Summery: She didn't fit in w/ the other angels. He didn't fit in w/ the other demons. Can they fit in w/ each other on Earth? But theres a problem. What if they NEVER get the chance?
~* Story *~
Sakura Japan ~~~*~~~*~~~
" So where are we going?" asked a very clueless Sakura because she had zoned out again thinking about Dillon. ' I need to stop thinking about him; I need to concentrate on what Mei Lin is going on about. Did she say we were going to China?'
"Sakura please try to stay focused!" Mei Lin said in a harsh tone. This was the third time she had to repeat herself. ' What has gotten into Sakura? This Dillon guy must be really amazing. Hehehe I know Chase definitely is.' She looked over at Tomoyo who was now rolling in the floor she was laughing so hard. "What's your problem?" she asked in an annoyed voice.
"Oh nothing, just young love!" Tomoyo got out between the laughter.
"Oh please!" Sakura and Mei Lin said together. Then looked at each other and began laughing too.
After several minutes of nonstop laughing Tomoyo was the first to regain her composure. " Come on guys, do we really want to go all the way to China for some party?" she asked with amusement.
"Tell me about this party again," Sakura asked in a small voice. " I kind of missed it the first time you explained it."
"And the second and the third." Mei Lin added in for her. Sakura simply stuck her tongue at Mei Lin, who just laughed.
"Ok guys, stop acting like children." Tomoyo said before anyone could say anything else. " The party is being thrown by Chris, he is friend of Mei Lin's, they grew up together or something when she lived in China, right?" she looked at Mei Lin who nodded her head.
"Yep we were always best friends until I moved here. Tomoyo you met him that time he came to visit like a year after I moved here, remember?" answered Mei Lin with a smile on her face. " You should have seen us at school." She said with a laugh.
"I feel sorry for the teachers." Sakura murmured just load enough for Mei Lin to hear her. Which of course earned her a pillow thrown at her head from Mei Lin who was sitting on the couch in their living room.
"I heard that!" Mei Lin said with a content smile on her face after the pillow hit Sakura square in the face.
"As I was saying," Tomoyo shouted to get their attention once again. Once they were both looking at her she continued, " He said his friend lost his serious girlfriend a couple of months again in an accident and he wants to cheer him up."
"Awww that's so sad." Sakura cut in. She hated it when anyone lost someone they loved. She was a happy person and liked to see the people around her happy. It was part of her that had come back once she had gotten to earth and met Tomoyo and Mei Lin, they made her truly happy. A happy she hadn't experienced in years in Haven.
" Yea it is but try not to talk about that because it brings up bad memories ok?" Mei Lin said to Sakura. She knew how she was and didn't want her going up to the poor guy and bringing up bad news at the party were he was trying to forget about the chick.
" But anyways this is no ordinary party or we probably wouldn't make the trip because there are plenty of those here" Tomoyo said with a glint in her eyes. " There will be plenty of stuff to do there," she paused she could tell that got Sakura's attention and Mei Lin laughed at Sakura's sudden interest. " There will be all kind of competitions and of course just a little racing." She said before Sakura jumped in.
"Racing! We have to go! I need some new competition! Oh this is going to be so much fun." Sakura said as she danced around the living room.
" And there will be a championship race at midnight and the best get prize money that will be collected through bets and stuff like that." Mei Lin stated like it was nothing but knew that Sakura would go crazy knowing that she could make some money on this little trip.
"OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS? THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!" Sakura was shouting happily. ' I can't wait to kick some guys ass! I'm the best racer in Japan and now I'll be the best in China too.'
"OK CHILL SAKURA!" Mei Lin said trying to get her to come back down to earth.
"Oh sorry guys. I just can't wait when do we leave?" she asked clearly excited to go. " Oh wait can we bring the guys with us?" she asked remembering Dillon and the others. " I know it wouldn't be as fun with out them!" she pleaded.
"Yea they can come I guess." Tomoyo shrugged and looked at Mei Lin who seemed to agree. "I can't wait to tell him he'll be so excited." Sakura said as she ran off to call her lover boy. She had been going out with him for a few weeks now. Tomoyo, Eriol, Mei Lin, Chase and Dillon and her had gone out a lot and everyone seemed to like both Chase and Dillon so that was a good thing. "Oh guys when is the party?" Sakura asked as she stuck her head out of her room.
"Well its Friday so I guess we'll leave tomorrow morning so we have a day to get settled and we have to ship your car right?" Mei Lin answered thinking about all the stuff they would have to take care of before they left. " Oh and we're going to stay about a week to check out Hong Kong, there's a couple of clubs and stuff I want to check out while we are there."
"Cool! This is going to be so much fun!" Sakura said before she disappeared back into her room and closed the door.
After they heard the door shut Tomoyo turned to Mei Lin with a serious expression on her face. "I know there is more to this party than your telling me."
Mei Lin nodded, " Well Chris just happens to be best friends with the guy they call ' Little Wolf'." She looked at Tomoyo's face and knew that she had heard of him. "Well that's the guy the party's for."
