I DON'T OWN CCS

"I'm throwing a little party at my house on Friday, you know like a get together. You guys wanna come? It'll be for the night."

"Sure Tomoyo, ill come, but ill have to ask my Otoosan and make sure I'm not doing anything. W-what about you, Syaoran? Do you think you can come? Or are you busy?" Sakura tried her best to sound cool but failed.

"Uh Sure, I think I'm free. Ill just have to check with Meiling." Syaoran looked towards Sakura before quickly looking away with a light blush.

Tomoyo giggled lightly without catching anyone's attention and decided to break the slight awkwardness. "Cool, that's you two and Eriol of course, which leaves Takashi, Chiharu and Meiling. So what about you two? You're up for it?" Tomoyo waited for their replies. "Yeah I should be able to come; I don't think I have anything on." Chiharu nudged Takashi who seemed to be off in la-la land.

"Huh? What?"

"Sighs, are you coming or not?"

"Oh, What? Yes! Of course!" Tomoyo nodded and was glade that everyone should be able to come. ("Hmm too bad that Meiling can't have her boyfriend here… It would be good if he did show up. That way Sakura and Syaoran would HAVE to get to know each other…maybe even get together! YES! I'm a genius! Maybe Meiling could help out a bit… I'd have to ask her later…") Meiling was currently skipping happily towards the group and looked like she was going to explode from excitement.

"Hey you guys! Guess what!" Everyone turned around and was presented with a happy Meiling.

"What?" Sakura looked questionably at the excited Meiling.

"My boyfriend Chihiro is coming down to Tomoeda for a month. He'll be here tomorrow!"

"YES!" everyone raised an eyebrow to tomoyo who jumped up in joy. "I can't believe it! Now I can defiantly find a way to bring Sa-uh hey…" Tomoyo managed to stop herself before spilling out her plain in front of Sakura and Syaoran. Everyone raised an eyebrow to her as if she were a mad woman.

"Hehe… uh I mean, that means he can come to the party I'm going to throw this Friday…So if you're not busy and want to come, you can invite him too." Tomoyo smiled glad that she managed to cover up and make Sakura loose interest along with the others in her sudden outburst. Everyone except Syaoran. He looked to Eriol and knew that he and Tomoyo were planning something.

"That's great! I'll tell him when he arrives! I'm sure he'll love to come!"

"Well then, it's settled. It'll be on Friday at 5:00pm. So everyone can stay for the night and leave whenever they want the next day. Is that okay with everyone?" Everyone nodded in agreement as the bell rang and they all went back to class.

After class.

Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol, Syaoran and Meiling all walked back home in silence when Sakura broke in.

"So where bout's do you guys live?"

"Uh well the next block up to the right. Three houses down. It's got a black roof with iron gates."

"Oh, really?! Mine and Tomoyos are an extra street up! She lives next door to me."

"Wow that's pretty close. Hey, say…Tomoyo, We should catch up some time?" Eriol said winking to Tomoyo who giggled and blushed a light shade of pink. Sakura, Meiling and Syaoran rolled their eyes as they all walked. "Okay, well see you guys tomorrow, me and Tomoyo are going back to her house." Sakura said while trying to yank Tomoyo away from Eriol.

"Uhg...Tomoyo! Move! Now!"

"See ya Sakura, see ya Tomoyo!" Syaoran and Meiling said while Syaoran was also trying to drag Eriol away from Tomoyo. Once Eriol and Tomoyo finally broke apart, Sakura and Tomoyo nodded then made there ways towards the street across from the others.

There was a pause for a while until Tomoyo spoke.

"Well Sakura looks like you're the last of us!"

"Hoe? What do you mean?" There was a slight pause. Sakura figured that Tomoyo was trying to find a way to put her words right.

"Well, everyone else has um…lost it…Hehe. This leaves you last!"

"WHAT?!?! Pfft as if! Like who?"

"Uh geez there's only two other people who sat with us before Meiling and Syaoran came…"

"…" "You mean…Chiharu and Tak…" before Sakura could finish Tomoyo was patting her head as if she were a two year old.

"…"

"TOMOYO! Stop patting me!" Tomoyo laughed and quickly moved away as Sakura was about to hit her.

"GRRR."

"There, there Kura!" Sakura just gave Tomoyo a death glare and turned away. Once settled and calm after the 'news' and Tomoyo's annoying Sakura routine, Sakura decided to speak.

"So…I'm…geez. But, wait a second, when did they tell you? And why wasn't I told!"

"They told me In class, they figured it wasn't a big deal. Besides, they already figured that I had lost because of the event earlier on today." Tomoyo just shrugged it of simply like it was nothing.

