---Waiting For The Party---
Morning finally came, and it was late morning… Sakura was just eating, already planning to go to work, she already got a hot bath, and was already on her office clothes, with another hair style not to be missed by the population of the company, but tonight was already the party, as Sabrian's… and she really wanted to call everybody, Chiharu, and Takashi, and Naoka, and Rika, and Touya and Yukito, and especially… Li Syaoran, Sakura stared at her cookies like they were the most interesting things in the whole wide world… (www for short;)
'Kero's still asleep, I think he wouldn't mind if I leave him alone, I'll just leave a letter' She ran to left to her kitchen as she shuffled the shelves on her mini-library as she made some papers throw disordered on their organized places. 'Stupid, where's the goddamned paper and pen when you need them?' With hassle, she finally found them and scribbled with a nasty handwriting a short letter, well, if it was counted a letter, it barely had two sentences… she then placed her signature on the bottom-left corner and placed a badly drawn heart under, she carried it, flinging by her hand and air pressure, and posted it on the refrigerator with a magnet. She looked at it, and sweat dropped, it looked like a demented human made it…
Kero,
Sorry I have to leave you alone, there are some cookies on the ref, and pannacotta on Fridge, you've slept longer than usual, you did something last night eh? Oh, by the way, if ever anybody called, just act your human, and just collect their names and whatever, okish?
'It's okay, for Pete's sake, Kero would understand I'm hurrying…' trying to hide her guilt of abandoning Kero that morning…
She was back seating at the dining table, a plate of homemade cookies in front of her in a ceramic plate he bought and used and a glass of green tea beside it… she sipped the tea and ate a piece of cookie at once… She then reached for her cell phone on her bag…
"Hello?" Sakura as calling Joey, or probably Mirror, from her house, Joey was at Loyola heights with Li, as she was fixing her hair, a very weird looking knot banded by a rubber thingy with bouncing balls all over.
"Oh hello, Miss Sakura," Joey said on the phone, stressing the word Sakura, making sure Li heard it. With intent the Mirror winked at Syaoran, who blushed,
'Fuck that card, she trying to set up Sakura and I…' Li thought…
"So, did Li do something bad last night?" she said with a sigh… She expected the Mirror card to say yes, but she got it all wrong,
"Oh no, Sakura, he was goody goody with me," Joey again said, stressing Sakura and goody goody…
'Goody goody? Grrrr… shut up Mirror,' Li thought with the most annoyed mental voice he could make…
"Oh did he?" Sakura sounded amazed, 'Li shouldn't be like that on occurrences like this, he was supposed to be stubborn and bastardy, well, whatever, I guess I should believe Mirror,'
"Yeah, you betcha, miss Sakura," he again said, "He even said he wants to go inside Cloe…" he said, Mirror knew Sakura secretly wanted to make Li visit or even hire him as an employee there for a change of his miserable life… but Li was outrageous,
'Whaaaat? I don't even want to take a look at her fucking company,' Li thought arrogantly, though he meant that thought seriously,
"Really?" Sakura said excitingly on the phone. Mirror knew it; she really wanted Li to get involved with her company… Sakura accidentally tossed the cookie as she heard the good news…
'Yes! I don't even have to ask him to go with me this morning and get shameful! Woohoo!' she though radiantly, thinking she was ultimately blessed with the Holy Spirit… She was literally dancing on air…
"Yeah, he said he wants to meet you there,"
"Wait, I didn't—" Li retorted, enough to hear from Sakura's line, but Joey quickly covered his mouth, and just a baffled voice came out, 'Fuck you Mirror'
"Yaaaay, where?" Sakura aked him, she was too excited to ask why she was being fed by Joey the good news and not Syaoran himself…
Joey thought for a while before he answered her, "At the Cloe lobby," he finally said, getting the worked-up Li silent again, though he used force unfortunately to control the out-of-control Syaoran…
"Wow, thanks mirror, are you going with him?" Sakura asked then, she was already looking forward, she seemed happy; she wanted to help Li, though we can't say much about her feelings…
"Yep, okay, byebye!" Joey then said, as he was already going to disconnect the connection,
"Bye!" Sakura shouted and disconnected, and then took another oatmeal cookie and crunched it up… Everybody likes cookies!
