.-.-.-Chapter 13: Spring Fling Part 1

Unexpectedly, Sakura leaned over and kissed Syaoran's cheek. Syaoran had to hold in a gasp, as her soft lips basically caressed his skin.

Your beautiful soul, yeah

Sakura lay back down on the bed and sighed, and feel asleep, but not before whispering,

"I love you Syaoran."

Syaoran's eyes widened, not believing what he just heard.

'So, do I love her?' he finally thought after a soft click confirmed him that the stereo turned off.

'I don't know… Saru's who I originally wanted so I dated Sakura… but than the three weeks we've been together… a whole different meaning erupted.'

Syaoran lay in bed, staring at the door until he glanced at the digital clock and saw it was 1 in the morning. He turned and saw that the Angel was laying there, looking so innocent, sleeping like nothing was ever wrong in her life.

'But there was…' Syaoran thought, 'and I was part of it.'

He brought his hands up and caressed her cheek, letting the feel of her soft skin get to him.

'I promise you Sakura, that I'll never… ever hurt you again.' He thought, as he finally fell asleep, his arms wrapped around his Angel.

.- Morning-.

Syaoran got up, growling since his alarm clock woke him up from the best dream he'd had in ages.

'What was that dream about?' Syaoran's mind roared as he groggily got up, staring at Sakura, who was nestled against his bare chest.

.- Flashback to dream -.

It was a beautifully decorated white hall with benches all along the edges where people sat. In front was Syaoran and beside him was Eriol, both wearing tuxedos. Right beside them was a man in a dark robe, smiling generously.

Suddenly, music started playing. Not just any music…

Bridal music.

Mimi came out, throwing magnificent cherry blossom petals around. Behind her came a veiled woman whom Syaoran couldn't tell who she was. Behind her were Tomoyo and some other of her friends, who Syaoran couldn't recognize, but they did attend his school.

The music stopped playing and the woman appeared at the alter, but her face hidden behind her veil.

The priest started saying prayers and that's when it hit Syaoran, 'I'm getting married.' He thought in wonderment. 'But to who?' he thought, trying to find out who the face was behind the veil.

"We are gathered here today…" The priest started, but Syaoran wasn't paying attention, he was to busy trying to find out who she was.

'Tomoyo's behind her… which means it's either Saru or Sakura… I hope.' He scanned the audience and didn't notice Saru OR Sakura.

'The flower girl is Mimi… so that means I know this girl and the problems…' he thought.

Finally the vows were said, Syaoran somehow magically knew his. Then Eriol presented the Rings.

'Time to know who she is.' He thought as the priest asked them if they would be lawfully wedded.

"Do you, Li Xiao Lang, take her, Kinomoto…"

'So it's one of the Kinomoto sisters.' He thought amused.

"Sakura…"

'It's SAKURA!' he thought amazed.

His lips worked on their own, "I do." He heard himself say.

The priest asked Sakura and she said I do. He lifted the veil and was amazed at the beauty before him. Her emerald green eyes shining with laughter and happiness.

He leaned forward and captured her lips in a tender, loving kiss. As soon as it was over, he bridal carried Sakura to the limo, as he put her in there he heard her whisper, "I love you."

He smiled as he kissed her temple, as the driver shut the door.

"I love you too."

.- END -.

And that's when the alarm clock rung.

'What was that about?' He asked himself as he entered the shower. It was Friday today and there was still an hour until school started to Sakura could sleep for a little while longer.

He took a short shower and came out to find Sakura sitting on the sofa in her pajamas.

"Morning." He laughed as she looked up, her hair tangles over her eyes.

"Humba?" She moaned.

Syaoran burst out laughing. "Humba? Oh dear god! Take a shower Sakura."

Sakura nodded as she went into his room, took her duffle bag and took out her necessities and slouched into bathroom.

She finally came out, her hair tied in a tight bun, some droplets of water falling from her hair.

"Don't you have a hair drier?" Sakura asked.

Syaoran chuckled as he fried up some pancakes, "Nope. I have short hair, unlike you."

"Excuse me! I'm a WOMAN! Stupid dumbass." Sakura muttered as she sat down. Syaoran handed her a plate with two pancakes. She poured some syrup on them and started munching.

"Fis iz oob." Sakura moaned as she chewed her food.

