:Chapter Fifteen:
"The Show Must Go On"
[ Link in FF.net ]



"What do you think you are doing with my sister?!" Her older brother's angry voice confronted Li Syaoran.

Sakura thought it would be the end of it all. Tavenzouh and Damaski-is in one place; Li Syaoran and Kinomoto Touya in full frontal confrontation. Her expression switched from being shocked into being horrified as reality dawned on her. She was speechless. Her mouth gaped to find words to say.

"Kinomoto Touya..." Li Syaoran spoke cooly. He seemed to have regained his usual arrogant posture. "...family..." He nodded to Sakura. "...and..." With a pause, he smirked towards Yukito's direction. "...friends. What a nice way to start this pleasant evening." He slowly shut his phone and slid it back inside his coat. He moved sideways; casually placing both of his hands inside his pockets. The wavered aura he gave out earlier was gone.

Sakura looked from their family's number one enemy to her brother's angry face and to Yukito's grim frown. This can't be happening. She felt drained all of a sudden and found her arm going back down to her sides. The hand which gripped the phone dangled without energy.

Touya inched forward. His hand closed into a fist."Cut out the fake politeness, Li. I know what you are upto."

The other man chuckled. "But Kinomoto, I have no idea what you are talking about." His voice sounded innocent but his eyes reflected hate.

"Oh really? Just like before when you conspired with your mother to kill Sakura!" Touya threw at the younger man.

Li Syaoran gave a light snort. "You shouldn't be pointing such accusations. As far as I know, you cannot justify the attempt on your pretty little sister's life years ago. We've been in court and there was not enough evidence to link our family to that unfortunate incident. We should be the one filing a case against your family. Slander musn't be taken lightly."

"Why you..." He cursed under his breath and looked as if he was about to lurch at the other man.

"Touya!" Yukito halted his bestfriend. The angry man ended up gritting his teeth.

This made Li Syaoran bent his head downwards to laugh lightly. He scratched his nose. "This is slightly amusing. Everyone seems to be here. Too bad my mother is not interested with InterVEST. But you know what? Since you are talking about 'conspiracy', how about we look at the matter at hand. The play, after all, is staging a full cast."

"What damnation are you talking about...?" It was Touya's turn to ask. His frown deepened.

"Oh...maybe it wasn't me who is acting innocent around here." Li Syaoran retorted sharply. His happy-go-lucky attitude earlier started to dissipate. He edged closer to the group. His eye fell on Sakura. The young lady was startled at how furious they looked. It pierced her hard. For a moment there, Sakura got confused. Earlier, this man was as shocked as she was. Now, he seemed to be a totally different person.

He's mad at me?

"Stay away from Sakura." Yukito protectively shielded her. This made the other man back out a little.

Li Syaoran smirked again. "Nice to see you again, Tavenzouh. You look healthy."

Sakura gasped inward. He just called Yukito, Tavenzouh. So he knew Cedric Tavenzouh's true identity IRL. But if he knew that...does this mean...

As if to answer Sakura's silent inquiry. "Damaski-is." Yukito called the other man. Touya gave him a surprised look. Like Sakura, her brother seemed to have not expected for Yukito to know Li Syaoran's identity inside the game and vice versa.

"When was the last time we stood near each other like this." He looked up as he dig into his memories. "A while, I think?" Glancing at the taller man casually.

"Leave Sakura out of this." Her boyfriend said in an authoritative voice. This was the first time she saw Yukito so serious.

Li Syaoran gave a laugh of disbelief. "Did I hear you right? Me? Leave the princess away from this? But who was it who got her involved with InterVEST in the first place!" His question came out louder than expected.

Sakura held her breath as she realized where Li Syaoran was heading. He couldn't possibly thought that the whole Agatha thing was planned by the family?

"What do you mean by 'got her involved with InterVEST'?" Touya butted in. "Look, Sakura's here because the whole Kinomoto family got invited. And unlike your family, we are polite enough to come in complete attendance."

"I would let that one slide, Kinomoto." Li Syaoran said. "There are other things more important." He faced Yukito squarely; only inches away from the older man. "I can't believe you wouldn't fight me straight out. You needed to use her..."

A puzzled frown crept on Yukito's face. "Use her...?"

Before Li Syaoran started blurting out things he shouldn't, Sakura opted to move quickly. In a flash, she was beside Yukito and with her arms stretched out, she briskly pushed Li Syoaran away. These caused the men to give her surprised expressions.

"I..uh..." she stammered. "...I..." Then finally she looked up straight at the Li. Praying inside that he gets what she was about to say. "...I don't think we should be behaving like this here. If this continue, other guests will hear us. We don't need another scene to be created. Both our families are already in a hot seat as it is." She clasped her hands. "If all of you want to continue this somewhere else...then that's fine. Just don't ruin this evening's events."

Touya and Yukito just stared at her as if she had lost her mind. On the other hand, Li Syaoran's eyes remained fixed at her as if waiting for a better explanation.

Sakura swallowed. I don't know how Li Syaoran reacts to circumstances, but I do know how strict and irritable Helroi Damaski-is can be. And something like this shall not be tolerated in his book.

"Mr. Li...are you by any chance...drunk?" she asked him out of the blue.

The man blinked. "Drunk?"

"You see..." She cleared her throat. Damaski-is...you'd better catch what I am about to say. "...you are saying things we honestly don't know of. Yup..." Sakura made a nodding gesture. "No one knows about it."

Li Syaoran raised a brow and looked at her intently. She, confident that both Yukito and her brother were behind her, made a sharp motion with her eyes as a signal to him. The young man narrowed his eyes. He shot a glance to both Touya and Yukito.

Sakura grew impatient. He was taking too long, so she spoke again. "The doormen are watching us." All three men glimpsed towards the welcome drinks area's double doors. Indeed, the two attendants were pretending to be oblivious of what's going on. But both were doing a bad job of hiding their interest.

"Spare it, Sakura." Touya spoke from behind. He clasped his sister's elbow and pulled her back. "It's common knowledge that every Li love attention. Especially from media scandals." He was back up front like a massive wall ready to protect. Yukito, on the other hand, remained silent.

