(a/n) I'm really sorry guys... sometimes I just need a brief break for every chapter I upload... lol! I'm trying to think up of lots of things to do in this story but my brain is not helping... so I'll gladly take any suggestions you may have and would like to be used in the story.

Crazy First Love

Chapter 9 - Sportivity

School afternoon, study hall (library)

"Ahh... so it's that time of year already!" Eriol said with a sparkle in his eyes.

"What's it to you?" Syaoran said boringly.

"It's always a fun event! We all get to see competitions... if you know what I mean."

Syaoran raises an eyebrow at him. "Did you just say what I think you just said?"

"I don't know. What do you think I just said?" he said innocently.

"Ah--nevermind," he smirked. "You're really weird whenever this event pops up."

"The reason for that would be because..." he began and then stopped glancing over to the girls who were talking with one another.

"Oh... what the--you're the last person that I expected to hear that from, Eriol."

"Hmm... can't judge a book by it's cover. Besides, I'm planning most of the event plans. This year's Athletic Sporting Event will totally rock!"

"Yeah, whatever you say... nothing is ever new though."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Me and Sakura always win at each one and we never finish our matches because of the ties," he yawned and picked up a book from the desk. "And this time Meilin is here too," he sighed.

"Ohhh! Now THAT is something that'll make this year even MORE interesting..." Eriol grinned. Syaoran mindlessly slapped him in the back of the head. "What the hell was that for?"

"For being a dumbass. So when is the die date for the event this time?"

"Hmm... to make everyone more excited... a day after tomorrow. I already had everything planned since last year," he said cheerfully. Syaoran stared at him.

"You are such an obsessor."

Girls side

"So, what sport are you taking up for the events this year, Sakura?" Tomoyo asked excitedly.

"Huh?" she snapped out of her daze.

"C'mon! Concentrate! We're supposed to be giving in a report by tomorrow aren't we?" Meilin said stressfully.

"Oh, sorry. But really, what event this year, Sakura?" Tomoyo said.

"Eh... I'm not sure... maybe some archery?" she said uncertainly.

Tomoyo gasped in excitement, "Oh my God, that would be so cool! Archery has always been a girl's sport."

"Yeah but sometimes it's hard," Meilin said as she wrote in her notebook while holding a book in the other hand, looking up and down from it.

"I agree. But it's fun, nonetheless," Sakura said as she began to do the same thing. Tomoyo grinned.

"I wonder who might be the Archer of the year this time then... remember their champion from last year?"

"Oh, that guy. I don't know about beating him. He was pretty good. What's his name... Kaito?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, he's a senior this year. He said he wanted to retire his position with some fun this time."

Meilin brought her attention up from the books. "That might be fun! Maybe we should enter."

"Huh? Oh, uh, sure. I'm planning on going," she said.

"But just one thing. Do you know how many events there will be in archery?"

"I think there are several levels for it... aiming at targets all the time. If you get to the last level, moving targets. THat's what Eriol said anyway."

"Eriol's planning? Why?" Meilin asked.

"Uhh... he's part of the festival commitee. So he's the planner for the events."

"Oh."

2 days later, Athletic Sporting Event (a/n - I kno i rushed it but nothing really happens unless you jus wanted to hear about how they handed their assignment in to their teacher. lol)

Archery area

Sakura looked around to see lots of people with bows and arrows with them. Of course, some guys stared at her as she walked by them to the signup booth.

"Hi, I'd like to enter the archery event," she said to the girl behind the booth. (a/n - like those carnival events... or the movie theater things.)

"Okay, please sign here then," the girl said handing over a piece of paper to her and a pen. She took it and signed her name. "And you can get the equipment over at the equipment booth over there."

"Thanks," she replied and walked over to the other booth with the slip she was just given.

"Hey there! Here for the archery stuff?" the guy behind the booth said. She nodded. He then rummaged through under the booth desk and pulled out a bow and arrows. "Here and I'll take that slip."

She gives him the slip, taking the equipment and walked over to the competing crowd and took a seat on the bench. A guy is seen standing up from the bench with a microphone in hand. He stood next to the booth she was just in.

"Okay folks, here is the archery event, where the most accurate shooters are sure winners!" he announced. "We won't waste anytime on my babbling so let's just get this event started!"

The crowd surrounding the archery area applauded.

"Okay, our first competitor... our last year's champion, Kuruba Kaito!" (a/n - maybe some may notice i coundlt think of a name so i just took the one from Kid the Phantom Theif. lol!)

A dirty blonde colored hair guy stodd from the bench with the equipment in his hand and stoof behind the white line to his target, which was about 15 meters away. He swiftly moved his arm behind him grabbing an arrow and stretched the string on the bow, aiming. After a brief moment, he immediately let go and sent the arrow straight at the middle red dot. The people applauded. Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Man, this is going to be a bit boring... and where's Meilin?" she thought. She looked around and then spotted her among the crowd and she rose from her seat to her.

"Meilin!"

"Huh? Oh, hi Sakura!" Meilin greeted. "What's up?"

"I thought you were entering the competition with me!"

"Oh, no, I suck at archery. I almost hit someone with the real thing before and I'd rather NOT go through the mess again..."

"Don't forget about me!" Tomoyo's voice came. She had ran over to where they were. "I'm here to film the precious moments of Sakura's skill."

"Eh... okay..."

"Next competitor... Kinomoto Sakura!"

"Oh! That's me. Catch you guys later!" Sakura said in a hurry running back to the shooting area. Everyone grew quiet and some guys, again, stared in awe. She breathed slowly and pulled an arrow out from her back.

She slowly pulled back the bow, stretching the string and had begun staring blankly at her target. Mentally, she drowned out the voices around her. This was normally a habit when she wanted to concentrate in sports. (a/n - from my imagination, you'd think she'd look drunk at the moment. lol!)

"..." She immediately let go and snapped back to reality to see the arrow pierce the target perfectly in the middle.

"Cool," was all she could say as the people applauded her.

"Haha! That was so cool!" Tomoyo said with sparkle in her eyes and holding her camera recording Sakura.

"Damn, I missed it!" Syaoran grunted after arriving with Eriol tagging behind him.

"Syaoran!" Meilin said giving him a hug.

"Get OFF me woman!" he cried as he tried to pry her off him. Sakura turned to where her friends were at the same time he arrived. Just when she was about to call him, she saw Meilin give him a hug. Suddenly her expression changed into a slight depression. No, it doesn't matter. She's his fiancee, I'm just a friend...

She knew she was denying her brain's thoughts. She shook it off as there were still a few more rounds. Hmm... maybe I could actually use the competition for some anger management... she grinned turning back to the bench.

"Now, we begin round 2, semifinals! Competitors that had failed to hit the target, you know the deal! Those who didn't step up to the new targets!"

She looked up and saw them bring up a machine. "Huh? Moving targets?"

"Yeah, someone decided to make this year quick," Kaito said taking his position next to her. He gave a friendly smile.

"Oh," she said as she looked at him. Up close, he was pretty cool looking. She smiled too.

"You're new right?" he asked.

"Yeah. Just trying for once. Archery was also said... to be a woman's sport too."

"True." They both laughed. Syaoran raised an eyebrow over to them as Meilin finally got off him. What the hell is that guy doing with Sakura? Flirting? He was about to go over there but his mind kicked in to remind him that was a competitor area. He sighed and frowned.

"This is going to be a long event this year," he sighed.

"Very true," Eriol grinned. Tomoyo nodded in agreement. Meilin, well, clung to Syaoran. He rolled his eyes.
