SPEEDING BLADE
Little Wings – I'm back everybody! I have had the WORST weekend. I got a little sunburnt, my best friend and I got grabbed and they took her new phone, we had to go to the police station to make a statement for it, and I think I'm gonna stop there or it'll be even worse. The only good thing is all the reviews and stuff. I've chatted to a few of you on msn and I enjoy talkin to ya's coz I like to hear what you think.
Chapter Nine: Toxic
Sakura looked triumphantly and the surprised looks around her. Syaoran just looked surprised and extremely happy. Aika's lips formed a grin. She hugged Syaoran, then Sakura and then Tomoyo and Eriol, and took a step back.
"I guess my work here is done then, do you agree, Tomoyo?" Aika said pleasantly.
"Yeah. Thanks for all of this, it wouldn't be possible without you" Tomoyo nodded. They smiled at each other.
"Hey, whoa whoa whoa. Can someone please give me a heads up?" Sakura raised an eyebrow.
Tomoyo exchanged a look with Aika. "I know this is pretty mean, but I couldn't see you both suffer. So I called Aika and asked her to come back. She did and made you jealous, and made Syaoran partially realize his feelings for you, and then you'd both be together and live happily ever after. But then our perfect plan took a total wrong turn, got lost and was too dumb to look at a map or ask directions. And then we wished we hadn't done it"
"Uh-huh. So we were pretty much in the shit, and a bit too deep to describe in a ladylike manner. And we were stuck there for awhile until we heard from Dead Rhapsody that you and Matsuka were dating, so we thought this was perfect for you to make Syao jealous too, so just as we predicted, you told him and made him snap back to reality and figure out he loved you" Aika continued.
They all just stared at the two girls, who seemed quite unabashed at the silence.
"We're done now" Aika said sarcastically.
"That's a pretty good plan. I never actually thought I'd fall for one of your tricks, Daidouji" Matsuka told her.
"You seemed to have gone to a lot of trouble just for me, I didn't think I was so important" Syaoran said.
"I'm surprised your head isn't dragging on the ground, it's that big. Sakura, do us all a favour and keep your boyfriend's ego to a minimum, it'd help everyone, thanks" Eriol shook his head.
"Oh, I will" Sakura gave a small smile.
"Hey, sorry to break up the happy little circle but we're back, and for good, like it or not" Meiling said behind them. Yamazaki was with her.
"MEILING!" Tomoyo and Sakura screamed, hugging the other girl.
"I think I'm gonna be off, I've done my part. Bye everyone, great to see you again too, Meiling" Aika flashed them all one last smile before heading off down the street.
"I guess we'll see you around, Matsuka" Tomoyo said, giving him a grin. He gave a nod and a smile.
"THAT IS SO CUTE!" Nakuru screamed into the phone. Sakura moved it away from her ear.
"Uh..hehe, yeah. Let's just move on from the subject, shall we? Good. Now how are you, Touya and Yuki doing? Good? Excellent. How many fights have you gotten into?" she said, trying to throw the hypo girl off track.
"About thirteen but It's just way too cute, you know? Three couples in one little house! Have you and Syaoran...you know? Was he any good? Is he big? How often are you doing it? Like all the time? Do you use protection?" Nakuru asked.
"Yes! I mean, No! We aren't even doing that yet, we've been going out for about a week, Nakuru! But of course we'd use protection! I can't believe you're asking this! And it's a huge mansion, not a little house" Sakura said.
"Yeah, but hey. Anyways, is Syaoran there?" Nakuru said.
"Uh-huh, I'll just go get him" Sakura told her. A distant 'SYAO!' was heard by Nakuru's end.
"Hey, Naku, what's up?" Syaoran said through the phone.
"You and Sakura!" she sang.
"How-are-you-hope-you're-okay-take-care-bye" he said quickly to his cousin, escaping, then threw the cordless phone to Eriol.
"Nakuru, dear girl, don't go scaring the family, it's not very nice if three happy little cousins can't live together peacefully, even if the annoying one is out of town all the time" Eriol said.
