Enough rambling. . .ON WITH IT!

--------------------------------------------------

"S o you're telling me that Syaoran. My Syaoran. Beat some bum to a bloody pulp because he was advancing on you? That's Shocking! Simply Shocking!" Meiling said, laughing after Sakura told them about what happened last night.

"Oh hush up! You don't know what happened! He just. . .grabbed him by the collar and threatened him." Sakura said sighing.

What had happened last night between Sakura and Syaoran was no mystery. Well. . .not anymore. After their so-called "innocent kiss", Sakura went inside the bar right away only to find that Serena had left with Mamouru. No doubt having some fun on their own. Sakura's match-making plans had worked after all, and sure Sakura planed to rub it in their faces the day after, but she still needed someone to talk to about what had happened. About the kiss. And what Syaoran meant when he said he still wanted it.

"Okay. Okay, so he beat the living daylights outta the guy. Then what?" Tomoyo asked eagerly, shoving her offensive camera into Sakura's face for a close-up.

"Tomoyo! Get that God-forsaken thing out of my face. This is not something I would like to remember in my years to come." Sakura said, shoving the aforementioned camera out of her face.

"Fine." Tomoyo pouted and turned off her camera.

"Getting back to the subject at hand," Rika stated, getting the attention of everyone in the room, "what happened after that?"

"Well. . .he checked if I was alright. And. . .left." Sakura said, uneasily. She didn't like lying to her best-friends, but those details didn't need to be revealed. Especially details that involved Syaoran, her and a lip-lock.

"Sakura, you're not a good liar. Now I can either hear it from you, or I can call up Syaoran and hear his side of the conversation. And I'm sure that his will be much more interesting then yours about him just leaving you there. And if I know Syaoran. . .something more happened." Meiling said, an evil glint appeared in her eye.

All pairs of eyes turned to Sakura. All lips had an evil smirk planted on them. And all ears were intent on listening on each and every detail Sakura was about to spill out.

"Nothing you guys. He just--just lef. . .why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling the truth!" Sakura faltered under the intense glares given to her by her friends. She sighed, finally giving up.

"Fine." Sakura said meeting up with smiles on her friends faces.

"It was completely innocent and it didn't mean a thing. I, in fact, didn't know why it happened in the first place. But before I knew it, one thing led to another and we were kissing." Sakura said softly, red staining her cheeks without permission.

"I knew it! I knew that you two were meant to be together!" Meiling shouted making the women wince covering their ears.

"Meiling, it's not like that. I don't like him in that way! There is no attraction between him and I. None what-so-ever. No bond, no connection--"

"No trust." Naoko interrupted, speaking up for the first time.

Sakura looked at her in surprise. "What?"

"No trust." Naoko repeated. "Because you don't trust men, nor do you want to. Your mother has seemed to beat it into your head that men are not to be trusted, but it's up to you to make the decision on whether or not you want to even make the commitment to trust them. Trust is the first step into letting someone into your heart. To let them know all of your secrets. Without trust, there can be no love.

"You need to stop pretending that there is nothing there, as there so clearly is. You need to make that first step to admitting to yourself that there might be a slight chance that Syaoran might be the one to make you break all of your rules all your beliefs, and believe it or not, it might be for the better.

"We all know what you truly feel Sakura. You're the only one still trying to deny it all. I'm sure even Syaoran has told you that there is something between you two. The only thing that is keeping you from admitting it, not only to all of us but also to yourself, is the fact that there is no trust in your heart."

Sakura stared at Naoko as she listened to what she was saying. Naoko was right. And it was easy to admit that. Naoko was always right. Maybe she had to give in to the voice inside her head that said to give it a try with Syaoran. Maybe she should try to accept the fact that he made her feel something different. Accept the fact that she was attracted to him in more ways then she thought was possible. Maybe they had a connection. Maybe it was fate. Destiny. Could it be that she was in lo---No!

"No!" Sakura said loudly. Naoko blinked.

"You are wrong this time Naoko. I'm not afraid to trust. In fact. I have a date this very evening." Sakura stated, getting up from the chair she was sitting in, and picked up Kero on her way to the kitchen. Her friends followed behind her in a daze.

"You have a what?!"

"A date? Why didn't I know?"

"With a man?"

"Tonight?" All four friends seemed to be able to finish each others sentences and thoughts without noticing. Sakura turned around to look at eight pairs of wide, shocked eyes. She smirked.

"Yes a date. Me. I have a date." she stated smugly. Before Sakura could start to have an internal party with herself, she was bombarded with questions from her nosey friends. She managed to avoid each one until Meiling had her input on the subject.

"It's with Syaoran right?" Sakura looked at her. If looks could kill, Meiling would be dead and buried with Sakura spitting on her grave top laughing maniacally.

