A Thin Line

Chapter 7

A/N: OK this chapter is going to be short. Sorry but it's time that I must say good bye to you guys.

Syaoran looked up to see who it was. The figure came up to his bed and kneels down so that she could look up at him.

"Sakura?"

"Hey." Sakura said softly as she smiled innocently at him. She threw her arms around his neck to pull him closer while burying her face on his shoulder. Syaoran placed his arms around her waist, "What are you doing here?" he whispered the question in her ear.

Sakura moved away from his shoulders so that she could look him in the eye. "Dad said that I could stay here if I find a good enough reason to. Well I found one."

"What?" Syaoran was unable to break away from her emerald eyes looking straight at him.

"You." Tears were now streaming from here eyes. Syaoran wiped away a tear drop with his thumb.

"Don't cry, please don't cry." Syaoran wanted to make Sakura stop crying but he didn't know how. Then he did the first thing he could think of. He leaned in closer, closer,closer, he was about to plant his kiss on her lips when his bedroom door exploded with a furious Touya at the doorway. (Touya ran over and pulled Syaoran up by his collar. "We need some time alone so you stay outside for a while."

"You can't kick me out. This is my room!" Syaoran struggled to get free but Touya's grip was just too tight.

"Too bad." He pushed the protesting Syaoran out the door, locking it behind him. He then turned back to Sakura.

"Why did you run off at the airport?"

"Because I didn't wanna leave."

"What about dad, how selfish can you be?"

"I'm not selfish….." her voice trailed off.

"Yea you are, just staying here because of that Gaki? Is he all you can think about? He's not even worth it."

Sakura stood in silence. Touya shook his head and walked towards the door, he turned around before leaving to say, "Do whatever you want Sakura, if you want to be selfish then go ahead." And with that he walked out the door, leaving.

"You can't kick me out. This is my room!" Syaoran struggled to get free but Touya's grip was just too tight.

"Too bad." He pushed the protesting Syaoran out the door, locking it behind him. Syaoran banged on the door trying to get Touya's attention but he failed.

"Touya won't open the door for you. Just wait until he's done." Yukito was leaning casually against the wall opposite to Syaoran. Syaoran took his advice and stopped the banging. He folded his arms and leaned again the wall and looked at Yukito who smiled at him.

Touya finally came out. He closed the door behind him and signaled for Yukito to come with him. He then shot a look at Syaoran. "Listen you, if you ever do any thing to Sakura I will personally kill you!" Touya warned. Syaoran just nodded. Then the men left.

Syaoran came inside the room to see Sakura standing in shook. "What's wrong Sakura?" Syaoran came up and hugged her tightly. He could feel Sakura's tears on his chest.

/Class\\\\

"Sakura!" Tomoyo and Meiling both shrieked when they saw Sakura came through the classroom door. The three girls held on to each other tightly. But when they left go, Meiling's face grew sad.

"What's wrong Meiling?" asked Tomoyo when she noticed.

"Well it's just that Sakura may not be leaving, but I will tomorrow." the other two girls soon grew sad as well. Sakura placed a hand on Meiling's shoulder, "We're going to miss to miss you so much." Meiling let out a weak smile.

While the girls try to comfort Meiling, Syaoran was watching Sakura the whole time. She told me her feelings but I still didn't tell her how I feel, damn it, why is this so hard. Syaoran started to have a conversation with his mind.

How do I tell her? He asked his mind.

You just get her to be alone with you, that'll be easier. His mind told him.

But when?

I don't know pick a day, sheesh do I have to do all the work?

You can't talk to me like that, I owe you! Syaoran grew angry with his mind.

Blah blah blah, that's all I ever hear. His mind teased.

"Who asked you?" the whole class suddenly moved their attention to Syaoran when he screamed that aloud. He blushed a little but then narrowed his eyes, "What are you looking at?"

With that, everyone quickly returned back to what they were doing before. Sakura watched in confusion as she saw Syaoran go back into deep thoughts. I wonder what he's thinking about, she asked her herself.

/After school\\\\\\

Since it was Meiling's last day, everyone took her to the ice cream parlor where she could have as much ice cream as she wanted. Meiling was very grateful for this. Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol sat at a table while Meiling picked her ice cream flavors.

"Aw how kawaii, you guys are finally together." Sakura was glad to hear that her best friend was going out with the boy of her dreams. But then her happiness softened when she started to think about her own dream boy. When she looked at Syaoran, he just turned the other way.

Meiling finally came back after what seemed like hours of choosing. Meiling decided to share with the others. Everyone helped her finished her ice cream, everyone except Syaoran that is.

Afterward they took Meiling shopping. She bought so much stuff that the boys, who were forced to carry them, were hidden behind all the boxes.

They finally made it back to the Li mansion. Since it was dark outside, everyone just spent the night. When dinner came they all ate at the huge dinning room. Sakura ate in quiet, she was a little disappointed that Syaoran didn't eat with them.

After dinner they took a walk in to the Li mansion. The girls were fascinated by all the different types of flowers. Eriol, how ever was bored out of his mind. Since Tomoyo forced him to go he has no choice but to escort the girls.

"Hey Eriol, do you know where Syaoran is?" Sakura slowed down so that she could talk to Eriol. Eriol just shook his head.

"Maybe he's in his room." Meiling answered. "He always spend time in his room when he comes home, it's kinda annoying, but oh well it's his house."

"Oh I see." Sakura looked up to one of the windows. "I wonder which room is his."

"That one." Meiling pointed to the one at the far left. It was not as bright as the other windows but Sakura could still see some light in shining through.

/Syaoran\\\\

Syaoran was walking back and forth, thinking of the best way to talk to Sakura. "Sakura, I think that I might be falling in love with you."

"No that's too simple."

"Sakura I think that you're the greatest girl in the world."

"No, that might make her think I'm stupid."

"Sakura you're my number one!"

"No, that's childish."

"Damn it!" Syaoran sat down on his bed. His hands covered his face. Then he heard foot steps running up to his room. he figured that it was probably one of his sisters coming in to tease him some more. He groaned as he walked over to the door.

"Go away." He said over the door.

"Oh sorry for bothering you." Sakura's voice answered him.

"No wait." He quickly opened the door. "Sorry I thought you were one of my annoying sisters. Any ways, what are you here for?"

"I need some advice."

"About what?"

"About me staying here or not." Sakura walked inside and took a seat on his sofa. She looked like she was about to cry again and that made Syaoran a little nervous.

"Touya said that me staying here is kind of selfish, and I think that he's right. I mean I'm leaving him and my father for someone that doesn't even like me." She blinked rapidly trying to stop the tears.

"Who me?" Syaoran was dumb founded. Sakura nodded.

"Sakura who told you that I don't like you?"

"Well ever since I told you that you're my reason to stay, you haven't said 2 words to me."

"Sakura I'm sorry." He took a seat next to her and put his arms around her. His arms held her in one place, so that he could come in for the kiss. When his warm lips brushed against hers, Sakura could feel her heart beating faster. She could hardly breathe now. (A/N: Get it? He took her breath away. Ok sorry I'm being stupid.)

Sakura departed her lips, letting Syaoran in to explore her mouth. Her tongue hesitated at first but soon join in with his. Sakura's hands found their way up Syaoran's neck as she pulled him closer to her. When she felt his weight shifted on her, she slowly lay her back down on the sofa.

They broke off her air. Syaoran looks down at Sakura's emerald eyes looking at him, "I love you Sakura."

"I love you too, Syaoran."

THE END!
