Before you begin to read, I hope you can understand that when I wrote this, the US version of "Cardcaptors" wasn't out. Therefore this fiction is based on their Japanese names. Here are some names that you should be familiar with:
Sakura's name remains the same.
Li's name is Syaoran.
Tori's name is Touya.
Julian's name is Yukito.
Madison's name is Tomoyo.
Kero's stays the same.

That's all you need to know, please enjoy.

Touya Kinomoto was inside the kitchen of the Kinomoto house, cooking hamburgers for dinner. He was wearing an unusually girlish apron decorated with a little bunny holding a flower with his high school uniform underneath. He flipped the burgers, and turned off the stove. As he walked over to the dinner table to put the hamburgers onto the plates, he heard the phone ring. Putting down his cooking tools, and wiping his hands as he walked, he picked up the phone in the hallway. "Hello, Kinomoto residents." He said with a low voice.

For a moment, there was nothing but silence on the other end. He repeated. "Hello?"

With slight hesitation, the person on the other end finally spoke. "Um...can I speak to Sakura Kinomoto?"

I recognize that voice. The thought popped out in Touya's head along with a few veins. "You little brat, what are you calling my sister for?"

With no doubts, it was Syaoran who was on the other end. He sounded like he was rushing, and wanted to get off the line right at this moment. Putting up with Touya Kinomoto was the last thing he wanted to do. "Look, I don't have time to argue. Just let me talk to her."

"Not until you say 'oh pretty please you high and mighty Touya'." Touya said with a flat face.

Syaoran said the words, but not exactly what he commended. " 'Oh pity, please you dead and filthy Touya.' "

For a minute, they were just playing the tension game of silence. Finally, Touya gave in. "I'll settle for a 'please' and 'thank you'."

"Fine." Syaoran said. "Please. Thank you." He forced it out. No one can make the two simple phrases soundless enthuse than he did.

Touya sighed hard. He didn't enjoy doing this. "Yo, monster! There's a phone call for you."

Sakura skipped downstairs. "Thanks, Big-Bro." She took the phone from him. "Hello?"

"Hi, Sakura."

"Hey! Syaoran! Is that you?" She couldn't believe it; the last time he called her was...never. "What's up?"

"Oh...nothing really...just checking."

"Hmm? Checking what?"

"Oh...nothing."

Sakura giggled. "Are you sure? You didn't sound like there's nothing."

"Um...well, if you really want to know..."

"Hm...?" Sakura smiled, she curled the phone line with her finger.

"No...it's really nothing..."

"Oh, come on, Syaoran! Do you think I'll really believe that you called for nothing? You never call me, it's not like you to just call and chat."

"Maybe you're right..."

"So...?"

"Um...I..."

"...?"

"Never mind...I'll tell you the next day in school...see you tomorrow."

Sakura was kind of disappointed. "Okay then...but...tomorrow is Sunday."

"Huh? Oh, um...then...see you Monday."

Sakura giggled again. "Okay...bye."

"Bye."

Sakura still had the phone to her ears, waiting for him to hang up before she would. For some reason this phone call felt precious to her, and she wanted to enjoy every last second of it. The other reason was that deep inside she was hoping that Syaoran would not hang up, and say...something, anything. Anything will do...

Maybe it was her wish; whatever it was Syaoran didn't hang up. "Hello?" He said quietly.

That caught Sakura unguarded. "Hoe? Oh, hi!" She almost jumped.

"Are you...still there?"

Sakura smiled, and blushed a little. "Uh-huh." She nodded, even though she knew that he couldn't see her nod.

Syaoran made a laughing noise; it was like music to her ears, she blushed again. "I guess...I'll tell you now then." He said.

"Okay." She said. "What are you going to tell me?"

There was a moment of silence. Then Syaoran finally said it. "...Will you...I mean...like...can you go on a date with me?"

Sakura blushed harder. "A...date?"

"Um..." She couldn't see it, but Syaoran was blushing hard. "You don't have to, you know, I'm just asking! I mean, if you don't want to, that's fine. If you do what to, then that's perfecto! I mean that's wonderful! Not that...I'm pressuring you to date with me, but..." By now he was talking to himself.

Sakura took a deep breath, and interrupted his self-talk. "I'll do it!"

Syaoran couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You mean...you'll do it? You...you'll go?"

Sakura blushed a little, and nodded again. "Uh-huh."

Syaoran grinned. "Great! I mean...thanks! I-I mean..."

"It's okay..." Sakura giggled again, "I get what you mean..."

Syaoran was suddenly calmed. He showed a passionate smile. With a slight blush, he answered. "Okay, then."

"When and where shall we meet?"

"Oh, um, how about the park? Um, is ten good for you? Tomorrow, I mean..."

"Ten tomorrow is fine."

"Great...perfect..."

"Yeah...and this time you can truly say 'see you tomorrow'."

"Um...yeah, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you." Sakura finished. This time, she didn't wait, and hung up. She sighed hard. Her heart was still beating fast. <I still can't believe Syaoran asked me out...> Her mind was filled with excitement. She couldn't wait till tomorrow.

On the other end, Syaoran hung up at the same time. He looked at the phone, smiled confidently, and held the phone high up in the air. "Yes!" he cheered.

To be continued...

Wow! My first chapter! I'm so proud of myself!!! ^x^;

This took longer than I thought ( especially with MY typing skill )But I'll try to put up the next chapter up as soon as possible, ok? ^x^

For Sakura+Syaoran fans, hehe, more things are gonna happen between them! ^0^ Ohohohohoho.....

I didn't bother to put up things like "kun" at the end of names, one because I'm not Japanese (hey, I'm trying to learn!!) , two, I don't know how to use them.

Then, see you at the next chapter!!!