"No. Actually, it's with Shuichi." Sakura said. At the name the four girls stumbled back a bit, and Kero started to growl uncontrollably. Sakura started petting Kero to calm the golden dog down.

"Sh-Shuichi? But, he's been after you for God knows how long! And you always said no! Why now?! What happened? Did he drug you?" Tomoyo said, going so close to Sakura that their noses were touching.

"No, he didn't drug me. But, I just thought I would give it a chance. Besides, wasn't it you who said I needed to find a guy?" Sakura said suspiciously.

"Yes! But the guy I wanted you to find was Syaoran!" Tomoyo cried, tears streaming down her face at a high rate. If she didn't stop they would all surely drown.

"Yes. I too would like to know how you could go out with Shuichi and not Syaoran." Rika said, confusion written all over her face.

"I get it. . .you just did it so that he would stop asking right? RIGHT?!" Tomoyo screeched. How was it possible to go out with the most annoying human being and not the most attractive?

"Well. . ."

"Now, now. Leave Sakura alone. She did prove us wrong after all. We should be glad that she has started dating again. Even if it is with Shuichi. Now lets leave Sakura alone so that she can change and get ready. No Tomoyo, you can't stay to help her. . .we want her to live, not die a tragic death. You go and have fun Sakura. We'll take care of Kero and the shop. Take your time. Don't come home if it's too late." All mouths hung open as they turned to the speaker. Meiling.

"WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU? TRAITOR!" Tomoyo yelled pointing an accusing finger at Meiling who just stood there smiling. Sakura looked stunned at the maturity Meiling showed.

"Yea. Come on Tomoyo. We can't do anything if Sakura has already agreed to go." Rika said, Naoko nodded.

"Mad. You've all gone mad." Tomoyo said weakly but she stopped hollering.

"Well. . .now that that's done and over with, we take our leave. We'll take care of Kero for you." Meiling said, grabbing Kero out of Sakura's arms. Meiling started to lead the way to the door, followed by Naoko, Rika, and slowly trailing behind them was Tomoyo, stunned by everything that has happened.

"Well. . .that worked out quit nicely if I do say so myself." Sakura said to herself as she trounced up the stairs to get ready for her date.

---Out-Side---

"That was brilliant!" Rika said happily.

"Couldn't have been better planned." Naoko agreed.

"Thank you my adoring fans." Meiling said glowing. Kero barked, wagging his tail around happily.

"And you too Kero. Nice growling in there." Meiling laughed, scratching Kero behind his ears. Tomoyo, on the other hand looked ready to kill.

"What the Hell is going on here? Were you listening to the same conversation I heard?" Tomoyo raged.

"Actually Tomoyo, no we didn't." Rika said, getting a skeptical look from Tomoyo.

"You see what happened was. . .well, Meiling was the brains behind this plan. It's only fair that she should explain it. I don't think my words would do it justice to the sheer brilliance of Meiling." Naoko said laughing.

"Yes, well. I amaze myself sometimes." Meiling said gloating. The girls' laughter was broken by Tomoyo's cough. She looked at Meiling expectantly.

"Well. . .I think we all know that it would take Sakura years before she would admit to anyone, more or less herself, that there is deep attraction between Syaoran and herself. So after thinking for a long time, I came up with an amazing plan. I didn't know what happened between Syaoran and Sakura until today, just like the rest of you, but it couldn't have gone more perfect.

"At first, it was only my intention to merely bring up the subject of them two together. But then my mind just started reeling with ideas. I phoned Naoko and told her to prepare some sort of speech on how Sakura is far too afraid to get into any relationship. Naoko then called Rika to help her out on it. Then I phoned Shuichi and, believe it or not, I practically bribed him to ask Sakura out one last time with the promise that she would say 'yes' this time. He wouldn't do it since she turned him down too many times. I told him to make plans at the saloon tonight. The catch? He's not going to show up. This cost me 'round fifty bucks just so that he would do it!

"The next part was the cream of the crop. I called Syaoran to tell him to be at the saloon tonight. Some sort of Karaoke Night or something. It was easier to get him to come then I anticipated. I suppose that he's bored to death and needs something to do somewhere. And it did help that I said Sakura had "date" there. But I did it! And now, Sakura basically has a definite date with Syaoran. She'll be heartbroken that Shuichi doesn't come, and who is there to break her fall?" Meiling looked at Tomoyo for an answer.

"Syaoran." Tomoyo breathed, amazed at the wonderful plan Meiling had concocted.

"Right!" Meiling laughed.

"But, why didn't anyone tell me about this?" Tomoyo asked sadly. Sakura was her best friend, and she wanted to be included in the match-making scheme of the century.

"And what? Miss that brilliant performance of Tomoyo madness? I don't think so." Meiling replied.

"I hope you can run. . ." Tomoyo said, before the great game of Meiling running away from Tomoyo's doom took place. Kero barked and jumped out of Meiling's arms, running behind them happily, Naoko and Rika running behind laughing.

