AN: Thank you for all those who reviewed the last chapter. Sorry for the late update, I've been having a bad case headache and I can't seem to think clearly. Hope you all like it.

Chapter 3: You're THE Enemy
Sakura and Syaoran missed the remaining lunch period because they are both occupied in defeating EACH OTHER. Both won't accept defeat even if their lives depend on it.
Sakura was first to attack. She first slashed on the left side of Syaoran who easily dodges the attack making an attack of his own on Sakura's feet. She anticipated the attack and jumps on the air to avoid the blade. The sparring was an exchange of blows, attacks and elution. Neither would withdraw nor accept defeat.
//////////////////////////// At the Dinning Table ////////////////////////////
(AN: The dinning table is in rectangular shape where Syaoran's grandmother Yuki sat on the end of the table as the head and on her right side is Sakura's grandmother Aki.)
"So how was your beautiful granddaughter Aki? Is she still single?" Yuki said curiously anticipating the answer would be yes. I hope she's still single. I know she will be a perfect wife for my grandson not like that gold-digger ex-wife of his.
"Hai and I know she's still looking for her soul mate even if she doesn't even voice it out. I think my sweetie's a little shy around men. And where's the handsome grandson of yours? Maybe we could do… um some… matchmaking?" Aki whispered with a twinkle of mischievousness in her eyes. I hope he's not taken. My sweetie would surely be a match made in heaven for him.
"I don't know exactly where he is but I'm certain he is within this mansion. You know that the generation today is a bit on the stubborn and rebellious side. We must be getting older." Yuki sighed. "And about that matchmaking thing… I think it's a wonderful idea." She said approvingly. "When do we start?" And I hope that boy's not arguing with some of the guests and being friendly for once.
"As if you have read my mind, that's what I'm going to ask next? Would you like to start as soon as possible?" She answered a bit hyper of the scheme that would occupy their time by the rest of Christmas vacation.
"Yeah, that would be excellent, maybe we could start planning, should I say… NOW?"
"Great but we have to look for them first. How can we commence operation Sakura-Syaoran matchmaking without them, wouldn't we?" Turning her head to search for her grandson Touya or Tomoyo perhaps to know where the whereabouts of her favorite granddaughter, Sakura. "Will you excuse me for a minute." Excusing herself, with that standing up, preparing to find answers to the questions she has on her mind. Soon you'll be happily married my dear Sakura.
She found Touya and Tomoyo near the middle of the dinning table in the left side of her line of vision. Just the two I've been looking for. Smirking inwardly, she headed to her grandchildren. "Tomoyo dear, have you seen Sakura? I've been looking for her for some time now and she haven't joined us for lunch as well. I'm a bit worried."
"Maybe she's not that hungry and is doing some papers for work." Tomoyo stated thoughtfully.
"Knowing that KAIJU *munch, munch, munch* I know she wouldn't miss a MEAL for a bunch of papers to finish." Touya said in mid bites.
"Oh well. Ok kids enjoy your lunch."
"Thank you grams." Both replied in unison.
Better get back to Yuki. She went to her sit, faced Yuki and asked, "Where can we talk about this brilliant plan of ours without the knowledge of anyone?"
"At the sparring room." She uttered suddenly. "Nobody… I mean rarely anyone uses or even visits the room, we can plan our next steps there."
//////////////////// At the other part of the dinning table //////////////
"Let's search for Sakura-chan after lunch, ne Touya-kun?" Tomoyo inquired.
"Of course, anything for kaiju." Touya said after swallowing the remains of his food. "Ok, let's go," standing up and walking towards the door.
I know I can trust Touya-kun if the matter is concern with Sakura-chan. How wonderful the power of brotherly love is? As she followed him out of the dinning hall. She looked at the exit and noticed that her crush is in front of the door and spoke to her. She almost fainted. "Can I offer any of my service?" He asked gentlemanly.
The two grandmothers decided to go to their respective rooms to get what was needed for their plan to commence while Touya, Tomoyo and Eriol are almost through searching the whole mansion for Sakura. The only place they still haven't search is the… sparring room.
Touya, Tomoyo and Eriol are headed for the sparring room, the only room they still haven't look for Sakura when they heard a loud *thump* and suddenly a man and woman's laughter float through the halls. They investigated, entered the sparring room and saw a man with amber eyes and Sakura, both exhausted with what seemed a friendly sparring fight occurred between the two.
"KAIJU."
This is kaiju. Haven't I heard that name be for?
"TOUYA, stop calling me names."
Out of the blue, a voice can be heard. "Syaoran dear… ah… there you are."
"Sakura, you're here too. And you two have met already?"
Syaoran… This is the man she's been trying to beat the image all these years.
Sakura… The man with the amber eyes and hazel nut hair look befuddled. This is the GIRL he'd been competing for all these years.
"You're THE enemy?" Both exclaimed in unison, pointing at each other bewildered.
