Chapter 12

A:n/ omg, I'm so sorry, I realised that I practically cloned Li's pj's, sorry guys I didn't realise so next time I'll be more imaginative!

Thanks again to Shaaarona for reviewing my story!

Anyway, on with the story!

Li woke up, with dread nibbling at his insides, making him squirm. He had absolutely no idea what he could do to apologise to Sakura.

Mini Flashback:

Li, aged ten, sitting at his desk with a piece of paper concealing his face.

A voice from nowhere said "A teddy bear show, should be fun right?" he lowered the paper to find the mysterious voice. He didn't have to look far, but then again he couldn't, a pair of bright emerald eyes were blocking his vision. She smiled, closed her eyes and tilted her head to Li's right. He went red and looked down at his desk.

End of flashback.

Two simple words strung together can make such a difference. The two words swam around in his head faster than athletes, 'teddy bear' they came in a mixture of colours, swirling round in his head.

He didn't bother with shoes. He ran out of the house in his pj's, soaking his socks from the melting snow. He ran all the way to town, without stopping for breath. Then he went into the cooking shop, to find a cookie cutter that he pointed out to Yukito all those years ago.

He eventually found one, paid for it and ran out of the shop. People on the street were casting strange looks at the boy in his pj's and no shoes, but he didn't care.

Sakura (surprisingly) was already awake, after searching the house, she noticed that Li had gone, leaving all his stuff behind. She stormed into her bedroom angrily.

"The bastard just left Madison!"

"I'm sure he'll come ba- what was that?"

"I think that it was the front door…"

"Bye then!"

"Wait!" Sakura shouted to a now empty line.

She sat on her bed, staring at the wall.

Li in the kitchen downstairs meanwhile, was dashing about trying to find cooking ingredients. He hoped that the front door hadn't woken Sakura up.

Sakura decided to stay in her room, Li could come and speak to her. She wasn't going to speak to him first.

About an hour later, there was a knock at Sakura's bedroom door. She sighed.

"Come in" She said in a dulcet tone.

Li took a deep breath and opened the door apprehensively.

Sakura knew it was Li, but she nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw his sexy figure, holding a tray that held delicious smelling cookies. A glass of orange juice was just peering over the top of the tray.

"I'm, well erm…sorry"

Sakura smiled.

"Me too."

She stood up and looked at the cookies.

"Teddy bears!" She screeched.

Li laughed as Sakura shoved several cookies down her throat at once and nearly choked.

Li left her and went into the bathroom to have a shower while Sakura stood there, cookies dissolving in her mouth as she forgot about them and got lost in her own thoughts.

Sakura's p.o.v

First, he hugs me and looks at me and not the film. His gaze was so intense…then, he says sorry, goes out the house in his pyjamas and makes me teddy bear cookies- what's up with him?

Da ding-ding d ding ding…

Sakura looked at her mobile. She pressed the green button, it was an unknown number.

"Hello, this is Sakura."

"Heya, its Madison. Where are you heading today then?"

"Erm, I don't know yet…"

(Madison knew that they hadn't arranged it yet. She just had to pretend like she didn't have a clue.)

"What about the Russian ballet? I know that you've always wanted to go."

"Well, I don't know…"

"Why not?"

"Because its really expensive and I don't have a clue whether Li will like it or not." Sakura's voice dictated finality, but Madison knew how to win her over.

"You've got my plastic, so price doesn't matter. And you also forgot that Li is heir to the Syaoran Corporation. He was brought up with this kind of stuff."

"Oh yeah…well, alright then…"

"I'll open locker five for you and I'll arrange for a limo to pick you up. You've got to travel there in style Saku!"

"Why locker five?"

"Dress to impress Saku! Anyway, my build- I mean I've gotta go Saku, ciao!"

Sakura pressed the red button on her mobile and went out to greet a beeping van.

Inside a locker situated halfway down, a locker door was open.

Inside, there was a pink, strapless dress with a snakeskin like material. It reached just above her knees and there was also a pair of white tennis trainers with soft pink laces to match. She wore trainers because she didn't like heels.

"This isn't very posh Madison…" she trailed off "But it is gorgeous!". In an instant she was dressed, in the house, and dashing up the stairs to fix her hair.

Li unlocked the bathroom door as Sakura's bedroom door clicked shut. He walked downstairs and outside to his own van, with just a towel tied around his waist. He went to his own van, hoping that Madison hadn't designed anything too outrageous.