Li Syaoran looked away. His eyes became hidden from view as he did so. The young man's mind had flown off, but Touya doesn't seem to notice this.

"I don't give a damn to what you are blabbering about. But listen to this, Li..." Then he pointed a finger at the other man. "...if you touch Sakura, even a strand of her hair, then I swear to God...you're not going to live to see tomorrow." He threatened.

The other man just remained silent. Touya was starting to a have puzzled expression when Li Syaoran finally reacted. He started to laugh.

insert modulated laugh here-

"I can't believe this..." He said between laughs. "...the irony of it all." He still continued to laugh.

"You're crazier than I thought, Li." Her brother remarked.

Still smiling, the younger man once again faced them. "I apologize for my rudeness." His cool collected self was back. "Perhaps, the lady was right. I might have been drunk to immediately jump to conclusions."

Touya's eyes narrowed. It was hard to predict Li Syaoran's actions and way of thinking.

"I don't need to explain myself to any of you, but as to clear things up in respect of being in a company of a lady..." He slightly bowed down to Sakura. "...and to abide with good terms in parallel to your previous accusations...I was talking to someone in my phone about my plans in InterVEST when I saw your sister. I thought she was spying."

"Don't compare my sister with what you and your family will normally do." Touya threw back at him. Yukito, at this point, still remained quiet. He continued watching Li Syaoran with observant eyes.

Instead of getting offended with what the older man just remarked, he smiled with subtlety. "There is no point in extending this conversation, Kinomoto." He jerked his head sideways. "I'd rather get on ahead to tonight's very promising event. And I think your dear friend, Tavenzouh over here, feels the same." He walked over Yukito and patted him playfully on his shoulder. "Ain't that right?" Then jokingly he taunted. "You should be more grateful to your bestfriend, Kinomoto, considering that most of his choices gets affected by his involvement with your family."

"It will always be that way." Yukito finally spoke. His tone was dead flat.

Li Syaoran gave the silver-haired man a side glance. Sakura couldn't help but notice how such a simple stare somehow meant something else. Again, the rumors about Damaski-is/Tavenzouh conflict haunted her mind. What kind of history does this two have? Before she could think of anything more, the younger man widened the gap between them by walking towards the welcome drinks room. He didn't even look back when he spoke. "I guess...I will be seeing you later."

Was he speaking to her? Sakura felt suddenly alarmed.

"Unfortunately." Yukito replied.

She looked at her boyfriend and was relieved that he thought it was him that the other man was directing his words. Seeing him later... But was he really talking to her? If he meant his brother and Yukito, he should have said 'seeing you guys later'rather than 'you' only. Plus, it was only natural for him to address both at once since that was what Lis often do.

I'm sure of it. Those last words were for me. Sakura shivered a little. See him later. What would happen after this encounter? The recently formed SkyLark was ready to blast in full motion. They were just waiting for the official announcement in InterVEST's part before they could proceed into plan. A Li and a Kinomoto...together...in one ambitious dream...

"What really happened here?" Yukito interrupted her thoughts.

"Hoe!" Sakura blinked.

"Did Li hurt you in any manner?" He said frowning at her.

She shook her head. "No...it was just like what he said."

"Are you sure?" Her brother asked once again. Touya's eyes were full of worry.

"Positive." She smiled cheerfully to both men.

"I thought you were taking awful a lot of time in the ladies room that's why we came to check." Yukito stepped closer to see if she has any wounds of any sort.

"No...no..I'm fine." She squeezed his arm reassuringly. "I was walking back from the ladies room when I thought I see someone I know in the corner of my eye." She placed her bag in front of her face cutely. "And it did turned out to be someone I know...not a friendly force...it turned out to be Li Syaoran." Sakura lied continuously. I can't believe I am doing this. She thought to herself.

Touya gave her a light nudge on the head. "For someone who has an 'almost get killed' experience in gatherings, you're too lax!" He scolded her.

"Touya..." Yukito gave her brother a 'stop that' look. The other man sighed.

"I'm so sorry..." Sakura bent her head. She was indeed sorry...for everything. If they knew what she had been doing behind their backs. And to think...her sins must have doubled...tripled even. Now that it turned out that a Li was involved. Not just any Li. It was Li Syaoran. The Lis' most priced heir to their legacy.

"Well, it's over now." Touya straightened his posture. "If he ever lay a finger on you, Sakura...even Yukito's restrain won't keep me from hitting him." He shot a deadly glance at his bestfriend.

Yukito, in return, placed a hand behind his head and smiled apologetically. "I know. I just don't think we should cause a scene in a place like this. The press will be drooling all over it if that happens. We are lucky that they are very busy mingling inside to notice us here."

"Li Syaoran just stepped inside the room. I am almost regretting the moment we go back in." Touya glanced beyond the double doors.

"Being rich and popular do have its disadvantages." Yukito started to walk back. "Shall we go?" He extended his hand at Sakura.

She took it and smiled. "Hai."

"What choice do we have." His brother frowned once again. "I must tell father." He said and went on ahead. Sakura and Yukito followed behind him.

"Sakura..." The man beside her started to say.

"Hoe!" Sakura was surprised. Yukito had always called her, 'Cherry-Blossom'; ever since they met. This was the first time he used her name.

"If you ever play InterVEST again..." He was facing forward. Sakura couldn't see his expression. "...and I know you will since I learned in the car that you do it to pass time..."

She felt her heart thumped faster. Where he is leading? Could he had known the truth and was now angry at her?

But she was relieved when he faced her with his usual smile. "...Please stir clear away from Helroi Damaski-is' path. He is one player you wouldn't want to mess with. Even if you are disguised with an online identity, it wouldn't be wise to meddle with him."

Sakura felt weak on her knees. "I see..." Were the only words she can say in reply.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laughter of guests filled the air as Tomoyo sulkily sipped her champagne glass. It had been quite a while since she arrived at the South Entrance's welcome drinks area, and so far, things were not perking up. Sure, people around her were enjoying themselves at this early time. Unfortunately for her, their social circle was totally different from hers. There were polite nods and greetings from fellow high-classed families, but they were only doing this in acknowledgement of her being a Daidouji. Their kindness was only skin deep.
Tomoyo gave out a sigh. She can't believe how she had encountered many disasters at the start of the evening. What more will come? First, it was Touya in the car. Then the mistake in the guest list. Followed by Touya again...

