Ah… it's a little late -.-;; Sorry!! I was so busy… I had to go to my aunt's on Christmas Eve… and it started at 11… ended at 10… then I had to go to church for Midnight Mass… and the church we go to is an hour away so then by the time we get home… it's two in the morning and I'm dead tired. The next day is Christmas Day and I have to go to church again cuz it's my dad and my brother's baptism. So, then, after that we go to my uncle and aunt's house and we stay there till 9. And I had no time to write my fanfics… -pout- I'm really sorry you guys… and you've been really good to me by reviewing so much! –tearing up- Thanks so much :D Here's that chapter!


"Let's go." Syaoran spoke sharply.

Eriol frowned a bit but didn't say anything.

"Alright." Sakura bowed to Eriol again and walked out with Syaoran.

Yelan… what are you planning? Eriol thought.


Snow Becomes Spring by Strawberry Promises
Chapter Four: Li-san, Li-kun and Li-chan


Sakura walked with Syaoran down the hall, following a respectable distance behind him.

She didn't know whether she should say something or not. The silence was stifling.

"Ano… Syaoran-kun?" She said, timidly.

"What?" he asked, gruffly.

"Oh, nothing," She said quickly.

"Don't say my name if you have nothing to say to me!" he said angrily.

"Sorry! I just wanted to know if I could call you Syaoran-kun… Or would you prefer Li-kun? Or Li-san… but that would become confusing because there's already another Li-san… Or maybe Syaoran-san? But not Syaoran-chan right… I don't think you'd like that… Maybe -- "

"Be quiet!" He turned to her. "Call me whatever you want! Syaoran-kun is fine! Li-kun is fine! Li-chan is fine, just be quiet!"

Sakura fell into silence.

After a few moments, Syaoran sighed. "I'm sorry for yelling at you."

He paused. "Don't call me Li-chan."

Sakura smiled a bit. She felt laughter bubbling up and she couldn't help it anymore.

She started to giggle. Syaoran stared at her.

"What's the matter?" He asked, not quite looking at her.

She couldn't stop laughing. "you…" laughter "Li-chan" more laughter "I just think…" giggles. "it's so cute!" She laughed helplessly, clutching at her stomach.

The lightest of all blushes settled on Syaoran's face.

"It's not cute." He muttered.

That only caused Sakura to laugh some more.

Her laugh was contagious. Syaoran felt himself smiling, just a little.

She stopped giggling a little and smiled hugely. "You're smiling!"

"What?" He said, defensive. "It's not that I can't smile…"

She just smiled some more. "You look cuter when you're smiling."

Sakura stopped horrified. "I mean… it's not that you're not cute when you're not smiling. I mean, you don't look cute, it's not that you aren't cute but you I don't think you're cute, well I do think you're cute but not that kind of cute…" Sakura trailed off, blushing furiously.

Did she just call me cute? Syaoran wondered.

He started to laugh.

She smiled weakly at him but he just continued to laugh.

That's when they stumbled upon Yelan Li.

She turned her surprised eyes to her son. Was he… laughing…? She thought, staring unabashed. I don't think I've heard him laugh like that for two years… ever since his father died…

This girl has more of an impact on him than I could ever have… and so soon too…

"Well, Syaoran," She began. Syaoran stopped laughing. "Would you mind to tell me why you're laughing?"

He started to laugh again. "Sh-She called me cute!"

Sakura turned red again and muttered something.

Yelan's eyes went wide. This is a better outcome then I've ever hoped for.

"Um, I have to go." Sakura said. "Gotta… wash dishes or something." She fled.


I can't believe I did that… She thought miserably. Li-san and Syaoran-kun must think I'm weird or something… I… I have to talk to Tomoyo.

She found Tomoyo and spilled everything.

The only respond Tomoyo gave her was, "You met Eriol-kun?! And you didn't tell me!?"

Sakura almost fell. "Tomoyo-chan… I think we have another crisis on our hands here!"

Tomoyo smiled, a little evilly. "Yes, yes, we have to figure out what do you with our kawaii Syaoran-kun, ne?"

"Hai," Sakura's eyes went wide. "MY SYAORAN-KUN?"

"Sheesh Sakura, you don't have to say it so loud!" Tomoyo began to laugh.

"Mou! Tomoyo-chan, don't be so mean!" Sakura said, pouting.

"Gomen, gomen, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo grinned. "Syaoran-kun's pretty cute though, ne? But not as cute as Eriol-kun!" She began to laugh again.

"Hai, hai." Sakura said, smiling. But in her thoughts, she secretly thought Syaoran was the cuter one.

"And don't worry about what he thinks." Tomoyo assured her.

Sakura smiled. "I'm sure you're right."

"Aren't I always?" Tomoyo smiled. "Come on, I have to do laundry and I know one of my friends who's gonna help me!"

Sakura groaned. "Tomoyo-chan, you know I hate laundry!"

Tomoyo grinned. "I know."
