reminder:
Tomoyo was being dropped off from her special date. While walking through the halls, they held each other's hands while blushing. Both enjoyed the night they spent together.
They got to Tomoyo's front door to Sakura's and her's apartment and both stopped in front of it. Tomoyo smiled as he looked up at her date. They leaned towards each other and shared a special goodnight kiss. From then did Tomoyo know, she didn't need any more bachelors.
They broke from the kiss, and her date bent down to give her one last kiss on the forehead. Then he stepped back and smiled.
"Oyasumi, my lovely Tomoyo.""Oyasumi, my sweet 'gentleman'...."
*coughs* HINT HINT! =)
^^Chapter Four^^
:: Bachelor Number Two::
Tomoyo stood there as she watched him fade away down into the hall. She turned back to her door and inserted the key. Spinning it slowly, still swooning over how her date just went. Even just the thought of him, made her blush. She never really felt anything like it before. After opening the door and stepping in, she shut the door behind her and fell back on it. She slid down to the floor, gazing around her place.
She touched her heart, and felt it explode. This was totally new to her. But was it good? She sure thought so. She smiled, maybe one of the biggest smiles ever and whispered the name of the person who stole her heart, at first glance....
"Heiji-kun..."
(A/N: HAHAHA...You should've seen your face! LOL.... Geez i'm just joking...let's redo that part again...please. *walks away laughing*...)
She touched her heart, and felt it explode. This was totally new to her. But was it good? She sure thought so. She smiled, maybe one of the biggest smiles ever and whispered the name of the person who stole her heart, at first glance....
"Eriol-kun..."
(A/N: I hope your satisfied.... hehe...)
At this time, Sakura was already home. Tomoyo had came home later than she thought. Knowing how long Sakura and Syaoran talked, Tomoyo was really home late. Sakura was sound asleep in her bed, a smile crossing her face.
::*::
Few days later…Sakura yawned while walking to her car and slipping on her sunglasses. She was going to meet Syaoran before her next date. Tomoyo had left early, she guessed to go on a morning date. Or at least that's what the letter said. It was early, that's why she was meeting up with Syaoran. They were going to have breakfast together. And I must include, talk about final suggestions or adjustments to her date for tonight.
Everyone at Syaoran and Eriol's work thought it was a little weird that they were hanging out with their clients a whole lot. Syaoran had a clue about why Eriol was hanging around with Tomoyo, and not even taking any files of eligible bachelors. He ignored it and allowed Eriol to do as he wishes. Since Syaoran already had his mind on other things. Like Sakura. Even though she wasn't his, it didn't mean he wouldn't stop liking her. Or was it loving instead of liking? He had no clue.
Sakura stopped in front of Syaoran's apartment complex. She stopped the car and looked at herself in the mirror.
'Okay, I look fine…Okay. Geez, why am I so nervous? Wait since when was I nervous? It's just Syaoran. My new best friend. Breathe Sakura, make sure you breathe. WAIT… I'm not nervous' Sakura debated with herself in her head while she walked her way up to Syaoran and Eriol's apartment. Talking about Eriol, he left early too, for some unknown reason. (A/N: Yeah, unknown. * Laughs *)
She stood in front of his door and breathed deeply before knocking on the door. Seconds later after she knocked, the door flew open and there stood Syaoran in a towel and his hair-dripping wet. Sakura's only reaction…jaw dropped immediately.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan! Gomen, I had to take a quick shower and I guess you're early. Or I'm just running late." Syaoran said sweatdropping.
Sakura stood there dumbfounded. I mean if you saw Syaoran standing in a towel, with his hair dripping wet, what would you do? Exactly what I thought, act just like Sakura. Syaoran was sizzling. Sakura scanned over his body still gaping. His body was a nice tan color, and he was well built. With a six pack and all that good stuff. He had muscles, just not those huge big disgusting kinds. He was perfect.
"Oh-Oha-Ohayo." She managed to get out. Syaoran smiled like nothing was going on and invited her in.
"Oh come on in. I'll be ready soon. Just gotta change." He said while leaving her in the living room. He walked into the hallway acting like, him there in a towel didn't effect Sakura at all.
