At Kinomoto Residence (9:58am)
By the time Sakura had finished her toast, the door bell rang she excitedly ran to her door but carefully so she won't wreck the kimono she was currently wear.
When she opened the door it revealed a charming honey brown haired lad standing in her doorway . He was dressed in a white long sleeved buttoned shirt under a dark blue jacket that could be mistaken for black with a navy blue tie tied loosely around his collar and black pants and black Nikes to finish it off.
Sakura stood at her doorway staring at her date. The only words she could use to describes Syaoran's outfit was bad boy style. He let out a light cough and she snapped out of her staring. Syaoran looked at his watch that was wrapped around his left wrist.
"Well, it looks like I have come right on time." Syaoran stated. "Kero!! I will be home before dinner!! And if you get hungry there is food in the fridge!!" Sakura called upstairs to Kero who was playing video games in her room. "YAY!!" he replied back while concentrating hard on his game.
"Shall we go?" Syaoran asked, she nodded and closed the door behind her and locked it.

At Shirashi Shrine's main gates
When the couple arrived there they spotted their friends waiting for them at the gates. Sakura waved her arm in the air and walked up to the couple. "Ohayo Tomoyo, Eriol-kun" she greeted. "Ohayo Sakura/-san, Syaoran-kun" the couple replied in unison.
Sakura looked at Eriol's attire. He wore a light yellow turtle neck and a navy blue jacket buttoned over it along with black pants and a pair of black shoes. She thought gentleman style.
Tomoyo whipped out her camera and started to take shots of Syaoran and Sakura together. After a few satisfied shots "Let's go in and enjoy the rest of the day! And tonight there is going to be fireworks!" And dragged Sakura into the lively festival, the boys just followed behind having their own little conversation.
"So when are you going to confess to her?" Syaoran flushed at the sudden question and turned his head "Wha-What are yo-you talking ab-about?" he shuttered. Eriol sighed "You know what I mean, Tomoyo and me know that you have a thing for Sakura-chan"
When he said thing he made speak marks with his fingers. Syaoran took a while til he responded "Well, maybe later on okays…" He muttered but Eriol could still hear.
"Oh well good luck with it" he laughed softly. And he saw Tomoyo calling to him and waving her hand in the air. "We better get back to them, shall we?" Syaoran nodded as they both walked towards their dates.
Sakura saw a game stall and on the prize shelf she saw a white bear with its own little red tie that hung loosely around its neck. Syaoran watched her stare at something and turned to see the bear she was staring at.
"You want that bear?" Sakura snapped her head to look at Syaoran. "Uh…it's cute…" she mumbled. Syaoran smiled and walked over to the game stall. "How much is it to play this game?" he asked the person at the stall. "Just 3 for 5 throws, you want to try?" Syaoran gave the man money and received 5 balls to throw and a pyramid of cans.
Sakura walked over to see what he was doing. And stood there and watched him skilfully throw the ball right in the middle of the pyramid and all the cans knocked over. But there was one last can that was wobbling and Syaoran was cursing in his mind fall damnit FALL!! the can was wobbling so for a continuous 2 minutes and Syaoran got impatient and threw another ball at the can and knocked it off.
Sakura giggled. The man asked "Which prize do you want young lad?" Syaoran pointed to the bear Sakura was staring at earlier "That one please oji-san" The man smiled and went over to the shelf and took the bear from its position. And handed it to Syaoran.
He turned and placed the bear in Sakura's hands. Her eyes widened "Did you win this for me?" Syaoran turned and bent his head down a little to hide his blush and nodded. She smiled "Arigatou Syaoran!" and she cuddled the bear in her arms.
Afterwards they walked around the stalls and played games. The girls got hungry and asked the boys if they were hungry as well then they all agreed to walk around the food stalls to find something to eat. They had octopus, corn, chocolate banana, sweet dumplings and many more yummy foods til they were full.
Tomoyo had an idea and whispered to her partner about it, he nodded "Hey you guys, me and Tomoyo will be playing more games and walking around and then pray at the temple. So we are going to go off and do those if you don't mind?" Sakura nodded and they waved goodbye to each other.
Syaoran knew what those two were up to and turned to face Sakura because she tugged on his jacket. "Syaoran I know this pond nearby and I want to go there. Can we go there please?" she looked so innocent that Syaoran couldn't say no and nodded.
He let her lead the way towards the pond she wanted to see. And they came to a large and beautiful pond. Where the moon reflected off its waters and lilies sprouted and fireflies dipped and swooped around the pond.
Sakura walked to a grassy area and sat there and gazed into the waters. Syaoran just stood near her. He felt quite bored and thought he should play a small prank on Sakura. So he crept behind her.
Sakura stopped breathing due to the fact she heard a husky voice whispering in her ear "It isn't good to be alone little girl…why don't you have some fun with me?" Sakura screamed and spun her head and ended up face-to-face with Syaoran.
He grinned and she angrily pouted and turned back to face the water. "Aww…I'm sorry Sakura I felt a little bored so yeah I thought maybe I should play a prank on you." She turned around and still had a slight angry expression on her face.
She patted the spot next to her and Syaoran raised an eyebrow and sat next to her. She turned to him and poked him really hard in the arm with two fingers. He winced and held his arm "Ow what was that for?" And lifted his arm to see already a light purple bruise on his arm.
She poked her tongue at him. "That was for playing that little trick on me." she stated and grinned evilly.
He was about to complain so she quickly changed the subject "What is the time?" Syaoran looked at his watch and answered her question "It's only 5:17pm, why ask?" She gasped "Oh NO!! I'm in charge of dinner tonight!" He sweat dropped and stood up with her.
"I will walk with you since I need to be home before dinner as well." She nodded and they made their way towards the exit and walked home together in silence.
When they got to Sakura's doorstep she opened the gate slightly and turned around to Syaoran "Arigatou Syaoran for inviting me today, I had a great time!" she smiled and faint blush tinted her cheeks. Syaoran laughed softly "That's good. I had a great time as well. It's about time I got home. Oyasumi Sakura…" he whispered the last part.
She turned to open her gates again when she heard her name called she spun around and Syaoran bent and kissed her forehead. She froze on the spot and blush madly. He laughed lightly and walked towards his apartment.
She stood there frozen like a statue but was heating like a person who had spicy food all day and lightly squeezed the bear Syaoran had won for her at the festival before she ran into her house and into her room. She jumped onto her bed and stared at the bear. She wanted to name it so she decided to name it after Syaoran.
She placed the bear on her study table and grabbed new fresh clothes and walked into the bathroom. When she just turned on the water she heard banging on the bathroom door.
"SAKURA!!I'M DIEING WITHOUT FOOD HERE!!HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO GET HOME!!DID YOU FORGET I'M HERE!?" Kero was whining and shouting angrily at the door. Sakura opened the door a crack and asked "What about the food that was in the fridge?"
Kero grinned sheepishly "Well that went somewhere…" and patted his stomach. Sakura sweat dropped and closed the door. "I will make dinner after I have a shower and if you are patient enough I will make dessert for you as well." Kero lightened up quickly "YAY!!"
