Hey guys! This fic will be coming to an end soon… but not now! Maybe 1 or 2 chapters more and an epilogue or something… then we will have to exchange our farewells! I'm sorry if I haven't updated yesterday when I had the time… but… I just needed a day off for me (and I was lazy). Oh and my mom kept dragging me away from my precious lovable computer. Thanks for the reviews by the way.
I'm making updates as soon as possible since it is already my vacation time! Does a silly dance But I wouldn't be able to update much (I think…) because I need to go to school on Monday (Today's a Friday)… at 2:30 p.m. to practice for the outstanding thingy. (Honor Roll)
So… anyway… on with the story that is coming to an end?
Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captor Sakura but I THINK I own this plot.
Chapter XV: The Dance
"Guys… I… Thank you!" Sakura felt like crying as she hugged her best friends.
"Wait Sakura… not so much! You're going to ruin your dress… not to mention ours!" Chiharu joked.
"Sorry" Sakura laughed. "So… how are we going to the dance again?"
"Li-kun called me and said that a huge limousine would pick all of us up" Meiling said as her eyes twinkled.
"I wonder who we are bidding farewell to…" Sakura mumbled as she played with her gloves.
"I heard it would be someone who is filthy rich…" Chiharu answered as she applied her lip gloss.
"I think we are bidding farewell to a family…" Tomoyo said as she brushed her long dark purple hair smoothly.
"A family?" Sakura repeated as she applied her lip gloss.
Tomoyo nodded soundlessly and looked sadly at Sakura. 'Poor Kura-chan' she thought as she placed her hair brush on her vanity table.
"You guys all ready?" Chiharu asked as she took one last look at her mirror.
"Ready!" they answered.
"Come on guys! The limousine is outside!" Meiling said as she saw a huge sleek black limousine park at the front of the mansion.
They all let out a nervous sigh and went down to the limousine.
"Do I look alright?" Syaoran asked nervously as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing an Armani, gel was applied on his hair but it just helped make it messier but truly sexier. One thing that was contrasting to his look was a single red rose that he kept in his pocket.
"You look great" Eriol said as he fixed his glasses. He was wearing an Armani as well, his wet hair still dripping because he just took a bath. He grabbed a towel lying on a chair and proceeded to dry his hair.
Takashi was currently reading a manga, he was lying on the couch. His dark brown eyes open and held a twinkle of amusement. His short black hair neatly combed, he was wearing a tuxedo, complete with the white dress shirt, black trousers, black tuxedo jacket, black bow tie, and a grey cummerbund. "What time is it again?" he asked.
"About a quarter to 6…" Ryu answered as he was fixing his black bow tie, He was wearing a tuxedo too, but he had a red cummerbund. After fixing his bow tie he wore his black tuxedo jacket to complete his outfit. His short black hair neatly combed as well.
"When are the girls arriving?" Eriol asked as he combed his now dry midnight blue hair.
"Now" Ryu said as he saw the limousine stop in front of Syaoran's mansion.
"What!" the other boys exclaimed.
"They're here… we better get there… and fast" Ryu repeated as he made a move to get out of the living room only to be squished together with the other 3 boys.
"Hey!" Takashi exclaimed. "Just go already!"
"We can't!" Eriol said. "We're stuck!"
"What!" Syaoran shouted, unbelieving.
"This is all your fault!" Takashi whined.
Ryu let out a sigh of irritation and pushed all of them together making them fall, face down on the floor. He chuckled as he made his way to the front door. They stood up quickly and caught up with Ryu.
As Sakura and the girls saw their dates, they laughed out loud because they looked like they've just seen a ghost but all the boys could do was gape at them.
Syaoran searched for Sakura and finally saw her. And what he saw made his heart skip a beat. Sakura was laughing joyously, her light pink dress flowing in the wind. Her dress was pretty long, and it was strapless. Her hair was tied into a French twist with her bangs curled up around her face. Her bangs were dyed a bit pink but still have traces of auburn in it. A single pink cherry blossom was painted on her left cheek, but aside from that, she wasn't wearing anymore make up except for her cherry lip gloss. She was wearing white gloves that reached her elbows. Syaoran smiled widely and approached her. And there he noticed that a chibi-wolf was painted on her collar bone. His features softened as he traced a finger along her collar bone and felt her shiver. He finally looked at her eyes and amber met emerald. There did he also notice that a couple of glitters were placed at the sides of her eyes.
