"Yes, Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked, sweetly. 'TOO sweetly' Sakura noted.
"Um...can you do me a favour?" Sakura asked, unsurely. 'Maybe I should change my mind...'
"Sure!" Tomoyo said happily. "But only if you do something for me."
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. "What condition is that?" she asked.
"You tell me yours first, before I decide," Tomoyo said firmly.
"Um...do you...remember Syaoran?"
"Who?"
"Syaoran. Syaoran Li Xiao Lang," Sakura repeated. "Our best friend who left for Hong Kong ten years ago?"
"Oh...that pip squeak?" Tomoyo asked remembering.
"Yea...he's coming back this Saturday..."
"So?" Tomoyo asked.
"Um...i actually sent him a FEW mails under your name so..."
"You were wondering if I could pretend I sent them," Tomoyo said with a sigh. Sakura nodded nervously. "Okay..."
Sakura's head shot up. "Really?"
Tomoyo nodded. "Under ONE condition."
"What's that?"
"You become my model for this Sunday's modelling competition," Tomoyo said happily.
"Hoe..."
"Will you do it or not?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura thought for a while. 'For Syaoran's happiness...' she thought to herself.
"Alright. I'll be one of the models..."
Tomoyo stopped her. "Not ONE of the models. You will ONLY model my clothes. We have to bring our own models ^^."
"Hoe..."*
*
*
*
*Fast-forward to Saturday, 24/5 at the airport*
*
*
*
*"Where are they?" Sakura asked, looking for her crush. She was wearing a normal shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the bottom tied under her brests, it showed her cleavage, and a normal but tight-fitting jeans which hung on her hips, showing her middle.
"Calm down, Sakura. They are coming," Fujitaka assured. Touya just stood there, glaring at everyone who took at least three glances at Sakura. "There they are!"
Sakura's heart leapt as she saw two tall figures coming out. One of them looked around and saw them before heading towards them. "I think they just saw us," Tomoyo commented. She was wearing a pair of blue tight-fitting jeans and a shirt which showed her stomach.
"Fujitaka!" a woman cried rushing to him.
"Yelen! Nice to see you again!" Fujitaka said smiling widely. They hugged for a while before Yelen looked around. Her gaze fell on an auburn-haired girl, who was looking rather distressed.
"My, is this little Sakura?" Yelen asked, making Sakura look up and force a smile.
"Nice to see you again, Li-san," Sakura said politely.
"Now, child, no need to be so formal," Yelen said as she hugged her.*
*
* While Yelen and Fujitaka exchanged hugs, Sakura noticed a handsome young man with a built body and unruly hair near her.
"He's gorgeous," Tomoyo whispered excitedly. Sakura nodded as she saw him heading towards her. She held her breath...as Syaoran walked past her and straight to Tomoyo.
He held her hand and kissed it. "Nice to meet you again, fair Tomoyo. I must admit that you look preetier than you did ten years ago," he said huskily.
Tomoyo giggled at his choice of words. "I must say that you had chaged yourself," she flirted.
Sakura couldn't bear to watch the scene so she turned her head to gaze at the floor, trying to hide her tears. However, Touya saw a tear drop and shook his head symphetically.
"My, is this little Sakura?" Yelen asked, breaking her thoughts. She forced her tears to stop as she looked up.
"Nice to see you again, Li-san," Sakura said politely.
"Now, child. No need to be so formal," Yelen replied and hugged her tightly. She let her gaze wander off to Syaoran and Tomoyo who were still flirting with one another. Yelen somehow felt this and whispered, "You still have feelings for him, child?"
Sakura pulled back and looked at her puzzledly. "I don't know what you are talking about, Li-san."
Yelen shook her head. " Shall we go?" she asked, changing the subject.
Fujitaka and Touya nodded and picked up the luggages. Sakura took one last look at Syaoran before following them to the limo. "Tomoyo-chan, can you please drop me at the basketball court?" Sakura asked when she got into the limo.
Tomoyo was sitting in the front seat while Syaoran was just behind her. Skura sat beside Syaoran and Yelen was beside her. "Of course, Sakura-chan. But how are you going to play in those clothes?" Tomoyo asked evilly. She would do almost anything to make Sakura stop playing sports...but she always failed.
"You know how this shirt is, Tomoyo-chan. You designed it," Sakura stated. She pulled her pants higher, rolled down her sleeves, buttoned her shirt and let go of the knot tying her shirt. "Have you got a brush?"
Tomoyo pouted and handed her a brush. Sakura fixed her hair in about ten strokes. "My, is Sakura getting a little vainer?" Sakura laughed as she tied up her hair in a ponytail.
