Chapter 4: Eriol's party

Sakura and the gang were preparing for Eriol's birthday. Dammit! They were so late now. They had been to the mall again. The gurls accompanied the boys to buy a suit for the prom. Their moms ordered them to buy now since the prom is after two weeks now.

All of them were worrying for their dates. Well, for sure when they came back to school, the gurls would be asked by many boys. And the boys would like someone to bring for that prom. Alex wanted Sakura so badly to be his date but he wasn't sure if she would agree. And he really felt so pissed of Shaoran; it seemed that Shaoran had a thing for her.

Alex noticed that Shaoran couldn't take his eyes from her and he smiled too much whenever he was talking to Sakura. Also, it seemed that he was taking in every word Sakura said. He wouldn't allow that Li get Sakura away from him.

Sakura and Tomoyo chose the suits for the boys and the boys were so happy they had them. They got back to the house by 7:45 and now they were still dressing up for Eriol's party. They were all in Tomoyo's place and luckily, they had clothes there and they had bought something too from the mall.

Sakura wore a cute pink sleeveless top and low-waist loose pants. With that outfit, her top showed her tiny waist. Tomoyo wore a same purple sleeveless top and violet loose pants. Both of them didn't tie up their hair and they really look completely beautiful. They went down and found the boys waiting for them.

The boys were all wearing loose shirts and elephant pants. (A/n: Well, that's our term for that pants. I don't know how to explain it but that pants are really 'in' nowadays ^_^). They quickly got in Tomoyo's limo and set off to Li's residence.

~* Li's mansion *~

Shaoran and the others were all ready for Eriol's surprise party. The only missing are he and Sakura's gang. Eriol still hadn't come back from his cousin's place. (A/n: I made Nakuru his cousin here.) Nakuru knew about his surprise party so she wouldn't spoil everything up.

Shaoran was beginning to worry because Sakura's gang might not make it. He wanted to see her again even he would be seeing her everyday now in school. Stopping his worries, Sakura's gang entered the room. Meilin and Shaoran came to them and greeted them.

"Hey what's up?" Meilin said.

"I'm glad you can make it," Shaoran said.

"Sorry we're late," said Dan.

"That's ok," Meilin assured them. "Well, the birthday celebrant isn't here yet."

Suddenly, Takashi came running towards them, panting. "Eriol's on his way," he said between breaths.

Shaoran clapped his hands getting everyone's attention. "Our birthday celebrant is on his way. Everybody!!!! Get into your places."

The guests weren't that many. Some went to the light's room; some went to the main light's switches; some went to the main speaker's switches. All had their places except for Shaoran, Meilin and Sakura's gang.

"Xiao!!" called Aki making Shaoran turn around. "Who would be up on stage if I'll be here in the speaker's switched and Takashi would be in the light's section and both of you would open the door?!?"

Shaoran looked around who could be up on stage to play something then out of the blue… "We can be up there," Tomoyo volunteered.

"You guys can play musical instruments?" Meilin asked.

"Yeah," said Mike. "We can play for the birthday celebrant the whole night if you want."

"Thank you," said Meilin. Sakura's gang left their bags in the backstage and went up stage.

They all went to their positions. Sakura gripped on the bass when all the lights were turned off. She was scared of darkness. With her surprise, someone whispered 'it's ok' from her back.

'Alex,' she whispered back. 'But I'm scared.'

'It'll be fine.' With that moment, all lights were turned on as a purple-haired guy entered the room. Everybody cheered a 'happy birthday' and Eriol was so in shock with Nakuru smiling behind him. He thanked his friends and looked at the stage to see who was singing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As soon as the guy entered and Tomoyo had the sight of him, instead of singing of a birthday song, she sang a different song and the whole gang had to keep up with her.

It's gonna be me baby… It's gonna be good baby….

Eriol stared at the gurl whom had the best night sky colored hair. She had a magnificent voice and he was awestruck while watching her.

