Chapter 12 Surprises (Part II)
The three of them are all surprised to see Yamazaki. The guy is smiling at them as he lend his hand to get the dart from Sakura.
"Hey, you made it." Sakura was the first one to break the silence.
"Yeah. Actually I was beginning to worry that I won't find you here."
"Why didn't you call me instead?" Tomoyo asked Yamazaki.
"I forgot to get your number." Yamazaki said and looked at Tomoyo but then he also saw Eriol beside the young Daidouji. He looked at Eriol icily. He suddenly remembered what he found out about Eriol. He wanted to ask him but he has no right to interfere. He has nothing to do with it. And after all, he promised to himself that he will not let himself be affected with it, and also he swore to himself that he will keep his mouth shut to that issue. He will just let Eriol deal with the consequences then. But he still can't put away his anger towards him.
Eriol noticed that Yamazaki is staring at him coldly but he doesn't care. He didn't like the man after all. Well the guy has this ability to piss him off everytime he sees him. It's not because they weren't introduced well but because he's bit jealous towards the guy. He's a bit jealous because Tomoyo's mother picked him for her daughter. He likes the girl. He really really do.
"Yamazaki are you okay?" Tomoyo asked as she noticed that yellow-haired guy stood frozen on his spot.
"Y-yeah." Yamazaki replied and went closer to the balloon-dart-booth.
"Which one you want me to pop Sakura?" Yamazaki smiled that made Syaoran get mad at the guy.
"Uh the blue one, I think."
"The blue one." Yamazaki uttered then he threw the dart on the dart board hitting the blue balloon.
But instead of smiling and being happy, both Sakura and Tomoyo stared at the popped blue balloon. Something will happen that's not too much pleasant. They can feel it. From the looks of situation, something will really happen.
"Congratulations sir, here is your prize." The man handed Yamazaki a blue teddy bear with a size of Tomoyo's pink rabbit stuffed toy.
"Thank you." Yamazaki accepted the prize and turned to Sakura. He gave her the stuffed toy and smiled at her.
"T-thank you." Sakura uttered.
"I'll just get some sodas." Syaoran angrily said. He stormed off the group so he won't be able to witness Yamazaki flirting with his girlfriend.
"Hey wait for me!" Sakura said and ran towards Syaoran.
"Trouble…" Tomoyo muttered.
"Wait, who is he?" Yamazaki turned to Tomoyo.
"That guy is Syaoran, Sakura's boyfriend." Tomoyo explained.
"Oh I think he got me wrong." Yamazaki said.
"Well, let's just leave it to Sakura, they will make up eventually."
"Why don't we just g around the place?" Eriol suggested.
"That's a good idea." Tomoyo agreed.
"Is it okay if I go with you two?" Yamazaki asked.
"Yeah it's okay, right Tomoyo?" Eriol said as he held Tomoyo's right hand. The gesture made Yamazaki irritated but not because he's jealous, but because of Eriol continuing to show all these lies. Yeah, he still continued to lie to Tomoyo.
Yamazaki went on Tomoyo's left side and smiled at the young lady ignoring Eriol. "Is it really okay Tomoyo?" the yellow haired guy asked.
"Y-yeah it's okay. This will be fun." Tomoyo smiled. An unsure smile. Of course, everything will not be fun. Everything will be awkward for the three of them together.
"So where do we go first?" – Yamazaki.
Syaoran is alone in the bench, sitting. He's really pissed off from what happened earlier. Yamazaki was flirting with Sakura, his girlfriend. Now he doesn't like the guy anymore.
Sakura stood in front of Syaoran, not decided whether to smile at him or not. She knows that Syaoran got jealous and was pissed with Yamazaki. Now she doesn't know how to talk to him.
"Why did you leave?" Sakura asked innocently.
Syaoran looked at her first then looked away. He's really pissed off. Now he doesn't want to talk to anyone. He ignored Sakura. Sakura sat beside him and put the stuff toy beside her.
"Hey talk to me. Why are you so mad?"
"You're really asking me why am I so mad?" Syaoran turned to his girlfriend, arms crossed across his chest.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Fine. I know you're mad because of Yamazaki."
"Yeah. He's such…" Syaoran wasn't able to finish his sentence because Sakura kissed him on the cheek.
"Now don't get mad now, please."
Syaoran blushed as he stared at Sakura. She did a gesture that he couldn't resist again. "I uhh…" Syaoran continued to stare at Sakura with a reddened face. Why does she has this ability to make him blush when she's comforting him?
"I just don't like him flirting with you." Syaoran bowed down his head.
"He wasn't flirting with me. He was just being nice and friendly. He doesn't have any friends here so maybe he was just trying to be friends and comfortable with us." Sakura asked.
"He's Yamazaki, right?"
"Yeah."
"He was supposed to be Tomoyo's fiancé, am I right?"
"Yup."
"Does he already know what's going with Tomoyo and Eriol?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, does he already know that their relationship is fake?"
"No. I think no. Tomoyo wants to escape the deal so maybe Yamazaki doesn't have any clue about Tomoyo and Eriol's relationship."
"We should be careful then."
"Yeah. Extra careful is what we needed."
Syaoran stared at Sakura again. This time his features are calm. He's not jealous anymore because he already knew that it's only that Sakura loves. None other than but him. Syaoran smiled at the thought that made Sakura frown.
"What is it?" Sakura asked.
Suddenly, Syaoran hugged him tightly. Sakura was shocked but felt the comfort at the same time. She smiled and hugged him back. "I'm sorry for being a jerk." Syaoran apologized wholeheartedly.
"It's okay." Sakura muttered.
Syaoran pulled away from the embrace and faced Sakura again. "Let's go find them?"
