A/N:

For the questions concerning how Shaoran wasn't able to notice he was holding Sakura, Well, it was because his mind was preoccupied back there...the reason? Well, you'll soon find out.

I didn't write about it because it might spoil some surprises . Anyways, here's the next chapter.

Christmas Bash

Chapter 4: Searching and Shopping

After borrowing some jackets from Tomoyo's closet, Sakura and Shaoran then began to head to their destination, the mall.

"She could have asked Mei Li, you know." Shaoran told Sakura.

"I know that, Shaoran-kun." Sakura replied.

"Then why did you agree?" Shaoran asked.

"Well, the party's tomorrow right?" Sakura asked.

Shaoran nodded although he could not see the connection. "So?"

"Well, I haven't bought any presents yet since I was so busy helping Tomoyo." Sakura replied.

"Presents?" Shaoran wondered not voicing out his thought, "That's right, I haven't bought anything for Sakura-chan yet. I wonder what she would like for a present..."

Shaoran was then lost in his own thoughts as to what would be the perfect gift for Sakura that he did not notice that they were already in the front steps of the mall.

"Shaoran-kun, are you alright?" Sakura asked seeing the distant look on Shaoran's face.

"Eh? What?" Shaoran asked, "Oh, we're already here?"

"Yes." Sakura merely replied, "well, first thing's first, we better buy two dozens of pudding."

"R-right." Agreed Shaoran though still in his own world wondering what that perfect gift would be.

It took them a while to search for the pudding at the grocery section of the mall. They were lucky that Tomoyo gave them more than enough money to pay for the pudding for the pudding costs a hundred yen.

When they have already bought the pudding, the two exited the grocery section and sat themselves in the same bench that Tomoyo sat on when she was there.

"So, now where?" Shaoran asked.

"Hmmm..." Sakura replied thinking, "Shaoran-kun, have you bought the presents that you were suppose to give away?"

"Almost." Shaoran answered.

"Well, if that's the case..." Sakura stood up, "Why don't you come along with me and help me find a gift for the others...but you'll have to go on ahead to Tomoyo's house after I've searched for the perfect gift for them."

"Why?" Shaoran asked, "It's getting pretty dark outside, Sakura-chan."

"Well, I don't want you to take a peek on the gift that I am about to buy you." Sakura replied smiling.

"Alright then." Shaoran replied standing up as well, "So, who's gift are you going to search for first?"

"Let's see...how about Chiharu?" Sakura replied remembering one of her friends and classmate, Chiharu Mihara.

"Chiharu?" Shaoran asked, "Don't ask me what she likes, I don't have a clue."

Sakura nodded, then they began to stroll at the mall with Sakura looking from left to right at what she could possibly give to Chiharu.

It didn't take them too long, however. Several minutes after the two had decided to search for Chiharu's present, Sakura finally saw what she was searching for.

"Perfect." Muttered Sakura.

At that Sakura quickly walked towards the shop called Blue Ribbon. It was filled with different kinds of cute looking stuff toys. Sakura then saw a cute looking penguin on the far side of the shop, seeing that the price on the stuff penguin was low, and that she still has five thousand, seven hundred, ninety-nine yen on her wallet. She quickly took the penguin into the cashier and paid for it. She then returned to where Shaoran was standing searching from left to right.

"All done." Sakura told him.

"Boy, you're a fast shopper." Shaoran commented.

"It's easy when you know what that person likes, Shaoran-kun." Sakura replied giggling.

"Yeah." Shaoran thought, "But what do YOU like, Sakura-chan?"

After buying Chiharu's gift, Sakura and Shaoran then began to look for a gift for Rika. Knowing that Rika still loves western clothing, they immediately head off towards a sop called The Clothes Rack.

Shaoran once again stepped aside, seeing that there isn't anything he could do to help Sakura in searching for Rika's present. Like before, it didn't take Sakura long to buy Rika Sasaki a gift for the party tomorrow.

"Next one is for Naoko." Sakura told Shaoran who was waiting patiently.

"Naoko Yanagisawa?" Shaoran asked smiling, "I know a perfect gift you can give her."

Shaoran then with Sakura went inside the bookstore.

"Here." Shaoran gave Sakura a book.

"Ghost Stories." Sakura read, "perfect!"

Shaoran smilled.

"So you still remember Naoko's unbelievable fascination with ghosts." Sakura said.

"How could I forget?" Shaoran answered, "She put us in a lot of trouble because of her stories."

"I guess so." Replied Sakura as they walked towards the cashier to pay for the book.

After they had paid for Naoko's gift, they began to search for Takashi's gift.

"What are you going to give Yamazaki?" Shaoran asked.

"That's hard." Just then Sakura's eyes lit up, she then handed Shaoran all the things that she was carrying, save her purse, and dashed back inside the book store leaving Shaoran confused.