Touya...

She stared at the bubbly liquid inside her glass as she recalled what happened earlier. She felt warm and protected all of a sudden. A wave of confusion swept over her that she ended up frowning.

What exactly did happen?

She remembered being teased...aggravated and then...

Being held close...?

Was that her bestfriend's monstrous brother who suddenly held her and whispered on her ears? Was that really...Touya? She felt lightly tinged inside. Then she shook her head.

NO! NO! Touya's gestures doesn't mean anything at all. It is just one of his pranks. He dragged me halfway around the reception area after that! ...As if I am some kind of rag doll.

Without her realizing it, she was already clutching her glass tighly that the waiter serving the champagne gave her a scared look. Tomoyo jolted back to her sweet self and gave him a nervous smile. The rather thin server stirred clear away from her while giving her a weird glance. She just continued smiling at him until he was out of sight.

Silence overcame her after that as she looked around the fancy-dressed crowd. Most of them babbling on and on about InterVEST. Some were well-acquainted players of the game. She felt alone and casted away. At that point, even Touya's taunts will be most welcomed.

She gave out another sigh.

"Your enthusiasm intoxicates me, my lady." A slightly nonchalant voice spoke up from her side.

Tomoyo was startled. She turned to face the origin of the remark and found herself in front of a suave-looking man.

"Hiiragaziwa." She said in disdainful recognition.

"Oh please..." The young man started to say as he raised his drink to his lips. "...call me Eriol." He sipped his champagne. His eyes glimmered with mischief beneath his black-rimmed glasses.

"I must have done something terrribly wrong that I am continuously being showered with unpleasant events tonight." She retorted coldly.

Eriol gave a small laugh. "That is the price to pay for being exceptionally beautiful;...a certified attention attracter." His taunting gaze never left her.

"Tush! Tush!" She snobbingly eyed him. "What do you take me for? Some giggly girl fresh out of highschool?"

"No, not at all." The young man slightly bent his head sidewards. "I take you as a young woman fresh out of the university."

"Now listen here! I am not..." Her words hanged on the air for a moment before speaking again. "...okay...so I am someone fresh out of the university, but that doesn't give you the liberty to flirt with me using such trivial flattery."

"Then please do tell me. What flattery is not trivial with you?" His eyes narrowed. "Something Kinomoto Touya would normally use, perhaps?...Something..." He moved in closer to her; his face only inches away from hers as he spoke. "...that needed to be said in a much cozy demeanor?"

Tomoyo gasped and stumbled back. "What do you think you are doing!" She got sligthly alarmed at how easily he lessened the gap between them.

"Easy now." The lawyer lightly grabbed her elbow to prevent her from loosing her balance. It was a good thing that they were at the far corner of the room. Her brisk action only caused her to bump against a elaborately carved golden pillar.

"Unhand me, Hiiragizawa." Tomoyo threw him a piercing look.

The young man's brow shot up then his lips curved into a smile. "Not until you call me by my first name." His eyes confronted hers with same intensity.

For a moment there, she was gaping for words. He was smiling at her but his aura screamed with hidden ferocious strength waiting to be unleashed. Still...

Tomoyo gave a small laugh. "Are you threatening me?"

"That depends." He answered. His gaze never left hers. "Do you enjoy being threatened?"

"What!"

"Really now, my lady. If you love being empowered by a man physically..." His grip tightened and pulled her closer. Much to her shock, he once again leaned forward. His mouth barely touched hers when he spoke. "... I would gladly comply to your wishes."

Tomoyo was stunned at how close he is. His eyes were silently hypnotizing her. She could feel his warm breath against her face.

I should slap him...

Her heart pounded faster inside her chest when she realized that he just closed his eyes and parted his lips.

...he couldn't possibly...! He...he...wouldn't dare...

She was still battling inside, when he suddenly let her go and straightened up. He pulled out a small black notebook and a pen from his coat. Tomoyo blinked with confusion.

"Okay, that's it. It's official." He said in a serious court tone.

"W-what!" She seemed to have recovered her usual steam.

He started to write something on his notebook. "Oh yes." He said while nodding.

"Who...who do you think you are!" One hand shot up and pushed him hard that he almost lost his balance. "And...what are you writing!" She asked angrily.

People nearby started to look at them with interest. Most were checking out what was making the Daidouji heiress upset. Much to Tomoyo's horror, she realized that there were media people present in the room. It wouldn't look good to her mother's eyes if she was caught on record with Li Syaoran's lawyer and most trusted friend. Plus, considering her attachment with the Kinomoto's...

"Sssshhhh! You are starting to gather unwanted attention again." The young man looked at her with innocent eyes and continued to answer her inquiry. "I am writing down my observations of you. So I won't forget." He once again scribbled on the tiny notebook.

Tomoyo's mouth dropped open. "Wha--?...I can't believe this..." She said trying to lower her voice while smiling at the people that started glancing at their direction. To her relief, their interests went back to the small stage at the opposite end of the room where an InterVEST male host seemed to be preparing to say something.

"How could you act like nothing happened?" Again, she desperately said in a low tone while focusing her eyes to the stage instead of the man beside her. "You're lucky that I don't want to start another scene in this event."

The lawyer gave her an obviously fake startled reply. "Why? Did something just happened?"

She faced the man squarely. "Of all the nerve!" She was lucky that her voice got drowned by the commotion that was starting to build-up in front where people cheered at what the InterVEST host just said.

"I think we should be listening." The dark-haired man pointed out.

Tomoyo gritted her teeth and stomped on his feet.

"Eoow!" He limply said. "What did you do that for!"

"You...you...scoundrel!" She was enraged at how this man seemed to have shifted moods. "I can't believe that a person like you exists!...Acting as if you didn't do anything!"

"But I really didn't do anything." He gave her an amused look. "Oh wait! Don't tell me...you actually want me to do something?"

"Ugh!" She shook her fist at him. She closed her eyes to search for her words but without even thinking she blurted out. "You are worse than Touya! At least, he is still a gentleman!"

