Chapter 4.

It was just another school day. But today, as Sakura roller bladed towards Tomeda High, she felt as if she was floating on cloud nine. Her last encounter with Syaoran was still fresh in her memory. She could still feel the softness of his lips pressed up against her own. She felt as though Syaoran's musky, virile scent was still all around her.

Today she arrived at the school on time, which was a rare occasion for Sakura. She walked into her class and was pleasantly surprised to find Syaoran there. He was seated where he always sat. on the set behind Sakura.

When she had walked in, Syaoran was engaged in a conversation with Takashi. But he immediately looked up when she entered. It was as though he felt her presence, even before she entered the room. His eyes lit up at the sight of her and Sakura's face had broken into a bright, wide grin.

She went to her desk and took her seat. She immediately turned around to say good morning to Syaoran, when she received a soft kiss on the cheek.

Loud cries of "Woo Hoo!!" and "Go Syaoran!!" emanated throughout the classroom. Sakura blushed to the roots of her hair.

"Good Morning, my sweet Cherry Blossom."

Syaoran said in a husky voice, which was only for Sakura's ears.

"I would have preferred to kiss you properly. But seeing as how we are in a very public place, I'll have to save it for later."

Syaoran gave her a small smile. Sakura smiled at him in return.

"Good Morning to you too, my Little Wolf. And you know, I would've liked a proper kiss, but the one on the cheek wasn't half bad either."

Syaoran chuckled at Sakura's teasing tone. He ran his eyes all over Sakura's face, as if memorizing her features. Sakura felt herself drowning in Syaoran's amber gaze.

"Geezz! Would you two get a room already!"

They both snapped out of their little world, and turned their gazes to the owner of the voice. Meiling and Tomoyo were smiling broadly at them. Meiling had a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Or you could at least wait `til the class is over to make moony faces at each other." Meiling spoke up again.

"Yeah, I don't think our systems would be able to handle this much sweetness." Tomoyo had spoken this time. Both of them broke into helpless little giggles again.

They would have commented more, but the teacher had walked in, and was now talking attendance. Sakura and Tomoyo's desks were side by side. They both bent towards each other and whispered at the same time.

"I've got so much to tell you."

They exchanged a look and broke into silent giggles. Tomoyo mouthed the words "lunch time" at her, and Sakura nodded her head. They both sat up straight o receive today's lessons.

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

"And that's when I found Sakura standing at the door, waving at nothing." Touya recounted the events of Syaoran's visit to Yukito.

They were both sitting in the back seats of their biology class. And since both Touya and Yukito excelled at that subject, they didn't feel the need to pay attention to the professor. Yukito was being a very good sport throughout Touya's ramblings, and listened to every word he said. He didn't event flinch when Touya threw in a few curses here and there, in honor of Syaoran. He was truly furious at the fact the Syaoran had been able to do the impossible. He had kissed Touya Kinomoto's little sister.

Yukito was looking around him apprehensively, form time to time. They were receiving quite a few looks from their classmates around them. Touya, who had been preoccupied with his retelling of the accursed event, hadn't noticed it.

"But To-ya, are you sure that Syaoran somehow managed to kiss Sakura. I mean you were there, weren't you?" Yukito inquired after he had finished.

"Yeah I was there, and I was keeping a good eye on the brat too. But that Meiling girl told me that Dad was calling for me, and I had to go see what he wanted. She was in on the whole thing with that fuckin' bastard. Dad wasn't even home yet."

"Yeah but To-ya, that doesn't mean that Syaoran had actually managed to kiss her on the lips. He probably just gave her an innocent little kiss on the cheeks." Yukito, the voice of reason, spoke up again.

"Oh for fuck's sake Yuki, wake up. Don't you know anything about women. Sakura was smiling and waving at NOTHING. She had that doped-up, high on drugs look about her. On women, that look usually means that they have just been kissed senseless." Touya's voice had raised a few octaves.

"Ssshhh!!" he was shushed by classmate, who was desperately trying to pay attention to the lesson.

"Sshhh yourself, asshole. Mind your own damn business." Touya growled at the poor boy.

All of a sudden, Yukito chuckled softly. Touya gave him a stern look.

"What??!! What the fuck is so funny?"

