Thank you all!!! And here's chapter 5... for In an Blink of an Eye...

It was bright and early day, here in Hong Kong. People working peacefully and everyone minding their own businesses. People lazily got up and brushed their teeth, and cursed the sun for coming up so soon. There were a few loud honking from cars, and of course, people used profanity at each other when they stopped suddenly at a red light.

But there was one woman who ignored all of this. This woman stayed up the whole night; dead worried about her friend who she cared about so much. She was no other than Sakura. Her best friend had stayed out the whole night and she never came back; she didn't even phone her back. Her friend's name was Tomoyo Daidoji.

Now usually, Sakura was a cheerful, naïve, genki girl, without a care in the world. She was always polite, and wanted to help others. Oh, how a person can change so easily... for example, Sakura Kinomoto. Her usually glistening bright emerald eyes were blood shot red from the lack of sleep and her normally combed auburn hair was a mess. Disaster was going to hit any minute once the doorknob turned and her so call "friend" walked through the door.

Sakura soon heard a few footsteps coming near the door. She quickly got up from the sofa and clenched her fist, about to blow. She heard someone take out their set of keys and placed them into the knob; hearing a click when the key turned. Sakura's eyes turned into slits when the knob turned and slowly the door began to push open and in came in Tomoyo Daidoji; as happy as ever.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT, TOMOYO!??? I WAS UP ALL NIGHT WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK. CAN'T YOU AT LEAST CALL ME AND TELL ME YOU'RE GOING TO BE OUT THE WHOLE DAMN NIGHT??? I THOUGHT SOMETHING BAD HAD HAPPENED TO YOU!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TURN ON YOUR CELL PHONE??? ISN'T THAT THE POINT OF HAVING A CELL PHONE???"

That was heard from miles away, imagine how loud it must have been to poor Tomoyo. This fact was proven as Tomoyo covered her poor ears before she died at a very young age of the stupidest thing in the world to die of, the wrath of a worried best friend. Hell hath no mercy, yup that's exactly what popped up into her mind as she watched Sakura's mouth move, but with no sound coming out seeing how Tomoyo did the smart thing of covering her ears.

At the time, she didn't know what had hit her, but she did know someone was awfully mad... no cut that out, someone was furious with her. When the rumble of the room finally calmed down, Tomoyo slowly uncovered her ears and looked in front of her only to see a raging Sakura; letting out all her steam.

"Hey Sakura..." Tomoyo said sheepishly, trying to calm down her once cheerful friend.

"Don't you "hey Sakura" to me Tomoyo! Where the hell were you yesterday?! I couldn't call you anywhere! Your fucking cell phone was off and I had no idea where you were! Don't you ever do that again to me! Do you understand?!" Sakura yelled with all her might, before she collapsed on the sofa, exhausted from the emotions she flew through in the pass few minutes.

"I'm sorry Sakura! I know it's my fault for not calling you! My cell phone ran out of batteries and Eriol and I had so much fun and I kind of forgot to call you. I really didn't mean to make you so scared, but I'm right here and healthy too!! There's nothing wrong with me! I'm perfectly fine. I spent the night at Eriol's, and we had a great time together. You don't have to worry that much Sakura, I'm a big girl now, and Eriol was with me the whole time. He didn't do anything to offend me." Tomoyo said, kneeling in front of Sakura; grasping Sakura's hands in her own.

"Oh alright... so what did you two do last night?" Sakura asked, sitting in an Indian style, waiting for Tomoyo to tell her what happened on her date, suddenly very interested in the details which of course she would tease Tomoyo in a few days with.

"It was so magical..." Tomoyo said, dropping to the floor, sighing dreamily; remembering the magical evening she had with Eriol yesterday night.

"Oh... Tomoyo you are in trouble!!! I want to hear everything! And don't leave any information out. I'll smack you!" Sakura said, dropping to the floor, next to Tomoyo.

"Well it started when he came right on time at 8 o' clock sharp. I still wasn't ready and I invited him to sit for a few minutes. When I came out, he was stunned by the dress you gave me and he said I looked beautiful. Thank you Sakura." Tomoyo said smiling warmly.

"No problem, now go on." Sakura urged, making Tomoyo nod, laughing.

