"How did you meet Tanaka?" Heather asked carefully when the two were alone in the
kitchen. "I bumped in to him in a store, and then realizing I got lost he offered to help."
Sakura explained. Heather stared at her innocent face for a moment before realizing that
their "plan" worked, but worked in the wrong way. "So you just went with a stranger?"
Heather said managing a "haha." "I didn't want to, but since he knew my friends. Mei-
ling, Syaoran, you know." Sakura said gulping down the rest of her coke. At this point
the conversation was lagging, and Heather sighed with relief when the door swung open
as Ricardo and Tanaka entered. "Hi!" Sakura said cheerfully making Tanaka blush ever
so slightly. Sakura being so dense didn't realize, but his long-time friends saw the quick
flush of color. Seeing his cue Ricardo cleared his throat and spoke up. "Hey Sakura, let
me show you the living room. We just had it remodeled with this killer sound system."
He smiled leading her out of the room. "Falling for Cherry Blossom?" Heather asked.
"No, I'm not." Tanaka replied tightly. "Let me guess, the plan is off?" Heather sighed
raising her eyebrows. "Yes. It was a stupid idea anyway. We were probably drunk when
we thought of it. I just wanna get her back to-" "Syaoran." Heather finished. Not meeting
her eyes Tanaka mumbled something under his breath and left. ~Why do you fall for
every girl except the one closest to you?~ Heather thought bitterly before following. ~*In
the car, Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo, Len, and Mei-ling.*~ "I'm not worried about them
hurting her. Even they wouldn't sink that low." Mei-ling said twisting a ring on her finger
nervously. "I wouldn't put it past that Tanaka jerk." Syaoran growled in response.
"Someone sounds reaaaal jealous." Eriol said calmly with a smirk on his face. "What
exactly do you mean by that?" Syaoran asked. "He meant nothing. Just concentrate on
driving." Tomoyo said glaring at Eriol. Syaoran gave his old enemy a final glare in the
front view mirror then turned his attention back to the traffic. ~*A while late*~ "Here we
are." Len said. "Are we all going in?" Mei-ling asked. "Me and Len will stay here. You
three go on in." Eriol said. Len shrugged and sat back. "Whatever." Syaoran muttered
stepping out of the car. Running to the door Syaoran banged furiously on the door
interrupting a debate of alternative bands inside. "Bet you ten bucks I know who that is."
Ricardo whispered to Heather. Smiling he excused himself and went to the door.
Assuming it was more of Tanaka's friends Sakura continues talking. "Hey man. Relax!"
They heard Ricardo yell a few moments later. "Where is she? Is she here?" A familiar
voice boomed and rushing footsteps thumped around. "I think your friends are here."
Tanaka said simply. Just then the door flew open and Sakura saw Syaoran being
controlled by Mei-ling with Tomoyo in front of the two. "Sakura!" Her best friend cried
out running over and hugging her. "I'm so sorry I wandered off. Thank goodness I ran in
to Tanaka." Sakura said apologizing. Hearing the name being spoken Syaoran growled
and lunged towards the couch. "You bastard-" He started. Tanaka stared blankly up. "Oh,
Syaoran. Welcome. Were we expecting you?" He said sneering slightly. Seeing both of
the usually friendly guys turn in to complete different people Sakura glanced to Mei-ling
who was gesturing for her to do something. Tomoyo shrugged and nudged her. "Syaoran,
stop that! Thank Tanaka." Sakura spoke up. "Thank him?" Syaoran asked in disbelief.
"You're very welcome." Tanaka replied smiling. Before Syaoran could do anything else
Sakura grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the door. "Thank you very much
Tanaka!" Sakura called over his shoulder. Mei-ling and Tomoyo followed each muttering
a thanks. Eriol, Len, and Sakura greeted each other and then Sakura slid in the passenger
seat. "Syaoran?" Sakura asked seeing him glare at the steering wheel. "Why did you go
with him?" Syaoran asked. His voice was strained and flat. "I'm sorry if it upset you. I
didn't you had a grudge with him. But it was go with him or wander around alone
meeting maybe worse people." Sakura said. Syaoran smiled at her and admitted agreeing
to her reasoning. On the ride home Sakura told the others Tanaka's version of the "story"
and the others told her theirs'. "I'm just confused now. I need a shower and a nap. Do we
have anything planned for the rest of the afternoon?" Sakura asked as the group headed
up the stairs of the hotel. "Nothing important. But we're expecting a phone- call from
home. Remember? Touya said he would check up on you." Tomoyo answered. "Right.
I'll shower quick and skip the nap." Sakura said reaching her room. "See you guys later."
The group split and tried to rest from the anxiety filled day. ~*I just reread this chapter
and I am now frowning... I personally don't like this very much, but I had no other
ideas to move on to this other idea I had.. Gomen*~ Sakura flopped on to the couch
next to Tomoyo after her shower. "What's on?" She asked watching the television screen.
"A cinema version of Romeo and Juliet." Tomoyo replied handing her a bowl of popcorn.
