A/N: well I re read my whole story and I noticed how much spelling errors I have in it. Well not really bad spelling errors because my editor fixes it for me but things like (ex: Sensei Higuchi… I switched the words around for some strange reason.. ( Higuchi sensei)…. Then I keep calling Hiromichi Keisuke…. I think he's from my other fic. I'm going crazy! My editor Sachiyo says she doesn't have time to edit my stories anymore, so would anyone like to help me out? Please be good at English!
Sorry it took so long to update… In Japan you have to take entrance exams to get into school. My mom really wanted me to go to this certain school, but I didn't get in. So she said I need to study more. This is the only free time I'm going to have in a while so don't expect any quick updates.
Disclaimer: this is the last time I am going to say it… I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!
OK ON WITH THE FICTION!
A dark gray painted house lay in the center of a wide forest that surrounded it. The quiet peace of the house was undisturbed. Wide windows let the fresh breeze and the radiant moon-light come inside. The curtains rose and fell as the wind pushed it aside. A bright light shone from one window at the corner of the house. A young girl starred into the vast distance as the night breeze swept her hair behind her. She hugged her jacket around her protectively as she closed the window.
She slowly sat back down into her seat and glanced at her visitor. He was writing down things on a piece of paper messily. Doodles and eraser shavings lay scattered on the table. A loud sigh escaped from her mouth as she put her elbow on the wooden table. His mysterious blue eyes that were hid by round glasses were concentrated on his paper. It has been hours since any ideas popped into their minds. All hope seemed lost.
Tomoyo P0V
" Eriol… We've been at this for three hours already. It's getting late." I yawned tiredly. I was changed into my nightgown by then. The purple silk lay loosely around my body. The only thing holding it back was the flimsy pink ribbon that was carelessly tied in the back. My hair was pinned up into a small bun, leaving strands of hair covering my pale face. I looked over at Eriol. He didn't dare answer me back. It seemed as if he was too busy cooking up a plan. I hoped that it was a good one. All the plans that have been come up with had death, risks, cars, nuclear weapons and did I mention death?
His tired red eyes shot up as he grinned a cheesy smile. " I think I got it!" I smiled with glee as I snatched the paper from his hand aggressively.
His handwriting was almost impossible to read. The characters were all mixed with each other. I grabbed the paper closer to my face and started to read a loud. " Step one. Syaoran and Sakura will think they are meeting up with us individually. At the movie ditch the two and hang out after." I shook my head with agitation. " Eriol! After ten minutes you only thought of this!"
His smiled turned into a pout, as he fixed is glasses straight. " What? I thought it was genius!"
I wanted to kill myself then. I work with an idiot. " Eriol dear. If I ditch Sakura, and she is left there alone with Syaoran… Don't you think she could just remove herself from the movie theatre, then waste her time sitting next to Syaoran for a mere two hour movie?"
His face fell as he realized how pathetic his plan was. " Well you think of something then!"
I pondered about what would work. Our two little experiments needed to be somewhere were they couldn't escape, a plan where Eriol and I won't get killed. It needed to be well thought out. No errors could be present.
" How about we lock them in the janitors office at school?" Eriol then suddenly mentioned. It sounded like a good plan at first, but Sakura had a medical condition: Claustrophobia. Which means that the person is scared of small, enclosed places.
" Nope, won't work." I knew that there was something that would work, it was at the tip of my nose, I could sense it! I looked around the living room for any inspirations. A movie ticket lay on the counter. Movie… I lazily thought. My mother then came in and placed a plate of raisin cookies on the counter. She wore a yellow apron with cookie dough stains marked all on it. Her hair was just as messy as mine but looked gorgeous on her anyway. My mother was the proud owner of Daidouji Inc, which is a famous Japanese clothing company line. I often help her out and model the clothing, but I enjoy making it more. My mother would often tell me that her ideas were no where near as good as mine is. I don't believe her though; she's the famed one not me.
" Made fresh out of the oven!" My mother exclaimed happily, as I grabbed one. Cookies, and a movie. What could I use with those two things?
Eriol turned and looked at the clock that lay on the white wall. His eyes widened as he noticed how late it was. " 9:30!" He began gathering all his things briskly. " Sorry Tomoyo, maybe we could think of something next time. I was supposed to be home at 9!"
" Why? Usually you stay out later then that." I questioned curiously. While Eriol skipped put of the kitchen.
" Oh this new horror drama came out! It's so scary! It leaves you in such suspense! I hope I didn't miss too much! Well ja!" he ran out of the door before I could comment back.
I sat in silence for a while with only the crackling of the fire logs and the ticking of the clock accompanying me. Cookies, and horror movie? What could I do with those things?
My mom then sat down next to me and glanced at me questioningly. I was a bit scared of her glances. She always scolds me and lectures me whenever she gives me one of those looks. " Tomoyo you have been working all night, why don't you take a rest?"
I shook my head slowly. " I can't rest until I think of a good plan!" My mom tilted her head with confusion. " Well get to bed soon, or else you won't be able to get up tomorrow." She then dug in her apron and pulled out a recipe.
