This is in Mini Sparky's favor.
Chapter 4
Shopping and Horrid Games
{ Friday, Sakura's House}
School had just ended and it was the day before the trip. Tomoyo had come over to help Sakura pack. She had packed everything but clothes and since Tomoyo was best at picking out clothes, she had called for her expertise.
" Well, Kura. I don't know why you called me to help. It's not like you're going to pick out anything pretty," said Tomoyo, looking in her best friend's closet.
Sakura sat on her bed, with two pair of baggy pants in her hands. She stared at them with total concentration. Never losing focus.
" Which one should I bring? The dark blue ones or the black ones?" Sakura asked, raising up each one. She looked at Tomoyo for her approval of which one. Tomoyo shook her head at both of them.
{ Syaoran's house, Same Time}
.: I have so many beautiful clothes...Which ones should I take?:. Syaoran thought to himself. He shrugged and grabbed all of his clothes and threw them into his suitcases. 6 to be exact.
{ Back to Kura}
Sakura stared at Tomoyo and gave her the what-you-talkin-about-Tomoyo look. That look stayed on her face a while before Tomoyo finally answered.
" Sakura...We are going on one of the biggest trips in school and it's very warm in Hawaii. You'll sweat like a dog there," she explained. Sakura gave her the ' and?..' look.
Tomoyo sighed at her best friend. " And..we're going...SHOPPING!!!" she said, enthusiastically. She clapped her hands and started to sing her little song, " We're going to the mall. We're going to the mall."
While Tomoyo was singing her song, Sakura tried to get away from her giddy little friend. Silently, she tiptoed into her bathroom, which was in her room, and almost succeeded but Tomoyo grabbed her legs and tried to pull her out, only to have Sakura grab onto the door for dear life.
The struggle lasted for about five minutes before Tomoyo grew tired and let go. She sat in the middle of the room, legs spread out and hair in a tangle. She sighed and looked over to Sakura whose hands were wrapped around the knob. Apparently, her hands were stuck and she couldn't get them off.
" My hands are stuck. They're cramped and they're stuck," she said, blowing a hair strand out of her pink face. She turned her head towards Tomoyo, who had fallen on her back. " Help me," she said, in a voice more demanding then requesting.
" Only if you go shopping with me," Tomoyo breathed.
" Fine, just. get. me. off," Sakura yelled.
{ At the Mall}
" Why did I agree to this? I shoulda just stay stuck to the stupid door," Sakura whined, while trying to look over the bags she was holding, courtesy of Tomoyo. They had only been to two stores and they already had 6 big bags worth of clothes.
Sakura looked for a way out. She scanned her mind for Tomoyo's biggest weakness. Candy? No. Boys? No. Wait..Haha. ERIOL!!
" Hey Tom. Ain't that Eriol over there?" she said, pointing to a foot locker store, across the dress store they were in. At the mention of Eriol's name, Tomoyo looked over, while Sakura dropped the bags and made a dash for it. She raced out the mall, leaving a trail of smoke behind.
" I don't see him any..where...SAKURA!!!!!!!" Tomoyo yelled. .: Great..Just leave me here, Kura..I'm not quite strong enough to carry all this..:. She grabbed the bags and started for the mall exit, dragging the bags on the ground.We called her limo and drove over to Sakura's house.
Sakura was laying on the couch, a suitcase and duffel bag at the end of it. She had the remote in her hand and was searching for a decent movie with some mystery and deception in it...but all she found was mushy romance movies with a bunch of make out scenes. " Stupid fluff movies," she muttered under her breath. She turned off the T.V. and the doorbell rang. She got up and opened the door to reveal Tomoyo with the 6 bags surrounding her. " You wanna come in?" She nodded and dragged in the bags. She saw the suitcase and duffel bag.
" You made me go shopping for nothing?" Tomoyo asked as she plopped herself down on the couch. She grabbed the remote and turned to one of the many romances.
" Iie...You went shopping for nothin," Sakura corrected. Tomoyo sat there before answering, " True..But all this is your size. You're a bit thinner than me. If you would only eat more.."
