~*~ The next day..

"Ohayo!" Sakura greeted as she went down the stairs to the dinning room. Their dad was already gone and Touya was sitting down eating his toast.

"Ohayo Kaijuu." He greeted back. Sakura got mad and stomped on his foot.

"ITAII!!" he yelled. Sakura smiled and grabbed a piece of toast and headed for the door.

"Itte Kimasu!"

"Where are you going Kaijuu?" Touya sternly asked before Sakura could leave.

"Syaoran's! Have to go! I'm already late!" She yelled while running. When Sakura was out of sight, Touya started thinking.

'Sakura, be careful. You might hurt someone.'

~*~ Syaoran's house...

"Little brother, how can you not fall for this girl???!!! She's so cute!!!!" Feimei yelled while pinching Sakura's cheek. When Sakura arrived a group of girls started pinching her and started screaming:

"KAWWAAAIII!!"

"Elp." A faint cry could be heard from Sakura. Syaoran knew it started to hurt her. Syaoran was red from embarrassment while he started making a path between his sisters to get Sakura.

"Stop it! You're hurting her!" He scolded. Syaoran took Sakura's hand and leaded her to his room. When they reached his room Sakura sat down and started breathing calmly.

"Arigato Syaoran-kun. I wouldn't know what I would have done if your sisters hadn't stopped pinching and screaming." She thanked while rubbing her sore cheeks.

"It was nothing. To tell the truth they really like you. They never did this to Aiko. Ever since you came here, they wouldn't stop bothering me. When I'm around all they talk about is you." He said smiling his rare smiles.

"What do they say about me?" She asked curiously still rubbing her cheeks. Syaoran turned red and started getting nervous.

"Well.. um. They. uh." he stuttered.

"They what?" Sakura urged him to continue.

"They said that.. You were.. Uh. perfect for me. and.. I should.. Uh.. Court.. You." he stuttered. Sakura turned red in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of shades. She felt something tingle inside her. (Syao-kun's sisters are right. Ne?)

'What am I feeling?' She asked herself. She smiled nervously hoping the tension in the room will rise.

"So.. Syao-kun, that's what Aiko calls you right?" She asked just to make sure. Syaoran frowned.

"I hate it when she calls me that." He commented. Sakura frowned too.

"Gomen Nasai. I promise, I won't call you that again." She replied. Syaoran shook his head and smiled

"No, it's okay. Sure, I hate it when AIKO calls me that but when it's you, it kinda sounds.. Uh. cute." He embarrassedly said. Sakura blushed again but smiled.

"So, Syao. Do you know bout later?" She asked him hoping to change the topic. Sakura was seated on his couch while Syaoran was fixed his stuff.

"Later? You mean Tomoyo's party?" He asked her without looking at Sakura. He was too busy rearranging his books at the moment.

"Yup. I can't wait!!!" She exclaimed. Syaoran looked up and smiled.

"Hmm. I was thinking.. Do you think Aiko would mind if I would pick you up for a party?" He asked.

"I don't think so." She replied.

"So, can I pick you up later for the party?" He hopefully asked her. Sakura's smile disappeared.

"Gomen Syaoran demo someone's already picking me up." She informed him. Syaoran frowned and looked down again.

"Oh. I see. Who?" He asked emotionless.

"Nobuo Maeda." She replied with stars in her eyes. Syaoran felt a tingle of jealousy but ignores it.

"Who the hell is he?" He asked again.

"Eriol's dashing friend." She told him. Syaoran felt the tingle of jealousy again but did the same.

"So. Is that why you came just to tell me?" He asked in an annoying tone. Sakura felt a bit hurt but ignored it. She smiled and shook her head.

"No, actually I called you awhile ago but one of your sisters told me that you were busy. They told me if I could come over instead. I said sure and I'm here hoping you would have an ice cream break with me." She explained with a smile. She knew Syaoran wouldn't say no.

'First he'll shrug and rub his head, then will say 'I don't know' then he'll look down and lastly say ok.' She thought in her head.

Syaoran shrugged and slowly rubbed his head.

"I don't know." He muttered. He looked down and thought for a while. He stood up and smiled a bit.

"Okay. Let's go." He said grabbing his jacket. Sakura smiled and giggled.

