Chapter 3 – Friendly Toys
In the morning
"Gees, it's already 6 'o' clock? Twelve hours to go before I win a bet." Sakura stated aloud happily. "Syaoran came in with a huge smirk on his face and in going-out clothing. "So I see that my donsang has finally woken up? Donsang is what an older guy calls a younger girl in Korea." Syaoran winked. "SO when can I leave?" "You can leave at 7am or once Tomoyo gets here. I guess you have a lot of shopping to do today? And then a lot frustrating day after you lose the bet." Syaoran smirked and Sakura punched him playfully. "Oh by the way....I didn't want to bring this up, but you need to plan your mother's funeral." "Oh that. Well don't worry I'll have my secretary and lawyer take care of that." Sakura stuttered. "Okay then, I'll leave you to pack and I'll think about what I'll do when you lose." Syaoran yelled running out. "Oh by the way you've been here for days now so get up!" Syaoran slammed the door shut.
Sakura had so much on her mind that morning. She had to think about her mother, her family, her friends, how much training she had to catch up on not to mention the bet. Yep...it was going to be one of those days where everything goes wrong.
Tomoyo finally arrived and with her were all her friends. There was one mysterious girl in a green cloak and you couldn't exactly see her face either. "Hey Yukata. You prefer this is your other name?" Sakura said trying to see her face. Yukata only nodded. The girl standing next to her had long black hair with dark red streaks running through them. Her hair was up in a tight pony tale. She had ruby red eyes and was wearing eye liner and mascara which made her look so evil. She was wearing tight jeans and a red tank top with fire across it. "Hey Melinda! Sup? Long time no talk." Melinda remained silent and then hugged Sakura like they hadn't seen each other forever.
The second last girl hadn't said anything throughout the conversation, same as the 'mysterious girl'. She was spacing out quite obviously. She had black hair with purple streaks through it in a messy bun [with the chopsticks through it] Her eyes were dark brown. She was wearing jeans, a plain black top and a cream coat that reached her knees. "White? White? Are you there?" Sakura asked giggling. "Oh! Oh! I'm sorry, hehe, hello Saku." White said startled coming out of her trance. The last girl had soft coloured violet eyes and long silver hair. She was spacing out just like White was and looked nice in the light. She was wearing a skirt just above her knees and a sparkly pink top. [Tohru is dense]
Just to let you know they were all pretty tall, had fair skin and were born in Korean, Japan or some other part of Asia, except maybe Yukata.
"Okay, listen up guys. Me and Tomoyo made a bet with some guys......." Sakura continued talking and told them what the bet was. "So we need your help to wipe the smirk off their sorry faces. But first we have to go do some training to catch up on what I missed out on the last few days." Throughout the whole thing not one of them mentioned her family and just nodded and smiled. "You now you guys don't have to avoid the topic of my family. It's okay you know." They all stared at her and remained silent except for the 'mysterious girl' who didn't once talk through the whole conversation.
Yukata got up from where she was sitting and took off her cloak revealing an exquisite light green dress with long sleeves. It was so finally detailed and every stitch was perfect. What was really strange though was the fact that she had pointy ears. She had straight, dark brown hair went down her back just a little past her elbows. Her brown eyes seem to glimmer in the light and she looked like an angel.
"Finally Yukata, you've stepped out of the darkness. Oh and I see your wearing your favourite dress that Lego---."Sakura stopped right there. "First of all I haven't stepped out of the darkness just yet. And secondly please do not ever mention that name in front of me again." Aduial Elen said firmly. A smile slowly appeared on her face as she hugged Sakura. "I have some business to take of so I'll be gone for a couple days. "Aduial Elen put her cloak back on and left the room leaving everyone speechless.
"Well I guess it's just us five for now until little Miss Yukata comes back." Sakura stated a little annoyed. Just then Syaoran, Eriol and four other guys came prancing through the door. "Hey Syao!" Sakura looked around and stared at the new face. "These are my friends Tomoyo Daidouji, Melinda Kim, White Ke, Tohru Honda and I'm Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura stated happily pointing to each of the girls. They were all very silent and didn't say anything. "Oh and these are my friends Eriol Hiiragizawa, Andy Lee, Daniel Eun, Michael Lee, Kaiba Woo and I am Syaoran Li" [Andy and Michael rent related] "Nice to meet you all." The guys said in unison. White and Tohru just stood there spacing out not really caring. Melinda was the first to speak.