'Lalalala… he said he's going to Cloe, yay, this is so much a good day!' She thought with glee and cheer, as she danced on her whole house without having trouble of enduring the too many furniture around them… She even mysteriously managed to do some baton throwing on her glass-styled living room managing not to break even one single glass… 'I'm so happy!' she jumped on her sofa, and lay there for a while, with a smile plastered on her face… 'I guess I better go now,' she thought as she planned again to walk and not to ride her limo,
------------------
"What did you say to her?" Li yelled at the Mirror card on her true form, she sighed, "I can't believe you did that!" He said with the raged unfair voice,
The mirror card sighed, "You're wasting your voice Li, I know for a fact you're glad someone, like me, did the job of saying you wanted to go to Cloe… and not yourself" she said at him playfully, flying towards him, getting near at him, seemingly wanting to kiss him, though she wouldn't… "C'mon, admit it," she teased him again, Li blushed, though his face didn't wipe that furious expression towards her…
"Bitch," he just whispered at her, with a low angered tone, but the mirror didn't mind what he said,
"For all I care I'm not a bitch because I'm not a human or a dog," she said, Li just looked at her blankly, she was right, she was a card,
"That's it, I'm thru with you, you're just humiliating me!" He said as he ran to his sword and pointed it again to his chest, "This life is stupid!" he yelled again,
'When will you stop Li, you're playing again,' "Whatever Li, if you do that, I'll tell Sakura what you feel," Mirror smirked at him… Li would never want that to happen even if it meant his life and death, he just hated confessions from his own mouth, or his confessions from other's mouth…
"Arrrghhh! Stupid Mirror Card!" He threw the sword at her, but expected it wouldn't do any good, he just wanted Mirror to have mercy on him and leave hi alone for a little while. And he was right. Mirror card just swayed the mirror and wooosh, the sword just returned back at his beside 'Fuck me… I feel so helpless…' he thought,
"So, are you going?" Mirror said, not attempting to have any silence, Li nodded slowly, and looking hurt, she gave up resisting on her,
'How could she free from the grasp of Sakura anyways?' Li just thought, thinking Clow was wrong to make Mirror free unlike the other cards…
"Li, your such a good boy," she said sarcastically, as he pat her hand on his head. How did she even get control over the heir of the Li family…
"You're going to pay, Mirror, grrr… you make me burst!" Li shouted mortified with her horrible wit, good thing nobody minded the great noise coming from their suite… He stammered and stomped with fury to the bathroom, "I'm going to shower for later," he yelled as he slammed the door. The sprite just watched him do his tantrum-looking action and laughed,
"I've heard that!" A yell came from the bathroom. Mirror just raised an eyebrow,
"What's wrong with laughing eh? Li?" she replied and she could again hear Li shout 'Arghh…' but now she didn't mind him say that, 'He could rest for a while now…' she thought jokingly, he had enough of her and her wise vocabulary… it was pretty obvious y'all…
------------------
"You're an idiot to do this to me, Mirror," Li mumbled with hot temper, fuming. He was seating at one of the steel benches in the lobby, and people were looking at him strangely, he was carrying an over-sized sword and Li was talking to himself, but actually, he was talking to Mirror, who was in an invisible form… 'Grrr… just you wait Mirror, the moment I get a hand on your paper-back card, I'm going to tear it into puny pieces…' he thought with such hostility he could be mistaken as a murderer (A/N – Which he truly was, he really was the one who killed his sisters…)
"Hihihi… c'mon Li, don't be like that, you're already at Cloe," she whispered on his ear, certainly not making anyone hear her comment, if they did, people might thing Li was a ventriloquist… "You're gonna enjoy your time," she continued, and Li was already pissed piqued…
"SHUT UP, WILL YA?" He boomed, and stood, successfully making a fool and folly out if his own self. People fliched by the loud roar of Li's voice, and he blushed, returning their stares with an apologetic reply of a mumbled and embarrassed sorry… He could hear Mirror whimper with controlled though baffled giggled… Fume started to collect in his brain… 'Stupid Mirror,'