"ISN'T A BIG DEAL? What has the world come to? Today I just found out my best friend has lost it to someone I hadn't even met. Then I see her doing it again IN SCHOOL UNIFORM! And now, I find out it wasn't just my best friend! But all of my friends have lost it!" Tomoyo giggled at Sakura's sudden outburst.

"Hey don't worry! You make it sound like the world is coming to and end! Just cause you're the last doesn't mean you have to go ahead in a hurry and loose it to some random."

"Yea…true" Sakura sighed and huffed all in one.

"Well, what do you think about Li? I think you two would be great together."

"Yeah I would consider him, but id have to get too know him more before I could look at him more than a friend. Besides he could even turn out like the rest of the guys out there"

"Fair enough. But not every guy is like that! Just because you haven't had a good relationship before doesn't mean you will never come across a better one!"

"Yeah, yeah. I know… but still, I'm not going to fall into any trap that easily."

"Whatever…" Tomoyo sighed and looked towards the sky. Ignoring her actions Sakura just went onto a new topic.

"So, who are you going to invite at this get together? Anyone else that I don't know about?"

"Uh well not a lot of people… Just you, me, Eriol, Syaoran, Meiling, Takashi, Chiharu and Chihiro I guess. So no, no one else is coming. It's nothing much really, just getting to now everyone that's all."

"Oh…ok." The two reached Tomoyo's house and went inside. For the whole afternoon sakura and Tomoyo were catching up on what they did during the holidays, what clothes they should wear for the party, what stuff they should do there and Tomoyo's relationship with Eriol.

"Okay, see ya Tomoyo-Chan!" "Bye Kura!" Sakura waved Tomoyo goodbye and made her way towards her house. Once there, she let herself inside.

"Otoosan, Oneesan, I'm home." She placed her bag down and was about to make her way upstairs when her annoying brother stopped her.

"And where have you been kajuu?"

"I'm not a kajuu! And for your information, I was out at Tomoyos." Sakura looked away and huffed with her head held high in the air.

"Hmph, okay." Touya glanced at Sakura with a raised eyebrow before turning away.

"Well Otoosan is out. He'll be back later on tonight. So make sure you welcome him home!"

"Okay then, I'll be up in my room." After Sakura showered she had dinner, talked with her father and brother then went to bed. During the night she had been tossing and turning, having too much on her mind to let sleep take her. She looked at the clock which read 1:00am. She decided to get some fresh air. So she climbed out of her window and grabbed onto the trees branch then made her way up onto the roof frustrated about not being able to sleep.

"What's wrong with me?! Why can't I stop thinking about him?" she lay down and looked up into the night sky. I made a promise!" Sakura was having conflict with her brain and heart as she disputed against herself. you know its going to happen again. But he's nice. That's how the always seem 'nice'. You know its history repeating itself. But what if its not? He could be different. "Gah! Shut up brain!" Sakura slapped her hand to her forehead trying to relax.

At Li's House.

"Arghh! Why?! This is gay! I hate this!" Syaoran jumped out of his bed, grumbling in frustration and climbed down from his room onto the grass.

"Sigh… I've gotta take a walk… I don't get it… how can someone have such an effect? There's no way its love, hell, I don't even know what love is for crying out loud! Sigh" he looked up to the sky in hope that something could answer his problems. In that second it almost seemed as if it was a dream come true or a nightmare waiting to happen. On the roof of a house, something caught his attention.

"Is that a girl?..." as he walked closer the shape was now more clear in his vision. A girl with a yellow tank top and short yellow boxer shorts was on the roof looking up into the sky. He looked at the girl in awe.

"Wow… she's-beautiful…" she had the body of a goddess. Her clothes showed all of her curves and her long hair reflected a light glow from the moons raise. His eyes were stuck on her as he walked, almost like he was in a trance. Suddenly out of nowhere he collided with one of the street lamps face first after realizing its presence a second too late.

"Gah!!! Stupid bloody pole! Uhg… fucking hell that hurt…." He put his hands over his face in pain.

"Ow my nose crap… is it bleeding?" Sakura shot up after hearing the cursing coming from Syaoran.

"You ok?"

"Uh yea fine…I'm fine thanks!" he lifted his hand from his face as he waved to signal he was alright.

"Wait a sec… Syaoran? Is that you?"

"Huh…yeah? I'm sorry but, do I no you?"

"Hehe, ah yea… let me think, you came to my school today, met Tomoyo, Chiharu and Takashi. I go by the name Sakura… ring a bell?"

"Oh, hey! Haha sorry I didn't really recognize you seeing as though its dark and I just collided into a pole face first, but other than that! Yeah of course I remember you."

