Chapter6- The Cards
Touya: "SAKURA! What are you doing here!"
Touya takes Sakura by surprise and grabs on to the nearest arm.
Sakura: "Touya what a, pleasant surprise. Nervous laugh"
"…And with him? Why is he here anyway?" Touya was pointing to the person who Sakura was clinging to. She looked up to see an incredibly stiff Syaoran blushing beet red and glaring at Touya. Touya was doing the same. (Not the blushing, the glareing)
"Sorry Syaoran-kun." She said blushing a slight shade of pink and letting go of Syaoran's arms. "It's OK, I don't mind." He said still glaring at Touya. Sakura held his arm again. And like before he was stiff but relaxed after a minute.
Sakura: "Touya, #1: This is his house. #2: He is my boyfriend and has been for 6 ½ years, and #3: This is a free world and if you don't lighten up you won't be living in it."
Syaoran and Touya were taken back.
Syaoran: How can my pretty little Ying-Fa be so tough when she is so gentle. I know she can be tough when she wants I suppose especially when she is standing up for Tomoyo, I or sadly, Eli.
While Syaoran was thinking so was Touya.
Touya: Why is she standing up for that little gaki? I don't know what she sees in him. He is always breaking her heart, yet, she continues to love him. Well I am not going to let him take her from me. Nor am I going to let Eli hurt her.
Sakura looked up to see Syaoran starring down at her with a caring smile on his face.
"Syaoran-kun are you OK?" Sakura had a worried look on her face and in her voice.
Syaoran: "Oh um ya I…I'm OK"
Yukito: "To-ya lighten up. You have to let go, she isn't a little girl anymore."
Touya: "I know she isn't a little girl anymore it is just so hard to let go. Plus I don't trust that little gaki."
Tomoyo: "I'm sorry Eli-chan I didn't mean to scare you. Plus you may want to let go of Sakura-chan while you still have arms."
Eli opened his left eye to find Syaoran glaring like he has never glared before, His fists were clinched so tight the circulation could be cut off, His teeth were gritting together, His face was blood red, his hair was on end, and steam was coming out of his ears. After a minute when he realized he was grabbing on Sakura's waste he freaked out and hid behind Tomoyo. When Syaoran went to go after Eli, Sakura walked in front of Syaoran and started telling him to calm down. It was like stepping in frount of a mad bull, only he wouldn't knock her over. For once Touya wanted Syaoran to win the argument. Yukito was the only thing stopping Touya from hurting Eli for grabbing his sister like that.
By the time everyone had calmed down it was time for dinner. Everyone was sat down in places they would not hurt everyone else and they ate, Even though Sakura had threatened to us the 'Silent Card' once.
Sakura: "So Lita-Jade do you study Clow Magic?"
Lita-Jade: "Yes I do. But I mostly work with my cards."
Eli: "What cards?"
Lita-Jade got a bag similar to Sakura's only hers was green and her snap was of a black up-side-down crescent moon. (Similar to the moon the Negaverse in SM that I don't own. ) She opened the bag and out flew out at least 52 green cards. They were circling the table. The back was like the Star and Clow Cards. The difference is where the Star is on the Star Cards a moon is like on the bag. There are yellow moons on each corner of the cards and they're green.
Sakura: "There so pretty."
Syaoran: "Ya they are. WhisperingNot a pretty as you though Sakura-chan."
Sakura stared at him for a minute then gave him a quick kiss on the lips so Tomoyo could not get it on tape. He went right stiff and blushed beet red but after a minute stopped and put his arm around her shoulder.
Touya: "Why that little…"
Yukito: "To-ya, breathe."
Lita-Jade: "OK, come on back."
Then the cards flue back into her hands.
Sakura: "Lita-Jade may I see your cards please?"
Lita-Jade: "Call me Lita, and sure if I can see yours."
Sakura looked at Syaoran with a questioning look. He shook his head in agreement so Sakura and Lita traded cards. Sakura, Syaoran, and Eli all looked at the cards, they where similar to Sakura's, they even had identical spirits in them.
Sakura: "Lita how did you get these cards?"
Lita-Jade: "I made them. Like you made the Hope Card"
Sakura: "How did you…"
Lita: "…know that you made the Hope Card? I am somewhat of a psychic. Sorry guess I forgot to mention that."
"Ya you did oh powerful psych-O." Eli said while bowing as to royalty wile emphasizing the sound O.
Lita-Jade: "Oh shut-up Clow Reed want-a-be."
Syaoran: "Ouch that had to hurt."
Sakura: "Can we please stop fighting it is Christmas Eve after all. Now stop or go to the training doujo outside."
Eli: "Gladly."
Syaoran: whispering "Sakura-chan can I watch?"
"Syaoran-kun?" Sakura was very surprised in her boyfriend.
Syaoran: "Gomen ne Sakura-chan. I was just kidding." putting his hands up to protect himself
When everyone was done 5 minutes later everyone went there separate ways. Lita-Jade went to the doujo to train with Jazmine, Touya and Yukito went to watch the girls, Tomoyo and Mailyn went to work on more outfits for Sakura along with something else and Sakura and Syaoran went to watch a movie in Syaoran's bedroom.
