Chapter 6

Strawberry

"Ha! Finally out." Syaoran shouted as he took his arm that is still wrap on Sakura's shoulder as they reached the outside if their school.

"Yeah, finally I can go home now." Sakura said as she turns her back.

"See you tomorrow then." She started walking when Syaoran hold her wrist making her stop.

"What?" She asked him wondering what he wanted.

"Hey, you can't just leave" He commanded her as he drags her along with him.

"What the hell are you doing Syaoran Li! Let go of me!" Syaoran smirk at her then stop.

"Ok, now he's really freaking me out." She thought as she glares at him.

"Oh come on, you can't just leave, I promised I'll take you home." Syaoran said in a childish tone.

"No thank you, if taking me home means, you dragging me all the way home then I'm fine by myself." Sakura started walking again when Syaoran hold her wrist again making her stop once more.

"Ok Syaoran, would you stop it?" She said as she snatched her hand from him and look at him with annoyance.

"What the hell's wrong with him?" Sakura wonder as she continues looking at him.

"Just shut up!" Syaoran shouted making Sakura take a step backwards.

"You're being so stubborn, I just want you to join me get some ice cream." Sakura's face soften.

"Oh you should've just told me earlier." She smiled making Syaoran blush.

"Hey, she's really cute when she's smiling." He thought as he looks at her again. "Quit it Syaoran what the hell do you think you're thinking." Syaoran shook his head trying to get the thoughts out his head then look at her.

"You wouldn't even try listening to me so how do you expect me to?" He argue.

"And how do you expect me to listen to someone who's freaking the hell out of me by dragging me?" She glare at him making him glare back at her.

"Fine!" He give up. "Then would you like some ice cream or not?" He looked at her annoyed.

"Only if you treat me." She said as she looks at him with a say-yes-or-you're-dead look.

"Hey, what's with the annoying look?" He thought as he grin at her.

"No way, I'm not treating you." Syaoran said coldly.

"You're so mean." Sakura said as she stuck out her tongue.

"I know you have money, so why not buy for yourself?" He started walking again as she follows him.

"And do you have any ideas how much those flowers cost?" He pointed on a paper bag that Sakura's carrying. Inside it was the bouquet of flowers Syaoran gave her.

"Hey! I never asked you to give me these." She said holding the paper bag with flowers infront of her.

"I know and I bought it without you asking for it, so shouldn't you be more grateful?"

"Fine, thank you, happy?" She looks at him.

"No, it's ok, I didn't buy it to make you happy anyway," Syaoran smirk.

"Yeah I know, you bought this so you can annoy Eriol right?"

"Yup! I just love seeing him get so angry, and when I remember his face earlier, I never regret that I bought those flowers." He said as if reminiscing Eriol's face.

"I don't understand why you don't like him. He's actually nice." Sakura said.

"You call that nice? He's so not nice. He's really annoying that's what." He said annoyed by the fact that Sakura's defending Eriol.

"Fine, whatever." Sakura reply as they reached the park.

-Park-

When they arrived, they went to the ice cream stand to buy their ice cream.. Then they sat on the swing to eat it.

"Why do you like that? I think it tastes weird." Syaoran said as he looks at Sakura's strawberry flavored Popsicle as if with disgust.

"Hey! It actually tastes good you should try eating it, you always buy chocolate flavor don't you get tired o-" Sakura was cut when she and Syaoran seem to notice something.

"Déjà vu?" The two of them thought.

-Flashback-

A 7 years old Sakura ran to the swing after she had bought her favorite strawberry flavored ice cream.

"Come on Syaoran, you're so slow my ice cream is melting." Syaoran sat on the other swing beside her.

"You should've already eaten it if it's melting, you don't have to wait for me.'

"But you said we'll eat ice cream together right?" She started licking the melting drops.

"Ok ok…anyway why do you like that I mean it tastes weird." He said as he look at her strawberry flavored popsicle as if with disgust.

"Hey! It's not that bad you should try it sometimes and you always buy chocolate flavor don't you get tired of it?" She said as she took another lick from her Popsicle. Syaoran smiled at her.

"No Sakura it's just like you, you're always there but I never get tired being with you." He smiled again as she smile back.

"I never get tired being with you too Syaoran."

-End of flashback.-

Sakura blushed as well as Syaoran as the two of them remembered.

"Darn, why do I have to remember that?." The two of them thought.

Syaoran looked at Sakura as she did the same then quickly look the other way.

"Why do I feel this way? She's not that same Sakura I've known." Syaoran thought as he finishes his ice cream.

