Hi Minna-san. Hope everyone's doing okay! I'm so happy because I passed my Chemistry final with an A and I have…GOBSTOPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *_* I LOVE GOBSTOPPERS!!!!!!! My mother got me a WHOLE bag so it should last me till the chapter's finished. For the people who asked, there is no magic in this story. I just didn't feel like having Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol have magical powers. For the reviewer who asked for the Japanese translations, I'll just put them in [these things] or commonly known as brackets. ChetteTeng does the same thing. Just like I promised, here's chapter five as fast as I could type it! Arigato to everyone who reviewed!

Don't Be Scared: Chapter 5

By:

Cutie Blossom

Syaoran blinked. "A…date?"

Oikawa nodded. "Yes a date with her," he answered, pointed at Sakura.

Syaoran frowned and looked up at Sakura, who looked a bit scared. "Fine I'm in, but I'll warn you though, I will NOT lose this," Syaoran growled. "She's one of the most sweetest girl I've ever met. I will not tolerate her being hurt in any way."

"Touching," Oikawa said.

"I will not let you win," Syaoran said, glaring at him.

"I will win," Oikawa said. "We'll give you a doggy bag for the dinner we ate at the restaurant."

Sakura frowned. "In your dreams bozo-breath! You'll never beat Syaoran."-She turned to look at Syaoran-"Syaoran…"

Syaoran turned to look at Sakura. "Yes?"

Sakura smiled. "I won my bet with Sarah. Now it's your turn to win a bit for me."-She blushed-"Of course you could have just asked me for a date instead of winning one for me."

Syaoran blushed and smiled at the Cherry Blossom. "I'll keep that in mind."

Tomoyo giggled watching the two. 'I wish I brought my video camera.'

Meilin stood up and faced her cousin. "Kick some booty, Syaoran."

Molly stood up next to her. "Yeah, go kick some butt or we'll be kicking yours, Little Wolf!!"

Tomoyo stood next to Molly. "Kick some butt to win Sakura's love…oh wait! You already have it!"-She smacked herself on the forehead-"Stupid me!"

Sakura's face turned crimson, as did Syaoran's. "TOMOYO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Syaoran smiled. "Don't worry. Sakura, I will win this bet for you."

Sakura smiled. "I have complete confidence in you, Syaoran."

Oikawa's face burned in jealousy. 'You won't be think that for long, my sweet Cherry Blossom. I will prove my love to you by winning this game!'

The whistle blew for the two teams to prepare for battle. Syaoran and Oikawa were both center forwards.

Syaoran glared at Oikawa as Oikawa glared at him.

"You're going down, Syaoran."

"In your dreams, Oikawa."

Oikawa's team won the coin toss so they got the ball first. The whistle finally blew and Oikawa kicked the ball, passing it to the left of him. That guy passed the ball behind him to one of the mids. Syaoran never left Oikawa's side. He knew that it was too risky if he did. Eriol went after the mid who had the ball, but the guy kicked it forward to Oikawa before Eriol had the chance to steal the ball. Syaoran got the ball away from Oikawa and headed for the goal, followed closely by Oikawa.

'I can't let him get the ball,' Syaoran though. 'I can't let him win a date with MY Cherry Blossom.'

Finally within scoring distance, Syaoran, using his speedy kick, kicked the ball towards the goal and scored before the goalie had a chance to react.

'Wow!' Oikawa though. 'He's fast.'

Syaoran smiled and looked over at Sakura when he was running back to get in position. She was smiling and jumping up and down. He smiled and got back into position.

Oikawa kicked off once the whistle blew again. This time he passed the ball over to his right of him to a tall guy with jet-black hair, who was standing in front of Eriol. Usually Eriol looked like a pretty tall guy, but standing in front of this guy made him look like a shrimp. The guy started to use his height to his advantage and kicked the ball up in the air to where Eriol couldn't reach it. Syaoran tried to stay with Oikawa again, but saw that his friend needed his help. He started to sprint towards the two.

