Chapter 5 – Again?
Ding Dong
"Ohayo Mihara-chan!" Syaoran chirped happily as he poked his head through the door. "What time is it?" Mihara yawned, her hair was ruffled up. "Who's at the door?" Ryuka asked tiredly almost falling down the stairs. "Why is it all dark?" Kimura whimpered after she tripped onto the COLD tiles.
"Is Sakura in?" Syaoran asked eagerly. "She left ages ago. She said something about recording with Eriol." Mihara answered stifling a yawn. "But it's so early and Sakura always had trouble waking up…" Syaoran stated with his finger on his chin. "EXACTLY! IT'S EARLY! YOU WAKE US UP AT 5AM AND YOU COMPLAIN TO US!!!" Kim, Ryu and Mii screamed at the top of their lungs.
"Syaoran?" Ryu sweat dropped looking out the door. "Kuso, you women sure are loud." Syaoran complained dusting himself off. "WE ARE NOT!!" Kim yelled then covering her mouth up. "Well I better go now. Good luck with him." Syaoran waved off. "Yes, he'll be here when you need him." Mihara replied.
Recording Studio
"PLEASE ERIOL! I'M WEAK! We've been recording for hours." Sakura cried sliding down to her knees overdramatically. "You signed the contract didn't you? So you do what I tell you." Eriol smirked quenching his thirst with a bottle of PUMP. "WATER! WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?" Sakura snatched the bottle away from Eriol only to find it was empty.
"Well hopefully, it'll be a big hit. And I know talent when I smell it." Eriol laughed. "So now talent smells like cherry blossoms?" Sakura cocked an eyebrow. "What's the album called?" Eriol asked taking out a pen. (The nice shiny clicking pens) "Blame It On Me." Sakura answered coolly.
Girl I dream of you all day, you took my breath away, 'cos you are the one
"Eriol is that your phone tune?" Sakura giggled. "Hello. Syaoran…yeh she's here. What's she doing? Laughing at my phone melody. You think she's right? You think it's gay? Alright, I'm just finishing up with her. Ok, bye then." Eriol hung up. "Finish now, call you later. Syaoran. Pick you up. Wedding. Bye." Eriol spoke briefly then left.
"Wait! What wed--?" Sakura was speechless. The wedding. Syaoran was getting married. Snap back to reality Sakura! Her brain cursed.
In the car
"So Sakura how was it?" Syaoran asked out of the blue. "It was fun. I really enjoyed working with Eriol." Sakura smiled. "So Eriol is already making you practice those goodie goodie lines?" Syaoran laughed keeping his eyes on the road. "Yep!" Sakura giggled. "Umm, Syaoran where are we going? The city is back there." Sakura watched the signs go by.
"You don't know?" Syaoran laughed. "Just tell me!" Sakura whined. "You're still wearing pyjamas." Syaoran burst out laughing. Sakura looked down and there she was wearing 'Hello Kitty' PJ's. "Ah-ha-ha-ha." Sakura laughed nervously.
KMR mansion
"So Sakura you finally noticed that you're wearing jammies?" Kimura teased laughing. "Meet Thomas Shin. He's a friend of yours I think. He came this morning, when you left." Ryuka introduced. A tall man with midnight blue hair came out. He had green eyes, shiny white teeth and a great build. "Konnichiwa Thomas-kun. Long time no see." Sakura smiled fakely. "I got to go do something, I'll be back." Ryu and Kim left.
"I HATE YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHY DID YOU COME BACK?" Sakura screamed frustrated. "It's good to see you too. I missed you." Thomas hugged Sakura. "Get away from me. You weren't there when I need you." Sakura spoke calmly. "How do you expect me to? I live in Korea damn it." Thomas huffed. "Knowing how rich you are, you could have flown in….but you didn't."
"I'm sorry alright? I'm sorry I wasn't there when your parents died. I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you like I promised. I'm just really sorry ok…" Thomas hoarsely whispered. "It doesn't matter; it's all in the past. I don't care about you anymore." Sakura spat. "You were always this stubborn…and I would be lying if I said that it wasn't one of the qualities about you, which made me for in love with you."
