Chapter 9-Altered Plans and An Unexpected Visitor

Tomoyo grinned at her cousin, who was trying so hard to tame his unruly hair. He had spent an hour in the bathroom doing so. He looked very nice, sexy even, this evening.

'He must really like Sakura,' she thought, opening her mouth to compliment him. But before a single word escaped her mouth, there was a frustrated yell, and she quickly ducked as a comb flew out the door.

"Damn this shit. I give up! Stupid hair…"

Tomoyo muffled her giggle, but Syaoran heard her and sighed, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I don't know why you think this is funny, Tomoyo."

"Aw, I'm not laughing at you. I think you look quite handsome. I'm sure Sakura would say the same."

Syaoran's lips curved upward. "You really think so?"

Tomoyo nodded. "I know so."

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"I thought you said you were going to pick Sakura up."

Syaoran lifted an eyebrow at Tomoyo.

"I am."

Syaoran walked to the door and looked through the peephole and turned around.

"It's Allen. He looks quite presentable. Is he taking you out tonight?"

Tomoyo was silent for a couple of seconds. She looked down at herself. She was wearing her nightgown. She forgot about the date. She screamed.

Syaoran covered his ears. "Damn it Tomoyo, just go get dressed. Allen will wait for you."

Syaoran shook his head as she raced up the stairs. When he was sure she was inside her room getting ready, he opened the door.

"Syaoran, I head a scream. Is something wrong?"

Syaoran laughed nervously. "No, nothing's wrong. Tomoyo's just getting dressed. Care for a drink, Allen?"

"No, thanks anyway. I'm taking Tomoyo to an expensive restaurant. Moonlight Cove. I can't wait to see her expression."

Syaoran coughed.

"What a coincidence, I'm taking Sakura there as well."

'Damn it,' Syaoran thought. 'Should've kept my mouth shut.'

Allen simply nodded, thinking the same exact thing as Syaoran. Both had wanted to spend tonight privately with their dates.

"Allen, sorry to keep you waiting."

Allen turned around and faced Tomoyo. She was breathtaking. She wore a beautiful thin strapped lavender dress that complimented her eyes and hair. Her hair tumbled delicately down her back in curls. He wanted to kiss her so badly. But because Syaoran was right there, he couldn't.

Allen gently took her hand in his. "You look gorgeous, Tomoyo."

Tomoyo blushed. "You look quite handsome yourself."

She then turned to Syaoran. "I'll be back before midnight. Don't stay out too long Syaoran." She winked, and Syaoran grinned playfully in return.

The pair left soon enough, and Syaoran checked himself in the mirror once again.

Suddenly the phone rang.

"Li here."

"Hey buddy. How's the case going?"

Syaoran smiled at the voice.

"I haven't found much information, but I'm working on it. Not tonight though, I have a date."

Joe chuckled over the phone. "Oh really? Who is she? It's about time you got a relationship."

Syaoran sighed. "Yeah. Her name is Sakura Kinomoto. She's a dancer."

"Doesn't she work at 'Love of Dance?', owned by Devon Taylor?"

Syaoran was hesitant in answering.

"Yes."

There was a long silence.

Joe then laughed. "I got you Li. I got you. You're going out with her to get information on her boss, right? That's real smooth. I knew I could count on you to do a good job."

Syaoran stuttered at his boss's words. "B-but--"

Joe continued. "That was very clever of you to think of that Li. I'm proud of you. But whatever you do, don't let her know that you're a detective. If she finds out, she call Devon and you're gonna be a dead man. Take care."

"Wait--!"

But Joe had already hung up. Syaoran rubbed his temples. He wasn't going out with Sakura because it was duty. He wanted to spend time with her, because she was enjoyable. Syaoran let out a deep sigh and looked at the clock. It was time to pick Sakura up. Would Sakura really be mad if she found out he was a detective?

The phone rang.

"Li here."

"Syaoran."

Syaoran recognized the voice.

"Sakura. I was about to pick you up. Are you ready?"

There was a short silence before Sakura answered.

"Actually, Syaoran, I called you to let you know that I won't be able to go out with you tonight."

Syaoran felt as if he had been stabbed.

"I'm sorry. Something has come up."

Syaoran didn't know what to say.

"I'll be busy this entire week. Eriol will train Tomoyo. Good-bye Syaoran."

The phone clicked off.

Syaoran slowly put the phone back in the receiver. His plans were ruined. He needed to go for a walk.

Putting on a jacket, Syaoran opened the door. Standing before him, was a beautiful young woman.

"Hi Syaoran. Long time no see."

Syaoran's voice was just above a whisper.

"Rachel…"
