Sakura and Syaoran quickly moved away from each other and their eyes grew wide with shock as they saw who entered the room.
A huge angry looking penguin was now standing in front of Sakura and Syaoran. The two sweat dropped and their eyes twitched.
"What in the world…?" Syaoran mumbled.
A man looking to be in his thirties walked into the room. He had the same auburn hair that Sakura had. This is Fujitaka, the father of Touya and Sakura Kinomoto.
Sakura decided to have the study session at her house instead because she was sure that she would see Seichi at Syaoran's house, and she didn't want to see Seichi.
"Hi, Sakura. You're awake already? Who's your friend?" He smiled his oh so genuine smile.
"Uh, um. Oh, my friend! This is Syaoran. He's my umm, math tutor. Yea, math tutor." She sweat dropped.
"Why do I feel so nervous?" She silently asked herself.
The penguin was yelling and throwing its arms in the air, but its voice was muffled, so no one understood what it was saying.
"Oh, that's just Touya. He's been stuck in that suit for a few hours," Fujitaka explained.
"Well, we're going to go up to my room and study, since Touya's yelling is distracting me." And so Sakura and Syaoran gathered up their math books and notebooks and started up the stairs.
As Syaoran walked by, the penguin Touya lashed out at him, crying out incoherent words. But luckily for Syaoran, Fujitaka held him back before he made contact with Syaoran.
"Now, now, Touya. Be nice to Sakura's friend," Fujitaka said, pointing a finger at him.
Touya replied by yelling more incoherent words and stormed off towards the kitchen, only to find that the penguin suit was too wide to go through the entrance. He stomped his foot angrily. Fujitaka smiled at his son's childish behavior.

As Syaoran entered Sakura's room, he felt as if he stumbled into pink world. Everything in her room was pink; from curtains to bed sheets, even the walls were painted pink. She had a vase of flowers on her windowsill and posters of puppies on the walls. The room smelled of cherry blossoms, just like Sakura's hair.
"So you feel like you're in pink world?" Sakura asked with a smile.
"Huh? How did you know what I was thinking?"
"Everyone says that when they come into my room."
"Oh."
And so they continued their studying. Sakura couldn't help but blush when she was around Syaoran.
"We a-almost kissed," she thought. Involuntarily, she glanced at Syaoran's lips, and then quickly turned away, blushing hotly.
"I hope he didn't notice," she prayed.
"Sakura. Sakura? Hello…?" Syaoran said as he waved a hand in front of her face.
"What? Huh?" Sakura said, snapping out of her daydream.
"Your face seems really pink. Are you sick?" Syaoran said as he put a hand on her forehead, which caused Sakura to blush even more.
"Stop it, Sakura! You're turning into a tomato!" She screamed at herself mentally.
After putting his hand to Sakura's forehead, he put it on his own forehead.
"Nope, you don't have a fever," he said and looked at her quizzically.
"Hey, you're not blushing are you?" Syaoran asked teasingly and gave her a sly smile. (The flirtatious Syaoran is back!)
"W-what? Blushing? What are you talking about?" Sakura turned her head the other way and tried to act cool about the situation.
At this very moment, it was as if time stopped. Syaoran placed a finger underneath Sakura's chin and brought her face towards his. She looked into his amber eyes, which were warm and grave.
"Syaoran…" She whispered.
"Why don't we continue where we left off?" He said in a hoarse voice as he inched closer to her.
Again, Sakura felt her heart beating a thousand times faster than it should.
"I'm surprised my heart didn't already explode," she thought to herself.
Millions of thoughts were running through her mind while Syaoran moved closer to her. A part of her told her to turn away, but this little tiny part of her told her that it was what she wanted.
Closer… and still closer…
BOOM! The door was kicked wide open with an angry penguin at the door. (Ooh, you guys must hate that penguin now. Interrupting Syaoran and Sakura AGAIN!)
"Blah blah blah blah blah!" It said.
Both Syaoran and Sakura blushed and moved away from each other as quickly as possible.
Apparently, Touya didn't get out of the penguin costume yet. It was a good thing too, because right after he kicked the door open, he was about to charge into the room and murder Syaoran on the spot. However, he ended up falling flat on his butt because of course, the costume was too wide for him to enter through the door.

