~*Story*~
~Couple of weeks later~
Hong Kong ~*~*~*~*~
A very tired amber-eyed male walked into the kitchen of his well- furnished condo to see his roommate already up and ready to go for the day. "Someone looks a little to happy for a Monday morning." Syaoran commented dryly as he poured himself a bowl of cereal. He had exactly seventeen days, four hours, and 32 minutes until he was done with collage and the time couldn't pass by fast enough.
"Well if you didn't spend all night with your girlfriend 'STUDYING' just maybe you'd have a little energy to get through class, pass the final and finally be out on your own." He light green eyed friend said before stuffing another spoonful of Fruit Loops into his mouth.
"Oh shove it Kaleb." He went to the refrigerator and pulled out the milk. "I wasn't gone all night and we did study."
"Yea, maybe for the first five minutes before you two were all over each other!" Kaleb shot back with a smirk on his face.
"Oh forget it! I don't have time for this." With that Syaoran got a spoon out of the drawer and headed to his room with his bowl full of cereal.
"Told ya that's what you guys did!" Kaleb yelled as he heard the door to Syaoran's room slam.
Tokyo ~*~*~
"Sakura," Tomoyo yelled while franticly running around the spacious mansion. "Are you ready to go yet?" she screamed so she could be heard over the loud music pumping through the house.
"Tomoyo! Chill out!" Mei Lin scolded. "I'm sure she's almost ready."
~In the Bathroom~
"Mom, Dad." A beautiful young woman with auburn locks and emerald eyes that sparkled with unshed tears spoke looking at the framed picture of two people in each other's arms, smiling at the camera. "I miss you so much." She said as a crystal tear slid down her cheek.
Today was a big day. Not only was it the anniversary of her parents' death but today was one of the biggest days of her life. Today the company that her parents had started before they died, would be handed over to her. Two years after their death she would take over as head of the corporation. Of course for her it was just another front she put out to the world to hide from all the pain that was inside. But this would mean more money for her other interests. She wouldn't have spend more of her saved inheritance money. And would feel better about earning real money instead of it just being handed to her.
She wiped the tears that had begun to roll down her cheek away. She checked her reflection one last time. Tonight was a formal occasion and required them to dress up. Something she always loved to do anyway. But for her and the girls it was just another reason to go shopping.
She laughed thinking about her friends. Tomoyo was taking this so seriously. She was so worried about making the wrong impression. Mei Lin of course thought of it as another party. And she herself thought of it as a way to carry on with life. Start another adventure.
Who knew that the night would turn out to be a total disaster. And some of the ones you cared for the most would be taken.
~In Sakura's room~
The bathroom door opened to reveal Sakura dressed in a dark green evening gown that brought out her eyes perfectly. The tube top dress with a tight fitting style showed off her perfect body, revealing all her feminine curves.
"Wow gurl!" Mei Lin said in awe. " Somebody is going to be turning heads tonight!"
"Mei Lin!" Sakura said walking over to her dresser and putting in her diamond earrings. "You and Tomoyo look better than I do!" She whined glancing at her friends. Tomoyo had a one-shoulder navy floor length gown with gemstones that cascaded down from the top. Mei Lin was wearing a red halter gown. It had a low cut neckline with nothing special. But with Mei Lin's sparkling necklace, bracelet and matching earrings. She looked nothing less than classy.
All of a sudden there was a knock on the door and then opened revealing three handsomely dressed men. All wearing black tuxes that clung to their bodies perfectly in all the right places.
"Looks like we wont be the only ones turning heads tonight." Tomoyo said as she walked up to Eriol and wrapped her arms around his neck. He softly kissed her on the lips while the other two entered the room.
"I think we've just died and gone to heaven boys because I see three beautiful angels standing in this room!" Hunter said as he walked up to Sakura and engulfed her in a hug.
"Chris, you say anything that's anywhere near as cheesy as those to and you and turn around and walk right back out that door!" Mei Lin playfully warned as Chris came up to her and put his arms around her waist.
"Why would I do anything like that?" he asked with puppy dog eyes. " All I wanted to say was that you looked very nice when you're all cleaned up."
Mei Lin just glared at him. "So I don't look nice any other time?" She asked as she turned away from him and crossed her arms over her chest, trying to hold back the smile that was threatening to uncover her true feelings.
"No no no. To me you look beautiful Twenty-four seven, Three sixty- five days a years!" he whispered into her ear.
With that she let out a full-blown smile turned and caught him in a passionate kiss.
"Could you guys save it?" Sakura asked in fake irritation. "If we don't get a move on now we're going to be late for the dinner."