"You going?" Syaoran asked as he opened the door and held his hand out.

"You go first. I'll catch up." She replied smiling.

"Okay. Wait for you downstairs." He said before going out. When Syaoran was out of sight, Sakura punched her fist up in the air and danced the victory dance.

"I AM GOOD!" She praised herself.

"I'M LEAVING!!!" Syaoran yelled from downstairs. Sakura hurriedly got her body bag and rushed downstairs.

~*~ At the ice cream parlor..

"Mmm. That's good ice cream." Sakura commented after eating her strawberry ice cream. Syaoran who was watching her every move smirked.

"You and Aiko are so different." He said watching Sakura search for something in her bag.

"Well. You know Aiko." She replied, still searching her bag.

"What do you find so interesting in your bag?" Syaoran asked her curiously. Sakura smiled and pulled out an orange envelope.

"This is for you. Aiko gave it to me and told me to give it to you when we go spend time together." She said handing the envelope to Syaoran. Syaoran carefully accepted the envelope and kept it in the pocket of his jacket.

"Aren't you going to read it?" She asked him. Syaoran shook his head and smiled.

"Aiko's letters are quite hard to read. If she focused more on her penmanship rather than boys her handwriting wouldn't be so hard to read." He replied smiling.

'What I've noticed lately about Syao-kun is that he smiles so often. He wasn't like this before.. Wonder why.' She thought.

"To tell you the truth, you're Aiko's 19th boyfriend." She informed him smiling back. Syaoran laughed.

"How about you? How many boyfriends have you had?" He asked her curiously.

"Me? Well I.." She stuttered, looking away. Syaoran's smile grew bigger and turned into a grin.

"Whoa! None?! Wahahaha!" He said laughing. Sakura's face turned red and glared at Syaoran.

"MOU! It's not that of a big deal!!" She exclaimed. But this didn't make Syaoran stop laughing.

"FINE!" She exclaimed again standing up. She was about to leave when Syaoran's hand got hold of Sakura's hand. Sakura's eyes softened and felt a tingle in her body. She sat down again and glared at Syaoran.

"Well?"

"Gomen Sakura, it's just hard to picture you without a boyfriend while Aiko consistently changes boyfriends. And I bet Tomoyo has an Eriol." He explained. Sakura looked down.

"Well, it wasn't easy being the only girl without a boyfriend in our group of friends. Aiko would pass me her ex-boyfriends while Tomoyo would set me up with different guys." She informed him.

"But why don't you just get a boyfriend?" he asked her curiously. Sakura fidgeted in her seat as she tried to answer his question.

"I. I. don't know. I guess I just want to be with someone who understands me." She replied looking down.

"Oh.."

"You do know that Aiko's going to replace you in a couple of weeks." Sakura sheepishly asked. Syaoran leaned back on his chair.

"Yup, it was fun while it lasted." He replied. Sakura frowned.

"Do you love her?" She asked him with great curiosity. Syaoran looked down and looked for an answer. Syaoran couldn't answer the question so he stood up.

"Ready to go?" He asked her. Sakura knew that he didn't answer her question but she respected his unspoken reply. She stood up and smiled.

"Yes Sir!" She replied. Syaoran smiled back and together they left the ice cream parlor.

~*~ After Tomoyo's party...

(Sorry if I'm rushing it but couldn't think of anything to write ;p)

"Sakura, me and Shi are leaving. Want us to bring you home?" Nobuo asked Sakura. (SAY NO SAKURA!!!! Ahehehe ;p excuse me back to the story)

"No thanks Nobuo. I still have to help Tomoyo out." She replied. (WWOOOHOOO!)

"Ok. Bye then." He said before leaving.

When three teenagers and a couple of maids only occupied the Daidouji residence, the three together sat down on the couch.

"What a party. Thanks for helping out Li-kun." (Thought it was Eriol? Well, YOU'RE DEAD WRONG!! ;p)

"It's nothing." He replied. Sakura stood up from the sofa and stretched her arms.

"Why don't we start cleaning so we all could go home already?" Sakura suggested.

"Sounds good to me, let's start." Tomoyo said standing up as well. Syaoran stood up and started picking things up and dumped it in the trashcan. He went near Sakura's cleaning Sakura and started helping Sakura up.

