Chapter 3: Guess Again

"You two!" A high pitched voice screeched, revealing a fuming Sakura before Tomoyo and Eriol. The two were previously discussing whether or not it was a good idea to try and get Syaoran and Sakura back together. Apparently, it was the latter.

"Hello Sakura-chan. Are you enjoying your sleeping location?" The all too sly Tomoyo asked with a smirk donned upon her face. With a low growl in her throat, Sakura stealthily took a few steps toward her beloved cousin before she launched herself onto Tomoyo, knocking her down, making the motion to strangle her with one hand, pounding the delicate woman's arm with the other.

"Sakura! Relax!" Eriol cried as he pried Sakura's grip off of Tomoyo as he held her in place, her arms tied behind her back by Eriol's.

"Oh, don't even think you're getting away with this either Mr. Eriol Hiiragizawa!" Sakura yelled once more as she elbowed him in the stomach, making him fall to the floor in surprise. Sakura stood between the two the were lying on the floor, both in pain, as Sakura held a satisfied and triumphant smirk of her own on her face. She gave a quick but harsh glare to the two sprawled on the floor before she stomped from their room, slamming the door behind her. The moment the door was shut the two shot up, one with a bright smile, the other with a smirk, for a plan had already formed in this one's mind.

"This is going to be so kawaii!" Tomoyo exclaimed getting into her starry-eyed stage, her hands clasped before her in an extremely childish manner.

"Yes, yes. But we need to make it so Sakura gets scared so Syaoran will hug her and she won't resist him. How on earth will we be able to do that?" Eriol pondered, his index finger placed on the tip of his chin. The two stood in their positions before simultaneously, the two's eyes widened and slowly turned their heads to one another with their infamous smirks on their faces.

..Syaoran's Room..

Sakura muttered many curses in all the languages she knew, a total of twelve, as she unpacked her things she would need for the night. As she took out her pajamas, hair brush and toothbrush, she heard someone enter the room.

"That excited to sleep in the same room as me I see," said the man from the doorway with a smirk.

"Why don't you shut the hell up before I break your jaw," Sakura retorted with a fake sweet smile. As she made her way to the washroom, she felt Syaoran's gaze upon her back, so she glared at him once more before slamming the door behind her. Syaoran's smirk merely widened as he took off his pants and top lying down on the bed, reading his novel. When Sakura came out, she was dressed in a tank top and really short shorts, her hair up into a bun.

"Y-you aren't actually going to get into bed like that are you?" Asked Syaoran, now extremely terrified for his well being. If she were dressed like that… who knew what kind of things he would tempted to do to her?!

"Hmm… I wonder. There must be a reason why I got out of my jeans," Sakura remarked sarcastically rolling her eyes. She stretched on her way to the left side of the green covered bed, while Syaoran just watched her. "Stop drooling."

"You know you would be doing the same to me if you actually had the guts to look," Syaoran shot at her as her head snapped to him. She slowly looked him up and down then yawned.

"Go to hell," was all she could say, allowing her head to drop onto the pillow.

"Only if you come with me baby," he whispered into her ear. While she was still cursing him under her breath, he had crawled over, draping a muscular arm around her body, pulling her directly behind him.

"Ugh! Get off me!" Sakura screeched as she elbowed the unexpecting Syaoran in the stomach. "I swear to God Li Syaoran! If you even think about doing that one more time, I'm going to strangle you!"
"Well actually… I did think about doing it again. Doing that and a few other things," Syaoran told her with a wolfish grin. Sakura's normal emerald green eyes changed to a dark jade and with a low cry, she launched herself on Syaoran, doing what she said she would; strangle him.

"Sakura! Get a grip!" Tomoyo cried, as she and Eriol pried her off of him. When they heard Sakura start to scream, they rushed over to where she would be trying to get some sleep if it were kind enough to come tonight, knowing the aftermath wouldn't be pretty.

"Let me at the disgusting pig! I'm going to kill him!" Sakura screeched as Tomoyo hauled her away, shooting Eriol and apologetic glance.

"Looks like it's you and me tonight buddy," Eriol sighed, hitting him on the head. "You get the floor."

"Me?!" Syaoran cried in protest.

"Hey… I finally had a good excuse to hug Tomoyo while we slept, and you took that away from me," the angered Eriol muttered as he threw one of the many blankets and pillows onto the ground so Syaoran could make a bed for himself. Mumbling, the boys went to sleep, turning off the lights. One, knowing that there was no point, for he would simply wake up in that horrid cold sweat.

..Sakura..

"Tomoyo! Just let me kill him!" Sakura whined as she sat on the bed she and Tomoyo would be sharing.

"No Sakura. Can't see what's happening here?" Tomoyo asked sighing. She figured this was the only way to make her act civil towards him. Tomoyo knew she was bound to tell her cousin sooner or later. To both her and Eriol, it was always quite funny seeing the "kawaiiest couple God ever created" fight, or bicker, or murder one another, or the best one of all… get even.

"Hoe?" Asked the ever-so dense Sakura. She may have aged and received more experience when it came to men, but usually, she was the last one to notice when people were toying with her unless she was in every way doing it to them as well.

"He's purposely making you mad Sakura! He knows that with the smallest remarks you're going to get pissed off, so he's making you retaliate," Tomoyo replied. Sakura went dot eyed for a moment, processing the comment Tomoyo had made, before her face was once more filled with fury, red with anger.

"Well, two can play at that game!" She cried angrily. She threw herself onto one side of the bed, the sheets and blankets engulfing her.

"Come on Sakura. Just relax and let's try to get some sleep," Tomoyo sighed as she slipped herself into the other side of the bed, shutting her eyes, waiting for sleep to come. "Tomorrow should be a good and much better day."

"He thinks he's the only one that can play around like that? Ha! Guess again buddy!" She remarked once more, an evil look covering her face, the images of ways she could kill Li Syaoran coming quite clear to her. Oh... tomorrow would be a good day indeed.

SweetBabyGurl: Hey there everyone! Sorry it took me such a long time to get this up. It's just that everything has been so crazy lately. I hoped you all liked this chapter though. Thank-you so much to those of you who reviewed, and even those of you who didn't. Just please review this time! It does help a lot ;) Well, I'll try and get the next chapter up soon. That's it for now. Thanks for reading and ja ne!

P.S. Something really weird is going on with FF.Net and this new stupid Quick Edit thing, so hopefully it will go back to normal soon and I'll be able to actually put things back in properly.
