ATTENTION!: This chapter is dedicated to Cecilia Zhang, who was kidnapped in her own home, and was found dead the day before her birthday near a river.
I have also dedicated Yuri 'Zhang' to her.
Let's hope she didn't die in vain.
You are probably unknown to her death because it happened in Toronto Ontario.
THIS IS FOR YOU CECILIA ZHANG!!! May your soul rest in peace.
Also on May 16, one of my brother friends just died, and it was a tragedy that he died in a car accident. His brother is living with his relatives, and his parents are badly injured.
So this is also for The Korkor family, and Amin Korkor, the son that died. May he rest in peace.
"Last call for flight 621 leaving for Florida, last call for flight 621," everyone was ready with their entire luggage standing in line waiting to board the plane.
"That's us!" Meiling yelled joyously as she ran to the plane. They all got their seats inside the plane and waited for flight.
After a half hour of the plane attendance explaining the usual they all buckled their seatbelts.
"Florida, Florida, Florida . . ." Meiling chanted as the flight took off. "FLORIDA HERE WE COME!" Sakura joined in with Meiling.
"Shhhhhhhhhh!" everyone around them said putting their fingers to their lips.
"You're no fun!" They said pouting. The flight was long and
when they arrived Sakura woke up from Tomoyo's camcorder inches away from
her face. "Hoe!" Sakura said getting up abruptly waking up Syaoran
who was next to her, "No mother today is not sell a cheesecake along with
a son day!" Syaoran yelled before he was conscious. "Um, no but
today is the day we arrive in Florida day!" Sakura said clapping her hands.
Then she turned to Tomoyo, "and what were you doing sticking that thing
in my face."
Tomoyo signaled Sakura and Syaoran over to her camcorder and tock out the side screen and replayed what she recorded, she fast forward at got to the part where . . .
SAKURA WAS SLEEPING ON SYAORAN'S SHOULDER WITH HIS HEAD ON HER'S HOLDING HANDS!
"What! Tomoyo how did you get someone who looked exactly like me any Syaoran-kun to play out such footage?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo and Syaoran sweat dropped. "Nani?" Sakura asked as she saw their faces.
They all dragged everyone's sleeping bodies outside of the airport, and headed towards the assigned hotel. "Florida's Paradise," Sakura read the building. They walked up to the accountant and asked, "Um we had reservations here," Hitaji told them. "Yes, what is you name, I mean names." She said seeing the group.
"Um, I think they put our names under Seijou junior high," Syaoran said. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but we don't have enough rooms for each of you separate, we never though that they would actually need that many rooms, so we have a few people occupying half the rooms that were ordered, so you will have to do two per room." She told them.
"Um, my I ask how many beds per room?" Syaoran asked. "Um one . . ." Syaoran scrunched up his face and turned red, he brought up his first to his face, clutching it hard, his knuckles turning white, his eyes twitching.
The attendant backed off into a corner. She extended out her hand and gave them the cards to their rooms. They all stared at the cards blankly.
"Um, in this hotel we don't use keys, instead to give you more
safety it can only be opened when you put the card into the slot." She
told them handing two cards per room. They nodded in agreement to go consult
who gets which room and who they have to share it with. "I'll go
with . . . Naoko!" Tomoyo said quickly, and then nodded her head; "yes
we have to work on our project."
Tomoyo took two pair of cards for room, 309.
"Okay, well I guess I'll go with Takashi, no one else could make him sleep on the couch," Chiharu said taking another two cards for room 307. "Um, ya Chine-chan, you want to be my roommate?" Rika asked, and Chine nodded her head taking another pair of cards for room 304.
"Alyana-chan may I have the honor of being your roommate?" Kniche said to Alyana, he and Alyana have gotten closer and had become very close, Kniche was very fond of her. Alyana nodded her head in acceptance. They grabbed a pair of cards for room 306.
"Well Meiling, I would like to get to know you better, mind to be my roommate?" Toriji asked extending his arm to her, she tock it and grabbed a pair of cards for room 308. "Xylo?" Hitaji asked, she quickly nodded and tock the second last pair of cards for room 305.