"If you think I'm vain, you haven't seen anything yet," Sakura stated as she handed back Tomoyo her brush. Before she pulled her hand back, she mischeviously messed up Tomoyo's hair, making her shriek.
"Sakura-chan!" She pulled out her braid and started to comb her hair again. "Mou! I will get you back someday!"
"Let me help," Syaoran said as he messed up Sakura's hair. "Don't give her the brush!"
Sakura sighed at how Syaoran protected Tomoyo. She pulled out her ponytail and ran her fingers through it and pulled it down before tying her hair again. "Tomoyo-chan, don't forget I have to go to the basketball court," Sakura reminded.
"Hai, hai," Tomoyo said.
"Oh, Tomoyo? I got a present for you," Syaoran stated as he pulled out a camcorder from his back.
"Oh! A camcorder! I had been wanting this for a LONG time! Thank you, Syaoran!" Tomoyo squealed.
Syaoran smiled. "You're welcome," he said.
"Now, I can tape Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo said happily.
Sakura sweatdropped. "Ano...Tomoyo-chan? The basketball court?"
"Oh yeah. Wufei, please go to the basketball court," Tomoyo said to her driver.
"Yes, misses," Wufei replied. After a few turns, they reached the basketball court.
"Arigato, Wufei," Sakura said happily as she got off. Surprisingly, Tomoyo got off as well, with Syaoran following.
"Wufei, please bring Mrs. Li back to the Kinomoto household. I'lll stay here," Tomoyo ordered.
"Ano...Tomoyo-chan? Don't you mind? I have to be here for at least four hours," Sakura said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Sakura-chan. I'll just tape you," Tomoyo said happily.
Sakura shrugged. "It's your choice," she said before running away. "Hey, guys! Can I join?"
All of them looked up. "Sure, Sakura-chan!" most of them called out. "We were about to begin."
"Wow, I never knew that Sakura was so atheletic," Syaoran stated. "Back in Hong Kong, the boys wouldn't WANT a girl to play basketball with them."
"Actually, it's the same here, but the guys had been beaten by Sakura before," Tomoyo said, taping Sakura. "After all, she IS the best."
"What about you?" Syaoran asked.
Tomoyo shook her head. "I'm never as good as Sakura."
"Oh." Syaoran said as he watched them play. He was never interested in basketball...and only the one who wrote him letters knew that he prefereed soccer.
"Hey, Syaoran, why don't you play with them?" Tomoyo asked.
Syaoran stared at her. "I don't like to play basketball, remember?" he said.
"What?" Tomoyo said in confusion and remembered what Sakura told her. "OH, yees. Now I remember...Sorry, I must have been dreaming."*
*
*
*
Two hours later*
*
*
*
*Sakura moved smoothly across the court. The scores are 48-50...and she was on the losing side. In addition to this, there was only 10 seconds left. 'Concentrate, concentrate' she kept chanting in her head. She was one of the fastest players, with the rest behind her, but one of them somehow got in front and blocked her way. 9...
'I'm within range' Sakura thought. She reached her opponent and positioned the balll above her head, ready for shooting. 8...7...
'She's going to shoot' the opponent thought and jumped as high as he could. Sakura smiled before taking a step back. "Fake!" the opponent cried out.6...5...
Sakura positioned herself again. 4...3...This time, she really shot. Everyone, even Syaoran and Tomoyo, held their breaths as they watch the ball move in slow motion to the hoop. 2...There was utter silence when they heard a 'whoosh' sound of the ball entering the hoop. 1...
*Beep*
"Yay!"
All of them were jumping with joy, some even hugging Sakura. "Way to go, Sakura!"
"We won!"
"I knew that you were the best!"
Syaoran stared at the spot where Sakura had shot. It was just behind the largest half-circle. 'Three pointer' he thought.
Sakura laughed giddily. "Even after a game, I'm still energetic!" she said giggling. She looked around and saw a few people playing soccer before her smile broke into a huge grin. "Anyone up for a game of soccer?" she asked innocently, making them groan.
Syaoran waited to see if Tomoyo would ask him whether he wants to join or not. He was actually quite surprsed when Tomoyo didn't even asked him.
"We're missing one person..." Sakura said as she looked around the field. Her eyes wandered until they fell on two figures on the bench. Grinning happily, she walked over to them.
"Uh oh," Tomoyo said as she saw the 'look' Sakura gave her.
"Ne, Tomoyo-chan~..."
"The answer is 'NO', Sakura. You know that I am weak at these sports," Tomoyo said, shaking her head.
