Blind to a Fault
Chapter 1: Reunion
"HOE~E I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying
umph." Sakura
struggled to get her shirt on while trying to put on her pants
at the same time.
"Hurrying for what?" asked Kero.
"School, what else?" she snapped, "Drat, where
are my socks?"
+ + +
"NoOtou-sanI'mnoteatingbreakfasttodayI'mgoingtobelateittekimasu!"
Sakura yelled as she bladed out the door. "Onii-chan wait
up!"
Fujitaka smiled. Sakura, you'll have to start paying attention
to the days of the week.
"Kaijuu, if you'd get up earlier, you'd not only have time
to eat breakfast, but you'd be able to get to school on time
and
I wouldn't get yelled at every morning" Touya added. And
then you wouldn't be rushing to school when there isn't school.
"I'm not a kaijuu, you
oh hi Yukito-san!" Sakura
gave Yukito one of the half-smiles that had become her trademark
ever since Li-kun went back to Hong Kong 4 years ago.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan, To-ya-chan." Yuki directed all
his attention towards Touya as they walked on. Sakura went to
the high school, so she took a different route from the intersection.
As the sound of their conversation faded, her thoughts turned
to how she had changed over the years
or how she had not
changed over the years. Sakura smiled. She still couldn't be
on time for anything, she was still on the cheerleading squad,
and her math skills were as bad as ever. Now, however, Sakura
had added highlights to her hair, which was now waist length,
and she played the violin, instead of the recorder that was required
in Tomoeda Elementary. Sakura had also begun figure skating
as a hobby.
She wasn't paying much attention to her surroundings, or Sakura
would have noticed that she had bladed PAST the high school.
"Sakura-chan?! Where do you think you're going?" Tomoyo
inquired as she stepped around the school gate, with her ever-trustworthy
camcorder in hand.
"Hoe~e? Oh, my bad
" Sakura gave her a weak grin,
"Gomen, I wasn't paying attention."
"Obviously," snapped Tomoyo, "And it appears
you weren't paying attention yesterday either."
"Hoe~e? What do you mean?"
"Yesterday was Friday, Sakura-chan. We don't have school
today, and the party for our latest football victory isn't until
7 PM! AND we're having a picnic today at King Penguin Park at
noon! It's 7:55 now!"
"Oh
" ***sweatdrops*** "then why are you
here?"
Tomoyo tapped her foot impatiently, "You, Naoko-chan, Chiharu-chan,
and Rika-chan were supposed to be at my house at 7 to try on
the new dresses I made for you!"
"Oh
" ***more sweatdrops*** "umm
"
"Well what are you waiting for? Come on already!"
+ + +
"Tomoyo-chan, I don't know, it's kind of
REVEALING."
Sakura wailed as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was
wearing a dark blue velvety top that had sky blue, petal shaped
gauze sleeves with long black skirt that had a large dark blue
rose design on it, with a slit on the left side up to her thigh,
with every edge done in silver, including the almost non-existing
neckline. "It's WAY too low and
and
Tomoyo-chan!"
Sakura gave her best friend a glare that could have rivaled those
that Syaoran and Touya had given each other. Tomoyo chose to
ignore that and continued to videotape her.
"But it looks SO good on you, Sakura-chan!" argued
Chiharu, "Besides, think of how
mmphmph!"
"Excuse us, Sakura-chan," Naoko smiled, pulling Chiharu
into one of the other rooms with Tomoyo and Rika.
"Hoe~e? Ok
" Sakura turned back to her reflection
in the mirror, trying to tug the neckline up a bit.
+ + +
"CHIHARU, anta baka. You're going to ruin everything!"
Hissed Rika, "Just what do you think you're doing?"
"Demo
I don't think I can keep it away from her any
longer!" Chiharu wailed, "When it's such a big secret,
I just can't! I just HAVE to tell her that Li-k
"
"URUSEI!" snapped Naoko.
"What if she hears you, Chiharu-chan?" added Rika,
"as clueless as Sakura-chan is, she's bound to notice something,
you know."
"Try not to tell, please Chiharu-chan? PLEASE?" pleaded
Tomoyo, "This is really important to all of us that she
doesn't find out yet."
"Yeah. Remember, last time Yamazaki-kun had to intervene
with one of his tall tales, remember?" said Naoko, "Something
about how football originated in China with some fruit or other."
Chiharu turned a light pink color, "SOU KA, ALL RIGHT already.
Mou
this is SO difficult."
~ ~ ~
"We are now landing in Tokyo Airport, please enjoy your
stay and thank you for flying Japanese Airlines." The flight
attendant's voice was all light, bouncy, cheerful, and
fake.
Syaoran sighed. Why did everything have to be so hard?
I thought that coming back to Japan after finishing all his training
and other matters in Hong Kong would be easy, but NO. Tomoyo
had INSISTED that I should come as inconspicuously as possible,
and that I had to come on THIS particular day, and that I HAD
to be at Yuta Something-or-other's house at 7 PM for some party
or other. Not only that, she had Chiharu, Rika, Naoko, Takashi,
and even Wei backing up her idea, whatever it was.
"If it weren't for them, I'd have already been in Japan
for at least two weeks," he muttered to himself as he got
off his plane. He checked his watch. "Tao yen sh le, and
it's still only 8 AM," he growled, and went outside with
his luggage, waiting for Wei to pick him up.
