I'M BAAACK! I know I know I said this would be up by Wednesday…but I just had to redo my entire history project! ARGH! 16 page paper for nothing….grrrr….soooo ive been quite busy the past few days and I apologize. And here's the new chapter to make up for it YAY!
Chapter 8
Touya came bounding down the yard, waving like a crazy person ready to pounce on Syaoran. Sakura hastily jumped in front of him before Touya could even try pounding him into the ground. Meanwhile, Syaoran was having very bad thoughts…
'ARGH! I almost kissed her and then that stupid brother of hers shows up. Maybe I should just feed off of him and get it over with then I wouldn't have to worry about him.' Then he looked at Sakura, 'No I couldn't do that, no matter how much I want to, he's her brother.'
"YOU STUPID GAKI! STAY THE AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" (sry for those of u who like cussing, I'm mormon…sooooo no curse words in my story!)
Syaoran rolled his eyes. "I can do whatever the heck I want with your sister." He said just to get him riled up.
At this even Sakura turned, about ready to slap him for saying that, then she saw the playfulness in his eyes. She'd never seen that in a vampire before. But before she could think of it anymore, Syaoran proved his point. He snatched her around the waist and crushed his lips down on top of hers.
At first Sakura was going to pull away, but then she just couldn't. Her heart was pounding a thousand miles a minute, and her arms, as if of their own free will, slid up on top of his shoulders, completely forgetting Touya, who just stood there jaw dropped to the ground.
He finally snapped out of his daze and grabbed the Gaki by his shirt collar and wrenched him away from his kaijuu. Syaoran stealthily got out of his grasp and stuck his head out from behind Touya, and waved to Sakura, "I'll see you tomorrow!" he winked and then began his walk back to Clow Mansion.
Touya would've run after him if Sakura hadn't held him back. Finally he turned on Sakura. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!"
Sakura was still gazing towards the sidewalk where Syaoran had just stood seconds ago. Then she looked up at her brother still a little dazed and said softly but firmly, "That, Touya, was a kiss."
She left him on the front lawn gaping, while she went to her room. (a/n Remember Touya still doesn't know that the guy kissing Sakura was Syaoran.) She hurriedly shut and locked the door. Then she allowed her fatigue to take over, she leaned against the door and slid down to the plush carpet below. Bringing her hands up to her face, she touched her lips, as if trying to remember the way Syaoran had kissed her, not noticing the screaming Touya, and the breaking glass downstairs…
The Next Day
"SAKURA SAKURA!" Sakura turned around to see Tomoyo racing towards her with a flyer in her hand. She came to a stop right in front of her, waving the flyer in front of her face, as if expecting her to read it.
"Tomoyo calm down, I can't very well read it if you're flying it all over my face!"
Tomoyo sweatdropped, "Oh right. Here." She said handing it to Sakura.
Sakura took it warily, wondering what her friend was so excited about. She looked down and read it.
SPRING FLING DANCEWho: Students 16 and up
When: Saturday April 18, 2005, at 7:00pm – 11:00pm
Where: Tomoeda High School
This dress is a formal dance. No lap dancing, break dancing, or inappropriate behavior of any sort. If a teacher asks you to leave, you are required to go straight home. Failure to follow these rules will result in severe punishment…
Sakura raised an eyebrow at her best friend. "Tomoyo, you know better than anyone, I don't do dances."
She shoved the flyer back at her friend, "But Sakura…you could go with Li-kun! Oh you make the most kawaii couple!"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Syaoran and I—"
"HEY SAKURA!" Sakura groaned when she heard that voice, but inside she was jumping for joy. "Speak of the devil." She muttered.
Syaoran approached them, "So, you were talking about me right? No big surprise there. Who wouldn't want to talk about me." he asked with his chest puffed out playfully.
"How about anyone sane?" Sakura poked at his chest, making it deflate just a little, 'Man his abs are nice…' She hit herself mentally. 'Stop thinking that! You're a hunter! You hunt his kind, you don't go and think about his muscular, toned, tight….AHHHH!'
"So Sakura, how would you like to go with me to the Spring Fling Dance this Saturday."
She looked at him with narrowed eyes, shrugging off the arm he had put around her shoulders, which he quickly replaced. She sighed, "I. Don't. do. Dances."
Syaoran stopped, which made her stop too, after all he was hanging onto her shoulders like a lifeline. He suddenly pulled her to him and kissed her very very passionately. Sakura closed her eyes, completely spacing out the fact that they were in a very crowded hallway.
When he finally pulled away, he looked into her eyes and asked so cutely, "Please be my date?"
Still dazed from the kiss she absently nodded. "YES!" he cried victoriously, "I'll pick you up at 6:45. don't' be late." He said winking.