Tonight was going to hold many surprises indeed.

---------------------------------

Sakura stood outside of the saloon. Her arms were crossed and an angry expression was creased on her face. Sakura Kinomoto was mad. She had been waiting for almost an hour for Shuichi to arrive, but she figured it was no use after she found out that they were both meeting here. You know something is wrong, when you have to meet your date at the place were the date is supposed to be held. Nothing good can come of this.

Sakura sighed looking across the parking lot. She shouldn't give up hope. Shuichi has been after her for a long time. He wouldn't just. . .not show up. Would he?

She turned her body around to face the door leading into the saloon. A young girl was heading up the stairs to the platform. She took the mike off of it's stand and waited for the music to play.

Sakura was hear long enough to know that this young girl was very talented. She had sung two other songs before this one, and she was quite good. A fast paced melody began to play. A shadow crept up behind Sakura.

Futari ga kitto deaeruyouna mahou wo kakete

A hand was placed on Sakura's bare shoulder. She shivered at the contact as fear swept through her body. She shut her eyes and quickly spun around, smacking whomever it was that took her by the shoulder in the nose. She heard a groan of pain from behind her.

"Oh! I'm so sor-oh! It's just you, that's okay then." Sakura said quickly after realizing who it was she hit when he looked at her. When she saw his eyes. Those wonderfully, brilliant amber eyes.

"I think you broke my nose." Syaoran said, holding his hand to his nose.

"Men are such babies." Sakura whispered. The song continued to play, as the girl sang in the background.

Ryoute wo sotto kasanete hora hohoemukara

"Here I am trying to be a nice guy and what do I get? A slap in the nose." Syaoran said, seemingly hurt.

"Keyword in that sentence was "trying" to be a nice guy. Try harder." Sakura said sarcastically.

Honto no kimochi kitsukani ai furishite totsuzen futari. Koi ni ochitano

"So why are you here all by your self. Dressed like that?" Syaoran asked, looking at her body hugging dress. It was strapless and clung to her body like a glove. Syaoran couldn't help but keep picturing what she would look out of that dress. Maybe soon, he wouldn't have to think and he would see it for himself.

"If you must know," she said, looking at him, "I'm on a date."

"Oh." Syaoran said, feeling defeated.

"But after waiting for over an hour for him to show up, I suppose I got stood-up."

"Oh!" Syaoran said, his feeling of security returning to him.

Let me be with you

"So I suppose I better go home. I knew this was a bad idea." Sakura mumbled. Feeling embarrassed that she had to admit to Syaoran that she was stood-up. She was about to walk away when Syaoran grabbed her gently by the arm.

Let me be with you

She looked at him, confusion clouded her emerald eyes.

"Come with me." he said, his voice lower then it was previously.

Let me be with you

Looking at him, she couldn't help but nod. She didn't trust her voice at the moment. She saw him smile. A true, genuine smile, and the sight of it made her heart leap up and pound against her rib-cage.

He grabbed her hand and held it tightly in his. This small gesture somehow made Sakura very happy that Shuichi didn't show up. Who knew that such a small gesture could make her heart melt, and make her feel like she belonged? Like she belonged to be here, with him.

Dakishinetaino

------------------------------------- -----------

Sakura didn't know for how long they walked, but when they finally stopped, she realized that Syaoran had taken her to the shore.

Nobody was out this late. She was alone with him and the stars that shone brightly above their heads. Syaoran wasn't holding her hand anymore, but instead held her by the waist, holding her closer to him. It was like a forbidden touch. Only lovers were allowed to hold each other in this way. So close together, as if their bodies were melded, and carved in one postion: very very close together. Their hearts beating in rythme, their souls unknowingly combining, their hearts inwardingly melding together.

It was quite. And when it was quite, people tend to think. And thinking leads to unexpecting and surprising discoveries about things you either already knew, or things you didn't want to admit. Both their minds began to reel. One thinking this was insane, unbelievable yet right. So very right. The other thinking it forbidden. That it was wrong to feel such a strong emotion towards one you just met.

But it happend. And though neither wanted to try and deny it, even if they admit it only to themselves.

Syaoran turned Sakura around in his arms, so that she was facing him. Large emerald clashed wonderfully with knowing amber.

"Just one kiss." he urged softly, his breath trailing warmly on her cheek.

It was madness, but she felt herself breaking. Heat flowed through her body and intensity flowed through her everywhere he touched. Those dark eyes seemed to draw her in. . .

The temptation to kiss him was almost overwhelming. He was someone she just met. Her enemy. Competing with her to keep her beliefs straight, to keep her heart still.

"Think about it." Syaoran's arm tightened around her waist. His voice was low, persuasive. How could a man's voice make her blood race and tingle? Make her heart ache so?

Some strange magic. . .