Eriol saw Syaoran running towards him. 'What is he up to?' he thought. 'He should stay with Oikawa.'

"Eriol!" Syaoran yelled. "Go guard Oikawa! I'll get the ball! Be prepared to have it passed to you!"

Eriol nodded his head and ran over to guard Oikawa, knowing Syaoran had some plan.

Syaoran watched the ball go up and down in the air, as the guy kick it. At the perfect moment, Syaoran jumped into the air high enough to kick the ball out of reach from the other player.

'I sure am happy that I did all of that training,' Syaoran thought as he kicked the ball to Eriol.

Eriol took off up the field but was tripped by Oikawa from behind. Sadly, the referee didn't blow her whistle to signal a violent action. Oikawa was still traveling towards their goal and scored. The other side of the stadium started to cheer as the Home team's side started to boo.

"OH! I hope he's he all right?!" Tomoyo sobbed, looking at Eriol. "I don't want my baby to be hurt! I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE!!!!!"

Sakura tried to calm her friend down. "Don't worry, Tomoyo. Eriol is a tough guy."

All of a sudden, Tomoyo's eyes filled with fire. "I'M GOING TO SEEK REVENGE ON THOSE REFEREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sakura sweatdropped. 'Note to self: NEVER hurt Eriol unless you want to be killed by his girlfriend.'

Syaoran ran over to his friend to help pick him up.

"Are you okay, Eriol?"

Eriol groaned. "Yeah, I'll live."

"You fell pretty hard," Syaoran said.

"I know. Why wasn't there a foul?" Eriol asked. "It was plain as day that he tripped me!"

Syaoran frowned and glared at a passing ref. "I don't know, but that was sure wrong."

Syaoran and Eriol ran to there spot and prepared for some total domination. (A.N.: I heard this a lot during the fall session of school: ARE YOU READY FOR TOTAL DOMINATION!!! It grew REALLY old after the first…three times we heard it.)

"That was unfair what you did, Oikawa," Syaoran growled. "But what you did will fire back at you."

Oikawa smirked. "Yeah right. I'll do anything for a date with your girl. I'll have some fun with her."

Syaoran's face turned beat red with anger. "Why you…" Syaoran didn't get the chance to finish. The whistle blew to restart the game. Syaoran passed the ball to Eriol, who was on his left. With teamwork and skill, the two got the ball far up the field and near the goal. Syaoran kicked the ball to Eriol and stayed back to keep on sides while Eriol scored the second goal of the game. Right after the ball went in, the whistle blew for halftime.

Syaoran and a couple of other players ran over to give a high five to Eriol as they all ran to the Home side of the stadium.

"ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT, EEEEEERRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tomoyo screamed causing the other girls to plug their ears.

"Tomoyo, pipe down!!!!" Sakura tried to yell over her.

Tomoyo realized what she did and sweatdropped. "Sorry."

All the girls sighed.

"Sakura!"

Sakura turned towards the field to see Syaoran.

"Syaoran! You're doing great!" Sakura said, smiling and blushing.

Oikawa watched from the other side of the field. 'I cannot believe he's flirting with her now!!! He's not going to be the winner!'

Syaoran felt his face heat up, but no one noticed since his face was already red from running.

"Arigato [Thank you]," he said. "Sakura…"

"Yo Syaoran! Get your butt over here!"

Syaoran groaned. "Talk to you after the game."

Sakura smiled again. "Okay!"

Syaoran ran back over to his teammates and not long after the game started again with Oikawa's team in position. Refreshed, Oikawa used his energy to take off up the field and meet the ball one of his teammates pasted to him. Unfortunately, Yamazaki, being the great defender that he is, stopped him from going any further. Yamazaki passed the ball up to another teammate that passed it up to Eriol. Eriol then passed the ball onto Syaoran.

