How We Spent the Night (or How Me and the Gang Destroyed the House)
Syaoran
It really hadn't been my fault. It had just been too tempting. Kinomoto Fujitaka had gone off on another of his excavations and Kinomoto Touya was off at his part time job. He had been putting in extra hours and Sakura hadn't been expecting him back until the morning after. Which was all good with me because in the beginning it was just me and her.
Then I saw the guest list.
The doorbell stuck as soon I pressed it. It should have been my first indication. I tapped it and it stuck and the chime went on forever. When Sakura opened the door, hands to her ears irritably, I had my sword out and was blasting the doorbell with some of my lightning. I tried to play it off like I was just practicing but the fizzles and pops of the busted up doorbell told otherwise.
Keroberos, also known as Kero-chan was already making fun of me as I stepped into the house. Something about my sword and where I should stick it next time. Sakura was just happy that the chime wasn't resounding through the house anymore. She invited me in and told me to wait while she finished getting ready.
It was already late in the day, nearing evening. Why she was getting ready at that time flew RIGHT over my head. Maybe a part of me hoped she was getting ready for me. A nice little nightgown. Or a nurse's uniform. Maybe a little leather. Whips. Handcuffs. Chains...
Oh, I'm sorry. I digress.
She came down a bit later all decked out in shorts and a T-shirt. My cheerfulness popped like a balloon. But I motioned for her to sit next to me and asked her what she wanted to do. She shrugged in that innocent little way of hers and brought up something about sex and it being dark, which made my eyes bug out.
SIX, she later informed me, once the hellish night had been over. She had been saying it was SIX and that it was getting dark. Also wondering where everyone else was, which should have been my second indication had I not been sputtering over the sex thing.
Whatever the case, Keroberos, oh Great Guardian of the Seal, was looming over us the whole time anyways, so sex would not have been an option. Only in my wildest dreams was that EVER reality. We were just getting cozy and I couldn't deal because all I saw where the gleaming eyes in the darkness of that DANG stuffed animal. It was like he watched me, and it started getting to the point that everywhere I looked I felt eyes.
I was later told it had been Eriol playing tricks on us again but that really does pop into the story afterwards.
So anyways, we're really getting into...the MOVIE, yeah, when the lights go on suddenly and there's Daidouji Tomoyo, camcorder in hand, looking like she was ready to bawl.
"SAKURA-CHAN! I rang the bell! I called out for you and no one answered! I was SO scared for you-" she was screaming, tears shimmering in her eyes.
I calmly climbed off Sakura and sighed, politely clasping my hands. Sakura had to fix her shirt a bit but she was quick, motioning for the girl to sit down. The little imp sat between us but it's cool. REALLY. Her camcorder would soon meet its demise.
Tomoyo spared me a 'Ha-ha, I got your GIRL' look as she laid her head on Sakura's shoulder and sent her the 'Please comfort me' expression. I tried perfecting it myself, I spent hours in front of the bathroom mirror trying it and yet I couldn't seem to make tears rush to my eyes and pout my lips the same way she did. So I watched as the future Mistress of the Li Clan comforted her best friend with soft words.
It didn't hit me 'til later that we hadn't ACTUALLY heard her calling for Sakura but then again we had been going at it hot and heavy...uh, IT being the math homework, of course! Get your mind out of the gutter! This was NOT an NC-17 fic!
"And I was SOOOO scared! I noticed the door was unlocked and the doorbell was BROKEN and so I walked in and started looking around and I FINALLY found you-" she was whimpering against her friend's shoulder and was it or me or was she reaching a bit high with that hand...?
Then I noticed she had on slippers. House slippers. I paused to think for a moment wondering, 'If she had been REALLY worried would she have paused to slip off her shoes and put on house slippers?' I thought not but after years of knowing Daidouji-san I knew that no matter how much time I wanted to spend alone with Sakura, I'd always find a hidden camera. The girl was clever and innocent, a lethal combination to be sure.
It worried me, it really did.
Anyways, I allowed Daidouji-san to weep on Sakura's shoulder and got up to take a shower. Several things had risen while we had been doing our...uh, global homework, so I figured cold water would fix the problem.
Once inside the bathroom I stripped and started up the water in the shower, pausing to examine myself in the mirror. Thin, tall. Head of a Clan. Yeah, I ruled. I tried the pout again but then sighed in defeat. What was the point?
I slid open the glass door of the shower stall just in time to see feathers fly. That should have alerted me but for some reason it didn't and so I was not prepared for the sight of Keroberos standing on his hind legs in the shower, washing his face.
I swear all of me went numb. ALL of me.
"Hee..." was all the Guardian said, smiling at me with a row of perfectly sharp teeth.
I screamed like a little BITCH. I'm sure my wail echoed throughout the hallways and I actually paused long enough to quietly and politely wrap a towel around my waist before opening my mouth to shriek once more and scampering out of the bathroom.
I ran into Hiiragizawa Eriol in the hallway.
I really wasn't sure at that exact moment whether or not to just walk right back into the bathroom with the stuffed animal. Me and Eriol, we don't really get along. I mean, he's like my height, looks loads more intelligent even though we all know it's only because he's HALF Clow Reed, and he has all these manners that I shoved up somebody else's ass YEARS ago. Well, when we get right down to it, I HATE the guy. So instead, all I did was stare at my half-reincarnated ancestor as he looked me up and down.
Sakura finally reached us, once again fixing her shirt, which caused me to rear up suspiciously. Tomoyo followed at her heels a bit more slowly, buttoning her blouse and then smiling as innocently as Eriol as she finger-combed her hair.
She still had not abandoned the camera.
"Syaoran! SYAORAN!" Sakura cried, embracing me. "Are you all RIGHT? I heard you screaming-"
"From my house," Eriol slipped in smoothly.