"Uh… say what?" Syaoran asked as he poured some syrup on his pancakes.

Sakura swallowed and smiled, "This is good." She repeated as she drank some juice.

Syaoran chuckled, "Gee thanks. So, do you want to walk to school, or pick up your skates from your place?"

"I'll walk. That bitch is probably fucking her self." Sakura grumbling.

Syaoran raised a brow, "Since when did you down talk your sister?"

"Since she fucked up and didn't go to meet her own daughter."

Syaoran nodded, 'Should I ask her about last night?' he asked himself.

He watched her eat, as she delicately ate her pancakes, lightly putting it in her mouth and chewing softly.

"Hey, when do we fight Daisuki?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura laughed, "Please don't say Daisuki. You do know that means I Like You. Just call him Diamond."

Syaoran grinned, "Really? So then Sakura, daisuki."

Sakura looked at him, her spoon a few inches away from her mouth. Syaoran burst into laughter, "You should seriously have looked at the look on your face! No Sakura, I don't like you."

Sakura shrugged and kept on eating.

"Aishteru."

Sakura dropped her spoon on the floor and looked at Syaoran, her eyes widened as she looked into his eyes, never blinking, not laughing, but he looked dead ass serious.

"You're kidding me… right?" She squeaked.

Syaoran smirked, "You betchya babe."

Sakura growled as she bent down, picked up her spoon, dropped it into the sink and walked towards the door.

"Wait, don't you have a backpack?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura stopped walking towards the door, turned around, still not talking to Syaoran, walked into his bedroom, picked up her backpack, -since she brought it last night- walked back to the main gate, put on her shoes, opened the door, walked out and SLAMMED the door shut… and I mean slammed.

Syaoran winced as he swore the doorframe broke. He got up, threw away her pancakes away and put the plates in the sink. He got his backpack, put on his shoes and ran out, following Sakura.

The elevator opened as Sakura entered and just as it closed, the door opened again, Syaoran stepped in.

Sakura glared at him and moved her head to not face him.

"Why you mad?" he asked softly.

"Guess." She growled back as the elevator pinged, stopping at a floor as an elderly woman and elderly man stepped in.

"Uh… I said I didn't like you?" he said. The woman and man looked at him.

"Nope." Sakura growled as she stepped father away from him.

"Because I said I loved you?" Syaoran replied, knowing that he should not have said that, because it's basically toying with her heart, and for anything out there, the Li Clan has taught him, never to play with somebody's heart.

"Bingo, on the dot." Sakura grumbled as the elevator pinged as Sakura shoved her way out. She started walking as she suddenly felt a hand wrap around her waist.

"Let go of me Li." She spat.

"What the fuck, why are you so mad at me? It was just a joke." Syaoran whined.

"Joke or no joke, you shouldn't mess with somebody's head like that."

"I WASN'T MESSING WITH YOU! IT WAS A FUCKING JOKE! IT'S NOT LIKE YOU REALLY LOVE ME!" Syaoran growled.

"DON'T BE SO SURE." Sakura screamed as she shoved Syaoran off of her and started stomping away.

'Heesh, she's feisty, but… she basically has the right to be.' He thought as he ran to catch up with her.

"Hey," He whispered.

Sakura didn't say anything as she shot her nose in the air.

"I'm sorry." He said gently. Sakura sighed, "What ever." She mumbled.

"That was an easy forgive."

"When you've been living with a boyfriend stealing sister all your life, you tend to forgive really easily." Sakura sighed.

"That bad?"

"More than you can guess."

"Are you still gonna call me Li?" Syaoran asked laughing.

"Depends…" Sakura giggled.

Syaoran stopped and stood in front of Sakura and wrapped his arm around her waist as he snuggled her into him.

"Depends eh?" He said suggestively.

Sakura laughed out loud, they were close to the school; they could actually see the clock tower. Sakura's house was farther away from the school and Syaoran's apartment was much closer, that's why Sakura in-line skated to school everyday.

A bunch of kids noticed them and they shook their heads, while others who adored Syaoran, crowded around them.

"It can be Mrs. Xiao Lang Li." Sakura said softly.

"Mrs. Ying Fa Li… fits eh?" Syaoran smirked.

"Don't it ever?"

"KISS!" A kid suddenly shouted. It was then Sakura and Syaoran noticed they attracted a crowd.

