Hey, back with the 8th chapter. Now, let me get this out NOW.
IMPORTANT: Do you not read what I had said in the prologue? I only have seen the dubbed version of Card Captor Sakura because I live in the U.S. I am used to the dang *American* names. Sakura lives in JAPAN, like I have said already in the prologue. The only difference is that I am using the American names because it's what I am used to.
I don't want to really change it since I already used his American type name in this story, but I'm going to try and use the Japanese/Chinese names in this story so tell me if I end up spelling any of them wrong, so I can correct them. If I end up using American names somewhere in the middle, then SORRY! Tell me in the review. I'll try my best to get used to typing the Japanese/Chinese names...you just need to give me a chance to get used to it.
Now, on with my chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own CCS/CC or any of its characters.

*Ding Dong*
Sakura got up and answered the door.
"TOMOYO! You came!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Of course. I told you so already yesterday. By the way, I brought a few dresses for you to try on. I haven't had you try on any of them in such a long time!
Sakura sweat dropped at her best friend. "Come on in, Tomoyo."
"Thanks. Where is Li? I haven't seen him in such a long time!"
"Here I am. And you can call me by my first name, you know that already." Syaoran said. "Long time no see, huh?"
"Definitely! Ohohohohohohohohoho! This is great. I brought about 10 dresses for Sakura to try on. Syaoran, you can let us know how Sakura looks in them!" Tomoyo smiled, grinning a little too evilly. Both Sakura and Syaoran blushed.
"S-sure. Why not?" Li said. This made Tomoyo's smile grow even bigger. This was going to be fun.

My Sakura
By DaShyGurl
Chapter Eight:
*~*Leaving Soon Already*~*
*.:.*Syaoran's Point of View*.:.*
I sat nervously in the Syaoranving room. Tomoyo was upstairs having Sakura get in her 20th "outfit" that she had made. I guess she really did mean it when she said that she had a lot of outfits for Sakura to try.
So far, there were some that were OK, other that were just...what's the word to use? Revealing? Yeah, that's the perfect word to describe some of the clothes she got to wear. Others were also nice and looked really good on her. There were ones that hugged every curve on her body and made her look just beautiful.
Tomoyo had said that they were her latest designs and she needed someone to model it for her real quick so she can see if she should make any changes before she makes her latest designs permanent and gets them sold. Sakura couldn't say no to helping her best friend and decided to help being the nice friend she is.
Out of nowhere, Tomoyo suddenly popped up and surprised me.
"Alright, Syaoran, ready to see me next design? It's absolutely gorgeous! I'm sure you'll like it." Tomoyo said.
I just know that the red blush on my face could no way be unseen as I gave a small "yeah."
"Alright, Sakura! Come down and let Syaoran see you."
"Yeah! Tomoyo, I actually like this dress a LOT! It's not too revealing at all!" Sakura said as she descended down the stairs. This caught my attention since Sakura was actually happy about her dress. If _she_ thinks it's not too revealing, then it must not be too revealing.
*.:.*Regular Point of View*.:.*
Syaoran's draw dropped for the umpteenth time that day, but this time, for a different cause. It wasn't because what Sakura was wearing was revealing parts he never imagined he would see and if Touya was here...he'd have to run for his life. No. This time, it was because she looked absolutely gorgeous, just like Tomoyo has said.
Sakura blushed as she saw the same expression on Syaoran's face that she had already seen many times that day. There stood Sakura wearing a nice dress in different shades of pink. It was a simple dress that went up to her knees without the many frills that Tomoyo usually puts. Thin spaghetti straps held the dress in place. The dress itself hugged every curve on Sakura's body and made it look all the more beautiful on her.
"I-I-I-I...uhh..." Syaoran stuttered. 'Damn it, Syaoran, say something! You look like a fool stuttering like an idiot.' Syaoran shouted at himself mentally.
"Wow, Sakura! You look really, ummm..." Syaoran blushed as he realized what he began saying, "very pretty. I really like this dress."
"Really? Me, too! Isn't so nice?" Sakura twirled around once to show him the dress front and back. A slight blush had also come up to Sakura's face from Syaoran's compliment.
As Tomoyo was watching all this, she couldn't help but smile. "Yup! Of course it's nice. After all, I made it just for you!"
Sakura smiled back and said that she was going to go change back so she wouldn't ruin the dress. As she went up stairs, Tomoyo looked back at Syaoran, who was still blushing but not as much as before. She smiled at him and asked, "So? How does it feel to be back? Enjoying your stay here so far?"
"Yeah. It's been fun. How have you been? Still seeing Eriol?"
"I've been great and yes I'm still seeing him. Speaking of Eriol, did you know he is going to go to your house next week?" Tomoyo replied.
