Chapter Nine: Fairytale Nightmare 1
Three weeks of dating Syaoran feel like a year. They were in a comfortable routine. Mei Lin had moved out of the dorm room, and permanently into the mansion with Jamie. She was mostly homeschooling herself. Tomoyo and Eriol were barely there either, and she was starting to really miss her roommates. Syaoran had told her to move in too, but she knew if that were to happen she wouldn't get any school work done. Though she and Syaoran were in no way hiding their relationship, they still hadn't had sex yet. Sakura wasn't too worried about it. They would take that step when they were ready. She also was completely in love with him… she was not about to let him know that!
Today was one of those days she was at the mansion, having decided she needed a personal day from school. Syaoran had gone to run an errand for Wolf with the Sage kid, and she was currently doing some math homework and watching a movie with Stacey.
"Are you excited about the ball tomorrow?" Stacey asked out of the blue. Sakura raised an eyebrow. She had heard her cousin mention something about this ball, but that was a week ago.
"I don't think I was invited." Sakura said, returning to her work. Stacey's giggle made Sakura look back up.
"Of course you're invited." Stacey laughed." You are a leader of the gang. You can't not go." Sakura felt herself blush as Syaoran walked into the room.
"Xiao I think we missed a joke." Sage spoke, walking toward the back with two large, black duffles. Syaoran raised an eyebrow at her, and Sakura raised one back.
"She's laughing at me because I told her I wasn't invited to the ball." Sakura said with a smirk. She giggled too when Syaoran's face turned red, having realized his mistake. He walked over to her, and sat next to her on the couch. He took her hands into his and smiled the smile she loved.
"Ying Fa, would you please accompany this inconsiderate ass to the ball?" He asked. She giggled again.
"Yea yea I suppose. But you owe me a dance." She winked. He chuckled, and kissed her. Gods she loved his kisses too. She was so screwed when he finally realized he deserved better and dumped her ass.
"I'll take that deal." He spoke when they separated. "I have to go check in with Wolf. I'll see you later." With one last kiss he was gone, and she was red as a cherry.
Syaoran
STUPID! He couldn't believe he had forgotten to actually ask her to go to the ball. He was seriously trying to be the perfect boyfriend, but he kept screwing up.
"What did you do now?" Eriol's voice reached his ears when he walked into the study.
"Why do you assume I did something?" Syaoran asked as he took a seat.
"You have that look on your face like you just fucked up something with Sakura." Jamie answered from the other chair. Syaoran sighed, looking at his best friends and other members who were close or family.
"I forgot to actually ask her to the ball. I just kind of assumed she was going to go with me, so I didn't realize it." Syaoran spoke in agitation. Eriol and Jamie laughed, while most the others rolled their eyes.
"I don't think it's the end of the world. She obviously is going with you correct?" Wolf asked. Syaoran just nodded. "Good, then back to the matter at hand…"
"Tiger has been pretty quiet lately." Jamie spoke. As the leader of the Dragon Clan, Syaoran knew he was just as interested in Tiger's moves as the Wolves were. "Do you think he's going to keep to the truce?"
"He would be very stupid not to." Eriol spoke up next.
"Everyone will be prepared anyways. They always are." Syaoran said.
"Just in case I want some guards on look out. I'll ask some of the other gangs to give up some people too." Wolf spoke.
Sakura
"Shit I forgot some stuff at my dorm…" Sakura sighed as she looked around her room at the mansion for the 3rd time.
"What are you missing?" Tomoyo asked, walking into the room. Sakura looked up to her cousin with a smile.
"My history book." Sakura sighed. "I'm gonna run back fast. Wanna join me?" Tomoyo beamed and nodded. They headed toward the garage and her new bike. She loved finding excuses to ride Shade. Tomoyo hopped on Eriols bike, and within seconds they were headed out.
"Are you excited about the ball?" Tomoyo asked as they sped through traffic. Sakura could feel the smile on her face.
"Very. I just have no clue what to wear." Sakura sighed, as they got off the highway.
"I have you covered. Are you staying at the mansion tonight?"
"I might as well. The dorm is getting lonely." Sakura sighed as they finally pulled up to the dorm. She and Tomoyo walked up the stairs to their room and opened the door, being greeted by an angry Naoko and Rika. "How did you get in here?"
"Mei Lin gave us her key." Naoko said. "We are upset." Sakura giggled.
