I'm sorry to change it to R all of a sudden like this But hopefully you'll keep reading anyway… And I'm apologizing in advance how it opens up, but maybe you'll like it :p

I'm also SO SORRY about how late this is... I've been super busy with exams and Christmas, and I haven't even started writing the next chapter!!

On paper this is four pages, front and back… (If you want me to count each as a page, then 8)

And an Author's Note so you will understand something before you get to it: Kangaroo's Paw is not an actual kangaroo paw. It is a type of flower used in a shampoo that smells very, very good...in my opinion anyway. Just so you guys won't get confused

Recap:

Sakura slipped off her clothes once the door was shut—not locked—and brushed through her hair, turning on the water and waited for it to heat up. While she showered, Sakura was too pre-occupied to notice the door was clear glass and didn't fog up enough to make a difference. Her mind was too busy thinking of other things. 'Screw the towels I should just call him in like I need something. Then…seduce him.' The thought again, aloud. "Like I need to seduce him. It's Xiaolang." She rolled her eyes, and was about to call for him when she looked and gasped.

Chapter 9: Did you do it?!

"I'm sorry I can't keep some promises too well," Syaoran said, opening his shower door. He couldn't control himself any more; the opportunity was there, and really, he had nothing to loose. He knew she wanted it too; it was in her eyes the way she'd been looking at him and the way she had been behaving.

Syaoran wrapped his arms around her, closing the door behind him and kissed her full on the lips. He had longed for the gentle feel of her lips again, ravishing them until they were swollen and red. Sakura didn't seem to mind, actually trying to match his fury as she pressed her hips forward, engrossed in how it all felt. Li knew how it felt; he'd done things like this a lot, it seemed. But it was never with this much passion, desire, or love. She was his and no one else's, especially not Eriol's. As he thought about it, he began to grow an erection, bringing itself up against Sakura. The two began exchanging kisses even more frequently as the water fell on their bodies, heating up the moment even more.

Syaoran pulled her even closer to himself, giving her kisses along her jaw to her collar bone, swiftly moving back up to her lips, biting them gently. At this Sakura let out a small groan, pulling herself closer to Syaoran. As he felt her grind herself along his erection he slid one hand up her back, the other up to her breast, teasing her hardened nipple. Sakura in turn latched her mouth onto his earlobe, gently suckling it before moving her mouth to the crook of his neck, biting and sucking on it. Syaoran kept pulling and pinching her nipple, sending wave upon wave of pleasure down her spine, slowly brining his free hand to her center, running a finger through, finding the spot that his her hard.

"Mmnf," Sakura began sucking on his neck even harder as he rubbed around her clit.

Syaoran's finger found its way inside, making Sakura writhe in embarrassment. It all felt so good to her, so right! She was moaning by then, pushed against the wall of the shower with no where else to go. Her breath quickened as her heart had, the walls of her opening clamping down on Syaoran's finger. Sakura pulled his head down and kissed him passionately as he slipped his hand away, pulling her body towards his.

"What kind of shampoo do you want, love?" Syaoran asked in his silky smooth, debonair voice.

Sakura gazed at him for a few seconds before looking at the rack. There were three different scents; jasmine, strawberry, and kangaroo paw. "May I smell them?"

"Of course you can. No need to ask, you know. You're not a child," he told her, kissing her forehead gently.

She took each one, sniffing around the lid and found she liked the Aussie © Kangaroo Paw best; it was fresh and sweet like a wild flower. Syaoran took it, squirting some into the palm of his hand. As he began massaging it into her scalp Sakura stood, mouth open until she realized she was catching water. Hot water. 'I'm…taking a shower. A shower with Li-kun. Syaoran. And he did that to me…and now he's washing my hair!' Sakura was confused and infuriated but happy. 'How did I let it go this far…?' She turned suddenly, and brought her hand up to slap him, only for her wrist to meet his hand, and his lips to meet hers.

It felt right to Sakura and she hated it. She forced herself to hate it, even though she knew in her heart she loved him. "I do…love you," Sakura gasped out in a hoarse whisper, thinking she had only thought it to herself."

Syaoran stopped, his lips on her neck and hen nibbled her ear. "I love you too, Sakura-chan."

"Hoooeee??!!" Sakura slipped from the surprise of hearing his words. "I-I said that out loud?!"

"Are you okay?!" Syaoran blurted at the same time, picking her up.

They both paused, opened their mouths, closed them again and finally Li put Sakura under the water and rinsed her hair, watching the suds fall down her slender figure. This was all his now and he loved her so much, and no matter how much he wanted to take her, right then and there, he knew he couldn't. Then he realized Sakura had begun to lean into him when the shampoo was rinsed away.

"Hey, Sakura-chan-"

"Let me do it," she mumbled, shampoo in hand as she reached up and washed his hair with the strawberry scent.

Eriol and Tomoyo were growing restless. The had been waiting for a long time and thought maybe someone would come out of Li's room to take a shower in the other bathroom. But then there were those sounds occasionally coming from his room…

"Eriol-kun! What if they're…doing it in there?" Tomoyo asked in a shaky voice, squirming up to him and cuddling into his lap.

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure that won't happen. Sakura is too shy for that kind of thing. She won't do it until she's married." He paused. "He is her special someone though…" Eriol began to wonder. The two hadn't seen one another in so long. And Yelan must be furious at him now. Eriol groaned and then thought of the little angel beneath him.

"Don't worry me like that. What do you mean by 'special someone'? They barely know each other!"

Shit. She didn't remember, did she?

"Tomoyo, Syaoran used to live in Tomoeda with us. You may not remember, but it's true. They loved each other even then," he sighed while looking down at her, smiling.

