Heheh btw my next update might be a while cause I've got 7 assignments 2 do in 2 weeks and plus a badminton tournament so tats training added 2 the equation so yeah sowwy but never fear I will continue this story!
Recap:
"Hey guys someone should go and check on 'Moyo-chan." Sakura said emphasizing the someone slyly. Airia catching her drift, backed Sakura up by saying,
"Of course Syao-kun would want 'Kura-Chan to be here so…" she trailed off eyeing her twin.
"He's only going to be another 10 minutes or so, we'll be right behind you." Meiling urged Eriol.
"OK I give up, I'm going" he retreated off towards the door face bright pink.
"Don't try anything either!" Sakura called to his retreating figure.
"Don't worry Sakura-Chan, he hasn't got enough time anyway." Airia scowled teasingly at her idiocy.
Curling up against the corner with the blanket, she made a grab for the knife lying innocently on the kitchen counter.
Feeling the coolness of the stainless steel against the almost translucent skin of her wrist, as she applied pressure on the blade, two drops of scarlet blood ran down its edge and spilled on to her still bare thigh, creating the image of crimson ice.
The door swung open with a bang. Startled, Tomoyo pulled the blanket up further from pure fear and instinct, with that abrupt motion, the blade of the knife caught the main blood vessel in the wrist, ripping it then with an innocent clatter, landed on the marble tiled floor.
"GO AWAY!"
"What are you doing, Tomoyo-Chan!" Eriol half questioned half exclaimed, walking carefully up to her.
"GO AWAY!" she screamed more forcefully, Eriol stunned by the resounding fear and power stopped advancing.
'If I go and get Sakura-Chan she could pick up the knife again or she could lose too much blood, but its no use for me to stand here, kami-sama knows how long they are going to take.' Thoughts raced through his brain at a million miles per hour. Suddenly a scream cast him from his thoughts.
"OH MY GOODNESS! WHAT DID YOU DO!" screamed Sakura as she barged through the door. Shoving Eriol aside with incredible strength, she ran to her best friend's side, after examining the gushing wound at Tomoyo's wrist, she stood abruptly and turned to ask for bandages. A gagging noise told her someone was being strangled. She turned and threw a dirty look to the strangled Eriol and asked the strangler, the victim's sister, for bandages.
After bandaging her wrist, they settle Tomoyo in to her and Sakura's assigned two-bedroom apartment. After grabbing quarter of a dozen chairs, they sat around a lilac painted room, Sakura supporting Tomoyo's head comforting her, as everyone else was seated around the king single.
"Tomoyo-Chan," whispered Airia, "what happened?" she questioned gently. She stood from her chair and made her way to her friend's side. Tomoyo alarmed from the hair colour, thinking it was Eriol or Syaoran, let out a cry of despair and buried herself further in Sakura's shoulder.
Hurt flashed in her cerulean eyes as tension grew with Tomoyo's fear. Sakura reassured Tomoyo softly saying,
"Its ok," she assured, caressing her violate hair, "its just Airia-Chan."
"Never mind." Airia said sighing. A cell phone like vibrating buzz rung through the room, relieving the tension.
"Coming!" shouted Sakura to the door, as she made to stand, a pair of pale freezing cold hands clutched her arm, desperately unable to get free, she gave in to her best friend's frantic pleads.
"I'll get it." Airia said, feeling a hollow pain of rejection. Eriol, Meiling and Syaoran could only watch wearily at their little sister of a figure, as she made her way to the door wearing a chameleon mask of mirth, adaptable and colourful.
From behind the brief barrier of the wall, the 5 in Tomoyo's bedroom heard a short polite exchange of conversation and the click of the door closing. Reentering the room, she bore a plain envelope in a creamy white, wax sealed and stamped with the 5 Olympic rings. On the front the envelope was addressed:
Eriol and Airia Hiiragizawa
Syaoran Li
Sakura Kinomoto
"They couldn't find any of us in the common room or apartments so they delivered it here." She explained opening the seal.