"Mika and Alex haven't called you all week." Sakura responded. Rika almost looked shocked.
"Well yea…" Rika responded.
"That's because they're out of town." Sakura spoke, sitting on the couch. "They'll be back tonight, or early tomorrow morning. Sorry I figured they would have told you."
"There are advantages of having our leader be our best friend." Naoko giggled.
"I even told Eriol to make sure they called you." Tomoyo sighed. "Why don't you two come back with us and stay the night at the mansion?" Naoko and Rika blushed.
"I don't think Mika would enjoy coming home to me in his bed." Naoko whispered. Sakura smacked her upside the head. "OUCH!"
"Stop being stupid. Come on. I have my book, so you can ride with us. Grab Mei's extra helmets from her room." Sakura said getting up. Naoko and Rika followed, and Tomoyo closed the door. Naoko got on behind Sakura, and Rika with Tomoyo.
Syaoran
Stacey had told him that Sakura had left about thirty minutes ago. He hoped she was coming back soon. He missed her. He was currently trying to meditate in the gym, when arms wound around him. Without even thinking, he went into defense mode and flipped the person. A squeak was heard as he opened his eyes to see a startled Sakura. Shit…
"Sorry…" he said, trying to help her up. With cat like reflexes, she swiped his feat and brought him down, and straddled him, with a huge smile on her face.
"I don't see why you always get to be on top." She winked. "Though now I know not to sneak up on you." He chuckled, stroking her sides.
"I was wondering when you would get back." He smirked, as she leaned into him. Gods she was gorgeous.
"I forgot a book. What are we doing tonight?" She asked, lazily gazing at him. He didn't think he could ever get tired of looking at her. He reached up to run his fingers through her hair.
"Whatever you want to do." He said. When she sighed, he felt a shiver run through him. She had the oddest affect on him.
"Club? Or maybe stay in and watch movies?" She said with a shrug.
Sakura
She was happy to just relax and spend time with him. If he was willing to spend time with her, then he was going to take the chance.
"Movies sound like a nice idea." He said in his sexy, deep voice. Gods his voice alone made her dizzy. She smiled at him, glad he had chosen to stay in and spend time together.
"Where would you like to watch these movies?" She questioned. She could feel the beat of his heart as she laid on him. It was soothing. And his hands caressing and running through her hair was turning her on.
"My room?" He asked with a cute raise of his brow. She smiled at him and nodded, then yelped when he easily got up, holding her to him like she was a piece of paper. She couldn't help but giggle as he carried her out of the gym and toward his end of the house. She was so glad that no one in the house was around to witness this. As soon as they got to his room, he threw her on the bed, still giggling.
"You know, my legs do work Little Wolf." She said through giggles.
"How did you know that's what my name means?" He asked with that cute eye brow raised. She shrugged, as she got more comfy on the bed. Gods he was so handsome! How did she get so lucky?
"I looked it up. Is it ok that I call you that?" She asked, feeling embarrassed for using a nick name with him. He was probably one of those guys that didn't like pet names. She watched him crawl up the bed toward her, looking way too innocent for his own good. His hand wrapped around her waist, and drew her toward him. She could feel the blush on her cheeks, but her mind went blank when he kissed her.
"You can call me whatever you want, Cherry Blossom." He whispered, before kissing her again. She made sure to break the kiss, before it got too out of hand. When it came to him, she didn't think she could trust herself.
"What movie do you want to watch?" She asked, hoping he didn't hear how breathless he made her. His wolfish smile told her that he noticed his affect on her.
"You pick, I'll shower." He said, before getting up and heading toward his bathroom.
Syaoran
Cold shower seemed to be a necessity after every encounter with his girlfriend. He wondered if she even knew about the affect she had on him. He was proud of himself, however. He had yet to sleep with her. He didn't know what made her so much different from his last girlfriends, but he wanted to treat her with respect.
"I'm turning into a sucker…" He whispered to himself. He couldn't help himself though. She was gorgeous and sweet, and special. He wasn't an idiot. He knew that he was one lucky son of a bitch to have gotten the chance to be with her. He was falling for her… no doubt about that. He hoped he didn't get screwed. He also hoped he didn't get embarrassed tomorrow at the ball. He had a feeling his mother and sisters would be there, and he knew they would be gaga about Sakura. With a sigh he turned off the shower and dried off. He walked into his room wearing his PJ pants, and found Sakura resting on his bed, watching the previews of a movie.
