A/N: Alrighty! I reread the last chapter and I realized that things went a little too fast and that the chapter wasn't long enough. It made it really boring WHICH MEANS I'm going to stretch out the story a little bit more and make the chapters longer. I hope that will make things better. :) Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2: Brother huh? Hmm...
As soon as Syaoran finished his sentence, Sakura smiled and closed her eyes, putting her hands together as if she were going to do a spell. Looking at her akwardly, Syaoran waited to see what she was doing and he couldn't help but notice that his wish didn't even seem to phase her at all. She just closed her eyes as if it was a normal question that was asked every day.
A few moments later she lowered her hands and opened her eyes. "I have just checked with the lead council of the angel society and they said that I am able to grant your wish."
Syaoran's eyes practically bulged out of his head at her words. He never really expected to hear her say that, let alone have to contact some sort of weird lead council of..something something...angel whatever. He stuttered for words as she sat in front of him.
"So...you're able to grant my wish? You're allowed to be my girlfriend?" his shocked expression soon turned into one of great happiness. This was completely unbelieveable! Then right before his eyes she began to float. He was too caught up in his joy that he didn't notice her mumble a few words and begin to glow.
"Wow..." he mouthed as she glowed brighter. Everything in the room started to shake and a rough wind started up. Syaoran had to hold onto his bed in order to keep himself from being lifted into the air. Everything began to blow around her glowing figure in a wide circle and Syaoran knew he was going to be yelled at for all of this noise. Soon enough the wind died down along with the noise and she floated back to the ground, still glowing brightly.
BANG BANG BANG!
"Li Syaoran! How many times do I have to tell you that I do NOT want you making this much noise!?" his manager pounded against the door angrily while the glowing and the wind died down completely, revealing Sakura's clothless body in front of Syaoran. Syaoran screamed when he saw her, blushing immensly while he tried to look away...which took great difficulty.
"Why don't you have clothes on!? P-put something on!" he screamed, trying to hide his embarrassment.
"But I don't have any clothes. When I granted your wish, the wish had taken away all of my angel garments." she said sadly, seeing how he was reacting to this. Though she did seem really dense, she didn't realise how embarrassing this situation was and she didn't even make an attempt to cover herself up. Then Syaoran turned around, his expression now both embarrassed and shocked.
"So you actually fulfilled my wish?" he asked puzzled. She just nodded her head smiling from ear to ear while the managers voice interrupted them.
"What? What are you talking about Li? I have my clothes on, unless you're...no way." he said.
Syaoran began to panic, he forgot that his manager was still outside his door. "Oh no!" he hissed as quietly as he could. "We have to hide you, no girls are allowed in this building!" Sakura just frowned but remained still.
"Hmm...let me think..."she said out loud.
"There IS no time to think. We need to hide you before..." another bang was heard from the door, clearly from his managers fist, and then the sound of keys.
"Syaoran! You better not be hiding a girl in there! You know the consequences if you are!" the manager began trying every key to see which one fit the hole. "Damn...I really need to remember which one goes where. This is so inconvenient." At this time Syaoran was going to pass out from panicing so much. There was barely any room in his dorm to hide and once his manager came in, he would find Sakura and kick him out.
"Ok! First um..lets find you some clothes." He blushed once again and quickly searched around the dorm, grabbing the first thing he saw and wrapping it around her. She looked down at the towel he had put on her and blinked as if to say this-is-what-im-going-to-wear? Syoaran took one look at her and got a nosebleed.
"For some reason that towel around her looks so..."
"I'm coming in Li! You can't hide anything now!" the manager said, interrupting what Syaoran was going to say. He yelled a small 'aha!" as he found the right key and put it in the keyhole. Doing the first thing that came to mind, Syaoran pushed Sakura onto the floor against the wall and layed down in front of her, trying to hide the obvious fact that he now had his 'girlfriend' in his room. Moments later his manager burst through the door huffing while he looked around for any signs of 'girliness'. "Where's the girl Li?" he asked bluntly.
"What girl? There is no girl, I have no idea what you're talking about." Syaoran's heart was pounding so heard he could hear it in his ears. He was trying everything he could to stop his manager from finding her.
"I don't believe you. And why do you have a nosebleed?" he asked while quirking an eyebrow at Syaoran. "You'll need a towel to wipe that up, want me to get you one?"
"No I'm fine! I have one right here see?" he reached behind him and pulled on the towel that Sakura was wearing and held it in front of him. Suddenly realising what he had just done he kicked himself mentally and quickly flung it behind him, covering her body.
