Chapter 10: Night of the Aquarium Part 1

Syaoran slams on the breaks in his car. He stares at Sakura and yells back, "WHY DID YOU ASK ME TO STOP?"

Sakura looks at him timidly and replies, "hehe. I"m sorry. I just wanted to go to the park."

He stares at her in disbelief. He could not believe he just stopped the car, so she could go to the park. He didn't know what to say.

Sakura just smiles up at him and opens the door after he parks. "Are you coming?" she asked him.

Syaoran shakes his head and follows her. She brushes off the snow on the swing and asks him to sit in the one she just brushed off as she goes on to the next swing. She looked up at him and asked him, "You can relax Li."

He widens his eyes in confusion. He looked at her and she was just staring at the dark sky.

Sakura says, "We have just met but I can't help that you are always so serious." She starts to swing, and takes a deep breath. She enjoys the freshness of the air and giggles. Syaoran smiles and starts to swing. He had admired that she seemed so carefree.

They swung and laughed a lot. He didn't want to admit it but he hadn't had this much fun in a long time. He didn't remember when he had laughed so much. He relaxed around her and felt like there was nothing that could bother him.

Sakura turns and looks at him and asks, "So, how long are you going to be staying here?"

Syaoran replies, "I'm only here for the week. I go back before Winter break is over."

Sakura nods her head. "Well, I suppose I should head home now."

Syaoran looks at her and says, "Let me walk you home then."

Sakura shakes her head. "I will be fine. You should head home now." She runs off halfway and turns around. She winks at him and waves goodbye to him. Syaoran shakes his head and waves goodbye to her. "Bye, Kinomoto."

Sakura turns around and starts to head home. She walks down the alleyway to her house. She had just entered her house and received a call from Tomoyo.

Sakura answers her phone, "Tomoyo!"

"Sakura, I have to tell you something." Tomoyo said softly.

Sakura was very interested in what Tomoyo was going to say. She was anticipating something serious was going on between Eriol and Tomoyo.

"Sakura, Eriol and I have been talking for a while and he asked me to be his girlfriend." Tomoyo said excitedly.

Sakura had a huge smile on her face as she was so happy for them. "Tomoyo, I'm so happy for you!"

"Sakura, Eriol asked to take me on a date tomorrow. I wanted to go with him but I'm so nervous. I asked if Li and you can join us." Tomoyo said shyly. What Sakura didn't know was Eriol and Tomoyo trying to make plans for them. They have seen the interactions they have with each other. They both agreed there was definitely a spark. They wanted to create some more spark for them. They had observed them playing a snowball fight and laughing. Eriol had not seen a smile on Syaoran's face before. He could tell that Syaoran was really different around Sakura

Sakura thought about what Tomoyo asked. She wanted Tomoyo to be comfortable. She agreed to come. Tomoyo was ecstatic and said she would call Eriol. Sakura felt a little nervous. She actually didn't want to see Syaoran again. Meeting him a few times she felt was already too much. They didn't even like to be around each other. There was just something about him that made her have a stronger reaction than normal.

After she ended the call from Tomoyo. Sakura heads towards her room. Her father was at an excavation in a different country. While her brother was working late and would head over to Yukito's to hang out.

Sakura rushes to shower and gets ready for bed. She opened her computer as she was excited to see her message from Little Wolf. She smiles at his message. She really does feel that he will always be there for her.

Message

Hello Little Wolf,

I am happy to hear you will listen to me when you need to. I do hope you are having a good time on your winter break. I have to say I have met this person. But he has me frustrated every time I have met him. But I had fun with him today. We had met but I feel we could be really good friends. Have you ever met anyone like that? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Ying Fa

Sakura sends her message. She walks over to her window and looks in the dark night. She was happy to see the stars outside. Her head remembers tonight's snowball fight with Syaoran. She smiles and laughs. He could be very rude, but she had fun tonight. She turns down the blinds and heads to her bed to sleep

Syaoran had got back to his apartment. He drank some hot tea after being outside for so long. He had heard his laptop beep at him. He sat down at his table to read the emails and messages he had received while he was out. He saw an email sent by his mother. He reads it and wrinkles his nose. He smirks at the email and replies. He saw he had another message but he saw Ying Fa's name. He opens it up quickly. His steady heart starts to pound faster. He didn't know why every time he was at home his heart started to pound faster than normal. Especially when he opens up an email from Ying Fa.