"WHAT? Why? That's when I'm going back, too. Ohhh that is so unfair. He is just going there to bug me again, I just know that's his reason." Syaoran said in an annoyed tone. Tomoyo just giggled at him and said,
"Actually, he said he hadn't seen you or your family in quite a while and wanted to drop by for a short visit. I'm probably coming, too. Is that OK if I come, too?"
"Of course! I'm sure Sakura will be happy to hear that. Plus, that means you can keep him busy for me so he won't annoy me anymore." Syaoran replied a little more happily, glad he has a distraction for Eriol. Tomoyo, however, just looked confused.
"Sakura? Is she coming with you back to your home?"
"Ohh, eheheh, yeah. You know, for college." Syaoran said while turning an interesting shade of pink.
"Oh! That's so great! It will be so much fun!" Tomoyo said cheerfully.
"What will be so much fun?" Said a third voice. Tomoyo and Syaoran both looked at the direction of the voice, to find Sakura dressed back in shorts and a shirt.
"I'm going with Eriol to Hong Kong next week, the same time you and Syaoran are going." Sakura's eyes became wide with surprise and then filled with excitement. "I forgot to tell you that Eriol is coming in three days. We are both leaving to go to Hong Kong in a week, so that's... 7 days till we all go. Syaoran just said you're going with him too!" Tomoyo finished.
Sakura screamed in delight and hugged Tomoyo. "This is going to be so much fun! Are we leaving the same day they are, Syaoran?"
"Uhhh yeah. We are. So I guess we will just all leave in my privet airplane since that's how I decided to go back." Syaoran said.
"Great!" Both girls replied in unison. "I'll tell Eriol everything on the phone tonight." Tomoyo said. "I'll tell him to make sure to bring Kero with him, too. I haven't seen him in quite a while."
"OK."
"Sure. And it's a good think Eriol is coming here in three days because that's when daddy gets back too. I can ask him if I can go when he gets here."
"Great! Well then, you guys wanna do something together tonight? I'm free." Tomoyo asked.
Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other quickly at the same time before looking away, both turning different shades of pink and red.
"Umm..."Syaoran began.
"Actually," Sakura cut in, "Syaoran is taking me out on a date tonight. How about tomorrow night?"
"Ohohohohohohoho! This is wonderful! When did he ask you out? Ohhh I wish I had my camera with me. I can't wait till I videotape you both! When will you be leaving? Oh! I have the perfect dress for you Sakura! And..."
"Tomoyo HOLD UP! One question at a time! He asked me out earlier today."
"And no video camera's allowed. Sorry." Syaoran said quickly, still blushing.
"What time you guys going out?"
"Umm...tonight at...is 8 o'clock fine with you, Sakura?"
"Yup, sure is!"
Tomoyo took a look at her wristwatch and said, "It's already 6:30! Wow, we should get you dressed up. I know the perfect dress for you to wear. That last pink dress you wore was perfect. And I know you got the perfect shoes to match with it, too! And the accessories, and your make-up and the your hair and...well, let's get you upstairs and get you ready now, shall we?"
Sakura smiled at her energetic friend. "Sure. While we do that, we can talk about what we can do in Hong Kong together." Both girls started to go up the stairs while Syaoran watched them. They were saying something about having not seen Meilin in a long time. Once both girls reached the stairs, Tomoyo shouted, "I'll have her back all nice and done by 8! Make sure you get dressed and finish on time!" With that, Syaoran heard Sakura's bedroom door shut close. He sighed contently and started to go upstairs himself. After all, he needed a quick shower and to change in something nice. Once he got upstairs, he started to walk toward his bedroom. He stopped when he heard Tomoyo open Sakura's door suddenly say,
"Hey Syaoran?"
"Yeah?"
"Where are you taking Sakura anyway? I just realized she needs to wear something appropriate to where she would be going."
"Oh. I already have that taken care of. We will be going to a nice fancy restaurant and then walk around the park a little bit afterwards."
Tomoyo smiled and said a small "thank you" before going back in the room and shutting the door.
Syaoran sweat dropped and said "No problem" to the shut door. Then he walked back in his room to figure out what to wear before going in the bathroom to take a nice, warm, and quick shower.
To Be Continued...
Well, that's it for this chapter. Sorry that it wasn't that long, I'll try to make the next one longer. And sorry for the long update. Driving school and all the homework we get EVERY single day in driver education class has kept me busy. Plus, I have a test everyday on the two different chapters so that has kept me busy too. I'll try to update a lot sooner next time.
But until then, don't forget to R+R! I want to know what you think of this chapter in your review. Leave a comment or your opinion.
Next chapter will be the big S+S date! Stay tuned for the next chapter and remember to review! Thanks for all those who reviewed my story and stuck to it. I appreciate it a lot!
Until next time,
