Cutie Blossom

Hiya Minna-san!!! How is everybody? *Groan* I feel REALLY bad. My computer has some sort of virus or something and has not been in the best shape. I had around 11 pg. more to the last chapter that was somehow deleted! It was the best part also! T_T So I'm going to retype it since the Move Card has stolen my disk and I can't seem to find it at the moment. I noticed that I was missing half of the chapter when I was checking up on a spelling from Chapter 3 and the computer said it only had 14 pg. of the 25 some pages I actually had. Lets just say…I wasn't pleased. If any of you guys want to take a hammer to my computer…please DO! Heck, I'll join you! ^_^ *Sigh* At least I told you guys the truth. I could of always used the excuse my chemistry teacher always uses about his dog helping him type it! ^_~ *wink! I have two dogs so it could work! Anyways, I feel VERY bad and I'm VERY sorry. The last chapter should have been MUCH longer! So instead, the chapter is a lot longer! ^_^

WARING: Those who e-mailed me and didn't get a reply, that's another side affect by my BAKA computer. I will reply to those when I get a chance to go on my mother or dad's computer. PLEASE be patient with me!!!

Um…before I start I wanted to say a couple of things:

JadeWing: The part where you gave me the quote, if you remember, was on the end of Chapter 3 so is on this chapter! ^_^

Mys96: Once again, THANK YOU for the e-mail! ^_^ I bet you are getting sick and tired of me saying that, but it means a lot to me! ^_^ I'll try and get out the next chapter out as soon as possible!!

Danelle Yuy Winner: Thank you for you compliment! It makes me feel so happy! ^_^

SAKURAnTOKYO: Thanks for giving me that web site info! ^_^

Aeres Yuy: GOMEN!! Like I've said a million times, my computer isn't working so I haven't been able to send it to you yet! Baka computer!

On with the story! Thanks to my dad, I just found out I don't have to retype it! ^_^ He put another copy of the ORIGINAL on a different drive! ^_^ My daddy is so smart!

Last time, Syaoran was taking Sakura home, right? *Cracks Knuckles* Lets get stared!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sakura woke up bright and early the next morning. She slipped on a bright blue dress and ran downstairs.

"You're up early, Kajiuu."

Sakura sighed. "Touya! Kajiuu ja nani."

Touya smiled. "You wanted everything to be perfect for when Syaoran comes over?"

Sakura blushed. "Hai. You aren't going to tell him are you?"

"About what?" Touya asked.

Sakura blushed even deeper. "T-that I have a crush on him."

Touya smiled. "Iie. Your secret is safe with me. You won't be able to hide it from Otou-san though. He knows you very well."

"Yeah I know. Do you think Otou-san will like Syaoran?"

"I've told you once and I'll tell you again. Otou-san will like Syaoran because he isn't another Sammie," Touya answered. "Syaoran is an actual gentlemen and would take care of you."

Sakura smiled. She looked down at her watch and it read 8:30.

"What time did Otou-san's plane get in?" she asked.

"He should be arriving any minute now," Touya answered.

They heard the front door opening and then a, "Tadiama [I'm home]!"

"Okaerinasai [Welcome home]!" Sakura said, exiting the kitchen and giving her father a hug.

"I missed you so much, Sakura," Fujitaka said, hugging his daughter.

"I missed you too," Sakura said.

"Welcome back Otou-san," Touya said, exiting the kitchen.

"Arigato," Fujitaka said. "How do you two like Hong Kong?"

Sakura smiled. "I love it!"

Touya smiled. "Me too."

Fujitaka smiled at the two. "I'm glad. What are we having for breakfast?"

"Otou-san, Touya and I invited a friend of mine over for you to meet," Sakura said, blushing slightly.

"Oh?" Fujitaka asked.

"Yep!"

The doorbell rang and Sakura giggled happily and ran over to answer it. She opened it to reveal Syaoran.

"Ohayo Syaoran," Sakura said.

Syaoran blushed. "Ohayo Sakura. Am I early?"

Sakura shook her head. "No! You're just on time. My father just arrived. Come on in!"

Syaoran walked in to see Touya and another guy, who Syaoran assumed was Sakura's father.

"Ohayo Touya," Syaoran said.

Touya smiled at him. "Ohayo Syaoran."

The other man smiled and bowed. "Hello. I'm Sakura and Touya's father, Fujitaka."

Syaoran bowed. "Hello. My name is Syaoran Li. I attend the college with Sakura."

"Nice to meet you, Li."

"You can call me Syaoran if you like and it's nice to meet you too, Mr. Kinomoto."

Fujitaka smiled. "You can call me Fujitaka."-He turned to Touya-"Yukito-san wanted to see you and Sakura again and I told him he could come anytime he wanted to."

Sakura smiled. "He's probably the only thing I miss of Tomoeda."

Syaoran felt a twitch of jealousy. He turned to Sakura. "Who is Yukito?"

Sakura smiled. "He's my brother's best friend. I used to have a crush on him when I was little. It was only a small childhood crush because I grew out of it when I grew older."

"Oh," was all Syaoran said.

"Why don't we sit down to eat?" Touya asked, heading towards the kitchen table that was piled with food. "We have a little story to tell you, Otou-san."

Fujitaka blinked. "What happened?"

"We'll tell you while we eat," Touya said.

"Okay," Fujitaka said, following Touya.

"Come on, Syaoran," Sakura said, grabbing his hand and following her father, causing Syaoran to blush.

Once they all finished eating, Fujitaka couldn't hold it in any longer.

"What happened?" he asked his son and daughter.

Touya turned to Sakura and Syaoran. "Why don't you two explain it?"

Sakura nodded her head and looked at Syaoran, who was sitting right next to her. He nodded his head also.

Sakura turned to her father. "Otou-san, Syaoran got a new…well he isn't Syaoran's roommate any longer…but anyways, Syaoran got a new roommate yesterday. Can you guess who it was?"

