Chapter 4 - The day of love and hope

"Sakura!" Shaoran exclaimed, he was behind the school building.

"Shaoran, what are you doing here?" Sakura asked.

"I was just doing typical boring homework. But, that is not why I called you here." Shaoran looked.

"Sakura.. I wanted to ask you a very important question." Shaoran said.

"What is it, Shaoran? Some missing clow card? Because Kero was just about to leave and.."

"No." Shaoran interrupted. "Just listen."

Sakura looked at him and wondered what he was going to say to her. Her heart beat faster. Her eyes never looked off him.

"Sakura. We've been collecting clow cards for a long time. And on that day of the sealed card.. it was emotion I never felt before. But now that we are older and this emotion is more understandable..I wanted to ask you something. This might be really shocking but I wanted to ask you this for a very long time." Shaoran said, his face turned red.

"Ask me..what?" Sakura asked.

"Sakura. Do you.." Shaoran blushed more, his courage going down.

"Shaoran.. tell me. Please." Sakura encouraged.

"Sakura.. do you want to be MY MATE!" Shaoran asked his face so red he couldn't get his eyes off Sakura.

"Shaoran. YES! I LOVE YOU ALOT AND EVER SINCE THAT SEALED CARD DAY, I WILL NEVER FORGET THE MOMENT WHEN I JUMPED AND SAID THE WORDS THAT WERE MEANT TO BE. SHAORAN I LOVE YOU!" Sakura exclaimed.

Sakura blushed as much as Shaoran did. The moment of staring ended, and they hugged and kissed each other.

"Sakura, I hope things will never be different." Shaoran said and he hugged and kissed her again.

"Shaoran, I hope so too." Sakura replied.

Tomoyo came with Meiling.

"Sakura? Where were you? I was thinking on having a picnic for your 18th birthday." Tomoyo said happily.

"I think it's a great idea. Let's have the picnic at the park." said Sakura.

"Great! I'll set it up. I'll even bring a few costumes along!" Tomoyo said and she grabbed Meiling with her.

"Shaoran. Your invited." Sakura said.

She ran back to her house before Shaoran could even answer her.

"Whoa there, Sakura. Slow down. You look happy. What happened?" Dad asked.

"Oh it was great, dad! My class surprised me and we celebrated my birthday. Even though it was yesterday." Sakura smiled.

"Oh, that is great Sakura-chan!" Dad exclaimed.

"We are even celebrating my birthday at the park. We are having a picnic!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Great, Sakura! I'm sure you'll have a great time with your friends then." Dad said and smiled.

"I will!" exclaimed Sakura and she ran upstairs.

"Let me out of here!" Kero exclaimed.

"Sorry, Kero." Sakura apologised and unzipped her backpack.

"Jeez, what were you doing? I was tossed around inside. Were you running again, Sakura-chan?" Kero questioned.

"Yes, I was Kero. And I am sorry but I just had the best day ever!" Sakura exclaimed.

"What happened?" Kero asked.

"Well, Shaoran asked me out!" Sakura replied.

"Oh no. That boy?" Kero asked.

"Yes that boy. You know, the boy who helped me with capturing the clow cards. You should know him already." Sakura replied.

"Ugh. Why did HE ask you out?" Kero asked.

"You sound a bit jealous Kero." Sakura said.

"Jealous? Hah! I would marry the desserts you give me." Kero laughed.

Sakura giggled and she looked at the clow cards.

"What's the matter Sakura?" Kero asked

"Nothing it's just.. I miss capturing them. Sometimes I wish I could just say windy and capture them all over again." Sakura said.

"Oh no, we went through so many episodes with those cards! I am not putting up with that again." Kero said.

"I know, I know. But anyway. It's getting late I should get to bed. Night Kero." Sakura said.

"Night." Kero replied.

All the lights turned off and the house was sleeping.
