Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura.cuz if I did I would create a whole new series based on the love of Sakura and Syaoran! *Heart in eyes*
Sakura tip toed to her room not wanting to wake anyone.more likely her friend Tomoyo. Sometimes Tomoyo could pounce like an animal on its prey and it wasn't pretty.
^CREEK^
Sakura winced as the door slid open not quiet as she had hoped. Looking around she made sure no one had heard. After concluding that she was the only one in the Servants Domain she opened her door wider and fell over at the sight she saw.
Her best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji was sitting on her bed with a wide grin on her face, not to mention the video camera that she held to her eye.
"Okay Sakura.talk!"
Chapter Three: Jealousy
"Come on Sakura, make yourself comfy as you tell me AAAALL about your date with Li!" Tomoyo said happily as she scooted over and patted the empty space on the bed. Sakura backed away slowly.
"Ne.Tomoyo-chan,,," Sakura paused and faked a yawn to show she was to sleepy to talk about anything. "I am sooo tired Tomoyo-chan.you know I had a long day. Can we talk about this in the morning. It's past midnight anyway."
"Ah don't try to trick me Sakura-chan! I know you are far from tired. Now tell me all about it please?!" Tomoyo asked sweetly putting on a small adorable pout that Sakura found out over the years that she could not say no to.
Sure Tomoyo had gotten the evening of Sakura and Syaoran on tape but now it was Confession Time. She had to get the true feelings of what Sakura thought of Syaoran...on tape!
Sakura reluntantly sat next to her friend and deeply inhaled. She turned to Tomoyo and was met with a black eye, the video camera.
"T-Tomoyo-chan. Can you set the video camera down?" She asked as she put her right hand on the black eye blocking the picture of her out.
"Iie." Was Tomoyo's only answer as she removed her best friend's hand from her precious video camera.
"Now tell me dear Sakura-chan.what was that night of romance like?" Tomoyo asked in a sweet voice but at the same time an evil grin playing on her lips.
Sakura looked confused. "Night of Romance.what? Tomoyo-chan I told you already! Mater Li-"
"Syaoran." Tomoyo corrected.
"Er.Syaoran-kun and I have no relationship. Maybe we are FRIENDS but nothing else! He-he was just being nice to me." Sakura whined with a blush on her cheeks. Absentmindely she stroked the fur of the bear that Syaoran had won her earlier. Tomoyo's eyes immdeitly became locked on the bear. Her grin growing wider.
"Ne.Sakura what's that?" She asked slyly while pointing to the bear. Sakura immediately stopped stroking the little bear's fur and hid behind her back.
"Ne.bear? What bear? I don't see anything. A-are you starting to see things Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked while giggling nervously.
"Ah come on Sakura. We've known each other for a while and I know when something is tugging at your heart Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said while for the first time putting her camera down.
Sakura looked up and blushed. "What do you mean Tomoyo-chan?" She asked, although she knew exactly what her friend was saying.
"Master Li means something to you doesn't he?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yes-no.I don't know." Sakura said in frustration. She let out a deep sigh and began to look over the bear Syaoran had won for her.
'Tomoyo-chan is right. Why DID he take me out? Why DID he win me this bear? Because he was being a gentleman right? Right? But still.why me?'
Tomoyo put a hand on her friend's shoulder getting her attention. "Sakura- chan, it IS late. We should be getting to bed."
"Yeah, your right Tomoyo-chan.oyasumi.." A sleepy Sakura said. Tomoyo smiled and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
_*_*_*_
(Morning-Breakfast Table)
No one spoke at the table. Fuutie, Fanren, Xiefa, and Fiemei all had their eyes locked on their little brother who seemed to notice that their eyes were boring into his but did not say anything for he was deep in thought...Sakura Kinomoto seemed to be the topic.
Shin Lo was glaring at all servants around him, they all backed away under his intense glare that he had clearly gotten from his father. Every once in a while his eyes would dart to the doors of the Kitchen, as if daring someone to come out...
Yelan was the only one who was acting normal. She had not heard the rumors that had spread so quickly throughout the Manor, nothing seemed weird to her. She sipped her tea and looked around the table and at the different expressions. Now was the time to inform them of their guest...
"Everyone." She began getting everyone's attention. She cleared her throat before talking.
"Well I received a phone call, we will be having a guest visit us for the week. I have his bedroom already made, I want all of you to be on your BEST behavior!" Yelan addressed them as if they were nothing but mere children, but this was true sometimes. Whenever they have a guest her daughters would go crazy...especially if the guest was male. And Syaoran..well Syaoran hated about everyone, and to make things worse Shin Lo mimicked his father.
"Who is it mother?" Syaoran asked.
"Oh, your cousin Xiaolang, Eriol." His mother said calmly with a smile.
Syaoran's eyes widened. He coughed and looked down at his plate calmly. All of his sisters eyed him suspiciously.
"I am sorry mother but I believe that I didn't hear you correctly. Who was it you said was visiting?" He asked.
Yelan smiled and nodded. "I said your cousin was visiting Xiaolang. Eriol Hiiragizawa." Yelan said calmly not knowing what was coming next.
Fuutie, Fiemei, Xiefa, and Fanren all winced, they all knew how their little brother felt about Eriol from previous experiences.
"HIIRAGIZAWA? NOT IN THIS HOUSE HE ISN'T!" Syaoran yelled. All servants paused for a second before scurrying back to their workplaces to tell everyone about Syaoran's tantrum.
"Xiaolang Li. Lower your voice this instant." Yelan said in a firm voice. Syaoran pressed his lips into a thin line and glared.
"He will NOT be staying in this house!" Syaoran murmured.
"Yes he will, it was already arranged. Xiaolang you must show more respect to people, you are the Leader of the Li Clan, what you do reflects on the Li's. You will behave while your cousin is visiting. He sounded happy to be able to see you again. You two will bond while he is here and end of discussion." Yelan told him while sipping her tea.
Syaoran growled. He had lost the battle. "Fine he can stay here. How long is he staying?" 'The sooner I get rid of him the better.' Syaoran thought.
