Hey y'all! I'm finally back! But I suppose I wouldn't be welcomed back with open arms because I kept you waiting for months! Especially since I promised a really early update! I am so ashamed, and I'm very sorry. You see, I was so devastated with my other story gone and I just couldn't write… I hope my past readers and reviewers would still read and support my story, I really love 'Till You Turn To Me' and I regret abandoning it and leaving you guys hanging. It actually touched me that I had private messages telling me that they will wait patiently for my update and I appreciated those words of encouragement. What amazed me was that even though I haven't updated in a long time that my story can be probably found on page 500+ or so, I still had new readers and new reviews. Thank you so much! And I promise that I won't let you down anymore. Please continue to support me, this story and my future stories as well. Also check out my profile for I have so many new plots ready and I want your opinion on which plot I should develop into a story. Please tell me soon in your reviews or private messages, because I'm pretty confident in those new plots and I'm willing to start writing pretty soon! I've bored you with my ramblings long enough so on with the story!

TILL YOU TURN TO MEChapter 4
"Unraveled Secrets"
Spin
Spin
Spin…
STOP!
All eyes turned to Syaoran
"Li-kun! Truth or dare?" asked Tomoyo
"Umm…"
'If I choose dare, I might do something I'll regret for the rest of my stupid life… so I guess in choosing Truth I won't embarrass myself that much.' (A/N: That's what you think!)
"Truth!" Syaoran said confidently with his trademark smirk.
The yellow orb dispensed the question in a second.
Tomoyo's eyes widened as she read the piece of paper. She handed it to Mitsuki who is beside her feeling extremely happy with the upturn of events, who handed it to Eichi beside her while grinning, who handed it to Meiling beside him with a wide smile plastered on his face, who skipped over Syaoran (coz it's his truth question) and gave the paper to Eriol with an evil smirk for her cousin, who handed the paper to Keisuke beside him while giving Syaoran a mysterious yet edgy smile, who ALMOST handed the paper to Sakura beside him but withdrawn and laughed instead.
Confused? Me too… Haha!
"Hey!" started Sakura "How come I didn't receive the paper?"
"Trust me dear, it's for your own good!" said Tomoyo sweetly
"What does my truth question have to do with her?" demanded Syaoran "And what's with all of your faces?"
"You'll see!" said Keisuke evilly while giving the paper back to Tomoyo
"Okay… So the question is…" started Tomoyo
Syaoran and Sakura's ears perked up
"…Who among the girls in this room have you flirted with the most?" continued Tomoyo
Everybody in the room tensed as they all looked at Syaoran expectantly who looked as if he just wants to be devoured by the ground below him. Meanwhile Sakura's eyes widened!
'Shit! I thought Truth would be so easy! Yesterday I was thinking about flirting and now they ask me a truth question about it? Just my day huh? '
"I'll choose dare instead," he tried
"Oh no you don't mister! You chose truth so you have to answer this question!" urged Meiling
"I'm afraid there's no getting out of this one Syaoran," added Eriol
"Yeah, you're a man aren't ya? You should keep your words," chimed Keisuke
"If you can't risk telling us the Truth, you should have chosen dare instead!" accused Mitsuki
"So answer the question already, we haven't got all day you know!" chided Eichi
"Hurry up! I want to videotape!" shouted Tomoyo
Everybody talked to persuade Syaoran except for Sakura, so they all stared at her and waited for her to add something.
"Uhhh, yeah…" said Sakura lamely
They sweatdropped
"I guess that would do…" said Meiling
"The Kami must hate me…" Syaoran muttered loud enough for everybody to hear and they all laughed!
'Damn!' thought Syaoran 'I can't really say it's Meiling because she's my cousin for crying out loud and it's so wrong! It can't be Tomoyo, simply because I haven't flirted with her in any way nor will I ever do so. I can't say its Mitsuki either, Keisuke will throw a fit!'