"And we came running! We would have been faster but Tomoyo's shirt buttons kept POPPING open and we couldn't seem to fasten them-"
Keroberos quietly came out of the bathroom behind me, turning to tiptoe down the hallway. My martial arts training alerted me to that little detail and I turned to point, one hand holding the towel to my waist, "FREEZE, YOU BLEACH HAIRED-" I began.
And I slipped on the water he had dripped from his extinguished tail.
Legs flying up, I went down hard. I didn't think much of it at the time but when I looked up Tomoyo was taping, Eriol didn't look the slightest bit impressed and Sakura had her eyes covered, face tomato red.
"EEEEEEEP!" she was shrieking behind her hands.
"Generously endowed, are we?" Tomoyo asked gleefully.
I blushed, I know I did, but with Sakura screaming like a BANSHEE And Eriol still just LOOKING at me I couldn't stop myself. "Stop it, already!" I shouted, mainly at Sakura. "It's time you saw it, ANYWAY!"
Sakura looked at me, wide-eyed. The next thing I knew her eyes were rolling into the back of her head and she fainted dead away.
And that was all in the first half hour. It all went downhill from there.
When Sakura regained consciousness I was well on my way to being drunk. I had found her dad's stash and was cheerfully guzzling away. I don't remember much after that so I'll let Tomoyo finish the story.
Tomoyo
First off, I NEVER said Li-kun was 'generously endowed'. He'd probably thought that while looking himself up and down in the mirror. What I actually said was,
"Not enough to be PROUD, I see."
And the whole time I was trying to PRESERVE Sakura's innocence. But anyway, after Sakura fainted we dragged her back down the stairs and laid her out on the couch. Tsukishiro-san was already seated in the living room and he didn't look the least bit surprised when we brought out Sakura. Worried, maybe. Not surprised.
Keroberos scared Yukito right into Yue and Yue is always the life of the party so we were glad to have him.
Poor Eriol. Or maybe not. I think there was the slightest bit of tension in the room when he came.
"I say we string him up over fire and ROAST him. Or over boiling water. Maybe he steams well. Keroberos," Syaoran had called out, gesturing with a three-fourths full bottle of Amaretto. He had pointed to scraps of paper and flammable materials he had compiled in the center of the room. "If you will..."
But that's because not many people know Eriol-kun the way I do. He's quite proper, very sweet. And yes, one-half the reincarnation of Clow Reed but that's HARDLY his fault.
Anyway, as Syaoran did his Dance to call the Rain God around the sudden bonfire in the middle of the room, I wandered off. To tape, of course. Sakura's a darling but taping her drool on her pillow wasn't cute for any more than three minutes, tops. The pool that had accumulated in the end, however...I came by to tape a shot of that afterwards.
VEEEEERY impressive. And she kisses Li-kun with that mouth.
After setting up hidden cameras all throughout the house I came back to join the group. And it had gotten bigger. Akizuki Nakuru had joined the party, bringing her pet.
I mean, bringing along SUPPI-CHAN.
The fire still blazed and I feared it would get out of control soon. But then I remembered that Eriol-kun was a very responsible person and he would find a way to settle everything.
"No, no, no, my descendant. If you want to make the fire BIGGER, you must FAN the flames..."
"Back up OFF me, FOUR EYES!"
So I was content to watch the fire burn. Yue sat on the couch the whole time with his arms crossed over his chest. Keroberos sat beside him like a normal person and I taped a bit of that because I never had seen a Guardian try to act human. But I began to get bored again.
"Where's Touya-kuuuuuuuuun?" Nakuru had asked and I answered the question the first four times. Afterwards I realized she was like a broken record when she didn't like the answer that was given to her. How Eriol put up with her for so many years, I haven't the vaguest.
"We should play a game!" She had then cried and she had leapt to her feet, unknowingly flinging Spinel Sun from her lap into the blaze. Her eyes had widened at that, I caught the expression on tape, zooming in at just the right moment, and THEN finally she swiped at him, pulling him out of Death's reach. "Bad, Spinel Sun! BAD!"
Spinel Sun used that moment to morph into his true form and fire a ruby beam at Nakuru but he missed and burned a hole in the wall. Hey, it wasn't my house, I was just a guest.
"Look what you DID!" Syaoran gasped, mouth hanging open, finger pointing. Then he had burst into laughter, rolling along the ground.
Spinel Sun chased Nakuru around for a little while after that but finally they calmed down, Nakuru dragging Spinel Sun back to the group with her braid wrapped around Suppi-chan's neck like a noose.
"Let's play Truth or Dare!"
I had volunteered to just tape the game thinking them stupid enough to allow me. But Eriol-kun was a fast one.
"Nonsense, Tomoyo-san. I will be GLAD to tape so that you can partake of the festivities."
Ah, what an ingenious mind, almost as corrupted as mine...erm, I mean...
"How about Spin the Bottle instead? We can use this empty bottle..." Nakuru had lifted the empty Amaretto bottle and I swung my camcorder around to see Syaoran snoring on the other side of the fire, the tips of his hair slowly beginning to burn.
Keroberos chose that moment to fling himself at the Brat, stomping on him. "Die, fire! DIE!"
"OI! BAKA!"
"I was trying to SAVE you!"
As I taped this someone grabbed me, ushering me out of the room. I got quite mad at the interruption. FINALLY, there was some action and I get WHISKED off! But it turned out to be Eriol with some serious thoughts on his cute little mind.
Um...I don't remember what happened after this point. It's all a dark blur...yeah. But I had a GREAT time, I know THAT much! I don't know how the game went so maybe someone else can fill in for me?
Sakura
"SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRREEEEEEE........."
