Shattered Lovers

The uptown was where she lived, top floor of the best bachelor/ bachelorette apartment building in the city, because she was the most wanted bachelorette in Tokyo these days, articles in the papers and several magazines about her. She was the eye of the press and everything women did practically revolved totally around her, all of her friends being pretty much the exact same, but most of them were involved or something of the sort, not her though, she didn't have enough time to have a real relationship with anyone. She was too young regardless to be tied down like most of her friends, added to the fact her older brother, Touya, was the most wanted bachelor in the city as well, being the big time Elementalist record label president, and producer, added to the fact, he, himself, was involved in several of the groups, singing with them. She'd gotten up to the top with her brother, and they were the best known in Japan and China for stars of any eye.


"Miss Kinomoto, great weather we're having," the doorman stated as she exited her building and smiled to him.

"Yes it is, I shouldn't be back anytime soon, but if my brother or any friends happen to stop by tell them to tell the lobbyist to call me and I'll come A.S.A.P.," she said as the man nodded and climbed into her limousine answering her now ringing cell phone.

She entered her best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji's, studio her outfit perfect along with the rest of her, she'd always been aware of her beauty and flaunted it greatly, regardless if anyone thought she was self-centered or not. Tomoyo was a successful fashion designer, and Kinomoto was one of her best models, which kept her on basically every cover of every magazine, the press always showing at her shoots, something she loved greatly. Her heels clicked on the floor, her pressed cream colored butter-like material pants flowing cleanly a few centimeters behind her, though it wasn't noticeable with her starched white trench coat, her long light brown hair pulled into a twist with a thin black pen, her sunglasses keeping her eyes covered. Walking up to her friend she smiled, the woman hugging her gently and kissing both her cheeks, though there was only contact with one another's cheek.

"Sakura, I thought you'd never get up, what took so long?" Tomoyo asked as the girls she was shooting a few moments ago went to change into their next outfits, Sakura walking with her friend so they could talk for a little bit.

"I'm sorry, my brother kept me up until five after I'd just left here at midnight, I only slept two and a half hours before I jumped up to shower and get ready to come here after my breakfast," Sakura told Tomoyo as her jaw dropped in shock.

"And you're not dead! Wait, how much coffee did you drink when you woke up?"

"A whole black pot, straight down, you know I've never been great at staying awake without something keeping me that way. So, how long are we going today?"

"Late, my mother's coming in from England to shoot some of her clothes for the England magazines. She said that she needs you to be in her magazine, or she'll be forced to hurt someone. You know how she loved your mother when she modeled for her."

"Yes, I've only heard her go on about, you look just like your mother, have you ever tried modeling before over a zillion times. So, I'll get more coffee sent to me between shoots, and hopefully, Touya won't need me until tomorrow after I sleep a few more hours tonight," Sakura laughed before disappearing with her first outfit to change.

The day passed faster than she'd thought, coffee pots brewing during each shoot as she downed them, the caffeine keeping her from falling unconscious the entire time. Sonomi Daidouji, Tomoyo's mother, came at four o'clock and began her shoot which went until ten, then they were invited out to a late dinner with their other friends; Rika Sasaki, Chiharu Mihara, and Naoko Yanagisawa. The group staying out until one o'clock, when Sakura returned to her apartment to catch up on sleep, after calling her brother to see if she was needed tomorrow, and what time she was needed, but was surprised to find out that she wasn't needed anywhere the next day.


The press ate up the day of rest and relaxation, snapping pictures of her sitting out on her balcony drinking tea and sitting around in her pajamas. The doorman was surprised not to see her, and her driver was glad to take the day off to see his children and wife before they all went to bed. After sitting around all morning, however, Sakura pulled on a pair of white pants, a pair of low heeled white sandals, and a pink top which was white at the top and faded into a dark pink at the bottom, showing a thin line of her abdomen above the pants. She went out and met up with some of her friends to go shopping before they invited her out to go to a new club downtown, she knew the press might and might not be there, but she also deserved to party a bit before going back to her hectic schedule. Only going home to change into her more clubby clothes, she left and stayed gone until well in the early morning hours.
X-Elixir, the club, was packed with people, everyone ready to drink and party until they were almost unconscious. Sakura was actually glad only a few press were there, it gave her the slim chance of getting around them unnoticed. In the clubs no one recognized her to let her have a good time, but sometimes she was caught by the press, though always avoiding having something hardcore visible alcoholic in her hand, she always ordered dainty mixed drinks. Every girl had dressed to impress, and most of her friends were single, so they were all trying to catch someone's eye for the night.

