Love 4rm a Game

Chapter 8
At the Beach with a Scheme

(from now on, thoughts will be italisized..you know..slanted..unless its emphasizing something..you get the picture)

Sakura woke up the next morning, still tired from sleeping. She thought about getting up and out of bed but that seemed to be a bad idea so she abandoned it and decided to sleep for a few more minutes. As she was about to fall back to sleep, Tomoyo happened to burst into the room and called Sakura to wake.

" Kura! Time to wake up, sleepy head" she announced.

Sakura groaned and made an attempt to throw a pillow at her but was tired and just pulled the pillow back to her and snuggled close to it. Tomoyo called for the second time.

" Sakura! Wake up! We're going to the beach, today" Tomoyo marched over to her sleeping friend and shook her. Sakura only replied with a few groans and a 'leave-me-alone-or-i'll-kill-you' grunt. Tomoyo sighed and did the last possible thing; she threw off the covers. Or rather, she tried to. During the night, Sakura's legs managed to tangled themselves with the blankets and sheets. As Tomoyo tugged and pulled, Sakura groaned and clutched to the bed.

" Chill out, Tom. Give me a couple more minutes. I...prom..ise..yawn..I.." Sakura mumbled the rest of her sentence as she fell slowly back to sleep. Tomoyo sighed, once again, in frustration. As she left the room, Syaoran stomped in and hollered,

" What the heck is taking so long" Then he saw Sakura sleeping in her bed and marched over to her. He sat on the bed and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her violently.

" Huh? What" she murmured, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. When her eyes came into focus, she saw Li face and automatically without thinking, her mouth opened to scream and her hand made impact with his cheek.

Finally, after much urging and pleading, Tomoyo managed to get Sakura to agree to go to the beach.

-beach-

Sakura sat back with her big t-shirt still on. She sighed and thought about the things that had happened in the little time she had been in Hawaii and she still needed to teach Asami more lessons. Aside from that, Tomoyo had dragged her into another one of her twisted this-is-gonna-be-so-much-fun games.

Speaking of the troublemaker..

Tomoyo stood in front of Sakura with her two-piece lavendar swimsuit on and a wrap tied around her waist. " What" Sakura asked, looking over the rim of her sunglasses.

" What? Why do you still have your t-shirt on? You should be sunbathing! We're in Hawaii, for goodness' sake! You could at least show your body here" Tomoyo ranted.

Sakura just laughed and stood up, only her long, slender, perfectly tanned legs showing. " Tom, Tom, Tom. If I got any darker, I wouldn't look Japanese! 'Sides, I'm already risking too muchshowing my legs. That stupid Li dude is hoppin around the beach looking for girls. And unfortunately, I've already made one encounter with him..Apparently, he's got a thing for legs" she stated simply, walking towards the shoreline.

Really? Tomoyo thought with interest, a mischievous smile forming on her face.

She spotted Li 'hoppin around the beach' as Sakura said and called him over. " Oh, Syaoran! Come here for a moment please" From afar, Syaoran heard her and a smirk came across his lips. He left the swooning group of girls and ran over to her.

" Have you finally found out that I'm better than Hiiragizawa" he asked upon arriving. Tomoyo shook her head.

" I have a propostion" she said, pausing to see his expression. " I have a very beautiful friend that I want you to meet. I hear that you like legs." He nodded with a smirk. " Well, my friend is just your type then." By now, Li looked like he was about to yell and run around like a madman. " All you have to do..is catch her in the water." When she finished the last word, Li had already dashed off toward the water.

Li was now at the water's edge and looked over the surface. Could her friend be Ying Fa? He anxiously searched for 'Ying Fa' as he dove into the water.

Sakura slowly swam through the water, interested in the peaceful silence of underwater. At least here I won't be bothered by anyone. She thought as she resurfaced. Just before she had dove into the water, she took off her big t-shirt. Underneath, she was wearing a plain green, one piece, halter bathing suit, though it complimented every one of her curves. Now she stood knee deep in the aquamarine water and slowly, she waded toward the deeper part.

Syaoran forwarded through the crystal blue water, searching, still, for Ying Fa, or at least someone that looked like Tomoyo's friend. Either one would be fine with him. Then as he refocused his mind, he saw slender legs walking towards the deeper part of the water. He had the sudden urge to just tackle those legs and...he did. Rushing forward, he grabbed the legs as soon as he made contact.

Wading through the water, she heard a sudden sound but continued to walk. She was now waist deep in the water. Suddenly, something grabbed both of her legs and she felt like she was being pulled down into the water.

Tomoyo sat on her chair from afar and smiled at her doing. The war has just started.

Sakura fell into the water with closed eyes as she held her limited breath. With Li's sudden urge to do things without thinking kicking in, he floated over her and put his lips against hers. Immediately, Sakura's eyes opened and she pushed him away, slapping him as her emerald orbs filled with fire. That'll teach him not to take my air. Her eyes widened when she realized who it was that kissed her and she resurfaced, spitting and sputtering and calling Li everything she could think of.

" Baka, moron, idiot, fool, stupid, vain baka" She growled, swimming back to Tomoyo.

As she walked back onto the warm sand, her eyes blazed like the sun. " Daidouji! You better have a good explanation"

Meanwhile, Li stood in the water and walked back to Mei Lin, who was trying to fight off the mob of boys. Mei Lin saw him and called" Syao-kun! Help me! They want to take me away from you"

" Let them" he replied, still in a daze. That was amazing. " Nani!" Mei Lin exclaimed.
