In Which A Punishment Goes

Beyond Pink Tutus

Sakura stared at the four girls that crowded around her bed. Their eyes were all locked on her and she stared helplessly back. This had been going on for fifteen minutes so far. She really felt uncomfortable.

" He-Hello?" Sakura finally said , her voice stumbling a bit in fear.

The four sisters all stared at her , almost as if surprised. Finally , one sound came out of each of them.

" AWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

Sakura jumped , startled. Now , this is where it gets a little scary.

" She's so cute!"

" Look at those eyes!"

" Oh , how I wish for skin like that!"

" Her voice , so sweet!"

Their hands came out , pinching her cheeks and touching her hair and she whipped her head around , pathetically looking for Syaoran to save her. Thankfully , Syaoran appeared at the doorway and Sakura's heart rose in hope.

" SYAORAN! HELP!" Sakura yelped.

Syaoran glared at his sisters. " Come on , out of my room!"

One of them grinned at Syaoran. " Look who it is! Our kawaii little baby brother!"

Syaoran's eyes widened in fear. " OUT!"

All four of the sisters sweat dropped and slowly walked out of the room , each of them ruffling Syaoran's hair as they left. Syaoran growled , as he walked up to Sakura.

" Sorry about that," Syaoran mumbled.

Sakura choked. " The Syaoran? Saying SORRY?"

Syaoran's mouth twisted. " You'd better prize that moment , cause it won't happen ever again!"

Sakura giggled , and Syaoran turned to the tray he was holding. " Here's your breakfast."

Sakura stared at the food , confusedly. She turned to look at Syaoran , and felt her heart jump. Her eyes had connected straight into his and the power of those amber orbs made her heart warm so much it was hard to concentrate.

Syaoran coughed. " Eat. You can leave after your done."

He walked out of the room , and Sakura shook her head , almost awed. What was that feeling? How could he have done that to her? It was scary...

Sakura slowly rose a fork of scrambled eggs to her mouth as she contemplated this new feeling.

Too bad she didn't realise that he had coated the eggs with vinegar , or she wouldn't have made such a mistake!

" SYAORAN! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!" Sakura screeched as she spit out her food and wrenched her way out of the covers , to storm her way out of his room.

She raced down the hallway and down the stairs , blindly going wherever she thought was right. She slid down the corridor at the bottom of the stairs and ran straight into the family room-

Where a crowd of thirty people sat , staring at her.

Sakura blinked.

" Uh....Hi?" Sakura forced out , her voice meek.

She was aware of how her hair stuck out in all directions , and that the only clothing she wore was a huge tee shirt borrowed from Syaoran's sisters and the crazed look in her eye.

Her gaze met Syaoran's who was trying unsuccessfully to cover his laughs. She didn't , however , notice how Syaoran's mother was clapping her hands in delight and exchanging triumphant looks with their butler Wei. She just kept her eyes on Syaoran , plotting his downfall!

~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~

" Sakura!!" Tomoyo screeched as Sakura opened the door to the Kinomoto household.

Sakura blinked as Tomoyo came rushing down the stairs .

" Watch out!"

Tomoyo fell flat on her face as she reached the bottom. Sakura giggled as Tomoyo picked herself up, scowling.

" I still don't know why you insist on greasing the floor , Sakura!" Tomoyo growled.

Sakura shrugged. " Hey , if some UNWANTED people came , I want to be prepared."

Tomoyo glared at her. " That's why you rigged everybody's room?"

Sakura smiled at Tomoyo. " I'm HOME!"

Tomoyo blinked. " We were just discussing...Oh!"

Tomoyo ran and hugged Sakura. Sakura rolled her eyes. To think people thought Sakura was slow.

" I can't believe it! You had to spend the night at the Li Mansion? How was it?" Tomoyo asked excitedly.

Sakura groaned. " Just a lot of green polka dotted boxers..."

Tomoyo rose her eyebrows. " So you went through some up close and personal moments , eh?"

Sakura nodded. " Oh yah....." She noticed how Tomoyo was looking at her and her eyes widened. " Not in that way!"

Tomoyo giggled , but her expression soon became sombre. " I can't believe that someone chased you! Was it scary? Do you remember Hiiro? How did he save you? Swept you in his arms?"

Sakura blinked. " No , I got a concussion. I can't remember no sweeping of arms."

Tomoyo rolled her eyes. " Work with me here , Sakura! Don't you get it? Hiiro is so in love with you , he saved you! What would have happened if Hiiro hadn't been there?"

Sakura shuddered. " I don't know..."

Tomoyo grinned. " Exactly! I think that Hiiro is perfect for you , Sakura! He even looks like the guy on my latest romance novel....those black locks falling into those blue eyes....perfect.."

Sakura groaned. " You know what , I really don't want to think about it."

Tomoyo scowled. " Why not? To busy thinking about bad boy Syaoran?"

Sakura blanched. " Ugh!"

Tomoyo peered at Sakura knowingly as she went walking up the stairs to her room. There was something different about Sakura...