Time I have been patient for so long… How can I pretend to be so strong? Who can I choose baby? Feeling its true baby If I'm asking you to hold me tight then it's gonna be all night.

Eriol went to Shaoran. "Who are they?" he asked.

"Sakura is the bassist, Dan is the drummer, Mike is the DJ, Alex is the guitarist, Malfoy is the one with the keyboards and Tomoyo is the one singing," Shaoran answered. "We met them this morning. Sakura gave Meilin a dress for the prom and I spoiled her chocolate so we owe them but they're up there, doing a favor again for us. They go in our school too."

It's gonna be Love… It's gonna be great… It's gonna be more then I can take… It's gonna be free… It's gonna be real… It's gonna change everything I feel… It's gonna be sad… It's gonna be true… It's gonna be me baby… It's gonna be you baby…. It's gonna be...Its gonna be Love….

'Same school?" Eriol said, shocked. "You're kidding!! If they are in our school, too, then I would have noticed that Tomoyo's astounding beauty!"

"Love at first sight man!" said Shaoran. "I didn't know they go to Tomoeda University not until this morning. Don't you think Sakura is cute?"

"You can have her man!" said Eriol slapping Shaoran's back. "But don't you dare lay your hands on Tomoyo. She's mine."

"Yeah right," said Shaoran, smiling. "Like as if she's gonna fall for you."

Eriol ignored him and listened to Tomoyo's song.

Time cannot rest our love to be fool. How can you pretend to be so cruel?
Maybe it's me baby… Maybe it's you baby

Maybe it's everything we've been dreaming of… We waited long enough….

"They rock!" commented Meilin to Nakuru.

"Yeah," said Nakuru not looking at Meilin but at Shaoran. She was looking where Shaoran was looking. She was aware of Shaoran's cold moods and his frowns but he was smiling. "Hey, look at your cousin."

Meilin looked at Shaoran and noticed that he was looking at Sakura. "He's looking at Sakura, the bassist, up there," Meilin said. "We met her this morning and she gave me a dress for the prom. Her whole gang is nice. Shaoran really can't take his eyes off from her you know and he ain't admitting that he likes her."

"He won't admit it now but sooner or later he will, for sure," Nakuru said.

It's gonna be love… She looked at the audience and they all applauded. "Happy birthday, Eriol-kun!" she said over the mic.

The whole gang went downstage and everybody praised them. Meilin happily went to them with Nakuru behind her. She introduced Nakuru to the gang and they all shook hands. Meilin called Eriol and he came to them, feeling shy in front of Tomoyo.

"Eriol, this is Sakura, Malfoy, Mike, Alex, Dan and Tomoyo," said Meilin. "Everybody, this is Eriol." Eriol shook their hands and as he held Tomoyo's hand, he felt like not letting it go. Meilin broke him off by 'ahem'.

"You guys are great!" Nakuru said.

"Thank you," the gang answered.

"But wasn't it suppose to be a birthday song for me?" Eriol joked. "Just kidding. I like your song."

"Well, we're about to play a birthday song but somebody out there sang something else," said Dan loudly, allowing Tomoyo to hear it.

"He's right that's why we have just to come along with HER," Mike added.

"I wonder who this HER is," Sakura said, putting her arm around Tomoyo's shoulders. "Do you know who she is, Tomoyo?"

"Fine, fine," said Tomoyo, blushing. "It's me aight? That thing slipped from my mind. I forgot this is a birthday party. I'm sorry ok?" She said to Eriol.

"That's ok," Eriol said. "I like your song anyways. And besides, I'm already 18, I don't need a birthday song." He grinned and excused himself as Shaoran called him.

~* Between Eriol and Shaoran *~

"Hey, you prepared for a song number?" Shaoran asked.

"Why?"

"Nothing, I just want to impress Sakura and I can't do it by myself," said Shaoran.

"Tell me, why do you want to impress Sakura?" came Meilin's voice.