"Are you crazy? You know he is part of every major gang in Hon Kong. And we are supposed to go there and hang out when every gang in China is going to be there, some of which will probably try to start something?" Tomoyo said a little freaked that Mei Lin was being so calm about this.
"Calm down, we aren't in or part of any gangs remember?" Tomoyo started to say something but Mei Lin continued as if she didn't hear her. " Well yes there will probably be people there who want to start something but this guy knows people who will back him up and we aren't weak little girls if you remember?" she asked knowing Tomoyo hated people especially guys who looked at them and thought that because they looked like sweet innocent girls that they didn't know anything and were perfect targets to take advantage of.
"Well if you think it will be ok then I guess it will be." She answered eyeing Mei Lin. " Answer me something."
" Shoot." Mei Lin said having a pretty good idea of what she was going to ask.
" You were there when Ashley dies, weren't you? You knew her and that guy, what's his name? Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked but the way Mei Lin tensed up she knew she was right.
"Yea I was there. Remember that week I left to go home well that's when it happened. Ashley grew up with Chris and me but I didn't know the guy. All I know is he really really loved her. God it was so horrible." Mei Lin said as a tear ran down her cheek.
"Tell me what happened. I know I heard what happened from a million different people but I want to know how it really went down." Tomoyo said. She knew Mei Lin had been there by the way she acted when she got back from China. Sakura had been away in some drag racing thing ' God that girl was obsessed with racing.' First it was bikes but then she tried everything from jet skis to finally settling on cars. And she learned to be the best. She was like a little sister to Mei Lin and her. And that had her a little worried because she had heard that Ashley had been killed in a drag racing accident or something.
"Well it was a huge party and everyone was having a good time," Mei Lin paused to pull all the details together from that night. "It was time for the big finally and everyone gathered around the track. And I knew Ashley was pretty good at drag racing and all but I don't know. Well apparently this Syaoran guy got challenged but some guy, I never found out who it was, we'll I found out afterward the guy had been Ashley's old boyfriend and was pissed that Ashley had left him. Well Ashley volunteered to race for Syaoran you know to like prove to the guy that she loved Syaoran and no one else. We'll it was all fine and the race was going great and then on the final turn her car just blew up. She was going to win and then the car just, just, " Mei Lin started to cry and couldn't continue.
"It's ok, it's ok." Tomoyo tried to sooth Mei Lin, they we're rocking back and forth on the couch.
"OMG! It's not ok! We can't go! Sakura! What if someone messes with her car? NO NO NO! We can't go! I'd die if anything happened to her!" Mei Lin said in between tears.
"Mei Lin nothing will happen. That's in the past I'm sure everything will be fine. Just think of how excited Sakura is about all this," Tomoyo tried to clam her down. She knew that in her heart she was thinking the same thing but they had never ran away from anything and weren't going to start now. " We'll take some people with us, and Sakura always checks her car remember?"
"Your right. What was I thinking? I'm sorry for breaking down like that, it's just I never talked about it before." Mei Lin said drying the tears that still rolled down her face.
" It's ok. I understand. And I'm sure we can find some people to come with us ok?" Tomoyo said still hugging Mei Lin as she pulled her self together.
"We'll make sure nothing goes wrong. This will be the best time for Sakura. She's so happy about it and I'm going to make sure she has the time of her life." Mei Lin said as she got off the couch. " We have a lot of things to get ready before we leave tomorrow."
"I'm on it." Tomoyo said as she grabbed her cell phone and dialed Ray's number.
"Hello, Ray speaking." Came the voice on the other end.
"Hey Ray, it's Tomoyo. I have a favor I need to ask you."
Syaoran China ~~~*~~~*~~~
" Chris I meant a small party," Syaoran said as he watched another liquor truck pulled into the gate. " Well now it's going to be a huge party with all the good stuff that includes." Chris said as he showed the men where to unload.
"Oh by the way, I'm sorry it took so long to plan but if we are going to have a party it's got to be big." Chris said as he walked up to Syaoran.
"How many people are we talking about here?" Syaoran asked his so called friend. Right then he didn't know if he should thank him or kill him.
"Everyone who's anyone." Was all he said before he went off to show some guys who had showed up carrying stereo equipment.
He walked to his room and slammed the door then flopped down on his enormous king size bed. This was going to be a big party all right. ' I just hope nothing happens like the last party Chris planned' which ended with a funeral. 'Who knows maybe this is just what I need. I haven't been racing since the accident. Hopefully it will get my mind of Ashley for a while.'
He got up and decided to go test out his new car that he had gotten a few weeks a go but had never taken it out of the garage.
After a few laps around the course he thought to himself, ' I still have it.' he laughed and did a few spins to test out all the limits of the car.
Chris watched from the window of the house. ' This party is just what he needs to come out of his shell and get back to the old Syaoran.' Sure he would go to parties and well he had been with a lot of girls but they were only one-night stands and never meant anything to him. He had been distant and Chris couldn't take seeing his friend like that anymore. He laughed watching Syaoran spin out in his new car. ' This is definitely what the doctor ordered. ' Then he turned to go and help the people finish setting up for tomorrow night.
