"Watching you brings a sudden jolt in me,
your every move is mesmerizing,
you will never be forgotten,
I will always be here waiting."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Man, this IS Sakura, you know she has super good hearing, 'Sigh' it's no use trying to lie to her." He grimly joked as everyone broke into laughs. Until Meilin noticed two figures illuminated by the shadow near the doorway.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"MUGEN!! How long have you been standing there, what are you doing here?!?" Squealed Meilin as she spotted Mugen and the young man from a couple days before. [Did it seem like it would be some evil ppl?]
"For the party, AND of course to see you!" He winked at her making her blush slightly.
"Always the womanizer!" Eriol interjected.
Mugen grinned. "Jealous??"
"Hahaha ME?? No way, I don't need to use WORDS to persuade girls to fall for me! My looks can handle that!"
"Oooh REALLY?? Tell me, Mr. I-Can-Get-Any-Girl-I-Want, which girl has actually fallen HEAD over heels for you?? Sakura questions.
"Uhhh, well uhh, ooh my dear Tomoyo over here!!" He suddenly goes over and holds Tomoyo by the shoulders.
Tomoyo slightly blushes before pushing Eriol away; the blush went unnoticed by all except Sakura.
Sakura grins mischievously. "Hey, why don't we play a REALLY, REALLY fun game!?!"
"What kind of game?" Keis asked.
"Well I am OFFICIALLY 17 today, so it's a legal age to drink Sabe, rite!" She stated more then asked.
Everyone's face almost paled he or she pretty much knew what kind of game this was leading to.
"W-wait just a minute you know whenever I drink Sabe I become easily drunk!" Eriol panics.
"Yea, me two!"
"Me three!!" The whole group agrees.
"Awww, come on guys you don't even know what the game even is yet!" Sakura tries to convince them.
"Any game to do with Sabe is deadly, especially if you're playing the game!" Keis states ignorantly.
"Uhhh, am I missing something?" Syaoran whispers to Mugen.
"Well you know Sabe is a VERY strong liquor, and most of us gets drunk easily from it but Sakura is a different case. We let Sakura try it for fun before and to her it's like drinking water." He whispers back. [Drinking is bad, but just pretend this drink doesn't actually do any harm besides getting ppl a little drunk. ^_^, and yea this is so unlike innocent Sakura but I'm trying to add different twists to dis story.]
"Ohhh, really." Syaoran says mysteriously.
"Come on guys it IS my birthday, PWEASE!" Sakura uses her deadly puppy eyes.
"Oh wut the heck, let's just play, we better let the infant have her way before she cries." Eriol commented earning a hard hit on the head from Sakura.
:: Oh wasn't there someone with Mugen when he came?:: Sakura suddenly recalls as she turns around and sees the young man from the other day talking with Mugen.
"Uhh...w-would you l-like to j-join us?" It seemed like she had mysteriously lost her voice in front of this guy, which is totally unlike her.
"Hmm? Oh you mean the game? Uhh, whatever." He shrugges carelessly.
Sakura quickly shook her head and was set on beating this rude guy.
:: Who does he think he is with that attitude of his, well I'm gonna show him!::
"Ok the rules are simple, I'll start off first and we'll go clockwise. When it's your turn you have to drink four cups of Sabe and then you're allowed to choose anyone to do either a dare, answer a question, or drink down four cups of Sabe."
"FO-FOUR cups?!? B-but Minara I can't even drink three without getting drunk!" Meilin yelped.
"Aww come on! That's what's gonna make this game more interesting!!" Sakura encouraged.
'Sigh' "Fine, it is your birthday but just promise me you won't let me do anything TOO embarrassing while I'm drunk." Meilin pleads.
Sakura gives Meilin an innocent smile. "You don't trust innocent old me??"
"Do-you-want-me-to-remind-you-what-you-did-to-me-last-time?? Meilin says between clenched teeth.
"Uhh, hehehe, ok ok I promise I won't let you do anything TOOO embarrassing, ok then let's start the game!!"
After gulping down the four cups easily she chose Tomoyo as her victim.
"Tomoyo I pick you, now you have to answer my question honestly. Is there a certain someone in this room that you happen to have a crush on????" Sakura smiles sweetly towards her, a little too sweetly.
"Ooooh!!" Everyone cheers.
"Uhhh, I-I umm have a s-small crush o-on s-someone..." She replied while staring hard at the floor.
"I wonder who that lucky someone is, MOST likely me!!" Keis states proudly.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-
One hour passes...
By now there were only two remaining drinkers still awake the others all are passed out.