"Lord…you are truly a savior for bringing people like him into this world. Not only is he sweet and nice and has a great personality, you added a mighty fine body to go with that. And the cutest face too." She mumbled to herself.
"NO! I can't think that, he's my…my matchmaker. I can't, I can't." She let the words fade away in a bit of sadness. She knew that the real reason why she couldn't wasn't because he was her matchmaker. She was afraid of falling in love again. Especially after what happened with Akihiro. But then why was she going on dates? To make herself get over him. But still, why won't she just go out with Syaoran, to get over him.? She would feel like she was just using him, and Syaoran was too good of a friend to do that. She might admit that she would probably fall for someone like him, but she just couldn't. And she had no clue why.
"Okay, I'm ready." Syaoran said, while reappearing in the living room. Sakura stood in the same spot she has been in ever since he left to change. She looked up to see Syaoran wearing a lazy smile. His hair was messy like always. His eyes, gleaming with happiness. He was wearing a dark green zipper vest with a vanilla colored T-shirt under it, along with baggy khakis and nice black dress shoes. It was casual. It wasn't too dressy and it wasn't so messy. (A/N: Look I know how to rhyme! HAHAHA!) It was just perfect.
By now you would want to know what Sakura is wearing. Well she's casual just like Syaoran. She happened to be wearing wide leg khakis with a tight v-neck dark green top. It wasn't sleeveless, but it was close to her shoulders. Her shoes were nice black short heels. They were closed toe and matched really well with the outfit. It may look like they planned to wear those colors, or match. Which they kind of did.
"Well, shall we go? I'm getting hungry." Syaoran asked grabbing Sakura's jacket from the floor. She must have dropped it, some how. Sakura nodded and took her jacket from Syaoran. She was a little concerned on how she dropped it when she had no memory of doing so.
::*::
They decided to eat at the same restaurant they did awhile back, when they first met. It came their favorite place to eat, since they did serve some really good food. They both were seated in the same place as always, looking into the menus. It was the same thing all the time. They would find their table, get their menus, take 3 minutes to themselves looking into the menu, and then spend the rest of the time talking until the waiter comes.
"So are you ready for your date?" Syaoran asked as he put the menu down. Sakura put hers down as well and looked up at him smiling nervously.
"Yeah, I guess."
"Haha!" Syaoran suddenly realized something and started laughing. "What?"
"You're ordering the Daiiko's Special Noodle Soup."(A/N: Er…couldn't think of any other name.) He said slyly.
"How the…How did you know that?" Sakura asked shocked. They never discuss what they get until after they waiter comes and takes their order.
"Because for the last 4 times we've been here, we've been ordering the same thing." He said laughing. Sakura thought about that for a second and then totally agreed. While they looked at each other in surprise in how much they were alike, they waitress came along.
"Well, for it isn't my two new favorite people to serve. How is this lovely couple?" the waitress asked. As you can tell, it is the same waitress they had since the first time they were here. Both blush to her thinking them as a 'couple'.
"Ohayo Lei-san." They both say in unison. After recognizing that they both blushed again.
"And we're not going out." Syaoran said pointing at himself and then her. Lei frowned and looked ashamed.
"Shucks! You guys look so cute together! What are you guys anyways? Cousins?" Lei asked, biting on her pencil.
"We're like best friends." Sakura said smiling. Syaoran looked at her kind of shocked. 'Best friends? I didn't think I was that close to her. Tomoyo's known her all her life and she's a best friend, and I know her for about a few weeks and I'm already at that level. Wow!' Syaoran thought.
Lei nodded for awhile, taking in what she said. Then she took the pencil tip, the eraser part, out of her mouth and put the lead part to the small note pad.
"So what am I going to get you guys?" she asked ready to write.
"The Daiiko's Special Noodle Soup." Syaoran and Sakura both say in unison. They blush again while Lei wrote it down smiling.
"And what may you two like to drink?"
"Lemonade." They both say. They look at each other in disgust playfully.
"Man Sakura, just because you like me so much, it doesn't mean you have to get everything I do." Syaoran said sticking his tongue out. Sakura gasped while smiling.
"Ugh. Whatever. You wish, Li Syaoran." Sakura said in a stuck up attitude.