Fujitaka thought for a minute. "Iie."

"Sammie."

Fujitaka's face turned pale. "Who?"

"Sammie," Sakura repeated.

"After we moved you here and put you into a different college…HE COMES HERE?"

Sakura winced. "Hai. Let me tell you the full story though and I think you'll be quiet happy with the ending." Sakura told her father everything that happened yesterday including how Syaoran literally kicked Sammie's butt out of the Shuji Dorm. When Sakura was finished, her father was shock and speechless.

He looked at Syaoran. "You did all of that?"

Syaoran nodded his head. "Why wouldn't I? After all, she is a friend. Why wouldn't I protect her from a sex hungry gaki like Sammie?"

Touya smiled. "I love the story of you really kicking Sammie's butt, Syaoran. It gets better and better each time I hear it!"

Fujitaka smiled. "Marry my daughter, onegai?"

Syaoran's face turned crimson, as did Sakura's.

"Um…uh…" Syaoran stuttered.

Touya laughed. "Aw…come on Syaoran. I know Sakura wouldn't mind!" he said looking over at Sakura.

"Touya!!!!" Sakura shouted.

Fujitaka laughed and winked at Syaoran. "Don't worry. I was just joking."-He looked over at Sakura and Touya-"I missed seeing you two fight!"

Sakura and Touya laughed.

"I'm so glad you're here Otou-san," Sakura said.

"I'm glad to be here, Sakura," Fujitaka said smiling.

Syaoran stood up. "I better get back to the dorm. Arigato for having me."

Sakura stood up, hiding her sadness. "O-oh we were glad to have you, Syaoran."

Touya started laughing at his sister's actions.

Sakura glared at him. "I'll walk you to door," she said as she exited the kitchen.

Syaoran smiled at her. "Arigato."-He turned to Fujitaka-"Nice to meet you."

Fujitaka smiled. "You too. Don't be a stranger. Come and see us sometime."

Syaoran nodded. "I will," he said as he exited in the direction Sakura did.

"Nice boy," Fujitaka said to Touya. "Has Sakura developed feelings for him or it just me?"

Touya started to laugh again. "Yes she has, but this time she has chose a guy that will treat her right. To tell the truth, I believe Syaoran has also developed feelings for her."

"You noticed that too?" Fujitaka asked.

"Hai."

Out in the hallway, Syaoran walked up to Sakura. He took her hand into his and kissed it gently. "Thanks for inviting me again. I enjoyed myself."

Sakura's face turned red. "I'm glad you came. It's been fun."

Syaoran nodded his head. "I'll see you later. Ja ne!"

"Ja ne!" Sakura said to him, watching him leave. Little did they know, she was being watched.

"That is too KAWAII!!"

Eriol sweatdropped. "I can't believe Syaoran actually told me where he was going. BIG mistake."

Tomoyo giggled. "I agree."-She caught Eriol in a kiss-"Arigato for telling me about it! I'm so happy!"

Eriol smiled. "I knew that this would make you happy."

"Shall we play matchmaker?" Tomoyo asked, excitedly.

Eriol thought for a second. "Nah…Syaoran knows what he's doing and Sakura is as fragile as a Cherry Blossom herself because of the past. I cannot believe what that guy did that to her." Right after Syaoran told Eriol what happened and about Sakura's past, he called Tomoyo and filled her in on the details. She became quiet worried for her best friend, but Eriol said that Syaoran said that Sakura was happy when he took her home and she should be just fine. "Plus, I also believe that they will get together, but they just need time to make it right. I don't think we should help. I didn't say that we can't watch over them though."

Tomoyo nodded her head. "Yeah! Next time I'll bring my video camera!"

Eriol sweatdropped and kissed his girlfriend again.

~*~

To Sakura, the weekend went too fast. The only thing she was looking forward to was seeing Syaoran again. She walked into her first class eager to see the Little Wolf again. She saw him talking to a guy in the class.

"Morning!" she called over to him.

Syaoran smiled at her. "Morning. Have a good weekend?"

Sakura smiled. "The best! How about you?"

"Okay."

Sakura frowned. "Just okay?"

Syaoran smiled. "Well, I must admit though, the best part of my weekend was seeing you on Saturday."

Sakura blushed. "Really?"

Syaoran nodded his head.

Mr. Ardenson walked into the classroom and the class began.

Both Math and History went by fast. Gym was another story.

"So if it isn't Sahura," Sarah said.

Sakura clapped her hands. "You were very close this time. I'm amazed. But as I always say, 'Close, but no cigar'. What do you want anyways, Sarah?"

"For you to disappear," Sarah said.

Sakura was about to say something, but someone beat her to it.

"It's not going to happen, Meeks."

Sakura turned to see Molly behind her.

Sarah looked like she was about to go and punch Molly in the face.

"What do you want?" Sarah asked.

"For YOU to disappear," Molly answered.

Sarah was about to punch her, but was stopped when Mr. Asuka blew his whistle to begin class.

Sakura thanked Molly before they headed over and stood next to Tomoyo and Meilin. Sakura looked over at the benches to see Syaoran and Eriol watching them again. Sakura smiled and turned back to listen to the teacher. Mr. Asuka started talking about what they were going to do today and other things. He waved for someone to come over, but Sakura didn't turn to look at who it was.

"Hello beautiful," Syaoran whispered to Sakura as he walked back towards the teacher.

Sakura blushed and Tomoyo giggled.

Mr. Asuka looked over at Sakura. "Miss Kinomoto, I want you and Mr. Li to go get the equipment for today's lesson."

Tomoyo looked over at Eriol, who she could see was laughing. 'This is going too good. I wish I could video tape it for blackmail.'

Sakura nodded and followed Syaoran.

"Was Sarah giving you a hard time before class started?" Syaoran asked as they walked towards the equipment room.

