Mischievous Love
~starjade~
In Which Sakura
Decides to Fly
" Tomoyo? Tomoyo!" Sakura yelled , her skates flying every which way in her excitement. She skated up the curb , and jumped over Sonomi's rose bushes.
She sped down the long driveway , and after conferring with the guard , burst through the mahogany doors.
" TOMOYO!" she screeched and footsteps pounded down the stairs. Sakura hopped from one skate clad foot to the other , waiting impatiently for her best friend to come. Soon , a dark haired , amethyst eyed woman came bounding towards her.
" What is it , Sakura?" she asked , her eyes wide with worry.
Sakura grinned enormously , and tipped her head back , laughing.
" You never told me!" Sakura burst out , grabbing Tomoyo's hands and swinging her around. Tomoyo giggled at Sakura's giddiness , her face still scrunched up with confusion. What was Sakura getting at? And why was she so EXTRA happy?
" Okay , Sakura! Calm Down! Tell me what your talking about!!" Tomoyo demanded trying to seat the giddy Sakura down. Sakura sat down for two seconds before leaping up again.
" This is soooo cool! We are going to have so much fun!" Sakura smiled , holding out her arms and spinning in a circle. She forgot about her skates and fell down promptly. She quickly took her skates off , muttering under her breath.
Tomoyo shook her head at Sakura's silliness. " Okay , Sakura. Tell me clearly. What are you TALKING ABOUT? I'm in the dark here!!"
Sakura just smiled blissfully. " Since we know Chinese , it's going to be easier , isn't it??"
Tomoyo's jaw dropped. " Excuse me? Why do we have to know Chinese?"
Sakura just flopped on her back and grinned up at Tomoyo.
" Didn't your mother tell you? We're moving to Hong Kong!!!" Sakura squealed , clapping her hands.
Tomoyo felt herself grow dizzy. " Whaaa..." she said , as the information sunk in.
" You and Me..." Sakura enunciated slowly , her eyes bright , " Are going to Hong Kong for a year!! Isn't it exciting???"
Tomoyo smiled faintly. Yes....that was very exciting. Too bad she wasn't ready for it.
THUMP.
" Tomoyo? Tomoyo? Why did you just faint??? Answer me!"

Syaoran walked home , ignoring the consistent chatter at his arm. He looked around at his neighbourhood and sighed. Eriol had this big dream that he was going to decorate all of Hong Kong with Toilet Paper. Sure would be funny to see the Li Mansion decorated in toilet paper....
Going on...
" Xio-lang??? XIO-LANG ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME????" Meiling screeched , her hair standing on end , her eyes electrifying. Her hair turned poofy with bolts of lightning and her clothes flashed red and black. Syaoran jumped back from the angry girl , shocked.
" Uh...no , I was listening..." Syaoran stuttered. Quick as can be , Meiling smiled , and latched onto his arm once more. Her clothes turned normal and her hair flitted down to the silky odangos again.
" Like I was saying...there was this new dress at the mall! Only fifty dollars , and I was like , wow..."
As she continued to chatter , Syaoran groaned underneath his breath. Why me? He thought. Why me? He had to do something about Meiling fast! He had to call Eriol...maybe they can play a matchmaker prank. He heard Yamazaki had broken up with Chiharu...nah , they were crazy over each other.
Hmm....this was hard! No wonder , Meiling was always following him! No other guy could stand her!!
" Look , Meiling , we're home!" Syaoran announced , his voice relieved. Meiling stared at him suspiciously , before grinning and hopping along.
" Tomorrow , we're going to go on a picnic! Okay , my Xio-Lang? It'll be so romantic!!" Meiling said in a hushed voice , hearts in her eyes.
Syaoran sweat dropped and tried to walk past her. " I am not YOURS , Meiling!"
Meiling crossed her arms. " Hmpf. Be that way. I'll just tell Yelan your being mean to me-"
" FINE FINE! For gods sake , Meiling , you are..." He opened the door to the mansion , and a serious Wei met his eyes.
" Wei? Why do you look so...worried?" Syaoran asked , confused.
Wei shook his head. " Come with me , Xio-Lang."
Syaoran stared at Meiling and she shrugged. They both removed their school bags and followed Wei into the Living room , where Yelan and all his sisters sat solemnly.
" What's wrong?" he asked , confused.
Yelan stared at him and shook her head. " Today , we have received a call from your school."
Syaoran gulped. Uh oh...
" We know you and Eriol are close...but your actions are unacceptable! Today , after setting stink bombs and whoopee cushions under the student's chairs ..."
Yelan went on and on with her speech and Syaoran hung his head obediently. He hated whenever this happened. He always had to get a dressing down by his mother , then by the elders....
It just made him want to show them all once more.
" Yes , Mother."
" No, Mother."
" I promise , Mother."
That was all he said , at the right intervals. Her speeches were always alike. He sighed , bored.
"-this time , Syaoran , you will serve punishment by me , not by the elders."
Syaoran's head jerked up , shocked. What? Did she just say...
