0---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0

After the breakfast, all of them went their own ways. Syaoran decided to explore the mansion. Eriol and Ryu

went to the arcade room to play some games. Tomoyo will have to finish somethings. Meiling and

Sakura on the other hand, decided to play bowling. Tomoyo told one of her maids to show her two friends to

the bowling arena.

"Okay Reina will accompany you okay? She will be here in a minute.

I will just have to finish some things and I'll follow up to you there okay?"

Sakura and Meiling hugged Tomoyo. "Okay we'll see you later Tomoyo-chan!" said Sakura.

Tomoyo waved goodbye to them and run upstairs to her room.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meiling looked at Sakura. "Tomoyo sure is busy...and the stupidest part of it is she's just 16!"

Sakura nodded approvingly at Meiling. "Yup, It's too bad at a very young age she already has a job.

Though I'm happy for her. I mean she liked this...she really wants to be in the fashion bussiness

since we were young."

"I'm glad that eventhough she's so busy, she gave us a chance to spend time with her."

Sakura smiled. Then she noticed a woman approaching them. She was about the age of Touya. She approached

them and smiled. "I'm Reina, pleased to meet you. You must be miss Sakura and miss Meiling. Please follow me."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura and Meiling followed her. They now reached the basement. Reina turn around to faced them.

"Were here." she declared.

The two girls looked at each other with a confused expression on there faces.

Sakura turned to Reina. "Where's what?"

Reina smiled. "Please step back a bit."

The two do as Reina said. She then reach up to her pocket. It was like some kind of a remote. She press a certain button then the ground begins to shake.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura and Meiling hugged each other. "Wha-t's h-appe-ning?"

The two girls, frightned, closed their eyes. But when they open their eyes, They saw a huge bowling arena. It's like one of those in the mall.

There's a snack bar, arcade zone, and of course the bowling area.

Sakura ang Meiling squeled. "YAHOOO LET'S PLAY!"

Then the two girls ran to changed their shoes and began playing.

------------------------------------Somewhere inside the mansion-----------------------------------

Syaoran wandered through the halls of the mansion. He looked at the paintings that are attached to the walls.

He yawned. "Oh man this place is boring. How can the Daidouji's appreciate these garbages."

He then stopped and walk towards a certain painting. He looked at the painting with a disgust look on his face.

"Oh come on what the hell is this? A red hippo?"

The painting is indeed very strange and weird. A red hippo stands at a top of a snowy mountain. His left arm up while holding a white tree branch.

The red Hippo is looking towards the sky and you can see that it has a smile on its face. "Great, the first ever hippo at the top of the mt. Everest.

Syaoran then walked to the next painting and sweetdropped. "Oh come on, do they really like this animal?"

The next one is another painting of a hippo. But this time the hippo is colored blue. The blue hippo has wings of an eagle. It also holds a sword on its right hand. The blue hippo looks dreamy.

Syaoran felt chills all around his body. He then moves to the other one and...

He fell down anime style. He then helped himslef up and walks towards the painting.

"ANOTHER HIPPOPOTAMUS! WHAT DA HECK?!" he shouted and it echoed through the hall.

This time, the painting shows a Yellow hippo carrying an armalite. The hippo also wears an army hat and has an angry looked on his face.

"Well, I bet the next one is colored rainbow." he said sarcastically.

He sighed and moved to the next one. This time he was startled. Not because the next painting is horrible or scary...but because

the next painting showed a golden hippo staring at him. It wears a long rainbow-colored cape. Its arms crossed infront of his chest.

(A/N: You know the painting is like that of some pictures...you know kinda looks like it was looking at you...ok?)

The golden hippo showed a serious expression on its face.

Syaoran gulped and took a step forward. He then closed his eyes and cleard his mind. He then shot his eyes open sending the

golden hippo a death glare.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A/N: Okay Syaoran throws the painting death glares co'z u know...the painting looks like it was glaring at you...but it's not co'z

it's just a painting...ok?)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syaoran continued shooting death glares to the painting. It was like he was having a "death glare competition". Syaoran is not blinking at all.

But all of a sudden, the golden hippo blinked. Syaoran smiled and throw his arms upward.

"Ah-Uh! Got ya you stupid painting you blinked I win and...and...wait a minute." Syaoran's jaw dropped and looked at the painting again.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" He runs behind a huge vase trying to hide from the painting.

"Tha-tha-that thing alive!" He whispered to himslef while biting his fingernails.

---------------------------------------Bowling Arena-------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura and Meiling are joined by Tomoyo after 30-minutes. They played for over an hour and got tired.

"Oh goodness! That bowling ball is so heavy!" Meiling said as she drinks her juice.