"Mou. Tomoyo-chan keeichi," Sakura said pouting. "Syaoran, would you like to join us? I know that it's your favourite sport."
Syaoran stared at Sakura. How did she know? The one who should know should have been Tomoyo unless...Syaoran stared at Sakura again. Nah. Not possible. "Onegai."
Syaoran sighed. "Okay," he said finally before Sakura jumped.
"Let's go!" she said happily.*
*
*
*
Another two hours later*
*
*
*
*Sakura was breathing hard. She must admit, playing basketball and then soccer had its toll. "One more minutes," she said to herself.
"Hey, Sakura."
Sakura looked up and saw one of her best friends, Jamie. "Yeah?"
Jamie winked. "Keep it up," he said. Sakura smiled. She could always count on Jamie.
"Alright, let's win this game," she said determinedly. Syoran grinned.
"You're going down, girl," he said playfully, making her laugh. "Why didn't you send me any mails?"
Sakura's smile flatered. "You didn't ask me to," Sakura replied softly, but loud enough for Syaoran to hear. She caught the ball shot at her and ran away with it expertly.
"Do you need my premission?" Syaoran asked as he tried to get the ball from her.
"Yes!" Sakura yelled before she shot as hard as she could into the goal. Just then, the time is up. "Alright!"
"Yeah! Sakura!" her teammates shouted, running to hug her. "We got a tie!"
Sakura sighed. "That's good."
"Great job, Sakura," Jamie said hugging her and kissed her cheek. "That's for you."
"Aww, thanks," Sakura said smiling. Syaoran saw the little 'scene' and didn't knew what came over him. He punched Jamie in the face, making him statter backwards. "Jamie!" Sakura shouted, walking over to him to help, before she was stopped by Syaoran.
"Stay away from him, Sakura. He has no right to kiss you like that. He's not your husband or boyfriend," Syaoran stated.
Sakura saw red. She thought about all the times when Syaoran kissed Tomoyo.
*Smack*
"At least he's better than you!" Sakura shouted, startling most of the people on the field. "At least he's my friend! Who are YOU? You're not my husband, not my boyfriend, heck, you aren't even my friend!" Sakura shouted. "You're not ANYONE to me but you treat me as if I belong to you only! IF that's what you think, well, think again, mister!" Sakura shouted before turning and running off. She hid her face in her hands to hide her tears.
"Hey, Jamie, are you all right?" one of his friends asked.
Jamie glared at Syaoran. "Yea. I'm fine. Let's find Sakura fast before this gaki here make her cry again. All of them nodded and spread out in search of Sakura. "I'm warning you. Don't you dare hurt my little sister," Jamie threatened. (Um...he's sort of like a big brother to Sakura so...)*
*
*
*
At a park*
*
*
*
*"Stupid Syaoran. Who did he think he is? Ordering me around," Sakura mumbled as she swing herself.
"Need help swinging?"
"Not anymore," Sakura said as she quickly got off the swing and started to walk away. "See ya."
"Sakura, wait," Syaoran said as he grabbed her wrist.
"That's Kinomoto to you, buster," Sakura said freeing her hand. Syaoran kept quiet but followed her all the way to her house. "Tadaima," Sakura said as she took off her shoes and ran all the way to her room.
"Okaeri!"
Touya heard her stomping up the stairs and came out of the living room. "Watch it, kaijuu. I don't want to hear that there is an earthquake in Tomoeda," he yelled grinning.
"I'm not a kaijuu!" Sakura's response was heard.
Touya grinned and turned to look at Syaoran. "She had changed, hadn't she?" he said. "Come on, I'll show you your room."
"Yea...she changed...and so have you," Syaoran said.
"What do you mean?"
"Are you really Kinomoto Touya?" Syaoran said as he got to a fighting chibi mode. (You know those modes they get when they are arguing?So kawaii!!)
"What is that supposed to mean, you Chinese gaki?" Touya ordered.
"Nevermind. You're the old Touya alright," Syaoran said returning to normal. "Now where's my room again?"
Touya growled. "The one upstairs last door on your right."
They walked up while Syaoran carried his bags. "Whose rooom is this?" Syaoran asked, pointing at the door beside his.
"That's the kaijuu's. Do anything stupid and I'll have you thrown outside."
"Hai, hai," Syaoran said. "I'm not hungry so I will most probably don't eat dinner."
"Okay, suit yourself," Touya said. "Wish I had an excuse like you..." he muttered but was heard by Syaoran.
"Why?"
"Today's Sakura's turn to cook..."