"One week Xiaolang. But he also said after that week is up he will be visiting for dinner, and other occasions. He said he would arrive today around noon so it shouldn't be long before he does come."
Syaoran's blood boiled. A full week of being tortured, humiliated, and a full week of having to look at Eriol's stupid grin.
The door opened and everyone turned to see Sakura enter the room to clear the table. The four sisters giggled in their hands, Shin Lo glared at her, and Syaoran blushed looking away. Yelan smiled at the young girl who returned the smile with an even warmer one. As Sakura made her way around the table, picking up plates and cups she gave everyone a warm smile. The sisters let out a small squeal when they saw Syaoran give a small smile and Shin Lo glared at her even more.
"KAWAII!" Xiefa shrieked not being able to keep silent. Now would be a time for Tomoyo's video camera.
Yelan gave her a puzzled look and Xiefa gave her mother a sheepish smile while her fellow sisters giggled at her.
Once Sakura cleared off the table she made her way back out the door. Everyone but Yelan stared at the door which the young beauty had existed out of. Fuutie, Fanren, Xiefa, and Fiemei all started to giggle, Syaoran shot them all a deadly glare and Shin fixed his eyes on door. Yelan gave them all odd looks.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked, she was clearly lost.
"It's nothing mother!" All five of her children said quickly in unison. Yelan looked bewildered but dismissed the question seeing how her children would not tell her.
_*_*_*_*_
(Kitchen)
"Sakura."
"Hai?" Sakura asked as she whirled around and met the face of her best friend.
"Ah Tomoyo-chan!" She said as she recognized her. Tomoyo stood their behind a counter kneading the dough.
"So what did he say?" Tomoyo asked slyly.
"Hoe? Who is 'he'?" Sakura asked, blinking cutely.
Tomoyo fell over. "S-Sakura-chan. What do you mean 'who is he?' Your Romeo of course!"
Sakura felt her face heat up. "S-Syaoran-kun?" She asked in a squeaky voice. "Romeo?" She asked, her face was even hotter.
"Hai Romeo." Tomoyo said still smiling.
"H-h-he's not-" Sakura started stuttering.
"I know, I know. 'He's not your Romeo.' I just can't help it Sakura-chan. You two make such a cute couple. It's a shame that he's not your Romeo. Matte, 'Romeo and Juliet' ended to sad.you guys aren't Romeo and Juliet.hm...then who are you?" Tomoyo tapped her chin thoughtfully thinking of another famous couple to compare Sakura and Syaoran to.
_*_*_*_*_
(12:20 PM)
Syaoran Li was pacing back and forth in front of the front door. He was awaiting his doom, impatiently. His sisters, son, and mother was standing still behind him. The doorbell rang and Syaoran opened it. He saw his cousin's smirking face.
"Hello cute lil cousin."
"Don't call me that!" Syaoran said between clenched teeth. Eriol just adjusted his glasses and sighed.
"Glad to see that you missed me Syaoran." Eriol said sarcastically. Syaoran just huffed.
Yelan sighed. "It's good to see you again Eriol. Wei get his bags and bring them to his room. How was your flight from England?" Yelan asked as she closed the door behind him.
"It's been a long time Yelan. England is beautiful but..." Eriol started.
"But?" Syaoran asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well I've decided that I would rather be closer to the Clan so I have decided to move to Hong Kong." He said smiling brightly, his eyes were fixed on his 'cute lil cousin' to see his reaction.
Syaoran stumped his foot on the ground and his face turned redder. 'Damn it!' He yelled inwardly.
They were all interrupted by a cough. Everyone turned to see Sakura standing in the hall bowing.
"I am sorry to interrupt you, but Lunch is being served." She said blushing, knowing that Syaoran's eyes were on her.
"Thank you. You may return to your duties." Yelan said politely. Sakura nodded, her head still bowed she turned to leave when someone gripped her arm. Turning around in shock she turned to see a pair of blue eyes framed by glasses.
"Ah. I never in my life have seen such a beautiful angel." Eriol said with a charming smile. Syaoran growled underneath his breath and the Li sisters exchanged worried glances. Shin Lo hated Sakura more, it seemed as if she were out to seduce all men who were apart of the Li's.
"Um..th-thank you." Sakura said blushing.
"May I ask the Angel on Earth what her name is?"
"Sakura.Sakura Kinomoto."
"Ah, that is a most lovely name. Cherry Blossom. It suits you too, for you have the beauty and grace of the very flower." Eriol said locking his eyes with hers. He stole a glance at Syaoran and saw that he was fuming. Eriol smirked.
'Why that little brat! He sounds as if he stole that tired line from a poetry book. The nerve! He's only been here for less than 10 minutes and he's already flirting.and with Sakura at that!' Syaoran thought angrily.
"Th-thank you, thank you very much." Sakura stuttered. She had never been complimented so much. Syaoran noticed the faint blush on Sakura's cheeks and narrowed his eyes at his devil-like cousin. He coughed to get both of their attention. Both Eriol and Sakura turned to look at Syaoran, as did his family.
"Eriol, we really must be getting to the Dining Room. The food must be getting cold, and I'm sure Ms. Kinomoto has work to do. Let's go!" Syaoran had fire burning in his eyes. Eriol and the sisters all noticed his jealously and became amused.
"But of course Cute Lil Cousin. Until next time dear cherry blossom, farewell." Eriol took Sakura's hand and kissed it. Sakura turned a few more shades of red and Syaoran was red in the face from anger. Shin Lo really didn't care what was going on, it was actually better if Sakura was interested in Eriol, that would lead her away from trying to steal his father away from him.
"Now, which way to the Dining Room Cute Lil Cousin?" Eriol asked smirking at the red Syaoran.
"This way, come on." He said in a huff as he lead his cousin down the hall, all he could think about was the many ways to kill Eriol Hiiragizawa.
_*_*_*_
(Tomoyo's Room)
Minla did not need the girls and had let them run off to do whatever. So there they sat, on Tomoyo's bed working on the Mysterious Bomber Case. Tomoyo opened a millennia folder which was full of sheets of papers and Hong Kong's criminal records.