Sakura's eyes widened as she shoved out of Syaoran's hug and turned in a complete circle trying to find a crack or something, but the circle was WAY to tight.

Somebody laughed, "We'll let you out only if you two share a kiss." He boomed.

Sakura's eyes widened as Syaoran's eyes danced with laughter.

"Syaoran…" Sakura said unsurely.

"Aw what, you don't want me?" He pouted.

Sakura smirked, "Hah! I can get better."

Oooh's erupted from the crowd.

"I'll show you." Syaoran husked as he grabbed Sakura's arm and dipped her into a soft kiss. Sakura was shocked but remembered how HE stole her virgin lips.

His lips caressed hers as his tongue ran over her bottom lip. It felt way to good to resist so Sakura opened her mouth, just a tiny bit.

But that's all Syaoran needed. He stuck his tongue in to her and started exploring the new and delicious territory. Sakura couldn't resist any longer and she started playing tonsil tag as well. After a good few minutes, they broke apart and the crowd cheered and hooted.

"You go Li!" Somebody called, as they group broke loose. Syaoran wrapped his arm around Sakura's waist as they started walking to her locker.

Finally, after complete silence, they arrived at her locker. Sakura spun the dial and put her books in her locker, as she got her calculus stuff out. She shut her locker and saw Syaoran still leaning in onto the locker beside hers.

"Aren't you getting your Calculus stuff?" Sakura asked.

"Ah, I'm skipping today. I don't feel like listing to some teacher drone on about crappy numbers." Syaoran said.

Sakura shrugged as she started walking to her class. Before she actually managed to take a step, Syaoran grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a loving embrace.

Sakura laughed, "What's with the love today?" She asked.

"Aw, can't a guy give his girl some love?"

"True, only if they loved her."

"Dry, you can seriously break a guy's heart! I'm in no mood to skip anymore. Besides we have lunch next so might as well go to class." So the two walked to Syaoran's locker, he got his books and they walked to the Calculus class.

.- Lunch -.

Syaoran and Sakura dumped their books in their locker and walked into café. Neither of them remembered to pack a lunch and they didn't have enough money to buy a lunch. They walked to the farthest Sakura tree and sat under it. Syaoran lay on Sakura's lap as she played with his hair.

"Can't we get create to create food for us?" Syaoran asked as he chewed on a piece of grass.

"True, but rather not risk our cover in the middle of school yard." Sakura replied.

"Where are your friends?" Sakura asked.

"Ken and them are all skipping today, since it's Friday."

Sakura nodded as she rested her head back onto the tree trunk as a beautiful spring breeze carried through the air.

"Syaoran," Sakura finally said after a peaceful silence.

"Hm?" He replied.

"What would happen if… oh never mind." Sakura grumbled as she mentally slapped herself for even bringing up the stupid question.

"Happen if what?" Syaoran asked as he opened his eyes and looked Sakura in the eyes.

"Never mind, it's a stupid thought."

"Please, not thought is ever stupid, it's just the person who thinks it."

"Ok fine, I'm stupid." Sakura mumbled.

"You're anything but stupid."

Sakura gasped when she heard those words, she looked Syaoran in the eye to see if he was joking like this morning, but this time, it was for real.

"So, what would happen if…" Syaoran said.

"If we fell in love." Sakura squeaked.

Syaoran looked into her eyes, 'This connects to last night.' He thought.

"Then we'd stay together and I wouldn't dump you for your sister." Syaoran replied, an answer what he truly meant.

Sakura groaned as she lay her head back on the tree trunk as Syaoran secretly admired her beauty.

'So is it love?' he thought.

'Could be.' Said his heart.

'But… I can't be in love… not with her.' Said his stupid brain.

'Please, you can fall in love with anybody! Just be happy it wasn't a boy!'

'Shut up stupid heart!' his brain screamed.

'I can't shut up, if I do, Syaoran won't have blood pumped into his body.'

'YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!' his brain roared.

'Yea, yea I do know what you mean Brainy, all I'm saying is that if Syaoran thinks he loves her, than he probably does. Geez, I mean that Saru monkey lady is hardly beautiful!'

'THEY LOOK THE SAME HEARTY!' brain yelled.

'No, Sakura has a sexy personality and matching eyes, Saru's just an ugly money.'

Syaoran's brain snorted, 'Monkey's look better.'