Tomoyo and Meiling are talked to each other while Sakura remained silent.

'Hmmmm I wonder where is Syaoran-kun...it should be fun playing with him.' She smiled to herslef.

Tomoyo then turned to Sakura. "Hey Sakura-chan why are you so quiet? Are you that tired? Do you want to rest to your bed now?"

Sakura looked up to Tomoyo. "Huh? What? No! Of course not! It's just..."

Meiling cut her off. "Are you thinking of my cousin?"

"What? No! I'm just curious where he is now and.."

"Ah-ha! YOU ARE thinking Syaoran!" said Meiling as she stands up pointing a finger to Sakura.

Tomoyo giggled and look at Sakura. "If you wondering where he is...I guess he's exploring the mansion."

Sakura just nod.

"Oh Sakura-chan will you find him? Please tell him that it's almost lunch and we have to be in the dining room in an hour. Okaa-san is

coming...she wants to meet all of my friends!"

Sakura nodded and just walk away. 'Wait! What Am I doing? Did I just agree?' she thought.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------000----

While she walked through the mansion halls she was in deep of her thought.

'What happened. After I heard that Tomoyo's coming home, Ive been very...well nice to him. I'm confused! Well and he was acting

the same with me! I mean HELLO! We just hate each other since were in junior high! Maybe it's because when we where very good friends

back then. And when Tomoyo came back...well it's like the old times. We were very nice to each other and...huh?' Sakura was distracted when she saw

a figure behind the giant vase.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------000-----

Sakura stepped closer. She then smiled when she realized who the person was. "Syaoran!"

Syaoran got startled. He runs toward Sakura and placed a finger to Sakura's lips. "Sshhhh! Sakura come here."

Syaoran grabbed Sakura's hand and they hid behind the giant vase. Sakura turned crimson red.

"What is it Syaoran-kun?"

Syaoran looked at Sakura. He's signalling Sakura to looked at the golden hippo's painting. Sakura did so and laughed.

She then walks towards the painting. "HAHAHA these painting is pretty funny!"

Syaoran then quickly ran towards her. "What! Sakura that thing is alive! I saw it blinked!"

Syaoran was about to pull Sakura but she held his arms tight. "No! Syaoran...that thing isn't alive."

"What do you mean?"

Sakura walked towards the painting holding Syaoran's hand. "Looked...It will blink right about..now!"

Then the golden hippo's eyes blinked.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" Syaoran yelled.

Sakura giggled. "Syaoran-kun calm down. That painting isn't alive. As you look at it very closely you can see that the hippo's eyes

aren't real."

"What do you mean aren't real? THEY ARE NOT REAL!"

"No no no! I mean If you look at it very closely you can see that its eyes are not painted..it has lens."

Syaoran walked closer and nodded. "Yeah...wait a minute...is that a surveilance camera?"

Sakura giggled. "Yah. Tomoyo told me about that when I first got here. And like you I was afraid."

Sakura continued explaining. "The reason why its...well blinking is because every 2 minutes, the camera switches it's angle."

"Ahhh! SO you mean as it closes it's lens...it will change it's angle."

Sakura nodded. "Yes. For example. If the current camera faces left, after 2 min it will "blink" and it'll switched to right."

Syaoran then sighed in relief.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two of them starts walking through the hall to the dining room.

There was a silence. Neither of them didn't know what to say.

Sakura took a deep breath. "Uhmmm Syaoran-kun."

Syaoran looked at Sakura. "Yeah?"

Sakura lowered her head. "Uhmm about that incident when...uhmm well you know...when I hit you with a..."

Sakura was cut off when she realized that he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry about it...I'm glad were friends again."

Sakura looked up and smiled. "Me too!" She then hugged Syaoran.

Syaoran was startled and his face began to glow red. Sakura realizing what she had done started to pull away but Syaoran hugged him back.

Now it's Sakura's turn to blush. Syaoran placed his chin above Sakura's head. "I'm glad were friends again. I really really miss you."

Sakura giggled. "Well your pretty good hiding that fact." She said still linked to his arms.

The both of them started to pull away. Syaoran never felt so happy in his entire life. He then noticed Sakura with her head low.

He cannot see her face so he has no idea what Sakura's reaction is. "Sakura?"

Sakura suddenly looked up to him and quickly gave him a quick kiss on the lips. She suddenly starts running leaving Syaoran on the hallway

dumbfounded.

He then heard Sakura called out. "SYAORAN-KUN COME ON! AUNTIE IS HERE!"

Syaoran shook his head and ran towards her. 'What was that...' He thought to himself.

Things will be totally different from now on...
