Doesn't really matter - Chapter 5
"Syaoran! Please!"
"No."
"Just think about it!"
"No."
It was the day after Meilin and Tomoyo had talked to Sakura, heard her story, and unknown to them, so had Syaoran. Meilin was in the living room with the rest of her friends trying to convince Syaoran to let Sakura come to the club with them tonight. So far however, she was not having much luck, and Syaoran was no where near letting Sakura go as he was an hour ago.
"Why are you so against it? We can disguise her! It'll be fine!"
He just looked at her, and explained in his most calm, patient voice, "Meilin, it will not be okay. She is being held captive by us! It would be a perfect oppretunity to escape, and we will lose our only chance of getting Touya. There will be no more discussion. Beside, Eriol, Adam and I will be going out, will won't be able to take you."
Meilin sat there pouting, with an almost defeated look on her face, but Tomoyo could tell that she was not done.
"Well, can't Tomoyo and I go alone?"
Syaoran looked like he didn't think much of the idea, but nodded anyway. He stood up, walked out the door, and Eriol and Adam followed suit after giving their respective girlfriends a kiss. Tomoyo and Meilin stayed sitting on the living room, with Tomoyo looking at Meilin who had a smirk on her face.
"What are you so happy about? Sakura can't go with us."
Meilin simply looked at her and smiled knowingly. "Just becuase Syaoran said Sakura can't go, that doesn't mean that we can't take her. But anywho, 'Sakura' isn't going to be going to the club with us, 'Ying Fa' will."
Tomoyo didn't look like she wanted to go against Syaoran's word, but she knew that there wasn't going to be any way of discouraging Meilin, so she smiled.
"This means that we have some preperation to do, doesn't it?" Meilin nodded and they walked up to Sakura's room, making a detour in the kitchen to get some food for her.
They knocked quietly, but Sakura flung open the door almost instantly. She stood there smiling, looking much happier than they had seen her.
"Hey." she greeted.
"Hi!" they chorused. Tomoyo handed her a chicken wrap, which she ate while Meilin explained their plan.
"Okay, I was thinking it was time to get some excitement in here. Anyhow, we are disguising you with a wig, contacts, and with my make up abilities, your own mother wouldn't recognise you. And for all that effort, we are going clubbing."
Sakura looked slightly unimpressed. Meilin saw her face and laughed.
"Oh don't worry, this is beyond any club you have ever been to. Believe me, you have not gone clubbing until have gone to 'the zone'. It makes any other club seem like a school dance."
Sakura nodded. She had heard about 'the zone'. It was one of the hottest spots in Tokyo, but she had never been there. Obviously, Meilin and Tomoyo would be eager to take her, it was notorious for being a spot where Wolves interacted.
She was done her wrap, so she turned to the other girls. "What now?" she asked.
They looked at her with a twinkle in their eyes. Suddenly she knew that she was going to be going through a long and painful process, and she didn't seem as willing as she was minutes ago. The girls sensing her reluctance, pounced, pinning her against her bed.
Downstairs a dull thump could be heard. The guys had just stepped back inside, as they had forgotten some 'tools', when they heard it. They looked at each other in confusion.
"What on earth could they be doing?", Adam asked the others.
Eriol and Syoaran shrugged. "Who knows."
Adam looked at the ceiling and shook his head. "It sounds like tackle- football. Rugby maybe."
Eriol smiled and Syaoran answered in a dull voice. "Tomoyo and Meilin are getting ready to go to 'the zone'. You know how they are. Knowing them, whatever they're doing is probably more painfull than any contact sport." The guys laughed as they walked out the door again.
Upstairs the long process had begun. Sakura had put bright, blue contact lenses into her eyes, and the difference was huge. Tomoyo was working on a blond wig on her head, and Meilin had started the make-up. She closed her eyes and decided a nap was in order. This could take a while.