'My point exactly. Now Syaoran, you probably love her, what do you think that wedding dream meant? When you have a dream like that, and since your Clow Master, it's probably a premonition.' Said the heart as his mental battle ended.

Syaoran sighed as he shut his eyes again.

'Mental battle with Brain and Heart, and the Heart came through… I dunno… I don't… love her? It's only been three weeks.'

"But that's enough." He whispered.

"What's enough?" Sakura asked.

"Oh nothing, just thinking about the Li Clan and how they need a mistress soon."

Sakura nodded, "I see."

Just then the bell rung and Sakura and Syaoran parted to get to their classes.

.-After School -.

Sakura walked out, not finding her boyfriend anywhere.

"Where is he?" She growled to her self. They were supposed to walk home today and he had no Soccer practice today. Suddenly, she felt warm and familiar arms wrap around her waist. That being placed soft kisses on her neck.

"Aww, not kiss on the lips?" Sakura joked.

Syaoran chuckled as he turned her around and gave her a small peck on the lips, "No show for the school you here."

Sakura pouted but then laughed it off.

Suddenly, Saru and Tomoyo appeared out of nowhere.

"SAKURA! WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?" Tomoyo yelled, manically.

"Syaoran's place. Oh boy was it fun." Sakura grinned.

"SAY WHAT?" Tomoyo screamed as she looked between Sakura and Syaoran.

"Sakura-chan," Tomoyo started accusingly. Syaoran was about to say something but then Tomoyo made him laugh, "Can I make the baby clothes?"

"Of course, only if that happened last night."

"Aw nuts. Oh well, I designed a dress for you, come over RIGHT now to try it on. It's for Spring Fling. And you Li-san, I have a matching suit for you too! Eriol-kun and you are probably the same size so I'm all good."

Sakura cocked an eyebrow, "Eriol-kun? Since when?"

Tomoyo blushed, "Since you went to Hong Kong."

"Oh so while Diamond killed us all you were playing off with Eriol?" Sakura asked laughing.

"Oh has she ever!" Eriol called as he ran over to them.

"So Tomoyo, can I be godmother?" Sakura joked.

Syaoran and her burst into laughter as Eriol and Tomoyo blushed.

Saru advanced towards Sakura but Sakura glared at her and walked towards Tomoyo, "Sure, let's go. If it's okay with Syao-kun." Sakura said sweetly.

"Baby anything's alright with me, if it's got to do with you." Syaoran smirked as he winked at her.

"Flirt. Let's go." Tomoyo laughed as the Limo pulled up. Sakura and Syaoran got in, not giving Saru a second sparing glance. Eriol had to hold in laugh and Tomoyo giggled softly.

.-Tomoyo's Mansion -.

"Now that I've been to Syaoran's place, this doesn't seem all that big." Sakura said as she walked in and straight to Tomoyo's Model room. It was a room with a cat walk and everything.

"Right here, Sakura in there, Eriol and Syaoran there, Eriol tell him what to wear."

"What does he wear?" Eriol asked.

"Number 53."

Syaoran's eyes bulged as Eriol dragged him into a room. Sakura and Tomoyo walked into a different room as Tomoyo handed a bag to her.

"I didn't really make it. I bought the dress actually and just touched it up."

"Aw, Tomoyo-chan, you really shouldn't have."

"I'll just take out the not and keep it as you really should have." Tomoyo laughed as she handed Sakura her outfit.

Sakura put it on and laughed, she actually liked this dress. It was a mini-pink skirt that reached mid-thigh. It had a black shirt that Tomoyo touched up. It was tight but one sleeve was missing to basically it was one sleeve only. Her right hand had no sleeve on it, but half way down she had a sleeve from her elbow down. Tomoyo gave her baby blue high heels that tied up.

Sakura's eyes widened, "Oh dear god, this is so… pretty."

"Isn't it? The shirt had two sleeves, but I cut the right hand off, shortened it and adjusted it so it was an add on sleeve."

Sakura hugged Tomoyo and laughed, "This is the best! I love you to bits Tomoyo!"

"Me too! Come on, Li's outfit is waiting!"

Sakura laughed as Tomoyo undid Sakura's bun, letting it fall. It dried up and it was in small waves and curls.

"Oh wow, this matches the outfit." Tomoyo admired as they left the room, meeting Syaoran and Eriol standing on the catwalk.