"So what places have been bombed again?" Tomoyo asked with her pen in her mouth. Sakura took a moment to think.
"Lovers Sundae, the theater, and the weapon shop. That's weird, they don't have anything in common." Sakura said as she stretched out onto the bed. Tomoyo nodded her head. Sakura was right, what did an ice cream shop, a movie theater, and a weapon shop have in common?
"And what was strange is that there was no attack yesterday." Tomoyo said while taking notes. Although Tomoyo didn't do a check yesterday she had searched the newspaper for any news of another 'bombing'.
"Well we know our bomber is poor since he or she can't afford bombs, instead they have to use fire works." Sakura joked, Tomoyo allowed herself to laugh a bit.
"That's true." She said after their laughter had died down.
"So what does the records say? Any bombers that sound a little like ours?" Sakura asked Tomoyo who flipped through the Criminal Records.
"Well there is this one guy-wait no, he was executed so it wasn't him. Aha! There's this one girl who-oh no, sorry. She's turned to charity work now. Um." Tomoyo looked through the files some more.
"But remember Tomoyo-chan, our bomber hasn't harmed anyone.and most of the bombings are set around midnight." Sakura reminded her. Tomoyo nodded and looked through the files for someone with that description.
"Nope! There no one that even sounds a teensy bit like our bomber." Tomoyo said with a sigh. Sakura sighed and rolled over on her stomach.
"How long do you think this will take?" She asked her best friend who was running a hand through her auburn locks. Tomoyo had an evil glint in her eye.
"I hope for a while, I know you want to spend more time with Master Li."
"Hoe! Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura screamed as she hid her face in one of Tomoyo's pillows. Tomoyo chuckled.
"Ah Sakura-chan, it's obvious that you like him. Even a blind man could see that!" Tomoyo told her.
"Okay maybe a like him a little bit..." Sakura said in a small voice, her face still in the pillow.
"AH KAWAII! And I got it all on tape! Ohohoho I'm going to name this one: 'Sakura-chan's Kawaii Confession!'" Tomoyo stated as she whipped the black video camera off of her dresser. Sakura looked up and hid her face in her hands, her face beet red.
"Tomoyo-chan..."
"Sakura-chan admitted she likes Master Li! Ah this is all too kawaii! Now when Sakura and Li-kun get married and have children I'll get to film them!" Tomoyo said in a happy voice as she taped Sakura from different angles. Sakura looked up horrified before she started beating the pillow, her face still red with embarrassment.
"TOMOYO-CHAAAAAN!"
_*_*_*_
(Dining Room)
"So where are you moving to cousin Eriol?" Xiefa asked.
Eriol was seated between Fanren and Fuutie, Xiefa and Fiemei were sitting across from him. Syaoran sat at the end of the table-as far away from Him as possible. Shin Lo sat between his father and Fiemei, and Yelan sat at the other end of the table.
Eriol cleared his throat and wiped his mouth with the cream colored napkin before answering.
"I will be on the Mainland, on a street called Spinel Sun. The EXACT address is 583 Spinel Sun Street." Eriol answered.
"Oh, and your parents were all right with you moving so far from England Eriol?" Yelan asked.
"Oh yes, at first they didn't think it was a good idea for me to move from England but I am 26 after all, I can make my own decisions. And they agreed to come and visit me once in a while." Eriol explained.
Eriol's mother was the older sister to Xieyu, Syaoran's father. She had fallen in love with a English boy at the age of 15 and married him at the age of 19. They had both moved to England, since the boy was only an exchange student to the school Eriol's mother went to. Two years later they had received word that Xieyu's sister was pregnant and was to have a baby boy. Eriol.
Syaoran felt sorry for his aunt, having to give birth to the Devil in Disguise, it seemed to him that Eriol's main point in living was to make him miserable, and now he was flirting with the girl who he sorta-kinda- maybe likes.
"Eriol how come your aren't married yet? I mean your so kawaii who wouldn't marry you?" Fanren asked while smiling. Eriol smiled back.
"Well there's not a lot of girls out there who suit my taste. And it looks like I'm not the only one here who is waiting for the Perfect Girl huh Cute Lil Cousin?" Eriol asked while tossing a wink Syaoran who was glaring at him non stop.
"Yeah, yeah what ever. AND DON'T CALL ME CUTE LIL COUSIN YOU FREAK!" He said with fire burning in his eyes.
"Xiaolang!" His mother hissed at him shocked at his actions.
"Sorry mother." Syaoran murmured an apology and fixed his eyes on his plate.
"Um Mistress Li? You had asked for the paper to be brought to you?" Came a new voice. Everyone turned to see Tomoyo standing by the door with a rolled up newspaper in her hands.
Eriol stared intently at her. Those shimmering purple orbs, the way her hair bounced when she made any kind of movement. He could have sworn he saw Angel Wings and a Halo.
The young beauty handed Yelan Li the newspaper, and bowed to everyone before walking back out of the door.
'I'll see her again.' Eriol thought as he continued to eat the Ramen noodles. 'and I'll also find out what her name is.' _*_*_*_*_
(Midnight)
"Sakura.." Rang a voice in Sakura's ear. The sleeping girl smiled a bit.
"Syaoran-kun.?" She asked in her sleep smiling.
"No Sakura-chan, it's Tomoyo, you know, your best friend?" Tomoyo asked smiling while shaking Sakura gently.
Sakura sat up and wiped the sleep from her eyes and smiled at Tomoyo.
"Hey Tomoyo-chan." She said as she cocked her head.
"Ne Sakura-chan, how long have you been dreaming about Li-kun?" Tomoyo asked with an innocent look on her face.
"What? Mou! Your so mean Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura said blushing while she playfully pushed her laughing friend.
"Okay let's get this over with Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo said while shining her flashlight in the auburn haired girl's face. Sakura jumped out of bed dressed in her Police Officer outfit. Tomoyo grinned.
