9:43 P.M.
----------------------------------
She stared at the front of her seat, seeing Yukito and her brother occupying the seats in front of her and Tomoyo. Satisfied with herself, she turned towards Tomoyo, trying to get a conversation going. "Isn't this exciting, Tomoyo. A vacation in Kyoto again. I love it when we go there. Such a beautiful place. Don't ya think?" She asked, but Tomoyo turned away from her and look out in her window.
"What's wrong, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked her friend, who by the way still did not look at her. Sighing she turned away and stared down the aisle. They were in first class. Watching as the hostess and hosts on the plane helping the passenger. Leaning her arm on the armrest she tapped her fingers. Wondering what to do, she just clicked the button for service.
A young woman came, her long black hair swayed as she walked from the pilot's control room. But Sakura noticed that her brother looked at her with curiosity.
"Hey, Yukito. Lookie at that prized beauty there." Yukito groaned, knowing what would be happening next. Touya had pressed the service button, the woman coming towards them.
Then seeing that Touya pressed the service button. Since the hostess was coming from front and her brother and her crush were in front of them, she went towards the young men first.
Sakura frowned, watching the hostess flirt with her Yuki. Pressing her service button, Tomoyo watched as Sakura placed a scowl on her face. Turning towards the direction of the situation. Tomoyo frowned, seeing Touya flirt with the hostess. She then pressed her service button.
Time went on, and the young woman did not leave, she was still talking to them. She leaned on the other seat, laughing with the two men. Others were annoyed how the two girls were pressing their service button over and over again. Finally someone complained, making a host come towards them.
"May I help you two?" The host asked annoyed. But the two were still looking forward, frowns placed on their face. Snapping his fingers, he finally got the two attentions. "What?" Sakura asked in indignation. Looking at him, she noticed his brown eyes and dark brown hair. "You look familiar," she stated looking at him. Tomoyo nodded.
Somehow he does look familiar.
Raising an eyebrow, he just shrugged. "I don't believe we have met before. I am Atashi Cheun. You must be?" Hoping to get the auburn hair girl's name, he asked. Sakura rolled her eyes, 'dimwit.' He actually thought he would give her name, especially to a total loser who is kind of desperate. Coming here and thinking I would his oh so special someone who would be totally desperate. "Can I get a drink?" She asked, changing the subject.
"Passengers please fasten your seatbelts, we will be leaving in a couple of moments."
Everyone heard the intercom and began fastening their seatbelts. The announcements were being told, but Sakura just looked straight ahead, fuming with anger. Seeing the young woman help with Yukito's seatbelt. While he tried to get her to stop.
Fuming with anger, she stood up. "Excuse me, miss." Looking at her nametag, "Ms. Hikari Yi, but I think he doesn't need ya help. I mean, he is practically stating it. Duh!"
The hostess quirked ups an eyebrow at the young girl. "And you are?" she asked, trying to make her go away. "Sakura Kinomoto! So if you don't mind, you need to get back to you station thingy, whatever. I mean, it is your job."
They hostess smirked, "Well, you sure got attitude. I should be on my way, gentlemen." Turning away she swayed her hips and let her hair flip as she gave a few words to her. Walking towards the backroom, Sakura followed. Hikari didn't care about the girl. "Don't you think you are too young for them." She whispered to the Sakura. Knowing she was right behind her. Grabbing some magazines and some peanuts into a cart, she hoped to tell the girl off.
Obviously Sakura didn't care. "I may be young, but I am not old." She growled out triumphantly. "I can totally offer more."
----------------------------------------
The plane ride towards Kyoto to Sakura was, dreadful. Every moment the hostess would come back and check on them. Every two freaking minutes. She was just like an annoying fly bothering Yuki. Thanking that the flight had ended, she would never see that bitch ever again.
Girls like her never get too far.
As they boarded off, Sakura noticed something odd about the scene of her window. It was not the usual airport they would go to every year and then going to her parent's hotel.
"Hey, this isn't Kyoto!" Looking towards the tall buildings and skyscrapers. Tomoyo looked outside too, confused. Where were they?
"Oh my gosh! We went on the wrong plane!" The two yelled out at the same time.
Touya stood up and straightened his suit. Glaring at the two for embarrassing themselves and him. "Would you two, shut up. We are in New York." As Yukito walked towards the aisle he and Touya regretted those words.
Tomoyo looked towards them. "New York? Why are we in New York?" Walking out to towards the aisle to get her small bag from the compartment, she knew something was going to happen.
"Because, since you did not want Yukito to leave you, we changed your tickets and brought you to this place. I told Otou-san and Okaa-san to come here." He stated. Looking towards his watch, it was five in the afternoon in America.
The four walked out of first class and into the tunnel. As they walked in silence, Sakura broke out. "Why are we here? I wanted to go to Kyoto! Stay in Okaa-san and Otou-san's hotel!" She asked stubbornly.