"Hm...I see." the manager looked around the room once more and turned to face him again. "I guess you don't have a girl in here after all. But I'm just curious..." Syaoran's heart skipped a beat hearing the word 'curious' and hoped that he wasn't going to have him stand up. "Why are you acting so odd? Are you feeling alright?" A few heads from some guys across the hall popped into view from outside his door, curiously watching to see what was going on.
"Er I wonder what's happening..."
"Is Syaoran going to get kicked out?"
"I hope the manager will let me have his dorm once he leaves."
Syaoran laughed nervously and layed his head on his hand. "Eheheheh I'm not acting odd. I'm just um...er...a little drunk!"
"Clearly." the manager said, still a bit suspicious. He sigh and turned around to leave, shutting the door behind him while the guys started rampaging him with questions about what had happened. Syoaran just collapsed onto his back, extremely relieved that he wasn't caught.
"I would have been so busted if he found her. I can't afford to be kicked out of this place." he let out a deep breath and turned to see Sakura sitting up facing him with the towel loosly tied under her arms. And soon enough, he had yet another nosebleed. Sakura just tilted her head questioningly while Syaoran averted his gaze away from her. "We really need to find you some clothes. Why can't you just make some for yourself?"
"Well I could have, but I can't do it in front of people other then you. No one must know I'm an angel or things will go terribly wrong."
"Like what?"
"I...I cannot say. It is best if we leave this subject alone for the time being." she said as she stood up. Syoaran stood up as well, having completely no idea what to do next.
"So...how am I going to hide you all this time without having anyone notice? Im stumped." he put a finger to his chin along with Sakura as he said this. Now having an angel as a girlfriend, just having a girl as his girlfriend PERIOD made him nervous and embarrassed. He had only really had one other girlfriend before, Sakura was the only one he really liked though. The girl before her only used him to make her ex jealous so they could get back together. After that, Syoaran never really trusted anyone else. "Now that you're here, I'm going to have to find some other way to hide you. You already know what will happen if I get caught."
"Yes I know, I will try my best to be the greatest girlfriend you've ever had! I'll also try to keep out of sight too." Just hearing her say this made Syaoran feel happy and excited. Having an angel as a girlfriend who was going to grant him wishes was beyond what he ever wanted.
"Ok well first things first. Where are you going to sleep?" he said. The both of them looked around quietly and both their eyes focused on the bed. "I guess I can sleep on the floor while you sleep on the bed. Just until we find some other way of getting things organized." he laughed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I wasn't really expecting to have a girlfriend in such short notice."
Sakura walked over to the bed and layed down, still in the towel. "It's alright, I know you'll think of something!" As soon as she said that, she rolled over and the towel came completely undone revealing her nude body once more.
'Damn nosebleeds.' Syaoran closed his eyes tight and plugged his nose with his fingers to keep it from bleeding. "Uh! Yeah about that towel...h-hold on while I find something for you to wear." Sakura just watched him curiously as he rummaged through one of his drawers. "I guess you can wear this for tonight." He handed her an oversized T-shirt. Looking at it as if it were some kind of new invention, Sakura attempted to put it on. One leg through a sleeve and the other leg in the other sleeve. Clearly she had never put on any human clothing.
"Eheh...don't you know how to put on clothes Sakura?" Syaoran sweatdropped as he continued watching her put on the shirt with difficulty.
"Well no. Eh, I've never really had to dress before. Us angels don't really have to do anything. We're always clean, we never have to change clothes, and we never have to sleep." she said. She had finally gotten the shirt on the right way and was now looking herself in the mirror that was on the inside of the closet door.
"Wow really? You never have to do anything?" Syoaran asked in amazement.
"We never DID have to do anything, yes. But now that I'm your girlfriend, I'm human just like you." she turned around and bent over, looking at the words that were at the bottom of the shirt, which made it look like she was checking out her own butt.
"......" Syaoran was speechless. If she was human, did that mean that she couldn't grant any more wishes for him? He stuttered trying to find the right words to say while he paced the room back and forth. "So does that mean I can't make any more wishes?" Sakura had turned around and plopped on the bed, ready to answer his question when a knock was heard from his door. "Don't move, hide under the blankets." he said as he walked over to the door. Sakura did as she was told and hid under the blankets.
"Yo Syaoran, what happened between you and the manager a few minutes ago?" Syaoran opened the door to see Hisaragi standing in front of him.