In Syaorans Bedroom……
Sakura: "What do you want to watch Syaoran-kun?"
Syaoran: "To tell you the truth I don't have much to watch. I just have the movies Tomoyo made."
Sakura: "Can we watch the Time Card then?"
Syaoran: "I think I have it, yeah here it is."
Sakura and Syaoran went over to Syaoran's bed to watch the movie. As the movie went on Syaoran got more and more upset.
Syaoran: I can't believe I treated her like that. Bossing her around, treating her like dirt, insulting her, I acted like a moronic jerk to her, and yet, she still loves me. If someone treated me like that, I would remember, but she acts as if nothing happened.
When Syaoran snapped out of his thoughts he felt something on his chest. It was Sakura she had fallen asleep on his chest. He looked up to see the movie was over.
SYAORANS POV
I really should turn the tape off, but if I do I may wake her up and I really don't want to do that. I know.
I picked up the phone right by my bed and dialed the number to Lita-Jade's cell phone.
"Lita do you have a flout card?"
Lita-Jade: "I have Levitate. Why?"
Can you left something gently for me? It's in my room."
Lita-Jade: "Kay be there in 5."
In 5 minutes……
Lita-Jade: "Syaoran can I come in?"
"Come in but be quiet."
Lita opened the door and seen Sakura on me.
"Lita it is not what you think. Just get her off me please."
Lita-Jade: "Levitate lift Sakura of Xaolan."
I got up turned off the TV then went over to where Sakura was and took her of Lita's card into my arms.
"Thanks Lita."
Lita-Jade: "Hang on Kiddo what were you two doing up here anyway?"
"We were watching a movie and she fell asleep. That's it. Lita you know as well as I do mother would disown me if she even had an assumption I would try something like that."
Lita-Jade: "Alright well see ya Kiddo."
After Lita left I went down the hall and started down the stairs. Suddenly Sakura started to stir.
NORMAL POV
Chapter9-A Night of Discussion
"Let's get you to bed Sakura-chan." Syaoran said with that makes Sakura melt smile.
Sakura: I wonder why Syaoran-kun is looking at me like that. Oh well I don't care. I just love being here in Syaorans arms like this, without Tomoyo taping us and Eli-kun annoying Syaoran-kun to death.
YAWN
Sakura snuggled closer to Syaoran.
A few minutes later in T+S's room……
Tomoyo: "OK Mailyn we have to hurry up, Sakura-chan should be coming any minute now."
Mailyn: "OK one of my friends, friends have a twin brother who said he would do it for us."
Tomoyo: "Great Mailyn-chan now all we have to do is……"
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.
Tomoyo: "Who is it!"
Syaoran: "Syaoran and Sakura."
Tomoyo: "One minute!" whispering "Mailyn-chan hide quickly"
With Mailyn hidden Tomoyo went over to the door and opened it to find her best friend in Syaorans arms.
"Li-kun is Sakura-chan OK?" Tomoyo said scared and worried for her friend.
Syaoran: "Hai. She's fine Tomoyo-san, just tired."
Tomoyo: "That's good. Her bed is right here."
Syaoran: "OK."
Tomoyo: "So Li-kun how have you been doing in school? Anything special going on?"
Syaoran: "Tomoyo-san what are you up too?"
Tomoyo: "Nothing, Honest, just wondering."
Syaoran: "Not much. There is a dance the 26th though. Well I had better get going to bed now bye."
As Syaoran walked very quickly out the door Eli was walking to Tomoyo's bedroom to talk to Tomoyo and Mailyn about how the plan was going.
Eli: "By the immense blush on Li-kun's face I say you started faze 1 of the plan?"
Mailyn who was coming out of the closet said to her comrades. "Hai she did start faze one Moon-kun."
Eli: "Did you to find our candidate you two?"
Tomoyo: "Hai, we did. He is a twin brother of a friend a friend of Mailyn's."
Eli: "What a mouthful Tomoyo-chan. Anyhow, who is the lucky guy."
Mailyn: "Jacob-David Coners. He goes by J.D though."
Eli: "When do we meet the lucky candidate Mailyn-san?"
Mailyn: "My best friend Aronia Spells is bringing him with her tomorrow when she comes with her brother Zander."
Eli: "Zander? Red hair, green eyes, really pale skin?"
Mailyn: "Yeah? How did you know?"
Eli: "Met him the day you dragged me out of the house by my collar. Nice kid."
Mailyn: "Sorry about that Moon-kun."
Eli: "It's OK and call me Eli."
Mailyn: "I am going to bed now, night."
"I am going to bed too. Night Tomoyo-chan." Eli said giving Tomoyo a kiss on the cheek.
Tomoyo: "Night Eli-kun."
So everyone left the room but Tomoyo. Tomoyo got on her Pajamas climbed into bed and fell to sleep thinking how cute Sakura would be if her plan to get Syaoran to take Sakura to the dance worked affectively.
Chapter 10- New Discoveries
9:30……
Sakura: "Thank you Wei, that breakfast was delicious."
Syaoran: "Yes Wei that was good… thanks."