"Pop quiz," Mrs. Amazamichi announced, receiving groans and sighs from the class. "There is only one question, so it's either you pass or fail."
As Mrs. Amazamichi placed the sheet of paper on Sakura's desk, she gave her a disappointed look, like she always did. Sakura felt sad that her teacher didn't have any faith in her.
"I'll show her," she thought and started reading the problem.

"Hey! Syaoran went over a problem like this with me during the weekend!" Sakura thought cheerfully, and then without warning, an image of Syaoran flashed through her mind. She blushed and then shook her head.
"Why does this keep on happening?" She wondered confusedly.
"One more minute!" the teacher announced, and Sakura panicked as she quickly scribbled out the steps in order to find the solution. Mrs. Amazamichi collected the quizzes and gave the class work to do.
The bell rang and students were filing out of the classroom. As Sakura was exiting, the teacher called her name.
"Don't tell me I failed," she thought.
"Yes, Mrs. Amazamichi?" Sakura said in a frightened voice.
"Don't worry Sakura, you didn't fail," the teacher said with a smile. Sakura relaxed. "In fact, you earned a 100 on the quiz. I just wanted to let you know that I'm very proud of you and keep up the good work."
Sakura found Syaoran at his locker.
"Hey," Sakura said, smiling.
"What's up, Saki?" Syaoran gave her a grin and winked at her.
Sakura blushed. "Mrs. Amazamichi said I got a 100 on the quiz, and she even said she was proud of me!"
"All thanks to yours truly," he said triumphantly.
"So…" he said in a sly voice and wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist. "How are you going to return the favor?"
Sakura tried to slither out of his hold, but that made him tighten his grasp even more. He slowly brought her closer to him.
"Oh no, here we go again," Sakura thought.
All of a sudden, Sakura's eyes felt very heavy, and soon, they slowly fluttered close as Syaoran's lips neared hers.
And soon enough, his lips found hers. He applied a soft pressure at first but then it slowly turned deeper and more passionate.
"Syaoran, no." Sakura said. The command wasn't very convincing, since it was issued on a breathy sigh. She was surprised she could even talk at all.
She tried to pull back from him, but it was no use. Syaoran's hold around her waist made it impossible for her to push him away. Sakura gave up fighting back and soon relaxed in his arms. It was with surprise and quite a bit of joy that Syaoran felt Sakura answer to his kiss. He pulled her closer to him, making sure that there was no space left between them. Sakura felt her legs begin to tremble while he held her so close. Her arms subconsciously made their way around his neck.
In what felt like an eternity, Syaoran quietly pulled away, and they were both left staring at each other's flushed faces.
Sakura stared into Syaoran's deep amber eyes. They were warm and serious at the same time. And for some unknown reason, there was something different about them. She couldn't quite place it, but she could see that something changed. His arms were still tightly wrapped around her waist.
"Sakura, there's something I need to tell you," he said softly.
"Oh look! It's Li and Kinomoto! Aren't they sweet together?" A highly irritating voice pierced through the nice moment.
It was Naomi, and beside her was Seichi. He was wearing a deep frown.
"S-seichi?" Sakura's voice was soft and weak. She gently pushed Syaoran away and looked at Seichi. Her heart was beating very fast, and she felt a lump in her throat.
"It's not what it looks like," Sakura said weakly.
What was she doing? She didn't need to explain to them. But for some reason, she felt that she had to. She didn't want Seichi to misunderstand her and Syaoran. But why? Why does she care what he thinks? There's no chance she can be with him.
"He doesn't care about you, and he never will!" Her conscious screamed at her.
A flood of emotions washed over Sakura. She stood there, feeling fatigue take over.
"Sakura and I are a couple now," Syaoran said happily and put his arm around Sakura's shoulder. She looked at him incredulously.
"Treat her well." Seichi's voice and face were devoid of emotion. "Let's go, Naomi."
And they left.
Author's Note: Oooh, Sakura and Syaoran kissed! XD
Good job to those who guessed it was Touya! And good try for those who thought it was Seichi. Hehe. This is my quickest update ever! Aren't you guys proud of me:D
