Chapter 11: Night of the Aquarium Part 2

Flash.

Sakura and Syaoran turn to look and see Tomoyo taking a picture of them. She smiles at them with Eriol grinning at them. Syaoran looks back at Sakura and removes his hands that were holding Sakura.

Sakura fell down. "Ouch!" Sakura yelped.

Sakura quickly glares at Syaoran. Syaoran just scratches behind his head with embarrassment.

"Sakura? Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked.

"I think I will be fine" Sakura glaring at Syaoran still. Syaoran felt bad for dropping Sakura, he extended his hand out to help her up. Sakura just looks at his hand and ignores him. Syaoran looks at his hand then quickly puts it in his pocket.

They went to look around at the different fishes, jellyfishes, and seals.

Sakura looks at the water tanks and grabs a hand of her excitement. She felt a big hand that was a little rough. She remembered Tomoyo's hand wasn't that big or rough. She turned and looked at the hand and looked at the person.

"L-Li." She whispered quickly.

Syaoran peers at her and takes his hand away from her and blushes. Tomoyo and Eriol chuckles at them.

"I-I can explain!" Sakura exclaimed.

Syaoran just turns away and starts to walk over to the next water tank. Sakura turns and looks at Tomoyo and Eriol. She sees that they are grinning at her and she follows after Syaoran.

"H-Hehe. I will look at the other tanks too. " Sakura said, blushing.

"They looked so cute blushing together like that, don't they?" Tomoyo exclaimed.

Eriol chuckles. He says, "I like it when you blush around me."

Tomoyo looks away and blushes. They walked over the same direction that Sakura and Syaoran went.

Syaoran was looking at the school of fishes as they swam in the group. He was looking at them and was fascinated by how smart fishes ran with a group. He turns and sees from the corner of his eye Sakura was right next to him.

He took a step back on being surprised. Sakura turns and looks at him. She smiles at him and continues down the hall looking at the other tanks. Syaoran watches as Sakura walks away. He follows in her footsteps as she goes to look around. Sakura and Syaoran kept looking at the tanks when she saw a sign nearby.

"Tomoyo look they are showing a penguin show!" Sakura exclaimed.

Syaoran slowly looks at the sign and raises his eyebrow at how excited Sakura became so quickly. Eriol turns and looks at Syaoran.

"So conflicting." Eriol said pretending to think so hard, "That is the same time of the seal show. It is very unfortunate."

Tomoyo looks at Eriol and places one hand on her cheek. "I really wanted to see the seals." Tomoyo said, pretending to look sad.

Sakura looked like she was in a dilemma on what to choose. Sakura stares at the sign with longing.

"How about this Sakura, how about you go with Syaoran?" Eriol asked, "Tomoyo and I, we want to see the seal show."

Syaoran's eyes widened from what Eriol just said. He turns his eyes and sees Sakura's eyes sparkled at Syaoran immediately. Syaoran was taken back at Sakura's expression.

"Can we?" Sakura asked Syaoran.

Syaoran blinks a few times and answers, "O-Okay."

Sakura quickly grabs Syaoran's hand and pulls him towards the penguin show. Sakura quickly waves Eriol and Tomoyo. She continues to pull Syaoran and looks for the best seat. As she was looking, Syaoran kept looking at his hand that was still held by Sakura. He felt confused and his heart started to race. He thought something was wrong with him. He felt the same way when he would wait and read from Ying Fa.

Sakura turns around and smiles up at him. She finally sits down and lets go of his hand. Syaoran had felt the sense of loss after she let go of his hand. Sakura turns and says, "Are you excited?"

She felt so happy and excited to see the adorable penguins running around. Syaoran looks around but eventually his face falls upon Sakura. He couldn't help but look at her. He observed her features and her expressions. He didn't know when he started to slowly smile at her. He started to think she looked cute when she was excited.

Sakura quickly turns and looks at Syaoran. Her eyes looked so alluring and enchanting. He seemed so captivated by her. Syaoran started to feel as excited as she was.

