Hey my beautiful readers! I really appreciate your reading this! I sorry if any of you think that I took a long time to update, but I have to study for these stupid tests. I mean, what's the point of taking tests anyway? Don't answer that. Deal with it. Anyway, in this chapter I promise that you'll enjoy it much! Also, I got an e-mail asking me what grade I'm in. (I will never tell!) Enjoy the story!
About the grade I'm in thing, here's a hint: My best friend Kimi-chan was born in 1990 and she's younger than me.
Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captor Sakura. CLAMP does. Got it?
oOo
"What dinner?" Sakura looked at her older brother (who was faking the seizure).
Toya sighed. "Dinner with a friend."
They were sitting at the dinner table although dinner was not present at the moment. Sakura glanced up at the clock. "Well, it's 5:46 right now...what time do we go?" She looked back at her brother. There was a moment of silence. An ugly purple vase lay in front of Toya left from Art class. He wore a red and black t-shirt and jeans. On his feet, he wore pink bunny slippers. Sakura looked down at her own outfit and sighed. She still wore her school uniform.
Toya cleared his throat. "We'll leave at 7:00." Sakura shifted uncomfortably. It was the first time there was any tension between Toya and her. 'It's all because of what happened.' Sakura thought dejectedly.
FlashbackIt was raining heavily and Toya stop pretending that he was having a seizure. The three sat at the dinner table eating from large bowls. Sakura slurped her soup noisily before setting her bowl down and wiping her face off with her sleeve. "This was a good dinner, huh?"
Toya grinned devilishly. "Not bad for a monster." He then took that as an opportunity to laugh, spitting in their faces.
Sakura made a face as she wiped off the spit. "Be quiet! Yuki liked it!"
They both looked over at Yuki. "It was delicious!" He rubbed his tummy happily. "Can I have more?" He smiled at Sakura.
Sakura smiled at him before turning to her brother and sticking her tongue out. She picked up Yuki's bowl and stood up. She walked to the kitchen and filled the bowl to the brim with her chicken noodle soup. It was steaming and Sakura winced as she held the bottom. As she turned to exit the kitchen, the back door opened. She set the bowl down quickly and turned to face the person. "Syaoran?"
Syaoran stood in front of her, dripping head to toe with water. He shook his head of the water, splashing Sakura wet. She gasped and grabbed a towel. She ran to him and wrapped it around him. As she reached around him, Syaoran reached up and pulled her into a tight hug.
"I was worried about you. I was scared that I would lose you when that thing hurt you. When I carried you to your house, I was worried still." Li whispered into her ear. "I can't live without you. I can't live without your smile, your eyes..." He was soaking her shirt. Sakura was shocked. Li Syaoran worry about her? The Li Syaoran can't live without her? Her head was spinning at rapid speed. She could hear her heart beating loudly in her chest. (OOC: Don't you hate when that happens?) And although he was wet, he provided her with a strange warmth on the inside.
"What's taking you so—" Toya opened the door and froze at the scene before him. He shook his head and walked swiftly towards the two. (OOC: Oh no! Violence!) His bunny slippers made a soft padding noise on the marble floor. (OOC: Marble? O.o) Sakura and Syaoran didn't hear him at all.
It took Toya no time to reach the two. He reached down and pulled Syaoran off Sakura roughly by the collar. "What are you doing?" He hissed.
Syaoran glared bravely at him. "I'm hugging her. Is that a problem?"
This small little remark seemed to flare Toya's anger even more. "Hell yeah!" (OOC: Oh no! Cussing! ) He turned and pushed Syaoran up to a nearby wall. "That's my sister you were hugging!"
Li smirked at him. "Are you mad?"
Sakura watched as Toya plunged his fist into the wall next to Syaoran's head. Of course Syaoran was unharmed, but Sakura still got scared for him.
