?????: I AM writing like crazy (well, faster than usual). I'm so happy that you really like my fic! It's such an honor to be the first fic you've read and to introduce you to the whole world of possibilities within fanfiction! THANK YOU!!!
Mistique: CONTINUING RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A FAITHFUL REVIEWER!!!!!!
THANK YOU ALL!!! It's so nice to know my story is being read instead of ignored in favor of other stories. I hope to get a total of 13 or 14 reviews for this chapter! 15 would be absolute HEAVEN! If I don't get at least 13 then I won't update- the more you review the more I update!!!! SO REVIEW PEOPLES, REVIEW!!!
DISCLAIMER: Geez, this is the part that everyone hates writing. *sigh* I don't own CCS, Clamp does.
SUMMARY: Syaoran and Sakura are strangers in each other's worlds. They have had no previous contact or friendship. Syaoran falls for the wrong person (aka NOT Sakura), but Sakura doesn't care, because they are strangers to each other. Destiny pulls them together, but the plan goes awry and turns disastrous. The plan turns friends onto friends and ruins any chance of a relationship between Sakura and Syaoran. Somehow, though, the pieces fix themselves between friends, but the bond between love is broken- perhaps forever.

Chapter 4- Too Many Dilemmas
On earth, in Tokyo:
"Tomoyo Daidouji, will you marry me?"
"NANI????"
Syaoran sighed and took that as a no. "I know it must be shocking and too soon. I have two weeks left in Japan. So how about I just ask you out instead?"
Tomoyo stared at Syaoran in horror. *This was SUPPOSED to happen to Sakura- not me!!! Why did I have to get myself in this mess? If I say no he'll leave, but if I say yes I'll be stealing Sakura's man. . .*
"Uh. . . I don't even know your name, so why should I go out with a stranger?" Tomoyo collected herself and stuttered out hastily.
The amber-eyed stranger smiled a bit. "My name's Syaoran, Syaoran Li."
"Of the Li Clan?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, um. . . a friend and I are staying at this hotel," Tomoyo handed the hotel's card to Syaoran. "We're in room 609."
"Is tomorrow at 7 okay?"
Tomoyo was in total pandemonium. *I'm about to say yes to Sakura's man, but it's the only way to get them together. . . I'm sorry, Sakura, but it's for your own good. I won't fall in love with him- I promise. I'll get you two to meet- I promise this, too.* "Yes, and won't you meet my friend tomorrow, too? I can't date a guy who doesn't like my friends, you know."
Syaoran smiled. "Sure, I'll meet her," he said casually.
Tomoyo waved goodbye and made up an excuse about getting punch.
"I'll see you tomorrow, right?" Syaoran asked as he turned around to leave.
"Right," Tomoyo replied, a little breathless after their encounter. She hurried downstairs to get Sakura and her some punch.
"Sakura? I got you some punch," Tomoyo sang out as she reached Sakura.
"Thank you, Tomoyo," Sakura said weakly. Then she sneezed terribly. "Can we go home?"
"Yeah- let's go to that hotel across the street and get a room." "Why? Aren't we going home to Tomoeda?"
"No. . . I have someone I want you to meet tomorrow, so getting a hotel room is the best. Besides, you're already ready to fall asleep."
At the hotel across the street:
"What do you mean room 609 is already taken?" Tomoyo screamed at the flustered counter girl. "I want room 609 or else I can just go to your rival hotel, you know!!!!"
"I'm sorry, but room 609 is already taken, ma'am."
"Do you know who I am?"
"No."
"I'm the daughter of Sonomi Daidouji, who owns a successful toy business! And I am Tomoyo Daidouji, designer of the 'Midnight' clothing line! I can pay you whatever- just give me room 609!!!"
The counter girl was clearly shaken. "I'll call my manager and see what I can do," she said and picked up the phone.
"Tomoyo, you know, we don't NEED to have room 609. Room 608 is just as good." Sakura told Tomoyo drowsily.
"Yes, we do need room 609. It's the best suite and gives you a view of Tokyo Tower clearly." Tomoyo replied, not saying one other reason.
"Okay, ma'am. . . er, Miss Daidouji. My manager has agreed to give you room 609 only if you pay $200 a night and give her a discount whenever she shops for 'Midnight' clothing." The counter girl spoke to Tomoyo.
"Agreed. We'll be staying here for two weeks- charge it on my credit card." Tomoyo expertly handed the counter girl her Platinum Visa.
"Okay, here you go. Have a nice day," the counter girl handed Tomoyo two key cards.
"Tomoyo, do we really need to stay for two weeks?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, Sakura, yes we do." Tomoyo replied.

Syaoran stood outside of room 609 and knocked. "Coming!" rang a clear voice. The door opened. Sakura stood there.
"Oh, hi! You must be the person Tomoyo wanted me to meet! I'm Sakura!" Sakura said cheerfully and put her hand out.
Syaoran gripped her hand tight. An electric shock went through both their arms. She suppressed a gasp, he pretended to not notice. *How come I feel so familiar with this girl, like with Tomoyo- but this feeling is stronger? Maybe I'm just imagining it.*
Tomoyo stepped out. "Oh- you two have already met!" *Why aren't you guys hugging and kissing? That's the way it's SUPPOSED to happen. . .* The last part of her thought was directed towards Destiny. *Your plan isn't working, Destiny.*
Meanwhile, in Heaven:
"Don't you think I know it isn't working?" Destiny screamed at the portal. "This is horrible! No love at first sight, no everlasting love- no nothing! IT'S ALL WRONG!!!!"
"There, there. . ." Cupid said, and handed Destiny a tissue. "It's all right."
On earth, in Tokyo:
Sakura waved goodbye to Tomoyo and Syaoran and closed the door. *What's this I feel? It's warm and bubbly. No- I shouldn't be jealous of Tomoyo, but I am. . .* Just then a knock was heard.
"Oh, Sakura! Open up! Guess who it is? Hiroshi!" came from the other side of the door.
Sakura groaned. Not Hiroshi! Hiroshi was her former boyfriend, who had cheated on her- so she finally dumped him after she caught him making out with another girl.
The voice became more violent. "Sakura- OPEN UP!" His voice was slurred, so he said Sakura as "Shakoora." A/N: Hey- that's sort of like how Nelvana messed CCS up! Sakura became SakOOra! Banging was heard, as if Hiroshi was trying to break the door down. The door creaked a little, then it gave way.
"I've got you now, Shakoora!" Hiroshi said and leered at her.
Sakura screamed and ran out the door and down the stairs, with Hiroshi at her heels.
CLIFFIE!!! Yeah- remember Hiroshi? He was mentioned in the first chapter. Now he makes his appearance! And the plot thickens! Remember people- I WANT AT LEAST THREE REVIEWS FOR THIS CHAPTER!!!! SO REVIEW!!!!! OR ELSE I WON'T UPDATE!!!!
