AUTHUR'S NOTE: I hope you enjoy this chapter. PLEASE REVIEW and tell me what ya'll think!!!!!!!.



"The final death toll for Saturday nights massive earthquake is a heartrending total of 130 lives. Experts at Japan's Earthquake Watch said that they had absolutely no warning of this killer until it was sadly too late. Our prayers here at JWBC (Japan world broadcasting) goes out to all the mourning families. In other news today Downtown Tokyo is buzzing with busy shop and restaurant owners who are getting ready for the arrival of many important or in other words Wealthy guests attending the Opening of millionaire Hark's new Five star Hotel and the celebration of Mayor Win Chow's Birthday" women said

"I hear that guests include the commissioner and The Famous Li Xiao Lang which no one has seen before, Security will be incredibly tight," a man said

"Hai indeed it will but we were lucky enough to get photographer Javari Suzuki and Camera man Raddez Tien on the inside" same women said

"And you of course as their reporter" The man said

"Indeed I was lucky enough. Tonight on the 7 o'clock news we will bring you live footage from the discovery of a Tomb that is reported was not mentioned in History. This is Titian Mocha"

"And Jean Kroger reporting for JWBC News have a good morning" the TV said out in the living room as quiet sobbing could be heard in the Kitchen.

"I can't believe their gone, it doesn't seen far at all, does it?" Sakura said through tears. They had just gotten the news from Tomoyo that Tai and Lita hadn't made it out alive. She was now in the arms of Syaoran who was trying to hush her sobs. He too felt angry and sad too but didn't show it after all Tai was like a brother to him.

"I know it doesn't, but there was nothing we could have done to prevent it" Syaoran reassured.

"Tomoyo and others already brought flowers to the club, we're the only ones left to do so except Rika but she's out of town" Sakura said wiping her tears away "Wendy won't talk to anyone, I don't think that I would want to talk either"

"She come around soon, she just needs enough time to mourn. Why don't we pick up some flowers and go to the club before we go to for your new phone and your dads" Syaoran suggested smiling.

"Yeah that's a good idea. Did my dad say why he wanted to see you?" Sakura asked. Her phone dead from being drenched so they had to buy a new one and switch it over.

"No but he said that he needed to see Eriol and me at noon so that gives us a lot of time" Syaoran answered as they headed out to the living room "I think their heading out to the site again"

"Yeah. Do you think we should tell Touya about us being engaged today?" Sakura asked looking up at him. (She only reached to his shoulder)

"Yeah if you want to, he's gonna find out eventually" Syaoran stated "He'll most likely be mad at first but he'll got over it"

"Ok. I hope we don't go deaf" Sakura replied smiling as she picked up her bag and walk beside Syaoran to the door.

"Me too" Syaoran said closing the door. They went to the flower shop and bought a two dozen white roses then they headed to the phone provider to get Sakura's phone switched over to the new one.





When they got to what remained of the club there was flowers, candles, and pictures placed there for those who lost their lives and it was mostly young people, their wasn't anyone over the age of 22. They placed the roses where Tai's family had put a memorial up and then went to Litas'. Sakura wiped a stray tear away when she saw the picture of her late friend.

"You know at the game I over heard her say was we were so lucky that we had someone (sniff) but Tomoyo told her that she would find someone… but I guess she was wrong. She was soo happy when she asked Tai to dance and he said yes, she loved him you know…When they were dancing her face shone with pure happiness…you should have seen the smile on her face" Sakura stated wiping a tear away "Now she'll never find her True love"

"She might not have found her love here but didn't you say that she loved Tai, at least they're together. He loved her too he was just blind. Come on let' s go" Syaoran said hugging her to him.

"I sure hope so"







"Fujitaka you in here?" Fasmine asked knocking on his office door.

"Yes Fasmine come in" Came his reply. She entered and saw him at is desk.

"I heard Touya say that you were having problem deciding what to give Sakura for her graduation gift" Fasmine said walking up to next to him.

"Yes if she was younger I wouldn't have such a hard time but she is so grown. Do you have any suggestions?" Fujitaka replied rubbing his eyes.

"Maybe there's something in the stuff we found in the tomb" Fasmine suggest handing him the box with the stuff.

"I never really thought of that," Fujitaka said taking the box.