"Hey. My friends are spacing out so don't bother them. Anyways, nice to meet you." Melinda stated matter-of-factly. Finally something in Melinda's mind snapped. "So you're telling me that you're the famous Syaoran Li? The future leader of the Li Clan? Heir to the Li fortune? Youngest not to mention only son of the family? Richest guy in Japan? Most wanted bachelor in all of Japan, Korea AND Hong Kong?" Melinda amazingly babbled in one breath. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. Oh and by the way.... Do you always tell a person's life story in one breath?" Melinda clenched her fists and glared. I'm gonna get back at him later. Everyone began to laugh.
Andy had black short messy hair with blond streaks. He had golden coloured eyes and was wearing the same clothing as everyone else. They were all wearing baggy jeans and a sleeveless coloured top. Daniel had short, black spiky hair and light brown eyes. He was really tall just like the other guys. Michael had short and messy orange hair. He had red eyes and same as everyone else they were wearing the same thing. The last guy standing also seemed to have spaced out same with the girls. He had short dark brown and a cold look in silver coloured eyes.
"I see you girls aren't big talkers' aye?" Andy said breaking the silence. "Except for Melinda of course." Tohru said with a smirk on her face waiting for a slap on the face, but ONLY got a kick in the gut. "Didn't Melinda tell you? Didn't she get it through your thick skull? We are spacing out so don't FUCKING bother us." White stated annoyed. "Well soooorrrryyyy. I must have been spacing out too when she said it." Andy retorted sarcastically getting ready to beat this chick up. He was taught not to hurt women, but this girl was getting on his nerves and they just met.
"I'm sorry. What did you say? I WAS SPACING OUT!" All the girls except for Sakura yelled. Syaoran, Eriol, Sakura and Tomoyo were enjoying this little argument. "If you don't mind WE have plans and they have to be done unless of course you want me to kick your ass." Shouted Melinda. Tohru suddenly began talking. "FUCKING SHUTUP! We all have fucking stuff to do so just do it. Don't you agree Sakura? WE have to catch up on training..." Tohru said angrily yet reasonably. "Tsk, tsk...you girls have quite a large swear vocabulary." "You, shut up!" White stated firmly.
Everyone stared at Tohru and agreed what she was saying was right. "Hey Sakura. I was thinking since the guys are here do u want to change the bet a bit more?" Syaoran asked playfully drawing everyone's attention. "Go ahead." "Why don't all of us go out for dinner tonight instead? But the rule still applies. You have to find 106 Lee Building on Kim Street." "Hmmm....what do you guys think?" "Hell yeh! You know I like to party." Melinda screamed happily making the guys wince. "Yeh sure, whatever sounds pretty good. But this is after we train right?" White said bluntly. "Well der... we have much to catch up anyways." "Well then if you're all going, then I'm going to." Tohru said somewhat cheerfully.
"If you can find it that is." The guys butted in, in unison. Both guys and girls broke into an argument. Syaoran did a loud high-pitch whistle to get everyone's attention. "Didn't you say that you had to train?" "Oh yeh! SHIT! It's already 7am. We have to train for 4 hours. Then go ummmm...shopping for 2 hours... and then try to find your place at." "Okay geez, you don't have to tell us your life story." Syaoran smirked. "Well if you girls don't mind, we would like to train with you. How's that sound?" They all began to grin, even the girls grinned. "Okay then! We would be happy to wipe the smile off of your faces and kick your sorry asses." The girls cackled evilly. The guys laughed uncontrollably. "Fine what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Sakura proclaimed. "HAI!" They all shouted in unison. "Great, where are we going?" Michael said making everyone sweat drop.
"Just follow us." White said leading them all outside. Sakura got up too, but needed some support from Tomoyo to walk.
Outside the hospital
"Come on! I've wanted to use these all morning!" Sakura yelled urging everyone to come quickly. All the girls ran up to their red motorbikes and hopped on putting their helmets on. "Well what are you guys waiting for? Hop on! Unless you have your own way of transport?" Tohru said more cheerfully than before. "Why don't we ride?" The guys said questioning. "Maybe we would, but one, you don't know where it is, and two we don't want some guy to ride our bikes." Melinda said stubbornly. "Hurry up! I need to kick some ass!" White whined uncontrollably. "FINE!" They all shouted in unison. Syaoran got on with Sakura, Eriol got on with Tomoyo, Andy with White, Melinda with Michael, Kaiba with Tohru and Daniel by himself.
don't take it personally friends
"Awww.... I don't get to put my hands around a girl." Everyone glared at Daniel. "Don't get any ideas or else." The girls warned. "We wouldn't dream of it." Syaoran chuckled. The girls revved their bikes after giving the guys' helmets. It was amazing how fast they went and in no time they were there. It was awkward for all of them. Didn't guys usually do the riding? "It's ok Syaoran, you can hold me tighter, and it won't hurt me." Sakura winked. Syaoran blushed and held onto her tighter.