Li laughed. "I'll take that as a yes." He stopped laughing and slipped to the floor. Toya watched his every movement. "Now if you'll excuse me..." He grinned at Sakura and sauntered over to her. "Ja, my pretty." He grinned at her and left the way he came in, laughing all the way.
'What's up with Syaoran?' Sakura wondered. 'He's acting differently...' Her train of thought was broken by an angry Toya.,
"You're never to see that...that boy ever again!" Toya pointed to the door. "Go to your room! I don't want to look at you!"
At this order, Sakura felt truly angry. "Don't talk to me like that! You're not dad! You can't tell me what to do!" Sakura glared at him before running out of the kitchen.
End FlashbackCome to think of it, Toya was acting pretty strange also. Sakura cleared her throat before slipping out of her chair. Toya ignored her. "I'm...I'm going upstairs now. To change for dinner with your friend." He made no response. Sakura felt a pang of hurt before turning on her heel and exiting the room. As she climbed the stairs, millions of scattered thoughts raced around her head. 'Does he hate me? Does Syaoran hate me? Why did he hug me?'
oOo
Syaoran finally woke up. He had been sleeping? He looked around him hastily and observed the scenery around him. There were about six books scattered across the floor, a glass table, and a big poofy chair—in which he sat in.
"Where is this place?" He stood up shakily before realizing that he was in his own home. "I'm so hungry..."
He grasped the doorknob, twisted it, and pulled the door open. He walked slowly out of the room, not fully recovered from his sleep. He finally made downstairs without falling asleep. He walked towards the kitchen and shivered at how the cold the tiles felt under his bare feet. He padded quickly to the fridge. He opened it quickly and looked at his choices.
"Um, I can have a hot dog, cold Yakisoba noodles, ugh is that a moldy waffle? Better take it out..." Syaoran hurried to the sink and got a pair or fire tongs. He padded back to the open fridge and pulled the waffle out, but accidentally dropping it on the floor. "Huh?" The waffle soon began to move! It slithered slowly behind the fridge where it disappeared forever. "That was weird..."
He turned back to the fridge to look at his choices. "I have sushi, Chicken Selects, Ramen!" Syaoran shut the fridge door happily. He looked into a cabinet on his right. Pushing random things aside, he reached all the way in and pulled out RAMEN! Yay! He boiled some water and began to cook the RAMEN! Yay! When it was finished, he happily sat down and ate the RAMEN! Yay! With chopsticks, by the way! While slurping his soup, he heard someone knocking at his door. He frowned at the interruption and glowered at the door. With a sigh, he stood up and ran to the door. He opened it, took one look at his visitor and felt like throwing up.
"Nihao Li! It's me!" Mei Lin stood in front of him with tens of thousands of bags. "Aren't you excited to see me?"
Syaoran held back the temptation to shut the door and run away. Mei Lin was back... Instead, he held to the door fast and gave her a shaky smile. "Hey...Mei Lin! Glad to see you!" He grinned like a crazed maniac. "Where have you been?"
Mei Lin giggled, but all the same, tried to push past him and into the house. She had no such luck. "Well, I was intending to go back home...but instead, I went to Miami, Florida!" In the background, Shar was hugging all of Mei Lin's suitcases while Sanoske laughed like a crazed maniac. "Would you like to see my tan?" She had a hand on her small belly showing shirt.
Syaoran sighed. "No? Not really." He tried to close the door ever so slowly, in hopes that she wouldn't notice. "Bye..." He slowly shut the door, but Mei Lin prevented him from doing so.
"What are you doing?"
Syaoran grinned at her. "I'm...I'm closing the door because I'm cleaning!" Syaoran smiled so much that this writer was afraid that his face would crack. "I wouldn't want your clothes to get all dirty!"
"Oh." Mei Lin kept her cheery smile on. "So, where will I go while you clean?"
Syaoran sighed and he dropped his grin. "You can come in..."
"YAY! Syaoran you're so cute! I knew you'd be so happy to see me!" Mei Lin rushed into the house, Sanoske and Shar trailing after her.
