"Impulse"
The next day…
"YOU DID WHAT?" shouted Meiling.
The three girls covered their ears and shut their eyes wincing at the piercing scream their friend had made
"God Meiling, you don't have to shout you know!" said an annoyed Mitsuki. Meiling's shriek caused everyone in the classroom to look at them with weird expressions in their faces
"True, we're like in front of you, you know." Said Sakura
"I bet Meiling didn't mean it, perhaps she was just too shocked…" said Tomoyo
"Who wouldn't be? I mean Syaoran did all that? That's so shocking!" countered Meiling
"Anyway, Sakura-chan you better not utter a word about this to anyone else," whispered Mitsuki
Tomoyo nodded. "So true, if word gets out that you slept over at Syaoran's house, get ready to feel the wrath of his fangirls."
"I shudder to think what those freaks might do to you," said Mitsuki, closing her eyes imagining the countless scary things that could possibly happen to Sakura
"But then again, this is actually the first time Syaoran's been nice to a girl." Commented Meiling. "I mean if those were his fangirls, I bet he'd just shrug and walk away."
Tomoyo and Mitsuki nodded
"Yeah, he'd probably just leave them lying there and die of hypothermia." laughed Mitsuki
Sakura sweat-dropped. 'Syaoran would do such a thing? Am I really the first girl he's ever been nice too?'
"Isn't that a little too um...harsh?" asked Sakura slowly.
"True, but hey this is Syaoran we're referring to." stated Meiling "Oh and Sakura, the tryouts for volleyball are later after dismissal, don't forget okay? Be there okay? OKAY?
"Hai, hai Meiling-chan!" Sakura sighed
X.X.X.X.X
Meanwhile...
"Whaaat? You actually let a girl stay in your room? As in YOU?" asked a bewildered Keisuke. But his expression suddenly changed into a smirk and suggestive eyebrows "I wonder what you and Sakura did last night."
A vein was popping out of Syaoran's forehead, which could only mean…
"Ouch! What the hell was that for? Did you have to hit me?" complained Keisuke
True enough; Syaoran smacked Keisuke in the head while mumbling some thing like "Stupid Pervert with his stupid dirty thoughts!"
"You deserved it, thinking of dirty stuff." Stated Eichi
"What? As if I'm the only one with those thoughts! I'm sure you and Eriol are thinking of the same thing as me!" countered Keisuke
Eriol and Eichi sweat dropped, indeed Keisuke was right, the same thought crossed their minds, but they would never let Syaoran know. No sir!
"O-of course not, we're not l-like you!" defended Eriol
"Tch, you disgust me Keisuke!" said Syaoran, but anyone who would look closer would see the blush creeping up to Syaoran's face…
"Anyway, your fangirls better not find out about what happened. I fear for Sakura, who knows what they might do to her." drawled Eriol'
"Besides, they'll chase you more, bombarding you with questions like, "why her syao-kun? Why not me?" imitated Keisuke putting on a sugary girly voice
"True, it'll be tough to save you again from their clutches." added Eichi
"Alright, I get the point already! As if I'd tell them!" glared Syaoran
"Anyway, today is the volleyball tryouts. I think Sakura is trying out. Let's watch her." suggested Eichi
X.X.X.X.X
"Good afternoon everyone! Welcome to the volleyball tryouts! My name is Mizuki-sensei and I'm the coach of volleyball varsity team. I want all of you to divide into pairs. Each pair will play against another pairs. The judging will be solely based on teamwork and individual skills. Remember that there are only 4 spots open so play your best! Good luck." Mizuki shouted so everyone heard her.
Eriol, Keisuke, Eichi and Syaoran arrived on the gym and they spotted Mitsuki and Tomoyo with her trusty videocam on the middle bleachers, so they proceeded there and sat beside them. They spotted Sakura and waved. She smiled and waved back at them only to find that Syaoran was staring intensely at her, which made her blush furiously and turn away.
