Wow, I have reached 50 reviews! O.O Thank you guys so much! I've actually been getting a lot of this question: Are you ending it? No, not by any mean, I've still gotta whole lot of stuff to put into this story! So Chapter 12! (Oh and by the way within the next few chapters I'm gonna reveal something about this story, I think it'll be quite a shocker)
Chapter 12- The Letter of Confusion
Sakura was still kind of shocked as he kissed her. His eyes were closed, and she watched him for a minute before closing her eyes. He held her head closer to his as if afraid she would leave at any second. All Sakura could do was stand there, to her nothing else mattered.
'Syaoran has really changed since we first met,' she thought happily and smiled, making Syaoran pull away and laughed as he sat on the bed. 'His laugh is so sweet, like a kid in a teenage body…' "What is it?"
"It's just, when you smiled, I felt you're lips move and it felt funny."
Upon hearing this Sakura laughed as well. "Funny huh? Well, if it'll get you to laugh... RAAAAHHHH!" She jumped on the bed, accidentally landing right no top of him and kissing him. He tried to kiss her back, but he couldn't because he was laughing. Neither had noticed the position they were in, nor did they notice that Eriol and Tomoyo had opened the door quietly and had been leaning against the doorway for the past 2 minutes.
"Ahem, are we interrupting anything Sakura?" Tomoyo grinned, and Sakura pulled her mouth away from him. Tomoyo coughed and pointed to both of them. Sakura looked down and finally realized what it looked like.
"GAH!" She quickly jumped off of him, and blushed. Eriol and Tomoyo were both laughing hysterically. Sakura and Syaoran were both blushing deeply.
Tomoyo walked up to Sakura, grinning slyly. "And just what were you doing?" Sakura noticed that the lip gloss Tomoyo usually wore was faded. She looked confused for a minute, but then looked at Eriol.
'Hmmm,' she gave Eriol a suspicious look and marched up to Eriol, putting her eyes very close to his lips. She then smirked. "I should ask you the same question; it would seem Eriol is wearing the exact type of lip gloss YOU usually wear… Now just how did it get there?" At this Tomoyo looked away. "HAH! I KNEW IT!"
"Sakura, shut up!" Tomoyo laughed and ran after her. Sakura laughed as well and ran out of the room and out of the house. Tomoyo ran after her. Eriol sighed as they left and sat next to Syaoran.
"So you really like her, huh?" Eriol asked in a serious tome.
"What are you talking about?" Syaoran asked, pretending to be oblivious.
"I mean Sakura, don't lie I heard you laughing, I saw you kissing her!"
"What's it matter to you anyway?" Syaoran was getting annoyed. "My love life is none of your business!"
"So you DO like her!" Eriol laughed. "It's kind of obvious dude. So tell me what's up?
Syaoran sighed. "Fine, but I am only going to tell you this once and only once, and if you ever dare to repeat it, I will kill you, I swear I will." At this Eriol gulped. "Yah I like her, from the moment I met her I was subconsciously hoping she would talk to me. I wanted to get to know her, I wanted her to save me, to help me, and she has done all of that and more. I am closer to her than I am to any other person in this world, nothing will tear me from her." He sighed in content.
Eriol chuckled to himself. "It's about time the ice that surrounds you got melted, and I couldn't think of a better girl to do that except for Sakura."
There was an awkward silence for a few moments, and then Syaoran coughed. "So…Have you seen the new nunjistu katana? It's lighter then normal katanas and is very strong like normal katanas, and sharper then you can imagine making it worthy of cutting through just about anything."(thanx for the help Sosuke!)
Eriol laughed. "So of course we need to get back talking about manly things?"
"Yes, I got way too sensitive, I wanna puke."
Sakura and Tomoyo ran in holding their sides and laughing while breathing hard. "You almost- got me back there!" Sakura was still breathing hard and Tomoyo laughed.
"So did you have fun without us?" Tomoyo asked, sitting on the other side of Eriol.
