Sub: So…

How was your shopping trip ahem date ahem with Li? I heard he was a real gentleman. You know, you two would look super duper kawaii together, right? Sexy and sweet, the match made from Heaven. Oh, you know what? You should go check out his blog on Magik Net. Eriol bet him if he could do it for a month. It's quite amusing actually. Li Syaoran writing his feelings on the Net for the world to see. He doesn't even know that Eriol told everyone about it. He thinks nobody knows! Oh God, it's like eating a second helping of cake. Ok, it's not like that. It'll belike watching an episode of Buddies. Yep, that's it. Hilarious.

Tomoyo

Oh, and sorry about not taking you on that shopping trip. I sprained my ankle.

Sub: Liar, liar, pants on fire

You told me you had a cold! Not a sprained ankle. Nice try, Tomoyo, but I won't be too mad at you since you were preoccupied with some other things. Magik Net Blog? You're right- Hilarious. I will go look at that. And you do know that he has this totally hot blond girlfriend, right? He's just, I don't know, giving me super friendly conversation? Anyway, it's not like I like him that much. Or at all. I think. He's just my friend. My friend. My friend that's a guy. My guy friend. Got it?

Either way, I won't be able to spend Christmas with you guys. I have to go back to Paris the day after tomorrow. I'm so sorry, but it turns out I was only supposed to stay a day or so. I'll be back for New Year's though! Maybe.

Sub: Hook, Line, and Sinker!

Our Li has taken the bait to Round 189 of Stupid things that Li's willing or tricked to do. He agreed to actually write a blog on the Net. Our Li! The locked up safe! The glued on zipper! The, well, I can't think of anything, but he took it! Now, I bet him to last a month, but for goodness sake, people, this is Li! Well, regardless of my advice, start betting! I will find a prize and post it next m-mail. Until then, good-bye. Unless you see me. Then, hello! Right?

From: Hiragizawa

Sub: S'up?

Ya like me gangsta 'tude? Do ya? Well, that's too bad, because I'm not a gangsta. But I could be. I fooled you guys didn't I, especially this morning?

I was just thinking about a night of poker for just us four sexy guys tonight at my place. What do you say? I want to make it up to you guys for bringing my mom last time.

Hiragizawa

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: H.

From: L.

Sub: Poker

Sounds good to me, but I'm still confused on how you thought you had to bring your mom. You know what? Don't tell me through m-mail. Someone might intercept it, so I'd then be forced to move out of the country because of your high, perverted mind.

L.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hiragizawa here. I probably am busy, or more likely just don't feel like working my muscles to pick up the phone. So leave me a message, and I promise I'll call you back. Eventually. And, yes, I don't know what a heart attack is. I've never had one, so how should I know? BEEP!

Hey, it's Yamasaki. I don't know if you should be trusted with my kid any more than Li should be… Anyway, poker tonight sounds good. I'll bring some food or something. Remember, no moms. And because you're the host, I'll tell you- Don't eat the carrots!

Weren't you thinking of becoming a doctor in high school? I never knew the world was so lucky. I'll be there tonight. And too bad about your gangster thing. We could have been great gangsters. E-dude and J-man. I can see it now.

From: Can I be cupid?

Sub: You are so in…

DENIAL! It's so obvious you have feelings for him, and he probably likes you too! That swanky swank is probably just a little phase he's going thought. Besides, I'm sure you guys will fall in love just like a fairy tale. Especially since you share an office with him, starting tomorrow! And continuing after New Year!

Aw, darn. Paris? Well, we need to talk. No, I'm not breaking up with you. Ha ha. I crack myself up. Ok, you're probably not laughing, Sakura. … Well, I was thinking that tonight, you, Mei, Chi, and Rika come over here to my place, and we can just hang out! You know, just be girls. So can you do it? Everyone else probably can. So you better. Or we'll all be disappointed. I'm puppy-dog pouting now.

To: Ugh!

Your dog face got to me. Count me in.

Sakura

Sorry, Kero, my puppy just splashed his water all over my phone, so I've been trying to fix it all day. Not working.

Li's Blog

Mood: Annoyed

11:00 pm

I feel angry, annoyed, cranky, and sexy. Happy, Hiragizawa?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hiragizawa, where are the cards?

Hold on! I'm looking for them!

How can you invite all of us to a poker night, without cards?

Dude, be happy. At least he didn't invite his mom.

Ha. God, guys, calm down. I have the cards.

And I have the beer!

Hiragizawa, aren't you suppose to be cutting back?

Why would I? I'm not fat. Am I?

Holy crap, Hiragizawa.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh my God! That is so cute, Sakura. Isn't it, Mei!

It is. So, what do you think about Syaoran?

How'd we get from talking about animals to Syaoran?

Chi, baby, we were never talking about animals. Besides, even if we were, he is a sex animal.

Tell me about it.

I know.

No, really tell me about it!

Tomoyo!

Sorry.

Anyway, what'd you think Sakura? Is he your dream guy or what?

I don't think so. And if you guys are trying to set us up, you're not doing a very good job of it, telling me he's a sex animal.

But he's a good sex animal!

Mei, how would you know?

Well…

Eww! You didn't-

Just joking Tomo! Don't worry. The girls at work are always there telling me when I stop by.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No way!

Yamizaki won, again?

I thought you sucked!

Now, now gentlemen, is that a polite way to act at our friendly game of poker?

Sorry.

Yeah, sorry.

…Ow! Fine, sorry.

It's all right. … I win! I win! I win! You lose, you lose. And you lose!

