Chapter 20: Let’s just call it love

When they went downstairs, they saw a teenager with wet chestnut hair taking off his jacket…

“You bastard! Where the F-!” Eriol covered Tomoyo’s mouth with his hand

The amber-eyed teenager turned to clash into dark angry pools of amethyst. He backed up an inch. Tomoyo bit Eriol’s hand and broke free.

She yelled, “You insolent little brat!”

“Don’t make too much of a fuss. Or Sakura will wake up.” Eriol shushed

“See! Now you’re on his side!” Tomoyo exclaimed as she pointed a slim finger at Syaoran

“Hey! I’m not defending him! I am doing it for the benefit of Sakura’s health!” Eriol exclaimed

Syaoran coolly sat down on the couch and began watching T.V.

“What do you think you’re doing young man!” Tomoyo put a hand on her hip

“Hn.”

“You've got a lot of explaining to do.” Tomoyo hissed

“Hn.”

“Answer the question.” Tomoyo snarled

“That wasn’t a question.” Syaoran snorted

Eriol shook his head in disapproval.

“You know full well what I am talking about, so answer me!” Tomoyo shouted

“Would you quiet down, I’m trying to watch T.V.” Syaoran glared

“YOU PRAT!” The young teenager walked up to Syaoran and slapped him across the face

Eriol and Ichigo gasped at Tomoyo’s harsh punishment. The young man with amber hair flinched and touched his cheek. It was stinging…

“Now start explaining.” Tomoyo ordered

Syaoran ignored her. Once again, Tomoyo slapped Syaoran.

She started crying, “You’re such an insensitive jerk!”

“What’s going on down there!” a small squeaky voice coughed

Syaoran stared wide-eyed at the small figure coming down the steps. When she slowly descended the stairs, she turned to see Tomoyo, Eriol, Ichigo… And Syaoran… Before she knew it, she turned her body 180 degrees to the right and went back upstairs in a hurry. New tears were starting to form in her delicate emerald eyes. Syaoran was about to run after her, but a strong arm kept him back.

“I swore to myself if you ever made Sakura cry I would kick your ass.” An oranged haired teenager looked into Syaoran’s amber eyes

“Look. I’m going to make this right. You wait and see…” The chestnut-haired boy said with such intensity

Eriol put a hand on Ichigo’s shoulder, “Just let him try…”

Ichigo let go of Syaoran’s arm… He was just so afraid to lose his close friend to Syaoran, not that he didn’t trust him. He was just kind of jealous of the bond Syaoran and Sakura had, but he knew that they were meant for each other…

As Syaoran went upstairs in a hurry, Tomoyo let out a sigh.

“Our Sakura is growing up… Isn’t she?” The purple-haired girl gave a weak smile

“Yeah…” Ichigo sighed

Flashback

“TOMOYO TOMOYO! ICHIGO ICHIGO! Let’s play tag!” A young 7 year old girl called out to her friends

Young Tomoyo and Ichigo smiled at their friend.

“Who’s it?” Ichigo smirked

“Oh oh oh! Can I be it?” Sakura shrieked in excitement

Everyone admitted that she was still kind of childish at her age, but it was okay.

“Sure.” A girl with long shimmering hair that was the color of an amethyst replied

“Okay… 1,2,3,4,6,5,7,8,10,9! Ready or not here I come!” The bashful child hollered

The small girl giggled as she slowly crept to a tree. She saw a flash of orange and purple… Sakura began running in the direction where she had seen the colors, but being her clumsy self, she tripped and fell flat on her face.

“Sakura!” Her two close friends shouted

They ran to her aid and helped her up.

“Are you okay?” Tomoyo asked in a sincere voice

The clumsy girl nodded her head.

“Sakura, you’re so clumsy!” Ichigo laughed

End of Flashback

With SxS:

The troubled teenager cried into her pillow. She didn’t want to see him right now. He was the only person she didn’t want to see at the moment.

“You’re just acting like a child.” “You’re acting selfish.”

Sakura cried harder as she remembered the cruel words Syaoran had said to her. Sakura asked herself what went wrong. Why there was a sudden change. It just wasn’t fair.

Then someone knocked on the door. Sakura froze. She stopped crying and looked up to the door. She turned her head away when she saw Syaoran enter her room. She heard him shuffling his feet. Sakura assumed that he was sitting down or standing very still, because the shuffling of feet stopped.

“I’m sorry…” Syaoran whispered

She turned to look at him straight into his eyes. Sakura could see the intensity and passion flaming in his eyes.

“I’m sorry.” Syaoran said again with more guilt

Sakura stayed still and quiet.

“I was wrong. You’re not a selfish or childish person. You’re a nice person that cares for others and I’m the childish and selfish person here. I-I…”

Sakura shook her head.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t want you to be taken away from me…”

Sakura looked at him in confusion.

“What are you talking about?” The auburn-haired girl finally spoke

“I-I… !” Syaoran looked down and blushed

“…?” The only thing Sakura processed into her head was the part where Syaoran looked down and blushed

Syaoran took a deep breath.