"Eh? What's wrong with Sakura-chan?" asked Keisuke
"Dunno, maybe she's just nervous." replied Mitsuki.
Meiling, being the team captain, stood beside Coach Mizuki and watched as the other pairs played against each other. She conversed with Mizuki-sensei about each player's strengths and weaknesses. Soon, Sakura's turn came up and she was paired with a random girl named Yufa.
"Sakura-chan! You can do it!" shouted Keisuke
"Come on Sakura!" cheered Mitsuki
"Sakura-chan! Do your best!" encouraged Tomoyo while positioning herself to videotape Sakura's moves. She's planning to call this tape "Sakura's First Tryouts."
Mizuki-sensei blew the whistle. It had begun. All chatters died down as everybody silenced in anticipation to see how the new girl would do.
Sakura was the first one to serve.
'Okay. Calm down Sakura. Remember what you learned."
Sakura tossed to ball in the air and smacked it hard. The ball skimmed the top of the net and was speeding down to the ground. It was too low for the other team to return it.
'Hmm, pretty good serve. Perhaps even better than mine.' Thought Meiling
Sakura did four more successful serves. Though at times it would go a bit off but at least it was still in.
On the opposing side they had served a low ball. Sakura instinctively put her hands together and bumped it in the air.
"Set it!" she cried out.
Yufa nodded and volleyed the ball high in the air. Everyone watched Sakura as she jumped in the air and spiked the ball downwards to the other side. At first they were confused, events were too fast for their minds to process all the information. It was then the ball bounced back soo hard, showing that the opposing team failed to return it.
"Holy shit Sakura! Don't pulverize the ball." muttered Meiling
"Oops..." said Sakura sheepishly. The whole gym was silent. Their eyes were wide after witnessing Sakura killing the ball.
"Umm, -err that concludes the tryouts!" rang Meiling's voice in the quiet gymnasium. All the hopeful girls gathered in a group ready to hear the four names that would be on the volleyball team this year.
"Thank you for your effort in trying out. It has been indeed a difficult decision but I'm confident in these four." Said Mizuki-sensei
They all gasped for breath as the coach opened her mouth again.
"The four girls on this years team will be..."
"Come on Sakura-chan. You just have to make it!" said Tomoyo under her breath who is still recording everything apparently.
"Ichiro Asumi." The girl squealed and separated from the group to stand beside the volleyball team with a sly grin on her proud face.
"Ikusawa Ruriko." This time the girl didn't squeal, she just smirked as she took her place beside Akumi
"Minami Yufa." This girl was Sakura's partner so she shot a nervous glance at Sakura and sincerely hoped that the last name would be Sakura as she took her place beside Kurenai.
"And finally the best one of all…" Mizuki-sensei paused for effect. Sakura closed her eyes while her friends kept their fingers crossed. Suspense is building up in the gym.
"…Kinomoto Sakura!" announced Mizuki-sensei "Congratulations to you four! And for all of you who didn't make it, you are welcome to try out again next year. And so may I present to you, the new four members of the volleyball team!"
Everybody in the gym broke into a wild applause and cheered.
Sakura looked at Meiling wide eyed who gave her a thumbs-up in return.
"I made it? I really made it?" asked Sakura in shock
"You bet! You really deserved it Sakura! I'm pretty sure you're even better than me!" shouted Meiling in happiness unable to control her emotions and hugged Sakura.
Before Sakura could even take her position beside Yufa, Tomoyo (still recording) and Mitsuki ran towards her followed by a hyperactive Keisuke, a beaming Eichi, a grinning Eriol and an awestruck Syaoran with a blank look on his face.
"Congratulations Sakura!" smiled Tomoyo as she hugged her auburn haired friend feeling extremely proud of her bestfriend.
"Sakura-chan! That was amazing! That power!" gasped Mitsuki
"Good work Sakura," said Eriol
"Sakura-chan! That was so cool! That spike was the best ever!" Keisuke said loudly. He was overly hyper after he witnessed the spike.