"Well I guess we'll be sharing a room," Sakura said taking the last two cards and handing one to Syaoran. "Um, ya . . ." They walked off to room 303 to get unpacked.
"Ready to go swimming!" Tomoyo cheered as they all gathered at the hotel main room. "Hai!" They all cheered. The group walked outside to find it pitch black. Sakura looked at her watch. "It's only 5:30 pm, why is it so dark?" Sakura asked. "Baka, we're in a different part of the world, which means different time zone," Syaoran explained to her. "So what time is it really then?" Sakura asked."Do the math," Syaoran told her. "What math?" Sakura asked confused. "It's 11:30 pm" Syaoran told her. "Hoe!" Sakura yelled, "But I'm not tired." She told him. "That's because you're not used to this time zone yet, you feel as if you're still in Japan." Syaoran explained . . . again.
All of a sudden it started to rain hard on them, "Ahh! Hot! Hot!" Sakura yelled as the rain drops fell on her bare skin."
"It's not that hot Sakura-chan," Rika told her as she went to get an umbrella from inside. "I think we better go back in," Hitaji said.
They all nodded in agreement and walked off but Sakura stopped when she saw something in the distance move so quickly she barley had time to make out what it was. "Syaoran," Sakura said tugging at his shirt, "Nani?" Syaoran asked rudely.
"I saw something move," Syaoran looked at her weird.
"I mean like this black thing just fly past." Sakura said in more detail. Syaoran looked out into the distance and finally noticed a fast object jumping for building to building. Syaoran started to run towards a building and looked up.
"What are you doing it's raining you're going to get sick!"
Sakura yelled at him.
And when she got no answer back she ran after him. What she finally reached
him he put at his hand and ordered, "Take my hand."
"Why?" Sakura asked but took his hand anyways.
Once her hand was in his Syaoran gripped it and jumped on the roof Sakura yelling under him, the only thing keeping her from falling was her connection with is hand. "Ahhh!" Sakura yelled as she was flying in the air for the short amount of time.
Sakura jumped on Syaoran when they landed on the roof, "Do you want to kill me or something?" Sakura yelled at him looking bellow her. Syaoran shook his head grabbed tight on her hand and started to jump the buildings trying to catch up to the fast figure, while Sakura was screaming behind him.
Two buildings away the figure stopped and a light evaporated as she suddenly was out of sight, leaving the yellow glowing part of the sealing. Sakura and Syaoran both socked with water jumped onto the next building as they leaned over the glowing part of the roof.
It was a puddle, with yellow light glowing from it. Syaoran put his hand into the water as his hand went through it feeling dry on the other end, as if it was a portal.
"I think it's a portal," Syaoran told her as he went to jump in.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked as she saw him getting ready.
"I'm going through the portal," He told her as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I guess I'm coming with you," She said a little frightened.
"Take my hand," Syaoran ordered.
"Why, I can go myself," She retorted.
"We don't know where it leads, just incase every time someone goes
through it they get sucked into a different demention, I think we should go
together." Sakura agreed and took his hand as they both jumped into water
together. Syaoran fell and hit stone hard ground as Sakura fell on top of him.
Syaoran pushed Sakura off him as he looked at the black figure near a volt.
The couple hid in a corner as the villain looked side to side for anyone watching her, all the cameras were broken and the only thing stopping her from what she was trying to get was the locked volt door.
She said a little enchantment under her breath as a portal appeared on the
volt door.
"Seems like portals are her specialty." Syaoran whispered to Sakura
who nodded her head in agreement. Sakura and Syaoran followed her steps and
went through her portal.
She must have heard them because once they stepped through the figure turned around. It was a girl who was dressed all in black. She had a traditional Chinese top on, with a mini skirt, and knee high black boots, witch had two mini knives in them, which she pulled out with her gloved hands, her face stone cold as her eyes glared at them through the black eye mask. Her hair tied up in a bun, her cape flowing down by her back.