"You call someone who drags you around the room, a gentleman?!" An angry retort cut into the air.

Tomoyo was taken a back at how sharp those words were spoken. Who just said that? Hiiragizawa? She opened her eyes and found herself staring at a pair of icy navy-blue gems.

"You call someone who addresses you with petty names, a gentlemen?!" Hiiragizawa Eriol continued to ask piercingly.

She could only stare at him.

"You call someone who places his arms around you without your permission, a gentleman?!"

"I...uh..." Tomoyo murmured as his words started to sink in.

"If so. Then my lady, I suggest that you check your dictionary as to what is the meaning of the word 'gentleman'!"

After that, no one spoke a word; both of them were silent. Around them people were cheering. The host just welcomed them all at InterVEST's most promising event in history. Pink and white balloons fell from the ceiling together with glittering confetti. Special light effects added an attractive sight. Cameras flashed from the media. Guests talked in excited voices despite the rather loud music in the background. They seemed to have forgotten about the two people at the back.

"Where are you leading to...?" Tomoyo finally asked in a soft voice.

The lawyer looked away.

"I'm afraid...I do not understand your purpose." She remarked once again when he didn't reply.

He glanced back at her. His eyes were unreadable. Then, he lightly smirked. "I don't think..." he started to say in a calmer tone. "...you would understand even if I tell you my purpose."

She looked up at him questioningly.

"Look...just do as I ask and I'll leave you." The man said.

"What do you want?"

His angry atmosphere got washed away when he suddenly smiled down at her. "Just call me...by my first name from now on."

Tomoyo felt tired. After all that had happened to her, she don't want to aggravate things any further. So she agreed. "Okay."

- silence -

He nodded. "I guess...I'll be seeing you later then, Tomoyo."

"You, too..." She timidly replied. "...Eriol."

Eriol walked away from her. She watched his lean back as it started to blend in the crowd. When she thought it was finally over, she heard him call onto her.

"You promised that you will pay me back, right?" The young man glanced back before going out of earshot.

"Huh?" She gave another confused frown.

"That 'thing' that happened before in the airport?"

"Oh." Tomoyo said in recollection.

"You intend to keep what you said?"

"Of course." She nodded determinedly.

He turned his head forward that Tomoyo couldn't see his face. "Good. Cause I intend to collect in a matter of time."

"Eh!"

And with that, he disappeared within the mob of guests.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eriol was walking briskly towards the nearest exit when something caught his eye. He stopped to look.
"That man..." he said to himself.

At the opposite end of the bar of the welcome drinks area, a ghostly looking man stood stiffly. His eyes were hallow and his skin was pale as if the sun never shone on it. His graying hair was brushed back neatly yet the ghoul-like projection made him look like someone who had dug out from his own grave.

He felt a shiver went up his spine as the old man looked straight at him. "...for some reason, that man looks familiar to me." Then his eyes noticed the zombie-like person wore white gloves. He frowned. Are those butler gloves?

Then it hit him. This man was probably the Kinomoto family's loyal butler. To be specific, Kinomoto Sakura's butler...and InterVEST assistant.

Eriol cleared his throat. How could he had forgotten? Many times he had encountered this man inside InterVEST. He remembered placing a stolen shot picture of the butler next to his monitor everytime he bumps into the little smiling girl online. Sorta reminded him of what the bouncy girl really looked like IRL. And even once, he saw him in person. His memory strayed at the Central Park incident a few days ago.

He stopped walking and pretended to straigthen his jacket. Had the butler seen his little interlude with his mistress' bestfriend? Was he here to defend the damsel? It looked as if he had been standing there for quite some time.

Eriol observed the butler behind his glasses. It was hard to assess since the butler always had that expressionless face. But so far, the old man just looked at him unmovingly.

The lawyer raised a brow as if to question the Kinomoto employee, but he stayed motionless.

"There you are!" A chirpy voice suddenly popped out of nowhere followed by an arm squashing glomp.

"What the-!" Eriol almost jumped in surprised. "Damn it, Nakuru! You scared the heck out of me! Wait a minute...you're not suppose to talk to me in public." He hissed and dragged Nakuru out of the room and into the hallway leading to a private lift exclusively for InterVEST organizers. This lift can be activated with an ID swipe card given to Hotel VIPs to use at their convenience. No doormen or security personnel lurk in these areas since the Grand Hotel was very confident with the advanced security system they have here.

"AaaaaaaawTrying to get rid of me so soon?" The woman pouted.

"Sssssssh!" The dark-haired man warned the other. He glanced back inside towards the bar and frowned when he could no longer find the Kinomoto butler.

"Who are you looking at?" Nakuru asked while peeking on his shoulder.

"Nothing." Eriol lied.

"Hmph! Now I am officially starting to get jealous." She said while making a grim face.

"You are talking nonsense again." The lawyer rolled his eyes.

"Am not! I mean, who wouldn't be jealous if your dah-ling is trying to seduce another woman! A younger woman, for that matter!"

Eriol narrowed his eyes irritably. "I am not seducing anyone."

Nakuru made a taunting expression. "Of really? You call 'teasing to kiss' someone...not a form of seduction?"

"Are you spying on me?" He asked the woman.

"Of course! I would want to see what my dah-ling was doing." And with that she grabbed his arm and snuggled close.

"Hey...hey..." Eriol tried to get free from her clasp. "...I will say this again. In case you didn't catch this the last time. I AM NOT YOUR DAH-LING."

"Ow! Well I shall say this to you again, too." Nakuru placed her hand on her hips. "YOU NEVER COMPLAINED BEFORE."

"Didn't I?"

"Yes, you didn't."

"Well at least I am making it clear now." The young man mouthed. "I AM NOT YOUR DAH-LING. Go find yourself someone near your age bracket."

The woman's lips suddenly quivered. "Oh Eriol..." She started to sniff. "You're hurting me. How could you dump me like this?" She looked at him with sad eyes.

Eriol just looked at her with boredom. "Save it, Nakuru. Your acting does not work on me. I know you too well."

"Damn it." She silently cursed. "Oh well...I guess there are other fishes to catch in the sea." She snobbingly tossed her hair.

Eriol sighed. "Haven't you thought of how much time you wasted by talking nonsense, Nakuru?"