Sakura shook her head. "Nah, she was just being her normal pathetic self."

"Oh."

Sakura and Syaoran finally reached the room.

"What do we need to get?" Sakura asked.

"Lacrosse sticks and the Lacrosse balls," Syaoran answered, looking around. He stepped over a pole that was on the ground and continued looking for the Lacrosse supplies. Not seeing the supplies on that side of the room, he turned around and started to head to the other side, not really looking where he was walking. Forgetting the pole that was on the ground, he tripped and landed on…

"HOEE!!"

…Sakura.

Syaoran tried to push himself again, but "accidentally" landed on Sakura again.

"You know, she can slap you with statutory for that, Syaoran."

Syaoran and Sakura looked up to see Molly looking down at them. Both Sakura and Syaoran's face turned crimson. Syaoran and Sakura both stood up fast and backed away from each other.

"I'm VERY s-sorry, S-s-Sakura," Syaoran said with his face still red. "I d-didn't mean t-to! I wasn't…"

"It's okay," Sakura interrupted, still blushing like crazy.

"The teacher sent me to help you guys," Molly said. "I'm not sure I should have came though. I don't want to intrude on you guys during a make out session."

"I tripped," Syaoran said.

Molly smirked. "Suuuurrrrrrre! You think I believe that? A guy tried that on me, but he didn't go as far as to fall on me again, Syaoran."

"Lets try and find the supplies," Sakura suggested.

Molly nodded her head. "Yeah, but no more making out, okay?"

"WE WEREN'T MAKING OUT!!!" Sakura and Syaoran screamed at the same time.

Molly ignored them. "Wait till Meilin and Tomoyo hears about this!"

Sakura shook her head. "No! Don't tell them!"

"NO! I'll never hear the end of it from Meilin and Tomoyo will tell Eriol! I definitely don't want Eriol to know because, just like Meilin, he'll NEVER drop it!" Syaoran said.

Molly pouted. "You guys are no fun."

"Put us in your shoes then," Sakura muttered as she turned around to look for the equipment. "Found the equipment!"

The three of them gathered the needed supplies and headed back out to the field. For the rest of Gym class, Sakura seemed a bit nervous even though Molly didn't say a word to Tomoyo or Meilin about the incident in the equipment room. After what seemed like forever, the bell rang for the class to end.

Sakura ran towards the locker rooms and sprinted right out again. Once she was off the college campus, she slowed down her pace to a walk.

Sakura sighed. 'I thought Gym would never end.'

A couple minutes later, Sakura finally reached her house. She went straight upstairs and flopped on her bed.

'I hope he'll talk to me again,' she thought as she turned and hid her face into her pillow.

She heard the phone ring downstairs. She heard Touya answer, "Oh hey Syaoran!"

Sakura's heart started to beat faster. She exited her room and entered the hallway to try and hear the conversation better. Little did she know Touya could hear her come down the hallway.

"How are you?" Touya asked into the phone. "Fine. Did you want to talk to Sakura? You don't?"-Sakura gasped silently-"Oh you DO!"-Sakura let out a sigh of relief-"Are you sure you want to talk to the Kajiuu?"-Sakura growled-"She's probably stomping around upstairs again. Are you absolutely positive? Okay then see you later!"-Sakura held herself from running downstairs to kick Touya right where it hurts-"Sakura! Phone!"

Sakura ran downstairs and grabbed the phone from her brother. "Baka Onii-chan," she muttered as she put the phone up to her ear. "Hi Syaoran!"

"How'd you know it was me?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura sweatdropped. Touya never told her exactly who it was. "Um…had a feeling."

"Oh. Anyways, I was wondering if you and Tomoyo would come and watch Eriol and I at soccer try-outs this coming Saturday. Would you come?"

"Of course! I would love to come!" Sakura said, controlling her happiness.

"Great! The try-outs are at the school and begin at eight, okay?" Syaoran said.

"Yeah! Can't wait!" Sakura said

"See you tomorrow at school!" Syaoran said.

"Kay! Ja ne!" Sakura said before hanging up.

Sakura giggled. 'This day didn't turn out to by so bad after all!'

~*~

Ring! Ring!

"Hello? Tomoyo speaking?" Tomoyo said into the phone.

"Oh Tomoyo my sweet!"

Tomoyo rolled her eyes and said, "Hi Eriol."

Eriol frowned. "How did you know it was me?"

"Gee…I wonder," Tomoyo said sarcastically. "Maybe it was because you are the only one who'd call me your sweet. Yep I think that's it."

Eriol sighed. "Anyways, would you please come and watch soccer try-outs this coming Saturday?" Eriol begged. "Syaoran invited Sakura so you won't be there alone."

Tomoyo giggled. "Of course Syaoran would invite Sakura!"

"You can bring your video camera," Eriol added.

Tomoyo got stars in her eyes. "ALL RIGHT!! Count me in!"

Eriol laughed. 'I knew that would do the trick!'

"Did you see how red Sakura and Syaoran's faces were when they came back out from getting the Lacrosse equipment?"

"Yeah," Eriol said. "Syaoran seemed strange the rest of the day after that."

"And Sakura seemed jumpy after that," Tomoyo said.

Eriol rubbed his chin. "I wonder what happened."

"I wish I knew. Anyways, I gotta go, Eriol," Tomoyo said. "I've still got loads of homework to do."

"What if I said you can't hang up?" Eriol asked with an evil smile.

Tomoyo smirked. "Then I'll just hang up then."

"You wouldn't d…"

Click!

"Tomoyo? Hello?"

"Your phone conversation has been disconnected. Please hang up and try again. Have a nice day." (A.N.: I wasn't sure what the lady said after a person hung up. My sister would know, but I'm not a phone person like she is. I'm an Internet person. ^_^)

Eriol hung up the phone, stunned. "I can't believe she did that to me!"