"I was wondering if you got lost in there." Her voice reached him. She had such a seductive voice. He laid on the bed and drew her into his arm. She fit perfectly against him. He wondered if she realized it too…
"What are we watching?" He asked, as he ran his hand up and down her arm. She sighed, and laid her head on his chest. He really didn't care what they were watching… he was much more interested in watching her.
"Fast Five." She sighed as the movie started.
Morning
Sakura was dragged out of Syaoran's warm embrace around 11:30am by Tomoyo and Mei Lin. Half awake she stumbled down the many corridors of the mansion until they finally arrived in what seemed to be a dressing room for the stars. It had manikins in elaborate clothes, and about five dressing tables with makeup that seemed to be taking over everything. Sakura didn't know whether to be scared or excited. She was simply at a loss for words.
"OK…we only have a few hours before the ball, and I still need to make sure that the dresses fit well. We're gonna meet the boys there, so they'll get a nice surprise!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. Mei Lin and Sakura just looked at each other in horror.
Tomoyo handed Sakura the pink dress along with gold heals and undergarments. After Sakura changed and walked onto the catwalk Tomoyo took a couple pictures and then pulled on the dress in certain spots making sure that the dress wasn't too loose.
"I knew it was going to fit perfectly!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes.
"It's absolutely breathtaking Moyo!" Sakura beamed looking at herself in the full length mirror. The dress clung to her body in all the right places and flowed out at the bottom (like a silk mermaid dress the one Julia Robers wore in my best friend's wedding) It had diamonds tightly together around the plunging neck line and up the halter straps. Then the diamonds scattered throughout the dress to the bottom.
"I know Syaoran will love it!" Mei Lin said walking out in a gorgeous red gown. It was a strapless dress that had a corset top. It fit tightly to her body and the skirt flowed around her like water.
"Oh Mei! Jamie's gonna choke when he sees you! You look amazing!" Sakura screamed as she looks at Mei Lin. Tomoyo pulled on her dress like Sakura's and the tightened the corset top.
"Moyo…if you make it any tighter I won't be able to breathe!" Mei Lin said placing her hand on her chest trying to breathe in the tight top.
"Oh stop! I've had you in tighter things!" Tomoyo stated as she tied the strings into a tight knot. "Rika, Naoko, and some of the other girls should be up shortly to get ready. All of your jewelry is on your dressing table."
Syaoran
After having Sakura ripped out of his grasp he slowly made his way to the living room. He hadn't even realized he fell asleep with Sakura until she was yanked out of his bed. It was just more comfortable to have her there. He sighed realizing that tonight was going to be a long and important night. Not only were the Wolf's and Dragon's going to be there, but also a few other gangs and his other cousin who happened to be engaged to a respected gang leader. He fell onto the couch next to Eriol as Jamie finished his turn at Guitar Hero.
"I can't believe you Jamie…We have a huge ball to worry about, and all you can do is sit and try to beat my high score?" Syaoran said watching Jamie do surprisingly well at the song.
"Ha! What do you mean try?" Jamie smirked as his score was now found in the #1 spot. Syaoran just growled as he took the guitar and started his turn.
"YOU BOYS HAD BETTER NOT BE PLAYING THAT GOD FORSAKEN GAME INSTEAD OF GETTING READY!" Stacey screamed from the stairs as she and the other girls were heading for Tomoyo's studio. The boys cringed as they turned off the Wii and headed for their rooms. They would be leaving with Wolf in a couple hours to make sure everything was in order before the girls and the rest of the guests arrived.
Ball
Syaoran and the guys showed up early finding Wolf talking to some caterers. There was a hustle and bustle as many workers scurried to finish up the last of the décor. Banners with gang coat of arms were scattered throughout the great ballroom. (think Harry Potter)
"You never realize how many gangs are in alliance until the night of the ball…" Jamie said as he looked around the room. The other leaders would show up later when the event started. Jamie was only there because Mei Lin was with the other girls, and Syaoran asked him to join the men. An elegantly dressed woman with black hair and piercing amber eyes smiled lovingly at Syaoran as the boys reached Wolf.
"Good evening Wolf…Mother." Syaoran addressed as he kissed his mother on the cheek. She had flown in from Hong Kong most likely along with his cousin and sisters.
"Xiao Lang…" She said smiling.
"I'm so glad you could make it from Hong Kong, mother. And being escorted by Wolf none the less." Syaoran said.
