A NOT so typical high school drama.

Beware: Slightly adult themes, but not lemon. Which is why the story is K+ rated.

Author's note: I was gonna write a chapter on one of my favourite ideas so far, not as good as the food fight though, but…! Anyway, I just realized the Syaoran - Sakura chemistry is just not enough. Being good at school chemistry alone is not enough, is it? (wink wink!) SO that chapter, the lovely chapter will have to wait. Maybe it'll be the next, or the one after that! Depends on your reviews. Also, SORRY for the delay in updating. Had half yearly exams and stuff…

Wanwan san/ Waterfall-kunoichi : I agree with you. I didn't find it that cute when I was writing it (it just popped in my head, you know:); you know doing it in the middle of the night; doesn't give room for much emotions and all. But I read it later once I got your review, and I found it cute too. Although, I feel the Syaoran's thoughts bit sucked a bit.

Ellabell: I know the ending of the chapter seemed a bit rushed and abrupt, right? Well, here's your update.

AngelEmCuti: I'm really glad you found it cute, I thought it was getting a bit too touchy and emotional, you know :D

Thanks to the three of you for reviewing!!

This chapter and the next is also dedicated to one of my best friends Natasha and her 'guy' Mandhir. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to review guys!!

Chapter 5: You and I.

It's 4:30 am in the morning; the members of the Kinomoto household were fast asleep. Until…

'Tring'. 'Tring'.

The telephone in Sakura Kinomoto's room rang.

Damn, what on earth is that noise, Sakura thought groggily, not even attempting to open her eyes.

Oh shit, what if the house next to us caught fire and that was the fire brigade?

Needless to say, her eyes opened in a flash and she groaned when she realized it was her telephone.

"Hello?" she said in a tired voice. "Good morning, Saks. Long time, no see!" replied Tomoyo's weirdly cheery voice.

"Tomoyo, we saw each other just last night. What on earth could persuade you to wake up and call me at this ungodly hour? No, scratch that, What on earth could persuade you to call me, me of all people at this ungodly hour?" said Sakura yawning.

"I couldn't sleep."

"And why was it you couldn't call darling Eriol, again?"asked Sakura coolly, knowing Tomoyo was probably blushing a beet red back in her home; it was only fair that she elicit some amusement for being woken at such an ungodly hour.

"Sakura!"

"…"

"Aren't you even gonna ask me why I can't get sleep?"

"No, because I know you're gonna tell me without me needing to," said Sakura.

"Fine. Is there something going on between you and Eriol?" came the bombshell Sakura hadn't been expecting.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" Sakura shrieked, nearly dropping the phone.

Shaking her head, she thought, great. I should have expected this. Damn Eriol for making me handle this situation. Idiot.

"No Sakura, please tell me. I need to know," she said in a choked voice, that made Sakura suspect that she was crying and trying very hard to hide it.

"Tomoyo… he's just my friend. And my friend's secret-crush," she said giggled, thinking this girl sure has it bad for him.

"He's not my crush!" she jumped at the sudden increase in pitch in Tomoyo's voice.

"I never said he was...You however gave yourself away!" said Sakura smirking.

"Anyway, why were you flirting with him?" she said, puzzled.

"I wasn't…flirting with him," and it was Sakura's turn to blush. (Notice the emphasis on the 'him'!)

"But if you weren't… wait I get it now…" she said slowly, and Sakura could have sworn she had a grin on her face; similar to when she'd joked with Syaoran about how Sakura was looking hot at the concert.

"Uh-oh, what do you get?" asked Sakura.

"SYAORAN AND SAKURA SITTING IN A TREE, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, FIRST CAME LOVE, THEN--"

"STOP!!" yelled Sakura attempting to hide her head under her shirt. She would surely die of embarrassment, if Tomoyo teased her longer than this.

"It's not like that," Sakura said in a small voice, once Tomoyo had stopped abruptly.

"It sure is, he's got you really whipped, so much so that you flirted with him on stage," said Tomoyo.

"Look who's talking," Sakura mumbled.

"What? Didn't catch that," said Tomoyo who'd heard it fully well. "Nothing," replied Sakura. "Its so cute; you've started grumbling like him," Tomoyo squealed.

"Huh?"

"Yeah, didn't you notice, after I made the remark about you looking hot and all yesterday?"

"Sure.-yawns-. Tomoyo, now that your question is finally answered, may I please get some sleep now?" she whined reminding her of Eriol.

Eriol's blue eyes are so amazing…

"TOMOYO!!"