+ + +
12 PM
Sakura, Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko were in King Penguin Park with
the rest of the cheerleading squad, talking about the upcoming
dance, people they knew, boys, and (whenever Sakura was out of
hearing range) Syaoran's return to Japan.
"WAII!" Exclaimed Mika, "This is going to be so
cool!"
Tomoyo put down her camcorder, exasperated. "Look, don't
you remember about you-know-what and how Sakura's not supposed
to know?" She whispered.
Mika giggled. "Of course. That's why I have to act as
much as possible that nothing's going on!" She bubbled happily.
Tomoyo put up her camcorder again, "And I thought I was
over-genki about this Sakura and Syaoran reunion."
"And what's wrong with being over-genki?" Demanded
Mika.
"Nothing, nothing," Tomoyo turned her attention back
to the rest of the cheerleading squad. "Oh I can't wait
to tape the look on Sakura's face when he arrives tonight!"
"But you're positive that he's coming to the party?"
Inquired Meynori. "It is possible that he won't, you know."
"And does he know that you're trying to get him and Sakura
together?" Piped up Megumi, who was Meynori's twin sister.
"If he does, he's not letting on about it," Tomoyo
gave a sigh of resignation.
"Hey," called Sakura, "I'm not about to set up
everything by myself! And you people do want to eat, right?"
"Calm down Sakura-chan. Yukito-chan's not here to eat everything,"
laughed Rika.
"HOE~EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Sakura glared at her.
Everyone laughed.
~ ~ ~
"Hey, everything in here is exactly the way I left it,"
exclaimed Syaoran. "Amazing
"
"Well, no one has used this room since you left. Even before
you first came, that room was just an extra storage room that
had nothing in it." Wei chuckled to himself. "Then
you came, had us move furniture into it, and then you put a dent
in the floor that's still there from one of your sword practices."
Syaoran just glared at his relative. Wei chuckled again.
"Look, you just maybe, possibly, might want to get organized
if you're going to get to the party your friends are having tonight."
"What's so important about this party anyway? Tomoyo-chan
insisted that I should come, and she has just about everyone,
including you, backing up her idea." Syaoran paused, "except
for Sakura-chan. Why's that?"
Wei shrugged, "I wouldn't know. Tomoyo just wanted me to
make sure that you would go."
Syaoran growled through clenched teeth.
+ + +
6: 30 PM
"I really don't know about this, Tomoyo-chan."
Said Sakura nervously. Somehow, Tomoyo had gotten her to wear
the outfit, and now they were going to pick up Naoko and Rika.
Chiharu was going with Takashi. "I really think that this
thing is way too low
and-"
"Relax, Sakura-chan. It looks good on you, and it won't
be out of place. Remember that I made outfits for Rika, Chiharu,
Naoko and even myself." Tomoyo stated. She was wearing
a maroon tank top that had a white dove on it with a really short
black skirt. "And you're going to be wearing it for my
next fashion show anyway. You did promise to."
Sakura sighed, "Yeah, I'll be modeling it, but you do have
others that aren't as revealing, right?"
"Of course!" Tomoyo beamed, "It's another chance
to show the public how cute Sakura-chan is!" And it's
another chance for me to try and get Syaoran to actually notice
how cute you are.
***sweatdrops***"Tomoyo-chan
"
"Hey Tomoyo-chan sorry I was brushing my hair." Naoko
smiled as she got into Tomoyo's limo. She was wearing a red
silk blouse with a black skirt a little past her knees. "Rika-chan
called and said that her mother was sending her."
"Tomoyo-chan!" Exclaimed Sakura, "Why did you
have to put so much emphasis on my outfit?!?!?! Look at hers,
it is SO much better
"
"Sakura-chan! Why are you so ungrateful?!" Exclaimed
Naoko.
"Sakura-chan, it's because Naoko had specifically requested
on how her outfit should turn out. Since you're going to be
modeling for my fashion show next month, I decided to have you
wear this dress for tonight's party!" Tomoyo smiled as she
put up her camcorder, "Smile, Sakura-chan!"
***sweatdrops*** "Tomoyo-chan, you're weird," Sakura
gave a sigh of resignation.
"Quit bickering you two, we're here," Naoko snapped.
As she, Tomoyo, and Sakura stepped out of the limo, Rika rushed
up to them.
"WAIIII!" she exclaimed, "This is amazing! You
will never guess how Yuta pulled this one off."
"Hoe~e?"
"Nani?"
"Rika-chan, it might help if you slowed down a bit,"
said Tomoyo.
"Anyway," Rika continued (***Sakura, Tomoyo, and Naoko
sweatdrop***), "Yuta has all these strobe lights, a disco
ball, the fog making thing, and-"
"Ohayo gazaiimas, minna!" Chiharu rushed over, with
a slightly disgruntled Takashi following her. Rika glared at
her. Chiharu ignored her, "Well, why are we all outside?
The party is indoors, you know."
"You know, the word 'party' was originally thought of by-"
Takashi started one of his familiar lies.
"Urusei, anta baka. I see some things don't change."
A figure stepped out onto the sidewalk. Sakura gasped and fainted,
with Tomoyo happily recording.