"Don't be jealous, Kinomoto Sakura." Syaoran said, while Lei laughed and walked away.
::*::
Later on at night…
Sakura looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled at what she saw. She was wearing a jean skirt that came to her knee, cut at the bottom, making it stringy. The bottom of the skirt was cut diagonally. It was strait like the other regular skirts. Her sweater was almost alike. It had a diagonal bottom. She wore a belt chan that fell to the left of her, just like how the sweater and the skirt's longer side is. She wore a light light tan sweater with it. And then wore baize boots that went half way up her shin. She put her hair into two messy pigtails, but it matched her outfit. Her make up was light as usual. She just wore a kind of tan color blush, with a light brown eye shadow. It was put on very light. And she also had kind of a light chocolate color of lip liquid. She smiled once more before taking her bag and walking into the living room.
DING DONGSakura put her bag down on the couch and glanced over at the time before reaching the door. It was 6:30pm. Syaoran was 15 minutes early. How she knew it was Syaoran, she made him promise to come see her before every date she would have. She pulled the door open and invited Syaoran in. "Wow! You look great!" Sakura blushed and smile shyly.
"Where's your roommate, Tomoyo?" Syaoran asked looking around.
"She's on a date. She never told me who though." Sakura answered thinking. Syaoran looked at her awhile and smiled.
"The gentleman has won his prize." Syaoran muttered to himself.
"What does that mean?" Sakura asked wondering. Syaoran didn't know she heard him.
"Um…It's just that my roommate, Eriol, he's out too. And well I think he's with Tomoyo, well since Eriol is her matchmaker. He hasn't even pulled any files out of any guys for her." He said calmly. Sakura tilted her head and smiled.
"You might be right. I just hope I find my perfect date soon." She said sighing.
"You'll have a wonderful time tonight. And if you don't, remember just call me." He said patting her shoulder lightly. Sakura thanked him and offered any snacks and drinks. He just went through her fridge and took out a pack of pudding. He found himself and plastic spoon and walked back over to Sakura.
"Chocolate pudding, Good." He said sheepishly. Sakura sweatdropped and got her bag and jacket.
"Come on, Syaoran. We have to go I don't want to be late for my date." She said while tugging on his jacket and pulling him out of the apartment.
::*::
Syaoran stopped his car right in front of where Sakura and her date would meet. He looked over to her and put on his best smile.
"Have fun!" He said as turned over to her.
"And remember, my cell will always be on, so don't hesitate to call me whenever. If you want me to pick you up. Then just call." He said explaining to her. Sakura nodded and smiled.
"Thanks so much, Syaoran! I'll talk to you later! Bye!" She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before stepping out of the car and closing the door behind her. Syaoran's smile remained until she was out of sight, before it just fell back into a frown.
"How long will I be like this?"
::*::
Sakura walked over to meet her date and smiled her best. She saw a man, sitting down nervously, holding a bouquet. Sakura smiled, he was nervous. Different from the first guy. She walked up to him, while he was looking down and stood there for a second.
"Are you Nitoni-san?" she asked. He looked up and gasped.
"Um…Yeah I-I-I'm Nitoni. Um…*ahem* you can call me Jiento. You, I, you must be Sa-Kinomoto-san." He said standing up. Sakura smiled, hoping he would ease up a bit.
"You can call me Sakura." Jiento smiled and suddenly held up the bouquet.
"Er…uh these are your-for you." Sakura took it and smiled.
"Thank you so much. These are beautiful. Thank you." Jiento not knowing what to do, bowed.
"Um…you're welcome!" Sakura blushed and took his hand.
"Shall we go?" She asked. Jiento's jaw dropped and he nodded idiotically. 'Aww he's so kawaii when he's nervous.' She thought.
(A/N: I really don't feel like explaining how the dinner went…so let's go on!)
"So where are we going to go now?"
"Actually, I want you to meet my cousin." Jiento said smiling. He pulled her into his car, since they didn't use a limo, and he drove her to some house.
"I live here with my cousin. His girlfriend might be over. But she's nice. I think you'll like them." He helped out of the car and into the house. When they stepped inside, Jiento started yelling out his cousin's name.