~*~

(A.N.: This is where I originally started Chapter 4. Enjoy! ^_^)

For Sakura, the weekend took forever to come. After the Gym incident with Syaoran and her, she welcomed Saturday with open arms. That morning, she woke up bright and early.

'I can't be late for Syaoran's and Eriol's try-outs,' she thought as she slipped into a pink dress that had Cherry Blossoms all over it and then skipped down the steps into the kitchen where she got her normal greeting.

"Morning Kajiuu. You're up early again!" Touya said, shocked.

"Yep," Sakura said, smiling. "Syaoran asked me to watch him at his soccer try-outs."

"Now I know why she's up at the crack of dawn," Touya muttered under his breath.

Sakura turned and looked at him. "Did you say something?"

"Nope. Nothing. Not a thing," Touya said quickly.

Sakura looked at him suspiciously. "Okay then. I'm going to go," she said as she walked out of the house.

"Have a fun time!"

Sakura arrived at the stadium a couple a couple minutes later. She spotted Tomoyo sitting in the stands and walked over. Tomoyo waved to Sakura. Sakura smiled and waved as she made her way over to sit next to her purple haired friend.

"Good morning, Tomoyo," Sakura said.

"Good morning," Tomoyo said happily. "Wonderful day isn't it?"

Sakura nodded her head. "It sure is," she said as she looked for Syaoran down on the soccer field. She saw him talking to Eriol and a couple of other guys she didn't recognize. She also saw the two guys that attacked her and Tomoyo in the ice cream parlor, Moroin and Nievan.

"Come on in guys," a teacher called from the bench. Sakura recognized the teacher as Mr. Asuka.

Syaoran, followed by Eriol and the other guys, started to walk over to Mr. Asuka. Syaoran looked over and in the stands he saw Sakura. He waved to her and she waved back. Syaoran felt a punch in his arm. He turned to look at Yamazaki Takashi, a friend who he has known for years.

"You know that cutie?" Yamazaki asked, pointing to Sakura.

Syaoran smiled. "Yes."

Yamazaki frowned. "And you didn't tell me! Can you introduce me to her? Is she single?"

Syaoran felt a pang of anger in him, but shook it off. "Yes she is, but don't you have Chiharu?"

"Yeah," Yamazaki said, nodding his head. "That doesn't mean I can't meet her, does it?"

"Guess you're right," Syaoran said, frowning. He turned to the coach and started to listen to him speak.

Hours later, the boys were finally free to go. Sakura smiled and ran down the steps followed closely by Tomoyo. The two of them ran over to Syaoran and Eriol, who were whipping themselves with a towel.

Syaoran smiled seeing Sakura run over to him.

"How'd we do?" he asked her.

"You guys did great! I'm really impressed at your guys' talent," Sakura said, smiling.

'That was the whole point of asking her to come,' Syaoran thought to himself. 'To impress her.'

Eriol smiled at Sakura. "Thanks Sakura."-He turned to Tomoyo and gave her a hug-"Can I have a kiss?"

Tomoyo smiled and pushed Eriol away. "After you take a shower!"

Eriol started to whine and started to chase Tomoyo.

"Syaoran!"

Syaoran turned and groaned. "Yes Yamazaki?"

"You said you'd introduce me to this beautiful emerald eyed young lady," Yamazaki said, looking over at Sakura. "So aren't you going to?"

Syaoran frowned and mumbled, "Sakura, this is Yamazaki Takashi. Yamazaki, this is Sakura Kinomoto."

Yamazaki bowed. "How do you do, Miss Kinomoto?"

Sakura blinked. "Fine, thank you. You?"

"I'm fine," Yamazaki said. "Hey, why don't you come with us to the ice cream parlor?" Yamazaki asked. "Along with my girlfriend, Chiharu and I?"

"Um…I'm not sure…"

"Syaoran is also joining us," Yamazaki added.

Sakura's heart jumped. "Okay! Why not?"

Syaoran blinked as Yamazaki started to laugh.

Tomoyo, who was watching the three talk, pinched Eriol.

"Ouch!" Eriol yelped. "What was that for?"

Tomoyo smirked. "For telling Yamazaki to flirt with Sakura to get Syaoran jealous. You and I both know Yamazaki wouldn't flirt with any other girl besides Chiharu! You told me not to do anything like that!"

Eriol put on an innocent look. "Do you actually think I'd do that? Come no, sweet Tomoyo. I would NEVER do anything like that!"

"Yeah. Uh huh," Tomoyo said, not believe him at all. "Keep on saying that. You may start believe yourself."

Eriol laughed and hugged his girlfriend.

"Eriol! Tomoyo! Did you guys want to join us at the ice cream parlor?"

Eriol looked down at his girlfriend, who nodded. "Sure, Yamazaki!"

"Then hurry up and get your butt in the locker room to change! Stop making out with Tomoyo for crying out loud!" Yamazaki yelled at Eriol, as he and Syaoran walked into the locker room. Eriol ran into the locker room as Tomoyo joined the Sakura and Chiharu.

A couple of minutes later, the three boys joined up with the girls and they headed off towards the ice cream parlor. They arrived not long after.

Sakura's eyes sparkled at all of the flavors. "I'm not sure which flavors to pick! They all look delicious!!"

"Which ones have you picked?" Syaoran whispered into Sakura's ear causing her to blush like crazy.

"Um…I'm trying to decide between strawberry or chocolate," Sakura answered.

Syaoran looked at the clerk. "Two double scoops ice cream cones. One with strawberry and chocolate and the other just chocolate."

"Okay," the clerk said and started to scoop up the ice cream. Once he was finished scooping, he handed the ice cream cones to Syaoran and Sakura. Syaoran paid for both of them and they walked over to the table with the rest of the group. While she was enjoying her ice cream, Sakura noticed something.

