As her eyes studied him, the man who broke Sakura's heart, his amber eyes
did his fair share, evaluating her. His eyebrow twitched, as if questioning
her. When she made eye contact, she stared at him, challenging him to voice
out his feelings. When he did, his words were harsh. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU
DO?"
Syaoran stared at her. She looked so evil. Her gaze bored into his eyes, with the 'I hate you' look. Her once shining emerald eyes were now dull and rebellious. Her lips twisted into a cynical smile. "Do you like what you see?"
"Bloody hell NO!" Syaoran yelled. "Tomoyo! You shouldn't have bought this for her!"
"Excuse me?" Tomoyo looked at him bewildered. "Since when was buying a wonderful, punk-like attire my fault?" She tossed her head at Sakura's direction. "Anyway, for your information. This is Ying Fa and I believe that this fashion style suit her just fine!"
'No!' was all Syaoran could think as he studied her. The black polyester tube was partly hidden by the leather jacket of a similar colour. The mini skirt enhanced her long slim legs and the two inches high heels added on to her height. She wore a dangling silver earring that reached half of her neck. As he continued staring, she wore her sunshades, that hid her eyes from him, and yet, it added style and class. The only problem, the girl in front of him is no longer Sakura, but rather, Ying Fa.
"Let's go Tomoyo. I think you will spend a long time in the shopping center won't you? Let's get moving." Ying Fa started pulling Tomoyo along.
"Wait! How about Eriol?"
"He will meet us at the shopping center. LI!!! Let's go!" Ying Fa gritted her teeth and started moving.
Tomoyo shot him a helpless look and followed Ying Fa, leaving Syaoran perplexed and confused. 'This is so no good!'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
"Tomoyo dear, I finally found you." Eriol breathlessly caught up with them when they entered the shopping center.
"Yeah. Whatever." Tomoyo said in a huffed and continued walking.
"Hey!" Eriol chased up again and wrapped his hands around her waist, forcing Tomoyo to stop. He snuggled his face at the side of her face. "Miss me?"
"Highly unlikely." Tomoyo answered irritably. The hurt from the earlier accusation had not subsided.
"Tomoyo dear." Eriol kissed the side of her neck. "Don't be mad at me." He turned her around, so that he could look into her eyes that were filled with sadness. "I'm sorry. Sorry for saying things that I didn't mean. I was so worried for Sakura. But I was wrong to vent my anger on you."
Tomoyo sighed and shook her head. "I understand. I was petty to be mad at you."
"No, it was my fault. You still love me?" Eriol whispered as he inched closer to Tomoyo.
"How could I not?" Tomoyo smiled and anticipated for the kiss.
"TOMOYO! QUIT NECKING AND GET YOUR BUTT HERE!!!" Ying Fa shouted.
Tomoyo and Eriol jumped away from each other and blushed furiously. "Coming Ying Fa!" She shouted back, and was about to run off when Eriol grabbed her hand.
"Ying Fa?" He asked, confused. "I thought that was Sakura."
Tomoyo hesitated for a moment before replying. "Sakura no longer existed. Ying Fa has taken over Sakura."
"What happened to her?" Eriol couldn't piece the information together.
"Another time. I don't want to ruin the day for Ying Fa. It's her birthday. Remember?"
"Yeah, I do." Eriol recalled Y ue's pled.
--- Flashback---
"Clow Reed!" Yue called out as Eriol started walking away again. When he turned around, Yue continued, struggling to get the words out. "Don't do this to Mistress. Please." He searched for the right words to say, " Please, I beg you. Don't give her this kind of birthday present."
--- End Flashback---
"Sorry Yue." He muttered under his breath as he watched the two girls walked away. "I have to do this for everyone's own good.
"What do you have to do for everyone's own good?" Syaoran asked. Eriol was taken by surprise how silent Syaoran approached him, or was it that he was too absorbed in his thoughts not to notice him. Either way, he cannot tell Syaoran the truth.
"Nothing. It just that I need to go get something for myself, yes, the CD I was eyeing on for weeks. I have enough money to buy it now. Want to come along?"
"Hmm, no thanks. I need to talk to Sak... no; I need to talk to Ying Fa. Meet you at the fountain in three hours time."