"After all I've been hearing about Tiger and this new young lady I just had to make sure I attended this year. Plus your sisters wanted to get out of the house." She stated as she took her sons' arm and walked with him around the hall making sure everything was in its place. "I'm so glad that Kinomoto has finally found all of you." Syaoran stopped dead in his tracks looking at his mother in shock.
"You know about Sakura?" He asked looking at his mother's serious face.
"Of course Xiao Lang. Her mother and I grew up together. I haven't seen her since her father remarried and moved to Beijing when she was but a baby." She continued as they walked. "It will be a pleasure to see how much she has grown, and from what Wolf tells me, her father had taught her well, rest his soul." They continued to talk as she made points to tell workers to fix this or that.
The Girls
"Tomoyo! Ohh! You look heavenly!" The girls cried as Tomoyo finally walked out in her own dress. It was a spaghetti strap dress made of baby blue silk that flowed to the ground accenting her curves. The girls were all finally ready for the ball to start.
"Moyo…how did you find time to make all of these dresses?" Rika asked looking at her green dress that went well with her curled red hair. Naoko's dress was deep purple, while Stacy had banana yellow.
"Oh I make time. Do you think the Li sisters will be there tonight?" Tomoyo asked as she slipped on her silver heals.
"I haven't a clue. Auntie Yelen didn't say anything to me about coming, and Syaoran didn't think they'd make it. I don't even know if Cat is gonna come." Mei Lin said as she finished up her makeup. Sakura, Rika and Naoko just looked on confused as the girls talked about some people they didn't know about.
"Oh…they're talking about Syaoran's sisters and Mei Lin's sister. You see…Syaoran has four older sisters that live in Hong Kong with his mother, and Mei Lin's sister lives in Hong Kong with her fiancée who's the leader of the Lion Clan." Stacey said trying to help them understand. "If they do come you'll meet them tonight." She said when the girls nodded and headed down to the waiting limo.
Tiger
He walked into the hotel ballroom with Tatiana hanging off his arm. He walked over to a group of men that bowed respectfully to him. They all had beautiful women hanging off their arms in dresses that showed off their Clans. One woman's dress was made of snakeskin; another's was made to look like a scorpion. This was how the leaders signified who they were…by what their women wore.
"Ahhh Tiger! How are you doing?" A middle-aged man asked looking at Tatiana.
"I'm well. And how are you Khan?" Tiger asked the leader of the Bats. "I see your wife isn't here."
"Yes well…when a woman feels the need to boss me around let's just say… not even the roaches can find her now. This is Ming. She knows her place." The man said introducing a good-looking blonde. She looked like she belonged in a Batman movie from the logo on her dress.
"I understand that. I wanted to thank you for allowing me to borrow some of your men for tonight. I know how much you want this plan to work as well." Tiger said making Khan and a couple others nod in agreement. "This is Tatiana. She used to be our undercover op for the Wolf and Little Wolf." The men nodded as they took in her look.
"And such a lovely dress. She's more of a Tiger anyways you can tell." A balding man spoke. Tatiana could tell he wasn't as old as Tiger. The balding must have been hereditary. "Is she in on tonight's plan Tiger?"
"As a matter of fact she is not Hitoshi. Just as you and the rest of the Snakes decided not to be in on the plan."
"It's a night of truce and drinking Tiger. It is something my father respected, and something my gang and me will respect as well. There is always tomorrow or the next night for our revenge. Why waist a perfectly good party on the likes of Li and his pack?"
"I happen to think otherwise and I know that many other agree with my idea. Tigers will rule Tokyo again with the help of the Scorpions and Bats. If the Snakes don't wish to be a part of it then that is your loss." Hitoshi just growled as he looked over Tiger before nodding to a couple of his men. "I'm glad I could get you to see things my way."
Syaoran
Syaoran and the guys were standing in a group away from the dance floor waiting for the girls to arrive. The ballroom was beginning to get slightly packed as members from other gangs and theirs started to come in announced from the top of the staircase.
"Presenting Li Tomicka and Lian Tobias." The announcer stated, as a beautiful women in a lilac dress descended the stairs with a good-looking blonde. Her strawberry blonde hair was up in an elegant wrap as her mix of amber and blue eyes scanned the room. She smiled seeing her cousin standing in the back corner as her and her date walked toward them.
"Cousin! How wonderful it is to see you!" She exclaimed hugging Syaoran. Tobias just stood waiting for her to finish. She smiled at Tobias before moving back to her cousin.