"Congratulations Sakura. You know, I think this calls for a celebration." Said Eichi
"Ei-kun's right Sakura! What should we do?" asked Meiling excitedly.
"Umm..."
Sakura thought for a while... Then it hit her.
"I know! Why don't we have a sleepover at my house! We can do it tomorrow because it's a Friday." Sakura proposed
"Really Sakura? Are you sure?" asked Mitsuki
"Of course I am!"
"Oh yeah! Sleeping over at Sakura's! I like that!" shouted Keisuke
"Oi Keisuke, shut up you're too loud." said Syaoran.
"Well, you can't stop me! I'm very excited and so is everyone. And I know you are too, though you deny it!"
"Whatever!"
'Me? Excited? As if!' thought Syaoran 'But I think she really deserves it, she's good! Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated her yet'
X.X.X.X.X
Everyone talked loudly on the way home. One by one, they separated from the group when it was their home. After finally bidding Mitsuki goodbye, Sakura and Syaoran were the only ones left. They both walked in complete silence until surprisingly Syaoran said something.
"You know, that was pretty good... for a girl I mean."
"What's that suppose to mean?" glared Sakura.
Syaoran smirked.
"Well, you're just jealous." stated Sakura.
He raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really?"
He turned towards her and walked closer to her. Feeling that he was getting too close, Sakura began to step back while Syaoran kept advancing. It was until her back hit the wall that she had to stop. Again, Syaoran smirked and leaned down to her ear. Their closeness made Sakura very nervous indeed.
"Why would I be jealous of you?" he asked. His breath was dancing on her neck.
"I... You see… umm... Syaoran..." her face was turning red from the closeness.
He smirked and straightened himself out.
"What?"
"I-I uh... that way h-house gotta go! Bye!" stammered Sakura then ran off.
Syaoran simply smirked at her retreating back as she turned to an intersection while he crossed the street towards his house.
X.X.X.X.X
'Nice going Sakura! Real nice! I-I uh... that way h-house gotta go! Bye? Smooth… just real smooth.'
Sakura is ranting at herself again after replaying what had happened between her and Syaoran thinking how stupid her reaction and facial expression must have been. She flopped down onto her pink bed with cherry blossoms and buried her head in her pillow from embarrassment.
'But then again, he did compliment me… I think… Maybe that's his way of saying congratulations' Sakura flushed at the thought
"That was my priceless and stupidest reaction yet! Argh! How embarrassing!"
'Stupid idiot Syaoran! What the hell is he doing to me!'
She sighed and started to get ready for bed, determined to forget the encounter.
With Syaoran…
'What just happened? What has gotten into me? What made me do all those things!'
Syaoran is lying on his bed with the green covers, glaring hard at the ceiling. He also has been very preoccupied at ranting at himself, still not getting over the fact that he did outrageous things… To Sakura too!
'It's like I can't control myself, like a reflex. Without thinking twice, I blurted those words to her and approached her. Gah! I'm so stupid!' thought Syaoran. 'That does it, I solemnly swear that I'm not gonna lose myself around her! Who knows what she's thinking of me right now?'
Then reality somewhat struck him…
"I actually flirted?" said Syaoran with a dumb look on his face
'Stupid idiot Sakura! What the hell is she doing to me!'
He sighed and close his eyelids, determined to forget the encounter all the same.
X.X.X.X.X
Dismissal…
"Can't wait… Can't wait… CAN'T WAIT!" shouted Keisuke.
"Yes, yes, we heard you. Now please SHUT THE HELL UP!" said a very annoyed Meiling
"Jeez, you get too excited over little things." said Eichi
Sakura giggled a bit. "Okay, so I'll see you guys in half an hour?"
They all nodded. All of them were excited on sleeping over at Sakura's house. They would be packing up once they get home and then go to her house in half an hour.