Once safe outside of the Li Estate and on the Mainland they two women began their job. They casually walked down business streets inspecting everything, making sure that there were no lights on, no one lurking in the shadows, and must importantly they made sure they didn't hear that dread sizzling.
"Everything looks calm to me Tomoyo-chan." Tomoyo nodded her head in agreement.
Sizzle.
They both looked at each other with horror written on their faces.
"Oh no." Tomoyo whispered.
Sizzle.
"Sakura-chan."
"Tomoyo-chan.."
"DUCK!"
Both girls dived to the ground just as a fire ball erupted without a warning. The eruption was to far away, maybe just around the corner. The two girls jumped up and broke out into a dash. When they got to the sight all they saw was a burnt down store and debris everywhere. Sakura sighed.
"Now we'll never know what store it was!" She whined.
Police sirens filled the air. Both looked at each other, and as if reading each other's minds they began to run towards the ferry to go home.
_*_*_*_*_
(Next Day-Breakfast)
Both Sakura and Tomoyo were serving the Li Family and their guest breakfast. They didn't seem to notice the stares that two certain people were giving them. Eriol and Syaoran just couldn't seem to take their eyes off of the goddess's, the Li Sisters squealed in delight. Sakura placed a plate in front of Syaoran and winked at him, Syaoran blushed and managed to smile back.
When Tomoyo placed a plate in front of Eriol she stole a glance, which was bad because she almost dropped her plate. Eriol stared into her orbs as did Tomoyo. He looked so handsome and Tomoyo had this urge to just run her hands through his midnight blue hair. In a low whisper, for no one to hear he asked her a question.
"May I know your name fair maiden?" He asked smoothly. Tomoyo blushed and looked away not meeting his gaze.
"My -my name is Tomoyo. Tomoyo Daidouji sir." Tomoyo whispered back. She was about to serve Shin Lo when Eriol grabbed her arm bringing her attention back to him.
"Call me Eriol." He whispered before letting go of her hand and started to eat his breakfast as if nothing happened while a dumbfounded Tomoyo just nodded her head.
Both girls, after they were done serving breakfast, bowed showing their respect to the family and left them to eat in peace. A second after they left Eriol excused himself from the table, he walked through the door that Sakura and Tomoyo had gone through. Shortly after, a suspicious Syaoran also excused himself.
_*_*_*_
(Kitchen)
"...yeah there was another bomb last night." Sayu was telling Fai Mong while mixing ingredients.
"Really? Where?" Asked Fai Mong who obviously hadn't heard about it. Sakura and Tomoyo strained their ears to here more from the other side of the Kitchen.
"You didn't hear? It was on Yue Street! The bomb was INSIDE 'Leather You Like It Or Not'...you know the place that sells suit cases?" Sayu continued.
"Really? It was burnt to the ground?" Fai Mong asked her eyes getting wide.
"Well at least we know now where store it was." Tomoyo whispered to Sakura who nodded.
"Well Minla says I have to go and make the beds, so I'll see you later Sakura-chan, ja!" Tomoyo said while taking off her apron.
"Ja Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said to Tomoyo's disappearing figure. She inhaled deeply and sighed and she continued to form the cookies.
"Boo." Came a soft masculine voice.
Sakura jumped an inch off the ground, she came face to face with Eriol Hiiragizawa. She bowed after she had gotten over her shock but Eriol helped her up making her look him in the eye.
"Sakura, a beauty like yourself shouldn't have to bow." He said and took her hands in hands. "Nor should she have to work." Sakura looked away with a faint blush.
"Bu-but it's my job." She told him. Eriol brought her closer to him, Sakura blushed from the closeness and tried to pull away, it didn't feel right.
"I don't see how such a lovely creature would want to work and get her pretty face dirty." He said while his thumb traced her jaw line. Sakura pushed herself from his arms and went back to forming the cookie dough to look like hearts.
"I-I really must be getting back to work sir." She said in a shaky voice. Unknown to her and Eriol, Syaoran was watching from a dark corner, not happy with Eriol at all...and in a room full of knives he started to get ideas.
"Yes of course, I shall see the fair lady again shant I not?" He said while kissing her right hand.
"Um.sure." Sakura said not sure if she should have answered that question. Eriol gave her a charming smile before skipping out of the Kitchen. Sakura let out a sigh of relieve that he was gone and went back to work. She stopped working when she felt a tap on the shoulder. Smiling inwardly she greeted the mysterious person.
"Syaoran-kun!" She said with excitement in her voice. She couldn't help put notice the coldness in his eyes and how his eyebrows were knitted together.
"Sakura..stay away from him. Don't believe anything he says. He tells all lies." Syaoran ordered. He had an intense glare which Sakura was not use to. Sakura gulped.
"Hai, Master Li." She said in a sad voice. She turned her head so Syaoran wouldn't see the tears which were threatening to spill. Syaoran realized his mistake immediately. He grabbed Sakura by her shoulders and made her face him. A stray tear fell from her eye, Syaoran'' heart ached, he had made her cry.
"Sakura..." He started, she looked at him sadly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't had been that mad it's just that...well you wouldn't understand but please, stay away from Eriol." He paused and wiped his bangs from in front of his eyes. "For your own good stay away from him."
Sakura smiled. "Your not mad at me?" She asked.
"Of course not. If anything I'm mad at Him." Syaoran said wearing a weak smile. Sakura let out a squeal of delight and hugged him, eyes everywhere were focused on them. Syaoran blushed and found himself returning the hug.
Eriol opened the door to the Kitchen a crack and peeped inside. His eyes twinkled seeing the sight. 'I AM a genius.' He told himself proudly before closing the door.
'Syaoran-kun is such a sweetie.' Sakura thought while smiling. They let go of each other a little reluctant. Syaoran scratched the back of his head.
"Well ah, you probably have work to do and ah, well I'll see you later okay?" He put his hands in his pockets and looked towards the Japanese girl. Sakura gave him a warm smile which melted his heart.
'No girl...ever has had this kind of affect on me. She's something else.' Syaoran thought while gazing into her emerald orbs. He shook himself out of the trance she seemed to have him in and stumbled out of the door.

Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura.cuz if I did I would create a whole new series based on the love of Sakura and Syaoran! *Heart in eyes*
Sakura tip toed to her room not wanting to wake anyone.more likely her friend Tomoyo. Sometimes Tomoyo could pounce like an animal on its prey and it wasn't pretty.
^CREEK^
Sakura winced as the door slid open not quiet as she had hoped. Looking around she made sure no one had heard. After concluding that she was the only one in the Servants Domain she opened her door wider and fell over at the sight she saw.
Her best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji was sitting on her bed with a wide grin on her face, not to mention the video camera that she held to her eye.
"Okay Sakura.talk!"
Chapter Three: Jealousy
"Come on Sakura, make yourself comfy as you tell me AAAALL about your date with Li!" Tomoyo said happily as she scooted over and patted the empty space on the bed. Sakura backed away slowly.
"Ne.Tomoyo-chan,,," Sakura paused and faked a yawn to show she was to sleepy to talk about anything. "I am sooo tired Tomoyo-chan.you know I had a long day. Can we talk about this in the morning. It's past midnight anyway."
"Ah don't try to trick me Sakura-chan! I know you are far from tired. Now tell me all about it please?!" Tomoyo asked sweetly putting on a small adorable pout that Sakura found out over the years that she could not say no to.
Sure Tomoyo had gotten the evening of Sakura and Syaoran on tape but now it was Confession Time. She had to get the true feelings of what Sakura thought of Syaoran...on tape!
Sakura reluntantly sat next to her friend and deeply inhaled. She turned to Tomoyo and was met with a black eye, the video camera.
"T-Tomoyo-chan. Can you set the video camera down?" She asked as she put her right hand on the black eye blocking the picture of her out.
"Iie." Was Tomoyo's only answer as she removed her best friend's hand from her precious video camera.
"Now tell me dear Sakura-chan.what was that night of romance like?" Tomoyo asked in a sweet voice but at the same time an evil grin playing on her lips.
Sakura looked confused. "Night of Romance.what? Tomoyo-chan I told you already! Mater Li-"
"Syaoran." Tomoyo corrected.
"Er.Syaoran-kun and I have no relationship. Maybe we are FRIENDS but nothing else! He-he was just being nice to me." Sakura whined with a blush on her cheeks. Absentmindely she stroked the fur of the bear that Syaoran had won her earlier. Tomoyo's eyes immdeitly became locked on the bear. Her grin growing wider.
"Ne.Sakura what's that?" She asked slyly while pointing to the bear. Sakura immediately stopped stroking the little bear's fur and hid behind her back.
"Ne.bear? What bear? I don't see anything. A-are you starting to see things Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked while giggling nervously.
"Ah come on Sakura. We've known each other for a while and I know when something is tugging at your heart Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said while for the first time putting her camera down.
Sakura looked up and blushed. "What do you mean Tomoyo-chan?" She asked, although she knew exactly what her friend was saying.
"Master Li means something to you doesn't he?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yes-no.I don't know." Sakura said in frustration. She let out a deep sigh and began to look over the bear Syaoran had won for her.
'Tomoyo-chan is right. Why DID he take me out? Why DID he win me this bear? Because he was being a gentleman right? Right? But still.why me?'
Tomoyo put a hand on her friend's shoulder getting her attention. "Sakura- chan, it IS late. We should be getting to bed."
"Yeah, your right Tomoyo-chan.oyasumi.." A sleepy Sakura said. Tomoyo smiled and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
_*_*_*_
(Morning-Breakfast Table)
No one spoke at the table. Fuutie, Fanren, Xiefa, and Fiemei all had their eyes locked on their little brother who seemed to notice that their eyes were boring into his but did not say anything for he was deep in thought...Sakura Kinomoto seemed to be the topic.
Shin Lo was glaring at all servants around him, they all backed away under his intense glare that he had clearly gotten from his father. Every once in a while his eyes would dart to the doors of the Kitchen, as if daring someone to come out...
Yelan was the only one who was acting normal. She had not heard the rumors that had spread so quickly throughout the Manor, nothing seemed weird to her. She sipped her tea and looked around the table and at the different expressions. Now was the time to inform them of their guest...
"Everyone." She began getting everyone's attention. She cleared her throat before talking.
"Well I received a phone call, we will be having a guest visit us for the week. I have his bedroom already made, I want all of you to be on your BEST behavior!" Yelan addressed them as if they were nothing but mere children, but this was true sometimes. Whenever they have a guest her daughters would go crazy...especially if the guest was male. And Syaoran..well Syaoran hated about everyone, and to make things worse Shin Lo mimicked his father.
"Who is it mother?" Syaoran asked.
"Oh, your cousin Xiaolang, Eriol." His mother said calmly with a smile.
Syaoran's eyes widened. He coughed and looked down at his plate calmly. All of his sisters eyed him suspiciously.
"I am sorry mother but I believe that I didn't hear you correctly. Who was it you said was visiting?" He asked.
Yelan smiled and nodded. "I said your cousin was visiting Xiaolang. Eriol Hiiragizawa." Yelan said calmly not knowing what was coming next.
Fuutie, Fiemei, Xiefa, and Fanren all winced, they all knew how their little brother felt about Eriol from previous experiences.
"HIIRAGIZAWA? NOT IN THIS HOUSE HE ISN'T!" Syaoran yelled. All servants paused for a second before scurrying back to their workplaces to tell everyone about Syaoran's tantrum.
"Xiaolang Li. Lower your voice this instant." Yelan said in a firm voice. Syaoran pressed his lips into a thin line and glared.
"He will NOT be staying in this house!" Syaoran murmured.
"Yes he will, it was already arranged. Xiaolang you must show more respect to people, you are the Leader of the Li Clan, what you do reflects on the Li's. You will behave while your cousin is visiting. He sounded happy to be able to see you again. You two will bond while he is here and end of discussion." Yelan told him while sipping her tea.
Syaoran growled. He had lost the battle. "Fine he can stay here. How long is he staying?" 'The sooner I get rid of him the better.' Syaoran thought.