"Nothing, he just assumed that I had a girl in the room." Syaoran said, trying to stand in his view of the bed. Then unexpectedly, Hisaragi started laughing uncontrollably. He leaned forward, putting a hand on the door with tears in his eyes.
"Hahahaha, you? Have a girl? Gahaha!" Syaoran narrowed his eyes irritated and slammed the door shut, catching Hisaragi's fingers in the door. "OW! OPEN THE DOOR! OW OW OW! sob Syaoran! Open the damn door my fingers are stuck!" he screamed in pain. Syaoran smirked and opened the door again.
"Oops, I'm sorry. Did I catch your fingers by accident?" 'Hmph, how dare he make fun of me. Too bad he doesn't know that I actually do have a girl in here with me. That would wipe the laughter off his face.'
"Rrr you did it on purpose!" Hisaragi said, gently rubbing his fingers which were pulsing from the pain. Syaoran just shrugged and raised his nose in the air.
"Maybe I did. But it was just to prove to you that I actually DO have a girl in here with me." the blood drained from his face after he said those words and Hisaragi couldn't help but choke on the air he was breathing.
"Wait what? You have a girl in there with you? Where, show me." he tried to stand on his tiptoes to see over Syaoran's shoulder but he still couldn't see any sign of the girl. And right when Syaoran was about to tell him to leave, Hisaragi pushed by him and started running through the dorm, looking for a sign of anything that moved...with pretty legs. "I don't see anything." he continued to look around and something caught his eye. A big lump in the bed. He raised an eyebrow and gave a wide grin while glancing over at Syaoan who was about to lose it. "I think I found her. Is she decent? Or will I have to wait till she gets changed in order to pull the covers off?" he sniggered and took a hold of the blankets before Syaoran could mutter a single word and pulled the blankets off. "What's this?" Hisaragi said, blinking in confusion.
"What the..." Syaoran tried not to look surprised when Hisaragi turned around to face him.
"Where is she? I was sure that she was laying there but obviously it's just a pillow." he walked over to the closet and looked inside. She wasn't there either. "Hmm...you lied to me! I knew it! I knew you didn't have a girl in here!" he began laughing again as he walked out of the room and down the hall.
"Yeah well. Um. I only said it to see if you would fall for it! And you did! Ya loser." Syaoran said as he watched him laugh down the hall. He then turned around and slammed the door shut, running around the dorm looking for her. "Hey Sakura, where'd you go?! Oh no I hope she didn't leave. This is bad."
"I'm right here."
Syaoran turned around to see her standing with her hands behind her back looking as innocent as ever. "Where did you go?" he asked as she went back to lay down on the bed.
"I was up there." she said, pointing a finger to the ceiling.
"All the way up there?"
"Yep, it was no problem really. I just hung up there without moving. I knew you had made a mistake so I did the first thing that came to mind. I hid." she pulled the covers up over her head while Syaoran thought to himself.
'She may be a little dense but she's smart. I wonder...how long this will last. I still can't believe what's been going on.' "Hey Sakura, since your my girlfriend, once I finish my 2 wishes, are you still going to go back to that angel whatever place?...Sakura?" he walked over and pulled the covers down and saw that she had already fallen asleep. 'No wonder, a lot has happened in such a short amount of time. She came out of my closet, she had to grant my wish. Who knows how much power that could have taken her. And then she had to hide from Hisaragi...I'll let her sleep.' he pulled the covers above her shoulders gently so he wouldn't wake her up, and he grabbed another blanket for him to sleep on the floor with. Yeah it was a little cold, but he didn't care. He was too tired and too excited to care about that. Instead he just opened the blanket on the floor and layed down, falling asleep almost instantly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Syaoran...I'm sorry."
"No! Why are you doing this?!"
"I have no choice, I have to. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before now but..."
"No Sakura! You have to stay! I don't want you to leave me!" he said while running towards her. She sobbed quietly, tears running down her cheeks as she glowed and changed back into her angel clothes. "Please stay! I need you Sakura!" he stopped running as he watched her float up into the sky and disappear.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sakura...Sakura... wait. No. Err come back!" Syaoran's eyes shot open as he jerked awake. He was covered in sweat and didn't know what to think. Then as soon as he went to move, he could feel a small arm laying over him. He looked to his side and saw no other then Sakura, lieing next to him on the floor still asleep. 'It was only a dream.' he thought as he remained still. He looked at her peaceful face. Her skin was so light, so soft, he wasn't even sure if it was real skin at all. And her beauty...her beauty. Syaoran was blinded by her beauty, he had never seen anyone as beautiful as her. She continued to breathe in and out gently and slowly as he continued to stare at her. He tried his best not to move but sadly, failed. Someone knocked on the door, making him jump and his leg moved. Almost immediately he began to blush when he realized where he had moved it. He looked down and saw his leg...in between hers...He then remembered...she wasn't wearing any underwear!