A few minutes after he left Sakura was still staring at the spot Syaoran had occupied a little while ago. Tomoyo had to come up and and hit her head to come back to reality. "OH Sakura-chan! Let's go shopping for our dresses after school today, after all the dance is only three days away!"
Sakura's eyes widened. 'Since when did I agree to go to the dance?' (poor old dense Sakura.) She reviewed the last few minutes with Syaoran then widened her eyes. 'HOW THE HECK DOES HE DO THIS TO ME! ARGH! Well I'll show him I'll sick Touya on him when he comes on Saturday.' But then something made her stop. She realized that after her kisses with Syaoran she was willing to do anything. 'Must be some new vampire trick. I'll ask Ryu about it when he calls later.' But somewhere in the back of her mind, Sakura knew it had nothing to do with Syaoran being a vampire. It all had to do with on little four letter-word. Love.
After School
Tomoyo and Sakura were in a dress shop, having the time of their lives. Or at least Tomoyo was. Sakura was busy muttering to herself about why she agreed to this. Of all things Sakura hated shopping. Hated it. she couldn't stand it. even if it was with her best friend.
Tomoyo held out a light pink gown, "Oh Sakura-chan you'd look so kawaii in this!"
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Fine it'll work let's go!"
Tomoyo laughed lightly, "First you have to try it on! Come on…do you need help?" she asked slyly.
Sakura huffed, grabbed the dress then went into a changing room. Alone. (a/n don't get any sick ideas on me now people, mormon girl remember?) After fumbling with the zipper she finally had it on. She walked out and let Tomoyo squeal in delight over her. The dress came down halfway between her ankles and knees. It's sleeves were sheer and see-through and a lighter shade than the actually dress part. A silver band wrapped around her waist, letting the skirt flare out beneath her. (a/n one of those dresses where if you twirl it flares out. I love those skirts!)
"KAWAII KAWAII KAWAII! Ooo I can't wait to do your hair! Now come on let's go find some shoes!"
Tomoyo, dragged Sakura across the store and started searching for the right pair of shoes. Sakura knew she wasn't going to get any say in this, so she just stood on the side, waiting for her friend to pick out the 'perfect pair.'
After ten minutes Tomoyo finally emerged carrying a cute pair of pink high-heeled pumps. 'Well at least I have an excuse for not dancing.' Sakura thought wryly. "Alright let's pay and go already." She told Tomoyo while grabbing her hand and dragging her to the check out line.
Clow Mansion
"BOOO!" Syaoran didn't even flinch when his cousin Meiling jumped out in front of him from a darkened room.
"You're too loud Meiling. I heard you breathing." He told her simply then continued to walk.
Meiling brightened. "Well that's a first you're actually talking to me."
"Whatever."
"So what's this I hear about you going to a high school dance this Saturday?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Meiling rolled her eyes. "Oh please Syaoran cut the crap. I know you would never go to some kiddy party, why are you doing this?"
"For her." He stated flatly
"Ah, the Sakura chic I've been hearing about, I met her at the party and all, but I never really got a chance to talk to her since a stupid SOMEONE stole her away from me…?"
Syaoran suddenly jumped, and rushed towards her clamping his hand over her mouth. "Shuttup. If you said that any louder she would've ended up being Yue's next meal."
Meiling winced. "Sorry." She whispered when Syaoran pulled his hand away.
"But you still didn't answer my question. Don't make me go get Eriol."
Syaoran cringed. "Ok ok. Look I saw her here in this environment, in this party hardy place, and now I want to see her in her real environment."
Meiling just stood there. "A school dance?"
When he didn't say anything Meiling smirked, "Man, Eriol was right Syaoran, you got it really bad."
Syaoran smirked, "Yeah I guess I do." And he walked off.
Meiling's eyes widened. 'Was that a smirk! O my gosh it was! He actually smiled. Syaoran the Ice King, actually smiled. After 500 years of that stupid scowl he actually smiled.' She brought a finger up to her chin thoughtfully, "Well I'm just going to have to have a little chat with Sakura-chan."
A/n LOL NO CLIFFIE! I was going to go a bit farther and then leave you hanging at a really really good part, but then I figured, eh it's a filler, might as well show some mercy right? I know I know….another filler….sigh don't worry the next chapter is gonna be the DANCE! YAY! Besides I really like Meiling and I want to get her involved as much as possible, I love it when she plays matchmaker, especially between S&S. don't ask me when the next chapter will be up cuz I have no clue, sometimes soon…I hope….lol, no I should have it up by Thursday, but with all these stupid last minute summer projects, who knows when I will be able to update…and plus school is starting next Monday, so my updates won't be as quick anymore…so I'm sorry. But hey cheer up! Its not like I'm abandoning the story or something!
p.s. I'm about halfway through with this story. I don't know for sure how many chapters there are going to be but…I'm thinking around 14 at the least, 18 at the most. So let's just aim for 16 shall we? Lol.