Sakura went into the kitchen and grabbed a can of sprite and coke from the fridge. She went back out and handed the coke to Tomoyo and kept the sprite to herself while sitting on the armchair. But just as she settled herself, the doorbell rang again. So she stood up from her place and answered the door to find Asami. " Uh..hey Asami..What are you doin here? Shouldn't you be at home?"
She nodded and said, " Yeah but I just wanted to tell you I might not be here for a while because I have to go somewhere with my brother and I didn't want you to worry."
" That's okay..I'm gonna be gone for a while too. You wanna come in?" Sakura said, opening the door a little wider. She shook her head and said she had to be on her way. " Alright then, see ya when I get back, Asami."
" Ja ne!" she said, running off home.
{ On the plane, next day}
Sakura sat next to Tomoyo and Eriol next to Syaoran on the plane. The teachers wanted them to sit with their roommates and so to keep Sakura from killing Li, the seating arrangements were so. They felt the plane lift and rise into the air.
.: Goodbye Tomoeda and hello Hawaii:. thought Sakura as they flew into the air. She stared out the window and sighed. It had been a while since she left Tomoeda and boy did it feel good. It felt as if all her problems were left behind as she left Tomoeda behind. She looked at Tomoyo, who was reading 'The Thief Lord' for about the sixth time. " You need new books," said Sakura. Tomoyo looked up and smiled. " I guess so."
The next hour or so was pretty quiet and Sakura started to fall asleep when Tomoyo suddenly said, " Done! Now what do you guys want to do?"
Sakura replied tiredly, " Sleep." Tomoyo looked at her friend and said, " But you slept last night...and besides, you can sleep anytime."
Sakura sat up and stared Tomoyo right in the eye. " I slept last night with you calling me and telling me the same thing every half hour and if I can sleep anytime then I'm gonna sleep right now." With that, she fell back in the chair and once again started to fall asleep but the stewardess came by.
" Would you like anything?" She smiled. Tomoyo asked for some orange juice and Eriol asked for a sprite. She handed it to them and then looked at Sakura and Li.
" Yeah. I would like some sleeping gas so I can get some freakin sleep..." The stewardess stared at her and she said, " But I won't get any apparently, so I'll just get a cup of tea please." She handed Sakura a cup of tea and moved up to Li.
" What about you sir?" Li looked her up and down and replied, " I'll have some of you sweet thing." He gave her a flirtatious growl and she blushed 6 shades of red.
Sakura rolled her eyes and said in an annoyed voice, " Just give him some dog chow and he'll leave ya alone, lady."
She didn't know what to say so she just left and went on to other students. Syoaran continued looking at himself and making sure he looked good for the next stewardess that came by.
" Why did you say that Sakura?" Tomoyo whispered after the stewardess was gone. " The guy's a snot face player. He's a dog. And dog's eat dog chow. Simple as that," Sakura answered. Tomoyo sighed and stood up to go to the restroom.
" When I come back, we're gonna play a game of Truth or Dare, Daidouji style." With that said, she left. (no this is not the game they are gonna play that gets SS together. it's just a game to pass time)
.: Oh no!! Screw you, Tom. I'm not playin no Daidouji style game:. Sakura thought. She covered her legs with the blanket and pretended to be asleep when Tomoyo came out.
" Game time. Kura, get the boys up. Kura?" She looked over to Sakura and saw her calmly breathing. She knew Sakura way too well to fall for this old trick. She sighed and moved her hands towards Sakura side and started to lightly tickle her. Sakura started to twitch and soon a few giggles left her mouth but quickly, she cut off the connection of hand and side. She held Tomoyo's hands tightly. " Never do that in public again or be prepared to be embarrassed," Sakura said, sending a cold shiver down Tomoyo's back. She nodded and regained her composure.
" Eriol, Gaki. Get up. Tom wants to play a game with ya'll," Sakura said, leaning against the seat. The two guys turned their heads and as Syaoran was about to open his mouth, Sakura said something first. " Not that kind of game you scum bag."Sakura put her feet on the seat and looked out the window.
