Ch.3

The party was in a large ballroom with a marble floor and pillars along the sides. There vast windows to the ceiling, and a shining gold, crystal chandelier in the center of the dance floor. The entrance was on the second floor with two long staircases that went out in a semi-circle and joined together that lead to the main floor, there people were announced and welcomed. The ballroom was filled with the wealthiest, famous and most prestige Japanese people. Though, there were some very wealthy distinguished Chinese that made it into the Japanese society though work and business. They were welcomed like any other due to their substantial amount of money and power regardless of their nationality. Though, there was still prejudice among the Japanese. Many of Sakura's friends were there as well. She, Tomoyo, Rika and Meiling were all in their own small group from the others, gossiping and sharing stories as always though they were all meaningless. Their real talks were when they were in the safety of each other's homes. Yue, Yukito and Yamazaki, Rika's boyfriend, were chatting away just as old friends would, for they all went to grade school together.

"So how has the bookkeeper been?" Sakura questioned with a wink.

"Shhhh Sakura!" Tomoyo exclamined, "keep quiet about that! We'll talk about our usual business at your house after the party."

"I know Tomoyo but all we talk about is useless topic to keep make sure no one figures out secrets out," Sakura complained.

"She has a point. If someone listened to our conversation, we all would be dead. Though, no one would, we are the most powerful people here," Meiling replied with a sign.

It was true, all of them were the most powerful people there. Meiling being heir to Sun & Moon Security systems and Tomoyo being married to the CEO made their dominance unstoppable. Sun & Moon even had their own police force solely for the workers and their families. Yamazaki made a living making Japanese swords and weaponry that made him almost equal to Meiling and Yue. No one would want to mess with either of them if their life depended on it. But in society people were always looking for a scandal or wrongdoing of some sort to keep the gossip wheel going.

"Well except for Miss Sakura," Tomoyo added with a giggle.

"HEY! I am a little crazy everyone in a while!" Sakura replied defensively.

"Really name something," Rika retorted.

"I…..umm…"Sakura pondered for a while. "I drank from the milk jug this morning and cussed out a driver who cut me off!" triumphantly replied.

"Yeah, we need to lock you up in prison," Meiling added sarcastically laughing.

"Have all the jokes you want," Sakura joked, "I am getting another glass of champagne, anyone want anything?"

All of the others nodded that they didn't need anything. Sakura went back over to the bar area to get a refill. She could feel the eyes of bystanders on her back. Though, she was very used to it now, being engaged to a powerful man like Yukito, and also being a true beauty among others. She felt uncomfortable as if she was an organism under a microsope. Where people look and talk about unbeknownst to the organism. Women would talk, be quite cruel and rude to her on a normal occasion, though she didn't care, she had her real friends and that was all that she needed. Though it always made her self-conscious and scared inside her body with all the eyes on her. They try anything to have her be the topic of gossip or scandal. The bartender handed her a new glass and she quickly turned around to dash to the safety of her friends. But she didn't get there, she ran right straight into a tall man. By surprise, the auburn let go of her drink spilling it all over the unknown man.

"Oh my god, I'm-I'm so sorry," Sakura stammered quickly getting a napkin to clean it up. By now this attracted a large group of bystanders to watch what was going on. People were jesting to each other and whispering. Quickly after seeing what happened, Yukito ran to Sakura's side at once.

"It's alright," the man chuckled, "It's nothing that can't be cleaned." He was a handsome man with messy chestnut hair and deep blue eyes.

"Sakura are you okay?" Yukito questioned worriedly.

"Yes I'm fine," Sakura retorted while trying to clean up the mess she made. Glass was shattered on the ground along with some remnants of champagne that didn't hit her or the man on the ground. Waiters and Waitresses quickly examined the area and told Sakura that they will take it from here.

"I really am so sorry," Sakura expressed in a pained way. She was embarrassed in front of all these people. Her friends were already pulling her to leave to avoid any more embarrassment when the man stopped them.

"It's my fault. If I hadn't been so close to you, you wouldn't have hit me, but I couldn't help but admire your beauty," the blue eyed man confessed. Sakura and her friends were so focused of fixing the scene that they hardly realized her wrist and hand were covered in the deep crimson substance. Yukito's face hardened at the comment the brown haired man said, but did nothing.

"You're bleeding too. Please allow me to help you," the man replied putting out his arm for Sakura to take.

"Why thank you and yes I will take you up on your offer," Sakura replied taking his arm. "I don't want you all to be away from the party because of me," she explained to her friends and fiancée.

"No Sakura we don't care if we miss just a little bit of this party," Tomoyo emphasized with Rika and Meiling agreeing.

"I'll go," Yukito replied.

"No, I am quite alright," Sakura insisted taking a napkin and wrapping it around her wrist, "Yukito you need to stay here and you guys as well, it's important for you all to be here. The both of us are a mess and we will both be back soon."

"I don't want you alone with him," Yukito argued.

"I will be fine, and I'll be back soon alright?" she reassured while she left the ballroom.

Sakura and the blue eyed man whose name was Takuma Cross, were all cleaned up and with Sakura's wrist bandaged, they returned to the party. Yukito was already there waiting impatiently.

"Sakura! Are you alright now?" Yukito inquired worried.

"Yes I am fine," Sakura smiled, "don't worry about me and thank you again Takuma."

"The pleasure was all mine," Takuma replied grabbing Sakura's hand to kiss it. Sakura blushed at the embarrassment and quickly pulled her hand back. Takuma winked at her as he left to join the party once again. Yukito put his hand out for Sakura and they were joined once again to the ball.

"What was that?" Yukito questioned quietly.

"What was what?" Sakura replied puzzled.

"The blushing? You know if you are going to throw yourself at someone, don't make it so obvious," he muttered furiously to avoid people noticing what was going on.

"Throw myself? What in the world are you talking about? He was just being polite and I'm engaged to you! The only person I would be throwing myself at is you. I love you," she murmured back defensively.

"It doesn't matter. Just-whatever," Yukito spat.

"No you always do this."

"Do what?"

"When you get angry about something, you just let it go and hold all the anger inside."

"Well we can't really talk about it now without causing a scene."

"Well then this won't cause a scene at all," Sakura argued as she pushed Yukito's arm away from her, storming to her friends. Her friends were confused at what happened as they watched the secret argument take place, but when Sakura came to them she told them at her house after the party. Yukito and Sakura stayed a ways away from each others for the rest of the night.
