Review Corner:

teenureen ; Aeriichan : I really apologize for the length, but somehow I tend to write short. Gomen ne~

smile4meeh : It's a little extra for everyone to look forward to. I'm glad you like the idea.

Moonlight919 : I wonder ne ~ Monopoly could be anyone. I'm happy to know my interpretation of Syao-kun is going through. I really wanted to relay his 'cool'-ness. And yeah Tomoyo. I always see her as a magical seer somehow. Like Tsubasa like :D.

Pianohands : Hope you stay interested! But I'm trying to build up the plot slowly but surely, hopefully everything fits together at the end.

: Soon! Sakura's not as seer-ish like Tomoyo, but she's definitely better when it comes to love compared to Tomoyo. She'll see through him, it'll just take much more effort and time~

The Summer in August ; xXFireRoseXx : That'll be the next chapter! This chapter just gives you first impressions ~

FFX2player : Yes. They're my point of dry humor at the moment.

mitsuko310 : Thank you. Please don't hesitate to ask more questions. And yes, Monopoly is a big part of the story, so whoever it is definitely is important. But yes, you'll have to wait ~

Dear Monopoly,

Another chapter of my life will start. Wish me luck.

Blossom.

Sakura Kinomoto sent the ever so short message to her pen-pal before she officially turned the phone off. She took a deep breath as she watched the bride's maids doing final touch ups on their makeup and hair. Chiharu, Rika and Naoko was being prepped up by the one and only Nakuru Akizuki, Eriol's older cousin and one of Japan's ever stunning supermodels. Being trained to not only be fashionable, Nakuru easily honed enough skills to be a professional stylist from her environment at work.

"Okay, a little dab of this," Nakuru dabbed some shimmery looking make up in Rika's face, "And you're done!"

The girls grinned at each other as they looked at their final looks. With Nakuru's magic, they were transformed to fairy looking princess like characters. Chiharu, Rika and Naoko had flowing white dresses with a slight touch of a soft pastel like blue to match Tomoyo's dress. The dresses were specially made by Tomoyo herself, with intricate layers of silk and lace and fancy embroideries. Sakura, as the maid of honor wore a dress with the same composition like the others, but a shorter much carefree and fresh feel.

"I feel like a kid again," Chiharu giggled.

"Yeah," Rika commented, as she patted her stomach that is already taking a form, "I wish he or she could see mommy as beautiful as now."

"You girls worry too much," Nakuru shook her head, "If I'm a couple of years older than you and I'm still considered beautiful, you guys are gorgeous."

"Okay, I'm ready," A soft breathless voice came from behind them. All of them turned to where the voice resonated as their eyes were fixed at Tomoyo Daidouji in her beautiful wedding gown. Unlike the rehearsals, now she was pampered with the right amount of makeup and her hair pulled up in a beautiful stylish bun that was accessorized with an oversized flower hairpiece.

"How do I look?"

They we're silent, knowing that the tears are threatening to fall. Sakura with all her will power held Tomoyo's gloved hand and walked her in the room till she faced the mirrored wall. Then one by one, they followed as they stared at their beautiful portrait in the glass reflection.

"It's been years, we've gone through so many changes and so many things together." Tomoyo said, in a whispered tone, "Thank you guys."

"You're welcome," The girls chorused. Though their eyes wanted to just give up from holding the surge of emotions, they laughed in unison instead. Besides, they have a wedding to go to.

The wedding was carefully timed to start so they could catch the marvelous sunset that didn't fail to take the breaths of the wedding party every time they rehearsed in the famous glass house. The guests were already in their places, Eriol Hiiragizawa patiently waiting in the altar with his groomsmen. Syaoran Li stood up, watching his friend fidget in anxiousness. As always, a smirk played in his lips as he stood up and decided to speak with him while waiting for bride and her party to arrive.

"I still can't believe you're getting married," Syaoran slightly adjusted his tie.

"Me either," Eriol replied quite casually, though his body language screamed the opposite, "But It's worth all the waiting, I love her."

"How cheesy."

"I guess you still have that anti-marriage mindset of yours," Eriol carefully examined his friend, "Why not stick with one woman who'll love you for who you are?"

Syaoran snickered, "You kidding me? A man like me doesn't deserve such a thing. I'll forever be an object of desires and dreams, nothing more and nothing less. I guess I'm a person who'll never be stuck just one woman. I can't stand it. I like my lifestyle."

"Are you opposed to this marriage?"

"Of course not," Syaoran grinned sourly, "You think too little of me. Get married all you want, but it's not going to work for me. Heck, I'll be divorced the very next day because of cheating."

Silence drifted between then.

"But Daidouji seems like a good woman, you're lucky. Take care of her," Syaoran flashed a mischievous smile, "Or I'm stealing her away."

"There's no way that's going to happen, because I will take care of her."

"The bride has arrived!"

Walking down the aisle was quite a nerve wrecking event for Sakura. Being the last of all the bride's maids and being somewhat apart, she could feel the eyes of the people as she walked in the pace that was practiced for days. No matter how nerve wrecking it was, Sakura still managed to paste a smile in her face. It didn't take long till she found her seat, next to a man she didn't know. But rather than focusing on that matter, she watched closely as Tomoyo was being accompanied by her father to the altar.

Little did she know the man next to her watched rather intently.

Syaoran can't help it.

Damn, what's wrong with him? Why is he thinking about women even during a wedding ceremony? He just noticed how deep he sunk in when it comes to womanizing. But still, a wedding? Is he this dirty?

He slapped himself mentally as he let out a sigh. Stupid, it wasn't his fault. She just had to sit next to him somehow. 'She', referred to one of the bride's maids, the last of the bunch. Somehow, ever since she sat next to him, all he can't seem to take his eyes off her. He had to admit, she was stunning. She had the most captivating emerald eyes he seen and beautiful golden wheat colored hair. Her face wasn't heavily veiled with makeup so he could still easily spot her natural features.

He gave himself another mental slap.

Why is he acting like he never saw a beautiful woman before? Besides, women he slept with him had to be beautiful. She's just like one of them. And he really never thought of dirty thoughts, it's just in some special way she captivated him.

Why?

He didn't know.

And he hated it.

Then an idea hit him.

That's it. It's no mistake. Even though it's somewhat out of place, he knew it was the only reason.

She's his new target.

Dear Blossom,

I will. And oddly, I could say the same thing. I found something quite interesting.

Monopoly.