" I found the recipe you wanted to cook for next weeks assignment? I believe you wanted to make Purin?" ( Japanese pudding) ( Many American shows I watch have a class where you cook? I don't know what it's called but it's similar to this)
Suddenly it hit me. The perfect plan! Horror movie and Purin! I gleefully jumped up and down as I briefly hugged my mother. " Thanks for the inspiration!" She just smiled, confusion was written all over her face. Now I could finally catch up on that sleep that I was missing out on.

Sakura POV
It was all a blur to me now. Why can't I get my feelings straight? I hate someone but then my emotions totally turn and I feel like I could love them at the same time.
Sometimes I just feel like I don't know myself anymore. It's like a mask is covering the real me. I wish I could just dive deep inside of my heart and find my real self again… What has changed with me anyway? What made me the way I am now? I feel cold….. I feel distant, from all the ones that mattered to me before. The warmth like a summer day that I once felt turned into a cold blizzard.
I sighed inwardly and looked over to the side. I saw coming toward me Li, Hiirigizawa and that other boy. Takizawa I think? Or was it Takashi? But why should I care anyway. It's not like he's someone important.
I continued to stare at the group as they walked past, waiting patiently for a few curse words, a glare, and snickers. I was going to be ready for any attack. But instead of an assault I received a very diminutive smile from Li. The other two just ignored me like I wasn't there. I couldn't help but blush a little. That was the last thing I ever thought he would do. Our feelings for each other were pure hate. But was the hate all of a sudden disappearing? Was the solid thick line of tension becoming thinner after building up all these years?
He turned around and continued walking down the long hall. My eyes followed until they completely disappeared from sight. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I put my hand over it and took deep breaths. Why was my heart beating uncontrollably?
Tomoyo was late again. What a great friend I was to wait for her when class was starting in five minutes. Usually I was the one to be late but my brother discovered a thing called water. He said that the next time I don't wake up when my alarm clock goes off he would dump a pitcher of water onto my head. I didn't believe him at first but after he actually did it three times to be exact.
I saw Tomoyo running down the hall then. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and sweat started to stream down her face. I figured she ran here. " Ohayo." She managed to say between breaths.
" Ohayo. You're late again." I replied lazily. I really didn't feel like going to class today, especially Maths, which happened to be first period.
Tomoyo could only giggle and nod. As we walked down the hall I thought of the summer that we went to that beach. Everything was all about Sanrio and Pokemon back then. My train of thought kept running through my mind like a movie until I was interrupted by a nudge from Tomoyo.
" Sakura can you come to my house for a project next week?" Tomoyo asked casually. I nodded in response. " Better not be a clothing project! Last time you made me try on clothes you poked me with those needles."
We both laughed at the memory. " Of coarse not! I promise I'll be more careful next time!"
" Like there will be a next time!" I replied loudly. Never again will I let Tomoyo use me as a display for her designs.
" Well it's a cooking project…" She started to sound a bit nervous but I put no mind to it.
" Well why do I need to come then? It's not like I can cook well." I was okay at cooking I guess. I could cook up a good batch of cookies but that was about it.
" Well…." Tomoyo started out nervously. " Well…. What?"
" Eriol happens to be my partner, and you know how I can't stand him. I need someone else to be there with me!" Tomoyo replied rather too quickly.
" You guys don't get along? I thought you two were friends? The way you dragged him out of the lunch room yesterday made you guys look like a couple or something." I know Tomoyo still likes him, she's just lying because she knows I don't like him. The thought made me depressed once more. What a great friend I was… Making Tomoyo pretend to hate someone she actually cares about, because of my stubbornness.
Her eyes widened at my comment. " What are you talking about Sakura. I can't stand him!" Lie…. Stop lying to me Tomoyo, I know you too well. Your putting on a mask just like how I am, hidden behind that mask is your true affections.
I decided to try and start to act like a real friend, meaning going to Tomoyo's house with that gross Eriol guy. " I guess I'll go…"
Eriol's POV
" I guess it will work but won't it be tricky?"
" It's perfect what are you talking about?"
" Okay so your house next week, I'll make sure to bring some horror movie like Yogen ( J-Horror movie. I thought it was pretty scary)."
Voices were heard from the other side of the hall. " Tomoyo you better ran away fast before people see you talking to me like this,"
Tomoyo nodded as she ran to the girl's bathroom that was just down the hall.
I watched her go as my friends entered the hallway. I smiled and waved nervously, hoping that they never saw Tomoyo. Instead of a greeting I received some questionable looks.
They knew something. They figured something out.
I walked with them in silence for a while. I saw Sakura leaning by a locker. It was weird to think I used to be friends with her. We walked passed her quickly, I didn't even glance at her, I just did what I usually did: ignore her.
After a while Syaoran was the first to ask about the earlier encounter. " What were you doing with Daidouji-san?"
I began to feel nervous, but I maintained my calm appearance. Just tell Syaoran about the cooking project.
" Um.. Well we were discussing our cooking project." I added.
The whole group chuckled. I was a bit confused at first. Why were they laughing at me?