'Syaoran and I are the only single people here!' she thought, starting to feel a little uncomfortable. 'Tomoyo has Eriol and Chiharu has Yamazaki.'

"Are you alright?" Syaoran asked her.

Sakura smiled and nodded her head. "Yeah I'm fine."

Syaoran looked at her unsurely but turned to talk to Yamazaki again.

Sakura finished her ice cream and looked down at her watch. She gasped seeing the time. "I've got to go! Time sure flies these days!"

"You have to leave, Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.

Sakura nodded her head. "Yeah."

Syaoran stood up. "I'll walk you home."

Eriol smiled. "Of course you would."

Syaoran glared at Eriol.

"That's so sweet of you Syaoran," she said. "You don't have to though."

"No I will," Syaoran said, and shot another glare at Eriol to be quiet. Eriol smiled at him.

Sakura smiled at Syaoran and together they walked out of the ice cream parlor.

"Thanks for walking me home, Syaoran," Sakura said.

"The pleasure's all mine," Syaoran said.

Sakura and Syaoran walked and talk on their way to the Kinomoto residence, but unfortunately, they didn't get far.

"KINOMOTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" < p class="MsoNormal">

Sakura groaned and turned around to see none other then Sarah Meeks.

Syaoran growled. "Go away, Meeks!"

"Why should I leave you here with her?" Sarah asked, pointing at Sakura.

"BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO!!!!!!!!!!" Syaoran yelled at her.

"I'm not here to talk to you…at the moment. No sire! I have some business to do with Kinomoto here."

"At least she can say my last name right," Sakura mumbled. "What do you want?"

"A battle!"

"Hoe? A battle? What for?"

"For him," Sarah answered, pointing at Syaoran. "Here's the deal: we battle in three sports. If I win, I get a date with Syaoran. If you win, which I doubt, I'll leave you and Syaoran alone."

Sakura looked at Syaoran, who was smiling.

"Are you okay with this Syaoran?" she asked.

Syaoran nodded his head. "Perfectly."

Sakura sighed and turned to Sarah. "Fine, I'm in."

Sarah smiled with glee. "Great! I'll pick one sport and you'll pick one."

"And the third one?" Sakura asked.

Sarah frowned. "I WASN'T FINISHED!! Syaoran will pick the third. Best two out of three. Deal?"

Sakura nodded her head. "Yeah."

"I choose Basketball," Sarah said.

"I choose soccer!" Sakura said.

Syaoran thought for a minute. "I choose…"

'I'll have to choose something that Sakura can do very well,' he thought.

"…Rollerblading."

Sarah looked confused while Sakura smiled.

"Fine," Sarah said. "Lets begin!"

Sakura and Syaoran looked at her.

"Now!?"

"Yep," Sarah said, nodding her head. "All of the equipment can be found at the University."

Sakura growled. "Fine! Let the battle begin!!!!"

The three walked over to the University and found the equipment to begin the battle. The first battle was Sarah's choice, Basketball. Since Sarah chose the sport, they both agreed that Sakura got the ball first.

Sakura sighed. 'Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be one LONG battle? Basketball has never really been my strongest sport.'

"First to ten points is the winner," Syaoran said on the sidelines.

Sakura checked the ball to Sarah, who bounced it back to her. Sakura tried to dodge around Sarah, but it was no use. Sarah's defense skills where really good and Sakura just couldn't get passed them.

'This is not looking good,' Syaoran thought.

After a very long and gruesome battle the victor was…

"I WON!!!! I WON!!!! I WON!!! SYAORAN, YOU ARE MINE!!!!"

…Sarah.

(A.N.: This is how it is going to be tomorrow. The bad person wins. T_T My school is going to lose the Groovy Shoes. We are going to win the game, but lose the shoes because my school isn't very cheerful and spirited. WHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!! T_T Sorry, but I had to mention something about the Groovy Shoes that we are going to LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Sakura fell to the ground.

"I'm pooped!"

Syaoran walked over to her. "You still have two more sports to go and they are your strongest ones, Sakura."

Sakura looked over at him. "I'm sorry I lost."

"Don't worry," Syaoran said, smiling. "You can make it up to me by wining the next two sports."

Sakura groaned and sat up. "Easy for you to say," she mumbled. "Okay, Sarah. You won the first one. Lets see who wins at soccer."

Sarah smirked. "Me of course."

"Those are pretty big words, Sarah," Sakura said. "But can you back them up?"

"YOU BET I CAN!!!"

"Then lets battle!"

Sarah and Sakura walked out onto the field. Sarah got the ball first since it was Sakura who chose soccer.

"This battle will be won by the person who scores the first goal," Syaoran announced.

"Okay!" the girls said.

(A.N.: T_T I KNEW IT!!! We lost the Groovy Shoes, but won the Basketball game by fifty points and I'm not joking too! *Sigh* At least this story will have a happy ending! ^_~ *wink!)

Sarah looked down at the ball. Even though she won the first battle, Sarah was just as tired as Sakura…her mouth was still working though.

"You're going down, Kinomoto!!!!"

Sakura sweatdropped. 'She never shuts up does she?'

"Not without a fight, Sarah!

Sarah kicked off and headed towards Sakura. Easily, Sakura got the ball away from Sarah and started to head right towards the other goal. Unfortunately, Sarah caught up to Sakura and got the ball back. Both tired, the two girls ran back and forth but never gave up. Finally, ten minutes into the game, the field lights kicked on to give light for the girls. Sakura had the ball, but she still had yet to pass Sarah.

'I can't go around her. She's to fast and will steal the ball right back. What else is there to do?' Sakura though. 'Hey I know how!'

Sakura smiled and with the energy she had remaining, she sprinted towards Sarah. When she was in close range, Sakura used her toe to kick the ball up into the air and over Sarah's head.

Sarah gasped as she watched the ball go up into the air and didn't see Sakura go around her. I took a couple seconds before Sarah realized what had happened and tried to catch up to Sakura, but she was too late.