"I'm sure there's something inside their, my personal favorite was the bracelet with the pearl" Fasmine stated smiling. He took it out and looked at it carefully.

"Yes it is quite beautiful, thank you," Fujitaka said placing it in his draw to clean later.

"It's quite all right, I'm sure she'll be love it. Did you call the boys?" she asked as they went out in the kitchen were the others were.

"Yes they will be over at noon or probably earlier, if they can't help us no one can" Fujitaka answered. 'Wonderful this is going faster then I had planned' she thought smiling inwardly.





They had to park in front of the house because they was four extra cars in the drive way, she recognized one as Touyas and the other one Xin which made her frown but the other wasn't familiar.

"Otou-san, nii-san" Sakura called out as Syaoran closed the door behind them.

"In here Sakura" came her father's voice from the kitchen. When they entered the kitchen they saw her dad, Yukito, Touya, Fasmine, Xin and two other women looking over some stuff.

"Yukito what are you doing here?" Sakura asked

"Hey guys, I'm gonna assist your dad on this trip and I'm gonna stay for your grad." Yukito answered smiling. Sakura and Syaoran made the mistake of holding hands.

"What's the gaki doing holding your hand?" Touya growled, birds scattered and the people of Japan panicked thinking it was another earthquake, everyone in the house winced fearing that they would go deaf.

"He has more then enough right to hold my hand" Sakura answered not letting go.

"And why the hell is that?" Touya yelled shooting daggers at Syaoran.

"Because she's my fiancée" was all Syaoran said glaring back at back.

"Oh that's wonderful, it's about time too" Yukito congratulated.

"Sakura I'm so happy for you" Fasmine said smiling as she hugged Sakura. Touya stood there silent as his brain tried to process all the data carefully before he did any thing.



Outside…

Tomoyo and Eriol had just arrived and were about to knock on the door when all hell broke lose…

Inside….

"What did you just say?!?!?" Touya yelled jumping over the counter.

Outside…

"It seems that Touya got the news," Eriol said smiling as Tomoyo dished out her camera.

"Come on I don't want to miss this" Tomoyo exclaimed rushing in the house while Eriol just took his time.

"You heard me perfectly" Syaoran stated stressing the word, as he clenches his fist.

"You had better run gaki cause I'm going to kill you… Sakura get out of my way" Touya growled balling fists.

"Hey Eriol, Tomoyo" Yukito greeted smiling.

"Hey Yukito, Fujitaka, Fasmine, everyone" Eriol replied smiling.

"Hello" was all Tomoyo said as she taped.

"Hi Eriol it's been a while" Fujitaka said smiling before their attention was drawn back to the problem at hand.

"I said get out of the way" Touya repeated cause Sakura hadn't bugged.

"Iie nii-san, I'm not moving. Why can't you just accept it like everyone else," Sakura stated standing in front of Syaoran as she held onto his hand.

"Because he will just hurt you, you deserve better now please just move" Touya yelled taking a step forward.

"Syaoran would never hurt me and you very well know that, we deserve each other and we will get married with or with out YOUR approval but I rather with" Sakura said holding her tears back.

"Touya you know that I would never hurt her, I love her too much, and you know that no matter what you do I will never leave her" Syaoran said stepping out from behind Sakura. He stood right in front of Touya, each glared at the other (they were almost the same height) but not one quivered under the others deadly stare.

"I know… your like a leach, I thought that I had gotten rid of you but after fives years you came back" Touya said sighing "It's no use, I know that no matter what I do I'll never be able to separate you" he added feeling light headed.

"Oh thank you Nii-san, this means so much to me" Sakura said hugging him "Touya!" she yelled as he passed out on her. If it weren't for Syaoran both of them would have fallen to the ground. Eriol and Yukito help bring him to the living room with a worried wife and father behind while Sakura got a wet cloth to put on his forehead.

"Is he ok?" Fasmine asked worriedly when he started to come about.

"Yeah he's fine just a little weak" Yukito answered but he knew better.

"I told him he's been working too hard, he's so stubborn" Fasmine said glancing at Xin who merely smiled in return.

"I'm fine. I feel better" Touya reassured as he got up.

"You scared me" Sakura exclaimed.

"I'm fine kaijou" Touya replied.

"Good. Sakura no kaijou" she said stomping on his foot then kicked him in the shin making him curse under his breath. Yukito was about to ask to talk to Syaoran and Eriol but Fasmine beat him to it.