"Oh, I almost had forgotten! I haven't given you the address to my house."
"Tch, no shit Sherlock," snorted Syaoran
Sakura glared at him then sighed.
'There he goes again, being mean and sarcastic towards me. Just when I thought things will change after our little encounter yesterday…' thought Sakura sadly
"Okay, I live at 57 Crescent Hill Drive."
"Got it!" they all chimed writing the address down on a piece of paper.
"See you later Sakura-chan." smiled Tomoyo.
Sakura grinned and nodded.
X.X.X.X.X
"I'm coming!" shouted Sakura. She was running down the stairs in her pink sweats and white tank top. She had changed her clothes once she got home. Swinging open the door she was greeted with a stoic face, and grins. (A/N: Guess whom the stoic face belonged to?)
"Hey guys! Come in."
"Is this really your house Sakura?" gasped Meiling
"Yup!"
They all looked around. It was amazing. There was a chandelier hanging down at the main entrance, the staircase looked so grand. It spiraled down to the floor. Everything in the house looked so elegant.
"You're house is really nice, Sakura-chan."
"Thanks Mitsuki-chan!"
"Why are we here again?" asked Syaoran
"Because we're celebrating Sakura's victory yesterday, moron!" said Meiling "So Sakura-chan doesn't it get troublesome finding your way around here?"
"Err... not quite..." Sakura looked at all of them and noticed that someone was missing. Then it hit her.
"Hey where's Keisuke anyways?"
"The idiot said he had something to do," snorted Syaoran
"Probably off to buy more food." added Eriol
"Well he'd better hurry up and get here, coz it's gonna rain soon!" said Meiling
"Great, now I better get the towels," grumbled Sakura. She motioned everybody to follow her up the stairs.
"And now, I shall give you the tour of the house... well at least the second floor cause that's where we're gonna stay."
She walked down the hall with her friends trailing behind her. Sakura pointed to some rooms and told slight things about it.
"That's the second floor kitchen, it has everything the first floor one does so you guys can cook anything you want." she explained pointing to her right.
"And that's the media room, where we will be watching movies and this is also the place where everyone's gonna sleep. It's connected to the kitchen so easy access." Again it was on her right side.
"Finally, here's my room." Sakura walked to the open door three rooms in front of the kitchen and media room.
"If you girls haven't taken a shower yet you can use my bathroom in my room. Guys, you use the bathroom on the room at the far end of the hallway."
All of them walked inside her room. It looked like a normal girl's room. Her bed was fluffy and pink with cherry blossom sheets and her walls were also pink, there are a few posters and stuffed animals on the window ledge. There were more in the corners of her room. A desk occupied the space on the right side the room. A computer was on it along with a few framed pictures and a penholder. It looked very comfy and homey.
Oh, Sakura-chan! I love your room!" squealed Tomoyo in delight as the three girls flopped onto her bed. Except the guys, they were standing there watching them. Sakura giggled.
"Your room is so nice!"
"It's so clean!"
"Do you really think so? I was thinking of getting it redecorated."
"No! It's perfect the way it is!" said Meiling with wide eyes.
Mitsuki was smiling widely as she kept on poking one of Sakura's stuffed animals. She seemed to be in love with the cute stuffed bear holding a big heart.
"Mitsuki-chan, if you like the bear so much why don't you take it?"
Mitsuki snapped back to reality.
"Eh? I-I couldn't Sakura-chan! It's just so cute and I-I just…"
Sakura smiled.
"No, I want you to take it. It's my gift to you!"
"B-but..."
"No buts! It's yours!"
Mitsuki blushed.
"Thank you Sakura-chan!"
"Excuse me! Are you forgetting there are other people here?" snapped Syaoran.
"Eh? Syaoran-kun? Eriol-kun? Eichi-kun?" said Sakura dumbly.
Eriol and Tomoyo exchanged secret glances and smirks, as they heard Sakura call Syaoran by his first name.