"YEAH!!!!!!!! I won! I won! Take that Sarah Meeks!" Sakura screamed out before she collapsed on the ground.

Sarah collapsed and started to pound the ground with her fists. "NO! How come she won? I was supposed to!"

Syaoran ran over to Sakura. "You did it! Way to go Sakura! Hey are you okay?"

"I'm VERY pooped!"

Syaoran laughed as he bent down and helped Sakura up.

"You still have to win one more sport though!" Syaoran said. "Come on Sakura. I know you can do it!"

Sakura stood straight up, filled with confidence. "Let the last and final battle…BEGIN!"

"Sakura!"

Sakura turned around to see Touya running towards them, carrying her Roller Blades.

"Touya!" Sakura exclaimed. "How did you know…?"

"Ahem."

Sakura turned to see Syaoran holding a cellular phone.

"Syaoran called and told me that you're going to need these," Touya explained, gesturing to the pink Roller Blades he had in his hands. "Go kicked some butt, Kajiuu."

Sakura hugged her brother. "Arigato Onii-chan."-She turned and gave Syaoran a kiss on the cheek-"Thanks Syaoran."

Syaoran, of course, turned red and Touya started to laugh at the sight.

"This must be your luck day," Touya whispered, nudged Syaoran. "Having two girls fight for you and having a girl such as Sakura give you a kiss."

Syaoran nodded his head dumbly.

"Come on, Kinomoto!" Sarah said, angry as ever. "Lets get the last battle over with."

Sakura smiled and quickly strapped on her Roller Blades. "Okay, I'm ready. Lets begin."

With Sarah using a pair of Roller Blades from the college and Sakura using her own blades, the two prepared for battle on the track field.

"This will be the last and final battle," Syaoran announced. "The girl who wins this will also win the bet. The first one who completes a lap around the field shall be the winner. NO pushing or fighting when racing," Syaoran added, looking over at Sarah.

'Even though he said that, Sarah will still try and hurt me,' Sakura thought.

"On your mark, get set, GO!"

Using her well-known racing start, Sakura got ahead of Sarah with no problem. She noticed that she was only going half the speed she could on any regular day.

'I never want to do three sports one after anther again,' she thought.

"You better keep your speed up, Sakura," she told herself.

"Go Sakura!" she heard Syaoran yell.

'I have to win this.'

After what seemed like a long trip of torture, Sakura beat Sarah easily. Just like after the soccer battle, Sakura collapsed to the ground and Sarah started to cry.

'I did it!' Sakura thought, exhausted.

"Sakura!!"

Sakura didn't lift her head or move.

"You guys are diffidently not getting me to walk home," Sakura said. Touya and Syaoran laughed.

Syaoran leaned down to Sakura. "Thanks Sakura."

Sakura blushed seeing Syaoran so close. "N-no problem."

Syaoran picked her up and turned to Touya. "I'll carry her home."

"Are you sure? I can…" Touya trailed off. Sakura was glaring at him. "On second thought…you can carry her."

Sakura smiled and snuggled into Syaoran.

'I'm going to enjoy this,' she thought, but unfortunately she fell asleep not long after.

Syaoran looked down at the angel in his arms and saw her sleeping peacefully as him and Touya walked to the Kinomoto house. Touya also saw his sister asleep.

"Syaoran…"

"Yeah?"

"Do you like my sister?"

Syaoran's face turned a pretty crimson color. "Well…I…uh…"

Touya smiled. "You can tell me. I won't tell her."

Syaoran sighed. "Yes I do love her."

"You two really need to get it together."

"What do you mean?"

Touya sweatdropped. "Nothing!"

Syaoran raised his eyebrow. "Okay…"

Not long after, the two males arrived at the Kinomoto residence with Sakura still asleep in Syaoran's arms.

"What happened?!" Fujitaka asked as he saw Syaoran enter the house carrying Sakura.

"A challenge that involved three tough sports after another," Syaoran answered as he walked up stairs.

"Did she win?" Fujitaka asked his son.

"Hai," Touya answered, watching Syaoran carry Sakura. "Her bedroom is on the left, Syaoran!"

"Okay," Syaoran said. He entered Sakura's room and laid Sakura on her bed.

"Sakura?" Syaoran whispered, leaning close to her.

Sakura moaned and turned.

Syaoran smiled, but right when he was going to pull away, Sakura threw her arms around Syaoran's neck and held him close just like she would if he was a teddy bear.

Syaoran blushed. "Um…as much as I do like to be held by you…I really don't think this is wise…"

'Great. What am I supposed to do?' Syaoran thought.

Sakura's grip tightened around Syaoran's neck. Her face now looked scared and pale.

Syaoran began to worry. "Sakura?"

Sakura's death grip released and she started to roll around. "Syaoran…"

Syaoran, relieved to be out of her grip, started to shake her nicely. "Wake up."

Sakura kept on twisting and turning while she mumbled words. "No!"

"No what, Sakura?" Syaoran asked, still failing to wake the sleeping Cheery Blossom.

"NO!" she screamed before snapping awake. Sakura looked around and gasped as her emerald eyes landed on Syaoran. Her eyes filled up with tears as she threw her arms around his neck.

"Sakura what's the matter?" Syaoran asked as eh smoothed her hair.

"I had a terrible dream!" Sakura sobbed. "Sarah tired to attack you and take you away from me! I didn't even have the chance to tell you my feelings and that I…" Sakura gasped as soon as the words left her mouth and covered her mouth.

Syaoran pulled away to look in her eyes. "What did you say?"

Sakura blushed. "NOTHING! You must be hearing thins, Syaoran!" Sakura answered quickly.

Syaoran frowned. "Yeah I must have."