"Come on guys, we have a map to look over" Fasmine said smiling. Yukito glanced at the guys before they went into the kitchen. Sakura knew something was up because she felt Eriol and Syaoran's aura change.

"Sakura I have your gown for the event all ready and the one for Prom is finished too" Tomoyo exclaimed to her friend.

"Yeah that's wonderful I can't wait to see them" Sakura replied smiling.

"Your gonna look so Kawaii in them especially the one for Tuesday" Tomoyo added all starry eyed, Sakura could only sweat dropped at her friend.

"So did you find anything" Sakura whispered.

"Oh yeah that the best part my mother's friend has this house for sale, he said we could use for free, it's a 6 bed 6 bath. We can go check it out later, we just have to bring our own bed spreads and towels" Tomoyo answered smiling.

"That's great. Thanks Tomoyo" Sakura said hugging her friend.

"It's ok. My mom said that she'll go with your dad to pick them up"





"Kids I like to introduce Miss Lila and her daughter Lily" Fujitaka said pointing to a middle age blonde hair women and a younger version of her, everyone got acquainted.

"There's suppose to be a hidden tomb in somewhere inside the one we found but we can't seem to find the entrance" Fujitaka stated as they looked over the map and photographs taken.

"I think it would help a lot if you turn the map right side up" Syaoran suggested doing so "these symbols here show the direction, these symbol mean its from around the Han dynasty" he added.

"Yeah it is but I don't recall there being any mention of this tomb" Eriol stated getting a weird look from the ones who don't know bout him "I studied their history" he covered up smiling, they nodded in understanding as the others sighed in relief.

"That's because they didn't want anyone to find it, look at these warnings right here actually there all over the walls" Syaoran said showing them "I think whatever is in there they really feared"

"Yes we know all about curses all tombs have them but they're never really true" Fujitaka reassured.

"Does it say how to get in?" Lila asked

"Yes. It says that if you out the key in, that's if you do have the key, right when day becomes night" Eriol said translating it.

"That would be at sunset" Fujitaka stated " I don't see why I didn't get it earlier"

"Any later then that and your guys will most likely get fried from these holes right here" Syaoran said pointing them out.

"The gaki is actually got for something" Touya stated as Lily packed up the charts and things they would need. As cell phones started to ring, Eriol and Syaoran excused themselves from the room.

"Their still in school?" Lila asked shocked.

"Yep. And their already loaded and running businesses" Touya answered as if it wasn't a big deal.

"As you can see they are highly, highly educated. I have more complex discussions with them then any grown men I know. They were trained to be men at an early age but were sadly robbed of a child hood.

"And that fact that they are the worlds most powerful sorcerers doesn't really matter" Yukito muttered under his breath.

" Your daughter is very lucky it's every mothers dream for her daughter to marry into a wealthy family" Lila stated.

"I know I'm lucky but not because of his status but who he is as a person" Sakura stated as she finished packing her father a meal for the trip.

"You make him sound perfect," Xin said in a mean tone

"I never said he was perfect, no ones perfect he has his faults like everybody" Sakura answered.

"Ohayo Mr. Kinomoto and everybody," Takashi said walking in the kitchen followed by Yang who waved hi to everybody.

"Tak, Yang its nice to see you" Fujitaka said

"Hey Sakura my dad wants to know if you'd like to work for him, he likes the way you conned those guys into lowing the price" Yang said giving her a high five.

"Yeah well your dad is out of luck cause she's already with the Li Corporation" Syaoran said from the door.

"Syaoran man just the person we wanted to see, is Eriol here too?" Yang asked

"Yeah what is it?" Syaoran asked

"Tak my man wants us to go with him to talk to the scouts" Yang answered slapping Takashi on the back.

"Sure I guess that's if Mr. Kinomoto is finished with us" Syaoran said. Fujitaka nodded yes to his question.

"Sakura I forgot to tell you and Tomoyo that Chiharu wants to see you, she's outside with Rika" Takashi said in a serious tone. They excused themselves and left to see why Takashi a person who is never serious was.

" I don't like the way your eye keeps on flowing my baby sister" Touya whispered in a cold tone to Xin " Your wasting your time she'll never leave that gaki for you and I wouldn't want her to"

"I thought that you didn't like Li" Xin replied.