"Oh." Syaoran's stomach growled.
"You sure you don't want to eat dinner?" Touya asked.
Syaoran sighed. "Guess I have no choice..."*
*
*
*
Dinner*
*
*
*
*"Sakura, please pass me the salad."
Sakura obediently handed the salad plate to her father. "Ne, otou-san, where's Li-san?"
"She's staying over at the Daidouji mansion. Apparently, Sonomi demanded that," Fujitaka replied.
"Then why didn't the gaki go there as well?" Touya asked.
"I told her that Sakura wanted him to stay here and she didn't retort."
Syaoran was surprised to hear that Sakura wanted him to stay there. "I'm done." Sakura stood up and gathered her plate. "I'm going to study in my room."
"Sakura?" but Sakura was gone.
"I swear, that girl is strange. One minute she's happy, the next, you won't know," Touya said shaking his head. Fujitaka just smiled.*
*
*"Sakura?" Syaoran said, knocking on her door. He heard some urgent clicks before Sakura opened the door.
"Yes?"
Syaoran looked past her and flared up when he saw Jamie sitting on her bed with the laptop on his lap. "We have to talk."
"I'm sure that whatever you have to say can wait, so we'll talk tomorrow."
"This is urgent, Sakura," Syaoran said.
"And so is this project," Sakura snapped. "Talk with me tomorrow," she said, closing the door in his face. Syaoran was totally surprised. He heard some talking before Sakura giggle and Jamie chuckle.*

"Oh...that pip squeak?" Tomoyo asked remembering.
"Yea...he's coming back this Saturday..."
"So?" Tomoyo asked.
"Um...i actually sent him a FEW mails under your name so..."
"You were wondering if I could pretend I sent them," Tomoyo said with a sigh. Sakura nodded nervously. "Okay..."
Sakura's head shot up. "Really?"
Tomoyo nodded. "Under ONE condition."
"What's that?"
"You become my model for this Sunday's modelling competition," Tomoyo said happily.
"Hoe..."
"Will you do it or not?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura thought for a while. 'For Syaoran's happiness...' she thought to herself.

"What do you mean?"
"Are you really Kinomoto Touya?" Syaoran said as he got to a fighting chibi mode. (You know those modes they get when they are arguing?So kawaii!!)
"What is that supposed to mean, you Chinese gaki?" Touya ordered.
"Nevermind. You're the old Touya alright," Syaoran said returning to normal. "Now where's my room again?"
Touya growled. "The one upstairs last door on your right."
They walked up while Syaoran carried his bags. "Whose rooom is this?" Syaoran asked, pointing at the door beside his.
"That's the kaijuu's. Do anything stupid and I'll have you thrown outside."
"Hai, hai," Syaoran said. "I'm not hungry so I will most probably don't eat dinner."
"Okay, suit yourself," Touya said. "Wish I had an excuse like you..." he muttered but was heard by Syaoran.
"Why?"
"Today's Sakura's turn to cook..."
"Oh." Syaoran's stomach growled.
"You sure you don't want to eat dinner?" Touya asked.
Syaoran sighed. "Guess I have no choice..."*

*"Sakura, please pass me the salad."
Sakura obediently handed the salad plate to her father. "Ne, otou-san, where's Li-san?"
"She's staying over at the Daidouji mansion. Apparently, Sonomi demanded that," Fujitaka replied.
"Then why didn't the gaki go there as well?" Touya asked.
"I told her that Sakura wanted him to stay here and she didn't retort."
Syaoran was surprised to hear that Sakura wanted him to stay there. "I'm done." Sakura stood up and gathered her plate. "I'm going to study in my room."
"Sakura?" but Sakura was gone.
"I swear, that girl is strange. One minute she's happy, the next, you won't know," Touya said shaking his head. Fujitaka just smiled.*

*"Sakura?" Syaoran said, knocking on her door. He heard some urgent clicks before Sakura opened the door.
"Yes?"
Syaoran looked past her and flared up when he saw Jamie sitting on her bed with the laptop on his lap. "We have to talk."
"I'm sure that whatever you have to say can wait, so we'll talk tomorrow."
"This is urgent, Sakura," Syaoran said.
"And so is this project," Sakura snapped. "Talk with me tomorrow," she said, closing the door in his face. Syaoran was totally surprised. He heard some talking before Sakura giggle and Jamie chuckle.*

That's all for this chapter! What do you think? It's not like StarJade's anymore, is it? Btw, what do you guys mean when you said that my wording is 'similar' to Little Wolf LOVER's?? Isn't it normal??