"Right, so we then went to the most expensive restaurant in Hong Kong and he was the most perfect gentlemen. We talked about all the years we were apart from each other, what we did, what we hated, everything. He made me laugh so easily, and we could have talked about anything. He ordered the finest wine, and at first I refused to drink it, but Eriol convinced me, and I guess I probably had a little too much." Tomoyo explained, as Sakura sat there like a little child hearing a ghost story.

"After dinner, Eriol and I both agreed it wasn't time to take me back home yet, so he decided to take me sightseeing all over Hong Kong. We went to a bunch of different malls and he even got me this bracelet. Isn't it just beautiful?" Tomoyo asked, as she showed Sakura the bracelet Eriol got her. Sakura indeed agreed with Tomoyo that it was very beautiful.

The bracelet was actually only one, but it had three different chains connected to it by a platinum clasp; they were all of different lengths. There was a little charm on each chain and they were all centered in the middle. The first one was diamond carved into a shape of a star, the next charm was an amethyst gem carved into the shape of a moon, and the last charm was amber carved into the sun.

"But he wouldn't give it to me just yet. At first, I felt really sad; thinking he was probably going to give it to someone else like his girlfriend or something, but I brushed all those feelings away when he continued to take me sightseeing. Our next stop on our date was the park. It was getting pretty late and it was cold, and being the gentleman Eriol is; he draped his jacket over me. He led me over to the swings as I sat on it and he pushed me gently. I kept on looking up at the moon; asking the gods to show me a sign how Eriol felt about me." Tomoyo said, looking at Sakura who had big emerald eyes popping out.

"And what happened? Go on!! Come on the good part is coming right?" Sakura asked with childish glee, making Tomoyo giggle lightly.

"Then suddenly I felt Eriol stop pushing me, as I turned my head and saw him looking down at me with those burning sapphire eyes, that burnt me right to the core with the passion they held in them. Add to that, his eyes also held wisdom and love, but I didn't know whom the love he had in his eyes was for. After for a few seconds of looking at each other, Eriol sat next to me on the swings and we had a few silent moments. There wasn't any tension, just peaceful silence; no one tried to make a conversation." Tomoyo explained, closing her eyes to remember those beautiful sapphire eyes she had grew to adore and love since a child.

"Didn't it feel all awkward?" Sakura asked, making Tomoyo shake her head. "Oh... go on then."

"Next thing I knew, Eriol just handed me a box and told me to open it. I knew what it was; it was the bracelet he had brought earlier. I looked at him and saw that genuine smile on his lips. I couldn't help it but to reach over and give him a gentle hug. I could feel him caress my back and kiss my hair. It felt so right to be in his arms. Slowly, we began to pull away from each other as he took the bracelet out and put it on for me. The bracelet shown so brightly in the glistening moon." Tomoyo said, fingering her bracelet.

"And, that's all he did?" Sakura asked, at the edge of her seat.

"No... I don't know who made the move first, but next thing I know, we both start coming closer to each other until our lips met. It was so magical. No one kisses like him. It was just... wow. Then it got more passionate and I could feel him run his fingers through my hair. I felt so safe. So safe in his embrace. I loved that feeling and I didn't want the evening to end. That was for sure..."

"After that I took her back here." Eriol said later on in the day, sitting on the cough, across from Syaoran and Jamie who were listening about Eriol's date with Tomoyo. They had already come back from work, and was just sitting around for the time to past by when they would have to go out again and go to Tomoyo's fashion model show later.

"And? Did you fuck her?" Jamie asked, leaning closer making Eriol shake his head disapprovingly. "I rather say making love... fucked her... that seem just wrong. I'm starting to think differently about girls now. I want to make this work with Tomoyo and me. I want to respect her." Eriol said, making the jaws of Syaoran Li and Jamie Lee drop down to the floor.

"Whoa... wait a minute... you actually mean you're going to give up all women just because of one girl? Are you crazy? You know all women are the same; once they find someone better they'll go for the next best thing." Jamie said, making Eriol get mad a little, but quickly calmed down.

"Bite that tongue of yours Lee! Not all women are like that! At least, Tomoyo is not like that! And you shouldn't be talking; you're always doing that to all the females... dumping them for the next best thing. And I think you're changing too; I've haven't heard any girls bitch about you since you started dating Mei Lin." Eriol exclaimed glaring at Jamie. This made Jamie shut up quickly and sit back in his seat, thinking about what Eriol just said about him and Mei Lin.

