The Ice-cream Parlour: A Proposal

Still at Club Rash

At the bar, a certain green-haired male was complaining about the service at the club. Asuka had been waiting for almost ten minutes now and was not very happy. 'Damn bartenders,' he thought. 'a glass of Coke does not take that long to prepare, even if it has shaved ice...Syaoran is gonna kill me for sure...'

He observed his surroundings. Tonight the club was full. People hang around the edges of the room, some in the middle, some on the stairs, people on the second story, people at this stupid bar that takes ages for an order...Asuka counted the number of people waiting around the bar. 'Great...' he moaned as he counted about eight people or so. 'Eight people to serve...eight different drinks...eight-' he stopped muttering when his eyes fell on a girl with long strawberry blonde hair. He gritted his teeth. 'Haneoka...'

Meimi leaned against counter, feeling the cold metal on her exposed stomach. 'Those stupid bartenders are certainly taking their time,' she thought fuming, drumming her fingernails on the surface. She was so distracted she didn't notice someone watching...and someone coming towards her...

'Hmm...should I use magic now...' Asuka pondered over this. He eyed the girl wearily, and took a step towards her. On one hand, it seemed like a good idea. Haneoka always argued with him at school and he seldom won these verbal battles. It was soo tempting to get her back...But on the other hand, if he did anything 'rash' without Syaoran's permission, Syaoran would personally strangle him to death. But...Haneoka...was there...vulnerable...looking so defenseless...looking so naïve...so innocent...so adorable...

'WAIT A MOMENT,' Asuka yelled at his mental self. 'Where did THAT come from?'

'I know something you don't...' a sing-song voice chanted in his brain. (hehe ooooo a start of something!)

"Ahh shut up," he said to himself. He hadn't realized he had walked over to Meimi already during the time he was arguing with himself.

Meimi whipped around when she heard someone whisper "Ahhh shut up" in her ear. The voice had freaked her out and she had planned to give that person a good bashing. What she hadn't expected was a pair of sea green eyes bearing down on her. 'Argh...stupid Asuka...does he have to be EVERYWHERE I go?' she thought crossly. But at the mention of his name, she recalled how he had defended her in front of the Sharks that afternoon, and a light tint streaked across her cheeks.

Asuka looked down at the girl who was beginning to squirm. A pink stain was visible but he assumed it was probably from anger because he was here. Keeping as cool as possible, he put his hands in his back jean pockets to prevent them from fidgeting nervously. God he didn't even know why he was nervous now...he saw her everyday at school but it wasn't like this...

"Whyyouherewhatareyoudoing?" they both blurted out at the same time. They then gave each other a full-force glare before saying, "Whydoyouhavetobeeverywhere?"

Meimi squeezed her eyes closed in frustration and she held up a hand to stop Asuka saying anything again. "Just, shut up for a sec, alright?!" Asuka, to her surprise, did shut up.

"Can we, like, not say anything, turn around and walk to opposite ends of the room?" she said. "I am totally wasted and I want to enjoy my time here tonight...which doesn't involve you."

"Oh?" he said, "Of COURSE we can...not. You, young lady," he grabbed her wrist, "are coming with me." 'Syaoran would know what to do...' he thought, leading her towards Syaoran.

"Get off me!" Meimi struggled, but with no luck. His grip on her only tightened. "Will you stop bullying me?!" she was causing quite a scene as she shrieked. Asuka grimaced at the sound of her shrill yelling but fought his way through the crowd.

"Oh my god did you hear that?" said Tomoyo fearfully, hearing her friend's cries for help. "Meimi's in trouble!" She clutched onto Eriol's arm as they followed the sound of Meimi's screaming.

"Syaoran. SYAORAN?" shouted Asuka triumphantly when he reached lounge where Syaoran was. "I present to thee, the Miss Haneoka, bitch of the century!" He pushed Meimi forward, causing her to topple on her knees.

"Meimi? You alright?" came Sakura's anxious voice. "Did he do anything to you?" Meimi slowly shook her head, astounded at the fact that Sakura was sitting next to Li.

"You...her...what?!" Asuka's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. He pointed an accusing finger at Syaoran. But before he could say anything he, too was pushed forward...by Eriol, with a worried Tomoyo on his arm.

"Uh, sorry there, Asuka..." Eriol helped him up uneasily. Asuka looked at him then looked at Tomoyo. Then he pointed to Tomoyo's hand on Eriol's arm. "You...her...WHAT?!" he yelled. "Am I the only SANE here?!"

"Listen buddy," Eriol said calmly, "You had your hand on Haneoka's arm...does that mean anything? I found Daidouji and only planned to give her to Syaoran to deal with...which was what you were doing with Haneoka, unless I'm mistaken."

"What?! Me and Haneoka weren't doing anything...wait...what are you implying?" Asuka's face grew hot.

Sakura stood up and sighed. "Alright, break it up guys..." she said, standing in the middle of them. "Thank god you are all here! We were planning to find all you guys later but I guess this worked out perfectly," she exclaimed, clapping her hands.

"We?" inquired Meimi, who was still having an eye-locking battle with Asuka.

"Yes, we. Me and Syaoran. We were discussing-"

Tomoyo burst into laughter. "You were discussing something? Together?"

"Yes. Together." said Sakura, "Why is that so funny?"

"Oh, because you and Syaoran wouldn't have even stood five metres from each other unless it was for a duel," said Tomoyo. "And in case you haven't realized it, you haven't spoken to each other in a civil way in about a decade."

"Well, everything's changed now, Daidouji," Syaoran growled. "For once we, yes we, have to set aside our differences, because there is a bigger problem ahead."

"The Hatashi Sharks," said Eriol and nodded in understanding. Tomoyo put on a straight face.

"To put it simply," Sakura said, "we have to get along with each other, ok?" She looked around at each of them before continuing, "And we have to co-operate to defeat Hatashi."

"What?!" said Asuka. He seemed to be saying that word often tonight.

"Combined strength is better than individual strength, Asuka," explained Syaoran. "But that doesn't mean I'm liking the idea much either..."

"If we join gangs then we have a much better chance of winning because dark magic is more powerful than any of our elemental magic," reasoned Sakura. "Which is why, I, the leader of Blood Phoenix, propose that we join together."

"What?!" said Meimi. Both she and Asuka had broken eye contact and were staring at their leaders in disbelief.

"I think it is a good idea," Eriol spoke up. Unknown to the others, he gave Tomoyo's hand a squeeze.

Tomoyo hide a blush. "Yeah, I think it'll work..." she secretly gave Eriol a nudge.

"WHAT?!" both Meimi and Asuka turned to stare at them.

"What do you say, Asuka?" said Syaoran. "Before I accept I need everyone in my gang to agree."

"Come on Meimi...it wouldn't be that bad...I promise we could break this off straight after the fight at Chinatown," pleaded Sakura, "but right now, as you see, we're desperate."

Both Meimi and Asuka glared at each other "Fine..." they both sighed in defeat.