He quickly shifted and bolted up, facing the wall while he tried to take control over all his blushing. Then the knock was heard again, this time waking up Sakura as well.
"Who is it?" Syaoran said as normally as possible while Sakura stood up and stretched. How had she ended up on the floor with him anyways?
"Its Hisaragi."
"What do you want?" Syaoran said annoyed, putting up a finger to keep Sakura from saying anything.
"Geeze, looks like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Or should I say afternoon. You're an hour late to school Syaoran." there was a loud clatter, the sound of things falling, then a loud scream.
"WHAT?!"
"Yup, that's right. You missed your first class. Why did you sleep in? What exactly did you do last night?" he asked while Syaoran ran around his room putting on his clothes and eating his breakfast/lunch. Honestly he didn't do anything the night before. All he did was have that dream...that dream. It seemed so real. And he wondered why Sakura was laying next to him instead of the bed she was in before.
"Nothing, I did nothing! I have never been this late before."
"Well hurry up, your next class is going to start in the next ten minutes. I'll see you there soon, I hope." and he walked off, leaving only Syaoran and his thoughts.
"Are you going to be going to school?" asked Sakura sweetly. Syaoran nodded.
"Yeah I have to, I can't afford to miss anymore classes, I need to pass in order to go to that special school my mom wants me to go to. I promised her I would do anything I could to get into it."
"Okay then you mustn't be late. I'll be right here waiting for you until you get back." these words made Syaoran smile. No one special had said that to him in a long time. He always liked the thought of having that special someone waiting for him for when he came back home, and now it was happening. He turned around and kneeled down, taking her hand into his gently.
"Then I'll be back as soon as possible then. See you in a few hours." He kissed her hand and stood up as he made his way to the door. Sakura blushed and looked down at her hand as he left the room. She had never been in love before, nor has she ever have a boyfriend. She always wondered what being a girlfriend would be like, and now she was one.
"I know! I'm going to try to be the best girlfriend ever! That way he'll never want to leave me and break our contract of being together!" Running over to the television, she began pressing all of the buttons, not knowing which one turned it on. Then, finally turing it on and finding the channel she found interesting, she sat down and waited until Syaoran returned.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Is that right? Oy, I always hated Japanese.' Syaoran thought as he attempted to write a sentence down on the board. He had made it to his second period class, and clearly it was Japanese. Everyone watched him anxiously to see if he would get it right, even though they all knew he probably wouldn't. 'That's it...at least I think it is.' He put the chalk down and reread the sentence before he sat down at his seat. The teacher looked it over and gave him the thumbs up telling him that it was right.
Syaoran couldn't help but smile as he saw this and began wondering what was happening. Just a few days ago he was tired, not trying his best in his classes, and was always finding himself staring out into nothing within the first 5 minutes into the period. But now that he had Sakura, now that his life suddenly got a whole lot more interesting, he was seeing a big change in himself. And right as he was about to phase out again from thinking about Sakura, he looked up to see her standing in the doorway.
"What the." he blinked to make sure he wasn't just imagining things and realised that she was actually standing there. "Oh no..." he said as all the boys stared at her pervertedly.
"Woah who's that?" Eriol said, leaning over to Syaoran. "She's hot. I wonder if she has a boyfriend." Syaoran rolled his eyes and slumped down in his seat. Sakura just remained standing in the doorway looking around to see if she could find him.
"Um, sorry Miss. May I help you?" the teacher said, eyeing her questioningly.
"Yes I'm here looking for Syaoran. He is in here right?" all the boys went "ooooo" and stared at Syaoran as she said this and Syaoran blushed as he sank deeper into his chair.
'What is she doing here? I thought she was back at the dorm.' he thought, but it was too late. She had already found him and was making her way to him right at that moment.
"Hi Syaoran."
"Hi Sakura...what are you doing here? You do know that you are the only girl standing here in this entire school right?" Sakura nodded her head and smiled widely. "And how did you get those clothes? You look...nice." he found himself staring again as he looked her up and down. She had somehow managed to find herself a cute yellow dress with a matching yellow hat. Unsurprisingly she was also wearing sandals as if she were ready to go to the beach.
