Exams are finally over! –Dances around the room- Boy, Literature was kind of hard. Anyways, so sorry for not updating sooner, because I've been busy these couple of weeks. I was too busy 'studying' for my exams. And too busy watching too much Bleach. LOLS. I'm addicted.

Disclaimer – CCS does and never will belong to me. "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" doesn't belong to me either.

Hope you enjoy this long overdue chapter! As for the Japanese words I typed down, if you don't know the meaning feel free to ask!

Oh yeah, starting from now, I'll do a NORMAL POV, except for special occasions.

-NORMAL POV-

She was still there. Her head down low, right palm on her chest, heavy breathing and cheeks redder than a tomato.

Let's just say that it wasn't everyday you get to see Sakura Kinomoto in this state, or so she thought.

But this is only the beginning for her, I guess.

"Eh? Sakura, what happened?" Trina asked, upon seeing her friend staggering towards the candy counter. Sakura immediately looked up, surprised at hearing her name being called. She gave out a shaky laugh.

"A-hahahaha! Nothing's wrong, Trina-chan! Everything's just alright! Peachy!" She gave out her second shaky laugh. Too bad she's horrible at lying, Trina thought. Something must have really happened.

"Sakura, you were walking like a zombie a while ago who looked like they just got her brains dissected then now you're using words like 'peachy'. And you just wasted three minutes of our lunch break, you know!" Trina wasn't angry, actually. She's just impatient she's not going to tell her (yet!) what happened.

"Gomen! Gomen! Alright, let's go eat lunch now, ok? Ok! Let's go!" Sakura took her friend's hand and started to walking towards entrance of the Mayflower.

"Sakura! Slow down! What about you things? Your wallet?"

"Huh? Oh! I almost forgot! Haha! Gomennasai!" She raced back to get her belongings and came back within 10 seconds.

Trina grabbed her by the shoulders with both hands … "Sakura. Calm down." She said, in a stern voice. "Breathe. Inhale. Exhale." She did as she was told.

"Now, have you finally calmed down?"

"Uh. Yeah…?" Her response sounded more of a question.

"Ok. I'll accept that. So, would you mind telling me why you started getting hyper? You only do so when you're tense. And you don't get tensed up easily." Trina said, sweetly. Her tone of voice was almost 'cutesy'. The word 'curious' should have been plastered on her forehead in big bold letters, Sakura thought.

"Alright, alright. You're probably going to persuade me until I spit out the truth." Trina gave her a big grin.

"I'm surprised you know me that well, Kinomoto!"

"I almost regretted that, Asagi."

And so, on the way … she told her what happened…

"And then! And then, he slammed the door right in my face!" She absolutely was fuming, at what he did.

"I see," Was Trina's simple reply. She took a sip at her cup of tea. Sakura looked at her weirdly.

"That's all you can say? 'I see?'" Trina raised an eyebrow.

"Then what did you want me to say? 'Oh Sakura-chan! I absolutely pity you! Why the heck didn't he go further and make passionate love to you in the comfort of his own hotel room?' Is that what you wanted me to say?" She said. Sakura looked at her even more weirdly. As if Trina just grew three more heads.

"Awww. Don't give me that look, Sakura. You know you wanted him to continue!" She was now trying to hold back her laughter, clutching her stomach but without success.

"Trina … there are other people here, you know …"

"And you're not denying what I said just now! Sugoii ne, Sakura. You must really like Li-san a lot!" By now, she stopped laughing. She gave her a big, mischievous grin instead. "When you see Tomoyo-chan again, tell her to give my thanks."

"What the hell for?" Sakura Kinomoto was now officially pissed.

"It's a secret." Trina gave her a wink.

"Sadist."

MEANWHILE

"That was interesting." He said to himself. Syaoran Li just couldn't help himself just now, getting under that girl's skin was just so … fun. Out of all the girls he's met, Sakura Kinomoto was the one who intrigued him the most. And he just met her! It hasn't even been one week since they met! And now he's actually enjoying it when she's around.

He looked at the package lying on his desk, the one that he dropped somewhere earlier. The same one which she coincidentally gave back to him. It was very spontaneous of him, doing what he did to her just now, right after she tried to walk away. But boy, maybe she was mad at what he did? Maybe she was mad at the fact that he slammed the door in her face? If she was, he would be really…

Wait a minute, when did he start caring about what other people would think? Especially what she would think?

Get a grip. She's someone you've just met and played with for a little while, he mentally told himself.

Soundlessly, a sakura flower flew from his bedroom window and landed right next to the package. He came over and touched the petals one by one, marveling at its softness.

Softness that could only compare with a certain someone's skin, right after he felt it for his own self.

What are you trying to do to me, Kinomoto?

TBC

Well, that felt nice! Continuing with this story really brings back memories. –Starts daydreaming-. Anyways, I know I've practically kept those who have been reading this story waiting for two whole months, I think. I've been sidetracked, we just had our mid-year exams and I can't afford failing, now could I? And I sort of forgot about my stories. To tell you the truth, I don't know whether this is going anywhere or not. But I'm not going to discontinue with this just yet!

See you next chapter!