"No you don't!" Oikawa yelled as he caught up to Syaoran.

Syaoran rolled his eyes. 'Him and Sarah would make a good couple. Either of them don't know when to shut up and admit defeat.'

Syaoran passed the ball over to another forward right before he was pushed to the ground. The guy continued up the field until he scored.

Eriol ran over to his best friend. "Are you okay?"

Syaoran nodded and he tried to stand up, but fell back down. "I think I twisted my ankle."

Eriol growled and looked for a ref. "This is the second time you've let that guy from the other team push a player down. This isn't right!"

The ref shrugged and looked down at Syaoran. "Are you okay?"

Syaoran looked over Sakura, who had worry written all over her face, and nodded. "I'll be fine. Just let me walk it off for a minute, okay?"

The ref nodded. "That's fine."

"Syaoran…"

"I'll be okay."

Eriol sighed. "Fine."

Syaoran stood up with the help of Eriol and walked around for a minute. The Home team crowd started to cheer seeing Syaoran on his feet. Syaoran saw Oikawa smiling over at him.

"That guy is an a…"

"Watch your language, Syaoran."

"Fine, that dork head is GOING to be repaid for what he's done," Syaoran said as he walked around without help. He was only limping a little.

Eriol nodded. "The best way to get him is by winning the bet and taking Sakura out on that date. You can do it!"

Syaoran nodded and looked over at his friend. "I'm going to need your help though."

Eriol's face curved into an evil smile. "I'll be happy to."

Syaoran grew an evil smile. "Lets have some fun."

The ref ran back over. "Are you ready to begin again?"

Both Syaoran and Eriol nodded and took their places on the field with once. Oikawa's team in position was already in position.

"Did you enjoy that trip, Syaoran?" Oikawa asked.

Syaoran smirked. "What goes around comes around, Oikawa. You'll learn about that."

"If you say so," Oikawa said.

The whistle blew and Oikawa kicked the ball over to the tall jet-black haired guy again. This time though, Eriol intercepted the ball before the guy had a chance.

"WAY TO GO EEEEERRRRRRIIIIOOOOOLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

The girls all sweatdropped.

"We really need to bring duck tape to the next game," Molly whispered to Meilin.

Meilin laughed and nodded her head. "Boy you can say that again."

Using the teamwork and skill they both had, Eriol and Syaoran made it up the field and towards the goal. Eriol kicked the ball over to Syaoran who scored the next goal for the team.

Oikawa's mouth dropped. "You're kidding. He has a twisted ankle and he still is fast?"

Not long after, the whistle blew to end the game. Sakura jumped into the air.

"HE WON!! HE WON!! HE WON!!" she screamed, causing all the girls to plug their ears.

"Sakura! Quiet down!!" Tomoyo yelled.

"And I'd be talking," Chiharu elbowed Tomoyo.

Tomoyo sweatdropped.

"We're going to need duck tape for her also," Meilin whispered to Molly.

"No kidding," Molly muttered.

Oikawa sank to his knees. 'That's not what was supposed to happen. I was supposed to win!!!'

Sakura ran down and jumped into Syaoran's arms, making him fall over onto the grass.

"Syaoran! I'm so happy of you!" she said, still hugging the Little Wolf. "You kicked some MAJOR bootie!"

Syaoran laughed and held her close. "You know I did it for you," he whispered into her ear.

Sakura blushed. "So…when's our date?"

Syaoran thought for a moment. "Are you free tomorrow?"

Sakura smiled. "What time?"

"All day?"

"HAAAAANNNYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !"

"Huh?"

Sakura sweatdropped. "Never mind."

Syaoran smiled. "So…are you?"

Sakura giggled. "Yep!"

"I'll pick you up around nine, okay?"

"I'll be waiting."

~*~

Sakura looked into the mirror. She was wearing a white dress with a light blue jean jacket over it and white sneakers.

'I hope I look alright,' she thought.

