Chapter 6: oz and riley
Touya was alone at home… again. He was expecting that since tonight was Sakura's prom. She didn't even tell him who would be her date. He just hoped the guy who was with her right now was trustworthy and wouldn't do anything naughty to her.
He sighed and had a glimpse of their family pictures pinned up on the wall. Sakura was just ten and Touya was seventeen. She was wearing her cheerleading uniform and Touya was carrying her in his arms. She was smiling cheerfully and Touya had his usual smirk in his face. Nadesico and Fujitaka were beside them holding each other arms. Touya smiled on the picture and wished his sister would be just like the same.
Touya was been thinking that the reason why Sakura had changed was because their parents left for abroad to work and he, too was now old enough to have a night-time job. She had ran off with a rock band and even though he knew her band mates, he wanted the real she to be back.
-= Prom reception =-
Syaoran came back to Sakura with her glass of vodka, not wanting to mention what had just been between him and Alex a while ago when he went on the bar. Sakura remained silent with him since she had no idea what to talk about. They were just acquaintance but she had kissed him already during Eriol's party and she didn't know what was that about.
She sighed when she finished her vodka though she tried her best not to finish it quickly. Syaoran noticed that her drink was finished so he asked her if she wanted more. "No thank you," she said replied.
"Are you sure?" Syaoran said. He was about to ask her for a dance again but Alex came over.
"Hey, Sakura," Alex greeted with a smile and Sakura smiled back. "Want to dance?"
"Sure, why not?" Sakura said then took his hand. "Catch yah later," she said to Syaoran.
They went to the dance floor and Syaoran watched their retreating backs with blank expression. He was not having fun and he knew that. He should have fun like what he did last year but something was preventing him to do so. He looked for Meilin and saw her laughing with Tomoyo and the others. Tomoyo brought her video cam along and he wondered if she always carries that with her.
Syaoran was so bored; he looked around the place to dance with a pretty, hot girl but he found none. His eyes were stuck on the angel on the dance floor. He was staring at Sakura that he didn't know someone was recording his every move.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
It was now ten in the evening and the president of the senior batch came up stage. "Can I have your attention please?" she said over the mic making everyone look at her. "The night is almost at end…" She received disappointed sighs from the boys and girls. "So I will like to announce the prom king and queen of the night."
"Wo0o0o0o0o!!!" everyone cheered. There was a drum roll from the drummer on stage as the girls and boys were patiently waiting.
"But first, I would like to call last year's prom queen and king," the president said. She was a tall blonde girl wearing a simple, long dark blue dress. "Uuh, Li Shoran and Kirisawa Kaoru, please come on stage to crown the new prom queen and king or to receive crowns again this year."
Sakura was shocked to hear Syaoran's name. She didn't know that he was the last year's prom king. The Kirisawa Kaoru wasn't that pretty, though, in her point of view. She had shiny black hair and a prickled face. She was wearing a yellow backless dress and the skirt had a slit up to her knees. The dress was pretty but it didn't look appropriate for her.
Syaoran and the Kaoru girl went up stage and Kaoru was smirking at herself as if determined to have the prom queen title again this year. Syaoran had his blank expression again went he came up on stage and was avoiding nay conversation with Kaoru.
"We seniors all know that Kirisawa and Li is such a couple last year," the president said proudly. "As for the juniors, well, just look at them and you'll see what I'm talking about."
"Kirisawa is Freda's bestfriend that's why she is boasting that her bestfriend WAS the famous Li's prom queen last year," Meilin whispered to Sakura. "She's not even his date, you know and they only danced once and that was when Syaoran was dared by us to dance all the ladies. In short, that prom queen and king thing last year is such a set-up."
"So Syaoran doesn't like this Kirisawa girl huh?" Sakura asked.
"Nope but………" Meilin paused. Sakura was waiting patiently for her to continue. "He thinks she's a bitch."
"Oh," and Sakura smirked at herself. They didn't look perfect at all and she just wished Syaoran would have a much better prom queen this year unlike last year. Yeah, she knew he would be the prom king again this year. 'There's no doubt about that,' she said to herself.
"Kaoru, you have the honor to announce this year's prom king as being a prom queen last year," Freda said and handed Kaoru the mic.
