Sakura looked at herself in wonderment. Tonight was the night of the 'big dinner party', as her father called it. It was not special or anything of the sort. She flushed when she recalled the statement her father had said in the store when she had spotted the lovely black dress.
"Sakura, that dress is perfect. Feel the need to impress someone tonight?"
Sakura clenched her hands together and gritted her teeth. Who would ever want to impress that gaki? He was such a jerk! Of course she didn't want to impress him! Okay! Okay! Maybe a little.
OKAY! A lot!
Kero flew over to her and wolf-whistled. Sakura rolled her eyes and swatted at him. She loved the dress; she only wished the look wouldn't be spoiled on something like Syaoran Li. It was a black spaghetti strap dress that went down to her knees, and it had cherries on it.
"Sakura, time to go!" Fujitaka called up the stairs.
She straightened her hair one more time and started down the stairs. Don't forget your promise, she thought. Tonight was going to be a night Syaoran Li would never forget in his miniscule little life. She smiled evilly and yelled, "Let's get going'!"
~*~
Syaoran rolled his eyes for the thousandth time that night as Yelan straightened his tie on his suit. He scratched his arm and shrugged his shoulders. "Kaa-san, this suit is sooo itchy!"
"Shut up, Syaoran! Our guests are here!" She walked over to the door and turned around. "I want you to be polite to the Kinomotos."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get going." He walked over to the door to greet their guests.
Yelan opened the door and said, "Welcome to the Li home. I hope you will enjoy the dinner here."
Fujitaka came in, followed by Touya, then Sakura.
Oh.
Syaoran's heart all but jumped into his throat. Sakura looked beautifu-
AACK! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT! DAMN!
Sakura shook Yelan's hand politely and continued down the line to Syaoran. She stuck her hand out and smiled forcefully.
Syaoran stared at her hand and raised an eyebrow. He yelped as Yelan elbowed him in the side. He stuck his hand out and shook hers. It was like an electric shock traveled through both of them.
They stared at one another, then Sakura tore her hand away. Don't ever do that again, she thought.
After an hour of painful talking (on Sakura and Syaoran's part), his butler brought in the first meal. Chicken.
Yelan looked at Syaoran. "Will you please serve it up?"
"Okay." He got up and cut everyone's chicken, then grinned evilly. Sakura noticed this and looked over at him, narrowing her emerald eyes.
As he served up Sakura's, he put a little bit more salt than he was supposed to. He gave everyone their plates and sat down, folding his hands innocently.
"Well, everyone, please enjoy." Yelan grabbed her fork daintily and indicated that everyone should eat.
Syaoran watched Sakura's face with a triumphant expression as she took a bite. He almost burst out laughing as she made a face similar to a person who had just smelled a skunk. (I smell the smelly smell of something that smells smelly! AHAHAHAHHA!)
She stood up, startling everyone at the table. "Miss Li, may I please go to the kitchen and fetch the drinks?"
Yelan looked at their empty places where their glasses should have been. "I guess Wei forgot to bring them out. Of course you may."
She smiled politely and walked out of the room. She smiled at the butler in the kitchen and she grabbed the lemon juice out of the refrigerator. She poured half of the bottle into his drink and said, "That oughta do it!"
She went over to the sink and rinsed her hands, then put a droplet of water on his glass so she knew it was his. She winked at the man and giggled when he winked back. She took it into the dining room and dished them out.
Syaoran glanced suspiciously at his drink and then at Sakura, who looked down at her salty chicken quickly, making him think that she wasn't watching him. He shrugged and took a drink. Sakura automatically looked up and started giggling as he stood up and ran to the bathroom.
Everyone at the table froze as they heard gagging coming from the bathroom and the water running. Sakura started to laugh harder and tears started rolling down her face. Sakura shut up as a storming Syaoran walked back into the room. He had a murderous look on his face and he pointed accusingly at Sakura.
"You."
