Michelle: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! This is my gift to you. May you have a pleasant day! ;p

"Hello? Syaoran? Yep, it's me Sakura. I left my jacket there the other day. I was just wondering if I could swing by and get it." Sakura asked Syaoran on the phone. She smiled.

"Cool! I'll be there in ten minutes."

"Bye." She placed the receiver back on the cradle and headed to their front door. She took out her roller blades and skated her to Syaoran's house.

Ding.. Dong..

Sakura rang the doorbell and skated around while waiting for someone to answer the door. Soon enough someone answered the door. A woman with long jet-black hair and beautiful eyes opened the door. She smiled at Sakura and led her to come in. She took of her roller blades and placed them near the door.

"You must be Syaoran's girlfriend Aiko." She said. Sakura shook her head and chuckled a bit.

"On the contrary actually miss, I'm Aiko's bestfriend and very close friend to Syaoran. My name's Sakura Kinomoto. " She replied briefly. The woman smiled.

"I'm very sorry, Sakura but you seemed my sons type." She explained. Sakura blushed.

"Really? Heehee. So you're Syaoran's mom. Mrs. Li I presume." She concluded as she walked towards the living room.

"Wow. You catch up pretty fast. Not like Syaoran's past girlfriends." She said laughing.

"Mrs. Li, I'm not his girlfriend." She repeated laughing. Mrs. Li nodded.

"I know but you can call me Yelan if you want." She said.

"Okay, so have you met Aiko?" She asked curiously. Yelan shook her head lightly.

"No, I haven't she doesn't come her at all. It's always Syaoran picking her up." She explained. Sakura nodded, understanding what she had said.

"Anyway, Mrs. Li I mean Yelan. What about, Syaoran's other ex-girlfriends?" She asked curiously again. Yelan showed a grin.

"You mean he hasn't told you yet? Well there was one girlfriend of his that got lost here and kept on calling me Syaoran's maid." She said laughing. Sakura joined the laughter and urged her to continue.

Syaoran's room

Syaoran's POV

I could here the laughter down stairs and it was obvious my mother was talking to Sakura, probably my exes again. Damn! I was currently looking for something to wear. 'Something suitable' I kept saying in my head. After a while I spotted my dark green shirt and a pair of baggy jeans. I quickly dressed up and looked at myself in the mirror.

'Since when did I care how I looked when a girl comes over?' He asked himself in his thoughts.

'Especially when it's just Sakura.' He continued to his thoughts. He smiled and exited his room.

Living Room

Normal POV

"Hey mom, what are you two talking about?" Syaoran asked as soon as he went downstairs and to the living room. There he saw his mother with a big smile and Sakura already crying from laughing. Syaoran frowned.

"Mom!" Syaoran yelled at Yelan. It was obvious that she had been telling Sakura, Syaoran's most embarrassing moments. Yelan smiled innocently at his son.

"I was just telling Sakura the things she needed to know when she's friends with you." She explained acting innocent. Sakura smiled at him. Syaoran stopped fuming and calmed down.

"Hey, chill Syaoran. She was only being nice." She defended. Syaoran nodded.

"Your jacket is upstairs and so is Aiko's stuff. They're all in my room. Do you want to come up to get them?" He politely asked Sakura. Sakura smiled.

"Okay. Come on." She said standing up. Yelan secretly smiled.

"Thanks for the company and information, Mrs. Li." She thanked. Yelan nodded.

"I told you to call me Yelan." She said politely. Sakura smiled nervously and chuckled a bit.

"Sorry!" She apologized. Syaoran and Sakura headed to the stairs. Sakura started running and paused.

"Race you!" She challenged. Syaoran grinned. They ran against each other towards Syaoran's room.

"There is something special going on those two. I just hope it doesn't stop there." Yelan said to herself smiling.

Syaoran's room

Sakura ran in the room first and started panting.

"I win!" She said between pants. Syaoran entered the room panting as well.

"Not fair! You got a head start!" He complained. Sakura smiled at him and soon they were both laughing. Sakura fell on the floor and closed her eyes. Syaoran sat on his bed and watched her.

"Don't you want to take of your hat?" He asked mischievously. Sakura frowned.

"NO!"

Then a small sound filled the room. Two small puppies climbed on top of Sakura's chest. Sakura felt ticklish and started to laugh. She opened her eyes and saw the cute puppies on her.

"Aww.. They're so cute!" Sakura giggled. She tossed and turned with the puppies. Syaoran smiled as he watched Sakura play with them. He stood up.

"I'll just get your jacket, okay?" He asked Sakura. She nodded but was preoccupied with the puppies. Syaoran went to the room connected to his and grabbed her jacket.

'She looked so cute' He thought. He smiled and shook his head.

"Cute? Since when did I use the word cute?" He asked himself. He spotted a pink jean jacket and brought it out. He headed to his room and raised the jacket.

"Here it is!" He said handing it to Sakura, who was now sitting up. Sakura smiled and thanked him.

"Whose puppies are these?" She asked him. Syaoran sat next to her and lifted one.

"Mine. Their mother just died and I offered to take care of them." He replied. Sakura didn't take her eyes of the puppies.

"Just like me." She said, giving him a sad smile. A confused look took over his face.

"I'm surprised Aiko hasn't told you yet. Well, when I was three, my mom died. Funny isn't it? At first I thought I was alone, but I had my brother and my father." She explained. Syaoran smiled.

"I'm not surprised why aren't alone." He commented. Sakura was lost in his eyes and so was Syaoran. They went closer until they were an inch away. But with the puppy still in the air, he did something to cause a distraction to the moment.

Pssss..

"Omigod!" Sakura exclaimed at the sight of the puppy pissing on Syaoran. Syaoran laughed. He stood up and brought the puppy along with him.

"We'll be back after a while." He said to Sakura, who was now laughing her head off. He headed to the bathroom.

'Damn! And we were so close to a kiss!' He cursed. Syaoran stared at himself in the mirror.

'What are you doing to me Sakura?' he thought as he gazed at his reflection.

That's it! Hope you liked it! I hope you really did! Puh-leees review! Bye
