CHAPTER FOUR

Coffee House, 4pm

"So, you're not a Japanese then, Meiling-chan?" Sakura asked. She was relieved that Meiling was an easy-going person.

"Yea, I'm from Hong Kong. I came here to Japan 'cos it's part of my job. But I think it's a long-term stay, since I've been here for more than 2 years." Meiling explained. "You guys stay here, at Yokohama? I only reached here today."

"Actually, no. Our hometown is Tomoeda, which is quite near to Tokyo… We're here for a concert." Tomoyo said.

"Don't tell me… It's Fire&Ice's concert?" Meiling queried. 'This is interesting…' she thought.

"Yep! Eriol is hot! Sakura-chan has a really huge crush on Li!" Tomoyo chirped. "And I seriously think that he winked at me just now – twice!"

"Tomoyo-chan! For god's sake, I don't have a HUGE crush on Li, AND Eriol did not wink at you, not even once!" Sakura defended herself. Her face was currently as red as a tomato.

"I see… Well, Syaoran is cute… But he's always so serious." Meiling said absentmindedly.

"You sound as if you know him… Is he related to you or something? You even have the same surname!" Sakura asked, taking a sip of cappuccino from her cup.

'Oh no… Should I tell them? I only just met them… But they seem pretty nice. Oh well…' Meiling thought. "Actually…" She started. Sakura and Tomoyo placed their cups on the saucers and waited for Meiling to continue. "We're cousins." Meiling finished.

She could see from Sakura and Tomoyo's facial expressions that they did not expect that to come. For one, their mouths were opened so wide that Meiling could fit her fists in without any difficulties.

"C-cousins!? Cousins with THE Syaoran Li?" Sakura asked, and Meiling nodded. "Oh my… God. W-well, do you mind describing a little about him? I mean, yes, there are magazine interviews and all, but, they're just very limited, you know? B-but if it's too troublesome, you can just forget I asked." Sakura was still pretty shocked from the information.

"Oh, sure! It's no problem. But I trust that you guys won't go around telling other people what I told you? 'Cos if you do, I might get sacked. Haha." Meiling joked.

"WE PROMISE!" Both Sakura and Tomoyo replied.

"And a little info on Eriol too, pretty please?" Tomoyo added.

"OK! Here goes…"

-----

"Aa-cchooo!!!" Syaoran sneezed. "Aa-choo! Aa-choo! Aaa-cchooo!"

"Whoa, are you okay, dude?" Eriol asked. "4 times in a row!"

"Someone must be talking bad about me. And if it ain't you, it must be Meiling!" Syaoran cursed. He has always been superstitious.

Eriol laughed and nodded. "It must be. She enjoys talking behind your back. It sometimes makes me wonder how you two became cousins."

Syaoran grunted. But deep down inside, he was actually quite thankful that Meiling was his cousin. When he had decided to join Wei Entertainment, Meiling was the only one in his family that supported him, and to prove her support, she left home too, and followed him to wherever he went.

"Sirs, we're here." The chauffeur announced as they reached the entrance of Royal Hotel. Stepping out of the vehicle, they thanked the chauffeur and proceeded up to their rooms.

"I'm gonna take a bath first. We'll go down for dinner after that." Syaoran said, going into his room.

Eriol went into his own room, took off his shirt and taking his bathrobe from the cardboard, he stepped into the bathroom.

(A/N: Am I focusing too much on the leads? If I am, please state in your reviews and I'll make some changes in the next Chapter eh?)

7pm

Meiling was walking back to the hotel with Sakura and Tomoyo. She had found out during their little chat at the coffee house that they were actually staying at the same hotel, and Meiling had told them that both Syaoran and Eriol are in that hotel too. This got them really ecstatic.

"Your room number, Meiling-chan?" Tomoyo asked when they were in the lift.

"Mine is 489. What about you guys?"

"462. We're sharing one room. Well then, we'll see you tomorrow morning for breakfast! And say hi to the boys for us, will you?" Tomoyo said as the lift's door opened on the 46th floor.

Meiling nodded and waved goodbye to them, and waited for the lift to stop at her own floor. "They're so nice, aren't they?" She asked the lift-lady, who simply nodded and gave a small smile. 48th floor - the lift door opened to reveal to handsome young men waiting for it. "Syaoran! Eriol!"

"Hey Meiling. Where've you been? We haven't seen you anywhere after the concert." Eriol asked.

"I met new friends! They're really nice people, and really pretty too!" Meiling explained. "And they're your fans!"

"Really? Did you say pretty? What're their names?" Eriol and Syaoran stepped into the lift and Meiling went down with them.

"Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji. You know the D-Designs Enterprise? Tomoyo's the main designer for the company!" Meiling chirped. She was really happy to have befriended Sakura and Tomoyo. "And mind you, she's only 17!"

"Well, next time you guys meet up, allow me to tag along." Eriol said. He was interested to find out more about this Daidouji girl.

"We're meeting up tomorrow morning for breakfast at the restaurant on level two. You may come along if you want." Meiling offered.

