Chapter 8: Different

Eriol Hiiragizawa wasn't happy at all.

Not one bit.

Who could blame him? No one likes to clean dog poop, especially a pile of that magnitude. Pinching his nose with a peg, he picked the poop up with plastic covered hands and dropped the pile onto pieces of newspaper.

Unfortunately, the peg on his nose came loose and Eriol made the mistake of breathing in.

"Oh shit."

The teen quickly dashed for the nearest toilet, which is about a few hundred metres away. Poor Eriol.

Syaoran rolled his eyes at the sight of his pampered cousin. True, Syaoran was richer than Eriol but he did his fair share of hard work when he was young. Its not that he enjoys cleaning dog poop, especially if it belongs to Kero the monster, but watching Eriol green in the face is a good consolation prize.

Dumping the humungous bag of poop into the trash bin, Syaoran stretched like a cat after bending over for quite some time. As he watched the clouds rolled by, he thought to himself.

"I knew it, Sakura has been acting all along. No snob could play like her. The Sakura I knew so long ago, is still somewhere underneath that mask. Was everything just a charade?"

While the heir pondered, his fiancé watched him from her room, scratching Kero's ears as she sighed almost inaudibly.

"He knows my secret. I'm sure he does. I shouldn't have played with him…Why does he have to be so sharp? If only Hiroji was here…."

Ina Hiroji…had practically abandoned his "girlfriend" to her own resources. He hasn't contacted her since the day Syaoran's sister was attacked. He still didn't explain to her why he had hurt Fanran. Was her father right about Hiroji?

"No…He's been with me for so long and hasn't lied to me once. There must be a reason for his actions underneath that queer incident."

"Beep-beep.."

"Speaking of the devil…"

Sakura picked up her cellphone as Kero left the room. Gulping, she stared at the screen, with words blinking, "Dar Hiroji"

With trembling hands, she pressed the receive button and whispered, "Moshi moshi?"

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SAKURA?"

Sakura yelped at Hiroji's sudden voice. He sounded very different, totally unlike how he used to.

"What do you mean Hiroji?"

"I MEAN THE beep kiss on the FRONTPAGE! WHAT ELSE COULD I MEAN?"

Sakura was close to hyperventilating, for the first time ever, she was scared of Hiroji.

"It was an accident! Really! When we left the mall, I realized I didn't pay for the dress and turned around. Things went bad and I landed onto Syao-…I mean Li."

"YOU'RE ON FIRST NAME BASIS WITH THAT BASTARD?"

Sakura epped in horror and remained silent. Then, she suddenly heard desperate muffles on the other end.

"What was that?"

Hiroji replied, "Ergh..it was nothing. I'll call you later. Busy……BEEEP"

Sakura sighed in relief. Hiroji was never this jealous, since Sakura was always faithful to him. Was it true that she's now two-timing?

Emerald eyes closed in confusement as the girl wondered this question to herself.

"No…I'm not. My only other will only be Ina Hiroji, not Syaoran Li."

Boy, she doesn't know how wrong she is.

(A/N: Can't blame her…she's blinded by l-o-v-e)

Yelan Li sighed to herself. She has just gotten off the phone with Fujitaka. He was quite surprised about the news but was a little disheartened when he heard from Yelan that the kiss was just an accident. Fujitaka was clearly worried for his daughter…and she couldn't blame him.

Looking at the bag that belonged to the house's intruder, she saw the black markings on her son's faces. Could someone hate the couple so much?

Ring ring

Her phone rang. Yelan was snapped out of her thoughts and answered the phone, " Yes? This is the Li Household."

"Yelan, is that you?"

A warm smile broke on Yelan's face, "Da jie, shi ni ma?" (Big sister, is that you?")

He Yeling, the eldest daughter in the Rae family has just called.

"Shi. (Yes). I'm calling to invite your family to my husband's and I anniversary ball."

Yelan gasped, "It's the 30th one isn't it? Boy, you two are just too close!"

Laughter rang on the other end. "Look who's talking. I'm not the one with 5 children."

Yelan laughed, embarrassed, "What? We needed an heir!"

Yeling laughed, "Ok..ok…and the theme this year is Spanish. Oh! And why don't you ask your son and future daughter-in-law to perform the tango? I'm sure the guests would love it, according to the response from the news. snickers"

Yelan sweatdropped, "Sure sister…whatever you say…"

I will now say the question going through everyone's mind, "What's going to happen from here?"

O

O

O

"Erm, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I didn't hear you right. Did you just say TANGO?"

Syaoran exclaimed in terror while Sakura stood beside him, rendered speechless.

Yelan knew this would happen, "Since you two are confined for at least the next two weeks, you might as well spend some of that free time learning something new for your aunt's anniversary ball two weeks later. I've already got dance instructors for you two; they'll be in the recreation room on the second floor. Tomorrow is the first lesson. "

Yelan left the couple standing mortified, in the silent room.

"Syaoran-kun..An no ne…Do we really have to do this?"

"Hiroji is GOING TO KILL ME!"

Syaoran glanced at his fiancé and replied reluctantly, "I guess so."

"…"

"…"

"So, do you want to go to the basement arcade?"

Syaoran went silent, and then replied, "Sure, why not? This day just can't get any worst."

Next day…

Lucky for the couple, they had managed to ask Yelan to allow them to get Eriol and Tomoyo to be dragged in as well. Tomoyo and Eriol won't be dancing in front of the audience but just as Yelan said, "Learn something new."

As the clock struck noon, the four stood before their dance instructors, Allison and Ivan.

Both definitely weren't Chinese. Yelan must have paid a lot for them to come here (within a day) to teach these four to dance.

