Hehehe…. Thanks for the reviews guys! I received a few from names I hadn't seen before, which is always nice. The one that made my day though…

Yumi's Twin-Kagome!!! I love you xD

Thank you again for the reviews!

I've been writing this chapter since I posted the last one, and I'm already at work on chapter 11. I'm sorry if this chapter has a little lack of interesting things/ being too slow. Hopefully chapter 11 won't be like this!

Oh yeah! I'm sorry about all the typos, but you are not allowed to ask how this happened. I will simply tell you I accidentally deleted Word….and typed most of it in WordPad—which does not have spell check. Luckily I noticed one typo when I got Word back…but Word didn't pick up any of the typos from what was already saved . and I didn't check…so I'm very sorry about that, but there was my explanation, in case you were wondering!

Recap: "I wonder if Tomoyo could make me a new outfit to wear with my wand…I think it would be fun to just have a few days of fighting again. I don't…I don't want to be a normal girl."

"Sakura, you aren't normal," he rolled his eyes. "But I'd be glad to battle with you… Or against you." He winked.

Chapter 10: Hard Work

When Sakura and Syaoran returned to where they had left their friends, the sight was not welcoming, and definitely not one they wanted to see. Tomoyo was sitting on the bench at Syaoran's porch crying her heart out. Obviously things had not gone well.

"Tomo-chan, are you okay? What did Eriol tell you?" she was worried—it was her best friend in the world, after all.

"I'll be fine Sakura. I just need to be left alone for a while. Don't worry. I'm sure you know what this is about, anyway." Her tone was not a completely happy one. Tomoyo was not completely angry at her friends for keeping a secret from her, but she understood it was Eriol who had to tell her anyway. Sakura understood her friend's need to be alone and nodded as Tomoyo wandered back inside.

"I'm sure she'll be fine. She loves him, anyway. It won't take long. Now," Syaoran said breathily as he picked up Sakura wedding style, "what shall we do for the afternoon? If Tomoyo does make you a dress, you should go look for fabric. If not we could…I don't know…do something." By the look in his eyes Sakura could tell something was up, and she'd seen that look before.

"No!" Sakura screeched, slamming her hands into his face, knocking him backwards. "You're so naughty Syao!"

Syaoran noticed the tinge of red on her cheeks and the cute way she had spoken. "You're naughty too… Hey, I've got an idea," his voice trailed off as he opened the door, carrying her in.

"What is it?" Sakura wondered, an innocent look on her face.

"Well…"

"Well?" He was going to drive her mad! "Hooeee!" She found herself on the ground, wincing from the pain in her rear end. "Syaoran! Why'd you do that?!"

"Because you're cute when you get all worked up like that." Li smirked when he saw the pink her in cheeks again. Perfect. "Sakura I want to see you in all your new outfits." It was a statement, no "May I"s about it.

"Why?"

"I bought you all those new clothes—not to mention a kitten—and I don't even get to see you in them?"

Sakura shrugged. "I guess it wouldn't hurt." She got up, eyes closed for the instant she moved. Syaoran couldn't help but look at her in awe, staring at her perfect body as she walked back to the room where her shopping bags had been abandoned.

"She is so beautiful; wouldn't you agree 'Syao'?"

Li jumped at the voice, then settled back down. "Yeah, she is. You should go comfort Tomoyo, you know. Maybe not for another 10 minutes, but you should still do it."

Eriol sighed. Why did his descendant have to be right? "Yeah, yeah. I'll leave you and Sakura alone now," he waved his hand dejectedly while going to a guest room.

"Thanks."

Eriol merely smiled and shook his head.

--

"Sakura, you look stunning…" Syaoran could barely get it out, she had simply taken his breath away.

She grinned, turning in circles to show off the outfit. It was one of two Li had picked out for her personally, and he was happy with the results of this purchase. The top left her shoulders bare, going straight from one arm, across the torso, to the next arm. It was lined in pink, though the top was white itself. Just below the bust was a pink ribbon and a small bow. The sleeves were long and slightly belled though also etched in pink. Just below her top was a pink skirt with white tulle cut in flower patterns which accented the top almost perfectly. Her shoes were the simple white heels she had worn just a few days before. Aside from her scraggy and almost dry hair, she looked perfect.