Wei: "I did not make it Master Syaoran and Card Mistress. Lita-Jade did."
S+S: "Lita-Jade!"
Lita-Jade walked out of the kitchen holding a tray with a pitcher of juice and some cups.
Lita-Jade: "Would anyone like some peach juice? Wei would you like some?"
S+S: "Yes please."
Wei: "Miss I can't I am on duty."
"Nonsense" Lita-Jade said pouring 3 glasses of juice. "Here Wei, if someone gets in
trouble with mother or the Elders it will be me." She said sternly, handing him a glass. Wei took one look at Lita-Jades face and drank the juice thanked Lita-Jade and walked off to do his duties.
Lita-Jade: "Man he's stubborn."
Sakura: "Lita-Jade…"
Lita-Jade: "Nani?"
Sakura: "You speak Japanese?"
Lita-Jade: "Hai. Was that your question?"
Sakura: "No. If you don't mind me asking, where do you live?"
Lita-Jade: "Athens. Athens Greece with…."
"Ahh the home of the god Athena, interesting place." Said a mystery voice from behind Lita-Jade.
Without turning around to see whom it was she responded to the comment by saying "Eli you are really starting to bug me when you walk up behind me like that."
Eli: "Someone's grouchy this morning."
Lita-Jade: "Don't push me."
Eli: "Why not. What are you going to do, though the Clow book at me?"
Lita-Jade: "OK."
E+S+S: "NANI?"
Lita Jade flipped a card in the air and said. "Quiet, get Eli out of my face, Quiet."
Suddenly Eli is nowhere to be found.
"Where did he go?" Syaoran said putting his hand in front of Sakura.
Lita-Jade: "Don't worry your pretty little chestnut head off. He should be back in 3…2…1…"
Suddenly Eli walks in totally soaked and red in the face with anger.
Eli: "Wei get me a towel!"
Lita-Jade: "Now leave me alone."
Eli: "Your cards are rip-offs. Silent does the EXACT same thing!"
Lita-Jade: "No Duh. I modeled mine after the Clow Cards!"
Sakura: whispering "Syaoran-kun her cards really are a lot like mine. Let's just hope we don't run into a guardian."
Syaoran: "Agreed. Sakura-chan have you noticed the stuffed animal Jazmine is always carrying around and how it looks like Kerobaros?"
Sakura: "I wonder if it is her card guardian."
Eli walked over to Sakura and Syaoran shaking a towel on his head. "I was starting to think the same thing. I could have sworn I heard it talking when I went to get Jazmine from the doujo this morning.
Syaoran: "We should keep an eye them."
Sakura: "I think that we should go talk to Kero-chan and Yue-san about this."
Eli: "That's a good idea Sakura-san."
Sakura: "Touya-kun, Yukito-san may we speak to Yue-san please?"
Yukito: "Umm…OK."
Great silver wing engulfed Yukito as a magic circle appeared below him. When the wings parted there stood an angelic figure dressed in shades of silver, white and blue. He had long white-silver hair to match his robes. In the center of his chest plate he had a shimmering, pale sky-blue Jem. Then he opened his piercing crystal cat-like eyes.
Yue: "Mistress is there something wrong?"
Sakura: "We don't know. Have you seen Jazmine and that stuffed animal she is always carrying around?"
"I have." Kero said coming around the corner with Spinner.
Spinner: "She always has it."
Syaoran: "Maybe their guardians like you guys?"
Eli: "I don't know."
Kero: "Why Eli."
Syaoran: "Jazmine is 4 years older then Lita. If she was Lita's guardian they would be the same age. Would they not?"
Ruby: "That is not true. Master made me 7 years older."
Touya: "For once, she has point."
Ruby: "Not funny Touya-kun."
Eli: "She is right though. You can choose the age of a guardian. Clow Reed chose for Yue-san and Kero-chan to be young. Why I can't remember though…"
Lita-Jade: "Can't remember what?"
Syaoran: "Nothing. Do you want something?"
Lita-Jade: "Three people are here who want to see you Kiddo."
Syaoran: "What are their names?"
Lita-Jade: "Zander and Aronia are here and with someone named J.D Coners."
Syaoran: "Hi Zander and Aronia."
Aronia: "Hey L.W." cheerful wave
Zander: "Hi Syaoran."
Syaoran: "Don't call me that Aronia."
"Be nice Syaoran-kun." Sakura said grabbing onto Syaoran's arm.
Syaoran: "Gomen ne Sakura-chan."
Zander: "Hang on a second. Your name is Sakura."
Sakura: "Yes. How did you know?"
Zander: "Syaoran never stops talking about you. He's right you are gorgeous."
"Zander!" Aronia says with an annoyed tone in her voice as she hit Zander on the head. "Gomen Kinomoto-san."
Syaoran turned stiff and beet red from either embarrassment or anger is un-known. Probably both as Sakura looks up at him with an annoyed look on her face. "Do you tell all of your friend's things like that Syaoran-kun? Thank you for the complement Zander."
Zander: "You're welcome."
Sakura: "Call me Sakura Spells-san, can I call you Aronia?"
"Sure" Aronia said cheerfully
Tomoyo: "Li-kun, who are these nice people?"