Syaoran stayed quiet this whole time; looking at Eriol like he's totally lost it, or if he was telling the truth. Was what Eriol saying true; are women not all the same? Looks like Jamie was starting to have doubts about this too now. An image of Sakura quickly flashed through his mind as he saw her emerald eyes shinning, her hair bouncing as she laughed. He quickly shook that idea out of his mind, as he looked away and wondered why the hell he would think of her all of a sudden.

"Hey... isn't that fashion thing soon? Don't we have to get going?" Syaoran asked out of the blue. Once again, he questioned himself, why he would want to go to that fashion show to see Sakura? What was wrong with him? He haven't stopped thinking about her since she fell on him twice. He never thought about a girl this much, so why should he start now? This girl was beginning to haunt him.

"Yea you're right... the show starts in an hour. We better get going." Jamie said eagerly, running up the stairs to get changed.

"Since when did you want to go to this model show, Syaoran? I thought you said you didn't want to go." Eriol said suspiciously. Since when did Syaoran Li want to go to a place like this? 'Was it because of Sakura and he wants to see her again? Is it because he likes her?'

"Since I found out Jamie's girlfriend was there and I don't want to see him bitch about us being late." Came Syaoran's lame excuse, but Eriol saw right through it.

"Or is it because you just wanted to see Sakura again?" Eriol asked smugly. Seeing the flash of surprise in Syaoran's eyes, he knew he hit a weak spot. "What the fuck are you talking about, Hiiragizawa?" Syaoran spat out. 'How the hell did Hiiragizawa come up with that idea when I only asked when we were going to the fashion show?!'

"Don't look so shocked Syaoran. I wouldn't be surprised at all when Sakura takes full control of you. Why not try to be in a commitment this one time and stop playing girls? You never know... you might actually find true happiness." The words ran through Syaoran's mind over and over again when Eriol went upstairs to change.

'Ha... find true happiness... that's a bunch of bull shit. No one can control me... I make my own decisions. There's so such thing as true happiness. I found that out when the one person I actually cared and loved for left me for some jackass. Back then... I thought I knew what true happiness was. I used to cherish those days. Now, there is so such thing. All women are the same; they only care about wealth and fame and nothing else. They only have one purpose and that's to keep my entertained in bed. They don't care if they break your heart or anything... that's why I am who I am today. It's all her fault...' With that last thought, Syaoran angrily walked out of the mansion and into the car, waiting for the other two to come out.

Hundreds of people quietly chatted with each other as they waited for the famous fashion model show to begin. Everyone has heard that Tomoyo was a great designer and she was going to prove that statement to everyone in a few minutes. Camera takers were all around the runway, getting ready to take pictures of the latest fashion and getting a glimpse of future designs. Up front, were three guys everyone would know would be there... they were Eriol Hiiragizawa, Jamie Lee, and Syaoran Li.

Eriol and Jamie talked to each other silently, while Syaoran stayed quiet. A lot of things were going through his mind and he ignored all the flirtatious looks he was getting from all the females that surrounded him. Everything seem to be foggy around him, but he didn't mind that... he was trying to clear all the things that Eriol had said to him earlier. 'You never know... you might actually find true happiness.'

Syaoran clenched his hands tightly until his fists started to turn white. 'Why is that keep on taunting me? Why do I care so much? Why can't someone just tell me why I keep thinking about her?' He never got a reply; instead, the lights dimmed out and all of a sudden, everyone turned quite. The fashion model show was about to begin. Everyone fixed themselves up and waited for the show to begin.

Fashion Show............... SRY!!! we really didnt want to write the fashion it. it just got really annoying and we got sick of it. just picture it if you want. think sakuraz wearing a nice dress and syaroan is enjoyin the view just like how jamie is with mei lin. syaoran will start thinkin dirty things and thatz practically all that will happen? ightz? on with the story!!!

"Here's to Tomoyo for her spectacular model show. You're going to have a wonderful future Tomoyo." Eriol announced; lifting his campaign glass with everyone else and clang their glasses together lightly. Everyone drank the content down, as Jamie refilled everyone's glasses again.

Tomoyo's fashion model show was a success and for sure, she was going to be a famous designer in the future. Eriol had invited everyone back to his mansion for an after party. Everyone was still dressed in their formal clothing. Everyone was now getting to know each other more and more. There was only one person who didn't want to act close, and that one person was Li Syaoran.

