Cheaters and Liars
"Forget what I ever said." Syaoran turned away and pulled on the wig. "We gotta go."
Before Sakura could say anything, he pulled her, by the hand, out.
"But Sakura…being an agent, shouldn't stop you from loving Li."
"I know." Sakura responded. "I'll think about it more…maybe I will tell him."
Kaori smiled and laid her hand on her shoulder. "Okay," She said. "And when you do…he'll be the happiest man in the world, because he loves you."
"Oh Sakura…" Tomoyo sighed or yawned, whichever. "Did you finally realize you love him?"
Sakura stayed silent for a bit, then made a small 'mhmm' noise.
"Sakura, that's wonderful!" tomoyo smiled happily. It was way too late to squeal and jump for joy. "Have you told him?"
"I love you." He said softly as he looked her deep in the eyes.
"W-what?" Sakura shook her head slightly.
"I love you, Sakura." Syaoran sighed.
"Sakura…" He really did love her. And her she was being so absentminded to think about that.
"Sakura…" This all gave her a funny feeling.
"Ms. Sakura…" Because, she loved him too.
"Ms. Sakuraba?" Sempo Aki stared at her concerned. "Is everything okay? You're really out of it."
Sakura looked at her surroundings. One thing's for sure, everyone seemed to stare at her. Everyone except Sayuna Lo.
"Uh…uh… yeah." Sakura forced a smile. "I'm okay, just a bit tired."
After she said that, everyone no longer seemed to care about the matter and went back to their own little conversation.
"Pssst!" A low snakelike hiss sounded close to her ear. "Drop whatever I said, we have to get this. Just stall them and do whatever. We're on equal terms then, okay?"
Sakura nodded without looking at the cross dressed Syaoran and breathed in.
"Ms. Sempo Aki?" Syaoran said cheerily in his best high pitched feminine voice. "Can I see some of the clothes and make up you have? I just love your style. And if we can, talk about this Mr. Kobasagi your raving about."
Sakura gave a small quaint laugh at Syaoran's conceited mind before chugging down the rest of her water. 'He's right.' She thought. 'We have to get that file, and we're going to have to do it working together.'
"Gentlemen," Sakura drew the attention of Mr. Kenji Kagashi, Mr. Daisuke Yamato and Mr. Sakusha Hakute. "I'd like to say, that, as much as this gathering is as wonderful as it is…" She went on. "I say we need to boost things up a bit, and turn things on."
Sakura approached the sound system and put on music.
"Oooooohhh!" Sakura shouted as some song she really didn't know come on. "I LOVE THIS SONG!"
The gentlemen stared at her and laughed. Sakura swayed her hips gently to the music entirely off beat.
"Woooooooo!"

"Oh!" Sayuna asked Sempo Aki as they entered the large bedroom. "Can I use your bathroom?"
"Sure, you can use mine." Aki said. "Its right over there."
"Thanks." Sayuna said as she walked into the limestone theme bathroom.
After Sayuna closed and locked the door, she began to strip down to her boxers. Syaoran then thoroughly washed his face of all the make up plastered to his manly skin. When he was all washed up he opened to door and walked out.
"What would you like to see first?" Sempo asked with her back facing him as she rummaged through her filled closet.
"Surprise me." Syaoran said in his usual husky voice. He wrapped his arms around her and dug his nose into her blond hair, inhaling her scent.
"Kobasagi!" Aki gasped as she turned around surprised. "W-what are you doing here?"
"What happened to Kaito? And what do you mean what am I doing here?" Syaoran looked at her concerned. "You came on to me last night."
"I-I did?" She stuttered trying to remember.
"Oh yeah." He smirked. "It's a shame you don't remember last night. Maybe we should start all over again."
He kissed along her neck very gently.
"Uuhmm…" The poor girl was confused. "but I have guests downstairs… your girlfriend is down there!"
"We're in a fight, remember?" Syaoran remembered himself what Sakura mentioned earlier…before he confessed. She doesn't love him back anyway. "All that matters now is you babe."
Syaoran let his lips feel Aki's. She kissed him back as they fell on top of her vast bed. He had her mesmerized, and tangled up in her own world of desires. While his weight pinned her down, he broke from the series of kisses to get to the point.
"You know, you bribed me to get me here." Syaoran stated.
Sempo raised her thinned out eyebrows. "I did?"
"Oh you were a bad girl." Syaoran grinned down at her. "You were going to let me in on Tempta's bad list."
"Bad list?" Aki continued to question and tried so hard to remember back to when this happened.
"A document with all of the corporation's illegal records." Syaoran said. "So where is it naughty girl?"
"Oh! Ummm…" Sempo thought for a bit of its whereabouts. "Its in drawer beside the bed."
Syaoran got off of the woman and went into the small drawer beside the bed they were on. He found a pale yellow folder. Syaoran opened it and found 'HFTC – 03' typed on the inside.
"Babe," Syaoran said to Aki. "Why don't you get ready for me? I'll be in the washroom."
Sempo nodded as Syaoran went back into the washroom with the folder.
Syaoran put on his whole cross-dressing get-up. He went through her drawers to find some lipstick, cover-up, blush and mascara. He quickly put it on, being ultimately careful with handling. It paid off to have four sisters around growing up. When Syaoran was done, he smiled at his – or her reflection in the mirror at what a pretty good job he did. Sayuna placed the received file in the back waistband of her pants, just how Syaoran and Sakura did with their first file.
Sayuna walked out happily to find Sempo Aki lying on her side on top of the bed with her head resting on her raised hand.