The jet-black hair man started to lose his patience with his sister. "We are here for business! Remember. Me and Yukito were going to make partner." Telling her in a business tone. Trying to calm himself down, he clenched his fist.
Trying not to lose his temper.
She couldn't stand the fact that everything was changing. "Y'know what? Never mind, just get me to next plane to Kyoto!" She yelled. If sacrificing Yukito to get back the old schedule then so is it.
Touya and Yukito stopped. Both now wondering why the hell she wants to go back. "Now you want to go back?" Both asked. Irritated. Looking towards the auburn hair girl, she nodded. "Well, duh! That is what I said!!!"
The older brother and the little sister argued, not letting anyone talk to either of them. Yukito tried, but Sakura didn't care. She wanted the way it was supposed to be. She did not want to be in New York, she didn't care the fact that people were staring at her oddly.
"Get me on the next plane back to Kyoto!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting in the plane lobby, Sakura and Tomoyo were going to the next flight to Kyoto. But Yukito and Touya were still going with them. Not in the country that the emerald and amethyst eye girls knew. America was too weird. Sakura only traveled around Asia, they had to go with them again.
Sakura didn't care anymore for Yuki anymore. Well, for now anyways. She sat by herself away from everyone. She was told that a couple of other people were going to be coming along. Her brother told her parents that they would be going to Kyoto again.
Feeling a tap on her shoulder, she turned around to find Touya. "Great, you're here…" she stated sarcastically. He sat in the next seat next to her. Turning away from him, she pouted. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Ignoring the question, she looked at her light pink nails. Examining if they need more work done. "Sakura answer me. Now!" She ignored him. But he wouldn't stop. "Mind your own business Onii-chan!" She growled out. Now was not the time to bother her.
Sitting up straight he looked at her oddly. "I want to know why you are acting like a baby." At the end of his sentence she turned towards him. 'Freaking onii-chan! The dumbass!' She scoffed at his words, intentionally she inched her face closer to his. "A baby? What the fuck are you talking about?" She swayed her hand to his face, flicking him.
Touya had about enough, grabbing her wrist, he banged it on the armrest of the seat. She winced in pain, not knowing the fact it was probably sprained. "You are acting like a spoiled brat, first you were mad about the whole thing not doing your way. Then crying in the airport in Japan. Embarrassing all of us. Not noticing you are hurting your best friend's feelings." He paused, a silence was now heard. She rolled her eyes, it was her turn now. "What's your point, Tomoyo won't stay mad at me that long. I am her only friend."
He gritted his teeth, trying not to attract other people's attention. His sister was getting on his nerves. "Sakura. I am not even done. Don't be acting like a bitch to me now." He told her, trying not to raise his voice. Few people watched as the two fought. Whispers and stares were now going towards their direction.
Grabbing her wrist away she growled through her teeth. No one was to ever touch like her like that again. "Does it look like I care?! I can be a bitch if I want to. Now just go!" she screamed out.
Well that done it, she attracted everyone's attention.
-------------------------
Yukito and Tomoyo now watched the whole thing from afar. With a few people behind them. "Why don't we use the facilities before we board?" Turning towards the people from behind him. The attempt failed. They watched the scene with interest. But not the good kind of way.
"I am tired of listening you whine and order people around. I am you older brother! Show some respect!"
The men and women behind Tomoyo and Yukito heard screaming now. The twenty six year old man, tried. Tomoyo looked sadly towards him. This was supposed to be there big chance. But Sakura was ruining it.
-----------------------------
The brother and sister were now standing. She can feel stares, hear the whispers. Everyone watching her. "Just because you are older than me, doesn't mean anything!" She stated, feeling anger seeping out of her.
Touya knew what she was doing. "Of course, I do! You are just making a total fool of yourself! If I were you I would cut the drama queen act and start respecting others."
"New York, Boarding flight 213. Will, First Class now Board."
Hearing this the two didn't stop glaring at each other. "Well, I better get my stuff, and leave this shit." Grabbing her small carry on bag. She flipped her hair into his face. "Well, time to go."
She ran towards the entrance, giving her ticket to the person, and into the girls' restroom. Going toward the door, she locked it. 'Damn' she thought. Touya knew how girls were. She smirked. Staring at the mirror, she smirked. "Well lucky for you, onii-chan. You aren't me." Whispering to the mirror.
"Dear onii-chan, so smart, yet so stupid."
---------------------------------------
Our four characters sat in their seat. All not saying one sound, an awkward silence was placed. Not looking towards each other. Not even bumping on the armrest. As Sakura looked out of her window, she hated how everything looked so happy. It was sickening.
Although, she usually loved happy day, today wasn't that great. Turning towards Tomoyo, she asked her to move for a moment so she could go to the restroom.