Outside
Syaoran was watching the whole event take place and he prayed in his head that Sakura wouldn't break his heart.
Inside
Thomas was backing Sakura into a corner with his eyes full of desire…not lust. Then in one swift movement, his lips were on Sakura's. Sakura's eyes widened with anger and shock. She quickly pushed Thomas off. Thomas licked his lips and smirked. "You know you enjoyed it."
Sakura quickly rushed out with clothes. "Syaoran can I change at your place?" Sakura asked nervously. "Sure. What happened in there?" Syaoran asked out of the blue. "Nothing much."
Dressing Place
"How bout this dress?" Sakura asked coming out of the changing room for the 50th time. "Noo..Try this one." Syaoran chucked Sakura another dress. "Ugghh."
"Hello Eriol….things are going along well….you want her now……video clip?....ok I'll take her there now. Ja." Syaoran soke boredly on his phone.
"Let's go." Syaoran dragged Sakura out of the store. "Thank kami." Sakura sighed.
Recording Place
"You put makeup on her. You get her outfit. You give her the briefing. You do her hair. And you get me a coffee, no sugar." The director ordered. "Alright Sakura, Eriol says just be yourself, he'll be back after you're done. "Oh…okay then." Sakura mumbled. "Don't worry about it you'll be fine." Her makeup artist comforted. Sakura weakly smiled back.
"One, two, three. ACTION!"
'Mask of Pain'
The music plays softly with very loud bass. Sakura is wearing a long silver gown and a silver mask which covers half her face. Her hair frames her face nicely.
Since you went away
I've been dancing with two left feet
Waiting in winter's day
Losing tune with the beat
Sakura dances slowly by herself occasionally bumping into people.
Trying to free my soul
Trying to stop these tears
Trying to run away since you stole…(my heart)
Trying to drink all these fears
Sakura is lying on a golden couch staring up at the ceiling covered with stars.
Cos it's a mask of pain (when I see you)
Searching in this room
Finding you is vain
Hoping you'll love me soon
Pulling off her mask, it reveals too emerald jewels. She looks around and everyone s dancing happily while she alone dances with air.
Tripping, falling to the floor
I thought you'd be there to break my fall
What a fool am I with love
What's the point if you never call?
She falls down to the floor and no one stops to help her up. She looks around and a young man comes to help her up. She smiles in hope but alas, the young man walks back to his true lover.
Gotta get away from you
Taking the easy way out
Gosh, you know what you made do?
Man, I look like a stupid girl scout
She dusts herself off and keeps on looking for her true love, but to no avail. Finally she gives up, ready to head out the door.
Cos it's a mask of pain (god I'm a fool)
Searching in this room
Finding you is vain
Hoping you'll love me soon
She spots him….the one she's always loved and walks towards him smiling slightly. She's ready to hug him, but suddenly he disappears….it was all an illusion.
Cos it's a mask of pain (when finally it's not)
Finding you in this room
Searching for my name
Hoping I'll love you soon.
This time for real she sees him heading towards her. But when he extends his arms out to hug her, she walks past him and acts as if he was never there.
"CUT! Great! That's a wrap. My wife is getting pissed at these late hours I'm working." The director yawned. "But it's only 4 'o' clock." "I said late." The director glared.
"Wow Sakura, you did better than I expected." Eriol smiled. "How long you been here?" Sakura asked politely smiling back. "Since filming started." Eriol laughed. Sakura slapped him playfully on the arm. "You put a lot of thought into that song…what's that all about?"
"I use to like this guy, but he doesn't like me…so yeah…it's a fantasy that he'll love me back. But when he realises it'll be too late." Sakura explained somewhat cheerfully. "But that's our little secret, ok?" "Yeh of course. I have to go do some paperwork now. I'll catch ya later." Eriol beamed kissing Sakura on the cheek. "Bye!!" Sakura waved.
Outside
Eriol walked over to his sleek silver Mercedes. "I wonder if she still loves me? Man, kissing her feels good." Eriol muttered to himself smiling. Eriol got into his car and drove around the corner, then stopped.
Eriol pulled off his face. "This feels much better." Syaoran sighed after pulling off the 'Eriol' mask.
