Chapter 7

Yay thanks for the reviews everyone! Just a heads up, I've been playing a LOT of video games lately...read on and you'll see what I mean.

The others left Sakura and Syaoran alone so they just began walking around the theatre. Syaoran walked in front of Sakura, he wasn't sure what to about anything. Tomoyo and Eriol would remain mad at him if he didn't listen to her but his pride wouldn't let him confess to being wrong and tricked. He realized a long time ago how badly he had treated her but he didn't want to apologize. So they both just walked aimlessly around the theatre until they once again came to the entrance.

"…She lied."

Syaoran stopped walking but didn't turn around. "Who…"

"Aisha, she lied about everything. She's the reason why in freshman year everyone began avoiding me."

Syaoran turned to Sakura. "I saw your file Kinomoto…she wasn't lying."

"No, she forged my files during that year!" Sakura pulled out two sheets of paper and handed them to Syaoran. He read the one that was forged and then he read the one with Sakura's true information. He glanced up at Sakura with a suspicious look.

"How do I know you didn't forge your own file?"

"Look at the bottom of both pages, one of them says last edited during freshman year and the other says it was last edited this year. How could I forge a file from 2 years ago without it giving the correct date?"

"You could." Syaoran gave Sakura back both papers and continued walking forward.

"Why would I go through all that?"

"I don't know you tell me…"

Sakura ran in front of Syaoran who didn't even seem to care that she existed. "Why are you being such a bastard!"

Syaoran shrugged his shoulders and walked ahead of Sakura but she once again blocked him off. "Look, I really have had an exhausting day and I just want to go home so can't we continue this whole thing tomorrow?"

"Hell no! Syaoran…you made me cry and that was the second time you did that. I trusted you and now you've got to trust me when I say that I didn't lie to you."

"Kinomoto…"

"Call me Sakura Syaoran!"

Syaoran walks back into the lobby of the theatre, ignoring Sakura. Sakura once again, circled around him. "I said, call me Sakura."

"But we're not friends Kinomoto…we never were…I have no energy to even try and argue with you right now so please just shut up."

Sakura stood in place and looked down, 'If he won't even try to listen to me, what's the point? I don't have to keep chasing him around like a little dog. But…' Sakura stared at Syaoran who was going into the arcade. 'I just don't want to leave him alone…not yet.'

Sakura ran into the arcade close behind him, there were a bunch of games but Syaoran didn't stop at any of them. A man came in front of them with two helmets.

"Why hello there, you two seem like a lovely couple."

That was enough to get Sakura and Syaoran out of their dazes. "COUPLE!"

The man jumped back. "W-well you two seemed like it but maybe it's just me, nonetheless how would you two like to play my two sons in a game of Laser Tag?"

Syaoran was about to deny his offer but Sakura ran in front of him and took a helmet. "Syaoran let's play!"

"No…"

"Oh come on Syaoran." Sakura took the helmet and threw it at Syaoran; he caught it, and eventually gave up. He really was getting tired of Sakura's games. The man took them to a big room with several even numbered chairs in the center. Sakura and Syaoran sat in two seats while the man's sons sat in the others. "Alright, do you two know the rules of Laser Tag?"

Both nodded no, so the man sighed. "Alright, in this game you and your partner need to beat the opposing team, the score can go on until one of you reach the end. This game is safe and it is in virtual reality helmets, what could be better? Also along the way you can pick up various weapons like knifes, guns, you get it. Are you two ready?" Both of them nodded. "Alright then let's begin!"

The man flipped the switch and everything went dark for a moment. Then when everything came up Syaoran was in a battle suit, holding a gun. He looked to his right and there was Sakura jumping around, he had to try hard to resist the urge to laugh.

"Syaoran, isn't this awesome? It's like I'm moving but at the same time I'm not!"

Syaoran smirked. "I didn't know you were so easily amused."

Sakura quit jumping and aimed her gun at Syaoran. "Keep making jokes and I'll shoot you."

"Oh really? I'm on your team idiot."

"Doesn't mean I can't do friendly fire." Sakura put down her gun and began walking forward, "Come on let's get this game started."