Sakura didn't see Syaoran observing her and she continued to watch the show. After the show is completed, Sakura continues to smile as she walks out. Syaoran peeks at Sakura as they are walking side by side. They stopped to look down a balcony that shows a restaurant at the bottom. They see Eriol and Tomoyo down there waiting for them.

Sakura and Syaoran began to walk down the staircase. Sakura runs up to Tomoyo and Eriol and shows them the pictures from the show. Tomoyo also showed Sakura videos from the seal show. Eriol smiles as he sees Tomoyo smiling.

Syaoran was observing Sakura and Tomoyo. Eriol looks down and orders some drinks for everyone.

"Li, how did you like the show?" Tomoyo asked.

Syaoran thinks about the show, but all he remembers was Sakura's face filled with excitement. He realizes he didn't even watch the show. "I-It was okay." he said shyly.

"Oh?" Eriol said, "What was your favorite part?" Eriol knew Syaoran must had not been watching the show at all.

"I guess when it was sliding into the water." Syaoran quickly said.

"That was my favorite part and also when the trainer would throw fish for them to eat." Sakura said with excitement.

Syaoran breaths in relief. He was just spouting words. Eriol continued to look at him as he was trying to look through him. Syaoran sweats a little from Eriol's gaze.

The waiter comes and drops off their drinks for them. Syaoran takes a big sip out of his drink to cool him off.

"So, Sakura," Eriol starts, "You missed the Seal show. Would you be upset?"

Sakura thought about it and decided she was happy to just see the Penguin show. She shook her head no. She asks Syaoran, "Li, will you be upset that we didn't see the Seal Show?"

Syaoran looks away from the group and shakes his head. He just didn't want to be in the spotlight.

Tomoyo chuckles at Syaoran's expression. "Sakura and Li, how is it you met?" she asked.

Sakura blushes in remembering she fell in front of him at the airport. "Haha," she laughs nervously, "W-We met at the airport."

Syaoran remembers her falling on the ground. He laughs, "Yeah, she fell in front of me."

Sakura quickly glares at him. Everyone laughed as Sakura glared at Syaoran.

"Li, what are your future plans after graduating?" Tomoyo asked.

"I suppose to take over the Li Clan Corporation group. I have exceeded and excel, I perhaps may even graduate early." He said.

Sakura nods her head.

"Sakura, did you say you wanted to go to college in Hong Kong?" Tomoyo added.

Sakura widens her eyes, "Tomoyo!"

She hadn't told anyone but Tomoyo. She was studying hard so she could make it in. The entrance to the college exams are very hard. They only accepted a few applicants and based on their GPA and extracurricular activities. Sakura had slowly become president of her class, will be captain of her cheer squad, and other activities.

Syaoran had some doubts if she could even get into that college. He even struggled to get into that college. He looks at Sakura and says, "Are you even that smart enough?"

Sakura quickly stands up in anger, "What are you trying to say?"

Syaoran quickly adds, "I mean are you even smart enough? They only accept people who are smart and elite."

"I have you know that I am the president of my class, will be the cheer squad captain-"

"Just because of that doesn't make you smart, you have to work really hard to get in that school." Syaoran interrupted.

Sakura looks at him and glares at him. Just when she thought he was actually a decent guy, he flipped the switch. Sakura sat down and took a swig out of her drink. She had the urge to throw this drink in his face.

Slowly footsteps walk up to their table. Sakura looks up and sees the handsome Kei's face.

"Sakura!" Kei eagerly greets at their table.

Sakura was surprised to see Kei here. She greets back to him slowly, "Um. Hello, Kei." Sakura tilts her head in confusion.

Kei turns and sees Tomoyo and Eriol and nods at them. When he sees Syaoran he immediately frowns and thinks, "Are they on a date?"

He introduces himself to Syaoran, "Hello, my name is Kei. I am friends with Sakura, Tomoyo, and Eriol."