(A/N: They're real life people from so you think you can dance show, watch their dance, one word,, HOT! S+S dance is goona be smth like that…rofl - go to u-tube and search SYTUCD allsion ivan)

"Morning to the four of you. Allison and I are here to teach you the Argentine Tango. You have two weeks to practice."

Tomoyo then raised her hand, "Er…is it hard?"

Allison shook her head, "It's quite face-paced and if you're not comfortable with your partner, it will be difficult."

One word rang for the teens, "Doom."

"We'll tell you the basics of the tango and some of the steps you'll be learning"

"Argentine Tango styles is danced in an embrace that can vary from very open, in which leader and follower connect at arms length, to very closed, in which the connection is chest-to-chest, or anywhere in between. Close embrace is often associated with the more traditional styles, while open embrace leaves room for many of the embellishments and figures that are associated with Tango Nuevo."

"The steps you're going to learn is something like this" The four teens turned to a shart beside the instructors. It goes like this:

Walks - a couple, in embrace, walks in unison

Salida Simple, or "eight-count basic" - salida as "the way out" onto the dance floor

Cruzada - (from cruzar - to cross) Action of the follower crossing her left foot over her right at certain points in the dance

Ocho - a figure-8 traced by the follower's feet when moving forward or backward.

Molinete - "windmill" a turning figure of the follower around the leader

Sacada - one partner displaces the other's unweighted leg

Gancho - one dancer hooks their leg around their partner's leg.

Barrida - one partner sweeps the others foot, displacing it along the floor

Arrastre - Drags

Volcada - rotating the woman around her axis, while her axis is tilted toward the man, causes her to "capsize" making the free leg "spill" tracing a figure on the floor"

Despite the difficult Spanish words, the teens knew exactly what the description means.

Syaoran then asked, "Can you demonstrate the dance for us once?"

The instructors nodded and asked Tsukiko, Sakura's maid to manage the radio.

The instructors got into their position as music boomed through the room. The teens watched in amazement and nervousness. They watched the fast paced steps and close body movements, and very close almost kisses.

Sakura gulped, blushing beet red, "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no!"

Tomoyo, on the other hand, shivered in fear, "After that experience, I certainly do NOT want a male's body THAT close to mine. It's almost public molestation!!!!!"

Once Allison and Ivan's performance was complete, they had left in four gaping with awe, terror and fear. The male teens just thought, "What if Sakura/Tomoyo and I really do THAT? God, kill me now."

"We'll start slow. Get into your positions."

Let's leave the teens to their doomsday shall we?

Hours Later…in the basement.

The teens slumped, exhausted onto the couch. They had spent the better part of the afternoon (about four hours) in the recreation room. All four were pretty much amateur dancers, but the dance was incredibly hard, since all of them are reluctant to even let their chests touch.

"Why am I doing this?" Eriol asked out loud to no one in particular.

Sakura then replied, "Because I promised Tomoyo a week of continuous dressing-up and she needed a partner"

"Syaoran closed his eyes and then smirked as he too added in his bit, "Plus, it's a good way to improve you two relationship isn't it?"

The said other couple went fiery red, just like the dance they were suppose to learn.

Tomoyo stuttered her response, "Improve what? Anyways, I'm feeling hot. Why don't we go for a swim?"

Sakura giggled, "Nice way to change the topic cousin." Then she realized something, "Oh! I'm afraid I didn't pack swimming suits"

Tomoyo suddenly stood up, her eyes sparkling stars, "NEVER FEAR! Tomoyo Daidouji is here!"

The three sweatdropped as Syaoran said, "We'll meet at the pool at 5."

Minutes later, Syaoran and Eriol were already dipping in the pool while the girls were still in the house….scratch that…mansion choosing their suits.

Syaoran thought as he backstroked, "If Sakura is gonna wear something revealing, I swear Daidouji is so gonna die under my-"

Out of the blue, a hand reached for his leg from below the water. Before the ambusher could do anything, thanks to Syaoran's training, he swirled and grasped onto the person's thin wrist.

"Wait a minute…thin?"

He looked more carefully in the water even though its blur, he could see clear surprised emerald orbs.

The couple then let go of each other and went for the surface. The pool was quite deep.

Syaoran gasped for air as Sakura followed suit.

"What the hell do you think you were doing?"

Sakura coughed up some water, "Scaring you for beating me at Para Para yesterday. Mou, can't you be less reflexive?"

Syaoran didn't reply, since he was too busy staring at Sakura's suit under the water.

It was white and pink, the two Colours blending nicely. Cherry blossom flowers were sewn on the bottom piece and in the middle of the two cups. Damn Tomoyo to be such a good designer. His stare would have lasted longer if he saw her on land.

"HelloMr KungFu…you there?"

Syaoran snapped out of it and gave a grunt, before swimming to the more shallow end of the pool.

Sakura stared after her fiancé and huffed, "What's his problem?"

Soon after, Kero joined them. Thanks to the water, he was miraculously able to swim. The teens laughed while Tomoyo sat on the land, still untouched by water. Strange, wasn't she the one who suggested to them that they should swim?

When Kero got out, Sakura said she'll take a minute to blow-dry Kero off before he messes up the house.

Syaoran and Eriol went of together to the kitchen to grab some drinks, leaving Tomoyo at the pool.

Sighing at the sudden silence, Tomoyo decided to slip into the water.

"Ummm the water feels good…"

After swimming to the deep end, she suddenly felt a cramp on her left leg.

"Oh no…"

She struggled a lot, but her attempts for air were futile. She was sinking and slowly slipping to unconsciousness.

"Someone help."
