Chapter 11:-Drinking Game.

Sakura was sitting in the girl's hall sincerely writing her new story...

No, that wasn't right. She was watching a movie with her fellow bachelor girls and eating Doritos.

You might as well be honest, right?

" Love is a many splendor thing! Love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love! "

Sakura munched dourly on a Dorito as she watched Ewan McGregor sing his heart out to Nicole Kidman on the small screen.

" Why can't the world be more like the world in Moulin Rouge? Why couldn't everyone sing beautifully and fall in love as sparkles fall from the sky? " Kasumi wailed dramatically.

"Why weren't all men as sweet and romantic as Ewan McGregor's character? " Ashley added sighing a bit.

" Reality doesn't work that way " Airo stated sourly.

Sakura reached into the bag for another Dorito, only to get it snatched by Kasumi.

"Sakura ! " Kasumi screeched and threw the bag in the garbage.

" How dare you ?" sheexclaimed giving her a look of total disapproval "You're stomach will get flabby if you eat junk food "

" Don't you even care about your diet ?" Airojoined in withan accusing glare.

Sakura scowled "Diet is just 'Die' with a 't' at the end. Besides whoever heard of a girl getting flabby eating one bag of dorito? "

"You should never take chances Sakura " Kasumi said exasperated.

Sakura shook her head at their craziness and went back to watching the movie.

Ewan and Nicole were kissing each other passionately.

" Must be nice. Perfect Nicole gets to kiss the hot, sweet guy who has a great voice " Ashley spat out glaring at the small screen.

"I didn't get to kiss Syaoran like that, I hope she dies in the ending " Airo added sulkily.

"Amen to that " Sakura replied sweat dropping.

Ashley giggled. "ooooh, I still can't believe we'll be interviewed by that Hunky hottey Akira though"

" He has such soft and shiny teal hair..." Kasumi said softly in a dreamy voice.

" Enticing blue-grey eyes.." Airo added with a sigh.

" Big hands..." Kourin said earning an eye roll from all the girls.

Akira is here since according to the Bachelor show one of Syaoran's friend should come and askquestions to the girls and give Syaoran the report on their personality from his P.O.V.

Sakura found out this right after she stomped inside the mansion, it seems Shiefa had told the girls while she and Naoko were outside.

Sakura sighed "First Syaoran and now, you're all fawning over his best friend. You guys are hopeless. "

" Tsk.tsk. " Kasumi tutted "Haven't you heard the saying 'Beauty should be appreciated', Sakura? "

" That's not a saying " Naoko pointed out dryly.

Kasumi ignored her " And Akira just happened to have it... a lot ! " she said giggling a bit "So we should appreciate him "

"Those eyes.. they just struck my heart the moment I saw him " Ashley said softly.

"That's a lie. If it did strike her heart, she'd be dead and we wouldn't have to hear her" Sakura whispered fiercely into Naoko's ear.

Naoko laughed "My, my sarcasm has become of you Sakura "

Sakura grinned " Hang around Syaoran, you'll be an expert in no time "

Shiefa Liang strode into the hall and looked at the movie " Oh no, I missed the elephant kiss " She said in disappointment.

"You're in time for Ewan's very brief shirtless scene, though. " Ashley declared.

" Oooh, yummy. " Kourin drooled.

Shiefa smiled at them "By the way, the interview starts in fifteen minutes, get ready " she said and went out.

Soon all the girls except for Naoko and Sakura were getting into a frenzy.

"Oh my gosh, I wonder what he'll write about my personality " Ashley pondered aloud. She then went off to get refreshed, more like re-make up, along with the other girls.

Sakura smirked "Her personality ? It's not that hard to figure out, just take a look at her dress! "

"What would you call that, shirt ?" Naoko mused.

Sakura smiled " Try low-cut tube top, that's more fitting "

Naoko laughed "I have no idea how you can share a room with her Sakura"

"Believe me it's hell. Every time she's like 'Sakura you have seen my shirt?' or 'OMG, I so did not put my lipstick there, have you been taking my stuff ?' she's too unbearable " Sakura said sulking.

A little later, all the girls came back and started chatting about the show.

