Chapter 2: The Storm

As she puts down the phone she turns to Kero who was already starting to snooze.

"Kero, I'm going to go out for a while. You're in charge." Kero looks at her through slitted eyes.

"In charge of what?" he asks sarcastically.

"Just don't let the house burn ok." she pleads with him. "If you'll behave I'll make you a cheesecake when I get back." His eyes snap open.

"Cheesecake!" His eyes turned to big saucers. *Sakura sweatdrop*

"Kero! How can you think of food after you just ate."

"But Sakura it's cheesecake!" He gets a dreamy look in his eyes.

"Bye Kero I'm leaving now." She calls as she walks out the door.

"Bye Sakura." He starts to drool as he drifts off to sleep. As Sakura was walking to Syaoran's house it started to rain.

"This is just great." Sakura sighs. "Well at least the food won't get soaked." At last she sees Syaoran's apartment.

'He must be lonely living by himself.' She knocks on the door as she hears the rain coming down harder. Syaoran opens the door.

"Sakura! You're all wet. Come in before you catch pnenmonia." He grabs her hand as he pulls her inside.

"At least the food didn't get wet." Smiling a little as she takes it out of her backpack.

"Sakura that's the least of my worries." Blushing, he leads her to the bathroom. "Get dried off. There are some of my clothes in the bathroom for you to change." Syaoran says as he starts to turn away.

"Arigato Syaoran." She stops him and gives him a light kiss on the cheek and hurries to close the bathroom door. She leans on the door and sighs. 'I'm not that cold anymore.' She realizes feeling a tingling feeling in her lips where she had just kissed him. She looks through a cabinet to find clothes. She sees a green shirt(of course) that had the word "Aishetaru" written on it. 'Could it be?' she wonders.

Syaoran puts a hand to his cheek where Sakura had just kissed him. He feels his face burning.

"What am I going to do?" he wonders out loud as he walks into the kitchen. He sits down and rummages through her bookbag and out comes the food and a lot of cd's.

"Hmm. LeAnn Rimes, two or three of the Sailor Senshi soundtracks(Sakura loves Sailor Moon), and a couple of mixed cd's. Good taste in music." He starts to heat up the food. He looks up and sees her coming from the bathroom. ' Uh-oh forgot about that shirt being in the bathroom.'

"Thank you for the clothes Syaoran." Sakura stammers as she looks at him and the mess on the table. She starts to smirk. "Do I have to do everything. You can't even heat up food without making a mess huh."

He throws a dish cloth at her as she laughs at him. The microwave dinged and she went over to it to get the food out. As soon as she came near him he grabbed her and started to tickle her.

" Had enough Sakura?" He says smiling. Sakura laughs even harder as he tickles her more.

"Stop Syaoran please, don't you want to eat?" She looks at him realizing that she has never seen him this happy. He reluctantly stops and stares at her.

"Let's eat," Sakura says getting the food out of the microwave while Syaoran sets the table.

'I don't know what came over me' Syaoran thinks as he watches her get the food. ' I haven't been this happy in a long time.'

They sit down to eat. Sakura looks around the house and complements him on how clean the house looked. 'If you only knew Sakura' he finishes eating his food and lets out a sigh.

"This is very good Sakura. You are a really great cook." Syaoran says as he finishes his food.

"Thank you Syaoran. That really means a lot to me. By the way who does the dishes me or you?" She asks with a smile on her face.

" I'll make a deal with you Sakura. I'll wash the dishes and you put in one of your cd's." Syaoran says as he starts to put the dishes in the sink.

"Sure." She says as she turns to go to the living room. She puts in her LeAnn Rimes cd.

Syaoran hears the music start and then he hears her singing. 'She has such a beautiful voice' he thinks as he smiles.

*I don't like to be alone in the night, and I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right

And I don't like to have the rain on my shoes but I do love you, but I do love you

I don't like to see the sky painted gray, and I don't like when nothings going my way

And I don't like to be the one with the blues but I do love you, but I do love you

Love everything about the way you loving me the way you lay your head upon my

Shoulder when you sleep and I love to kiss you in the rain I love everything you do

Oh I do

I don't like to turn the radio on just to find that I miss my favorite song and I don't like to be the last in the news but I do love you*

Syaoran walks in and sees her swaying to the music.

"Sakura would you like to dance?" Syaoran stammers looking at her. Surprised Sakura says yes and hesitantly puts her arms on Syaoan's shoulders. As they dance the song drifts on.

*But I do love you love everything about the way you loving me the way you lay your head upon my shoulder when you sleep and I love to kiss you in the rain I love everything you do

Oh I do

I don't like to be alone in the night, and I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right

And I don't like to have the rain on my shoes but I do love you, but I do love you.*

"You have a very beautiful voice Sakura." Syaoran says as they still sway to the music. "And you are a very good dancer."

"You are a good dancer also Syaoran." Sakura tells him as she blushes.

Suddenly the lights go out with a big thundercrash. Sakura screams lightly and clings to Syaoran.

"It's all right Sakura I'm here nothing is going to get you." Syaoran whispers to her as he holds her and strokes her back trying to comfort her. "I'll protect you."

Sakura snuggles closer to Syaoran. The lights flicker on and off and they finally go out completely.

"Syaoran what am I going to do?" Sakura whispers. "I'm afraid to walk home in this kind of weather." Syaoran just looks at her.