Syaoran: "This is my best friend Zander and his sister Aronia."
Aronia: "Hello" cheerful wave
Zander: "Hi!"
"……And this is J.D Coners. He is a friend of mine." Aronia said with a wink.
Mailyn comes quickly down the stairs, grabs Tomoyo, Aronia, J.D and Eli, and then runs back up the stairs.
Zander: "Has she lost it?"
Syaoran: "Yup."
Zander: "So Sakura, you're the Card Mistress. Am I right?"
Sakura: "U-m-m-m yeah how did you know?"
Syaoran: "Like you told Tomoyo-san I told Zander. I've known Zander since before we caught the cards. So I knew I could trust him."
Yukito: "Have you guys seen Jazmine anywhere?"
Sakura: "Gomen… no."
Syaoran: "Did you look in the doujo?"
Yukito: "Yeah, I just came from there."
Zander: "Maybe she is in Lita-Jades garden?"
Lita-Jade: "She is."
Sakura: "Lita?"
Zander: "That's Lita-Jade Li?"
Lita-Jade: "That's my name. Don't wear it out. Let me see. Green eyes, red hair. Hi Zander."
Zander: "You look better in the present then past."
Sakura: "Speaking of present when do we hand them out?"
Syaoran: "Tonight at the party."
Sakura: "Cool, I can't wait."
Zander: "I'm staying for the party tonight along with Aronia and D.J."
Sakura: "That's great."
Jazmine: "Was someone looking for me?"
Yukito: "Yeah, I was Jazmine."
Jazmine: "Ohayo Aniki."
Syaoran: "You speak Japanese?"
"I am Yukito's sister am I not?" Jazmine said, in fact, in Japanese.
"Hai…" Syaoran whispered in a worried tone. "That's what we are afraid of." Sakura finished.
Yukito: "She lived with me until she was 12, and then went to Greece with her best friend."
Syaoran: "Who was that?"
Lita-Jade: "Me. Kiddo when does the party start?"
Syaoran: "Don't call me Kiddo and 8:00 tonight."
"Thank you, and what ever you say Kiddo." Lita-Jade said as she walked away with Jazmine.
Syaoran: "One of these days Lita, One of these days."
Chapter11-What a Morning!
Tomoyo: "OK, is everything understood, J.D?"
J.D: "Yes, but how am I going to pull this off in two days!"
Mailyn: "Just start and move into faze 3 when we tell you. OK?
DJ: "Got it."
Eli: "Tomoyo you are going to tape this right?"
Tomoyo: "No."
Eli+ Mailyn: "NANI!"
Tomoyo: "Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers. DUH! Yeah I'm going to tape it! Kami-sama, you think one of my best friends and my boy-friend would know me better." (AN: "Sorry for the OOC-ness on Tomoyo's half. That was something I would say. I just thought it funny.")
Eli+ Mailyn: anime sigh
Eli: "That was close. I thought she was sick there for a minute."
Mailyn: "You're telling me."
DJ: "I take it her not tapping would be a bad thing?"
Eli: "She tapes everything. I shouldn't be telling you this, but once she tapped Sakura-sans phone when she was talking to Li-kun and taped their voices. So the answer to your question is……?"
DJ: "Yes."
Mailyn: "She really likes dressing up Sakura-san."
Tomoyo: "I am still here."
Eli+ Mailyn: "Sorry Tomoyo-chan."
Tomoyo: "Its OK, lets just get you and J.D dressed for tonight. I have the perfect outfits." starry eyed
Eli: "Oh joy."
DJ: "I have a bad feeling about this."
Mailyn: whispering "You should."
Tomoyo: "What was that Mailyn-chan?"
Mailyn: "Nothing Tomoyo-chan."
Zander: "Is it just me or does Jasmine seem……different, somehow."
Sakura: "What do you mean by Different?"
Zander: "She feels like you, Syaoran and that Eli kid, and her brother, but… different."
Syaoran: "You and…?"
Sakura: "Syaoran-kun, come here please."
Syaoran: "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
Sakura: "Is it possible?"
Syaoran: "I haven't felt anything before."
Sakura: "Maybe it's just a feeling, like he said."
Syaoran: "We should talk to Yue-san and sadly Eli."
Sakura: "Good idea."
JD: "This doesn't look too bad Tomoyo-san…"
JDwas wearing an extremely dark burgundy-black tinged suit with a red tie and flower.
JD: "But… red really isn't my color. Do you have you it in black?"
Tomoyo: "U-m-m-m-m... Yeah. Here you go. Try it on in Eli-kun's bed room."
Eli: "Thanks Tomoyo-chan. This looks great!"
Tomoyo: "You sound surprised."
With JD trying on the other suit and Tomoyo hemming Eli's pant legs Tomoyo heard a voice coming from her bathroom. It was Mailyn.
Mailyn: "I don't know Tomoyo-chan."
Tomoyo: "Come out and we'll tell you."
Mailyn walked out of the bathroom wearing an absolutely stunning, red dress. The dress was slender with a slit up to her knees on the left side. The dress was strapless with an almost translucent scarf around her arms. On her feet were dazzling red high heels. Around her neck was a red amber necklace. To finish the ensemble her hair was up in its childhood odango style. Suddenly the door opens and in walks JD.