"Well there isn't exactly anything I can do until the actual announcement." She fished out her makeup compact from her back, flipped it and studied her reflection in the round mirror.

"Weren't you suppose to be taking care of Kinomoto Touya?"

Nakuru peered from the compact. "Eh? So eager to get rid of the competition, ne Eriol-kun? Does she mean that much to you?"

"This is...business." The young man replied.

"Yeah..yeah..." The woman fanned one hand at him. "...that's what they all say at first..."

"Nakuru." Eriol interrupted in a dead serious tone.

Nakuru sighed. "Okay...okay." She snapped the compact close. "I was about to make a move on that handsome architect when he and his friend stepped out of the room. It seems your dear friend, Li Syaoran got entangled with his precious sister in the hallway."

Eriol blurted out a chuckle. "You're kidding! They already met at this early stage? Did Syaoran try to kill her?"

The woman giggled as if reliving the moment when she saw the scene. "No actually, I think he found out!...BOTH of them found out about...you know what..." She trailed off almost singing the last word.

Eriol's smile widened. "Looks like fate is truly on our side. I must report this quickly."

"Eh? You're calling Mr. Reed now?"

"Yeah..." He started walking towards the lift. "...I will call him inside my hotel room. That old man would probably die with too much anticipation and excitement if I don't report every hour."

"Just make sure you get back in the main event. Remember, all guests from the different entrances will be merging at the Grand Hotel's main ballroom. It would be interesting to see all of you in one room." Nakuru cooed.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." His dark smile was evident as the lift's doors closed behind him.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People had been whispering for quite some time now. Ever since we all stepped back inside the welcome drinks area. Who wouldn't? Kinomotos and a Li were together in one room. Media people hovered all over them. They only toned down when Fujitaka requested some hotel security personnels to contain them.
Sakura hid behind Yukito as she uneasily sipped from her champagne glass. She tried focusing her attention at what her brother has been saying, but her eyes keep wandering off.

Where is he? She secretly searched the North Entrance's Welcome Drinks area. Earlier, she was wishing that Tomoyo could be with them. But now, after that incident in the hallway...she was almost glad her bestfriend wasn't there. It could add salt to injury considering that Tomoyo remembered seeing her talking to Damaski-is online. It was not that her bestfriend would disclose this kind of information in front of her family. She has faith on Tomoyo's loyalty. But being the concerned friend that she was, she would probably won't let this one slide once they were alone. I appreciate you, Tomoyo-chan, but I don't think I can handle your questions at the moment. She knew that her bestfriend would found out eventually, but at least she will have some more time to think this through.

But was there really something to think about? Even if Damaski-is turned out to be Li Syaoran, business-wise...the contract was iron-clad. They could only get out of it if both agrees to cancel it. Would Damaski-is back out? Or would Li Syaoran back out? More importantly...

Would I back out?


For a moment there, she was slightly appalled that she couldn't give a straight answer. She shook her head.

"Anything wrong, Cherry-Blossom?" Yukito peered at her worriedly.

"Hoe!" She exclaimed. Relieved that Yukito reverted back at calling her his usual pet name for her. She smiled at him. "It's nothing grave. I just feel so uncomfortable with the tension in this room." It was partly true.

"It's all that Li Syaoran's fault." Touya butted in hatefully. "How on earth did he got enlisted in our social circle?"

"Maybe the mistake in Tomoyo-chan's registration got mixed up with him." Yukito pointed out thoughtfully.

Touya's hand tightened into fist. "I bet that Li paid the organizers for the switch!"

Sakura could only give a nervous smile. For some reason, she didn't feel like contributing to the conversation. Somehow she felt pained at the way they talk about Li Syaoran. And to think that she also loathed the man, but now...after knowing he was Damaski-is. She actually felt like defending him. No...no...don't Sakura, please...don't. For all you know, he is already plotting against you. With a determined face, she nodded to herself.

"Now...now..." Fujitaka patted his son's shoulder. "..let us not jump to conclusions. At least you guys were able to get Sakura before it was too late." Her father smiled at her.

She tried pasting her usual cheerful face. It became immensely difficult as she recalled what truly happened earlier. She wished that Touya and Yukito didn't come. She wished she had more time to discuss things with Damaski-is...with Li Syaoran. But then again, would she have been safe? A shiver ran thru her spine when she recalled hearing rumors about the Li heir being the schemer behind the attempts on her life. And to think that he almost succeeded years ago. The event wherein Yukito took the blow of the knife and saved her.

But...but...surely...Damaski-is wouldn't hurt me, would he? I mean, they are still the same person.

"Yeah...before it was too late." Her brother glared at her.

"Hoe..." She could only give him an apologetic smile.

"We'll just have to keep an eye on him." Yukito suggested. "He is alone in this event. I don't think he can produce that much of a harm. As far as I know, he is the only one interested with technology in his family. If he has cronnies crawling somewhere, their power will be lesser that dealing with an actual Li."

Everyone nodded. Then Touya suddenly looked up. "Say, Yukito...which reminds me. I was surprised when you called Li Syaoran, Damaski-is. I didn't know that the Damaski-is we've been talking about in the car was the same man. Why didn't you tell us that he is Li Syaoran?"

Yukito blinked for a moment as if he didn't anticipate that he shall be asked directly. "Well...let's just say...I had some problems with Damaski-is online and it is unavoidable that I would eventually know who he is IRL. I just don't want to trouble any of you with the thought that the person Tomoyo-chan had been asking is none other than the Li heir."

"That's very understandable." Fujitaka gave a supportive nod. "Now that we all know...we must always be alert."

Touya looked like he was about to say something, but opted to remain quiet. Sakura wondered what it was. Whatever it is, he probably decided it is best to ask Yukito in private.

"Good thing that no one in my family is deeply involved with that game." Her father added.

Sakura almost choked.

Yukito laughed. "Fujitaka-tosan, you make me feel unwelcomed."

"Aha-ha. I'm sorry Yukito-kun. I know you can very well take care of yourself inside the game. I mean, if Touya or Sakura gets addicted with that game, who knows what may happen. The Kinomoto-Li fued would extend even in the cyberworld. That's a little scary."