Syaoran followed behind Sakura, he never knew she was so child like, it was enough to make him giggle a little. The world in the game was full of surprises; they were on a grid field walking around, everything was green here but when they walked into another room, there was a purple staircase. They began advancing toward it but stopped when they began hearing footsteps.

"What was that?" Sakura quickly turned around but didn't see anything.

"How the hell should I know?"

"You aren't very helpful you do realize that right?"

"Whatcha gonna do about it? Shoot me?" Syaoran was used to making that kind of joke in reality but he had forgotten where he was when he said and whom he was saying it to. Sakura aimed her gun at Syaoran's back and fired. It hit him dead on which made him freeze for a moment, he turned around and Sakura couldn't help but laugh at how pissed he was.

"Why the hell did you do that!"

"Because you said I could shoot you!" Sakura laughed so hard she fell over.

"Okay, I'll play your little game Kinomoto!" Syaoran aimed his gun at Sakura and fired, she got shot but was still laughing. Syaoran was completely confused.

"Sya…Syaoran…we're in the fucking negatives now, look!"

Syaoran turned to where Sakura was pointing at and could tell she was right. They were in the negatives. Sakura stood but was shot from behind as was Syaoran, it was the two boys and after shooting them, they ran off. Sakura was in shock and Syaoran was angry. "Syaoran…"

"Yes, Kinomoto?"

"It's time to go kick some serious ass."

"I'm with you there."

Syaoran and Sakura chased after the two boys and eventually caught them. After playing for about an hour an a half, the score was finally tied: S- n- S: 15, Sons: 15. They all agreed the last challenge would decide the victor, the challenge was: motorbike racing. Each team had to choose one person to drive the bike; while they rode on the bike, they were defenseless and didn't know which way to turn on the course. Therefore, the other teammate had to stay in a controlling booth where they'd tell the other teammate where to go and keep the other person away from them which meant they had to trust one another to get by. Sometimes the maze would play tricks by making the teammate who was riding feel as if they are coming a direction they are not or it'd show a new path that took them in circles. They had 10 hit points so after 10 hits they lost or if they reached the finish line before the other team they win. Syaoran was riding while Sakura was his support, he didn't completely trust Sakura but he had enough trust in her for the game.

Sakura spoke to him in a microchip within his helmet. "Ready, Syaoran?"

"Yeah ready as I'll ever be."

"Alright, we're ready!" Sakura began the count down…5…4…3…2 Syaoran put his hands on the handles and got into driving position. 1…GO!

Syaoran was off, Sakura was almost having a hard time keeping up with his speed. "Slow down Syaoran, turn coming up on your right and the other guy isn't too far behind you either."

"Gotcha…" Syaoran slowed down and made a sharp turn, Sakura could tell he had driven a motorcycle before by the way he handled with such confidence. She looked down at the meter and saw the other player was given a gun. "Syaoran, I'm activating your back shield, it'll slow you down a bit but it'll also protect you from getting shot."

"Okay." The moment he agreed a bright green light surrounded the back end of his bike, he could hear the sound of bullets being bounced off, he checked the meter and realized he was slowing down rapidly. "Syaoran, I'm taking down the shield, when it's down speed up a little and I'll put it back up."

"Why are you going to put it back up? They quit shooting."

"Yeah but their gun feature is still active. Just trust me Syaoran…"

Syaoran quit complaining but he knew they wouldn't shoot anymore, Sakura was just being overly cautious so once the shield was down he sped up. "Shield is about to reactive okay?"

"No."

"Why not!"

"They won't shoot."

"Oh really, what makes you say that?"

"Because of the fact they aren't shooting now, what they're trying to do is get me to slow down enough so they can pass me Sakura, trust me on this one."

Sakura let it go and watched everything play. As Syaoran said, they didn't shoot at him but they did shoot at his bike which caused it to slow down significantly. "What the hell?" The guy passed by Syaoran laughing, he was ticked.

"Ya idiot, see I told you! Take at the next path that opens, since your have slowed down a lot it'll take some time for your bike to be repaired so I'm making you take every short cut I can find."

Syaoran didn't want to but he followed her advice and took each short cut she directed him to. Once his bike was fixed(A/N: automatic repair), he realized he wasn't that far behind them. "Alright Sakura give me a weapon."