"Mailyn you look great!" JD said in seemed surprise.
Tomoyo: "He's not kidding! You look absolutely exquisite!"
Yue: "So he claims he can feel something coming from Yukito's sister and that she feels like you and Syaoran but different?"
Sakura: "Yeah."
Syaoran: "… but we can't scence anything. We just have the hunch we talked about earlier."
Yue: "Zander, do you think he has powers?"
"I don't feel anything coming from him. His sister on the other hand……"
Syaoran: "Who's there? Show yourself."
"Getting a little demanding are we Kiddo. Anyway, nice to see you again Yue-sama, Remember me?" Lita-Jade said with a hint of hopefulness in her voice as she walked through the door to the room.
Yue: "?"
S+S: "?"
Lita-Jade: "gloomy I will take that as a NO… to bad. Suddenly serious Anyway, his sister Aronia defiantly has powers, plus I'm sure she knows about them."
Sakura: "Why do you say that?"
Lita-Jade: "I was following a strange aura, when I found the aura it was coming from Aronia. I made sure I was quite, I even used Levitate to make sure. Suddenly her head snapped up and her aura, clearly magical, glowed. The next thing I know I am outside seeing something between Tomoyo-san and Eli-sama I really wish I didn't that I am not going to disuse, shivers run down spine and the aura was gone!"
Syaoran: "Wahoo!"
Sakura: "……"
Lita-Jade: "Oh yeah, I hate to wreck your chain of thought, but, Tomoyo-san wants to see you two in her room."
S+S: "OK!" S+S leave
Lita-Jade: sad "Do you really, not, remember me, Yue-sama?"
Yue: "Your familiar, other then that…… no. Should I?"
Lita-Jade: disappointed "Guess not." leaves room
Yue: changes back into Yukito
Yukito: She really does seem familiar, "Oh well, we should talk to Kero-kun and Eli-sama later."
Chapter12- Christmas Dance Preperation
Sakura: "Where is the dress we just bought?"
Tomoyo: "In the box. You never took it out. Here." passes the box to Sakura.
Sakura: "Thanks Tomoyo-chan goes into the bathroom
Tomoyo: "This is for you Li-kun. You can change Eli-kun's bathroom." hands Syaoran a box
Syaoran: "OK."
As Syaoran leaves the room Lita-Jade walks through doorway with a box in her hand.
Lita-Jade: "Tomoyo-san could you hem a dress for me?"
Tomoyo: "Sure Lita-san, as soon as Sakura-chan comes out if the bathroom you can change OK?
Lita-Jade: "Great!"
Sakura: "This looks great Tomoyo-chan! Thanks!"
Tomoyo: Not as good as you will tomorrow. "Wait a minute…why does everyone sound so surprised the outfits look good?"
While Tomoyo was pondering and Lita-Jade was changing in the bathroom Syaoran came in the room. When he seen Sakura he stopped dead in his tracks and stared.
Sakura was wearing a tight, spagiti-strapped, Cherry-blossom pink dancing dress. (Tomoyo didn't make it so it's not exotic.) Also she wore her star key in a small diamond opening at the top of her chest showing just the star part.
Sakura: "Syaoran-kun, are you OK?"
Syaoran snapped out of his daze and replied "U-m-m-m…yeah. You look great Sakura-chan."
Sakura: blushing "Thanks Syaoran-kun. You look good to."
Tomoyo: pulls out V8 "KAWAII!"
S+S: "Tomoyo please put that away."
Lita-Jade: "I'm done Tomoyo-san."
Tomoyo: "OK… come on out Lita-san."
Lita-Jade walked out of the bathroom wearing a sea green dress. The dress had thick straps for sleeves just below her shoulders, other than a tiara shaped belt with an emerald colored stone in it, it was pretty plain. Her shoes were half up her shin (You could see how high it was because there was a slit up to waste on both sides) and tied with black lace, the heal was 1 ½ inches high. There was no toe in her shoes showing bright green nail polish, she also had a French green sash and gloves in her gloved hand to wear later that night.
Syaoran: "Nice dress Lita-san."
Lita-Jade: "Thanks."
Tomoyo: "Who's your tailor?" grabs pen+ paper.
"Me." Lita-Jade said innocent and blunt.
Tomoyo: "You have to help me with Sakura-chan sometime Lita-san."
Lita-Jade: "Honored…… I think. Anyway you look good as well Syaoran and Sakura-san. Tomoyo-san…"
Tomoyo: "Yes?"
Lita-Jade: "I have the perfect outfit for you. Could you try it on for me?"
Tomoyo: "Sure and you're done."
"Thanks," Lita-Jade said as she hopped off the pedestal. "Wait right here I will be back in a sec." She said as she fled out the door.
Ruby: "…Are you serious?"
Kero: "Isn't he always."
Ruby: "Good point."
Kero: "Glad you like it."
Eli: "You said she sounded disappointed when you didn't remember her?"
Yue: nods head
Spinner: "Why would you remember her?"
