Nakua hummed as she zoomed around through he store, handing package after package of stuff into Ray's outstretched hands. After all Nakura's classes at the college, she had zipped over to the mall. Ray had came along for the sole purpose of being the shopping cart, which really annoyed her.

"What do you think about this," Nakura said, pressing a sweater to her chest. They were at a clothing store so Nakura could look for an outfit for the party.

Ray could barely see over the pile of packages in her hands, but she could see them using her psychic abilities. "It looks fine, but green really isn't your color."

"Point taken," and Nakura put the shirt back on the rack." Come on, let's go."

Ray waddled down the stairs for the store they were in was two storied, nearly spilling the pile of food and decorations. She narrowly avoided dumping the entire pile and she followed Nakura out the door.

The convertible that Eriol had lent the girls sat outside and they dumped the packages in the back seat.

"Did you invite Touya and Yukito?" Ray asked as they cruised down the street.

"Yeah, they both said they were coming," Nakura answered back, her long brown hair being whipped in the wind.

"Good."

Two young men sat in a tan colored room with the walls covered in pictures from the annual Sport Ilustrated swimsuit edition. The room was dimly lit, the only light being the lamp on the desk. Yukito sat on the floor doing his philosophy homework. He was studying to become a therapist for young kids. Touya was stretched out of his purple-sheeted bed doing some work on his report for his Japanese lit. Class. He was going to become a private investigator. Touya had always had hunches and an general understandment of thing he couldn't see or things he didn't know so he decided to put his talents to use.

While Yuki was busy with his homework, Yue was off thinking about some spring-green eyed flower that was just down the hall from him. Ruby had been right about him being obsessed with Sakura. He was, he was sorry to admit. He had a hunch that Nakura would try to get him paired up with Sakura while at the party. He really didn't want her to interfere, but he knew it would be for the best. He was getting sick of watching Sakura from afar. He just wanted to tell her how he felt, but what if she didn't like him in that way? It would put a major strain on him protecting her from the coming dangers that were sure to come up in the future. But if he did tell her, he would be honest with her and himself. He wanted her so badly. He wanted to run his hands trough her silky hair, feel her luscious body against his own, wanted to feel..well we're not going to go there. Touya noticed the far away look in his own lovers eyes and put down his pen he had been writing with.

"Yuki, can I talk to Yue for a second?" he asked.

"Sure," said Yuki, confused why Touya wanted to see his alter ego, but he stood up and a pair of white wings surrounded him. The wings opened to reveal a long-haired boy dressed in a white robe, 2 wings attached to his back. Yue floated down to the ground and he made his wings disappeared.

"Why do you wish to see me?" Yue asked, annoyed that Touya was interrupting his thoughts of his mistress.

As like reading his mind Touya said," I want to ask you about Sakura."

Yue looked at him in shock. Even though Touya had given his powers to Yue several years ago, Touya was extremely sharp, sharper then most people.

"What do you want to know," Yue said mysteriously, his voice conveying no emotion.

"Do you like my sister," Touya said putting it bluntly.

Yue looked him in shock. He had no idea how to answer it. He was screwed either way. "You do ,don't you."

Yue could do nothing but nod. Touya gave a triumphant grin and added," I knew it." He walked over to where Yue stood." So when are you going to tell her."

"Soon," was all Yue said. Touya made sure that no one was outside the door and then looked up at Yue.

"You have to tell her," said Touya, slamming his fist against the solid wood of his desk.

"Why are so bent on getting us together?" asked Yue.

"Syaoran is back in town. She was in love with him. That guy is a fucking bastard to her and she loved him and I think she still might. I trust you with her and I know that you would never hurt her, therefore I want you to be together."

Yue raise his eyebrow in understandment and was going to make a comment when they heard a knock on the door and they jumped.

"Come in," Touya shouted ,leaning on his desk.

Sakura walked in , dressed in her pjs and her hamster slippers. She held in her hands a tray of food to give to Touya because Touya was busy studying while they ate dinner. She jumped slightly at the site of Yue sitting in Touya room. She managed not to scream and she blushed a nice crimson red. She was quite happy to see Yue and the feeling was mutual for Yue. They both were fiercely blushing and Touya smiled. "Thanks for the food.. buh bye," said touya and waved good-bye to her.