"Sakura!" she heard Touya yell. "Syaoran's here to pick you up!!"

Sakura looked into the mirror one last time before running down the stairs. She saw Syaoran talking to Touya. Syaoran was wearing a dark green short sleeve shirt along with dark blue jeans and tennis shoes.

"Now Syaoran," Touya began, "I want you to be nice to Kajiuu [Monster]." He was answered with a thump on the head from his "Kajiuu."

"KAJIUU JA NANI [I am not a Monster]!!!!"

'I knew she'd do that,' Touya thought, smiling. 'I love bugging my sister.'

Sakura smiled sweetly at Syaoran. "Ohayo [Good Morning], Syaoran."

Syaoran blushed. "O-ohayo, Sakura. You look great."

Sakura blushed. "Thanks. You look great also."

Touya rolled his eyes. 'This is all they do. One blushes and says a compliment…and not one second later, the other one blushes and says something back. I hope I don't act like this with my girlfriend.'

"Shall we go?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura nodded. "Yeah!"

Sakura grabbed her purse and hooked her arm around Syaoran's. Together, they walked out to Syaoran's car and got in.

"So where are we going to, Syaoran?" Sakura asked, excitedly.

"We have all day," Syaoran said as he started up the engine. "I thought I'd take you to breakfast first and then wing it from there. We have dinner reservations at six though."

Sakura smiled, excitedly. 'I have the whole day to spend with Syaoran! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!'

"That's fine with me," Sakura said.

Syaoran took Sakura to a lovely little restaurant. They ordered breakfast and talked, but both felt nervous and shy around the other.

Sakura looked down at her shaking hands and tried to calm them down. 'Arrgh! I shouldn't be so nervous around him! Sure he's the love of my life not to mention the cutest guy in all of Hong Kong, but it's just Syaoran.'

"Are you alright, Sakura?"

Sakura's head shot up to look at Syaoran. "I'm fine! Why do you ask?"

Syaoran frowned. "You seem a bit nervous."

Sakura giggled nervously. "No! I'm fine!"

Syaoran looked down at the table. "You shouldn't be nervous around me, Sakura. I'm not Sammie. I would never do what he did to you, okay? Never. I'm not that way."

Sakura gasped. "Syaoran, I know you are not a Sammie! Heck, I wasn't even thinking about him and the whole…um…incident! I'm fine really! I was just thinking about…things."

"Really?"

Sakura nodded her head. "Yep."

The two continued talking and the food arrived soon after. After they finished eating, the two took a walk through one of the parks in the town. Syaoran found himself wanting to grab Sakura's hand that was so close to his, but had to literally slap his hand a couple of times, getting worried looks from Sakura.

Not unusually, they where being watched.

"This is too Kawaii for words!!!"

Eriol smirked. "I can't believe that Syaoran wants to hold Sakura's hand, but has to slap himself to stop from doing it."

Tomoyo giggled. "I know! I think it's just plain funny! Ohohoho! This is going to be GREAT blackmail!!"

Eriol's face curved into an evil smile. "Tell me about it!"

"Are we going to follow them the whole day?" Tomoyo asked.

"If you want."

"Yeah!"

Back with Sakura and Syaoran, Sakura stared to get worried. Syaoran kept on slapping his hand every couple of minutes.

"Syaoran…is there anything the matter?"

Syaoran blushed. "No! Nothing!"

Sakura looked at him, unsurely. "Then why did you keep on slapping yourself like that?"

Syaoran sweatdropped. "Um…well…you see…"

Sakura grabbed his hand. "I'll keep you from slapping yourself."

Syaoran's face turned crimson.

Sakura heard a small, "Kawaii!" coming from behind them. She turned her head to look behind her and Syaoran, but no one was there. Confused, she turned around again.

Eriol took his hand off of Tomoyo's mouth. "You shouldn't have had said that. She almost found out that we are following them."

