" Sakura. I dare you to-" He stopped midsentence and thought it would be more fun if only she heard it. Once he whispered it to her a look of disgust came onto her face.
" You're kidding me, right?"
Love 4rm A Game
Chapter 12
One Game on Top Another pt.2
Sanjiro shook his head 'no'. Sakura sighed and agreed. Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself. She asked if she could ask Tomoyo for assistance and Sanjiro allowed. Sakura pulled Tomoyo into their room.
" What's the dare?" Tomoyo asked repeatedly but to no avail. Sakura replied that she asked her for assistance and nothing more.
" Help me find something that's..girly," Sakura blurted. Tomoyo, shocked, did what her friend requested. Searching through her shopping bags, Tomoyo pulled out a pale pink skirt that came just above the knee. At the sight of it, Sakura scrunched up her nose but put it on anyway. Then Tomoyo found a white off-the-shoulder top that hugged all of Sakura's curves. Once Sakura had the clothes on, she let her hair down.
Tomoyo and Sakura walked out of the room. Li looked up and was stunned by the radiance of the transformed Sakura.
Ying Fa..
Tomoyo, who had grown accustomed to Li in the past week or so and thought that he and Sakura would make an awesome couple ( like she did in the beginning), figured out what Sanjiro was doing. Sanjiro didn't like her in the like-like manner; he just liked to play and mess around with her like a brother.
Going on with her dare, Sakura walked elegantly up to Li and sat down next to him.
" Hey, Syao-kun," she whispered into his ear. " It's Ying Fa. You remember me, don't you?" He gulped and slowly nodded.
Mei Lin sat and watched them, somehow, unfazed by what 'Ying Fa' was doing. I guess..I don't mind anymore..
Meanwhile, Sakura had her hand around Li's neck. Drawing closer to her, he closed his eyes and she closed hers. Soon, their lips met. His arm made it's way around her waist and Sakura tensed.
3..2..1
She pulled herself away from his grip and ran to the bathroom, whispering a ' You happy now?' to him while he nodded with a grin on his face. Having finished rinsing her mouth and washing her lips with Scope ( note to everyone: they did not French! NO! Never! Frenching is eww. Continue) she pulled a random t-shirt from Tomoyo's shopping bag and changed from the off-the-shoulder but didnt bother with the skirt.
Sakura came out and sat in her spot, though she had change her sitting style because of the skirt. As soon as she managed to get comfortable, a knock came from outside the door. So, standing up again, she walked over to the door. Everyone's head followed her as she opened the door.
It was the bellboy. " Yes?" Sakura asked.
" A m-message for y-you miss," he stammered, handing her a note and a rose wrapped with a ribbon. Sakura stared at the items in the bellboy's hands and slowly reached for them and took them.
" Thanks," she said, still staring at it.
He quickly bowed and was about to leave when Sakura called him to wait. " What part of Japan are you from?" Sakura asked.
Darn it! She found out! Stumbling over his words, he replied, " Osaka."
" Your name?"
He took his time as though he was trying to remember. " Hiroshi Yamate." Sakura nodded and gave him her name.
Tomoyo, who had already noticed the symptoms of a crush, rushed up and told Sakura to sit down, while she gave the bellboy a picture of Sakura. His face lit up and he thanked Tomoyo a thousand times, dashing off with the picture of Sakura close to him.
Sakura had set the note and rose aside and resumed the game. " Mei Lin. I dare you to tell us how that kiss that Sanjiro gave you felt."
Mei Lin stiffened up. Tomoyo smiled and agreed. " Oh, do tell us."
Turning a hundred shades of red, Mei Lin started to tell about the kiss. She glanced at Sanjiro, who was still dressed as a girl, gulped. " It..itwasthegreatestthingiveeverexperienced!" she exclaimed in one large breath. ( It was the greatest thing I ever experieced) They all stared at her, shocked, obviously, especially Sanjiro, who was way beyond shocked.
Sanjiro moved over to her and embraced her, even though it would have been really romantic, it looked kind of awkward because he was dressed in girl clothing.
Mei Lin slowly wrapped her arms around him, cherishing every moment. Tomoyo mouthed a 'kawaii' and pulled out her camcorder while the others just sat and stared. Sakura cleared her throat.
" Even though this is a really touching moment, I'd like to get on with this so I can get to sleep." The hugging couple sluggishly let go of each other and they resumed the game.
" Tomoyo..I dare you to confess. Confess your love for Eriol!" At this, Tomoyo was the one who turned a hundred shades.
Tomoyo turned to Eriol, who was as cool as a cucumber. " Eriol..I-I-I love you!" Eriol smiled and scooched close to Tomoyo. She relaxed and leaned against him.
Sakura looked at her watch. It was 10 o' clock. " Since everyone has gone, why don't we go back to our rooms and get some sleep?"
Everyone nodded. Sanjiro went to change into his own clothes before he left with Mei Lin. Sakura was first to reach the girls' restroom and Li was first in the guys' room. Once Sakura was finished, she remembered the note and rose, so she went out to the living room and, fixing the couch, sat down and read it.
Sweet Emerald Angel,
You continue to capture my heart with your kindness to me. Your beauty- I can never get enough of. Take this rose as a token of my love for you.
Your Secret Admirer
After reading it, she stared at the rose and back at the letter. Who is this dude?
Hope you liked it! I know it's not as long as the last chapter but I wanted to wrap the game up so yeah...newayz,
Mei Lin's attitude has completely changed..and most likely for the good. It looks like there's a new couple here. So will Sakura ever figure out who the admirer is? And what about Li? Will he find out that Sakura is really the Ying-Fa that he has fallen for? Find out more in the next chapter of Love 4rm A Game!