"Leave!" She hissed at them. Her necklace that had a clear crystal diamond on it glowed. "Leave and I'll let you live," She told them.
Syaoran smirked at this comment, "Let me live, I should be telling you that," Sakura looked at him wide eyed, "you never told me you killed before!"
She was hopping he would deny it, say he hadn't, but that's the total opposite of what he did, "You never asked." He told her. "If you haven't noticed yet, I'm not your average day thief." The teen told them.
"And if you haven't noticed I'm not your average teenage boy." Syaoran commented.
Syaoran called for his sword as it appeared in his hands, she seemed a little surprised at first but hid it second glance. "I've been a thief for several years, and had to deal with worse then this kind of situation." She told them calmly.
"So have we," Syaoran commented, Sakura was still staring at him wide eyed.
'He's killed before?!?'
Lucky for them the cops arrived, the thief stuffed what she had stolen in her chest as she smiled at them and jumped off making another portal that sealed immediately with the rest as the flew off.
"Great we're trapped!" Syaoran yelled.
"Y-you've killed?" Sakura was able to stutter.
"Sakura, I can't believe you believed me I was only saying that to scare off that . . . thief." Syaoran explained.
"Oh," Sakura said exhaling a big amount of air she kept trapped in her chest.
"I would never be able to kill anyone," Syaoran reassured her.
They started to hear banging on the door as it was about to fling open. "We have to get out of here!" Sakura exclaimed. "Well, no! You think?" Syaoran said sarcastically.
"This is no time to play games Syaoran!" Sakura said taking out her wand and commanding the 'through' card to get them out of here.
But it didn't work instead a force field shot them back, as the door was beginning to open.
"We're doomed!" Sakura yelled after she tried several times to get through the walls.
The door started to give off light in the darkened room; Syaoran wrapped his arms around Sakura and mumbled a familiar enchantment and soon they found them selves on the roof of whatever they were in. But it wasn't much better; helicopters surrounded the buildings with lights shinning on Sakura and Syaoran.
Sakura called out the fly as wings spread out on Sakura and Syaoran, as they flew back to the hotel with the helicopters not far behind them, chasing their every move.
Syaoran tock out one of this enchantments as the through it into the air and called upon the element, as fire flew through, distracting the helicopters as they flew into their hotel safely. "That was close," Sakura said as the wings on the backs of her and Syaoran disappeared.
"Let's just go to sleep," Syaoran said as he tock a few blankets and pillows to the couch in their room. "What are you doing?" Sakura asked hotly. "To the couch to sleep, unless you want me to stay up all night," Syaoran said in a grumpy mood.
Sakura tock the stuff from Syaoran hastily and told him, "I'll take the couch, you take the bed."
"No, I'm sleeping on the couch and you're sleeping on the bed." He grabbed back the sleeping stuff.
He was about to walk off, when Sakura grabbed his hand and said in a deadly tone, "If you're going to sleep on the couch then I'm sleeping on the floor,"
"No, you're going to sleep in the bed." Syaoran commanded.
"No I'm not, you are!" Sakura retorted.
"This is going no where," Syaoran commented.
"Exactly, so I get the couch." Sakura said grabbing the supplied and heading off to the couch.
Syaoran grabbed the sheets off the bed and a pillow and followed her. "What are you doing?" Sakura asked as she was cuddled in her couch. "I'm sleeping on the floor," He said frankly.
"No, we have a bed and I insist that you use it." Sakura told him.
Syaoran didn't listen to her as he closed his eyes as he lay on the floor. Sakura grumbled and tucked herself in her couch.
Sakura woke up and groaned as her eyes could barley move. When she finally got adjusted to the room, she started to realize that something gave off warmth to her stomach, she lifted the covers slightly and saw that one of Syaoran's arms were tightly wrapped around her waist.
She blushed madly. 'I though I slept on the couch!'
She tried to carefully remove his arm from her, but as I said, it was tightly wrapped around her waist.
'Should I wake him up?' Sakura asked herself as she stared at Syaoran's peaceful sleeping form.
