Kiss By A Rose
Chap10: Eep…!
-Normal POV-
It was the end of the weekdays and Saturday was here! Sakura and Syaoran were walking around the town to look for a present and it was Naoko, Sakura's close friend.
"Hoe! I don't know what to buy for Naoko-chan! Chocolates aren't right, teddy bears are not her thing…"
Sakura stared at a sketch pad, deep in thought… 'Art isn't her forte either…' She continued staring at it… 'Paper… paper… pape—'
"BOOKS! That's it! A story book would be really good for her…" (A/N): Hey! –blocking out the 'duhs!'- she is dense y'know…
Syaoran smiled at his girlfriend's excitement… He knew he couldn't live without her now that he knew her. She was different from other girls… Girls back home would ha---
'Why the heck am I thinking of home!' thought Syaoran with a confused and angry face…
Suddenly he saw a hand waving in front of him… He looked up at realized it was Sakura…
"Ne, Syaoran… are you okay… you seemed fustrated… are you okay?"
Syaoran nodded and took her hand… Together, they went into a book store…
-Book Store-
"Hoe… Syaoran… what kind of book should I give her?"
"What does she usually read or talk about?"
"H-h-horror books and movies… I KNOW! That's what I would give her but… ano… Syaoran… could you pick out one for me… I really don't want to know what it's about and the cover page… if there is one…"
Syaoran smiled a smile of amusement when he saw her cute childishness…
"Sure…"
As Sakura quickly paid for the book, Syaoran studied his girlfriend… Her amazing emerald green eyes… Her beautiful short brown hair… Her ever-smiling face…
'My girl…' he thought.
Syaoran gave a small smile at that thought… It sounded so right…
"Syaoran? Could we go over to the bakery shop? I want to get something… Kinda hungry…"
Syaoran nods his head…
-Yukoi Bakery Shop-
As Sakura and Syaoran walked into the bakery, Sakura heard a familiar voice…
"Welcome to Yukoi Bakery Shop. How may I he—"
Touya Kinomoto: 23 years old, mean, direct and loves his sister too damn much…
'Uh oh…' thought Sakura.
Touya narrowed his eyebrows when he saw his sister…….with a gaki.
"Kaijuu… who is this gaki!"
"Onii-chan! Sakura no kaijuu and Syaoran is not a gaki!"
"I'm her boyfriend…"
Sakura froze, horrified that Syaoran had just said the words she had been dreading to say to her brother for the past few days…
'Eep! Syaoran and I are so dead… where's otou-san when you need him…?' thought Sakura.
"Her who…?"
DING DING DING
Our beloved trio turned around to see who had suddenly entered the already tense bakery shop…
The two siblings were surprised to see………Kinomoto Fujitaka walking through the door with a happy face…
"Touya? Sakura? What are you two doing here?"
"OTOU-SAN! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!" screams Sakura as she hugs her now, beloved father.
Fujitaka: kind, always happy, friendly… in other words, the opposite of Touya… (A/N:LOL! Harhar!)
Fujitaka looks at his daughter in a state of bewilderment and amusement… He pats her head and looks at Syaoran…
"Why, hello there… May I ask who you are?" asks Fujitaka with a smile on his face.
"He's a gaki with a police record…" Touya smirks.
Syaoran holds back his many profanities and ounches knowing that Sakura's father was there and he wanted to have a good first impression.
"Syaoran Li. I'm Sakura's…boyfriend."
"Oh… are you now…? Ne, Sakura-chan, you're very lucky to have such a gentleman."
Sakura nods her head and smiles a big sweet smile at Syaoran. Syaoran felt his spirits lift and soar knowing that her father approved of him…
"Li-san, why don't you come over today and have dinner with us…? I would like to get to know you better as well…"
Syaoran nods his head and Fujitaka smiled at him. He then turned to Sakura, "Is there something you wanted to buy from here Sakura-chan?"
"Hai otou-san… I wanted to get a chocolate doughnut but I lost my appetite when I saw 'nii-chan…" said Sakura, dully.
"Kaijuu, don't blame it on me… I didn't have anything to do with it…"
There was rustling and then Sakura saw Touya hand out a small bag…
"Here, a doughnut. My treat."
Sakura smiles and takes the doughnut… She gives her brother and father a peck on the cheek.
"Arigato 'nii-chan! Ja ne!"
Fujitaka smiles and looks at his son, "you won't live knowing that she hates you would you?"
He didn't need an answer from Touya. He knew that he could always count on him to take care of his sweet angel. He took out a bag of flour and butter.
"It's chocolate cake for dessert since we are going to have a visitor tonight."
Touya nodded and attended to a customer who had just come in…
Somehow, he knew he could trust the gaki to take care of his little sister… 'If he hurts her, I'll break all his bones… twice.'
-S+S-
"Your father's nice Sakura… your brother's well… uh…"
Sakura had an amused smile on her face.
"Arrogant, big time jerk and a pain in the ass?"
Syaoran stared at her and slowly nodded.
"I know… I've known since I was born…" said Sakura with a smirk.
Syaoran gave her a smile and held her hand… They walked all the way back to her house.
-Front gates-
Sakura turned to face Syaoran.
"Do you want to come in?"
"Nah, I want to freshen up before I come over… I'll see you later."
Syaoran gives her a sweet kiss and leaves.
Sakura sighs contentedly and walked into her house… With Syaoran in the picture, her life seemed so wonderful… She quickly changes and helps her father set up the kitchen for the night's dinner… Somehow, she had a feeling it was going to be okay…
