*Dark and Light*

Okay, not a lot of people reading this. I'm sad now! *Weeps* Hehe… Anyway, for those who are reading it, Thena, Chrizzy, I know you're waiting for this chapter and have been waiting for a long time. I'm sorry!

Disclaimer: I don't own it okay? I'm struggling to pass English. Get the idea?

Chapter 2 – The Guests*

After getting off the phone, the man dashed out of the club and followed the two girls to the road where they were trying to wave for a taxi. He just sat on the sidewalk behind, some hundred feet away from them, and watched.

"Bugger, not a taxi in sight. How bad can this be?" Sakura wondered aloud. Obviously, she did not notice the dark figure behind them. Tomoyo suddenly gained consciousness and opened her eyes.

"Let's call for a taxi. My mobile is in my purse." Sakura nodded and reached into her bag. Within five minutes, a taxi stopped in front of them and the automatic door opened.

"Get in!" the driver said cheerily, "You're my last costumers before I head home. Where to?"

The man hopped on a limousine that belonged to Mr Greenfield. "Follow that taxi, Maos." As he sat at the back of the limo, he couldn't help but wonder, 'Why am I following these two girls? What's so important about the Emerald eyed one?'

- At Sakura's House -

"How many times do I have to tell you, never mix! Look, you're stoned! I guess it's no use talking to you now." Sakura sighed, turned off the lights to the guestroom and walked down the corridor. It wasn't a long ride back, but it seemed like it. The whole ride, her thoughts were on Mr Greenfield. She didn't like the way he looked at her. She noticed it was a lot different than the way he looked at all his whores. Did it mean anything? Or was she just imagining things? She decided to leave her thoughts aside and head to bed. It has been a long night and she needed some sleep. A whole new day awaits her. She was supposedly going to meet a rich family and their son, a young man that her stepmother had chosen her to marry to, in the morning. She didn't want to meet him. In fact, she didn't want to marry to anyone yet! She loved her life with Tomoyo, the two youngsters partying till the early dawn. Enjoying their life, letting their spirit soar and fly free. The only way to break the marriage is to have the opposite family disliking her. Her plan was to act all immature tomorrow in front of the opposite family with Tomoyo, playing with paper aeroplanes and whatever they could find. As her thoughts ran through her head, she drifted off into her sleep, silently, steadily.

Outside her house, separated by the lawn and gate, the young man stood, waiting. Maos left him, to retrieve his master and bring him back home. For the young man, his only choice was to sit there and wait till morning, before he could phone Maos to pick him up. There was nothing he could do. Mr Greenfield told him follow them, and he did. There was no way he could get into the house without being detected. There were cameras and alarms all over the house, inside and out. By following the young girls though, he learnt that the amethyst eyed girl or the emerald eyed girl is the daughter of, millionaire, Fujitaka Kinomoto, the two girls are rebellious people and that the two are best friends. In the morning, he would need to tell Maos to bring him home. From there, he would try to find out more about they two young ones and probably seek his partner for help, Mr Greenfield seemed desperate.

- Next Morning -

Sakura yawned, waking up to the sound of the door opening. "Hm… who's there?" She croaked, one hand rubbing her eyes, the other pushing herself up. She opened her eyes, the bright sun blinded her for a moment, blinking a few times, and she opened them again.

"It's me. Your guests have arrived. They're so loud. Can't you hear them? Well, maybe not because you're so far down the corridor!" Tomoyo babbled on, suggesting that she woke up quite a while ago. "I've been waiting for you to wake up for a really long time. You can't believe what I did. First, I went to take a nice bubble bath, damn I love your house. Then, I got Marie to make me breakfast, she makes the best omelettes, then I went outside for some fresh air, walked around your garden ten million thousand times and finally came up to wake you up. But I guess you kinda popped up yourself. Hehehe…"

'Definitely bored' Sakura thought. She slowly lifted herself off the bed and went to the window, 'What a wonderful day!' Sakura didn't know that if Tomoyo woken up a bit earlier, she'd have seen the hooked man who followed them home. He left early that morning, before the sun had risen. Now, the sun was clearly seen above the trees, not a cloud in sight. "C'mon, I'm gonna get ready, and let's driiive our guests mad!" Sakura said cheerily.