"Whoa! Who are these two?" Li's gaze shifted from Sanoske to Shar.
Mei Lin smiled. "Well, this is Sano-kun and Shar-kun! Sano-kun is a girl."
"Hey! People could tell I'm a girl!" Sanoske turned to Shar-kun. "Right?"
He nodded. "Yeah. Right."
Li sighed. He walked back to his food and nearly exploded when he saw that the Waffle had soaked up his soup. It seemed to taunt him before moving back to it's home behind the fridge.
"Mind if I stay here for a while?" Mei Lin sat on one of the plush sofas. She didn't wait for Syaoran's response. "Great!"
Li stared up at the ceiling. This author did too, but I couldn't see anything.
oOo
"Please hurry up, Nakuru!" Eriol called. It was one hour before the dinner with Momo. Eriol had on a long over coat. Under that, he had on dark denim jeans, a button up shirt with the buttons undone, and Nikes.
"I'm coming!" Nakuru appeared out of nowhere wearing a pink mini skirt going up to her thigh and a sparkly tube top. "I don't see why I have to come to this dinner."
Spinel looked at her disgustedly. "Why are you wearing that girls' outfit?"
Nakuru looked down at the cat (thing) and sighed. "We've spoken about this before, Soupy. I look cuter in girls' outfits. Besides, sex doesn't matter." She looked over at Eriol. "Let's go."
She threw on a long over similar to Eriol's except for the fact that her coat was the same color as her skirt. She had on light pink stilettos.
Eriol led her out and they walked to where Momo told Eriol her house was.
oOo
"I'm sorry I can't come with you two to this dinner. I'll drop you off and that's it." Mr. Kinomoto grinned at them. "You look wonderful Sakura."
Sakura nodded to her dad. She sat in the back seat of her father's car. She wore her hair up in two buns at the side of her head. She had on a mini dress with a short short over shirt. She wore long boots left over from one of her card captor outfits.
In short, she looked totally adorable.
Before she knew it, they were parked in front of Kira Okhawa's home. And Sakura had no idea of the night she was in for.
oOo
"Are you girls ready?" Mrs. Okhawa yelled up to her daughters' rooms.
"Yeah Mommy!" Momo called down. She arrived at the foot of the steps in a pair of capris and a cropped top. Mrs. Okhawa took one look at her Daughter and gasped. "Go back upstairs this instant young lady! Go! Go up there and change your clothes!" She shooed her daughter up the stairs and called for Kira.
Somebody hit the lights
So we can rock it day and night
People getting down that's right
From AM to PM
Everybody looking like stars
All the chicks and the fellas and the boys
All of ya'll bumpin this in your cars
From AM to PM
Kira sat in front of her mirror observing her outfit. AM to PM by Christina Milian played on her CD player. It was a totally foreign song and it drove her mother mad.
Everybody wanna get downWhen you hear the sound
When you bump the beat
365 days a year,
24 a day,

Now when you driving in your 4 by 4
And you turn this up on your stereo

Cause you know that you want more
So, find a honey that's standing on the wall,
All the girls get the guys on the floor
From the front to the back let's go
Hear this,
Wooh!
She put the finishing touches to her hair and made a kissy face to the mirror. She grinned. She wore a baby blue tank top with a pure white mini skirt. Her hair was up in two ponytails a the side of her head. The ends were curled.
Somebody hit the lights
So we can rock it day and night
People getting down that's right
From AM to PM
Everybody looking like stars
All the—
Kira shut off her stereo and let out a laugh. She looked out her window and saw a car stopping in front of her house. She gasped and ran out of her room. She stumbled down the stairs and smiled at her mother. "They're here!"
Mrs. Okhawa smiled at her daughter lovingly. "You look wonderful Kiki. I set the table and laid out the food, so we're all ready. Go get your sister while I greet our guests." Mrs. Okhawa wandered over to the door. She opened it and smiled at the three figures approaching. "Kon'nichiwa!"
