A.N.: I'm not putting another disclaimer on the other chapters from this one on because they hurt me too much: I LITTERALLY feel my heart being plucked out of my body, and it DOES hurt! I've put it on the first already, pretend it's here too or look at chapter 1 if you HAVE the urge to view a disclaimer. Sorry about that to those who are strict about it, but I don't like pain.
The word "study" and its variables appear a lot in this chapter, maybe because that's what I've been doing a lot lately, so I might have unsuspectingly inserted that on my fic ;p
:JAPANESE DICTIONARY for this chapter (2 - The Study)
Gomen (ne) - I'm sorry
Nani - what
Hai - yes
Daijoubu - alright (as in "Are you alright?" or "I'm alright/OK.")
If anything's missing here, please inform me!!!
THE LI GUARDIANS
Chapter 2 - THE STUDY
Having just said their goodbyes to Tomoyo, whose bodyguards came to pick her up at the school building, Sakura and Syaoran walked side by side, in silence, the latter accompanying her back home. The atmosphere remained like that until he called out her name.
"Sakura?"
To that, she turned to him, a demanding look on her face. "Nani? Are you finally going to explain now what was that all about? Why did you kiss them if you've never kissed me, your own girlfriend?!" She practically yelled at him.
He was particularly surprised: not only had she shouted at him, she had also, although indirectly, accused him of betrayal. In answer, he smiled sweetly, though a little hurt, and as he predicted, her anger died down. Noticing this, he voiced his reply.
"First of all, I did not kiss them, it was the other way around, and there's a huge difference between the two situations; I can't explain anything because I know no much more than you do; third, I don't want to push you or anything, and that is the reason why I never dared to do more than hug you; and finally." Syaoran said, taking a breath before he contiued. "We have exams 2 weeks from now and I wanted to know if you'd like to go to my apartment on Friday after school to study for them?" He eyed her questioningly, a hopeful expression imprinted on his perfect face.
Sakura looked down, suddenly very ashamed of herself, a red hue spreading on her cheeks. "Gomen, gomen ne, Syaoran-kun, I was out of myself. If it's OK, I'll come Friday after school to your apartment, ii desu ka (is it alright)?" She asked.
The amber-eyed teen put a hand on his girlfriend's shoulder and pulled her closer to himself and kissed her forehead. "Of course. I'll be waiting anxiously for these four days to go by."
Considering they were all in the same class, it was inevitable, of course, that they would have more encounters with the Chinese couple during the week, especially when Syaoran fainted twice; once on Wednesday, another on Thursday. On this second one, while still recovering as he sat on the floor, arms on both sides supporting his body, he concluded it had happened because he had been studying until late and hadn't been eating very well due to a recent lack of appetite. At this, everyone looked at him in surprise: since Monday they had all commented to him he'd gotten paler, but instead of taking care of himself, Syaoran had been studying. All the girls around him, who had tried to help when he fainted in the middle of the hallway, coming back from recess, tried to hug the boy, but all were shooed by Suuki and Yami, who didn't leave Syaoran's side until he promised he would eat a good dinner. and they only stayed a few meters apart.
If anyone had looked closer at that moment, that person would see all the fuss both made over him had a larger sum of worry than normal as it's reason, and it could be seen in their eyes.
On Friday, Sakura and Tomoyo were with him at all times, Suuki and Yami close behind. He almost did faint again when getting up from his seat for recess, but he caught himself on time.
Sakura went with him to his apartment, both for worry and because they had decided it that way a week before. They chatted gaily {A.N.: I mean it in a good way!}, carefully avoiding certain matters.
When they arrived, a blushing Syaoran showed her a bathroom to shower and change her clothes, since she had asked for it on the way. He went to his to do the same.
Sakura finished first, quickly drying herself and putting on her attire: red underwear and frilly skirt, black tank top with the words "Love You" in sparkling gold glitter and a pair of red socks; her black shoes on the apartment's doorstep, as is the Japanese custom.
Putting her books on the living room table, she went to check on Syaoran, who should have already finished, but showed no signs of doing so. Her worries about his present health made her forget to knock and instead of a fainted boyfriend, what she found was herself gaping at a very breathtaking sight: Syaoran... {A.N.: Isn't that enough?} with only a towel wrapped from his waist to a little above his knees; having just come out of the bathroom, his hair was still a little more messed up than usual, clinging to his face; his muscular arms clearly visible to her from the profile position he had unknowingly assumed to her point of view, reaching in his closet for the chosen clothes he'd picked {A.N.: Syaoran-sama, I'm drooling just thinking about it, imagine her who actually gets to see it for real, in live broadcast :p I'm being too nice to that girl, it's unfair!}.
