Summary: She always thought she had bad Karma. Why? Because the man that she loathes the most will probably be the man she spends the rest of her life with. How? Because he was her partner for everything in school. Now? Her roommate and work partner. Law makes things always seem so much frustrating.

Entry 4: Tomoyo Daidouji. Eriol Hiragizawa. Cupids Physics.
I tapped the end of my pen. The meeting in chambers always was boring, but I don't recall it being this boring.
I sighed inwardly under my breath, carefully not to be heard.
Really, can't we just do the pissing investigation and background checks and get on with the bloody case! Really, it's simple, go to court, present evidence and the jury makes the decision, if we lose bad on us but still, it is NOT rocket science.
And Li, well he might as well have been born as a woman! Or maybe he was… He could have had a sex change! Which would explain why he is such a pretty boy! Wait- that makes me gay. Right? Or not. HOE!
I'm not talking to him just for anybodies information. I mean, who on this planet, has a go at someone –mentally destroys them- leaves for a year, then comes back as if nothing happened. AND HE KISSED ME! MY FIRST FREAKING KISS! First I tell you. FIRST!
Maybe men can pms. Only they are longer and worse than a woman. But then again Eriol has yet to do that. Nor has my brother so perhaps not.
"Miss Kinomoto." I snapped out of my daze, to stare the honour himself. Ryuren Taboshi. The most famous judge in Asia, approaching the age of 65, his black robes clung to his lithe frame, long, silver hair was brought back into a low pony, as his dull silver eyes bored into me. I shivered involuntary.
"Yes, your honour."
"Well what is your opinion on the matter?" Oh shit. I felt a nudge in my knee. I looked out of my eye to see Li nodding his head just slightly.
"Well…"
"Oh yeah- I mean yes sorry. I totally agree." He seemed pleased with my answer and nodded contently.
"So it is agreed." He asked in a slightly happier tone than I liked. We murmured a small 'yes' before he dismissed us.
Okay, forget no talk. What the fuck just happened!?
"Li?"
"Yes."
"What was that about?"
"Just asking if we were willing to go to Japan for a month or so to do our background checks on." Shit.
"Saskia will be joining us too." double shit.
"We'll all have to share the same suite though." triple shit.
"Shit."
"Is there a problem?"
"Yes, actually Li there is."
"What would that be?"
"That I don't want to share a suite with a fake plastic thing, who thinks wearing micro-mini's off of the Richter scale is suitable and a man who pms's more than me!"
"It won't be that bad. And I thought I told you to call me Syaoran." I gave him a warning glance before stopping abruptly in front of him purposely having to make him stop.
I gave him a glare before placing my hands on my hips.
"Listen Li. I am going to pretend that yesterday never happened. You cannot do what you done and think that you can just comeback like nothing happened!"
"…"
"And if you think you can, well think again pretty boy because it is not going to happen. Plus which, I must remember to kick your rear soon for stealing my first kiss."
I stomped off leaving him in my trail. I turned around the corner ignoring his protests of telling me to 'get back here Sakura!'
Dialling the number on my phone, I placed it on my ear, allowing the ringing to echo in my ear.
'Hello?'
"Hey, Tomoyo."
'AI! Sakura! How are you, oh my god you haven't rang in weeks!' I pulled the phone away from my ear, wincing slightly at Tomoyo's rants. Once I heard her quieten down, I place the phone back to its original place.
"Yeah, Tomoyo about that…"
'What is it?'
"Li is back."
'…'
"Hello, Tomoyo are you there?"
'Get over to my place. NOW!' And then I was greeted by the dial tone.
Are you kidding me? She lives on the other side of Hong Kong! It's a good half hour drive. An hour on the tube.
Oh well, Tube here I come!
Never again. Never again I tell you! And if I do, stop me, please? Why, oh why kami-sama MUST you insist on making my life a living hell? That goes for you too cupid!
I'm starting to accept that perhaps my life is just supposed to be full of shit and well… more shit.
Not only did I miss the 1 o'clock train, I HAD TO WAIT THREE FUCKING HOURS! Three! Three, argh, I always knew three was an unlucky number for me.
So here I am, on a seat that is almost… gone and smells of a cross between child's poop and sick I couldn't be happier. Oh things are just perfect. NOT!
Note to self: Never take the tube or do anything Tomoyo Daidouji tells you to.
Heaving a sigh, I pulled the strap on my bag tighter on my shoulder. Great, what was I going to do? First, I cannot afford to turn this case down, since the rent is due –thanks to Li leaving, I can hardly afford it-, secondly I can't work with them doing god knows what! Thirdly, my own brother -for walking out of work in the middle of the day- might sack me.