Yue: "I don't know."
Eli: "She said something similar to me earlier in the garden."
FLASH BACK BEGINS
Lita-Jade: "Remember me?"
Eli: "Of course I do. I seen you 5 minutes ago plus you're my cousin."
Lita-Jade: "Allow me rephrase that… does Clow Reed remember me?"
Eli: thinks about it and comes to a conclusion "No. Should I? Who are you?"
Lita-Jade runs off replying "Me to know… You too find out. Why don't you try?"
FLASH BACK ENDS
Eli: "Then she sadly mumbled something under her breath that I couldn't make out and ran out of sight.
Kero: "Lets keep one eye on her, Jazmine, one on you (Eli), Sakura-chan and the kid."
Other guardians: "Agreed."
Eli: "I will to." I need to find what on earth is going on here.
Lita-Jade: "Thanks for trying the dress on for me Tomoyo-san. You can look in the mirror now."
"OK" Tomoyo said as she ran across the room to the mirror and looked in. "This looks so good Lita-san! Can I wear it tomorrow at the high school dance?"
Lita-Jade: "Sure, but isn't that only for the students?"
Tomoyo: "Mailyn gave us four extra tickets. Li-kun is taking Sakura-chan… he just doesn't know it yet." giggle
Lita-Jade: "I get it know. You're going to get JD to hit on Sakura-san which will get Xaolan jealous, hints, getting Xaolan to take her to the dance. Whoa that was a mouth full."
Tomoyo: "Do I what to know how you knew that Lita-san?"
Lita-Jade: "I don't think so."
Tomoyo: "I will be back; I need to get something for Sakura-chan's dress.
Lita-Jade: "OK. Can I stay here?"
"Sure," Tomoyo said as she shut the door behind her.
About 2 minutes after Tomoyo left Lita-Jade heard someone knock on the door rather urgently.
Lita-Jade: "Who is it?"
"Jazmine"
Lita-Jade: "Come in Jazzy."
Jazmine enters the room
Jazmine: "Jemarald here almost blew your cover."
Lita-Jade: "OUR cover Jazzy, Jem almost blew OUR cover, not MY cover…is this true Jem-chan?"
Jemarald: "Gomen ne mistress… Hai it is true."
In the hall…… (TOMOYOS POV 3:45)
All I have to do know is put the pink trim on Sakura-chan's dress and the gold trim on Li-kun's……
"You shouldn't do that Jem-chan."
I wonder… who Lita-san is talking to?
"Jazzy! Stop, yelling, before someone hears, or worse, SEES you yelling at a stuffed toy."
"I am not a stuffed toy."
"We know… it's just, in this form you look like one."
"I can live with that."
Quietly I opened the door to find a green, flying stuffed toy, Jazmine and Lita-Jade. Then I heard Lita-san say "Gomen ne Tomoyo-san, Forgetness Snoozeist."
4:00……
How on earth am I going to do this? I love her but… with her baka brother around… he would most likely laps into comma if he found out, although that might actually be a good thing… besides what if she rejects me? If she accepts on the other hand I will be… beyond thrilled. Even her gaki brother couldn't get on my nerves… and that is saying a lot. Syaoran thought as he put away the small box he had in his hand.
"Hi Syaoran-kun." Sakura said as she sat down under the cherry blossom with Syaoran.
Syaoran: "Hi Sakura-chan."
Sakura: "Something wrong?"
Syaoran: "No."
Sakura: "Well, its supper time Syaoran-kun if you're hungry. Your mom said that we don't have to eat because the party is tonight." sits down beside Syaoran
Syaoran: "OK. Are you hungry Sakura-chan?"
Sakura: stomach grumbles"A little. Are you?"
Syaoran sat up rather amused and helped Sakura up. "A little. Come on Sakura-chan; let's go get something small to eat and we'll bring it out here to have a picnic. Sound OK to you?"
Sakura: "Hai."
Lita-Jade: "Are you OK Tomoyo-san?"
Tomoyo: "I think… what happened?"
Lita-Jade: "You fainted at the door; you had me scared there for a minute. I think your working a little hard."
Tomoyo: "Gomen ne Lita-san."
Lita-Jade: "It's alright Tomoyo-san. Are you hungry?"
Tomoyo: "A little."
Lita-Jade: "I could get you something while I am down getting my supper?"
Tomoyo: "Aragoto Lita-san."
Lita-Jade: "You're welcome."
Tomoyo: "Could you do me two favors
Lita-Jade: "Shoot."
Tomoyo: "1) Don't tell Sakura-chan, and 2) help me with the outfits for tomorrow?"
"You bet." Lita-Jade said as she shut the door.
Tomoyo: "I had the strangest dream……"
In the dining hall……
Lita-Jade: "Hi kiddo!"
Syaoran: grumbling "Don't call me that Lita-san."
Sakura: "Lighten up Syaoran-kun."
Lita-Jade: "I am getting something for Tomoyo-san to eat. She's… is working on something… a project, so I thought I would… bring her something to eat."
Sakura: "Promise you won't tell?"
Lita-Jade: "U-m-m-m… yeah." Man, I'm making a lot of promises today
Sakura: "We're going to have a private picnic out-side."