Tomoyo sweatdropped. "Sorry, but I couldn't hold it in! They are just so Kawaii together and when Sakura grabbed Syaoran's hand, his face turned bright red!!"

Eriol nodded. "Yeah I know."

Sakura leaned her head onto Syaoran's shoulder and giggled. "I'm really enjoying myself, Syaoran."

"We haven't done much though," Syaoran said.

Sakura smiled. "So? I'm just enjoying being here with you."

Syaoran blushed again. "I'm enjoying your company also."

Now it was her turn. Sakura's face turned bright red.

"Where are you going now, Syaoran?"

Syaoran shrugged. "Where ever you want to go, Cherry Blossom."

Sakura thought for a while. "Tomoyo told me that there's a carnival going on. Did you want to go?"

Syaoran nodded. "Sure. Lets go."

Sakura smiled and the two walked stared to walk back to Syaoran's car.

Once they arrived at the carnival, Syaoran saw Sakura's eyes twinkle. He couldn't help but not to laugh as they entered.

"What's so funny, Syaoran?" Sakura asked.

"You," Syaoran said.

Sakura slugged him in the arm lightly. "That's not very nice."

"You just look so cute," Syaoran said before he could stop himself.

Sakura blushed.

(A.N.: The next part has been done a million times, but I couldn't resist the urge to put it in.)

They went through the carnival, trying rides here and there. They went on a couple of roller coasters, the Yo-yo ride, and of course Syaoran won many prizes for his date, making her happy.

They continued on playing more games and going on more rides. Finally they reached the ride Syaoran was looking for: Caspie's House of Ghosts and Goblins.

"Come on, Sakura," Syaoran said. "Lets go on this ride."

Sakura's face paled. 'Ghosts. I HATE ghosts.'

Syaoran turned around to see Sakura's pale face. "What's the matter, Sakura?"

Sakura gulped. "I…um…nothing!"

Syaoran raised his eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

Sakura nodded her head. "Yeah. I-I'm fine."

Syaoran shrugged. "Okay then. Shall we go on the ride then?"

Sakura reluctantly nodded. "O-okay."

They stood in line and the closer they got, the harder Sakura's holder on Syaoran's arm. He didn't mind of course.

'She must be afraid of ghosts,' he thought. 'Well then that means…'

He didn't get the chance to finish his thought for they had reached the front of the line. They entered a room that would take them down to where the ride was. Sakura's hold was as tight as ever.

"Sakura, you don't have to be afraid," Syaoran said. "I'll protect you."

Sakura shook her head and let go of his arm. "I'm not afraid. I'm perfectly fine!"

"MUHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sakura screamed and jumped into Syaoran's arms. "ALL RIGHT!!!!!!!! I'm scared!!!!!!! Protect me Syaoran!!! Onegai [Please]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Syaoran tried to calm the young girl in his arms down. "Don't worry, Sakura. I won't let ANYONE hurt you. You should know that by now."

By his words, Sakura let go. 'He is right.'

They finally reached the bottom floor and got on the ride. The ride took them through a tunnel and a haunted house. Ghosts and skeletons popped out of nowhere. By the time the ride was finished, Sakura was sitting in Syaoran's lap and it seemed like no one would be able to peel her away from Syaoran.

'Yep!' Syaoran thought, happily. 'That ride did exactly what I wanted it to.'

"Sakura…the ride is over with. You can let go of me now."

Sakura's hold lessened. She looked up from where her face was pressed against Syaoran's chest only to see a hanging not so pretty skull that was hanging near by.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! !!!!!"

Sakura regained her tight hold around neck and began to shiver really hard.

Syaoran smiled as he picked Sakura up and carried her away from the ride. Once he carried her far enough, he began to calm the girl down.

"Sakura," Syaoran said, "we are out of the ride."

"Last time you said that, there was a skull right next to us!" she sobbed into Syaoran's chest.

