Take My Breath Away

Chapter Five: Jealousy

Li got off and lied down on his back. I reached towards my nightstand and grabbed the phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Sakura!" I pulled the phone away from my ear a little.

"Hi Tomoyo." I smiled, listening.

"I heard what happened today. Are you feeling better? We keep on having to postpone our job-hunt. Anyway, did you hear about Eriol and me?" Tomoyo burst out with excitement. I laughed.

"Yea I heard. I'm happy for you. So I'm assuming you are on first name basis?" I asked.

"Yes! Thanks to you! I took your advice and it worked! He blushed like crazy and then asked if he could be my date for the amusement park. Oh, that's right, I forgot to tell you. I got tickets for us to go to the amusement park. So can you come? Will you go as Li's date? You owe it to him since he saved your life!" she explained. I blushed and looked over at Li. 'She's right…but I'm too embarrassed to ask.'

"Sure, I'll go. Uhm, I'll have to ask him first though…" I trailed off. Tomoyo laughed.

"You know he'll say yes!" she said.

"Uh…when are we going?" I changed the subject.

"Oh, this weekend. Hopefully you're better then."

"Yea, hopefully. All right, I'll see you at school tomorrow." I hung up after we said our goodbyes. I turned back to Li, sitting on my legs.

"Daidouji, right?" he asked me with a grin.

"Yes. I'm glad for her and Hiiragizawa. Uh…also…" I looked down blushing. He seemed to find this amusing and sat up staring at me.

"Yea…?" he urged me on.

"Since Tomoyo and Hiiragizawa are going to the amusement park together…" I started to explain, "…I was wondering if you'd…" He lifted my chin up.

"Yea?" he asked once more with a small gap between our faces.

"…if you'd…want…to…" his lips lightly brushed against mine.

"To what…?" my eyelids felt heavy and started to droop.

"If you'd…" I couldn't seem to get the words out; he was driving me crazy. I felt him smirk when I stopped talking. I pushed him away with a glare. "You're back to your arrogant self, stupid Li!" I pointed an accusing finger at him. "And I take that kiss I gave you before back!"

"You can't take it back." He laughed.

"Why not?" I pouted.

"What were you going to ask me?" he avoided the question.

"Nothing!" I refused to tell him. I folded my arms.

"Fine. I'm sure it wasn't important anyway." He got off of the bed.

"It wasn't!" I said in defense.

"I can see you're doing well." He patted my head. I swatted his hand away, "All right, I'm going to head out now. I'll check you out in the morning to see if you're well enough to go to school." he looked at his watch, "It's almost five. I'll come over after school tomorrow as well to help you with your math."

"I don't need your help." I said stubbornly.

"Yea," he let out a chuckle, "you do." I glared at him. "I'll see you tomorrow, bye Sakura."

"Kinomoto!" I yelled while throwing a pillow at his retreating figure, but it missed.

"You suck, you know that?" he asked as he smirked.

"Get out!"

MORNING AT SAKURA'S HOUSE

I was checking out my school uniform in the mirror, making sure I looked all right. I tied my hair up in a loose ponytail as I walked out of the bathroom. I went downstairs and put my shoes on. Li said he was going to check on me this morning. He's taking forever. The doorbell rang. Perfect timing. I opened the door.

"About time Li! I thought you'd never get here. I don't need another scene in front of our math class. Do you know how embarrassing that was?" I fumed at him, but it wasn't Li. It was Miki. I stared at him in confusion.

"Sorry, I'm not Li." He replied with a grin. I frowned.

"I can see that. Where is he?" I looked behind him, expecting Li to be there.

"Ah, well," he started, "Megumi got a hold of him a while ago. I thought I would escort you to school in his place."

"But I thought you said that he didn't like her."

"People can change." He shrugged. "Are you ready?"

"Uh yeah, just a sec." I grabbed my backpack and shut my door. "All right, let's go."

"So, what was that embarrassing scene that happened in front of your math class?" he asked as we walked down the street. I was a little out of it; something was stirring inside of me. The thought of Li with Megumi made me upset.

"Oh, yea…I was late and the teacher got onto me. It was on my first day of school." I said distractedly, looking ahead for Li and Megumi.

"They're right there." He said pointing ahead of us. I saw Megumi clinging onto Li's arm and he wasn't doing anything to prevent it. I glared. Well two can play at this game!

"Hey Miki?" I turned my attention to him.

"Yea?"

"My friend got me some tickets to the amusement park this weekend. Would you like to go with me?" I asked with a huge smile on my face, but behind it was something far from a smile. I saw him shift his hands into his pockets as we walked on.