"Li!" a woman voice erupted the library, though two souls were heard going to Li's bench hurriedly. Syaoran looked at their summons and sighed, 'About time they saved my day of being an idiot,' he thought annoyed, and Mirror sensed and sighed… It was Sakura and the Vice president, Tomoyo,
"Hi Miss Sakura, and Miss Tomoyo," an employee greeted the two and bowing in front of them, the two greeted them in reply, but stopped the other employees from following the first man to do the bowing thing. They didn't want to treat them that way… thought it looked luxurious, Li was envious at attention near Sakura, she was so famous, and that even strangers would greet her like she was some queen or some voodoo goddess… and Tomoyo too… the two had stunning beauty, big brains and good luck, and despite they were women, they were very successful corporate leaders… Li sighed again… 'Ugh… I'm getting wooohy with them again,' he said, banging his head with his palm… trying hard not to make an expression of jealousy with his eyes…
"Erm… Li?" Sakura was already in front pf him, and he didn't even notice Sakura and Tomoyo… he stared at those big, emerald eyes that glistened with such glory and glee… he observed it carefully, not minding Sakura's weird stare at her… It still shone the shine Li remembered he was in love to… He remembered in his school days, when Li's image of Sakura changed when he was at his senior year of high school… all because of those eyes, which captivated his heart…
---Flashback---
'Finally, it's already the start of senior year… sigh… after this I'm going to go to Tomoeda University,' Li thought, as he walked by the corridor leading to his mentioned class, he again was in the same bunch of guys and gals, it never seemed the school changed their arrangement. Li was teamed up again with his best friend Takashi, then Chiharu, then Rika and Naoka, and Tomoyo, and… Sakura Kinomoto… 'Where is Sakura anyway? I haven't seen her since the first week of vacation' Li recollected, he did admit he was curious about Sakura, and he really haven't seen her even Tomoyo didn't know why she was gone, Tomoyo just told Li that Sakura called at her house and she said that she was very far away from home, though she didn't say the exact location she was, she just said Sakura sounded happy and excited…
"Hmm…" he just mumbled, then a hand brushed on his shoulder suddenly and Li flinched with surprise,
"Hey, nice meeting you again at school," a cheerful voice said behind Li, Syaoran looked behind and sighed… It was only Yamazaki Takashi with happily squinted eyes that never left his face, 'Why did I get worked-up that moment' he thought, he was acting strange,
"Oh, hi Takashi," Li said with a tired voice that wasn't like him at all, he would say hi with rather an apathetic tone than an exhausted one,
"Somethin' wrong?" Takashi looked at his friend with his mind-breaking eyes, which always told what others truly feel, Syaoran shook his head, but it was no use, Yamazaki clearly understood there was really something wrong…
"Nah, just thinking,"
"…of what?" Takashi asked, not leaving space for a piece of silence,
"I don' know,"
"Why can you think if you don't know what you're thinking?" he said
"I don't know, I just keep thinking something, and the next second it's another thing I'm thinking so I really don't know what I'm thinking because I'm thinking so fast," Li said, and Takashi looked at him, and observed what he said, that was pretty much like of a tongue twister,
Takashi looked at him, and grinned, and Li looked at it and sighed, lightening himself up. Somehow, that grin had the power to calm down anyone,
"Chiharu!" Takashi shouted as he saw the pretty, curled-up haired girl passing by the school kitchen, he then faced Li, "Hey, buddy, catch ya later, see ya," he said quickly, like a reflex and ran up to greet Chiharu, which by the way was close to her… Li knew he loved Chiharu. She watched her hugging his best friend, and he felt a tingle of jealousy, it was a sign of being a hopeless romantic,
'Idiot! What's happening to me!' Li thought furiously at himself, he didn't get that envy before, well, at least for that reason, probably just because of his own hormones' envy. He tried to assure himself,
He then realized he was already at his classroom's front door, and his now-usual absence of mind annoyed him. He opened the sliding door, and just as then, the usual blast of voices, laughing, ushering, cursing, panting, and etc. voices met him, and he sighed again. He didn't however felt tired, just that he just want to sigh that day.