"You thought wrong if you think that I'm over protective your so wrong, Syaoran has very little patience when it comes to guys eyeing her or even worst making her upset" Touya answered smirking.

"Did you know that whispering was inven…" Takashi said

"Takashi!" Fujitaka, Touya, Yukito, Yang and Syaoran exclaimed making the others sweat drop

"Ok. Ok. I'm leaving come on guys lets go find Eriol and get going, I have a feeling I'm not appreciated round here"

" Hey you have to admit it beats getting banged on the head by Chiharu" Yang joked as they left.

" I take it they've got money too" Lila said.

"Well Yang does and I heard that Takashi got a really great scholarship to college for soccer" Yukito answered.

"Where did you meet them all, you seem like a normal family" Lila said.

"Some how my sister attracted them from when they were still in primary school, the heck if I know how she got two from China and one from England to permanently reside here" Touya answered.



Meanwhile outside…

All the girls were packed inside Takashi's Jeep wrangler comforting a devastated Rika.

"You know after what happened on Saturday I took the first train to the country to be with Yoishiyuki and to get to know his family" Rika said sobbing " I saw the signs when he was around her, but I just ignored them. He would laugh more, they had all these stories and things to talk about from the past"

"Oh Rika" Tomoyo said trying to comfort her.

"His family especially his mother already loved her while I had to suck up to them, I sacrificed so much and went through so much to be with him and he never really loved me" Rika choked out.

"How could he do this to you, just wait until I give him a piece of my mind" Chiharu said angrily.

"Rika, if he did that to you that means that he doesn't deserve your care and most of all your love, I know that it hurts a lot now but you'll heal cause he wasn't the right one" Sakura stated wiping her tears away.

"Sakura's right, just wait until you do meet the right one, heck you probably already know him" Naoko added from the front seat.

"We're sisters heck we're even closer then real sisters, we argue, tease, compete, use what the other is afraid of to scare them like ghosts" Naoko said emphasizing the word

"Mou stop making fun of me" Sakura whined making everyone laugh.

"But most importantly we're always there for each other" Naoko concluded.

"Absolutely… When one is sick, angry or sad Rika, in trouble or just causing it Tomoyo, scaring people Naoko or just plain love sick Sakura we're always there for each other" Chiharu declared standing up

"Or when one was being naughty and is now baking a 'did you know' in her tummy" Tomoyo added smirking

"That too" Chiharu squeaked blushing as she sat back down making everyone laugh.

"You know we should have sleep over like after Prom or something, to spend time together without guys. We can share secrets and tell stories"

"Yeah that's a great idea, I'll be in charge of that. We can have if at my house" Tomoyo stated with the others nodding in agreement.

"You guys are the best frien…No best sisters that anyone could ever want, I know it hurts now but I'll heal" Rika said wiping her tears away "and I'll start by finding a hot date for prom"

"That's the Sasaki Rika I know" Tomoyo exclaimed hugging her.

"I know who you can go with," Sakura said jumping out of the back.

"Who?" Rika asked the others just shrugged watching Sakura race inside. They were all speechless when they saw Sakura return with Yukito (in my story they all had a crush on him. Um. Sorry to all the T/Y fans)

"Yukito?" Rika squeaked blushing. He was one hot guy and they still couldn't figure out how he was still single.

"Hi Rika. I would be honored to take you since as your date cancelled" Yukito said smiling, his o so charming smile (hey I think he's hot just like Eriol but I'm an all out Syaoran FAN)

" Ar. Arigato if it's not too much trouble" Rika said squeezing Tomoyo's poor hand.

"It's no problem, I never have a problem a companying such a beautiful lady like yourself, I'll talk to Syaoran and see what the plan is by the way what color is your dress" Yukito replied making her blush even more.

"Red"

"I'll be seeing then, ladies" Yukito said before leaving.

"Sakura I can't believe you did that" Rika exclaimed as Tomoyo nursed her hand.

"What are you upset?" Sakura asked

"No I'm not at all, there's only one problem"

"What's that?" Naoko asked.

"He's going to be there and most likely with her"

"What?!? What nerve but really want to see how she looks. It doesn't matter Rika this is your only prom ever, go and have a good time show him that your strong not a weakling" Tomoyo stated.

"She's right live up to the saying that says 'your not a fiery redhead for nothing'" Chiharu added confidently.