"Well Chan decided to show up this time…and without a date I see." She said smiling wolfishly at him.
"Lian still hasn't gotten you under control yet?" Jamie stated smirking at her now fuming face. Oh she was defiantly Mei Lin's sister.
"Now Jamie. You should know as well as I that Li women are hard to handle." Tobias finally spoke up as he placed his arms around Tomicka's waist.
"It's good to see the leader of the Lions would fly all the way out from Hong Kong to grace us with his presents. Next time leave the chick at home." Jamie said fuming. Tobias just chuckled at his long time friend.
"So where is my dear little sister Chan? And Daidouji? I haven't seen your girlfriend since last summer, Eriol." Tomicka asked looking from Jamie to Eriol.
"I'm sure the girls are on their way. And when will you start calling me Jamie?" Jamie asked rolling his eyes.
"When you accept that I'm a Wolf leader and not some fragile uncontrolled female." Tomicka smiled. Jamie just shook his head before receiving a hug from her and handshake from Tobias.
"Presenting Li Mei Lin, Daidouji Tomoyo, Wong Stacy, Hitaru Rika, Sono Naoko, and Kinomoto Sakura." Everyone's head shot up hearing the girls being announced as one by one, angels floated down the stairs. Tomicka raised a brow at her cousin wondering who the last three girls were. As the girls approached the guys Jamie, Syraoran and Eriol almost fell over dead. The girls were the most gorgeous creatures on the planet.
"Awe sorry Mei…they didn't pass out like predicted." Sakura giggled as she finally stood in front of Syaoran. Mei Lin only gave her a mock sad face as she started to beam seeing who was standing with the boys.
"Oh Sakura! I would like you to meet my older sister Tomicka a.k.a Cat, and her fiancée Lian Tobias leader of the Lion Clan!" Mei Lin introduced as she went and hugged her sister.
"It's wonderful to meet you. But you two look nothing alike!" Sakura pointed out. Tomicka just giggled.
"I used to have black hair like Mei's but I died it blonde, and these are blue contacts." She said showing Sakura how the color moved off her eye reveling a beautiful red amber.
"I can never get her to believe that she is gorgeous without them, but what can a man do?" Tobias butt in shaking Sakura's hand as Syaoran wrapped his arms around her waist. "Li's been holding out on us."
Sakura
"Xiao Lang I know I taught you manners! How about you try utilizing them." A women spoke looking at Syaoran. She was gorgeous, and there were four younger looking versions of her, standing behind the woman.
"Umm…yes…Sakura I would like you to meet Wolf's date, Yelen. She's my mother. And behind her are my sisters, Xiefia, Fanfren, Fuuite, and Feimei. Everyone this is Sakura." Syaoran said. Sakura felt herself blush… she didn't think she would be meeting his family already.
"Oh mother! Look how kawaii Saku has grown! She looks like her mother!" Xiefia said as she touched her mother's arm. Yelen just smiled agreeing.
"My mother? How do you know what my mother looked like?" Sakura asked looking very confused and curious. Syaoran never mentioned anything about knowing her mother.
"Oh how rude of me. I'm sorry, I knew your mother when she was younger. And I knew you when you were just a baby before you moved to Beijing." Yelen stated. Sakura had a feeling that her face portrayed the shock she felt. His family knew her!
"Xiao Lang still needs work on his manners Auntie. This is Rika and Naoko. The newest members of the gang." Mei Lin butt in as Rika and Naoko smiled. "If you'll excuse us, Jamie owes me a dance." Mei Lin stated as she dragged Jamie to the dance floor.
"My Cherry Blossom, would you honor me with a dance?" Syaoran asked extending his arm to her. She smiled excusing them for the waltz. It would give her a chance to get over the shock.
Syaoran
"So that's Kinomoto's daughter?" Tomicka asked him. He had aloud Tobias to cut in, and was now watching Sakura dance and talk to him while he talked with Tomicka.
"From what my mother told me. How is it that I don't remember her, but you and my sisters do?" Syaoran asked Tomicka as Sakura giggled at something Tobias said. He was surprised he hadn't passed out from seeing her. He hadn't thought she could get any more beautiful, but she had stunned him once again.
"You were here training with Wolf when she was born and then taken to Beijing. I only saw her for a couple months before she left. I was only 4. I'm surprised I even remember that much." Tomicka giggled taking a sip of punch.