"Sakura…we away from any scary stuff. Ghosts don't show during the day and especially not when the sun is out," Syaoran assured the shaking girl who was in his arms.

Finally, Sakura peeked up from Syaoran's chest to see Syaoran was right. They were out of the haunted scary place.

"Finally," she sighed, releasing herself from Syaoran.

"Sorry I took you in there," Syaoran said. "I didn't know you are scared of ghosts, Sakura."

Sakura smiled at him, still looking slightly pale. "That's alright. It's done and over with. Come on! Lets go look at more of the games!"

Syaoran smiled as he followed Sakura. 'Even though she was scared stiff, I really did love having her in my arms.'

They continued playing games and riding some not so scary rides. After getting off a ride, Sakura spotted a poster that advertised a play happening in the carnival.

"Sorcerers in Love," she read out loud. "Can we check this play out, Syaoran? It should start pretty soon. Can we?"

'Sorcerers in Love? …This is going to be interesting,'Syaoran thought.

He nodded. "Okay."

"Yeah!" Sakura said, excitedly as her and Syaoran started to walk to the place where the play would take place. Her and Syaoran found seats in the second row. They didn't have to wait long for the play to begin.

The play was just about a magical girl, who just found out about her powers as a sorceress, and a guy, who also had powers, came over from a distant city. The guy was supposed to take the girl's powers away, but failed. The two became friends and slowly became lovers. The two confessed their love for each other after a heated battle against a dark sorceress.

(A.N.: Sound sort of familiar to anyone?)

After the play was done, Sakura and Syaoran exited with the rest of the crowd. Once outside, Syaoran noticed that the sky turned dark and was filled with stars. The moon was also shining brightly. He looked down at his watch that read half an hour till six.

Sakura sighed happily. "That play was REALLY…KAWAII!!!!!"

"Sakura, it's almost time to go to dinner," Syaoran informed her.

"Okay," she said. "OH! Syaoran, look the Ferris Wheel is all light up! Can we go on that before we leave?"

Syaoran looked at the lighted wheel. "Okay. This is the last ride though."

Sakura nodded as they walked over to get in line.

'I hope we get to stop at the top,' Sakura thought. 'That would be so romantic.'

After a couple of minutes of standing in line, they finally reached the front and crawled in one of the seats.

Sakura giggled and scooted closer to Syaoran. She reached for his arm and put it around her. He blushed, but she didn't seem to notice.

"I've never had this much fun, Syaoran," Sakura said. "Thank you."

Syaoran smiled. "I'm glad."

Their seat stopped at the top of the wheel and they got a clear shot at the dark sky with the moon and the stars.

Sakura sighed. "This is so romantic."

Syaoran gulped. "R-really?"

Sakura closed her eyes to take in the moment giving Syaoran time to stare at her.

'Cherry Blossom, you do not need to be scared of anything,' he thought still staring at her. 'I will always be there for you, to protect you, to cheer you up, let you cry on my shoulder when something terrible has happened in your life. I promise to protect you even if…even if I have to stand watch as you go down the aisle to another man whom I hate, I will still protect you. So please, don't be scared, Cherry Blossom, for I will always be by your side.'

Sakura opened her eyes and turned to see Syaoran still staring at her.

'I know I shouldn't be staring at him,' she thought. 'But I can't help it. Oh, Syaoran. You may never know it, but my heart will always be with you.'

She leaned in and laid her head on his chest. She snuggled into him. "Never leave me, Syaoran."

Syaoran held her tight and kissed her on top of her head. "Never."

"Are you two going to come off the ride sometime tonight?"

Sakura and Syaoran jerked away from each other and saw that the ride was over. The guy who controlled the Ferris Wheel was not looking too happy at them.

Syaoran sweatdropped. "Of course we are."

Sakura and Syaoran climbed out of the ride. Once she took the last step off of the ride, Sakura felt like her and Syaoran were being watched. She turned her head slightly and saw that their spies were Tomoyo and Eriol.