Cherry Train [training place named after Sakura]
They finally arrived at this huge white mansion. "Whoa man, this is some place." Andy gawked amazed as he stepped into the mansion. It was like a super gym. "Thanks Andy, my dad built it for me so I could train whenever I come here. The first floor is for hand combat, outside is for sword fighting and archery, upstairs is for shooting. "Why do you have all of this?" Michael asked tilting his head. "Sakura's dad wanted her to protect herself so he made her train. She found us so that it would be way more fun!" Melinda said calmly.
"One more thing...why do u have archery when you have guns?" Daniel asked somewhat puzzled. "Well you see... my friend Yukata prefers arrows as her choice of weapon. It's a long story so don't worry about it." "Whoa all these people here training." Michael blurted out. "EVERYBODY GET OUT NOW! COME BACK IN ABOUT 3 HOURS!" Sakura yelled letting her voice echo. There was a loud call of 'Hai' throughout the room. They were all out in no time. "Okay then so let's get started, you guys just go where you want to and don't get lost."
"I find it a little strange that these girls seem so dangerous and mysterious especially Sakura...there's just something about her that I've never seen in other girls. I just wanna grab her and tell her I love her and then kiss her...is it love or lust? AHHH! Why must you torture me god? I have to find out more about her coz it's just tearing me up not knowing. I don't know what's wrong with me! I can't even read her eyes.....they're always so...so.....so happy." Syaoran's mind was arguing with his heart and frankly he didn't know what to think anymore.
They all went there separate ways, except for Sakura and Syaoran. "Syao? Syao? Hello? Come on let's go outside." Sakura smiled waving her hand in his face. When that didn't work she punched him in the arm. That didn't work either so Sakura did the unthinkable. "I have porn!" Syaoran instantly got out of his trance and blushed furiously. "I knew that would work, that always works." Sakura thought smiling.
Sakura laughed like a crazy scientist. "Syaoran loves pooorrrn! Syaoran loves pooorrrn!" Sakura sang with a childish voice throughout the mansion prancing like a ballet dancer. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked to see what the commotion was all about. Syaoran was starting to get angry and you could tell because you could practically see steam being emitted. "Yeh we know!" Andy, Michael, Kaiba, Daniel and Eriol yelled in unison with the hugest smirk on their faces. Syaoran ran at the speed of light and the next thing they knew it, they were on the ground clutching their you know what. wink wink . All the guys moaned and tried uselessly to get up. Much to Syaoran's delight none of them got up for a long time.
"Hey oppa... don't take anything I just did seriously. OK?" "Well at least you gave me a reason to hurt those guys. They've been asking for it all month." Syaoran chuckled. They finally went outside for a sword fight. Sakura picked up her sword and swung it around getting use to the weight after so many days. She got into her stance and did some pretty fancy sword manoeuvres. "You can use that sword over there." Sakura pointed to one on a stand.
"I like a girl that can stand up for herself." Syaoran said matter-of-factly while walking over to pick up the sword.
Syaoran was impressed about how she could handle a sword. Syaoran also did some pretty fancy sword moves. He looked really graceful doing it. It looked more like ballet than fighting. Sakura looked at his moves carefully and then began to mimic the same thing he did. ""Your pretty good aye? Where did ya learn to do that?" Syaoran asked curiously. "Ummm... you know...around." Syaoran raised a brow and decided to skip the topic.
Sakura put down her sword and lead Syaoran to the targets for some archery. [for my friend] "Have you ever done this before oppa?" Sakura asked picking up a bow and placing an arrow in it. The bow had a tall thin strong handle and was curved only lightly. It had mysterious marking on it in gold; it seemed like some other foreign language. Sakura looked sharply at the target and released the arrow. It flew through the air so quickly that you could hear the whistling sound it created. It hit near the centre. "Holy fuck! How did ya do that???!!!" Syaoran yelled making Sakura deaf. "You don't have to freaking make my ears bleed!" Sakura screamed.
