Chapter 5: You call this a dance?

After a few days, Sakura was beginning to feel better. She was able to stand up, and walk around. Once, she tripped, and luckily for her, Syaoran was right in front of her, so she fell on him. Her band aids didn't get dusty, but Syaoran did.

"Whoops," she said when she tried to get back up, "Sorry, Syaoran." Syaoran blushed.

"Time to go to the mall," announced Tomoyo.

The mall was a km. away. When they walked in, they were greeted by loud noises. Tomoyo and the other girls went to the dress shop. The boys went to the other side of the mall.

When the girls entered the shop, they weren't the only one. Groups and groups of girls were clustered around the clothing, all giggling or squealing with delight. Sakura looked around. Dresses, pants, and t-shirts were hung on the rackets. But everyone was at the dresses place. There were all kinds of dresses! Frilly ones, cool, punk ones, and formal ones.

"Looks like we're not the only ones going to the dance," muttered Tomoyo, causing a few girls to glare at her furiously. Tomoyo suddenly picked out a dress.

"Sakura," she said, her eyes sparkling, "This one suits you well!" Sakura looked funny at Tomoyo. She was holding up a really frilly and pink with bows and ribbons dress.

"Uh, Tomoyo," said Sakura, "That doesn't suit me… I like… this one!" She reached out and grabbed it.

Sakura was holding up a sleeveless aqua dress. It looked like it was made of silk, and small, tiny dots of glitter was all over the dress. It looked wonderful. There was a velvet blue ribbon that would be tied on the neck to match.

"Oh, Sakura, you sure have a good taste in things," cried Tomoyo. "Go on, try it!"

A few minutes later, Sakura emerged, wearing the dress. She looked good.

"Bravo!" said Tomoyo, "We'll pay for that one!"

"How about you, Tomoyo?" asked Sakura, as she walked back into the changing room.

"Don't worry," Tomoyo called from behind the door, "I got it, already."

"Are the boys done yet?" complained Chiharu, "I feel so impatient!"

"Yeah, we're done," replied a dark voice. Touya emerged, carrying all the bags, with a bouncy Nakuru behind him.

"Sorry we were late, Touya treated us an ice cream," said Nakuru.

"Actually, you MADE me buy you one," grumbled Touya.

"Oh, did I?" asked Nakuru slyly, "I don't think so."

The day of the dance…

"Argh, this is choking me," yelled Sakura. "You tied it so tight, Tomoyo!"

Tomoyo came out, wearing her outfit. "I couldn't help it," she grinned, "Here, let me help you." She loosened it a bit, and tied a blue jewel necklace the shape of a raindrop. Then, she gave Sakura a pair of earrings and a bracelet to match.

Tomoyo was wearing a white dress, and it had flowers on it. She, too, had a pair of earrings on that were the exact same as Sakura's that was red instead of blue. Her hair was tied in a knot.

They were in a large building, in which the floor was made of marble and chandeliers hung from the ceiling. The women and girls went in one room to prepare, while the boys and men in the other.

"You all look nice," remarked Naoko.

"We ALL look nice," corrected Chiharu. She wore a black with a tiny bit of white for her dress. Rika wore a skirt, and Naoko did, too.

"Sakura looks nicest of them all," announced Tomoyo. Everyone agreed. Sakura blushed.

Suddenly, three men dressed in black tuxedos and wore dark sunglasses entered the room. Everyone screamed.

"Calm down, women," they growled in unison. "Okay," they turned back to face all the girls. "All people under the age of sixteen line up here. People over can exit that door. The dance has begun." About 30 girls lined up where the men directed them.

"Follow me," they grunted. They led the girls into a room, which was the exact replica of the bigger one next door. A lot of boys and girls under the age of sixteen sat down.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" yelled a lot of those men in tuxedos. (There were a lot, now). "Dance!" everyone got nervous, so they all stood up and went to the middle of the room.

"Why are these men here?" asked Tomoyo.

"I dunno." Replied Sakura nervously.

"So…" soon, she came face to face with Syaoran. They both turned red. "So…" they started to dance clumsily. "So…" Suddenly, a pair of strong hands grabbed Sakura up. Another grabbed Syaoran. The girls started screaming, terrified. Everyone was struggling, now.

Sakura looked at Syaoran, her eyes wide with terror. "Help!" she yelled. Suddenly, pain shot through her. Her scars hadn't healed properly yet! She just realized. Syaoran was desperately trying to get away. He had to save Sakura…

Suddenly, Sakura got an idea. She raised her right leg-"Ouch, that hurts!" but she didn't want to be in these horrible hands anymore- and brought her feet crashing down on the man's toe.

"Eeeeeoooooowwwwwwww!" the man yelled. He loosened his grip on Sakura, but when she struggled to get away, he tightened his grip again. Oh, lord, this man was too strong.

Sakura stomped again. "Ooooowwwww!" the man yelped. Sakura quickly kicked the man's ankle, and this time, he let go. She scrambled off, and soon, a group of men in tuxedos were chasing after her. Her whole body ached and hurt. Then she got an idea. She quickly took out her wand, and whispered, "Release!" Then, she grabbed The Sword. "Sword!" she yelled, and her wand turned into a sword.

She turned around and pointed the sword at them, wincing in pain. "Let my friends go!" she yelled. They stopped abruptly, laughed their heads off, and fell on the ground. Eriol was standing there, in the doorway, smiling. Tomoyo and Syaoran were beside him. When Sakura went back in the room, it was deserted.

"Hey, where did everyone go?" asked Sakura.

"They went back in the big room," replied Eriol, smiling, "Don't worry, I washed away their memories, they won't be able to remember what happened to them."

"Whew, that was scary," said Tomoyo, shivering. Eriol put an arm comfortingly around Tomoyo's

shoulder. "Don't you worry," he whispered into her ear, "There's no more of that. C'mon, let's go back to the big room."

"We'll meet you guys there!" said Tomoyo. She seemed cheerful again.

"Sakura," began Syaoran in a serious tone, "what has gotten into you, these days? You could've got hurt, you know. Your scars haven't healed properly yet, and how could you go off running like that?"

Sakura smiled. Syaoran blushed. "Thanks for worrying about me," said Sakura, "But, really, I'm fine. You should stop worrying. Let's go and dance." She held Syaoran's hands, and together, they walked into the lit up doorway and disappeared in the light.