"One week Xiaolang. But he also said after that week is up he will be visiting for dinner, and other occasions. He said he would arrive today around noon so it shouldn't be long before he does come."
Syaoran's blood boiled. A full week of being tortured, humiliated, and a full week of having to look at Eriol's stupid grin.
The door opened and everyone turned to see Sakura enter the room to clear the table. The four sisters giggled in their hands, Shin Lo glared at her, and Syaoran blushed looking away. Yelan smiled at the young girl who returned the smile with an even warmer one. As Sakura made her way around the table, picking up plates and cups she gave everyone a warm smile. The sisters let out a small squeal when they saw Syaoran give a small smile and Shin Lo glared at her even more.
"KAWAII!" Xiefa shrieked not being able to keep silent. Now would be a time for Tomoyo's video camera.
Yelan gave her a puzzled look and Xiefa gave her mother a sheepish smile while her fellow sisters giggled at her.
Once Sakura cleared off the table she made her way back out the door. Everyone but Yelan stared at the door which the young beauty had existed out of. Fuutie, Fanren, Xiefa, and Fiemei all started to giggle, Syaoran shot them all a deadly glare and Shin fixed his eyes on door. Yelan gave them all odd looks.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked, she was clearly lost.
"It's nothing mother!" All five of her children said quickly in unison. Yelan looked bewildered but dismissed the question seeing how her children would not tell her.
_*_*_*_*_
(Kitchen)
"Sakura."
"Hai?" Sakura asked as she whirled around and met the face of her best friend.
"Ah Tomoyo-chan!" She said as she recognized her. Tomoyo stood their behind a counter kneading the dough.
"So what did he say?" Tomoyo asked slyly.
"Hoe? Who is 'he'?" Sakura asked, blinking cutely.
Tomoyo fell over. "S-Sakura-chan. What do you mean 'who is he?' Your Romeo of course!"
Sakura felt her face heat up. "S-Syaoran-kun?" She asked in a squeaky voice. "Romeo?" She asked, her face was even hotter.
"Hai Romeo." Tomoyo said still smiling.
"H-h-he's not-" Sakura started stuttering.
"I know, I know. 'He's not your Romeo.' I just can't help it Sakura-chan. You two make such a cute couple. It's a shame that he's not your Romeo. Matte, 'Romeo and Juliet' ended to sad.you guys aren't Romeo and Juliet.hm...then who are you?" Tomoyo tapped her chin thoughtfully thinking of another famous couple to compare Sakura and Syaoran to.
_*_*_*_*_
(12:20 PM)
Syaoran Li was pacing back and forth in front of the front door. He was awaiting his doom, impatiently. His sisters, son, and mother was standing still behind him. The doorbell rang and Syaoran opened it. He saw his cousin's smirking face.
"Hello cute lil cousin."
"Don't call me that!" Syaoran said between clenched teeth. Eriol just adjusted his glasses and sighed.
"Glad to see that you missed me Syaoran." Eriol said sarcastically. Syaoran just huffed.
Yelan sighed. "It's good to see you again Eriol. Wei get his bags and bring them to his room. How was your flight from England?" Yelan asked as she closed the door behind him.
"It's been a long time Yelan. England is beautiful but..." Eriol started.
"But?" Syaoran asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well I've decided that I would rather be closer to the Clan so I have decided to move to Hong Kong." He said smiling brightly, his eyes were fixed on his 'cute lil cousin' to see his reaction.
Syaoran stumped his foot on the ground and his face turned redder. 'Damn it!' He yelled inwardly.
They were all interrupted by a cough. Everyone turned to see Sakura standing in the hall bowing.
"I am sorry to interrupt you, but Lunch is being served." She said blushing, knowing that Syaoran's eyes were on her.
"Thank you. You may return to your duties." Yelan said politely. Sakura nodded, her head still bowed she turned to leave when someone gripped her arm. Turning around in shock she turned to see a pair of blue eyes framed by glasses.
"Ah. I never in my life have seen such a beautiful angel." Eriol said with a charming smile. Syaoran growled underneath his breath and the Li sisters exchanged worried glances. Shin Lo hated Sakura more, it seemed as if she were out to seduce all men who were apart of the Li's.
"Um..th-thank you." Sakura said blushing.
"May I ask the Angel on Earth what her name is?"
"Sakura.Sakura Kinomoto."
"Ah, that is a most lovely name. Cherry Blossom. It suits you too, for you have the beauty and grace of the very flower." Eriol said locking his eyes with hers. He stole a glance at Syaoran and saw that he was fuming. Eriol smirked.
'Why that little brat! He sounds as if he stole that tired line from a poetry book. The nerve! He's only been here for less than 10 minutes and he's already flirting.and with Sakura at that!' Syaoran thought angrily.
"Th-thank you, thank you very much." Sakura stuttered. She had never been complimented so much. Syaoran noticed the faint blush on Sakura's cheeks and narrowed his eyes at his devil-like cousin. He coughed to get both of their attention. Both Eriol and Sakura turned to look at Syaoran, as did his family.
"Eriol, we really must be getting to the Dining Room. The food must be getting cold, and I'm sure Ms. Kinomoto has work to do. Let's go!" Syaoran had fire burning in his eyes. Eriol and the sisters all noticed his jealously and became amused.
"But of course Cute Lil Cousin. Until next time dear cherry blossom, farewell." Eriol took Sakura's hand and kissed it. Sakura turned a few more shades of red and Syaoran was red in the face from anger. Shin Lo really didn't care what was going on, it was actually better if Sakura was interested in Eriol, that would lead her away from trying to steal his father away from him.
"Now, which way to the Dining Room Cute Lil Cousin?" Eriol asked smirking at the red Syaoran.
"This way, come on." He said in a huff as he lead his cousin down the hall, all he could think about was the many ways to kill Eriol Hiiragizawa.
_*_*_*_
(Tomoyo's Room)
Minla did not need the girls and had let them run off to do whatever. So there they sat, on Tomoyo's bed working on the Mysterious Bomber Case. Tomoyo opened a millennia folder which was full of sheets of papers and Hong Kong's criminal records.