'He looked like he wanted me to tell him my feelings,' Sakura thought, as she stared into Syaoran's amber eyes. She felt memorized as she felt herself lean slowly forward. She noticed Syaoran was also leaning forward.

Suddenly Touya came into. "Syaoran ph…"

Sakura and Syaoran pulled away faster then you can say, "busted". Both of their faces were the color of cherries. Sakura glared at Touya.

"…Am I missing something?" Touya asked.

"Go away, Onii-chan!"

"I wasn't here for you, Kajiuu!"-Sakura growled-"Syaoran, Eriol is on the phone for you."

Syaoran groaned. "Thanks Touya," he said as he walked out of the room. Syaoran walked down the stairs and picked up the phone. "Great timing, BUDDY!!"

Eriol winced. "I call to tell you something and this is what I get?"

"How did you know I was here anyways?" Syaoran asked.

Eriol sweatdropped.

**********Flashback************

Eriol and Tomoyo watched as Sakura and Syaoran left the ice cream parlor.

"Should we follow them?" Tomoyo whispered to Eriol.

"Yes! Of course!" Eriol whispered.

Tomoyo giggled.

Eriol turned and looked at Yamazaki and Chiharu. "Um…we are going to go."

The couple smiled at them. "Okay."

Eriol stood up and grabbed Tomoyo's hand. "Do you have your video camera?" he whispered to her.

Tomoyo smiled and patted her purse. "Of course!"

Eriol dragged Tomoyo out of the parlor. "Then lets go!"

The two followed Sakura and Syaoran and watched as Sakura and Sarah battled. Tomoyo of course caught all of this on tape.

"I'm really surprised Sarah can play that good," Eriol said.

"I know," Tomoyo said. "But…"-She smiled-"Sakura's better!"

They watched the whole battle and watched them go.

*********End of Flashback*********

Eriol came back to reality. "Um…well…I just knew."

Syaoran smirked. "Yeah right. You were probably following us."

Eriol sweatdropped. "I called you to tell you that you are the captain of the soccer team and this is how you treat me?"

"Yes this is…how…I-what did you say?" Syaoran stumbled.

Eriol smiled. "You are the captain of the team," he repeated. "I'm your Co-captain."

"YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Syaoran yelled, dropping the phone in the excitement.

Eriol winced. "Geez Syaoran. Are you trying to make me death?"

"Syaoran?"

Syaoran turned around to see Sakura walking down the stairs. He grabbed her around the waist and tossed her into the air.

Sakura giggled. "Syaoran!"

"You are looking at the new captain of the soccer team!"

Sakura giggled and threw her arms around him. "You are?" Sakura asked, excitedly.

"Yep!!"

Sakura hugged him. "That's so great Syaoran!!!!!!!"

Touya smiled and walked past the two to the phone. "Are you still there, Eriol?"

"Yeah. Here and deaf," Eriol answered trying to get the hearing back in his ear that Syaoran screamed in.

Touya laughed. "Right now, Syaoran is tossing Sakura in the air. You probably won't be able to reach him for a while. Did you want to talk to him anymore?"

Eriol smiled. "Nah, that's okay. Thanks Touya," he said right before hanging up.

"No problem," Touya said, watching Sakura and Syaoran.

"Oh Syaoran!" Sakura said as Syaoran spun her around in the air. "I'm so happy for you!"

Syaoran stopped, but still held Sakura up in the air. "We've got to celebrate!!!!" He grabbed Sakura's hand and Touya's and sprinted out the door.

"Syaoran! Let us at least tell my father!" Sakura said as Syaoran continued to drag her and Touya.

Syaoran let go of her and Touya and ran back to the house. He came out a couple of minutes later with Fujitaka. Sakura and Touya sweatdropped.

"He's gone wacko," Touya said.

Sakura nodded her head. "He's still kawaii though!"

Touya sweatdropped again. "If you say so."

"What's going on here?" Fujitaka asked as him and Syaoran reached Sakura and Touya.

Sakura giggled. "Syaoran made the captain of the soccer team and he wants to celebrate. What do you say Otou-san? Shall we boggy?"

Fujitaka sighed. "You guys can, but I have a lot of work to do."

"Are you sure you can't come?" Touya asked.

Fujitaka nodded his head. "Yeah, you guys go out and have some fun. Just be back before dawn."

Sakura and Touya nodded their head. "Hai!"

Syaoran smiled. "Alright! Lets go!"

~*~

Sakura flopped down on her bed.

"Man, we sure ate a lot," she said, patting her stomach.

Syaoran took them to one of the busiest places in town. Her and Syaoran danced while Touya found his own partner to dance with.

Sakura sighed happily. 'He sure is a great dancer,' she thought. She also remembered being in his arms when he found out the news of being the captain. She giggled and started to get ready for bed. Finally, about ten minutes later she pulled the covers over her.

"Good night, Syaoran."

~*~

Monday finally came around again.

Syaoran sat in his desk in math and started dazing off. Sakura's face appeared in front of him. He watched her giggle and smile at him. His face heated up and didn't bother to shake it off. He knew that it was no use. He loved her and he knew it.

'Syaoran…you idiot,' he thought to himself. 'I can do many things that are impossible to the average man, but I can't tell a girl that I love her.'

"Syaoran…?"

Syaoran pulled himself back into reality and blushed at what he first saw. Sakura's face was right in front of him.

Sakura frowned. "Are you okay, Syaoran?"

Syaoran nodded. "Yeah I'm alright."

She giggled and plunked down in her seat next to him. "Good."

Syaoran's face heated up more. "Um…Sakura…?"

Sakura turned to look at him. "Yeah?"

"Um…can you…can you…"

Sakura blinked. "Can I what, Syaoran?"

"Our first soccer game is this Friday night against the Paulia Porcupines and I was hoping that you'd come. Can you?" Syaoran asked, crossing his fingers.