"Sure. When?" he asked casually.

"This weekend! Uh…Friday night." I said, "Should we go as a double date? You know, invite your sister and Li?" I asked him. He laughed.

"Sure." He had a weird smile on his face, but I dismissed it.

SCHOOL TIME

"Sakura! I intended for that ticket to go to Li, not Katayama (Miki and Megumi's last name)." Tomoyo sighed.

"Oh, I know Tomoyo, but Megumi was all over him. I couldn't take it. Once I get jealous, I get competitive, once I get competitive, I lose my mind!" I banged my head against the lockers.

"Oh, so you're jealous of Li and Megumi's relationship?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. I lifted my head and looked at her.

"It's not that I like Li or anything!" I answered quickly, flustered. She laughed.

"Well, let's hope this plan of yours works." Tomoyo said.

"I hope so too—ah! Not that I like Li or anything!"

"I know, I know."

LUNCH TIME

"Are you avoiding Li again?" Tomoyo asked me as we sat down at our usual spot.

"No, not really. He did apologize to me this morning about not showing up. I told him it was fine. And then I told him of my encounter with Miki. You should have seen his face! Priceless!" I grinned.

"Did you tell him about the ticket yet?" she asked me.

"Ah—no. Not yet. When the time is right." I said. Just as I said that, Li and Hiiragizawa came up. Hiiragizawa sat down next to Tomoyo and Li sat down in front of me.

"How's it going Tomoyo?" Hiiragizawa asked as he kissed her cheek. She blushed with a small smile on her face.

"Everything's fine. I was just talking to Sakura about this weekend." She looked at me, trying to bring up the fact that I invited Miki.

"Oh, the amusement park?" he asked. She nodded.

"Yeah, I was just telling her that I invited Miki to go with me." I said looking at my lunch which was completely interesting. I could feel Li's gaze on me. There was no way I could look at him now. But I need to show confidence! That girl was all over him!

"Really?" I could hear Li ask, his gaze still on me. I finally looked up into his eyes and I totally regretted it. The look in his eyes; it wasn't sadness or disappointment, but something else, something like, determination.

"I asked him this morning while we walked to school together." I said.

"Syaoran!" a feminine voice called out behind us. We all looked and saw Megumi coming toward us, while dragging her brother.

"Stop dragging me, I'm not Li." Miki pulled his arm away from her and straightened himself out.

"Oh hush." She spat as she rushed over towards Li. "Oh Syaoran! I didn't know you wanted to take me to the amusement park this weekend! I'm so overjoyed!" she said as she shot me a quick glare. I raised an eyebrow. Miki walked over by me.

"I did?" Li questioned more to himself.

"Yes!"

"Sorry about this. I told her about it and she brought me along to make sure with Li." He said as he kneeled down next to me.

"That's alright." I said smiling at him.

"You know," he said to me in a whisper. I looked at him. "I know you're doing this to get Li jealous."

"What!" I accidentally said too loudly. The gang looked at me weirdly.

"But I'll go along with it because I think you're cute. I also think this'll end out in a very interesting way." He whispered to me again.

"Uh..." I was speechless.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Just remember: I helped you out and when I'm in a tough situation, let's just say I know who to go to for help." He stood back up. "Alright Megumi, let's go."

"'Kay!" she said sweetly and walked away with her brother. 'Those two will be the end of me…I know it…' I sighed. 'And that girl is very by-polar'

"Well it all worked out I guess." Said Tomoyo, "We all have dates." She said with a sigh. I knew what she was thinking: it's going to end out badly.

TOMOYO'S HOUSE

"Wow, Tomoyo! Your house is so huge!" I said as we walked past her gates to get to her mansion.

"I suppose." She laughed. "I didn't mention that my mom owns a toy company, did I?" I shook my head.

"It's so beautiful."

"Thanks."

So basically, Tomoyo and I decided to get ready for the amusement park at her house and to come up with some sort of plan to get back at Li, who I do not like.

Once we got to her room, Tomoyo went straight to her walk-in closet to pick out some clothes for me. I objected, but she overruled.

"Now, you want to look desirable, but not slutty; cute, but not childish." She was talking to herself while looking through her clothes.

"Uh…what am I going to do Tomoyo?" I asked while looking around in Tomoyo's room.

"Hmm…well you could be all over Katayama…" Tomoyo suggested while rapidly going through the clothes.

"I forgot to tell you that Miki already figured out that I'm just trying to get back at Li. He said he doesn't mind." I said, remembering what happened.

"Oh?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yeah…"

"Ah-ha!" Tomoyo said, "Found it!"