"So what places have been bombed again?" Tomoyo asked with her pen in her mouth. Sakura took a moment to think.
"Lovers Sundae, the theater, and the weapon shop. That's weird, they don't have anything in common." Sakura said as she stretched out onto the bed. Tomoyo nodded her head. Sakura was right, what did an ice cream shop, a movie theater, and a weapon shop have in common?
"And what was strange is that there was no attack yesterday." Tomoyo said while taking notes. Although Tomoyo didn't do a check yesterday she had searched the newspaper for any news of another 'bombing'.
"Well we know our bomber is poor since he or she can't afford bombs, instead they have to use fire works." Sakura joked, Tomoyo allowed herself to laugh a bit.
"That's true." She said after their laughter had died down.
"So what does the records say? Any bombers that sound a little like ours?" Sakura asked Tomoyo who flipped through the Criminal Records.
"Well there is this one guy-wait no, he was executed so it wasn't him. Aha! There's this one girl who-oh no, sorry. She's turned to charity work now. Um." Tomoyo looked through the files some more.
"But remember Tomoyo-chan, our bomber hasn't harmed anyone.and most of the bombings are set around midnight." Sakura reminded her. Tomoyo nodded and looked through the files for someone with that description.
"Nope! There no one that even sounds a teensy bit like our bomber." Tomoyo said with a sigh. Sakura sighed and rolled over on her stomach.
"How long do you think this will take?" She asked her best friend who was running a hand through her auburn locks. Tomoyo had an evil glint in her eye.
"I hope for a while, I know you want to spend more time with Master Li."
"Hoe! Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura screamed as she hid her face in one of Tomoyo's pillows. Tomoyo chuckled.
"Ah Sakura-chan, it's obvious that you like him. Even a blind man could see that!" Tomoyo told her.
"Okay maybe a like him a little bit..." Sakura said in a small voice, her face still in the pillow.
"AH KAWAII! And I got it all on tape! Ohohoho I'm going to name this one: 'Sakura-chan's Kawaii Confession!'" Tomoyo stated as she whipped the black video camera off of her dresser. Sakura looked up and hid her face in her hands, her face beet red.
"Tomoyo-chan..."
"Sakura-chan admitted she likes Master Li! Ah this is all too kawaii! Now when Sakura and Li-kun get married and have children I'll get to film them!" Tomoyo said in a happy voice as she taped Sakura from different angles. Sakura looked up horrified before she started beating the pillow, her face still red with embarrassment.
"TOMOYO-CHAAAAAN!"
_*_*_*_
(Dining Room)
"So where are you moving to cousin Eriol?" Xiefa asked.
Eriol was seated between Fanren and Fuutie, Xiefa and Fiemei were sitting across from him. Syaoran sat at the end of the table-as far away from Him as possible. Shin Lo sat between his father and Fiemei, and Yelan sat at the other end of the table.
Eriol cleared his throat and wiped his mouth with the cream colored napkin before answering.
"I will be on the Mainland, on a street called Spinel Sun. The EXACT address is 583 Spinel Sun Street." Eriol answered.
"Oh, and your parents were all right with you moving so far from England Eriol?" Yelan asked.
"Oh yes, at first they didn't think it was a good idea for me to move from England but I am 26 after all, I can make my own decisions. And they agreed to come and visit me once in a while." Eriol explained.
Eriol's mother was the older sister to Xieyu, Syaoran's father. She had fallen in love with a English boy at the age of 15 and married him at the age of 19. They had both moved to England, since the boy was only an exchange student to the school Eriol's mother went to. Two years later they had received word that Xieyu's sister was pregnant and was to have a baby boy. Eriol.
Syaoran felt sorry for his aunt, having to give birth to the Devil in Disguise, it seemed to him that Eriol's main point in living was to make him miserable, and now he was flirting with the girl who he sorta-kinda- maybe likes.
"Eriol how come your aren't married yet? I mean your so kawaii who wouldn't marry you?" Fanren asked while smiling. Eriol smiled back.
"Well there's not a lot of girls out there who suit my taste. And it looks like I'm not the only one here who is waiting for the Perfect Girl huh Cute Lil Cousin?" Eriol asked while tossing a wink Syaoran who was glaring at him non stop.
"Yeah, yeah what ever. AND DON'T CALL ME CUTE LIL COUSIN YOU FREAK!" He said with fire burning in his eyes.
"Xiaolang!" His mother hissed at him shocked at his actions.
"Sorry mother." Syaoran murmured an apology and fixed his eyes on his plate.
"Um Mistress Li? You had asked for the paper to be brought to you?" Came a new voice. Everyone turned to see Tomoyo standing by the door with a rolled up newspaper in her hands.
Eriol stared intently at her. Those shimmering purple orbs, the way her hair bounced when she made any kind of movement. He could have sworn he saw Angel Wings and a Halo.
The young beauty handed Yelan Li the newspaper, and bowed to everyone before walking back out of the door.
'I'll see her again.' Eriol thought as he continued to eat the Ramen noodles. 'and I'll also find out what her name is.' _*_*_*_*_
(Midnight)
"Sakura.." Rang a voice in Sakura's ear. The sleeping girl smiled a bit.
"Syaoran-kun.?" She asked in her sleep smiling.
"No Sakura-chan, it's Tomoyo, you know, your best friend?" Tomoyo asked smiling while shaking Sakura gently.
Sakura sat up and wiped the sleep from her eyes and smiled at Tomoyo.
"Hey Tomoyo-chan." She said as she cocked her head.
"Ne Sakura-chan, how long have you been dreaming about Li-kun?" Tomoyo asked with an innocent look on her face.
"What? Mou! Your so mean Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura said blushing while she playfully pushed her laughing friend.
"Okay let's get this over with Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo said while shining her flashlight in the auburn haired girl's face. Sakura jumped out of bed dressed in her Police Officer outfit. Tomoyo grinned.