"But why is Yue here?" she said as he ushered her out of the door.

"Bye," he said and slammed the door in her face. Touya turned back to face Yue and they contuined their lovely conversation. Sakura walked back to her bedroom and collapsed on her bed in happiness. She got to see her beloved Yue. Kero zoomed over to her to check her temperature to make sure she was okay because her cheeks were so red.

"Are you okay?" Kero asked, generally concerned about his master.

"I'm fine. I got to see Yue," she squealed.

Kero just rolled his eyes. Sakura and Yue were fools for not confessing their love for another. Both of them had told them about their crushes on anotherr but both had sworn him to secretly.

Tomoyo zipped around her room, sewing up the perfect outfit for Sakura. She got out the black material that was to become the outfit and she pinned it and started sewing up the sides. Nakura and Ray watched through the looking glass. They were bored out of their minds and wanted something to do so they were spying on the lives on the ordinary people of the town.

"That reminds me," she said as she stood up and shouted up the stairs," Eriol, can you make me an outfit for the party."

Eriol ran down the stairs, nearly tripping on his own feet. "No, I don't have the time."

"Come on, you have plenty of time," Nakura whined.

"I'm sorry, but I have better things to do then to make you a dress or whatever that you'll only wear once," he said clamly.

Nakura was about to burst into tears. She had never been said no to. Ray noticing her condition said," I'll do it."

"Thank you," Nakura shouted and hugged Ray. She saw Eriol giving her a grateful smile form over Nakura's shoulder.

Nakura broke the hug and looked Ray in the eyes, " Now this is what I wanted," she said and went into some long description of the outfit she wanted made to her and Ray took it all in, making notes in her mind.

Brad stood before all the members of the clan, his elbows leaning on the podium that was in front of him. He was sweating like a pig out of nervousness. Him and Kaho had replayed what they were going to say for hours between their rounds of fun. He cleared his throat, leaning into the microphone, and the clan silenced.

"Members of the clan, we all came here to get the cards and we now finally have a chance to get them. This Friday night, only 2 days away, we will have a chance at them. There will be a party at the mansion of Eriol's and Sakura and the cards will be there. I know as a fact that the human form of the tiger will also be present. WE can take down two of our biggest enemies at once. We shall go as a clan unitied to the front steps of the place and claim what is rightfully is ours. Now I ask you, do you want the cards," Brad screamed in excitement. Cheers of excitement and hope greeted his statement.

"Now, your mission shall be lead by Syaoran, the future leader of our clan for he shall get the cards for us, now let's go give him a hand," Brad said, pasting a fake smile on his face. The clan now faced Syaoran, clapping. Syaoran burrowed his head into his hands. He was greatly surprised by Brad's acknowledgment that he was the rightful leader of the clan. He stared at Brad, trying to figure out if Brad was up to something or not. Brad gave a small grin and Syaoran relaxed. Brad was for real. Inwardly Brad grinned evily. All was going to plan for him and Kaho. The clan slowly filed out, buzzing about his speech and the coming attractions. He followed out and went to out the front door. He jogged a few blocks down to the nearest phone booth and let himself in. He slamed the door shut and punched in Kaho's home number. After one ring, she picked it up.

"Hello," she spoke into the phone.

"It's Brad. Just calling to infrom you that you were right. Syaoran and the rest of the clan did just what you predicted."

"Great," she said unenthusiacally.

"What's wrong?" he asked worried about her. Though he had only meet her last night, it seemed to him that he had known her forever. He had found a fellow person that was sick of helping people profit in life. Now everyone was going to pay for the taking advantage of people like them.

"It's nothing. Just had a bad day at work. My boss was just being a jerk like always."

"Oh," he said sympathetically." I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

"I have to get back to the hotel, they are going to get nervous about where I am so.I'll see you Friday night at your victory party when Syaoran is dead and we are the rulers of the clan."

"Bye."

"Bye," and Brad put down the phone. He noticed for the first time that the booth had fogged up, making it impossible for anyone to see anything. He smiled and walked towards the hotel.