Sakura groaned. 'Tomoyo would do this to me,' she thought. 'She's probably the one I heard this morning in the park!'

She turned to face Syaoran. "We have two spies," she whispered into his ear.

Syaoran groaned. "Let me guess. Does one of them have purple hair, glasses, and has a girlfriend, who is mostly likely with him, named Tomoyo?"

Sakura nodded her head. "Yep."

Syaoran smiled. "Shall we lose them?"

Sakura sighed and nodded her head. "They have probably been following us since we left my house this morning."

Syaoran sighed. "Probably."-He grabbed her hand, causing her to blush-"Come, my princess. Lets go and shake them off our tail."

Sakura giggled as Syaoran stared to drag her down a row of games.

Tomoyo gasped. "We're going to lose them, Eriol!"

Eriol grabbed her hand and dragged her in the direction Syaoran and Sakura went.

'They didn't see us did they?' he thought, while chasing after them. 'Nah! We were well hidden.'

Syaoran kept on dragging Sakura.

'Where to hide? Where to hide?' he thought.

"Here!" Syaoran said pointing to a building that held all of the fun mirrors in it.

Sakura sweatdropped. "Many people have gotten lost in there, Syaoran."

Syaoran's grip on Sakura's hand tightened. "Not if I hold onto you tight enough."

Sakura blushed as she was dragged into the maze of mirrors.

Eriol spotted them going into the house of mirrors.

"Eriol…I'm not sure if we should follow them," Tomoyo whispered. "Why don't we wait until they get out?"

Eriol smiled. "Brilliant idea, my dear Tomoyo," he said as they waited for them to exit the maze.

Sakura started to get worried. "I have a very bad feeling about this," she told Syaoran.

Syaoran pulled Sakura around to in front of him and wrapped his arms around her. "Nah…as long as we stay together, we'll be fine."

Sakura blushed as she heard his voice in her ear.

"Lets just feel our way through," Syaoran told her. "You shall be the leader."

Sakura stared to look around for a way out if the maze. Finally, with many bumps into mirrors, they found their way out of the maze with Syaoran's arms still around Sakura.

"Told you we'd be alright," Syaoran said in her ear.

Sakura nodded.

Tomoyo and Eriol watched Sakura and Syaoran exit the maze.

"Aw! Syaoran has his arms around Sakura!" she said to Eriol, videotaping it.

Eriol nodded.

Syaoran looked around and let go of Sakura.

"Looks like we lost them," he said.

Sakura nodded again. "Looks like it."

Syaoran looked down at his watch and gasped. It was six o'clock right on the dot. "Looks like we are going to be late for dinner."

Sakura shrugged. "As long as we come with a credit card, they'll let us in."

Syaoran smiled. "True. Very true in fact."-He grabbed her hand-"Shall we go to dinner?"

Sakura nodded. "Yeah!" she said as Syaoran started to lead her out of the carnival. She looked back to see Tomoyo and Eriol again. "Syaoran! We haven't lost our spies yet!"

Syaoran looked back to see his best friend and his girlfriend following them still.

'Eriol, you're in deep trouble when I see you at the dorm,'Syaoran thought as he started to run with Sakura, heading for the parking lot.

"Once we get to my car, they won't have a chance," he told Sakura.

Sakura nodded and continued to follow Syaoran as they finally reached the parking lot. They jumped into his car and took off.

Eriol and Tomoyo watched Syaoran's car drive out of sight. They both were silent as they tried to regain their breath.

"We'll never reach them now!" Tomoyo said. "I wasn't done video tapping!"

"Well my dear," Eriol said, still panting. "We can always finish the night with a date of our own."

Tomoyo smiled and kissed her boyfriend. "I'll leave the camera off."

(A.N.: JadeWing gave this next little idea to me. I kind of twisted it a bit, but there is still the best part in it, Jade. ^_^ Enjoy!)