"Me? Annoying? Um, no. As if anyone else is going to think that! How are you and Tomoyo doing with your fairytale relationsh-" Nakuru started.
"Gotta-go-send-my-love-to-everyone" he rushed before passing the phone to his girlfriend, now understanding Syaoran's quick escape.
"Naku! How have you been?" Tomoyo asked happily but rolled her eyes and put the finger up at Eriol, who just grinned.
"Oh, I'm great! I was talking to Sakura about how gorgeous it is that it's a happily ever after kind of story, but mixed with blood, guns, knives, jealousy, backstabbing and stuff, don't you think?" Nakuru chirped.
"Yeah, isn't it just?" the gang leader replied in a mono-tone.
"I know. It makes me wish that when I get a boyfriend and when Touya and Yukito get girlfriends, there'll be six couples in one house! Don't you think that it's so romantic?" Tomoyo could just see Nakuru with hearts in her eyes.
"Um..yeah. Listen, sorry to cut this call short but I really gotta run, we'll talk to you soon, keep safe" Tomoyo said and quickly hung up the phone.
"New record! Only thirty-one minutes and twenty-seven seconds we had to talk to her!" Eriol called from the kitchen.
"Hmm. That's definetly and improvement from the first couple of times she was out of town. It was about six or seven hours she'd lecture us on pointless things. We've become good at this over four years" Syaoran said slyly.
"Really? Wow, that's ages. The longest I've ever talked to someone on the phone was Rika, and that was five hours" Sakura said, amazed.
Tomoyo laughed. "What about? The dating tips in this month's Seventeen?"
Sakura just poked her tongue out. She checked the time. 4:30pm. "Hey, do you guys wanna go and do some time at 'Ecstasy' tonight? We're short on staff"
"Yeah" Meiling said. Tomoyo nodded her head in agreement
"Nuh" Syaoran and Eriol said.
"The game's on tonight" Yamazaki told their excuse.
"Alright then. Looks like it's just us girls then" Sakura shrugged.
When six o'clock rolled around, the girls were all jazzed up and ready to go and serve some drinks. Tomoyo wore tight studded jeans and a black chesty-style top that said 'I banged the drummer' in white print (Little Wings – I have this top. I love it 2 death hehe. Mom hates it lol, she doesn't let me out of the house in it, but what she doesn't know wont hurt her). Black ankle boots with a pointed heel were on her feet. Tomoyo's shiny black hair fell loose over her shoulders. Sakura wore a denim mini skirt with a short split up each side and a hot pink tank top with a black mesh ¾ fitted top over it. Black knee-high boots covered her legs up a bit. Meiling had on a red one-shouler midriff top with a raw-edge hem and tight black jeans were on her bottom half, along with black heels. A silver belly chain completed her outfit and her hair was in two messy buns with wisps hanging out. Tomoyo grabbed the keys to Sakura's and Meiling's cars.
"We'll see you guys tomorrow sometime coz the club'll be pretty packed, it's a Saturday" Tomoyo said.
"Mmm" Eriol answered absent-mindedly.
"Uh-huh" Syaoran said in the same tone.
"We won't be back until tomorrow morning" Meiling tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Ehh" Yamazaki mumbled.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Great boyfriends"
"Oh I totally agree" Tomoyo glared at the back of Eriol's head.
"Yeah" Meiling said sarcastically. "Oh my god, you know I saw the hottest guys at Ecstasy the other day when I swung by to see how Sian and Renshi were going and he has two gorgeous friends that would LOVE TO HOOK UP WITH US" Meiling said loudyly and stole a glance to the boys, still fixed on the tv screen.
"Oh forget it, lets go" Sakura said.
"Sakura, I'm going with you, I don't wanna drive" Tomoyo told her.
When they arrived, the club was empty except for Sian, as it wasn't opening until eight, but they had to set up everything. The DJ would be arriving in an hour, wanting to know what music to play, and Sian would be with them, as Renshi was taking the night off. Sian (pronounced Sye-ann) was English, like Eriol, and had pretty dark red hair with highlights of different colours all over the place that went to her shoulder blades and a great personality. She wasn't in Speeding Blade, although she was asked to join, she also knew about the gang's business.