"Who'd you think it was?" laughed Eriol
"Haha, I kinda forgot that you three were here. You guys are so quiet!"
"Jeez..." Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"Sakura, I think I just heard the doorbell," said Eichi.
"Eh? Keisuke's here then!" said Meiling
"Let's go!" grinned Sakura.
All of them ran down the doors and flung open the main door and were greeted with a extremely soaking Keisuke.
"Keisuke-kun? asked Mitsuki
"Aren't you guys gonna let me in? I'm freezing! Plus soaked!" shouted Keisuke
"Wow, you look like a drowned rat." commented Sakura.
"Serves you right for coming so late idiot," muttered Syaoran
"Oh, where are the towels we prepared earlier?"
"Here." said Eichi as he handed them over to Sakura.
"Thanks Eichi!" she smiled at him as she handed Keisuke the pile of towels.
"Come on Keisuke-kun. Hurry up, take a shower then we'll start the celebration." said Sakura.
"Okay, thanks. Where 's the bathroom?
"We'll take you to it!"
X.X.X.X.X
After one hour...
"Oh my... what the hell is he doing in there!" roared Syaoran.
"I bet he's taking a shit," yawned Eichi
"I think he's drowning in there..." frowned Meiling
"How the hell do you drown while you're standing up in the shower?" asked Tomoyo.
"It's possible," commented Eriol
"I hope he's okay..." Mitsuki whispered.
"I'm sure he's fine..." said Sakura trying to reassure herself and everyone else. They were all currently waiting for him in the media room, seated on the floor around a big table.
"Oh… I'm sure he is," snorted Syaoran.
"Ah! I feel so much better now!" came a bright cheery voice.
They all turned around and saw Keisuke with his big trademark grin.
"WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THERE?" they all yelled in unison.
"Eh? Well uh... you uh... see... I was uh..."
"Jeez, we have no time for this." said Eichi.
"Look Keisuke, you don't have to explain." sighed Sakura. "So what do guys want to do?"
They were all deep in thought until…
"I got it!" exclaimed Sakura "Anybody up for a game of truth or dare?"
"I am!" said Meiling
"Same goes for me!" said Mitsuki
"Yay!" cheered Keisuke
"I'd love to videotape!" (A/N: Guess who said this?)
…While the other three guys kept quiet staring at everyone in disbelief…
"You're playing, right Eriol-kun?" asked Sakura
"Well, if it's your idea I'll be glad to comply," smiled Eriol
"Eichi's gonna play whether he likes it or not!" stated Meiling
"What? I never said any-" His protests were cut off by Meiling's glare. "Alright! If it'll make everyone happy, I'll play!"
They cheered. Then they looked expectantly at Syaoran.
"What?" he asked as he noticed his entire friends look at him as if waiting for him to say something.
They sweatdropped.
"You playing or not?" asked Eriol
"No need to ask him, he'll definitely refuse! He's a chicken!" provoked Keisuke
"Oh really? I'll play then!"
They cheered again. Then they looked expectantly at Sakura this time
"What?" she asked as they all looked at her
They sweatdropped again.
"Umm, Sakura-chan we're waiting for you to start the game." Explained Tomoyo
"Oh yeah!" Sakura smiled sheepishly "My father gave me this weird round object that looks like a magic 8 ball, only it's used for truth or dare! It spits out a paper with instructions based on what you will choose, a truth question or a dare!"
Sakura showed everyone the mysterious "Truth or Dare" instrument, which DID resemble a magic 8 ball, but instead of being black with a number 8 on it, it was parchment yellow.
"Actually, it's a very good idea that we use this, because a lot of times when we play truth or dare we always run out of ideas for dares," smiled Eriol
"That's right! This way, we won't have any problems at all!" said Mitsuki
"So let's start already, what are we waiting for?" asked Keisuke
"But hey, where's the dare supposed to be written? I don't see anyplace for it to be shown at all. You'd think there'd be a little window or something," said Meiling, scratching her head.
