5th Chapter
~* Hong Kong Crisis *~
Well... my dad forgot again, so I'm trying to update in a jiffy again. =]

= Sakura POV =
"I... fell in love with you."
The words fell from my mouth.
I could see his face was red and surprised, and I'm sure mine was not too far from that description.
"You... do?" he asked, his voice hoarse.
"No! I'm lying." I said and turned around, smiling to myself.
I felt arms circle around me.
I held my breath.
"Why... did I fall in love with such a stubborn, lying, trickster." He murmured in my ear.
I felt chills run down my back.
And all I did was smile and put my hand on his arms.
"Sakura, will you –"
BAM
"Hey guys I heard some crashes. What's going on... oh."
Eriol had entered through the room.
If looks could kill, Eriol would have been standing there as a pile of cinders.
"Oh... well... I guess I came in at a bad time?" he said sheepishly as Xiao Lang let go of me and started advancing on him with a killer look.
There was no time for murder though.
The door opened and in came a gorgeous raven-haired girl.
Her amethyst eyes went immediately to me.
"Sakuraaa!" she cried, running towards me with outstretched arms.
"Tomoyo! When did you get here?" I said happily as I embraced my cousin.
"Just now! Wow! I haven't seen you in months! You look even cuter than ever! I must make new clothes for you! Ohohoho!" she said laughing.
"Ehehe...heh." I sweat dropped.
Tomoyo turned around and saw Eriol and Xiao Lang standing there gaping at her.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I got just a little carried away there!" Tomoyo laughed.
'Just a little?' I thought, and I was sure by Eriol's and Xiao Lang's expressions that their thought weren't too far away from mine.
She bowed towards them. "I am Tomoyo Daidouji, Sa- I mean, Kanako's cousin. Hajimemashite" she was flustered.
I ran forward.
"Oh don't worry Tomoyo. They know." I explained.
Eriol's eyes were confused.
"What... how did you know I knew?" he asked.
"Well... when I erased your memory, I realized that even if I erased yours, Clow Reed's would still remember." I said smiling.
His eyes twinkled.
"I see... you are worthy of the clow cards." He said approvingly.
Tomoyo squealed.
"Are you... are you Sakura's BOYFRIEND!?" she yelled.
I tripped.
"NO. Absolutely not! "I said, blushing.
"OF COURSE NOT" Xiao Lang snarled, looking at Eriol with a death glare.
"OF COURSE I AM!" he said smiling. He took me by the waist and twirled around. He set me down lightly and looked in Xiao Lang's direction, looking for a reaction.
And he got one.
"THAT IT, YOU'RE GOING DOWN." Xiao Lang yelled as he leaped forward.
I sighed.
"C'mon Tomoyo... lets go into the other room where there's less noise." I said, leading the way for Tomoyo out the room.
Once out of the room, I updated her on all the events that had happened in the last few months she was not there.
"I have the clow cards now... I've been training for a month. I have a good grip on it." I said determinedly.
"I can avenge my brother and sister now." I said to her.
Her eyes held a worried glint.
"Sakura... how are you going to find him? I mean... he could be anywhere. Besides, what if you get hurt? The nation cannot survive without you." She said softly.
"I have to," I said stubbornly," its true that my sisters death was the one that let me finally come out, but I hate it. I would rather be stuck down underground than have her dead. I can't forgive him. Twins have a bond. I've lost mine."
Tomoyo was silent.
"And... and Touya, even though he called me monster all the time, he always came to visit me. Every day, along with Kanako. It's killing me. Knowing their deaths is giving me this air I'm breathing now." I choked.
"Well... you know what is best for you. If revenge is really what you want, the do so. But remember, your brother and sister wouldn't want you to be a murderer just for them." Tomoyo said wisely, her eyes misting up.
I was silent as we walked towards our bedrooms, oblivious to the ongoing fight below us.
++++++++++
=Tomoyo POV =
I awoke to the soothing sounds of birds chirping outside my window.
I yawned and got out of bed.
I opened the window and peered outside and saw the beauty of Japan.
The verdant landscape was beautiful.
I started singing softly:
~~~~ I'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
Then all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread ....
"I think I love you"
I sang louder.
This morning, I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
And never talk about it
And did not go and shout it
When you walked into the room .....
"I think I love you"
I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way
Believe me
You really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say
Hey, go away, I will
But I think better still
I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way
I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I've go so much to think about
Hey!I think I love you!
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way
I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way...
~~~~
I took a breath.
I heard clapping behind me.
I whirled around, to see Eriol standing at the frame of the door room, smiling.
"your singing is beautiful." He complimented.
I flushed.
"Oh... oh, I'm not that great." I said looking down at my feet.
"What are you talking about? Your singing is wondrous. I wondered where Sakura learned such singing techniques from."
I smiled.
"She has talent. I didn't really teach her much." I said humbly.
He didn't respond. He was studying me.
"Y-yes? Is there something wrong?" I said stuttering.
He sauntered over and looked at me deep in the eyes.
"You have beautiful eyes do you know that Ms. Daidouji?" he said.
"Tomoyo is fine." I said looking into his azure eyes, "and... and your eyes are nice too!" I blurted.