Five hours later, they were finished. All the girls looked absolutely stunning. Tomoyo had her hair down and was wearing tight leather pants, and a purple halter top. Meilin had her hair in double french braids and red strapless dress. However, nobody looked more stunning than Sakura, or rather 'Ying Fa'. She was wearing a very short black jean skirt, and pink halter top. Her blonde hair had been made into two messy, mini buns, and her blue eyes sparkled, expertly brought out by Meilin.
"Alright, ready to go?" They girls nodded, and they headed quietly out to the garage. for Sakura, it was her first glimse of the house that she had been in for the past week. It was very large, there were many rooms, she walked through the house, looking around in awe. It was very empty though, for such a big house. She knew that more people had to be living here. Tomoyo saw her looking around and laughed.
"What are you looking at?"
"Where is everybody?"
"Oh, they're probably out. We don't really have anybody to cook in this house, so people usually go out to eat, and then they usually roam the city. They don't come back until it's light, and then a lot of them sleep the entire day."
"Oh."
"Yeah, whatever, we had best get going, we don't want to get stuck in traffic."
They walked into the garage, and with everyithng that Sakuira had seen so far, the garage was by far the most impressive. There were rows and rows of shiny, sleek new cars, motorcycle upon motoecycle leaning against each other. Sakura's mouth fell open as she took in her surrondings. Meilin laughed.
"Take you pick." Sakura looked at her.
"Tomoyo will be riding with you, just to make sure, but I'm going alone. Let's see how good your driving skills are."
Sakura nodded and walked towards the cars, walking up and down the rows until she stopped beside a candy pink Nissan Skyline. Meilin nodded and got into her car. It was tricky getting the cars out of the garage because of the close proxcimity of the cars, but Sakura managed the job easliy. When they were on the road however, it was when the real fun began. Meilin didn't knw how good Sakura was, but she knew that the model would give her a good race. She stepped on the gas pedal, and was speeding along, far ahead of Sakura. She sighed. Maybe she wasn't that good after all, she started to think, but then Sakura accelerated, and was soon neck to neck with Meilin.
They raced through the crowded streets, weaving in and out of traffic. For both girls, it was a pure adrenaline rush, just a little fun. Tomoyo on the other hand didn't seem too amused. Though she didn't seem sick, she didn't particulary enjoy the racing. She had to keep her eyes on the road however, becuase she was giving Sakura directions. Sakura was having the time of her life. Meilin had gotten a little lead, so she closed the gap, cutting a slow Mini off. n the rear-view mirror, she could she the driver giving her the finger. She smiled and blew him a kiss before stepping on the gas once again.
They were getting nearer to the club, and turned onto a narrow, one way, one lane road, and as Meilin was slightly ahead, she was leading. Meilin smiled to herself, it was a good race, but she was going to win. Sakura hit her steering wheel, she wasn't done yet. There was a speed bump coming up, just to make sure that drivers weren't speeding on it. Sakura laughed at the irony. She pressed the two little buttons on the steering wheel labeled 'N20'
The car raced ahead, and when it hit the speed bump, it had enough of a ramp, and Sakura had enough speed to lift the car up. Tomoyo screamed and covered her head. Sakura hoped that there was enough lift, and braced herself for the landing. Meilin looked in her mirror and frowned, but a split second later, a pink blur flew over head, and landed shakily on the ground. She shook her head, smiling. She parked her car, and walked over to the other car. Tomoyo got out of it shakily, leaning on the car for support. Sakura however came out smiling. Meilin laughed.
"I see you found the nitrous."
Sakura luaghed. "Yes, it was just the boost I needed, don't you think?" They both smiled at Tomoyo who looked less than amused.
"Okay, that's it, I'm driving home."
"Alright.", Sakura said laughing. She turned to the club which seemed to literally shaking.
"Let's go."