"I'm glad it was a success and no one messed up." Tomoyo said, making everyone smile.

"You know the only one who would mess up would be Sakura. But luckily, she was the best one there tonight." Mei Lin said, making Sakura blush prettily. Syaoran looked down at Sakura who was standing right next to him and noticed how beautiful she was when she was blushing. She was still wearing the dress from the show and it outlined her body perfectly.

"Hey, I didn't mean to fall yesterday. I just tripped." Sakura said, trying to defend herself, making everyone laugh.

"So Tomoyo, now that you're done... are you going to stay in Hong Kong or are you going back to Tokyo?" Jamie asked, making Tomoyo think about it.

"I guess I'm going back to Tomeada. That's my home no matter how much I love it here in Hong Kong. I still got my business down there and I can't just leave it. They need me down there no matter how much I try to deny it." Tomoyo said solemnly; knowing it was hurting Eriol.

"But you'll come and visit again, right?" Eriol asked, making Tomoyo look at him right in the eye, feeling shameful for causing the pain in them. "You bet I will." Tomoyo said truthfully, making Eriol smile a little.

"And you Mei Lin dear?" Jamie asked, wrapping his free arm around Mei Lin's waist, making her rest her head on his broad shoulder.

"I'm staying here with you of course. I don't want you to cause trouble in the female population." Was Mei Lin's reply.

"Hey you know I'll behave as long as I have you with me." Jamie responded making Mei Lin wink at him. Jamie couldn't help but to kiss her on the lips fully and hungrily.

Eriol, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Sakura all cat called and whistled seeing the little show that Jamie and Mei Lin were giving them. After a few seconds, they both broke apart, as Mei Lin wrapped her arms around Jamie's neck and hugged him tightly.

"So Tomoyo's leaving, and Mei Lin's staying. And what about you Sakura? Are you going to stay or are you going back with Tomoyo?" Eriol asked, making Sakura smile. "I'm going back with Tomoyo." Was Sakura's simple reply. When Syaoran heard that, he felt a pang of hurt in his heart, and looked away.

"Excuse me... I need to use the restroom." Syaoran lied lamely, as he put down his Champaign glass and walked away from the group.

Syaoran opened the balcony doors, as he went outside and placed his hands on the rail. He closed his eyes; his bangs covering his amber eyes, and felt the cool air engulf him completely. He breathed in the fresh air and let out a tired yet angry groan out. He looked up at the sky; the moon shinning brightly above him and the little stars watching over the whole world. The crisp air blew gently, blowing on his chestnut bangs that covered his amber eyes a little. Why was he so mad? So Sakura was leaving... it didn't mean anything. They were barely even friends... they didn't know anything about each other. So why did his heart hurt when Sakura said she was leaving? When she said that she was leaving him...

"You've been up here for so long I thought something happened to you." A gentle, angelic voice said from behind him, making him quickly turn around and sees the one and only Sakura standing near the door.

"What are you doing here, Kinomoto?" Syaoran asked, mustering up the cold voice he used to everyone. He turned around so he wouldn't get trapped inside her emerald eyes.

"Nothing, I was just checking on you. Mind if I join you?" Sakura asked, trying her best to control the blush that was forming on her cheeks. He looked so handsome and hot. Sakura's eyes traveled up and down at Syaoran; finally seeing a clear view of Syaoran Li up close and personal.

Syaoran was wearing black pants and black boots. His black turtleneck outlined his toned body perfectly and he had a body of a god. Syaoran also had on a black suit jacket. It blew in time with the wind, letting the black turtleneck show from underneath it.

The moonlight showed Sakura what she never saw before, the beautiful side of Syaoran Li, the future leader of the Li Clan. His chestnut locks were messy, but that was his trademark; it made him look dangerous and sexy. Even though his back was turned to her, Sakura could picture his burning golden eyes piercing the sky just by looking at it.

Taking the silence as a 'yes' Sakura stepped out in the balcony and walked right next to Syaoran. She placed her soft delicate hands on the rail and closed her eyes, breathing in the fresh, crisp air. Without Sakura noticing, Syaoran looked down and watched her breathe in the air, her body raising when she inhaled and returning back when she exhaled.

He looked down a little further and saw a beautiful bracelet on her wrist. It was a sliver bracelet that looked like vines with cherry blossoms carved from little diamonds and pink diamonds. On the middle, some words were inscribed on it; it probably said Sakura. He took his eyes away from her as he continued to look up into the stars; Sakura doing the same thing.

