Tomoyo's POV

Before Syaoran arrived, we all just sat there, dumb. At least Sakura and I were silent; as for Eriol, he kept on a rather one sided conversation with her.

He talked and talked, while Sakura lay there, on her chair, as though she was about to die. I slipped my hand over to hers and gripped it tight.

Hinata just kept sipping her ice lemon tea and attempted to be polite to Eriol by nodding and making some noise at the right places. She looked so…composed and sophisticated. Something neither Sakura nor I can pull off.

As they "talked", I took out my mobile and began to make an emergency sms. I know I was going to ruin the mood later, but I just couldn't stand to see Sakura like this. Then, I quietly slipped it back into my pocket and just silently glared at Eriol.

Did that guy have to keep talking and flirting with her? We know she's hot, but you don't have to betray us by flirting with her. Argh, now he was staring straight into her awesome chest.

I wish I could smack that guy!

Eriol started to get a bit uncomfortable, for some unknown reason, and his 'small talk' ceased a bit.

Then when he got up, Syaoran suddenly turns up and places a hand on his shoulder, and even before he says a word, I feel Sakura's grip on my hand tighten and her back straighten.

Because I'm sitting down, I can see that he is so friggin hot from this angle. He seemed to be actually glowing, though he was simply blocking the sunlight. To Sakura, he must be like some sort of Prince Charming on his horse.

"Sorry I'm late, Hinata. Oh hi Sakura and Tomoyo, I had no idea you would be coming. Was it my good friendhere who invited you two?"

Both of us nodded simultaneously. We still haven't fully recovered from the initial shock, so we made no greeting.

Syaoran realized there were no more chairs at our table, so he went to a neighboring table and asked for a chair. Rudely. Now, even I could see that he seemed a little pissed about something.

I raised my eyebrow at Eriol, the guy who understood Syaoran best, wanting an explanation. He shook his head slightly, and averted my gaze.

So, it was something that Eriol himself caused huh. No wonder.

Syaoran returned and slammed down his chair on the ground, and sat on it. He glared at us, daring us to say something. At least he had shut Eriol's mouth up.

We all knew each other very well, having been friends for a few years, so when Eriol actually stopped blabbering, it meant that no one else would speak for a while. So we looked at Hinata, because one, she would have to be the one to start talking and two, seeing what she thinks of her fiancé, who was currently glaring at everyone.

I watched her face carefully. There was almost no change in her I'm-too-good-for-this and lets-get-this-over-with face, even when Syaoran first appeared, but now there was a flicker of interest in her eyes as she surveyed the scene.

"Lo…look. I don't want you to be…be my fiancé as much as you…you don't want me to be your fiancée…"she said.

So she stammered. That was surprising. It kinda ruined the I-don't-want-to-be-here feeling she was radiating.

And the more important thing was, she really didn't like Syaoran! This was good!

She continued speaking as both Sakura and I digested the information and nodded at the same time.

We both jolted out of our thoughts when Syaoran said, "yeah, I don't understand it too. Can you just go back and tell him you hate me and will never marry me?"

Yes! He didn't like her too! Sakura let go of my hand and I saw the edge of her mouth tilt upwards.

Now, when was Naruto going to arrive?

Sakura's POV

Syaoran arrived, like he was some sort of Angel from the Lord himself. He actually glowed, since I was sitting and the sun was shining down at him.

I was very relieved. We were basically all here just to find out about them anyway. And if he wasn't here, we would have to continue doing the trying-not-to-stare-at-you thing.

Syaoran grabbed a chair from a nearby table, and seemed surprisingly pissed. I mean he was here to see her for the first time, and yet he didn't seem shocked or nervous when he saw her. She was hot enough to get any guy's attention.

And obviously, Eriol had noticed as well. Which was why Tomoyo was rather jealous.

Oh well, at least Hinata could tell us what was going on now.

We listened with utmost interest, almost as if she was a preacher. She stammered a bit, but it was like she had some sort of magnetic voice.

When everyone realized she didn't like Syaoran, the atmosphere became lighter.

And when Syaoran said, ""yeah, I don't understand it too. Can you just go back and tell him you hate me and will never marry me?", I felt like hyperventilating. He didn't like her either!

I let go of Tomoyo's hand. I felt bad for her, because I was sweating like shit, and my palms was all sticky and…yeah. Besides, I felt better already.

Then she said, "I know you already like someone here. Sorry to tell you this, but it's very obvious. If you tell my fa…father that you have done it with he…her, there is a good chance that he'll call off this marriage im…immediately."

Huh? I don't understand what she means. Yes, I'm very slow. But Syaoran immediately reacted to idea by yelling, "You want me to tell him…what?!"

Oh my gawd.

So now, her plan for not marrying Syaoran was for me to lose my virginity?! I'm sixteen! I'm not even allowed to have a boyfriend yet, let alone do that with someone!

Even if I love him…

If my dad ever found out, without knowing what Hinata had said, I would be strangled to death. But Touya would probably skin Syaoran alive after a thoroughly questioning me on who the guy was. God, I never could lie well.

I wonder what Syaoran thinks? Wait its kinda obvious. He is friggin shocked and what? Embarrassed to even think about doing that with me?

Yeah, I feel a bit insulted.