Sakura shrugged and grabbed a handful. About an hour later Eriol returned from picking
up Hideaki and Makato from downtown Hong Kong where the two had decided to stay in
case Sakura was wandering around. The three boys found Tomoyo and Sakura sobbing
on the couch every now and then whimpering a remark and then bursting in to a fresh
round of tears. "What's wrong?!" Eriol asked rushing over to the girls. "Errioooolllll!!!!!"
Tomoyo bawled. Looking bewildered and helpless Eriol looked to Sakura's tear-stained
face. "Romeoooooo and Juli-i-iet." Sakura said sniffing. Makato and Toshiro leaned on
the couch watching the screen. They both gasped watching Juliet stab herself with the
"happy dagger." "Wow." Eriol remarked after the last scene. Sakura and Tomoyo went to
the bathroom to clean up sniffing and wiping tears. "Are we supposed to cry too?"
Toshiro asked watching the ending credits. A few moments later two sunny cheerful girls
popped out from the bathroom with new makeup and smiles. "That was nice wasn't it
Tomoyo? I haven't gotten my Shakespeare in a long time." Sakura said smiling. Eriol,
Makato, and Toshiro stared in amazement watching the two previously sobbing girls
laugh and joke as they cleaned up the popcorn and turned the TV off. Makato shrugged.
"Hey, wanna play Monopoly?" Sakura suggested pulling a game from a cupboard (yes,
very high-class hotel). The five sat down and argued and rolled dice until they went to
sleep. (Monopoly lasts for damn HOURS!!) Hopeless spent their afternoon basically the
same way, TV then games. (Hideaki was dropped off by Eriol) "Mei? You look worried."
Len said sitting down on Mei-ling's bed. "Sakura saw it today. How Syaoran got so mad
over practically nothing. They're gonna hit trouble if he doesn't loosen up a bit." Mei-
ling said sighing. "Yeah. But you can tell him tomorrow. I want some time with you."
Len whispered kissing her softly. Mei-ling relaxed immediately pulling him closer.
"Ewwwww!" Hideaki called from the doorway running away to avoid a pillow thrown by
Mei-ling. "Immature idiot!" Len yelled closing the door. He turned around to be attacked
by Mei-ling. Syaoran rolled his eyes from his position on his bed in his room next to Mei-
ling's. (thusfor he heard everything) When his door flew open and Hideaki came in
Syaoran wasn't surprised. "I'm bored. Wanna find a club and get a date?" Hideaki asked
taking over Syaoran's desk chair. "No. But you go ahead." Syaoran replied sarcastically.
"Just joking... .. .. .. And I'll bet I know what you're thinking about." Len said simply.
"What? Madam Fortune-Teller?" Syaoran said glaring. "You're thinking about every
possible thing Tanaka COULD have done to Sakura. Really, you gotta lighten up or
else." Hideaki said seriously. "Or else what?" Syaoran snapped. "Or else you're gonna
piss your beloved girlfriend off. And then the trouble begins." Hideaki replied instantly.
Syaoran sighed and glared at Hideaki for a few more moments. "Alright, I'll try to
'lighten up'." Syaoran said. "Good. Now if you will excuse me, I need sleep." Hideaki
said leaving. Hearing a giggle from Mei-ling room he wrinkled his nose in playful
disgust. "Like I'm going to get any with those two." He said walking away. Syaoran
thought about his little discussion with his best friend a while more before falling asleep.
Meanwhile, rather far away in a large mansion, on the third floor, in a huge bedroom, on
a large bed, Tanaka stared at the ceiling. Something that day had clicked and triggered a
thought never thought before. Going as far back as he could remember, he scanned every
detail coming to a decision. Leaving his room, he slipped in to one three bedrooms down.
Knocking on the door gently, he stood back and bit his lip nervously. A few moments
later the door opened. "What are you doing? Do you know how late it is?" Heather asked.
"Can we talk?" Tanaka asked simply. Shrugging she let him in. "Heather. Um. We've
been friends for a long time. I was wondering if you ever feel an urge to be more?"
Tanaka said slowly. Watching her brown eyes widen and her mouth drop open made him
feel foolish and stupid. Deciding whether to laugh and call it a joke or apologize and
make a dumb excuse Tanaka looked down and blushed. To his surprise Heather laughed
and suddenly threw her arms around him. "Yes! And I was wondering how long it would
take you to see that." She whispered. The commotion had woken Ricardo who crept to
the door watching the scene. "It's about time I think." He muttered grinning.
Donnnne. I'm very disappointed in myself right now because... I'm getting bored with this story. But I promise to finish it even though I think the plot is really not going anywhere. But I'll throw in some action, then end it, maybe five more chapters, cuz unlike some of my VERY patient friends, ideas pop in and out of my head all the time, and now, a Muse, probably Calliope has descended upon me and now I have an idea-CCS, even though I've been planning to try something else... Maybe I'll do Pokemon, can't lose with that. Lol. Please review!!!!! And thx to the people who took time to email reviews to me!!!!