"I wonder which one of us will get Syaoran at the end .." Kourin pondered aloud.

Airo sighed "It could be be anyone. You, me, Kasumi, Naoko or even Sakura. Well, probably not Sakura (and she gave Sakura a quick flash of teeth) but you know what I mean. "

The four girls giggled "So it's going to be among the five of us "

Sakura swallowed to keep her temper in check. They were right; she wasn't going to be The One he picked to marry or whatever, but they could at least include her...

Before Sakura could stop herself, she said the dratted words. " Remember girls? I'm playing hard-to-get? "

" Oh, so you really were! " Kasumi yelled and all of the girls squealed joyfully. "You sly devil you ! "

Sakura wanted to hit her head against the wall. ' Out of all the things I could have said, I just had to say that one' she thought ruefully.

OoOoOoOoO

All the bachelor girls went downstairs and sat around the couches each waiting for their turn in the interview.

Akira showed up wearing a sweat shirt and jeans. "Hi, How you doin? " he said with a wink.

The girls swooned except Sakura and Naoko who merely raised an eye brow at him.

Akira grinned at them sheepishly "The first one is...Airo "

Airo got up and left the room with Akira .

" What kind of questions do you think he'll ask? " Kasumi asked worriedly.

" Oh, probably stuff like, kids and where you want to live, and careers " Ashley assured her.

Kasumi's brows furrowed but she nodded.

Twenty minutes later (Kourin was timing) Airo came back, smiling widely.

"Akira said that Syaoran picked the questions. They're really good. I aced it! " she said happily.

Akira stuck his head in the door and called Kasumi , who hurriedly followed him, looking a bit anxious.

To spend the time, Sakura took out a book and began to read it, trying her best to avoid listening to the gossip the girls were talking.

Topics ranged from fashion, accessorizing, Syaoran, Akira and fat-free food.

"Did you know that Mc.Donald's are going in for diet foods? Imagine, no more oily french fries or that cheesy burger ! "

" Really? "

"Yeah, They're going to sell food that have calories and no fat at all "

" Ew, they'll taste terrible then. "

" No! My cousin works there and he said they will actually be quite good. "

"Oooh, then I'll try them out sometime. I heard that Pamela Anderson is smitten over a guy called Jason! "

" No way! You think they'll get married? "

"I don't know, even if they did how long do you think it'll last?"

"I bet it'll last longer than Britney Spear's 56 hour wedding though "

Somewhere between Britney's second marriage and her being pregnant, Sakura tuned out. When she tuned back in, she realized that Kasumi was back and Ashley was gone.

Kasumi was sparkling with joy as she came back in. "It was wonderful. I'm sure he was impressed "

Soon Naoko was gone and it took her a longer time than anybody else to come back. And when she did , Naoko had a slight pink in her cheeks.

" It's your turn Sakura " Naoko said and joined the girls.

Sakura nodded and followed Akira inside the question-room as the girls called it.

Akira sat on a couch opposite to Sakura and took some papers. " Syaoran said he had special questions for you. Should we start with that? "

Sakura frowned and shrugged.

" Okay then. If by some unfortunatetwisted fate you and Syaoran were stuck in a boat in the middle of the sea. What will you do ? "

Sakura laughed " I'll feed him to the poor hungry sharks of course ! "

However, that was the only question that Sakura really appreciated out of the rest of them. Obviously, Syaoran wanted to piss her off .

"Are you a virgin?"

Sakura head snapped up and she narrowed her eyes " Yes " she said testily.

Akira grinned at the next question "Where would you prefer to have sex? On the beach or in the bed? "

Sakura blushed, " Erm, bed, " she finally said, her face turning various shades of tomato.

Akira laughed " Syaoran feels the same way, said the beach can be a bit uncomfortable "

Sakura wanted to burn the papers on which the questions were written.

Akira kept smiling " How many times a day would you have sex? "

Sakura pursed her lips. " I'm not going to answer that. "

Akira shrugged. " Fine, moving on. How many kids do you want? "

Sakura relaxed. Finally a question she could answer. " I'm not a big family person, so I suppose maybe one. Maximum two "

"What are your turn on's ?"

