CHAPTER 3
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day, an 1 ½ hours before the ball . . .
Sakura was reading in the living room, until Tomoyo interrupted her.
"Sakura! Why aren't you dressed? The ball is going to start soon."
"Tomoyo, I don't think I will go."
"What?! But you have to."
"But ever since I got that feeling, I don't feel comfortable going."
"But Xiana wanted us to be there. What kind of representatives would we be if we didn't go to ball where there are other fraternities and sororities there."
"Fine, but don't expect me to have any fun." With that, Sakura got up.
"Oh good. Now you can try on the new dress I made for you before we left Japan." Then Tomoyo went to her room all happy.
'Why do I have that feeling that I was tricked?' Sakura thought as she went to her room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
1 hour before the ball . . .
Tomoyo was waiting patiently to see how Sakura looks in the new dress she made for her. Then Sakura emerged from the bathroom. She was wearing a white, floor length dress with cherry blossoms trailing along the seam.
"Oh, Sakura. You look so kawaii." Tomoyo said.
"I must admit Tomoyo, this is probably one of your best creations. Probably because it actually looks normal, compared to the other things you made for me."
"Hey! Those creations are one-of-a-kind. Besides, I have grown out of the fictitious designing phase to the mature designing."
"Whatever."
"Well, while you 'whatever' I have to get ready for the ball."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At Fraternity and Sorority Ball . . .
Sakura and Tomoyo arrived at the building where the ball was being held. It was being held in of fancy hall in downtown Hong Kong. To Sakura she estimated it to be 15 stories high.
When Sakura and Tomoyo went inside, one of the workers told them that the ball was held on the top floor. After thanking the person, they went on the elevator to the 15th floor. As soon as they exited the elevator, they both saw a sign that said Fraternity and Sorority Ball. When they entered the room, it was huge. The room was filled with various plants and flowers. To the right, there was a small bar, where most of the people were located. To the left, there were huge windows and a few doorways that lead to some balconies. And in the center of the room, there was a dance floor and a couple of tables.
"Wow." Tomoyo said. "I didn't think that there would be this many people attending."
"Yeah. Well, I think I am going to stay out in the balcony." Sakura said.
"Okay. I am going to the bar and get something to drink. You want anything?"
"A glass of wine would be nice." With that, Tomoyo left, leaving Sakura standing there, staring into the starry night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A few minutes later . . .
A certain amber-eyed man entered the hall, with a couple of his frat brothers.
"Why did I agree to come to this?" Syaoran questioned.
"Because you don't want to nagged by Xiana forever." Cao answered.
As they were walking, Syaoran felt a familiar aura nearby.
'There's that feeling again, and it's real close by.'
Syaoran began to walk around the room. He noticed that the aura gets stronger the closer he walks toward the windows. When he reached the windows, he knew that he was close, so he decided to go outside to the balcony. When he walked out, he found the person who possessed the aura, and he couldn't believe who it was. There, stood his emerald-eyed beauty, too lost in her thoughts to sense Syaoran's presence.
'Sakura?' Syaoran thought. He was about to approach her, until someone called out his name.
"There you are Syaoran, I've been looking all over for you." Xiana called.
'Shit. Not now. I hope she didn't hear that.' Syaoran thought. Unfortunately, Sakura did hear it, and when she turned her head, there, she saw Syaoran under the doorway to the balcony. As soon as she saw him, she went back inside, hoping that Syaoran didn't notice that she left. When Syaoran looked back at the balcony, he found no one there.
'Damn, it had to be her.' Syaoran thought.
"Oh, I am so glad you were able to make it." Xiana said.
"Well, I was lucky that I finished my work." Syaoran replied.
"Come, I must introduce you to one of the sisters that came from Japan."
"Japan?"
"Yeah. Oh, there she is. C'mon." Xiana said, as she was dragging Syaoran towards the bar.
Tomoyo just got the drinks for her and Sakura. Suddenly, she heard someone call her name.
"Tomoyo! Tomoyo!" Xiana called.
'Tomoyo?' Syaoran thought.
"Tomoyo Daidouji, I would like you to meet the leader of Pi Sigma Alpha, Li Syaoran."
"Good evening Miss Daidouji." Syaoran said, trying to hint to Tomoyo that he doesn't want Xiana to know that they know each other.
Luckily, Tomoyo caught on to Syaoran's hint. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Please, call me Tomoyo."
"Only if you call me Syaoran."
"Oh, Tomoyo. Is Sakura here?" Xiana asked. Tomoyo then looked outside to the balcony, finding no one there. So she just made up an excuse.
"Oh, I am sorry. Sakura couldn't make it and she hopes that she hasn't disappointed you in any way."
'So, Sakura is here. Well, at least that explains why I have been feeling magic lately.' Syaoran thought.
"Well, tell her that I am not disappointed. I just wanted her to get to know a few people before she started school."
"Alright. Well, it was nice meeting you Syaoran. I hope we meet again in the future. With that she left.
'I have a feeling that Sakura saw Syaoran and that is why she is not here anymore. She probably went home. I'll just stay here for a while to give her some time alone.' Tomoyo thought, as she walked around the hall.