(A.N.: This is a given fact: There is a school in Montana and the school's mascot is the Porcupines. Since Paulia, the school Meimi from Saint Tail goes to might I add, starts with a "P" I found it too hard to resist putting it there. My music teacher told my class this! No offense to that school or Saint Tail fans. I also believe that Walla Walla in Washington State has a school mascot the Psychos or something along that line. Once again, no offense to the school, I just thought it was funny!)

Sakura smiled. "Of course I'll come, Syaoran!! I wouldn't want to miss your first soccer game as captain."

Syaoran's face, if possible, went darker. "G-great!"

Mr. Ardenson walked into room and class began.

~*~

During the rest of the week, Tomoyo and Eriol kept their eyes on Syaoran and Sakura, but nothing really happened. Sakura's day just stayed normal. You know the go to college, see your crush, giggle and flirt, go to the next two classes still flirting with your crush type of days. When Friday came around though, it was never more welcomed.

Sakura and Tomoyo made plans to go to the game together and arrive early for good seats. The whole way over to the University stadium, Sakura grew more and more nervous.

"You know Sakura," Tomoyo said, "Syaoran's the one who is supposed to be nervous."

Sakura blushed. "I know. I know."

Tomoyo giggled. 'Syaoran's probably more nervous about Sakura being there then the game itself!'

Sakura pulled Tomoyo. "Come on Tomoyo or we'll get bad seats!"

Tomoyo looked at her watch and sweatdropped. "Sakura we're almost two hours early! I don't think even the team will be there yet!"

Sakura sweatdropped. "I guess you're right."

"Come on, Sakura," Tomoyo said. "Lets go get some ice cream before we'll head over to the game. That will take some of the two hours away."

Sakura smiled. "Okay! Lets go!"

After sitting and talking for a while in the ice cream parlor, the girls headed over to the stadium with half an hour before the game.

"When are you going to tell Syaoran, Sakura?" Tomoyo asked while they walked to the game.

Sakura looked down at the ground, not looking where she was walking. "I'm not sure. I'm not even sure I want him to know, Tomoyo," she said, sadly as they reached the University parking lot.

Tomoyo frowned. "Why? You two are perfect together! Why shouldn't he know?"

Sakura shrugged and kept on walking looking at the ground…that is until she bumped into someone. Sakura braced herself for a hard fall, but it never came.

"Are you okay?"

Sakura opened her eyes to see her savior was…

Not Syaoran.

(A.N.: Got ya! Thought it was going to be Syaoran didn't you? ^o^ Got ya!)

The man was the same age as her. He had blond hair and bright blue eyes.

Sakura stood up and bowed to the guy.

"Thank you," she politely said.

The guy grabbed Sakura's hand.

"You are like an angel from heaven," he said to her.

Sakura blushed. "W-w-what?"

Tomoyo pulled Sakura away. "Come on or we'll never get good seats!"

"Are you going to the soccer game?" the blond asked.

Sakura nodded her head. "Yes we are."

The guy smiled. "My name is Oikawa. I'm the Captain of the Paulia's soccer team."

Both Sakura and Tomoyo gasped.

"Y-you're the c-captain?" Sakura stuttered.

Oikawa nodded his head. "Yep."

Tomoyo smiled. 'This guy could help Sakura and Syaoran get together!'

"Oh well…we attend school here at this University," Sakura said, hoping it would get the guy to back off. It didn't work though.

"Oh really?" Oikawa said. "Do you know the captain?"

Sakura smiled proudly. "I do know the captain. Why do you ask?"

"I heard the guy is a really jerk."

Tomoyo had to hold Sakura back from punching the guy.

"Syaoran is NOT a jerk!" Sakura yelled.

Oikawa held his hands up in defense. "I said 'I heard' it. Doesn't mean it's true or anything! Man you act like you're in love with the guy!!"

Tomoyo giggled at her crimson friend. "That's because she is."

Sakura smacked Tomoyo on the arm. "TOMOYO!"

Tomoyo shrugged. "Hey! Truth hurts!"-She started to drag Sakura away and towards the stadium-"We've got to go get seats, Sakura!"

Oikawa watched the purple haired girl drag the angel away. 'So she's in love with the captain of this University's soccer team? I'll make her see differently!'

Sakura and Tomoyo stepped into the stadium and sat down on the very first row. The soccer team was already starting to warm up and people have started to pile in. Chiharu joined the girls along with Meilin and Molly.

"Do you think Syaoran's nervous, Sakura?" Molly asked her.

Tomoyo giggled. "Not as nervous as Sakura!"

Sakura, now red gave Tomoyo a playful hit. "Yes I do believe Syaoran's nervous."-She turned to Meilin-"Do you know how long it is until the kick off?"

Meilin checked her watch. "Oh about five to ten minutes."

On the sidelines, Syaoran was watching Sakura sitting with the girls.

"Are you Syaoran Li?"

Syaoran turned to see a blond haired man. "Yes I am. Who are you?"

"My name is Oikawa. I'm the captain of Paulia's soccer team," the man answered.

Syaoran smiled and stuck his hand out to shake hands. "Hello. Nice to meet you."

Oikawa smiled, but didn't shake Syaoran's hands. "I didn't come over for acquaintance."-Syaoran frowned-"I came over for a bet."

Syaoran blinked. "A bet?"

Oikawa nodded his head. "Yes a bet."-He walked closer to the bleachers-"I believe you know this beautiful angel, do you not?" he asked, gesturing to Sakura.

Sakura saw Oikawa talking to Syaoran and pointed over at her. Sakura stood up to listen what they were talking about.

Syaoran growled and nodded his head. "Yes I do know this very beautiful Cherry Blossom."

Oikawa turned to Sakura. "Is that your name?"

"In a different language, yes it is," Sakura answered.

Oikawa smiled to her and turned back to Syaoran. "How about this: the team who wins gets to take the Cherry Blossom…on a date."
