"Tomoyo, I do not want to go out" Sakura said angrily at Tomoyo.

"But you promised Sakura!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

"Yes, but you tricked me!" Sakura defended.

They were outside of a studio that Sakura was supposed to be practicing dancing.

Tomoyo had just told Sakura that she was joining a dancing competition but left out the part of the money. And let's just say she didn't take it too well.

~Flashback~

"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo waved.

"Yes Tomoyo?" Sakura said, coming over.

"I've got news for you" she gushed.

"What is it?"

She motioned for Sakura to come closer.

"You're joining a competition"

"What kind of competition?" she asked, not knowing Tomoyo's evil scheme.

"You have to promise to join it first"

Sakura groaned "Fine"

Sakura just obeyed until her ear can hear Tomoyo whisper.

"A dancing cooperation with a professional dancer competition" Tomoyo whispered, bracing herself for Sakura's scream.

"NANI?" Sakura shouted.

Tomoyo giggled and nodded.

"Demo, Tomoyo…" She whined.

"No buts! You're joining it, you promised!" Tomoyo put in.

"Yes, but…"

Tomoyo cut her off.

"Good then! I'll pick you up on Sunday at 9 okay? See ya later, Sakura chan!"

~End of flashback~

Tomoyo sweat dropped "Hehehe…I had to…"

Sakura glared at her "You had to?"

Tomoyo looked away "Well…"

"I thought so!"

"But Sakura, you just have to go!" Tomoyo begged.

"Not a chance!"

"Please…for me?"

"You tricked me into this, why should I help you?"

"Because I'm your best friend" She pleaded with sparkly eyes and a sweet, innocent smile.

"I…I'm weak to this" Sakura sighed "Fine, I'll go in"

Tomoyo jumped out of the car and became all jumpy.

"What are you waiting for Sakura? Let's go, let's go, LET'S GO!"

"Just stop jumping" Sakura said coming out of the car "I don't want to be seen with a crazy person beside me"

Tomoyo stopped jumping immediately.

"That hurts Sakura, that hurts" Tomoyo said looking sad, putting her hand over her heart.

"I won't believe that" Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Let's just go in!" Tomoyo urged.

"We're early" Sakura said boringly.

"No, on my watch, we're late! So let's go!" She pushed Sakura in.

~In the studio~

(Sakura's POV)

"Hello, are you in the competition?" A man with blue hair and eyes asked us.

"Hello Hiiragizawa-san" Tomoyo greeted.

Tomoyo knows him?

"Ah, Daidouji-san. It's good to see you again" the man greeted back.

"Yes. It is"

"And who is this?" he asked, turning to me.

"This is my friend I told you about" Tomoyo said, smiling.

She said something about me?

"The one you signed up secretly?" he asked, raising a brow.

Oh, so that's the connection?

"Too true" I said, glaring at Tomoyo.

Tomoyo could only smile dumbly.

"My cousin is joining to you know" the blue-haired man told us.

"He's a dancer. A good one too. But I kinda tricked him into this competition as well" the man said sheepishly.

I smirked.

"I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa" The man introduced, taking out his hand up to shake my hand.

"Sakura Kinomoto" I replied, shaking his hand.

"So anyway, back to business" Eriol said rubbing his hands together

"I have the list of the partners right here. After you find who your partner is and in which room, you have to directly go there to practice. You and your partner must practice a type of dance given by the judges and perform on this Saturday night which is 6 days from now"

"And the dance is being taught by whom?" I asked.

Eriol laughed "By your partner of course!"

"My partner?" I asked again still not getting it.

"I mean, if the type of dancing you got is Salsa, you and your partner must create a Salsa dance and perform it" Eriol explained patiently.

I nodded "Oh, now I get it"

"Now, let's see who you're pared up to Kinomoto-san"

Eriol shifted through the papers and pulled one out.

"Okay, here we are" Eriol said, scanning the paper.

"Name: Sakura Kinomoto

Age: 17 years old

Job: Model for Sweet Girls (A/N: I just made it up)

School: Tamoeda High School

Parents: Fujitaka and Nadeshiko Kinomoto

Siblings: Older brother Touya Kinomoto married to Mizuki Kaho

Phone number: 0819493725

Am I correct?" Eriol asked when he finished.

I nodded "The only wrong one is the phone number. That's Tomoyo's, not mine. But just call her. She's more excited at this than me"

Eriol nodded and gave me a paper.

"Here is your partner's data. He's already in the dancing room. He's in room number 14 on the second floor"

"Thanks Eriol" I thanked.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Tomoyo asked, coming forward.