'Sakura?'
He looked in the middle of the classroom, and even though it was crowded with loads of male students and a few females around, he knew it was Sakura… It was the usual trend on first-day-of-class situations… He didn't see her face, even though he wanted to, but there were too many people, and he didn't want to get involved with the rampaging fanatics around her…
'Syaoran?' Sakura thought curiously, still, she was smiling with the crowd around her, 'Hmm, he looks gloomy, may I talk to him?' she thought for a fleeting second, and her brain answered an instant affirmative to her. She though didn't know why, (A/N – Sorry, I made Sakura stupid;;)
But on the moment, she wanted to finish her business with the other students around her, and finally, it did, and she was thankful their interest with her was gone. But as the people did lessen, he knew why in the first place, there were tons of souls around Kinomoto
…
"Saku-Sakura, is that you?" Syaoran barely sputtered the words out of his taped mouth, he was simply stunned, and Sakura was simply stunning… The Stunned and The Stunning…
She was prettier than she was already was last school year. She was taller, and slimmer, successfully getting rid of her chubbiness… Her skin was considerably tanned evenly. She had longer hair, and was wavy, the hazel-brown gleam matching with the Tomoeda High School uniform. Her bosoms were larger that men would die for, and everything in her body was so right, just right for her… Even her personality was considered right…
'Whoa,' Li thought
Sakura blushed like of the wildest rose, and Li observed the growing glowing red surface on her cheeks, but nevertheless, he didn't care, just a lot of questions burst on his mind,
"What happened to you, and where were you?" Li said excited. Sakura carried a seat beside his chair and sat. On Li's mind, he was glorious; he really wanted to talk about her vacation…
"Oh, nothing, Okinawa," she said and she laughed. Li just looked at her amused, after that, he didn't say something, and it was Sakura's turn to study him like a book…
'Wow, he sure also changed, he isn't the type to be this quiet,' Sakura thought, looking at him. 'Hehe, he's a lot cuter to, did I say that?' she thought again, now giggling like a jumpy lass…
"Err… what's funny?"
"Hehe, nothing Syaoran," Sakura replied. Li was happy she used Syaoran than Li…
Syaoran blushed, and Sakura followed his blush. She knew the reason why he was blushing. 'Weird,' Sakura thought,
"Uhh… Saku-chan, why are you blushing?" Tomoyo said innocently, but Sakura had the feeling she was teasing her. Syaoran and Sakura then finally got to their senses, and looked away. They were lucky Tomoyo was the only one who noticed the two. Syaoran met the left eye of Sakura, and they smiled a little to themselves…
"Meet you later," Syaoran mumbled and Sakura nodded slowly, trying not to make Tomoyo notice their message… but what they didn't know, 'later' was also the start of their new relationship to the next level…
---End Flashback---
"Hellooo? Syaoran…" Sakura said, as she gently slapped his cheek to get his attention and so Li did, Sakura then heard Mirror laugh a little,
"What are you laughing at?" Sakura asked the card, but Mirror just smiled, she was easily mistaken as some card that cannot have that same emotions people have… Sakura nodded slowly, in Tomoyo's perception, Sakura was acting sometimes bossy to her cards, but she couldn't help it… Like Clow did, he was also strict with the cards' behavior, or they would get uncontrolled and would end up destroying the whole town, or even the whole world…
"Huh?" Li said softly,
"Come on Li, I'm going to show you the corporation," Sakura insisted, dragging Syaoran's hand to help him stand up…
'Why did I even remembered that memory, awell, I was still young and naïve there, I can't believe I was embarrassed in front of women before,' he thought, just like he was in college, he had completely changed, "Alright, alright, just stop dragging me Sakura," Li finally said, forcing himself to free himself from Sakura's clutches,