"Ms. Lo?" Sempo stared completely bewildered. "What happened to Kaito Kobasagi?"
Sayuna gave Aki her best confused, peculiar raised eyebrow look she could, although her inner self (Syaoran) gladly enjoyed the attention.
"Umm, I don't know what you're talking about…" Syaoran went back to the high pitched female imitation. "I think I better get going. Thank you for everything though."
Sayuna ran downstairs to where the rest of the guests were.
"Ms. Sakuraba?" Sayuna shouted out as she reached the room they were all in. "I'm sorry I need to go. I remembered I have something to do… Ms. Sakuraba, you mentioned when we were in the bathroom that you needed a ride?"
Sakura put down her glass. "Oh right!" And grabbed her purse.
"I'm sorry gentlemen." She addressed the rest of the heads. "It was nice to get more acquainted with you all."
"Oh it's nothing really." Mr. Daisuke Yamato responded. "That's why we thought to have this, just something close and different from the many formal things we have."
Sakura nodded and smiled. "Well, anyway. I'm sure me and Kaito will see you all later to go over a few more things."
"Wonderful!" Yamato tipped his glass of Bacardi to her.
Sakura and Sayuna hurried out to the Porsche.
"You got it?" Sakura asked without looked at Sayuna.
"Yeah." Syaoran replied, just as well not looking at his partner. "Let's go back to the hotel so I can get this stuff off of me fast."

"Are you lying to me?" Sakura imposed. Syaoran looked at her as he was back into his regular clothing and washed off all that make up.
"What?"
"Are you lying to me?" She said again continuing not to look at him. Sakura found it so hard to look at Syaoran. It was like, she would burst into tears if she did. She wasn't sure why, but where they seemed to be at now, their relationship, seemed to hurt her and cause her a lot of pain. Why was admitting you love someone so hard to do? Was it hard for Syaoran when he did it? But what she saw – maybe it was all just lies.
"About what? That I love you?"
She didn't answer. So Syaoran took it as a 'yes'.
"Why would I lie about that?" He walked towards her then sat beside her. "Why would I ever lie about being in love with you?"
Sakura opened and closed her mouth, not having the right answer or words to say.
She remembered telling the rest of the heads that she would be right back. She wanted to make sure Syaoran was okay, and actually making progress. She hoped that he was alright, and that if he needed her help she would be ready to help him and they could run out and make a sleek breakaway. As she came up the stairs to the hallway and looked into the rooms, she found her partner in one room. The appearance of her real partner, Syaoran Li. Shirtless, in his boxers, the way he teased her. Her heart stopped as she watched him kissing the blonde Sempo Aki. It wasn't even that long ago that he told her that he loved her. Her, Sakura. She stood there as soon they fell onto the bed together. That was when Sakura turned around and walked back down, trying to regain consciousness.
As Sakura sat there having the small flashback, she felt her eyes un-focus themselves, her body melt, a blockage in her throat and a huge pang in her heart. She looked up to stare into his eyes. Those deep, amber eyes. At first they appeared to be serious and angry at her questioning. But as Sakura stared into them longer she found them passionate and full of life and sorrow. What struck her then was every moment spent with him. All the times they laughed then cried because who knew laughter could physically hurt so much. And those many times they yelled and screamed at each other. Every sorrowful memory and every mixed emotion they've had. They always seemed to be with each other and it amazed her how much they've actually lived through. It wasn't just the JTSA bond. It was out of their own will.
"Listen…" Syaoran broke her thoughts. "I'm sorry to hurt you like this. I know, our job is far more important. When we get back to Tokyo, we can file for separation. This'll be easier…"
New thought had run through her mind, washing away the others. A new partner? Filing for separation? This completely diminished the precious memories kept treasure up inside her. She held onto her breath, causing her eyes to fill up with water.
"Stupid." She called him as she came to embrace him.
"If you love me so much, what makes you think taking away the person I love will make me happy?" She sniffled. "It won't be fucking easier. And you know, our job isn't more important than us!"
Syaoran hugged her small body back. A gentle smile lit on his face, knowing that she had something for him. "What are you trying to say?"
"WILL YOU TWO OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE WE BREAK IN!" Kaori's loud raging voice came from outside their room door along with her bangs.
"Kaori!" Jo's voice sounded. "Calm down!"
"Calm down? I am calm."
There were a few small clicks. "Guys! You better have some clothes on, cause we're coming in…NOW!"
The door burst open showing Agents, Kaori and Jo, shielding their faces.
"For goodness' sakes, you two…" Kaori shouted. "Put some clothes on, will ya!"
Jo, the girl's boyfriend, pulled her stiff hand away from her eyes. Kaori saw Sakura hanging off Syaoran's neck. A small 'oh' escaped her mouth.
"So what's been happening with you two?" Jo sat himself down on the closest chair. "We haven't seen you guys since Casino night."
"Yeah." Kaori joined in. "We heard you killed Natsuno that night."
Sakura nodded. "We got the file that night and today."
:"Oh goodie!" The redhead jumped for joy. "That means one more file left to go."
All of them sighed and let out a heaving 'yeah'.
"So…uh…who's the last head?" Jo inquired.
"Sakusha Hakute." Syaoran stated.
"How's that gonna go?" Kaori said.
"I'm not sure…" Sakura crossed her legs. "I'm thinking…persuade him."
A coy, mischievous smile formed across her face. Sakura's eyes darted to Kaori, then she turned to the males of the group.
"I hope you guys don't mind."
Oh my! It seems like Syaoran was playing some games himself that DOESN'T include Sakura. Anyway, he still loves her, that's what matters right? OOooooohh I'm so excited!