"You guys are right, This is suppose to be the best years of my life, I've wasted so many on him, I'm not going to waste this special night worrying" Rika spat her eyes burning with determination.

"Of course we're right" Chiharu said giggling as Naoko turned 'I wanna be bad' by Willa Ford that was playing on the radio really loud.

"This is the perfect song come on lets dance" Chiharu said jumping out of the jeep followed by Naoko and Tomoyo.

"We don't want them to have all the fun right?" Rika said to Sakura

"Of course not" Sakura replied. People that were outside watched as five crazy girls danced in the middle of the road laughing.

"Even when there's no game there still at it" Syaoran said watching them.

"Yep that's cheerleaders for ya" Takashi added

"Its seems to me that their celebrating" Eriol stated video taping them.

"Hey kaijuus stop scaring the neighbors" Touya yelled

"We're not kaijuus" they all yelled making everyone laugh

"Lucky they didn't stomp on your foot and kick you in your shine" Syaoran said smirking.



"I'll see you on Wednesday since as we'll be getting back late tomorrow" Fujitaka said giving Sakura a hug.

"Hai tou-san, be careful. I'll leave the flight information on the refrigerator ok?" Sakura whispered to him, he nodded in understanding. Sakura watched as car after car pulled out when they were gone they pulled the cars into the driveway. Tomoyo had been nice enough to drive Sakura's car over.

"We have to get going now we'll see you guys later" Syaoran said to the girls.

"Yeah, if ya'll come back and we're not here go right in" Sakura said. She had given Syaoran keys a long time ago.

"Where are you guys going?" Eriol asked.

"We don't know yet but we'll think of something" Tomoyo answered.

"Good enough come guys lets go. We can take my ride" Yang said letting go of Naoko.

"Take my car if ya'll go out" Syaoran said handing Sakura his keys.

"Okay" Sakura said giving him a peck on the lips before he and the others left in Yang's champagne Explorer (I'm putting all the cars I like).



"So what are we going to do?" Chiharu asked. They were all currently sitting the living room doing absolutely nothing.

"I know we can go check out this house we're using a couple of days, just to see if there is anything we need to do" Tomoyo suggested smiling.

"A house for what?" Rika asked

"Well we're getting the house for Syaoran's family, they're coming for his graduation. It's a surprise" Sakura answered smiling.

"Oh that's so sweet" Chiharu exclaimed.

"Can you imagine the look on his face. This is the first time your meeting them right?" Naoko asked.

"Yeah I've only spoken to his mom on the phone but she seems really nice" Sakura answered.

"I hope you have better luck then me," Rika said sadly.

"Hey wait a minute, there's five of us and four cars" Tomoyo exclaimed.

"Yeah so?" Chiharu asked

"Well how bout we split up, do what ever we have to do and then meet at the house to see how it looks" Tomoyo suggested.

"Well I do have to go pick up my dress and stuff from Terada's house" Rika stated.

"If you don't have anything to do Chiharu you can go bye some food for the place" Tomoyo suggested knowingly.

"Sure" Chiharu exclaimed her eyes lighting up.

"Great I'm sure Sakura can make a list for you. I'll go home and get some extra hands" Tomoyo said smiling.

"I'll make the list for you, and then I'll go and see if dad put the bed spreads I asked for in my room, then Naoko and I will come" Sakura stated.

"Come on I'll write the address out for ya'll while Sakura makes the list. While making the list the phone rang.

"Moshi Moshi" Sakura said answering her cell.

1 "Ying Fa"

1.1 "Hello Mrs. Li"

"Have you got a pen handy"

"Yes I do" Sakura answered getting paper to write

"Good. We arrive at 8 am Wednesday on China Air (note" if there is no china air sorry)

"Great my dad and Mrs. Daidouji will be there to waiting for you. You can't miss them both have black hair and my dad is tall and wears glasses"

"Well we won't be hard to distinguish from the crowd. Just look for one serious looking lady, I'm sure you know how Wei looks and four energetic young women"

"Ok. I'm sorry that we won't be there but I will bring Syaoran over to the house as soon as we get back"

"It's quite alright, please bring Eriol too, he is after all part of our family"

"Hai. I will tell Eriol"

"Arigato Ying Fa, bye"

1.2 "Bye" Sakura said hanging up

"She wants to see Eriol?" Tomoyo asked

"Yeah he is after all part of their family" Sakura answered

"I didn't know that they were family" Rika said

"So that's why he's tease Syaoran, who would have thought" Chiharu said.