No, screw that. I feel damn insulted.

I need to get out and clear my thoughts. Then I'll talk to him.

--

Hinata's POV

Hmm. The lunch turned out way more entertaining than I had first expected.

Partly due to Syaoran himself I guess. If he hadn't invited so many people, he would have not gone through what he just did. He dug a grave for himself.

But why do I get the feeling it was the spectacled guy's, I think his name is Eric of something like that, fault. Maybe I just don't like him.

It seemed that he used me to get the attention of his crush, the girl with the awesome black hair. The one I had met in the –ugh- toilet.

That meant she had been talking to Sakura. And that Sakura had just been going through a hangover, probably because of my fiancé.

See what you can deduce from studying what people say, and how they act?

Anyway, I had mainly wanted to find out what he was like, and if he had a crush already. The plan I had was mainly to see his reaction. I don't think my father will give up this marriage so easily. Or maybe…

Ok fine. There's a teensy bit of my brain that thinks that he might.

Don't most parents believe that before you get married, you cannot have sexual intercourse?

The thing is, he isn't like most parents.

Then suddenly, Naruto turns up. This seemed way too timely and coincidental to be just an accident. Because, Naruto doesn't even live near the café. He lives at the other side of the city!

Tomoyo must have been messaging him just now, when she so sneakily slipped her hand into her pocket and took out something.

This shows that they were all very close to each other.

My crush is close to my fiancé and his crush.

Still, the saddest thing was, he didn't even recognize me.

I should be happy, I guess. If he knew who I was, he would tell his friends that I was a psycho who visited the therapist. I mean, that's mainly the reason you visit one in the first place, right?

So I knew I had to leave, pronto.

At least I know why Naruto goes for the sessions. He fools around a lot. And if you ask, "Why the hell would you like a guy like that?", I'd tell you that he is still a virgin.

The counseler herself knows that, because she just rolls her eyes when he talks about it.

It's the way he talks about sex itself. To the naked eye, it seems like his an expert at it. But if you observe carefully, you can infer that he gets his info from books or something. His eyes always gleam as though he is playing a joke. In a way, he is doing that, hiding his real life from the rest of the people there.

I think he actually enjoys talking bout it in the counseling sessions, when everybody gets caught up in his wild stories.

And we continue to go for the same reasons.

We want the much needed attention.

Syaoran's POV

I have to talk to Sakura.

I need to know what she thinks of Hinata's idea.

That's why I followed her when she left the café. Now she's sitting on a bench in the garden, with me two benches away from her.

There must be some other way to go about bringing this damn betrothal down. I can't humiliate her to call off my marriage. It would be an automatic turn off for suitors and potential husbands when she is eligible for marriage. But if it was me she was marrying…

Back to the point, she shouldn't even be involved in this matter.

I hope she didn't think I had shouted because the thought of doing that with her creeps me out. You have no idea how much I have thought about it.

No I'm not sick, nor perverted. I want to hold her hand, hold her waist, hug her, kiss her, with no particular reason at all.

Because I love her.

I don't know what I should think.

Her father wouldn't care, would he? He would probably kill him if he thought I really did it with her. Sakura wasn't even allowed to have a boyfriend! Touya would…Touya would…

Would Hinata's father really call off the betrothal even if I tell him that? He was The Hyuuga, the majestic businessman, but he was also a guy…

Wait, did Hinata plan for it to be this way? Just to see my reaction? But how could she have known if I had a crush or not?

Oh right. By seeing my response to her idea.

Dammit.

Damn Hinta for doing this to me, damn Eriol for flirting with her, damn Naruto for turning up, damn Tomoyo for being friends with them.

Damn Sakura. For…for making me love her.

Naruto's POV

Man. Why did Tomoyo have to ask me, of all people, to come for lunch with them.

I knew she needed someone to destroy this meal and ruin the mood, but dude, everyone glared at me when I did what I had gone there for. To chase her away.

If looks could kill, I would be bleeding to death on the floor of the café right now.

I hadn't even got a chance to really look at her face before she left. But her figure was smokin hot. Was she even a teen?

She looked vaguely familiar. Maybe she was one of the cover models on some magazines. She could even be on the cover of one of my perv uncle, Jiraiyi, porno ones!

Hey, don't look at me this way! I was joking! She shouldn't even be allowed to work as a model for those magazines.

Ok fine since you're still thinking bad thoughts bout me, I'll tell you something good about me: I'm a virgin!

At least I got a free lunch. Sakura left, with Syaoran watching her, and when she stepped out of the door, he left too.

I ate up their leftovers, and to thank me for being so heroic, Tomoyo bought me lunch too.

I'm going to eat as much as I can. MUAHAHAHA.

So there was something good in destroying a mood at lunch.

--

Eriol's POV

I decided that I won't tell Syaoran about the passionate kiss. I'll spare him that now, at least. He doesn't need anymore on his mind than he already does.

And it's weird to think of Naruto kissing Sakura. I mean, him and her? They are so wrong together.

I wonder why Tomoyo is treating Naruto, of all people, lunch. He is a glutton who can eat anything, and will eat everything. Her wallet will have a hole in thirty minutes.

So what will Syaoran and Sakura do? Why did Hinata's father betroth her to Syaoran in the first place? Find out in the next chapter.