He takes a deep breath and opens the email. He looked at the email, his heart felt a drop when he read the message. He read the message and his eye twitch of her talking about another guy. He thought to himself. "Why does she attract so many guys around her?"

He gets up from the table and stares out the doors to the balcony room. "What is wrong with me?" He asked himself. His phone rings and he looks at his phone and sees a call from Eriol.

Syaoran didn't want to answer the call from Eriol. He already did his duty to come and see them and make sure they are settling well.

Syaoran looks at the email and starts to write a message to Ying Fa.

Hello Ying Fa,

I am glad you are meeting new people. You must have a lot of friends surrounding you. I could say my cousin has introduced me to a girl. She seems rather clumsy to me and could work on her coordination if you ask me. I don't know if this girl could be considered a friend. But she was able to make me smile at her. I can't tell you how long someone made me smile and laugh for so long. The last time I laughed that much was when I was with this friend of mine when I was younger. But we lost contact with each other. I hope you didn't lose something like I did. It's getting late now. I will look forward to hearing from you soon.

Little Wolf

Syaoran felt uneasy admitting he hadn't had a real friend since he was younger. But he had felt a sense of trust with Ying Fa. He felt that he would be okay.

Syaoran's phone rang again. It came ringing as he was writing to Ying Fa. He was really getting irritated by Eriol's constant calling. He picks up the phone and yells, "WHAT DO YOU WANT ERIOL?"

Eriol cringed from Syaoran yelling on the phone. Eriol replies calmly, "Well, hello to you too cousin."

Syaoran looks at his phone and just wishes he could smash something. "What is it Eriol?" he said coldly.

Eriol chuckles through the phone. "Cousin, why are you so worked up?"

Syaoran furrows his eyebrows in frustration. "Just get with it." snapped Syaoran.

"My dear cousin, I wanted to invite you to come to the Aquarium with me tomorrow?" asked Eriol.

Syaoran pinches his eyebrows.

"Sakura will be there." quickly mentions Eriol.

Syaoran started not to feel so frustrated with her. But still remembers how rather clumsy she is whenever she is around. "I don't want to go." he said.

Eriol says, "Come on. You have nothing to do anyways. Just come out and hang out with us. Once you're done with this week you never have to see her again."

Syaoran thought about it, "He is true. I don't have to ever meet her again."

"Fine." Syaoran replies.

"Great! I will see you at 4 Pm tomorrow then." Eriol hangs up on Syaoran.

Syaoran just looked at his phone and regretted saying yes. Eriol had hung up again on Syaoran. He shakes his head and closes his laptop. He lays in bed and shuts his eyes. The first thing that came to his mind was Sakura's face as it was inching closer to her after she gave him a hot hand packet.

He snaps his eyes open. He wanted to hit himself. He could not believe what he had almost done. He did not even like her. He did think she was a very beautiful girl but she was too naive and clumsy. He thought to himself, "There is no way I would think of her that way." He shakes his head and shuts his eyes to sleep.

Sakura wakes up in the afternoon feeling so refreshed. She was so happy she could sleep in and not have to rush to school. She freshens up in the bathroom and reads her text messages. Sakura sees a message from Tomoyo as usual to come to her house for new outfit to wear. Sakura chuckles. She read her text message from her father asking how is doing.

Sakura smiles and returns her text back to him. She looks at her last message and sees it's from Kei. She tilts her head and sees he has asked her again to hang out. She felt bad to reject him again. She messages him that she has plans today, they could try something on another day.

She wanted to invite him to come but she didn't disturb Tomoyo's date with Eriol.

Kei was taking a run when he received Sakura's message. He reads her message. He gets frustrated because this is the second time he was rejected. He is starting to think she is just stringing him along. He threw his phone to the wall in frustration. His phone had cracked and thinks, "No one strings me along." He clenches his fist.

Syaoran was running outside and saw a guy throwing his phone around. He thought this guy had anger issues. He continued to pass the guy and ran back to his apartment. He drank some water and saw an incoming call from Meiling.

"Hello, Meiling." Syaoran greets.

"Hello, Xiaolang." she greeted.