"Great. I'll be there! They're staying at this hotel too?" Eriol asked.

Nodding, Meiling turned her attention towards Syaoran. "You?"

"I'm fine with anything." Syaoran replied.

"Good!" Meiling chirped. 'Tomoyo-chan and Sakura-chan will be so happy!' she thought.

-----

"Wourdn't it be nishe ih we mec Ri an' Eriol?" (Wouldn't it be nice if we met Li and Eriol?) She swallowed. "I mean, we're in the same hotel…" Tomoyo was saying. She was currently eating cup noodles, with her back against the foot of the king-sized bed, and watching a random variety show.

Sakura, on the other hand, was still preparing her cup noodles, filling it with boiling hot water. "It'll make us look despo if we go around looking for them… Might as well be good fangirls." She said.

"True… But now that we know Meiling-chan-" Tomoyo was saying, but Sakura cut her off.

"No! We can't. We're not going to USE Meiling-chan, okay?" she cried out.

"Okay, okay! Relax. I'm sorry for even thinking about it." Tomoyo apologized. "Anyway, any plans for tomorrow?"

"We'll see if Meiling-chan's free after breakfast… Maybe we can do some shopping?" Sakura suggested.

"Actually, I was thinking of going to Yamashita Park. There's a Doll Museum there!" Tomoyo chirped. She loves dolls. Be it Artist Dolls, Variation Dolls, Collection Dolls, or whatever dolls, as long as it's a doll, Tomoyo will go all cheery.

"Sure. Sounds interesting anyways." Sakura agreed. They continued to talk for quite some time until it was time for them to go to bed.

Tuesday, 9.03am

Tomoyo was wearing a black sleeveless MiuMiu top with a very low neckline, and a cream-colored knee-length skirt. She had a little make-up on, and her hair was plaited, with two strands of fringe let loose. On her hand was her self-designed knee-length coat and a black Jimmy Choo clutch.

Sakura had her hair pulled back into a messy-but-elegant bun, and it allowed her fringe to loosely fall around her face, in a neat way, of course. She had worn a green knee-length spaghetti-striped floral print day-dress. She, too, had a coat on her hands, except it was cream-colored instead of black, and it's longer then Tomoyo's. She carried a white VBH clutch.

Both of them were chatting animatedly as they waited for Meiling at the restaurant, who was a bit late. 2 minutes later, she arrived.

"Good morning Sakura-chan, Tomoyo-chan. I'm sorry for being late. Was waiting for them to get ready." Meiling announced her arrival. She was wearing a red knitted top and jeans.

Sakura and Tomoyo were about to ask who were the "them", when two strikingly handsome guys – one who looked extremely grumpy, and one who looked too cheery for his own good – walked over, both had their hands in their pockets.

"Let me introduce – This is Tomoyo Daidouji," Tomoyo gave a little nod, "and this is Sakura Kinomoto." Meiling introduced.

"E-er… H-hello?" Sakura squeaked. Both she and Tomoyo had a huge blush on their faces, and while Tomoyo's eyes couldn't leave Eriol, Sakura just stared at her legs.

"Nice to meet you, ladies." Eriol spoke up.

Syaoran thought all these introductions were a waste of time, thus he pulled out a chair, took his seat and started looking over the menu.

"Right, some very rude guy's getting impatient." Meiling stated, and Syaoran glared at her.

Throughout the whole breakfast, Sakura only managed a few squeaks of "Yes"s and "No"s while questions were thrown at her. Meiling, Tomoyo and Eriol chatted as if they knew each other long ago, and Syaoran kept silent throughout, but not forgetting shooting death glares towards Eriol and Meiling whenever they made fun of him. Well, not that he didn't notice the very shy Sakura sitting right across him.

Sakura's POV

How can this be happening? I don't believe this! SYAORAN LI is sitting right in front of me! He looked so good when he walked in just now… But what's with his face? He doesn't seem like a morning person… Is he always this grumpy?

It's been almost an hour, and he hasn't spoke a word! I want to hear his voice…

Why can't I bring myself to look at him?

Syaoran's POV

She's so quiet. Is she always like that? If she is, then she must be quite boring a person. How can Dai-whatever-san put up with her?

Wait! She just looked up! Her eyes are… green? I must have seen wrongly… Could it be contact lens? It must be…

Normal POV

"Are you wearing green contacts?" Syaoran suddenly asked. All of them immediately stopped their conversation and looked weirdly at him.

Sakura jerked her head up. "M-me?" She squeaked. 'OH MY GOD! He talked to me!' She thought.

Syaoran nodded and said, "Who else here has green eyes?"

"O-oh… Erm… N-no." Sakura replied shyly, looking down again.

"No? So your eyes are green? Or should I say, emerald?" Syaoran asked again, looking at her incredulously.

"Yes…" Sakura confirmed.

Syaoran nodded his head. Scratching the back of his head, he asked, "And your name might be? I'm sorry, I wasn't listening just now."

Sakura looked up, straight into his eyes. Taking in a deep breadth, she smiled and replied, "Sakura Kinomoto. Nice to meet you, Li-san."