Shaoran jumped seeing Meilin there. "I don't know. That thing just came in my mind. Will you help me?"

"Sure! Just for you my cousin!" said Meilin happily and went up stage.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Nakuru led Sakura's gang to a table and they settled there while watching Meilin, Eriol and Shaoran on stage. They weren't starting yet. They were calling two guys to go up stage and later on, the two guys went up to stage and they began playing.

Sakura watched Shaoran hit the drums and she had to admit that he really is good. She was sitting with Alex who was staring at her without her knowing.

Shaoran: I woke up in a dream today to the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor. Forgot all about yesterday remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore. A little taste of hypocrisy and I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react. Even though you're so close to me, you're still so distant and I can't bring you back.

Eriol: It's true, the way I feel was promised by your face. The sound of your voice painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me, I'm with you.

"They are cool," said Sakura to Tomoyo. But Tomoyo wasn't listening to her. Sakura looked at where Tomoyo was looking and she realized it was Eriol.

Sakura sighed 'fine' and put her back on her chair. "What is it?" Alex asked her.

"Tomoyo is staring at Eriol," Sakura said softly. "She's not even listening to me. Look at her."

Alex looked at her and found out that Sakura was right. She was staring at Eriol. He just smiled and felt happy for himself since Sakura wasn't staring at Shaoran like Tomoyo was doing with Eriol.

You, now I see, keeping everything inside…. You, now I see, even when I close my eyes.

Tomoyo wasn't the only one who wasn't on earth at that time. Malfoy was also unaware of his surroundings. Dan kept talking to him, realizing he wasn't listening but staring at Meilin upstage.

I hit you and you hit me back. We fall to the floor. The rest of the day stands still. Fine line between this and that. When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real. Now I'm trapped in this memory and I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react. Even though you're close to me. You're still so distant and I can't bring you back.

It's true, the way I feel was promised by your face. The sound of your voice painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me, I'm with you.

You, now I see, keeping everything inside…. You, now I see, even when I close my eyes.

No…. No matter how far we've come… I can't wait to see tomorrow with you…

The audience applauded and Shaoran's gang went down stage. Sakura wooed among the audience making Tomoyo AND Malfoy come back to themselves. Tomoyo and Malfoy both blushed at the same time and the gang just laughed at them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Dances came afterwards. Nakuru was the music coordinator of the night playing dance songs. The guests danced with their partners in the dance floor. Shaoran was dying to ask Sakura for a dance but when he had the guts to ask her, he saw her dancing with Alex.

'Maybe he's her boyfriend,' he thought but that thought really broke him into two.

It was a slow dance and Alex held Sakura closely. "So you going out with me on our prom night?" he asked her.

"I'll think about it," she replied. "Don't you think Shaoran's band is cool?"

"Yeah they're great," he said simply not wanting to hold the topic but Sakura continued it.

"They are really great singers and it's such a coincidence they go to the same school like us and we didn't even know them," Sakura said, cheerfully.

"Yeah, what a coincidence," said Alex, sighing.

They danced two more songs and sat down, as dinner would be served. The meal was delicious and after everybody finished eating, Shaoran went upstage.

"Hey everybody, I would like you all to meet our new guests," he said pointing at Sakura's gang. "They were the ones who sang as Eriol entered. I like you all to meet Dan, Malfoy, Mike, Alex, Tomoyo and Sakura." Each of the gang stood up as their names were called and waved at the other guests. "I hope you are all enjoying this party and I shall say… let the party continues!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The whole gang decided to go to the bar and get something to drink. Shaoran's gang was also there. Sakura ordered a glass of vodka and the others ordered beer. The vodka really felt hot over her body and as she was ordering her third glass, her phone rang. It was now 11 in the evening and of course, it was Touya calling.

"What?" she answered loudly.

"Where are you?" Touya asked.

"I'm here on a party in Li's mansion," she answered annoyed hearing her brother's voice.