"Haha yeah, well you want to come up?"

"Sure, just give me a second." Syaoran climbed up the branch without trouble and landed softly onto the roof.

"Wow your quick."

"Yeah I've done a lot of martial arts and climb a lot so that wasn't too hard."

"Oh okay, well I see that your tough and have quick reflex's by the way you handled your walking...into…a…pole…without…noticing…technique. Bahaha."

"Thanks…"

"Awe I'm sorry hehe…anyways, how's your head?. It does look a bit swollen…"

"Nah I'm okay, don't worry it's nothing…" Syaoran just waved it off with his hand.

"Okay. So what brings you here?" Sakura moved her gaze towards her feet as she felt her face get hot.

"Couldn't sleep, you?"

"Same." There was a silence as the two embraced the night sky.

"Syaoran."

"Yeah?"

"Do you miss home? I mean it's only been a couple of days since you arrived but what do you think of it so far?"

"Depends, here is nice and so is Hong Kong, but the people here are different. To different cultures but yet both good in their own ways you know?"

"Yeah I see what you mean. sigh" Sakura closed her eyes at the frustration she was currently feeling. Syaoran turned his head almost immediately after hearing this.

"What's up with you?"

"Huh?" Sakura curled into a ball then looked lousily up to Syaoran, then looked back down towards her feet.

"You sighed… Has it got to do with why you can't sleep by any chance?"

"Yeah it's just… (if only he new he was the reason.)" Sakura thought how she could make it sound like she was talking about someone else.

"Have you ever been confused about someone that you can't figure your feelings for them and where they fit in?" Syaoran felt the urge to laugh but held it in.

"(If only she new I feel that way now.) Yeah, its hard…I kind of have that at the moment."

"Really? Do you mind saying who? Or do you think its best to keep it to yourself until you figure it out?"

"I think its best to figure it out first before I go saying something I might regret. It's best to analyze my situation before I do something that could turn into a disaster."

"Yeah, I guess your right. I'm finding it kind of hard to do that. But last time I made a decision like this it was when I picked my boyfriend, and I didn't think over the consequences before he cheated on me. So I don't want to have to go through that again… it hurt too much."

"Hey if anything happens you'll have me, I promise." Syaoran felt obligated to protect Sakura. Even though they just met, something inside of him told him it was his duty. He felt strange that he only did this to Sakura and not other girls.

"(But what if you knew and rejected me? Then I wouldn't have you.) While Sakura was thinking in doubt, Syaoran repeating his feelings inside his head.

"(I promise I won't let the same thing happen to you again. But if anything did happen I will help you…no one deserves to feel that pain. Even after what I've done. I now realize it was wrong.)" "I won't let the same thing happen to you again. I swear." He gave Sakura a warm smile. She replied with watery eyes. Remembering the scene.

"Aw come here." He opened his arms to offer her support. She looked up and saw him with his arms stretched out to offer her comfort. She gladly took it as she leaned into his embrace.

"Thank you." She said feeling safe as the two looked into the sky. They stayed like that for a while until he felt Sakura breathing slow and her muscles loosen. He looked to see her facial expression and saw that she had fallen asleep.

Syaorans P.O.V

I looked at her almost like in a trance, not wanting to look away. She looks so beautiful and peaceful. Slowly I lifted her up, not wanting to wake her. I placed her in my arms bridal style until I reached the end of the roof. I placed her head over my shoulder so her head wouldn't fall back on impact as I jumped and landed on the branch. Once I reached the window I climbed in, still careful about the way I held her. I placed her in her bed and watched her for a couple of seconds before turned to leave. She suddenly stirred and moaned something. I couldn't hear properly to understand what she said. So I walked towards the bed yet again.

Normal P.O.V

"Syaoran." Sakura mumbled yet again. This time Syaoran heard what she was saying. She was frowning in her sleep.

"Syaoran." He raised an eyebrow and laid down on the bed careful not to wake her as he took her into his embrace.

"(Is it me? Am I the reason for her trouble?)" "Shhh…" he said softly as he rocked her slowly. She stopped stirring and fell peacefully into a deeper sleep. He released her slowly and sat, embracing her presence.

"(She looks so beautiful. I can't believe that was her…she looks so different when she not in her uniform. Why does she hide herself like that? She truly is an angel… I think, I do like her…I'm sure I do.") He pecked her on the head lightly and brushed a strain of hair away from her face. He grabbed a pen and wrote a message on some paper before placing it next to her. With that he climbed out slowly and shut the window.

"Sleep tight Sakura, ill see you tomorrow." Then jumped down and landed gracefully onto the grass and headed back to his house.