Sakura discovered her body was not attending her commands, and so when he realized she was there, the girl was at a lost for words and actions.
"Sakura!"
His surprised yell seemed to release her of whatever binding spell she was under, so bowing in apology, she hid her seriously blushing face and rushed out of the room to the kitchen, leaving an even more seriously blushing boy behind.
She hadn't asked, and even if she had, he wouldn't really say the truth, but the reason why he had taken so long was because his weak body would not function in its normal time period.
Syaoran came out 7 minutes later all dried up, hair as combed as it would stay; which wasn't much; white socks, a forest green sleeveless shirt with the words "Dragon Boy" in white and black shorts. He was about to go looking for his girlfriend in the kitchen, when she came out, still blushing a bit, carrying a tray with okonomyaki and orange juice. {A.N.: I it actually would go better if it were "Wolf Boy", but bear with that please.}
"You fainted twice this weak, Syaoran-kun, saying it was because of a lack of eating, so here you go!" She offered smiling.
"Sakura, I'm not really hungry; let's just study, OK?" He asked hopefully. The truth was he really wasn't hungry, but his body was obviously needing to digest something and Sakura, nowing the latter fact, made a puppy-like face to convince the boy. "I made this just for you, Syaoran-kun, you'll really let it go to waste like that?" She replied, coming closer to him as if to increase the effect of her currently begging expression.
It worked.
Syaoran sighed. "Alright, but we'll start studying right after, you hear?" He answered, a questioning glance on his face.
"Hai!"
So Syaoran ate while Sakura was staring lovingly at his face, sometimes taking a bite. Finishing, he looked at her and thanked the "Wonderful meal my girlfriend made for me" as he named it between laughs.
Sakura left the plates at the sink and headed the short Japanese style table, where Syaoran was waiting. As she sat on her heals, they began studying: first, physics, Syaoran's favorite and her least; then Biology, the girl's favorite. Halfway through (Japanese) grammar, which used to be the one he liked least, the clock struck 8pm.
"Oh! We've been studying 3 hours straight! I'll go get something to drink and some snacks." She informed as she stood up, but tripped on the mat, falling back down.
She would have crashed on the floor had Syaoran not dived beneath and caught her.
"Gomen ne, Syaoran-kun! Daijoubu?" She asked worried, raising her head a little.
"Aa, daijoubu yo." He replied, realizing their faces were extremely close, Sakura's a bit over Syaoran's.
They remained like that for some time, and it would have been longer if the girl, blushing as she also realized how close they were and completely aware of his hold on her small body, hadn't decided to take the first step, knowing he wouldn't do a thing unless she showed it was OK.
She touched her lips to his, closing her eyes as she captured them with hers. Because he didn't move, she thought he wasn't appreciating the gesture, so as she was pulling apart, ready to begin apologizing, his arms tightened their hug on her back to hold her still before one of them curved around her neck and the other was sliding its respective hand up to her cheek, bringing her face closer to his to deepen the kiss. Sakura could feel his built form against her small one as his firm arms returned to her back again, his strong yet soft lips caressing hers, his tongue gently exploring her mouth, then dancing with the girl's.
They parted, more for breath then for will. She opened her eyes, his was still closed. When he did open them, she drowned in once again in those oceans of amber. "Promise me, Syaoran-kun, promise me I'm your only one."
The Li heir looked at her, almost pitying the tone of voice with which she had asked that simple request, but it was with love and not any other emotion that he replied.
"You ARE the only one, Sakura, the only one I want."
His eyes dazzling more as each word was said. Syaoran rolled over her, swiftly but carefully, surprising the emerald-eyed girl. Looking at the one now under him with a steady stare, he lowered his face to hers.
"The only one." He whispered, right before he had her lips captured with his.

Next chapter - (at least so far it is titled) The Nightmare
A.N.: This was fun, and to me, ultimately kawaii. Drats, I'm killing myself with these "images" of my wonderful Syaoran-kun! Anyone noticed I'm Syaoran addicted? ;p
I just finished watching Chobits TV Episode 16 and it's so kawaii! The whole series is, actually. I recommend it! Well anyway, for anyone who can't review, or has problems with it, keep e-mailing!
Mata ne! Yomu shimashite arigatou gozaimashita yo! (Hopefully that means: "Until next time! Thanks for reading!")
