Chapter: The Rival

Sakura, Syaoran and Mei had already been seated at a restaurant while they looked at the menus and waited for their waiter to come and attend to them.

"Oh my god. These prices are way too high. Are you sure about this?" asked a concerned Sakura. Syaoran just nodded.

"Sakura-chan! Tell us about yourself once you order okay?" Mei said happily.

"Sure," Sakura said smiling.

"Sakura?" a voice asked while she was looking at the menu. When she looked up she smiled.

"Derek! Oh my god! When was the last time I saw you? University?" Sakura asked as she got up to give him a hug. You could see Syaoran scowling while Mei looked rather confused.

"Yeah I know. You're coming to Tomoyo and Eriol's later right?" Derek asked smiling brightly.

"Yeah! Of course! I only live with them," Sakura smirked.

"So you guys actually did it? Oh, is this your family?" Derek asked a little less enthusiastically.

"Oh how rude of me! Li, Mei this is an old friend from university, Derek Masaki. Derek this is Li Syaoran, and his daughter, Li Meiling," Sakura said smiling happily.

"Nice to meet you," Syaoran grumbled.

"Are you and Sakura-chan going out?" Mei asked curiously.

"Heh heh. Curious kid. No Mei, we're just friends," Sakura said to her.

"Oh okay!" Mei relied happily. Syaoran could have sworn Derek's face fell.

"Sakura, we have to hurry. If we still want to go to Eriol's early," Syaoran said.

"Yeah that's true. We should catch up some time Derek. Here's my number," Sakura said as she wrote her number on a napkin.

"All right. So what can I get you guys?" he asked as he placed the number in his pocket.

"I'll take the chicken primavera," Mei said happily. Derek smiled at her enthusiasm.

"Same here," Sakura said.

""I'll take the fettuccini chicken Alfredo," Syaoran answered.

"I'll be back and take your drinking orders afterwards," Derek said as he scribbled it down on his notepad and walked off.

"He likes you," Syaoran said once he was sure he was gone.

"Hoe? No way. Derek and I were just good friends in school," Sakura replied blushing slightly.

"Sakura-chan! Tell us more about you! I know what type of person you are, but I wanna know your interests!" Mei cried.

"Okay," Sakura said smiling. "What do you want to know?"

"What your favorite color, favorite sport, what you look for in a guy, that type of thing," Mei answered while Syaoran just listened.

"Okay. My favorite color is pink; I have tons of sports I like. But the ones I like most would probably be volleyball and basketball. I am not going to tell you what I look for in a guy because of the fact you're meeting my best friend tonight. and you'll probably join her in her 'quest'," Sakura replied.

"Aw come on Sakura-chan! Please?" Mei asked. "Daddy help me!"

"Please Sakura," Syaoran asked playfully with amusement in his eyes as he smiled genuinely.

"Fine, fine. Well, he has to be sweet, kind, caring, great with kids, um. gentle, he has to know how to actually have fun, and I think that's about it," Sakura replied.

"What about his looks?" Mei asked.

"They don't really matter to me. It's the inside of a person that really matters. Not the surface," Sakura said again.

'Maybe she is different from all the other women,' Syaoran thought to himself as she said these things.

"And here are your orders," Derek said coming back, placing everything on the table.

"Thanks. I'll get a coke," Sakura said.

"Come on Sakura! You still don't drink?" Derek asked smiling as he scribbled down her order.

"Nope," she said.

"Daddy can I have wine?" Mei asked. Syaoran chuckled.

"Two more cokes please," Syaoran replied.

"It's on the way," Derek said as he took off.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to use the rest room," Syaoran said as he got up. Sakura smiled and nodded while Mei asked her a few more questions.

"Yo Mr. Li," Derek said.

"Yes," Syaoran answered.

"Lay off of Sakura. She's my chick," Derek said.

"Excuse me? I don't know what you're talking about," Syaoran said as he turned into the bathroom. When he got back he saw Mei and Sakura talking.

"You must be joking," Sakura said laughing.

"Joking about what?" Syaoran asked as he came back.

"I was telling her about the pool incident," Mei answered smiling mischievously.

"Aw man," Syaoran said as he slumped into his chair and began to eat his food.

"You really just walked into the pool?" Sakura asked smiling.

"Yeah. It's quite embarrassing. I thought there was more concrete," Syaoran answered.

"Aw don't worry. I've done much more embarrassing things," Sakura answered. For the rest of the dinner, they spoke about moments they had and shared experience and opinions they had about almost all topics. By the time they reached Tomoyo and Eriol's house, Mei was fast asleep.

"I'll put her in my room," Sakura whispered.

"Show me where your room is. I'll carry her," Syaoran whispered back as he scooped her up in his arms. She opened the door and crept up the stairs with Syaoran following behind her. Sakura smiled and brushed a hair from her face. They exited and walked down the stairs.

"Eriol-kun!" Sakura called out.

"Hai Sakura-chan? You just returned I presume?" Eriol asked.

"Hai. I have a friend of yours here," Sakura said smiling.

"Honto ne? Who?" Eriol asked. Sakura pushed Syaoran in front of him.

"Syaoran Li! When was the last time I saw you man?" Eriol exclaimed happily as he gave his friend a hug.

"I don't know, it's been years!" Syaoran said back as happily as Eriol.

"You're back Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said as she greeted her friend.

"Sakura-chan! It's so nice to see you," a girl with long blonde hair and hazel eyes said.

"Hi Tonya," Sakura forced out. She never liked the girl all that much because of the fact it was because of her none of her relationships work out. She always went after guys who were already taken. Including Eriol.

"Tonya," Syaoran spat out.

"Li," Tonya said in a not-so-happy tone. The two stood there with their arms crossed glaring at one another, while Tomoyo, Eriol and Sakura stood confused.