Once safe outside of the Li Estate and on the Mainland they two women began their job. They casually walked down business streets inspecting everything, making sure that there were no lights on, no one lurking in the shadows, and must importantly they made sure they didn't hear that dread sizzling.
"Everything looks calm to me Tomoyo-chan." Tomoyo nodded her head in agreement.
Sizzle.
They both looked at each other with horror written on their faces.
"Oh no." Tomoyo whispered.
Sizzle.
"Sakura-chan."
"Tomoyo-chan.."
"DUCK!"
Both girls dived to the ground just as a fire ball erupted without a warning. The eruption was to far away, maybe just around the corner. The two girls jumped up and broke out into a dash. When they got to the sight all they saw was a burnt down store and debris everywhere. Sakura sighed.
"Now we'll never know what store it was!" She whined.
Police sirens filled the air. Both looked at each other, and as if reading each other's minds they began to run towards the ferry to go home.
_*_*_*_*_
(Next Day-Breakfast)
Both Sakura and Tomoyo were serving the Li Family and their guest breakfast. They didn't seem to notice the stares that two certain people were giving them. Eriol and Syaoran just couldn't seem to take their eyes off of the goddess's, the Li Sisters squealed in delight. Sakura placed a plate in front of Syaoran and winked at him, Syaoran blushed and managed to smile back.
When Tomoyo placed a plate in front of Eriol she stole a glance, which was bad because she almost dropped her plate. Eriol stared into her orbs as did Tomoyo. He looked so handsome and Tomoyo had this urge to just run her hands through his midnight blue hair. In a low whisper, for no one to hear he asked her a question.
"May I know your name fair maiden?" He asked smoothly. Tomoyo blushed and looked away not meeting his gaze.
"My -my name is Tomoyo. Tomoyo Daidouji sir." Tomoyo whispered back. She was about to serve Shin Lo when Eriol grabbed her arm bringing her attention back to him.
"Call me Eriol." He whispered before letting go of her hand and started to eat his breakfast as if nothing happened while a dumbfounded Tomoyo just nodded her head.
Both girls, after they were done serving breakfast, bowed showing their respect to the family and left them to eat in peace. A second after they left Eriol excused himself from the table, he walked through the door that Sakura and Tomoyo had gone through. Shortly after, a suspicious Syaoran also excused himself.
_*_*_*_
(Kitchen)
"...yeah there was another bomb last night." Sayu was telling Fai Mong while mixing ingredients.
"Really? Where?" Asked Fai Mong who obviously hadn't heard about it. Sakura and Tomoyo strained their ears to here more from the other side of the Kitchen.
"You didn't hear? It was on Yue Street! The bomb was INSIDE 'Leather You Like It Or Not'...you know the place that sells suit cases?" Sayu continued.
"Really? It was burnt to the ground?" Fai Mong asked her eyes getting wide.
"Well at least we know now where store it was." Tomoyo whispered to Sakura who nodded.
"Well Minla says I have to go and make the beds, so I'll see you later Sakura-chan, ja!" Tomoyo said while taking off her apron.
"Ja Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said to Tomoyo's disappearing figure. She inhaled deeply and sighed and she continued to form the cookies.
"Boo." Came a soft masculine voice.
Sakura jumped an inch off the ground, she came face to face with Eriol Hiiragizawa. She bowed after she had gotten over her shock but Eriol helped her up making her look him in the eye.
"Sakura, a beauty like yourself shouldn't have to bow." He said and took her hands in hands. "Nor should she have to work." Sakura looked away with a faint blush.
"Bu-but it's my job." She told him. Eriol brought her closer to him, Sakura blushed from the closeness and tried to pull away, it didn't feel right.
"I don't see how such a lovely creature would want to work and get her pretty face dirty." He said while his thumb traced her jaw line. Sakura pushed herself from his arms and went back to forming the cookie dough to look like hearts.
"I-I really must be getting back to work sir." She said in a shaky voice. Unknown to her and Eriol, Syaoran was watching from a dark corner, not happy with Eriol at all...and in a room full of knives he started to get ideas.
"Yes of course, I shall see the fair lady again shant I not?" He said while kissing her right hand.
"Um.sure." Sakura said not sure if she should have answered that question. Eriol gave her a charming smile before skipping out of the Kitchen. Sakura let out a sigh of relieve that he was gone and went back to work. She stopped working when she felt a tap on the shoulder. Smiling inwardly she greeted the mysterious person.
"Syaoran-kun!" She said with excitement in her voice. She couldn't help put notice the coldness in his eyes and how his eyebrows were knitted together.
"Sakura..stay away from him. Don't believe anything he says. He tells all lies." Syaoran ordered. He had an intense glare which Sakura was not use to. Sakura gulped.
"Hai, Master Li." She said in a sad voice. She turned her head so Syaoran wouldn't see the tears which were threatening to spill. Syaoran realized his mistake immediately. He grabbed Sakura by her shoulders and made her face him. A stray tear fell from her eye, Syaoran'' heart ached, he had made her cry.
"Sakura..." He started, she looked at him sadly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't had been that mad it's just that...well you wouldn't understand but please, stay away from Eriol." He paused and wiped his bangs from in front of his eyes. "For your own good stay away from him."
Sakura smiled. "Your not mad at me?" She asked.
"Of course not. If anything I'm mad at Him." Syaoran said wearing a weak smile. Sakura let out a squeal of delight and hugged him, eyes everywhere were focused on them. Syaoran blushed and found himself returning the hug.
Eriol opened the door to the Kitchen a crack and peeped inside. His eyes twinkled seeing the sight. 'I AM a genius.' He told himself proudly before closing the door.
'Syaoran-kun is such a sweetie.' Sakura thought while smiling. They let go of each other a little reluctant. Syaoran scratched the back of his head.
"Well ah, you probably have work to do and ah, well I'll see you later okay?" He put his hands in his pockets and looked towards the Japanese girl. Sakura gave him a warm smile which melted his heart.
'No girl...ever has had this kind of affect on me. She's something else.' Syaoran thought while gazing into her emerald orbs. He shook himself out of the trance she seemed to have him in and stumbled out of the door.