"Well here you guys go come on lets get a move on it we don't have all day" Tomoyo said handing out the address. They all headed out leaving Sakura and Naoko.

"Um. Naoko why don't you packed some stuff to snack on while I go see if my dad put the stuff in my room" Sakura suggested.

"Ok" Naoko said getting the basket. Sakura sighed in relief and rushed upstairs to her room to create the stuff she would need. She grabbed the magazine on her bed and flipped through some pages before seeing a set that she liked. "Create come forth" Sakura ordered, the card came forth and bowed to it's mistress " hello create, I have a task for you, see this here, I need to make 24 towels, six mats, 12 pillows and six bed sets like this but of all different colors. Can you do that for me?" Sakura asked. The card nodded smiling and got to work, Sakura stood back and watch it make them extremely fast but half way through she could hear Naoko calling here then footsteps on coming towards her. She panicked when she knocked on the door and started to turn the knob.

"Sakura I asked if you needed help" Naoko said poking her head through the door to see Sakura behind a lot of stuff.

" Yeah sure, there's a lot here" Sakura replied as second before Naoko opened the door create finished and returned. They got to work packing the stuff, Rika took Sakura's car.

"That's everything," Naoko said closing the house door.

"Nope that's everything, come on lets go this house is on the beach" Sakura said getting in.

"I love big cars" Naoko said.

"Yeah me too but I have to pull the seat way up to reach the gas" Sakura said giggling, the radio was currently playing shakira's whenever wherever' as they pulled up to a red light.

"Are all Seijou High girls as gorgeous as you too" a guy in a f150 yelled.

"Are all Tomoeda High guys this load?" Sakura yelled back noticing that his hat said so 'they must have seen the sticker I on the back'

"Only when we see beautiful girls in expensive rides. I see your going the same place as me" he yelled as his friends in the back made Wolf howls at them.

"Oh is that so, Ja ne" Sakura said pulling off. Unfortunately for them the guys were going right next door to where the house was.

"Wow this place is so beautiful and for sale too" Naoko said in awe, as they drove through the gates towards the white two story house, there was a fountain in the front with a round drive way (you know the semi circular ones), and gardens in the front yard.

"And it looks like Tomoyo and the others have just arrived too" Sakura said seeing them take some of the stuff Chiharu had bought with the money Sakura had given her.

"It's about time you too arrived. Celesta, Rose and Monee come help with these when you are done" Tomoyo said to her helpers.

"Hai Miss Tomoyo" they all said.

"I checked out this place and there really isn't much to do, the owner had the place cleaned before he left so all we have to do is dust and make the beds" Tomoyo explained "that should be a piece of cake"

"Can you please put the gold in the master bed." Sakura asked. They all got to work and it took them exactly three hours to make the place shine. Sakura was looking the around to make sure everything was in order before they left when her phone rang.

"Moshi Moshi"

"Sakura where are you guys?" came Syaoran's voice.

"Um. We're on a little outing we're on our way back just give us five minutes"

"Ok Ja" he said hanging up.

"the guys are back and want to know where we are I think we should get going" Sakura yelled down stairs.

"Ok we'll be outside waiting for you" Tomoyo yelled back when Sakura's phone rang again.

"Moshi Moshi"

"Hello Miss Kinomoto" came a man's voice.

"Who is this?" Sakura asked clueless as she walked down the stairs.

"Forgotten me already. Mr. Li denied me meeting you"

"How it is that you got my number Mr. Ruijang" Sakura asked.

"You're listed. Would you mind telling me what hotel you're staying in for the party?"

"I don't know, I must be going now and I would like it if you did not call me again" Sakura said before hanging up

When she reached outside she saw the same guys that were hitting on her and Naoko.

"Are you guys ready?" Sakura asked.

"Um. Guys this is Sakura, Sakura this is mark and his friends. He lives next door" Tomoyo introduced.

"I was right all Seijou High girls are beautiful" mark said smiling "Are you guys moving in?"

"No we're borrowing the house for some guests, special guests" Naoko answered.

"It's was nice to meet you mark but I'm afraid that we must be going before we get in trouble" Sakura said locking the door.