"I love you Eriol, even if you do lie," Tomoyo said, bringing her head towards his, slowly closing her eyes.

"Uh…Guess I shouldn't be back here yet!" Sakura said, turning back to Syaoran's room.

The two lovers on the couch were instantly at opposite ends, a deep flush on their cheeks. "It's okay!" they both yelled in unison.

Syaoran walked out, pulling Kinomoto along with his hand on her waist. Surprisingly to the two on the couch, both of the brunettes had wet hair, and Sakura's lips were unusually swollen.

Tomoyo raised her eyebrow, "Sakura-chan…did you and Li-san have fun in there?" Her tone was teasing but serious, making the emerald eyes of her friend widen.

"N-n-no! Nothing like that!"

"Are you sure?!" Tomoyo stood up.

"No, we messed around a bit and took a shower together. It was really fun," Syaoran grinned, sticking his tongue out. The other three's jaws dropped.

"You rat!" Sakura jumped him and was about to slap him once she had him on the ground but Li caught her arms, brought them behind her back and kissed her lips softly, brushing his tongue along them.

"Oh GOD! Get a room, please! You two are pathetic, you know that?" Hiiragizawa said, grabbing Tomoyo and pulling her out the front door, Squishy following, a little confused.

"Xiaolang, please!" Sakura whispered and he let her go. They were away from each other at once, an odd smile on Syaoran's lips.

"You're so cute when you're mad, Saki-chan," he said, following after the other couple to apologize.

'Ugh! He can be so…so…rude and mean and a pervert and so damn hot! Wait, hot? Did I just think that? But…he is and I…I love you Xiaolang.' Sakura blushed, a dreamy look on her face.

--

"Ar ar!" Squishy barked, jumping up and down while trying to grab his special treat. Voices giggled in the background but Squishy ignored them, trying even harder to conquer his foe. "Armph!"

Hands clapped as Squishy successfully grabbed his treat and started gobbling it down.

"I guess he's cute…" Li mumbled, earning a sharp nudge in his chest from Eriol's elbow.

"Squishy. Is. Cute. Don't think otherwise," Eriol told him flatly, his deep eyes gazing intently at Tomoyo as he spoke.

"You really love her, don't you? You two are cute together, you know? Maybe you should stop endangering your relationship and start telling the truth…" Syaoran informed his cousin, walking over to his honey-brown haired angel. "Sakuraa"

Hiiragizawa watched the two intently, eyes flickering for a moment as eh thought over his friend's strong words. Thinking it through a little more than planned, he was suddenly jerked back to reality when he found a pale, small framed body with fluffy lavender hair attacked to his torso, staring into his face.

"What are you thinking about, dear?"

"Ah…well. That is…" He watched her frown. "I need…to speak to you in private as soon as possible." He voice drifted off, arms wrapping around her and holding her close.

"What's wrong, Eriol-kun? What is it?" Concern paled her face. He couldn't take it anymore.

"I have done horrible things, Tomoyo-chan. And all in vain as I have come to realize. I'm so sorry," he began to cry, burying his face into the crook of her neck.

Dazed and confused she tightened her grip around him, leaning her head against his.

Li and Kinomoto disappeared at this, hoping everything would be alright. As they walked away, Syaoran played with her silky hair, the pig tailed she had put up and then let his hand roam down, lightly caressing her neck and found the string to a necklace, stopping his movement.

"Sakura is this--"

"Yes," she cut him off. "It's the key to the cards. I don't have the cards with me, they're at home in Tomoeda. I'm sure Kero is there too. Heh, I miss the old days, Xiaolang." Downtrodden and reminiscent, Sakura took the necklace off and stared at it. "I had this all along, not remembering what it was or where it came from. My memories of it were fake; memories that Eriol had given it to me, with the Cards and a 'plush' Kero."

Gently, Syaoran pulled her close, rubbing noses with her and took the key. "You're so cute. Can you…release it? I just want to see you with it again. For memory's sake."

"…"

"Please? Onegai," he pouted. Sakura just couldn't resist this face and those pleading eyes.

"Fine," she sighed, taking the key from him again, backing away and began to chant. The star and moon seal appeared below her, light shining from almost no where. Sakura held the wand, smiling at Xiaolang.

"You're beautiful." He walked to her again. Since he'd remembered, Syaoran hadn't really been himself. He wanted her, and he made suer she knew. He was saying things he wouldn't ever admit to her. He had the balls to go in the shower with Sakura and do those things. He kept holding her as he was now, and he honestly didn't want to tlet go; didn't want to leave her side.

Syaoran licked her earlobe, sucking it into his mouth. He started kissing down her neck, making her lean her head to the side. "I really do love you Sakura," he said between kisses. "I'm glad you're here. Please…don't…leave," he turned her head to him, lightly kissing her lips, then pressed his forehead against hers, closing his eyes.

Sakura looked at him, unsure of what to say. Her lips parted and her throat suddenly felt dry. "I—Xiaolang, I love you too…"

"Ying-fa," he smiled, brushing noses again. This caused Sakura to look up at him again, smiling. He couldn't help but call her by the Chinese name and he couldn't help but want to take her there. She was the most perfect thing he'd ever laid his eyes on. He wanted to give her the gifts he bought her, but he wouldn't do that until they left for the party. 'I hope she likes them,' he thought.

"I wonder if Tomoyo could make me a new outfit to wear with my wand…I think it would be fun to just have a few days of fighting again. I don't…I don't want to be a normal girl."

"Sakura, you aren't normal," he rolled his eyes. "But I'd be glad to battle with you… Or against you." He winked.