There was a knock on the door, "Come on you lazy heads get up! I want to go to the park!" Meiling yelled from out side the door.
"Come on!" Sakura heard her scream, as she started to bang on the door madly.
Syaoran being the light sleeper he is woke up almost immediately, only to fall on top if Sakura.
Both blushed madly as Syaoran stumbled trying to get
off her.
He went to the door and opened it to reveal a fuming Meiling.
"What are you still doing in those clothes!?" Meiling yelled furiously at the couple.
"Get dressed! We're going to the mall!" She ordered, Sakura and Syaoran quickly scrambled around to get dressed.
"No we're going to the beach," Chiharu protested from the door.
"Mall!" Mailing shot back at her.
"Let's vote," Tomoyo suggested stopping the two from getting physical.
"Who wants to go to the mall!?" Mailing yelled as she raised her hand along with Tomoyo Xylo, Alyana, Chine, Naoko, and Rika.
"Rika! Naoko!" Chiharu said with a pleading look at her friends.
"Sorry Chi, I really need a new horror book to read," Naoko said apologetically.
"And I seriously need new clothes; I can't walk around here in sweaters!" Rika protested.
"Fine," she mumbled then said, "Who wants to go to the beach!?" As she raised her hand along with all the guys.
"It's a tie," Chiharu and Meiling said sadly in union, just then Sakura and Syaoran came out ready.
"Quick, mall or beach!" Meiling cheered.
"Hum well I haven't been shopping for a while, but I would like to go to the beach, what do you think Syaoran?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know I'm not the greatest fan of the malls," he said as an image of him carrying all his sisters' bags after their shopping spree popped into his head.
His face crumpled up into a disgusted look, "I vote for—" As if like reading his mind Meiling gave him the don't-you-dare-disagree-with-me-look.
"Shopping," Syaoran squeaked out.
Everyone looked at him weirdly. "Come one Sakura your turn, the beach is great here in Florida!" Chiharu tried to get Sakura on her side.
"Well . . ." Sakura thought.
"Oh Sakura I need to get you new clothes to tape you in, and how can I make you clothes if I don't have fabric!?" Tomoyo said franticly.
Sakura sweat dropped, "Tomoyo didn't you bring fabric with you?"
"Of course I did, but its Japanese fabric, I want Florida fabric!" She said with stars in her eyes.
"Okay I go with mall, only if we go to the beach right after!" Sakura said. Meiling and Tomoyo gave each other high fives, as Chiharu, and all the other beach loving people, or should I say mall hating people grunted.
The headed towards the doors of the hotel, and once they opened the door they were greeted with the humid air of the outside, along with the dry sand and the cool water.
"Hey wasn't there just a heavy storm yesterday?" Rika asked.
"Ya, but in Florida everything dries up quickly," Chiharu explained.
"Did you know that Florida was first found by the UgaMabas' who—" Chiharu stared to choke Takashi, "STOP LYING!"
The group laughed and headed towards the mall. "Wow it's huge!" Sakura said as she looked around. They were shopping for hours till they came across a store that had a beautiful delicate bracelet on display. Meiling dug into her pocket as if on instinct, but it was empty. "No!" Meiling said then turned to Syaoran, "No way am I giving you my money!" Syaoran argued.
"It's so beautiful," Sakura said as she watched it glister in the light of the mall. It was a silver chained bracelet that had clear crystals in the form of a peony and a cherry blossom flower intertwined together. "Then go by it Sakura," Rika said.
"Oh how I wish I could, but I don't have enough money to," Sakura said sadly. The group started to head off to another store, but Syaoran stayed in place, and looked at the bracelet, then at Sakura.
Sakura turned around, "Syaoran aren't you coming?" She asked him. "Ya just give me a second," he said back as Sakura shrugged her shoulders and turned around.
Syaoran raced into the store and ran to the sales lady, "How much is that item on display?" "Ah a pretty one isn't it?" He said as he walked up to the display item.
"$100, 000.00," He said bringing it to the counter. "Um okay . . ." Syaoran looked at the amount of money he was given that was changed into American money. "Not from around here are you?" He asked.