I sighed and shook my head "I guess I'll have to go myself since I have no other choice"

Tomoyo smiled and nodded, understanding.

I left the two and walked up the stairs. I was reading the data of my partner while going up. Interesting information. "Syaoran Li eh? 19 years old, son of Yelan Li, four sisters. Ouch."

(A/N: You did know that I was going to pair them up right?)

I came to the second landing in a while.

14, 14, 14, where is room 14?

9…10…11…12…13…14! Why is the room so hard to find? (A/N: So it's basically 7 rooms on each floor and there are around 4 floors)

I knocked on the door and went in. There was a man sitting on the floor there. He had messy chestnut brown hair and amber eyes. He had a built body and he was tall. Not like giraffe tall, but perfect height tall. He looked young but he had a serious expression on his face, like he didn't want to be there. Just like how she felt.

"Excuse me," I said, that caught the man's attention.

"I'm sorry, but are you Syaoran Li?" I asked coming closer.

(Syaoran's POV)

That's it. I'm going to kill him. Hiiragizawa just pray that you have made a will when I'm finished with you.

Here I am, in the room I'm supposed to be practicing with my partner which isn't even here yet!

What good is it if you have talent but a slow partner?

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me," someone said.

I looked up and saw a girl with long auburn hair and emerald eyes came in. She had the lean arms and legs. Perfect for a dancer. But most importantly, she was beautiful.

"I'm sorry, but are you Syaoran Li?" she asked, coming closer.

I twitched "Yes"

"So that means you're my partner…?" she asked, unsure for herself.

"How should I know?"

I could see her frown.

"My name is Sakura Kinomoto and it says that my partner is named Syaoran Li and you said that your name is Syaoran Li which means that you're my partner" she said, annoyed.

"So what do you think?" I asked, bored that she's so slow.

"Um…Yes?"

"Are you that slow?"

"Listen here Mister!" she stormed right up to me.

I was surprised at her temper on the inside but I remained still on the outside.

"You may think that it's easy as a dancer but I'm just a high school model that was tricked into this, okay? I just considered that this will be a nice and fun competition, but NO! You just had to make me reconsider this, did you? Do you even want to join this competition, huh?" she screamed at me.

My sharp amber eyes pierced straight into her innocent emerald orbs.

"No, I don't" I asked in a deathly voice.

"Don't what?" she asked, taking a step back.

"I do not want to join this stupid competition!" I shouted at her.

She looked taken aback but her bravery came back to her.

She narrowed her eyes and smirked "Since you don't want to join this competition and neither do I, can we please just run away?"

I turned away and sat down on a chair beside my duffel bag with all my things and crossed my arms "No, we can't"

"Why?"

"Because we both signed the data forms"

"The what?"

I sighed "D-A-T-A, data. F-O-R-M-S, forms"

"I know what data forms are!"

"Then what were you asking?" I asked coldly.

"I didn't sign the data forms!"

"That wasn't a question"

"UGH!"

I was waiting for her next move when she took a long, deep breath and shrieked at the top of her lungs. I was glad that the room was soundproof because her shriek was awfully high and loud! I would have gone deaf if I hadn't plugged my ears.

"And that was for?" I asked.

She glared at me while taking deep breaths "Since we can't run from this competition and neither you or me want to join, I guess we have to make something out of it"

I shrugged "But we have to win, I want the prize you now"

"What's the prize?" she asked curiously.

"50 million dollars and a golden award that will let him or her enroll in any professional dancing school"

"How MANY?" she demanded.

"Of course only one award for each of us. How much did you think? Ten?"

"Ugh!" she stomped the floor with her foot "I meant the prize money!"

"Why didn't you say so?" I snorted.

"Just answer the question!"

"50 million dollars or are you deaf?"

"I can hear that very clearly thank you very much Li" she hissed.

"Good. Now can we start practicing?" I asked, opening my bag.

"Fine. What's the type of dance we have to perform?" she asked, sitting beside me.

"It's Cha-cha this week" I said taking out some CDs.

"And have you made the dance?" she asked, looking at the CDs.

"Halfway" I answered shortly.

She sighed.

"We'll just start practicing the first half. I'll think of the other half at home and we'll practice it next time. You fine with that?" I asked gruffly.

"Whatever you want Li" she answered, standing up.

She headed towards the door, but I stopped her.

"Where are you going then?"

"To change. I never want to practice dancing with you while wearing a skirt"

And she walked out without another glance.

I can't believe I got partnered with her of all people! I will never make it to the end of the week!

"Perfect life" I mumbled and I started working on my other half of the dance.