Eriol raises his eyebrow and thinks, "This guy is sneaky." Eriol could see through Kei and didn't trust him.

Kei reaches out his hand to shake Syaoran's hand. Syaoran looks at Kei and just pretends not to see his hand. Syaoran really doesn't like knowing new people often. Kei retracts his hand as he saw that Syaoran was not going to shake his hand. He looks at Sakura and asks,"So Sakura, do you have time tomorrow to hang out with me?"

Syaoran looked at Kei and had a sense of distrust. Sakura replies, "Okay,Kei." Sakura smiles at Kei and Kei smiles back. Syaoran looks at Sakura and Kei back and forth. He had a sense of anger all of the sudden. Syaoran then says casually, "What a coincidence Sakura was going to show me around tomorrow."

Sakura quickly looks back at Syaoran in confusion. "Isn't that right, Sakura?" Syaoran looks at Sakura with determination. Sakura had felt she was being sucked in from this deep amber eyes and nodded her head in agreement. She shakes her head and feels slapping her head from agreeing to him.

Syaoran just smiles at her and feels a sense of accomplishment after she nods her head. Kei turns to look at Syaoran in anger. He only wanted to be with Sakura and have her fall in love with him so he could deal with her.

Sakura forgot she was mad at Syaoran. Sakura gave Kei a half smile and spoke, "I guess I forgot about that. Did you want to come with us Kei?"

Kei pauses for a moment to think things through. He didn't like this new guy trying to step between him and Sakura. He needs to break them apart. They had seemed very close. What he did not know was they didn't get along very well.

"Of course Sakura. We can show him around town. He is a guest here right?" Kei said, "I know the best places." He said, patting Sakura's head.

"That is great!" Sakura said, clasping her hands with excitement.

"Do you mind if I could join you for dinner?" Kei asked.

Sakura looks at Eriol and Tomoyo.

Eriol smiles and looks at Syaoran. Syaoran doesn't know why he felt annoyed by this guy named Kei. He frowned after he heard Kei speak. Eriol wanted to push Syaoran's button and he replied, "Of course you can join us."

Sakura turns her head and looks at Eriol with a confused look on her face. She thought this was a date between Eriol and Tomoyo. She didn't understand why he was inviting someone else to come and join. Sakura looks at them and half smiles. "Yes, of course."

Eriol smiles and thinks, "This should be interesting."

Syaoran's plan was to ignore them and just continue doing what he was doing. But he saw how Sakura was interacting with Kei. He frowns and just looks away. His actions were caught by Tomoyo and Eriol as they chuckled at him. He scowls at them and looks the other way. He looks at the time on his watch and says, "Let's go eat. I'm hungry."

Sakura's stomach growls and she laughs nervously. Tomoyo and Eriol laugh at her expression. "Yes, let's go eat."

Syaoran thought her expression was pretty cute. His lips perk up and smile at her. Kei thought it was rude her stomach was growling and asked, "Did you not eat anything today?"

Kei looks away with annoyance that she didn't eat. Sakura looks at Kei with embarrassment. Syaoran looks at Kei and squints his eyes and says, "I suppose you aren't so hungry then"

Syaoran grabs Sakura's hand and walks toward the entrance of the Aquarium. Sakura tried to walk normally, but Syaoran was walking too fast for her. She kept stumbling and fell on the ground. Syaoran turns and sees she fell down. He bends down and gives her his hand to help her up.

Sakura was angry Syaoran just grabbed her hand and started walking so fast. She quickly looked up to glare at him. But when she looked up at him she saw his hand in the air to help her and his eyes had soften up. Sakura was very surprised and naturally took his hand. Syaoran accidentally pulled her up too quickly. She stumbled and landed close to his chest, and looked like they were hugging.

Syaoran and Sakura immediately blush from the close contact. They had stared at each other when she felt someone pulling her away from him. Syaoran blinks back to reality and sees Kei had pulled Sakura behind him. Kei was glaring at Syaoran. Sakura looks at Syaoran and asks, "Kei, what's wrong with you?