'Gulp, gulp, gulp' "Now I choose for you to drink four more cups."
The young amber haired man drinks the four easily and drinks down another four just as simply.
"Now YOU have to drink four more." He smirks.
::Dayn, this guy is a pretty good drinker, and for once I think I'm getting kinda nauseated, NO wut am I thinking, I WON'T let him win this easily!::
"Sure no prob." The emerald eyed girl replies easily chugging down eight cups.
The young man stares wide eyed. :: I never saw a girl that can drink that much, and still be left wide awake, if it was any other girl I would just admit defeat and let it go..but for some strange reason she seems different from the others...::
For the first time since they met he took in how she really looked, the way her silky auburn hair went down her back and how captivating her emerald eyes were.
'Shaking his head furiously'::Aargg what am I thinking I don't even know her, must bet he Sabe getting to my head::
However the more he tried not to think of her the more his eyes trailed over to hers, and he was locked in a gaze.
'Waving her hand in front of his face' "Hel-lo. It's your turn!"
"Huh, oh yea." He snaps out of his daze and starts to chug down the drink.
"Looks like the liquors getting to you!"
'Humph' "NOT a chance." The amber-eyed young man stubbornly replies.
As they were bickering they both suddenly realized a cloaked figure had just slipped pass their room with a stolen parcel in hand.
With a small eye contact with each other they both bolt as quick as lighting after the burglar. The cloaked figure seeming to have noticed he was being followed started to doubled its pace and jump from tree to tree. While still being closely followed by the two.
"We have to 'pant' think of a plan 'pant' to get around him!" Sakura says persistently to the young man next to her.
"Alright, you 'huff' head over to the north end 'huff' I'll make sure to lead him there!" "K!" Sakura bolts left and skillfully glides from one rooftop to the next on top of the dojo.
Syaoran puts his full speed in action and catches up with the perpetrator, he tries to reach for the parcel but the burglar was faster and pulls out a rigged knife and swipes at him. Even with his quick reactions he wasn't able to dodge such a close range attack and was cut deep into his left arm. He quickly regains composure and engages in hand-to-hand combat with the clocked being. He was tiring out quickly due mostly to his injury, and Sakura had came just in time to his aid.
"Your cut!"
"I'm FINE!" He grits his teeth, he had to admit the cut was pretty painful but he wasn't about to admit it.
Even double-teaming this cloaked figure it was no use they still couldn't reach the parcel. After what seemed like forever the figure began to show signs of weakness and was beginning to slow. Slowly all three were showing fatigue and the wounds each had weren't helping. Syaoran gives the figure a hard punch in the ribs while Sakura kicks him squarely in the back, and drop kicks him making the figure land hard on the ground. As Sakura and Syaoran were about to confront the figure it pulled out something that gleamed in the moonlight.
"BACK OUT!!!" Syaoran shouts to Sakura whom didn't need a second's moment to obey.
The figure within a millisecond shoots out dozens of poisonous pins towards them. The pair nearly dodges all of them, and when they gained composure the cloaked figure had left without a trace.
"SH*T!"[Sorry for the cussing!] Syaoran cursed angrily. In his entire life he was never beaten, not to mention being wounded as badly.
'Sigh' "It's alright, we gave it our best." Sakura says thoughtfully, and suddenly remembers about Syaoran's cut that by now was seeping through his whole green sleeved shirt.
"Oh, NO! Hurry we have to clean that cut!" She was just about to lead him inside when her friend's hurriedly come out.
"SAKURA!! What on earth happened to the both of you?!?" Tomoyo beat everyone else to the question.
"I'll explain later but we have to get Syaoran bandaged up fast! The young man seems to be drifting into unconsciousness. Sakura quickly leads him in, while her friends follow closely behind.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-
"How are Sakura and that young man doing now?" The white bearded sensei asks his loving wife as she comes into the bedroom.
"The young man's conditions are stable and he's staying at the guest room while Sakura is in her room resting as well." She replies.
"Hmm, ok very well we'll just ask the two in the morning what happened."
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-
"What do you think happened to those two?" Keis asks his friends whom are all sitting in a large room with a small orange flickering fire going on at the side.
"Yea, it was like they got in a fight or something." Meilin adds.
"Syaoran's arm was pretty badly cut, wonder who could have done it." Mugen asks more to himself then to the others.
"Hey, Eriol weren't you the one who woke us up?? You must have seen something!" Keis asks
"Well, I remember I was the first out of you guys to wake up from the buzz. I didn't see Sakura or that 'guy.'" He said that part with a rather disliking tone. "So I was on my way to find them when I passed by the window and saw three blurs pass by. It was like they were chasing after someone." He explains.