This time he growled at Yukito. He made sure to lower his voice this time though. He could care less about his classmate, but he didn't want the professor's wrath to be brought upon himself.

"Oh nothing. Yue just said something." Yukito replies, now sobered up. "So, what are you planning to do now?"

"What did he say?" Touya asked in a calm, yet somewhat dangerous voice.

Yukito gulped and chuckled nervously.

"Oh, that's not important. Lets just move on ahead. So, you were telling me about….."

"Yuki. What. The fuck. Did he. Say?"

"Oh, ummm, well."

Yukito was still hesitant in his reply, so Touya just had to know now. He narrowed his eyes at him.

"O.K. O.K. he said that he doesn't think that you know a lot about women as well. And how would you know about the looks women get after being kissed. Seeing as how you haven't been on a single date for a long time." Yukito replied quickly.

Touya's face had taken a slight red shade. His eyes narrowed even more.

"The fuck is this? That low-life, scum-eating, long-haired freak of nature. What the fuck does he know about dating. He doesn't know anything about me. So just tell him to keep his fuckin' ass out of my damn business." Touya was having difficulty controlling his voice.

There was a flash of silver that streaked through Yukito's eyes, something that Touya had seen happen before.

"What did he say, Yuki? I know he said something. Just tell me what the fuck he said?"

Touya barreled down on his friend, who had started perspiring furiously. Yukito took a deep sigh and said.

"Yue said that you obviously have anger management problems. Maybe that's the reason you haven't gone out with a girl. Because no girl would find this trait attractive."

Yukito conveyed Yue's words to his friend. Touya was left stuttering. He couldn't make out a single sentence to throw at Yue, since he was too furious.

He was just about to say something when the professor dismissed the class. Yukito hurriedly gathered his things and stood up.

"Well To-ya. Love to stay and chat, but I've got to go to my next class. See you later."

And with that, Yukito took off. He thanked every Deity he could think of at the moment, that he didn't have any more classes with Touya today. The next time he would see him would be at the end of the day, when they are about to head home. With the direction this conversation was taking, he was sure that he would be left as a mediator between Yue and Touya, while they flung insults at each other. Hopefully, Touya's anger would have subsided by the end of the day.

"Why do you like to push his buttons Yue?" he asked the being residing in his body. "You know how easy it is to set him off."

"I don't know." Yue took a mental shrug. "I just find it pleasurable when I see him irate."

`Yeah, no attraction here I see.' Yukito thought sarcastically, but kept it to himself.

He took a look at his watch. It showed 11:20 at the moment. `I've got a free period at 12:30.' He thought to himself. `That's about that time Sakura and Tomoyo have their lunch break. Maybe I'll go pay them a visit.'

With that final thought, Yukito entered his next classroom. Hoping for the hour to pass quickly.

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

Sakura, Tomoyo and Meiling grabbed their trays from the counter and sat down at the table in a corner of the cafeteria.

"Where is Syaoran?" Tomoyo inquired, once they were seated. "I didn't think he was going to leave you side for a single moment."

Sakura blushed slightly and replied.

"Oh, he went to the soccer practice. He said that since he's been out of the country for a while, he needs to get reacquainted with the team."

"Oh, that's good. That means us girls will have a chance to talk amongst ourselves." Meiling spoke up. "So Sakura, spill the beans already. What happened after I left you two love birds alone."

And Sakura recounted the events of the previous night. She told them about the wonderful kiss that had left her breathless for quite a long time.

"Oh No!!!!" Tomoyo cried out indignantly. "Sakura's first kiss and I didn't capture it on the film. Not fair, not fair, not fair." She was practically wailing.

Sakura smiled softly, while there was a tiny sweat-drop forming on the side of her head. She thanked her lucky stars that Tomoyo was absent from the premised when she had received her first, and quite possible the best, kiss of her life. That was a moment which was for Syaoran and herself alone.

"But, don't matter. I'll make sure to capture Sakura's second kiss on film. And her third kiss. And fourth, and……"

Sakura sighed deeply. Tomoyo and her obsessions was something that Sakura would probably never comprehend.

All of sudden, Sakura saw Tomoyo waving over her head. She was beckoning someone over to their table. She looked behind her and saw Yukito heading towards their table. He was carrying a tray laden with food. He spotted them quickly and plopped himself down next to Sakura. He was sitting across from Meiling, while Sakura was seated across from Tomoyo.