"What can I get you ladies tonight?" the waitress questioned as the girls thought, they'd sat in a booth on the balcony for now, just to get away with drinking anything rough.

"We'll have four batches of Kamikazes to start, a Shirley Temple for Rika, Bloody Mary for Naoko, a Strawberry Daiquiri for myself, and an Apple Martini for our dear Sakura," Tomoyo said boldly as the girls' jaws dropped in shock, it was their normal drinks, but never that many Kamikazes.

"Tomoyo have you lost your marbles somewhere downstairs?" Rika questioned with wide eyes, Sakura trying not to giggle at the looks.

"Come on Rika, you broke up with Jeremy three months ago and we all know you haven't got laid since. To get what we know we want we're gonna have to not care about it and get all this tension out, of course, we all know, our dear virgin Sakura over here will be our caretaker while we're drunk," Tomoyo stated making Sakura's cheeks turn bright pink.

"Don't pick on me because I haven't gotten that drunk to not care who I did or didn't wake up to the next morning. Besides, you know how bad I get watched, if my father or brother found out I lost it because I was drunk they'd be furious. I'm supposed to be married first," Sakura said in her own defense as the waitress came back with their first rounds of Kamikazes and their mixed drinks.

"Shut up and drink Sak, I'm not listening to you say that anymore," Tomoyo stated before handing everyone a Kamikaze, though she was pushing most of them at Sakura.

The five girls spent most of the night drinking before Sakura and Tomoyo disappeared onto the dance floor, giving themselves an audience. Scandalous by Mis-Teeq was playing as Tomoyo and Sakura danced up close and personal with each other, their hands going a bit crazy on each other. Sakura laughing through most of it as Tomoyo let the two of them rub together, mainly men were watching, sweat rising on their brows before two of them jumped in and grabbed their wrists spinning them away from one another except doing the same dance. Naoko and Rika ran out onto the dance floor hopping into the action, two of the men picking them out before Chiharu finished three Kamikazes and spun out into it, the boy dancing with Sakura letting her go before all four boys backed up, the five girls taking it all together. Pictures were snapping, but Sakura didn't care, she was having too much fun, the five moving simultaneously, their bodies covered in sweat, droplets rolling down or flying off of them giving them a misty, even sexier look.

The song played back, but this time everyone turned to the lowered cages and bar, where more girls appeared, even Sakura and the others looked, but it was the girl on the bar that had everyone's attention. Then Sakura blinked, she'd had a dream two night prior with the same girl in it, but she looked different then, now her hair was pulled into dozens of braids, a headband making them bounce outward, her bangs sticking over her left eye. Her clothes made her even more wanting, though it would be practically impossible to peel our of her pants. Her black high heels looked uncomfortable, but obviously they weren't, her pants being simple tight black lace with black leather straps crossing over her thighs, becoming full leather after the knees. Her top was like a black leather bra, an X across her front with the tight straps, and her hands covered by second skin worthy black leather gloves, though they only reached the middle knuckle of each finger.

She moved like a cat, her braids slinging her sweat out into the crowd, the girls in the neon cages moving slower, though she went straight with the beat of the music. The men at the bar picking up their drinks as she walked down, though in the middle of the song a young man jumped onto the bar in a pair of skin tight black leather pants, though without a shirt. Both the man and woman were rubbed over with sparkling oil, though it only made their golden bronze skin more appeasing. Their outfits were identical, in total, though he wore boots, his practically black hair sticking to his face after he began sweating, their bodies entangling together and the leather groaning as they rubbed together. Everyone's attention was on them, no one could look away, there was no way not to look at them, then Sakura gasped, that boy wasn't your average boy, it was her older brother and her friends were drooling over him. She had to admit, however, his muscles did make him extremely attractive, and how he moved without heaving too hard a breath, he was talented, though he always had been.

Upon the song's end, Tomoyo had drug everyone back to the table with a chain of boys following, the two on the bar in the group, though Touya was now wearing an unbuttoned sheer white long sleeved shirt, sweat glistening on his muscles. They all sat down at the booth, Tomoyo happily ordering more Kamikazes getting everyone in the groove of drinking more. Then after a few minutes Tomoyo took her time introducing everyone, her voice faltering a bit with her drunken state.

"Alright, Sakura, Chiharu, Rika, Naoko, Touya… This is Syaoran Li, Yuki Seiko, Yuekito Tsukishiro, Takashi Yamazaki, and his sister, Maemimi Yamazaki. Everyone, Sakura Kinomoto, her brother, Touya Kinomoto, Chiharu Mihara, Rika Sasaki, and Naoko Yanagisawa," Tomoyo stated as they looked each other up and down, before Tomoyo quickly added two more. "Sorry, also Syaoran's cousins Eriol Hiiragizawa and Mei Lin Li."