Several minutes later, Sakura returned carrying another book. Seeing that Shaoran was still confused she told him what it was.

"The Raguko story book." Sakura told him, "Takashi always wanted this."

"I see." Shaoran replied as she handed Sakura some of the things that she was carrying before, "So, who's next?"

"Dad." Sakura replied.

"So, what are you going to give him." Shaoran asked again.

"A new video game cartridge." Sakura replied.

At this Shaoran gawked, "Video game?!"

"Yeah. My dad likes to play too...well, a lot more to rival Kero-chan."

"Man, your dad's something." Shaoran replied as they walked towards the Video Game shop.

When they got there, Shaoran helped Sakura in what video game to give to her father, Sakura also decided to give a new cartridge to Kero-chan as well for his present instead of pudding.

After several minutes, Shaoran and Takuya emerged from the Video Game Shop. Their next stop would be the gift for Miss Mizuki.

At this Sakura and Shaoran immediately went to the nearest antique shop and bought her an ornamented vase. Eriol's gift was next, Sakura decided to buy Eriol things to help him in painting, remembering that Eriol loves to paint. Meiling's gift was up next. This time, Shaoran helped Sakura in choosing the gift for Meiling which happens to be a beautifully ornamented hairpin. Yukito and Toya had almost the same gift from Sakura which was a pair of sneakers. Yukito's was colred white with blue stripes while Toya's was colored blue with white stripes. Tomoyo's gift was easy for Sakura, she immediately checked how much money she had left and was surprised that it was still above four thousand yen.

"Perfect." Sakura muttered.

"So, what are you going to give Daidoji-san?" Shaoran asked.

"A video editor." Sakura simply replied as they went inside the appliance center of the mall.

Several more minutes and Sakura and Shaoran emerged from the store.

"Well, I'm going to go look for your gift now, Shaoran-kun." Sakura said smiling.

"What about all these stuff?" Shaoran asked, "You don't expect me to bring them back to Daidoji-san's house...they'll see what you have bought for them."

"Yeah...you're right." Sakura admitted, "well, I'll have to come back later then."

"Later?!" Exclaimed Shaoran, "Sakura-chan, have you got any idea what time it is already?"

"Well, how am I suppose to buy you a gift then?" Sakura asked.

"Well...I don't really mind not having any gift from you..." Shaoran replied.

"Nonsense." Sakura shoved the thought off, "I can't possibly have no gift for you this Christmas. So, we'll first go to my house to drop this all off and then we'll head to Tomoyo's house to give her the pudding."

Shaoran saw that he can't argue with Sakura any longer. So off they went to Sakura's house to drop all the presents that they have brought to her room.

Along the way, Sakura caught sight of a beautiful necklace. She then ran off towards the jewelry shop to look at that particular necklace. It was silver, with a star shaped pendant, the pendant was gold in color and has a small jewel embedded on the center of it, shinning brightly with the light of the shop.

"This is so beautiful." Sakura said.

Shaoran took a quick look at the pendant.

"How much is this?" Sakura asked the sales lady.

"Six thousand yen, miss." The lady replied.

"Six thousand?!" Sakura exclaimed as she placed the necklace back into it's little corner, "Why is it so expensive?"

"Miss, that's pure silver and gold...to tell you the truth it's price is still low compared to the other jewels here." The sales lady explained.

"Oh, well...I can always come back after I have saved enough money." Sakura said as she and Shaoran walked away from the shop and the necklace.

After that, Sakura walked with Shaoran to her house. It took them only a few minutes to drop the presents off in her room. Then she walked with Shaoran to Tomoyo's house where Shaoran fetched Meiling and Sakura fetched Kero-chan and dropped off the pudding.

"What took you guys so long?" Meiling asked.

"I had to buy a few other stuff..." Sakura replied.

"Really?" Meiling asked with a sly look on her face, "Are you sure you two didn't just go off in a date?"

Shaoran was a lot more redder than Sakura when Meiling said this.

"N-no...!" Shaoran replied brightly red in the face.

Meiling laughed, "So, Kinimoto-san, where are you going?"

"Back at the mall." Sakura replied, "I forgot to buy something."

"Well then," Meiling said as they reached a crossroad, "this is where we say good bye for now."

"Yeah." Kero-chan said, "Good riddance!"

Meiling upon hearing this, glared at Kero-chan. Kero-chan had to hide himself back into Sakura's pack before Meiling could smash him in the head.

"See you tomorrow at the party then." Sakura said.

"Right." Meiling replied, "Comeon Shaoran-kun let's go."

"Yeah..." Shaoran replied, then he faced Sakura and bid her "good night." And began to walk along side Meiling towards their old house while Sakura with Kero-chan still in her pocket made her way towards the mall as fast as she could to buy Shaoran his present.