Come Friday night, Sakura stood in Tomoyo's portable dressing room that stood on the curb of the street that led to Eriol's house. She pulled the shirt that Tomoyo had made to her over her head and opened the double doors that led out. She jumped out and found Tomoyo's camera focused on her. She did a little spin to make Tomoyo happy to show off the outfit she had made. It was a new style that Tomoyo was experimenting and Sakura loved it. She wore a short sleeve belly shirt that was completely white except for a huge red bow that was on her chest. The shirt came about to the end of her bra.

On her lower half, she wore a black skirt that resembled a tutu in the way it puffed out. It was extremely short with a gold thread V-pattern with a jewel where the lines meet. Sakura was pretty sure that Tomoyo had taken the idea of the design from a Sailor Moon magna, but she wasn't sure. Tomoyo was wearing a simple gold metallic tube topped dress that came about to her knees. They walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell. they could hear the sound of music raging inside and snow was falling fast. Eriol came to door dressed in a white wife-beater and a pair of cargo pants. He ushered them in and they put their coats in the closet. They could hear the sound of people screaming and yelling form out of the other room. Nakura came barreling out to them, wrapping them both up in a huge bear-hug. She released them and they looked at the outfit in shock that she was wearing. Ray had done her job well of making the outfit. She wore a orange gold creamy halter top and a pair of pants the same color. The pants and shirt sides were laced up completely in brown leather cord.

"What's going on out there?" asked Sakura.

"You see, Eriol bought us a karoke machine for the party?" Nakura said grinning.

"Who's here?" yelled Tomoyo over the now increasing screams.

"Touya, Yue, Rika, Chiharu, Naoko, Yamazaki and Kero. Everyone who invited is here. There's also me, Eriol, and Suppi."

"Yue and Kero? Sakura questioned.

"Yukito wasn't feeling well, but didn't want to deprive Yue of the experience so Yue came. Kero wanted to come because of the food. Anyway, everyone here knows about them so it really doesn't matter."

"Is Ray here?"

"Yeah, she's on the karoke machine."

Nakura pointed the way towards the machine and Sakura and Tomoyo followed her hand. They walked in and saw her from the other side of the room. Ray was dressed a baby-blue wool string bikini top and a pair of guy's boxers with hearts decorated on them. They were shocked to how little she was wearing and the dance moves she did that would put Brittney to shame. Eriol watched their wide open mouth look in amusement. They weren't used to seeing Ray that way like he was. Ray worked at a bar as a stripper for the most part and she did dancing as a living. She was used to getting all the attention and the guys were getting a kick out of the little show she putting on including Yue . She finished up singing the song she was on and she stepped off the table and came over to where Sakura and Tomoyo stood.

"Hey," she said as she grabbed a diet soda from the tray that Suppi was carrying around.

Sakura was about to say hi back when she heard Nakura screaming," Let's play truth or dare."

Eriol stopped the music and switched on the lights. They all gathered into the living rooma and they all sat down on the assorted couches and chairs or sat on the floor. Nakura got a empty bottle from the recycle bin and spun it around to decide who the dare or truth was for. The bottle landed on Chiharu and Nakura pouted. She knew really wanted it to land on Yue because she wanted him to admit his feelings for Sakura.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Exactly how far has you and Yamazaki gone," Nakura said, grinning mischievously.

"Uhhhh.," she said, a small blush creeping up her face .She was thinking about how to put it," Uhhh.all the way."

Everyone laughed and made jokes about it and Chiharu burrowed her head into her knees. The game went on and finally after a half of hour playing, it was finally Nakura's turn again. She telepathically told Ray to make sure it stopped on Yue and she spun the bottle. Ray did what she was told and the bottle stopped on Yue.

"Yue, you once told me that you loved somebody. Who was that person?"

Yue blushed,a picture of Sakura coming to his mind. Sakura looked at him in interest. She didn't even know that he was capable of loving someone. Yue just remained silent, glaring at Nakura.

"Come on, it' not that hard. Just tell us, we won't think any less about you?" she taunted.

"Fine," he muttered, groaning." It's ."

Just then a bell rang announcing the arrival of someone at the gates, asking to be let in.

Nakura stood up and looked out the window. The Li clan had arrived.
