Her eyes quivered open as the sunlight from her window hit her face. She rolled over on her bed restlessly trying to escape the brightness of the sunrays. She pulled her blanket over her head and attempted going back into sleep, but was too late by the pounding on her door.

"Kaiju, wake up. I made breakfast!" yelled a familiar voice.

"Leave me alone," she groaned into her pillow. She needed sleep and she wanted sleep. All night she was making notes about where She and Syaoran would escape, how, and where they were going to sleep.

Touya left finally. She could hear his noisy footsteps go padding down the steps. That made her even more aggravated. She was ridiculously exhausted and her ears were still ringing from Touya yelling at her to wake up.

"Syaoran…" she mumbled.

Ten minutes later….

Syaoran gathered up all his pride, courage, (whatever) and lifted his finger timidly to ring the doorbell. He was hoping and praying that Touya wouldn't answer the door.

He had everything planned out and he had his car with him too, just in case Touya jumped out the door threatening to kill him with a butcher knife. He actually never ran away before and that morning he was trying desperately not to back down on doing it, for Sakura's sake.

It's not like we're running away AND getting married, He thought. We're just running away with Sakura's dad permission.

Syaoran waited for a while before the door opened and there stood Sakura still in her PJ's half asleep and half grumbling about her brother waking her up.

"Baka, Touya, Baka…" She rubbed her eyes and noticed that Syaoran was standing in front of her, dressed and ready to go. Unfortunately running away was the last thing on Sakura's mind.

"Sakura…uh…is your brother downstairs or what?" he asked nervously, looking pass her shoulders and over her head to make sure Touya wasn't spying on them.

Sakura shook her head no and then after a few seconds, she then realized why Syaoran was at her house so early in the morning.

"Hoe, I forgot!" she almost cried.

Syaoran winced and placed his finger against his lips. "Sshhhhh! Your brother."

Sakura whirled around thinking Touya was behind her; she was frightened out of her wits. She stumbled backwards and felt Syaoran place his hands on her shoulders to steady her.

"Sakura, its okay, he's not here…yet."

I forgot! Oh no! I have to get dressed, I-I have to pack up, I-I, She thought frantically.

"Syaoran, stay right there, I'll be right back."

The door closed, and Syaoran, who was kind of annoyed at Sakura's thoughtlessness, began to pace back and forth and then eventually he headed over to the car and leaned against it.

"Ohayo, big brother." Sakura said cheerfully as she approached him. "I'm going to brush my teeth now." (LIE #1)

Touya raised an eyebrow suspiciously. It was impossible for his little sister to be in a good mood after that rude awakening that he gave her twenty minutes ago. He threw the towel he was using over his shoulder and muttered, "Hmph."

Sakura laughed slightly. "I'm going to the store for dad, to get ingredients for tonight's meal and then over to my other friends house, and…"(Lie #2)

"And what? To that Gakki's house AGAIN?" (Kid)

"Iie! He's out of town today." (Lie #3) She lowered her eyes. "Why can't you give me a break for once and stop being so…over protective." She brushed pass him and into her room. Touya followed her mid way through. He was getting annoyed at her attitude lately.

"I thought you were going to wash room."

"DAD!!!!"

Fujitaka sat his two older children down at the kitchen table, as breakfast was on the stove preparing. He seemed disappointed at the immature behavior that was currently going on.

"Anone, Touya I think you need to give your sister some privacy and as for you Sakura no more lying to your brother, you hear. Just be honest and if Touya doesn't agree…you can always come to me. Of course I would be very mature about it…" (Listen)

"Hey," mumbled Touya cutting his father off. "Mature? I am mature dad."

Fujitaka sighed at him and then looked over at Sakura. She looked very anxious about something but he knew better than to ask what was wrong, especially in front of Touya. Besides he knew that Syaoran and his daughter were spending two weeks in Tokyo before summer vacation was over.

Her father gave one lecture by another, once finished, Sakura jumped out of her seat and ran upstairs recklessly into her bedroom. She headed towards her closet, swung it open and began to stuff her belongings in the suitcase. At the same time she was praying that Syaoran didn't get weary of waiting for her. Already 20 minutes of valuable time was wasted.

This was not the plan, She thought. Touya better not interrupt me ever again.

As soon as she was finished, she clicked her suitcase shut, and stood up. She then stared into her mirror to make sure she didn't appear to 'just get out of bed'.

"Syaoran! Syaoran!" Sakura said as she ran out the front door. She was holding her bag with both arms, since it weighed a tone. A bead of sweat came down the side of her face. She was breathless and her arms were aching form the load.

She winced as she walked down one step at a time, straining herself.

"Syaoran!!" she yelled.

Syaoran's head jerked up. He was in his car half asleep. He peered out his window and saw his girlfriend having a hard time with her bag. He immediately got out the car.

"Sakura, you could of asked me to carry it," he said. With one arm, he swooped up her bag, hauled it to his car, and threw it in the back seat. Sakura was in awe at how easily Syaoran did it. She blushed a little.

