Crazy First Love

Chapter 10 - Competition

"Moving targets this year have changed a bit... you'll be shooting 3 targets at once! And finals, you'll have to wait and see!"

Sakura sighed. "Great, this year is my first time. I might end up hurting someone... and I don't mean with arrows," she said glaring at Eriol who smiled nervously.

"I'm sure you'll do fine," Kaito said positively. He then took out several arrows at once, stretching them, aiming with his bow.

"You can do that?" she asked slightly amused.

"Yeah, archery has been a main sport thing in my family."

"Cool. Think I can try that too?"

"Sure," he said. She took outt 3 arrows from her back and adjusted them on the bow, aiming. "Remember though, with moving targets, there's a timing reaction you need or you'll just miss."

"Uhhh, okay..."

Everyone one else who had made it looked a bit nervous. They were the one ones that seemed preoccupied.

"Okay, take your positions, people! They're about to let the disks fly!"

"Disks? They're using disks?" she said in awe.

Kaito laughed. "Don't be surprised. It would be better than last year's 'rolling' targets. It wasn't much fun," he said slightly amused.

"Easy for you to say. You won this 3 years straight...and about to win the 4th one," she sighed.

"Hmm..."

A gunshot had gone off signalling they were starting and she already sprung her arms quickly to aim as the disks went flying from the machine. She closed one eye leaving the other to help her aim. Timing... is all I need. The instant the disk was about 3 meters away with others to follow, she had already let go sending the arrows flying right at them. Surprising and to everyone's delight, it hit quite accurately. Kaito stared for a second.

"Well, maybe I have some comptetition this year," he said as he shot off his arrows to do the same thing. Everyone stared at the two of them since no one else really hit even one.

She laughed nervously. "Eh... I guess... but I'm just lucky! Really!"

"Oh? Then I must be losing mine," he said smiling. She slightly blushed. Oh boy... he DOES look cute though... wait, what am I suposed to be doing? She snapped from her thoughts.

"That was wonderful! But sadly only you two got through the requirements... Err, anyway, everyone else, off the field! And get the horses for the finals!"

"Oh no... now it's horses," she said with dread.

"Why? Afraid?"

"Not that I didn't like horses... just afraid of how high I have to get to be on them."

"Oh," he said but he then smiled. "Well, I could help you." They brought out the horses in front of them.

"Huh? Hey!" she said when he picked her up. She turned red at the thought his hand was on her waist. I didn't even let Syaoran get that far! She felt nervous at the thought. She finally got on the horse.

"There, all settled?" he laughed.

"Uhh, yeah, thanks," she said in a nervous wreck. He got on his horse. Syaoran gritted his teeth in annoyance when he saw his hands on her. What the hell is this?

"Okay, so, this year's finals are simple; ride a horse AND shooting at moving targets."

She dropped her jaw. "what!"

"No worries! You did fine a few minutes ago."

She didn't say anything. She wanted to stress in silence. Now I have to think how I'm going to NOT fall off... She sighed.

Sakura gripped the straddle of the horse.

"Okay, now, ready? Get ready for one of the most exciting parts of the event 'cause here it comes! Competitors, start getting the horses to run around for a bit before we start!"

She gulped and then slightly got the horse to start walking and slightly began run around the area along with Kaito on the other side. When she saw him pull out his arrows she looked around to see the assistants getting ready to shoot the disks. She sighed heavily as she pulled out the arrows taking aim by streching the bow.

Again she mentally shut out the noises around her and concentrated. Don't fall off... She hesitated a bit when the horses got a bit faster but at a steady pace, nonetheless. They set off the disks and her hand slipped, letting an arrow go. Oh son of a-- (a/n - lol, I was trying not to really curse but... okay, once in awhile)

To her and everyone's surprise and delight, it actually hit. She sighed relief. But she didn't stop. Neither did her competitor. Kaito reached at his back but realization hit him. Out of arrows? He then saw Sakura nail the last disk and slowed the horse down.

"Finally!" she cried as everyone clapped and she was down with a sigh. But she then looked down and shudder. Stupid heights...

"Need help?" Kaito said as he jumped off his ride.

"Uhm... yes..." she said feeling herself turn red again.

"Here, just swing your other leg over to this side and I'll catch you."

She nodded and slipped her leg from the other side and accidently lost her hold on the straddle to the horse. "AHH!"

She was just about to fall backwards but felt a pair of arms catch her before impact. She opened her eyes to see Kaito with a smile inches from her face.

"Relax, I said I would catch you."

"Sakura! You alright?" Syaoran's voice came with a slight worry and annoyance tone to it, in her opinion.

"Yeah, I'm okay," she said getting up and brushing off some of the dirt on her pants.

Kaito then nodded and took the trophy on the booth he was next to, handing it to Sakura. "As for you... Congratulations on beating me in the finals," he said gently and gave her a peck on the cheeks. Syaoran raised an eybrow. Tomoyo was holding her camera in place at the right moment as Eriol had to stifle his laughter. Of course, Meilin was there... next to Syaoran. Sakura thgouth she was coming up with a fever.

"Uhhh... thanks?" she said uncertainly, taking the trophy. Kaito just smiled and took a glance at his watch.

"Oh! I have to get to the next sporting event. Soccer is next. See ya later!" he said in a rush. Syaoran then grinned. Eriol eyed him suspiciously.

"Syaoran?" he asked cautiously. "You're in the soccer event too...aren't you?"

"Yeah I am," he smirked. Eriol sighed. Oh boy.