He scanned the room trying to think of countless possibilities where he wouldn't be too embarrassed while somehow stating the truth. His gaze reverted away from Meiling and Mitsuki 'Definitely not them!' and decided against Tomoyo too, leaving only…
"…Sakura" he muttered so quietly they almost didn't hear
Well, he has no other alternative. Sakura's the best choice, besides he somewhat flirted with her the other day. It's somehow the truth so what the hell?
"Can you say it again? We didn't quite catch that," Eriol smiled. The truth is he heard, everybody did, but they just want him to say it again.
'Damn Eriol! I'll get you for this' Syaoran thought, planning for Eriol's demise
"The Kami must REALLY hate me…" he muttered again
"…Sakura" he said again, this time a little louder
All girls smiled slowly so wide that Syaoran was surprised that their faces didn't break, while the guys nudged each other with their know-it-all smirks. One girl is blushing madly while suddenly finding the floor interesting keeping her gaze there
It was a minute of silence… Until…
"KAWAII!" The girls exclaimed
"And the best part is, I got it all on tape!" announced Tomoyo proudly "I'll call this one True Feelings Revealed!"
"H-hoe, Tomoyo-chan!" said Sakura blushing more than ever, eyes still fixed on the floor.
'He picked me? Among us girls here, he admitted that he flirted with me the most? Hoeee! Now I really don't know how to act around him! Stupid idiot Syaoran!'
"My, my Syaoran! I always thought you liked Sakura-san" said Eriol
Twitch…
"Why don't you admit that you have a crush on her?" asked Eichi winking at Syaoran
Twitch…
"I knew something was up when you told us you let her stay in your house for the night! I knew you did something perverted to her and-" Keisuke was cut off when…
"OUCH!"
Yes, you guessed it! Syaoran punched him… again!
"Stupid Keisuke, with his stupid perverted thoughts!" he muttered
"You deserved it, Keisuke!" said Mitsuki
"Damn right!" added Meiling
"Go on, gang up on me. That's what you guys do all the time!" whined Keisuke but everybody ignored him. Sakura finally looked up and found Syaoran's intense amber eyes staring intently at her. Syaoran, knowing he's already caught shifted his gaze somewhere else the same moment Sakura shifted hers both of them blushing.
Eriol and Tomoyo, aware of this little scene before them glanced at each other and shared a smile reserved for occasions like this.
"Here Li-kun," Tomoyo handed Syaoran the orb and bottle, everybody completely ignoring Keisuke's bickering "Your turn to spin"
So he did so…
Spin
Spin
"Shut up Keisuke, he already spun the bottle!" shouted Meiling to shut Keisuke up.
Spin…
STOP!
"Hiiragizawa Eriol…"
Syaoran paused to look up the ceiling and mouthed a 'thank you' to the heavens… Oh, revenge will be too sweet!
"…Truth or Dare?" smirked Syaoran evilly… waaay evilly!
"Hmm, I choose Truth," declared Eriol
Without a second to waste, the ball dispensed a paper containing Eriol's fate
"The question…" Syaoran paused for effect "Who is the person you love the most?"
Everybody occupying the media room tensed again, Tomoyo stopped functioning and gaped so Mitsuki whipped her videocam and tried to focus on Eriol's expression determined to catch the confession on tape.
'So tell us, who's the lucky girl to capture your heart?' thought the amethyst-eyed girl
Sakura gave Tomoyo a reassuring glance as if saying everything will be fine. Keisuke was breathing so loud that Eichi nudged him in the ribs (A/N: Hehe, I just had to ruin the moment!) Meiling looked at Eriol's expression and immediately knew that though he tries to keep a cool demeanor, he's actually peeing in his pants right now.
Syaoran thanked the heavens again for the fabulous question the orb dispensed. It was a sweet revenge all right.
Eriol closed his eyes; thought about Syaoran's remark earlier about Kami hating him then opened his eyes and pointed an accusing finger towards the author then said to Syaoran "At least it's the Kami who hates you. Me? This author hates me!" (A/N: Dear sweet Eriol, I don't hate you! How can you think that? Just tell them the truth and something good will follow)
"The person I love the most…" started Eriol while everybody held their breaths "…is here in this room."
