~Ball Preparations~

In the ballroom, servants were there, holding one of the many decorations. There was a dais at the head of the room. At the side were many Chinese chairs. The chairs had many carved out designs that were beautiful. Between each chair was a Chinese square table. The King and Queen had decided to give the ball a Chinese look, and they themselves liked it very much.

Sakura, Tomoyo, and Touya had just come back. They saw the ballroom and stood at the door looking in and then touching the Chinese things.

"Kawaii!!" Sakura squealed. She sat in one of the chairs and started fingering the designs on the chairs. They had two dragons with flowers at the side. On the arm of the chair was the same flower.

"Oh this is beautiful!" Tomoyo said. They finished looking and went upstairs to their rooms. Tomoyo took out the long cloth. She got to work on it right away. Just then Sakura noticed Tomoyo didn't have a dress.

"Tomoyo, you don't have a dress!" Sakura said. Tomoyo looked up from the cloth and smiled. She walked over to her closet and took out a dress. It was a traditional Japanese dress. The dress was long and looked like it would cling to Tomoyo's body until it go to the legs, then it would spread out a bit. The sleeves were long wide. There was a sash too. Sakura nodded liking the dress.

"See I have a dress. Yours should be a bit similar." Tomoyo replied. Sakura nodded.

After breakfast the Li family went to the market but Syaoran. Even Meiling went to the village. He stayed home in his room as he looked out the window. A knock came on the door. Syaoran growled unhappily. The door opened without permission Syaoran was about to throw a fit until he saw Eriol.

"Hi my cute descendent!" Eriol said smiling. Syaoran growled at the greeting. Eriol frowned for a second but had a smile on again.

"So did you see the cardmistress?" Eriol asked sitting down on the bed. Syaoran nodded.

"She has captured nearly all the cards. They don't draw power from me anymore." He said. Syaoran continued looking out the window.

"You've been forced to go to the Kinomoto ball, I heard." Eriol said chuckling.

"Yes I have. I'll probably meet the cardmistress. How come the cardcaptor isn't a LI? I mean the card were created by you." Syaoran said. Eriol shrugged. Downstairs the door-opened, chatter was heard.

"Syaoran! Come down! We have an outfit for you!" Someone yelled.

"Oh no!" Syaoran groaned. The two boys walked down the stairs and greeted the sisters. They took a package and unfolded the papers. Out of the package came a green traditional Chinese outfit.

"Do I have to wear it?" Syaoran asked.

"I don't see what's so bad about it." Yelan said. Syaoran gave a sigh and nodded. He took the outfit to his room and dumped it on his bed, then went downstairs.

"Awwww, You didn't wear it!" Faren whined. His other sisters whined too.

"Well you'll see me in it at the ball, sisters." Syaoran said coldly.

"Eriol what about you?" Sheifa asked.

"I'll see to that. Syaoran will help me with it." He answered getting an elbow softly dug into his ribs. He looked at Syaoran's face and smiled. Syoaran just folded his arms.

"Well be sure to see us in out new dresses." Fuutie said happily.

Queen Nadeshiko and King Fujitaka walked into the ballroom. They walked around inspecting the work. Servants greeted the couple warmly. They were much liked in their kingdom for their friendly ways. The ballroom had all the Chinese chairs and tables. A servant came bringing a tray of the tea they would serve. The tea was sweet, Crysantheum tea.

"It's good and sweet, perfect for the young ones. What will you serve it in?" Queen Nadeshiko complimented and asked.

"Queen we'll be serving it in the cup you hold." The servant said politely. Nadeshiko looked at the cup it red with Chinese character that said "luck" and other lovely design." She nodded and put the cup back.

"The ball is tomorrow dear." King Fujitaka said.

"Yes I know, I hope those two will find the one." The Queen said laying her head on his shoulder.

"I doubt it. They are very stubborn especially when it comes to marriage." The King said. The Queen laughed.

"True, all is true." She said.

At night after dinner, the sisters ran upstairs to dress and show off their new dresses. Syaoran groaned unhappily as he sat in his chair. The first to come down was Fuutie. She came down in a Chinese dress but a stylish one. It looked like a robe held together at the top by buttons. The buttons went across the chest from the neck to her waist. At the waist was a sash tied so one side fell to thigh. It had a piece of clothe that went around her arms.

Next was Feimei. She had on a dress that had sleeves that went beyond her hands and hung. It was a dark red dress with a skirt that was the same color and seemed to connect to her top. It was simple. Syaoran was entirely bored and was about to stand up to go to his room. Eriol held him down, and Syaoran sat down sighing.

Faren came with the traditional Chinese dress. It was red with pink flowers sewn into it. There were buttons like Fuutie's dress. Next Sheifa came. She had decided to wear a Japenese dress. It was like a blue robe that wrapped around Sheifa's figure. It was held by a darker blue obi (sash).

"Beautiful girls." Mother complimented. Eriol clapped. The girls giggled happily.