Actually, father...the opposite is happening...we are...bringing the two families together to monopolize the business industry. Sakura thought to herself, yet she gave a nervous smile.

"That is why..." Touya leaned forward at her. "Sakura..."

"Hoe!" She looked at her older brother.

"Eventhough you said that you only play InterVEST when you feel like it and don't have a definite character..."

"Hoe?"

"...Quit it and find another thing to do to past time...before Li Syaoran finds you."

"Hoe..."

Her brother gave her a 'you better not get yourself in trouble or else' look and was about to say something when a small man climbed up the stage.

Everyone's attention turned to him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen...may I have the honors of welcoming each and everyone of you to InterVEST's most important and grandest event of all!" the haughty looking man in his 30's said on the mic. As he did so, the guests were showered with pink and white balloons with glittering confettis. Everyone clapped. The lights swam in different colors which made the guests cheer even more.

The little man continued. "A few minutes from now the huge double doors you see on top of the staircase at the left side of the room will open. It shall all lead you to the Grand Hotel's largest ballroom. And there the main event shall begin and InterVEST's most awaited announcement shall be disclosed!"

Guests, who seemed to be full-players, whistled.

"We know...we know. For players, this is indeed an exciting night. So finish up your drinks...mingle but reserve some more energy since all of the other guests from the other entrances shall be gathering in one enchanted ballroom." With some last words, the small man left the stage. People clapped politely and went back to what they were doing earlier. Even Fujitaka found a business partner and went on ahead in chatting with him.

"Good...we will be seeing chipmunk again." Touya commented.

"Onii-chan!"

"What!" Her brother exclaimed innocently.

"Give it up, Cherry-Blossom. He is not going to change." Yukito remarked; shaking his head.

Sakura gave another sigh. "You're hopeless." Just then, Sakura's cellphone vibrated inside her bag. She clutched it for a minute. Could it be? She looked at her brother and Yukito. Both got engaged with a conversation regarding their next project. She glanced around her to look for a familiar chestnut-haired guy. She couldn't seem to find him.

Confident that her two bodyguards were occupied. She took out her cellphone to read the SMS she just received.

'Sender: Damaski-is

Message:

We need to talk. N-O-W.'


She felt her heart skip a beat by just reading the sender's name. She felt goosebumps creep up her back when she realized that the display could very well read like...

'Sender: Li Syaoran

Message:

We need to talk. N-O-W.'


A Li...sending her text messages...of meeting...in person. She felt cold all of a sudden. But no...she must face this. With a cute determined face she started typing a reply.

'Reply to Message:

Where are you?'


She exhaled and clicked 'send'. Not a minute later, her phone vibrated once more. She clicked 'read sms received'.

'Sender: Damaski-is

Message:

Make an excuse to go to the ladies room. Go the same path, but turn right at the opposite hall.

You will see small vacant function rooms. Meet me there
.'

She once again typed her reply and sent it.

'Reply to Message:

Which one are you in?'


Her phone vibrated once more.

'Sender: Damaski-is

Message:

Just go there already. You will know when you get there. Hurry up before your a** brother or weakling boyfriend starts suspecting!'


Hoe! He just called her beloved brother an 'a**' and Yukito a 'weakling'. Lis must really hate us. Wait a minute, eventhough he was Damaski-is, he shouldn't be talking about her family like that! Hmph! She was about to type a nasty reply about the Lis when her phone vibrated again.

'Sender: Damaski-is

Message:

I know what you are thinking. Don't waste any more time replying to me or arguing with me in SMS.

Just come here. N-O-W! Let's see how well you'll fair with a one-on-one IRL confrontation.'


Is he challenging me! Her worries suddenly evaporated and was replaced by her usual spite for the veteran player. All of a sudden, she was full of courage to face the man. But first, she must find an excuse to get out of the room.

"Ne...Yukito-kun...Onii-chan..." Sakura interrupted the two men's conversation.

"Yes, Cherry-Blossom?"

"I think I need to freshen up." She smiled wearily.

"You're going out again!" Touya exclaimed.

Sakura placed a hand behind her head and bowed down slightly. "I'm sorry, but all these tension in the room is really making me uncomfortable. I think I should step out for a while, and since the main event is about to start, I think I should at least check on how I look. I'm a female after all. The powder room will be most inviting."

"Women..." Touya said grumpily.

"It's not safe to go out there alone." Yukito pointed out worriedly.

"Don't worry." Sakura placed a reassuring hand on his arm. "I don't think he would strike again. Besides, his presence was already known by the media. It won't be wise to get exposed to more rumors for the nth time."

"Well...," Yukito seemed not fully convinced. "...I guess...one way or another you are right."

The lady's face lift up and turned to her older brother with hopeful eyes. Touya's shoulders dropped down as he exhaled. "Fine, then...go. But hurry up." He glared at her.

"Like what you said...I'm a woman. And women take a lot of time in the powder room." She pouted childishly back at him.

"Ugh..." Touya shook his head.

Yukito smiled. "Just go, Cherry-Blossom...and be careful."

"Hai!" She gave the silver-haired man a quick hug before disappearing in the hallway.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So Fujitaka, I heard the success of the Marianas Isle. Maybe I'll go there for my vacation." A stout man wearing a monocle exclaimed.
"Of course," Kinomoto Fujitaka said smiling. "you are most welcomed to go there, councilor. Just tell me when and I shall arrange a superb service for you."

"Indeed...indeed." The councilor laughed whole-heartedly. He was joined by the set of other politicians around them.

Fujitaka moved away from his family to talk to the crowd of men he knew from his business. Soon after, the councilor and his men joined them. He was not fond of politicians, but he tried to be polite. It was not good to have them as your enemies.

"This InterVEST main event is taking longer than expected." A man in his mid-30's remarked.

"I heard that the grand ballroom needed to be rearranged. It seems that the turnout of guests were larger than anticipated." Another of the councilor's men said.

The group continued to talk vibrantly. Fujitaka just remained silent. This event had proved to be worrisome. He rubbed his temple as he replaced his empty glass to the waiter's tray. He glanced at where his family stood, just in time to see Sakura leaving the room. The older man's brow arched. Then he frowned; deep in thought.