Lita-Jade: "Cool, have fun." she leaves
Syaoran: "Come on, I know a spot mother doesn't even know about."
Sakura: "OK."
Jazmine: "Interesting."
Lita-Jade: "Here Tomoyo-san, Wantons, rice and egg roles for you, and wantons for me."
Tomoyo: "Aragoto Lita-san."
Lita-Jade: "You're welcome. So what'cha want me to do?"
Tomoyo: "Put gold trim on Li-kun's outfit?"
Lita-Jade: "Where's the outfit."
"In the box… here." Tomoyo replied as she sat on the bed reached over and handed Lita-Jade a box with the outfit in it.
Lita-Jade: "Lets get to work."
Meanwhile…
"This is so pretty Syaoran-kun." Sakura said in giggly voice as she danced around in cherry blossoms that were falling from the trees like rain.
Syaoran: smiling She looks even more like an angel here if that's even humanly OR magically possible.
Sakura: "I love it Syaoran-kun, how did you know about it?"
Syaoran: "Father used to bring me here all the time when he wanted to get away from the elders and such. Out of the entire grounds, this was his very favorite spot."
Sakura: "I'm sorry I brang it up."
Syaoran: "It's OK Sakura-chan you didn't know… besides I like talking about him."
Sakura: "What was he like……? I want to know everything."
Syaoran: "Well… his name was Jung Li……"
Lita-Jade: "Where did you get the idea for the outfits?"
Tomoyo: "Do you recall me telling you about the play 6 1/2 years ago?"
Lita-Jade: "Where Sakura-san made the Hope?"
Tomoyo: "Hai. There are the same outfits, only bigger. They're going to finish the play tomorrow."
Lita-Jade: "Can I watch?"
Tomoyo: "You bet, but don't get caught."
Lita-Jade: "Awesome!"
Tomoyo: "Here, have this video camera incase I miss a super KAWAII S+S moment."
"I'm honored Tomoyo-san…" Lita-Jade said wiping a tear from her eye. "I think." She added unsure.
Tomoyo: "Guard it with your life."
Lita-Jade: "I will. Can I call you Tomoyo-chan?"
Tomoyo: "Yeah. Same with you?"
Lita-Jade: "Hai."
Its 8:00 the party was in full swing. People where dancing, eating, talking, and all around having fun.
Sakura: slightly scared "What do you mean…?"
Syaoran: "Your expected to allow me to find a proper word…escort, you around the party? And yes."
Sakura: "Why."
Lita-Jade: "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer too."
Sakura: "O-k-"
Tomoyo: "Don't feel too bad. Eli has to escort me too."
Lita-Jade: "Now that we have that explained, we just have to wait for mother to call us down stairs."
Tomoyo: "I'll be right back I just have to… I forgot something."
What on earth is Tomoyo-chan up too? Sakura thought to herself.
SAKURA'S POV
It was about 5 minutes later when Lady Li called us to come down stairs. Just before we went down I heard Lady Li say something about her special guests and her predecessor. I figured she meant Syaoran. One thing I couldn't figure out though is why she wanted Tomoyo-san, Eli-kun and I to go down stairs like this instead of going around like the others. But I hadn't time to worry about that. Syaoran nudged me on the arm and asked if I was alright, apparently I had spaced out. After I assured Syaoran I was alright his mother just happened to call us down and saved me from explaining to him what was wrong. As I walked down the stairs, Syaoran and I arm in arm, I felt one certain gaze on me. I couldn't see him with my eyes but I could with my mind. I could just see Oni-chan fuming and Yukito trying to calm him down. To myself, I laughed. I didn't even have to see them to know what they were doing. By the time I had snapped out of it for the second time I had already reached the ground level. I looked at Syaoran and again gave him a look that said I was alright, but I don't think he bought it. He didn't bring it up for the rest of the night though.
NORMAL POV
Sakura was standing by the stairs waiting Syaoran come with drinks. She really didn't feel like mingling with the exocentric people Syaoran's mother had inviting. While Syaoran was gone DJ came up to Sakura and leaned on the stairwell.
JD: "You know Sakura…"
Sakura: "Hoe? Oh hello JD, did you want something?"
"Your really pretty Sakura" JD continued as he put his arm around her shoulders. Sakura on the other hand had her eyes bulging from the shear surprise, after she snapped out of it, she nudged JD's arm of her shoulder. Luckily for Sakura, Syaoran was coming, and saw, but to Tomoyo and Lita-Jades surprise, Syaoran looked, glared actually, at them, and just watched.
"So would you like to go to the dance with me tomorrow?" JD said as he, again, put his arm over her shoulder. "No, I am not going unless Syaoran-kun asks me, and even if I was to go with some one else, it wouldn't be you so please go away." She said polite yet stern. JD looked at Tomoyo and Lita-Jade then backed off. After JD backed of Syaoran went over to Sakura and kissed her on her forehead. "I'm proud of you Sakura-chan" Syaoran whispered. Sakura seemed a little upset that Syaoran hadn't come to her rescue but she set her head on Syaorans shoulder and danced.