Syaoran Li was what caught Sakura, he'd worn something to perfectly catch your eye, tight black pants, black boots, black leather silver belt buckled belt, and an unbuttoned dark green long sleeved shirt, showing his white muscle tank top underneath. His muscles were well toned, which was highly visible, his hair dark brunette and tousled as though he'd just gotten out of bed, and his eyes, the deepest of amber gold's, like leaves falling from the trees in the autumn.

Yuekito Tsukishiro had Rika's full attention, his short chopped off platinum hair shimmering in the neon lights, pale skin keeping the attraction, and the bright blue eyes really catching her. He'd worn dark blue jeans, black boots, and a white muscle tank top, the top showing his also well toned muscles. His belt was pure black, the buckle completely unnoticeable.

Takashi Yamazaki wasn't hard to guess, besides the fact they dully remembered him from something like elementary school, hard to remember that long ago, but now he was the apple of Naoko's eye. Black hair dripping gently with thin sweat, medium tanned skin glistening in the lights, deep blue eyes reflecting the color of the ocean, black pants clinging to his legs, black belt holding a bull skull silver buckle, and his own white muscle tank showing off his slim but nicely chiseled frame, and black boots freshly polished to look that extra nice.

Then came Eriol Hiiragizawa, who was noticeably taken by Tomoyo, he seemed the second to oldest of the group, dark blue hair black in the lights, almost black, dark blue, eyes showing nicely behind his glasses, though instead of looking like a nerd, they made him more attractive. He'd worn a tight dark blue muscle shirt, dark blue jeans, studded belt, and black boots, giving him a more authentic look, his muscles, however, the largest in the group.

Yuki Seiko, he was Chiharu's by choice, his blonde hair shocking in the group, showing he wasn't Japanese, but his dark green eyes weren't common either. His medium colored skin looked great beside his black muscle shirt, leather pants, and leather boots. His belt was simple, black leather and silver buckle, though something about him just caught Chiharu, they imagined his eyes.

Last, however, were the two most gorgeous women they'd seen other than themselves, Mei Lin was visibly Chinese, her broad straight black hair pulled into buns on either side of her head with hair still coming from them to her waist. Her bright garnet eyes glittering like gemstones, and her medium tanned skin showing off with glitter, her top showed enough skin to get by, her tight skirt clinging to her thighs, only covering what was needed. She wasn't fully dressed to impress, but her legs did get her enough attention. Maemimi, however, had Sakura's envy, her long dark brown hair pulled into those thousands of tiny braids and tied up with her black headband, her dark skin shining in the lights, metallic eyes shadowed by her black eyelashes, her leather clothes sticking tightly to her body, and black heels lethal if need be. She was mysterious, and beautiful all at the same time. But she had Touya's eyes all over her, sure he'd danced with her, but he obviously didn't know her, though it would be smart, seeing as they'd gotten up close and lethally personal.

"Syaoran, Mei Lin, and Yuekito just came in from China, Takashi from Spain, Yuki from Ireland, Eriol from London, and Maemimi from Tuscany," Tomoyo said breaking the long silence hastily.

"Um, you guys can use our nicknames, for those of us with really long stupid first names. So here's the easy version, Sy, Yue, Tak, and Mimi. Trust me, it'll get tiring saying names that long all the time," Maemimi suddenly spoke up catching everyone's attention, her Japanese wasn't very perfect, but it was enough to pass, obviously she wasn't highly fluent in it.

"So what're you all doing here in good 'ol Tokyo?" Touya questioned as they looked at them everyone suddenly looking to the dead silent Syaoran, who didn't budge, Eriol talking for him.

"My oh so silent cousin was sent here by his mother to try and stop being so locked up and maybe find someone to be friends with, we just came along for support, plus most of us know others that live here," Eriol stated nudging his cousin roughly as he glared at him, the waitress bringing another round of drinks.

After about two hours of conversation, Tomoyo drug the other girls downstairs to dance, Mimi running into someone clumsily before he grabbed her around the waist and didn't let her go. Takashi and Touya flinched before she kneed him in an unpleasant place and pushed him back kicking high into the air with both legs flipping in the air back flipping landing softly on her heels and one hand, the drunken man falling into a chair neatly stuck in slow motion. Mei Lin smiled clapping before Mimi stood up and made sure her belt didn't move before walking up to the other girls.
