"Oh! Here's my turn," Sakura said, "See you tomorrow!"

"Sure!" Syaoran said.

Li mansion

Syaoran arrived at their mansion and went directly went to his room.

"I don't believe it!" Syaoran shouted, "I can't believe I said that!"

Syaoran suddenly changed his expression, "Why do I bother buying this," He said while holding the emerald box, "I don't know what came into my mind and bought this thing?!"

Kinomoto residence

Like Syaoran did she directly went to her room. "That's why he was nice to me when I sprained my ankle," Sakura thought, "He wants to be friends with me…"

"Hey Sakura!" Keroberus said, "What's up!"

"What do you want?" Sakura sighed.

"Please take me to Eriol's birthday," Keroberus said with puppy dog eyes, "Please! Please! Please!"

"How did you know that Eriol's going to celebrate his birthday?" Sakura asked.

"You left the invitation lying around your room," Keroberus replied, "Could I go?"

"Sure, sure," Sakura said, "But in one condition."

"What condition?" Keroberus said while looking very scared.

"Don't go out of my bag," Sakura yelled.

"Sure! Why not?" Keroberus answered.

October 13

Sakura wore a beautiful black dress with matching black gloves.

"Sakura!" Keroberus said (He just wore a black ribbon), "You sure look beautiful!"

"You think so?" Sakura eagerly said, "Tomoyo made this outfit for me."

Sakura applied her lip gloss and said, "Kero-chan, let's go! We don't want to be late."

"Don't forget your gift," Keroberus said as he gives Sakura's gift.

Eriol's mansion

The place was beautiful. You could feel that the place was covered by stars… like it was made by magic. Everyone was enjoying the party except for…

"Eriol," Nakuru said (She wore a beautiful red gown and her hair was turn into an elegant bun), "Would you like to dance."

"No thank you," Eriol replied (He wore a black tuxedo), "You go ahead."

"Okay," Nakuru said with a smile, "I'll just go and ask Yukito then… you enjoy okay! It's you birthday… go have fun!"

"Sure," Eriol replied.

Someone approached Eriol and said, "Hi! Am I late?"

Eriol's frown turned into a smile when she saw the girl, "No, Tomoyo."

"I'm so glad… here's your gift," Tomoyo said with her sweet voice (she wore an amethyst gown which match her eyes and her hair was in beautiful curls).

"You shouldn't have," Eriol said while a sweet smile, "But thank you anyway."

Then a girl with auburn hair came in. She got everyone's attention because of her beauty. She approached Eriol and Tomoyo and said, "Eriol, here's your gift. Hi Tomoyo… you sure looked beautiful today."

"Thank you, Sakura," Eriol and Tomoyo said.

As Sakura turned back, she saw men who want to dance with her. But Sakura approached a boy in the corner and said, "Syaoran why aren't you having fun?"

Syaoran blushed (he wore a black tuxedo) and said, "No, it's okay."

The song changed into a slow one and Syaoran said, "Would you like to dance?"

"Sure," Sakura said with a smile.

They went to the dance floor and Sakura placed her hands on his shoulder and Syaoran placed his on her waist.

When they went to the dance floor many followed like Touya and Kaho, Nakuru and Yukito and Chiharu and Yamazaki. But Eriol and Tomoyo just stood near the food. "They look like a perfect couple… don't you think so?" Tomoyo asked as she taped Sakura and Syaoran.

"Yes," Eriol replied as he got closer to Tomoyo.

Tomoyo is starting to panic and said, "Would you like to eat?"

"No thank you," Eriol said, "but would you…"

Eriol turned to Tomoyo and accidentally… kissed her. They blushed and got away from each other and Eriol said, "Sorry."

Tomoyo was shocked and thought, "Even if it's an accident his lips was warm."

"Tomoyo, are you alright?" Eriol said in a concern way, "I'm sorry."

"No, I'm fine," Tomoyo replied.

They couldn't look at each other. "What's this?!" Eriol thought, "I could not even look at her right now."

"Tomoyo Daidouji it's nothing," Tomoyo thought, "But my heart beats so fast right now… I can't look at him at the eye… what's happening?"

Dance Floor

Sakura got closer to Syaoran as the dance goes on and Syaoran did the same. "I can't control it," Syaoran thought, "My heart beats so fast as if it wants to jump."

"I feel warm inside," Sakura thought, "Why?"

But someone came in and became very irritated as she saw Sakura and Syaoran. "Syaoran come here!" The girl with ruby eyes and long black hair said.

"Meilin? What are you doing here? I thought you were at Hong Kong," Syaoran said with a confused look.

But Meilin didn't listen and dragged Syaoran away from the dance floor. Syaoran didn't notice that he dropped something. Sakura pick it up and said, "Hey! You dropped something."

Syaoran didn't hear those words and Sakura said, "Wait a minute, this is the box he tried to hide from me."

Two figures showed up and said, "Sakura isn't that Meilin?"

"Yes Tomoyo that was Meilin," Sakura replied still looking at the box.

"Who's Meilin?" Eriol asked Tomoyo.

"She is Syaoran's cousin," Tomoyo said in a depress way, "and his fiancée."

"He never told me that," Eriol said in the same manner as Tomoyo.

Sakura jus stared at the box and opened it. It contained a necklace with an emerald pendant and it has a card that says:

Ying Fa (Am I right? Is this the Chinese name of Sakura?)

                                Wo ai ni… 

                                                                Xio-lang

"Um… Eriol just wait a minute," Sakura said with a confuse look.

"What is it?" Eriol replied.

"Do you know what this means?" Sakura said as she gave Eriol the card.

Eriol read it and was shocked. "Eriol what is it?" Sakura said in concern manner.

"It's Chinese," Eriol replied, "Can't read it. Sorry."

"Why did I lie?" Eriol thought, "I should have said that he loves her."

"How did you know?" Tomoyo interrupted.

"Because Xio-lang is Syaoran's real name," Eriol replied.

"At least we know it's his," Sakura said, "I better give it to him."

Sakura left Eriol and Tomoyo. "Tomoyo… I know what this means," Eriol said in a guilty manner.

"Why didn't you tell Sakura?" Tomoyo said.

"I want Syaoran to say it to her," Eriol replied.

"What does it mean anyway?" Tomoyo asked.

"Ying Fa is Sakura's name in Chinese and wo ai ni means," Eriol said in a serious manner, "it means that he…"

"That he?" Tomoyo mocked Eriol.

"I can't tell you," Eriol said, "but I can tell you that our plan worked."

Meilin and Syaoran's conversation

"What do you mean go back to Hong Kong?!" Syaoran exclaimed.

"Yes," Meilin happily said, "Yelan said you need to go back because of your training."

Sakura over heard the conversation and dropped the box and left. Syaoran heard that the box fell and looked at Sakura running. He picked up the box and said, "Sakura…"

"What am I doing?!" Sakura said, "Why do I feel sad?!"