"You look gorgeous" he whispered as he hugged her tightly.
"Thank you" she meekly said as she returned the hug.
"Come on" he whispered as he led Sakura away from the others.
"Where are we going?" she whispered as well.
"Our own limousine" he smiled.
Sakura smiled and couldn't help herself to hug him. "Thank you Syao-kun"
He smiled sadly… "You're welcome" he mumbled as he inhaled the scent of cherry blossoms. As he inhaled the scent of the girl… the girl he was—
"Master Li, you're limo is ready" Wei, the butler said as he gestured the both of them inside it.
"Thank you Wei" Syaoran said and Sakura only smiled at him, a smile which he gladly returned.
"You look beautiful Tomoyo" Eriol said as he approached the girl who was giggling quietly. Tomoyo was wearing a long, flowing violet dress which formed an "X" at the back. Her hair was let loose and it was blowing in the wind. Glitters glittered brightly in her hair. She was wearing a bit of blush and lip gloss.
"Arigato Eriol" Tomoyo smiled as she made a move to tuck a stray strand of her hair behind her ear but Eriol's hand caught hers and used his own hand to tuck it. They just stared at each other for a couple of minutes before snapping out of their daydreams. They let go of each other like they were burnt by a hot flame, and a streak of red formed on their faces.
"Come on… Let's go inside" he said as he gestured for her to enter the Limousine.
Chiharu smiled at Takashi as she saw him approach her. Her brown hair was tied into two braids with red, silk ribbons. She was wearing a light blush and light red lipstick. Her red dress just ended up an inch after her knee. But what Takashi really noticed that Chiharu was wearing a jacket, but not only just a jacket, but his jacket which he gave to her when she was cold. It was his school jacket and boy, did it look good on her. He smiled at her as well and they both entered the limousine. For what they felt, words couldn't express.
"You look stunning Ryu!" Meiling smiled as she linked arms with his. Meiling was wearing a backless black flowing dress. Her hair was all curled up and light pink eye shadow was applied on her eyes. The symbol of the yin and yang was painted at her right cheek. Lip gloss was applied on her lips. Ryu hugged her tight and kissed her on the forehead.
"So do you…" he whispered as he led Meiling into the Limousine.
"So why aren't Naoko, Rika, Kazuki and Akira coming?" Syaoran asked Sakura as he unconsciously scooted closer to her.
"Kazuki and Akira are your friends too… you should know" Sakura smiled.
"I was pre-occupied" he smiled sheepishly.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Akira and Kazuki caught the flu when they were out running in the rain last Wednesday… and since Naoko and Rika are their girlfriends, they bailed out"
Syaoran nodded his head in understanding. "If I got sick… would you have bailed out too?" he asked.
Sakura blushed and nodded. Syaoran smiled seeing her uncomfortable.
"Then that would mean that you're my girlfriend… right?" he asked innocently… too innocently.
"You wish" she said as she looked away.
"I already did" he whispered making Sakura jerk her head towards him.
"What?"
'Would you be my girl friend?' was the first thing that came into his mind. But he couldn't ask her… not now… he was lea—
"Hello?" Sakura said as she waved her hand in front of his face.
"What? Oh… That was nothing" he mumbled as he looked away, feeling though as he just died.
"Oh… uhm… yeah" Sakura sighed as she looked away as well. She felt like crying… she felt it bad. She felt like crying because she knew he couldn't love her… she was stupid to have such high hopes.
'I'm sorry Sakura' he thought as he closed his eyes to prevent his tears from coming.
After a couple of minutes, they all finally reached the hotel, where the party was being held. The first ones to come out were Sakura and Syaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo, Takashi and Chiharu, then Meiling and Ryu.
A man dressed in an Armani approached them. "Welcome to the party…" he smiled. "Please follow me" he said as he guided them inside the hotel.
'Tonight's the night' Syaoran thought sadly.
Gurla: coughs I hate being sick!
Evil Gurla: Yeah… R&R everybody!