The whole group quiets down and each begins thinking to themselves about the whole situation when they hear slumping footsteps near the door.
Eriol was the fastest to react and opens the door to let in the guest.
"Sakura? You shouldn't be up yet, you're still weak and injured." Tomoyo chided.
"Yea, you should go rest up." Eriol adds with earnest concern.
"Oh, no don't worry I'm fine, but how's Syaoran doing?? Has he wakened, he's ok right??" Sakura being in deep concern not minding a single bit of her injuries, fails to also notice Eriol's deep frown.
"Oh, uh well he's still not in good condition but they say he should be fine in the morning." Tomoyo replies uncertainly as she notices Eriol's frown.
"Oh.." The sea green eyed girl replies in a sad tone. "Well, um...is it ok if I go to check on him??" She asks in a low tone.
"I'm sure it would be ok." Mugen gives her a reassuring smile.
"Ok then, good night everyone." She waves a small goodnight.
"Night!" The group choruses as Sakura heads to the guest's room.
Silence sweeps through the group, as each is lost in their own thoughts.
"I recall before I got wasted that those two were going at it with the drinks like they were sworn enemies, but now..." Keis stated more like then questioned.
"I'm pretty sure their feelings are mutual." Eriol stated rather icily. [Sorry Eriol fans, but if you get the story I tink you would know y he's acting this way, don't get mad]
"Well come on guys it's been one heck of a night and I think we should all get our rest." Tomoyo offers hoping to lighten the mood.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-
Sakura
She didn't want to admit it but ever since the encounter they had with the burglar she had given a positive outlook to this new guy. He seemed so different and familiar all at the same time; it sure was getting her dizzy. First she figured him as a selfish arrogant and stuck up guy, and here she was checking up on him. What was it that made her change her mind so quickly?? It was all so confusing and she didn't want to go on thinking about it, but she knew what she needed to do, and that was to just make sure his health was regained.
The beautiful emerald-eyed girl quietly creeps into the room, in hopes of not interrupting the young man's sleep. She looks down at him as he sleeps peacefully, and gets a good look at his stunning features. The more she took in how he looked the hotter her face got, feeling very embarrassed she quickly turns her head. As she did so her eyes lands on a small gift jewel box that had her name on it. She slowly picks up the small box from the stand, and was drawn into opening it. She gave a small gasp at what she saw; it was the most gorgeous piece of jewelry she had ever seen. A clear pink reflection of her could be seen reflecting from the stone. She slowly shifts her gaze to the sleeping young man and without thinking moved her hand to caress his face, and unruly hair. He must have been a light sleeper for his amber eyes slowly were revealed.
"Oh, uhh umm yo-you're a-awake." The young girl stutters, being caught red handed as she quickly draws her arm to her side.
"W-where am I, what happened?" He asks groggily as he slowly takes in his surroundings.
"Well since you lost a lot of blood and lost consciousness we brought you in to stay for the night in this guestroom." She replies looking at the side with still a small tint of red on her cheeks.
He then spots the gift in her hands, and Sakura notices his gaze and follows it.
"Oh, I'm sorry, since it had my name I-
"It's alright you were bound to open it anyway." He interrupted.
She gives a small smile and an awkward silence consumes the room. Then Sakura starts to giggle softly to herself, which causes the young man to raise one of his eyebrows in a questioning matter.
"I-I'm sorry it's just that I just remembered how I saw you so many times, but we still haven't been formally introduced."
"So in order for us to not be so awkward with each other I'll introduce myself to you." "I'm Tengi, Sakura!" She extends her small white rosy hand towards him.
He gives a small genuine smile at the girl's child like personallity and also extended his hand out.
"L-" [Hmm, wut could his last name be? ^_^] He gives a small pause and seems to be in deep thought about what he should say, but brushes it off.
"Uh, just call me Syaoran."
They shake hands and Sakura nods in understanding, not questioning why he wouldn't tell her his last name. There was probably a logical reason why he didn't want her to know his last name and she didn't all that mind. [yet.^_^]
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-
Eriol
His friends and him had just split up from the lounge and each was heading back to their rooms. Since the temperature drops drastically during the night he stuffs his hands into his pockets for warmth when he suddenly felt an object in his right pocket. He pulls it out and it turns out to be a small gift intended to be given to Sakura, but due to everything that happened he had forgotten about it. He decides to go pay Sakura a little visit, but on his way he passes by an ajar guestroom door, where he could have sworn Sakura and another male's voice was emitting from.
