Yay! Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me...*Pulls Syaoran's hand dances with him* Ahem. Sorry for the wait. *Smiles* Ne wayz, here's ...

Chapter 8

"Wow...it's HUGE!" Sakura said as she looked around her room.

"Isn't it? Tomoyo would be sharing this room with you," Carolyn said leaning against the door.

"Tomoyo? She's coming too?" Sakura squealed.

Carolyn shut her ears with her fingers. "Sakura, please! You're going to break my eardrums," she said testing if she could still hear.

"Oops, sorry," Sakura said sheepishly.

"It's okay. Get some sleep for now. Oyasumi nasai, Sakura," Carolyn said and closed the door.

Once the door closed, Kero flew out of the bag and stretched his tiny arms. "Aah. Finally! I'm out of the bag!"

"Make yourself at home, Kero. Tomoyo would be coming in shortly," Sakura said as she began to unpack her luggage.

"Tomoyo is also going to be staying here?" Kero asked excitedly.

Sakura nodded. "For life...we will be together," she said with a distant look on her face.

Kero flew to his mistresses face and waved his paw across her face. "Uh...Sakura? Sakura~Are you still here?"

"Hoe? What is it, Kero?" Sakura asked.

"Nothing. Just that you looked spaced out just now," Kero said worriedly. "IS something wrong?"

"Iie. I'm just thinking about Yos-Yamamoto-san," Sakura corrected.

"Okay...But Sakura-" What Kero wanted to say was cut off by a knock on the door. He quickly stiffened and fell on the soft carpet.

"Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo said from the door.

"Tomoyo-chan! You can come in now," Sakura said.

The door opened and Tomoyo stepped in, closing the door behind her. She giggled at the sight of Kero on the floor. "It's okay, Kero. It's just me," Tomoyo assured.

"Why don't you two talk while I get some rest? It's been a BIUlongBIU day and I must get up early tomorrow."

"I'll set the alarm clock a few hours earlier for you, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo offered.

"Thanks," Sakura said gratefully. "Good night."

"Oyasumi nasai, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo whispered.

*

*The next morning*

*

*"HOEE!!!!!"

The whole building shook and some birds from a faraway tree flew away when a loud shout was heard.

"Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo said rubbing her sleepy eyes. "What are you doing up so early in the morning?"

"Tomoyo-chan! I'm going to be late!" Sakura exclaimed as she leapt out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.

"Some things never change," Kero commented from beside Tomoyo.

"Hai. But Sakura-chan won't be Sakura-chan if she wasn't," Tomoyo argued and Kero had to agree with her.

"She might be always late but she's OUR Sakura," Kero said.*

*

*At the Studio*

*

*"Where is Sakura?" Carolyn muttered.

"She'll be here," Farah assured. "Hopefully."

Just then, the door burst open. "Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late!" Sakura said gasping.

"Just be lucky that you're not the only one," a husky voice behind her said. Sakura almost jumped out of her skin when she heard a voice.

"Wolf," was what got out of her lips.

"What?"

Sakura kicked him across the shin. "Don't scare me like that EVER again," she warned before heading towards the middle of the room. She tried to hide her laughter, like the rest of the group, at the sight of their IstarI jumping around, holding his hurt knee. "Let's continue, shall we?"

All the dancers took theirplaces, letting a giggle slip every now and then. "Sakura, is it okay if we don't dance to Wolf's songs today?" Carolyn asked.

Sakura smiled. "It would be alright with me...but I'm afraid that I can't. The concert is coming soon and you haven't even practised your steps yet!"

"Aww, Sakura, we know what we have to do. I promise," Brian whined.

Sakura giggled. "Okay, okay. But only ONE song, okay? No more." Sakura looked at Syaoran. "Now, if onlt Mr. Wolf would join us..."

Syaoran growled. "I would have joined you earlier if you hadn't kicked me."

"Well, now that that's settled, let's begin. Get with your partners now, quickly!" Sakura said as she turned on the music. All of them paired up and Syaoran stepped beside Sakura as the music filled the room.

*

*Rhythm, rhythm, rythm, rythm

Start to play,

Dance with me,

Make me swear.*

*

*Like the living ocean,

Like the shore,

Hold me close,

Sway me more.*

*

*All of them danced perfectly across the room, dipping their partners and everything, all rolled into one. 'Hoe...this is going to be a VERY long song' Sakura sighed as Syaoran dipped her.*

*

*After the little 'practise'*

*

"All right, that's all the relaxation for today, let's start on the next song sang by ouw own Wolf," Sakura joked making Wolf look proudly at the dancers, who groaned. "But before that, I want ALL of you to know EVERY dance avaliable in my mind."