"What do I owe to this phone call." Syaoran said as he put his glass of water down.

"It's about that girl, Hua Wang." she said.

Syaoran smirks. "What about her?"

"She is so conniving!" she said, "She plotted against me and now got me in trouble with the clan."

Syaoran was thinking what to do next. "Don't worry. I will figure out a plan." he said, his eyes flash anger.

"Don't worry Xiaolang. I will keep up with my act. I will definitely not let her go in this."

They hang up the phones. Syaoran turns around and heads towards the shower. He still had some time to spare. He comes out with his towel wrapped around his waist and shakes his wet hair away. He looks and rummages through his closet what to wear. He picks up a few clothes and sighs. He really doesn't like this Wang girl. He hopes she will leave on her own, otherwise he will have to be ruthless in dealing with her.

His phone rings and see's a call from Eriol. "Hello, Eriol." he greets.

"Syaoran, we are going to meet early as we need to meet up with girls." he said, "Tomoyo has mentioned a new restaurant we can head towards after the aquarium."

Syaoran replies, "Okay." He went to look at his watch selection and put one on. He heads towards the entrance of his car. He received a message on his phone from a phone number he did not recognize. He ignored the message and walked out to his car.

Syaoran heads towards the address that Eriol told him to head towards. He pulls up to a mansion and could only believe it must be Tomoyo's family house. If he did not come from a wealthy family in China. He would be amazed.

Syaoran walks up to the door and rings the doorbell. He turns around to admire the surroundings. He had to say the landscape looked amazing and was kept well maintained. He hears the door open and he turns around and sees the person he said he would not like.

She was wearing a one shoulder black shirt and red pants. She had her hair with loose curls. Sakura greets Syaoran, "Hi, Li." She smiles at him.

Syaoran just stares at Sakura and was just amazed at how she looked. He found himself dumbfounded by her beauty. She looked like a goddess when she really tried.

Eriol pops from behind the door and sniggers at Syaoran. "If you don't close your mouth you might actually drool" Eriol teased him.

Syaoran closes his mouth and wipes his mouth with embarrassment. Eriol walks away laughing. Sakura looks at Syaoran and asks, "Why would Eriol say that?"

Syaoran looked at her and was actually glad this time she was naive. He laughs nervously. Sakura looks at him with her deep emerald eyes. Syaoran felt her eyes could penetrate through him. She had the most beautiful emerald eyes he had seen.

Sakura waves her hand in front of Syaoran's that broke his trance. Sakura smiles again at him and motions him to follow her. Syaoran nods his head shyly and follows her without a complaint. They walk into the living room where Eriol and Tomoyo were waiting for them.

"Sakura and Li, what took you so long?" Tomoyo asked.

"Haha." Sakura laughed, "We best to get going now."

Eriol says, "let's take two cars, my parents only let me borrow the car with two seats."

Syaoran was about to say something but was interrupted by Sakura.

"OKAY!" Sakura said and quickly grabs Syaoran's hand and pulls him outside to his car.

Syaoran blushes from Sakura holding his hand so long. Sakura looks at their hands holding and quickly retracts her hand.

"I'm sorry!" she apologizes.

Syaoran stares at her intently and was thinking of something. He then says, "We should go now."

Sakura walked to the back door of the car, but soon remembered last time she sat in the back and quickly ran to the front seat of the car. She entered the car and quickly seatbelt. She didn't want Syaoran to be so close.

Syaoran chuckles at her for being so quick and rash. He starts the car and they head towards the aquarium.

Sakura looks up at Syaoran as he drives. She felt he was rather handsome in his seriousness. She decided it was her mission to make him her friend. He seemed so lonely.

They had turned into the parking lot and got out. Sakura walks with Syaoran right next to her. Sakura turns and skips a little and runs backwards looking at Syaoran. She smiles up at him and asks, "Have you ever been to an aquarium before?"

Syaoran quickly replies, "Yes, when I was younger."

Sakura clasps her hands and smiles. "Me too." she exclaimed, "I-I mean I still come with my brother and dad. But I came when I was younger too."

Suddenly Sakura trips over her feet and starts to fall backwards. Syaoran's reflexed and catches Sakura. Their faces were mere inches away from each other. They stare at each other in the eyes. Syaoran looks at Sakura for what seemed like a lifetime.