“I love you.” The chestnut-haired teenager said

The girl that possessed emerald eyes looked at him. She began crying. Out of joy. The only thing was that Syaoran thought Sakura was crying because he was such a horrible person. And that she didn’t want a horrible person to be in love with her.

Syaoran kept a serious face and began walking away. Sakura looked up in confusion as she saw him leave.

“I’m not letting him go this time…” Sakura whispered to herself

Sakura jumped out of her bed and ran after Syoaran. As soon as he came in her reach. She hugged him from the back.

“Don’t leave me…” Sakura wailed into his back

Syaoran froze.

“After all I did to you, you still want to stick with me…” Syaoran let out a small smile

“Yeah…”

Then out of the blue, Sakura passed out. The amber-eyed teenager couldn’t help but laugh at her. She had to faint on him on the most 'crucial' of moments.

“KAWAII!!!!” Tomoyo popped out of a closet with her handy-dandy video camera

“TOMOYO-chan!” Syaoran yelled at the top of his lungs

A month later

Sakura and Syaoran had been together for a full month now. There was still the occasional girl ogling Syaoran, but Sakura didn’t mind as long as Syaoran didn’t flirt with her.

“So Syaoran… You still haven’t confessed your sins.” The auburn haired girl smiled

“Are you a nun now?” Syaoran smirked

“Yup!”

“You won’t cry too much, right?” The amber-eyed guy teased

“Nope.”

Syaoran let out a sigh. This time he wouldn’t be able to escape Sakura slim little finger. They were alone in her room where nobody could disturb them.

“Hehehe… Well you see… You when that Tsushikiro guy was there-”

“Tsukishiro.”

“Same thing… Well… I thought you were in love with him…”

Sakura put on a giggling fit.

“I don’t see what’s so funny.” Syaoran frowned

“HAHAHA… Yukito-kun is my friend. Of course I’m not in love with him! Because… Well, I’m in love with you.” Sakura smiled

Syaoran felt like hugging Sakura, but he knew he had to save that for later.

“Hmmm… Well I thought you were in love with him, so I got jealous. And then… You remember that day where I kept ignoring you, well that whore named Meilin told me if she couldn’t have fun with me then she would kill you… Well I half believed her and lalala…”

“So you mean after I ran away you had… with Melin?!”

“No well… I don’t think it is good for little girls like you to hear these things.”

“I’m not a little girl.” Sakura pouted

“Well… I didn’t get laid if that’s your question. Though it would have been nice and-”

The emerald eyed girl punched Syaoran’s shoulder, “You’re not funny.”

“Well that’s all you need to know… And the fact that I’m in love with you…” Syaoran blushed

Sakura poked him lightly on the cheek, “You’re blushing.”

“You would be to if you just told the person you love the most that you’re in love with them.” Syaoran said

Sakura let out a sigh as she rested her head on Syaoran’s lap. Sakura used her slim hand to reach out for Syaoran’s hand. There hands interlocked as Sakura gazed into Syaoran’s mysterious amber eyes. They didn’t seem mysterious anymore to Sakura as she remembered all the good times they had spent during the past few weeks.

The beautiful girl felt a nice cool breath on her forehead. She looked up to see Syaoran coming closer and closer to her face. She closed her eyes and waited for his move. When she felt his tender lips brush hers, Sakura could feel her insides to cartwheels. When the moment had come, Syaoran savored the taste of Sakura’s juicy lips. They stated sweet, almost like strawberries. When they broke the kiss, they were breathing heavily and looking hungrily in each other’s eyes.

Then loud stomping was heard climbing up the stairs.

“Quickly! Get off the bed!” Sakura silently shrieked

Syaoran chuckled at her.

When the door had opened, an angry face followed by a serene face and a calm face was seen.

“Come on! Go in! I want to see too!” A group of girls chorused

Syaoran hit his forehead in annoyance. As Touya, Fujitaka, Yelan, and Syaoran’s sisters entered the room, Sakura looked at them in confusion.

“Well Sakura-chan, I’m here-”

“We…” Touya said in annoyance

“Sorry, we are here to tell you that the wedding is off.” The elegant woman announced

“What?! Why?!” Sakura asked in shock, “Not that I have a problem with it or anything… Hehehe… Just joking.”

Sakura’s father smiled, “Well, we decided it would be best for your relationship.”

“What relationship?” The childish girl asked

“You and our cute little brother, Syaoran!” Feimei exclaimed

Sakura scratched her head, “That’s great, but I thought you guys were in love.”

“Ah… It is nothing but sisterly and brotherly love.” Fujitaka smiled

“We realized that, because we aren’t the happy couple in love. We are just the couple of friends.” Yelan told Sakura

“I see…” Sakura scratched her head

Touya rolled his eyes, “You don’t only act like a monster, but you have a brain of one as well.”

“TOUYA!” Sakura screamed as she kicked his shin

Touya doubled over in pain and Syaoran began laughing at him.

Touya glared at the twerp, “grrr…”

“Hey Syaoran, you got some pink shiny stuff on your lips!” Xeifa claimed

“NANDAYO?!” Touya roared as he took his shoe off and began chasing Syaoran

“I guess you can call this thing love.” Fujitaka smiled as he scanned the room