Sakura growled and ripped the paper apart. " I'm going to kill Syaoran. Painfully and slowly " she said angrily

Akira laughed " This interview is over then, see you later Sakura "

Sakura nodded and rushed out of the room her hands itching to strangle a certain messy haired bachelor.

OoOoOoOoO

Sakura went inside the girls hall seething with anger.

Naoko took one look at her and rolled her eyes. Here we go again she thought sourly.

" I hope he dies a horrible and painful death ! " Sakura yelled pacing around the room.

" I think she is talking about Syaoran " Kasumi mused loudly.

Naoko shot her a dry look " Really? I would've never guessed.. "

" I bet he made Akira ask some stupid question " Kasumi said " So I suppose now she's insulted?"

" Naturally " Naoko retorted before Sakura had a chance to answer.

"She's very predictable," Kasumi confided to Naoko in a loud whisper.

" Very," Naoko agreed, nodding.

"She has a temper to boot, too." Kasumi stated.

" She must fly into a rage about five times a day," Naoko murmured, her expression very serious indeed.

" Such a pity," Kasumi said with a theatric sigh.

" Would you two stop talking about me like I'm not even here!" Sakura demanded in an overly loud voice.

Naoko winced. "Good volume, though," she commented rather cheerfully.

Sakura smacked her hand sharply against her forehead.

"Ouch," Kasumi said without even twitching an eye.

Sakura groaned "You guys aren't helping !"

" Have we ever ?" Kasumi asked raising an eyebrow.

Sakura scowled "I guess not ."

" There you go. " Naoko said in soothing voice " You finally found the reason ".

" Why did I even come here? I should be out there getting revenge on Syaoran " she wondered aloud.

Naoko shrugged " Beats me. Maybe you're just stupid. "

" And maybe you guys are being a grouchy git " Sakura retorted. "Anyway, I'm off to get my revenge !"

"May the force be with you ! " Kasumi said earning a laugh from Naoko and an indignant cry from Sakura who went out.

OoOoOoOoO

' Where is that dweeb? ' Sakura thought to herself and then found Syaoran sitting in the main hall of the mansion.

" You ! " Sakura cried and came over towards him.

Syaoran cocked his head to the side and gave her a questioning look.

" You!" Sakura said again.

Syaoran smirked "I have a name, you know. "

"You !" Sakura said yet again.

Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Yes, me. I thought you were supposed to be smart?" he said raising an eyebrow.

" How could you write those questions for the interview ? You ..you..." Sakura seemed unable to speak.

Syaoran grinned, and quickly flicked her on the chin. Sakura's cheeks immediately grew hot, and her eyes shone with indignation.

"What was that for!" she screeched.

Syaoran chuckled " I was just trying to help your mouth get moving," he said innocently. "It obviously worked. You should thank me."

Sakura made as if to whack him with her hand, but Syaoran, having excellent martial art skills , dodged it.

"You ought to work on your reflexes," he told her gravely.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Sakura shrieked.

" I'm not," Syaoran informed her. "It was only a suggestion."

This time, she kicked. Syaoran jumped back, out of range.

" You missed," he pointed out smirking at her.

"I know that!"

" I was only informing you that your foot didn't make contact with my shin," Syaoran said seriously and continued.

"I'm really the only person, after all, who can tell you for sure whether or not you actually managed to touch my shin with your f -"

"SHUT UP!"

Syaoran winced and put a hand to his ear "Good vocal range."

With a final shriek of fury Sakura stomped on his foot the way she always did to her brother ,Touya, and ran laughing as she heard the many curses from Syaoran.

OoOoOoOoO

Sakura went inside the girls hall her smile intact and found Naoko and Kasumi sitting there. Kasumi was putting on her make up for maybe the 10th time that day.

" Glad you're back Sakura. We were bored without you," Kasumi said bluntly, still gazing at her reflection.

Sakura put a hand mockingly over her heart. "Aww," she simpered. "I'm touched."

Kasumi snapped her compact shut, and rolled her mascaraed eyes.

" Geek " Naoko accused.

Sakura grinned. " How'd ya guess?" she asked.