"Are you sure?" Sakura had barely heard him speak, but she wanted to tease him. "But, I am a model." Of course she was being sarcastic, but it didn't stop Li.

"Well models can't look good in everything. Don't be so stuck up."

"I'm not, I was only joking!" She had on her angry face now—which was staring straight into Syaoran's serious one. Somehow without her noticing though, Syaoran had become dangerously close to her, and she could feel his breath.

Without warning his lips came crashing down onto hers. For a few hot, breathy seconds it was a heat of passion, but his presence left Sakura as she opened her eyes.

"Next outfit." A command.

"Yes sir," Sakura saluted. She disappeared again and six outfits later she was on the last one, which just so happened to be the most revealing one.

"Xiao Lang…" her head pepped around the corner.

"What is it?"

"I'm not sure you should see this one."

"Sakura, whatever it is, remember that I've seen you in less." He raised an eyebrow with a 'You-know-I'm-right' look.

"Okay," Sakura said a little too sheepishly as she walked out. The first thing Syaoran noticed was her breasts. They were popping out a little at the top, but he didn't mind. His eyes roamed downward at a slow pace, taking it all in. A black corset top with sheer fabric in the middle and down her sides. The lacing was black and a deep maroon red which made it just as sexy. With it she wore a short, lowrise black and red skirt and knee-length boots. To Li Syaoran, this was as seductive as or worse than the outfit she had worn at the modeling show. And oh gods how he wanted to take her right there. But he had other things in mind concerning that.

"Sakura, I love you."

She blushed instantly. "I love you too. Can I change into my normal clothes now?"

"Most certainly not! Hohoho!" Both pairs of eyes shot up to the source of the voice. Obviously someone was feeling better. "Sakura, you look divine in corsets. My idea for your party dress was a good one! I'm not sure I want these," she tapped the tops of Sakura breasts, "sticking out so much though."

Kinomoto and Li both sweat dropped. What did their friend have in mind this time? She had said she may not make Sakura and angel again, but meeting the Li family in something like she was wearing now would not be a good idea.

Seeing the worried look on the male's face, Tomoyo began to speak. "Syaoran I'm not going to make her look like a whore to your family. Besides, they've all met her before, right? No need to judge now." There was an odd smirk on her face then—stars in her eyes too. "Well, I'm off! Hohohoho!" With that, Tomoyo was gone and already out the front door.

Sakura sighed in relief. "She won't be putting me in black. I could tell by her attitude and the look in her eye. Don't worry Lang. she was only teasing you," Sakura smiled, turning back into her "changing room."

--

"Is that for Sakura?" His voice penetrated the room, almost making Tomoyo jump from behind her sewing machine.

"Of course it is. Do you think it will look good on her? Do you think Syaoran will like it?" Daidouji almost sounded worried.

"He'll be happy as long as it looks good on her. And just by looking I can tell that it will."

She smiled happily, her deep purple eyes shining. There was a comfortable quiet between them, then, as Tomoyo began sewing again.

--

"You can all stay over again if you want to. You know I have plenty of room, and it'd be nice to have some company…" The chestnut headed man had been persistent; more than having the company of his friends, he wanted to snuggle up to his cute little Sakura.

"I think we should stay at the hotel tonight. But if you want to take care of Squishy and Syao, you're welcome to," Tomoyo chimed in happily. This made Li groan but he accepted it by nodding.

Sakura squealed and jumped up and down. The next thing everyone knew she had glomped him—which startled the young man—until he gently wrapped his arms around his beloved. At the sight of this Daidouji giggled while Eriol simply smirked and turned his head the opposite direction.

"Thank you Xiao Lang," cherry lips whispered into the young wolf's ear before gently nibbling it. Sakura let go and smiled.

"Let's go then. I want you two to get a good night's sleep, okay?" Syaoran turned towards the door, the two young women following closely behind.

"Okay!" The two chimed in unison.

"I'll stay to watch the house. Drive safely Syaoran."

"Eriol you should like my mother—stop it!"