"So Sakura-chan, will you go to the dance with me?"
"Don't even have to ask Syaoran-kun"
"Check please!" (AN: Took that from What's With Andy and I don't own it.) Eli, Tomoyo, Lita-Jade, and JD said as they all gave one big high-5 in the air.
CHAPTER13 -The Dance!
"You are going to look beyond KAWAII Sakura-chan" Tomoyo said as she went starry eyed. "Tomoyo-san what are up to?" Syaoran said suspiciously as tugged on his sleeve. As planed, Syaoran was in his Prince Charming costume. "Li-kun, you should know better then I do it's a costume party, now, go down stairs and wait for Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said pushing Syaoran out the door
"OK?" Syaoran said as gave up and went down stairs. To his surprise the other two (Eli and Zander) where down stairs waiting. "You too?" Syaoran said, amused.
Eli+ Zander: Joking voice "Oh yeah"
Zander: "She kicked us out to wait for our dates. It sucks."
Syaoran: "How do you think I feel? I own this house next year and she just kicked me… out of my own room!"
Eli: "Did you give it to her yet?"
Syaoran: "Do I look like I gave it to her? … I didn't think so. I'll give it to her at the dance, Is that OK with you?"
Zander: Whispering to Eli "He's moody"
Eli: Nods head in agreement
"Tomoyo, what are you up to? This is the dress I wore at The Play?" (AN: It was known only as The Play because no one liked to remember what they went through with the VOID card) Sakura said as she walked out of the changing room. Just after Sakura came out Mailyn and Aronia did so as well. After Tomoyo got changed the 4 girls went down stairs. After getting stares and kisses from there boyfriends (AN: If they were there) they were off.
AT THE DANCE…
At the dance the song CRY by MANDY MOORE was playing and our group plus JD was dancing and having all around fun. The group was excited because at midnight sharp they were going to announce the king and queen of the dance. It was already 11:00, only one hour till the crowning. (Prepare for song Fic-y)
I will all ways remember,
It was late afternoon,
It lasted forever,
But ended so soon,
Sakura: "I'm glad you asked me to come, I'm having a lot of fun."
You were all by yourself,
Staring up at a dark gray sky,
I was changed.
Syaoran: "Me to Sakura-chan, it's stuffy in here, do you want to… go outside?"
Sakura: "Sure Syaoran-kun." I wonder why he's stuttering like that.
In places no one would find,
All your feelings so deep inside,
Was then that I realized,
That forever was in your eyes,
The moment I saw you cry.
Sakura: "It's pretty out Syaoran-kun."
It was late in December,
And I'd seen you before,
You were always the cold one,
But I was never that sure,
Syaoran: "Sakura-chan… Si… sit down… please?"
Sakura: "OK, but what's wrong Syaoran-kun?"
You were all by yourself,
Staring up at a dark gray sky,
I was changed.
Syaoran: "Sakura-chan…"
Sakura: "Y-e-s?"
Syaoran: "Sakura-chan… will you…"
In places no one would find,
All your feelings so deep inside,
Was then that I realized,
That forever was in your eyes,
The moment I saw you cry.
Sakura: "What's wrong Syaoran-kun?"
Shoran: "Will you… m…"
I wanted to hold you,
I wanted to make your everything,
Alright.
I will all ways remember,
It was late afternoon.
In places no one would find,
All your feelings so deep inside,
Was then that I realized,
That forever was in your eyes,
The moment I saw you cry.
Not to far away, someone was lurking in the bushes. A large cat, and by large cat, I mean panther sized, and two young women, all three with wings.
1st woman: "Come on, He's eighteen years old and he still stutters like Porky Pig for peat's sake."
2nd woman: "Are you sure he's related to you?"
The Panther: "If you were about to do what he was, you'd be stuttering to Miss Potato head."
1st woman: "Would you stop arguing, I'm trying to tape here." Man I wish it was as easy to shut those two up as it was to hide our auras
BACK AT THE BENCH…
Syaoran: "OK, I am going to just come out and say this. Sakura-chan, will you m…"
Just before he finished his sentence Tomoyo and Eli came running in with Tomoyo holding her camera. Syaoran started fuming.
Syaoran: "THAT IS IT, STOP INTERUPTING, Sakura-chan will you marry me?"
Sakura: gasp
Just before Sakura could answer… "Show time!" A lady said as her and the other two figures jumped from the behind the bush.
The first woman opened her eyes to reveal dazzling Jade-emerald eyes. Her hair was up in two ondango's and was also emerald. She had an outfit similar to Mailyn's only lavender purple and lavender green. She also had lavender green tinged versions of Yue's wings.
The second woman had violet eyes and sapphire blue hair. She had an outfit similar to Ruby's, only blue and where Ruby Moon had butterflies, she had dolphins. She also had wings like Yue only sky blue.
Finally, the panther like creature stepped foreword. He was a pale burgundy version of Spinner Sun only with orange dolphins like the second woman. He had different Armour. His had red dolphins on his head plate, chest plate and tail. He also had orange wings just like Kero's.
"Defend your self Sa... Card Mistress." The first woman said as she charged at Sakura.
THE END for now anyway…