Kei looks at Sakura and is speechless. "I-I just don't want you to get too close to someone." he said honestly.

Sakura looks at Kei and says, "I-I can get close to anyone I want to. Syaoran and I are just-" she pauses for a moment, "Friends."

Syaoran nods his head in agreement and thinks, "I suppose we could call friends now."

Sakura says to them, "W-We should head towards the restaurant"

Kei furrows his eyebrows and tries to think. He was trying to drive a wedge between Sakura and Syaoran. He needs to think this over.

Sakura turns away and looks at Syaoran. "Let's go Li."

Kei was thinking a moment ago, but when he heard Sakura call him Li, he smiled. He follows them outside. They are walking towards their cars, when Kei looks at his tire in frustration. Sakura turns and looks at him and asks, "What is the matter?"

Kei looks at Sakura in frustration. "My car has a flat tire." he cried out.

Syaoran turns his head to Kei. He found this guy always had a problem. Syaoran continued to observe him.

"Oh no. What should we do?" Sakura exclaimed. She felt she was in a dilemma. She was actually quite hungry. Sakura turns to Syaoran and looks at him. Syaoran turns his head away. Sakura walks over to Syaoran on the other side where he was looking.

Sakura peeks at him and smiles. "How about we take Kei in the car with us?" she asked.

Syaoran saw her smile and just blew some air with frustration. He looks slowly at Kei, "Sure."

Kei smiles at Syaoran and gets in the car and pulls Sakura with him in the back seat. Syaoran squints his eyes. He felt like he was the driver for them. This action only infuriates him. But after thinking about it he smirks.

Syaoran gets in the car and tells Sakura to get in the front seat and seatbelt properly. Sakura returns to the front seat as she knows how Syaoran was sensitive to her sitting in the backseat when he is driving. Syaoran looks at his rear mirror and sees Kei with a frown. He didn't wear a seatbelt on and was just casually sitting there.

Syaoran starts the car and starts moving the car. He asked Sakura to put the address on the GPS. Sakura puts the address on the GPS. Syaoran hears the GPS voicing the direction and Syaoran speeds up the speed of his car. He rushes past a few cars and sees Kei kept sliding around in the back seat. Kei looks everywhere for his seatbelt and is struggling to put it on. Syaoran sped all the way to the restaurant. He parks in the parking lot and gets out of the car casually. Sakura sat in the car for a bit before moving herself out of the car. She was about to open the handle when she saw Syaoran open the door to her with his hand extended to her. She thought he was very rude and obnoxious. But she feels how she thought of him is changing. She starts to think he is rather very kind. Sakura puts her hand in his hand as he steadies her to stand.

Meanwhile, Kei stumbles out from the backseat of the car. He felt a little dizzy from the car ride. He bends his knees and tries to steady his breath. He was really scared of Syaoran's driving and that they made it in one piece.

Eriol pulls up next to Syaoran's car. He smiles softly at them. Eriol asks, "What is the rush Syaoran?"

Syaoran pulls his hand away from Sakura and shrugs his shoulders. Eriol had a knowing smile on his face and turned to look at Tomoyo. She was smiling at him and walked up to Sakura.

"Sakura, how was the ride in Syaoran's car?" she asked excitedly.

Sakura laughs nervously. She thought to herself the ride was really scary. She did not know why he drove crazy. "I-It was okay." she answered.

Kei looks at Sakura and responds, "It was okay? It was horrible. This guy needs to learn to drive!"

Sakura just smiles nervously.

"Well, you looked okay." Eriol said calmly. Eriol takes Tomoyo's hand and walks towards the entrance of the restaurant. Kei looks at all of them thinking they were crazy. He staggers after them.

"Welcome! How may we be of service to you. How many people will be seated today?" the waiter asked.

"There will be 5 of us." said Sakura.

