Jealous Games
"Were you just checking her out?"
"No."
"Don't lie to me."
"I'm not lying! I swe-"
"Yes you are! You were checking her out when you know your supposed to be my awesome boyfriend." Sakura rolled her eyes.
Excellent. They were back on normal terms. Wasn't it fun how I toyed with your interests?
They really should take up a career in acting instead, because they didn't show a hint of whatever that previously happened in the last 24 hours affect them. But really, it dug deep. It was as though your job as a digger drastically changed from spoon work to shovel work. And I mean those big shoves, no the sandbox ones.
All four agents had arrived and gawked at Tukani Casino. They had been greeted by Yamato and Natsuno in spiffing blue suits. Kaori and JO pulled off as customers and friends with Kabasagi and Sakuraba. Yamato, of course, did not mind at all. Cha-ching went through his head at the mention of customers. Now they were all seated in the dining area. Syaoran, had just been caught watching a woman that passed by him.
"Honestly Kaito," Sakura shook her head in disappointment. "How are we going to get through this 'relationship' if you look at other girls instead of focusing on me?"
"Focus on you?" Syaoran repeated. "I'll show you focus on you, love."
And he did. He didn't stare at her face, or even her head. It was everything below that interested him. He even licked his lips to show his interest, maybe even to control the drool.
Sakura's leg swung hard under the table. So hard that he cringed in pain for longer than usual, and didn't even let out an 'ow' but instead a groan.
"Kaori honey?" Jo turned to his girlfriend sincerely, trying to ignore Syaoran's blubbers of pain. "I lov-"
"Don't even try it." Kaori closed her eyes and sipped her drink. "I know you were checking her out as well."
"Okay!" Jo admitted. "But it wasn't my fault! I swear, it was asking me to look! I was only being gentlemanly!"
Kaori's leg hit Jo hard immediately that soon, he joined Syaoran in musical pain.
"Men!" Sakura and Kaori objected. Both women stood up and made their way to the ladie's room.
"Did you tell him?" Kaori asked eagerly once the door to the washroom closed. "I was trying to see the signs all day, but it was difficult to tell."
Sakura let her hair loose from the clips that held them back and heaved a stray 'no'.
"No?" Kaori repeated as she took out a thin black tube of red lipstick. "You didn't tell him?"
Sakura shook her head, looking at her reflection in the side spread mirror. Black halter and green skirt…
-FlashBack-
"Green's my favourite colour." Syaoran stated as he walked into the bathroom where she stood staring at herself, wondering whether she was ready to go to the casino. Sakura didn't respond. Why? Because she was breath taken by his shirtless reflection.
He walked closer and closer to her smirking, holding the green shirt he should be wearing.
Syaoran snaked his arms around her tiny waiste, pulling her close to his sweet body.
"I like what you're wearing." He said close to her ear. "Do you like what I'm wearing?"
"Y-you're not w-wearing anything!" Sakura's eyes widened as though she had seen some sort of vulgar word. (He's in his boxer shorts. LOL) 'Temptation…must fight temptation!'
"I know." He laughed gently. "You're laying eyes on a real man."
Sakura gained self control, pushing him away. "Get some clothes on and lose the arrogance!"
-EndOfFlashBack-
"I'm going to…" Sakura sighed.
"Just give it time." Kaori closed the cap over the tube and smacked her lips to eve out the colour. Sakura nodded, fixing her hair.
"Then in the meantime…" Kaori started, dropping her lipstick in her white purse matching the unique white top. (Kaori and Jo changed as well.) "You're going to have to work on Natsuno."
Sakura stared at her unsure of what she meant. "Wha!"
"Natsuno seems to have a thing for you." Kaori winked at Sakura. Her eyes blinked at Kaori's suggestive laughter.
"He couldn't keep his eyes off you just welcoming us." Kaori explained. "We all seemed to notice, especially Li."
Sakura continued to stare at her. Sure, she noticed vaguely about Natsuno's gaze on her…but was Syaoran really jealous? How?
-FlashBack-
"Good evening Mr. Yamato. Mr. Natsuno." Sakura smiled sweetly at both gentlemen near the entrance of Tukani Casino. Daisuke had briefly asked who Kaori and Jo were, then told them where the dining area was. Aruba Natsuno had stared at Sakura. In taking her beauty every moment she stood before him. Syaoran took immediate action and pushed her along.
"Stop pushing me!"
"You're not going fast enough! Hurry up!"
"Hurry up?" Sakura repeated confused and a tad angry. "What's the rush! Geez! Do you want me to run?"
"Yes, Would you? You might actually make it to your seat a second early."
"What? Would you like to die early?"
-EndOfFlashBack-
"I'd take this opportunity to tap into his desires so you could get the next file." Kaori pointed out. "Plus, you'd be getting Li jealous. A little payback for what just happened back there."