The dancers groaned louder at the very idea of dancing more. "Sakura, can't we just relax for the rest of the day?" Jason whined.

"No can do, Jason. Don't worry, if you already learnt it, it won't be that hard. Maybe, I might be nice enough to let you guys off the hook..."

At this, the rest got interested. "Yes??"

"...if you guys get your next dance perfectly. That is, the one for the concert," Sakura finished.

"Sensei," Carolyn whined. "You're a slave driver."

"Hm...maybe I am," Sakura said thoughtfully, earning her a slap from Meredy. "Anyways, let's continue. The faster we finish, the faster you guys can have your rest."

All the dancers cheered and went to their places, quickly. "I can't believe you got them to compramise with you," Syaoran stated, as he stood beside her, facing the large wall mirror, in front of the rest, while she was facing the group.

"Naturally," Sakura replied, smiling. "I even compramised with you before," Sakura said giggling.

"Really?" Syaoran asked, thoughtfully. "I don't recall..."

"Hush. The music is starting."*

*

*[Syaoran] It takes a lot to know what is love,

It's not the big things, but the little things,

That can mean enough.*

*

*[First voice] A lot of prayers to get me through,

And there is never a day that passes by,

I don't think of you.*

*

*[Second voice] You were always there for me,

Pushing me and guiding me,

Always to succeed.*

*

*Sakura was surprised as this is one song she haven't heard but the rest were dancing as if they knew about it a million years ago.*

*

*{CHORUS} [All] You showed me,

[Second Voice] When I was young just how to grow.

[All] You showed me,

[Third Voice] Everything that I should know.*

*

*[All] You showed me,

[Syaoran] Just how to walk without your hands.

'Cause mom you always were,

The perfect fan.*

*

*[First Voice] God has been so good,

Blessing me with a family,

Who did all they could.*

*

*[Syaoran]And I've had many years of grace,

And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face.

I wanna thank you for what you've done.*

*

*Sakura saw that Farah was a little lost and decided to help her get back her pace.*

*

*[Fourth Voice] In hopes I can give back to you.

And be the perfect son.*

*

*{Chorus}*

*

*[All] You showed me how to love,

You showed me how to care,

And you showed me that you would always be there.*

*

*[Syaoran] I wanna thank you for that time,

And I'm proud to say you're mine~*

*

*{Chorus}*

*

*[Fourth Voice] 'Cause mom you always were,

[Third Voice] Mom you always were

[Second Voice] Mom you always were,

[First Voice] You know you always were

[Syaoran] 'Cause mom you always were...the perfect fan.*

*

*Sakura smiled as she saw that the rest were slowing down their movements for the ending of the song.*

*

*[All] I love you, mom.*

*

*Sakura clapped her hands, which echoed throughout the room. "Bravo, bravo," she said. "You guys sure gave me a nice surprise. I never heard of that song before."

"But, we thought you did," Rika said, confused. "Wolf told us that you wanted us to learn this song."

"Oh. I did, did I?" Sakura said, raising an eyebrow at Syaoran. "Anyways, you guys did wonderfully. You can have a brreak now. Later, we will have another song."

All of them nodded slowly and walked out. Each knowing that something was wrong. "So...when exactly did I tell them to learn that dance?" Sakura asked tapping her foot impatiently.

"Um...since now?" Syaoran said sheepishly.

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Don't do that next time. I have more songs for them to practice. When did you tell them that, anyways?"

"Um...yesterday night, I think."

"Wow...they must really wanted to please me," Sakura commented. "So...when did you sing that song? I never heard it in your latest album. And who are the other singers?"

"It's from a single. The 'First Voice' is Eriol Hiirigizawa a.k.a. Sapphire, 'Second Voice' is Jamie Chen a.k.a. Black Eagle, 'Third Voice' is Subaru Haisan a.k.a. Kaiser and the 'Fourth Voice' is Taka Musikiri a.k.a. Tensai," Syaoran replied.

"Hm...never knew you would ever write a song dedicated to your mom," Sakura commented.

"It was Mother's Day and she wanted it to be unique," Syaoran defended.

"Whatever. They're back. Let's get back to business," Sakura stated.

Well, seems like Syaoran is revealing another side of her. Remember to review!!! (As my b-day{birthday} present :P)