He turned back to the group he was with, excused himself and retraced his daughter's steps out to the hallway.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura could hear her own footsteps as walked the hallway Li Syaoran mentioned in his SMS. Unlike the hallway behind her, this one was not carpeted. The floor was a vast sea of marble. The walls were less decorated yet it still imposed a high-classed design. Not a single person can be found in this separated hallway.
She stopped walking when she reached the far end. "What now..." she murmurred.

Four closed doors beckoned her; two on her left, one on her right and another in front.

Where is he? She thought; giving the phone she held in her hand a nervous glance. Her determined self earlier was slowly evaporating. I think I'd better send another message...or better yet... Sakura bit her lower lip. "Should I call him?"

"There's no need for that." A deep hoarse voice suddenly spoke up.

"Hoe!" She turned and saw Li Syaoran standing underneath the doorframe of the room on her right. "I didn't hear that door open."

"Hearing this door is the least of your problems." Li Syaoran remarked coldly. And before she could say another 'hoe', the young man grabbed her and briskly pulled her with him inside the room.

Sakura's eyes widened as she found herself in a dark ballroom. All lights were turned off but the glow being illuminated from the tall curtained windows invaded the room, enough for her to see her surroundings. The place was not as large as the welcome drinks area, but it turned out to be a small function room with a wooden center floor for dancing. Chairs were held up on the tables, covered with white mantel. A small chandelier glistened from strays of light from the outside.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door getting locked behind her. She remembered who she was with and gasped. She quickly spun around to face the person.

"You are..." Li Syaoran's eyes narrowed as he spoke. "...in big trouble." Then he started to inch forward towards her.

"Hoe!" Sakura stepped back. It was dark but she could see his eyes peircing at her.

"Is that what you are just going to say to me! 'HOE'?" His voice was starting to rise.

Sakura frowned. "Wait a minute. From the tone of your voice, it seems that you are blaming me for all these?"

"I am not actually blaming you...I'm accusing you of planning all of these!" He blurted out.

"P-Planning all of these!" It was Sakura's turn to raise her voice. "You still think that the whole family conspired against you! Didn't I tell you already that they didn't know about it?"

Syaoran started to pace angrily. "How should I know if you are telling the truth or not! Let's just say that they, indeed, didn't know anything, but what about you. Who knows what you really intended of doing? But I would have to commend you on your excellent work in acting. I can't believe that I am tricked by a Kinomoto!"

Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing. This man really thought that she plotted everything. She fumed inside just thinking of it. Then suddenly, a possibility hit her.

"You are really going way out in saying that I plotted this. But for all I know it might be YOU who had plotted it. After all, between the two of us, you are the one who has a record of deceiving people and scheme behind their backs." It was Sakura's turn to narrow her eyes as she accused him.

"WHAT!" Li Syaoran retorted. "Are you actually throwing my accusations back at me!"

"And why not?" Sakura held her head high. "You are a Li. Your family cannot be trusted."

The chestnut-haired man smirked. "Well same goes to your family."

"My family, sir...is more honorable than yours!" Her emerald green eyes flashed.

"More honorable? Do you know your history, princess? Maybe you should go back to memory lane and see who was it who had supported that awful dictator." He said distastefully.

Sakura gave him a confused face. "Supported the dictator? I have no idea what you are talking about."

Li Syaoran smirked. "You don't even know your family's roots yet you have the nerve to call yours to be 'more honorable'"

"Okay...you know what? This is useless." She waved her hand in front of her. "I am NOT having this kind conversation with you."

She started walking briskly towards the door, but before she knew it, the young man grabbed her by the arm and shoved her against the wall. She gasped as her back hit the hard surface. His hand gripped her upper arm and pinned her. His body blocked any chances of escaping.

"DON'T YOU EVEN THINK FOR A SECOND THAT I AM GOING TO LET YOU GO THAT EASILY." He looked down at her with angry eyes. "I am going to get some answers and I am going to get them NOW."

"WHAT ANSWERS DO YOU WANT TO GET!" Sakura finally replied in the same volume. "I'VE BEEN GIVING YOU HONESTS ONES BUT YOU STILL KEEP INSISTING YOUR TWISTED BELIEFS!" Her emerald eyes shone with such intensity.

"YOU CAN'T BLAME ME FOR DOUBTING!"

"WELL YOU CAN'T BLAME ME EITHER!"

Both of them continued shouting at each others faces.

"IT IS UNTHINKABLE THAT AGATHA TURNED OUT TO BE A KINOMOTO!"

"SAME GOES FOR DAMASKI-IS TO BE A LI!"

"FOR ALL I KNOW IT IS A KINOMOTO PLOT AGAINST ME!"

"FOR ALL I KNOW IT IS A LI PLOT TO HURT MY FAMILY!"

"IT COULD BE TAVENZOUH'S SCHEME!"

"DON'T INCLUDE HIM HERE COZ HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THAT I AM DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH INTERVEST!"

"OH REALLY? MAYBE IT'S YOUR DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO BURDEN ME SINCE I AM ABOUT TO MARRY TAVENZOUH'S IRL GIRLFRIEND IN INTERVEST!"

"EXCUSE ME...BUT AREN'T I THE ONE WHOSE GOING TO HAVE THAT SO CALLED BURDEN! DON'T YOU REALIZE THE IMPACT!"

"IF YOU KNOW THE IMPACT THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU STILL AGREE TO MARRY ONE OF YOUR BOYFRIEND'S ENEMY IN INTERVEST!"

"DO YOU THINK I WOULD WANT THAT TO HAPPEN! I DIDN'T KNOW YUKITO IS CEDRIC TAVENZOUH. I WASN'T EVEN AWARE THAT HE PLAYED THE GAME."

"WHAT KIND OF GIRLFRIEND ARE YOU...NOT TO EVEN KNOW THAT DETAIL!"

"DON'T YOU DARE QUESTION ME WITH SUCH A THING. I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN OUR RELATIONSHIP TO YOU!"