Hiiragizawa chuckled, his lips forming a loose smile. Bugging his little cousin, or descendent, seemed to be how he was having fun these days. And he was happy to see his favorite bright-eyed girl smile at him the way she did after he mocked Syaoran.

"I'll see you girls tomorrow." Eriol waved as he shut the door behind the, hearing the calls of "later" and "good bye."

--

When Syaoran and the girls arrived at the hotel he took them up to their room to be sure they made it safely—and to carry their bags.

"Just put them down by the couch. It's alright," Sakura assured him as he set them down.

"No, no! Put mine in my bedroom! They have important things in them." Tomoyo would not have Sakura seeing her dress. Once her best friend was asleep, she would hide in her bedroom and sew until she had to sleep—or Sakura woke up—whichever happened first.

"Thank you Xiao Lang, we had a great time. I'll call you tomorrow," Sakura beamed.

"How about I call you? The party starts at five. I'm sure you'll want a wake up call—both of you," he winked. Syao knew what Tomoyo was up to—and she would probably end up sleeping the day away if she could.

"Tomo? A wake up call? She's always up earlier than me though." Sakura was clearly confused. "Unless…"

The other two gulped. Did she know?

"You're nervous, aren't you? You're scared and excited about seeing Feimei, Fanren, Fuutie and Shiefa again, just like me! Don't worry, Tomo! If I can fall asleep in five minutes, so can you!"

The other two sighed in relief.

'At least she's as dense as she used to be,' Li thought.

--

After much reassurance that Tomoyo would go to sleep soon, Sakura went to bed which gave Daidouji a perfect opportunity for sewing.

She worked tirelessly for a few hours until sleep began to drone on her, and the dress was finished—she was thankful she had finished the most difficult things sometime during the day. 'I hope she likes it,' Tomoyo thought.

She looked at the hotel's alarm clock once she was done. 2:30 am. Her nimble fingers gathered up all the sewing equipment and extra material, putting it all back safely where it belonged.

--

"Tomo-chan! Why aren't you awake yet?" Sakura rubbed her sleepy eyes after quietly knocking on her friend's bedroom door.

"Just…a little…longer…" Sakura heard her friend say only moments before Sakura's cell phone began to ring.

Sakura rolled her eyes and walked towards the sound of her ringing phone. "Moshi-moshi?" A pause. "I thought it would be you… Yeah, she's still asleep. I guess all that panicking kept her up…"

Syaoran chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing. Let me talk to her."

"But she's asleep."

"Just take the phone to her and make her talk to me."

Sakura sighed, rolling her eyes at she opened Tomo-chan's door and put the phone to Tomoyo's ear. "Tomo-chan, it's Syaoran." Tomoyo groaned and turned over. "To-mo-yo!"

"Hello…Syaoran-san…"

Sakura smiled triumphantly and left the room telling the dark haired girl, "Tell me what he wanted when you're done!"

When the brunette left, Daidouji sighed into the phone. "What time is it Li?"

"Oh, almost eleven," he chuckled. "I just wanted to wake you up and walk how 'it' went. I also wanted to know if you thought a little gift I bought for Sakura would look good with her dress. It's just something I…picked up the other day."

"Hehe! You're so talkative lately! Anyway, I finished it around 2:30, I think. It's going to look great on her. Oh, and what is this little…gift?" She sat up, being very excited all of a sudden.

"Well, I'm not sure I can tell you yet, but I'll show you later before I give it to her."

Daidouji growled into the phone at him. "Well I'm sure whatever it is, it will go with it. Oh, and I hope Squishy has been good?"

"Yeah, fine. I just took it for a walk not too long ago…"

"Thank you very much! Well, Sakura-chan and I will be seeing you and Eriol later! Jyaa!"

"Jyaa ne."

Daidouji ended the call, a giant smile on her face. Sakura was going to love this and would definitely be blushing. It would be a moment worth recording, and then the guys could see her face too. "She'll love me."

So what did you think? Do you know what Syaoran's other gift is? The one he was talking about wasn't the clip, I think he'll give that to her before she leaves…

Thank you guys for the votes from the past chapters—it's helped me decide what will happen sometime within the next two or three chapters :D You're great, really!