He looked at Tomoyo and Mirror, suggesting they would help him, but they stood there doing nothing, giggling, and the other people too, were looking at Li with a twisted expression. How would you think if you see your 'conservative and unflirtatious' boss pulling of a handsome brunette man's hand and shouting and begging to him for something? 'Grrr… women…' he said upset, as he just watched the two, free women just watching him with tease,
"Sakura, get, hold, of, yourself!" he finally shouted, though only loudly for Sakura to hear, and so she did, "if you wanna show me, don't act like we're going to get married on the way," Li said, finally in success of flinging his arms out of her reach, Sakura on the other hand blushed at his statement… Li perfectly understood how she got so sensitive on anything related to romantic relationships…
'Why the hell did I blush!' Sakura asked herself, guilty for the crime of merely blushing, but instead, she just replied him "Okay, okay, fine, wadever," Li smiled at him with grace, thanking him not to make a riot again. He looked at the lobby room, and thankful the people's curiosity wearied out too, unfortunately Sakura wasn't
"Alright! So where do we start?" Li said energetically, somehow, he sounded radiant and interested, and even himself wondered why,
"Uhm, I guess to my office then let's see if we can talk to Mister Nagasa," Sakura mumbled shyly, careful with her body and making sure she won't blush… again…
They started to walk, and Sakura noticed Tomoyo and Mirror were just following her and Li, and she finally got annoyed by their silence while Sakura and Syaoran were in a chaos of feelings… Sakura admitted without Tomoyo or a card's help, she was sometimes useless… Sakura sighed deeply, releasing some of her tension and burden to the air,
"Okay, so here's the elevator, and you have to ride it to go to my office," Sakura said without feeling, 'wait, that's obvious'
Syaoran laughed out of the blue, and Sakura giggled nervously… why did she feel so panicked and fidget?
They came in and they waited inside impatiently, especially for Sakura… She even wished the elevator won't get broken, and trapping them in the little rectangle box that carried them to the floors of the building… or commonly called as 'The Elevator'
With blessing, they got out, and you may be happy to know Sakura was the first one to get out. For the first time in her life, she was afraid of elevators. "Uhm, this is the last floor and my office 's on the left, Tomoyo's however is on the right," Sakura said, 'Goodness, I sound like a tour guide… wait… I am a tour guide,' she thought to herself stupidly
"Is this your office?" Styaoran asked bedazzled by something he saw on Sakura's office. He looked at Sakura, and mounted a slow nod of embarrassment, well, she should be ashamed of her office… It was rained with pink and nothing else, Tomoyo laughed as Sakura threw the nod, but Sakura threw her back with a death glare… (A/N – To pinoys, WaLa laNG!)
"Can I see also Tomoyo's?" Syaoran said, indirectly teasing the vice-president of Cloe… he predicted her office going to be filled with leather, Tomoyo gave him a cold stare of warning, and he experienced that cold shudder… It's strange how nice people get evil down their quick way….
------------------
There they were, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Li in front of the conference room, thought Sakura sighed when she saw the room was still empty,
"Li, I think… I think… you should…" Sakura can't say it, and she looked at Tomoyo, her best friend, for help. Tomoyo instantly got the message and winked at Syaoran. Sakura was trying to verbalize her invitation for Li to come,
"Li, what she wants to say is that, she wants you to meet her and Mister Nagasa at Sabrian's tonight, 7:00pm straight" Tomoyo informed him and he nodded, it seems like there was no choice, or he'll probably end up having suicide again, and Mirror blackmailing him that if he did managed to successfully kill himself. In the name of all justice, she'll tell Sakura everything about him, like Mirror was his own, walking and possibly living diary…
Sakura sighed, feeling a little bit helpless; she can't even say that simple sentence in front of him. But he though was her ex after all… and to think you'll meet him again, covered in all the bad luck he had received… 'Arghh….'
