Chapter 16: The Dance
******************
Walking into the gym was a big surprise. Turning every which way was some kind of character from some video game. It was quite good for a Halloween/Harvest Dance. Syaoran was walking around decked up in Squall's outfit from FFVIII. Having the proper type hair, he placed in steel blue contacts and gathered his costume from Tomoyo right after school. He even had to ever popular Griever necklace, which he loved the best....next to the belts.
Hanging off his arm, was Meiling, dressed as Rinoa. Syaoran had put on an illusion spell to make Meiling's hair short, since it wouldn't fit into the wig. She had on the Yellow dress from the SeeD ball. She even had light brown contacts, and the Griever ring on her chain necklace. What a better way to go to dress as FFVIII's famous couple (and get Sakura jealous at the same time...).
Searching around the dark gym, the two began to search out their friends under the strobe light. Finally coming across Eriol and Tomoyo, they began to talk.
"So I see you're Squall for tonight." Eriol commented.
"Yeah. And I see you're Tommy from Vice City. What made you come in that get-up? Oh, yeah. Thanks a alot Tomoyo, this was truly great." Syaoran said. It was true, Eriol was decked up as Tommy V. from GTA: Vice City. And he had thought he would had been Link or something.
"So Tommy, is this your hoe?" Meiling asked innocently. Tomoyo was looking like one of the prostitutes from GTA, so it seemed really funny.
"Yeah, he's my bitch." Tomoyo gave him a kiss. IT was quite funny indeed. The four began to talk like nothing is new, until they hear their favorite song play.
"You have to dance with me Syaoran, please?" Meiling knew Syaoran was not really a dancer though he had great moves. "Okay." The couple moved out, and started to groove to the fast beat, swinging and swaying, grinding and rolling. Who knew where the teachers were? No one stopped all the action out on the dance floor. So sliding up next to them was Eriol and Tomoyo. They had a glint in their eyes, a little competition to start off the night. So moving to the beat, they twisted and turned and pulled off moves no one could believe. Tossing partners in the air, bending them ways they never knew, it was an all out. So they switched partners, and it was even greater. The crowd soon parted for them, just gawking at the way they pulled out stunts only seen in movies. And finally, the music stopped. With Meiling and Tomoyo bending backwards in the middle, and the guys leaning forward, it was over. The crowd clapped and continue to dance on, while the four went to go get drinks.
"That was great, but it's a tie still." Syaoran said. He was a bit winded, still trying to get his breath caught up. He winked at Meiling.
"Still, I didn't know you could turn that way, sweetie." Eriol chimed to Tomoyo. She wasn't really a gym person, but you be surprised.
"Well, I didn't know we knew that many dance steps PERIOD." Meiling said. Coke rushing down her throat, she felt better, refreshed. She was ready for another round.
"Well, has anyone seen Sakura?" With all the action and drama, no one really cared. But it did bring up a good point.
"Well, no. Oh, but I see her now." Sakura was up by the stage, dancing with some of her other friends. She was dressed as Princess Peach. And she really looked like royalty.
The stage was cleared, and soon someone came up. It was a surprise that tey wanted attention already.
:"Excuse me." The crowd quieted down. "Yes, I have an important message. I have to announce that Our fellow Senior, Fei Hong, has died. He was killed in a plane crash. Let's give a few moments of silence. Then continue the dance, please." The silence, was pregnant. And watching Sakura, she looked like she didn't care a bit. No tears, all smiles. That was bad of her, as Syaoran noticed.
The dance started again, until Sakura came over here, with her innocent smile and sparkly eyes.
"Syaoran can I talk to you?" Sakura asked. He glanced at everyone, they shooed him off.
"I guess." Sakura grabbed his arm, and dragged him outside. She stood very proud like, too good to be true. It was a deceiving stance.
"Well, what do you want?" Syaoran was kind-of upset. I mean, who wouldn't? Someone dies, it wa you're boyfriend. She should be crying, or at least look sad. Hell, he gave up his love for her in order for her to be with Fei. It had better be one hell of an explanation!
"Well, Syaoran. I just wanted to tell you. I love you." Sakura stood there smiling. Was he suppose to be happy or sad? Sure, he wanted this, but not because someone was dead...
"You love me? Well, what about Fei, huh?" Syaoran decided to hear her out first. No use jumping to conclusions...
"Fei, well he died, but I realized I love you." And she still stood there smiling. That made Syaoran mad!
"Well, I glad. But what about Fei? You act like you don't care! It's like one minute you love him, but now that he's dead, you decided to go for second best!"
"No, that's not it. I've always loved you. Love you."
"Well, that's not funny. You knew about Fei didn't you?"
"Well, yes, but..."
"And you love him, right?"
"Yeah, but..."
"So you know you can't love two people like that, right?"
"Right, but..."
"So, how come you have to tell me that you love me now?"
:"'Cause I've come to terms with my feelings."
"Yeah, but that's not right. It doesn't feel right. Until you can prove to me that you love me, well, it's not going to happen anytime soon." Syaoran turned and walked away. Sakura stood, and thought about it, before going back in the gym.
Syaoran walked back to the table where the gang was. "You guys, I'm going home right now. I'm not in the mood to dance anymore. Meiling you can stay, but let me talk to ya for a moment." Meiling followed him to the outside. Under the moonlight, Syaoran looked so upset, and you could actually see the tears down his face.
"What's wrong now?"
"Sakura told me she loved me. But, I can't take her word. She knew Fei died, but acts like nothing happened. I need her to prove she loves me, not because I was second best." Meiling grew silent, just listening. "And, I'm going home tomorrow. I can't take this anymore." Meiling was surprised, but understood.
"Syaoran, I understand now. It's okay. I'll tell the others, you go home. Take a shower, watch TV, rest. It's okay." Meiling game her cousin a comforting hug, and then watched as he left, giving her one last wink. Walking back in the gym, she approached the table of two.
"Syaoran's upset. Sakura told him she loved him, but he was indecidive about what to do. But he's going home tomorrow, so we have to get Sakura to do SOMETHING!" Meiling, had a look in her eye. No one knew what. So they left the dance early, and decided to sleep on it. Syaoran wasn't leaving just yet, but he would be gone by night time. So people went home, Meiling spending the night at Tomoyo's to give Syaoran some 'alone' time.
Sakura was with her friends, still with a determined look in her eyes. She kept on dancing, thinking of a way to prove to Syaoran it was true. So the music went, the friends danced, it was a good night for at least someone else.