"I was watching the square box you have in your room and I saw these 2 girls walking on the beach. I liked their outfits so I made myself some." She said it without a care in the world, and knowing Syaoran, he just HAD to ask how she made it.
"Wait, a square box? And how did you make them?" he asked confused.
"Well I put my hands together like this." she clasped her hands together and they began to glow. "Then I said af..." she wasn't able to finish her sentence for Syaoran had put his hand over her mouth.
"No nevermind, I think I have a few ideas of how you could have made them." he looked around the room and everyone was staring at them quietly.
"Um Syaoran, do you know his young lady?" the teacher asked.
"Yes he does, I am his..."
"-friend. She's my friend sensei." Syaoran finished her sentence for her. He didn't know why he didn't tell the truth and say that she was his girlfriend, but for some reason, now didn't seem like the time. Sakura looked at him confused but remained silent as the teacher motioned for them to leave the classroom. Syaoran took her hand and picked up his backpack as they both left the classroom.
"Syaoran...I thought I was your girlfriend." Sakura said feeling a little hurt. "Why did you tell him that I was only a friend?"
"I don't know." he stopped walking, ending up in the cafeteria. Laying down his backpack he sat down at one of the tables and sigh. "It just didn't seem the right time to tell them you were my girlfriend."
"How come? Are you embarrassed to be with me?" she frowned.
"Oh no! No of course not!" Syaoran said, waving his hands in front of him. "It's just that, I don't know. I guess I want to get used to having you around before I start telling people that I'm with you."
"Oh I see. Well that makes perfect sense!" Sakura sat down next to him, smiling her familiar happy smile. This seemed to warm Syaoran up.
"Well lets get to the point. Why did you come see me?" he asked.
"As I said, I wanted to be the best girlfriend you've ever had! And while I was watching that show, one of the girls wearing this outfit had a boyfriend. I watched to see how the couples acted for I have never been in a relationship before, and I tried to copy what they did."
"And what did they do?" he smiled seeing how she enjoyed telling him about what she had done that afternoon. She looked so cute just sitting there as if there wasn't a care in the world. Also, he wanted to ask her about why she had never been in a relationship before. It made him feel...weird. But in a good way.
"They held hands like this." she took a hold of his hand, making a small pink spread across his cheeks. "They went to lots of places together, and..."
"...and what?" he asked curiously. Then, not saying a word, she leaned forward and closed her eyes.
"...they did this." Without knowing whether it was right or wrong, Sakura leaned forward and kissed him. Syaoran's eyes were the widest they had been in the longest time. She was kissing him, and he knew it. She had given him his first real kiss. The pink that was apparant on his cheeks immediately turned to red and stayed that way long after she pulled away. "What's wrong?" she asked, seeing his face. "Are you alright Syaoran?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." he turned away avoiding her eyes and practically fell off the table he was sitting on when he noticed who was witnessing the entire event. Almost all the boys from his Japanese class were standing from afar, watching the two. Syaoran almost had a heart attack. "What are you guys doing here?!"
"Nothing, sensei just let us out early...and we're sorry if we 'interrupted' anything." there were sniggers from the entire group of boys and Syaoran turned scarlet. Sakura didn't really know what was going on and she just stared at him, watching his face turn different shades of red in amusement. Though Sakura was an angel, she didn't know very much about human and human emotions. She still had lots to learn.
"Um Syaoran, why is your face all red?" she asked, still confused. Syaoran remained silent as the boys all made their way over to them.
"Aw honey don't worry about him. He's always like that when around a pretty lady like yourself." one of the boys said, putting an arm around her. Sakura just smiled and folded her hands in her lap.
"Oh I see. Well then I guess I should get going, if I don't his face wont change color." she said. Everyone laughed and began talking in a group loudly when the lunch bell rang signaling the beginning of lunch. "I'll see you later Syaoran. I hope I didn't cause you too much trouble..." she turned around and started walking off out of school grounds. Syaoran just stared after her while all the boys filed out of their classes and out into the cafeteria.
'She stole...my first kiss.' he thought. His blush seemed to darken. 'This is really going to to need some getting used to.' his thoughts were interrupted when a guy yelled from across the table.
"Woah! Check out that chick! The wind just blew her dress up over her head!" Syaoran immediately turned to look at where he was pointing and saw Sakura standing near the cross walk trying to keep the dress down. Syaoran's face turned beat red and he quickly stood up and stood in front of all the boys' gaping eyes.
