Famous and Hating It
Chapter Fourteen: A Problem Ambush
Tomoyo smiled proudly. She liked this Joanne girl, she really appreciated the hard work she underwent to get these pictures and most of all recognized her as a talented photographer. They were discussing the many aspects of photography and posing.
Tomoyo and Joanne lost track of time pretty quickly. They were lost in their discussions and pleasant conversations on life and everything else. Tomoyo couldn't believe she was bonding so well with someone that was probably much older than herself.
"So will you sell those phenomenal pictures?" Joanne asked
"Sure I will Jo, but at a very high price what will you offer?" Tomoyo giggled going through some of Jo's achievements that was either photographed or listed in one of her tiny pamphlets.
"Well I'm offering the $10, 000 win, for every single photo, how's that sound Tomoyo?" Joanne offered, "We can probably earn it back if we raise the prices of these photos as posters…"
"That's fantastic! So will that same offer stand if I continue to supply you with pictures?" Tomoyo queried
"Of course, this is so great! My husband will love me for this!" Jo exclaimed
"Glad to hear it Jo!" Tomoyo smiled. They were both doing each other a big favour without knowing it.
~*~*~*~*~ Xie Ing~*~*~*~*~
Her eyes flickered to her watch. Perfect timing, just this morning Naoko promised to arrive there in Japan at about 4.30pm, now it was 3.30pm. Xie Ing couldn't help herself from snickering at the though of how easily she would ambush Naoko. It was almost too simple!
She jerked her head to the tv screen with all the scheduled times. She couldn't wait, victory never tasted so sweet. Once she took Naoko to Klipino, life would be so cool for her, hell she'll even have a little slave. How perfect!
She found a public seat and sat down leaning back and stretching, all she had to do know was wait for Naoko's landing and she'd be home free. She took out her bag shuffling through it and stopping when she felt a plastic sleeve. She took it out and examined the photo of Naoko. She had stolen from one of Sakura's albums. She predicted that Naoko would look nearly the same as this photo as it was sent to Sakura just months before.
Her eyes got lost in the photo as she suddenly felt a small jolt, it was a tinge of guilt, the fact that she would turn another girl's life into a hell hole and use her as bait for some of her closest friends. What she was doing was barbaric, totally ruthless, yet here she was doing it. Her guilt seemed to swell a bit before she shook all those feelings off. She couldn't be guilty, not now, this was for iheri friends. Nothing else would ensure their safety from Klipino. She had to do this.
~*~*~*~*~Syaoran~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran was glad that he was currently in Japan, so was Meiling considering she was already going out really late. Syaoran on the other hand was planning a surprise for Sakura the following day. Life was so good, this was all he ever wanted, to be with Sakura.
He looked at one of the polaroids that Tomoyo let him keep, it was so beautiful, they were so good together.
Suddenly the hotel phone rang and he recognized the voice on the other side as his mother's.
"Hey Mom, how are you?" Syaoran asked
"Not too bad but you're coming back to Hong Kong tonight, your flight leaves in 2 hours, get to the airport now, services are going to pack up your stuff."
"Wha-Ho-Whe-What!? And Meiling? What the hell?" Syaoran demanded lost for words.
"You are needed back here, there's a price to being famous you know, and Meiling may decide whether to return with you or to remain in Japan" His mother replied
"If this is the price to be famous I don't want any of it! I can't be without Sakura! I'll give up everything to be with her!" Syaoran yelled.
"Well then it would be a different story if you had the choice of giving up everything and being with this girl or giving up the girl and have everything. You do NOT, however, have that choice, you're needed back here in China. I'll explain later and I apologize for my bluntness but this is important!" his mother snapped in an outrageous yet calm way.
"But-" Syaoran began
"I'll see you tonight" His mother intercepted quickly as the dial tone echoed in Syaoran's ear. Before he even had the chance to process the awful news that he had just been given, the doors to his hotel were opened and in came some of the clans men.
Syaoran felt just like screaming, but he knew better so he silently began packing to help the men and telling them which he needed first before leaving the apartment and heading to Sakura's house.
