Well i'm back with another chapter!!! I hope you guys are enjoying whats been going on so far. So Review please!!!! I would love some feedback on what you guys think even if its bad, I dont mind I can take it. Anyways here its hope u like!!!
After a few weeks Meiling had become part of the whole gang. She and Tomoyo were always designing clothes for their performances and then Sakura would teach her some new moves. Fortunately, since she had some training in martial arts, she could do just about any stunt which was a great addition to the crew. Syaoran on the other didn't join but he would go sometimes to watch them, and then hang out a bit with Eriol and Yamazaki who was another dancer. He didn't talk much or anything but the guys understood him a bit.
"So Syoran, again, why is it that you don't join us?" Yamazaki asked while he ate a sandwich. Syaoran smirked at him; Yamazaki was never one to have good table manners.
"I told you already, man. I'm really not into dancing; it's just not my thing. Besides I have too many things to do."
"Dude you're always here. All you have to do is get on the dance floor, grab one of the girls and they'll do the rest. They make us look good, so even if you can't dance the crowd won't even notice they just look at the girls." Yamazaki insisted.
"And you have amazing martial arts skills that could come in handy for sure, I mean look at Meiling she used it for her advantage. We sure could use another guy with some athletics skills." Eriol told him and then smirked at him. "Not to mention that Sakura wont have to dance alone anymore, you could be her partner she can match all of your spins and flips and all that."
That had definitely caught his attention. Since that day he had seen her dancing for the first time he couldn't help but watch her every move, of course not in a stalkish kind of way. He still kept his distance from her and rarely talked to her, they had exchanged a few word of course they did hang out with the same people and she had been over his house a few times to study with Meiling. But they had never sat down and talked like he did with Eriol and Yamazaki.
Eriol saw Syaoran fighting with his desire to get closer to Sakura. He knew Syaoran liked her very much, but he also knew how stubborn he could be. Sakura had always been a sweet and happy girl and could break just about everyone and become friends with them. That's why Syaoran was scared, because she could break all the walls he had build up. But Eriol also knew how beautiful Sakura was on the outside and knew she had many guys behind her so Syaoran had to do something quick or he would lose his opportunity.
"Come on man. Just try it, once. If you don't like it after that than you can give it up and we won't bother you about it ever again." Eriol brought him out of his thoughts, but he just stared back at him trying to come up with what to say.
"Fine, but just once if I don't like it you guys drop it." He said seriously.
"Whatever you want man!" Yamazaki said excitedly.
"So it's settled then. We start tomorrow after school, so come with your gym clothes or something comfortable, no jeans for now." Eriol told him smirking. 'We have to star somewhere. Now I just have to make sure he stays with it…Tomoyo will definitely be happy about this'
Meanwhile the girls were all sitting around on the floor after teaching Meiling a few moves to a new dance they were making.
"So, Mei, do you like it, the dancing?" Sakura asked her.
"Of course! It's so liberating, I've never felt like this before. I can express myself in so many ways plus I can practice my old moves from martial arts, and not mention there's no one telling me that it's not ladylike or whatever like back home"
"What do you mean telling you that it's not ladylike?" Chiharu said confused.
"Well back home we all have to be kinda perfect about everything we do. No speaking freely, no wearing the clothes you want, NOTHING revealing specially. There's a lot of rules back home we cant be who we want to be, our family is so known throughout China that we have to keep a good image. There's no room for mistakes, so everything we do is monitored, we have bodyguards, stylists. We can't just go out with just anyone. They do a background check on everyone we bring home. ugh it's exhausting you have no idea how lucky you guys are to live here." Meiling explained while rolling her eyes. "I'm like the rebel of the family; I always do the opposite of what they tell me." The girls laughed at this already knowing a bit of how rebellious Meiling could be.
"So how'd you and Syaoran ended up here?" Sakura said leaning back on her arms relaxing a bit.
"Well my father didn't know what else to do with me, so he thought sending me away for some time would do me some good, that it would teach me what the world is like and blah blah blah… of course then I have to go back to get ready for the family business. And Syaoran well, even if we don't seem like it we're really close, I don't have any siblings so he's the closest thing I've got. So we talked to his mom and after a whole lot of begging and some persuasion about his studying and boring stuff she said yes."
Sakura looked over at Syaoran who was with Eriol and Yamazaki. He listened to them and smirked when they started laughing, at this she smiled. She knew that even if he was kind of cold towards everyone and a jerk sometimes, deep down he was good guy. "So Syaoran is really important in his family business like you?" She asked looking at Meiling again.
"No way! Syaoran is way more important than me. He'll be the clan leader when his older."
"Clan leader?" Rika asked confused
"Yeah. He'll have to take care of every business part of the family and whole lot of things. It's too complicated, maybe I'll explain it to you some other day but you'll get really bored trust me." At this all the girls laughed. Everything was a bit complicated with Meiling and Syaoran, that much the understood. And even if they didn't know everything they were happy with how Meiling was and that was enough for them.
"So do you have a boyfriend back home?" Chiharu asked giggling.
"No! Want one, but unfortunately none has been good enough for the family, of course that hasn't stopped me from dating but there's no one right now." She said smirking mischievously.
"And what about Syaoran, does he have a girlfriend or something. What does he usually go for? Come on girl details, I'm dying to know!!" Rika said getting closer to Meiling making her laugh.
"Com on, haven't you seen him? His cold, Syaoran likes his privacy. He says he can't devote himself to anyone right now, he has too much going on for him. And besides every girl that has shown interest is because he's hot or for his money… or both"
At this the girls looked to were the guys were still talking. Tomoyo smiled watching Eriol bonding with Syaoran. He seemed to be opening up to them a bit. But her plan was to make him open up to Sakura. She had seen the way he looked at her at school, when she was dancing, when she was laughing, everything. His eyes just became less guarded. Sure he and Sakura had their little fights once in a while because he was being a jerk but it was like he enjoyed it, it was a way for him to be close to her.
"He'll be fine you'll see. There's bound to be a girl out there that can break those walls and make him feel something." Tomoyo said smiling at Meiling.
"I sure hope so. I think he deserves it, but well see what happens."
The next day Sakura was at her locker grabbing some books when Syaoran came to the one beside her which was his. She looked at him and smiled. "Hey!" Syaoran looked at her and smirked. "Hey." At this Sakura's smile brightened. "So… Eriol told me that he convinced you to try out some dancing" She said trying to keep the conversation going.
"Um…yeah. I guess I'll just give it a try just to take them of my back, I've never danced before so…" He said while looking for some books in his locker.
"I'm sure you can't be that bad." She said giggling making Syaoran look at her and smirked. He didn't exactly smile but she was making some progress with him. "I'll take care of don't worry, and the guys will help you at it their really good. And you can teach them some stuff too, Yamazaki will love that, I can guarantee it!"
"We'll see what happens. I can't promise you anything. But I'll try ok?" he said closing his locker and looking at her. At this she nodded and started walking with him towards their classroom.
After they left Meiling and Tomoyo popped out from behind a column. They had been going to their lockers when they saw Sakura and Syaoran talking. They didn't want to interrupt but they wanted to know what was going on too so the decided to hide.
"They are so into each other." Meiling said walking to her locker.
"So you've noticed too huh?"
"Of course! He has never talked to a girl outside the family, he barely even looks at them. I was starting to think he was gay or something, but then I saw the way he looked at Sakura and that was the end of my suspicions."
"So… are you up for some matchmaking then?" Tomoyo said mischievously.
"Oh you know it!" After that the linked arms and started walking towards their classroom while talking about all the possibilities.