'omg... I must sound like a total idiot!" I thought. ' tomoyo you baka baka!"
Eriol laughed.
"If both our eyes match, then we should too yea?" he said casually.
"What... what does that mean?" I asked
"Ahaha! Nothing." He said brushing off my question.
"XIAO LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!" a voice screamed.
Eriol and I froze.
"What-"I started but Eriol interrupted me.
"oh god..." was all he said before he grabbed my hand and we rushed out of room.
++++++++++
= Xiao Lang POV =
I was drinking water when I heard a very familiar voice scream,
"XIAO LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!"
I choked.
"oh shit..."
I didn't take more than 3 steps when a blur came rushing at me.
I yelped.
BOOM
A girl with jet-black hair and ruby eyes hugged me tight across my waist and her eyes were on mine.
"XIAO LANG!" she said gleefully," you thought you could get away from me by coming to the retched place? You thought wrong!"
"MELING, GET-OFF-ME!" I said exacerbated.
"No way!" she said angrily," why did you come here? You left me in Hong Kong all by myself!"
"Um... excuse me?"
I turned around from my position on the ground.
Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol stood at the doorway looking at him and Meiling.
Tomoyo's face was of confusion. Eriol's looked slightly annoyed. And Sakura's.... silent anger.
"Look... I can explain" I said to Sakura.
Meiling looked at the Sakura with pure loathing.
"Who are you?" she said boldly.
"I am Princess Kanako, of Japan." She said stiffly.
"Xiao Lang! How can you associate with that... that ugly girl!" Meiling said in disbelief.
"Don't call her that." I said through clenched teeth. She was going to ruin everything!
"Excuse me, for being ruse, but may I ask who are you?" Sakura asked her coldly.
Before I could stop the conversation, Meiling repied.
"I am Prince Xiao Lang's fiancé." She said, emphasizing fiancé.
Sakura looked thunderstruck.
"Oh... i... see." She said confusion blinding her.
"Its over Meiling! We aren't engaged anymore!" I hissed at her.
"Don't lie Li. Its still official." She said smirking.
"Wha-"
Before I could do anything else, Meiling had bent forward and kissed me.
I was so in shock I didn't do anything as I felt her force her tongue in my mouth.
I pushed her.
"Get off me!" I yelled at her.
But the damage had been done.
Sakura looked like she had been slapped.
"Well, Li," She said coldly at me, "I'm going upstairs."
She turned and stomped away.
It felt like someone had taken a cold bucket of water and poured it over me.
"Sakura-"I croaked.
Tomoyo sent me a death glare and turned and ran after Sakura.
Eriol was glaring at Meiling.
"Why cant you just accept that Xiao Lang doesn't like you Meiling? He never has." Eriol said with silent fury.
I didn't wait to hear what she would say.
I ran after Tomoyo and Sakura.
++++++++++
I approached Sakura's room, and took a deep breath and I opened her door.
What I saw almost broke my heart.
Sakura was on her bed sobbing. Tomoyo was next to her helpless, not knowing what to do.
When I entered, Tomoyo glared at me.
She got off the bed and walked toward me. As she passed me, she said, "This is your fault Li. Fix it." and with that, she left the room, closing the door softly.
I went towards the bed hesitantly.
Sakura had now stopped crying and was sniffing.
"Sa-"my voice cracked "Sakura..."
She didn't lift her head but continued to sniff.
"Do you love her?" she suddenly asked.
"Of course not." I said in a solid tone.
"Then...why were you engaged to her?" she asked, sniffing again.
"Because...." I thought, should I tell her the truth?
"Because... I DID love her." I said quickly.
Sakura finally looked up. Her eyes were red and puffy.
Despite that, her face still looked beautiful.
"But... But I love YOU now. I fell out of love with her when she hurt my nanny. I found she wasn't the right girl for me" I said quickly, seeing more tears spilling down her face.
I was uncomfortable. I wasn't good at telling my feelings, but I knew if I didn't, Sakura would understand.
She smiled.
"I... I believe you." She said with a shaky voice.
"Sakura...will... will you go out with me?" I said, my voice trembling, waiting for an answer.
She looked at me long and hard.
I felt my heart drop.
"You don't even need to ask. You know my answer." She said, laughing.
I grinned.
I grabbed her and kissed her.
I felt her kiss back. I was in heaven.
"You promise... you promise you will always love me?" she said, asking hesitantly.
"Of course... only love you." I said.
I had opened my heart to her; let her see the side I had been hiding for years. Of course I loved her a lot.
"That's... good." She said softly.
++++++++++
I looked in the room.
I saw Xiao Lang hugging the Princess, kissing her.
I saw red.
"Princess... you will regret taking the man I love away from me." I cackled evilly.
++++++++++
Eriol smiled.
"Things are sure getting interesting.." I said softly.
I felt a lamp hit my head.
"OUCH!" I yelled, and glared at Tomoyo.
"Stop talking to yourself. Do you know that talking to yourself is the first sign of madness?" she said retorting.
"Does being madly in love with you count?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
She rolled her eyes.
I laughed.

= Sakura POV =
it was night. I opened the clow book. The cards came out in a flurry and circled me. I could feel their strength.
"Kanako... Touya... I'm almost ready." I whispered.