"Gotcha." Sakura sent him 4 knifes, two for each tire. Syaoran had already decided how he was going to use them before telling Sakura. She was confused by his actions and a bit frustrated. "What the hell do you think you're doing Syaoran!"

"Give me a boost pack."

"What?"

"Speed up the bike with a boost pack!"

"Why?"

"Just do it!"

Sakura gave in and equipped the bike with the boost pack. Syaoran caught up to the other player so they were now side-by-side. Syaoran threw one knife at the player causing him to slow down to avoid the knife that made him be behind Syaoran. He threw another knife and hit his front tire, then another at the driver himself but they used a shield to avoid being hit again. Syaoran saved the last knife in his hands and continued to speed up, his booster pack was depleted so he had to use every advantage he had. "Way to go Syaoran!"

"I told you to trust me."

"Alright now they disappeared into a new path so I don't know where they'll be coming from but make a right at the next turn."

Syaoran made a right and he was shot. "What the hell? Sakura you told me they disappeared!"

"They must be inside the wall somehow and I can't put up the shield unless I know where they are shooting at!"

"Dammit!" Syaoran was a sitting duck and it didn't sit well with him. He kept getting shot from all sorts of directions and Sakura could only do so much from where she was. His hit points were now down to 2 and they were almost at the finish line. Syaoran began to hear the sound of a motorcycle next to him. "Sakura, I know where they are, I'm making a right."

"No don't do that, keep heading toward the finish line, you can still win this believe me!"

Syaoran smirked. "Believe you? That's rich Sakura…that's really rich." Syaoran made a right only to find a dead end "shit!"

"Told you…"

"Shut it!" Syaoran turned his bike around only to run into the other guy, he shot him once in the chest and then continued toward the finish line. Syaoran only had 1 hp left but he wasn't about to quit. "Sakura, give me a gun."

"No, it seems that they have a reflecting shield up which is why you're catching up so fast."

"Fine then give me the gun after I pass them!"

"It won't work Syaoran!"

"I'm not asking you to trust me, I'm telling you to give me the fucking gun! Can't you follow simple orders!"

Sakura stood up and slammed down on the controls. "Who the fuck do you think you are!"

Syaoran passed the other player "Alright give me the gun!"

"No, I'm putting up the shields instead."

"What!"

"You heard me you bastard."

Syaoran kept going and saw the goal, but still no shield or gun. The other player was gaining up fast but still nothing.

"Syaoran, get ready okay?"

"…Bitch…"

"Pout all you want but I know what I'm doing!"

The other team pulled out a gun when Syaoran was inches away from the finish line, they shot at him and he turned his head around. He saw the bullet coming toward him and knew it was game over, but the shield came up at the last second. Even though he was now slow, he could pass the finish line before them with ease. Syaoran finished the race in first and the game was finally over. Sakura took off her helmet and stormed out of the room, Syaoran went after her. She sat down on the bench in the lobby and Syaoran did the same. "Wow…that was exhausting…"

Sakura glared at Syaoran, he sighed and stood up swinging his arms back and forth. Sakura stopped glaring at him and laid down. "Kinomoto, want me to walk you home?"

Sakura glanced at Syaoran who was awkwardly moving around. "You called me Sakura in the game…" Syaoran stopped moving and looked down to the ground. "I'll walk home by myself thank you very much."

Sakura began walking out of the theatre when she felt someone grab her wrist. "On Monday, if you can prove what you said about Aisha forging you stuff then I'll believe you."

Sakura jerked her wrist away from him. "Why should I have to prove myself to you!"

Sakura continued walking. "Because I'm a stubborn ass jerk who hates admitting his wrong without proof okay! Usually it takes me a long time to even listen to a person but…"

Sakura stopped and turned around. "But what?"

Syaoran walked beside Sakura. "But I guess there maybe more to you than what meets the eye."

Sakura continued walking beside him and smirked. "Where'd you get that cheesy stuff from? A fortune cookie?"

"No, Tomoyo told me there was more to you."

Sakura paused for a moment and stared up at Syaoran. "She did?"

