Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captor Sakura or the characters, I'm just a big fan!

It has literally been years (last updated Aug 2003) since I wrote. I apologize greatly, but I was just starting sophomore year in high school and found myself really busy. Thank you for continuing to read my fanfic… I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to DTL and mycherrywolf for their reviews. Please continue to give feedback… it makes me happy : )

Chapter 5 Summary: Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran and Shai all meet up in Tomoyo's house for cake and tea. While they are there, Sakura sees song sheets in Tomoyo's room, entitled Everlasting Love. That's weird! Plus, Sakura and Syaoran found themselves extremely close to kissing, TWICE, but their moment was broken by Shai and then Touya. Ahhhh! Oh, and Tomoyo finds herself blushing when Shai's name is spoken… could there be hidden love there?

Chapter 6: Finally

The next day at school was awkward for all four characters. Syaoran and Sakura had been so close to actually kissing the day before and an attraction had grown between Tomoyo and Shai. The day proceeded slowly and quietly, everyone seemed in deep thought.

"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura waved outside the classroom doors, "Wait for me!"

He turned away and smiled, "I'm actually heading somewhere right now. Want to meet later? I'll call you." Before she could answer, he waved good-bye and turned the corner. As Sakura watched him leaving, Tomoyo was running past her, "Wait, Tomoyo! Wanna go somewhere?"

"Sorry, can't!" Tomoyo waved and headed in the same direction as Syaoran. 'Weird' Sakura thought. As she walked towards the school exit, she felt an arm embrace her from the left side. It was Shai. "What are you up to, sweetie?"

She laughed, "Nothing I guess. Syaoran and Tomoyo are both busy."

"Maybe they're on an after school date?" Shai teased.

Sakura stopped, what if they were? They had been acting funny together, but Syaoran almost kissed her yesterday. She was really confused.

"I'm just kidding, I can tell he's into you. Besides, I hope they're not dating, I think I kinda like Tomoyo," Shai shrugged.

Sakura smiled, "Well, do you want to go get ice cream?" Shai nodded and the two began walking towards the ice cream shop nearby. They ordered two strawberry milkshakes to go(which Shai paid for), sat on a nearby bench, and began to talk.

"Do you really think I shouldn't be worried?" Sakura asked, "Before you even came here, they were acting really funny. I almost thought they were having a secret affair."

"Well, he knows how you feel, doesn't he?" Shai asked.

"I think so… I haven't told him how I feel, but we… um… we almost…"

"Kissed?" Shai smiled. "I know, I saw. That's why I interrupted you two. I'm really sorry, I was jealous; I didn't want you to kiss. I still hoped for something to happen between us, but I know nothing will."

Sakura looked away, "I'm sure you'll find a girl who will return your feelings. I don't even think you have feelings for me, you just think you do. We were only nine when we last saw each other."

He grabbed her hand and pulled her in to him. She dropped her ice cream cone on the ground. He leaned in and their lips met. That sweet taste of honey… The two kept the moment for a few seconds before parting. He looked deep into her emerald eyes, "My feelings ARE real."

Sakura was very confused. Everyone seemed to say one thing and feel another. But kissing Shai felt right. Or maybe, it just felt comforting. 'What am I thinking?' Sakura asked herself. "I love Syaoran, no one else," she cried and took her hand away from Shai. She got up and ran back towards the school.

Luckily, as she headed towards the school gates, she saw Syaoran just leaving. She ran to him, crying.

"Sakura-chan?' Syaoran asked, concerned.

"Tell me the truth, Syaoran. Please! I need you to tell me what's going on with you and Tomoyo. I love you so much and I can't stand you keeping secrets from me."

Syaoran looked stunned, "What did you say?"

"I can't stand you keeping secrets from me," she cried.

"Before that."

She looked up, into his eyes. "I love you so much."

He smiled and gave her a strong embrace. "I love you too."

They looked at each other intensely before closing their eyes… for a kiss.