Sakura thought it over for a moment, then a cunning smile formed on her pretty face. "Yeah."
Kaori laughed. "I'll back you up."
Sakura smiled and came to hug Kaori.
That dream; Kaori and Jo seemed to have betrayed them. Told them wrong information, and faked their job as Agents. But everything so far seemed to fit in. And Sakura wasn't sure to listen to this good vibe that she got off Kaori, but…she'd just have to trust herself. Watch out for anything suspicious off them…but trust herself, them and Syaoran.
"Thanks." Sakura said before retracting from the hug.
"No problem!" Kaori smiled at her. "Now let's go have fun. Those two deserve what's coming to them."
Sakura nodded in agreement and they both left the bathroom, just after making sure they looked hot. Hot enough to get other guys looking their way and Syaoran and Jo jealous.
They walked out, hair down free and loose, skin revealing and making every step smooth, graceful and ladylike.
Kaori and Sakura were heading toward their table when half way there…
"Are you ladies enjoying yourselves?" Aruba Natsuno popped up and gave them a genuine smile. His eyes wandered along Sakura's lines.
She giggled and fluttered her eyes.
"Yes." She said. "This place is so wonderful! You must be really proud to own it."
"Uh yeah!" He calmed down a bit, yet the yearning was clear in his eyes. "Business in my sector has been doing quite well."
"Is that so?" Sakura shifted closer to him casually, tossing her head to the side. Kaori was mentally laughing like a maniac in her head, seeing the looks Syaoran was giving them.
'Wow…' Kaori giggled. 'Sakura's good.'
"I'd like to introduce my friend, Sano Miroku." A man stepped up beside Aruba. He was tall and muscular. Dark hair slicked back, and square framed glasses shielding his brown eyes.
'Perfect.' Sakura and Kaori both thought.
'Kaori can go for him and make Jo jealous as well.' Sakura smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Sano." Both Sakura and Kaori greeted.

"What the hell is that!" Syaoran grunted angrily. His arms crossed and he slumped back in his chair, squinting at the flirty sight of Sakura and Aruba.
"What is what?" Jo asked.
"What does she think she's doing?" Syaoran continued on bitterly. "She knows that he knows that we're supposed to be a couple. And she's hitting on him right in front of me, like I don't even see it."
"Maybe she's just being friendly?" Jo suggested.
"She's touching him!' Syaoran sneered. "That's a little too friendly if you ask me."
Jo turned around in his seat to look at them, and shrugged.
"I'm going to get her." Syaoran said briefly before getting up.
"No don't!" Jo stopped him.
"Why?"
"She's doing that on purpose. Just to make you jealous."
"Well it's working!" Syaoran sat back down in his previous position.
"And you can't let her think that." Jo advised him.
"Well, your lady seems to want to work the same thing on you."
"What?" Jo spun around again to find another man with them. Kaori was giggling and coming awfully close to him. "NO!"
"Hold your horses." Syaoran spoke, stopping Jo from marching over there. "You're the one that said to leave them so they don't think that we're jealous."
"Oh she is in so much trouble!" Jo grumbled back into his seat.

"Well…" Sakura smiled one last time at Aruba Natsuno, watching her and Kaori walk away slowly. "We'll talk to you guys later."
They walked away a bit giggling walking toward the table. Syaoran and Jo gave the girls the biggest, meanest, most disgusted glare, ready to say "What the fuck was that about!"
But they passed right by them. Narrowly missing their seats and heading right on to the bar, leaving their jaw to drop and watch them.
"This is no fun." Jo gritted his teeth.

"Hehehe…" Kaori laughed ordering up a glass of Courvoisier for them. "Did you see their reaction? Priceless."
"They should be regretting checking that girl out by now."
"Yupp!" Kaori laughed silly. "Now they know not to mess with us."
"Mess with you? Why would you want to stop me from messing with you?"
Kaori and Sakura turned to see two angry men. They smiled sweetly to see their expression.
"Hello love." Kaori tilted her head cutely to the side and lifted the drink to her lips, in taking the lovely bitter sweet taste. "Come to join me."
"You're in trouble." Jo grumbled.
"Ooooh I am, am I?" Kaori looked up at him and put on the biggest smile on her face. "I haven't been listening? I thought you would've liked this…"
"Don't even try this with me." Jo tried to sound in power. Didn't seem to be working since it was clear to see that Kaori was calling the shots.
"I guess I better stop and be a good girl." Kaori pouted before lightly kissing him on the lips.
"That's better." Jo smiled. "So we're even now?"
"Sure." She answered. "You're just going to regret what happened today tonight."
His eyes widened. "What does that mean?" Jo was able to croak.
"It means nothing." Kaori smiled deviously. He gulped down his regrets.
Syaoran came close to Sakura's face. Examining her like she did something secret behind his back, although he saw the whole thing.