Sakura didn't notice however , the scrutiny she was being put under." I really hate that guy...he embarrassed me in front of his whole family! One day...I'll get him!"

~~~~~***~~~~~

" That is perfect!"

Syaoran rolled his eyes. Eriol was pacing back and forth in his room after Sakura had left. Syaoran knew that Eriol would take it as a boost to the development of their Ultimate Prank.

" Now that Sakura believes that Hirro saved her , she'll begin to think of Hiiro as more than just a good guy...she'll fall in love!!" Eriol cackled happily , tapping his fingers together. " Excellent..."

Syaoran groaned. " Eriol , I really do not need this right now."

Eriol rose his eyebrows. " Are you tired? After beating up that guy? That should have been a piece of cake! You really need some exercise , I've been noticing that your breathing quite a lot when we run-"

Syaoran groaned. " That's because I was running the two mile race track , with you on a bicycle!"

Eriol nodded. " And I won..."

Syaoran glared. " No I won!"

Eriol huffed. " I don't need this petty argument! Lets get on with our plans-"

Suddenly , a knock at the door interrupted their conversation. Syaoran yelled out , " What do you want?"

" I want to talk to you , son."

Syaoran stiffened. Eriol stared at him. " Uh oh...."

Quickly , they tidied up the room , Eriol mumbling , " Who wears green polka dotted boxers?" as they did so , and they finished in a record time of three minutes in which Yelan had already stepped inside the room and had made herself comfortable.

" I have to ask you , son..." Yelan started as Eriol and Syaoran collapsed on the bed. " How are you doing on your punishment?"

Syaoran jerked at those words. " Punishment??"

Yelan smiled innocently. " You do remember your punishment...don't you?"

Eriol whispered , " Dun Dun Dun Dun..."

Syaoran coughed. " Yes , Yes , I remember...I'm doing quite well....We're quite good friends....me and Kino-I mean Sakura...yes , good friends..."

Yelan grinned. " Well, I believe you , but you'll have to prove that to the elders. Bring her this Wednesday , and have her announce to the elders that she is your friend. Maybe a speech , to make it sound tasteful. We could even have a party!"

A roaring sound occurred between Syaoran's ears and he gasped. " Announce? Party? Sakura? Friend?"

Yelan nodded. " Since your already such good friends , I'm sure she'll come. I hope your keeping up in your studies and your training. Bye!"

With a sweep of her skirts , she was out the door , leaving an agape son behind.

Eriol mumbled , " Your in deep deeeeep shit now, my brother."

Syaoran mumbled back, " If you ever want to see your Whitney Houston CD again, I would advise you to shut up."

~~~~~~****~~~

Sakura walked down the hallway , holding her books close to her chest. She hoped that Syaoran wouldn't mind the pictures of the pink tutus , but from the laughter and screaming coming from his end of the hallway , she expected he minded.

Ah. There he comes now.

Syaoran marched down the hallway, his face red. He stopped in front of her and sputtered for a bit. Sakura blinked at him , waiting.

" You-You-" he seemed to be looking for a nasty word and Sakura waited patiently.

" You-wouldn't mind eating lunch with us today , would you?"

Okay , whatever she had been expecting , it wasn't that!

Sakura glared at Syaoran , who was rocking back and forth on his heels , looking sorry for saying it.

" Why , so you can plant worms in my sandwich and switch my juice box with gasoline?"

Syaoran opened his mouth. " Not anymore!"

Sakura groaned. " Look , Li , just because I might owe you a intsy bitsy debt for letting me stay at your house for the night , doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to stand back and let you prank me. So why don't you get that bottle of fake barf out of your pocket and leave me alone?"

Syaoran winced. So she saw the bottle , eh? Maybe she didn't see the-

" AND the fart bombs!"

Damn.

As she stormed away , Syaoran walked pathetically up to Eriol , who was trying to frame the picture of Syaoran in a tutu.

" All my attempts to be friends doesn't seem to work. She'll never come!" Syaoran growled , his eyes desperate.

Eriol tucked the framed picture into his locker and rubbed his chin , thoughtfully.

" You know , have you ever heard this saying? To be friends with a friend , first friend the friend of the friend you are trying to befriend?"

Syaoran blinked. " No..."

Eriol coughed. " Well , I have. Let me take you down this hallway and to your ticket to becoming friends with Sakura."


Syaoran walked with Eriol down the hallway , stopping at a girl who was trying to open her glued shut locker , which would soon burst open and squirt fake barf in her face.

" Tomoyo?" Syaoran asked , baffled.

" Tomoyo!" Eriol said , smiling. " I will become friends with her. Convince her how great of a guy you are. Then she'll convince Sakura to go to the party and announce everything! Then after that , we'll continue our Ultimate Prank , make them all cry and we'll stand in a corner and laugh and laugh."

Syaoran grinned as the amethyst eyed girl started to scream as the barf began its squirting.

" Sounds good!"

Since my fingers have begun to hurt , I'll stop typing. This is only one step further in my desperate attempts for a very fluffy romance. I'm very sorry to inform you that StarJade has given me a letter telling me to write the following things.

You cannot find out the Ultimate Prank until the next chapter , nor can you see how Eriol will become friends with Tomoyo , nor will you see if Syaoran will destroy that Whitney Houston CD. Maybe , if StarJade is nice , you will find out if there will be more appearances of green polka dotted boxers.
