A/n phew. chapter 5!!! can't believe it! T^T a cry of joy!!!
Where we left off. Sakura and Syaoran are walking to Syaoran's home together for Sakura's math tutoring. but they didn't know that Meiling, Tomoyo and Eriol are following them and Tomoyo is even taping them!
Activation of the Plan- Part 2
"Hey, do you need to ring anyone to tell them that you are not going home until later?" Syaoran ask breaking the silence between Sakura and him.
"Yeah, I'll need to tell Miaka that I'm fine, otherwise she will fret over me when I get home." Sakura took out her cell and started to dial.
Syaoran chuckled. "Is she like a mother to you?" He asked after Sakura finish talking on the cell.
"Yep." Sakura answered, "She was the only person I know so well. I've had home tutoring ever since my arrival at Vivian's house, so I didn't have any friends at all." She couldn't hide the sadness in her voice.
"Well, not anymore. Now you will have headache every day you spent with Meiling, Tomoyo and Eriol." ("Come on, we're not that bad!" behind them, Meiling said in mock hurt.)
They arrived at Syaoran's house and went inside. "Make yourself comfortable." Syaoran said walking upstairs. "I'll just go and get change."
"Okay." Sakura said started to take out her math stuff. 'Oh no.headache's coming back.' thought Sakura. 'At least Syaoran makes it sound more interesting them the math tutor does.' (My math tutor makes me wanna to sleep. it's no fun.)
Syaoran appeared in a green top and black jeans. Sakura's heart skipped a beat. He looked so handsome! Realising what she was thinking, she shake her head slightly to shake out the thought. 'You come here to learn math, Sakura!' she scolded herself. "Let's start."
They started the tutoring without realising the trio outside the window. (you know who they are)
--- --
Months passed on as Sakura and the gang become best friends. She now has her math tutoring three days per week (and it did work, okay?) and the other days she go and hang out with the gang, and sometimes sleep over at their house as well. She tries her best to ignore Vivian and Ken. Of course, this didn't go unnoticed.
Today Sakura came back just before dinner starts. "Sakura dear, I'm glad you are back. Miaka, take her stuff from her. Honey, come down to have your dinner after you got change." Her sound was sweet and full of danger, meaning there is guest in the house.
Sakura walked into the dining room and saw Ken, Mr. Rea and Mrs. Rea (Ken's parents). "Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Rea." She said politely, totally ignoring Ken.
"Good afternoon, Daughter-in-law." Mr. Rea replied. Ken frowned a little, clearly not liking the title that she was called. Sakura saw the face and bit her lips. 'You think it is only you that is not satisfy with this marriage?' She thought angrily.
"If you will excuse me," Sakura nodded and walked out of the room. She heard Mr. Rea said in a satisfy tone that he thinks this is a perfect engagement and Mrs. Rea agreeing with him.
When she got down again, she was wearing a pink long dress. She walked into the dining room. Everyone is still eating. She went to a spare seat and sat quietly listening to the adults talking unimportant things. Then they started to talk about the engagement. Ken was, like her, eating quietly until the subject was changed onto the engagement. Ken said abruptly, "Recently, I'm seeing Sakura hanging out with another gang. Is it not so?" The last sentence was asked straight at Sakura, spoken slow and low with anger and teasing hidden inside.
"Yes indeed." Sakura flashed a beautiful yet dangerous smile at him. 'If you think you are going to scare me like that, it will never work.' She thought. "And I would like to say that the gang I hang out with are much better then YOUR group of friends." She saw his face redden from anger and smiled in triumph. "For they are mostly low witted people." She bends close and said next to Ken's ear, "like you." She finished the last mouth of food in her dish and stood up. "And I already have another fiance, who is way better then him so this engagement in cancelled." She stated loudly, making all the adults in the room gasp.
"No it will not be cancelled!" Ken yelled in frustration, clearly, his pride was hurt by the words that Sakura had said. Now he wanted the engagement to be on, to tell her who is the boss, to conquer her and break her spirit.
"Oh yes it will." Sakura flashed another dangerous smile. "I'll make sure it does." With that, she walked out of the room. Outside, all the servants were listening. They all gave Sakura thumbs up or patted her shoulder, encouraging her.
When she entered her room, her cell phone was ringing. She walked across the room to answer it. "Hello?"
"Hey Sakura, it's me." Sakura smiled as she heard Meiling's sound.
"Hey."
"What's wrong, sweetie?" Meiling heard the sadness in her sound and asked her worriedly.
"Nothing much."
"Don't wanna to talk about it now?" Meiling asked.
Sakura replied, "Un-huh."
"That's okay, I was just asking if you are able to go to the movies with us and sleep over at my house." Meiling said on the other side of the phone. "And you better say yes coz I'll not taking no as a answer."
"Yea I'm free." Sakura said happily, "but how?"
"Oh, someone has gone to get you. Just be ready real fast. that person doesn't like to wait." Meiling said gleefully. "Will you tell me what's wrong when you get here?"
"Okay." Sakura answered and hang up the phone. "Miaka" She called.
"Yes miss?" Miaka poked her head in.
"Is the bath ready?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, miss. Are you going out later?" Miaka asked, her eyes twinkling. She knew the plan and has seen all the members of the gang.
"Yes." Sakura smiled- a real smile, and walked into the bathroom.
Miaka sighed, happy for Sakura. She know that the Syaoran guy has something for Sakura and Sakura has something for him. Besides, they look good together.

