Note: My first fanfic in two years. I always did original and now I have the guts to come back and do some fan fiction. I really miss it here. Yay, I'm back. Okay enjoy the Kawaii story!!
Sixteen year old Sakura Kinomoto had just finished washing the dishes to prepare dinner for her father and older brother (who was making a brief visit from the University). She was thrilled to see Touya, but at the same time, she knew that she would never go out afterwards to meet Syaoran at the movies. They occasionally did this when it came to Friday nights. But apparently their plans were going to be spoiled.
Not unless I do something about it, she thought determined.
She wiped her wet hands on the kitchen towel and moved over to tend to the stove. She was making Sukiyaki (Slices of beef and vegetables, with soy sauce and sugar), which was cooking in a semi large pot.
Why is that I still have to sneak out to see my boyfriend whenever my big brother is around? I'm sixteen years old, what's wrong with him?
She sighed and turned off the stove. She suddenly could hear her father's car and knew that she at least had to set the table.
She rushed about and placed three plates, chop sticks, and three glasses on the table. Then she untied her pink apron and placed it on the counter. She looked at her set up and smiled.
"This is perfect. I actually did it all by myself…"
"Mmm, Sakura this is good, you're a great cook," gushed her father as he placed more in his mouth. "I know you can cook, but I didn't know you could really cook."
Sakura smiled proudly. "I did it all for Touya and you. You both worked very hard over the summer and you deserve the best meal."
"Not too bad for a Kaiju like you," sneered Touya innocently. He saw his sister throw him an evil glare. He did nothing but chuckle. "Just kidding, this is great."
"You know what, I take that back, I did it for father." She shot back. Then she turned her attention to her father who was enjoying the meal. "Dad, can I go out tonight?"
"Tonight?"
"Hai."
"With Tomoyo?"
Sakura glanced quickly at her brother who was stuffing his face and then back at her father. She didn't want to say his name out loud in front of Touya. Touya would have a fit if he found out that his adorable little sister was going out on nightly outings with the person he hated the most. That was huge No-No.
"Uh…um…yeah with Tomoyo-chan if it's alright with you dad?"
"Of course it's alright."
Sakura sighed in relief. She hadn't notice that her brother was staring dead at her. His eyebrow was doing something funny. He didn't seem to buy Sakura's story.
"Nani?" asked Sakura.
"You know Sakura you told me the other day that Tomoyo was on vacation, she's back already? And besides that, you two do you're meetings during the daytime. Why so late?"
Sakura hesitated. "Well she's back and we don't have time during the day and…"
The house phone began to ring from upstairs. She shot up from her chair and ran out the kitchen. "I'll get it!"
Sakura grabbed the phone and made sure she was out of her brother's sight.
Does he always have radar that can tell that I'm lying?
"Konnichiwa."
"Konnichiwa Sakura."
Her face lit up once she recognized the voice. It was Syaoran.
"Thank goodness it's you. I'm so happy that you called. My older brother and my Dad had just returned. I'm afraid with Touya here he's not going to let me out the house because of you. Syaoran it's frustrating to know that I can't see you much when Touya's here. He'll never accept you in my life…."
"Sakura, don't sound upset…" he cut in only to be cut off by Sakura.
"Wakari-masen." (I don't understand)
He hinted some type of sadness in her voice.
"Me neither, but it isn't good for us to have him between the relationship. It's not right. It's not right when I HAVE to sneak to see my girlfriend every time her older brother visits. I don't want to do that anymore. You have to stand up to him." He paused to see if she wanted to say something, but there was silence at the end, He continued. "Do you love me?"
"Of course I love you, with all my heart."
"Then you have to do something. I can't bear to see you cry or be sad, or frustrated any longer. I don't want myself like that either. He doesn't understand that I want to be with you forever."
Sakura began to feel warm and fuzzy inside. They've been together since they were twelve years old and he still could say the sweetest things and mean every single word. He wanted to marry her, have a family with her, and stay with her till the day they died. He never wanted to let go. They loved each other truly, even if they were so young. There was some type of understanding between the two.
"Are we still on for tonight?" he asked softly.
She didn't want to say no. At this point she wanted to run away with him somewhere so they could be alone with no evil big brother to bother them.
She clutched the phone tightly. "Hai, I'm for it."
"At the movie theater?"
"Iie, at my house, in the back yard. I'll climb out my window, onto the roof and we can sneak out."
Syaoran seemed surprised by Sakura's boldness to even think like that. "Are you sure?"
She grinned and spoke in a quiet voice, "Anything for you…Syaoran."
He smiled and in the same tone responded, "Ii-desu."(O.K)
She leaned against the wall. "Love you."
"I love you too."
Click.
Sakura sighed. She could never stop her heart from beating so fast when it came to talking to him. He was practically everything to her, but Touya would never care to see it. She placed the phone to her chest and closed her eyes.
"I can't wait to see him."
"See who?"
"Hoooeeee!!" Sakura whirled around and saw her older brother towering over her smirking.
"T-Touya w-hat are you doing here?"
"Give me that phone." He went to grab it, but Sakura backed away.
"No ones on the phone now."
"Who was that?" he demanded.
"Tomoyo!"
"Ha, like I'm going to believe that lie? My little sister is going out with that annoying baka. Am I right?"
Sakura's face flushed, but then she shook her head. "He's not baka!"
"See? I am right. That entire 'I can't wait to see him' act. It WAS him on the phone. Why can't you ever be honest? Why did you lie?"
Sakura couldn't believe this. Touya had the nerve to ask her that question when he basically knew why.