"What makes you think that I'll even let you out of here in a storm like this . It's too dangerous for you to go out." Syaoran lets go of her and turns around to find some candles.

"Arigatou Syaoran." Sakura says. "You are such a good friend. Syaoran what time is it?" Syaoran turns around from the cabinet, candles in hand.

"Um" He looks at his watch. "It is around 10:30. Why do you ask?" Sakura stretches and yawns.

"That's why." She says. "It has been a very long day. Where would you like me to crash for the night?" Syaoran stumbles a little. He hadn't gotten this far into his planning yet. 'What should I do?'

"You can sleep in my bed and I will sleep on the couch." Syaoran starts to gather pillows and blankets to put on the couch. Sakura looks at him.

"Are you sure?" She asks as she heads for his bedroom door.

"Yes I'm sure but before you go in there let me go change first." He opens the door and gently closes it. She stands right by the door listening to the storm rage outside. 'I'm scared' she admits to herself. The door suddenly opens up and she jumps. Syaoran comes out wearing a simple pair of boxers and a t-shirt.

"Sakura are you ok?" Syaoran asks watching her closely. 'I hope that I didn't scare her. She looks about ready to jump.'

"I'm fine." She stammers. Syaoran looks at her. "Really I am." She walks into his bedroom and goes to his bed. He follows her. She slowly climbs in and when she is in he starts to tuck her in.

"Arigatou Syaoran." She whispers as he finishes tucking her in.

" Your welcome Sakura. If you need me I'll be out in the living room ok." He gives her arm a squeeze as he leaves. He goes to the couch and lies down unable to fall asleep he starts to think. After a while the storm abides and all is peaceful. Just as he was about to fall asleep he hears a noise in his room. Wide awake in an instance he runs into the room to see what is the matter with her. He goes to the side of the bed that she is laying on and discovers that she is crying. He starts to hear her mumble.

"Syaoran please don't leave me alone." She hiccups as she crys leaving trails on her cheeks. Syaoran's heart completely melts. 'She crys for me. Why?' His mind races with possibilities.

"Sakura wake up." He gently shakes her. She moans a little as she opens her eyes. Her eyes widen as she sees him.

"Syaoran!" She cries as she throws her arms around him. He holds her and rocks her until she calms down. She buries her face in his chest and breathes in his scent. He mumbles into her ear and she is suddenly aware of the situation. Her head shoots up as she looks at him wide eyed.

"Syaoran I'm sorry.." She starts to mumble but he interrupts her.

"There's nothing to be sorry about." He says as he runs a hand over her hair. "Did you have a bad dream?" She nods her head and sniffs a little. "Well are you going to tell me your dream?"

She hiccups and then whispers "In my dream you left me like you are going to do now." She starts to cry a little.

"Oh Sakura.." Syaoran sighs not knowing what to do next. 'Why is she so sad that I am leaving. Should I ask her.' He thinks all the while stroking her hair and mumbling to her. Sakura looks up at him with big emerald eyes. He feels his breath catch in his throat. 'Now or never.' was the last thought racing through his mind as his eyes close and he bends to kiss her.

'Syaoran has such beautiful eyes.' Sakura thinks. Suddenly she sees his eyes close as he bends closer to her. ' I never thought he would kiss me' her heart starts to pound.

Suddenly their lips meet, tentatively at first then more sure of themselves the kiss deepens. Sakura moans deep in her throat as Syaoran changes the angle of the kiss. Her arms go around his shoulders to pull him closer to her.

Feeling Sakura pull him closer Syaoran puts his arms around her small waist to hold her tightly. 'I will never let her go.' He whispers to himself ' I love her too much. I just hope that she can love me.' The kiss finally breaks due to lack of oxygen. Syaoran puts his head on the crook of her shoulder as he breathes in the scent of her. Syaoran can feel her heart race as he strokes her hair. He starts to get up and leave but Sakura puts a hand on his arm to stop him.

"Syaoran" Sakura whispers. "Please don't leave me. " Syaoran freezes for a second as he lays down beside her and pulls her into his arms. She lays her head on his chest.

" I will never leave you Sakura. And that is a promise." Syaoran tells her. Sakura smiles as she lays contintently on Syaoran's chest. ' Why does his heart beat so fast?' She wonders as she snuggles closer to the warmth that seems to radiate from him.

"Pinky swear?" She asks. He shakes his head and laughs a little.

"Pinky swear." They go through their childhood routine both smiling afterwards.

"Syaroran," Sakura mummers starting to fall asleep. " Do I make you happy?" Syaoran goes still for a moment.

"Yes you make me very happy." Syaoran whispers. " That...that's why I... I." He stammers not able to say the rest. Sakura looks up at him a drozy look in her eyes.

"That's why you what, Syaoran?" She asks all the while her heart raced on hopes of saying that he loved her.

" I'll tell you in the morning ok. Right now I want you to get some rest. Goodnight Sakura." He gives her a little hug as he closes his eyes.

"Goodnight Syaoran." She answers feeling a little dissapointed and yet anxious about tomorrow morning. ' I wonder what he wants to say to me. I'll find out soon'. She gives out a little sigh and soon falls asleep. 'How am I going to tell her.' was the last thought in his mind as he drifts off into a peaceful sleep.
