Chapter 11
Truth and Lies

Syaoran paced around the room as he waited for Sakura to arrive. He had lured her here without suspicion and now he would play her like the fool she really was. The plan was perfect, the disguise a masterpiece and now as Syaoran awaited the fun he was about to have, he couldn't help grinning.

Yet somewhere in the back of his mind, Syaoran was still contemplating how far he would take his little joke. Would he finally be able to express his true emotions in a night of passionate love making? But it wouldn't be him, would it? Or would he stop so that Sakura didn't get hurt? Syaoran's mind became clouded with these thoughts.

He was soon snapped to his senses when he heard a soft knock at the door. Syaoran put on his best fake smile as he opened the door, but he couldn't stop his jaw from slacking as he looked at the beauty before him. Sakura's dress was no longer modest. The straps were pushed far down her arms revealing feminine shoulders and a great view of the top of her breasts. The dress also seemed a lot shorter, revealing Sakura's fantastic pale legs.

"Can I come in Rui?" Sakura asked with a silky smile on her lips. Syaoran stepped aside, allowing her to enter the room before closing the door behind her. As soon as he turned around, Sakura's lips were on his in a passionate and heated kiss. Syaoran had no choice but to respond as they fought for dominance, their tongues battling one another. Syaoran couldn't help the soft groan that slipped out as memories of their past experiences came flooding back. He saw the beach, the cinema and his apartment, all places where they had shared intimate moments and his mind raced to what was to come.

Eventually the pair pulled back for air and Syaoran caught a glance of Sakura's lust filled eyes. Realisation dawned on him and he looked away, knowing if she saw his amber orbs, he would be revealed. He pulled away from the embrace, his emotions racing. His head was telling him to stop messing about and continue with his plan. She was clearly fooled by his appearance and was seemingly willing to go quite far. Yet his heart was telling him that this was wrong. Sakura would get hurt and he didn't want that. If they were to make love, it would be as Syaoran and Sakura, not someone else. Syaoran moved over to the window as he contemplated his thoughts, forgetting Sakura was still in the room.

"What's wrong Rui?" Sakura asked, following him towards the corner of the room. She sounded hurt and Syaoran fought hard to pursue his plan.

In his best Rui voice, Syaoran responded. "Sakura, we really need to talk about all this". It was a good impression and if Sakura hadn't already been on to Syaoran, she would have been fooled.

"All of what?" she asked, keeping up the pretence.

Syaoran spun round to look at her, his face full of anger. "All this crap over the Jubilee contract! It's tearing us apart! You have been so obsessed with winning over that Li guy that you haven't really spent any time with me." Even though it was fake, Sakura felt slightly pained by Syaoran's words. She knew there was some truth to them and the fact that even Syaoran could see that meant Rui certainly had.

Syaoran continued. "He interrupted when I was trying to propose for goodness sakes. But I think you knew. I think you knew I was going to ask you to marry me and that's why you let him stay" Syaoran knew he was playing a risky game, but if he got the desired effect, then the hidden camera would capture the most perfect moment and he would ruin Sakura for good.

However, Sakura had other plans. She knew what Syaoran was up to and she knew exactly how to respond.

"Oh Rui, you have it all wrong. I love you, I always have. Of course I want to marry you. Syaoran is a self-centred low life who only cares about himself. We were never in love, only pretending to be for the sake of our businesses. With you it's real. I know things have gotten a little out of hand but it will be over soon. Whether I get the contract or not, I still want to be with you." Sakura approached Syaoran as he silently cursed. It was definitely not the reaction he had been hoping for and it hurt to hear her say she didn't or hadn't ever loved him.

Beginning to lose his patience, Syaoran tried again.

"You must have some feelings for him, or else you wouldn't want to beat him so badly. He can be that could that you have to try this hard with no other intentions." It was a trap that was clearly obvious to Sakura. Either she admitted that she had feelings for Syaoran, or that he was that good. She knew now was the time to make her move.

"No he's not that good. Not that good at all. Especially when he pretends to be someone he's not!" In a flash, Sakura pulled off Syaoran's wig and he was exposed.

"You are filth Li, do you know that? What exactly where you trying to get from me?" Syaoran was speechless. Had she known all along? Or had she just figured it out? Either way, he was busted and his plan had been a complete fail.

"Now you're lost for words! You make me sick. I love Rui, not you. Who would ever love you? You're a joke and I don't know what you were trying to do but it didn't work" Sakura stormed towards the door and swung it open. Syaoran jumped out of his seat. He opened his mouth and the words came flying out before his brain even had the chance to stop him.

