~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomoyo had invited the couples to her house for the weekend. This would include Eriol, Syaoran, Sakura, Takashi, Chiharu, Dalong and Meiling. Suppi and Kero-chan were made to stay at Sakura's house, in case Anbaa decided to try and attack Kinomoto-sensei or Touya. Sakura was busy packing her things for the sleep-over. "Kero-chan, have you seen my favorite tank-top?"

Kero flew out of the closet and handed it to her. It was white with sakura blossoms strewn across the front. It stopped two inches short of Sakura's... assets, thus showing a lot of skin. 'I wonder if Syaoran-kun will like this?' she thought as she changed into it, her innocence not allowing her to realize that him likeing it was not the only reaction she'd recieve from him. She blushed at the thought of being alone with Syaoran again. "Daijoubu ka, Sakura?" the oh so dense Kero said as he placed a paw on her forehead. {taking after his mistress, ne?}

Sakura snapped back to reality, shaking the blush from her face. "Iie, Kero-chan. Daijoubu." "Yokata..." Kero breathed a sigh of relief. Sakura finished packing the rest of her clothes and her toothbrush. Other then the tank-top, she was also wearing black, skin-tight pants {kinda like leotards, but it stops at her waist} with white stripes along the sides. Over these she wore a pink winter coat so that Touya couldn't see her tank-top. She laughed at the thought of him discovering what she was wearing. "You really gonna wear that at the sleep-over?" Kero asked. He wasn't too happy that his Mistress was going to wear something so, revealing. "Don't worry, Kero-chan. Syaoran wouldn't do a thing to harm me" she said as she left the room. Kero heard her walk down the stairs. "Leaving already, kaijuu?" "Sakura is not a kaijuu!" Kero shook his head, "Same old Sakura."

**********(At the Li's apartment)**********

It was much the same at Syaoran's apartment building. Dalong's family had moved into the same building and were now next door neighbour's with Syaoran. Meiling was in her room, deciding what nightwear to bring with her. She already had on a red cheongsam, with a leg slit from the bottom up to mid-thigh, which allowed her to move easily in the rather body-hugging dress. It showed off her curves nicely. She was deciding between an oversized t-shirt or a short, near see-through nightie when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in." Syaoran opened the door, "You ready to go?" "Syaoran! Just the person I wanted to see," she said, a huge grin plastered on her face. "Nani?" "Well, you've known Dalong-kun for a very long time, right?" "Yeah, so?"

She looked at Syaoran shyly, "Could you tell me which he'd prefer?" she said, holding up the t-shirt and nightie. She waited for his answer, her face down so that he couldn't see the redness in her cheeks. Syaoran stroked his chin as he looked at the two clothes. The nightie was red with trimmings along the bottom and nearly see-through. It was accompanied by an equally red silk robe. The t-shirt was one Syaoran had given her for her thirteenth birthday {hey, they're still cousins afterall!}. It was a simple, red cotten shirt {it's a fact that Meiling's fave color is red} with the words "Kiss Me" printed in large, gold letters on the front.

As Syaoran didn't want his bestfriend to die from bloodloss..."Use the shirt, Meiling", he said. "Aww..."

"Nani? Disappointed are we?" Meiling thought of how much she had spent to get that nightie. "Maybe I should return the nightie," she said, disappointment showing in her voice. "Well, you could get it a few sizes bigger," he said, leaving for the door. "Doushite?" "You could save it for later", Syaoran said with a wink, closing the door behind him. It took Meiling a few mintues to realize what he had meant. A familiar feeling overcame her face. "SYAORAN!!!"

**********(At the Dadouji Residence)**********

Eriol had arrived early at the Daidouji residence. He had sent Suppi-chan to keep an eye on Touya, by order of the Clow Mistress. Even if Touya no longer had his powers, he was still in danger as the blood of Clow ran through his veins. Nakuru was home alone and had decided to read a book Suppi-chan had recommended. Eriol grinned at the thought of this. "What's so funny, Eriol-kun?"Tomoyo asked, as she sat the dining table for lunch. Her guests were scheduled to arrive at 6pm, but she had decided to give Sakura a fifteen mintue grace period, given the fact she was always late.

