AN: We do not own Card Captor Sakura

Chapter 5: Sickness, Tea and Talking

That night Li laid on the guest bed, listening to the storm outside. He thought about what Sakura's dad had said. Of course he had no attention of letting her run, but the question is, how can he prevent it? He thought about how he gave her a small peck on her cheek and told her sweet dreams, about how beautiful she looked right at that moment. No, he most definitely will not allow her to run.

Sakura ran down the hallway and slammed the bathroom door open before doubling up over the toilet. She groaned when she was finally able to wash out her mouth. Her body felt hot and weak and before she could even reach the door she was doubling over once more, allowing her body to rid itself of everything she ate during the day. She breathed heavily as she lay on the floor.

"I'll be fine dad. Probably something I ate." It was, however, not her father's comforting voice that reached her senses.

Li heard a door slam open and wondered who it could be. He got out of bed and looked down the hallway and saw the light was on in the bathroom; he looked across into Sakura's room and saw she wasn't there. That was when he heard someone get sick in the bathroom. Concerned, he rushed to the bathroom and saw Sakura, heaving, as she stood over the toilet. He opened a tap and poured some water into the glass that stood there. He then knelt down behind Sakura and offered her the water. "Here, take a sip." He said soothingly as she started to rub her back.

"Thanks." She swallowed with difficulty, but drank the entire glass none the less. Disgusted with the bitter taste in her mouth she pulled herself up and grabbed her toothbrush and toothpaste before popping it in her mouth. All the while she could feel his eyes resting on her and following her every move. Sighing she turned around, done with her task she felt much better. She lifted a questioning brow at the young man. "So do you always care for sick girls in the middle of the night, wearing only your jeans?

Li blushed as he looked down at himself. He forgot that he only had his jeans on. He then lifted up his head, and with a smirk on his face he said. "Nah, I usually take care of girls in the middle of the night, wearing only my boxers." His smirk turned into a concerned smile. " Are you alright though?"

"Oh please, I've had worse and I have seen so many half naked men and boys 'strutting their stuff' in this house it's not even funny anymore." She pushed herself away from the basin and brushed past him. "Do you want some tea?"

"And I bet you have enjoyed it every time." He said under his breath as Sakura brushed past him. "Tea would be great thank you." He said out loud as he followed her to the kitchen. He stared at her the whole time while she busied herself with the tea. He enjoyed the way her hair stood in all directions, and the way her PJ's hugged her body. He was falling for her, and strangely he couldn't have been happier.

"Here." She unceremoniously pushed a large mug of tea into his hand. "And no, I do not particularly enjoy seeing Toya and his friends return to their prime evil roots, or what ever. The only one pleasing to the eye is Yukito, and he's gay!" She sighed." Besides, I have better things to do that stare at men's bare chests."

"Oh really? You mean besides getting tutored by me, kissed by me, then you get sick and then comforted by me, and then of course enjoying my well toned bare chest." Li replied with an evil smile and a twinkle in his eyes. He ducked a fist that came flying towards him.

"You are so full of it! Yeah, you have a nice body! So bloody what? It's not like I haven't seen you wearing almost nothing before." Her face turned red when she realised what she had said and quickly turned her expression to a scowl. "And don't get your ego inflated!"

Li chuckle at her facial expression. "You know, you really look so cute when you blush, and don't worry, I won't get my 'ego inflated'. I just enjoy teasing you, that's all." Li took a sip from his tea and walked over to couch and sat down. "Care to join me?" he asked, patting the space next to him.

Rolling her eyes she sank down next to him. "You've been teasing me since the day I met you. It's annoying."

"Really, then why didn't you say anything." Li said with a hint of sarcasm. "I mean it's not like you've exactly been Miss Sunshine to me." He sighed. "But I can guess why too, anyways I'll try not to tease you so often, okay?"

"What? I did say numerous things! You're just to full of it to take a damn hint! And I even threw it at you!" Her hands followed the tone of her voice in an over excited fashion. "And I am never Miss Sunshine, nor do I claim to be. And your guess is right, you brought it upon yourself."

"I guess I really hurt you. I'm sorry." He apologised sincerely after ducking one of her hands that were flying in the air. "Forgive me?"

"You didn't hurt me you jackass! You annoyed me! There's a difference." She huffed and swallowed some tea. "And I'll forgive you when I feel like it."

"Fine, be that way!" Li sniffed and crossed his arms in a pout.

"Oh, you're such a baby." She laughed at his expression. "Yeah, yeah Li, I still love you."

"Really?" He asked as his face lit up with a smile. "Well I love you too." He leaned over her. "I love you so much that I'm going to do something you're really going to enjoy." He said in a very sexy whisper, his head inches away from her face. He placed her teacup on the t able and moved closer and closer, his lips were nearly touching hers, when his hands started to tickle her.

"That's not fair!" He abruptly stopped and leaned closer to her. She could feel his warm breath on her lips as he leaned closer and a wicked grin came into play on her lips. "You're not going to impregnate me, are you? I like you but not that much!"

"Ugh! You little minx!" He groaned. "You really know how to ruin a guy's fun don't you!" He watched her shrug her shoulder.

"Well, then I guess I'll have to get you back for that one."

"What? I'm serious here, look at Eriol and Tomoyo. 'Oh, no! I'll never do it before I'm married Sakura.' Come next day.

'Oh! It was wonderful! We…' and she went on to explain all the disgusting little details."

"Okay, okay, I get the picture! It's framed and hanging on my wall!" Li exclaimed. "Besides I would never do that before I'm married. I'm not that kind of guy."

"Yeah, I know. Risa wasn't too happy about it."

"That's her problem. I stand by my beliefs." Li answered and looked at his watch. "Well I guess we have two choices, one, we could try and go to sleep for two hours and go to varsity or two, we could go to sleep and skip varsity."

"Or three, stay awake, go to varsity and go home totally pasted." She sighed and stretched herself out on the couch. "But I like option two more. Get the blanket under the couch please, I'm too tired to go back upstairs."

Li nodded and got the blanket. "Well, I'm not gong upstairs either, so you're going to have to trust me so that we both can share the couch."

"Oh shut up and lay your ass down." She pulled him down by his pocket and giggled when he fell on top of her. "You're heavy."

"Well, you shouldn't have pulled me down." He grabbed her by her waist and with amazing reflexes he changed their position so that he was the one lying underneath her.

"Not bad." She mumbled and closed her eyes as he pulled the blanket over them both.

"Good morning Li."

"Good morning Cherry Blossom." Li answered as he fell asleep.

"My name's Sakura, you jerk."

AN-Tella: What a way to start the morning. Poor Sakura. I know how she feels. It is the best to be able to skip class and not get cussed out about it. Some classes we don't even bother to show up to. They are just to damn boring. Ah, the life of a varsity student. Ha-ha! Thanks for the reviews.

Tella

AN-Kayapride: Isn't Li so cute when he is all caring and stuff? And Tella's right, Varsity is great when you want to skip class, they don't bother to check if anyone's there because we're too many in class!