"Sorry." Syaoran bowed furiously. [like Fruits basket hehe] yelling sorry over and over again. "Practise. My friend Yukata is the best at it! She taught me and the girls. She's so nice and I know you'll like her when you meet her. She can make it go 100 times faster than mine and it won't make a sound plus she can make it go super far.....here you try." Syaoran attempted several times, but it always managed to fly 2 metres high then drop. ("-- )
"SHIT! We better get going. I've got to find your house." "IF you find it that is." Syaoran smirked. "Don't you have to go shopping first?" "No! I'm not into that kinda thing. Well I like clothes and all, it's just that there always getting...ummm......worn out. I can't afford to waste money when they are gonna get wrecked." Sakura said nervously and sped off to get her friends.
There was like a quick black blur as the 6 girls ran out of the house and a huge blow of dust. The guys just stood there watching and they all fell over. "Well we better get going too. We have things to discuss." Syaoran said sternly and walked out. The others nodded and followed with determination in their eyes. Outside waiting was a black limousine with the number plate saying 'SHOTS'. They got in and drove off.
Sakura's apartment
"Okay! Tomoyo did you find all the possible places?" Sakura asked mischievously rubbing her hands together. "Well the thing is...I came up with one place and...." "Yes...and? "I-It d-d-doesn't exactly....exist." Tomoyo stuttered "WHAT THE FUCK!? IT HAS TO EXIST! SYAO-KUN WOULDN'T GIVE ME A FAKE ADDRESS! THAT'S CHEATING!" Sakura huffed and puffed yelling her lungs out before glaring at everyone. Everyone fell over with their hands covering their ears and their eyes tightly shut. Melinda was the first to speak. "Umm...Sakura?" "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT MELINDA?" White stepped in as Melinda and Sakura were having a dissing contest. Tomoyo whispered to Tohru and she nodded in agreement. "I hate it when they get like this. This dissing contest could go on for hours. Must be PMS aye?" "Sakura!!!! Melinda just wanted to say that she knows where the building is!" White screamed her head off punching the wall. "Ouch" White cursed herself silently for doing that.
"Well why didn't you just tell me in the first place and save us the time?" Sakura questioned Melinda as she knew perfectly well that it was her own fault for not stopping and listening. Melinda simply glared. "So where exactly is the building" "Well I heard from some ummm....." Melinda thought carefully. "...sources that it's suppose to be private property surrounded by tonnes of guards, alarms and the whole shit package...kinda like on TV."
"Well I see, your rich boyfriend, has perked up security just in case." Tomoyo's eyes were shining more than usual that it was almost mesmerising. All of the girls knew this expression well. Tomoyo wasn't spacing out, but she was at the same time. That's the look she always got when she was reading someone's mind or something. "It's just west of Ji Jong. About one hour's drive. Don't worry I'll give the directions." Tohru offered. Not everyone was so sure about that idea. "You know what...maybe I should do it okay Tohru?" White said politely. "Okie dokie." Tohru replied cheerfully.
White looked at her black watch. "You guys...it's 1400 hours. Maybe we should change and then get going." White had a thing for talking in 24 hour time.
She also has a habit of closing any doors, cupboards and drawers that are open. Kinda strange aye? All in all White is the strange one in the group.
"Your right White, we should start while were ahead, you never know how many obstacles there are." "HAHAHA! Sakura you say that like we're in a war." Tohru laughed, but no one laughed with her so she stopped.
[Tohru is kinda dense okay?]
"Well it is I guess in some ways." They all ran upstairs and put on their clothing.
The girls weren't exactly into formal clothing so they all wore informal clothing. All they wore were jeans, sneakers and plain coloured tops. They locked the apartment and got into their separate red Porsches. You could hear the car's revving before they drove off. "Sakura!" "Yes White!" The two yelled through the windows at great speed. "You're going the wrong way!!" Sakura blinked and sweat dropped stopping the car dead in its tracks. "You could have told me earlier before I made a fool of myself bitch" Sakura mumbled. "I heard that!!!" Finally their 'journey' began towards the right direction. Sakura would die before losing to Syaoran Li and that was a promise.
Sorry the chapter is so long, but there is a lot of stuff I wanted to explain thoroughly o). If I screw something up or if nothing makes sense just email me or sumthing. =D