"How'd you know?"
"Well you can't seem to figure how to use that lot of cash you have there, and you have a weird accent." The salesman explained. Syaoran finally figured out what was what and bought the bracelet. "I'm sire your girlfriend will love it," the man said.
Syaoran turned beat red, "Um it's not exactly for my girlfriend, just for a friend," Syaoran explained as the man finished wrapping it up and handed it to him. "Ah, women problems?" The man asked.
"Um, ya" Syaoran said as he raced out the store.
'What a weird guy . . .'
"Where were you?" Meiling asked as they were exiting the mall, after Syaoran caught up with them.
"Just had to get something," Syaoran explained.
Meiling gave him a weird look, but shrugged it off.
"Okay lets quickly get 'home' change and then go to the beach!" Sakura cheered, as the bags she was carrying weighted her down.
They rushed to their rooms to get ready.
Sakura was about to run into her room with the clothes, but Syaoran grabbed her hand. "What is it?" Sakura asked as Syaoran raced his hand through his already messy hair.
Syaoran duh into his pocket and took out a bag, and shoved it into Sakura's arms, he then headed towards the bathroom, he called out to her, "I know how badly you wanted it."
Sakura opened the bag to find a small box; she headed towards her room, and opened it.
She gasped, inside was the bracelet she saw on display at the mall. She ran outside and yelled right in front of the bath room, "Arigato, Syaoran-kun!"
She ran back into the room, and got ready, she then walked up to her present and attached it to herself, she out stretched her hand and glazed at it.
"Come on Sakura, we got to go, the others are waiting for us!" Syaoran called out to her. Sakura grabbed her towel quickly and ran out to meet him, forgetting that she still had the expensive bracelet on. As it was hidden under the towel for no one to see.
"Okay let's go!" Sakura said happily as she and Syaoran walked out to meet their friends. "I though you guys would never come!" Meiling said sarcastically, as she started towards the beach. They lay down their blankets and the girls lay on them as the guys headed for the water.
After an hour or so the girl decided to join them, after a while they sat back on the towels that awaited them.
"I want to walk, anyone with me?" Sakura asked. "Sure I'll go," Tomoyo said, as Meiling, Syaoran, Hitaji, Xylo, Alyana, and Toriji got up with her. "Isn't it just beautiful out here?" Sakura asked as she turned around walking backwards, so that she was facing her friends.
"Ya I guess," Xylo said looking at the sky.
"Sakura watch out!" Tomoyo yelled as she fell over a girl that was hunched over something on the floor. Sakura fell on her but as she got up with the help of her friends. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Sakura said in English.
The girl got up, well more like teen, she was at least two years older then them.
She flicked her light brown hair, which had hints of dirty blonde in them, and pink streaks. Hey eyes were a misty kind of grayish blue. She wore a gray belly top, and short blue short jeans. "It's okay," She replied in Japanese.
Sakura smiled always willing to make new friends, "I'm Kinomoto, Sakura, and these are my friends," They introduced themselves one by one, ad bowed. "I'm Zhang, Yuri," She told them bowing as well.
"We're here on a prize that we won from our school challenge," Toriji explained.
She seemed bored by their presence, but the amber eyes boy, what was his name . . . Li, was something else.
But he didn't seem to think much of her, seeing as they way he was glaring at her. Sakura caught her glaze and explained, "Syaoran is never friendly with people, glaring is kind of his acceptance for you." Sakura moved some strands of loose hair behind her ear, and Yuri found a sparkle that the light reflected of her wrist.
She took her wrist in her hand, "this is beautiful," She breathed, her eyes flashing. Everyone crowded around to what she was looking at, "Hey isn't that the jewel we saw at that store?" Hitaji asked.
"Ya I though you said you didn't have enough money to buy it?" Meiling said.
"I . . . um, uh . . ." But her mumbling was interrupted, Xylo and Alyana's colors started to glow again. And Yuri's attention flicked to them. "Wow . . ." She said.
