A/N: Ohayou minna-san!! I know that I haven't updated in a while but I intend to make up for it. If time permits it I'm hoping to get Chapter 6 up as soon as possible. ((^-^)) I actually had to rewrite this chapter 'cause I didn't like the ending. (I thought it was too cheesy and I didn't have any inspiration to build off of it with) I hope you enjoy the chapter. It was quite fun to right (I think... can't remember) *sigh*

Well to the reviews:

babybluestarangel – Once again you have reviewed, and to that I'm grateful. Thx. You have updated since the beginning (sorta) and so to you I dedicate this chapter. ((^-^)) Thx again for your support. (and VERY loud enthusiasm *smile*)

Onto the chapter....

Torn Apart and then... {A S+S Fanfic}

Chapter 5:

Shock filled Sakura's eyes. Had she just heard him correctly? Had 'he' just asked 'her' to be 'his' girlfriend? Sakura stood up.

"Umm... pardon me?" Sakura walked closer to Li. Li backed away.

"It's okay... I understand... just friends, right?" Li turned around and was about to leave when Sakura grabbed his hand.

"Wait..." Li looked back. "We're friends, but..." She hesitated. "Say it again." She smiled. Li, or should I say Syaoran, looked confused.

"It's okay? I understand?"

"No, no silly. The other part." Sakura swayed his hand.

"Would you be my girlfriend?" Sakura moved closer and closer and closer. She kissed him on the cheek.

"Yes, Syaoran-kun. I will," she paused. "Be your girlfriend." Syaoran's face relaxed. Syaoran hugged her and she hugged back. Syaoran pulled back.

"Sakura-chan, can I tell you something?" Sakura nodded. "I love you."

"I love you too, Syaoran-kun." They both leaned in until they couldn't anymore and met in a kiss.

***

Sakura awoke on the couch, wrapped in Syaoran's arms. How did they end up like that? Oh right, after they confessed they're love, they decided to watch and movie and cuddle. (Actually, they didn't plan the cuddle part, it just happened.) They must have fallen asleep while watching the movie. Sakura looked up at Syaoran, he looked so cute when he slept. Actually you could compare him to a fuzzy bear that you like to cuddle with, 'cause that's what he was. Sakura got up careful not to wake him and went up to her room. She walked towards the desk and took the key off the chain that hung on her neck. Her hand shook as it neared the keyhole. Almost there, suddenly someone hugged her from behind. She jumped and dropped the key on the desk. Turning around, she was relieved to see it was just Syaoran.

"You startled me." "I see that. What were you doing?" "I was... um... just going to open the book. It's been driving me mad for a while now." She smiled. "Hey, Sakura-chan, let's make supper, I'm starved." Syaoran said as his stomach growled on cue. Sakura shook her head as Syaoran and her left her room, leaving the key on her desk next to the book.

The sweet aroma filled the house. They were making spaghetti. All of a sudden the phone rang.

"I'll be right back. Don't eat anything while I'm gone." Sakura instructed as she left the kitchen to answer the phone and cease the ringing.

"Moshi moshi?" "Konbanwa Sakura-chan. It's Tomoyo." "Konbanwa, how was your day?" "Boring, I went to a movie with Eriol-kun but it wasn't any good." "You and... Eriol-kun? Tomoyo-chan, since when?" "Since a month, Sakura-chan! You're so dense."

"Sakura-chan! When do I take these off the burner?!" "One second, Syaoran-kun, I'll be there in a minute!"

"Li-kun's over? Oh... that reminds me... what did he want to talk to you about?"
"Oh, just asked me out, gotta go, bye!" "Wha-" Tomoyo was cut off by the fact that Sakura hung up. She scurried into the kitchen.

"Who was that?" "Oh, it was Tomoyo-chan." "What did she want?" "She wanted to know what you and I talked about. I just said you asked me out and hung up. I'm gonna get an earful tomorrow." "No," Syaoran corrected. "We'll get an earful tomorrow." Sakura just leaned her head on his shoulder. Syaoran was such a great guy. But Sakura felt like he wasn't telling her something, she just didn't know what.

***

"Sakura-chan!!" Growled Tomoyo. "You better tell me every little thing, down to the last detail!" Sakura hid behind Syaoran.

"Careful, my cherry blossom is fragile. She just came out of the hospital a week and a half ago." Syaoran protested.

"Oh don't give me that. She's perfectly fine and heathly!" Eriol held her back.

"Tomoyo-chan, calm-down! Let the two 'love-birds' have some peace."

"Thanks... HAY!" They both shouted in unison.

"Anyways Tomoyo-chan, you weren't any better with Eriol-kun. Heck, I just found out yesterday!" Complained Sakura.

"Fine I'll let it slide but you have to fill me in on your first kiss when that happens."

"Well, um..." Sakura looked up to Syaoran who's face was beat red.

"No! Sakura-chan!" Whined Tomoyo.

"Gomen."

"Well then you're first cuddle..."

"Sorry."

"NO! You guys are mean. There's nothing left but sex. And to be honest, I don't really want to know about that. Life's crap." Moaned Tomoyo. Her life was meaningless now.

"Cheer up, just think about you and I." Eriol tried to comfort, his little daffodil. (A/N: Where did that come from? Meh...)

"Nah..." Sighed Tomoyo. "We're boring. We don't do anything spontaneous." Eriol was crushed. So they both sulked off the class together.

Sakura and Syaoran sweatdropped.

"So..." Syaoran promted. "You wanna go to class?" Sakura nodded.

"Sure." Replied Sakura as she took Syaoran's arm as they walked to class.

***

In class,

"Sakura-chan!" Chiharu shouted. "What happened to your face?!" (Note: still has bruise from Di-kun) Sakura looked to Syaoran, who gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Oh, umm... I... umm..." Chiharu, Rika and Naoko looked at Sakura pleadingly with worry.

"Sakura-chan will tell you later." Syaoran said. Sakura looked up at him thankfully. Just then a bunch of loud screams could be heard from a mile away. They belonged to Chiharu, Rika and Naoko. They all stared at Sakura and Syaoran's held hands.

"Sakura-chan, how could you cheat on Di-kun?" Asked Rika. At the sound of his name Sakura froze and her eyes enveloped in fear as Syaoran glared at no one in particular.

"Sakura-chan? Are you all right?" Asked Naoko.

"Umm... yah. I'm not with Di-kun anymore, and I'm not ready to talk about it yet, okay?" With that she went and sat at her desk with her forehead resting on her clasped hands. As if on cue Ranmani-sensei stepped into the classroom and the lesson began.

From his desk Syaoran looked at Sakura with worry. He wondered if this would have happened if he had decided to say in China?