"Actually, I haven't figured that out yet…" shrugged Sakura. Keisuke grabbed the ball to examine it.
"Whereisitwhereisitwhereisit—Aha! Uh, no, that's not it… Wait a minute, what's this little opening for?" Keisuke gestured to a tiny horizontal hole big enough for a small piece of paper to fit through.
"Why don't we try it and see?" said Tomoyo, unable to stand the suspense and whipping her video cam at the process. "I call this episode… A game of truth or dare!"
"Hold it! Let's be fair about this…" Eriol put the bottle of water he was drinking from earlier on the floor. "Whoever has the ball spins the bottle and whoever the nose end points to will be the, shall we say, victim."
"Smart!" said Meiling. She spun the bottle. "Okay! Here we go!"
Spin
Spin
Spin
"Hey, it's slowing down!" said Keisuke.
Spin…
STOP!
"Keisuke!"
"What! Me already! Jeez, okay then… Dare!" said Keisuke.
The truth or dare ball made a gentle humming sound, and a piece of paper with the dare written on it came out of the slit.
"It says you spin the bottle…" said Meiling, reading the first part.
"That isn't too hard!" Keisuke spun the bottle without waiting for further instructions, which stopped at Eriol.
"…And whoever person it lands on, you have to -err, Keisuke?" continued Meiling
"What?"
The media room's occupants tensed.
"You have to kiss him." Meiling grinned… HARD
Sakura and Eichi burst into laughter. Syaoran smirked, while Mitsuki quietly looked at Eriol with sympathy.
"WHAAAAAAAAAT!" shrieked Keisuke "K-kiss HIM!" He said while pointing at Eriol, who looked as if he's ready to throw up but nevertheless tried to keep a straight face.
"It doesn't specify where though," said Meiling, snickering.
"This I gotta see!" exclaimed Tomoyo, who focused her videocam on her friends.
Syaoran then noticed writing at the BACK of the paper…
"Hey, there's something written on the back."
Meiling flipped the paper.
"Wait, it DOES specify!" she said with glee. "You have to kiss his neck!"
"It could be worse, Keisuke! You could be kissing his butt!" said Eichi, howling in laughter upon seeing the look on Keisuke's face.
A vein throbbed in Eriol's forehead.
"…Just get it over with." said Eriol, tilting his head to reveal a rather pale looking neck.
Keisuke gulped, cursing the yellow orb. He walked over to Eriol, and shuddered at the thought of kissing the Hiiragizawa, or any other male for that matter.
'At least I'm not kissing his butt, I should be thankful still.' Keisuke consoled himself
"Well?" said a triumphant-looking Meiling.
It was all over in a few seconds. Keisuke quickly kissed Eriol's neck, much to everyone's amusement. They all roared in laughter!
"I never wanna go through that again!" said Keisuke wiping his lips. Eriol merely shrugged but shivered at the feeling.
Meiling handed Keisuke the Truth or Dare orb.
"Okay!" Keisuke spun the bottle.
Spin
Spin
Spin…
STOP!
"Eichi!"
"Dare!" said Eichi brimming with confidence
The orb hummed for about six seconds.
Two pieces of paper came out. Keisuke read the first one.
"So you have a choice…" said Keisuke.
"…Either you" Keisuke suddenly burst into laughter.
"Oi, Keisuke, what's so funny?" said Syaoran.
"Oh give me that!" said Sakura. She read the paper. "Okay, it says here, you have to-"
Now Sakura was the one laughing uncontrollably.
"WHAT?" said Mitsuki
Eriol (who was beside Keisuke) picked up the paper, which Sakura had dropped.
He chuckled.
"Well?" said Eichi, very annoyed indeed
"You either dress up in a miniskirt instead of the pants you're wearing until the game ends…" explained Eriol "A MINISKIRT, mind you! And someone has to take a picture of it."
Everybody's eyes widened before they burst out laughing.