"Stop looking! It's impolite you guys!" Syaoran waved his hands over his head to block their view, but it didn't do much good. 'Oy, I need to do some serious shopping. Ugh...for girlie underwear.' he scrunched up his face thinking about it and then yelled for Sakura to hurry and get a move on before the wind started blowing again. She did as she was told and walked across the crosswalk onto the sidewalk, waving to him happily.
"Syaoran." Eriol said, laying a hand on his shoulder, his eyes closed as if he were thinking about something really hard. "If you don't hurry up and take her, then someone else will. Like me for example." he grined and brushed off invisible dust that was on his own shoulder in a 'cool' manner. Syaoran just made a sour face and glared at him from the corner of his eye.
"Yeah okay whatever." he said as he pushed off his hand and sat down yet again at a cafeteria table. 'She's already mine, so I don't have anything to worry about...do I?' he gasped out loud as soon as he realised something. 'I didn't make my wish specific. I just said that I wished for her to be my girlfriend, I didn't mention for how long though! Oh no this is bad, my wish came true, but it could just as easily end.'
"Come on Syaoran! Hiroaki brought in a porno magazine! Come take a look!" one of the boys said while the other guys were yelling and talking. They were all pointing their fingers at the pictures going 'ooooh' and 'aaaah'.
'I wont worry about that now. I'll worry about it later I guess.' he shook off his thoughts and stood up, making his way to the group of boys. "Alright, let me see!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi Syaoran! You're finally back!" Sakura screamed happily as Syaoran walked through the door. "Did you have a good day at school?"
"Boy I sure did." he said sarcastically. "I spent the rest of the day looking at porn my friend brought to school. I'm amazed he didn't get caught." he raised an eyebrow remembering the book he looked at. Sakura just tilted her head in confusion.
"Porn?" she asked. Syaoran sweatdropped and fell over.
"It's nothing, nothing at all! Just a book with lots of um...interesting pictures. They have movies on it too and not to mention... NO we can talk about this later ehehe..." he began to trail off when instead he turned around and walked over to the kitchen akwardly. For some reason he looked extra stiff. If it wasn't for how dense Sakura was, anyone would have known he was either embarrassed or was trying to hide something. It didn't phase her though, it flew right over her head. "What would you like for dinner?" Syaoran said. "I have soup, some rice...I think I ran out of shrimp. Hold on let me check."
Sakura was really confused. She didn't know what most of these human terms were. She knew what shrimp and rice were. But she didn't know what soup was. After all, she never did have to eat until now.
Gurgle
Syaoran looked up from the cupboard he was looking through and looked at her. "What was that?" he asked. Sakura just blinked and blushed slightly.
"I think I'm hungry." she gave a small giggle and stood up, walking over to him. "Would you like any help cooking anything?" she asked. She stood inches away from him, and he was still on all fours on the floor. When he looked up, he began to stutter when he noticed that if he looked up any more, he would be able to see what was up her dress. He really didn't want that...no wait...actually yeah. He really didn't want that.
"Der um...naw I'm fine. Go back and make yourself comfortable, I'll make you some soup." he rummaged through the cupboard again and pulled out a bag of beef soup while trying to keep his thoughts 'G' rated. Sakura just watched from the bed curiously since she didn't know what soup was.
'I've never felt this way before. My stomach never ached and growled like this when I was still full angel. Is this what happens to humans once they get hungry?' she thought to herself. Her stomach made another growling sound and she couldn't help but giggle. She then looked up when she heard a voice beside her.
"You really must be hungry. Here." Syaoran said, giving a small laugh himself. Putting a small tray with a bowl of soup in front of her, he watched as Sakura looked at it curiously.
Sniff sniff "Mmm, it smells good! So this is what soup is." she said excitedly. Syaoran smiled and watched her as she took the spoon into her hand, dipped it into the soup, and brought it to her mouth. Syaoran was going to ask her if she wanted anything to drink when she suddenly yelped in pain. "OW!" she had put the spoon in her mouth but it was still boiling hot since it had just finished cooking. Syaoran was a little taken aback by her sudden scream but hurried to the kitchen to get a glass of cold water.
"Sorry! I forgot to tell you that it was still hot. Drink this, hurry." She put the spoon down as Syaoran brought the cup up to her lips, letting her drink it slowly. "There, is that better?"