"Hey" Sian's english accent said to them.
"Hey Sian, great outfit" Tomoyo said, eyeing Sian's denim mini and silver top.
"Thanks, you're looking hot yourself. Who's this then?" she asked, smiling at Sakura.
"Hey, I'm Sakura" Sakura gave a small wave.
"She's Syao's girlfriend" Tomoyo said with a wink.
"Ahhh" Sian said with a knowing smile.
"So let's get this show on the road" Meiling interjected.
"Yes Ma'am" Sian rolled her eyes.
They worked until ten to eight, which by that time the DJ was there and they were getting the lights working. The bouncer went outside, as there were already people arriving. The music blasted ant the party began.
"Tomoyo, Matsuka's asking for you. Don't do anything rash, ok?" Sian said, making a martini. Tomoyo took a shot of vodka before going over. She went over to see the guy asking for her. It was Matsuka.
"Hey there" she smiled.
"Hey. Can I have a beer and maybe a dance?" he asked, grinning.
"Sure. Dance now, beer later" Tomoyo grabbed his hand and went out onto the dancefloor.
Baby, can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Tonight
Can't calm down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?
With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
Your toxic tongue slippin' mine
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that your toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that your toxic?
It's getting late to give you up
I took a sip from a devil's cup
Slowly, It's taking over me
Tonight
Can't calm down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?
With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
Your toxic tongue slippin' mine
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that your toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that your toxic?
Intoxicated now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicated now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
Tomoyo's head started to spin slightly. She remembered that those eleven shots didn't go down to well. The head spin stopped and she grinned, and kept dancing. Things went blurry in her eyes but Tomoyo ignored it.
Over from the bar, Sakura stopped what she was doing and frowned. Tomoyo wouldn't do anything to hurt Eriol...would she? Sakura just took a deep breath and blocked it out of her mind. Maybe if Syaoran were here he'd know what to do. He always did. She bit her lip and took another attempt to shrug it off.
Tomoyo had no idea what she was doing, but before she knew it, the blurry figure who was dancing with her leaned in and kissed her lips. Just in time for Sakura to look up again. The honey-haired girl froze in shock.
Tomoyo put her hands around Eriol's neck, deepening the kiss. She felt his hands around her waist but she was soon out of breath and pulled away. Slowly, her eyes came back into focus. It wasn't her boyfriend standing in front of her, it was Matsuka. This isn't happening, Tomoyo thought. She out a hand to her mouth and ran out of the club, to the cool air outside, and spat twice on the ground. Sakura grabbed a bottle of water and ran after her. She found her friend wiping silent tears from her cheeks. Tomoyo collapsed into Sakura's eyes, crying on her shoulder. Sakura hugged her best friend, comforting her.
"Sakura, what have I done? I don't like him, I love Eriol. Why did I do it? I thought he was Eriol" Tomoyo sobbed.
"Here, drink this, it'll sober you up a bit. I know you love Eriol. You're drunk" Sakura said.
Tomoyo downed some of the water. "What do I do?"
"I-I don't know. Maybe you should tell him" Sakura answered.
"I can't. You don't understand, he'll break it off" a fresh round of tears escaped Tomoyo's eyes.
"Why?" Sakura asked.
"I feel like such a slut Sakura, Eriol would never do this to me. But I think he thinks I cheated on him a year ago. This would make him think that was true" Tomoyo explained.
"How?" Sakura frowned.
"I didn't, I swear I didn't. I was doing an assignment for school and I spent a lot of time at this guys house, we were partners and he tried to kiss me, but I pushed him back, changed partners and avoided him since" Tomoyo exhaled loudly.
"Tomoyo, I honestly have no idea what to do. If it was me, I'd want to tell him but I don't think I could. That makes me pretty weak, huh?" Sakura said lightly.
"I guess" she sniffed.
"Let's go to McDonalds and grab a burger or something, I think if you eat, you won't be so hungover" Sakura suggested.
And grabbing their coats, they went away from the guilty atmosphere.
