Everything Is Clear
The next morning, Syaoran and Eriol were off to work early. So early that Sakura didnt hear him leave, let alone Tomoyo. Once both girls awoke, they noticed that the guys were gone. Of course, for Sakura it meant a little bit more time to herself.
"Tomoyo?" Sakura said, knocking on her best friends door. Tomoyo opened the door and let Sakura in. She walked into the nice clean room and took a seat on the small blue couch.
"Hey, i heard you guys fighting over there? What happened?" Tomoyo asked caringly. Sakura looked at her and put a smile on, even though she was still a little hurt from the other night.
"Well, after talking to you guys and how you have already had sex, Syaoran, well, he got the idea that i would do it with him. Last night." Sakura told her. A tear rolled down her cheek. She could remember how harsh she waas to him, but then again, she waasnt going to give i up to him so easily. If he really loved her, he would wait til she was ready.
"So he tried to force you to!" Tomoyo shouted. Tomoyo saw just how sad Sakura looked and comforted her by wrapping her arms around her and giving her a hug.
"So what kind of present should i give him for our 8 month?" Sakura asked Tomoyo, sniffiling and whipping the tears from her eyes. Tomoyo looked up at the white ceiling and began to think.
"Well, we could make a movie. You know, telling about the past 8 months." Tomoyo said to Sakura. Sakuras face lit up in a matter of seconds.
"Great idea! But im guessing you dont have all the film from the past 8 months." She said in a frown, but Tomoyo jumped up and grabbed her personal laptop.
"Dont worry, i have everything stored on here, and we can just move it back onto the film!" She said happily, and Sakura smiled. This was going to be the best present ever.

5 hours Later

"Sakura?" Syaoran called out as he walked into his hotel room. He placed his bag and jacket on the chair that was closest to him and walked into the bedroom. When he noticed that she wasnt there, he figured that she was still mad at him. He sighed and sat down to watch TV. A few minutes later, Sakura, Eriol and Tomoyo walked into the room.
"Hey." Sakura said cheerfully. Syaoran smiled at her. She handed a small gift to Syaoran who looked at Sakura with confusion.
"Its an early present, i hope you like it." Sakura said in a cute childish vioce.
"I always like what you give me." He announced happily and began to open the small gift. Once he had unwrapped the gift, he noticed it was a small tape. He looked up at Sakura in confusion once again.
"Put it in." Sakura chirped and pointed at the TV. He placed it in the holder and pressed play. It started out fuzzy, but came into focus a few seconds later, with Sakura sitting at the end of a bed.

'Its been 8 months since we started dating, and I thought what a better way to celebrate it other than making a video of the past few months. Showing each time we were together.' The screen faded black for a second but soon came into focus.
'Sakura and Syaoran, look at the camera!' Tomoyo said loudly. She was filming their first month anniversary. They were at a small Ice Cream Store. They were all sitting at a booth, with Sakura and Syaoran on one side and Tomoyo and Eriol on the other. There was a small ice cream cake in the middle of the table. Sakura and Syaoran shared one last kiss and then decided to cut the cake. The small chocolate ice cream cake was passed to each of the friends, who were laughing and eating, getting the ice cream almost everywhere.
The screen faded to black and soon reappeared at Tomoyos house for their 3rd month anniversary.
'Sakura, wheres the box i gave to you?' Eriol shouted in the back. Sakura quickly looked aound the room she was in for a small black box that Eriol had given her. 'Found it!" Eriol shouted once more and appeared on the screen. Once again, Sakura and Syaoran were together, standing infront of a table with a bigger cake. It was triple chocolate, covered in sprinkles. After cutting it up, they had a few bites, and ended up throwing some of it at each other. They were all laughing and having a great time.
The screen faded to black and reappeared with Tomoyo and Sakura sitting at thier local restuarant.
Eriol was holding the camera while Syaoran ran up to Sakura. They had all taken a seat at the small table, when Syaoran pulled out a small box and handed it to Sakura. Sakura took the box and began to peel off the layer of wrapping, only to come across a silver necklace with an S on it. Sakuras eyes filled up with tears of happiness and gave Syaoran a huge kiss.
'Happy 5 month.' Syaoran said as he helped Sakura with her necklace, still crying with joy.
The screen faded to black and reappeared with Sakura and Syaoran near the town square.
'Sakura!' Tomoyo could be heard from behind the camera. Sakura looked up at her and smiled. Syaoran did the same. They looked very happy together. They began to walk down the sidewalk when Sakura handed a small package to Syaoran. Of course, Syaoran gave her one in return and they both began to open their ifts with joy. Syaoran finally opened his, only to reveal 2 tickets to a football game, front row seats, of his favorite team. Sakura also opened hers to reveal 2 diamond earrings that went very well with the necklace that she was wearing. Both tahnked each other with a few kisses and soon they were back on their way.