"…" Eichi was shocked, but he managed to find his voice. "What's the other one?"
Meiling grabbed the 2nd paper on the floor and laughed! Keisuke and Sakura stopped laughing momentarily to see what the second paper indicates, and snickered. Meiling handed the paper to Eriol (A/N: For a good reason… HINT!)
"Or, you have to kiss the person in front of you which is…" Eriol trailed off to check whom the unlucky person is. "…me…" he frowned as he saw Eichi directly in front of him
Everyone in the room laughed except, of course Eriol and Eichi. Tomoyo couldn't record very well, because she is shaking in laughter.
"What did I do to deserve this! It's not fair!" said Eriol, cursing the author. (A/N: Hahaha!)
"…I'll wear the skirt…" Eichi spoke up suddenly
Everyone looked at him as if he were some sort of alien.
All the girls grinned.
"Sakura, get the biggest sized miniskirt you can find." commanded Meiling. "Tomoyo, find a camera. Syaoran and Keisuke, make sure Ei-kun won't escape just in case he decides he can't do it."
"Tomoyo-chan, I think I have a Polaroid camera on the drawer at my room," said Sakura "Come with me and we'll go get it with the skirt."
While the girls scurried around, Syaoran and Eriol pictured Eichi in a miniskirt and laughed as hard as ever.
"I can't wait to see what happens!" said Mitsuki.
"I can't wait to see the skirt! It will be so great Ei-kun!" said Meiling, snickering.
As if in cue, Sakura and Tomoyo arrived with a camera and the skirt. It was pink, with some frilly lace.
"…Someone, please kill me now…" Eichi pleaded as Meiling and Sakura pushed him into the bathroom in the side.
"I can't believe that I'm actually doing this…" muttered Eichi, inside the bathroom
"Eichi!" said Tomoyo. "Hurry up! I want to start recording!"
Keisuke poked his inside the bathroom, which Eichi forgot to lock and saw him looking at the mirror with a frown.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You look like a picture of the tooth fairy in one of my old picture books!" laughed Keisuke.
"…"
"Look buddy, you'd better come OUT HERE, or we'll assume you're too chicken to do the dare," said Syaoran with an evil grin on his face. "Then we send Eriol IN THERE whether or not you're wearing that… that… pink monstrosity. And you know the alternative dare, don't you?"
"I'm not coming out! And you can't make me!" shouted Eichi.
"Mind you, Tomoyo just MIGHT take pictures of you and Eriol kissing with you wearing the miniskirt on and distribute copies of it to the student body. Imagine their shock if they find out that their beloved president is-"
Eichi quickly stepped out of the bathroom, his face pinker than the miniskirt.
Syaoran patted himself on the back and Sakura gave him a thumbs-up! Sometimes he could be so sadist!
Everyone laughed when they saw "Eichi the Tooth Fairy". Well except Tomoyo, who snapped away with the Polaroid camera, which was the kind that would dispense the picture immediately.
"Now dear Eichi, twirl around so I can get your good side" snickered Mitsuki, who was recording in place of Tomoyo.
"That isn't part of the dare."
"Oh, yes it is because we want it to be! Or would you rather I take pictures of you and Eriol smooching?"
"HEY!" said Eriol. He pointed to the author, shouting "Haven't I had enough abuse for one story!"
(A/N: "Behave yourself or I'll MAKE you kiss Keisuke again!")
Eriol whimpered, and shut up. While, Eichi twirled around slowly and reluctantly.
"How embarrassing..." said Sakura
"…Someone, please kill me now…" said Eichi.
Eventually, the group returned to truth or dare. Eichi has to wear the skirt until the game is over. He then spun the bottle, hoping for revenge.
Spin
Spin
Spin…
STOP!
"Tomoyo!"
"Tomoyo." said Eichi. "Truth or dare."
"…Uh, Oh…" muttered Tomoyo, as she quickly thought on what to choose.