" Fairly easily," Kasumi replied, her tone dry. "After all, you have 'loser' written right across your forehead."

Sakura laughed " Drats, it gave away huh? "

Naoko raised an eyebrow "You look awfully happy. Let me guess your revenge was a success ?"

Sakura smirked " I gave him a good stomp in the feet. oh you should've seen it, the stupid jerk was so much in pain "

Kasumi frowned "Don't talk about Syaoran like that! He's not so bad .. " she told trying to sound reasonable.

"Of course not " Sakura agreed causing Naoko and Kasumi to stare at her their jaws dropped.

Sakura smirked at them " He's only a little nuts !" she said and her two friends shot her annoyed looks.

"Can we go out. I'm getting a little claustrophobic in here " Naoko exclaimed with frustration.

Kasumi shook her head "Sorry, I can't. I have a facial pack to make with Airo, you guys go ahead "

Sakura nodded and she followed Naoko outside to the lawns.

Naoko took a deep breath "It feels good to be outside.." she said sighing happily.

Before Sakura could reply she saw Syaoran and Akira standing near the door whispering something and laughing loudly.

Naoko turned around and gave them a questioning look. They continued to whisper pointing at the girls.

Sakura scowled " What! Do we have something on our face? " she asked aloud.

That caused them to laugh harder, and Sakura clenched her fists " Hey! Tell me what's so funny? "

Akira was the first to compose himself. He walked over to Naoko and startled her by taking both her hands in his.

"A-Akira ! What are you doing! " Naoko stuttered.

"Naoko..."

" Wh-what? Why are you looking at me like that? "

Akira's face split into a grin and Naoko took a step back. " Are you a kleptomaniac, or did you steal my heart on purpose? "

" Wh-what! Akira ! " Naoko cried her cheeks reddening.

Sakura watched in horror as Syaoran came over to her, eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Don't you dare tell me one of those pick up lines.." Sakura threatened taking a step back.

"Actually I have a question for you " Syaoran said innocently.

"What is it?"

"Will you bear my child ? " Syaoran asked trying to look serious but failing miserably.

" Syaoran!" Sakura yelled out of embarrassment.

Syaoran laughed and jumped back, just in time to dodge a fist that was aimed at his stomach.

Akira smiled at this and faced the blushing Naoko again " I have a question for you too "

" If you ask me to bear your children.." Naoko warned.

" I have more class than that. " Akira grinned. " Hey, Naoko. Do you sleep on your stomach? "

Naoko looked at him skeptically. "No. Why? "

" Can I? "

" AKIRA ! "

" Oi, Akira !" Syaoran called, starting to laugh again." They're gunna blow! "

Akira snickered and turned around, running quickly, Syaoran right at his ankles.

Now, would you let someone get away with something like that? That's right you won't. So Naoko and Sakura chased them, yelling obscenities at their bare backs.

Syaoran looked over his shoulder at Sakura, nearly doubling over from laughing. " Hey, Sakura ? "

" What ?"

" Are those reeeal ? "

"SYAORAAAAAN ! "

And so the chasing continued, but the boys were too fast and hence Sakura and Naoko couldn't catch them. They now sat on the snow out of breath.

"I'm going to kill that Akira " Naoko said gasping for breath.

"Syaoran will perish along with him " Sakura said snidely and dropped her head back in the snow in tiredness.

"We should go back in.." Naoko stated.

"Yeah, I'm getting up right now..." Sakura said although she made no moves to get up.

"Me too, any second now..." Naoko said placing her head in a lump of snow "any second now..."

OoOoOoOoO

1 hour, 30 minutes and 20 seconds later...

"C-Can't b-believe i-it took us t-this long " Naoko said her teeth chattering as she and Sakura made their way up the stairs.

"W-we would've f-frozen to death, I-I'll kill t-that b-bastard " Sakura replied.

As they entered Kasumi rushed towards them "Oh my god! What were you doing outside! Your lips are blue !"

Naoko and Sakura shot her a glare too peeved to reply.

"Hey give them some wine! They'll warm up " Airo said from the couch.

Kasumi nodded and came back with 2 bottles which Sakura and Naoko accepted gratefully.