"Yeah right," said Touya unable to believe what she was saying. "And since when did you meet the Li's?

"Since this morning," she answered. "I'll be home by 3 or something or I'll be staying up in Tomoyo's place." She winked at her gang and they winked back.

"Whatever," Touya said, giving up (again). "Do whatever you want. If you have plans to go back here, I'm sorry to say that I can't leave you breakfast tomorrow again since my work is early in the morning."

"Fine for me," Sakura said. "Ok, good night now. Sweet dreams!"

"Bye!" Then she hung up. Sakura smiled at Shaoran's gang as they heard her talk to her brother that way.

"It's my brother always wanting me to go back home early," she explained simply.

"Oh, you have a brother?" said Aki. "How old is he?"

"Twenty three," she answered.

"Oh I see," replied Aki.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They were all drunk by one in the morning. Sakura had many glasses of vodka now and the others had many bottles of beer. Since Shaoran was so drunk, he had the guts to ask Sakura for a dance. Sakura agreed and left Alex burning with anger.

"It's just a dance," said Dan, who was still aware even he was so drunk of Alex's anger.

~* Dance floor *~

The song was a slow dance and Shaoran and Sakura held each other very close. Shaoran was taking in her fresh blossom scent and touched her soft hair with his hand.

"You guys rock you know," said Sakura.

"Thanks," he replied. "You sing great and you are pretty."

"How can you say so?" she asked wisely.

"Well, I don't know," Shaoran shrugged. "All I know is I want to kiss you right now." 'What did I just say?' he thought. And the other side of his mind answered him, 'you told Sakura you want to kiss her.' 'Damn!'

"Oh really?" Sakura said sarcastically. She didn't believe anything he was saying or maybe she was just drunk not to pay attention of him. "As if you can do that."

"Oh yes I can!" he said proudly, leaned down and kissed her. She closed her own eyes and kissed him back. She had no idea what she was doing! Her mind is spinning with Shaoran's lips over hers and deep inside her, she didn't want to break off.

~* Bar *~

Alex was staring at Shaoran and Sakura. He saw them talking then on a split of second, Shaoran kissed her and she kissed him back. He couldn't take what he was seeing. He didn't dare attack Shaoran so he ordered loads of vodka.

He drunk the vodka continuously and the others couldn't do anything about it. He kept drinking and drinking as he watched the two kissing passionately. "Hey man!" said Mike. "You had had enough. Stop it!"

"I don't want to!" Alex growled. "Get lost!" He pushed Mike back and Mike banged on the table causing a lot of noise. Dan tried to stop him too but he pushed him too.

Sakura broke off the kiss by hearing the noise around them. She looked back at her gang and saw Alex attacking everyone who came near him. She quickly ran towards the bar and was followed by Shaoran.

"What's his problem?" Sakura asked Malfoy helping him stand up.

"He drunk to much vodka, you know," he answered. "Maybe two dozens of glasses continuously within one minute! And when we tried to stop him, he attacked us."

Sakura came towards to Alex who was drinking another glass of vodka but when she came nearer, she realized it wasn't vodka he was drinking; it was cognac liquor. She called out his name and smiled at him. "Hey Lex," she said. "How many glasses have you drunk already?"

"Maybe forty or so," he replied. "Why are you asking?"

"Nothing, I'm just worried about you," she said trying to calm him down. "We all are that's why we want you to stop drinking now."

"Yeah sure," he said, putting his glass down. "Just for you, my lady."

"Thank you," she said softly and kissed him on the cheek. 'Gesture of friends, no big deal about it,' Shaoran kept telling himself as he saw her kissing Alex ON THE CHEEK.

'Why am I so soft towards her?' Alex told his mind. 'And what is it about her that made me give up about something?' He didn't know the answer for that but there was one thing he knew; 'I'm madly in love with her and I don't care if she likes me or not as long as she's happy...'