Li looked at Sakura and he laughed in his mind, in some way, he was going to a party tonight, but the question is, what will he do there… Li sighed, and he looked away, they were still at the front of the door, looking like silly people waiting for someone, whom wasn't even inside,
"Well, should I go now?" Li asked them, Sakura glanced at her wristwatch and with a mild upset face, she nodded, Sakura didn't know why she was upset, she just felt like she wanted to feel upset… (A/N – I know, I know, I'm so labo)
"Yeah, we still have some paper work to finish," Tomoyo said, informing Sakura with her business type of tone she can use always,
"Kaay," Sakura said without care, though Tomoyo didn't mind, it was always the voice of Sakura when she says something like that. Sakura definitely hated work
"Mirror, you still have to guard Li from making suicide, hmm?" she said to the blue sparkly thingy behind Li. In Sakura's eyes, she could see Mirror nodding with obedience, Li again was amazed at the Mirror, any minute he was alone, she would talk to him or tease him… or do something to him, but now, she was as good as a dog can be… Though, he didn't make a plan to tell Sakura.
"Well, bye, and I'll guess I have to see you later," Li said without interest and strode to go home again, and dress up. It was late noon and it was wise to go and get ready for the damn party Sakura wanted to invite him, or probably Sakura, no, Tomoyo would kill him. With Sakura's and Tomoyo's waves, he finally ran to the elevator… with mirror of course behind
"So?" Mirror mumbled in his ear while he was alone on the elevator, he was waiting till it reached the ground floor,
"So what?"
"Are you going to the party?" The Mirror said while giggling a little, Li had the feeling there was a mischievous tingle in her voice… she always had…
"Yes, yes, would you cut the party thing, I would like to forget the party business even just for five minutes!" Annoyed, Li shouted, at least Mirror was the only one who would hear his rage. As revenge however, she used the annoying mirror again and then it wrote…
No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes… No… yes… no… yes… no… yes…
An endless no…yes… no appeared on the mirror and Li was just about to break the mirror into shards but he was just going to receive his sword again, with a tendency he might kill himself, and he could imagine the words…
Li Syaoran, a poor, helpless, miserable, good for nothing guy, loves AND is obsessed to Sakura Kinomoto, the PRESIDENT of Cloe corporation that he even jerks off just by her photograph,
He could see the bold letters in the headlines… and people throwing his dead body to the bottomless sea, Li shivered, and Mirror unexpectedly laughed rudely, a laugh he never heard from her mouth…
"Sigh… yeah, sure, whatever Sakura says," Li finally stated, with that, Mirror flew in front of him and winked sweetly, however, Li went more annoyed,
"Wanna go shopping?" Mirror suggested, but she knew Syaoran would definitely say no, who is he to say yes,
"Arghh! Would you stop asking me damn questions!" he shouted, he shot the screen where they were supposed to be, and they were still way far to the ground, it seemed longer than usual, Li sighed, and Mirror again got back to her usual giggling self…
"Whatever Li," she just said, "You have to go," she said exasperated,
"Well, it's obvious I have no money," Li said, with a more exasperated tone,
"Then steal," she said, and she vanished, leaving Li with a glance on her mirror, saying, I wish I could,
'Arghhh…. Damn stupid fucking mirror,'
Ding,
-----------------
Sakura reached for her phone. She had to invite everybody, or for her, the party wouldn't be much of fun… Actually, she already called for everyone, even Yukito, except for her own big brother, Touya…
"Lo Touya here," a male voice said, Sakura observed it was high-pitched and irritated than ever
"Uhmm, Touya, am I disturbing you or somethin'?" Sakura asked, then she heard a mumble of girls whispering on the other line,
"Hey, sir, is that you're wife?" A lady's voice sounded on Touya's line, Sakura thought the lady was jealous
"Miss Hanabashi, it's my sister, sis-ter," he said, making a hell of a voice, "Hello, Sakura, it's class time here! Do you know the other time you've called, there was a riot the students made, about Touya Kinomoto a two-timer?" he whispered annoyed,
"Well, I just want you to know—"
