A week later, at Sakura's apartment, Sakura and Syaoran were having some nice and hot Jasmine tea with cake and cookies.
Business had been going well for Sakura with the help of the Li Corp who was still the number one business empire. Sakura and Syaoran had become very close during the week. And Sakura was still hurting.
"Been to any dates?" Syaoran asked as he took a bite of his chocolate-mint cookie.
"What do you think?" Sakura asked as she took a sip of her Jasmine tea.
"Uh… hai."
'Don't be such a baka, Syaoran."
"Is that a hai or an iie?"
Sakura uttered a low growl while Syaoran chuckled.
"Ah Sakura-sama, I know it's an iie." He said.
"Yoi. And it's going to be kept that way."
"Honto? Perhaps what if "the one" came your way?"
"Don't let the door hit 'ya where the good Lord split 'ya."
"You sure?"
"Hai."
"I'll believe you once I see it."
"Stop acting childish."
"Uh-huh… whatever you say."
He took a sip of his tea.
"Don't you believe me? And I thought you were a tomodachi. You wound me, Syaoran-kun. Sakura said dramatically.
"Watashi no Sakura, you "are" a tomodachi for me." Syaoran said.
Sakura felt strangely extremely happy at the "Watashi no Sakura" comment. But she brushed the feeling off.
"Fine, fine, Syao-kun, whatever you say." Sakura said.
"At last! A happy ending!" Syaoran exclaimed.
Then they both laughed.
"Stop being weird, Syao-kun." Sakura said when she got a hold of herself.
"Demo… you were laughing too, Kura-chan." Syaoran said.
"Ah, whatever. Hey, wanna go out to this great ice cream shop. I've heard from Chiharu-chan, that it serves all the imaginable ice cream flavors! Even rock flavored.
She then giggled. Syaoran smiled, making her heart pace faster.
"Sure, Sakura, ikuzo." He said.
At an ice cream store named Ice-Cream-a-Palooza. Sakura and Syaoran were sitting on the counter chairs, conversing and eating their ice cream happily.
"What made you want to go here?" Syaoran suddenly asked.
"Chiharu-chan told me about this a few minutes before you came. A tomodachi of mine, Sasaki… whoops… Terada Rika owns it. Its been a long time since I saw Rika-chan." Sakura said.
"Sou ka."
There was a bout of silence as they ate their ice cream.
"Kura-chan! Is that you? A voice asked.
Sakura and Syaoran turned their heads towards the speakerand saw a woman of 26.
"Rika-chan!" Sakura exclaimed.
And that was where the female bonding thing ensured. Sakura rose from her seat and ran to Rika and the two hugged.
"I missed you so much, Rika-chan!" Sakura said as they stopped hugging.
"Sou ne. I heard from Tomoyo-chan you've been doing well. I mean, president of your own company! Rika said.
Sakura's eyes darkened at the sound of Tomoyo's name, but Rika didn't notice it.
"And Kura-chan, you lucky dog! Who's that sexy man you're with?" Rika whispered.
Then she giggled, while Sakura blushed hotly. The two girls went to where Syaoran was.
"Rika-chan, this is Li Syaoran, Syao-kun, this is Terada Rika, wife of Terada Yoshiyuki." Sakura said.
That made Rika blush, Sakura smirked at her reaction.
"Dozo yoroshiku, Terada-san." Syaoran said with a bright smile.
"Dozo yoroshiku, Li-san." Rika said. "What relationship do you have with dear, darling Sakura-chan?"
"Rika-chan!' Sakura exclaimed while blushing beet red.
"We are business partners, friends, and we treat each other like family." Syaoran said.
It was obvious that he didn't see the hidden meaning behind Rika's words. Sakura felt, oddly to her disappointed.
What's the matter with me, Sakura thought.
At Sakura's apartment, in her bedroom. Sakura was lying on her bed, thinking about her problem… why did she feel different when she was with him?
"It's all very confusing…" she said.
It's because you like him, dear Sakura, a voice in her head said.
"Iie!"
Stop it, the truth is obvious, the voice said.
"Honto?"
You are such a baka, of course, the voice said.
Sakura couldn't believe it. She had fallen for the drop-dead gorgeous, sexy… she should stop right now… president of the Li Corp.
"Daiski, Syaoran." Sakura said as she fell asleep.
Another chappie finished! Hope you like it! I think 2 more chapters and it will be the ending of this story… please tell me if you don't understand some of these Japanese words… I'll email it to you! Thanks everyone! R&R!