Sakura looked at the woman in front of her and forced a smile.
"Come in! Come in!" She ushered the two men and the little girl into the house.
Mr. Kinomoto smiled at her. "Actually, I have to go somewhere. Sorry I can't stay, Mrs. Okhawa." Mr. Kinomoto smiled before patting his two kids on the head. "Have fun you two." He smiled before opening the door again. "Ja!"
He left and Mrs. Okhawa pushed the two onto two sofas. "Oh dear, there's the door! Better answer it!" She left the room with a giggle.
Although they couldn't see her, Sakura and Toya heard her speak. "Kon'nichiwa!"
"Hello. I've brought an apple pie." The voice seemed familiar to Sakura.
"Oh!" Mrs. Okhawa was laughing again. "Arigato!"
The door slammed shut and Eriol stepped into the room. Sakura gasped before glaring at him. The tension in the was so incredible that even Mrs. Okhawa felt it. "Well, um, when my daughters come downstairs, dinner will begin!"
"No need to wait mom." Momo stood behind her mother with a big smile on her face. When she spotted Sakura, however, her smile dropped. "Sakura? What are you doing here?"
Sakura's angry glare that was focused on Eriol soon focused onto her. "My brother was invited to dinner and I was invited to tag along."
Momo's eyes bugged out, but she forced a smile on her face because her mom was watching her. "Oh. Well, I hope you enjoy dinner." She slowly backed away and broke into a run. "KIRA! KIRA!"
Kira bounded down and grinned over at Toya. "Kon'nichiwa Toya!" Her gaze fell to Sakura. "Aaw! You're so cute! My name is—"
"Kira Okhawa!" Nakuru pointed an accusing finger at her.
"Nakuru! What are you doing here?" Kira stood up from her squatting position.
Nakuru glared at Eriol before glaring at her. "Eriol was invited and I was forced to come. It's not as if I want to be here." She added.
Kira sauntered up to her. "Don't bother making yourself comfortable." She whispered so softly that even Nakuru had trouble hearing her.
But nonetheless, she answered back. "I won't."
Mrs. Okhawa left the room to fix up the table. Momo took her mother's absence to her advantage by going up to Sakura. Sakura stood up and took a step towards her enemy.
"Better watch your step, Kinomoto." Momo hissed.
"Better watch your back, Okhawa." Sakura said venomously.
Mrs. Okhawa took it to her to break the tension between the five. (Including Eriol) "Um, time for dinner!"
oOo
"Anyway, while in Florida, I hit the shopping and the beach! It was total fun!" Mei Lin grinned over at Li. "I bought you something."
Li sighed. They were eating dinner, but Syaoran wasn't enjoying it one bit. "Great."
"Actually, I bought you lots of things!" Mei Lin clapped her hands excitedly. "Shar-kun!"
Shar appeared out of nowhere with three of Mei Lin's suitcases. "Lucky dog." He bent down and opened all of them. Mei Lin reached inside and pulled out twenty-two Inuyasha manga books, six hats in different colors that had his name sewn onto them, thirteen shirts, two inflatable beach balls, three stuffed animals, and six swimming trunks. From the second suitcase, she pulled out eighteen Ranma ½ manga, two Shaolin Sisters manga, sixteen different pairs of sunglasses, and thirty-four key chains. In the last suitcase, she pulled out twelve postcards, a monkey, and a stuffed flamingo.
"Do you like them?" Mei Lin giggled happily.
Syaoran stared in horror as the monkey began to eat from his plate. It looked up at him and grinned. It was the last thing Li saw before fainting.
Mei Lin looked down at his unconscious form and gulped. "I guess he was so overwhelmed at all the things."
Sanoske cleared her throat. "Maybe the monkey frightened him."
Mei Lin picked the monkey up and cooed at it. "No, it can't be that. Emerald is too cute!"
Shar poked Li and jumped back when he twitched. "He moved!"
oOo