"Trashcan please, Mr. King of the bin." Sakura said referring to Syaoran. Syaoran smiled and handed it to Sakura.

"Here you go, your majesty." He said bowing down. Sakura laughed and so did Syaoran. Syaoran walked towards the other side of the room while Sakura finished up on her side. When she was done she walked towards Syaoran to help him.

"Syao-kun!!!!" She called imitating Aiko. Syaoran turned around and laughed. Sakura kept on walking but an unnoticed piece of paper was in the way. Sakura slipped, fortunately Syaoran was able to catch her. Sakura opened her eyes and saw the floor. She let out a breath of relief out then looked up.

*Tomoyo's POV*

"Sakura-chan, are you finished?" She asked as she turned her head around. There she could see Sakura and Syaoran a breath away and red as tomatoes I might add. She smiled at the two.

"The perfect couple." She whispered before bringing out her camcorder.

"Ohohohoho. this will be the start of a beautiful relationship." She whispered as she filmed the two. (A/N: Couldn't write a fanfic without the cam. ;p)

*Sakura's POV*

Only a breath away. One small step and I could be kissing him. Placing my lips on his will be the most wonderful thing in the world right now. DAMN HE SMELLS GOOD!! Wait a minute; does this mean I love him? Funny right? I don't know how I feel. Maybe I'm just tired. But if feels good to be in his strong but gentle arms. Sigh.

*NORMAL POV*

"Thank you for catching me Syaoran-kun." Sakura said standing up. Syaoran slowly let go Sakura's waist and smiled.

"Anytime. I'll be happy to catch a falling angel." He commented. Sakura blushed in to million different shades but then smiled.

"Tomoyo, I'll be going now. It's already 11. Touya will kill me if I stay out too late." She said to Tomoyo.

"Ok, hold on I'll drive you home." She said cleaning her outfit. Sakura lightly shook her head, which made Tomoyo stop.

"It's ok Tomoyo. I'll walk. You mustn't waste gas." She protested. Tomoyo put a frown but nodded.

"But you might get hurt. It's dangerous to walk at night." She debated as well.

"Don't worry Tomoyo. I'll drive her home. Besides she's going my way." Syaoran offered. Tomoyo smiled and nodded.

"Well I guess you two better go. BYE!" She said pushing the two out of the door. When the two were gone Tomoyo started grinning and thinking.

'It's too bad I can't help them. They'll just have to find each other. Even though there are certain Aikos to pass.' She thought.

~*~ Syaoran's BMW driving down the highway...

*Yawn* Sakura yawned. It was obvious that she was sleepy and tired. Sakura placed her head on Syaoran's shoulder. She closed her eyes and started to doze off. Syaoran smiled and looked at Sakura's angelic face on his shoulder.

"You don't mind do you?" Sakura asked with her eyes closed.

"Not at all." He replied.

"Thanks."

"Better rest. It's a long ride." He said. When they reached Sakura's house Sakura was already completely asleep. Being the gentleman Syaoran is, he lifted her and carried her to the front door. He rang the doorbell and waited patiently. Touya answered the door and was quite calm at the sight of Syaoran carrying Sakura.

"Here." He said handing her to her brother.

"Thanks." He replied accepting Sakura in his arms.

"Sorry if it's already late. I tried my best to drive her home quickly." He said before leaving.

"Don't worry Kid. When I know he's with you, I know it's going to be alright." He said looking down Syaoran smiled a bit. Sakura slowly opened her eyes.

"Damn! She's awake! Sorry bout this but." He didn't continue. Sakura was fully awake now.

"Touya?" She asked the figure carrying her.

"GET AWAY GAKI!!!! GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER!!!" He acted and yelled. He waved his arms around.

WHAM!

Sakura hit the floor with her but on the bottom.

"ITAI!!! TOUYA!!!" She yelled at her older brother. When Touya waved his arms, Sakura hit the floor.

"Oops. Gomen Kaijuu." He said running inside. Sakura followed and closed the door. Syaoran was still outside leaning on his car chuckling. The door opened a bit and Sakura's head popped out.

"Arigato Syaoran-kun. Thanks. Have to go. I have a certain brother to kill. BYE!" She said before completely closing the door.

done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seven more chapters!!!!