"Huh?"

"Can I go to sleep now?"

"Yeah, I almost forgot, I was supposed to wake you up so you could finish the math assignment remember?"

"Holy crap! Talk to you later, 'Moyo."

SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK. SK.

Time:6:45 am

Place: Kinomoto household.

"Kaiju! Shouldn't you getting ready for school?" said Touya, Sakura's older brother.

"I-am-not-a-kaiju," she gritted through her teeth but didn't bother to stomp her brother's feet because she didn't have the time.

Ding dong.

"Please Touya?!" she said pouting. He grumbled to himself as he answered her unspoken plea and answered the door.

"Who're you?"

"Syaoran Li, Sakura's friend and classmate," another familiar male voice said.

There was an awkward pause while Touya looked at him from top to bottom, glaring menacingly at the boy all the while.

"She's in the drawing room," he grunted as he opened the door and let the brown haired boy in.

Touya then headed for his own room upstairs after showing Li the drawing room.

Inside, Syaoran found Sakura pacing, seemingly going through what seemed to be the last few pages of her assignment. She was so preoccupied that she paid no heed to him and he smirked as he realized, she hadn't noticed him enter. (A/N: You'll see why he smirked!)

Damn, why is this assignment so darn long? I've still got to go through 6 more pages, thought Sakura frustratedly.

Suddenly she felt a pair of arms go around her waist and lift her high up in the air.

Shit, what the hell-, she thought.

Realizing that she was about to scream, the unknown person behind her immediately lowered her taking away one of his arms, only to cover her mouth.

Sakura was inwardly panicking; where on earth is Touya when you need him?

"Sakura…" said a laughing voice in her ear; she immediately pushed the hand away, which coiled itself around her waist and turned in those arms to face Syaoran and flicked his forehead, "You idiot! You scared the living hell out of me!" she breathed out slowly calming down.

"Ouch, I thought you'd like it," he said rubbing his forehead where she'd flicked him.

"How would you react if you were walking on a street and a random girl came and hugged you from behind before you turned around to actually see her face?" she retorted.

"I'd pull her closer, because I'd know you'd be the only one to do that," he smirked.

"You wish," she retorted but couldn't help smiling all the same. She then walked to the other side of the room and resumed pacing.

Again she felt Syaoran's arms encircle her waist and muttered, "Li…!"

But before she could complete what she was going to say, she felt something come in contact with her neck, and she froze as Syaoran nuzzled her neck and inhaled her scent.

"Kinomoto, you're smell is just so addicting," he said as he contemplated giving in to the temptation of kissing her there.

Meanwhile, Sakura's thoughts had gone haywire; his warm breaths had left her exposed vulnerable skin tingling at the contact. To make matters worse, Syaoran pulled her even closer so that her butt was pressed against his thighs and their bodies were glued together. She could feel the muscles in his hard toned chest; they were tracing against her back. Her mind was going completely crazy, trying to fight between sense and desire, when her body was putting up such a good fight. For one crazy moment, she wanted to feel his chest bared against hers. Giving in to her temptations, she abruptly turned and facing him, placing her hands on the sides of his face, she pulled his face down and kissed him roughly, the urgency being conveyed through her kiss.

Syaoran's lips opened in surprise, he hadn't expected Sakura to react that way. Taking advantage of Syaoran's reaction, Sakura's tongue slid in and lightly brushed against his. Syaoran came back to earth at this; and growled as his tongue started fighting with hers for dominance. Somehow his hand slipped beneath her top and he caressed her back. Tremors ran across Sakura's spine as she felt him touch her skin.

"Ahem," a voice was heard at which both of them sprang apart, Sakura flushed and Syaoran flustered.

Uh-oh, a cough. Now that was definitely not good news.

Author's note: Haha, I love cliffhangers, don't you? Well, to be truthful, I don't, cause people don't update on cliffhangers until ages and by that time most readers lose interest or forget what the story was about (I know I do!). Anyway, who do you think interrupted them? And I forgot to ask in the previous chapter Sing for me alone, who do you think is Yukito's crush? I've already left a hint or two in that chapter about … the person.

Also, there are like so many alerts on this story…what I want to know is why you guys don't review? If I don't get enough reviews this time…well muahaha be ready to deal with my evil self. Let me make this clear:

More reviews mean faster updates.

If I don't get enough reviews, I certainly wont be updating this for about 2 weeks. If you don't want that to happen, well you know the procedure… click that potassium-lilac coloured button and give me your comments/suggestions!