She began to get mad. "I had to lie, because my older brother hates my boyfriend, that's why I had to lie. I can never go any where with him because you're so over protective."
"I'm never in you're way, it's just that you're always seeing him at night. You're sixteen years old and you know nothing of what that kid might be capable of. He probably wants to…you know…"
"Syaoran isn't like that…you don't even know him…like I do. I love him, you don't!" Sakura saw her father come between them.
"What's going on?"
At this point Sakura's eyes were welding up with tears.
"Sakura-chan, why are you crying?" Fujitaka lift his hand to brush her eyes, but she was already running up to her room.
The only way for me to be truly happy is for Touya to accept it all. I can never be free, if he could just resolve any hatred and accept Syaoran, thought Sakura as she searched her closet for a pretty outfit to wear.
She sniffled. Even if he's annoying at times, I do love him, but he needs to accept whom I love.
She picked out a light purple tank top, with little cute dolphins knitted on it, It came with a matching sweater and a jean skirt that was a couple of inched above her knees.
She headed to the washroom and cleansed herself, threw on her clothes, and redid her hair again, and made sure it was out flowing to her shoulders. She always wanted to look cute for Syaoran, of course.
At seven on the dot a small pebble was thrown against her window, which startled her. She ran to it, opened it and saw her knight in shining armor staring up at her grinning.
"Syaoran!" she cried and then scolded herself for being to loud. "I meant Syaoran," she said more quietly this time.
He chuckled at her. "You ready to go?"
Sakura nodded and giddily ran to her bedroom door and cracked it open. She could hear her father and her brother cleaning up in the kitchen. She smiled.
After that she climbed out her window and onto her roof.
"Uh…Sakura I think you shouldn't do that, I mean you could fall." Syaoran said in worry.
She shut her window and turned around, almost slipping. "I-I'm okay! Catch me!"
"W-what?" His eyes widened. "Sakura no…!"
She made a run off the roof, like a mad girl and launched herself into Syaoran's arms, which were outstretched. (The roof isn't that high, don't worry)
Syaoran didn't know what hit him, all he felt was his girlfriend toppling him onto the grassy ground, squashing him in the process. They were face to face and she could see that her boyfriend was wincing in pain.
Sheepishly Sakura said, "Oai deki te ureshii desu." (I'm glad to see you)
Syaoran slightly grinned. Their faces were just an inch apart and they were in a compromising position.
Sakura noticed that he looked funny and saw how she was fully on top of him. She blushed and got off from him. He sat up.
"You're too cute, you know that?" he said rubbing his shoulder.
Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm so happy!" She moved in closer and their lips met in a sweet chaste kiss. Syaoran wrapped his arms around her to deepen it. It seemed like the perfect moment for them. Them underneath the stars, sneaking out, no one to bother them.
After what seemed long, Sakura broke apart and stared into his brown eyes.
"I can't believe I'm actually sneaking out of my own house." She giggled.
"We have no choice," he said and brushed his lips against hers again. "Come on before you're brother finds us here. He might kill me." He was ready to stand up, but Sakura wouldn't let him.
"Let him. I love you." She placed her lips back onto his. "I never want to let go." She mumbled.
Syaoran parted slightly. "My oh my, are we hungry for lust tonight…" he kissed her back and with his hands started to tickle her, making her fall onto the lawn laughing for him to stop.
"Stop, stop, okay…we can go now!" she laughed.
Syaoran stopped and stared at the beautiful cherry blossom that he would always love. She was so pretty at the moment. Her hair was a mess, her emerald green eyes were glistening from the moonlight glow, and her cheeks were flushed (from being so content). He just wanted her all to himself.
"Syaoran…" she began.
He also loved her sweet angelic voice that whispered his name. It was so pure.
Sakura couldn't help but be amazed by Syaoran herself. He was so handsome to her he looked down at her lovingly. She loved his dark chocolate colored hair, his entrancing brown eyes, his strong arms that always held her, his warm kisses. She loved him dearly.
"Who's out there?!"
"Hoe!" Sakura screeched and jumped up. Syaoran grabbed her hand and they both fled the yard. They knew it was Touya.
"What are we going to see?" asked Syaoran as they walked hand and hand down the sidewalk.
Sakura shook her head. "Do we have to see a movie?" she asked.
Syaoran furrowed his eyebrows. "Why? What's wrong?"
They stopped walking and Sakura faced him. "I want to…I just want to be alone with you that's all."
"You're really sad aren't you?" he asked quietly thinking in the back of his mind that Touya was in her thoughts.
Sakura slowly wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head against his firm chest. "Unh, about a lot of things…but you made me forget most of them. You don't make me sad Syaoran, you make me feel alive."
He gently placed a hand on her back. "You need to talk to Touya. He's making you miserable." He could feel her grip tighten. "He's a good brother I have to admit. He watches out for you and he doesn't want to see you get hurt."
Sakura automatically responded, "It's that, that gets me angry. You would never hurt me."
"I know that."
"So he's being too protective."
With his other hand he placed a hand on top of her chestnut brown hair. "Don't worry about it. Try and talk with him."
Sakura looked up at him. "Ii desu." She stood on her tippy toes to receive a kiss. Syaoran reacted and met her wish.
I won't let go, I won't cry anymore, Touya has to know that my love for Syaoran Li is for real and there is nothing he could do about it, She thought as a tear fell from one eye.
To be continued….
Sakura and Syaoran ditch going to see a movie and head over to his place…where trouble and crazy stuff begins. Touya gets paranoid…and so on…