"Dear Mr. and Miss Hiiragizawa, Mr. Li and Miss Kinomoto." She began reading is fluent English.
"We ask of Mr. Li and Miss Kinomoto to perform on the stage of the Closing Ceremony of this Olympic games. Preferably choreographed by Mr. Hiiragizawa. Song choice or music is under care of Miss Hiiragizawa. We apologize for the short notice and hope your performance can be polished by day 8, leaving you 6 days from now, as we plan to put the ceremony together by day 9, thus the performances will be well practiced and polished by the last day of 14."
"But how are they going to have an ice arena set up in the stadium? Surely they aren't going to move to the figure skating arena and back?" questioned Meiling.
"They've answered that too." Airia replied "the performance shall be done of roller skates. This should make no difference seeing as you are well practiced with ice skates."
Sakura's face paled at the mention of roller skates. Syaoran, catching this sign, smirked and challenged:
"Don't tell me Sakura Kinomoto, the famous model of the multimillion clothing label, Blossom, and world ranking holder figure skater can not roller blade."
"Of course I can!" she retorted back hesitantly, slightly unsure.
"Hey guys not finished reading here!" Airia called slightly annoyed, sheepishly, everyone turned his or her attention back to her.
"We were going to ask Miss Daidouji but her condition is not permitting us to do so. There done. So everyone is exiting the stadium and the ice isn't book till tomorrow's women's singles and I could book the afternoon for you guys to practice. Since ice is everybody's preference that's what we'll choreograph by and then we'll transcribe it to roller k?"
With half a dozen confirmation nodes, she turned on the laptop stationed in the opposite corner and started booking sessions for the next 6 days.
"Well then we should get to work, we don't have much time." Syaoran said standing up. Eriol agreed with yet another nod and stood too, they looked expectantly at Sakura. Rolling her eyes, she muttered
"state the obvious." These three words marked the beginning of their rivalry. As Syaoran was about to retort a quiet whimper stopped him in his tracks.
"I'm coming, but I'm not leaving 'Moyo-Chan here on her own again." She said eyes dancing in triumph yet at the same time betraying worry.
"It'll be alright, Meiling-Chan and Airia-Chan will be here." Eriol said, recoiling ever so slightly from the accusing glare Sakura shot his way. Then she sighed and apologized for her irrational behavior towards him.
"I guess I was just worried… sorry." Sakura said bashfully
Eriol of the other hand grinned goofily and waved it off.
"Man you'll never know how much power Tomoyo possesses until you witness it! We spent so long trying to pry her off you, at least until Airia worked her magic and talked it through with her." Syaoran exclaimed with a theatrical sigh.
"I wish I know what happened though." Sakura said in a lament-laced whisper. "I don't know what could have happened to change her so dramatically…"
"Its ok, she'll be fine, I left Airia there to try and open her up a bit, she's good at that," Eriol stated proudly, wrapping a comforting arm around Sakura's fragile shoulders.
Syaoran, who was walking behind them, just snorted at the fact that they were showing weakness.
Ok I think I owe some explanations. Firstly, they don't really know, know each other just like heard of each other since they're in the same 'business'. Tomoyo is world ranked no. 1 for figure skating and has a label of clothing called BLOSSOM, on the spot name sowwy! Crappy name I know, and Sakura is like the model associated with it kinda like the face of it. Um… Syaoran's fairly new of the ice so he's relatively known but establishing a fabulous reputation cause he's so good and so hot lol with the ladies anyway haha. Eriol and Airia are Meiling and Syaoran's managers and choreographers; Airia's not so well known because she's rather new, newer than Syaoran but Eriol's famous so that's why Sakura's like, and I quote: "THE ERIOL HIIRAGIZAWA!" lol yeah I'm not so good of an author…yet… to weave tat into the story ehe…sowwy but I think that clears things up! Yay! Lol plz review thanx 2 everyone who did! I'll try to update as soon as possible but forgive me if I don't really cause I've got 7 assignments and a tournament!
BTW sowwy bout the crappy chapter, I'm adjusting from my sub plot to my main plot!