"SKYLARK IS MY DREAM! I'VE SPENT EVERY SWEAT I HAVE IN CONCEPTUALIZING IT AND BUILDING IT. I can't believe..." Li Syaoran banged his head lightly on the wall behind Sakura. Her eyes were the same level as his shoulders. She tilted her head upward to look at him. "...that the person I ended up trusting the most inside the game..." he continued to speak more softly now; eyes closed. "...turned out to be my family's worst enemy IRL."

"Well..." Sakura started to speak calmly. "...InterVEST had been my escape world. A place for me to act freely without being under scrutinizing eyes. I guess...one way or another, it had grown important to me..." Then she glanced down at her toes. "...including everything inside it."

Silence overcame both of them. As if they suddenly ran out of words to throw at each other.

"Damn it." Li Syaoran finally said and muttered under his breath. He slowly eased himself away from the cage he had made around Sakura; much to the girl's relief. He placed his hands on his waist and walked towards the curtained windows. The lights from the outside casted shadows at were he stood. He sighed and ended up sitting down at a white-sheeted chair in front of the drawn drapes. He looked out at the night sky as he absent-mindedly ran his fingers on his hair.

For a moment there, the Li Syaoran everyone feared became someone who seemed lost and weary. Sakura almost felt sorry for the guy. He surely looks like someone as surprised and confused as I am on what to do. Her emerald eyes softened.

"You know..." She started to say while she walked towards him. "...we are both victims here. Victims of fate." Sakura opted sitting beside him in front of the window.

Li Syaoran peered at her; one hand supported his chin. "You are convinced that I didn't plot the whole thing?"

Then she looked at him. "Are you convinced that I didn't either?"

They both just stared at each other. Silence once again overcame them.

-silence-

Finally, Sakura spoke. "What do you intend to do?"

Li Syaoran exhaled heavily. He reached inside his coat and pulled out a shiny object. Sakura didn't realize what it was at first but then recognition filled her.

"Hoe!" It was the knife from years ago.

The young man turned it around so that the handle was the one exposed to her. He held on to the blade side and hand it over to Sakura. "You do know what this is, don't you?"

The girl couldn't believe that she was seeing the controversial object. With shaky hands, she reached for the knife and took it from Li Syaoran. Once within her grasp, she looked at it intently. The knife was not that heavy. Its blade was carefully crafted and the handle included the Li family crest. She looked back at the guy sitting beside her who seemed to have riveted his gaze back at the oblivion of the night.

"This is..." She swallowed nervously. "...from years ago..."

"Same knife." He answered briskly without letting her finish.

"Hoe!" She glanced back down at the sharp object. "...it is still in good condition."

"It should be." Again, he replied casually and swiftly. "I've spent quite some time trying to maintain its original form."

"Why?"

"Because it is the Li Family heirloom." His eyes continued to gaze outside.

"Hoe!" Sakura blinked. So her brother did indeed see such a knife. And to think that it was actually a family heirloom. But that would only mean..."Did you try killing me?"

"Back then? Nah...it was done by a Li-wannabe that wanted to impress my mother. I misplaced the knife somewhere and he took it. But I'm not going to lie to you. My mother was absolutely thrilled."

Sakura didn't know whether to laugh or to cry or to be scared.

"Why are you giving this to me now?" She asked.

"I am not giving it to you." Li Syaoran replied. "I am showing it to you."

"Why?"

"So that you'll know that it is supposedly the weapon that should have been used again to try to take your life tonight." He let his gaze fall back on her to see her reaction.

She gasped as her eyes widened. "By another wannabe?" She asked hopefully.

"No."

Sakura bent her head questioningly.

"By me."

Silence past by them as their eyes locked against each other once more.

"Then why are you telling me this?" It came out almost a whisper as her emerald eyes sparkled with uncertainty.

It took him a minute or two before answering. "I don't know."

An awkward silence overtook the place.

-insert awkward silence here -

"So are you going to kill me now? Me and you alone in this dark function room is a good opportunity." Sakura couldn't believe that she was saying this.

"I don't think I can do that any longer." He replied.

"Howcome?"

"Coz whether I like it or not...you've become a part of my dreams." Li Syaoran answered without looking at her.

insert another awkward silence here -

- silence -

- silence -

"I'm not sure if I know how to react in this particular situation." Sakura smiled nervously.

"Who does?" He said with a weary face.

- silence -

- silence -

- silence -


"So does this mean...you are not going to back out?" She asked him thoughtfully.

"Would you?" He throws back her question.

"I don't know." She looked down once more. "I was sorta...going to rely on your answer."

"So you're a 'go' if I am a 'go'?" He raised one brow at her inquisitively.

"Something like that." Sakura avoided his eyes. "You're the brain behind SkyLark, after all. It was all your idea. So I guess, in a situation like this...I shall acknowledge Damaski-is first and foremost before Li Syaoran."

"I see." He smirked.

- silence -

- silence -


"I think we are taking longer than expected." Sakura remembered the time. "Shouldn't the event be starting now?"

"No."

"Eh? You sounded so sure." She blinked at him.

"Because I requested the organizers to hold everything until I give them a signal." An arrogant smile crept on his face.

"Hoe! You can do that?"

"Yeah..." His hand reached for the knife she was holding which she returned to him cautiously. "My oh my...Agatha. Have you forgotten who I am in InterVEST?"

"How could I forget."

- silence -

- silence -


"They are probably looking for you by now, though." He said to her.

She realized it all of a sudden. For a moment there, she actually regretted leaving her sit. Li Syaoran's company seemed to be more inviting than the questions she would be facing later when she gets back. That is if they realized that she had been gone for too long.

"Just tell them you lost an earring that you and that butler of yours ended looking for it around the hotel." He suggested as if he had read her mind.

"Hoe! You know about George?" She asked him cheerfully.

He smirked once more. "Yeah...found out about him after that bear stunt you pulled in Central Park. That zombie-like man is not suited to be an amusement's staff."

"He is very loyal to me."

"I can tell...that's why I know he will cover up for you." He took out his cellphone and started to dial a number.

"Who are you calling?" Sakura asked as if she has any right to ask, but Li Syaoran doesn't seem to mind the inquiry.

"InterVEST organizers." He paused for a moment. "You really should go back now."

"Yes...I think I really should." She stood up and started walking towards the door.

"Agatha..."

"Hoe?"

"...we will proceed according to plan."