Sakura put on her sleeveless pink top and her short jeans. She wondered how they are going to get her as she sat down on her seat looking out the window. Her eyes caught sight of lights flashing. She looked carefully at the flashing lights and saw it was Syaoran on his bike. She smiled and said bye to Miaka then climbed out of the window carefully onto a tree outside. Down she climbed and jumped across the fence to meet an impatient Syaoran, "It's about time, Slowpoke."
Sakura stuck out her tongue at him making him smile. Recently he has been smiling a lot and it makes Sakura happy to know that she is making someone else happy.
Syaoran looked at the childish face before him and couldn't help the smile that started on his lips. "Are we going or not, squirt?"
Sakura made a face, "Where do I seat?"
Syaoran went on the bike and said, "Behind me, what do you think?"
"Behind you?"
"Don't tell me that you are scared, Sakura."
"Am not."
"Then come, you are wasting time you know."
Sakura hesitated for a moment. "Are you good at riding?"
Syaoran rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't be sent here if I'm not good at it. Besides, I would be killed by Meiling if I didn't escort you to my house safely." Which was kind of true for Meiling threatened him to come to pick Sakura up.
"Fine." Sakura said. She put the helmet that Syaoran passed her on then sat down behind Syaoran.
"Hold tight." Syaoran warned. Sakura nodded and do as she was told. The bike sped through the street like flying. Sakura shut her eyes close tightly.
She didn't know when they've arrived but sometime later Sakura heard Syaoran said, "Sakura you can open your eyes and let go of me. We've arrived."
Sakura blushed a little but held up her head stubbornly. "Yes."
Meiling and Tomoyo came into the garage. "Did you enjoy the ride?" Meiling asked excitingly.
"I'm sure she does." Syaoran answered for her, "Because she shut her eyes tightly and hold on very tight."
Sakura's blush deepened. "Stop teasing her, Syaoran." Tomoyo come to Sakura's aid. Sakura gave her a 'thank you' look.
"When are we going to go to the movies?" Eriol asked popping out from nowhere giving Tomoyo and Sakura a fright.
"Now."

Vivian stomped angrily into Sakura's room but saw no one except for Miaka cleaning the room. "Where is she, that brat?" She demanded.
"She went out with her friends, ma'am." Miaka answered politely but hid a smile.
"Tell me, maid, where is she?" Vivian did not care if Ken and his parents can hear her. "Which friend, and when?"
"I do not know, ma'am." Miaka lied.
"I know you know where she is, maid. But if you don't want to tell me, that's fine with me, I'll just find it out myself. But it wouldn't be good then, will it?" Vivian stomped out of the room.

The sun was long gone when they came out from the cinema. "Ice cream, ice cream!" Sakura, Tomoyo and Meiling were asking for ice cream like little children.
"Fine, what do you guys want?" Syaoran couldn't refuse their puppy face and gave up.
"Cookies and cream!" Sakura yelped happily acting like a big child.
"We'll have the sama as Sakura." Tomoyo and Meiling chorused. They all got their ice creams and went back to Syaoran's house. It started to rain a little.
They did their homework and as the time passed, they all felt tired so they prepare for bed. "Sorry Sakura, but my room isn't big enough to fit three people in for Tomoyo has brought lots of stuff." Meiling said apologising.
"That's okay. I'll sleep in the guest room myself." Sakura said and walked into the guest room that is right opposite to Syaoran's room. It was a pretty room filled with pink and she likes it. She said good night to everyone and went into her room. She fell asleep immediately until she was waken by thirst. She crept slowly out of her room and walked to the kitchen. Sakura yelped a little as it started to thunder. She walked into the kitchen and poured herself a cup of water and started to dink it when she heard movements behind her.
"Creeping up for a cup of water, huh?" A voice behind her said, sending chill down her spine.
She turned around to see Syaoran standing behind her. "Yes. What about you?"
He shrugged. "Couldn't sleep." He answered simply. Another thunder came and she yelped again. "Afraid of the thunder?"
"No" Sakura retorted but jumped as another thunder boomed. Another thunder and lighting came and Sakura yelped went into Syaoran's arms.
"Are you sure you are not afraid of the thunder and the lighting?" Syaoran asked teasingly at her ears. He like the smell of cherry blossom on her as he inhaled the scent.
Sakura shake her head. "Am I allowed to go to your room? I don't want to be alone in this kind of weather." She begged making her cutest puppy face. "Please?"
"Alright." Syaoran sighed heavily.
"Yeah!" Sakura hugged him sheepishly, "Thanks!"
