Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Where Love Blooms ❯ The Claiming of a Wolf and a Sorcerer ( Chapter 9 )

Disclaimer: Since I accidentally flushed my imaginary lawyer down the toilet, I don't have to listen to him yelling at me about legal rights anymore. YAY! Anyway the point is I don't own Card Captor Sakura, CLAMP does.

Where Love Blooms- The Claiming of a Wolf and a Sorcerer

The next morning it was suprising that it was Sakura that dragged a dazed Tomoyo out of bed and into school on time.

"Tomoyo!" yelled Sakura annoyed, "what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," said Tomoyo cheerfully nearly skipping her way into class,

Sakura just watched, confused at her odd behaviour,

"If I didn't know better I'd say she was in love," said a wry voice behind her,

Sakura spun round only to be face to face with Syaoran, out of shock she totally forgot about the day before and promptly yelled,

"What! With who?"

Syaoran shrugged,

"You're her best friend, you tell me." he merely stated,

Sakura thought back, running events over in her head.

"Eriol!" she said triumphantly,

Syaoran raised an eyebrow, thinking about it,

"I suppose,"

Sakura suddenly remembered who she was with and blushed, Syaoran suddenly tinged pink and said,

"Ohayou [1]," before giving her a quick kiss then rushing into the classroom, quickly dodging various girls.

Sakura looked amused and walked into the classroom where Tomoyo was trying to pack her bag, emphasis on the trying, she was so distracted she either pulled out the wrong book or dropped it on the floor, Sakura sighed and shook her head, heading towards Tomoyo,

"Daijoubu? [2]" she asked packing Tomoyo's bag for her.

"Huh?" asked Tomoyo dazed.

"Lovestruck aren't we?" Sakura asked amused, though it was more a statement than a question.

Tomoyo flushed,

"So what happened?" inquired Sakura,

"We had dinner and we danced and he-he kissed me…" Tomoyo's sentence grew quieter and quieter till it trailed off. "But I don't know if we're a couple or not, I-I mean I left pretty quickly, and, and well,"

"Tomoyo you're babbling," stated Sakura, "and what do you mean not a couple, you have a romantic dinner with him, dance with him, he kisses you and you say you're not sure if you're a couple? Are you crazy?" (A/N: Go Sakura!)

Just then Eriol waltzed, looking extremely pleased with himself, he brushed off several girls before heading to Tomoyo's direction, Tomoyo blushed and looked the floor as Eriol reached her,

"Good morning Tomoyo," he said in perfect english before hugging her and giving her a quick peck on the forehead.

Sakura smiled and gave Tomoyo an I-told-you-so look, Tomoyo blushed but perked up,

"Ohayou Eriol-kun," she replied prefering Japanese, pointedly ignoring all the glares she was getting from jealous girls.

She gave Eriol a loose hug then turned back to Sakura with a particularly evil gleam in her eyes,

"And what's this with Syaoran now Sakura?"

Sakura blanched,

"W-what?" she stuttered, "What about me and Syaoran?"

"You think we didn't see your little scene?" interjected Eriol, smirking.

""Just because I'm distracted doesn't mean I'm blind Sakura," continued Tomoyo trying very hard not to break out squealing.

By now a small crowd had gathered around Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol. Mostly made up of jealous girls, curious boys and the occasional jealous boyfriend.

"What's happening?" asked a teacher coming in, at once every single student rushed back into his or seat, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief as she sat down at her desk.

Sakura spent the rest of the day dodging Eriol and Sakura, who were hot on her heels after some gossip. However during lunch the pair managed to corner Sakura at a table, looking totally innocent eating lunch.

"Spill Sakura," urged Tomoyo, her eyes gleaming in anticipation.

"N-n-nani[3]?" Sakura stuttered, squirming in her chair.

"Sakura-" began Eriol, but was cut of when Syaoran took a seat beside Sakura, which was surprising to say the least considering Syaoran never even showed up for lunch let alone sit with anyone.

"What's happening?" he asked casually whilst glaring at Eriol and ignoring the envious glances of various girls.

"Nothing Syaoran, we were talking to Sakura?" he said with the look of pure innocence. His normally icy hard eyes were currently replaced with the warm blue hues that rarely ever showed except to his closest friends.

At that many girls nearly swooned, two bishounen sitting at one table looking extremely cute was too much to bear for most girls, except for Tomoyo and Sakura. Many girls blinked jealously.

After a while most people had gone back to eating whilst discreetly oogling at Syaoran an Eriol who were currently engaged in a battle of wits. Sakura sighed and went to dispose of the leftovers on her plate, whilst Tomoyo sweatdropped but listened with mild curiosity and amusement.

Syaoran and Eriol promptly closed off their discussion as they saw a particularly over-confident, bratty girl that had just transferred to their class saunter over. Syaoran resumed eating, seemingly very interested in his plate whilst Eriol's azure orbs took on his usual icy smooth gleam.

"Akuma[4]," Eriol greeted her smoothly, in perfect english with cold politeness, one he rarely used unless he was extremely annoyed.

"Eriol," she nodded curtly.

She immediately turned her attention to Syaoran, Eriol was now official property of Tomoyo from their display in the morning, meaning only Syaoran was free since he wasn't 'officially' a couple with anyone.

Syaoran inwardly cringed, but continued glaring at his plate as if trying to incinerate with a glance.

"Syaoran." Akuma said with sickening sweetness, laying a hand on his arm, Syaoran inwardly cringed.

"Akuma," Syaoran replied weakly albeit irritated as he shrugged her hand off subtly but firmly.

A slight flash of annoyance flashed in Akuma's eyes but it was quickly clouded over with false cheerfulness, she was about to continue when Sakura walked back from throwing away her leftovers.

Syaoran immediately stood up, scraping his chair back. The noise causing some unwanted stares,

"Sakura!" he said in relief giving her a quick hug and picking up his bag at the same time. "Let's go," he said hooking an arm aroung hers.

Sakura looked extremely confused, Tomoyo bit down on her lip hard to stop herself from laughing out loud at the outraged look on Akuma's face whilst Eriol smirked at his food.

"Go where?" Sakura asked confused.

"We have to finish our history project," Syaoran said giving Sakura peck on the cheek.

Akuma coughed,

"Syaoran, I didn't know you liked Sakura," she said stressing each word.

Catching the jealousy and outrage in her voice Sakura's emerald gaze hardened slightly.

"I'm surprised you didn't notice Akuma, you're usually quite perceptive." she said hugging Syaoran's arm. "Let's go then Syaoran."

With that Sakura walked out defiantly dragging a stunned Syaoran behind with her leaving, a seething Akuma and a hall of stunned students.

"Sakura must be posessive," commented Eriol quietly. " she doesn't usually have such an outburst."

Tomoyo, still too stunned to speak, gave him a light slap before picking up his hand and standing up with him to race after Sakura.