Downstairs, Sheena, her stepmother was waiting impatiently 'Where is she?' she thought to herself. 'I clearly told her that we were meeting the Tanaheras today. That brat!' and sighed aloud. She and her husband were running out of things to talk about and her guests are also getting impatient. 'Where is this girl? If she's not down here in ten minutes, we'll have to leave. What a waste of a trip!' Mrs Tanahera thought. Their flight was due in two hours. Just then, as all these thoughts ran through people's heads, they heard laughing and screaming. 'The Kinomotos have children?' Mrs Tanahera frowned when she saw who the 'children' were. She knew that the one with brownish hair was Kinomoto's daughter, and the other girl, she didn't know.

"Hello! I'm Saku and this…" She didn't get to finish because right then Tomoyo tickled her so badly, she burst out laughing again. After a few moments of huffing and puffing, she regained the strength to speak again, "This is Tomoyo." And ran across the room, trying to avoid Tomoyo's tickling fingers. Seeing that, Sheena knew that her stepdaughter would soon scare away her guests.

"Sakura, come over here, your father and I would like to introduce you to these wonderful people." Sheena had blood-piercing eyes and knew how to use it. She stared at Sakura, making her gulp. Tomoyo saw and came to Sakura's rescue by going over with her. "Tomoyo, will you kindly let my family and the Tanaheras be alone for a while please?" Saying it in the sweetest voice. Sheena really knew how to persuade people. But Tomoyo knew better and didn't budge.

"Sakura and I are the best of friends. Her family means my family. If she has problems I'll be there for her. She's about to face one and I ain't gonna leave her side. You got it?" Tomoyo was pretty blunt sometimes, but she used it in the right situation. This made Sheena really mad. But in front of her guests, all she could do was turn away and proceed to what she was about to do.

"Sakura, this is Mr and Mrs Tanahera and their son Kenneth. They are really close family friends and own a lot of businesses." Trying to introduce them to Sakura with finely picked words was hard. One, she had to introduce them so that they would sound like high-class people and two, Sakura wasn't good with words. Although she had beauty, she failed to complete high-school. She and Tomoyo would skive and go to game centres, or bowling alleys. The only times they actually went to school was when they had band rehearsals, where they would go to school after the school has ended. The principal could not do anything. Mr and Mrs Daidouji and Mr and Mrs Kinomoto gave a lot of money to charities and supplied the school with a lot of equipment. Surely the principal couldn't just kick these two students out! (Anyway, back to the main plot)

"Oh." She paused, "Hi. So you're Ken yah? I've heard about you before. Something like an arranged marriage, funny eh? Well, my step always talks BS. If you know what I mean." Kenneth, fully understanding a word she said nodded. He seemed like a nice fellow Sakura thought. But not the type she would want to make any commitment with. As she was thinking about that, Kenneth too, was thinking the same way. His heart was already taken by a young lady.

"Sakura, mind your words!" Sheena scolded. Having a daughter like she had, and the friend, Sheena knew quite a lot of slang.

"What? How should I talk? How I usually talk? I'll probably scare all our guests away." Sakura exclaimed, over-doing it a little. Tomoyo and Kenneth couldn't help but giggle. "Anyway, Tomoyo and I were planning to head out. So I'll catch you later! Bye Mr, Mrs Tanahera. Bye Ken." Nodding to the guests and left the room with Tomoyo following.

Back in Sakura's room, the two girls were laughing uncontrollably. "I can't believe you said that to Sheena. I bet she was damn pissed! Even my father had a little grin on his face. I really don't get why he took her as his wife. You know, he never agreed to have an arranged marriage for me. I know I haven't been the best daughter and everything, but I know my dad doesn't think of me that bad. Anyway, lets head. I'm dying to get out of here." She and Tomoyo then ran down the stairs and out the front door. "Where to, Moyo?"

"Suits you!" Tomoyo replied cheerfully. She was glad that the plan worked well. They were both sure that the Tanaheras would not be coming by again anytime soon. As Sakura drove the car out of the driveway, she could see the three Tanaheras leaving, while her disappointed step-mother escorted them out.

~~Well, here it is! The little thing with her step-mum, the quiet dad, the mysterious guy, Mr Greenfield… *drum rolls* find out next chapter!