"Dare!" she said eventually. She thought that the truth question might have been whom her true love was, and she wasn't going to admit it… yet.
The infamous orb hummed once more, and dispensed the dare.
"Sakura-chan, do you have a clean handkerchief big enough to serve as a blindfold?" asked Eichi smirking
"Yeah. Wait a sec!" Sakura ran to her room and opened one of the drawers of her dresser in the room, and produced a large black cloth and ran back to the media room.
"I'm back!" she announced
"Can you put it on Tomoyo?" asked Eichi
"Sure."
Sakura walked over to the nervous girl and secured the blindfold on her.
"This is gonna be great!" said Eichi. He walked over to her and led her to the center of the room. "Everyone, please rearrange yourselves and move closer to the walls… And don't talk!" As he said this, he himself retreated to a corner of the room. This time Keisuke is recording.
"Now what? What exactly am I supposed to do?" said Tomoyo, hands on her hips
"Spin around until you feel slightly dizzy." said Eichi, reading off the paper.
Tomoyo spun around a few times.
"Now walk over to any person in the room."
Tomoyo, now feeling extremely nervous, walked with a slight wobble coz of her dizziness over to someone.
"Don't take off that blindfold." instructed Eichi.
Everyone looked at Tomoyo and the person in front or her.
"Now grab that person's shoulders."
Tomoyo felt strong shoulders, which were slightly higher than her own. Whoever it was in front of her was breathing steadily. She could immediately tell that the person wasn't Meiling or Mitsuki because both girls were wearing spaghetti straps; it wasn't Keisuke, since his shirt was made of cotton fabric and this one was not; it wasn't Eichi, since she was sure this one's wearing pants NOT a skirt. It couldn't be Sakura as well, since she was wearing sweats.
"Do you have an idea of where the face is?" said Eichi.
"I think so," said Tomoyo. This was getting VERY suspicious. She seemed to have an idea of what she was going to have to do next
"Well, you have to kiss the person in front of you…" said Eichi, excitement building up.
"…On the lips…" He continued
Tomoyo blushed HARD. She gulped. She felt quite uneasy; even though she was sure of several people she wouldn't have to kiss.
She leaned forward, feeling soft flesh on her lips "It's weird… I don't feel disgusted or anything…" she thought.
She felt the person kissing back ever so slightly, with not quite enough body movement to physically show it.
The three girls were holding their breaths, holding back a squeal… Tomoyo's first kiss!
Tomoyo ended the kiss as fast as she'd initiated it.
"How romantic!" Meiling exclaimed, unable to stop herself any longer
Mitsuki and Sakura squealed. Eichi smirked!
"And I got it all on video!" announced Keisuke proudly
Tomoyo, still in her blindfold wondered whom between Eriol and Syaoran did she kiss.
"You can take off the blindfold now, Tomoyo-san," said Eichi
Tomoyo fumbled with the knot on the blindfold. As soon as she took it off, she looked up to see the person who got her first kiss…
She looked up to see innocent, smiling eyes. (A/N: Now we can rule out Syaoran!)
And that leaves…
"Congratulations, Tomoyo-chan!" said Sakura, smiling.
Tomoyo felt a mixture of happiness and shock.
ERIOL smiled and blushed slightly.
"That was really nice, Tomoyo-san." Eriol smiled wholeheartedly and Tomoyo smiled back
(A/N: Well, Eriol do you still think I'm abusing you? Haha!)
Eichi handed Tomoyo the Truth or Dare orb.
Tomoyo spun the bottle.
Spin
Spin
Spin…
STOP!
All eyes turned to Syaoran
"Li-kun! Truth or dare?" asked Tomoyo
"Umm…"
Well, that ends Chapter 3… Sorry for the cliffy! I feel so evil today! Do you want to know what Syaoran's truth question or dare is? You have to review! I want 20 reviews before I'll update Chapter 4. That's not too much to ask for is it?
Luv yah all!
