Author's Note: We (me and my friend) are really sorry for this very late update. We've been really busy with a whole lot of school projects and exams. Sorry, really.
And as you have noticed, they are just sixteen and yet they already can drive, so we're trying to fix that up. Sorry about that again. I think we'll just change their ages to older ones, perhaps to eighteen.
Anyway, thanks for everyone who have reviewed. It's nice to
hear from you. If you have anything to say, please don't hesitate. Just tell everything in the review. Sorry again and thank you very much for your reviews. Please keep on reviewing!
Thanks To:

Last Chapter:
They didn't know how long they were dancing, (since Tomoyo bribed the DJ to continuously put in slow songs) and they didn't want to think. They were savoring each other's warmth and neither wanted to break the contact.
Sakura…
Syaoran…
Slowly, Li slightly pulled away to look into those beautiful emerald eyes. When Sakura opened her eyes, she saw the wonder and warmth reflected in those amber eyes. They stayed like that, their gazes locked, for a long time.
As if being pulled by a magnet, Li slowly leaned down to Sakura, closing his eyes.
He's going to kiss me!
Surprisingly, she wasn't repelled by the thought, instead, she was anticipating for it. She closed her eyes and leaned up to him, feeling his warm breath on her face. Their faces and lips drew closer…
Closer…
Oh, My Gosh—
Closer…
Sakura… My cherry blossom…
Closer…
"KAIJUU! What are you doing!"
The moment shattered.
Sakura, red in the face, broke away from Li and looked around, feeling a sense of dread. She knew that voice… She knew who called her that… There was only one person who had enough guts to call her monster. That one person was—
"Touya-kun!"

CHAPTER 7:
Touya's voice had gotten the people's attention. Eyes were looking back and forth, at Him and at the couple, Syaoran and Sakura, who were happily dancing a while ago. Sakura blushed furiously because of humiliation and fright. She was hoping that she could get calmer and be able to make out a story that would drive his brother's mind away from thinking that she actually likes Li.
'Huh? Who likes Li? Argh! What is all this stuff I'm thinking about? Oh my, what am I got to do now?'
Meanwhile Li was completely composed. He isn't edgy like Sakura. He could easily notice Sakura's fear as he felt her hand trembling when he held it.
Touya walked nearer to them as she talked to his sister.
"Sakura I knew it was you! What are you doing…"
Sakura interrupted his brother.
"Eerrhh.. What?" Sakura asked nervously
…
…
"I'm just asking why you're here. Did dad tell you to come here?"
"N-no..W-we are here t-to party. Anyway why are you here?"
'Whew! I was lucky he saw nothing'
"Why are you edgy? Is there something wrong?" Touya asked suspiciously and eyed Li who was standing beside Sakura and also happened to be holding Sakura's hand.
"N-nothing's wrong. Anyway why are you here?" Sakura said shifting the topic
"Remember I'm working part-time… Anyway, who are you with?" Touya said then stared crossly at Li..
"I'm here with Tomoyo and my other friends. We're having a victory party for winning the dance competition. And, this is Li Syaoran, Meilin's cousin from Hong Kong ." she freed her hand from Li's because it seems that Touya was to break their hands with his stare.
"Anyway see you later, you better get back to work before that boss of you notice that you're not doing you're chores." Sakura added.
"Oh yeah I forgot. I'll just see you later, we could go home together, and I'm working at the kitchens so you might not see me around."
"I'm going home with Tomoyo, don't bother" Sakura said, but his brother has already turned around and walked back to his duty.
'Whew that was close'
"You don't have to be that edgy"
"You don't know him; if I'm a monster then he's worse."
"Oh, he's too protective of her little sister huh?"
"More than you could actually imagine.."
"That sounds cool to me.."
"It isn't cool in any way but scary, better watch out, I've got myself a fierce dog on guard."
"Sounds like a challenge…"
"So, now your thinking that I'm sort of a prize in a challenge, huh!"
"I think I've already come across the greatest challenge in my life… and the greatest prize ever.."
"What! You think I'm a trophy you can win over by beating my brother!" Sakura said angrily then slapped him hard in his arm.
"Let's go out' a here. We could find a better place." Li grabbed Sakura's wrist and pulled her towards the exit door.
"Wait! You're still not answering my question!" Sakura was protesting while she was being pulled over by Syaoran who wasn't talking at all. They got quite far from the restaurant.
"Hey! You're hurting me with your grip, Don't drag me around as if I'm your dog. For your information, I can walk on my own! So now.. May I? Sakura nagged furiously
"What?"
"I was blabbering here all the time and you haven't listened all along! I was asking you if you could please let go of my wrist and let me walk by myself because since I was a child I was already capable of walking on my own!" Sakura bellowed as she got pissed off
"Sorry, I was thinking of something else that's why I haven't listened that much."
"You're thinking of something else! Then why don't you just think of that forever, whatever it is - if it would be more important than me! Who the hell cares who or what you're thinking about!"
"Hey- hey! You've got nothing to get pissed off. Are you jealous? I haven't said anything about WHO, I just told you I'm thinking of something."
"JEALOUS? Hello! Why would I get jealous? I don't care about you at all!"
"Let's stop this argument. I am just trying to think of a better place we could go to so as not to waste this night."
"A place?"
"Yes. A place, that was what I was thinking of, you don't have to get too jealous that something's more important than you."
"I-I wasn't jealous!"
"If you won't admit it's okay. Could we go now?"
"No. Take me home now."
"Why? What's the matter?"
"I'm already tired. I wanted to take a rest now."
"Come on! Don't let this day be wasted! Let's just transfer to another restaurant."
"But I'm really tired now. Please take me home now."
"If that's what you want but, promise me first that you'll come with me tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? What's with tomorrow? Where are we going?"
