Disclaimers: I don't own Card Captor Sakura but thankfully I own this fic-ish...
A/N: the writer's block sickness is getting into me... so forgive me if this chappie's short...AGAIN. I'm really, really sorry because I'm always a victim of the said sickness... oh, and Cherz, its LI... :) and I updated now beacuse... your reviews totally inspired me!!!! So, here... thanks ya'll!!!!!!
"That's a wrap, everyone!!!" Tomoyo said over the microphone as the song ended. They just finished their rehearsal. [Aww, sorry that you missed it!!! Hehe, I'm so mean]
Sakura sat sown, exhausted. Who would have thought that being your best friend's lead dancer in her contest song be So tiring, as well as hard?
"Here," said a voice. She looked up to see Syaoran holding a towel and a bottle of water. Sakura blushed. "Thanks..."
She got the bottle and drank the water in one gulp. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, but she actually drank all of it... not including the bottle, of course.
She then wiped her sweat with the towel...and looked over Syaoran, who quickly looked away. She smirked. Syaoran was actually staring at her, watching her every move. Her smirk widened into a grin when she saw a pink stain on his cheeks. 'Caught in the act!!' she thought, mentally laughing.
"Hey, Syao, I'll just change, k?" she said. Syaoran nodded, now looking at her.
She stood up and went to the locker rooms to change. After fifteen minutes, she went out. Tomoyo wasn't yet done [Gosh, I wonder why] so Syaoran offered to walk her home, since Eriol was obviously going to wait for 'the love of his life, his sun, moon and stars, his vision of loveliness, the Aphrodite, Venus, Cleopatra and Juliet in his life'... boy, Eriol could be such a charmer and hopeless romantic at times. No wonder Syaoran calls him 'Romeo'... but now we're all wondering why Sakura calls him 'nerdy-big headed boy'.
They walked in silence, not being able to think of a topic... until...
"OW!!" Sakura tripped.
Syaoran was immediately in her aid. "You O.K.?" he asked as he helped her stand up. Sakura nodded until she noticed... she was so close to Syaoran. Both blushed and looked away. The eerie silence continued until they were in the doorstep of the Kinomoto residence.
"So, I guess I'll be going..." he turned to leave, but Sakura caught his hand just in time, both of them feeling some kind of electricity go up from their hands. Syaoran turned to look at her as she said, "Come in first. Maybe you're thirsty or something..."
Syaoran nodded.
They went in, Sakura still holding Syaoran's hand, or vice versa, no one could tell... but that didn't matter... I mean since they didn't want to let go...
Syaoran sat down on the couch as Sakura went to the kitchen. "Would you like water, juice, tea or soda?" she called from the kitchen. "Or mix of four?"
Syaoran chuckled. "Just water please."
"Ok... but it's your loss!!!"
She then went to the living room, bringing two glasses of cold water. She gave one to Syaoran and sat down.
"Thanks..."
They were silent... until...
"Uh, Sakura?" Syaoran said. "Uhm, I was wondering... of you could tell me more about yourself? I mean... its just that I don't really know you and..." Sakura nodded, understanding him.
So she was story telling him about her not-so eventful life...on the account that she was almost raped by her uncle... anyway...
"Now, its your turn!!" she said, ending her "life story".
Syaoran frowned slightly. "Do you really want to know me?" he said darkly, as if he wanted to scare the wits out of her.
"Of course!!!" she said. "I told you my story, now you tell yours!!!"
Syaoran sighed. "Ok... I'm Li Syaoran, 14 years old, heir of the Li Clan, schooling in an all-boys school with Eriol, best friend of Eriol--" Sakura suddenly put up her hand.
"Don't tell me the obvious, Einstein," she said, giggling. Syaoran sighed heavily.
"Fine... well, when I was in grade 2, my parents were...divorced. Anyway, when I turned 10, I wanted to try everything... and I mean everything."
"Like?"
"Smoking, drinking, drugs, girlfriends..."
"No way!!!"
"But I did it only ONCE!!! Ok, maybe not the girlfriends part..."
Sakura smirked. "So you have a girlfriend now?"
Syaoran blushed. Sakura's smirk widened. "I knew it!!!!!!!! Who? Come on tell me!!!! Who's the lucky girl?!"
"S...Stephanie..."
"And? She's?"
"My... neighbor..."
"Oohh... hehe!!! That is so cool!!! Introduce me to her, ok?!"
"How about you? Got any boyfriends?" Syaoran asked, trying to have revenge. But Sakura shook her head. "Nope! And not in a million years!!!!"
"Hey, don't say that!!" he said. "Someday, someone will court you!!! I know it!!!"
"Ok, I'll believe you, Mr. Master of Relationships!!"
Syaoran rolled his eyes. Sakura smiled warmly at him. "Thanks."
"For what? Pulling your hopes up because I told you someone will court you someday?"
"NO!!" she said, laughing. "I meant thanks... for being a friend."
Syaoran smiled back at her. "You know what?"
"What?"
"You're now my favorite friend."
Sakura laughed. "You serious?"
"Dead serious!!! I haven't opened up to someone like I did to you!!!"
Sakura grinned sheepishly. "So from now on, I'll call you 'Favorite friend'!! K?!"
Syaoran nodded, happy now that he had someone to accept and understand him for who he was after years of searching. She definitely was the perfect 'Favorite friend'.