"Did Touya suspect anything?" he asked. He took her hand and led her around the car to the passenger seat. "Hn?"

Sakura shook her head no. "But as usual, my dad saved the day. Now we can go to Tokyo with out any worries. Just you and me." She got into the car happily, but still evidently tired from the rush of things.

It's really happening. We're sort of running away, from big brother that is, She thought. She watched as Syaoran walked around the car and got into the drivers seat.

"It's really happening," said Sakura wistfully.

Syaoran smiled. "But we can't keep running away for the rest of our lives you know. We're going to have to get Touya to accept US or we'll never be happy." There was a slight hint of seriousness in his voice that caused Sakura to frown.

He placed a firm grip on the steering wheel. "Let's just have fun okay? In two weeks we won't have to worry about Touya anymore. He'll be gone, back to college and you and I can go to as many movies as we want."

Sakura quietly said, "Demo…" (But)

"Don't look that way, believe me there are worst days."

"I just hope that one day he can just stop being controlling." Sakura sat back in her seat. Her lips tried curving into a smile, but it just wasn't happening.

"Let's just have fun Sakura." After that Syaoran pulled out his keys and started the ignition. After a few seconds he pulled off.

"Hey! What the hell! Where are you taking my little sister!" screamed Touya as he ran out the house. He watched helplessly as Syaoran's black sports car sped down the road, disappearing into the morning mist.

He was breathing heavy; his hands were balled up into two tight fists. His face was red and the expression on his face was distorted.

"Ahh! That baka!"

Meanwhile, inside the Kinomoto residence…

Fujitaka watched as his son almost hyperventilate in the middle of the street, drawing odd glares from neighbors. He almost found the whole scene humorous but also found it rather annoying. Will his son be able to let go of her someday?

He turned away from the window. The relationship of Syaoran and his daughter was reminded him of his relationship with his wife. When he met his wife she was sixteen, but her cousin who was very much similar to Touya hated it and always wanted them to break up. And it was always for stupid reasons.

Touya would say that Sakura could date Syaoran as long as they were in his presence, but in reality he wanted the relationship to be destroyed.

Fujitaka couldn't favor Touya's ideas. They were just wrong and down right vile. Fujitaka was in love before and he knew the feeling. He wanted Sakura to be happy and he knew that she was really in love with the boy.

"Be careful Sakura," he said to himself.

Touya stormed into the house. Anger was not detailed in his face anymore; it was more like sadness and betrayal.

"That kaijuu lied to us Dad! She said she was going to the store and…"

Fujitaka raised a hand to silence his son from his angry rant. He calmly began to speak, "Let her be…or she'll never come back." Then he turned away and headed into his study leaving Touya gaping.

"Nani? Dad, what are you saying? You let her go with that…you must be joking!"

Fujitaka closed the door without a word.

Touya stood in the middle of the room in silence and stared at the office door.

I can't stand this! I have to find her!

Touya made a quick dash upstairs to his bedroom.

Sakura pulled out a small little notebook and began writing the activities that she and Syaoran would do in the city. She then took out a small grape scented pen, with a heart shape on the end of it. She began to scribble down random stuff.

Syaoran hadn't noticed until he stopped at a red light. He looked over to his side and saw her occupied in a tiny notebook. She furrowed her eyebrows, scrunched up her nose, and shook her head. She crossed something out and started over again.

"What are you writing about?" he asked curiously.

Sakura automatically responded jokingly, "Our Honey moon."

Syaoran's eyes widen, he was taken back by her answer. Nervously he asked, "Come again? You said what?"

Sakura laughed a little at the look on his face. He seemed shocked and frightened at the same time. Marriage was definitely the last thing on his mind.

"No, silly. I'm writing a list of things to do when we get to Tokyo." Sakura started to jot down notes again.

Syaoran nodded, half relieved. Yeah, he was going to marry her, but not NOW. That was like a million years away in his 16 year old mind.

He drove for a while with impeding silence between the two of them. Sakura seemed to be writing a novel ( 20 pages Sakura, sheesh!) and Syaoran stomach started to growl for food. A half hour passed, they were almost reaching the city. Tokyo skyline was a mile away and ahead they could see the tip of Tokyo tower.

"Syaoran?"

"Hai."

"Would you ever leave me?"

What kind of question is that? He thought in panic. He kept his eyes on the road and his composure.

"Never. Why?"

Sakura shook her head slowly. "Nothing, just asking." She quickly went back to writing.

Syaoran gave her a questionable look. "Sakura, don't worry. I love you and that's all that matters. If we don't end up together, and break apart, we'll always find are way back into one another's arms."

Sakura smiled at his comment. "In one another's arms? I love that."

Syaoran shrugged. "It's not that good of a line. It's been used before."

"Silly, you said it and that's all that matters. Silly Syaoran…" Sakura said his name in a whisper, leaned over, placed her soft lips on his cheek, and held that kiss for a while.

"I love you," she said against his skin and then kissed him again.

To Be Continued…. (Hope you liked)
