Title: Road Trip

Authoress: Crayon Eater Aya

Full Summary: Road: a long surfaced route broad enough for vehicles to be driven on it.

Road Trip: an amusing experience wherein characters fall in love and have unimaginable fun.

Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura… heartbreaking isn't it?

Notes: After agonizing on whose point of view I would start the story with, I decided to view the situation through Syaoran's eyes. After all, his reaction would be most amusing, don't you think? Oh and by the way, this is an alternate universe story.

PROLOGUE

He woke up slowly, vaguely distinguishing where he was through the darkness. The 19 year old struggled out of his silk blankets and got off the bed, stumbling towards the door of his balcony. He rubbed his eyes unconsciously as his free hand opened the curtains causing the glare of the sun to blind his ocher eyes. He mumbled curses as he turned away from the balcony and idly walked to his laptop.

He plopped down on his computer chair as he turned on the laptop and proceeded to check his e-mail account. Scratching his messy chocolate hair he opened his account and looked uninterested with only one e-mail stored in his inbox.

The handsome man raised an eyebrow as he noticed that the sender was anonymous with no subject as well. He yawned as he opened the mail, his eyes reading it silently.

Salutations Li Xiao Lang!

You have been invited to a road trip that would take place in Japan. This will take place four days from now and our company wishes you would accept.

He was about to delete the said mail but the following sentences caught his eyes.

If you don't accept however, we would be forced to take drastic measures. We know what really happened at that gay bar sir and we are not afraid to use it against you. If you want to keep this secret safe, accept the invitation and be at Japan Airlines on Friday. We will assign someone to pick you up. If you do not arrive by Friday we will distribute the videos to your company's business partners and sponsors.

Thank you for your cooperation, Future Li Clan Leader and don't try to wiggle your way out of this one. Your future is in our hands, we are not troubled by blackmailing you. Once again, thank you and good day. (Be there by Friday or you're ruined).

Syaoran's eyes widened and his skin visibly paled. 'How do they know what happened there?'

He gulped as sweatdrops rolled down his face. He tugged at the collar of his pajamas while standing up. Various emotions flashed in his amber eyes. It was then that he decided. A little road trip won't change anything, right?

And now here he was, standing in front of Tokyo Tower thanks to the assistance of a very scary man dressed in a pure black suit. He gripped the handle of his suitcase in one hand while his other hand was toying with the strap of his messenger bag containing his beloved laptop.

He looked around and sighed. Suddenly something crashed into him earning an incoherent sound from his lips. He landed on the ground, the object that crashed into him positioned awkwardly in his arms. He closed his eyes as he felt the pain of the accident.

"Itai…" she muttered.

He opened his eyes and found himself staring at a head of auburn hair. He felt his eye twitch as he realized what crashed into him and what position they were in now.

"Get off me you clumsy little--"

The girl raised her head and bright green eyes met dark amber ones.

"Sakura?"

Notes: Hehehe! I was supposed to stop writing when Syaoran received the e-mail but this was more fun! Read & Review!