Syaoran kept on driving with only one mission on his mind: to shake off his two friends. He wasn't even aware of where he was going whatsoever. He pulled into a nice little place and turned off the engine. He leaned back and closed his eyes.

"I think we lost them," he heard Sakura say.

"I sure hope so," he said to her.

Sakura looked out the window to see a cliff that overlooked the city lights. She could see the stars and the moon perfectly.

Sakura looked over at Syaoran. "Nice place you brought me here."

Syaoran opened his eyes and looked out the window.

'Oh great,' he thought. 'I wasn't even watching where I was driving and end up here.'

"Is there a name for this place?" Sakura asked.

Syaoran blushed and nodded. "It's called Lover's Cliff."

Sakura blushed. "Oh."

'I shouldn't have asked.'

Syaoran got out of the car. "Come on," he said to her. "The cliff has a beautiful view of the city."

Sakura got out of the car and sat with Syaoran on the front of the floor. She looked out at the breathtaking view of Hong Kong.

"You were right, Syaoran," Sakura said. "It is beautiful."

Syaoran nodded, trying to control his blush from getting out of hand.

Unnoticed by Syaoran, Sakura scooted closer to Syaoran.

She looked up at his face. 'I wish I knew what he was thinking.'

She took his hand and intertwined their fingers.

Syaoran squeezed her hand tightly, not wanting to let go. He looked down at her seeing that she was looking up at him.

'I love her eyes,' he thought to himself.

He leaned down, wanting to feel her lips against his. He saw Sakura leaning up towards him also.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The couple jerked away from each other again. They turned to see Oikawa standing near them with his mouth wide open.

"SYAORAN LI!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU!!!!!"

Syaoran frowned. 'What did I do?' he thought.

Oikawa continued. "After you said all that stuff about protecting her and here you are taking away her innocence!!"

Syaoran and Sakura's face turned a very dark crimson color.

"I would at least had the…"

*BAM!!!!!*

Syaoran winced. "That's going to leave a mark."

"Ouchie!!" Oikawa said before going unconscious.

Sakura stood above him holding a purse that she whacked the jock with.

'That's for ruining the moment,' she thought.

(A.N.: Ladies here's a helpful tip: If a guy is bugging you or just plain acting like a jerk, take your purse, if you have one, and whack him with it. BELIEVE ME!! It works. Just ask my friend. Yes, Jade, I'm talking about Baka Head. ^_^)

"SYAORAN WAS NOT DOING THAT YOU BAKA [Stupid]!!!! He was being a perfect gentlemen like normal," Sakura said.

Syaoran and Sakura left the cliff to take Sakura home.

'I can't believe Oikawa did that,' Sakura thought irritably. 'We were so close.'

Syaoran pulled up to the Kinomoto residence a couple minutes later. He walked Sakura up to the door not exactly sure what to say next.

"Sorry we didn't have a chance to go to dinner," Syaoran said to her.

Sakura smiled. "That's alright. The whole day was perfect without the dinner."

Syaoran blushed. "Maybe we can do this again sometime."

Sakura blushed also. "I would like that. Without the whole Oikawa incident and the whole getting away from Eriol and Tomoyo I hope."

Syaoran groaned. "Defiantly without all the little distractions. I don't think Eriol is going to like me tomorrow."

Sakura giggled. "Thank you, Syaoran. This was by far the best day I've had."

"I'm glad," Syaoran said.

Without warning, Sakura stood up on her tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss him on the lips. She pulled away and ran into the house, shutting the door behind her.

"Is everything alright, Kajiuu?" Touya asked from the kitchen.

Sakura sighed and nodded dreamily. "Everything's perfect."

Syaoran still stood outside, speechless. He walked to his car and started to drive back to the dorm. While driving back, Sakura's actions hit home inside Syaoran's mind.

"SHE KISSED ME!!!!!!!!"