Eriol gently hugged her from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist."Nothing really. Just wondering how long Nakuru will be able to sit still with a book." "Knowing her, not long at all." she replied,smiling. Eriol just laughed. "Now, let me go so I can finish setting the table." Tomoyo wears a simple, white, long-sleeved cottondress that stops just above her ankles and a pink bow in her hair. Eriol also had also chosen to wear simple clothes. A white,short-sleeved T-shirt and black pants was all he wore at the moment. They both wore the obligatory slippers that was required in all Japanese households. Eriol loosened his grip enough so that she could slip out easily.

She turned around in his arms and gave him a quick peck on the lips before continueing to set the table. Eriol just stood there, dazed. The red tint on Tomoyo's cheeks was very visible due to her pale skin, but she tried to hide it anyway. She had never really kissed him on the lips before. 'Well, except for that one other time.' she thought. blushing hard. {prolouge fic alert!} By the time Eriol had recovered, Tomoyo had finished setting the table. He hugged her from behind again, whispering into her ear, "You'll get more tonight". This sent shivers down her spine and she turned around and playfully hit him in the chest, "I hate the fact you can do that to me", she pouted. Eriol just smirked. "You're lucky okaa-sama is away on a business trip, or you'd be in big trouble," she said. "Like I don't have to worry about your bodyguards," he replied, looking for the four women dressed in black. Tomoyo just waved her hand dismissively, "I let them have the weekend off. So,it's just you, me and," she takes out her video recorder, "my trusty camcorder!" Eriol sweatdrops and shakes his head. "Tomoyo-san, you'll never change" he said as she once again flashed her "I'm-so-cute" smile.

Just then one of the maids walked in, "Excuse me, ojo-sama, but the first off you guests have arrived." "Arigatou. I'll go and receive them. Go and make sure that the cook has lunch ready" "Hai, ojo-sama." With that, the maid walked off. Eriol looked at Tomoyo suspiciously. "Nani? No bowing? No curtsey?" "Hai. What do you think I am? Royalty? Oh wait...stupid question." Again Eriol laughed. "I don't want to treat them like that! It's degrading and they are paid afterall." "Whatever suits you best, Mi'lady," Eriol replied, bowing low. Tomoyo giggled, "Oh, my Prince Charming is here! Now, let's go and receive our guests before they turn to dust." Eriol took note that she had said 'our' and not 'my' guests. 'I guess we're getting some where afterall' he thought, as he followed her to the door.

***********************************************

Sakura got off the bus at Tomoyo's stop. The coat and gloves {pink, of course} kept her warm in the chilly weather. {If you've forgotten,it happens to be winter!} She walked up to the gate and pressed the doorbell. "Dadouji des. Who is it?" A familiar voice floated over the com system. "Tomoyo-chan. It's Sakura." "Sakura-chan! Wait a mintue, I'll let you in." The com went slient as the buzz from the automatic gate signaled that it was opening. Sakura walked in towards the front door as the gate closed shut. The fountain, usually alive with the sound of falling water, was silent as the Daidoujis turned it off during winter. The water was now frozen over, reminding her of the time she had captured the Freeze.

Syaoran had risked his life to help her capture it, but then again, wasn't that why he had been awarded the card? She vaugely remembered him punching the ice that had held her down, trying to free her. She had nearly fallen to the eternal slumber, but Syaoran had refused to give up and had been able to revive her. She blushed as she thought of the boy she loved most, his body now more masculine now that the hormones had kicked in. Her thoughts were interrupted as she bumped into someone, nearly falling over. Strong hands grabbed her arms, preventing her from falling. "Daijoubu ka, Sakura?" Sakura blushed as she realised who she had bumped into. "Daijoubu, Syaoran-kun" she said, looking up into his auburn eyes.

They were like that for what seemed like hours, in reality it was only ten mintues, before..."Kawaii!!!" Both lovebirds got the shock of their lives as Tomoyo jumped out from the front door shouting, camcorder in hand. "To-tomoyo-chan," "Gomenasai for scaring you like that, but the rest of our friends are waiting." she said, as she ushered the two inside. Everyone had been seated. Only now did Sakura notice what Syaoran was wearing. He had on a green, turtle-neck sweater. It seemed that he didn't like the cold too much. He also wore black pants that were smiliar to Eriol's. When she saw what Dalong was wearing, she gasped in shock. He had on a green t-shirt with the sleeves torn out and simple blue jeans. Dalong noticed that she was staring at him and laughed when he realized that she was staring at his clothes. "Daijoubu, Sakura-chan. Unlike my good friend here," he patted Syaoran's back as he took his place, "I have a better resistance to the cold. Besides," he said, nodding his head towards the coat rack, "I came in trenchcoat." True enough, there was a large trenchcoat hanging on the rack. Sakura felt the inside lining. It's was warm and furry. "What's this inside lining made of?" she asked. "Nothing special," he replied, "It's just specially treated wool. Helps keep the cold out."