He reached the girl of his dream's house with only around 2 mins to spare, he was supposed to be at the airport 2 hours prior to the boarding time but how could he leave without saying goodbye, but then again how could he actually say goodbye.
He sat in his green convertible outside of Sakura's house contemplating how to say bye or whether or not he would actually draw enough courage to say bye at all.
He remained frozen for what seemed like eternity in his car, before he knew it his time was out, he spent his last 2 minutes arguing with himself whether or not he would say goodbye, whether or not he would be able to see his love hurt, whether or not he could ever see her cry.
His time was up and he had decided to not say goodbye to her face, it was too hard as it was… He would maybe call her afterward, with that his car accelerated and disappeared in the distance. It took all his will power to not look back…
~*~*~*~*~Xie Ing~*~*~*~*~
Xie Ing's thoughts must of just kept running through her mind non-stop because before she knew it, the telecom announced that Naoko's flight had just landed.
Xie Ing sighed sadly, there was no turning back now, not if she had reached this far anyway. So she slung her bag over her shoulder after she picked up Sakura's phone. She thought for a second then realized that they had to turn off their phones during the flight, hopefully Naoko had turned hers on again.
She knew that she'd have to wait at least half an hour for Naoko to go through quarantine and visa and everything else, the quickest way is to kidnap her before that…
Xie Ing quickly wrote 'Meet me @ th arprt toilets. I'll w8 4 u there, im in a tite spot rite now. Pls just com NOW its an emergency. Luv Saku' as an sms and sent it to Naoko's cell.
With that she dashed to the nearest airport toilet, the one closest to where Naoko probably was.
In a few minutes Sakura's cell vibrated and beeped, Xie Ing flashed it out and saw the words '1 message received' on it, quickly she selected the option to open it, it was from Naoko, 'k ill c u in a few secs hon' was the message. A devilish grin formed on her lips as she moved to the sink awaiting Naoko's arrival.
Only moments later did the toilet doors burst open to reveal a sexy looking Naoko who now had a light tan and golden streaks of blond in her long layered hair. Xie Ing had to admit, she now had looks to die for, but other than the few changes and obvious growth in height, she was the same ole Naoko everyone loves.
She burst through looking quite anxious and without hesitation she turned to Xie Ing hoping to get answers.
~*~*~*~*~Naoko~*~*~*~*~
She burst through the doors and approached the first person she saw. Without hesitation she asked flat out "Have you seen a girl with auburn brown hair and emerald eyes?"
"Umm… I don't think so… Oh wait a second, there was a brown haired girl with green eyes that came through that door a few minutes ago, she seemed pretty distraut and went in side that toilet." Xie Ing lied pointing to one of the toilet cubicles.
"Thank you so much" Naoko thanked as she turned to the cubicle that Xie Ing indicated so that her back was to Xie Ing.
"NO, thank you" Xie Ing corrected evilly and getting her bag, she slammed it on Naoko's head, "Big mistake turning your back to me, didn't anyone tell you never to do that?" Xie Ing teased humorlessly to the now unconscience Naoko as she dragged her lifeless nody away…

Soooo sooory I haven't updated in aaaaaaaaages… I'm so sorry I've just been so busy… I'm trying to end all my stories with an ending that's somewhat acceptable so they won't finish with an 'A/N: I'm sick of writing and there won't be anymore chapters' LOL… I haven't really had enough time for anything these few weeks and I'm trying so really hard. Thanks for all your great encouragement though, without all your great reviews I would have just stopped writing…
It's probably obvious now that I'm not so into wtritting fanfics now, but it's not so much of 'I'm sick of it' it's more like, I have no time for it… My creativity level is at its lowest *WRITERS BLOCK* and life is incredibly…awkward… So much has been happening in my social life …
Well to put things short my updates won't be as good as b4 and I'll be a lot slower… Thanks for all the past encouragement and I'm hoping you've liked the story so far, sorri about the mean kidnap of Naoko and twist of Syao's leave… This story won't be flat out boring so it'll have a few twists and turns here and there…
Thx 4 ur patience and stay tuned!