"Where did you get those!?" She asked her eyes sparkling and the lips curved into a smile.
'I'm surrounded by jewelry, it's like I've reached the ultimate jackpot!'
Syaoran glared at her, she was something different, something weird about her, she wasn't normal.
"We have to go," He heard himself say.
"We do?" Sakura asked.
"Yes we do, come on mina let's go," He said before walling off.
The rest soon followed, and Sakura turned around, and waved to Yuri, "Sayonara, Zhang-chan!"
"Call me Yuri!" She yelled back at her.
"Sayonara, Yuri-chan, hope to see you tomorrow!"
"I wouldn't miss it," She mumbled a wicked smile plastered on her face.
"She's nice," Sakura said as they were walking back to their 'home'.
"Who?" Rika asked.
"This girl Sakura bumbled into her name was like Zhang, Yuri or something," Meiling said.
"She's strange . . ." Syaoran said more to himself.
"How so?" Tomoyo asked.
"I don't know . . . she just is, it's hard to explain," he replied.
Sakura lay in her bed after a long argue of who will sleep on the sofa, she flicked her wrist above her. She watched as the moon light glistered on it.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of the police sirens, she got up and went to the window, soon Syaoran joined her looking outside, and they say that figure from the other night, that girl who almost got them arrested the other night.
"What do you think happened?" Sakura whispered as if her voice would wake up the hotel. "She obviously stole something," Syaoran replied rolling his eyes, Sakura glared at him. "I knew that!" She said.
"Then why did you asked that question?" He said smiling at her knowingly, and she blushed.
". . ."
"Thought so," he then turned to leave.
"See you in the morning." He closed the door and fell on his sofa, letting sleep corrupt him.
Sakura stretched her arms up above her, as her eyes fluttered open. "Sakura!" She heard Syaoran as he knocked on her door. "Hurry up and get ready, the rest of the group want to go out for breakfast, so get dressed!" With that he left.
Sakura got up and pulled on a white skirt, with a light pink tank top, she raced the brush through her hair quickly, put on her now lucky bracelet, and headed out.
"Wow look at this!" Naoko said with a mouth full of pancakes, that they were eating at a restaurant.
Everyone leaned over her shoulder to look at the picture, of a girl dressed all in black, then a ripped line and on the other side it showed two boys also wearing black, but in a different style, back to back.
Sakura and Syaoran automatically recognized the first figure; it was that thief they ran into at the bank two nights ago. "The competition begins . . ." Naoko started reading.
"The greatest thief in Florida, the Black Cheetah, is the new competitor against the great Ninja Thief Twins, two brothers that have been the greatest threat against all police forces around the world, ever since anyone can remember."
She continued to read the article on the front page, as Sakura and Syaoran drifted off into their thoughts, until once sentence brought them back.
". . . Last night an expensive diamond was stolen in the museum that had a greatest mystery behind it that is still to be solved."
"Wow, this is so cool," Rika said.
"Ya, it's like a rivalry going on between the two!" Toriji said leaning forward to the paper again.
"She's kind of cute," Hitaji said looking at the picture of the Back Cheetah.
"Ya, I guess she's kind of pretty, but I think of the Ninja Thief Twins, has a feminine look to him." Alyana said staring at the front page.
"I got it!" Chiharu and Rika yelled at the same time going to hit the volley ball, but ended up hitting each other. "Ow!" The said as they rubbed their heads. "Our ball!" Sakura cheered as Takashi through them the ball.
The group rotated, as necessary at the time, and Syaoran now had his turn to serve. He hit the ball as it flew across the volleyball field and into the bushes.
"I'll get it!" Sakura yelled out as she raced to the bushed to collect the volleyball, but she couldn't find it.
'I was sure it landed somewhere around here.'
"Looking for this?" a voice called from behind her. Sakura spun around to face a pair of misty grayish-blue eyes, holding a volleyball.
"Yuri-chan!" Sakura squealed.
"Hey Sakura," Yuri said as she handed her new friend the ball.
"Thanks," She said. "Hey you wan to come join us?" Sakura asked smiling widely at Yuri.