The screen faded to black and began once more with Sakura and Syaoran in the park.
'Happy 7th month Syaoran.' Sakura said happily. Syaoran nodded. They were at their favorite park with their best friends. Syaoran told her that he didnt want a present, but Sakura refused to let him get off that easy. Sakura handed him a small wooden box that Syaoran opened. Inside there was a very nice and expensive watch. Syaoran loved it. He gave Sakura his gift. She peeled off the blue paper and revealed a silver charm bracelet. It had 2 charms. Her birthstone and a heart. Sakura thanked him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
The screen faded and was finally brought back to Sakura sitting on the end of a bed.
"We had some great memories, but even with the good ones, there is bad ones." And the tape began again..
'Syaoran, me and Tomoyo are going out, ill call you later!' Sakura said as she began to walk away from him and Eriol. Her and Tomoyo had planned to see a movie together, but then later on Syaoran made plans with her to come over.
'Sakura, i thought you said you were coming with me?' He asked. Eriol was filming the whole time, trying to capture it all, but was having difficulty. Sakura walked back over to him.
"No i told you i had plans! Plus i never spend any time with Tomoyo any more!" Sakura said, about to turn on her heels and leave, but Syaoran stopped her. Sakura moved away from him and began to walk back to Tomoyo, ignoring Syaoran the whole time. Soon it was only Syaoran and Eriol.
'I bet this never happens to you...' Syaoran said, wandering off for a few minutes.
The screen faded black once more only to reappear with Sakura sitting on the hotel room couch.
"So?" Tomoyo said. She had no idea what happened, but her camera was going to catch the confession. Sakura looked shyly at the camera.
"He hit me." She said in a very shallow vioce. Tomoyo could feel her pain, and shifted in her seat.
"Why? What? When?" Tomoyo was full of questions. Sakura kept her right hand against her sore red cheek.
"I guess he got mad since i left the room. He still didnt tell me why though. Im still just shocked that he actually hit me." Sakura said, and then she began to cry. Tomoyo placed the camera on the side table, still in view of both girls. Tomoyo wrapped her arms around Sakura, trying to comfort her. Sakuras eyes were red, but not as red as the hand print on her left cheek. There was a knock at the door. Sakura looked up and realized that it was Eriol and Syaoran and made Tomoyo quickly turn off the camera before running into the back room.
The screen faded black once more and reappeared on Sakura who was sitting on the bed.
"No matter what happens, now matter how it happens, i just wanted to say that 'i love you!'" And the movie ended with Sakura and Syaoran sharing one of their first kisses.

Syaoran looked up at Sakura from his seat and noticed that she was blushing. She looked at him, waiting to hear his answer.
"I loved it." Syaoran answered truthfully. Sakuras face was filled with a huge grin and wrapped her amrs around his neck, kissing his cheek.
"Can we have some alone time?" Syaoran looked at Tomoyo and Eriol who winked and nodded. They left the cute couple who were still holding on to eachother on the couch.
"Sakura, im so sorry for last night. I should have made you do that. Your right, you can do it when your ready." Syaoran told her. Tears began to fall from Sakuras eyes. She took a seat in Syaorans lap and placed her head on his chest, listening to him breathe in and out.
"I love you Sakura." Syaoran said softly. Sakura looked at him.
"I love you too Syaoran." And she kissed his softly on the lips, but he pressed on to make it more passionate. After a few minutes of kissing, Syaoran broke it off. Of course, this left poor Sakura all alone for a second while he was off in his little mind.
"How about we go out for dinner tonight?" Syaoran asked her. She nodded.
"Should we bring Tomoyo and Eriol?" He asked.
"Its up to you." She said, placing her head back onto his chest.
"No, its up to you." He told her. She sighed. "I guess we could."
"Then lets go tell them to get ready." Syaoran told her, but Sakura wouldnt move. They sat there, trying to decide how to get up, but Sakura was to comfortable to move.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night, they all had finally gotten ready and arrived at the restaurant. They were placed at their table and were just awaiting the waitress.
"Hi, what can i get you guys for drinks?" the dark-haired waitress asked.
"Ill have a coke." Eriol said.
"Ill have a water." Sakura told the waitress.
"Ill just have a Sprite." Syaoran told her.
"Ill have a Shirley Temple." Tomoyo said lastly, and the waitress said that she would bring their drinks right away.
"You can get shirley temples here!" Sakura said excitedly. Tomoyo nodded. Sakuras mouth was wide open.