Finally, everybody let their breaths out except Keisuke who is turning purple by the minute. Meiling slapped him on the back and said "Breathe, you idiot!"
Tomoyo felt hopeful but still scared. Sakura and Mitsuki knew otherwise, it couldn't be them so it has to be Tomoyo!
'Ooh, looks like there's gonna be a confession!' Syaoran smirked
Eriol continued, gazed fixed on the floor "I've known her for quite some time now, and through all the times I spent with her I realized we have lots of things in common. She's always there by my side, and never will leave me. The next thing I knew I'm falling in love. An emotion I thought I would never feel, but because of her…"
"Whoah that's cheesy!" blurted out Keisuke unable to stop himself
He took a deep breath "Tomoyo-san, I discovered that I love you… really love you. And that I don't want to go through the rest of my life without you. I meant to tell you, not this way though in front of our friends. But I want to clear that I'm not expecting anything back from you. You don't have to be pressured or anything, just let me love you in my own way…"
Tomoyo couldn't believe what she heard. The word 'LOVE' kept echoing into her ears. Then it hit her…
Eriol loves her? The guy she admired from a distance looked up to him and always thanked the heavens for letting her be a part of his life.
Eriol loves her! She felt so happy she thought she's going to burst into tears, she never would have imagined even in her wildest dreams.
Eriol loves her! He returned her feelings though he doesn't know of them yet. She was contented before in simply knowing that he cares for her deeply as a friend.
Eriol loves her! She felt so glad to know that he too felt the connection between them. Their glances at each other told everything words couldn't express. She thought that was just because they understood each other well and have the same thoughts, but she never thought of that as something that would result to something special.
Eriol loves her! He's so composed, cool and handsome. The more she thought about it, the more her heart wanted to swell with happiness. She is so blessed in having a guy like him love her. She would never ever forget this day! This moment would remain in her heart forever.
ERIOL LOVES HER! She, the girl she thought would never be fit for a guy like him. She, an ordinary girl who she thought would never catch his attention… 'HIS ATTENTION! OH MY FREAKING LORD, HE'S STARING AT ME! AS A MATTER OF FACT, EVERYONE'S LOOKING AT ME! WHAT DO THEY EXPECT ME TO DO? HUH? SAY SOMETHING? OH NO, NO, NO, I CAN'T POSSIBLY DO THAT! NOT WHILE I'M THIS FLUSTERED AND TONGUETIED! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? I WANT TO TELL HIM HOW I FEEL. OH MY GOD! WHAT IF HE THINKS I'M NOT INTERESTED? I COULDN'T LET THAT HAPPEN! SAY ANYTHING TOMOYO, DAMN IT!'
Everyone watched Tomoyo with confusion. They all noticed the swift changes in her expressions every second. They never thought that it could be possible and they were getting worried, it's like she's fighting a battle inside her mind. Eriol was especially stunned. He always thought about his confession to Tomoyo lots of times, and often in his daydreams, it would always end in Tomoyo leaping in his arms for a warm embrace, crying and telling him that she loves him too or sometimes there would be no words uttered but all it would take is a deep kiss that would tell him her feelings for him. But now…
Everyone's too shocked to do anything. Come to think of it, today was too eventful for a person to handle. But this day must have been too tough for Tomoyo because the next thing they know…
…Tomoyo Daidouji fainted!
Yeah, I know it's nothing compared to Chapter 3 which is very long and hilarious as some of your reviews told me (Thanks for that!) But I wanted to make keep it simple first. Chapter 5 will be the conclusion of their awesome sleepover celebration at Sakura's house. I had it written out already and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it! I promise you that you'll laugh and be all 'hanyaan' at the same time. I'll post it as soon as possible, that I could assure you. But first, I would like to ask for at least 7 reviews. I want to know if you would still remember this story and me even though it was months I last updated. I'd be really happy if you'll welcome me back with open arms! Please review
I heart you all!