"It's beautiful tonight right?" Sakura asked, trying to make a conversation, but Syaoran never answered her. "Why don't you talk?" Sakura asked, turning to Syaoran, making Syaoran glance at her quickly, before turning his body completely so he was looking at Sakura, and Sakura only.

It shocked her when he stood up straight and looked at her. He was so much taller than her... she barely reached his shoulders. He was at least 2 heads taller than her. His amber eyes looked down at her, studying her body intensely, making it seem as if he was reading her like a open book.

She felt so nervous when his eyes scanned her body, and the cool breeze wasn't helping her either, it blew her dress flat against her body, making it outline her curves. This made Syaoran stare intensify even more, making Sakura blush and shiver.

Sakura then noticed how perfect Syaoran's lips were, she wondered how it would have been like to kiss him, was it soft or rough? But then she noticed that he never smiled in front of her before. She never even seen him laugh or give out a chuckle. It was so weird... he would look mighty fine if he did.

"You ask a lot of questions Kinomoto, why?" Syaoran asked.

"Because I want us to be friends. I want to know more about you Syaoran. I bet me and you can be good friends, if only you can open up and talk to people. I barely ever heard your voice." Sakura said, making Syaoran glare at her, but it didn't affect her at all. "And might I suggest you stop glaring at me. It might affect other people, but it doesn't for me." Sakura added smartly, making Syaoran glare at her even more.

"Why do you want us to be friends, Kinomoto. You don't even know me, why do you want to be friends with me? I could hurt you so much. You know damn well I'm Hong Kong's number 1 bachelor. Aren't you afraid that I'm going to seduce and get you to bed?" Syaoran's husky voice asked, as he lowered his head towards her, his hot breath tickling her cheek and neck, as Sakura trembled. Was it getting hot around here, or was it just her?

"I... umm..." Sakura shuttered. Great, she had no idea how she was going to reply back to Syaoran. Here he was using his playboy style on her and it was working. In a few seconds, he would have her completely.

"I know you want me Sakura... just say it..." Syaoran spoke his hit breath lingering her neck, making Sakura fall under his spell. He won, he knew it, and she knew it. She was about to give in and close her eyes, when all of a sudden, the doors inside opened and in popped Eriol, Tomoyo, Jamie, and Mei Lin. Syaoran quickly got back up and acted like nothing had happened while Sakura was just burning red. What was wrong with her? She was about to give in to him just like that! How could she fall for it? Did her body want him that much?

"Hey there you two are. Sakura it's getting late. I'm driving you all back to the penthouse." Eriol said, making Sakura turn to them and nod, emotionlessly. She had no idea what was going to happen now. "And after that, Eriol and I are going to get something to drink, you're coming with us Syaoran." Jamie said, making Syaoran shrug. He acted like nothing had happened.

"Come on Sakura, we can come back tomorrow. It's getting really late. You need you sleep. I know you're tired and Mei Lin's coming with us." Tomoyo said, seeing something different about Sakura. What was wrong with her? Why did she take so long to come back down and why was she with Syaoran all alone.

"Yea, alright... let's go." Sakura said, stepping inside the room.

"I'll be down in a few..." Syaoran said, turning his back towards everyone again looking up at the stars. He head an "okay" from everyone, but ignored it, when he thought about what just happened with him and Sakura.

Syaoran stayed outside a little while longer, and finally decided to come back inside. He shoved his hands inside his pants pocket and looked down at the ground. Then suddenly, something sparkling caught his eyes; it was a bracelet. He bend down and picked it up, looking at it closely. He was right... it did have Sakura's name engraved on the bracelet.

'She probably dropped it when she was walking back inside. Looks like I have to give it back to her tomorrow. It looked so expensive, wonder who gave it to her.' A little anger formed inside of Syaoran when a thought of one of Sakura's boyfriend giving it to her, but he brushed that feeling off quickly. He gently placed the bracelet inside his shirt pocket and walked back inside; the warmth consuming his body.

He closed the door and went downstairs where everyone was waiting for him. He looked at Sakura, as she turned away and a flaming red blush appeared on her face, making Syaoran smirk devilishly in his mind. This was going to be interesting. He knew he had won if they didn't get interrupted, and who knows what they would be doing now if no one had stopped them.