Freda handed her a piece of paper and she read it aloud. "I will like to say that this year's prom king is no other than……… the same prom king last year……… Li SHAORAN!!!!!!!!!"
The crowd cheered as some senior officers crowned Syaoran like what they did to him last year. Syaoran forced a smile to the crowd and got a sight of Sakura's emerald eyes that was clapping with the rest of the crowd.
"Now Li," Freda said. "You may announce your prom queen this year or let's say, prom queen again?"
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?" Meilin shouted angrily making the crowd looked at her but she took no notice of that. "YOU ARE SO THICK, FREDA! WHAT IF YOUR SO-CALLED BESTFRIEND AIN'T THE PROM QUEEN THIS YEAR?"
"That's impossible," Freda said to Meilin receiving an angry glare from the crimson-eyed girl. "Li, who's your lucky girl this year?" Syaoran opened the paper and was open-mouthed as he read the name on it. He couldn't believe it. "Li? Care telling everybody who is it?" Syaoran ignored her. "Li? Li? Hello?"
Freda snapped her fingers in front of his face and that brought him back to earth. "Huh?" Syaoran asked. "Oh, sorry………" He smiled towards the crowd and there was a drum roll again. "Anyways, the prom queen, I mean, my queen this year is… though I wouldn't consider her as a queen but an angel instead. Coming right to the point, she's Kinomoto Sakura."
Sakura stiffened as she heard her name and didn't believe it. "Eh? Are you shitting me?" she said to Syaoran who just shook his head and gestured her to come upstage.
"Bullshit!" Freda said. "Give me that!" She grabbed the paper Syaoran was holding and was awestruck seeing it was Sakura's name written there.
Kaoru looked at her bestfriend with tears and her eyes were also full of hatred and anger. "I thought you'd take care of it?" Kaoru said. "I thought you're going to make me a prom queen again!?!? You told me you'd do anything! I hate you!" Kaoru ran downstage and Freda followed her but Meilin stopped them.
"Come up here," Syaoran hissed towards Sakura but she ain't moving any muscles. Syaoran looked around for the paper that Freda had dropped and showed it to Sakura.
Sakura gulped seeing her name on the paper and had no choice but to come upstage. Tomoyo and the others also pushed her so she really had no choice. Syaoran was the one who crowned her and she blushed a dozen shades of red.
The principal came out of nowhere and went upstage and held the mic on his hand. "You have some explaining to do, Miss Kuzui Freda and Kirisawa Kaoru. Come with me to the gardens please."
Meilin smirked at the two girls in front of her. "You heard the principal. You have some EXPLAINING to do. I wonder what is it about." Meilin pretended not to know it but deep inside, she knew. She was actually the one that counted the votes for the prom king and queen this year after Freda did.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The principal went out and went to the gardens followed by Freda and Kaoru. Meilin went upstage and said, "So we'll have the traditional prom king-queen dance eh? Let's clear the dance floor please…" The crowd backed off from the dance floor and took their seats while Syaoran offered a hand to Sakura for a dance.
::Angel in disguise… Stories in his eyes… Love for every true heart that it sees… Was it just a lucky day that it turned to look my way? Or is it Heaven right before my very eyes?
"I didn't know you're last year's prom king," Sakura said, looking up at Syaoran. "Last year's prom was really a great babble among the whole school because of the crowned couple. Well, hey I didn't know it was you and that Kirisawa they were talking about."
"Ouch, well that hurts you know," Syaoran said sarcastically. "Just kidding. Hey my name was all over the school after the prom night and you didn't even got glimpse of it?"
::He showed me all new things… The shimmer of moonbeams… I was blind, but now he's helped me see… I was lost but now I'm found… His happiness surrounds… And now I find that my dreams can come true
"Honestly, no," Sakura said with a smile as Syaoran pouted as if he was a little boy who hadn't got a candy. "No offense or anything ok? Because to tell you the truth, I don't mind the names."
"So…" Syaoran said. "You were like…… I don't care whenever there was something to babble about?"
"Kinda…" Sakura said and smiled innocently at him. "Well if I do care, what will I get? If I heard your name, so what? I'm not the kind of girl who will search the whole university just to see the prom king guy."