"I just wanted you to tell me that you still have feelings for me like I still have feelings for you". His words froze Sakura by the doorway as they echoed around the room. Syaoran continued to stare at Sakura, his heart thumping and his mind furious at his sudden declaration. She didn't move, just looked out into the empty hallway as his words were processed in her mind. She looked at him. He seemed pathetic, a hurt look on his face, the wig still cast on the floor and his chest rising and falling erratically.

"I'm going to ignore what you just said Li, because clearly you have had one too many. I'm going back to Rui and we can get on with the fireworks". Sakura's monotone voice hit Syaoran hard. She left the room and shut the door, her footsteps echoing quietly. Syaoran punched the wall, his anger and humiliation coming out all at once. Not only had his plan failed, but he had become weak and admitted something he had no right to say.

A single tear rolled down his eye. Not due to anger or hurt or sadness. Simply because he had been heartbroken. Heartbroken once again.

Returning to the party, Sakura searched desperately for Rui. The words Syaoran had said rang in her ears. Of course they were lies, she told herself. It was merely a trick to get her to lower her guard so he could win. She wouldn't allow it! She found Rui stood with Eriol, deep in conversation. She ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

"What's caused all this, darling?" Rui asked, turning to hug Sakura back.

"I just love you so much!" Sakura replied, a soft smile on her face.

"Ah, fair enough. Well you are just in time. The display is about to start". Realisation dawned on Sakura as she saw everyone make their way outside. The show was about to start.

Meanwhile, Syaoran was having a quiet discussion with his fireworks director.

"You want to do what!" the man yelled, trying to follow what Syaoran was saying.

"Keep your voice down. I'm just changing the last firework, that's all. I can handle it so don't worry about it. All you need to do is set it up, I'll do the rest"

"Whatever you say, boss." the man huffed as Syaoran walked off. It was such a weird last minute change, but then again, his boss was pretty weird too.

Taking up her place, Sakura addressed the crowd.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. I am delighted to present to you this evening our spectacular show. As a great man once said... Let there be light!" At once the sky lit up as rockets shot in the air behind her. Multiple rockets followed, causing the sky to become a rainbow of colour.

The crowed clapped in awe as more fireworks enlightened their eyes. Then came Sakura's favourite part. A small fountain in the centre of the water fountain began emitting little sparks of colour that reflected on the surface of the water. It died down and for a second nothing happened. Suddenly, multiple fountains erupted on the water, creating a phenomenal display of intellect and imagination.

The display ended after one final fountain erupted in golden stars. Applause ruptured from the crowd and Sakura smiled warmly at everyone as she walked back towards Rui.

"That was...WOW!" Tomoyo yelled, hugging her friend. Rui nodded in agreement and Eriol laughed as Sakura tried to speak from Tomoyo's grasp. Their happiness was short lived as a spotlight focused on someone in the shadows.

"Yes, yes wasn't that just wonderful! I must say even I was impressed. However, now the REAL fireworks can begin." Syaoran's voice carried across the people as they fell silent. Sakura looked straight at him and noticed he had changed back into his original costume. She didn't have time to fully asses him though as a large firework erupted overhead. Many followed and soon Sakura was getting bored. The rest of the crowd seemed fully entertained by the show, but Sakura knew there had to be more to it.

The sudden lack of noise sparked her interest and Sakura, like many others, began to wonder what was going on. Syaoran spoke once again as the spotlight returned to him.

"This last firework is dedicated to someone very special to me. It is dedicated to the woman I spend every day thinking about. The woman who haunts my dreams and softens my nightmares. This last firework, ladies and gentlemen, is dedicated to the woman I love."

A fountain was set alight and instantly pink sparks came flying out. Lighter shades of pink came out in long strands whilst darker shades only appeared as mere specs of colour as the fountain grew in size. It was gorgeous, like a bouquet of flowers and even Sakura could not deny it was a marvel.

Then something happened that completely took her breath away. The fountain dies and a single rocket launched from the centre. As it exploded in the sky, it formed the image of a beautiful and delicate cherry blossom. The rocket must have taken years to perfect, but that wasn't what got to Sakura. She had only told Syaoran once that her favourite flowers were in harmony with her name, but he had never paid any attention to this fact. Yet now, as the last sparks died away, she couldn't help but wonder if it was more than just coincidence that Syaoran had used a cherry blossom.

At first Sakura cursed herself. Of course it wasn't her. It was probably just some slut he had picked up who liked the colour pink. Or maybe Syaoran's mystery woman didn't exist and he had just said all that spiel to win over the crowd and the committee. Then another part started to argue back. Maybe what he had said when they were alone had actually been true. Maybe he did still have feelings for her. But love? Was a man like that truly capable of love?

One thing Sakura was certain of. This was going to make her life a whole lot tougher.

Woo so that was the end of my chapter. I hope it lived up to expectations. Let me know what you think because i really need to know if im doing a good job.
