sakura continued, "Well, Syaoran told me about the college in his Clan. He said it was the best college in all of China, right Syaoran?"

"Yeah, our Clan has a college and only those with magical abilities are accepted. The only time those who don't have magic in their blood are accepted is if they actually know about those who have magic, like Tomoyo."

"Anyway," Sakura began again, "when Syaoran told me all about it, it really interested me and I want to go there. He already told me all about it while you were gone and it sounds like a great college. So I thought I'd go to Hong Kong for college with Syaoran."

"Hmmm, I see." Fujitaka said.

"Oh yeah, it is indeed a good college." Eriol said. "Now I know that I don't need to go to college since I'm half the reincarnation of Clow Reed, but I called there already saying that I was going to visit them soon. The thing is, they offered me to stay there for college as well, saying it was a good idea and a great way to spend some more time with them. I got Tomoyo here convinced to come with me, too."

"Oh that's GREAT! Now we all will be in the same college!" Sakura exclaimed. Tomoyo and Eriol smiled at her enthusiasm, while Syaoran wasn't so sure he wanted Eriol to torment him there in Hong Kong.

"Well, I don't see why you shouldn't go to college there. It sounds like a wonderful college and I can always be sure that you're safe there with all of your friends. Plus, Syaoran's family will be there so I know there will be trusted adults there as well. When are you all leaving?" Fujitaka said.

At this question, Sakura lost her smile. "In four days. But if I go, then that would mean that I won't see you for a long time." Sakura said softly.

Fujitaka smiled at his only daughter and said, "Nonsense. I'm sure you will call me every week and write me a letter." At that, Sakura got back her smile and nodded. "Good, I'll make sure to write for you as well. I'll tell Touyo, too, so he can keep in touch with you."

"Thanks daddy. You're the best." Sakura gave him a hug. "So how do you all like my spaghetti?" Sakura asked, trying to make conversation.

*.::.* Night time, 12 A.M. *.::.* (I know, I know. I'm skipping through time a lot)

"Night Sweetie." Fujitaka said as he placed a soft kiss on his daughter's forehead. "Goodnight, Syaoran."

"Goodnight, daddy."


"Goodnight, sir."

Once Fujitaka went inside his room, Sakura and Syaoran were left in the hall alone. "Umm…goodnight I guess." Syaoran said as he turned to go to his room.

"Wait!" Syaoran turned around and looked at her. "Um, I had a question, Syaoran. It's about what happened earlier today." Both blushed remembering what they had shared earlier.

"What is it, Sakura?" Syaoran asked softly, looking into her eyes.

"I need to know if that what had happened earlier today means that we're ummm….you know, together. Like…if that makes me your girlfriend." Sakura said.

Syaoran blushed heavily looking at her. "If you want to be my girlfriend, then I have no problem with that. I don't mind at all. It's really up to you."

Sakura smiled and walked over to him and hugged him. "You know I love you right?" She asked him.

"Yeah, and I love you, too."

"Good, cause I would love more than anything to be your girlfriend." She said. Syaoran looked at her and smiled. Sakura thought her knees would have given out on her a long time ago if he wasn't holding her around the waist. She couldn't help but smile back at him.

"Good, because I love the fact that you're mine only." With that said, they shared a sweet and long kiss before breaking apart and looking at the other again.

"We should go to sleep now."

"Yeah. Goodnight, Sakura."

"Night, Syaoran." The kissed again real quick on the lips, before going their separate ways. A smile was on both of their lips the whole time as each got into their beds.

To Be Continued…