::Cause I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life… I'm
holding you safe here in this heart of mine… I can't live without you cause my
soul would die… You know I'm telling the truth; I'll spend the rest of my life
loving you
"O-k…" Syaoran said. "But don't you think it's really weird? Well, look at me, I'm a famous guy and you didn't even hear anything--- a single thing--- about me!! My name is always all over the school and girls---many girls--- are always swarming around me and you're saying you don't even notice me?"
"Nope, not a single thing mister," Sakura said, shaking her head. "But look who's talking! Hey, I'm, the captain of the cheerleading club and the volleyball. I'm also the famous bassist of the 'Excluded Angels' band of the school! And… I'm considered to be our batch's muse, you know. And!!!!! I'm an honor student for almost two years now and was also always at the principal's office sometimes."
::It didn't start this way… It happened just one day…
You smiled at me and I saw you, differently…::
"I didn't know you were hanging out at the principal's office too," Syaoran stated. "So how come you're there anyways?"
"I have so many different cases you know but well, I'm still an honor student but I don't think I will be this year," Sakura said. "I always start a fight you know among my batch mates because some of them are so slutty and whory and they are calling me bitch! Hey!!! Nobody calls me that ok? And… and… well let's say because they're always noticing my every move!"
"Chill ok?" Shaoran said, smirking.
::Now I'm a tremble just to be… A part of you as we… Begin a life that's sure to never end… Cause I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life… I'm holding you safe here in this heart of mine… I can't live without you cause my soul would die… You know I'm telling the truth, I'll spend the rest of my life loving you::
"Fine I will," Sakura said then sighed. "Anyways, I'm still wondering why the heck am I the prom queen? There are so many girls but why me? It's not I don't like it but you deserve much better queen than I am."
"I already told you and I got my witnesses ok?" Syaoran began. "I'm not considering you as a queen. I much consider you as an angel."
"Whatever," Sakura said. "Hey the song ended. Can we sit down now?"
"Uuh, let me tell this to you but we have to dance until the rest of the night," Syaoran said and chuckled at her expression.
"What!?!?!" Sakura almost shouted. "Aren't we going to sit down or something?"
"You can't," Syaoran said. "It's annoying right? But this year is much better because I have to dance with a friend, not a bitch like last year. But you can dance not only with me though. You just gotta stay on the dance floor."
"Fine," Sakura said, wrapping her arms around his neck again. She smiled brightly as she heard the song and began to sing it too.
:: It's been five months since you went away… Left without a word, nothing to say(nothin to say)… When I was the one, who gave you my heart and soul, but it wasn't good enough for you…No..... So I asked God…::
"You have a nice voice," Syaoran said and Sakura thought of something. Still her arms around Syaoran's neck, she looked round the room for her band and found them all in a table. Tomoyo was video taping them form the table and Sakura let an annoyed sigh as she saw Tomoyo muttered 'kawaii'.
"Thank you," Sakura said, looking at him. "Instead of dancing throughout the night, can we just sing?"
"That's a great idea," Syaoran said. "It's worth trying. So how do we get our bands?"
:: God sent me an Angel from the Heavens above… Sent me an Angel to heal my broken heart, from being in love, cause all I dooo...is cry(is cry)… God sent me an Angel to wipe the tears from my eyes…::
"They're over there," Sakura said pointing at them. "Let's dance towards them." Syaoran nodded in agreement and stepped backwards to their friend's table as Sakura stepped forwards. They were both trying their best to still dance with the music as they walked towards a particular direction.
The people didn't notice it though since some couples emerged to the dance floor to dance with them. At last they got near the table and their friends wondered why they were close to them.
"Need something, perhaps?" Meilin asked them.
"Yes, we need something," Syaoran answered. "Go up stage, all of you! Let's play something because this girl here doesn't want to dance anymore."
"Huh?" Alex said, looking at Sakura if she agreed with Syaoran.
"Yep, you heard him," Sakura said to her own band. "Let's rock the place. I'm sick of dancing."
"But Saku-chan!" Tomoyo protested behind her camera since she was still recording them as they STLL danced. "Do you know any prom king and queen that rocked the place instead of dancing sweetly together?"