"You." He said raucously.
"Yes sir?" Sakura played innocently. Her eyes grew big and childlike as Syaoran tried to stare harshly into them.
"What do you think you're doing playing little games like that?" His lips barely moved from their fixed position. She pouted and furrowed her eyes.
"I was just having fun." She mumbled. "Can't let you have all that fun. It isn't fair!"
"Urgh! Sak- Hitomi!" Syaoran complained. She took her slender finger and placed it on his lips, soft to the touch. Sakura also plastered a smile across her face.
"I'm going to get that file. Just watch." Was all she said. Then Sakura turned quickly to Kaori, setting her Courvoisier down on the counter of the bar.
"Let's go play some poker!" She grinned excitedly.
They both left Syaoran and Jo again, scurrying to the game room. They were both in trouble when they all got home. But for the time being, the fun and games were all too good to let them pass.

Okay, so poker didn't end up coming. Nothing really came actually. Sakura and Kaori were wandering around for a bit mindlessly not sure of what to do. Sometimes they even just stood aside watching people place bets, play and cheer others on. The place was loud and crowded. There were mounds of people in each place. Maybe it wasn't the fact that Sakura and Kaori were not sure of what to do first, they were just incapable of getting through the people. And because there was so much people, it was inevitable for them to get separated.
"Lost?" A deep voice sauntered to Sakura's ears. To be honest, it wasn't as nice as the sound of Syaoran's voice. His was soft, deep and warming. Protecting almost, and gave her shivers down her spine everytime he used some sort of seductive tone. This voice chilled her a little, but it was somewhat nice. She turned to see Mr. Natsuno.
"Yeah." Sakura smiled at him. His hands were shoved casually into his pockets and he stood straight and tall. "Oh! I wanted to ask you something."
"Shoot." He said as she neared him.
"If the casino and the dining area is down here…" She started. "Then what's upstairs? This building has 3 or 4 floors right?"
"Yes, 3 floors." He answered. "The upstairs is office and security area. I have my own building in the area that coordinates all of the casinos around, but every Tempta Co. building has a few floors to it."
Sakura was then pushed and shoved here and there, soon she fell into Aruba's arms. She looked up at him into his dark eyes. His cheeks turned pink.
"Listen," Aruba brought Sakura back to her feet properly. "It's a bit crowded down here. Would you like to go upstairs since you're so eager to know what's up there."
Sakura nodded. 'Perfect chance!'
"Just try the room on the third floor, room number 327."
'That's what Mr. Kengi Kagashi had said to us when me and Syaoran left after … that little….meeting.' Sakura remembered back to their first file retrieving. 'If Natsuno said that all buildings have this kind of office area…then that means, one room is meant for some special guest-like occasion; possibly a secret entertainment room. Ewww these dirty, horny people!'
Sakura traced her thoughts as Natsuno was talking to her as they stood in the elevator.
'Okay…' Sakura told herself. 'Can't waste anytime…I need to lead him on now.'
"Errmmm…" Sakura looked down shyly. "Mr. Natsuno?"
He looked over at her. "Yes?"
"Do…" She shuffled her feet around, trying to focus on her nervous feelings. Sakura looked up at him as innocently as she could. Oh, how she wanted Syaoran right now. "Do you think…I'm pretty?"
"Yes. You're very beautiful." Natsuno blurted out. After he realized what he said, he chuckled and said. "I'm quite envious of Mr. Kobasagi."
"Is that so?" She smiled, nearing him a little more. "Because…I don't think he thinks I'm beautiful. I don't think he thinks I'm pretty."
"He doesn't?" Sakura could feel his breath become fast and unsteady as she slowly slid near him.
"No." She whispered. "We're not doing so well in our relationship right now…"
"O-oooohhH!" He stared at her. Fighting all desires and temptations.
"Yes." She said slyly. Her lips were so close to his. She opened her mouth and let her tongue slide over the lipstick before speaking. "This is you're chance…"
Her hand tugged on his tie that was coiled around her fingers. "…You're chance to get me, if you ever want me."
Then, with that, as much as she wouldn't of liked to, she set her soft lips on his.
Okay, I am soooo not supposed to be writing fanfics right now, so it's going to be awhile till the next chapter. But I'm going to try to update soon. I'm in so much trouble cuz I'm getting a 55 in math. I understand it! I just...I don't know...all of my grades have been falling for a couple of years now. Anyhow, I shouldn't be writing until I get that grade up. My math teacher is stupid anyway..hehehee...
Also, I've been evil toyou with your minds. A lot of you think that Sakura and Syaoran are going to confess soon. Some of you are suspicious of Kaori and Jo and some of you are just plain worried about that dream. Hehehehe Ooooooohhh I love this! I'm throwing you guys off arent I? well messing with your minds. Well anyway...heres a nice cliff-hanger. :D THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS!
