It's me again! I know that the first chapter was short. This one is short too. But, I'm only getting started!
Part Two: New Company
(Lunch)
Sakura and Tomoyo walked with Li and Meilin to lunch outside.
"It's so great to see you again!" Sakura said.
"There is nothing in this world that would keep me away from here!" Meilin replied. "Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!!!!"
Sakura smiled. A large sweat drop rolled down her head.
"Meilin-chan, You haven't changed since the last time I saw you." Tomoyo said.
"Hey, where will you stay this time?" Sakura asked.
"We'll check in at a hotel...." Li said.
"Yeah. The apartment we used to rent is already taken. They don't have any more room left for us." Meilin whined.
"Hey, I have an idea. You can visit my house for the night. My dad and big brother are going on a trip. I'm sure they won't mind if you stay for a bit. Tomoyo, please come too. It will be fun. Just like the old times." Sakura cheered.
Meilin's eyes became bubbly.
"That would be great!"
Meilin clapped her hands together.
"Cable T.V., Bubble baths, The heaters won't smell of fried rats, AND I get to be in Japan, with my best friends!!!!" Meilin shouted. A wide smile spread on Meilin's face she blushed, clapped her hands together and looked at the sky.
"Thank you!!" Meilin said in Sakura's face. A big drop of sweat rolled down Sakura's head.
"I-It's okay... Shaoran-kun told me that you'd be back next summer. So, I very, very happy that your back Shaoran- Kun!" Li faced Sakura and looked her in the eyes.
"Hoe?"
"I'm glad too." Li said.
They both blushed. As they both embraced in a hug, Sakura smiled wider than she ever had.
"I missed you... I glad that you're here now of all times..."
Li opened his eyes and frowned a little. He didn't quite understand what she meant.
"Sakura..."
"Smile for the camera, Sakura-chan..." Tomoyo whispered. Meilin giggled.
As Sakura and Li were still in the hug a large bead of sweat rolled down both of their faces.
"H-Hoeeee...Y-You were filming?" Sakura asked with an uneasy smile smacked on her face.
"I can't miss any opportunity to film you Sakura-chan!"
"You haven't changed since the last time I've seen you either Daidouji-san!" Meilin commented.
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!" Tomoyo giggled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night Toya and Fujitaka(Sakura's dad) were getting ready to leave.
"Tell me daddy! Who is it?" Sakura pleaded.
"The baby sitter wants to surprise you. You'll find out tomorrow." Fujitaka replied.
Sakura held up a fist and growled. "Jeez... Why do I need a baby sitter?"
"Is something wrong?" Sakura forgot about her anger and smiled.
"I-I'm fine!" Sakura flapped her hand in reassurance. "Hey, are you going out of the country?" Sakura asked.
"No, I got together with some people and we are going to Osaka." Fujitaka replied.
"Why Osaka?"
"Another archaeological digger was in there and said that he had found a strange artifact. They're not sure what it is though."
"I wish I could come with you..." Sakura pouted.
"Well you have school anyway."
"Yeah, I also have some friends over.... if that's okay." Sakura looked at her dad with pleading eyes.
"That's perfectly okay with me." Fujitaka replied.
"Wai!! Thanks Dad!!" Sakura shouted as she bounced up and down.
"Just don't do anything too reckless." Fujitaka warned.
"I won't! I promise!" Sakura said sincerely.
"When you thump around like that, you give me a head ache." Toya complained.
Sakura's eyes narrowed evilly.
"By the way, doesn't big brother have work?"
"Wrong again." Toya said.
Sakura's face turned bright red.
"Looks like 'the monster' doesn't have a brain." Toya teased.
"If you're so smart tell me why you aren't going to work!"
"I'm taking four months off."
"Hoe?"
"He's going with me on the archaeological dig. Our job is to find more clues about the artifact to find out more about it." Fujitaka explained.
Toya looked at Sakura evilly and said,
"Looks like your going to have to stay home and go to school for the next two months while I'm spending time with Dad."
"I LIVE with Dad!" Sakura raged.
"Calm down you two. We have to get going now Toya-Kun."
"Sayonara Monster." Toya said.
"What did you say!?" Sakura raged as she stomped on Toya's foot harder than ever. Toya squealed and limped out the door.
"Bye, Sakura-san."
"Bye Daddy! Have a nice trip!" When the door closed she immediately frowns. Sakura folds her arms.
"SAKURA IS NOT A MONSTER!"
Sakura went up the stairs and burst into her room and falls back on her bed.
"Sheesh!" Sakura groaned. "I'm not a monster!"
"What? What? Was your Big Brother teasing you again?" Kero asked.
"Big brother is too mean!"
"You'd think he'd stop calling you 'the monster' by now."
"We can't do anything about it... No matter what I say that won't stop him..."
"So, what time are the brats coming over?" Kero asked.
"I told them to come over around 5:00. They should be here any moment."
"Will Tomoyo be coming over too?"
"Yeah but I think only for tonight. I think that Shaoran-kun and Meilin-chan might go over to Tomoyo-chan's tomorrow night too."
"So they'll be switching between houses?"
"I dunno... Maybe they'll stay here more?"
"I don't want them to!!"
"Sheesh, Kero-chan....."
"Even if you have befriended that brat, and that other kid with no magical powers, doesn't mean I should!" Kero argued.
Right then the doorbell rang.
"Yes, yes! I'm coming right over!" Sakura called out. Sakura looked at Kero helplessly.
"Kero-chan... Please try and be nice."
Sakura closed the door.
Sakura walked down the stairs she started to sing.
"My friends, my friends, are here for a sleep over! Shaoran kun, Meilin-chan, Tomoyo-chan!"
The doorbell rang again.
"COMING!" Sakura called out. Sakura stopped dawdling and she began to run. She ran down the hallway and opened the door.
They were all standing outside.
"Welcome! Come in!"
They greeted Sakura and took off their shoes by the door.
"Thanks again for letting us stay." Shaoran said.
Sakura smiled
"It's the least I can do! I just hope you guys enjoy the stay. Come on I'll show you where you'll be sleeping."
They walked up the stairs and Sakura gave them a tour.
"There are two bathrooms. One is downstairs and one is up here. Once it gets late Meilin-chan, Tomoyo-chan, and I will change in my room. Shaoran-kun, you can change in my big brother's room."
"W-What?"
"Don't worry. Big brother is long gone! And when you're done come into my room where you can sleep." Sakura explained.
Li gathered all his strength.
"All right! I'll do it!" Li shouted with anger.
Li went into Toya's and slammed the door.
"Do you think he'll be all right? Tomoyo asked touching her cheek.
"Shaoran it's still 5:00!! You don't have to change yet!" Meilin shouted.
"Hao...." Sakura moaned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, this one was short but the next one is when Meilin and Tomoyo play a trick on Sakura and Li. I'm not sure what to say about it. You tell me.