"Think about how you almost broke my nose when all I wanted to do was talk to you." he said, frowning slightly.

Despite her self control, she smiled.

"You must have been furious." she murmured, trying hard to keep from laughing at his face.

"With good reason." his hand drifted from her hair and began to trace the delicate curve of her jaw.

"You make me not able to sleep because I keep thinking of you. I planned to wring your neck when I caught up with you after Meiling told me you were going on a date with that spine-less bastard, but now. . ." he smiled, a deep, heart-stopping male smile that made Sakura's knees wobble. It was a good thing his arm was supporting her, she realized faintly.

"I'd much rather kiss you, Sakura."

The sound of her name on his lips was her undoing. And without realizing it, she nodded, almost timidly. Afraid he would laugh in her face and not kiss her; afraid that he would kiss her. But his smile deepened, and he leaned in closer. She held her breath.

Syaoran's lips found hers, and the familiarly of their kiss from before flooded her senses. And she felt as if she would melt.

It was a deep and gentle kiss. Sakura knew only that the world fell away and there was nothing but this man, this moment, this magic, as his warm mouth laid a positive and masterful claim to hers. Syaoran kissed her long and thoroughly and opened her to sweet, wild sensations spiced with fire. A shock of pleasure rocked her, and she trembled, clinging to him. She kissed him back instinctively, and when at long last he lifted her head, she stared dizzily into his eyes.

"I didn't think it was possible for me to be addicted to something so sweet." he said hoarsely.

Before she could whisper permission, he drew her to him and kissed her again. This time the kiss was harder, deeper still, and hungrier than the first. Heat roared through her, and she clung to him, unaware of the voices in her head that warned her to turn back, aware only of his muscled arms around her, his mouth hard against hers, his tongue delving purposefully between her parted lips.

Then came more heat, more fire, a musky world far from innocence and sunlight, and she was beyond thought. Her senses reeled, her heart pounded, and she couldn't breathe. . .couldn't think. . .couldn't stop. . .

It was Syaoran who stopped, drawing away from her so abruptly that Sakura gasped in dismay. Her lips felt bruised and swollen, and bare without his.

"Sakura?" he whispered against he soft, hot lips.

"Hmm?" she murmured.

"Wanna go to your place, somewhere a little more private?"

Her fingers stilled, glued to their position. A second later they slid to his chest and shoved him a few inches away from her. Her eyes widened in sheer horror. Her breasts heaved with every angry breath she took.

"Oh, God, I can't believe I let you do that."

"You Let me? Hell, Sakura, you Encouraged me."

"I'd never do such a thing."

"You did." he brushed his thumb lightly across her lips and she flinched, but she didn't move any further away from him.

"And I have high hopes that you will do that again."

"Well let go of your high hopes bud, cuz this is the highest they're getting." Sakura stated, crossing her arms.

A small smirk played on Syaoran's lips. "Well, it looks like you don't need me anymore."

"That's right. I don't." she said, looking up at him uncertainly.

"Well then I guess I'll take my hopes and leave you here all alone." he said, walking away from her.

Realization started to dawn on her and it took her about a second before she started to run after the retreating figure.

"Hey now!" she yelled when she caught up with him.

"Why I thought that you didn't need me." Syaoran said, a smile tugging at his lips.

"Yeah. . .well. . .I don't. . .it's just that. . .I don't want to walk all the way home by myself dressed like this."

His chuckle sounded through her ears.

"Don't laugh! You're the one who took me all the bloody way here!"

"I didn't see you complaining. In fact, I think you liked it out here."

"Yes, well. . .you caught me at a weak moment." Sakura said, blushing madly.

"Do you think you will have more "weak moments"?" he asked. Looking intently at her.

Sakura took a deep breathe, "Only if you're around."

Syaoran smirked, "Let's go. I'll protect you if someone tries to rape you from the way you're dressed." he said, walking ahead.

"Oh yes. . .I feel loads better now." Sakura whispered to herself as she followed closely behind him. What had she just done? 'Sakura Kinomoto, you are truly an idiot' she thought. 'Think rationally for a second. He can't possibly be real. There must be some hidden intentions, also he has made some of them clear already. I'm sure he doesn't have a spotless record. . .there must be something he has done. Illigally or otherwise. A criminal record, stolen goods. If i can just find that out, I can finally be at peace with myself and let go of this. . .this. . .' her train of thought got disrupted when she stopped walking to vent out her anger. She screamed as best as she could so that Syaoran doesn't turn around and think her a complete loon. 'Attraction! There. . .I said it. . .well not said, thought but, good enough. I am attracted to Syaoran Li.'

Smiling to herself she continued walking. Tonight she would figure out just what Syaoran Li was up too. Tonight, all of her questions will have answers. Tonight, Sakura Kinomoto will find out the truth.

To Be Continued. . .