"Uuh, us?" Sakura answered. "Up to stage you go! Please?? I'm tired of dancing you know." Syaoran band started standing up and were on their way to the stage but Sakura's friends weren't standing. "For god's sake, stand up and follow them please!" Sakura hissed at them.
Her friends all stood up except for Alex. "What if I don't want to go up there?" he said.
"Oh shut up!" Sakura said. "I know you want to."
Alex then stood up and smiled at her. "Why do you always know what I want?"
"I've known for so long, that's why," Sakura said then walked upstage too with Syaoran. The usual drumbeats started as Daniel sat on the seat, getting everyone's attention.
Since, two groups were combined, they really had a problem that would be playing which. Meilin and Malfoy would still be playing the keyboards since there were two keyboards available. There were also two guitars so Eriol and Alex didn't have a problem. Sakura let Aki had the bass since she wanted to sing. Takashi and Mike agreed to be both the DJs of the night and Syaoran let Daniel play the drums.
So Syaoran, Sakura and Tomoyo were the lead singers but everybody else had microphones with them. "So what are we going to sing?" Tomoyo asked.
"My favorite of course," Sakura said and Alex led the music as he knew what Sakura's favorite was. The other group got the tune and played with the rest of the other band.
I… love you, and I... need you… Baby I.. love you, I do.. neeeeed you – but… No matter what I do, all I think about is you. Even when I'm with my boo, know you know I'm crazy over you. No matter what I do, all I think about is you.Even when I'm with my boo, y'know I'm crazy over you…
Everyone looked on stage and stared at the performers with delight and admiration.
Alex: Check it, check it, check it, uhh… I met this chick
and she just moved right up the block from me… And uhh, she got the hots for me
the finest thing my hood done seen… But oh no, oh no, she gotta a man and a

my position… Like a shortstop, pick up e'rything mami hittin
And in no time.. (no time) I… I plan to make this wah-one mi-i-ne.. and that's
for sure… Cause I, I never been the type to, break up a happy home… But uh,

Sakura and Tomoyo: You don't know what you mean to me… No matter what I do, all I think about is you. Even when I'm with my boo, know you know I'm crazy over you. No matter what I do, all I think about is you.Even when I'm with my boo, y'know I'm crazy over you…
Shaoran: Check it, check it, check it, uhh… I see a lot and you look and I never say a word I know how niggaz start actin trippin out here about they girls And there's no way-ayy-hey, Nelly gon' fight over no day-hey-ame.. as you can see But I, I like your steez, your style, your whole demeanor The way you come through and holla and swoop me in his 2-seater Now that's gangstah-ah-ahhh… And I got special ways to thank yah-ah-ahhh.. don't you forget it But uh, it ain't that easy for you to pack and leave him But uh, you and dirty got ties for different reasons. I respect that and right before I turn to leave, she said:
Sakura: You don't know what you mean to me…
Sakura and Tomoyo began dancing around and Meilin kept on saying 'yeah' for their every move as she pressed the keys. She was dancing too while playing and she quite enjoyed having so many people on stage while performing.
Alex: Sing it for me Saku…
Sakura came to Alex and danced around him. He watched her every move while playing the guitar.
Sakura: I.. love you, and I.. need you Alex I.. love you, I do.. (c'mon girl) And it's more than you'll.. ever know But.. it's fo'sho You can always count on my love Foreveeeeer more, yeahh-yeahh…
Shaoran saw Sakura dancing near Alex so he continued the song by himself.
Shaoran: East coast, I know you shakin right Down South, I know you bouncin right West coast, I know you walkin right, cause Midwest, I see you swing it right (Sakura: You don't know what you mean to me) East coast, you still shakin right Down South, I see you bouncin right West coast, I know you walkin right, cause Midwest, I see you swingin right (Sakura: You don't know what you mean to me)
Then it was Tomoyo's turn. "No matter what I do, all I think about is you. Even when I'm with my boo, know you know I'm crazy over you. No matter what I do, all I think about is you. Even when I'm with my boo, y'know I'm crazy over you…"
Eriol: East coast, I know you shakin right Down South, I know you bouncin right West coast, I know you walkin right, cause Midwest, I see you swing it right (Tomoyo: You don't know what you mean to me) East coast, you still shakin right Down South, I see you bouncin right West coast, I know you walkin right, cause Midwest, I see you swingin right (Tomoyo: You don't know what you mean to me)
Everybody broke into an applause as the song faded. They liked the bands so much and how they wished they had the same talent as them. From the corner of the room was a music director who was watching the teenagers rock the place.