"Sure," she agreed as they walked off to the rest of the group. The ones who were unfamiliar with Yuri introduced them selves, and continued on with the game.
"This is kind of getting boring," Takashi stated as he served the ball.
"Got anything better to do?" Chiharu said as the ball came fast back towards their side and she aimed her fist at it. "How but we go skiing?" Yuri said with an idea. "Skiing? Yuri its summer there is no was we can go skiing." Sakura said cluelessly.
"Baka, she meant jet skiing," Syaoran explained.
"Oh," Sakura said just getting the idea, "HOE!" Everyone laughed and agreed to the challenge. "Two per Jet Ski," Yuri said, "Their aren't enough for all of us to have a separate one." She explained. Everyone hopped on a jet ski in pairs; ironically they were the same partners as in the room pairs.
Sakura was clutching her hands hard around Syaoran's waist, her eyes shut. "Come on Sakura it's not that bad," he said.
"Really?" Sakura asked as she opened her eyes, and Syaoran sped away at the highest speed. "AHHHHHHHH!!!! SYAORAN SLOW DOWN!!! I'M GOING TO FALL OVER AND DIE!!! AHHH!!!!" Sakura screamed as she shut her eyes tight again squeezing Syaoran harder.
Syaoran slowed down almost to a stop before gasping for air," Sakura! . . . Let . . . Go . . . Of . . . Me . . . I can't . . . breathe!"
"He, he, gomen," Sakura apologized.
The rest of the time Syaoran drove slowly gaining speed every now and then, before they were sailing fast with no problem.
"Want to try?" Syaoran asked. "Hoe? Me?" She asked. "No, my invisible best friend," Syaoran said sarcastically. "Your best friend is invisible?" Sakura asked. "No silly I was being sarcastic," Syaoran told her. "Um, okay."
"So do you?" Syaoran asked. "Do I what?" Sakura asked.
"Want to drive this thing?" Syaoran explained again. "Um, okay . . ." Sakura said as the switched places, and Syaoran wrapped his arms around Sakura's slim waist, making her blush like a ripe red tomato.
"Come on Sakura it's not that hard, he said as he showed her how to use the Jet Ski. "Okay I think I got this!" Sakura said as she started to go really slow.
"Come on go faster, Syaoran said as he placed one of his hands over hers to crank up the speed. Sakura would have blushed if she had time to, but Syaoran made it go wildly fast.
Syaoran slipped his hand away from hers, leaving the cold breeze to cool her skin.
"Hey this isn't so bad," Sakura said. Just then a Jet Ski crashed into theirs, as both victims toppled over into the water.
"I'm so sorry!" a girl said, she had light brown hair, with a tint of dirty blond which had red streaks all over, that was tied into a pony tail filled with braids that ended at her waist.
"It's okay," Sakura said, as she moved
over to her ski, where Syaoran had already gotten on, and was helping her up.
"Wow! Is that your boyfriend?!" The
girl asked surprised.
The couple blushed, "He is so damn hot!" he girl said, obviously
a year or two younger then them. "Um, we're
just friends," Syaoran told the girl.
"Really?" She said sparkles in her eyes, but by his stern look she could tell he didn't like her, but the way he looked at the emerald eyed girl she could tell that he felt something for her.
'I could get them together!' the idea played in the girls mind as she pondered on the thought.
"I'm Yumei Kimote," She said greeting them with a bow.
"Wow, what a beautiful name, and you're so pretty, I bet you have a beautiful mother.
"I did, but she died along with the rest of my family," Yumei's eyes saddened.
"Oh, I'm sorry; we know how it feels to loose family members, my mother died when I was 3, and Syaoran's father died when he was young as well." Sakura explained.
"You're too friendly with strangers Sakura," Syaoran said shaking his head.
"I'm Sakura Kinomoto, and this is Syaoran Li," She greeted.
"He glares a lot," She said finally, smiling at the amber eyed boy, making him blush.
"Yumei!" a girls call was faintly heard.
