Chapter 5

Spark of Love?

(AN: Hello!!! Gomen for the long wait! I had sooooo much stuff to do! I really do not know what to call this chappie, so don't blame me for the stupid title. Well.... on with the story!!!!)

-BRING!!!-

"Finally!" Eriol exclaimed as he, Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran walked out of the classroom. "Are you guys doing anything after doing the homework?" Eriol inquired.

"No… I'll be really bored at home since I won't have singing lessons." Tomoyo answered him.

"What about you two? We could go to the movies then to the bowling alley." Eriol asked Sakura and Syaoran who were both behind them.

"Um… No, I don't have anything to do…" Sakura said.

"Since you're going, I bet Syaoran's coming too." Eriol said knowingly. "Because you said, Syaoran was told to be with you when you go out." Syaoran just grunted in response.

They exited the building and stopped at the gate.

"Let's meet at Penguin Park. Around 5:30. See you guys later!" Eriol said as he and Tomoyo left Sakura and Syaoran. Sakura and Syaoran waved good-bye and then look at each other.

"C'mon." Syaoran said as he grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her to the opposite direction. Sakura turned crimson at his touch and snatched back her hand.

Feeling her hand slip off his hand, Syaoran turned around to look at her. Sakura looked down at her feet. Realizing why she was blushing, Syaoran's face turned the same shade of red.

"Er… um… let's go…" Syaoran said stiffly. "Um… hai." Sakura nodded her head as she followed him quietly.

Syaoran and Sakura stopped at the Kinomoto Residence.

Sakura unlock the gate and went up the front steps then turned around to look at Syaoran.

"Well… I'll come at 5:25…" Syaoran said awkwardly.

Sakura nodded and said, "Sayonara…"

Syaoran nodded and left.

Sakura slumped back on her chair. She was in her room, and she just finished doing her math homework.

"Finally! Oh…. I wish no one even invented math!!!" Sakura groaned in annoyance. Sighing, she checked her clock and jumped up in surprise. "5:23!!! AH! He's coming over!!!"

Sakura hurriedly picked out her clothes from her closet. After wearing her clothes, she fixed her hair and surveyed her image in her full-length mirror.

"Done." Sakura whispered to herself triumphantly. She wore a long-sleeved green shirt that had a yellow ribbon in front and a checkered blue and white skirt. Her hair was in its normal style and was held by a white headband.

The doorbell rang and Sakura ran down the stairs to answer the door. Outside was Syaoran wearing a plain white collared-shirt, brown pants and a matching brown jacket.

Sakura turned red. "Er… Um… I- ah… 'He sure looks a lot different from the arrogant jerk I knew…' Eh…" Sakura stammered as Syaoran stepped inside. "Konnichiwa…" Syaoran greeted Sakura; he too was red.

"K-konnichiwa… I'll just put on my shoes and find my jacket..." Sakura said as she went into the cha-no-ma in search for her shoes.

Syaoran sighed. 'What's happening to me?'

Just then Sakura came back and smiled. "I'm ready. All I need now is my ja-" Suddenly, she felt a warm fabric around her shoulders. "Wha-?" She turned around to see a blushing Syaoran, looking at his watch. She looked at the source of warmth and saw her blue jacket around her shoulders and blushed as a small smile crept onto her face.

"Shall we go?" Syaoran asked as he looked up at her. Sakura nodded and they went out.

"There they are!" Tomoyo cried out as she stood up from her sitting position on one of the swings.

"And I was just about to start to swing really high…" Eriol said childishly, making them all laugh.

"Gomen for letting you wait." Sakura said as she and Syaoran approached the two.

"Nah. You were just 30 seconds late." Eriol said. Sakura and Syaoran sweat dropped as they looked at him incredibly.

"You were timing us?" Syaoran asked in surprise.

"I just thought it would be fun." Eriol shrugged.

"What's fun about that? I think you're stalking us…" Sakura said suspiciously, eyeing Eriol.

"Don't look at me like that! Fine. I'll stop, sheesh." Eriol said, raising his hands up in the air.

Tomoyo giggled. "Come on, you guys. We're gonna miss the movie."

They arrived in the cinemas and stood in line which wasn't long at all.

Sakura and Syaoran stood in front of the booth.

"Good evening. Which movie would you want to watch?" The woman behind the booth asked them with a smile.

"You choose… I don't care which one… Don't worry, I'll pay." Syaoran said, pulling out his wallet. Sakura blushed slightly and checked the choices.

"Hmm… That one." Sakura said, pointing to a title on the chart which was displayed on the booth.

Syaoran looked up at what she was pointing and froze. "A chick flick?!"

"You said you didn't care which one…" Sakura said in a small voice and bowed her head low. 'Aw man! She's gonna cry! I can't believe I'm doing this… Man, why am I a gentleman?' Syaoran thought and sighed.

"Fine…" Syaoran sighed in defeat. Sakura threw her arms around him and smiled. "Arigato!" Syaoran turned crimson but couldn't help but smile a bit. "Er…" Syaoran stuttered and suddenly remembered that he had the pin on. "Hold on! The pin!" Syaoran whispered in panic. Sakura gasped and let go of Syaoran and got the tickets from the booth as Syaoran paid for them.

They went to the door number of their movie, blushing profoundly; everyone who saw them smirked or smiled at how 'adorable' they looked together, including Syaoran's parents who were watching them from the video camera in the pin since they met at Sakura's house.
