Anyways, without further ado, the long anticipated third chapter of A New Project!

Monday, the first day of the business booth showing

The school's halls were bustling with students, parents and teachers alike; all there to see the business booths. The long corridor was filled with booths set up here and there, and the crowd wandered aimlessly from booth to booth. The sun shone bright, the birds sang sweetly, and all was right with the world…

… not.

If one looked closely, they could make out the figure of a student with messy brown hair and amber eyes… banging his head against the wall?!?

"My life is ruined…"

"Li! Li, get over it! It's not that bad, okay?"

"Shut up, Hiiragizawa. You weren't there. I totally messed things up with Sakura. I made such a fool of myself!" Syaoran groaned while continuously hitting his head in frustration. "I can't believe I just walked away!"

Eriol got up to help a customer, brushing his blue-black hair out of his face. "Isn't it ironic that the man who can't tell a girl he loves her is running a business of I-Love-You-grams…" he commented, chuckling slightly. "You're hopeless, my cute little descendant!"

Syaoran frowned, but pointedly ignored that comment as his head again took another bang.

Just then, Sakura walked up to the booth.

"Good morning, Sakura-san! How are you on this fine Monday morning?" Eriol greeted. Syaoran, in the midst of hitting his head once again, stood up rigidly, blushing as he wondered whether Sakura had seen him. He glowered at Eriol.

"Hello, Eriol-kun, Syaoran-kun. I'm doing great! Isn't this just so exciting?" Sakura exclaimed happily, clasping her hands together. "Ah, Syaoran-kun, what was it that you were going to tell me last night?"

Syaoran fidgeted awkwardly. "Well, I… ah… erm…"

Suddenly, a loud cry of "SAKURA-CHAN!" was heard down the hallway. "Hoe," Sakura said as she looked and saw the large crowd lined up at her and Tomoyo's booth, practically swamping poor Tomoyo. "I guess I'd better go," she explained apologetically before rushing off to help her partner.

"Whew!" Syaoran declared as soon as Sakura was gone. He and Eriol sat down on the chairs behind their booth, awaiting the next customer.

"Why didn't you just tell her then, Li? You just missed the perfect opportunity!" Eriol demanded accusingly.

"I'm waiting for the right time," he replied. "It's not exactly romantic with you standing around, hanging on our every word."

"You're just making excuses."

Their conversation was interrupted by none other than Yamazaki Takashi running up to the edge of the booth. "Is this where I can send I-Love-You-grams?" he asked, breathing heavily and leaning against the side of their booth.

"Takashi, what happened to you?" Syaoran said derisively.

Eriol nudged Syaoran, muttering something under his breath about not being rude to paying customers. He put on a charming smile and pronounced, "How may we help you?"

Takashi, looking distinctly relieved, leaned forward so that his face was only inches from theirs. He whispered so that the others in line behind him couldn't hear. "Last night, Chiharu and I got into a big fight. She's still mad, so I need you guys to send her an extra special card with candy, flowers, and whatever else you can think of."

Still smiling, Eriol replied, "Of course we can help you, but it will cost you a little extra for the flowers and candy."

"Sure, Hiiragizawa, as long as you make this one extraordinary for Chiraru," Takashi agreed, handing over a crisp bill. "I owe you guys!"

"We'll deliver the cards on Friday!" Eriol shouted loudly at Takashi as he walked away.

The smile disappeared from Eriol's face as soon as Takashi left. He turned to Syaoran disapprovingly. "Don't be rude to the customers! Let me do the talking; you just sit there and try not to look so disgruntled all the time."

Syaoran snorted indignantly. "Me? Disgruntled?"

Receiving no response from his partner other than a roll of the eyes, he calmly went back to banging his head on the wall once again.

"My life is ruined."

Tuesday

Located across the hall from Syaoran and Eriol, Rika and Naoko were giving a short lecture to unsuspecting parents about how 75 of average homes were at risk of harboring ghosts and evil spirits.

"So to prevent this from happening," Naoko stated emphatically while pointing to a drawing of a little boy sleeping in his bed with an eerie white ghost hovering over him, "you must let us ghost-proof your homes, so to speak. For a small fee, of course," she added as an afterthought, grinning diplomatically.

The listeners clapped politely and hurried over to the booth where Rika was waiting to take orders.

"Well, Naoko, that was quite the presentation. I can see that you're very passionate about your work. I'm giving you two an A," Mr. Terada declared as he walked over to where she was standing. "Good work!"

"Just wait 'til you see what's next!" she murmured evilly so that only she could hear.

Wednesday

Tomoyo and Sakura were kept busy by the steady flow of customers. It seemed that everyone there wanted to taste the famous and fabulous baking of Daidouji Tomoyo. The two had barely had a chance to talk to each other except for monosyllabic phrases now and then. Finally, after all the commotion died down, Tomoyo got the chance to ask the question she had been dying to ask all week. "So, Sakura-chan, how was the walk home on Sunday night?"

"It was fine, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura answered innocently, not quite understanding exactly what her best friend was implying.

"Sometimes you can be so dense," Tomoyo sighed. "What I meant was how was walking home with Li-kun?"

Sakura blushed lightly, but said, "It was fine, but he tried to tell me something last night. Touya-kun interrupted us though."

"Oh?" Tomoyo queried.

"Yeah, he's so over-protective sometimes. I still don't understand why he doesn't like Syaoran-kun."

"Maybe it's because you and Li-kun spend a lot of time together," Tomoyo mused.

"Maybe…" Sakura repeated thoughtfully.

Thursday

"Chiharu, hardly anyone is coming to our booth," Takashi whined. "If they don't start to come soon, we'll won't get a very good mark

"Shut up. I'm not talking to you, remember?" Chiharu pointed out, obviously still mad.

"Aw, c'mon, I said I was sorry already."

Hearing no reply, he mumbled, "It's time to take this into my own hands!"

Suddenly, he got up and walked determinedly into the middle of the hallway. And much to everyone's surprise, he began to sing.

"This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on, my friends. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was! But they'll continue singing it forever just because… This is the song that never ends…"

While this would have been extraordinarily aggravating under any circumstances, the fact that Yamazaki Takashi couldn't sing only made the experience even more disagreeable.

After what seemed like eternity but was probably only a minute or two, he stopped singing and proclaimed loudly, "Now, if you want me to keep singing, don't do anything, but if you would like me to shut up, go sign up at our booth for our housecleaning services!"

Some glared disapprovingly, some chuckled, some just didn't care, but all went to the house cleaning booth in order to stop the singing. Takashi smiled as Chiharu blew him a kiss and mouthed, "I'm sorry." He had finally gotten on her good side again.

But his whole world came crashing down as Mr. Terada walked his way. "Yamazaki, while you have been successful, your methods are somewhat questionable. You and Chiharu will receive a C unless something changes."

Takashi looked over to his girlfriend, hoping she hadn't heard what Mr. Terada had said.

Judging by the frown on her face, she had.

Well, that's it. If you like Inuyasha, check out my other story. Please R&R to help me meet my goal! Love ya! :D