Now, let's see. Since I won, again, you guys have to answer my question.

Hiragizawa, how could you make this into a truth or dare/ poker game? I feel like murdering you for this.

I would be scared if you didn't say that to me on a day to day basis.

Best sex ever.

What?

That's my question. Best sex ever. Who would be or was your best sex ever? Hiragizawa, you first.

Me? Fine.

I wouldn't be surprised if he said his mom.

I know.

I can hear you!

We know.

Oh. Well, for me it wouldn't be my mom, because I would never have sex with her- duh! It would be Taylor Daniels.

A guy?

Who knew he played for the other team?

Well, it was kind of obvious. I mean Glasses are Sexy for his screen name?

A girl, stupid. Taylor is a unisex name. And I don't play sports, remember?

Okay… Tsukishiro, you're up.

Sopra Hinfrey.

Her?

Yeah, her! That babe's got it going on!

What do you want from her?

What's up with the suspicion Li?

Ok, she's as rich as Hell.

Nice.

Li? How bout you?

Which bitch is he going to choose from? He's got over 500…

Very funny, Hiragizawa.

Before, you answer, I say more beer!

You got it, dude.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura! One martini and you're already tipsy!

I tolddd yyyou! Bbbars andd meee nooo mixxxyyy!

Damn! She's got it bad!

Tomoyo, take her home, would you. I still have to drop by Eriol's tonight, and Chi has to pick up Yamizaki.

What are you doing at Eriol's Mei?

Shheee getttinnng some looovvvinggg toooniight. Whooooooo Hoooooooo!

No, I need to pick something up. But I wish!

So do I.

What was that, Tomo?

I said I sure do need to go. For Sakura, of course.

See you, then.

Byyyyyye guuuuyss. I haaadd looottts ooof fuuun! Leeett'sss dddooo theeee tanggooo! Andddd goooo bathheroomm. Causssee I gottaaa gooo reaaaaaaalllllly realllly baddd.

You hear that? She has to go really bad.

Good luck with that Tomo!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You guys are all completely drunk!

And smelly!

Hey Meiling! Hey Chiharu. I love you Chiharu. You smell like alcohol. That's so hot. Make love to me.

Eww, no! Go away. Well actually come here. I need to take you home. And Tsukishiro, too.

I'll take Li home then, Chi.

Wait!

What is it Eriol. You already got these guys drunk.

Aren't you supposed to be cutting back?

But I'm not fat! Or high! And Li never told us his best sex!

Oh yeah!

Who is it?

Isn't it obvious? She's so hot and sexy and wonderful and I want to taste her all over. And let bunnies jump over us while we're doing…it.

What's with the whispering of it?

Don't worry about it Chi. Li gets drunk really fast too. But how much bottles did he drink.

Four. Maybe five?

Ouch. He's going to have a horrible hangover in the morning.

Sakura Kinomoto.

What?

She's the best sex I want to have! I bet her tongue is soft and her boobs are juicy and her lips are cotton candy.

Li!

He admitted it!

I told you he liked her.

Get out!

What? What's wrong Eriol? And I need my package!

Here, Mei, and I'll see you on Saturday for our date right?

Yeah-

Bye! Get out, get out, and get out! Finally!

From: E. Hiragizawa, Li Corp., V.P.

Sub: Important!

Li likes Kinomoto! He wants hot, steamy nights with her, and wants to taste her candied body, apparently. Okay, he said this while he was drunk, but who cares? Out hopes are going up, baby! Oh, speaking of which, I forget to tell you employees this earlier- Regarding Mr. Li, you will have to work harder so we can reach our goal next June or else he will not be happy. He didn't actually say he will not be happy. He said more inappropriate words that I feel that you should not have to listen to.

Hiragizawa

Oh, and Mr. Chow? Who is your fitness trainer? He's done wonders for you! Apparently, I need to lose some weight

Very impressed with the R.O.L.D turnout, by the way. First meeting is December 28th!

Li's Blog

Mood: Not happy

11:00 am.

Wassup lame people who read blogs because they don't have a life. Hiragizawa said my last entry was too simple and that it wasn't amusing at all. What am I supposed to do here, anyway? Talk about feelings? Oh crap. Well, let's make a list of them, shall we?

Annoyed (from hangover).

Annoyed some more. And confused. (from fifty m-mails in computer mailbox saying Woo Hoo! and sexy choice, and stuff like that).

Angry (from hangover and Whitney saying Kinomoto looked bad in skirt. Kinomoto looked good in skirt. Real good)

Amused (Kinomoto slapped Whitney. I pretend not to notice.)

Intrigued (Kinomoto smiled at me?)

Intrigued some more (I smiled back?).

Butterflied (from smile?).

I don't like this blog. It makes me feel weird.

Hmm…

I should have thought of some A words for Intrigued and Butterflied. Then they would all start with A.

I feel drunk.

And happy. Kinomoto beat Whitney in a cat fight. A hot cat fight.

I feel turned on. Very turned on.

Sorry I peed on your back seat yesterday. My bad. Anyway, I'm leaving for Paris at 9:00 tonight. I just wanted to tell you not to come see me, because I hate long good byes, and I'll be back around February next year, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance! I left your presents under your tree, Tomo, and everybody else's. I love you a lot, in the non gayest way.

Sakura

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a/n: SO SO SO sorry for taking so long. whoops. SO to make it up to ya, i'll try to get the next chapter out ASAP. Oh, and sorry if the dialogue is a bit (or a lot) confusing. But it's not too big of a deal cause if i wanted someone to talk and answer specifically i would have put their name in it.