Sakura's and Shaoran's gang decided to play their next song: "All I have" and the crowd started dancing as they played for them. They had three more songs afterwards and the night ended. It was now 12 midnight and it was time to go home. Some of the juniors and seniors set off and few was left on the room.
The bands decided to take a break now and sat down on a table. "That was cool!" Aki said. "I like doing it with all of you guys around. You know play the instruments with other bands. Even though while we're upstage my date left for home because of her curfew." (I forgot to mention: Naoko was Aki's date.)
"Oh ok," Dan said. "Lucky for me, Rika is still here." He put an arm around her shoulders making her blush.
"Uuh, that's the thing Dan," Rika said. "I have to go now. I just waited for you to come downstage for me to say goodbye."
"You're leaving me now?" Dan said frowning.
"Yep I'm sorry but I had a great night with you," Rika assured him.
"I had a great night too," Dan said. "I'll walk you outside." They excused themselves from the others and Dan accompanied his date outside.
"Er, Malfoy?" Chiharu began.
"Yeah I know you need to go too right?" Malfoy said.
"Yes," Chiharu answered.
"Oh ok, I'll walk you outside too," he said, taking her arm and walked with her.
"So I guess we're the only ones left," Takash said. "Er, Mike? Can I have my sister back now?"
"Huh?" Daphnie said then hid behind Mike's back. "I don't want to go yet oniichan."
"So you mean to say you're choosing me over this guy?" Takashi said as if hurt. "Ouch, baby sister. And you mean to say too that he's a better DJ than your oniichan now?"
"Shut up!" Daphnie said. "But I'm having the great time of my life! Can't we just leave later on?"
"Who said we're leaving?" Takashi said, looking at the others making Daphnie playfully punch him. "I just want you back, that's all coz I miss you. You've been with him the whole night and your oniichan misses you now. Is that bad?"
"Yeah right," Alex said laughing. "Mike, bring Daphnie back to her oniichan before he explodes because you're stealing his baby sister."
"Yeah, Daphnie," Mike said. "Go back to Takashi."
"You don't want to be with me anymore?" Daphnie said. "Fine!!!" she said childishly and walked towards Takashi.
"Hey it's not that I don't want to be with you anymore," Mike said. "I had a great time with you. Honest!!! So Tak… would you be so kind to lend your sis again to me next time?"
"According to my mood," Takashi said and they all laughed at the scene among them. Daphnie was a junior but she looked younger than her age and since Takashi was her oniichan--- he was so protective of her. Good thing to know that Mike was a friend and was the one who asked Daphnie for a date or else she wouldn't have showed up during the prom night.
Malfoy and Dan came back and both were wondering why are they laughing. But their laughter broke as two guys came to them.
"May I help you sir?" Eriol said politely.
"Not really," the guy said. "I'm Riley Brook, by the way."
"What!?!?" Meilin exclaimed. "Riley Brook as in the American music director??"
"You got that right, miss," Riley said. "I'm just wondering if you would want to audition for an international band because all of you have wonderful talents."
"Let me get this straight," Dan said. "Uuh, we're not kinda a whole band you know. We're of two bands."
"Excellent then," the other guy said. "I'm Oz Brown, a music director too. We are planning to have a musical tournament you know and you just need to sign up for that."
"Huh?" they all said in unison.
"That is if you want to be an international band," added Oz. "Do you?"
"That will be a yes of course!" they all said together again.
"Er… just visit our website so that you can sign up for that tournament," Riley said. He handed them a two flyers and Syaoran and Sakura took each. "You'll see more information on the site. Uuh, we have to go now since it's late. Anyways, you have a wonderful future ahead."
"Yeah don't let it slip," Oz added. "Wanna have a career? Well, you'll get one if you win." With that, they left and as soon as they came out of sight, all of them jumped with joy. The other people in the room wondered what the hell is happening with them.
'We'll win that!' Sakura's and Shaoran's gang all thought at the same time.