Her best friend moved, still not saying a word. Tomoyo looked at her with an annoyed expression. As Sakura left, Tomoyo rolled her eyes. She looked sadly at Touya and Yukito. They didn't get the partner. After the scene back in New York, their work went down the drain.
Touya with his jacket off, his shirt loosened, he rested his head on the palm of his hand. All of those years, wanting to sign with that company. All of those months with papers, planning, and dealing. It was in the palm of his hands. He and Yukito were close! So close to sealing the deal. This would have gone great with their business.
He didn't want to deal with her anymore. It was her fault. But then again, if he didn't lose his anger, and that if he didn't bother her, none of this would have had happen. He was supposed to be the big brother, and him being older too.
He then felt a tap over his shoulder. Turning towards the person, it wasn't Yukito. It was Tomoyo sitting in his seat. "Yukito went to find the bathroom," she whispered to him softly. He looked at her as she continued to talk. "Don't feel bad, it wasn't your fault. It was Sakura's. We know how much you wanted this, but don't-"
"Well what do we have here?" Turning around they met with the sour Sakura. "Gosh, Tomoyo. All because you like my brother, doesn't mean for you to say that." She looked dangerously at her. Going back to her seat, she continued. "You freaking bitch. All because you so called love him ever since you saw him doesn't mean-"
"Oh, shut up." The amethyst eye girl turned away from Touya. Blushing madly. Embarrassed by the words that came out of her so-called best friend's mouth. The bitching would never end. Of course she could never see his face after this. Especially when they are on a flight. Now she had to figure of a way not to see him after this.
Sakura smirked as she had done the deed. Revenge was sweet. Placing her headphones on, she listened to the sounds of the waves. It was so peaceful. Maybe a dream would play. And she loved it. It was sweet and nice. Full of tranquility. Just the way she liked it.
Touya leaned his head back on his seat. Great. More stress to build up on. Now he had to worry of a teen liking him. No offense to Tomoyo, but he only liked her as a friend. A confidant. But now he had to worry about how not to hurt her feelings. For goodness sakes she was child! He should have known, with all the blushing and shyness, it would've been obvious to see. 'Great'
-------------
Hours, very long hours have passed since any of them spoken. None spoke to another yet. Tomoyo had found another seat to occupy in the middle class, as another person took her seat happily in first class. Unfortunately for Sakura, it was an overweight, greedy, sweaty man who took it. He ordered as much food as possible and pigged out in front of her. To make things worse, he thought of her as cute.
Yukito still didn't come back from wherever he came from. Touya, his eyes were red, full of the worry and anger he had gotten. Not getting a wink of eye of sleep. This sucked really bad. He would never get over it. Well, maybe he would, but not for a while.
"Will everyone fasten their seatbelts? We will be landing in five minutes." A woman over the intercom stated.
Sakura happily fastened her seatbelt and looked disgustingly towards the man next to her. He looked disappointed and ate depressingly. He looked at her with sad eyes, as she looked at him with her eye twitching.
A few moments later Yukito came back, his shirt was unbuttoned, showing his toned body under a white inside shirt. He looked smug as his hair was messy, and he smelt of a scent. A woman's fragrance.
Sakura raised an eyebrow, what in the word had happened since he was gone.
Touya looked at him oddly. His eyes widen. "Yukito, you didn't…"
Yukito rested in his seat, "I guess, we will be off soon." His voice was husky, making him sound more manly and rugged. Yukito began to button his shirt and fastened his seatbelt.
The two friends laughed out, this was sure a day to remember. "Glad you had a good time…" sarcastically Touya stated. He didn't get any. "Does she have a sister?"
"Do you need help with your seatbelt, sir?" A woman's voice asked at the aisle. It was a young woman, maybe a couple of years older than Sakura. She had shoulder length layered black hair. Her figure was hugged right, wearing black fit pants, with a fit plain red tank top. Her face was with light makeup. She looked like she was a model. Her crimson eyes looked at Yukito, who by the way smirked.
A familiar scent had roamed around the area. Her perfume smelt of a wild fragrance, yet wonderful.
Sakura scowled to herself. She watched as Yukito nodded as she helped with his seatbelt. How close her hands were to him and her touch affected him so. How her body was way too close to him. And how she wasn't even a hostess. The auburn hair girl clenched the armrest of her seat, watching with full content.
The woman smiled as she showed her white straight teeth. She walked away towards the next aisle and sat in her seat. She fastened her seatbelt and looked forwards with a smile on her face.
Sakura turned away with pain filling in her. She just wanted to cry. She looked towards the young woman on the other aisle. She was too beautiful to compete with. The two looked at each other with excitement and probably that they like each other.
