Company Trip – Part 1
"Good afternoon all," greeted Yanagi as Sakura, Syaoran, and Kaoru entered the room.
"Take a seat, I have important news to tell all of you," he continued.
"Yes, sir," Sakura and Syaoran replied together. They looked at each other and blushed while Kaoru watched them jealously.
"Sakura, Syaoran, I would like you to go to a conference in America. The conference will take about a week. Is that okay?" Yanagi asked.
"Of course it's okay!! I mean… Of course, it's fine…" Syaoran answered.
Sakura just nodded as she was distracted by Kaoru, who was emitting smoke and sending 'HE'S MINE' signals to Sakura.
'Finally… Some time alone with Sakura! No Kaoru!! Arigatou kami-sama!!!' Syaoran thought happily…
'Kaoru's scary…' thought Sakura whom Kaoru was still mad at.
'Don't be so happy… This isn't over…' Kaoru thought, fuming…
"Okay, if it's cleared, then you may…" Yanagi continued but was cut off when Kaoru coughed loudly.
She then bent down to whisper something to Yanagi. Yanagi then muttered a small 'Oh'.
"I almost forgot the most important thing. Kaoru will be going along with both of you. I hope you don't mind, she just couldn't bear to be apart from Syaoran," Yanagi said proudly and laughing heartily.
"Of course, otousama…," Kaoru said smiling smugly at Sakura.
"Hai… No problem…," Sakura replied.
'I knew it… This was too good to be true…" Sakura thought disappointedly.
"Wakarimasu, otousama…" Syaoran replied, his smile faltering.
"Kuso ona!! KAMISAMA HIDOI!!" Syaoran thought angrily.
"Okay, NOW you may go," Yanagi said suddenly interrupting Sakura and Syaoran's thoughts.
"Are you coming? Or are you just going to stand there?" Kaoru asked Syaoran.
"Yeah… I'm coming…" Syaoran said, trying to keep his temper.
"Sakura?" Syaoran called.
"Oh… Right… Coming…" Sakura said getting up to leave.
Outside
"Let's go for lunch," Kaoru said dragging Syaoran before he could run off.
"Yeah, that's a great idea. I'm starving. Why don't you come too?" Syaoran asked Sakura hopefully, turning around.
Kaoru glared at Sakura, sending off "He's mine, BACK OFF!" signals.
"Err… No thanks… I don't want to… disturb the both of you…" Sakura replied, looking apologetic.
"Oh… Okay then," Syaoran said understanding what she was trying to say, but still couldn't hide his look of disappointment.
Outside the building
Syaoran's cellphone suddenly beeped.
The screen flashed.
1 message received.
Syaoran then opened it. The message said, 'I'm sorry… I hope you understand… and thank you…' He then scrolled down and saw the sender's name, Ying Fa.
He smiled at it. Kaoru saw it.
"Who was the message from?" Kaoru asked.
"Just some company people," Syaoran said, still smiling.
"Ok……" Kaoru continued, not believing a word.
At the restaurant
"Excuse me for a second," Syaoran said, excusing himself to the toilet.
"Yeah, sure…" Kaoru answered.
'Good, Syaoran's gone. Finally… I can have a look at it,' Kaoru thought reaching towards Syaoran's cellphone.
She then scrolled through his messages.
'The latest message… This must be it,' Kaoru thought triumphantly.
"Thank you… From… Ying Fa?" Kaoru read.
"Ying Fa??... Sakura…" Kaoru whispered angrily.