"You know while we're at it, let's play a drinking game! " Ashley said gleefully.

All the girls nodded. " Then it's settled " Ashley said firmly. " Let the games begin! "

" Have you ever played a drinking game before, Sakura ?" Airo asked her.

Sakura shook her head.

"Ok " Kasumi said a couple of minutes later, after they'd settled down. " Should I explain the rules? "

Naoko and Airo shrugged, and Kasumi took that as a 'yes'.

"It's simple " she said. " We go around in a circle and take turns saying something you've never done before, like... ' I've never puked on a roller coaster. ' And if anyone else in the group has done it, then they have to take a drink. Got it? "

" I'll go first. " Ashley paused for a minute, then said, her eyes glittering: " I've never watched porn "

There was a pause. Then, blushing hotly, Sakura took a sip of her wine and so did Kourin. Though no one was surprised at Kourin they all gawked at Sakura.

"And we all thought you were naive and innocent ! " Kasumi chortled.

Sakura glared at her "It was my brothers ! I put it on by mistake"

" It's okay, Sakura " Kourin giggled " I completely understand. "

The tip of Sakura's ears let off steam.

" My turn. " Sakura stared into her glass for a moment, then said " I've never gone to third base with anyone. "

Kourin, Ashley and Airo took a gulp of wine.

Naoko rolled her eyes at the girls, then said softly: "I've never shoplifted."

Sakura took another big gulp of wine to everyone's surprise. "I was seven " she explained at their questioning look. " I didn't know any better. "

"Riiight "Kourin snorted. Sakura made a face at her.

It was Airo's turn.She scratched her head to come up with something.

" I have...um...never failed a test ! "she finally exclaimed with a smile.

Sakura, Ashley and Kourin sent her disgusted looks before taking drinks. Airo stared sheepishly into her lap.

And on it went, with Sakura taking bigger gulps each time, and the other girls, except Naoko who didn't drink much, beginning to sway on their seats.

The bottle now empty, Kasumi poured the remnants of her wine into her mouth, and hiccupped.

" No more - hic- no more " she muttered, peering blearily into her glass.

Sakura held out her half-full glass, a lopsided smile on her lips. " Have shome o' mine. "

" Why, thankee " Kasumi beamed ecstatically at her, then drained the offered glass in one big gulp.

" Oopsh " she slurred, staring down at the empty glass in her hand. " Me dranksh it all. "

" I have enogh, I don't feel sho...sho good." As though to prove her words, Sakura's shoulders heaved, and clamping a hand over her mouth, she staggered out

Naoko sighed watching all this and then a brilliant plan struck her. She walked over to Sakura's room and came back with Syaoran's jacket.

" Hey Sakura, why don't you go and give it back to him ? " Naoko asked smiling at Sakura as she came back from the bathroom.

Sakura nodded too drunk to think about what may come out of this little escapade Naoko put her in. She grabbed the jacket and went down the stairs.

Sakura managed to get outside and to her favorite spot in the mansion. She saw a figure standing there and knew it was Syaoran.

" I brought your jacket Syaoran " Sakura said slurring a bit.

Syaoran raised an eye brow at her "You're drunk" he stated bluntly.

Sakura smiled "Ofcourse not. " she said coming towards him but she stumbled on a rock.

Syaoran grabbed her from falling down and looked at her frowning "You're definitely drunk "

Sakura giggled and to Syaoran's surprise she leaned her head on his shoulder.

Sakura snuggled closer causing his cheek to redden slightly " you smell like peppermint..." she whispered after a few moments of silence.

Syaoran smiled slightly and hesitantly put his arms around her.

" I brushed my teeth " she informed him suddenly. Syaoran blinked, then laughed. She was like a child.

" I didn't like the taste of vomit " she explained, her eyes growing distant. " But now I can't taste it at all. "

" That's good " Syaoran said in a patronising voice "Let's get you inside, before you embarrass yourself even more" he added.

"You wanna see? "

" See what? "

" I can prove it to you " Sakura whispered, staring up at him. "I can prove I brushed my teeth. Kiss me Syaoran."