"Yah what'd you guys talk about?" Sakura smiled and sat next to Syaoran. Syaoran blushed as she smiled.
"N-nothing…" Syaoran replied softly.
"Hm?" Sakura looked at her watch. "Oh no I told Dad I was gonna be home tonight…" She gets up and begins to walk out when Eriol grabs her hand.
"I think Syaoran should walk you home," he said. Sakura blushed and Syaoran glared at Eriol, who smugly smirked back.
"Fine," Syaoran agreed, answering though gritted teeth. "I'll take Sakura home. Let's go Sakura." He and Sakura walked out of the house and began their journey home.
"Hey are you okay? You seem different ever since Eriol and Tomoyo walked in earlier…" she said when they were out of the house.
"I'm fine…" Syaoran replied. 'They just ruined my chances of building up the courage to tell you what I wanted to tell you…' He thought, obviously annoyed.
They were quiet until they reached Sakura's house where they said good bye to each other. Sakura ran to her room and looked out of the window to see Syaoran walking home. She smiled, then grabbed a piece of paper and a pen….
A few hours had passed and Syaoran was bored out of his mind, all he would hear was Eriol and Tomoyo flirt with each other. "Get a room," He finally said.
"But we're IN a room!" Eriol retorted and Syaoran rolled his eyes. He left that room and went to the kitchen. Just as he was about to eat, he heard a soft knock at the front door. He answered it and was hugged by none other than Sakura.
"What are you doing here?" He looked at her strangely.
"I'm bored at my house and I knew I'd have fun here, so here I am! But I can't stay for long… Where's Tomoyo?"
"She and Eriol are flirting, it'd be best for your stomach if you didn't disturb them.
Sakura laughed. "Oh I see, then what do you want to do?"
"Get outta here." Sakura grabbed his hand and led him outside.
"Well, we're outta there," She laughed as they stood in front of the door. She looked at the sky to see the full moon illuminating the stars as if helping them to shine brighter. "The sky looks so wonderful, not a cloud or anything…" She walked into the front yard and laid on her back in the grass in order to look up at the sky.
Syaoran followed her and laid down beside her. "Why are we just laying here?"
"Because it's peaceful," she answered in a care-free manner as though all worries had vanished from the face of the earth. They began to make strange pictures using the stars and over the course of that time, Sakura's hand had moved closer to Syaoran's. Finally, they touched, and she gripped her hand in his. She felt a firm squeeze in return.
'I should tell her now… But I can't…I'm too afraid….' The only thing he could do was hold her hand, and even then he was worried about ho she felt. But hey, SHE went for HIS hand, right? So she MUST fell the same way! 'Unless she's doing it to be nice…' Syaoran was driving himself crazy. He was unsure of what to do until she stood up to leave. "Hey, its dark outside now, I should walk you home again…"
"Sakura laughed. "You forget who you're talking to, I am Sakura Kinomoto, Clow Master! I don't need anyone to walk me home… But for you I'll make an exception." Syaoran grinned.
When they reached her house, he got the nerve to ask. "Sakura I…I wanted to- uh…." Sakura gave him a confused look, then shrugged and hugged him.
"Bye Syaoran," She said and ran into her house. Little did she know she dropped a piece of paper. Syaoran tried to tell her, but by the time he had picke dit up she was already in her house.
He looked at the paper. It was folded like a letter, but it wasn't addressed to anybody. He opened it up and at the top it read 'Tomoyo'. Syaoran was now faced with a decision, he was given an opportunity not many boys are given. He held in his hands a letter written to a girl, from a girl. Who would pass such a chance up? 'Now I'll see if she says anything about me in there…' He read the whole thing, but with each word his eyes grew wider, he looked crazily at the letter, then read it over and over to make sure he wasn't just seeing things. His hands were shaking, his eyes were welling, though he wouldn't admit it, he was getting ready to cry… (Sorry guys I know it's short, but I really wanna leave it at a cliffhanger!)