He opened the locker door, and nearly fainted. Madison had designed something plain! A black blazer, green shirt, black trousers, black tie and yin-yang cuff links. Complete with black loafers.

If Madison was standing next to him right now, he was sure that he would have kissed her. She had finally designed something with out all the extra ruffles, nope, it was simple, plain- but not dull. Li wondered what the occasion was. Sakura must have arranged their day already.

He changed into the suit in the van, opened the door and stepped into the world. He was greeted with the most beautiful girl on earth. (Yup, you guessed it).

Bright, emerald eyes that held a childlike gaze, clear and soft skin, cherry lips that looked like an irresistible candy that he just wanted to suck on. Auburn locks complimenting the shape of her innocent face, a soft pink dress that hugged her every, delicate curve, legs the perfect shape and small trainers that just well, worked.

"Twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty. You've been gawking at me for thirty seconds. Look, you're nearly dribbling!"

Li shut his mouth abruptly, when he realised what she was saying. But hey, she looked sexy! Damn Madison! Why did she have to be so god damn good with clothes?

"There doesn't seem to be any sign of life here Houston."

Li, once again came out of his trance and noticed that Sakura was circling him like a vulture.

"What am I, a corpse?" he asked.

"There seems to be an unidentifiable object here Houston, it appears to speak English…what was that Houston? Slap him? Roger that Houston."

Sakura playfully slapped Li round the back of his head and started giggling like a maniac. Before running into the house, and into the living room.

"That's it!" Li declared loudly.

Sakura ran around the living room several times, with Li hot on her heels (or rather lack of heels). She leaped on to the sofa. Li, thinking shed gone all the way over, followed suit. He landed yet again; on top of Sakura (poor, poor, Li…) he just lay there, panting slightly. Sakura, the same.

Li's p.o.v

She's the most beautiful person in the world and I can't have her. But ill never know unless I try. I think I should kiss her…but what if she pulled away? Oh to hell with it, you've got to try everything or else you'll never know.

Li leaned in towards Sakura, inching closer and closer.

Sakura's p.o.v

He is so gorgeous; his eyes are so mysterious and powerful. The amber symbolises a burning passion, but for what? He's coming closer; he's going to laugh any minute now. I want to taste his lips, just to feel his warmth…I'm going to kiss him.

Sakura closed her eyes and braced herself for the oncoming laughter.

But it didn't come. When she opened her eyes again, their noses were almost touching…

FART!

Sakura's p.o.v

Oh my god. I completely forgot that I put that whoopee cushion there, oh crap! Why me?

Li's p.o.v

That was way too close, what if I had done it? What would've happened then? Well, I need to do something now, I know-laugh!

Sakura's p.o.v

Well, there's the laughter for ya. He probably found the whoopee cushion earlier whilst I wasn't in the room. Git.

End of p.o.v

Sakura joined him in his laughter.

"I sure got you!" she lied.

"What do you mean, you got me? I totally got you!" he also lied.

"No you didn't." Sakura

"Yes I did." Li

"No you didn't." Sakura

"Yes I did." Li

"No you didn't." Sakura

"No I didn't. Li

"Yes you did." Sakura

Li started laughing as Sakura just lay underneath him, looking dumbfounded.

After a while, she began to squirm under his oppressive weight.

He flew off her as if she were boiling hot, to the other side of the room. Sakura did likewise.

She let out a nervous giggle.

"Are we erm, going or not?"

Li grinned.

"Sure, but where are we going first?"

"Madison suggested the Russian ballet?"

Li groaned inwardly.

Syaoran's p.o.v

The Russian ballet? I've seen it every year since I was born, it never improves. I had enough of this torture when I was younger…but hey, If Sakura wants to go. Then I will.

Syaoran forced smile. (it looked more like a grimace, but Sakura being so dense thought nothing of it)

"Sounds great." He said with false enthusiasm.

Sakura sighed with relief.

"thank god, I thought that you wouldn't want to come. If you didn't want to we wouldn't have to, but hey, you want to go now so lets go!"

(Li falls over anime style)

he picked himself up and said,

"why wouldn't I want to go?"

"well, you used to go to them all the time, so I thought that you might be a bit sick of them."

"Do you want to go?"

"of course!"

"Then why are we still here?"

Sakura gaped at him, before realising that she looked like an idiot.

Grinning, she looped her right arm in Li's left and stepped outside to find a flash, white stretch limo waiting.

Syaoran released Sakura's arm, opened her door. She gracefully stepped in, slid across and Li followed her in.