" Well, I wanted to play a game on Truth or Dare.." Tomoyo started but was interrupted. " I'm in for a good game of Truth or Dare. The ride's getting kinda boring," said Eriol. Then Tomoyo spoke once more and finished with, " Daidouji style." Eriol thought about Tomoyo's finished statement and he remembered all the games they played with Tomoyo, Daidouji style. Most of them had ended up with something embarrassing happening to him.
" Uhhh. Never mind. I take back what I said.." but Tomoyo interrupted this time. " Uh-uh-uh. Once you say you're in, you're in." He groaned in defeat. He knew this was only the beginning of many horrid games. " Fine."
" You joining us Li?"Tomoyo asked. She looked at him. He looked at her. He started to lightly drool, only no one but Sakura saw it because she saw a light reflection from the sun. Silently, she took out her small pocket-sized digital camera and took a quick picture with the flash turned off.
" Anything for you, sugar," he answered, causing Tomoyo to look at him crazily and causing Sakura to gag. He glared at her. " Just because you've never been called sugar, doesn't mean you can gag at her, ugly."
She rolled her eyes and glared back him. " You think I like being called food items? Give me a break. I hear it just about everyday. It just sounds more disgusting coming from your mouth." Sakura stuck out her tongue and resumed staring out into the window.
" Sakura's playing, too. Now I get to go first. Eriol-kun, truth or dare?"Tomoyo said the first part so quickly, Sakura only heard her name and she assumed that Tomoyo had made her join the game. And with a Daidouji style game, if you name is said before the game, you're automatically in. Also, every time someone picks dare, that person gets a dollar from each person.
" Uh. Truth?" he answered, kinda scared in some way. " Wonderful. Now. You have to tell the truth. Do you like Sakura?" He looked at her with confusion. " Well, I have to like her or else she wouldn't be considered my friend. I like someone else, anyhow," he finished, lightly blushing.
" My turn. Syaoran. Truth or dare?" Eriol asked, with a hint of unseen evil in his eyes. " I'll take truth." He looked at him with disappointment. Oh well. " How many girlfriends have you had?" Li sat and thought for a while. " Well, there was Carlee and Susie. Then Ashley and Jenny and...(blah blah blah)" Like the evil list that kept going and going, so did his mouth. And after about 30 names, the three told him to shut up. " Fine. I only had about fifty more to go," he complained.
" Let's see, who is my victim? Haha. How about you Kinomoto. Truth or dare." Sakura looked at him plainly and with no fuss and no hesitation, she answered, " Dare." He looked at her and she showed no emotion; no fear no anxiety; nothing. " Humph. Fine. I dare you to kiss Eriol...on the lips." After a few moments of silence, she moved quickly towards Eriol and gave him a peck on the lips. " Take it to no offence Tom," she whispered. She received her three bucks and looked out the window.
" Eriol. Truth or Dare." Eriol, who was still in shock with what just happened, sat there. Not moving. " Hello?" she waved a hand in front of his face. He awoke up from his trance and answered, " Uh. T-truth. No. Dare," he said, unsurely. She cocked an eyebrow and gave out her dare. " I dare you to confess your feelings towards Tom," she folded her arms and looked out the window. " I'm waiting." Eriol started to sweat--bad. He stuttered and turned back in his seat, took a deep breath and turned around, facing Tomoyo. " Tomoyo-chan. I-I-I like you..A lot. Would you..would you be my g-girlfriend?" He pulled his collar and gulped.
Tomoyo stared at him with tears in her eyes-tears of joy. " Hai! Hai, Eriol-kun. You have no idea how long I've been waiting. She leaned up and hugged him. Though the hug was awkward because the back of the chair was in the way, the enjoyed every moment of it.
" Sugoi. Cool. Now here's your buck and I'm out ya'll," Sakura said, yawning, as she fell into a dreamless sleep.
They stared at her while she slept and decided to do a little switching though it some debating. Tomoyo moved up to Eriol and Syaoran moved down to Sakura. The rest of the ride went by slowly while in her mind, Tomoyo was cooking up a plan to hook Sakura and Syaoran up, by a game–a very evil game.
Well, I'm sorry it took so long. I've been busy with lots of things and newayz, I hope you guys liked it, even though it was pretty lame. Hehe.