"Aki! Aki come out!" He yelled. Akihiro? No way…Can't be possible. Sakura thought. Suddenly this guy came out of no where, from behind them. Jiento turned around first and walked over to his cousin.
"Sakura…" Sakura turns around.
"I'd like you to meet my cousin, Waishen Akihiro." Akihiro looks up to see Sakura there gasping. And he suddenly gasps too.
"Aki, this is my date, Kinomoto Sakura."
(A/N: Nope…not ending it yet…so don't freak out.)
The two both stood there staring at each other. Jiento stood there smiling and everything.
"Aki-kun! Where are you?" Some girl came prancing in, in shorts and a skanky top. Sakura recognized her immediately.
"Oh my gawd, what is Sakura doing here? She's not crying back for you, is she? Bitch, leave Aki alone." Saki said standing in front of Akihiro and Jiento who was standing next to him.
"What?!? What are you talking about Saki? Sakura is my date!" Jiento yelled. Akihiro stood there still staring at Sakura. He then flashed a smile and stepped in front of Saki and Jiento. The two were arguing.
"Um Hey Sakura. Long time no see." He said flashing his fake smile. Sakura just backed away and didn't say anything.
"Aww, Sakura, the past is the past. Can't we get over it?" Akihiro asked taking another step towards her. He touched her arm, but she pulled back immediately.
"Don't touch me!" she screamed. It caused the other two to look at them.
"What happened?" Jiento asked. He was way confused. His cousin never told him what happened with him and Sakura.
"Your stupid cousin, cheated on me." Sakura spat. Jiento looked at Akihiro.
"You two went out?" he asked. Akihiro smiled and nodded.
"I'm sorry, Jiento. I can't see you, if you're living with him." Sakura stepping near the door. Akihiro pulled on her arm and pulled her close to him.
"Let go of me, you ass hole!" she yelled. She was about to slap him before Saki came up and pulled on her hair.
"Don't you dare touch my boyfriend!" Saki yelled. Sakura pulled away violently and glared at the both of them. And Jiento stood there in shock.
"You know what…" Sakura starts crying. She couldn't believe this was happening.
"I don't want to ever see your slutty self in front of me, or touching me ever again."
"Talk about SLUTTY!" Saki yelled back. And that blew the top for Sakura. She walked up to her and punched Saki right in the nose.
"Now let's see how attractive you think you are." Sakura said before leaving. She first turned to Jiento.
"I'm sorry. I had a wonderful time tonight, but I can't stand to be around him or her." She points at Akihiro and Saki. Then she turned around and ran out of the house, still crying. Damn you, Akihiro. Damn you! She thought.
She pulled out herself, while running down the sidewalks. She wanted to get away as fast as she can.
"Moshi?" The person on the other phone line answered.
"Syaoran. I…pick me up, onegai?" she said sobbing. She stopped in an alley and hid there crying.
"Where? Where are you?" he asked hesitantly. Sakura told her where she was and then hung up with him. She sat down crying her eyes out, waiting for him to come. Why are all my dates turning our bad? Sakura asked herself.
"Sakura?" Sakura stopped for a second scared. That wasn't Syaoran's voice. And she knew exactly who that was. She decided to not say anything and just let it be. But he got closer and closer. She stood up and started to run. But an arm grabbed her.
"Sakura! Listen to me!"
"No! Let go of me, Akihiro! LET GO!" She screamed, she pulled out of his grasp and started running. But only after a few steps, did she run into somebody. She pulled away, but he grabbed her again and hugged her close. She started struggling and trying to break loose.
"Sakura, Sakura…Sakura-chan. Stop. Stop! STOP IT! It's me Syaoran! Calm down." Once she heard that name, she suddenly wrapped her arms around him and hugged him close.
"Syaoran!" She cried. She was so scared. She trembled and her legs gave up. Syaoran fell to the floor with her.
"Sakura, it's okay. It's okay. Calm down." But she cried even harder.
"Who the hell are you?" Akihiro asked. He was standing there the whole time. Syaoran looked up, still holding on to Sakura and frowned.
"Who are you?" Syaoran asked back. Akihiro stepped up to him, while Sakura started to shake violently. Like she was scared, which she was.
"Waishen. Waishen Akihiro."