"I'm over here Miyho!" Yumei called out.
A Jet Ski appeared in front of them, it had a girl with short orangey reddish kind of hair, just below her shoulders. And on her neck was a similar grey collar, with a misty grayish crystal in the middle.
"This is my best friend Miyho Kagmita, well she's actually my only friend, since I never really get time or a chance to meet anyone out of the orphanage, they're all so mean there, except for Miyho-chan," Yumei explained.
"Ohigho," she greeted.
"We're originally Japanese, she said–"
"Good morning," Sakura, and Syaoran cut her off.
"Hai, you must be Japanese too!" She squealed.
"I am, Syao-chan isn't." Sakura explained.
"Would you mind being our friends, since we don't have many," Yumei asked, biting her lower lip, something Sakura also did constantly.
"Whatever," Syaoran said, as he watched Miyho help Yumei on to their Jet Ski.
"Come on!" Sakura called out to them as Syaoran was in control of the ski again with her arms tied around his waist. "Come meet the rest of the group!" she called out as they came speeding after them.
The group introduced them selves to the new younger girls.
"Please pay no heed to whatever this liar says," Chiharu said after they finished introducing them selves. "Nothing he says is true," she told them.
Everyone sweat dropped. "Anyways," Sakura said. "Did you see the newspaper?!" Naoko squealed. "Oh, ya, oh my do you think that the two competitors might be having, you know affairs?" Miyho asked.
"No!" Yuri yelled.
"Wow, don't have to go get emotional!" Hitaji said.
"It's just that . . . I think one of the guys is cute," she lied.
"Ya, I think the tall one is cute!" Yumei said dreamily.
"He's okay," Rika said.
"Much better then Takashi!" Chiharu stated.
"I've seen better," Naoko said.
"Well, I don't really like his nose, it seems to perfect, so do his eyes." Meiling said.
"Hot, defiantly!" Xylo said.
"Way cute," Alyana agreed.
"What do you think Sakura?" Yumei asked, with a knowing glance.
Tomoyo and Meiling were already starting to like this girl.
"Um . . ."
"Sakura seems to have already found her man," Meiling said, as she gave a high five to Tomoyo and Yumei.
Sakura blushed madly, while Syaoran didn't quite get it, "Who?" Everyone fell down anime style.
"Wow, I think Syaoran and Sakura share the same brain, they are so dense!" Toriji said laughing with tears in his eyes.
"I resent that!" Syaoran complained.
"Stop pouting cousin that is not going to change our minds." Sakura tapped her head, "how can we share the same mind?"
Everyone laughed harder, "Hey!" Sakura yelled. "That's not funny!"
Miyho came close to Sakura to pat her back, but her collar started to glow, along with Alyana, and Xylo's collars.
What was happening?
"Ja ne!" Sakura called out to her new friends as they split to go home.
"Sayonara guys!" Yumei, Miyho, and Yuri call out.
They walked to their hotel and everyone fell asleep in their rooms, except for Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Meiling.
"That is so cool!" Tomoyo said, "I wish I could have taped it!" She said sadly.
"Do you think she'll strike tonight?" Meiling asked.
"I don't know, but let's find out," Syaoran stated.
"Ohohohoohohoh!!! And I got the perfect outfits for you guys to wear!" Tomoyo said star eyed.
Everyone sweat drops.
After the long amount of changing, Meiling found herself in a traditional Chinese red min dress that ended at her thigh. With it she wore knee high crimson red boots, and gloves. Tomoyo wanted to put her hair down, but Meiling protested, so Tomoyo left it with a very complicated, put pretty bun, which let a few stands loose.
Syaoran wore a dark green traditional Chinese costume with way to long sleeves, and dark green pants. He had on dark green gloves on, and in the middle of his traditional top was a moon with a wolf inside it.
Sakura's costume was almost identical to Syaoran's except hers was pink, with a yellow star inside her top; she had a passion pink gloves, and knee high boots. With a pink mini skirt. Her hair was in two buns tied with green ribbons with loose strands here and there.
"Let's go," Sakura said.