"Damn it, my stupid hearts beating so fast, what's wrong with me? Of course he's not that same Syaoran I used to know." She thought as she stand up and look at him.

"Hey, I'm going home now, It's getting really late, nii-chan will probably scold me." She smile nervously at him then started walking.

"Ok, I'll walk you then." Syaoran said as he followed her.

"And why is that?" she asked eyeing him.

"Oh come on, don't let me drag you again." He said as he started walking leading her.

"Hey, you don't have to. My house is just a couple blocks from here." She said as she followed him.

"You're really noisy you know?. I promised I'll take you home so shut up and quit complaining." He glared at her who look back at him.

"And besides, what will you do if you're annoying admirer happen to be waiting for you there. What will you then?" He turn to a corner and continue walking, Sakura just kept on following him.

"So he still remembers where my house is huh?" She thought as she looks at him. "He's grown quite a lot, oh how I wish he didn't change." She sighed.

"Geez, I know that I'm handsome you don't have to stare at me for so long, I might melt you know." He said teasingly to Sakura who was shocked.

"I am NOT staring at you! How dare you say that! Why do you have to be so arrogant? Damn you're making me sick; you're praising yourself too much." She argues as she continues following him.

"This is so embarrassing, why do I have to stare at him anyway? And how did he knows I'm staring at him." She thought as they turn another corner.

"I can't believe hi-" Sakura was cut on her thoughts when Syaoran suddenly embrace her. She can feel his warmth and his breath brushing her ears.

"This is just perfect. Could my day get any better?" Syaoran whispered to her ears making Sakura's hair rise.

"What-" She managed to utter.

"Looks like what I guessed earlier was right after all." He tighten his embrace making Sakura turn tomato red.

"Hey let go of me!" She managed to say.

"Eriol, I think is waiting for you." He grinned then slowly let her go. Sakura looked infront of their house to see Eriol glaring at them. Syaoran then hold Sakura's hands leading her towards their…friend?

"Hey Eriol wazzup?" Syaoran looked at him with an annoying look that made Eriol glare at him even more.

"Oh Eriol are you waiting for me?" Sakura asked him innocently.

'No, I just happen to pass by, since I walked Tomoyo home and your house was on the way so I thought I'll just drop by….but seems like you're busy." He smile to Sakura then turn to Syaoran with a glare.

"It's scary how fast this guy can change his expression" Syaoran thought.

"Did he just said Tomoyo?" Sakura wonder still smiling at Eriol.

"Well, she is kind of busy." Syaoran smirk as he wrap his arm on Sakura's shoulder pulling her closer to him.

"Is that so?" Eriol looked at Sakura who's still faking a very sweet smile.

"Yeah, I'm sorry Eriol, I don't know that you will come. So Syaoran and I spent some time alone together." She said giving him an apologetic look.

"I see…" he replied.

"By the way Eriol did you said that you walked Tomoyo home?" Sakura said as she looked worriedly at him. Eriol lift his face then smile.

"Yeah, is something wrong?" He asked innocently making Syaoran loose his smile.

"Look, I don't know what you're up to. But you should leave Tomoyo alone don't you-" Syaoran shouted.

"And what's wrong with me being with Tomoyo?" He smiled when he saw Syaoran's face.

"I know you're up to something."

"Whatever!"

"Damn I hate you so much!" syaoran thought as he continue glaring at him.

"Hey Sakura I need to get home, it's really getting late now." Syaoran told Sakura who's currently watching him and Eriol fight.

"Damn, I won't lose to you!" Syaoran added.

"Well ok…see you tomo-" Sakura was cut when Syaoran placed his lips on hers giving her a gentle kiss that made her eyes grew wide. Eriol who stand there was raging with anger. When Syaoran separate his lips from her he was as shocked as she is.

"Oh my god, did I just kissed her?" Syaoran thought as he looked at Sakura who's not moving. Sakura felt a warm feeling spreading inside her that makes her heart melt.

"Hey, I guess strawberry isn't so bad after all" Syaoran smirk at the thought.

"What the hell- SAKURA!" A voice came from somewhere near them. They all look to see where the voice came from and was shocked to see a really angry looking Touya standing in the doorway.

"I'm so dead." Sakura thought

"Ok Sakura I'm going now I'll see you tomorrow ok?" Syaoran said giving Eriol a final triumphant smile before he turns his back and ran.

"I'll see you then Sakura." Eriol said not looking at her. He then turns and started walking.

"Obviously he's mad" Sakura thought "But not as mad as him" Sakura turns to face Touya who's still looking at her angrily.