-------------------
The plane landed, no one still had talked to Sakura. And to make things worse, she found out her name was Meilin, and that she was to accompany them. For she too, was on vacation. Finding out that she was a business executive and not a model, that really was much more worse. She was pretty and smart. That she was currently single and her schedule was free.
Sakura tried not to show how upset she was. Tomoyo, on the other hand knew how Sakura was smacked in the face with this woman. She smirked. Serves her right. If she didn't mess up with the deal, back in New York, none of this would have had happen. Tomoyo loved what was happening. This was better. Like Sakura, Revenge was sweet. Even though the raven hair girl didn't plan it, it was better than what she could have ever thought of.
Arriving at her parents' hotel, Sakura watched as her parents talked with the newcomer with interest. As they sat in the lobby of her parents' hotel, they engaged in conversation. They liked her.
She walked away excusing herself that she was tired and that she would go to her room. Tomoyo followed too, up the stairs, the hotel people carried their luggage to their room and placed them in. As Tomoyo gave in a tip and acted grateful, Sakura sat on one of the beds and sat there silently.
Tomoyo turned towards Sakura, looking at her with disapproval. "Hurts don't it?" She asked aloud. Going to the bathroom she took out her small carry on, and had gotten her toothbrush and make up remover.
Sakura didn't say anything. She looked at the wall, not doing anything.
Tomoyo continued. As she walked in and out of the bathroom and going through her stuff. "Even though you embarrassed me, yours is much worse." But to her guilt, she didn't push any farther from there. She could tell her friend was hurting. Badly. Dressed in her Pjs she sat next to her. "Don't worry, Sakura." Tomoyo would act as the better person, and being a friend that the girl needed.
Sakura didn't flinch at all. She continued to look straightly at the wall in front of her. To her life sucked. For now. Tomoyo helped her to get ready for bed, placing her down on her bed. Placing the blanket on her. Walking away, she turned the A.C. on low and hopped into her own bed. Both girls feeling sad and lonely.
"Why does this always happen to me?" Sakura asked aloud. A piercing silence fills the room.
"Probably, because it wasn't supposed to happen the way you wanted it." Tomoyo answered. Closing her eyes she tried to fall asleep. And sleep she did have.
Sakura turned away. It was karma. She did ruin everything on their trip. Ruin their purpose going to New York, how she was a spoiled brat, a bitch, and other personalities she played with. Maybe this was a way that fate was teaching her to stop herself before doing any damage.
---------------------
The next day was much more eventful. During breakfast, everyone found out that the woman, Meilin, had to go back to work. That her boss needed her. And that Yukito was going to go with her.
"Touya, why don't you come with us." Meilin stated. Taking a sip of her orange juice she grabbed a piece of toast and stuffed it into her mouth. Touya raised an eyebrow at this. Meilin sensed that curiosity filled the room. "I have a friend who works in attorney of law. She too, has been looking for partner." With manners, she poked her fork into her bacon and eggs.
"What company does she work for?" He asked, drinking his orange juice, and eating his bagel. Thinking this woman was probably bad in business.
"She's very successful if you ask me. Works in America. But she needs a partner that knows their stuff. Her office is very busy. Her name's Kaho."
Touya's eyes widen and he began to choke on his orange juice. Wiping the napkin on his mouth he tried to breathe. "Isn't she in America?"
"Yes, she was. But like I said, she has taken a couple of weeks off. She is like where I live, and that's where she does her work. Even if the countries- "
"She worked with some of the biggest cases in America. Even beating the top in New York." Which was the company that he was aiming for. Turning towards his family he gawked. "Can you believe it? She knows the Kaho."
Meilin smiled towards everyone. "Then why don't Sakura and Tomoyo here, come with us. I am sure they could help me around the office."
The two looked at each other, but not really feeling up to it.
Sakura looked towards her plate and broke the shell of her hard boiled egg. "I don'-"
"Sure! We both would love to go!" Tomoyo answered happily. Obviously she wasn't embarrassed anymore. Excitedly she chirped up a bit. "Is there really cute guys?"
"Yes, if you are talking of the teenage population. The malls are jam pack though."
"Where is this place?"
"Hong Kong. In China."
"Sounds like fun…" Sakura looked at Yukito. She still wasn't over him. Yet. Maybe if she went, she could find a guy that would make him jealous. Maybe. Or she could find someone that would like her. Where no one would know much of her. Totally different in another area. She does know a bit of Chinese. Well not really.
Tomoyo looked at the girl next to her. 'Please say yes…' She begged in her mind. Looking eagerly at her. Nadeshiko and Fujitaka urged her to say yes, that this would be exciting and good to experience. Everyone waited for her to answer.
Touya didn't want her to come, or Tomoyo either. With them two, too many complications would be happening.
Timidly she dashed some salt on her egg and took a bite. She could keep an eye on the two. Maybe break them up. Looking at her egg. She didn't look up. "I'll go."