" Eriol cooking? I feel sorry for Daidouji-san after its over she might not have a house anymore!" Syaoran and the other guys laughed out loud.
So what a lot of guys cook? Or… was It just the fact that I'm cooking? Yeah that is kind of weird.
" So what! I can cook." I lied, I never even touched a pot before. The only thing I was able to cook was Sapporo Ichiban ( instant noodles) and popcorn.
" I would love to see this." Syaoran commented.
A light-bulb just flashed in my head for the first time. This was going along almost too perfectly.
" Well Syaorannnnn." I sang out. " You can come with me to her house to keep me company. I'll even put on a BIG cooking show for you." I grinned at him.
" Hell ya. I have to see this. Eriol making a big fool out of himself in front of Daidouji!"
I pouted and fixed my glasses straight. " Why would I care about making a fool out of myself in front of her?"
" Because you like her DUH!" Syaoran put on his fake valley girl accent...
I couldn't have been redder. My face must've been redder then a tomato. How did Syaoran know I liked her? Syaoran just laughed harder when he saw my face.
" Don't laugh Eriol or your face will explode." I punched him in the arm jokingly. " Urusai."
" Come on Eriol just admit it. You like Tomoyo." Yamazaki teased. " Yeah. You got the HOTTS for her." Syaoran added.
" I do not!" I yelled back. A light bulb popped it my head again. Wow today must be Eriol got a brain day.
" Lie!" Syaoran chuckled.
" Hey Syaoran it's not like you don't have the H0TTS for Kinomoto." I smirked as I saw his face turn a slight pink.
" The witch? Yeah right.." Syaoran added nervously.,
" Oh SUUUUUREEE wasn't it just yesterday when you two would take romantic walks every day, and remember when she KISSED you right on the lips. Don't you just love the feeling of her lips on yours" I laughed out loud, while repeating his words from his secret diary.
Yamazaki and the others just hung their mouth wide open. Syaoran turned a darker pink as he looked away. " That was when we were younger." He replied in a low and deadly tone, but I wasn't scared of it. He wouldn't do anything to me.
" Now tell me Syaoran do you still like to stare at her ass?" The guys were on the ground laughing now... Gosh the look on Syaoran's face was priceless.
" I D0 N0T!" He screamed, catching some peoples' attention in the hall.
" Oh but Syaoran" I said between laughs. " Don't deny it remember your life is different now because of her." The bell suddenly rung. It was my sign, to run really fast. " Gotta go!" I ran down the hall but just before I turned the corner I screamed. " Make sure to check out her ass in math."
I laughed evily as I walked into math quietly. I already saw Tomoyo and Sakura sitting in their chairs. They both looked up at me while Sakura just glared and Tomoyo gave me a very small smile.
I was just about to sit down when… "Hiirigizawa!" Syaoran yelled. I was expecting that.
I bit my lip and faced him. Time for a long lecture. But just for the fun of it I want to embarrass him more. I love that look on Syaoran's face when he knows I'm right..
" What is it Dear?" I replied calmly, while getting some snickers from the class.
" You know exactly what I'm talking about. All that bull you said outside?" I giggled, this was going to be funny.
" I swore it was all true… You told me this stuff in fourth grade.."
" That was when I was mentally retarded and weird! Don't use it to blackmail me now." Syaoran yelled loudly.
" You still ARE mentally challenged." I corrected him. I could hear Sakura laugh in the background. Oh boy she won't be laughing by the end of this. I looked back at Tomoyo, I think she was getting what I was cooking up.
" What is this about boys?" The teacher interrupted behind us. She was obviously interested in our conversation.
" Oh something a little bird told me." I grinned at her.
" Oh and what did this bird tell you?" She questioned…
I was just about to blabber it out when Syaoran interrupted me.. He obviously didn't want me to say it a loud.. " Eriol I suggest you sit down or you and the little bird will be shot down and beated brutally."
" So it is true huh?" I questioned him.. His face turned pale. " What is true?"
" All the things that I mentioned earlier."
" No….."
" You sure now?"
" Yes…."
" Are you sure?"
" Yes"
" promise to god?"
"…. Yes…"
I sighed. God when is he just going to admit it? If he doesn't soon, I will, and it won't be pretty.
" Then why are you so nervous about me telling it to the whole class if it isn't true?" I replied wittily.
" Because.. I.. Because I don't… I don't want you too." He answered nervously.
" Fine I guess I won't say it.." I pretended to sigh.
I could feel the tension on Syaoran's shoulders lift up as he sat down next to me.
" But don't worry Syaoran… You're not crazy I think Sakura has a nice ass too." I blurted out between laughs.
The whole class erupted into laughter. Well everyone except Sakura and Syaoran of coarse.
I looked over at Syaoran his face was a so red that it turned into some sort of purple.. He pointed at me and yelled " It's not like you don't look at Tomoyo's ass…"
" AHA so you admit it. See Sakura even Syaoran your worst enemy likes your BUTT." I emphasized the word. I couldn't believe what I have just done.. God was I dead after this.