"Ok, Ok." Both Tomoyo and Mei Lin said at the same time. Everyone burst out laughing as they headed toward the door.
Hong Kong ~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Baby." Syaoran said as he came up behind a girl with long brown hair. When she turned around her bright blue eyes came face to face with a single red rose.
"Syaoran! You shouldn't have!" She said as she took the rose and jumped into is arms, wrapping her arms around his neck in a tight hug. " Thank you."
"No problem." He smiled at her eagerness. She truly was different. No matter what she always had a smile on her face and nothing he did could make her made. "To dinner, shall we?" he asked, taking her hand and leading her to his new Cadillac Escalade. After shutting her door he hurried around to the other side before jumping in.
Melissa looked at the guy beside her as he took her hand and they stayed like that for the rest of the way to the restaurant. Many thoughts running through her head as she looked out the window. She had been sent here to keep Syaoran's mind off his past life in Tokyo. He wasn't to have any contact with his cousin or anyone from Tokyo period. She knew she was in love with Hunter before they put this little plan into action. But Syaoran was just such a sweet guy she didn't know if she could leave him after tonight. Something had changed after the past couple of years. But after thinking about Hunter and his dark brown hair and bright golden eyes. It brought all the memories back. And she wanted nothing but to hold him and love him like they used to. The plan was fool proof. Tonight the little brat Sakura had her little dinner party as a welcome to the company thing. They would never expect something to happen there of all places, so they wont be armed, or not enough to save them anyway. While there Hunter will ask Mei Lin to come help him with a surprise present for Sakura in the back room. Then he was to lead her to a back ally. Knock her out. Stuff her in a van. And high tail it out of there. Then once they meet up they would take her to a secret location and hold her for ransom. Being the only Li female in line plus being friends with Sakura who would pay anything to get her friend back they should make a nice profit. She inwardly laughed at the whole scheme. This would be great. And since Syaoran would get the blame for not caring after his cousin, who knows what they would do to him. It would definitely be enough payback for all the trouble he caused Hunter growing up. A squeeze of her hand brought her attention back to the car she was in.
"We're here." Syaoran said before getting out of the car to open the door for her. He had a to-die-for body. 'May as well enjoy it one last time before you never see him again.' She thought to herself. This was going to be quiet a fun evening.
Tokyo ~*~*~
"Ladies and gentlemen," an ageing man with gray hair spoke to the crowd full of many different people that were all there for one reason. " It's my pleasure to introduce you to our new president and owner of Kinimoto Enterprises." The entire room broke into applause as Sakura stood and made her way to the stage.
"Thank you. Thank you." She said to the crowd that was still applauding. When the noise died down a bit she began her speech.
~At The Table~
"Hey Mei Lin will you come help he with a gift I got for Sakura?" Hunter asked in her ear as he leaned across the table. "I need your opinion on something as well."
"Sure." She answered as she got up to follow him. On the way they passed Tomoyo who was on her way back from the restroom.
"Hey guys!" Tomoyo cheerfully greeted. "Where are you going?" she asked as she tilted her head to the side.
"Hunter got Sakura a surprise and asked if I would help him." She answered. "We'll be back in a flash so don't worry." She assured with a smile and began to follow Hunter again.
Tomoyo watched them go but had a strange sensation in the bottom of her stomach. Something just didn't feel right. When she got back to the table she told Eriol about her feeling and he said it was probably nothing. A few minutes passed and when the feeing didn't go away and Mei Lin didn't return, Tomoyo excused herself again and said she was going to go see if they needed any help.
After going down a long hall that an usher said that Mei Lin and Hunter had come to she came to a joining hallway. She could go left or right and something in her stomach told her to go right. She followed it until she saw a door that was partly opened and decided to see what was on the other side. It lead to an ally way behind the building.
Tomoyo was about to go back in when she looked down a few yards and what she saw made her sick to her stomach. All she wanted to do was cry out but couldn't find the strength to move. Hunter had just hit Mei Lin over the head with some kind of pipe and was putting her in the back of a black van with the help of some other people she didn't recognize.
"Stop!" she screamed but Hunter just looked up at her and smiled. Then he climbed into the passenger seat of the van and took off down the ally.
Tomoyo stood there stunned for a few seconds before it all sank in. Then tears began to stream down her face as she rushed back into the building. She ran as fast as she could down the halls of the elegant building. She almost knocked a few people over but was in such a rush it didn't even register.
She burst into the room full of people. Out of breath and tears streaming down her face everyone's attention was soon focused on her. But there was only one person she was looking for at the moment and she was standing on stage with worried eyes locked onto hers that were full of panic.