" Mother...." he trailed off , his amber eyes wide.
Yelan nodded , and his sisters giggled. " I will make sure this punishment will prevent you from ever being so silly at school again."
Meiling stifled laughter behind him and Syaoran glared at her. Meiling knew that he was hardly silly....that was exactly the opposite of Syaoran.
" What is my punishment , Mother?" Syaoran asked , his voice revealing the hint of curiosity. Yelan's punishments were always....interesting , if you could call them that.
Yelan got up from her seat , and put her hands behind her back. She rose her head regally and looked at Syaoran straight in the eye.
" You will have the task of becoming friends with-"
Syaoran's eyes widened. NOOOO! He screamed inside his head. That was absolutely the WORST punishment in the WORLD! Becoming FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE???? What horror!
" Mother , please!" He protested , but Yelan rose her hand to prevent any other protests.
" No , Syaoran. This punishment MUST be carried out. You will have to be friends with Mr. Kinomoto's daughter."
Syaoran's fists clenched. " WHAT? IS THAT A PUNISHMENT? BECOMING FRIENDS WITH A STUPID GIRL?" He burst out and everyone in the room leaned back , shocked at his behaviour.
Yelan just shrugged. " He will be moving here in two days from Japan , and will settle down in our area. In fact , right next door."
Syaoran looked down , his cheeks aflame with his anger.
" You will see to it that you will help her adapt to Hong Kong life , show her around , help her with school work , since she will be in your grade , your class and your school."
Syaoran narrowed his eyes. " I bet that you had something to do with that!"
Yelan once more shrugged. " I cannot comment on that remark."
Syaoran just threw up his hands." FINE , mother. I WILL. I'll be NICE to this STRANGER! Okay???"
With that , he twisted on his heel and stomped up the stairs to his room. Meiling glared at everyone in the room , before also turning away. So they want him to be 'friends' with a girl , eh? Not in my life! Meiling thought , her face scrunching up in determination.
Yelan sighed and sat back down , as the girls tittered. Someday , Syaoran , she thought. You'll thank me.
For bringing you to your soul mate.

Sakura bounced up and down in the airplane seat , excitedly. It was the first time she was ever on a plane , before.
" Father! Touya! Yukito! Tomoyo! Look! There's so many buttons! I wonder what this is!"
She began to press all the buttons she saw on the armrest and Touya shook his head.
" It's a wonder how she could be sixteen and yet so childish!" he muttered to Yukito who grinned.
Yukito , however , wasn't paying much attention. His full attention was at the stewardess who was wheeling some food on a cart.
Tomoyo sat down beside Sakura , grinning. It was quite a shock for her when she found out about the move. She personally had no idea ....Sonomi was meaning to tell her when she came back from work.
Of course you couldn't blame Tomoyo....having the information broken to her from a person such as Sakura...well , anyone would faint.
Sakura yelled with disgust as a barf bag shot out from the seat in front of her.
" Ewww! I don't need that!" she yelled.
Touya smirked. " Don't be so sure of that!"
Sakura smiled at him , innocently. " Why do you say that?"
Touya shrugged , nonchalantly. " Flying is serious business ,squirt. You've never flown on a plane before....you might get a little queasy."
Sakura grinned. " Really. I'll make a bet with you then."
Tomoyo rose her eyebrows. " You sure , Sakura?"
Sakura nodded. "Absolutely. I bet you ten dollars that I can stand the whole ride to Hong Kong without once using the barf bag!"
Touya put a hand on his chin thinking. " And if I can stand the whole ride without the barf bag , you'll have to give me ten bucks!"
Sakura stuck out a hand. " Agreed!"
Touya shook her hand. " Your on!"
Tomoyo rolled her eyes , as Sakura smiled at her from beneath her auburn bangs. " Of course he doesn't know all those years of card capturing give me a bit of an edge on this bet!"
Tomoyo laughed , and Touya and Yukito stared at the two , surprised. It sure was to be an interesting trip!
~~~~~******~~~~~
" Here's your ten bucks , kaijuu!" Touya spoke threw gritted teeth. His face was green and Sakura , Tomoyo , Yukito and Fujitaka were laughing their heads off.
" Thank you , big brother! Never mess with the master!" Sakura answered, her eyes alight with humour. Tomoyo and Sakura laughed and walked off , Sakura flipping threw the bills.
" Who knew I could make a hundred bucks off Touya? He never learns, does he?" Sakura asked , bubbling with laughter.
Tomoyo stared at her. " A hundred dollars??"
Sakura nodded. " For the past two weeks , I've been making bets with him. And every single time , he loses! Talk about dense!"
Sakura and Tomoyo hooked arms , giggling as they walked to the luggage drop off. Sakura stared out the window , looking at the foreign Chinese writing , and the Hong Kong cities that rose from beyond the hills. This is where she was going to live for one year...
And she was going to make the best of it!
a/n: Muah ah ah ah ah ah! So Sakura isn't too bad herself in the tricky department!!