"the party's going to proceed later night, Sakura, you've been telling all of us that since… ever," he said,
I sweat dropped, 'Well, forgive me, I'm the president after all,' I thought,
"Okay, okay, bye," I said, almost having a tone of apology,
"Bye… monster," he said with a laugh,
'How dare he… he even had the time to tease me' I said with a sigh, 'It's so annoying I have a brother like him…'
'Nadeshiko…' her mother popped out of her mind out of the blue…
Sakura returned her cell phone again on her bag, and shoved the papers out of the table drawer…
She looked at the wall clock above the ecru ceiling on her office… Sakura liked ecru ceilings, it made her calm…
5:00 pm it said, she sighed, there was no more left time, a knock then was heard on her door…
'Tomoyo,' Sakura sighed, and giggled with little too much voice…. Instantly forgetting her mother, and her brother as well…
-----------------
"Tomoyo, stop this baloney!" Sakura pleaded to her best friend as a hand crawled on her face with make-up… They were in the featured private rooms of Sabrian's… Tomoyo ignored her begging, and she just continued surfacing her hands on Sakura's face… Sakura stared at her best friend, she was already dressed, with her hair laid down, a leather jacket covering her body, and yellow alligator pants… Tomoyo looked so sexy in Sakura's perception…
"Saku-chan, you have to look beauty—ful," she said with a French accent she can always express, she then reached for the comb, and she combed elegantly Sakura's mocha brown hair. On the other hand, Sakura grabbed her hand, though Tomoyo 'skillfully' evaded her grappling clutches…
"But I'm already!" Sakura said,
"No you don't" Tomoyo said teasingly,
"Tomoyo, you've done already too much, you even made me wear this weird puffy dress!" I exclaimed, as I made my finger point in the mirror the weird-looking, pink dress Sakura wore, that looked like it was about to explode any minute now,
"Well, I think it's cute," Tomoyo said, Sakura had the feeling her friend was having a huge ego boost again, "Don't you think so? Kero?" she asked,
The stuff toy looking creature popped out of Sakura's bag, "Yes, Tomoyo," he said teasingly,
"You did say about Syaoran coming here to the others?" she said, changing the subject,
Sakura looked at her, "Nope, I thought it would be better if it was a surprise, we really felt bad he came back again to China, don't you think?"
"Yeah, especially you," she said, smiling at Sakura, who blushed, Tomoyo laughed, sometimes she loved making Sakura blushed, I made her so cute…
"O c'mon, you're returning to your sappy self Tomoyo, it's all in the past now though, I don't think there's still sparkle on our past relationship…." Sakura said, trying to get rid of her blush,
"When will Li go here anyway?" Tomoyo asked,
"Hm?"
Tomoyo paused for something, thinking very deeply, "Nah, never mind," she said
"Aren't you finished yet? You've been combing me a lot longer,"
"Sakura, it's for the texture of your hair, and you don't want to weaken your cuticles and make your hair fall off," she said, just like any person knew that,
'I'm beginning to think why the hell did she even become a Vice president, she should be a designer,' Sakusa sighed, 'This is going to take long, I can feel it….'
"Did Eriol got in touch with you?" Tomoyo asked, innocently, Sakura flinched,
"Eriol? Well, did he?"
"Ahh, no, just thinking, hehehehehehe," Tomoyo excused, 'so he didn't, that means he only talked to me… weird though, why the hell, and what's about the surprise thingy, I'm beginning to think he's planning something…' Tomoyo thought…
"You're finished," Tomoyo said simply, and Sakura was just about to rejoice, "We'll just wait till the party starts, thirty minutes more, and guests will start filling the whole restaurant probably," she said,
Sakura nodded, 'I'm just glad everyone's going to come,' she then felt the pink hues occupying her cheeks, but she thanked God Tomoyo didn't notice it…

A/N – OMG! I didn't think the chapter's going to be so long, and that's another cliff hanger to live with, sorry, I think it's really boring since I've gotten the whole preparation-for-the-party a little exaggerated, but hey, at least they prepared it, so you have to say the party's going to be exciting, don't you think, people?Heheh, well, that's all for chapter 5, and don't worry, I'm not going to neglect again, it's just that I really have to pass jr. high or else I'll be on hell… AGHHHHHHHHHH! Wahehehehehehehehe…. Well, adieu!