"It was nice meeting you lovely ladies and I can't wait till I see you again" mark said before he and his friends left. They all got in their cars and left, the gate locked automatically after them.

"Guys?" Sakura called as they all entered the house.

"It's about time you guys got here," Eriol said coming out of the kitchen.

"So how did the meeting go?" Chiharu asked

"Well it went very well but because you weren't here when we got back we're losing time on the road" Takashi answered.

"What?" Chiharu asked

"Well we have to go to Tokyo for a couple of days to find a place, they want us to head out there as soon as possible" Takashi answered.

"But what about my parents?" Chiharu asked trying not to sound excited.

"Their ok with it now can we please get a move on" Takashi answered smiling.

"Of course, we'll see you guys at Grad." Chiharu said smiling.

"Yeah have fun finding your first place" Yang said before they left. Yang, Naoko and Rika left soon after.



"Did you see the look Yukito gave us when he checked out Touya?" Eriol asked Syaoran in the living room, the girls were upstairs packing some clothes for the trip.

"Yeah it's like he was telling us that it wasn't a normal fainting spell" Syaoran answered.

"I don't feel anything but we'll find out when he comes back" Eriol stated when the girls came downstairs.

"We'll be meeting Yang and Naoko at the hotel right?" Tomoyo asked

"Yeah. I think that they're leaving today so that they came explore Tokyo before us" Eriol answered walking to the door.

"So we'll all meet there then, I doubt that were leaving the same time and a it's a five hour drive" Sakura said at the door.

"Iie we'll meet here at 2 pm" Syaoran said to them.

"Yeah that's ok. Kero is staying at my house right?" Eriol asked.

"Yeah he's been going there a lot lately. Ja ne guys" Sakura said to the as they left.

"Well it's just you, and me what do we do now?" Syaoran asked closing the door.

"I'm sure we'll think of something" Sakura said pinning him to the door.

"I'm sure" Syaoran said kissing her when his phone rang.

"Guess we'll have to wait till later, I'll go make us dinner" Sakura said walking away.

"I'm really starting to hate this phone" Syaoran whispered in frustration…





Next day…

"I'm coming" Sakura yelled locking the door, as usual she was late and Syaoran was in his car waiting for her. The others had already left.

"It's about time" Syaoran joked as Sakura placed her bag in the back with his suit and bag before rushing to the passenger side.

"Well hello to you too" Sakura said giving him a kiss.

"Hello" Syaoran said when they broke from it.

"How come you didn't tell me Ruijang called for me?" Sakura asked

"I didn't think it was important and you were talking with Rika. How'd you know he called?" Syaoran asked driving.

"He called me yesterday and asked me what hotel I was staying at, I told him I didn't know and not to call me back" Sakura answered reclining the seat.

"Don't worry after tonight I doubt he'll dare call you back" Syaoran said glancing at Sakura who was dosing off. "beautiful" he whispered looking at his angel. Sakura slept the entire way, she slowly woke up to the sound of cars, talking and honking.

"Syaoran?" she whispered rubbing her eyes sitting up. She slipped on her sandals on before getting out, she was wearing a jeans skirt, a pink top and a bandanna. She looked at the beauty of the hotel. Inside was luxurious and it seemed to be very expensive because the people inside were all dressed classy.

"Are you lost ma'am? Is there something I can help you with?" the door guy asked.

"No thank you" Sakura said going back outside to sit in the door because the people going in and out of the hotel would look at her. She watched as limo after limo pulled in and out 'a lot of the people attending must be staying here'

"Why didn't you come inside?" Syaoran asked walking up with a bag boy.

"I was waiting for you to come back" Sakura answered

"The others have already checked in but Tomoyo and Naoko went out" Syaoran said. " on lets go to our room. This is the hotel their celebrating tonight, the funny thing is that their not having the gathering here their having it in another one" he said. Sakura moved closer to him when people started to look at her.

"Is something wrong?" Syaoran asked looking down at her.

"Iie" Sakura answered.

"Don't feel nervous about them looking at you, it's because your absolutely beautiful" Syaoran stated as they started to walk again.



"Syaoran this suit is beautiful" Sakura said looking around. Their room had a sitting area separate from the bedroom that had a king size bed and a huge bathroom.

"That's why I got it, I know you would love it" Syaoran said hugging her from behind.