She pulled away, her eyes watering slightly. "Yeah, much better." they were inches away from each other which made the moment very akward. "Um, my tastebuds are numb. I can't taste a thing." she said clearing her throat. Syaoran looked away and put the glass down.
"Again sorry about that. The soup's actually really good...once it cools down a bit." he rubbed the back of his neck gently, feeling embarrassed.
"It's alright. I have much to learn, plus I should have known it was still really hot. I'm uh, not really experienced with your human stuff yet."
"Well that's all going to change!" Syaoran said, standing up with his fist in the air. "Tomorrow I'm going to show you around the town. It's really amazing, there's lots of people you can meet. You can try out some food and not to mention clothes you might like." he started to get carried away as he walked over to his guitar poster, talking to himself and forgetting that Sakura was listening at all. "Then by the end of the day, you'll be happy, you'll have learned lots of stuff, and who knows." he turned around to face her. "I might just be ready to tell everyone that you're my girlfriend."
"Really?! That's great!" she said, flinging her arms around his neck. "I'm so excited! I can't wait until we go to all those places!" Syaoran's smile faded a bit. He thought that she was happy because he was going to tell everyone that he was going out with her. But clearly that wasn't it. He tried to change the subject as quickly as possible though as he disappeared into the bathroom.
"It is great isn't it? But we have to be careful Sakura, no one can see you walk in and out of this building, understand?" he emerged from the bathroom wearing his boxers only and walked over to the spot on the floor where he would be laying.
"Yes I understand." she replied, laying down on the bed as Syaoran layed down on the floor. Then he remembered, why did he wake up to find her laying next to him that morning?
"Hey Sakura, can I ask you something?" he asked, pulling the blanket over his shoulders.
"Sure."
"Why were you laying next to me this morning? Was the bed uncomfortable for you?" for some reason this earned a giggle from Sakura, and Syaoran wondered what on Earth was so funny.
"No of course not. You just seemed cold and it looked like you were having a bad dream. I just wanted to keep you company that's all."
'Oh yeah, that dream. I almost forgot about that.' he rolled over, still thinking to himself. 'What a weird one too. Good thing it was only a dream.'
"Syaoran?"
"Hm? Oh sorry, starting to doze off a little." he said. There was a small 'oh' from Sakura and then the sound of moving blankets. He looked over at where she was laying and saw that she was facing him from the bed, her eyes closed.
"Yeah I'm dozing off too." she yawned and let out a deep breath cutely. This made Syaoran smile. "I'll see you in the morning Syaoran. Good night."
"Good night Sakura." he said before she fell asleep. He continued looking at her for a few moments, then fell into a deep slumber as well. 'Good night, my cherry blossom.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syaoran had slept extremely good that night, with the exception of the the hard wooden floor. He had no dreams and no disruptions which he had hoped for before he fell asleep. He found himself thinking a lot about Sakura the more he got to know her though, and it worried him. Not in the bad way, he was just a little edgy about how things were going. First she pops out of no where telling him that she was an 'angel'. Then she tells him that she can grant him any 3 wishes he wanted. He liked the idea...but after making his first wish, it made him think. Yeah it was great having her as his girlfriend. But did she really actually care about him? That's what bothered him, he didn't like the idea of only having her as a girlfriend because he MADE her do it. Just thinking about that made him wake up that morning, feeling a little queasy.
Sitting up from the floor he stretched and rubbed his eyes, trying to wake himself up. Then he looked over at Sakura who was sitting on her bed, but with her eyes closed. What startled him the most was when she started talking to herself, as if she was using an invisible phone. He just watched curiously.
"Uh huh. Sure ok...Yes of course you can...No I wont get in trouble, but promise me this is only because you care about me. I don't want you beating anyone up...okay...Love you too. Bye." she opened her eyes and noticed that he was looking at her. Then as if nothing was wrong, she smiled at him. "Good morning. I'm guessing you slept well since you snored all night long." Syaoran gave a small laugh and scratched his neck embarrassed.
"So who was that? I mean...is that your real boyfriend?" he felt kind of jealous, why shoudn't he? After all, she was his girlfreind...by contract. That made him feel bad about the entire thing.
"Oh no silly. That was my brother." she said, happily looking at him.
"Your brother? I didn't know you had a brother. Is he an angel too?" Syaoran asked curiously. Sakura nodded and sat down in front of him.
"He sure is. He's a little over protective though. Once he found out that I was someone's girlfreind by wish he got a little grumpy..."