"Thats not fair! I want one!" Sakura announced childishly. Syaoran pulled out his wallet and gave her $2.
"Go get one then." He handed the money to her, but she gave it back.
"No, put it towards our childs college tuition." Sakura said quickly. Once she realized what she said, she placed her hands up over her mouth. Tomoyo stared at her in awe, while the boys who hadnt really been paying attention didnt get it.
"Did you just say?" Tomoyo asked her. Sakura nodded, and Tomoyo pulled her away towards the bathroom.
"It just came out!" Sakura told her, once they were hidden in the ladies washroom.
"But why!" Tomoyo asked her in confusion.
"Maybe it means that i want to have his child!" Sakura said happily. Both girls jumped up and down with joy.
"Sakura, i think you really love him, dont you?" Tomoyo questioned, and Sakuras face went beat red. She nodded.
"You should tell him that your ready, you know, to have sex." Tomoyo whispered to her as they walked out of the bathroom. Sakura looked at her in shock.
"Not yet!" Sakura whispered back. They finally reached the table, acting cool and calm.
"So what did you say?" Syaoran asked Sakura. Her face went red at this, but she just told him that it wasnt important.
They went through the rest of the night with a peaceful dinner. Having a few conversations here and there, otherwise just injoying each others company. Once dinner was finished, they all went seperate. Sakura and Syaoran went for a walk, and so did Eriol and Tomoyo but a different way.
"So what did you say in there that you didnt want to say in the restaurant?" Syaoran asked Sakura as they walked along a silent road. It was quite peaceful, which both of them loved, but Sakura was still deciding whether to tell him or not.
"If i tell, you have to promise not to laugh." Sakura told him. Syaoran moved his hand across his mouth, motioning that he wouldnt laugh. Sakura stopped and took a seat on the nearest bench.
"Well, i accidentally said that i wanted you to put the money.. towards.. OUR... childs tuition." Sakura tryed saying. Her face was red with embarassment and watched a silver car drive away in front of her.
"Woah..." was all the Syaoran could say. Sakura knew that he wast ready, and he probably didnt want to have children, which made a tear fall from her eye. Syaoran noticed this and quickly comforted her.
To him, this came as a shock. Syaoran loved Sakura with all his heart, but he wasnt sure what she had really meant by this comment. Did she want him to marry her? Did she want children? What was going on? He loved her, but he wasnt sure if he was ready for commitment. Yes, he was commited to Sakura, but thats not like marriage. He then noticed how she reacted to his comment. She looked sad, and he hated that.
'Do i love her enough?' he thought to himself.
"No, it doesnt matter what i said, just forget it." Sakura whipped the tears from her eyes and walked back towards the restaurant. Syaoran quickly stopped her by grabbing her arm. She spun around.
"I love you Sakura. Dont you ever forget it." Syaoran said, putting a smile on Sakuras face. She pulled him into a hug. He hugged her back and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek.
"So what was it that you meant?" Syaoran asked her. Sakuras face turned into a frown but she still kept her eyes on his face.
"Well, Tomoyo thought that it meant that i was ready. Like as in sex. And i guess... i agree with her." Sakura blushed a deep red and tried to burry her face into his chest. She couldnt see it, but Syaorans face glowed with happiness. He didnt want to force her into anything she didnt want to do, but she said that she agreed!
He pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her shiney honey-colored hair. She looked up at him and kissed him back.
"We should get back." Syaoran told her and grabbed her hand. Sakura smirked.
"Fine, but dont get any ideas just yet." Sakura laughed and Syaoran did too. Both were walking fast and laughing at the passing time, right before they ran into Eriol and Tomoyo.
"Hey, you guys are happy." Eriol said. Sakura just laughed as Syaoran tried to hold it in.
"Come on, were ready to head back." Syoaran mpened the car door and Sakura got in the other side. Eriol and Tomoyo shrugged and got into the car. Once they reached the hotel, Eriol and Tomoyo waved Sakura and Syaoran good night and went to bed. Syaoran and Sakura on the other hand were busy.
"Come on!" Syaoran said pushing Sakura lightly onto the couch. Sakura laughed as he got angry.
"No tonight. When we finally get back home tomorrow." Sakura told him as she stood up in front of him and began to twirl a piece of his hair.
"Sakura, you said that you were ready." Syaoran said, but Sakura sighed.
"I did, but i dont think this is a great place for it." She told him and quietly ran into the other room. Syaoran followed and grabbed Sakura around the waist. She laughed as he began to kiss the skin beneath her ear. He pulled her onto the bed where they soon fell asleep, in each others arms.