Tomoyo and Eriol arrived at the table and sat next to each other. Tomoyo waves at Sakura in front of her. They were seated at the end of the table. Kei wanted to rush to Sakura's side to sit, when he heard Eriol.

"Syaoran, why don't you sit next to Sakura. And I can talk to my good old friend Kei." Eriol said, looking at Kei. Eriol knew Kei and him were not friends. Eriol smiles at Kei.

Kei smiles back at Eriol and responds, "It's unfortunate. I really wanted to talk to Sakura today."

"I suppose you have already spoken to her today." Eriol said, smirking at him.

Kei was flabbergast. He didn't know how to respond to him. While he was standing, Syaoran just casually sat down and looked at the menu.

Sakura turns and whispers to him what he should order. Syaoran nods his head and agrees. Kei sat down and looked at them in anger. He thought it would be easy for him to be close to Sakura. But Eriol was not a simple man. Kei looks at Eriol and thinks he just has to get Sakura away from her friends. It was just a shame he pricked a hole in the tire of his car and he could not drive Sakura home tonight. Kei was thinking what his next step should be.

Sakura pointed at something on the menu and showed it to Tomoyo and Eriol. Syaoran also looked at the menu at what she was ordering. He was surprised that she liked the same things from the menu. Sakura turned to look at him and asked, "Are you ready to order Li?"

"Yes." he answered.

"Sakura, how about you order for me?" Kei asked, "I'm not so familiar with these entrees."

"I think you would like this?" Tomoyo points out to him.

Kei looks at the menu that Tomoyo points out to him and his face grimaces. He doesn't like anything with tomatoes. He peeks at Sakura and she looks at him with anticipation. He saw that Sakura wanted him to eat it, "Sure, it sounds good." he said. He had only hoped he wouldn't regret eating this dish.

Tomoyo smiled and looked at Eriol. Tomoyo had remembered in the past, Kei had accidentally eaten something with tomato and had thrown up for a while in the restroom. His stomach didn't sit well with the tomato. Tomoyo wanted to shake off Kei from Sakura. She thought Sakura and Syaoran look too adorable together. They had chemistry.

They order their food and Kei looks at his meal. Sakura turns and asks him, "Kei do you not like the food?"

Kei looks at Sakura who is smiling. He just looks down at his meal and takes a big spoonful of it. "MM." he says.

Sakura smiles and looks at Syaoran. "How's it taste Li? You got the same as my meal?"

Syaoran looks at her and nods his head.

Kei looked at his meal and Syaoran's and thought I should have gotten the same as Sakura's meal. He looked at Syaoran as had just stolen something from him. He suddenly didn't feel so well. "I-I be right back." he said as he stumbled to the restroom.

Sakura turns and looks at him retreating, "Is he going to be okay?" Sakura asked with concern.

"Haha. I think he will be okay. He is probably going home." Tomoyo said.

Eriol slides his glasses up to readjust and looks at Sakura. "I think we had a lot of fun today. Why don't you have Syaoran drop you off at home?"

Sakura remembers how Syaoran was driving and got scared. "I-I don't know." she said nervously.

Syaoran sighs and says, "Don't worry, I will drive the speed limit" he chuckles.

Kei comes back and says, "I'm sorry Sakura, I need to go home," holding his mouth from throwing up. He runs back to the bathroom.

"Will he be okay by himself?" Sakura asked.

"Don't worry, Tomoyo and I will stay until he finds a ride back home."Eriol reassures her, "He lives on the other side of town away. Not in your direction."

Sakura nods her head in agreement. Syaoran looks at his watch and says to Sakura, "We should probably head home then." Syaoran waves at the waiter to bring the check. He takes out his black card.

Sakura looked at the card and looked at Syaoran. "How could you have a black card already?"

Syaoran looks at her and responds, "This is the Li Clan's black card." Sakura looked at the card and was very impressed. It is not everyday to see a black card in someone's possession.

Syaoran gets up from the table and looks at Sakura. "Let's head back."
