It was nighttime at the Kinomoto residence and the girls were in Tomoyo's room discussing...things...
"Tomoyo...Are you still wondering about that tampon incident?" Sakura asked and shuddered as she plopped herself comfortably on Tomoyo's bed.
"Don't even mention it, Sakura. What if he's gay or something?" Tomoyo gasped in horror.
"Aw. That would be hilarious though! I wouldn't even be surprised if he was gay with Li." Sakura wondered and Tomoyo shook her head.
"That just sounds wrong Sakura. And don't you love your lovey-dovey Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked as she puckered her lips and made kissing noises.
"EWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!" Sakura screamed and chucked a nearby pillow at a Tomoyo.
"Sakura! FOR THE LAST TIME! BE QUIET!" Touya screamed from downstairs.
"I DON'T HAVE TO, TOUYA!" Sakura screamed back.
"WELL SINCE YOU'RE A SQUIRT AND I SAID SO, YOU HAVE TO!" Touya screamed and she could hear footsteps coming from the staircase.
"WELL SINCE YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT, I WON'T HAVE TO!" Sakura screamed loudly and Tomoyo covered her ears, expecting what was coming next.
"YOU WILL SHUT UP NOW AND STOP SCREAMING!" Touya screamed as he appeared at the door of Tomoyo's room.
"NO I WON'T!"
"YES YOU WILL!"
"NO I WON'T!"
"YES YOU WILL!"
"AHH!! SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!" Tomoyo screamed in frustration as the others looked at her in surprise.
"I think Eriol is becoming a bad, bad influence on her." Sakura sighed and shook her head disappointedly. She stuck out her tongue at Touya.
"Squirt."
"Idiot."
"Argh." Tomoyo said and shoved Touya out of her room. She came back and glared at Sakura.
"What?" Sakura said innocently as she slowly backed away to the wall.
"I swear my eardrums are going to pop soon." Tomoyo said and sat down on her bed.
"So...do you think Li's gay?" Sakura asked randomly and Tomoyo slapped her forehead and let out a groan of agony.
The next day...was like any other day. Tomoyo performed her 'wake-up-Sakura' trick and they were off to school.
"Li's gay, isn't he? And Eriol is gay too, isn't he? That's why they had tampons, isn't it? And they're probably dating each other!" Sakura exclaimed and held back a shudder.
"Sakura, why don't you go ask them?" Tomoyo replied moodily, annoyed by her best friend's constant questions.
"You're right...do you think they'll feel offended? I mean, they DO make a cute couple but I never thought of Li and Eriol as a couple." Sakura wondered and placed her hand on her chin as if she was thinking.
"Oh look there they are! Why don't you go ask them?" Tomoyo said as she pointed to Li and Eriol mobbed by their usual fanatics.
"Okay!" Sakura replied cheerfully as she stalked towards the entrance.
As she got closer, she heard the excited chatters of the girls. They seemed to be jumping around and giving mean, evil glares to Sakura.
"-party is gonna be so cool! Li would totally love me! Oh no! I need to get a new outfit!"
"-party is going to be great! Maybe I'll get my hands on Eriol this time?"
Party? Li? Eriol? Oh, that's what all the excitement is about. She looked around for Li, also now known as, Mr. I-am-friends-with-a-crazed-maniac-that-carries-tampons-around. Li had spotted her first and walked up to her.
"So, Sakura, going to my party?" Li asked cockily.
"Hmm...depends...don't you already have a date?" Sakura asked nervously...wondering how to explain to him that she knew of his...'secret'.
"Date? No, I was waiting for you so I could ask you." Li said and a confused face replaced his cocky one.
Sakura looked around and saw the evil girls glaring at her so quickly whispered into Li's ear, "Meet me by the cherry tree."
She quickly skipped off to Tomoyo, who was now with Mr. I-carry-tampons-in-my-pocket. She decided to watch the feud and hid behind a nearby tree.
"C'mon Tomoyo! Just this ONE date to Li's party! I know your still...Uhm...freaked out by the 'tampon incident' but that was...Uh..." Eriol trailed off as he started to blush.
"Eriol...I can't." Tomoyo replied and crossed her arms across her chest.
"Why not?" Eriol questioned.
"B-Because...I know your secret." Tomoyo said nervously.
"Secret? Oh! You can't tell anyone! I swear, if anyone hears that I have a collection of Barbie dolls in my room, my reputation will crumble!" Eriol cringed and then thought for a moment, "What does that have to do with this?"
"You have Barbie dolls in your room?" Tomoyo asked incredulously.
Eriol nodded.
"That wasn't what I was talking about though...I was talking about...about...I KNOW YOUR IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH LI, ERIOL!" Tomoyo exclaimed and let out a deep breath she didn't realize she was holding.
Eriol let everything sink in, "WHAT?"
Eriol had gotten beet red and now was lunging for Tomoyo. Sakura decided this was the time for an escape and headed to class quickly.
"I knew they would get offended." Sakura mumbled quietly as she entered through the front door and headed towards her first class.
Now all she needed to do was keep her mouth quiet and avoid Li. Yup, this was going to be a long day.
Sakura and Tomoyo yawned as precious lunchtime approached. Eriol was still fuming and had steam practically coming out of his ear. Li was just curious about what she had to say.
Sakura happily ran over to the lunch line to get her lunch when someone grabbed her arm and dragged it away.
"Who are you? Let go!" Sakura said and tried to kick him in the...you know where.
"Sakura! It's just me!" a familiar voice said and she looked up at the face.
They were at the Cherry Tree. Where Li was being an ass and ALMOST made her go out with him. Pfft. Brings back old memories, doesn't it? The petals were swishing around and petals graciously fell on the floor. But no matter how beautiful it was, her mind was on only one thing...
"NOOOOOO! You made me miss my lunch!" she said angrily and tried biting him.
"Calm down! So what did you want to talk to me about?" he asked, his curiosity had taken over him, "And would you go with me to the party?"
Sakura looked down at her feet and started to kick the dirt, "Wonderful weather, isn't it?"
"Sakura. Stop changing the subject." replied an annoyed/angry Li.
"The sun is shining, the clouds are...somewhere and the birds are chirping! Wait, that has nothing to do with the weather." Sakura said and avoided his annoyed eyes burning into her.
"Sakura! What did you want to say?" Li asked, beyond the point of irritated.
"Well, for starters... I can't go with you to the party..." she said and looked down at her feet as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.
"Oh, why?" Li replied, his hope of going with Sakura crumbling by the minute.
"Because."
"Because isn't an answer Sakura. Now why can't you go with me?"
Sakura took a deep breath and looked up into his amber eyes. She regretted it as she felt herself staring. She looked down quickly again and blurted it out.
"I know you're gay."
Phew! Now that's all done! Sorry for the delay. Now I've got to write chapters for my other stories...oh...whoop! Oh, and I've stopped putting a disclaimer since you can find them on the other chapters --. Hope the chapter's okay .