"Sure." Sakura smiled.
"Why don't we go to the horror booth?" Yamazaki suggested. "I think it will be fun."
"I think the bump car is much better." Eriol countered.
"Well bump car is also fun but you might get dizzy after when you bump with another car over and over again." Yamazaki commented. Eriol stared at him coldly.
"You don't say. That's the reason why it's called bump car." Eriol shot back. Tomoyo almost grin at what Eriol had said but dared not to show it just to avoid offending Yamazaki.
Yamazaki glared at Eriol but the latter didn't see it because he's looking at the bump car. Now all Yamazaki wanted to do is to snatch Tomoyo from Eriol's grip but he instead calmed himself. He sighed unknowingly and decided to continue to argue with Eriol. He really wanted to ruin the guy's night.
"I still prefer to go on with the horror booth." Yamazaki stated coldly.
"I still prefer the bump cars." Eriol snapped.
Tomoyo who is silent since earlier, shifted her eyes to Eriol then to Yamazaki. She did it for some minutes. She can now feel the tension between the two guys with her and she doesn't know how to handle them. How she wish that Sakura and Syaoran are here with them. Oh why do they have to have a lover's quarrel at this point of time?
Earlier Tomoyo was glad that Yamazaki didn't call and didn't come with them at the amusement park. But everything turned upside down when he showed up. Everything is getting worse. Why does she have to be in between of these two cute guys? Tomoyo almost slapped her face for thinking that.
"Let's go ride the space shuttle instead." Tomoyo broke in.
The two guys stared at her. Did they hear her right? "Space Shuttle?" Yamazaki and Eriol asked in unison.
"Yeah. Why? You're not hat brave enough to ride it?" Tomoyo asked the two.
"Of course not. It's just… I thought you weren't fond of riding that kind of rides." Eriol commented. And in that comment, Yamazaki looked at him intently.
"Guess you're wrong Eriol." Yamazaki said. Eriol is now getting pissed off with Yamazaki. He wanted to kick his ass out of the amusement park.
"Let's just go there before I change my mind and go home instead." Tomoyo said as she too is now getting pissed off with the situation she's having now. This day is supposed to be a very good day but why is everything turned upside down?
Both Yamazaki and Eriol walked with Tomoyo in silence. They both know that the lady is already pissed off so they stayed quiet as much as possible. They stopped bickering with each other.
Tomoyo is in between Yamazaki and Eriol. She is glad that the two remained silent. She felt a little peace of mind. She wasn't sorry that she acted that way to them earlier. She just did it so the two will stop from bickering.
"Who's in?" Tomoyo broke the silence.
"Me." Eriol and Yamazaki said in unison again as the two both raised their right hand.
"Oh God, Tomoyo is really riding the Space Shuttle?" Sakura asked her boyfriend. Both of them are looking at the space shuttle. They are shocked and confused because they both know how much Tomoyo hated riding that kind of rides.
"Guess her taste in rides changed." Syaoran said.
Later on, the ride is finally over. Syaoran and Sakura walked towards their three companions. Sakura is a bit worried about Tomoyo because the latter did really hate riding that kind of rides.
Sakura noticed Tomoyo quiet. It must be the effect of the space shuttle. "Tomoyo, are you okay?" Sakura asked.
Tomoyo didn't answer. She just looked at Sakura. "Why did you let her ride the space shuttle?" Sakura turned to Eriol and Yamazaki.
"She's the one who insisted in riding it." Eriol said and Yamazaki nodded. "Why? Is something wrong?"
"She doesn't like riding that kind of rides." Sakura answered. Suddenly, Tomoyo touched Sakura's shoulder and smiled.
"I'm okay, don't worry." Tomoyo said reassuringly.
Everything went fine until it's already dark. Yamazaki and Eriol didn't argue anymore and Syaoran is okay with the yellow haired guy now. The misunderstanding between the two guys is already clear now. But something is wrong. Tomoyo can feel it. Something's going to happen and she thinks she's not gonna like it.
Here they are now. The five of them are standing in front of the ferris wheel. Tomoyo remembered how much she wanna ride it together with her love one, but will it come true? Maybe so. Maybe not. But whatever the result is, she will still accept it.
Eriol looked at Tomoyo and smiled. It's as if he's asking her to ride the ferris wheel with him but didn't utter a word. He just looked at her and smiled. On the other hand, Yamazaki is staring angrily at Eriol again. There's the urge of wanting to punch him straight in the face but like earlier, he tried to calm himself down.
"Who wants some popcorn?" Syaoran asked, breaking the silence between them.
"Hiiragizawa!" a voice of a woman called. They all looked at the direction where the voice came from and found a redhead woman with green eyes.
The young woman is running towards them and suddenly flung herself to Eriol who is in the state of shock. Actually, all of them are in the state of shock.
Eriol looked at the woman hugging him then to Tomoyo who stood frozen at her spot. The new guest is just another surprise for this day. Cassie Walshingham.
AN: Oh yeah, another update. Really fast huh? Let's just say, everything in my mind for this story is getting exciting so I'm really inspired in writing its chapters. Sorry if I ended up as a cliffhanger to my previous chapter. And hey, this one is a cliffhanger too. Hehe. For the next update, I don't know when it will be. Maybe at the end of the month or next month.
By the way, thank you very much for the reviews and especially toJames Birdsongfor not killing me *wink* and for the other reviews fromFictionLover12, EuroCuttie and watermelon17… THANK YOU! Last thing, for the ferris wheel moment, let's just see what will happen there and if it will really happen. Hehe.
Just one question. Why is it so hard in making an awkward situation? It really did me a lot of thinking just to make one. LOL