"Sakura-chan, you sit here, beside Li-kun," Tomoyo gestured toward the seat as she took her own place at the head of the table, with Eriol on her right side. Syaoran, Sakura, Dalong and Meiling took up the left side of the table, while Chiharu and Takashi filled up the right. "Good thing I asked the chef to cook lunch later, Sakura-chan, or you would have missed the food," she said, smiling warmly at her best friend. "Arigatou, Tomoyo-chan. Gomen for keeping all of you waiting," "Don't worry about it, Sakura-chan," Dalong said, "Yamazaki-kun here was entertaining us with one of his stories. That is, until Mihara-san shut him up," indiacating that poor Takashi had been beat up again by Chiharu. "Now that I'm his girlfriend, it gives me all the more reason to stop him from lying!", Chiharu retorted, still shaking Takashi by his neck. Everyone else just sweatdrops.

The cook came out to tell Tomoyo that 'luncheon' was ready. As the maids brought out the food, everyones' mouth began to water. "Steak on a hot-plate served in a mild black pepper sauce with a side of fresh salad tossed with a hint of light virgin olive oil," Tomoyo proudly annouced. Sakura let out a squeal, "Hoishii" "Itatakimas!", they all said in unsion before chowing down on the food. After dinner, they to the main hall to relax by fire place. It was large and spacious with a fireplace. Around it were several pieces of furniture, specifically two armchairs and two couches, that had been moved closer to the fire to provide a cosy atmosphere."Tomoyo-chan, I don't remember you ever having a fireplace," Sakura asked as she warmed herself by the fire. "Okaa-sama had it installed only recently. It was Eriol-kun's suggestion." Eriol's glasses gleamed in the firelight.

"Makes things more romantic, do you not think so?" At this all the others blushed. Eriol snickered quietly, loud enough for only Tomoyo to hear. She leaned against his side, whispering into his ear, "A very Hiragizawa type idea, ne?" before giving him a peck on the cheek. Eriol blushed slightly, but enough for Syaoran to notice. "Eriol, I never knew you to be the blushing type," he said, laughing. Sakura didn't think it was so funny and gave Syaoran a full kiss on the lips, turning him bright red. Eriol laughed out loud, "Look who is talking, Mr. Blush!". Syaoran scratched his head in embrassment as the redness began to dissappear from his face, 'Damn it, will I ever get use to Sakura kissing me?' he thought. Sakura was blushing hard herself, thinking "What in the world did I do THAT for?'. Tomoyo {Kami-sama bless her soul} had videotaped the whole thing as usual.

Dalong and Meiling were sitting nervously beside each other on the couch. It amused the couples to watch them. "So, Meiling-chan, Li-kun, why don't you tell us about your life with Dalong?" Chiharu asked, "Yes, that would most certainly be interesting," Eriol said. Dalong stroked his chin wisely, "Where should I, or perhaps we," he eyed Syaoran and Meiling, though this caused Meiling to blush slightly and not without the notice of the others , "begin?"

And so Dalong, Meiling and Syaoran recalled their adventures from their days in the Martial Arts Acedemy. { Prolouge fic Alert 2! }

"And so there you have it!" Meiling beamed proudly as she finished the whole tale. "I was still only trying to learn to tie my shoe-laces when I was that age," Sakura said, a sweatdrop on her forehead as she smiled at them in a sheepish manner. Dalong just shrugged, "With the kind of teachers you get at the Acedemy, it wasn't really any problem." "My, my, aren't WE the humble one?" Meiling retorted. Now it was Dalong's turn to look sheepish, "Hey! It's a fact!" he replied in a hopeless attempt to defend himself. 'Sometimes I wonder how that girl can make me do things like this' he thought.

Tomoyo looked up at the clock on the mantle, "Oh my. I think it's time we retired to our rooms. It's already ten o'clock it seems. Your story took longer then expected, Li-kun." "Gomen ne, Daidouji-san, but you're right. Let's get to bed." Chiharu proceded to drag Takashi away before he could start babbling again, not forgetting that his partner in crime, Eriol, was there. Suddenly, Tomoyo gasped, her hand covering her mouth, "Oh dear, sumimasen, but some of you are going to have to share rooms. I just don't have enough space," she said, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Eriol detected a familiar glint in her eye. 'I wonder who is spending to much time around whom?' he thought to himself.