They entered the club. Even though it was quite 'chic' it was really nothing that Sakura had never been too before. Meilin and Tomoyo immediately headed to the dance floor, and Sakura followed suite. It was very crowded, and she had to try her hardest not to bump into the gyrating couples. After the song was over, she and Tomoyo walked over to a booth and sat down, but Meilin stayed. The girls motioned towards the bar, Tomoyo requesting a peach cooler, and Sakura a rum and coke. When the drinks arrived, the the girls sipped on their drinks for a few minutes.
"So Sakura, what do you think of 'the zone'?"
Sakura nodded. "It's pretty nice."
Tomoyo raised an eyebrow. "Pretty nice?"
Sakura laughed. "Alright, it is the best club I've ever been to."
It was Tomoyo's turn to laugh. "Well, I don't know about that, but I love it. The actual building means nothing, but it has a certain significance."
"Really." Sakura didn't pose a question, she merely stated it, but Tomoyo misunderstood.
"Yeah, I met Eriol here." she had a dreamy, faraway look on her face.
"Who?"
"Oh! I keep forgetting you don't know who the guys are. Except Syaoran of course, but Eriol has these beautiful eyes, and this great body, and the mos handsome face you've ever seen, and - "
Sakura could have let Tomoyo go on forever, but something jostled in her memory.
"Does he have navy hair?"
Tomoyo looked at her in surprise. "Yes.." she answer slowly.
Sakura shrugged. "Yeah, I met him, briefly. It was a short encounter, I was knocked out shortly after." she said nonchalantly.
Tomoyo blushed. "Sorry about that, but it was, um, neccesary."
Sakura rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything. Right then, a good looking, brown haired guy came up to their booth. He smiled at the girls.
"Hey, Brian." Tomoyo acknowledged, but Sakura was intently staring at her drink.
"Hi Tomoyo, so who's this gorgeous new lady. A new Wolf, perhaps?"
Tomoyo laughed. "This is Ying Fa, a school friend of Meilin from Hong Kong."
Sakura noticed that she didn't say whether or not she was a Wolf. It was probably safer that way, but Brian didn't notice.
"Hi Ying Fa, would you like to dance?"
Sakura smiled, but shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I don't think my boyfriend would appreciate that."
Brian's face fell, and Tomoyo looked at her sharply, but Sakura continued to smile.
"Oh? Where is he?" Brian questioned.
"He's on a bussiness trip, so I decided to come and visit Meilin."
"Oh." he cocked his head to the side and studied her intently.
"You know, you look very familiar. I'm sure I've seen you before. Are you a model perhaps?"
Tomoyo was looking a little bit stressed, but Sakura laughed.
"Oh, I'm sure you say that to every girl you meet.", she answer with ease.
Right then, Meilin came to their booth, smiling, but looking slightly flustered.
"Oh, my shoes hurt, I shouldn't have worn these. Hi Brian."
"Meilin, how are you?"
"I'm doing well, you?"
"Well, I was having a bad day, but then I came here, and I saw the angelic face of your schoolmate, and I just had to come over and say hello."
Meilin looked around in confusion. "Schoolmate? Where?"
Tomoyo kicked her under the table. Sakura laughed again.
"Oh, Meilin, I think there's a reason that you almost failed grade ten history."
Meilin blushed, but sat down. As there was nothing more for him to do, Brian left them, saying that if any of them needed a partner, he would be happy to oblige. Once he was gone Meilin turned on Tomoyo.
"Why did you kick me?! My feet are already killing me!"
"Well, thanks to you, we almost blew Sakura's cover, and it was you idea to bring her in the first place."
"Well excuse me!"
Sakura looked at them bickering and shook her head. But then a shot was fired, and it drove all thoughts from her head, silencing Tomoyo and Meilin. She looked towards the dance floor. There were about a dozen guys dressed in black, holding a gun at the people who were now motionless. Sakura froze, the guys looked very familiar.
A/N Don't you just love me? lol, it's must be a record how fast I typed this chapter. Please review! Also, if you have any suggestions, please email me them, thank you!
