Chapter 6
Christmas Angel
Syaoran walked up to Tomoyo's huge mansion slowly. A figure hurried behind to keep up with him.
"Syaoran! Wait for me!"
Syaoran stopped and turned to look at Meilin. She wore a sleeveless red dress and long red gloves. Her hair was up in the traditional buns, except that she had included the hair that usually hung down by her side in her buns. She walked up next to him.
"Syaoran, you know that I can't move as fast as you can in this dress." Meilin pouted. Then she clung onto his arm. "Please walk slower."
Syaoran sighed and walked up to the door and rung the bell. I wonder if anyone else is here yet. Syaoran thought while he waited for someone to answer the door.
The grand door opened and there stood Tomoyo smiling at them. Syaoran could hear Christmas music flowing out from the house and see several of his classmates inside. "Hi guys. Come on in."
"Are we the last ones here?" asked Meilin.
"Oh, no. We're still waiting for Eriol and a few others." Tomoyo said. "Why don't you just go chill out until they get here and then we'll start the real festivities."
"Sure. Okay." Meilin grabbed Syaoran's arm again. "I'm hungry. Can we get something to eat?"
"Of course. The family room has lots of food you'll like." Tomoyo said.
"Thanks. Come on, Syaoran." Meilin dragged him in the direction of the family room (or where she thought it was).
"Hey, Syaroan. Hey, Meilin. You're here." Came a familiar voice from behind.
It's her. I almost forgot that she was coming here! Syaoran thought. Of course she's here, she's the one who invited you, you idiot!
Not her! Not now! Can she be any more annoying? I needed this party to steal Syaoran's heart! How could I have forgotten that she was going to be here? Meilin, you idiot!
Syaoran and Meilin turned around. They both gasped at what they saw. Sakura stood there in her gown that Tomoyo had made for her, smiling serenely at them. Syaoran turned very red. She looks like an angel!
Gr. Where did she get a dress like that? It's not fair! She must have planned this and searched every store in Japan to get a dress that would make Syaoran like her!
"Did you guys just get here?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah." Syaoran said.
"Come on, Syaoran! I'm still hungry!" Meilin tugged on Syaoran's arm, whining.
"Hey, guys." A voice came from behind the trio.
Sakura turned to see Eriol standing behind her, smiling in his dark blue suit without a tie. He held a hand out to her.
"Do you want to dance?" he asked.
"Uh… sure." Sakura smiled back and took his hand and they walked out to the dance floor where guests were already dancing.
That Eriol! How dare he horn in on my girl! Wait a minute! Since when was Sakura my girl? Syaoran thoughyt.
Meilin noticed the Syaoran glaring at Eriol dancing with Sakura. But this glare was one that she had never seen on his face before. And as much as she hated to admit it, she knew exactly why. It was the expression she herself had worn so many times before when Syaoran was hanging out with Sakura. His face reflected pure jealousy. He had never been jealous before in his entire life. All the more reason to get Syaoran to stay away from Sakura. Eriol may not know it, but he's helping me. Just like Touya is.
"Come on, Syaoran. Don't you want some food too?" Meilin pressed.
"No, I don't. You go get some food and I'll be right here when you get back." Syaoran's tone was gentle, but his gaze never left Eriol and Sakura.
Sighing, Meilin walked over to get some food when she bumped into Joel, a boy in their class. "Oh, sorry. Are you okay?" he asked. He had caught her before she had fallen.
"Oh, that's okay." Meilin said, blushing.
"Hey, do you want to…" he trailed off, blushing as well.
"What?" Meilin encouraged.
"Do you want to dance?" Joel asked.
"Um…" Meilin looked at Syaoran, who was still glowering. Then she looked at Joel. He looked so hopeful and he was really nice to her. One dance wouldn't hurt. She smiled at him. "Sure, I'd love to."
"You will? Great." Joel seemed very flustered.
"Just let me tell my cousin, first. He can be very over protective at times." Meilin lied.
"Syaoran," Meilin approached him. He didn't look at her, but she could tell that he was listening. "I'm going to go dance with Joel now. Is that okay with you?"
Syaoran turned to look at Meilin, surprised. "You want to dance with Joel?" he asked.
"Yeah, is that okay with you? Because if you don't want me to I won't." Meilin said quickly.
Syaoran smiled at her. "Don't worry about it. Go have fun."
"Thanks Syaoran." Meilin hugged him. Then she pranced over to where Joel stood waiting patiently for her, and they walked out onto the dance floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the Dance Floor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"May I cut in?" asked Tomoyo politely.
Eriol looked at her in surprise. He stared at Tomoyo. Sakura smiled at Eriol. "It's fine with me."
"I… guess." He said slowly. Tomoyo smiled at him brightly and Eriol resumed dancing, only this time flushing a bit at Tomoyo's touch.
Sakura grinned at the site. You know, those two would make a great couple. She giggled at the thought of it. As she made her way back to the sidelines, she spotted Syaoran sitting alone in deep thought. But Meilin was nowhere to be seen. Sakura decided to go over and see what Syaoran had on his mind.
"Syaoran?"
"Huh?" Syaoran looked up, surprised. His face turned red when he saw who it was. "W- where's Eriol?"
Sakura giggled. "He's dancing with Tomoyo."
"Tomoyo?!" Syaoran searched the crowd and quickly found Eriol and Tomoyo. What surprised him was that he was blushing and was moving bit rigidly. Syaoran smirked. Looks like Eriol has a crush.
"So, where's Meilin?"
"Huh? Oh, she's dancing with Joel." Syaoran said, pointing to the smiling Meilin and the slightly blushing Joel.
"Well, that's not very fair." Sakura said.
"What?! Why isn't it fair?" asked Syaoran in surprise.
"She left you here all alone." Sakura protested.
Syaoran nearly fell off the bench in disbelief and embarrassment. "Sakura, I'm fine. Really, I don't mind."
"Don't be silly," Sakura smiled at Syaoran cheerfully. "Why don't you come dance with me?"
Syaoran turned redder than a tomato. "W-w-what?!" he stuttered.
"Come on." She grabbed his hand before he could protest further. "You'll have fun, I promise." Then without another word she led him onto the dance floor.
Though a bit awkward at first, the two danced and as the time passed, so did the tension and they both got more comfortable dancing with each other. Soon they were enjoying the party the most of them all and it was as if they were the only two on the dance floor.