"Sure." Eriol smiled and adjusted his glasses. 'Just enough time to carry out my plans.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
"What a great trip today!" Tomoyo heaved in relief as she sat down at McDonalds. "My poor feet are aching!"
"You are telling me your feet are aching!" Ying Fa rolled her eyes, tempted to strangle the girl in front of her. "I was the one trying out all your clothes that you gave me. And to my horror, you even bought $1000 worth of goods for me to carry around!"
"Hey, that's nothing. Last time, Sakura and I could shop till $5000." Tomoyo brushed the comment aside. She was pleased with the shopping expedition. It kind of settled Ying Fa's wardrobe problem. The clothes although are not the type that a rebel like Ying Fa would prefer. However, it is suitable for Ying Fa's as well as Sakura's taste. Tomoyo was still hoping by miracle that Sakura would come back. In any case, she made the best out of the situation and was glad to find out that Ying Fa was not a bad shopping buddy after all.
"Tomoyo! Stop daydreaming! Eriol is here to talk to you." Sakura snapped her fingers in front of her face to catch her attention. "I will be going to the music store to see what better CDs I can get for myself instead of listening to Britney Spears and Hillary Duff every single minute!"
Eriol watched Ying Fa walked off, pleased with her decision. He needed Tomoyo's approval of what he intended to do to Syaoran. Although he thought that it's a good plan, it is not worth receiving her wrath when she finds out, not after the things that he said to Tomoyo greatly upset her. What he didn't expect was what Tomoyo said after he finished sharing with her his plan.
"You know, it reminds me of her dream that she had last time."
"What dream?" Eriol panicked
Tomoyo related the whole dream and shivers ran down his spine. 'That was what I am going to do!' He shook his head. There was no way she can predict such events, when he only conjured with it only a few hours ago, unless he had underestimated her magic ability. However, he has ways and means to deal with this little setback.
"What do you think?" Eriol asked.
"I don't like it!" Tomoyo replied back.
"If it brings back Sakura, will you approve it?"
Tomoyo hesitated for a moment. This will ultimately cause pain to her friend, in the short run. If the plan pulls through, everyone will be at the receiving end.
"If it brings Sakura back, then it is worth a shot."
Eriol smiled and cupped her face in his hands. He gave her a piercing stare and leaned forward and lightly feathered kisses on her eyes, nose and finally capturing her mouth. 'What ever I said to you and memories of the dream will be forgotten and I will take control of your heart.' Eriol silently cast a spell on her before realizing the last part of the sentence. He cursed inwardly. He cannot imagine that the sense of possessiveness can take control of him at such a critical moment.
"Eriol?" Tomoyo said absently mindedly when she realized that her sweetheart had stop kissing her.
Eriol shook his head and glanced at her. He gave a reassuring smile and gave a kiss on her cheek. "Everything will be alright my love. Have faith in me." He glanced at the shopping bags. "I take this with me. I meet you at the main entrance. Go and find Ying Fa. I think we have to make our way home."
Tomoyo nodded and started leaving. However, she bent down and nibbled Eriol's ear and whispered something to him that made him grinned with joy. When she was gone, he muttered back. "I love you too."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Syaoran cursed as he walked around the shopping center. First, he spent so much time finding Tomoyo and Ying Fa to discover that they were shopping for clothes in MNG. Much to his dismay, his efforts were wasted as Tomoyo refused to allow him to talk to her at all.
"Tomoyo. Please, let me talk to her." Syaoran begged.
"NO! Today is her birthday. I am not going to let you upset her!" Tomoyo fiercely bit back, like a tigress guarding her cubs.
"A minute will do."
"I won't even spare you one second!" Tomoyo lashed back.
As much as he wanted to continue fighting, he knew how to bid his time. He will corner her later when the tigress is away. For now, he had to roam around the shopping center for another two hours. Without any choice, he decided to go to the arcade to kill time.
As he sat down to start playing Guilty Gear X, he suddenly felt tension radiating from behind. A moment later, he realized he was in deep shit. Taking a deep breath, he faced a fuming man who was radiating his aura that he recognized so well.
"Touya. What do you want to do to me?" Syaoran started at him coolly while his heart beat furiously.
"Well, how about your life!" Touya lifted him up from his seat and slammed him on the wall.