"Hiya Yukito. This is a pleasant surprise." Sakura greeted him happily.

"Hello ladies. How are you all doing today?" Yukito inquired politely.

"This is what I wanted to talk to you about Sakura." Tomoyo spoke up. "Yukito San and I had a very interesting conversation on the phone last night. And he made a very peculiar request."

"Did you do it, Tomoyo?" Yukito asked, interrupting her.

"Yep, done and done. I did what you asked, last night."

Yukito smiled broadly.

"Thank you Tomoyo. I knew I could count on you."

"Hey! You two maybe wanna fill us in. What the hell are you talking about?" Meiling asked, pinning her ruby gaze on the boy in front of her.

"Well, since we know that Touya San is going to be a constant distraction for you and Syaoran. We decided to provide him with a distraction of his own, that would keep him busy and off your case." Tomoyo started the explanation, looking at Sakura. "And who is it that we know can accomplish this task easily. Who is it that can make Touya San run, only by her presence?" Tomoyo inquired both Sakura and Meiling.

They both thought for 2 seconds and spoke up simultaneously.

"Nakuru!!"

"Yep, you got it!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

Yukito, in the meantime, was busy inhaling his food.

"I made a call to Eriol in England last night. I asked him if he would like to visit us for a few weeks and bring along Nakuru and Spinel. He told me that my call couldn't have come at a better time since he's thinking about moving to Japan permanently. He told me that he misses everyone here too much. Plus he wants to be closer to Sakura, since he thinks of her as his daughter." Tomoyo gave them the whole explanation.

Sakura chuckled lightly.

"His daughter? He's barely older than I am."

"Well, you know, since he is the reincarnation of Clow Reed, he is opted to feel this way." Said Tomoyo.

"I think its excellent that they are moving back here. I miss them all so much." Sakura said happily.

"Yeah. And I always enjoyed watching Suppi and Kero go at each other's throats." Said Meiling, amusement showing in her bright ruby eyes.

All of them shared a laughed when they recalled the times when Kero and Suppi had been competitive with each other.

It felt good to laugh like this. Yukito heaved a silent sigh, which hadn't gone unnoticed by Tomoyo's keen eyes.

"What's the matter Yukito San? Is something wrong?" She inquired of him.

"Tomoyo, I think you and I know each other well enough for you to call me just Yukito, don't we?" Yukito said, smiling in Tomoyo's direction.

"O.K. Yukito. So tell us what's on your mind?"

Sakura and Meiling were now paying attention to him too.

"Well, its nothing really. Its just this thing between Yue and Touya. It seems that they are always at each other's throats. And since Yue is a part of me, I have to be the middle-man to deliver their insults to each other." Weariness was evident in Yukito's tone.

"Sometimes, it just gets so frustrating."

Yukito ran a hand through his hair. Yue would have made a comment in his head by now, but Yukito knew that Yue had shut himself off. `Probably resting up for his next fight with Touya.' Yukito thought bitterly. All three of the girls had gone quiet, not knowing how to comfort him in this situation. But then again, could he blame them? Yukito decided to just change the subject.

"So, Tomoyo. Did Eriol tell you when they would get here?" he asked.

"Oh yeah. He said that they'll be here surely by next week." Tomoyo answered him and looked in Sakura's direction, who had gone very quiet.

Those two had been practically since they were born. Tomoyo had learned to tell the signs in Sakura's demeanor. Right now, she knew that Sakura was contemplating something important. Since she was in deep thought. Sakura snapped back to the reality and spoke to Tomoyo and Meiling.

"You guys. Do you wanna come over for a sleep over this Friday?"

"Sure Sakura, I'd love to." Tomoyo readily agreed. They both turned in Meiling's direction.

"All right. Count me in too." She said.

They started making plans about what they would do for the sleep over. Yukito had resumed the task of finishing up his meal.

"Hey Meiling, is that really you?" A voice spoke up, and Meiling looked up to find Brad.

"I didn't know you were back." He said to her.

Brad had been in one of her classes last time. He had supported a serious crush on her back then, and had asked her out on a date countless times. Meiling never actually cared for him back then, since her world had revolved around Syaoran at the time. She only hoped that he had grown out the crush by now.