Syaoran was wearing a tight black muscle shirt with short sleeves. He had white track pants on, and near the left pocket, was SAKURA sewn in pink.

Syaoran gaped as Sakura walked out.

"Wow… now I have to say, these are my favourite pants and those are my favourite clothes that you own."

Sakura giggled as she stepped up onto the catwalk.

"But can I dance in these heels?" Sakura asked.

"Yea, just don't crush my feet." Syaoran chuckled.

Sakura laughed, "I might as well!"

Tomoyo went goggle eyed. "Wai! For a fake couple, you two sure act real!"

Syaoran looked at Tomoyo in shock, "You two know?"

Sakura giggled, "Yea they know alright."

Syaoran laughed, "That's a shocker!"

"So Sakura, pack up the dress and take it with you. If I'm guessing right, you're staying with Li until Spring Fling?"

Sakura shrugged, "I dunno, if it's okay with Syaoran, I wanna stay the night and then figure something out."

"You can stay 'till Spring Fling. Saru's also giving me a piss off."

Sakura smiled as she hugged Syaoran, "Ok, I'm changing. Tomoyo can your driver drop us at his apartment?"

"Sure Mimi can."

Syaoran looked at Tomoyo, "Your driver's name is also Mimi?"

Tomoyo giggled, "Yea, Kai and Saru liked that name so they named their daughter after her."

"Ok, I'm hungry!" Sakura wailed. They all laughed.

.- Apartment -.

It was late now, 2am in the morning and Sakura and Syaoran were still watching movies on T.V.

"Syaoran, I'm tired."

"Me too, let's go to bed." He said as they got up. Sakura changed in the bathroom as Syaoran in his room. She walked back and crawled into bed as he turned off the light. He got into bed and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"So, today's act was super realistic." Sakura said.

Syaoran frowned, "Whoever said I was acting?" He asked.

Sakura gasped, "What do you mean?" she asked.

Syaoran shook his head, "Never mind, go to sleep." He said. He kissed her forehead as she almost instantly fell asleep as she shut her eyes.

Just as Syaoran was sure Sakura was absolutely asleep he added to his last sentence, "Everything I did today, I meant it all… even the kisses."

He shut his eyes and sighed, 'I think I do love her.' He thought as he too fell asleep.

.- Day of Spring Fling: Sunday -.

Sakura was awake early today. Syaoran was still sleeping. Sakura slept over all weekend, her family called her cell phone and she told them that she was sleeping over at Tomoyo's house but she went to visit her boyfriend, Syaoran.

Saru called Sakura but she didn't answer.

Yesterday, it was Saturday, and Sakura and Syaoran woke up at 2pm since they went to bed at 2am. For the rest of they day they watched Anime movies.

Now Sakura took a shower and let her hair to air dry. She ate a small breakfast, a bowl of fruit salad. By then Syaoran came out and took his shower.

"So what do we do?" he asked as they finished eating their Fruity breakfast.

"I gotta go to the parlour. The entire dance starts at 5."

Syaoran nodded as he did take her to the parlour. Sakura got her hair curled and got light makeup applied. She had eyeliner and some lip-gloss.

Finally it was time for the dance.

Tomoyo's limo picked up Sakura and Syaoran. They walked up to the gate as they had their clothes on.

Tomoyo was wearing a soft violet summer dress that was strapless. She had flip-flops on and makeup was done like Sakura's.

"Tomoyo, Eriol go in." Sakura said.

"Why?" Eriol asked. He had a tuxedo on.

"I have to talk to Syaoran." Sakura whispered.

They nodded as they walked in. Sakura turned to Syaoran and sighed, "Saru's gonna ask you." She said finally.

Syaoran's eyes widened, "How do you know?"

"It's a sister thing."

"But…"

"And magic too… so I did your part of the deal, now you have to do my part." She said.

"Your part? You mean the favour?"

Sakura nodded, "Yes, I have my favour ready Syaoran."

"What is it?" He asked, his heart thundering, wondering what she's gonna asked.

Sakura took a deep breath, "I want you too…"


I know you want me to continue, but that's just not possible! HAHAHAH! You have to stay tuned to find out what Sakura's favour is!

I'm one evil authoress… aw well! You can hate me all you want but it won't make me update any faster… it'll make me sadder though.