Syaoran suddenly became very nervous. He had heard her say something along the lines of "...I don't want you beating anyone up either." when she was still talking to him on her invisible phone. That made Syaoran's stomach churn. "A little erm...grumpy you say?" he asked nervously.
"Oh yeah, just a little. Just throwing things against the wall, cursing, banging the phone down on the table. Little stuff like that." She looked at him as if it wasn't a big deal. But as for Syaoran, his jaw was practically laying on the floor he was so shocked. Little? LITTLE? Throwing things against the wall and banging the phone on the table is NOT little.
"So uh...um...w-was that all he wanted to t-talk to you about? I mean he's not going to come over or anything is he?" Syaoran gulped at saying those words.
"Yup! He's coming over this afternoon. I can't wait for you to meet him!" she clasped her hands to her cheek excitedly while Syaorans face turned pale.
"I can."
"What did you say? Sorry I wasn't paying attention."
"Huh? Oh nothing nothing..." Syaoran tried to hide the fact that he was scared out of his wits. He didn't want some guy coming to beat the crap out of him just because he was his sisters boyfriend. He never even HAD a girlfriend that had a brother to beat him up before. It was scary.
"Well I hope the both of you get along! It's hard finding someone he really likes. In fact, I don't think there's a guy in this world he likes at all. Other then his best friend Yukito. But that's a whole different story." She stood up and snapped her fingers, getting dressed into her angel clothes again in an instant. "I must look normal for when brother arrives. It'll lead to a bad start if he sees me wearing human clothes." she said matter of factly.
"Good thing you're wearing those too. Cause we still need to get you some...nevermind." he blushed and faced the other way.
"Get me what?" Sakura asked.
"Er...some underwear. Since...you don't have any. Unless you can make some for yourself, that would be great." Sakura put a finger to her chin and thought momentarily.
"Well I could, but you see. It takes me a long time to regain all my powers after I make a wish. These clothes are...well you could say, 'built' into me. I can use them whenever I want. As for other clothing, we can either go to the store place and buy some. Or we can wait until my powers are full again."
"We don't have time though, it's already..." he looked at his watch and his voice got a tad bit higher which made him sound like a chipmunk. "...11:30!"
"Yes! He should be here in about 30 minutes!" Sakura said, looking out the peep hole of the door just in case he was early. "He might use the door, or he might just appear like I did. Though I think he'll do the safest one and come through the door."
Syaoran couldn't breathe. What would happen if her brother doesn't approve? What if he doesn't like the idea that his sister is going out with a mere, pathetic mortal like himself? That would mean two words: Bad Ending. He didn't want to lose Sakura, he was just getting to know her.
5 minutes turned into 10, 10 minutes turned into 15, 15 turned into 25, and 25 turned into 30. Syaoran's hands were clammy, and he was constantly looking around the room to see if there was any sign of a person coming out of the wall or sink or toilet or anything. Sakura noticed his nervousness and gave him the thumbs up, trying to cheer him up.
"Oh come on. It wont be THAT bad Syaoran. Lets just hope he doesn't punch any holes in the walls."
There was a sudden knock on the door and Sakura jumped to her feet and scrambled to open it. But once she did, there was no one to be seen. There was another knock, and this time it wasn't from the door. It was from inside the wall. Syaoran knew he wasn't going to use the door. He had that gut feeling he wanted to show off and try to scare the crap out of him, just for the hell of it. He nervously stood behind Sakura who was the complete opposite of what Syaoran was. Syaoran was scared as hell and she was so excited, she was about to reach in and pull her brother out of the wall herself.
"Hurry up onii-chan!" She said anxiously, and of course, she reached into the wall as if it were made of liquid and pulled out an arm. Soon enough, the harder she pulled a full grown man who was clearly a bit older then either him or Sakura was standing in front of him. He looked serious and tough. Syaoran didn't dare do anything to piss him off. Instead he just stared up at him, giving a half smile. "About time! Syaoran, this is my brother Touya. Touya, this is my boyfriend Syaoran." Touya looked at Syaoran and made a look that clearly told him that he wasn't going to get along with him very well.
'Well I'm screwed.'

A/N: Sigh, finally finished with this chapter. It should be a bit longer then the last one, and I hope it wasn't too boring. I'm trying to think of ways to make it seem more interesting. Meh, I'll think of something. I hope you all enjoyed this chappie! And I wonder what Touya's going to do. Pray for Syaoran! Hehe.