"So, uhhh do you like it?" Said a male voice.
"Hmm?" Minara asks naively.
"The uhh, gift there."
"Huh, ohhh, YEA! It's the best gift I received!" She replies excitingly.
Curiosity got the better of the sapphire haired young man as pokes his head a little in the room to get a view of what was going on. He notices a beautiful baby pink pendent in one of Sakura's hands as she happily hugs the person on the bed. A stinging pain shoots through him, as he felt his heart suddenly go cold.
"Urgg..." The person being hugged aches in pain, as Sakura seems to be hugging a little too tight.
"Oh, sorry! I forgot, are you alright?" She questions as she quickly releases her hold.
The azure eyed young man could feel tinges of jealousy when the person he thought being hugged was confirmed, he couldn't stand watching the scene any longer and grips tightly on his gift box and quickly turns on his heels and leaves. In truth he had been saving his money for a long time to buy a gift that Sakura had been wanting for a long time, which were double-crystal bear rings. He had especially made engravings inside the ring, but he knew they were unable to be compared with that beautiful pendent.
AwWw pOoR Eriol :[. [Plz don't get angry Eriol fans, I'm sure by now everyone's figured out he likes Sakura, but see in this story they're not related in anyway cuz Clow Cards aren't involved in here. Well let's see how the coupling turns out!]

"Oh, uhh umm yo-you're a-awake." The young girl stutters, being caught red handed as she quickly draws her arm to her side.
"W-where am I, what happened?" He asks groggily as he slowly takes in his surroundings.
"Well since you lost a lot of blood and lost consciousness we brought you in to stay for the night in this guestroom." She replies looking at the side with still a small tint of red on her cheeks.
He then spots the gift in her hands, and Sakura notices his gaze and follows it.
"Oh, I'm sorry, since it had my name I-
"It's alright you were bound to open it anyway." He interrupted.
She gives a small smile and an awkward silence consumes the room. Then Sakura starts to giggle softly to herself, which causes the young man to raise one of his eyebrows in a questioning matter.
"I-I'm sorry it's just that I just remembered how I saw you so many times, but we still haven't been formally introduced."
"So in order for us to not be so awkward with each other I'll introduce myself to you." "I'm Tengi, Sakura!" She extends her small white rosy hand towards him.
He gives a small genuine smile at the girl's child like personallity and also extended his hand out.
"L-" [Hmm, wut could his last name be? ^_^] He gives a small pause and seems to be in deep thought about what he should say, but brushes it off.
"Uh, just call me Syaoran."
They shake hands and Sakura nods in understanding, not questioning why he wouldn't tell her his last name. There was probably a logical reason why he didn't want her to know his last name and she didn't all that mind. [yet.^_^]

Eriol
His friends and him had just split up from the lounge and each was heading back to their rooms. Since the temperature drops drastically during the night he stuffs his hands into his pockets for warmth when he suddenly felt an object in his right pocket. He pulls it out and it turns out to be a small gift intended to be given to Sakura, but due to everything that happened he had forgotten about it. He decides to go pay Sakura a little visit, but on his way he passes by an ajar guestroom door, where he could have sworn Sakura and another male's voice was emitting from.
"So, uhhh do you like it?" Said a male voice.
"Hmm?" Minara asks naively.
"The uhh, gift there."
"Huh, ohhh, YEA! It's the best gift I received!" She replies excitingly.
Curiosity got the better of the sapphire haired young man as pokes his head a little in the room to get a view of what was going on. He notices a beautiful baby pink pendent in one of Sakura's hands as she happily hugs the person on the bed. A stinging pain shoots through him, as he felt his heart suddenly go cold.
"Urgg..." The person being hugged aches in pain, as Sakura seems to be hugging a little too tight.
"Oh, sorry! I forgot, are you alright?" She questions as she quickly releases her hold.
The azure eyed young man could feel tinges of jealousy when the person he thought being hugged was confirmed, he couldn't stand watching the scene any longer and grips tightly on his gift box and quickly turns on his heels and leaves. In truth he had been saving his money for a long time to buy a gift that Sakura had been wanting for a long time, which were double-crystal bear rings. He had especially made engravings inside the ring, but he knew they were unable to be compared with that beautiful pendent.
AwWw pOoR Eriol :[. [Plz don't get angry Eriol fans, I'm sure by now everyone's figured out he likes Sakura, but see in this story they're not related in anyway cuz Clow Cards aren't involved in here. Well let's see how the coupling turns out!]
