It started with a box of Chocolates

Chapter 2: The result of Syaoran's endless thinking

Disclaimer: State the obvious. I do not own CCS.

"You kick ass. Go Sakura." Tomoyo cheered, as the game ended.

Sakura smiled, wiping off the sweat that matted her hair to her forehead. "Thanks Tomoyo. I forgot how great it is to play soccer, again."

"Yeah, you were great." Syaoran said, coming towards them. "You're better than half the guys here. You should come every morning…" He said, with a bribing tone.

"Ohoho. Sakura laughed, the way only she could. Well maybe Tomoyo too.. "It was good, but I don't think I can wake up that early again."

She stifled a yawn as she rested on the bench besides Tomoyo. "Plus, I'm all sweaty. That messes up my whole plan to get…" She closed her mouth when she realized what she almost revealed.

"What?" Syaoran asked puzzled. Sakura had just trailed off.

"Err… nothing." Sakura said. "I uh.. gotta go…" She got up quickly, grabbed her books and left without looking back.

Tomoyo laughed, knowing exactly what was going on.

"What happened?" Syaoran asked, very much still puzzled.

"Soon… soon, you will understand." Tomoyo got up and patted Syaoran's back. "God, everyone… so clueless!" She left, shaking her head.

"Syaoran." Syaoran turned, as someone tapped him. He recognized him to be Hiroshi who had played on their opposing team. He was still sweaty from their previous soccer game.

"I uh- I heard that Sakura and you are really close friends. Is that true?"

Syaoran nodded, wondering where this was going to. "Yeah. We've known each other for a long time."

"I see. Um.. You don't like her, right?"

Syaoran shook his head. "No… why would you think that…?"

"No reason." He said. "Well, stay cool. Good game." He said patting Syaoran's back.

He left with a satisfied grin and Syaoran stood there, more puzzled than ever.

All throughout class, his mind wandered.

'Had she seen the chocolates? What was she thinking? What did she feel about them?'

When class ended, he was the first one to leap from his desk.

He got to the place, where he'd arranged for them to meet. His pulse quickened as he saw her standing there, with her back towards him.

She was beautiful with her long slender legs and slim build. Under the sun, her hair shone a beautiful, radiant black.

"Nami."

She turned to the sound of his voice… her ebony hair flipping elegantly around as her face turned.

"Syaoran." She held up the box of chocolates. "This… this is really sweet." She said. She offered a smile.

"Do you-?" He asked, full of anticipation.

"Wait, before you say anything, let me finish. I think you're a really cool guy. I have to admit; the first time I saw you, I knew you were something special…" She paused.

"…But the fact of the matter is… too many people like you. And what's not to like? You're good looking and you have a nice personality. But me? I'm just a girl with a pretty face. The person I am inside doesn't even come close to what you deserve. So, find someone better than me. I'll never forget this, though."

When Syaoran didn't speak, she turned away and began to walk.

Syaoran shook his head, not at all understanding what had happened.

"Oh my gosh… he didn't?"

"Yeah.. I can't believe it…"

"But Syaoran is…" A dreamy look washed across her friend's face.

Nami folded her legs and sat up against her slanted position on her bed. "I mean… I can't say, I haven't ever thought about him in that way… it's just… he's too good. Well, my decision is finale."

"Hey… what's this?" Her friend asked, picking up a box of expensive chocolates. When the light shone on it, it glittered in bright gold colors.

"That's the chocolates he gave me."

"It looks great." She said admiringly.

"Well.. have it."

Her friend's eyes lit up. Then she shook her head. "No. Chocolate has too much calories. I'm on that plan to eat healthy."

Nami shrugged. "Alright, whatever. You can give it to your brother or whatever. Doesn't he have a sweet tooth or whatnot?"

The girl thought about it for a moment. "You sure?"

"Yeah. It'll remind me of him, so take it."

"Cool." She smiled. "Thanks."

Later into the night, a very nice sister presented her very much addicted to sweets brother with a delightful box of chocolates.

Let's just say… her brother no longer thought she was an annoying brat…

Well…okay, just an annoying brat who gave him very nice chocolate.

I bet you're wondering where this is going and why the last part had nothing to do with Sakura and Syaoran… well; before you lose all your interest in this supposedly CCS fic. I just want to say, I wanted to try something new, like I said in the beginning of chapter 1. Most stories are very cliché-ish. (didn't u all believe the girl Syaoran was giving chocolates to was Sakura?) I didn't want this story to be the same way. I don't know how 'different' it will turn out, but I'd like to have the chance. But I need support to do that. So please review and read. It's going to get better.

Watch how a box of chocolates can get Syaoran the girl of his dreams.