"Yup, and I think she may have been right."

"Oh really? Whatever makes you say that?"

Syaoran looks down at Sakura's emerald eyes and grins. "During the game you were so child like and full of energy. I don't know why but when I saw you like that, I couldn't picture you lying to me about something like that."

Sakura looked down to avoid Syaoran seeing her blush. "oh…"

"Just 'oh'? I guess I need to take some of Eriol's advice about charming girls huh?"

"Well you sure did seem to be 'charming' Tomoyo."

Syaoran smirked "What did I make you jealous?"

"No, I have too much time on my hands to be jealous about you."

"Ouch, ice queen." Syaoran giggled while Sakura tried her best to hold in her laughter.

"Hey what do you say to this weekend, we all go to the resort?"

Sakura looked at him surprised. "The resort! That place is like a thousand dollars per person!"

"Not for me, my family owns it."

Sakura stopped walking and her mouth dropped. "Your family owns the fucking resort? Holy shit!"

Syaoran laughed at her. "Yes, my family owns it."

Sakura began walking by Syaoran once again this time filled with excitement. "Who is your family?"

"Do you know the Li Company in Hong Kong?"

"Yeah…"

"Li company, Li Syaoran…is any of this connecting?"

Sakura paused for a moment. "Oh…oh!...OH!" Syaoran hit his forehead. "You are so fucking…slow."

"Oh shut up!" Sakura punched his arm and he dramatically fell to the ground holding his shoulder.

"Oh…oh my arm! That SO flipping hurt! I mean I think you dislocated my shoulder ouch…ouch…ow…ouch!"

Sakura kicked Syaoran who was now on the ground laughing. "Get up you asshole!" Sakura began smiling at him and continued walking. He got up and caught up.

"You suck at fighting."

"You suck at acting so we're even."

"Hey I was playing when I was down there you know! I can act."

"Yeah you sure do make a great ass."

Syaoran and Sakura laughed all the way to Sakura's house where Yukito was waiting.

"Sorry to keep you wait Yuki." She ran to Yukito and gave him a big hug. "This is Li Syaoran. Syaoran this is my older brother Yukito, he comes over every Friday so we can have dinner together."

Yukito smiled at Syaoran and held out his hand. "Nice to finally meet you Li, by any chance are you related to the Li Cooperation?"

"Yes I am. However did you know?" Syaoran sarcastically looked down at Sakura.

"Well your last name is Li." Syaoran began laughing and Sakura blushed.

"Hey there are lots of guys with the last name Li!" Sakura protested

"Yeah and they're probably related to the Li family as well you idiot." Sakura stepped on Syaoran's toe and he began to hop around holding his foot, which made Sakura laugh.

Yukito laughed and opened to door to go inside the house. "Come on Sakura, dinner is getting cold. Syaoran I made plenty, would you like to join us?"

"No, Eriol is probably waiting for me at home. It's a rule by my butler that no one eats until everyone is present."

"Alright, Sakura I'll drive Syaoran home while you go on ahead and eat okay?"

"Okay Yuki." Yukito runs back inside to get his jacket while Sakura walked over to Syaoran.

"Well so I guess that rumor was a lie."

"What rumor?"

"Aisha said that some college guy came to pick you up every Friday, took you home, and didn't come out until morning."

"Well that kinda is true."

"Yeah but they didn't think you two were having dinner when he took you home." Syaoran nudged at Sakura that made her blush.

"Eww…Yuki is like my brother not some sex pervert! That would seem more down your alley."

"Hey I blame Eriol and his porn." Sakura let out a huge laugh and when Yukito came out Syaoran started heading toward the car.

"See ya later Syaoran!"

Syaoran turned to Sakura as he sat inside the car and grinned. "Yeah, see ya Saku." He winked on Saku.

Yukito drove off and Sakura began to blush. No one outside of Tomoyo and Yukito had ever called her Saku, it made her feel really happy. She went inside the house and began playing with her food thinking about all that happened, she didn't know why the thought of Syaoran made her feel happy but she wasn't complaining.

Okay that's my update as promised, you won't see chapter 8 till Monday night or Tuesday morning(not sure when I'll get back)