"We'll just go out and have fun."
"But what if I don't want to?"
"Remember our deal? You're supposed to go out with me have you forgotten?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"Great! I'll just pick you up tomorrow."
"Now, can you take me home? My feet are really aching"
"Okay, let's walk over the parking lot so I could drive you home."
"What? We'll walk over to the parking lot? Do you see how long that is?"
"Or if you want, you could stay here and wait for me while I get the car."
"You're leaving me here? No way! It's you're fault why we're here and why my feet aches you dragged me here, remember?"
"Okay, okay! I'm sorry about that!" Li said then removed Sakura's high-heeled sandals carefully then handed it to her.
"You would make me walk barefoot?"
"Who told you I'll make you walk?" Li asked then carried Sakura in his arms as if they were newly weds.
"Hey! What are you doing? Let me down – let me down!" Sakura protested as she waggles her feet.
"Would you just stop that? Isn't this a favor for you? I thought you're already tired and you don't want to walk, you also don't want to wait down there, so you don't have any other choice." Li said as he walked to the parking lot carrying Sakura.
They were both quiet while walking to the parking lot that they haven't noticed that Tomoyo was videotaping them from afar ever since they were dancing and when they went out of the restaurant. They are just lucky enough that Tomoyo and the others were staying quite far so they don't get to hear their conversations. The group just keeps on following them keeping a pretty distance to perfectly capture their great moments. The group left them after they have reached Li's car. They thought that it would be a perfect timing for just the two of them to talk sweet because they noticed that they were yelling at each other awhile ago.
Li opened the car door and slowly put down Sakura in the passenger's seat.
"Thanks!" Sakura muttered then Li went to the driver's seat. He started the engine turned on the aircon and the radio stepped on the gas and was to drive to the exit when…
ARRKKGGHHH
The car halts to a sudden stop .
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked puzzled
"Oh no! We ran out of gasoline!"
"Huh!" Sakura was surprised then she finds herself laughing at how weird that they ran out of gasoline at that time. She looked at Li's bewildered face and laughs once more now with Li.
"How lucky can we get?" Li asked
"I thought this is a new car. How come you ran out of gasoline?"
"I don't know either; I haven't noticed that at all."
"How are you going to take me home now?"
"Would it be okay if we just ride a cab?"
"How about your car?"
"I'll just get someone to sort this out. I'm sorry."
"It's okay; it's not much of your fault. You're car just forgot to remind you that you're gas is low." Sakura said and laughed.
"Don't worry I'll try to buy the car that talks so I'll get reminded."
"I hope it would be sooner."
"It would really be soon if you'll drive my car once more."
"What!" Sakura protested as she recalled the incident were she had devastated Li's car.
"I was just joking about that! Anyway, let's go now. Do you still want me to carry you?"
"No, it's okay. You're tired already. I'll just try to walk, it would just be short anyway."
"All right, I'll just support you, Come on!"
Syaoran went out of the car, opened Sakura's door for her then helped her walk to the streets. He called for a cab then opened the car door for her. They were sitting quietly as the driver drives smoothly. Sakura broke the silence as she started the conversation.
"You didn't answer me awhile ago when I asked you?"
"Asked what?"
"I was asking you if you were thinking that I'm a prize won over a battle with my brother."
"What made you think of that?"
"You said something about challenge, that's why I thought…"
"Perhaps, I can say that I have come across the greatest challenge in my life since the day I met you."
"But I don't understand…"
"Since I met you I have seen the greatest treasure I am to achieve in my lifetime."
"Wouldn't you mind if I ask for an explanation?"
"I know soon you'll understand.. "
They're conversation has finished and both kept quiet. The music played on sweetly. Syaoran gazed at Sakura. Puzzled, Sakura stared at Syaoran's eyes to look for an explanation. Their eyes have fixed as if both will never look at anything else again. Syaoran was attracted with those emerald eyes and her cherry blossom scent. He drew closer and closer to her while Sakura was earnestly drawn into looking to those affectionate amber pools gazing intently at her. She could feel their closeness as they were barely inches apart. She closed her eyes waiting for the moment that their lips would touch. Syaoran drew closer and closer and closer…
"BBEEEEEEEEPPPP" The tires of the cab screeched as it suddenly stopped.
"Hey Mister! Watch out where you're going!" The driver shouted out loud at a stranger who was nearly bumped. The stranger walked over to the driver's window to apologize. The driver opened his window and the stranger peeped from outside.
"I am very sorry mister… … … … … KAIJUU!"
'Oh no! What am I into again.'
The moment was once again shattered. Their kiss was interrupted. And worse than ever she was completely sure that it was her brother who has called her kaijuu, Touya has seen her in that awkward position. She was completely sure she has no excuse for now. She is so tensed now. But still Syaoran looked composed he slightly opened the window near Sakura.
"What are you doing, GAKI!" Touya shouted out as he saw the two of them after apologizing to the driver. Syaoran was now also aware that Touya has seen them almost kissed. Slightly fortunate though, their faces were not too close since they were both slightly taken aback when the cab suddenly honked loudly. But what if Touya doesn't believe any of their explanations? This is definite trouble for him and moreover for Sakura.
"Touya! Are you going home now?" Sakura asked trying to shift the topic before it gets to anything else worse.
"Yes I am! And why are you two looking at each other closely?" Touya asked suspiciously
"I was trying to blow away the dirt that got into her eye. Is there any problem?" Li answered back.
"Really, with the windows closed the dirt could get in?" Touya was looking for flaws as he interrogated.
"The window was slightly opened, you see." He then pointed at the window near Sakura he had opened secretly awhile ago Touya wasn't able to notice.
"Would you want to ride with us?" Sakura interrupted Touya's interrogation before the two heats up..