"Well now there's two female leaders for the Wolves. When are you and Lian going to get married so I can finally be rid of you?" Syaoran teased. He only got the trademark Li glare from his dear cousin.
"We haven't decided yet. Toby wants to stay in Tokyo for a while to help you with Tiger, then we'll decide from there." She shrugged. "I think I'm going to go steal a dance from my fiancée." Tomicka said walking toward Tobias and Sakura's dancing forms.
Sakura
"Did you know that dancing was invented in England as a way of expressing emotion?" Tobias said to Sakura making her laugh. He reminded her of her friend's boyfriend, Takashi. He helped keep her mind off the many people staring at her.
"That is such rubbish!" She giggled, "You would get along great with my friend Takashi. So Mr. Lian you're leader of the Lions?"
"I am. And you're a leader of the Wolves." He stated smiling at her.
"And Tomicka is your fiancée? Do you love her?"
"Of course I do, that's why I want to marry her. How about you? Do you have someone you love?"
"I think so, but how do you know if the person you love, loves you back?" She enquired as she stole a glance at Syaoran, who was smirking at Tomicka, who glared at him.
"That's a good question. From a guys point of view it is a lot harder to express something like love. Especially in the line of work we happen to be in. But when we finally get the courage, we'll let you know." She giggled at his wink. All gang leaders must be mysterious… had to be a pre-requisite.
"May I cut in?" Tomicka asked smiling sweetly at Sakura.
"Of course. Thank you for the dance Mr. Lian." Sakura said, bowing to the man and smiling at her boyfriend's cousin.
"Tobias please. And I should thank you. You are a lovely dancer Miss Sakura." He smiled before taking up Tomicka in a quick waltz.
Syaoran
"Put 20 men outside the premises and make sure this isn't a joke. Don't call me unless there's a problem." Syaoran said hanging up the phone not seeing Sakura walking his way. It figured that of all nights, Tiger was going to prove he was a complete ass.
"This is supposed to be a party Little Wolf. No frowning aloud." Her sweet voice rang in his ears as he turned around. His sour look turned to a sweet smile as he looked her over. He finally got a chance to take in all her beauty. He needed a cold shower…
"Tomoyo did a wonderful job. You look stunning Ying Fa." He said pulling her into his body. She fit perfectly against him, and he suddenly had visions of her in his arms without the tight dress. He shook his head. He was supposed to be treating her with respect.
"And you look deadly handsome." She said as she tiptoed to kiss him. He pressed her body against his as the kiss deepened. They only broke when his phone started to ring. Growling in frustration he answered it. He could feel the frown returning to his face as he listened to the person on the other line.
"Ying Fa, I need you to go over with my mother and Wolf for a little bit. I have to run upstairs and check on something. I'll be right back I promise." He said kissing her again as she turned to walk toward his mother and sisters. As soon as she was to them, he turned toward the exit eyeing Jamie, Eriol, and Tobias on the way. Mika and Alex getting the idea took the girls over to Syaoran's mother before heading to where Syaoran was. He was so glad that Sakura hadn't asked any questions.
Tiger
He was getting more and more aggravated by Tatiana the longer they stayed at this blasted event. She wouldn't stop making him dance against his will, and she was ill mannered when it came to his most important guests. Finally getting rid of her while she went to the ladies room he walked back over to the leaders.
"The plan should be commencing in a matter of moments gentlemen, if you would like to go to the window and watch?" Tiger stated as they made their way to the cathedral windows.
Syaoran
His phone call turned up nothing, so they all returned to the ball. Everyone was enjoying the night dancing away. Hell even Syaoran was smiling and laughing, which he was sure shocked his mother and all the other leaders who have known him for years.
"Are you having fun my dear Cherry Blossom?" He asked as they spun around in the slow dance.
"It's a fairy tale! I've never been to such an event!" She said as they danced. He had never felt more comfortable dancing with someone then he was right now. He wondered if he should tell her that he was falling in love with her. I didn't want to scare her away, or have her laugh in his face.
"I hope you can get used to it. After this is your prom in June, then the Summer Ball in September, then Christmas Ball. We like to have these get togethers to…."
His words were cut short when the building began to shake violently as the lights flickered. The music stopped and everyone looked around the room. All of a sudden there was a blast, and screams filled the room. The floor beneath them gave way and Syaoran felt Sakura slip away.
"SAKURA!"