*******************************************

Syaoran could have just then kicked himself in the head, 'Of course!', he thought, 'Daidouji-san has only five spare rooms!' Sakura had kindly volunteered to share rooms with Syaoran and she was presently in the bedroom's adjoining bathroom, getting ready for bed. She had left her coat on the entire time in the hall and Syaoran had wondered about this. 'Well, it didn't take long to find out,' he thought, as he replayed the incident in his mind. Sakura taking off her coat and him finding her wearing a teeny tiny and very sexy tank-top. "Do you like it?" she had said in all her wonderful innocence, modeling it for him. Syaoran had gulped down hard, trying not to say 'God, you look so HOT!,' but rather he had said, "It's...it looks fetching on you." "Arigatou, Syaoran-kun," she had smiled one of her biggest smiles yet, happy that the love of her life had liked it.

Syaoran had been able to feel the heat in his face, not to mention in other parts of his anatomy. {like I said, hormones just kicked in} Luckily, she had gone of to the bathroom to change. Syaoran had changed out into draw-string shorts, not bothering to wear a t-shirt, seeing as how Sakura and he had gone swimming so often during the summer after he had come back. Just then, he heard the bathroom door unlock at looked at it in hopeful anticipation that Sakura had put on something more modest.

As Sakura stepped out of the bathroom, his hopes were dashed as he felt the body heat rise once again. 'It's a good thing I'm wearing briefs,' he thought, 'at least it won't be so obvious'. Sakura was not only wearing the same tank-top, she was also wearing SHORT-SHORTS!. It went up way past mid-thigh. Heck, you could even call it swim-wear! 'May Kami-sama help me,' he thought, as Sakura walked over to her side of the bed. Suddenly, she bent down to pick something up, and she unknowing gave Syaoran a full view of her butt! Poor Syaoran had a hard time to keep from choking, much less fainting. He thanked Kami-sama that it was too dark for her to see his face

Sakura turned around and finally noticed that Syaoran was not wearing a shirt, and she blushed. No matter how many times she'd seen him without his shirt, she still couldn't get use to it. Sure, she had seen him like that during the summer camp in 4th grade, when they had caught the Erase, but she hadn't known back then she would have fallen in love with him. Not to mention the fact that he was much more muscular now then he was back then.

She lay down beside him, snuggling up and lying her head on his chest. Syaoran wrapped his arm around Sakura's shoulders, pulling her close. She looked up to stare into his auburn eyes, as his gaze settled and met her own. He smiled down on his beloved Cherry Blossom, her face so angelic. He whispered into her ear, "Aishiteru," sending tingles of pleasure down her spine. Thier faces inched closer and closer to each other. Syaoran could feel her breath against his lips........

[Knock Knock] came the sound at the door. Syaoran felt like smashing his head against the wall. Sakura got up to get the door, but Syaoran held her hand. Sakura looked at him, "Nani?" "Erm...Sakura, I don't think you should be answering the door in those clothes", he reminded her. Sakura looked down at her clothes and blushed. "Heh, heh...I guess your right." As she went to the bathroom to get a robe, Syaoran proceeded to see just who had disturbed them.

~~~~~~~~~~(TO BE CONTINUED~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you all like it. This is one of my two-part chapters, since the story would take to long to write and I have to submit in chapter at least once a week, a deadline which I've set for myself. Now, a short Japanese langauge lesson:

Hai, Iie: The literal tranlastion is Yes and No respectively. When used with positive questions, the uasage is the same as in English. It is reversed when used with negative questions.

Yokata: I think it means "That's a relief" from what I've seen on CCS.

Dajoubu ka?: "Are you alright?" The ka can be added to the back of most Japanese phrases to turn it into a question.

Gomen ne: Informal version of "Gomenasai".

Hioishii: literal translation would be "Delicious!"

Itatakimas: Usually said before any meal is eaten. Probably means "Let's eat!"

All the other Japanese words I put in should be common enough for you to know. Next chapter, Tomoyo and Eriol have a plan to help give Dalong and Meiling's relationship a little push forward, but they are going to need Sakura's help. Find out what their devious plan is in the next chapter of Cardcaptor Sakura: A New Adventure!