"Yeah, just got back recently. How have you been Brad?"

As much as she disliked him, she still asked him in a civilized manner.

"Oh, I've been great. Listen Meiling, would you mind if we talked alone for a moment?" he asked her.

Meiling sighed, and excused herself from her current company. She walked with Brad over to his table and sat down to listen to whatever he had to say.

All of this exchange had been observed closely by a pair of well-concealed hazel eyes.

Riiiing.

The school's final bell for the day rang. Sakura, along with the rest of her class, heaved a huge sigh of relief. While she was packing up her school bag, Syaoran whispered in her ear.

"Meet me by the tree, outside the school's playground in five minutes. Alone."

Sakura nodded silently at Syaoran's retreating back. Her heart beat had increased slightly in speed.

"Hey Sakura, you coming?"

Meiling and Tomoyo were waiting for her by the door. Sakura walked over to them and they all started towards the exit.

"Hey listen you guys." Sakura spoke to her two friends. "Why don't you go on ahead. I'll catch up with you later. There's something I have to do."

"O.K. sure. We'll meet up later. Bye Sakura." Said Meiling and took off.

"Call me later and give me all the details." Tomoyo said to Sakura and she too took off after Meiling.

Sakura chuckled softly and waved after them. She then took off towards the meeting place.

When she got there, she found Syaoran leaning against a tree, his face turned up towards the sky.

"Hi Syaoran." She greeted him with a huge smile. "Why did you ask me to come here?"

Syaoran looked down at the girl standing in front of him.

"For this."

He said simply and swiped down to capture Sakura's lips in his own hungry ones. He rubbed their lips together and brought her lips into his mouth. He gently sucked and tasted her flavor, something he had been dying to do since this morning. His arms went around her waist and brought her closer to him.

Sakura had been startled when Syaoran had kissed her all of sudden, but she wasn't complaining. She slipped her arms around his neck to pull him in closer. She found herself drowning in Syaoran's musky scent, that had enveloped her from head to toe.

Syaoran finally broke the connection of their lips. Sakura laid her head on Syaoran's chest, breathing heavily. She listened to the erratic breathing of Syaoran's heart, which sounded more like rhythmic music to her ears.

Syaoran rested his cheek on top of Sakura's head and tightened his hold on her, as if never wanting to let her go. He kissed the top of her head and spoke.

"My sweet Cherry Blossom. The real reason I called you out here was to ask you something."

Sakura looked up at him, confusion showing in her beautiful green eyes.

"What is it Syaoran? You can ask me anything?"

He smiled down at her and dropped a kiss on her forehead.

"I think its time we had our first official date. What do you say?"

"But we've been out lots of time before." She looked up at him, more confused than before.

"No, I mean just you and me. Not you, me and Meiling. And definitely not you, me, Tomoyo and her damned camera form hell."

Syaoran pouted at her cutely, which didn't fail to bring about small giggles from Sakura.

"Yes. I would love that. An evening with just you and me sounds perfect." She gave him a dazzling smile.

"Yess!! How about his Saturday? I know this place that serves excellent food."

"Sure, anywhere you want." Sakura said in a dreamy tone. She was lost in Syaoran's sparkling amber eyes again.

He gave her one last small kiss on the lips and they both started walking towards home. Their hands clenched tightly in each other's grasp.

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

A little further away from the tree, two sets of giggles emanated from behind an over grown shrub.

"That was excellent :giggle: Did you get all that Tomoyo?"

"Of course I got all of that Meiling :giggle: I am the professional cameraman, uh woman, ummm person, yeah cameraperson around here."

Tomoyo and Meiling stepped out from behind the bushes and gave each other high fives.

"Now we have material to "talk about" at our sleep over." Meiling said, and they both started walking away from the school.

They both practically skipped off, thinking Friday just could not come any sooner.

TBC.

Author's notes: whew!! Another chapter done. And I know that I seem to be concentrating more on Syaoran and Sakura rather then Touya and Yue, so please forgive me. I am just having too much fun writing up their parts. I promise that I will try to add more Touya and Yue in the next chapter. Please please please don't forget to review and tell me how I am doing so far. Constructive criticism is welcomed as well. Until next time, Ja ne ^_^