Major kissing ass tonight for me!
After an hour on smelly tube –Like the nickname? - And trying to catch a cab, which I gave up on and just walked, I was now outside a pent house, 3 stories high, fit with swimming pools and galore. Why did my cousin get the good end of the stick?
Stepping forward to the err… large bell I rang it. Well what do you expect me to do Sherlock?
Two seconds later, which I find suspiciously quick, Tomoyo was there, I light pant present looking at me with desperate mixed with angry eyes.
"Hey Tomoyo, what did you-OW HEY, WHAT THE HELL?" Tomoyo, the nice lady like character, the one of elegance, the one whom supposedly can't harm a fly, just grabbed me by the arm and flung me in to the house- I meant condo, my mistake. I mean I literally think I took flight. Seriously. That girl is strong.
"WHENdidhegetback?WHYdidhecomeback?HOWdidhegetback?WHEREishestaying?WHATishedoingbackhere?" Say what? She said that without breathing, now that's skill but it can't but help make me…
"HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Tomoyo covered ear with her hands before removing them and heaving a large sigh, looking as if she was ready to 'pop' any moment.
"WHEN did he get back? WHY did he come back? HOW did he get back? WHERE is he staying? WHAT is he doing back here?" Okay, now that's better.
"He got back yesterday. He came back because this is his home, he went to Japan for a case, duh? He came back on a motorbike, really Tomoyo an aeroplane. He is staying at slut faces apartment; didn't I tell you last year? And once again because he LIVES here." I smiled at her innocently, cocking my head to the side, ignoring the glare she sent me due to my sarcastic comments.
Me? Sarcastic? Never.
"Sakura…" That sweet voice sounds kind of diabolical to me.
"HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU STAY CALM, MR. IM-SO-HOT-SAKURA-WANTS-TO-FUCK-ME WHO BROKE YOUR HEART, YOUR HEART IS BACK, AND YOUR… YOUR… LIKE THIS!"
Okay, definitely not Tomoyo's normal vocabulary. I stepped forward, lightly hitting Tomoyo's head.
"Okay, times out Mr.Alien –or is it Mrs? – Time for you to go back home so you can return my best friend and cousin back to me?" Tomoyo caught my hand sending me a look of disgust before pushing me back down on to the sofa.
"What has happened since he came back?"
"Ummm… I fainted when I saw him anddd…"
"And?"
I shut my eyes tightly, putting my hands over my face. Adding in a small voice I concluded my little secret.
"He took my first kiss."
"What?" In a louder voice I repeated my sentence.
"He took my first kiss." Preparing for the rant, I shut my eyes tightly to receive… nothing. Opening my eyes, I peeped slightly through my arms to find Tomoyo, face pale, unconscious on her floor.
Whoopsy.
"You shouldn't get so worked up about such trivial things Tomoyo." She took the glass of water from my hand as she sat up slightly from her sofa, adjusting to a more comfortable position.
"You call taking your first kiss, trivial?"
"Yeah."
"But-"
"Tomoyo I'm 25, too old not to have had her first kiss besides…"
"You liked it?" I looked at her and for the first time since I came here she has that evil smile of hers plastered on her face.
Turning my head abruptly to the other direction, trying to fight the heat that was creeping slowly up my face, I pushed thoughts of the kiss to the back of my head. He was a very good kisser- wait NO! Bad Sakura, bad thoughts, bad, bad, BAD!
"N-no!"
"Then why are you blushing?"
"I'm so not!"
"You so are."
"NOT!"
"Are."
"Not!"
"You are and don't try to deny it Sakura, this is me you are talking to." True. But I'm not going down without a fight.
"Not." She rolled her eyes at my childishness before a certain spark came to her eyes.
Now for some background information here. This spark is not a good spark. In fact like Kami-sama and Cupid, this spark always made my life a living embarrassment- okay maybe I'm exaggerating but this spark always got me more attention from the male population than I would like. Especially Syaoran.
Snapping her fingers she jumped from the sofa shouting a very high-pitched squeal. This is why I never had to clear my ears from wax.
"I have the perfect plan."
"Uh-huh, and what does this perfect plan entail?"
"Nothing you need to know about. Yet."
"Yet?" I squeaked, a horrified look passing through my features.
"Eriol, we have a code red 01!"
"Oh my lavender princess, I just love match making." What the fuck? Where did he come from? Those smiles, identical to Tomoyo's spark in her eyes. They were meant to be. Oh and what was that I heard? Matchmaking.
Quadruple shit.