"You're the best you know"

"I know I know" Syaoran joked making Sakura slap him on the arm. It was already getting dark out and they could barely see the searchlights in the sky from where they would be going tonight.

"I'm nervous about tonight"

"There's no need to be, just be yourself and everything will be fine" Syaoran answered when someone knocked on the door "it's open"

"Hey Syaoran can we borrow Sakura for awhile? The straps on Naoko's shoe broke so we're going to Tokyo's famous shopping center" Tomoyo said starry eyed "Do you want to come?"

"Ok" Sakura, said "This way you can get some rest before we leave"

"It seems that they have figured out that Syaoran is staying here, it's a good thing they don't really know what he looks like" Eriol said as him and Yang walked.

"Well it had to happen sooner or later. I'll see you later" Syaoran said

"Yeah. Bye" Sakura said giving him a quick kiss before leaving.



They were driven to a place that looked like New York City because of all the shops. "Wow this place is awesome," Naoko said getting out of the limo.

"Yeah I know so we're are we going first?" Sakura asked getting out behind her.

"You guys can get her shoes, I need to go buy stuff, we'll be here in one hours time" Tomoyo said to them then the driver who nodded before leaving.



"What do you thin about these? They make me almost the same height as Yang" Naoko said showing Sakura a very nice pair of heels. "Plus they are comfy"

"Yeah they look nice and if you like them then get them" Sakura replied "Tomoyo should be back soon"

"Ok lets get them," Naoko said as they went to the cashier but bumped into someone "Oh I'm sorry"

"Watch were your going, god I just had my nails done for an important event I can't afford to have them ruined" the red hair girl yelled.

"She said she was sorry. We didn't mean to bumped into you" Sakura said the girl finding her rude.

"Whatever come girls" she said walking off.

"What low lives" a black hair girl said making them laugh.

"How rude" Naoko said paying the lady for her shoes.

"Don't let them get to you, they're that way to everyone. If she didn't spend a lot of money her I would personally tell her off" the cashier said "And she's gotten worse ever since she got married to a wealthy man"

"So she's going to the big event tonight?" Naoko asked getting her change.

"Only because her dad is considered to be important, the man she married wasn't invited" the cashier answered.

"How is it that you know all this?" Sakura asked

"Her so called friends come in here and talk all her business, it seems that even they can't stand her, poor thing" cashier said "Nice doing business with ya, have a nice day"

"Thank you" Naoko said before they left.

"Hey did you guys find the shoes?" Tomoyo asked running up to them.

"Yeah" Naoko answered

"I can't believe it took us one hour to find shoes" Sakura exclaimed as they walked back to where they were suppose to meet the driver.





When they got back to the hotel Tomoyo made Eriol get ready in Sakura's room because she needed the room for them to get ready.

"I take it my gown is either gold or white" Sakura stated, after all her nails were painted gold and her eye shadow was gold. Naoko already dressed her hair had wanton waves in it and her gown was a strapless, black dress that went down to the floor and it had a silver strip going across the top. Tomoyo was wearing a dress that was white at the top but faded into a blue as it flowed to the ground, the top was like a corset, her hair was in a lose but elegant French braid. Sakura was the only one that wasn't dressed and it was almost time leave. Her hair was like in a bun but was curled and twisted into place with gold cherry blossom hair pins surrounding it and there was a small piece of her hair the was candy curled and hung lose in her back.

"Now lets get your dress on" Tomoyo said going to the closet when there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it" Naoko said leaving the room.

"Are you ready?" Eriol asked as they walked into the room.

"Yeah almost Sakura's putting on her dress right now" Naoko answered.

"You look beautiful" Yang complimented making her blush.

"Thank you but I'm really nervous" Naoko confessed

"Don't worry bout it, just relax it's like any other party" Yang reassured.

"Wow. You guys look great" Tomoyo said walking out of the room. The guys were all wearing black tux's and Eriol and Yang hair was nicely combed back, Syaoran didn't even try getting his neat but he still looked hot.

"No you look great" Eriol replied.

"Where's Sakura?" Syaoran asked fingering a box.

"She's in there why don't you go get her" Tomoyo answered. He nodded and placed his jacket on the chair before going in.

"Come in" Sakura said when she heard a knock on the door. The opened and Syaoran walked in but came to a halt when he laid eyes on her.

"Sakura…
